However, they found nothing in sight.

Not only Qin Feng but the Dark-Robed Ripper was also nowhere to be seen.

'Darn! How could we have lost two targets in an instance?'

'We can't let Qin Feng escape. He is a student of Chengbei University. He is not to join the evaluation next month.'

'His potential is beyond the chart. He is going to disrupt the power balance in Chengyang at this rate. My uncle is one of the strongest candidates to run for mayor next term. We can't afford to let him mature into our future threat.'

'Damn you, Qin Feng. You should pay with blood for killing my underling!"

The members of the "search and kill" team might have a different purpose in mind but they all had one common target—to put an end to Qin Feng's meteoric rise.

Nevertheless, none of them could locate Qin Feng.

They were not to be blamed. Most parts of the Zimu Mountains had now turned into bare lands. Rotting trees were consumed by dark runes and would soon turn into bewitched plants. This caused the Zimu Mountains to be stained by the black color of death. Both Qin Feng and the Ripper were dark ability users so they could conceal themselves in the environment without being noticed.

However, they could clearly sense each other. After all, they were almost equal in power, with Qin Feng perhaps slightly stronger overall since he was also an ancient warrior.

'Let's get this done quickly.' With this thought in mind, Qin Feng pursued the Ripper with Bai Li on his side.

The Dark-Robed Ripper could sense the imminent danger and dashed toward the peak hastily.

At the mountain peak, the Emperor Knight was annoyed by the flies that had suddenly occupied the sky of his turf. Without its spear, the beast could no longer launch ranged attacks and thus it could only wait for its prey to come down.

The beast's attention was distracted by the search team and it had also failed to realize the presence of the Dark-Robed Ripper in stealth mode.

'Gotcha!' Qin Feng sneered and intercepted the Ripper with his well-built body.

Bang!

The Dark-Robed Ripper took the hit and was bounced into the air. It landed hard on the ground and continued to roll down the hill before it was stopped by a giant tree.

Slash!

Qin Feng quickly followed up with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

He did not expect that the Ripper's robe was also made of runes. It exploded into a dark mist as soon as the saber came into contact with it. Qin Feng felt like he had hit on a large pile of fluffy cotton instead of the Ripper's body.

"Grrrr!"

The Dark-Robed Ripper was infuriated and evoked all its power.

Without being watched by drones, Qin Feng neither retreated nor evaded this time.

Though his saber was unable to cut through the Ripper, Qin Feng still had plenty of tricks up his sleeves.

Qin Feng retracted the saber and wrapped his hand around the robe.

"Absorb!" The dark runes of the robe disappeared into his palm under the effect of his innate ability.

With the mist protecting the Ripper gone, Qin Feng finally managed to grab its body.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

This secret art not only could devour the enemy's inner power but it also exerted ten times the force in return. The impact created by the two opposing forces was especially suffocating.

It was the Ripper's arm that Qin Feng was gripping at the moment.

Poof!

The arm exploded under the grinding force. There was no blood but only flesh that burst into pieces along with the black robe.

'Break!'

Qin Feng heaved and forcefully tore the remaining arm apart from the Ripper's body.

The noisy battle did not go unnoticed. The ancient warriors on gliders finally discovered Qin Feng's whereabouts and began to descend.

Not only that but the Emperor Knight had also sensed its demised comrade.

"Roar!!!"

The Emperor Knight was enraged. Its Umbra Stallion dashed through the air and entered the battle zone almost at the same time as the ancient warriors' arrival.

"Stop the knight!" Liu Ba from Dongling colony bellowed yet he himself jumped on the Dark-Robed Ripper.

Nobody cared about the Emperor Knight right now. They were all here to take advantage of the dying Ripper.

'Bunch of hooligans!' Qin Feng triggered his inner force once again.

'Asteroid Assimilation!' Instantly, a vortex of energy appeared around Qin Feng.

"What the hell is this?"

None of the ancient warriors had experienced the power of Asteroid Assimilation before. They panicked and were horrified to find that their inner power was disappearing rapidly as if it were being sucked out by an external force.

Nonetheless, these were E-tiers with massive battle experience. They knew that this vortex was either Qin Feng or the Ripper's doing. There was one simple way to escape the vortex, which was to back off until the edge of the affected area.

The E-tier aptitude users were indeed powerful enough to escape the strange whirlpool easily.

'Too late!' Qin Feng leered. He had foreseen the attack of the Emperor Knight.

Since no one was slowing down the knight, it charged in with its shield and knocked an ancient warrior out of its way.

The ancient warrior spilled blood but luckily it was not too serious. Even so, he had lost the ability and stamina to compete with others now.

Unfortunately, a ghastly figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"My dear sir, why did you gang up and attack me just now?" Qin Feng asked rhetorically.

The face of the fallen warrior paled rapidly. Before he could defend himself, Qin Feng had laid his hand on the warrior's dantian.

Asteroid Assimilation!

His rich inner power was devoured by Qin Feng.

If the internal force of an F-tier ancient warrior was described as thin mist, then that of the E-tier ancient warrior was as thick as a sea of clouds.

Qin Feng digested the sea of clouds swiftly inside his own dantian and turned them into ten patches of energy mists. These, of course, were still not as dense as Qin Feng's original energy mass.

Regardless, it was better than naught! This could greatly amplify his training speed.

"What have you done to me?" The E-tier ancient warrior was devastated after he realized that his dantian had been emptied and could no longer generate any internal strength.

"My respected senior, I only require your explanation. But since you are heavily injured, I will let it slide for now and we shall get to it when we are back in the base." Qin Feng said righteously and turned to the others.

Those who had besieged him before were now being pursued by the Emperor Knight.

Qin Feng's skill earlier on had critically derailed them. Yet, some of them were able to remain unharmed, such as Lin Zheng and Han Jian.

"Haha, good job, Qin Feng." Han Jian laughed hysterically. He was here to stop the others but figured that he was not needed after all.

While Lin Zheng had restrained himself from making a move in front of Han Jian, he was not shameless to the point where he would publicly kill a comrade from the same colony.

"We have to kill the Emperor Knight together or none of us are going to get out alive!"

Liu Ba growled and charged in first. Others knew that what he said was true. If they were to still refuse to work together now, then the whole team might be annihilated. Hence, everyone cooperated and brought out their best attack.

These individuals were actually capable fighters but they were overwhelmed by the Emperor Knight before because each of them were fighting for their own lowly intentions.

Why had they given up on the Dark-Robed Ripper? Because the beast had once again blended into the dark surroundings and the ancient warriors had lost trace of it once more.

Chapter 98: The Emperor Knight Dies!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Hehe!" The Dark-Robed Ripper let out a blood-thirsty cackle that echoed through the darkness. At the same time, a powerful beam of dark ray burst forth.

All seven of the ancient warriors present were helplessly caught within the dark ray's area of impact.

Of course, Qin Feng was not one of them.

Of the seven ancient warriors, one already had his internal strength sucked away by Qin Feng. The distance between Han Jian and Lin Zheng was too large for them to make it in time. This meant that the lives of the remaining four warriors were now hanging onto a thread that could snap at any moment.

In mere moments, the Emperor Knight had regained the upper hand.

"Goddamn it! Kill that ripper thing already!"

"I can't detect it! Why don't you kill it yourself!?"

"Where's Qin Feng? Isn't he able to detect it?"

As the seconds went by, these people realised how dire the situation had now become, and they wanted Qin Feng to take the reigns!

Qin Feng's cynical laugh reverberated in the darkness.

He was no fool. Why would he attack?

However, no slack was given as the Dark-Robed Ripper suddenly reappeared. This time, it materialised right beside the body of the person whose internal energy was drained by Qin Feng.

It went straight for the person's neck, sinking its teeth deep into where the jugular vein was.

"Aaaghhhh!"

The person let out a blood-curdling wail that was accompanied by the grotesque sound of bubbling as blood slowly oozed out from his windpipe.

"Somebody, save me! Save me!"

It was a shame that no one dared to save him. Nobody could. Among the eight people present, they were divided into five separate classes but nobody belonged to the same class as the victim.

Even if there was someone with the same level of skill as him present, just like how both Qin Feng and Lin Zheng hailed from Cheng Bei colony, should crap hit the fan for one person, it could be guaranteed that the other would never step in to lend a hand!

Thus, that man's calls for help were in vain; he was as good as dead.

In the blink of an eye, that person turned into a dried up human pulp as the ripper sucked him dry. Where the wrist of the Dark-Robed Ripper was exposed, one could observe a rapid regeneration of bone, blood and muscle.

"Die!"

Lin Zheng seized the opportunity and attempted to finish off the Dark-Robed Ripper.

His body showed no signs of weakness even after being hit by the dark ray. Of all the ancient warriors present, the one with the strongest combat capability was now him.

Qin Feng, too, suddenly broke out and attacked.

The Dark-Robed Ripper was not an entity that could be slain so easily by mere mortals. If not for Qin Feng's immunity to dark abilities, the outcome would have been much more different!

As the two powers clashed, a white-hot glow started expanding, encapsulating the surroundings.

The lone Emperor Knight was facing an enemy with numerical superiority. While his abilities granted him extreme powers, in a death struggle against E-tier aptitude users, he could only hold out for so long.

"Roar!"

The Emperor Knight roared furiously. While busily fending off the unrelenting attacks from his two enemies, the shield he was gripping in his hands was sent flying out at great speed.

The sharp end of the shield mercilessly lodged itself near dead center on the chest of one of the ancient warriors.

Crack!

The sound of his ribcage shattering was audible to all that stood nearby.

Poof!

The unfortunate ancient warrior retreated a distance away before he collapsed and vomited out a mouthful of dark-red blood. His entire chest cavity caved in from the impact and not long after, his eyes lost the luster it once had.

His final thought was one of regret. Why was he so keen on grabbing this job, this job that he had to pay for with his life.

Qin Feng, who was hiding in the dark, reappeared by the deceased warrior's side.

"Gulp!"

His large, muscular frame exuded raw strength. Like an unstoppable tidal wave, the warrior was taken into Qin Feng's dantian, where a massive reservoir of internal strength was contained.

Yet another dozen or so clouds of mist were integrated into his dantian.

"Xiao Bai, tuck away that shield!"

In the darkness, Bai Li who never once revealed herself activated her spatial manipulation, and in the next instant, the shield was nowhere to be seen.

The Emperor Knight had now lost yet another weapon. This time, he found the pesky thief he was looking for.

After all, Qin Feng was the only that appeared right beside the body that was struck by his shield!

"Roar!"

The Emperor Knight bellowed once more as he dug his heels into the side of his spirit horse, beckoning it to charge toward Qin Feng.

Without a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng started running.

The four people who were fighting against the Emperor Knight recognised an opportunity when they saw one. Not wanting to let this chance slip away, they too, started giving chase.

However, they could never match the speed of the Emperor Knight's seasoned warhorse.

Qin Feng's speed, on the other hand, was vastly different!

"Fire Beam!"

The most crucial moment had arrived as Qin Feng made his stand.

His fire beam, contrasted with the darkness of the night sky, looked like fireworks from afar; one could easily get lost in its beauty. However, looks could and do kill. Moments after the beam was shot off by Qin Feng, a massive hole appeared right at the center of the Emperor Knight's torso.

Boom!

This time, the Emperor Knight was sent flying off the back of his warhorse.

Everything that Bai Li knew was directly from Qin Feng's lessons, mostly by the use of simple analogies. The Emperor Knight's spear as well as his shield were now stored away safely in her private space. The only thing left now, was the lone warhorse standing idle on the battlefield without its master. Bai Li's eyes lit up as one would at the sight of a delicious meal awaiting. Streaks of spatial passages appeared in the air which swallowed up the warhorse whole, leaving no trace behind.

The Emperor Knight had now become a general without his army, a paper tiger.

Refusing to let this chance escape, Qin Feng walked over with large, confident strides.

"Die!"

Qin Feng raised his arm and took aim. The hand cannon in his grip was now humming with a low frequency, indicating that it was primed for firing.

Bang!

A shell burst out of the barrel, spinning toward its target.

Liu Ba and the rest who were giving chase arrived at the scene, their eyes widened as if they were about to spew out insults.

However, they did not have time to spare for such unnecessary acts. Everyone dropped onto the ground, laying down to avoid being caught up in the explosion.

The ground where the Emperor Knight laid erupted as an ear-splitting explosion shook the air around them.

Flames licked the earth and the aftershock from the explosion was so powerful that it knocked some of the ancient warriors off their feet. Everyone present felt firsthand, its immense power, as their organs shifted around within their bodies.

Qin Feng, however, did not even have a single scratch on his body. As his fire beam attack sent the Emperor Knight flying backwards, the distance between him and the explosion was the largest.

Without waiting for the dust to settle, Qin Feng rushed into the flames with fire runes floating around his body, forming a barrier against the extreme temperature of his surroundings.

The Emperor Knight laid motionless at ground zero of the explosion. What was surprising was that despite the immense explosion, he was not completely vaporized as one normally would be. Though, its armour had now been twisted into an almost unrecognisable form and its skull had been detached from the torso.

It was safe to say that the guy was as good as dead!

Qin Feng bent over and picked up the helmet, not forgetting to pour out what remained of the Emperor Knight's head.

"Thud!"

A bare skull with the same density as a metal plopped out of the helmet onto the ground.

However, that was not the end of it. Through its eye sockets, there appeared to be a fist-sized, crimson-colored energy core.

An F8-tier king core!

This thing could be worth up to billions if it were put up for auction in Wanzong!

"Honey, I want it, I want it!" Bai Li jumped out from the dark, wrapping herself around Qin Feng. Her eyes were staring intently at the energy core.

Hearing Bai Li's voice, he could feel a chill running up his spine as feelings of guilt surged from within.

"Go ahead!"

Qin Feng, who had a soft spot for Bai Li, gave up the energy core without protest nor second thoughts.

Carefully, she tucked the precious gift away before she did with the Emperor Knight's body and belongings.

"Cough cough! Bastard, Qin Feng, where the hell's the Emperor Knight?"

As the dust gradually settled, Liu Ba and his men came running over. Bai Li once again disappeared into the darkness before they had the chance to see her, leaving only Qin Feng to deal with the situation.

"Been turned into ashes, I reckon" Qin Feng shrugged. Since there was nothing left behind as proof of its death, these people could flip Zimu Mountains over and still find no trace of the Emperor Knight!

"You're terrible at lying! You've probably hidden the Emperor Knight somewhere! Where's the spatial runic equipment you brought with you? Let me set things straight, the Emperor Knight's death was our collective effort. You've got no right to have things all to yourself!"

Qin Feng chuckled at the statement.

"Without you guys, I'd still be able to kill it. With you guys around, there's nothing for me to gain since you'd all be fighting over the loot!"

"Arrogance leads to nowhere, Qin Feng!"

"Little bastard, you're asking for it!"

The other two ancient warriors, too, entered into the fray.

Chapter 99: He Who Strikes First Prevails

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Han Jian was quite obviously on Qin Feng's side.

"What's the matter? Has the time come to take credit for the kill? It's not like you guys actually took him out, is it? Even if we were to get our share of the reward, there'd only be ten million for us each. Y'know what, how about I just pay you that measly amount to keep your mouths shut?"

While Han Jian was expressly talking about money, it was a roundabout statement of how incompetent yet greedy these people were.

"Han Jian, don't you forget that you are also one of those who joined the attack on the Emperor Knight!" Liu Ba yelled out in an attempt to point out the hypocrisy of Han Jian's statement.

"So what of it? This whole thing involving the Emperor Knight was just something that I stumbled onto back when I was in Chengbei colony."

Out of the five people at the scene, only Qin Feng and Han Jian were from Chengbei colony. The other three were from separate regions so going by the majority, it became apparent to whom most credit was due.

It was at this moment that Qin Feng interrupted with a laugh.

"If I were you guys, I wouldn't be frolicking around here for too long. Have you forgotten the fact that the Dark-Robed Ripper is still out there, waiting to strike?"

Qin Feng's words struck them like lightning.

"This is bad!"

Back there, Lin Zheng alone faced the Dark-Robed Ripper, and none of them were willing to redirect their forces to aid his battle, the reason being that the Emperor Knight was showing signs of weakness. No one wanted to give up on the battle just yet.

Who would have thought that the credit of bringing down the Emperor Knight would be snatched away by Qin Feng. Now, they were left to face the Dark-Robed Ripper who was the main entity supporting this spatial passage as well as where the most important task lay as of now.

What remained of the group hurried back where they came from.

Unknown to them though, the situation involving the Dark-Robed Ripper was not as good as they had expected!

The Dark-Robed Ripper possessed dark abilities which allowed it to escape from the grasp of its enemies much easier than the Emperor Knight. Not to mention the fact that king-tier beings had intelligence on par with humans; upon breaking away from Qin Feng's attacks, the Dark-Robed Ripper had gone on to amass an army of zombies.

Hidden amidst the formation of its corpse soldiers, it was practically impossible to be able to discern which was which.

Lin Zheng's expression darkened. He had predicted that the scene would turn multitudes uglier especially after Qin Feng had defeated the Emperor Knight.

Even the ability users who hurried over were visibly hesitant in their every action.

Apart from Deng Nian, there was an E-tier earth ability user as well as a fire ability user of the same tier.

All three of them stood by to observe the situation for a while and only after confirming that things were stable did they start moving forward. After all, ability users were extremely precious assets on the battlefield and to lose even one was too much a price to pay. While these users possessed extremely strong powers, fighting detached without any support was the last thing they would want.

"It seems that our chances of finding that Dark-Robed Ripper is pretty much nil now!"

"Now that there are so many zombies on the mountain's peak, the gunners should just carpet bomb the area to thin out the herd or at least take some burden off our hands!"

"Even if we do not find it, orders are orders. The Emperor Knight's dead now and there's no guarantee that the ripper won't bring out some overpowered monster from a new spatial passage or whatever the hell it has up its sleeve."

"Agreed!"

Victory or defeat now hinged upon their actions and no one was willing to give up just yet. Without delay, they each started relaying information to the gunners.

However, the people on the receiving side of the information were left speechless.

"Cough cough, Qin Feng!" Deng Nian opened up first, calling out to Qin Feng.

"Principal!" Qin Feng replied as he walked up to the person calling out to him.

"Do you need me to cover your retreat?"

Deng Nian was no young chap. Fighting on the frontlines detached from the main fighting force without backup was just too risky for a man his age.

"No I'm not calling out to you for that. Qin Feng, have you locked down the gunners on the battlefield using your consciousness? We've decided to wipe out everything that moves on top of the mother mountain and they're hoping that you can withdraw your consciousness!"

While speaking to Qin Feng, Deng Nian looked up and down his body as if to appraise him. The old man felt impressed by how Qin Feng turned out to be a fine young man. Still, he could not help but feel that he had grown just that little bit older and weaker.

Whatever talents that resided within Qin Feng was truly too strong for him to comprehend!

He did not expect that Qin Feng was able to suppress E-tier gunners using his consciousness alone.

And while that was happening, Qin Feng had been continuously engaged in different battles but still came out on top. His strength was truly something to be reckoned with.

"I just need them to be more careful with their aim. Tell those trigger-happy freaks to aim their shots away from me, else I'd get back at them once I return!"

Qin Feng remarked thornily.

In fact, they too were actually planning as Qin Feng had said. If it were not for the restraints exerted over the gunners by Qin Feng's consciousness, they would be the ones firing the last shot, not him.

While their combat capability was not something to call home about, these gunners could be pretty capable when it came to stealing credit.

"Alright, I'll let them know. Right, before I forget, remember the incident where you injured Lu Heng in a scuffle? Please don't ruminate over that matter any more. Hmph, he pales in comparison with others so pay no heed to that man!"

Deng Nian replied.

Lu Heng was the gunner that Qin Feng and Liu Ba jointly faced off against when he just arrived here for the first time as a newbie. He was also the same person who, not long ago, shot at Qin Feng behind his back which earned him three shells in retaliation, fired by none other than Qin Feng himself.

However, gunners were pretty well-known to be money bags so he must have had some kind of runic equipment on hand shielding him against most harm lobbed at him, hence that was why Qin Feng presumed him to still be alive and kicking.

"Yeah, ruminating over pointless things isn't something I'd do very often."

Qin Feng said as he nodded.

Right after that, the team made a swift retreat back to the base of the mother mountain whereupon arriving, the continuous sound of gunfire echoed through the skies as hell itself rained down upon the mountain.

In mere seconds, large swathes of the Corpse Corps were reduced to smithereens.

The final cannon shot shook the ground a full half hour later which marked the start of their offensive stance. On the ground, everyone, whether ancient warriors or ability users, started rushing up toward the peak of Zimu Mountains for they knew that the Dark-Robed Ripper had no chance of escaping now. Whoever that first grabbed hold of the enemy would be the one to control the entire place.

Deng Nian was the first to attack.

"Light up!"

Activating the runic ability, a ball of light expanded rapidly. Under the blinding ray of light, the surface of the summit looked as white as a sheet of paper and there was not an inch of the place that was covered by darkness.

Deng Nian instantly charged toward a specific direction where the dark runes were the most concentrated, which was likely going to be where the Dark-Robed Ripper was hiding.

The people formed into a moving wall that trailed closely behind Deng Nian.

One simply could not deny the fact that Deng Nian was quite a capable man, being able to locate where the cowardly Dark-Robed Ripper was taking refuge.

Qin Feng walked right beside Deng Nian, scanning the E-tier aptitude users around him vigilantly. He began to take note of which one whose powers he should absorb should he fall onto the ground dead later on. As they say, one man's corpse is another man's treasure.

The group of people who were completely oblivious as to the fact that they were being noted down, pretended to follow nonchalantly behind Deng Nian.

"Hehe, Xiao Bai, time for you to go!" Qin Feng thought in his mind. Xiao Bai, who had forged a contract with Qin Feng, immediately started moving.

While these people were imagining themselves as a praying mantis waiting to strike at the cicada, Qin Feng intended to show them, just what the phrase "he who strikes first prevails" meant.

Bai Li's spatial manipulation skill allowed her to move about undetected, like a phantom who was out for blood. After taking in the beast king energy core Qin Feng had given her recently, her abilities had now grown to the level of an F2-tier beast king, meaning her class was not too far off from the Dark-Robed Ripper.

The most important factor however, was that an unending series of battles had finally taken the toll on the Dark-Robed Ripper who now was inflicted with heavy injuries.

Bai Li stealthily materialised behind the Dark-Robed Ripper's back.

"Space Blade!"

A silver ray glimmered, with a pure black crack down its very center. Whatever that came into contact with this crack would be rendered into nothingness.

The blade which Bai Li flung landed precisely right on top of the Dark-Robed Ripper's skull.

Crack!

The head of the Dark-Robed Ripper, who was originally planning a nasty ambush against the humans, had now caved into itself and in the next moment, it came tumbling down onto the ground.

Bai Li raised her hand to catch the pitch-black ability core before disappearing into thin air again.

Right after this happened, the group of humans walked over, and avoiding the large fallen tree, they could finally make out the Dark-Robed Ripper's silhouette.

With just a few strides, Qin Feng made his way over under the pretense of checking out the situation. The truth was that he wanted to quickly absorb as much consciousness lingering in the air as possible.

It did not take too long for the effects to set in. Qin Feng could feel his own mind ringing, a sign of his consciousness growing in strength.

Ability level–F3-tier!

Chapter 100: Fengli Colony

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"F*ck, it's already dead. Don't tell me it's 'cause of a lucky shot some gunner fired?"

"No, that ain't right. Look, its throat's been slit by someone!"

"Its ability core's gone too! Whose doing is this!?"

"What a goddamn waste of effort coming here!"

All of a sudden, the group of people was getting more and more furious by the moment.

Still, no one directed their suspicion at Qin Feng. After all, he was right under their watchful eyes the entire time, up until they discovered the slain Dark-Robed Ripper.

However, the way in which this Dark-Robed Ripper died had now turned this entire situation into an unsolvable mystery!

The people here, who had prepared themselves for a brawl to the death, started walking away in disappointment and frustration.

However, this still came as great news for regular aptitude users.

After all, the Corpse Corps' two strongest leaders had now been taken down. With no other creatures able to open up new spatial passages, this place was now secure once and for all. This meant that the soldiers conscripted against their will could now return to their homes!

While the crisis was resolved, there were still the names of a handful that must be remembered.

One of these names was none other than Qin Feng himself!

Qin Feng, alongside many other F-tier aptitude users remained in combat, encircling and finishing off what remained of the Corpse Corps. On the second day, the space stabilising device dispatched from Chengyang had finally arrived.

At this moment, words alone were insufficient to describe how precious this item was.

The device was launched up into the sky to an altitude of roughly two-hundred meters. Viewing from the ground, it looked just like a satellite, only many times larger. In the future, this place would be developed into yet another human colony.

Meanwhile, on one of the slopes of Zimu Mountains, Qin Feng, with Bai Li tagging along, was meeting up with two other people.

"Mayor Zheng!" Qin Feng greeted the man before him. The mayor was a large man, standing at a height of roughly six feet and three inches that was packed full of muscle. With eyes livelier than ever, it was no wonder that his ability had reached E4-tier!

This was a man who was in his prime. However, he still had room to progress for the years to come.

The mayor, the head honcho of both the colonies of Chenyang as well as Chengbei!

"Qin Feng, I see you've become quite the hero, young man!"

Zheng Yang complimented him as he shook hands with QIn Feng.

"I'm flattered, Mayor Zheng!"

Qin Feng chuckled.

All while this was happening, Xue Xingfu who was standing beside Qin Feng, could not help but let out a great sigh.

"Old boy, you've been pretty quiet lately but who would've thought, the entire ruckus was your doing!"

In the siege against the Emperor Knight as well as the Dark-Robed Ripper, regardless of the disputes which the people had about it, the truth of the matter presented itself in the end results and that alone was indisputable.

It was Qin Feng, who struck the Dark-Robed Ripper first, inflicting heavy wounds before the main force arrived only to find it lying on the ground, its throat slit. Still, no one came out to claim the reward so there was no doubt that Qin Feng deserved most credit as a whole.

In regards to the Emperor Knight, as Qin Feng was the one who dealt the final blow, while there was inevitably going to be suspicion about him stealing the kill, the same could be said for the initial attackers from before.

Qin Feng was only giving these people a taste of their own medicine for treating him with unfairness.

The most unexpected thing to occur, was that the Mayor of Chengyang kept his word by ceding the responsibility of overlooking the newly-established colony over to Qin Feng.

This was the only reason why Zheng Yang deliberately came over today, to launch the space stabilizing device into orbit as well as to seek cooperation from Qin Feng.

"I don't think I'll have the time to manage the colony. I can, however, be the honorary person in charge, just like the honorary captain of the previous garrison troop!"

"I must admit that I feel a sense of guilt hearing you say this but I understand where you're coming from. After all, a young man shouldn't be tied down to a place like this. However, about the 'person in charge' matter, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it." Zheng Yang said.

Qin Feng smiled as he glanced at Xue Xingfu, patiently standing beside Zheng Yang.

"Big Bro Xue's one of the closest buddies of mine. Why not just let him take the job?" Qin Feng said excitedly.

"Haha, alright. Well then, you'll be shouldering the responsibility of being the man in charge of this place from today onward!"

Zheng Yang said as he nodded.

Xue Xingfu was visibly excited at the unexpected proposition. It never crossed his mind that Qin Feng would pick his name out of everyone elses', and without any hesitation at that.

"Have you got a name in mind for this colony?" Zheng Yang questioned.

"Well uh, I haven't given too much thought about that to be honest!" Qin Feng refrained from rashly proposing any names for now.

"How about calling it Beifeng colony? It carries part of your name after all, so how about that?" Xue Xingfu suggested.

Qin Feng chuckled forcibly at the proposition as he looked over at Xue Xingfu.

"Well, this isn't really the northernmost part of Chengyang is it?"

Deep down, Qin Feng sensed that Xue Xingfu's previous statement was an expression of loyalty to Zheng Yang!

With Qin Feng's influence, Xue Xingfu would soon be in charge of all matters pertaining to this new colony. However, for the moment, he was still an underling of Zheng Yang's. But if the colony were to expand, which was a very likely outcome, there was no guarantee that this status quo between their relationship could be maintained!

If the colony were to be named Beifeng, the addition of the word "bei" would be equivalent to subjecting the place under the jurisdiction of the Chengbei colony!

"What's more is that the name sounds like the bitter cold winter winds, blowing down from the North! Not a particularly good meaning!"

Xue Xingfu laughed awkwardly then remained silent.

Zheng Yang broke the silence with a hearty laugh.

"It might not be appropriate to say this but, old boy, you're still the man-in-charge, I wanna hear what's on your mind!"

Qin Feng looked over at Bai Li beside him and suddenly, a name floated conveniently into his mind.

"Let's call it, Fengli colony! "Feng" as in wind and "Li" as in the break of dawn!"

In reality, this was just the homonym of Qin Feng and Bai Li's names but with a twist in its meanings.

Was this not better?

"Fengli colony, huh? Sounds pretty good, let's call it that then!" Zheng Yang nodded in agreement.

"Oh right, Qin Feng, about your encirclement of the Corpse Corps, as well as the establishment of the new Fengli colony, we will be making a propaganda about it so I hope you don't mind that I'll be using some of the clips taken of you wiping out the zombie soldiers!"

"Oh, of course, by all means go ahead!"

"Old boy, you're going to be a hero of the masses now!" Xue Xingfu smiled at Qin Feng.

Scenarios such as this were not entirely unheard of. Everytime humans survive through an existential threat and come out victorious, they would always be making propaganda videos, dances and even films to further amplify their success.

Only through such measures could the ideology of those in the colonies be altered; they would be taught the glory of slaying ultra beasts and undead zombies.

So was Qin Feng going to be one of their propaganda pieces?

He had already become a leader of a colony after all!

Still, was such an incident enough to inspire the hearts of the masses?

Soon after, the three went into discussion of how the reward was going to be distributed.

To put it simply, Qin Feng now had the rights to develop the colony whilst Zheng Yang had the rights to investment. On the other hand, Xue Xingfu was handed the right to safeguard the colony. The final distribution of quantifiable rewards was set at thirty percent for Qin Feng, forty five percent for Zheng Yang and ten percent for Xue Xingfu while the remaining fifteen percent would remain liquid, to be further distributed to other newly established senior executives.

The proportion of these benefits would inevitably change with the development of the colony and would be rearranged on a bi-anually basis.

Qin Feng did not put too much importance on the rewards as a lot could happen within the span of six months. He could foresee so much change that these two in front of him could be left speechless the next time they met!

He did not particularly care about the existence of this colony. However, because of the butterfly effect that resulted from him taking the Hell Stone, he could not help but feel a sense of obligation toward this entire matter.

He must shoulder some responsibility on his part, somehow!

One day, he would march forth into the unknown plane and completely eradicate the bogeymen to restore peace on this land once and for all!

Chapter 101: Going to Han Town

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Alright. Since there's nothing else, then I'm going to leave now!"

Zheng Yang still had many matters to attend to, and it was not convenient to stay in the wild. The other affairs both needed Xue Xingfu and Qin Feng to handle.

Qin Feng had a lot of experience when it came to the future. He did not want to have to worry too much about the construction of the colony, but at the same time he was not planning on not showing any interest in the matter. He decided to deliberate on this with Xue Xingfu.

"Right, old boy, about our base. What's the direction of our main development in the future?" Xue Xingfu suddenly said.

For newly established colonies, the most important thing was population. What Xue Xingfu was asking was how they were going to develop the population.

Qin Feng looked at Xue Xingfu and thought about how the other party would become the topmost unscrupulous businessman of the imperial capital ten years in the future.

Qin Feng suddenly smiled. "We can just develop the economy. Let Fengli colony become the most famous business district. How do you feel about it becoming a commercialized city in the future?"

Xue Xingfu's eyes lit up. "Oh I like this!"

Qin Feng thought to himself, 'Of course you like it, you're the most famous business shark.'

"Although it's a developing business district, the benefits that are being issued cannot be changed, it should be more attractive, as for people with technical talents… I'll think of a way!"

In this doomsday-like world, the most useful skills were nothing more than three types: gun manufacturing, rune equipment manufacturing and agricultural abilities.

Having the knowledge of the next ten years in the future, Qin Feng knew about the existence of many talents.

At the thought of this, Qin Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

'Right on time. Take advantage of this moment and bring Uncle Liu back!'

Qin Feng thought for a moment, but he did not speak his mind. After discussing with Xue Xingfu, he placed the matters of the future in the other party's hands.

Then, he returned to the frontlines.

"Qin Feng, everything here's all done. The college car's going to go back!" Zhou Hao said.

Qin Feng nodded, saying, "Okay, you go back first. I'm planning to go somewhere, see you in the Spring Hunting Garden in half a month!"

"Where are you going?" Zhou Hao did not expect Qin Feng to not want to go back to school.

"Don't even think about it, it's too dangerous to bring you along. Just chill and go back to class!" Qin Feng knew what the other party was going to say the moment Zhou Hao said those words.

"Forget it, I'm not gonna be a lightbulb. I'm gone!" Zhou Hao gave Qin Feng a disdainful look and returned to his car. Following his retreating back, Qin Feng saw that Lu Meng was sitting shotgun in the car.

Qin Feng rubbed his chin, musing. "I wonder who's the one paying more attention to lovers than friends?"

In actual fact, Qin Feng had misunderstood Zhou Hao. In the backseat of Zhou Hao's car, there sat a certain Li Yaoyao.

After that group of people left, Qin Feng also started up his hovercar but proceeded in the opposite direction of the northern colony.

In the wilderness, the narrow road gradually widened and guard towers had started to appear every hundred meters. This meant that the colony was starting to get closer!

Finally, a dilapidated city wall loomed into view, but even from a distance it did not look as good as Chengbei colony. The scale only reached that of a small town.

Han Town* was an extremely ordinary looking town, only just a small, independent colony. The city district in charge was too far from it, gradually making this place its own independent world.

There was nothing to be done to help such a remote place!*

The mayor of Han Town was just an F8 tier ancient warrior, but in Han Town this was already the strongest fighting power!

Even though it was just a humble town, it was surprisingly lively.

As Qin Feng drove through the streets of Han Town, the people around looked at his car with surprise and envy. He eventually stopped in front of a store that had the words 'Zhenshan Equipment Store' written on its signboard.

The people passing by finally understood what was happening.

"This guy's not here to chase Liu Xie too, is he?"

"This one's got a bit of strength!"

"That car's so cool. It must have been bought in other colonies, we don't have those here!"

Qin Feng heard the surrounding words and smiled slightly. Liu Xue?

He had only seen her a few times, an extremely haughty woman. Shame her time came early.

Qin Feng once came to Han Town before he was reborn after fleeing from the orphanage. He had not been here for more than a month when the spatial rift creatures invaded, bringing the whole town into a desperate situation.

Liu Xue, who was an F-rank aptitude user was outside of the walls as Qin Feng and Uncle Liu were breaking through. He did not see her return, for all he knew, she must have died during that battle.

"We should get out of the car, this is the place!" Qin Feng opened the car door and those eagerly waiting had their eyes lit up as they caught sight of him.

In just a short one and a half months, Qin Feng's bone structure had rapidly changed, his body height had reached one point eight meters, smoothly clad in the high end T7 combat uniform worth 150,000 yuan. One could tell that he was of high value with just one look, making Qin Feng seem more upright and full of energy.

Seeing him, the people were full of admiration. So young and handsome. Yet, as their eyes fell upon the aptitude badge on his chest, they were stunned.

Turns out it was just a G-tier aptitude badge. Moreover, there was not even a suffix. This badge was only recently certified! It was at that moment that everyone felt that the kid in front of them overestimated his own capabilities.

Qin Feng did not care about other people's opinions. After he got out of the car, Bai Li followed suit. Even with a pair of shades and a hat, she was still very eye-catching. Not to mention the way Bai Li gracefully held Qin Feng's arms as the two walked into the store.

This time, the onlookers felt that they had misunderstood him! After all, if he really did come to pursue Liu Xue, how could he still bring another girl and be so intimate with her at that?

Qin Feng decidedly ignored the crowd of empty-headed gawkers and his eyes went to the Zhenshan equipment store. He felt as if his memory had just been revived.

The windows were clear and the store had a large storefront. There was a leaflet on the glass door which read that it was recruiting staff, with food and accommodation covered.

At the time, Qin Feng was seriously injured and had no strength. Without any other options, he rode in a car and reached Han Town with no help and nobody to rely on. This job suited him perfectly.

However, he would not be able to do it this time around.

Qin Feng walked through the door.

Liu Zhenshan was sitting at the boss's chair, realizing that a customer had entered the door, he glanced his way. At that moment he knew that a rich man had just come along!

"What would the customer like to order?" Liu Zhenshan greeted him with a smile before the staff could approach him. Qin Feng hurriedly nodded and said, "I want to reverse-refine a piece of equipment. Do you have that kind of tech?"

"Of course. I can accept a private offer here, refining is a trivial matter. I graduated as a runesmith major. My father was a senior runesmith! Pity he went so early!" Uncle Liu said with a smile.

Qin Feng smiled back, evidently Uncle Liu was bragging but he did not expose him.

"Well, this is what needs to be refined!"

Qin Feng took out the armor of the Emperor Knight!

Translator's Notes:

The name 'Han Town' when directly translated from the Chinese characters also means 'Cold Town'. Localization name could possibly be Coldton.

Translated from the term '天高皇帝远!' which is a saying that means 'It can't be helped!"

Chapter 102: Crystal Shell Beast

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The armor appeared to be severely deformed, Qin Feng had taken it out from a spatial rune ring on his finger.

With the points obtained from hunting down the Corpse Corps, Qin Feng had exchanged them for the spatial rune equipment in order to disguise Bai Li's identity as a spatial ability user.

Besides, it also seemed more convenient.

As soon as the armor of the Emperor Knight appeared, Liu Zhenshan raised both his eyebrows.

This was obviously designed by intelligent creatures from the parallel world. Without the light emitting from it generated by fusion via modern technology, it seemed simple and unadorned. The fusion material seemed to be at least beast king tier.

That meant that after refinement, a part of it would be missing but the material remaining would definitely be on the tier of a beast king.

How much was a piece of king-tier material? F-tier would be tens of millions at the least.

Although his rune equipment storage was large and had many goods, he did not have tens of millions of working capital.

"Uh, you really want me to reverse-refine this here?"

Was it not a better idea to hand it over to a big company with high-end precision technology and have it refined there? Otherwise it would be easy to lose some materials.

"Small stores have the benefit of being small stores. Do you have the skill for this or not?" Qin Feng said.

Liu Zhenshan immediately understood what he meant, it seemed that Qin Feng wanted to keep this a secret, maybe the origin of the armor was unknown. Liu Zhenshan thought he had found the answer, naturally he would not want to miss out on such a bill.

"Yes, the cost of refining is now estimated to be 8 million, and a deposit of one-tenth is required! Your shipment will be within three days!" Liu Zhenshan said.

"Good!" Qin Feng nodded and agreed, signing a contract with the other party, paid the deposit and left his communicator number before going out. However, instead of stepping into the hovercar, he entered the hotel next door.

The hotel proprietress looked to be around thirty seven years old, a very young age, but Qin Feng knew that this was Liu Xue's mother and Liu Zhenshan's wife, Qiao Yan.

The hotel and rune equipment store just now occupied a lot of space. The house above the rune equipment store was also a hotel suite. Without the strength of their background, they would not have been this wealthy.

The status of an F-tier ancient warrior in this town should not be questioned. Although Liu Xue was only twenty years old, yet with F-tier strength, it would be higher than Xue Xingfu's status in Chengbei colony!

In the hotel room, Qin Feng slipped into cultivation.

After consuming countless elixirs, Qin Feng's internal forces had reached F4-tier. Though in the last battle, two ancient warriors had their internal powers absorbed by Qin Feng, and combined with the exchanged potions, Qin Feng had built up a lot of internal energy.

It was just that his dantian was wider now, it did not matter if he did not refine for the time being.

Now that he was in a safe place, in order to prevent something from suddenly changing in the future, Qin Feng intended to condense and devour it.

"Ability, Absorb!"

The mist-like internal forces of the two ancient warriors that were absorbed in the last battle began to strengthen Qin Feng's body. The internal energy was repossessed and then integrated into Qin Feng's dantian.

F4 tier!

Although the place where the internal force occupied in the dantian was F4 tier, the number was ten times stronger than an ordinary F4 ancient warrior!

Then, Qin Feng took out two sets of bones! There was no doubt where these bones came from, one was from the Emperor Knight and the other from the Dark-Robed Ripper. The Dark-Robed Ripper had very little loot, the crystal core was taken by Qin Feng, unbeknownst to the others. In the end, everyone was fighting over the rune equipment cloak that still had some abilities despite being ruined by Qin Feng. This only left the bones for Qin Feng.

"Ability, Absorb!"

The absorption skill surged forth once more, this time, Qin Feng clearly felt his bones continue to strengthen.His bones' color began to darken into a shade of metallic black.

In fact, these two sets of bones were not like that person's palm. The volume of the palm was too small and even after strengthening, only some potential was brought out.

On the contrary, these two king-tier bones definitely felt like something more solidified. After the absorption, Qin Feng's bone could be fully strengthened.

Pop pop!

Qin Feng's body made a loud noise, if his calculation were on point, he had grown one centimeter taller and had reached about a hundred and eight one cm!

"Hoo!"

Qin Feng opened his eyes and felt that his body possessed an incredible power. The strength of his bones was probably that of beast kings. To say that Qin Feng was a humanoid beast king at this point was no mere exaggeration.

Finally, Qin Feng took out the crystal core of the Dark-Robed Ripper.

After some meditation, his consciousness had also reached F3-tier. While it was not as strong as an ancient warrior's, it was enough.

It was getting dark. Qin Feng and Xiao Bai went downstairs to the hall to eat. The lobby downstairs had a buffet. People were gathered in groups of three to five, the voices from conversations were coming one after the other.

A fringe town not so far from the frontlines should not be having so many guests!

"Damn it, who said that there is a crystal shell beast here? Putting me on a wild goose chase!"

"Not even a shadow!"

"The colonists here probably made it up so they'd drag us here for business!"

"They wouldn't dare!"

"Didn't someone say they saw one outside the walls yesterday?"

"Hmph, it's not a fake!"

Qin Feng did not need to listen in too closely to figure out what they were talking about. The crystal shell beast was a very special kind of ultra beast that could devour minerals and convert them into energy for its body. Its body was the color of transparent crystal.

The most important thing was that the beast's energy core was a very strong synthetic material. Adding it to a rune equipment could give said rune equipment the capacity for continuous strengthening capabilities.

For example, making the Verdant Emperor Saber shift from a G-tier weapon to an F-tier weapon would require adding advanced materials, but this kind of improvement was limited and would not exceed past D-tier.

By that time, would it not be better to just swap for a new sword?

What if Qin Feng were to add Star Steel to the Verdant Emperor Saber? At that time, even with refinement, a lot of Star Steel would be wasted. It would be better to add the core of the crystal shell beast then add in advanced materials. Therefore, the core of the crystal shell beast was not something that everyone found necessary but some people of high skills would buy it.

Due to this, the value of a crystal shell beast's core could be raised up to 30 million. To normal F-tier ability users, it was almost like a free piece of pie.

After all, not everyone was making the same amount of money as Qin Feng was.

"Xiao Bai, what do you want to eat? Get it yourself!" Qin Feng handed a plate over to Bai Li. Bai Li did not care much for these kinds of food, having surveyed what was around her. She pursed her lips and said, "Hubby, I want to eat chicken legs and chicken wings but they have none!"

Qin Feng chuckled, "Don't be so picky, steaks are good too! Would you like to try them?"

Before Bai Li could answer, an F-tier person nearby let out a weird sounding laugh. "Little girl, if your husband doesn't want to let you have chicken, I will. Follow me and I'll show you a big one tonight!"

After saying so, the man erupted into a wretched fit of laughter.

Qin Feng shot him a cold glare.

Chapter 103: Sky Burning Sword Art

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The man looked at Qin Feng without a single hint of fear, and he even had a goading expression on.

He was thinking that Qin Feng was only a G-tier ability user.

Qin Feng put his dinner plate into Bai Li's hands, and suddenly reached his hand out toward the F-tier aptitude user.

With a sneer on his face, the man raised his hand to stop it. "Boy, you think…" Before he could finish, the power on Qin Feng's fist suddenly surged forth and the man's arm instantly snapped with a cracking sound. The fist did not lose momentum and slammed hard into the man's cheek, taking all of his words and beating him back with them.

Plop!

Several molars were sent flying out of the mouth with that punch.

Qin Feng striked again. This time it was a slap and the man's head shifted to one side, his entire cheek having changed shape.

"Argh!"

One hit, and another row of teeth spattered out, along with foul blood, spat onto the ground.

"Your mouth stinks, it should be washed!" Qin Feng said coldly, withdrawing his hand! It was just two hits and almost all of his teeth were gone, this aptitude user was so enraged that one would understand why they sometimes referred to insanity as 'madness'.

Not only that, the aptitude user obviously did not come alone, and three or four people suddenly stood up from the table next to him to helped him up.

It was just that the beaten person was ever so furious, seeing Qin Feng turning his head to ignore the man as he took his plate from Bai Li. Then he continued to fill it up with food. At that moment, the man was unable to restrain his anger.

"I'm gunna kill you!" The man said with a garbled voice, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent and his body was rippling with inner force.

"Collapsing Blow!"

A huge wave of turbulence broke out. Even F-tier people would be seriously injured if this attack were to make contact with them.

It seemed as if Qin Feng had eyes at the back of his head, and with a step, he did not seem to be swelling with internal force, yet he negated the incoming force of the Collapsing Blow.

Bang! Qin Feng struck his foot out, connecting with the aptitude user's large belly.

After one kick, the aptitude user was sent tumbling along the aisle and he flew up to twenty meters, hitting the wall with a bang.

"Ahh!" The man grabbed at his stomach, coughing out large amounts of blood.

The three people who came to help all stopped and looked at Qin Feng with surprise. After all, they knew the strength of their companion. Collapsing Blow was an extremely strong and fast parallel training explosive move. Yet it was broken by the opponent.

Not only that, the man could not resist the opponent's kick at all so they could deduce that his internal force was stronger than their companion's.

"We didn't know who we were messing with! Uh, see you!" One of them counseled. They decided that meal time was over and went over with the other two to hoist up their companion, obviously going to go look for a doctor.

Qin Feng had lost his appetite, and the ground was covered in blood. The smell was overbearing and unpleasant.

"Forget this, we're going back to eat!"

Qin Feng left with Bai Li, and the people who witnessed all of this in the restaurant made a mental note to remember the two of them.

"Turns out, there are people like this who pretend to be weaker than they are to trick the stronger ones and wear a G-tier aptitude user badge. Do they intentionally want to get bullied?"

"Next time we see him, just hide!"

"Maybe he's looking for the crystal shell beast too!"

All of a sudden, these people began to fear the consequences of crossing Qin Feng.

He simply returned to their room with Bai Li and called room service. "One plate of chicken wings and legs. Okay, good!"

Bai Li's innocent eyes looked at Qin Feng. "Why did you fight him just now, is it wrong for me to eat chicken? Didn't you say I could eat whatever I want?" She pouted.

Qin Feng reached out to pinch the other's little mouth, so soft that others would want to take a bite. "You'll understand later!"

Although in actual fact people teasing Bai Li made Qin Feng extremely angry, remembering the scene from before only made his blood boil.

"What does that mean? Foxes get curious too!" Bai Li puffed her cheeks up angrily.

"Well, the question is too profound. Let's discuss something simpler." Qin Feng leaned over and sealed Bai Li's lips with his. It tasted really good, soft and bouncy!

He was inseparable from her. When the doorbell rang for the meal delivery, he reluctantly let go of Bai Li.

The door opened and the person pushing the dining cart was actually a pretty young woman in her twenties.

Liu Xue!

The combat uniform clad Liu Xue bore a cold expression, the F3-tier logo on her chest was the most eye catching thing.

"Sir, this is the food you ordered. By the way, you fought that other aptitude user tonight which has seriously affected the operation of my hotel and damaged many dishes. The damages will be placed on your bill. Do you have any problems with that, Sir?"

Qin Feng nodded. "None."

Money was not an issue to him, the aptitude user had his teeth punched out by him and crashed into the food. With so many witnesses, the food had to be replaced!

The dishes did not cost that much money, Qin Feng was willing to pay the price.

"That is good. Thank you for your cooperation. If you can, I hope Sir doesn't do something like this again the next time!" Liu Xue said politely, but there was a threat hidden in her tone. If Qin Feng were to start anything again, she would take action.

"So long as nobody starts anything with me!" Qin Feng said coldly, he was not one to quietly listen to threats.

Liu Xue said, dissatisfied, "If you did not take your wife out, it would not turn out like this. If she does not have combat effectiveness, put her in a safe place instead of actually bringing her out. Are things not troublesome enough for you!?"

Qin Feng was speechless.

"Miss. This is my own business."

"Hmph! Scumbag!" Liu Xue snorted, looking at Qin Feng with contempt and pushed the dining cart away!

Qin Feng was speechless, this Liu Xue was really unreasonable. Just how was he the scumbag? For the sake of Uncle Liu, Qin Feng did not want to push it.

The next day, Qin Feng got up and took Bai Li for a walk among the flowerbeds in the backyard of the hotel in the morning, at the same time holding the Verdant Emperor Saber while pondering deeply.

"Ancient warriors in the F-tier also have martial art skills. Perhaps I should practice today? Oh right, before rebirth, I also obtained Sky Burning Sword Art. I should try that!"

The requirements of Sky Burning Sword Art were also particularly high. The internal energy must be activated in a special method that activated the important acupoints in the body, showing the fire within the internal force, combining it with the sword art to activate a supernatural flame-based ability.

Qin Feng's heart jumped for a moment. "Since I have fire ability, combining that with Sky Burning Sword Art, I don't know how strong the effect will be!"

With that, Qin Feng called on his internal force and poured out the fire runes. In an instant, the Verdant Emperor Saber was ignited.

"Burning Sword Glare!" The most basic technique of the art exhibited by Qin Feng was extremely powerful.

"Once more! Lets make some fireworks!"

A ray of burning light like a semi-circle flared up, refracting light from the blade like a blooming flower of fire. It really was fireworks.

Report chapter

Qin Feng wanted to keep training but his communicator started making beeping noises.

[Important announcement, a special ultra beast has appeared approximately 923 meters from your current location. Please take note! Please take note!]

Qin Feng looked at the prompt on his communicator and he momentarily froze.

It was here! The so-called special ultra beast was the crystal shell beast.

The beast had eaten some ores and passed by Han Town, the parties hunting the creature down would not give it the time to continue feeding. Moreover, the crystal shell beast was not just a beast capable of mining, it was an insectoid.

A flying insectoid.

Without the chance of finding more food, the largest source of energy in Han Town would be the spatial stabilizing device!

This would be how the tragedy of Han Town began. The crystal shell beast would eat the spatial stabilizing device, causing a rift to appear and plunging the entire town into chaos.

"If the crystal shell beast were immobilized, then Han Town wouldn't fall like it did in the past. If so, Uncle Liu probably wouldn't come with me this time around!" Qin Feng thought to himself.

However, after giving it another thought, Qin Feng decided that he would bring down the crystal shell beast.

"Even if it were for the crystal shell beast alone, the time spent coming here wouldn't be wasted. I can always come back again for Uncle Liu when I become stronger in the future. In this doomsday era, who would want to be drifters anyway? Han Town is Uncle Liu's home after all!"

With that finalized thought, Qin Feng had made up his mind. "Let's go. Let's go and see how mystical this crystal shell beast is!"

Qin Feng grabbed Bai Li, leaping over some houses and raced through the streets, rushing toward the location of the crystal shell beast.

As he closed the distance, more aptitude users began to appear. These people naturally heard the news and wanted to catch the crystal shell beast for themselves!

"Haha! I've traveled so far only to find it so easily. I didn't expect the beast to appear in town!

"This will be a pit of regret in the guts of those that went out to search for it!"

"By the time they get back, the crystal shell beast would be ours!"

"Lads, watch out for others!"

"Whoever wants to steal this from us, take them down!"

In the surrounding area, there were teams of three to five on guard against each other, their eyes filled with hostile intent. Field competition was a common thing!

Of course, those who had been running to the central square of the town found that the prompt on their communicators was showing that the crystal shell beast was about two hundred meters away from them. This made them very confused.

At this time, the F-rank aptitude users en-site numbered to more than fifty! Among them included Liu Zhengshan's daughter, Liu Xue.

"Where's the beast?" Everyone was puzzled. Only Qin Feng suddenly opened up the hidden gliding wings on his back.

Whoosh!

"Up!" Qin Feng took a step and suddenly jumped up to the height of three stories high. The gliding wings jittered as the energy system was activated, and the wind runes sent Qin Feng rocketing through the sky.

HIs actions naturally drew the attention of the people nearby, at the same time, they seemed to have realized something.

"In the sky!"

At this time, there were people within the gigantic spatial stabilizing device, they had received a prompt about the crystal shell beast that was getting closer.

Crink crink!

These people heard a noise and an alarm sounded throughout the entire spatial stabilizing device.

[The exterior of the spatial stabilizing device has been damaged, please repair it as soon as possible!]

Under the sunlight, the basin sized crystal shell beast was like a large diamond, reflecting a kaleidoscopic light.

As soon as Qin Feng flew closer to the spatial stabilizing device, he found the location of the beast.

The spatial stabilizing device was huge. It had a disc in the center that was fifty meters long. There were three channels connected to the disc, and they extended in three directions from the disc. The spatial stabilizing device was like a fan that had been fit above the entire Han Town.

And now, the crystal shell beast was on one of the fan wings, nibbling at the shell. It was located directly where the energy device was stored.

"Get off!"

Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber pierced toward the crystal shell beast's direction. The crystal shell beast sensed impending danger and immediately opened up its wings to evade Qin Feng's attack.

At where it once was, translucent energy seeped out of a large hole. Even on the outside, Qin Feng could hear the alarm coming from within.

"Quickly! Empty the energy fluid for now so we can repair the external shell!"

"Open the top hatch!"

"Hurry! The spatial device isn't stable!"

The crystal shell beast circled the spatial stabilizing device and Qin Feng stood by the hole it made, refusing to leave.

At this time, a maintenance personnel had come out from the inside with tools in his hands. After seeing Qin Feng, he was a bit surprised.

"Who are you?"

"Do we even have time for this? Hurry up and fix the stabilizer!" Qin Feng barked.

Buzz! The crystal shell beast suddenly swooped down. It was indeed a special kind of ultra beast, while it did not have high strength it was high in value and also an F-tier beast. It still had some attack capabilities.

The outward appearance of the crystal shell beast resembled that of a beetle, a scarab to be precise. Its wings buzzed quietly and relentlessly. As the beast was transparent, it could assimilate other colors around it to hide its trace. That was how it got to the spatial stabilizing device without being detected when it passed through the air defense system.

In midair, the crystal shell beast disappeared instantly and when it appeared again it was already behind the maintenance staff who was holding a tool!

Qin Feng reached his opponent's side in a flash, swinging his Verdant Emperor Saber.

"Ahh!" The worker did not expect Qin Feng to be so fast, and he started to move forward, believing that he was about to be killed and tried to evade the attack, slipping and flopping onto the surface. Not only that, the tool fell off the spatial stabilizing device.

Clang!

Qin Feng's saber and the beast's wings collided with one another.

The wings of the crystal shell beast were as hard as steel. Although the Verdant Emperor Saber was made out of G-tier material, it was not enough to cut through its wings!

Of course, this time he blocked the beast from beheading the worker! When the worker saw this, he had yet to realize that this person had come to help. The real culprit behind the damage to the spatial stabilizing device was the crystal shell beast!

"Tools. The tools! I need to go get them!" The man hurriedly said and started to crawl away.

At this time, two people with gliding wings were flying up. Upon spotting the crystal shell beast, they hollered excitedly.

Rattatatat!

One of them was obviously a long-ranged gunner. When he saw the crystal shell beast, he fired immediately.

Qin Feng's expression turned sour.

A volley of bullets flew out, spitting sparks of flame and ignited the energy fluid instantly! The energy fluid was used to supply the spatial stabilizing device. Qin Feng's floating tank also used the same fluid.

It was extremely flammable.

Qin Feng kicked off and flew away, no longer caring about the crystal shell beast or the people after it.

"Retarded bunch!" Qin Feng had other viciously colorful choice words to use on those people at that time.

Boom!

Hundred meters up, there was a huge explosion! The energy tank of the spatial stabilizing device had exploded.

This was not like the small spark that exploded randomly in Chengbei colony. The entire huge spatial stabilizing device in the sky exploded into two sections, split apart right down the middle.

One of the blasted out fan wings of the spatial stabilizing device began to tilt, the circuits crackled and there were fewer and fewer connected parts.

"Run!"

The people below watched as the large spatial stabilizing wing fell and shouted out in unison.

Those within the buildings below did not expect a disaster like this to occur and it was too late to avoid it.

Even Qin Feng could not do anything at this point.

Boom!

The fan wing of the spatial stabilizing device crashed into a tall building, instantly causing it to crumble and fall.

Not only that, the spatial stabilizing device with two fan wings left slowly began to tilt, and the suspension device could no longer carry such a heavy object. Besides that, the device had just lost one of its corners and could no longer be held intact.

The rate of descent was getting faster and faster, people had absolutely no time to stop it.

"Xiao Bai, lets go!" Qin Feng shouted.

Bai Li appeared next to Qin Feng instantly and the two disappeared together. Amidst the chaos, nobody noticed Qin Feng.

Another explosion ruptured in the air and the huge stabilizing device crashed downward toward the central square.

The spatial stabilizing device was definitely the most sophisticated instrument and it was also of great value. However, this did not mean that it had sturdy defenses. Quite the contrary, in order to conserve energy, the device itself had almost no defense. After all, the town had a spatial alarm and a protective outer layer, but if there were an aerial threat, severe damage would be inevitable.

Nobody expected Han Town to be infiltrated by a crystal shell beast with a high stealth ability, and that the spatial stabilizing device would be destroyed by a brainless gunner.

Qin Feng did not know if the disaster in his previous life was caused by this, but he would have immediately killed the gunner if he had known something like this would happen.

The destruction of the spatial stabilizing device was an unexpected disaster.

Many were still at a loss, but the collapsing tower caused by the explosion caused the scene to be in total chaos.

The town's garrison troop and patrols appeared one after another. Not only that, a violent and most definitely angry figure had appeared.

It was the strongest person in Han Town, Mayor Shi Tianhai*.

"Who! Who did this?!"

Shi Tianhai could not believe it all. The spatial stabilizing device!

It was the foundation of the town!

He let out a cry of rage that was cut short as a rift opened up in place of the spatial stabilizing device. The rift seemed to have torn the sky apart, ripping straight through the sky toward the ground with a height of one hundred meters and a width of ten meters.

[Beep beep…]

Without needing to look at it, Qin Feng's communicator vibrated violently. Not only that, the whole of Han Town had received the news.

In that moment, a large swarm of monsters flooded out. Qin Feng, who was closer, turned pale at the sight. This was like what he saw in his past life, and it brought back those deep fears of such imagery.

The first wave of assault were fast-moving blood-thirsty beetles. The battering buzz of wings continuously sounded out, and they pounced upon those that were still running around and began their feeding frenzy.

It was an F-tier insectoid beast. Not only that, it was an F5-tier insectoid beast and they came in groups!

The F-tier aptitude users in the central square were the first ones to bear the assault.

"Open fire! Suppression fire! Don't let them come any closer, retreat!" Someone shouted among the crowd.

A gunner was quickly caught up by the attacks, he wildly fired his submachine gun. However, the speed of these blood-thirsty beetles were too fast. Kill one and another one would replace it.

Soon, the gunner was knocked to the ground by a blood-thirsty beetle, and at the next moment, three beetles were pressed against each other and a one-meter-long tube protruded from the beetle's mouth into the body of the gunner.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The gunner screamed, but the blood in his body was quickly sucked away and he no longer had the strength to struggle.

Such a scene was happening everywhere.

Qin Feng's eyes swept around and he saw Liu Xue's figure. He could not prevent Han Town from getting zerged by insectoids, so naturally he had to stand out to help Liu Xue.

At this time, Liu Xue was fighting while retreating. There were two blood-thirsty beetles on her tail and were refusing to be shaken loose. In order to not be injured, Liu Xue could not just make a desperate run for it.

It was at that moment when a huge fireball roared out from the side, centering on the blood-thristy beetles.

Boom!

The blood-thristy beetles were immediately flung away, bursting into flames and landing on the ground, no longer moving.

Liu Xue looked in surprise at the direction from where the flames came. She knew that someone had used the fire to help her, it was just that she did not expect that someone to be Qin Feng out of all people.

Qin Feng took a few steps toward the remaining blood-thristy beetle, brandishing the Verdant Emperor Saber.

"Burning Sword Glare!"

Fire runes were wrapped around the Verdant Emperor Saber, suddenly adding a full meter to it. It looked like it had doubled in size. The flames of the blade licked at the blood-thristy beetle and sliced it in half in a flash!

There was no blood coming from the wound, but instead a meaty fragrance.

"Thank you!" Liu Xue quickly said.

"No time for thank yous, go back quickly. The situation doesn't look good!" Qin Feng hurriedly said.

"Right!" Liu Xue gave a hard, affirmative nod. This time, other than the huge rift that had opened up in the center of town, there were smaller rifts opening up all over the place. Liu Xue would naturally be anxious.

Who knew what was going on right now?

Qin Feng and Liu Xue continued their retreat and at this time, Liu Xue looked at Bai Li in surprise. She thought that Bai Li was just an ordinary person, but the other party was not a slouch in terms of speed and seemed to be able to keep up with relative ease, with not a trace of panic on her.

Now, even Mayor Shi Tianhai had run away without a trace.

When the crack had appeared, the surroundings were filled with a chaotic crowd of fleeing civilians. Cars crowded the main road and had been blocked by a car accident. Nobody was getting out.

"Ahh!" Someone cried out, having been bitten on the leg by a black steel bug.

"Save me, please, save me!" He was asking for help from those around him, and after seeing Qin Feng and Liu Xue, he immediately yelled.

"Captain Liu! Captain Liu, save me!"

As the captain of one of Han Town's patrol branches and a young, powerful woman with beautiful looks, everyone in town recognized her.

Liu Xue hesitated for a moment, but stopped, taking out her energy gun and blasted the man's foot.

The black steel bug loosened its mandibles and the man was released. His foot looked like it was almost bitten off and was desperate for a while. Then he saw Captain Liu and he felt that there was still hope. He quickly grabbed onto Liu Xue's heel.

"Captain Liu, you can't leave me behind. It's too dangerous here, and we can't leave the town. Let's find shelter and wait for rescue!"

Translator's note: Mayor Shi Tianhai's name in Chinese characters '石天海' directly translates to mean 'Rock Sky Sea'. An undoubtedly ambitious and badass name.

Chapter 106: An Abundance of Retards

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Due to the risk of invasion from the spatial rift, there was a combination of underground shelters, reinforced car parks and military-grade, large-scale underground bunkers beneath every city in order to ensure that people could take refuge when all hell broke loose.

And it was during such a situation that Liu Xue was somehow bogged down by indecisiveness!

This happened as a group of people stumbled upon Liu Xue and started gathering around her.

"Those in the patrol team, squad leader Liu's over here!"

"Quick, go over to the leader's side, we'll be under her protection!"

In mere moments, a crowd had materialised around Liu Xue!

As if the timing could not be any worse, a pissed off group of blade mantises were crawling quickly toward the cluster of human beings. Some let out blood-curdling screams at the sight of the monsters, more courageous ones chose to run for it and the rest, whose legs went limp as the predators approached, shrunk behind Liu Xue's frame. There was even someone who was pushing Liu Xue forward, as if presenting her as a sacrifice into the gaping jaws of the blade mantises.

However, it quickly became apparent that these G3-tier blade mantises were not that powerful of a foe. With a few swift strikes from Liu Xue, they went down like the bugs they were and the mass of people were protected. However, this only caused the group of people surrounding her to grow ever larger.

It seemed that this group of people intended to get Liu Xue to escort them to the underground shelter at the nearby supermarket.

Seeing the current situation Liu Xue was in, Qin Feng finally understood how she died in the previous life!

"Liu Xue, think about your parents. They're both regular civilians. If you choose to stay here at this time, who's gonna take care of them in the days to come?" Qin Feng asked bluntly.

A look of unease flashed across Liu Xue's face though it was obvious that Qin Feng's words precisely mirrored her worries.

How could she leave her defenseless parents behind? It was impossible.

At the same time, it was these people that clung on stubbornly to Liu Xue, refusing to let her go.

"Are you even human? How can one be so selfish? Why on earth would you let the squad leader go?"

"Yeah, in such a crisis, letting her go would put our lives on the line!"

"I'm pretty damn sure that Liu Zhenshan's place has got an underground shelter. There's still gonna be plenty of time left for her and her parents after these bugs are dealt with first!"

A commotion spread like wildfire amongst the people.

Qin Feng sneered viciously and silenced the crowd by delivering a powerful kick to the side of a car, scaring the wits out of the protesters.

"Not one more word from any of your mouths!"

Qin Feng roared coldly.

The power from his mere threat was enough to cause dizziness among some in the crowd.

"If you want to live, stop spewing nonsense. On your feet and keep up with me. Whoever that dares to give stray orders will be struck down without mercy with this gun in my hand!"

Qin Feng produced an energy blaster and pointed it in the general direction of the crowd.

Seeing the gun alone was more than enough to stun the masses. However, some who noticed the G-tier aptitude user badge pinned on Qin Feng's chest started giving disdainful looks. It was apparent that they were not taking Qin Feng seriously.

"Who even are you? Ya think ya can protect us? Well, aren't you a cocky one?"

"Damn right! We were talking to our squad leader. How dare you butt into our discussion!"

"Squad leader Liu, is he your underling? Isn't he planning to abandon us? Just who does he think he is…"

As Han Town was a relatively small place, some of these people literally watched over Liu Xue as she was growing up, hence explaining why they rightfully felt that they deserved her protection. After all was said and done, these people felt a lingering fear in their hearts, fear that Liu Xue would run off. This was why they clustered around her, clinging onto her stubbornly, refusing to let her go.

Qin Feng's expression darkened and he said out loud in a cynical tone, "Liu Xue, it matters little to me whether or not you want to stay or if you want to leave with me. I still have a rune equipment waiting for me back at uncle Liu's place so I will have to go back there regardless. If that were not the case, I wouldn't have saved you back then. If you feel obligated to stay and protect these people, then by all means go ahead. In fact, I'll notify your father of your death in advance when I meet him!"

Liu Xue was shaken to the core by Qin Feng's words.

From the time Liu Xue spent with Qin Feng, she already understood how pivotal his role was for their survival. If the group were left with her alone to fend against the enemy, there was no doubt that their days would be numbered. Even if one could successfully escape, the chance to live and see another day was miniscule. Their lifeline laid within Qin Feng.

With this in mind, Liu Xue brushed off her indecisiveness and replied quickly, "Qin Feng, I'll listen to what you have to say. Those who still treasure their lives, follow us! My place isn't too far away! It's only three blocks down so get your act together!"

"This…"

The people started panicking at the sudden change in plans. Their worries, however, were briefly interrupted by the rumbling ground. Soon after, the cause of this ruckus introduced itself as a massive snail making its way around the corner of the street.

That thing was at least four to five meters tall, reaching almost two stories in height. Right in front of its shell appeared two heads, oozing out and shrinking back in at an alarming frequency. It was evidently able to absorb humans into its gut effortlessly given its size.

It did not take a university graduate to recognise the beast that was making its way toward them, for illustrations of it were widely taught during high school.

"Steel-back Snail!"

"A double-headed mutant at that! It's a beast general!"

In the blink of an eye, chaos erupted among the masses.

Everyone present understood the ferocity of beast generals that were able to hold off against ten combatants at any given time. No matter how skilled Liu Xue was, resisting, let alone defeating this double-headed snail was practically impossible.

"Screw this! Run for it!"

The group ran like madmen away from the incoming attack.

Run as they might but it was all futile. Despite it being a snail, the beast was able to crawl at an alarming speed, moving significantly faster than your average human being.

The surface beneath its foot seemed to have turned into a wave of sorts, enabling it to glide across the ground swiftly like a hovercraft.

These people still had to avoid the cars that formed obstacles in their escape path. This however, posed little hindrance to the double-headed Steel-back Snail as it crushed anything and everything in its path.

The double-headed steel-back snail outstretched one of its heads, and with its maw wide open, gobbled down one of the fleeing men into its gut.

"Arghh!"

The man let out a helpless wail but was quickly silenced as he disappeared into the abyss that was its gut.

"Bastard!"

Liu Xue raged as she struck the enemy with her palm.

"Subzero Slammer!"

While the force from her palms impacted like a raging river, it somehow slipped off from the steel-back snail's body and the beast shrugged off the attack unfazed.

The enemy's body was coated in a slippery layer of mucus. Liu Xue's attack merely scratched the itch of the beast.

From Qin Feng's point of view, Liu Xue's impulsive attack was basically presenting her as takeout dinner for the snail. Seeing how little regard she had for her own life, he was at a loss for words.

"Han Town truly is blessed with an abundance of retards!"

Qing Feng yelled out before rushing forward into the fray. As soon as he grabbed hold of Liu Xue's clothes, he pulled back with all the strength he could conjure up.

His immense strength sent Liu Xue flying back into the background. A mere millisecond later, a meter-wide jaw snapped shut above where she once stood. If not for Qin Feng, her head would have been turned into snail feed in an instant.

Despite seeing what would be its meal escape, the double-headed steel-back snail paid no heed to Liu Xue and instead contorted its grotesque, soft body and shifted its fury onto Qin Feng instead.

Qin Feng smiled wryly and raised his arm above his head, revealing a shining sword.

"Flaming-tree silver blossom!"

In an instant, a fan-shaped jet of flame shot forth from Qin Feng. In the midst of the flames, the Verdant Emperor Saber shimmered in silver, just like a green flower within a firestorm.

Booom!

With a single attack, the tables had turned. The situation in which Liu Xue seemed so powerless against the enemy had now shifted in humanity's favour as both skulls of the steel-back snail plopped onto the ground.

Thud! Thud!

Two heavy skulls rolled across the ground, leaving a trail of transparent mucus-like substance. It was the blood of the snail.

Once again, the Verdant Emperor Saber shone in the light before it swung down, slicing the tip of the enemy's skull off cleanly. Not long after, two goose egg-sized azure crystals appeared in Qin Feng's hands.

These were the enemy's ability cores.

Chapter 107: Not All Efforts Were Fruitless After All

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Why aren't you moving? Are you planning to stay there forever?"

Qin Feng snapped coldly. Still, he could not get past Liu Xue's mannerisms and how she dealt with things.

How hesitant and irresolute!

"Ah! Right, right!"

Liu Xue hastened to keep up with Qin Feng's pace. It was at this moment that her admiration and respect for Qin Feng had solidified.

It was not just that. The civilians who were in hiding moments ago all came running out and trailed behind Qin Feng.

With Qin Feng taking point, all was right with the world.

These insectoids did not pose too much of a threat to the group. Qin Feng slashed through them effortlessly while leading the way forward until they reached Liu Zhenshan's equipment store.

The store was currently in tatters, with glass shards littering the ground. Within the store itself were three blade mantises that somehow snuck their way in, unwelcomed of course.

Lying motionless on the ground, were two corpses. Liu Xue felt as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest and thrown off a cliff, down into a bottomless abyss.

Even before Qin Feng could make his move, Liu Xue rushed forward and killed off those mantises with a few strikes from her palms.

The good news was that neither of these two corpses belonged to Liu Zhenshan. Instead, one seemed to be Liu Zhenshan's storekeeper while the other was presumably a customer, a G-tier aptitude user at that.

It was a shame, his fate dictated that he would lie here forever!

"Go to the basement first!" Qin Feng ordered.

"Right!" Liu Xue marched to the front and took over in leading the way even though Qin Feng had complete knowledge about the building's layout. While he followed the girl closely, the people behind him had other ideas in mind. Their eyes lit up at the sight of the abandoned store and picked up one or two pieces of loot as they went along their way.

These combat equipment did a pretty good job at resisting attacks from ultra beasts. Though, in normal times, they were worth at least ten thousand yuan a piece and could reach up to a hundred thousand for a really good set, hence explaining why nobody bought these items.

Qin Feng paid no heed to the greedy bunch. Following Liu Xue, they arrived at an underground parking space where a secret door was found.

At that moment, the door seemed to have been locked from the inside. Liu Xue rapped her knuckles loudly on the door.

"Dad, mom, are you still inside?"

"Liu Xue, little Xue's back!" Qiao Yan exclaimed in a delighted tone. Soon after, the heavy and impenetrable steel door groaned open, revealing the scene inside.

Apart from Qiao Yan and Liu Zhenshan, there were three other women and a man, all of whom were employees of the store. They too ran out to check out the commotion.

The locked space was dimly lit but the thick, reinforced steel door gave everyone a sense of security, something hard to come by these days. Even before Qiao Yan could celebrate her daughter's return, the civilians from the other side swarmed into the safe space like rats down their burrow.

Although the basement was a mandatory facility, it was quite obvious that it was not designed for public use. The total floor space available was a mere hundred square meters and with the addition of twenty-odd people, the place became packed to the brim in the blink of an eye.

"Quick, shut that door up!" Someone from the group urged.

Qin Feng ignored them.

"Uncle Liu, where'd you place the equipment that I wanted refined?"

Back then, Qin Feng was confident that he could have stopped the tragedy from occurring and so he did not take with him the item in question. However, things rarely went according to plan as he had learnt later on. Still, he did not wish to let a beast-king-tier item slip out of his grasp that easily.

Liu Zhenshan appeared stunned, followed by his expression changing for the worse.

"Bad news, it's still inside the decomposition furnace!" Liu Zhenshan replied.

Qin Feng's brows furrowed before he continued, "It's alright Uncle, we'll retrieve it later on. Be rest assured, as long as I'm here, I will do my best to guarantee your safety. What's more is that the situation outside has taken a turn for the worse. We'll need food supplies, and I'm afraid the rations here are not enough to support a group of this size!"

Liu Zhenshan's expression turned dead serious upon hearing Qin Feng's words. His teeth remained tightly clenched before decisively saying, "Alright, I'll go with you!"

"Honey! I beg of you, don't go out there!" Qiao Yan immediately blocked Liu Zhenshan's path and turned toward Qin Feng with teary eyes.

"Young man, how much money do you need? I'm willing to pay whatever price you state but please, don't let my husband go out there!"

"Ma'am, please calm down. I assure you that nothing will happen to Uncle Liu!"

Liu Xue came in and patted her mother on the back as if to give her more assurance. "Mom, what Qin Feng said is correct. Don't worry too much, it's the least you could do to maintain our morale. He's a seasoned veteran and without him, we would not have made it back here alive. Now it's our turn to wait here patiently for their return, alright?"

Liu Zhenshan continued with a beaming expression, "A businessman must be a man of his words! It's just a journey to a place a few steps away and the material we're retrieving is worth up to a billion yuan! I cannot afford to lose this deal so you best stay out of my way!"

With these words, Qiao Yan lost the argument. She had no choice but to be ushered back into the basement by Liu Xue.

"Xiao Li, you stay here too, I'll leave this place under your care now!"

Qin Feng left Xiao Bai inside the safety of the basement. Knowing that Qin Feng was not going to wander too far off, it nodded its head while flexing its paw back and forth, a gesture of waving goodbye.

"If there are any hiccups, ring me up!"

Qin Feng smiled and replied, "Of course! Relax, I'll call you when the need arises!"

In actuality, the distance between the two was not going to be too far apart. Both of them could still communicate telepathically but owing to Bai Li's curiosity toward anything novel, even using the communicator came as something extremely fun.

Without any more words exchanged, the steel door clamped shut. And thus, the duo that was Qin Feng and Liu Zhenshan marched forward toward their destination.

"Let's go! The smelting facility's right behind the backyard. We'll go up there from this position!"

Liu Zhenshan led the way and Qin Feng followed behind cautiously. Qin Feng worked here for half a month before his rebirth so it was not surprising that he already knew the layout of the land here.

Soon, they went into the elevator of the car park which brought them up onto the surface.

The landscape above ground was in a complete mess. Though, this area did not seem to have been ravaged by the insectoids. Evidently the spread of insectoids was guided by the main trunk road so places away from it were relatively unaffected.

However, when Qin Feng arrived at the doorway of the smelting facility, his expression darkened.

The smelting facility was an essential spot. Liu Zhenshan had always been here, forging rune equipment, so no one was allowed to get too close. The items stored here, regardless of whether it was material made from ultra beasts or automated machinery, were all of extremely high value. It followed that the defense system built in place was extremely robust.

So how was it possible that there was a massive half-meter-wide hole on the reinforced, anti-looting door?

The anti-looting door was now like an optical illusion to Qin Feng. Taking aim, his foot smashed against the area right around where the door handle was, kicking the entire door frame down. The scene within was enough to make Qin Feng gouge out his own eyes.

All types of materials littered the floor but evidently, the racks which once held the most prized ones were now empty shells.

Clinging onto the side of the massive smelting furnace, was a crystal-like see-through beetle the size of a gallon bucket.

"Crystal armor beast!"

Liu Zhenshan yelled out in astonishment.

Who would have thought that this creature would appear here out of all places.

On second thought, it should not have been too surprising. The crystal armor beast was interrupted by human activity when it had just started feeding on energy fluids. However, since the crisis hit, nobody cared about where the grubby creature went.

And for now, within the entire Han Town, was there an even better material than what Liu Zhenshan originally had in store?

It should be kept in mind that the material within the smelting furnace that Liu Zhenshan was forging, was an F-tier beast king item.

The reason why the crystal armor beast snuck its way here was no coincidence.

While the forging process within the furnace was already completed, it was still radiating an immense amount of heat. The beetle was left with no other choice but to wait it out, until the furnace cooled down before chomping its way in to obtain the prize within.

However, it never crossed the armor beast's mind that the pesky humans who once interrupted its feeding process, would turn up here again.

"Nice, this fella fell into our laps willingly!" A smile cracked across Qin Feng's face and without hesitation, a beam of darkness enveloped the crystal armor beast's body.

Dark Shroud.

The beast lost all its senses for a moment.

Qin Feng once again unleashed his ability.

"Dark ray!"

"Hellfire!"

Zoom! Zoom!

A series of explosions followed. The crystal armor beast simply could not withstand Qin Feng's attacks which had been blessed and enhanced by the dark stone. A few seconds later, it collapsed lifelessly onto the ground. It had been weakened to such a degree that it failed to dodge the incoming hellfire attack, which instantly carbonised its brain, killing it right then and there.

The culprit that caused the destruction of Han Town had now been taken out by Qin Feng's own hands.

Chapter 108: Xiao Bai takes action!

"Wha-", struggling to produce any coherent form of speech, Liu Zhenshan was shocked to the very core after witnessing Qin Feng unveil his true strength.

Back then, Qin Feng set the bar for himself as an F-tier ancient warrior after being provoked by others. As for the moment though, it seemed that he had long surpassed what they had originally labelled him as.

Qin Feng, in all aspects, was practically an ability user!

There was however, one distinct thing that caught Liu Zhenshan's eye and he just could not wrap his head around it. How and why was the hue produced by Qin Feng's ability pure black in color?

Still, remembering the Hellfire attack released by Qin Feng in the second half of his attack, Liu Zhenshan concluded that somewhere along the way, some mutations must have occurred among the fire runic ability users so he stopped giving it more thought.

He busily shuffled over and started operating the smelting furnace again, switching on the rapid cooling process. As icy cold water rushed down the sides of the furnace, so did the interior temperature of the furnace drop. It was not too long before the hatch of the furnace popped open, revealing the prized material floating within.

"Old pal, this is it!" Liu Zhenshan passed the item over to Qin Feng. The result of the decomposition process produced three distinct types of energies, compressed into a physical form. One of them was compressed into a block around the size of three clay bricks but weighed over a hundred kilograms!

"This is really good stuff! It must be a mineral from an alternate dimension. We named it the sunken black stone. It's an extremely robust material, offering good resistance against attacks for its user. Prime stuff to make shields out of, but I'll admit that it'd be pretty interesting to make weapons with it. You know what they say, offense is the best form of defense and I don't think weapons made from it will wear out anytime soon, haha!"

Agreeing with the old man, Qin Feng nodded.

"Uncle Liu, I've transferred the funds over to you. Though, I wonder how much longer it'll take if I let you upgrade this runic equipment right here?" Qin Feng questioned.

"Right now, huh?" Liu Zhenshan did not expect that Qin Feng was still ruminating on upgrading his equipment. The insectoids were breeding like crazy out there right now so was it not better to leave the place as soon as possible?

Qin Feng nodded and replied, "Uncle Liu, keep in mind that the store is located right at the heart of the city. While the insectoids have now infested the entire place, their presence is still unevenly distributed. If we evacuate right now, the chances of a successful escape is high but so is death!"

Liu Zhenshan was visibly confused by Qin Feng's statement.

Qin Feng's statement was true. During the initial stage, when the insectoids came crawling out from the spatial rift, their innate instinct was to hunt and feed. This stage was the most chaotic and the worst time for one to evacuate the city. In one moment, you could evade a group of slow-crawling insectoids but end up in the jaws of a bloodthirsty broodmother in the next instant. Stories of how people met their demise in a similar fashion were commonly passed on among the survivors.

Thus, the chances of dying were far from being out of the equation yet.

However, as the insectoids consolidate their occupation of this area, only the high-tier beasts would remain as the weaklings slowly die out. Different species would obviously live in different sectors of the city as they too, were territorial in nature. The chances of surviving the evacuation at this stage were the highest so long as they could maneuver between the insectoids' territories undetected.

This was common knowledge taught in textbooks in his past life.

Still, only a handful from the past lived to tell tales of such endeavours.

Qin Feng continued, "Also, as long as Han Town remains under enemy control, the spatial rift will continue expanding. Soon, even those from Fu City will move over and encircle us. It's wiser to stay put and wait it out. At least it's a better plan than to make a blind escape with no immediate plans at hand. We now have more than twenty people in that basement. Instead of making camp in that cramped space, we can have more breathing room if we hole up in an abandoned hotel. We'll last longer that way too. For us to be able to do that though, my weapons must be lethal enough to protect the group. Since we already have the core of the crystal armor beast, let's upgrade the weapon right now!"

The most important reason for Qin Feng to come to this decision however, was that considering Liu Xue's personality, it was very unlikely that she was willing to evacuate the place by herself. Instead, she would insist on dragging along with her the deadweight that was twenty-odd people or she would die trying.

If that were the case, only God knows what would happen to such a large crowd.

He had seen this scenario repeat before his very eyes too many times for him to quantify. These comrades that stood shoulder-to-shoulder with you would send you toward death's embrace if their own lives were threatened.

Qin Feng refused to let harm be done toward Uncle Liu under his watch.

Liu Zhenshan was obviously moved by what Qin Feng had to say!

"You're right. Let's do it. After all, forging a weapon shouldn't take too much time. Three to five hours is what I need!"

Still, for Liu Zhenshan to make such a risky decision, Qin Feng's combat ability played a crucial role in the process. His strength was unrivalled, and was much stronger than Liu Xue. With such a strong ally by his side, nothing was to be feared.

In fact, his worst fear was Qin Feng running off by himself!

Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Liu Zhenshan's words. He said, "I also have a few other materials which need to be broken down. Give me a moment, I'll have my girlfriend deliver them to us!"

Qin Feng switched on the communicator and requested for Bai Li to deliver the goods over. The "goods" in question, was the spear of the Emperor Knight.

Receiving Qin Feng's orders, Bai Li soon emerged from the underground shelter.

While she did not know the exact route to get to Qin Feng's position, she could sense his presence and roughly make out which direction she had to take. Without using spatial manipulation, she effortlessly followed the path from the underground car park and soon arrived above ground.

The moment she stepped foot outside, a group of humans could be seen fleeing from insectoids, retreating back into the hotel.

"Man, f*ck these bugs!"

"Which motherf*cker was it that shattered the space stabilising device?!"

"We're totally screwed so what's the point of saying all that?"

"No, these critters are having a feeding frenzy outside. Let 'em stuff their bellies first before we go out! We gotta find a place to barricade ourselves in. Say, this hotel's a pretty sweet spot!"

"Just hurry up, find something to block the windows and doors! Lock this place down!"

These were all F-tier aptitude users with a lifetime of experience in survival. They were lightning fast in finding stuff to blockade entry points into the building and soon, the entire place turned into a makeshift fortress.

While they were running about setting up defenses, Bai Li cheekily appeared in front of these ragtag defenders.

However, Bai Li ignored these people and so did they in regards to her appearance, with the exception of a single member from the group who noticed her presence immediately.

That person was the ancient warrior whose entire row of teeth were knocked out by two blows from Qin Feng's fists a few days ago.

His eyes nearly popped out of its sockets as she entered into his vision.

"Hey, ain't that the kid's sweetheart?" The man walked over in long strides, blocking Bai Li from proceeding any further.

Bai Li's brows furrowed, flashing a look of disgust at the man.

"Haha, little missy, since your husband's out there feedin' the bugs, how 'bout you follow me? Service me well and I'll protect ya. How does that sound? Now, you're more than entitled to reject my generous proposition but do know that I could just toss ya out and turn ya into juicy bug-feed."

Bai Li rolled her eyes and imitated Qin Feng's signature cynical laugh.

"I'll have you know that my husband's in the backyard. I don't know what you're talking about, bug-feed and all. How laughable."

A jolt ran down the man's spine, if he had one, upon realising that Qin Feng was still alive.

Still, Bai Li's attitude was more than this ancient warrior could handle. In the next moment, he bellowed with rage, "Who cares if he's in the backyard. I'll f*ck you right here and now. He can kill me if he wants but I'll die with a great smile on my face!"

Immediately after, the man reached out with his thick arms to grab hold of the girl. He was aiming to cover up Bai Li's mouth to prevent her from screaming. An image flashed across his mind with the girl on her knees begging for forgiveness as his toothless mouth curved into a wicked grin.

Bai Li stepped backward in the nick of time and stated loud and clear, "While my husband forbids me from using violence, if you provoke me any further, I swear to God I will rain his fury down upon you!"

"Haha, big words missy. Come on, touch me all you want!"

Bai Li's eyes glimmered and a cunning smile broke across her face.

"Since you've invited me to, sure thing!"

Without hesitation, she lifted her feminine arm high above her head before bringing it down onto the man's face like a whip.

While Qin Feng held back on his attacks, the same could not be said for Bai Li.

That smack alone sent her opponent flying meters back, smashing open the windows which he had barricaded mere moments ago. This ancient warrior dropped like a sack of potatoes onto the ground outside the hotel. Bugs roaming around the surrounding area immediately swarmed over and turned the toothless sex-offender-to-be into an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Bai Li cackled wryly.

"You don't have the balls to feed me to the bugs, literally and figuratively!"

She then walked off in her high heels as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 109: Upgrading the Verdant Emperor Saber

None of the ancient warrior's comrades stepped in to diffuse the situation. Was Qin Feng's slap to that person's face, not also a slap to the dignity of the entire team? Revenge would normally be sought afterwards but there was a reason why this was not the case.

Aptitude users could be perfectly described using the ever-changing weather as an analogy. You may be riding high today, strong as ever but come tomorrow, you could just be eating dirt to get by!

It never crossed any of these people's minds that Bai Li would possess such great power.

"She, she's an aptitude user!"

"Sh*t, comrade number three's dead!"

"Just what kind of a sh*tshow did he get into last time?"

It did not take long for these ability-users to quiet down. Now, the hotel was dead silent.

Present on the scene was a total of six aptitude users, half of them being close friends of the now-deceased warrior.

"Say, should we just run for it?" One of the gunners asked as he shifted around uncomfortably.

The lady looked as fragile as a porcelain flower vase but was strong enough to wipe out a battle-hardened man with a single blow. If she alone were this strong, it was hard to imagine just how much stronger this Qin Feng person was. Now that they have pissed off his girl, it was a pretty wise decision to leave the scene.

"No, you've all witnessed just how strong she is. With Armageddon happening outside, she's surprisingly calm for a lady to be travelling alone. There must be some trick up her sleeve, some kind of a trump card. It's gotta be safer if we could just call for a ceasefire with them. Going outside isn't an option!"

"Yeah, we'll stay!"

The other half of the team were not particularly close with the late-ancient warrior and co. They merely banded together to wait out the storm, a pact of convenience. As they had not offended Qin Feng, there was no reason to go. In fact, they were relieved upon learning of his existence!

"Hmm, let's check him out later on. We'll introduce ourselves and by extension, secure the safety of our group!"

"Well said!"

The others seemed to have reached a consensus.

Meanwhile, Bai Li had finally arrived at the smelting facility where she handed the spear over to Qin Feng.

He then passed the weapon carefully over to Liu Zhenshan.

"This is the one I was talking about!"

Upon receiving that spear, the old man's face glowed with excitement.

"Star steel!"

"That's correct."

Qin Feng nodded.

As the Emperor Knight had died, so did its contract with its spear. The spirit residing within the spear dissipated over time hence it was not as effective in Qin Feng's hands. In its current state, it would be far better to harness the power of its material, then to forge a new weapon out of it with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

In the next moment, it seemed as if the spear had turned into hot steel as Liu Zhenshan struggled to keep it within his grips.

"You want to use this to upgrade your own weapon? Wouldn't that be a tad bit too wasteful?" Liu Zhenshan asked with a confused look.

To his question, Qin Feng shook his head as he replied, "I'm using it on my own weapon so how would it be wasteful?"

The old man had held in his arms the Verdant Emperor Saber in previous occasions and so he understood that it was forged from a G-tier ultra beast. However, a piece of star steel was of an S-tier rarity and could easily produce an A-tier runic equipment.

Though, that piece of equipment would be so powerful that even Qin Feng would find it hard to make good use of. On second thought, perhaps upgrading his personal weapon would be the best choice for Qin Feng after all.

"Alright, let's get down to business then!"

The entire spearhead was forged out of pure star steel, so there was no need to refine it, nor was a separation process necessary. The only thing they needed to do was to melt it and reform its shape.

"Bai Li, you head back first! We'll be back in no time!" Qin Feng said.

"I don't want to go back. That place is stinky!" Bai Li rebutted grumpily.

It seemed that after Qin Feng had left the shelter, the people there could finally let out a sigh of relief. Many of them, after finally surviving the arduous journey were drenched in sweat. There were even some that had emptied their bladders out of fear when they got attacked halfway through the journey. All those bodily fluids, trapped within a small, unventilated space would soon turn the entire place nauseating to say the least.

However foul the place smelled, no one dared to grumble about it. What right did they have to do so?

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire broke the silence and soon, more guns started joining in as if a war had begun outside.

"What's happening?"

Qin Feng's brows furrowed.

Bai Li remembered the group of people she bumped into on her way here and replied, "Hmm, I saw around seven humans over at the hotel while making my way here, and oh, right, one of them has been fed to the bugs!"

Qin Feng had no idea what Bai Li was referring to when she said "fed to the bugs". Was she the one who fed the person to the bugs? Anyway, with so much noise from the battle outside, it was bound to attract a great deal of insectoids over.

If that were the case, Liu Zhenshan could be in big trouble!

"You stay here and protect Uncle Liu at all costs. Should the situation call for it, do not hesitate to release your strength. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve but you must stop those bugs from harming the old man. Understood?"

"Oh ho, aye aye!"

Bai Li nodded her head and sat back down in the room.

Qin Feng exited the smelting facility. Opening up the reinforced steel front door, he discovered that there already were bugs littering the corridor leading to where the old man and Bai Li were.

Five blade mantises and more than ten black steel bugs.

Qin Feng had only appeared for a mere second and yet these black steel bugs had started swarming over in an attempt to overwhelm him.

Slam!

Qin Feng yanked the door shut in a hurry. He could only face these critters after ensuring their passageway to Liu Zhenshan was thoroughly blocked.

The bugs crawled with alarming speed toward Qin Feng and came so close that he could count the razor-sharp fangs inside the many jaws that were gaping open, ready to tear out a piece of his own flesh.

"Hellfire!"

The air around Qin Feng started burning with raging intensity, turning him into a moving ball of flame.

The bugs hurled themselves at Qin Feng regardless of the fire, like how moths would fly fearlessly into a campfire.

"Screech!"

A sharp screech echoed down the corridor, accompanied by the pungent smell of burning bug flesh.

Qin Feng held his breath as the flames burned ever stronger, repelling these bugs away from the building.

The insects were sent flying from Qin Feng's ingenious attack. It did not matter if it were a blade mantis or a black steel bug, they would all collapse onto the ground and curl up into a roasted stinking mess.

As the hotel and the equipment store had connecting back alleys, Qin Feng walked over to the hotel but to no avail as the door had been locked from within.

However, Qin Feng was able to peer through a transparent part of the door to see that there was a large build-up of bugs within the building.

"Damn it, we can't hold this floor any longer! Go up! All of you! Regroup upstairs!"

The sea of bugs was growing denser by the second!

Bang! Bang!

Sensing a presence beyond the door, some of the bugs near the locked door started attacking it instead, trying to get to Qin Feng who was standing outside.

Clink!

An emerald green arm sliced open the door from the inside like a hot knife through butter, cutting through the main points in which it was secured.

With a grunt, Qin Feng kicked down the large door.

Thud!

As Qin Feng's attack power was now soaring through the roof, he managed to bring down the door with just one hefty kick. On the other side of the door, the force exerted by the kick was enough to crush the hungry blade mantises to death!

Squelch!

A loud crunch could be heard as the large door collapsed onto the floor. Qin Feng was then met with the gag-inducing stench which insectoids naturally produced as well the smell of their fresh blood.

It seemed that Qin Feng had stirred up a hornet's nest!

Black steel bugs washed over him, like a dark wave trying to drown out Qin Feng.

"Hellfire!"

Qin Feng activated his consciousness, allowing his ability to burst out as fire runes danced about in the air.

A wall of fire had materialised in front of Qin Feng.

While none of the bugs physically made it through the blazing wall, their painful wails as they writhed about in the inferno filled the room.

Hellfire was no ordinary fire attack, for it burned not flesh, but the enemy's soul. Still, it was more than enough to turn these low-level bug beasts into crispy carbon.

However, to Qin Feng's surprise, the emerald-green streak appeared once again. This time, it was hurdling toward Qin Feng himself, which made it all the more terrifying.

Qin Feng spun his body, barely escaping the cutting blade.

Crack!

The wall behind Qin Feng was split open in an instant, allowing a thin ray of sunlight into the room.

"Beast general!"

Qin Feng turned over to be greeted by a pair of razor-sharp forelimbs of a massive mantis.

The beast general of the blade mantises stood at a height of almost two meters tall. Its massive forelimbs were able to strike at anything up to a distance of two meters at the speed of lightning.

Once a blade mantis was locked onto you, there was no escaping the fate of being dismembered into multiple chunks of flesh and bones. Their forelimbs were their best weapon after all.

Swish!

The blade mantis general attacked once more.

In such a small space, Qin Feng had little to no room for dodging attacks!

"Shadow!"

Qin Feng vanished into thin air as he took to the shadows for temporary refuge.

Losing its target so suddenly, the blade mantis general was visibly in a daze.

Qin Feng jumped back roughly ten meters before reappearing!

"Dark ray!"

A beam of darkness hurdled toward the blade mantis general's body.

Chapter 110: Alliance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The beam of darkness encapsulated the blade mantis, trapping it within a pocket of dead air. Under the effects of the hell stone, the dark ray exerted a greater amount of pressure than ever seen before.

The body of the blade mantis general shrunk at an alarming rate, drying up like a parched tree as the death of its cells accelerated. Its abdomen, which was once jade-green had now turned into a sickly shade of yellow.

"Hiss!" The blade mantis struggled to keep on its feet swaying side-to-side like a bobo doll.

"Fire beam!"

Qin Feng once again let loose a ray of fire.

The beast general widened its beady eyes, turning around in an attempt to escape its fiery death.

However, its body had been weakened significantly after enduring Qin Feng's previous attacks, no longer possessing the agility it once had.

Pop!

The fire beam exploded right around the enemy's abdomen, blasting deep-green bodily fluids into every corner of the room, including the ceiling.

Within the mass of fluids, there appeared to be tiny orbs of light which were likely the cells of the general which had all experienced a rapid aging process.

After successfully dealing with the beast general, the other creatures, being intimidated by the grand show of force had no choice but to fall back, else they would face the same fate as their leader. However, as the number of bugs was overwhelming while the floorspace remained limited, the crowd inched forward slowly in terror!

"Hellfire!"

Qin Feng unleashed his consciousness with explosive power. The flames literally spread like wildfire, burning with unrivalled intensity, turning the entire floor of the hotel into a sea of fire.

With nowhere to go, these bugs became trapped in an oven, awaiting their fate of being engulfed by Qin Feng's fire.

It was only after a full three minute, when none of the bugs outside the building dared to enter did Qin Feng start to gradually turn down the flames.

He had killed over a hundred of these creepy crawlies in one go.

Apart from piles of gray-ash littering the charred floorboards, there were also tiny beads the size of a human thumbnail. It seemed that these were the energy cores of the freshly-slain insectoids.

Of course, there were only a handful of these beads laying around as most insectoids were pretty weak; only a fraction of them possessed energy cores, unlike the undead corpses that possessed individual cores.

"Retrieve!"

Making use of his consciousness, Qin Feng collected all the energy cores which came flying into his palm.

From killing more than a hundred of these guys, Qin Feng merely harvested a grand total of thirteen energy cores, including one from that beast general he took down.

Alongside the cores, Qin Feng tucked away the blade mantis general's slicers into the spatial rune equipment.

As he was doing so, a menacing figure appeared in the shattered door frame linked to the safe passage outside.

"Cough cough!"

The man clenched tightly onto his belly, looking at Qin Feng with an expression that was a mixture of relief and fear.

"Mr. Qin, thanks for saving our lives!"

This man was one of the guys Qin Feng lobbed a round or two back at in retaliation.

Qin Feng raised his brow and replied, "You guys are making too much noise! You'll only serve as the dinner bell for these bugs!"

The man smiled bitterly and apologised, "I'm sorry but my energy equipment's run out of juice!"

The energy blaster he was holding was indeed silent, as opposed to the usual humming it produced. While its effect was deadly, it guzzled too much energy and was extremely costly to operate, hence the majority of gunners stuck to using traditional lead bullets and explosive rounds on the battlefield.

While there was a saying that gunners were typically money bags, failing to budget properly could burn a massive hole in their pockets, meaning a comeback was near impossible after being drained of money and resources.

"Hmm!"

Qin Feng nodded in understanding.

The great hall on the first floor was too wide of a place to defend, with glass doors surrounding the entire vicinity. While one could reasonably hold off G-tier ultra beasts, the same could not be said for F-tier ones. From what Qin Feng observed, these people had at most poured insect-repelling powder around the place. Facing a large number of insectoids as was the case moments ago, their defensive measure was obviously insufficient.

After dealing with this threat, Qin Feng turned and left, paying little attention to these people whom he had just saved.

"Mr Qin!"

Seeing that Qin Feng was about to leave, the man called out urgently with a hint of desperation in his voice.

And yet, Qin Feng's feet did not stop!

The man started explaining in a hurry, "Mr Qin, we stumbled onto something interesting on the second floor and I just thought that you may want to check it out! After all, this is also a safe haven for you to fall back to. Uh, right! Strength in numbers! Perhaps it would be best for us to cooperate!"

This man obviously did not want Qin Feng to leave.

After all, men of such power were few and far between.

Qin Feng was a fire ability user and the energy he could unleash was something which no ordinary F-tier user could match.

Hearing what the man had to say, Qin Feng stopped in his tracks.

"What are you referring to?"

"Sir, you'll understand when you come and see for yourself!"

A suspicion arose in Qin Feng's mind that these guys could be up to no good. But even if he was persuaded to go upstairs, was there anything these guys could do to stop him from leaving?

With that in mind, Qin Feng followed the man to the entrance of a safe passage!

On the other end of the passageway up the stairs however, was a heavy bed frame barricading against outsiders, leaving a small gap that was no more than half a meter-wide for humans to be able to barely squeeze through. Littering the stairway up to the makeshift barricade were carcasses of a variety of insectoids.

So this was how they stopped the bugs from entering the second floor!

It was such a simple defensive structure that if not for Qin Feng's unexpected arrival, it would have collapsed in no time against these unrelenting bugs.

Squeezing past the shoddy barricade, two men entered into Qin Feng's view on the other side. According to Bai Li's report, there were seven people around here and one of them was fed to the bugs.

If his math were correct, that meant three casualties from the bug assault just now.

"Mr Qin, my name's Wang Chen. We've had a bit of a misunderstanding back then but since everybody's on the same boat, I hope that we can let bygones be bygones!"

Wang Chen said as his hand remained pressed onto his belly.

Qin Feng, who could achieve such magnificent feats using his consciousness alone naturally had a pretty good memory. A single glance was just what it took for him to recognise the companion of that aptitude user who had toyed with Bai Li.

Could it be that the person who Bai Li said was "fed to the bugs" was none other than this guy's friend?

Considering Bai Li's looks, it did not take a genius to be able to imagine what would have happened if such a girl were walking across such a disordered place, where laws and morality were as good as dead.

Still, Bai Li had her own ways to defend herself.

Qin Feng's expression darkened as he stared at Wang Chen coldly in the eyes.

The man felt a wave of fear creeping up his spine as his smile became more and more forced.

Unbeknownst to both of them was the fact that the entire incident was entirely a result of Bai Li's doing.

After Bai Li sent the man flying out the window, the fresh meal attracted a large group of hungry insectoids over for the feast. This happened when the men were only halfway through building their defensive perimeter. Naturally, they would open fire to kill off those bugs to prevent a potential breach but unfortunately, that only attracted an even larger group of creepy-crawlies to their position.

It was only after witnessing firsthand just what Qin Feng was capable of, that ideas for revenge were quickly abandoned.

What was more, the remaining two of the group had no grievances with Qin Feng and were in fact, elated to meet Qin Feng in person.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Qin! My name's He Ling, this man over here's Zhao Xiang!"

"Oh, just call me Qin Feng!"

"No no no no, we'll stick to Mr Qin! We are now nothing but a small team of defeated soldiers with no leader to guide us! I sincerely hope that Mr Qin can help us out. As long as we can survive through this, I swear I will repay the debt to you no matter what!"

These insectoids were too overwhelming. It did not matter that they were F-tier aptitude users. They could not hold their ground even when teamed up against an F-tier blade mantis general. The unexpected arrival of Qin Feng however, greatly boosted their morale again after a brief moment of staring death right in the eyes.

A nerve popped on Qin Feng's forehead.

He was no hero who had come to save the day.

Still, his mind returned to the supposed heroine that was Liu Xue. On second thought, the addition of a few more aptitude users might not completely be bad news, considering the fact that there were now more than twenty people to protect in the underground shelter.

"Hmm, alright!"

"You are okay with that, Mr Qin?" He Ling found it difficult to believe Qin Feng's answer.

"We really appreciate it, Mr Qin!" Zhao Xiang hurriedly thanked their saviour.

"Thank you!" the superficial smile Wang Chen wore on his face was now exchanged with one that reflected his genuine emotion.

"Oh right, before I forget, what's the reason that you led me up here?" Qin Feng reminded Wang Chen.

Wang Chen hurriedly replied, "Mr Qin, I have not fooled you! Come over here and take a look!"

Wang Chen led Qin Feng to a nearby window.

Chapter 111: The Terrifying Broodmother

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Qin Feng was facing the bugs on the first floor alone, Wang Chen, driven by fear, had completely sealed away the safe passage thereby blocking themselves in from the blood-thirsty monsters below. It was only after seeing the insectoids' miraculous retreat into the distance was the entrance opened back up as he wanted to meet Qin Feng downstairs as soon as possible.

However, it was right at that moment prior to their meeting when Wang Chen discovered something that was so scary that it solidified his resolve to offer a truce with Qin Feng.

Wang Chen led Qin Feng to the window where a sniper rifle was leaning against the windowsill.

"Mr Qin, it's in that direction!"

Qin Feng peered through the scope after confirming that he was pointing the rifle in the right direction.

The massive black rift remained floating in the sky above Han Town from which insectoids would fall out from time to time. However, a noticeable change was that the number of bugs entering this city had grown sparser than during the initial stage of the infestation.

The cars that once roamed the busy streets had now been exchanged with these God-forsaken bugs. Dark-red, almost black colored patches could be observed smeared across the town's surface, on cars or on the walls to name a few places.

While they were only standing on the second floor of the building, Liu Xue's influence and standing in Han Town earned them the strategic location that was the hotel. The window Qin Feng was standing at overlooked the once flourishing street that ran through the central business district and right across the road was a massive skyscraper that was once a trade center.

However, stuck between the two grand buildings was a massive spider web.

Resting on the web, was a colossal spider that could easily send chills down the spine of anyone who dared to look at it.

Qin Feng froze as his eyes met the herculean arachnid.

"It's a beast king!"

The distance between the two buildings was at least seventy to eighty meters wide. Just how was it possible that there was a spider web this big?

Looking closely, each individual spider silk had at least the thickness of a hemp rope. The gigantic eight-legged beast on the other hand, had a body that was at least three to four meters long, the size of a minivan. That was excluding eight of its legs that stretched up to more than ten meters long each.

Such a huge beast, it was the largest Qin Feng had ever seen since his rebirth!

To put the length of ten meters into perspective, if we were to compare it to the floors of your average building, assuming three meters per floor, ten meters would be over three floors tall!

With the spider choosing to spin its web between these two buildings, it was hard to imagine just how devastating its effects would be if further left unchecked.

As if that was not bad enough, hanging on the spider's web were more than ten cocoon-like sacs, each roughly around one-tenth the size of the spider.

However, Qin Feng deduced from its shape that they must be the unfortunate ones who had fallen into this beast king's jaws.

"It's a steel-limb broodmother!" He Ling interrupted the silence, his voice noticeably shaky. It appeared that he already knew of the spider's existence.

"Now that it's food supply is taken care of, the steel-limb broodmother will soon initiate its mating process. From each human body, it could produce up to three hundred steel-limb spiderlings which, only after three days would be mature enough to breed. If that were to happen, we'd be drowned in a sea of spiders!"

Qin Feng's brows furrowed at the thought of the impending disaster.

What He Ling said was no lie.

Back on the first floor, there were indeed male steel-limb spiders. Despite their smaller size, they were not weak creatures. If not for Qin Feng, the four people standing before him would have been torn to shreds without losing too much of their own.

What this implied was that there would soon be a surge in the number of male spiders out hunting for food.

"We cannot afford to let them breed!"

Qin Feng announced in a stern tone.

"We know that! Still, we don't have much of a choice here do we? It's a beast king after all!"

Wang Chen felt his mouth gowing bitter.

Qin Feng nodded, realising the powerlessness of this bunch of survivors.

"We'll strike tonight!"

As long as the Verdant Emperor Saber remained unfinished, Qin Feng could not afford to make any rash decisions.

As its name suggested, the limbs of the steel-limb broodmother was not something which could be snapped in two with bare hands.

However, Qin Feng's announcement was taken with surprise and disbelief by these men.

"Mr Qin, are you saying that you're gonna kill the beast king tonight?" Yu Hai asked hesitantly before adding on to his initial question, "Say, just how strong have you become now?"

He could not possibly be E-tier, right?

Qin Feng seemed to be right around seventeen, at most eighteen years of age. If he had indeed reached E-tier, then would that not make him an even greater entity, with more potential than Liu Xue?

Qin Feng chuckled at the unexpected question.

"I don't think there's a need to answer your question. I'm afraid you guys would piss your pants out of fear if I were to indeed say it out loud."

Qin Feng could not possibly say that he was an F4-tier aptitude user. The strength he possessed was something that far exceeded what these people could imagine after all.

Even if his ability was revealed to this lot, there was still the chance that they would doubt his capability to kill this steel-limb broodmother.

As such, things were better left unsaid.

Qin Feng's words only made him all the more mysterious a character in their eyes, with powers that might just be beyond their expectations.

It did not take long before Qin Feng earned their respect.

"Follow me, the buildings on this street are not worth defending!"

"Roger that!" They too, understood the worth, or the lack thereof, of the building in which they were occupying. The only reason for them being here was because of the food supply left here untouched.

In hindsight, it really was the best choice for them to leave this place after all.

They had severely underestimated how deadly these creepy-crawlies could be!

"Before we leave, go get combat supplies from next door, and recharge that energy blaster! We're gonna need it!" Qin Feng started issuing orders.

"Right!" Wang Chen was the first to agree. Combat supplies included a wide range of equipment including hemostatic agents for example. These all could be found in what was once Liu Zhenshan's equipment store.

Qin Feng led the way as pointman while Wang Chen and his three-man team trailed closely behind. Upon reaching the first floor, they made their way into the equipment shop next door through a secret passageway.

As Qin Feng had walked this path before, it had already been cleared through once. However, due to the battle just now, some insectoids managed to crawl their way in.

It was hard to imagine just how dense the crowd of bugs was from before, being able to squeeze a sizable portion of them into this tunnel.

"Hellfire!"

Qin Feng raised his hand in front of him before activating the attack, from which five fist-sized fireballs shot out, each flying toward different targets.

Splat! Splat! Splat!

The fireballs smashed into the bugs' bodies before clinging on stubbornly like napalm, resulting in an excruciatingly painful death, evident in their violent thrashing on the ground as they were literally roasted alive.

"Move your asses, only bring what you can carry. It's fine if you leave stuff behind, there will be survivors taking refuge here someday."

Qin Feng urged.

In an urban area in which anarchy had befallen, stores would generally be left abandoned by their owners. Naturally, they became prime targets for looters seeking supplies either for survival, or for a quick buck.

"Roger that!"

While it looked from the outside to be filled with supplies, the equipment store was actually pretty empty. There were a handful of variants of combat fatigues, with different numbers denoting each variant on display. The rest of the fatigues were instead, found in the storage space behind the counter. Out in the open were crates of perishable goods; hard-tack crackers and regular medical supplies to name a few.

It did not take long before Wang Chen found a hemostatic spray lying around somewhere. He hurriedly tore open his shirt and sprayed the liquid onto his injured abdomen. It seemed that he had barely escaped the jaws of death as the blade mantis' slicers slashed into his belly.

Wang Chen then took out a piece of wound dressing and applied it to the puncture. Only after successfully applying the dressing did he let out a sigh of relief.

The four men moved swiftly, collecting whatever they could and stored them away into eight large military-grade rucksacks before leaving through the backyard.

"Xiao Bai, open up the door!"

Qin Feng notified Bai Li after switching on the communicator.

The iron door popped open, revealing Liu Zhenshan crouching beside the smelting furnace. It had been forty-or-so minutes since Qin Feng left the place and that was the amount of time it took for the Star Steel spearhead to melt. As for now, it was skillfully being incorporated into the Verdant Emperor Saber by the old man.

Qin Feng led the three men into the room before locking the door shut. Liu Zhenshan turned around to check out the noise and upon seeing Qin Feng's return, he let out a breath of relief.

"How's the situation outside?"

"It's fine!"

Liu Zhenshan did not need to know too much about the steel-limb broodmother.

"Well then, Qin Feng, could you go over to the underground shelter where Liu Xue and the group are hiding? Since it's safe outside I think it's best for them to move over here. There are two warehouses beside the smelting facility and the built-in defense system's pretty robust too!"

Qin Feng too, had thought about this before. However, no matter how bad the situation was in the underground shelter, the risk was simply too high to stay above ground. Though, to the perception of many, such risks could be averted with the presence of Qin Feng.

Chapter 112: Saber Unveiled!

"Are they going to come up as well?" Qin Feng asked.

A bonehead teammate was more untolerable than the most formidable opponent.

It would be a pain in the ass if they did want to tag along.

"Perhaps not." Liu Zhensan was uncertain.

Qin Feng nodded. That would be the best. He turned to the other three and admonished, "Some commoners might join us later. Do your best to protect them then."

"Leave it to us. Anyhow, it's our duty as aptitude users to protect the weak. With great power comes great responsibility." Wang Chen snorted rather sarcastically. He, too, actually did not wish to have so many commoners around.

Qin Feng was even more reluctant but it could not be helped. After all, this place was the patrol unit leader of Han Town, Liu Xue's birthplace. If such a tragedy were to befall Chengbei colony, he would have done the same for his kins.

Such was the unpredictable fate of humanity in this turbulent era. Qin Feng decided that he would do what he could to help.

"Uncle Liu, let's collect the stuff from the storeroom next door." Qin Feng said.

Liu Zhensan agreed immediately. The items inside that room were worth at least a few tens of millions. He would love to hoard back as many valuables as possible.

Fortunately, the three spatial runes he carried with him had enough space to fill most of the expensive beast materials. He did not take any of the guns as he knew that those would be their lifeline in the upcoming survival battle. It would be distributed out to everyone later.

In the past life, the ammunition supply was what had helped them to escape Han Town safely.

Qin Feng watched as Liu Zhensan collected the valuables. After the latter finished packing, Qin Feng walked out and commanded He Ling and Zhao Xiang to prepare sandbags and carried it to the second floor to barricade the windows and hallways. They set up the proper defense and sprayed monster repellants all over the floor to leave only a narrow path.

Once they had completed the setup, Qin Feng went back down to the underground parking lot through the secured exit.

The parking lot was in a mess. He was met by a brownish larva of ten-meter-long the moment he opened the door.

It was a plow worm!

"Fire Beam!"

Qin Feng triggered his consciousness and a dark-red laser beam was immediately unleashed. The beam sent the plow worm flying and blasted it into pieces.

Plow worms were a giant earthworm-like creature. They liked to hide underneath humid land and would normally break through the ground to attack their prey.

The danger level of a plow worm was determined based on its size. S-tier plow worms were probably as gigantic as a real dragon. One single turn might lead to a massive earthquake if such a creature really existed.

The one Qin Feng came across was a G5-tier. There was nothing to be worried about.

Of course, there would be no escape if the one that opened the door just now was a random commoner.

Qin Feng walked toward the iron door of the basement.

"Liu Xue, open the door. I am here to bring you all up." Qin Feng contacted Liu Xue through the communicator.

Liu Xue opened the door from inside and a foul stench instantly leaked out from the room. Qin Feng furrowed his eyebrows.

That was to be expected when twenty nervous people were cramped inside a small room. Some men were even smoking in there. The vent only drew in oxygen and provided little to no circulation to the room.

"How is it out there?"

"Are the insectoids still rampaging?"

"Have you guys sorted out the defensive unit?"

Numerous questions were shot at Qin Feng before Liu Xue could say anything.

Qin Feng looked at the eager citizens that approached him tensely and took a step back. "You guys should have already been informed of the condition out there through the communicator. What different news do you expect me to bring?"

The people inside the basement were silenced and turned grim. They had, of course, learned about the latest development distributed through the communicator.

They just refused to believe that Han Town was destroyed this quickly and unpredictably.

The defense team had gone separate ways too. They were running together with everyone during the invasion and only a few had stayed back to slightly stall the insectoid waves.

"Don't worry. Hasn't Coldstorm announced that they are going to come and save us? I believe a lot of aptitude users have answered the call and are on their way to Han Town now. We only need to endure for a few more days!" Liu Xue tried to console the town folks.

"I don't know when your savior will arrive but one thing is certain—We have a beast king hanging around just about three hundred meters from here." Qin Feng broke the news coldly.

Fear and panic instantly filled the room. That was exactly the impact Qin Feng wished to see.

"It's too crowded here. Some people have to come with me to the safe house. Don't worry, I will ensure your safety out there," Qin Feng instructed.

But it sounded like a lame joke in those people's ears. 'How are you going to protect us when a beast king is loitering nearby?'

"I am going with you. I want to stay by my hubby's side no matter what," Qiao Yan walked out and said. She was a lady boss with great life experience. Her instinct told her that Qin Feng was a man of his words.

If he claimed he could protect them, then he was going to bet his life on the line.

"Lady boss, I am going with you as well."

"Bring me too!"

Qiao Yan's workers—three men and one woman—had stood out as well.

That made six of them including Liu Xue.

"But then…" Liu Xue was worried that even if the others would be safe hiding down in the basement, the food supply might not last.

Qiao Yan pushed Liu Xue out of the basement before she finished her sentence.

"Anyone else?" Qin Feng asked once again.

They avoided eye contact and said nothing.

The basement was not a public area but a private property that belonged to Liu Zhenshan. It had limited space and they would be more comfortable with the six people gone. The outside world was extremely dangerous now and any misstep would spell instant death. Hence, most of them were more willing to stay behind the steel door.

"Then you are on your own now!"

Qin Feng left those words and led the six out of the room. Those who remained in the room wasted no time and shut the door behind them instantly.

"Those people are horrible. It's supposed to be our hotel's basement!"

The twenty-ish girl that tagged along said angrily. The uninvited guests had been feasting and had turned the underground into a smokehouse ever since they arrived. Not only that but some of the guys had not been kind and friendly toward them. This had more or less startled the lady.

In comparison, Qin Feng appeared to be more dependable and trustworthy.

"Well, we have gone our separate ways now. It's their choice to stay put." Qin Feng showed little pity and guided the group back to the temporary safe house.

Insectoids had stopped coming through the rift but Han Town had already crumbled under the beasts' ferocious assaults. Those who made it out alive were perhaps less than ten percent of the original population.

The patrol unit responsible to recapture Han Town was none other than Coldstorm battalion. The general in charge was just a mere G7-tier ancient warrior. He was helpless in the face of the insectoids that were hundreds of times greater than his troop in size. They needed to wait for at least another day until the nearest reinforcement could reach them.

As such, night had promptly landed on the town that was left with nothing but despair.

The city was still at one midnight. Even so, the occasional humming noise made by the worms had the survivors trembling in fear. Without maintenance, the city had run out of power and was soon consumed by pitch-black darkness.

Inside the forge, Liu Zhenshan was sweating with excitement.

"It's done!"

The mold in his hand opened up and the weapon in it gleamed brilliantly.

Chapter 113: Battle the Beast King

The bright glare slowly toned down and revealed the shape of the weapon in it.

In the previous forge, only a short blade was made since the rat king's fangs were the only materials used. This time, the Verdant Emperor Saber had obviously become deadlier with the infusion of new materials.

The saber measured at 70 cm in length now. The size of its hilt remained unchanged while the blade elongated by 15 cm to reach 60 cm. Its width and thickness had also grown to 3.8 cm and 0.9 cm respectively.

It no longer looked like an ordinary cross saber. Despite the spurt in size, it was still rather flexible and had great sharpness. The color of the blade had also deepened and appeared to be cyan now.

Perhaps due to the addition of the Star Steel, there was a faint glittering pattern at the tip of the blade that contrasted its base color, which made the blade more enchanting.

"Nice sword!" Qin Feng complimented and picked up the Verdant Emperor Saber.

"I have prepared a scabbard for you as well. Better keep it hidden in public to avoid unwanted attention," Liu Zhenshan passed Qin Feng an ordinary-looking sheath. It was made from the skin of the rat king and Qin Feng figured he would make a better one when he obtained better materials in the future.

He agreed with what Liu Zhenshan had just said. There was no need to swank his weapon to everyone he met. The Verdant Emperor Saber now carried a faint gleam of gold radiance—a sign showed only when the weapon had surpassed the beast king's material limit. It was all thanks to the celestial steel.

"You shall have your thirst quenched by the beast's blood tonight," Qin Feng glanced at the saber and said smilingly.

He sheathed the saber and walked out from the forge. Wang Chen and others had yet to fall asleep at this hour. Someone had to be awake and guard the night but in fact, an idea was lingering in their minds.

That was because Qin Feng had claimed that he was going to challenge the beast king.

Without waking Liu Xue and others in the next room, Qin Feng and Bai Li crossed the sandbag wall and submerged into the darkness.

He Ling and co. watched as they departed.

"Do you think they would succeed?"

"It's hard to say…"

"Why do I suddenly feel that he might actually make it…"

None of them uttered another word after that. They dared not make too much noise as their sounds might travel far in this quiet night. What if the insectoids were to hear them?

They were unable to take a look at the condition outside from the backyard they were at now. They were eager to find out what the situation of the town was at now and what was going to happen soon.

"Let's go higher up and take a look," He Ling promptly suggested.

Zhao Xiang contemplated and nodded. "Let's go to the top floor. We can use any of the rooms. It should be fine."

"Let's go!" Wang Chen could not hold back his curiosity too, and joined them.

They climbed to the fourth floor and found a decent spot. They then proceeded to set up their scope and scanned around the town through it.

On a distant building, Qin Feng was mounting a dark warhorse with the Verdant Emperor Saber on his waist.

The warhorse once belonged to the Emperor Knight. The horse could be steered by simply infusing dark energy into it. It could run at a speed faster than the hovercar. Most importantly, it could jump and sprint on all types of terrains.

Qin Feng was staring at the steel-limb broodmother further away.

Bai Li was behind Qin Feng with one leg on the saddle. She was not really stepping on it but was instead floating in mid-air.

'Such a giant beast. If only we could kill it from afar.'

Qin Feng sighed. A small-sized beast might not be weak but the rule of thumb was that the bigger the beast, the more powerful it was.

Even getting hit by one of its legs would be devastating. Not only that, Qin Feng would be easily trampled on if the beast decided to body smash him.

"Xiao Bai, the bazooka."

"Here!"

Xiao Bai pointed and a bazooka immediately popped up in front of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng retrieved it and placed it skillfully on his left arm. This was the same weapon he had used at Zimu Mountains to counter-attack Lu Heng and also the one that had put down the Emperor Knight.

Qin Feng took aim at the giant broodmother and…

Click!

Qin Feng pushed the trigger and the muzzle of the bazooka instantly buzzed with flares shooting out of it.

An orange missile broke free and flew straight out.

On top of the hotel, the three men that had failed to locate Qin Feng immediately turned their heads to the source of the blast.

"He's there!"

"It's a bazooka. He is using a firearm?" Wang Chen was bewildered.

"Maybe he is just trying to drive the broodmother away from its web?" Zhao Xiang expressed his doubt.

But Wang Chen was getting more and more astounded.

Boom!

The missile traveled at an astonishing speed. It reached the beast at a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye.

In the next moment, the missile landed precisely on the spider's abdomen.

An explosion swiftly followed and it trembled the giant web vigorously.

Chirp!

The broodmother wailed out of rage from inside the mushroom cloud. A wide string shot out from it and stuck to another building not far away from Qin Feng's position.

Next, a giant spider was seen dashing out from the fire through the string. It was largely unharmed as not a single wound was spotted on its body.

Qin Feng did not move and launched another missile.

Bam!

Similarly, the missile flew straight at the broodmother.

However, the broodmother came ready this time. It spitted string from its mouth and dragged itself away from the missile ballistic.

'Where are you running off to?' Qin Feng snorted and focused his consciousness. 'Turn!'

The missile that had missed the broodmother suddenly turned back and hit right at the beast's abdomen.

Kaboom! The impact flipped the beast and dropped it to the ground.

The three observers had their jaws dropped to the ground after witnessing the entire process.

"How did he do that?" Zhao Xiang could not close his mouth.

"Maybe because he is an ability user?" That was the only plausible explanation He Ling could muster.

Wang Chen did not think that it was that simple. "Although an ability user may have stronger consciousness than a gunner, it's still pretty difficult to manipulate external objects based on conscious energy alone. Besides, it is such a precise maneuver performed at such a great distance!"

Qin Feng was at least eight hundred meters away from the beast!

Wang Chen had no idea how Qin Feng achieved such a tremendous feat.

Nevertheless, no matter how accurate Qin Feng's missiles were, they had failed to halt the approaching broodmother.

The one thousand meters was shortened drastically under the beast's relentless charge.

In the meantime, Qin Feng had fired eight more missiles and hit the broodmother every single time.

Unfortunately, the twelve missiles left by He Li had been exhausted.

Cluck.

Qin Feng unlatched the bazooka and threw it to Bai Li.

Bai Li caught it and swiftly stored it into the spatial rune. At the same time, the broodmother had reached under the building Qin Feng was at.

Its spider legs climbed tirelessly up the twelve-floor building and the beast was closer than ever.

"Engage!"

Qin Feng promptly unsheathed his saber. The gleam of the blade brightened the night as if a meteor had just flashed across it.

Qin Feng signaled to the horse under his thighs and the umbra stallion immediately merged into the surroundings.

Dark Shadow!

Chapter 114: Sword Art—Blazing Sky

Qin Feng completely vanished from sight in an instance. Not even the scope could locate his position.

Qin Feng was not only watched by Wang Chen and co. but other aptitude users that had survived the attacks were startled by the battle noise and had come out from hiding to check on the situation.

Nobody would have thought that someone was daring enough to challenge the broodmother. He even chose the time when the beast might be at its strongest.

The audiences were treated with a wonderful execution staged by the mythical gunner from a thousand miles away.

"That's a shame. Gunners are weak in close combat. He is going to die after being caught up by the broodmother."

"Why waste such effort? That would only disturb and further enrage the entire insectoid troop."

The survivors began to hear rustling noises around them. The attacker had not only provoked the broodmother but at the same time had also attracted the entire fleet of insectoids toward him.

But neither the creatures nor the survivors knew that Qin Feng could come and go as he pleased in the dark. He was invisible in total darkness with the help of the dark gem. This environment maximized his dark ability to its fullest potential and not even the beast king could detect his presence.

He was the true master of the shadows. The darkness was his reign.

The umbra stallion appeared silently.

"Dark Laser!"

A band of ray darker than the night sky suddenly pierced through the broodmother's body out of nowhere.

The dark rune energy erupted and cells that were still vibrant a moment ago started to contract and lose their vitality. Its power and speed had been greatly compromised.

It went exactly the way Qin Feng intended it to. But naturally, the broodmother was not to be simply trifled with. It discovered Qin Feng's location the moment he used the ability.

Poof!

A giant white web was shot out and shrouded Qin Feng from all corners. He retreated at once.

In the end, the web missed Qin Feng and landed on one of the buildings and was stuck there. Not only that but some of its strings hit the windows due to inertia and smashed them into pieces. What a brutal attack! One could only imagine the outcome if Qin Feng were to be hit by the strings.

The steel-limb broodmother twisted its legs and turned around. Its daunting eyes scanned the night painstakingly. Then, one of its legs slid up abruptly.

Clang!

Qin Feng was exposed after the impact. The Verdant Emperor Saber shone brilliantly in the dark like a star in the night sky.

The sharp saber crippled one of the spider's legs but Qin Feng was sent flying backward as well.

'umbra stallion!'

Qin Feng stopped short as his momentum was halted by the stallion's pull. Even so, he had flown straight into one of the tall buildings and blasted all its windows apart.

Poof.

Another thin string came flying and Qin Feng dodged dexterously. The string bypassed him and was attached to the wall of the building.

'Shit!'

Qin Feng's expression changed.

"Space Blade!" Bai Li who had not shown herself thus far finally made her first move. The blade cut the string and consequently, the giant spider coming through it fell instantly to the ground.

But the broodmother was persistent. Another string was squirted and glued to the building Qin Feng was at. It was in hot pursuit once again.

The building was seven floors high. This place was obviously one of the high-class residences in Han Town. Nonetheless, no matter how well-built this place once was, it could not sustain under the broodmother's rampage.

The beast raised one of its limbs vertically and launched a quick down-swipe with it. One of the building corners was effortlessly sliced off.

Qin Feng rode the umbra stallion and dashed out from the building. The sliced building came crashing down to the ground and raised a cloud of dust.

'Blooming Flame!' Qin Feng grasped the short window of opportunity and slid his saber across one of the spider's limbs. Fire emerged where the blade passed and another steel limb of the broodmother was removed.

"Roar!"

The broodmother was enraged. Its other limbs swung rapidly toward Qin Feng, trying to tear him apart.

Qin Feng could not be caught while he was on the stallion.

Boom!

Another building had fallen victim to the spider's assault.

'Bushfire!' Qin Feng once again triggered his ability.

Fire sparks appeared in the shape of a fan on the Verdant Emperor Saber. Triggered by his inner force, the runes exploded outward and spread out a few ten meters wide.

Even inner force as dense as Qin Feng's evaporated rapidly at this instance.

Immediately, the flame engulfed the steel-limb broodmother.

Boom!

Boom!

The broodmother hopped up and down terrifyingly. The burning flame on its body had greatly frightened the beast. It got more and more violent, and soon the entire area was demolished by the beast and had turned into an unrecognizable ruin.

The giant swerved about wildly and finally put out the fire. The beast charged toward Qin Feng once it recollected itself.

Qin Feng dared not brace the charge and could only escape with the stallion.

It was indeed a terrifying battle. The loud noise trembled the entire Han Town. Qin Feng was gasping for air as his battle against the steel-limb broodmother was reaching its climax.

'What a tough opponent!' Qin Feng guessed that it was due to the giant size of the broodmother.

The Dark-Robed Ripper was equally powerful but had a much smaller body size. Besides, Qin Feng was immune to dark runes. Those played into his hand and greatly reduced the difficulty of that battle.

It was an entirely different situation this time around.

He needed little energy to avoid the Ripper's attacks but against the giant broodmother? Every evasion took great effort and concentration.

Qin Feng would have been run over numerous times if not for the stallion's agility. However, the broodmother got a fair share of damage as Qin Feng managed to take away three of its limbs.

'Its weakness is going to present itself soon. Dark Shadow!'

Qin Feng once again blended into the darkness.

He had battled for almost two hours now. Dawn was almost upon them as Qin Feng could see the first light on the horizon. The sky might be brightened up in another ten minutes or so.

That was highly unfavorable to Qin Feng if the battle were to drag on to that point. He decided to take the risk and finish off the fight quickly.

"Xiao Bai!" Qin Feng summoned Bai Li to stand by his side.

"I want to teleport there later, is it possible?" Qin Feng pointed at the abdomen of the broodmother.

"No problem!" Xiao Bai nodded.

Actually, Bai Li could have defeated the broodmother easily if she were to turn into her fox form now. But Qin Feng thought that it was still too early for Bai Li to reveal her true power. He was even reluctant to use the Space Blade unless it was a real emergency.

This exact moment was such an emergency.

The broodmother was still crawling and had finally arrived above a pit.

"Go now!" Qin Feng ordered urgently.

Bai Li grabbed Qin Feng and vanished instantly.

Schawff!

Their vision changed instantly and Qin Feng could see the lower abdomen of the steel-limb broodmother as he looked up.

Numerous one-meter-thick reverse spurs were growing on the outer skin of the abdomen. It dragged out marks on the ground as the spider crawled by.

If Qin Feng did not teleport into the pit but directly under its belly, the spurs would have pierced through both him and Bai Li alive.

'Sky Burning Sword Art—Blazing Sky!'

Qin Feng drew up his saber and temporarily boosted his aura. The blaze rapidly gathered around the Verdant Emperor Saber and shot straight upward.

The fire runes vibrated rapidly and the resulting Hellfire erupted upward like a lava fountain.

The blaze penetrated the steel-limb broodmother's abdomen instantly. Then, the skyward blaze slanted and broke through the broodmother thorax as well. Qin Feng had practically opened up a giant hole through the beast's body.

The fire continued to rush higher and bridged with the sky. Instantaneously, the entire Han Town was lit red by the mighty flame.

Chapter 115: Extermination of the Broodmother

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Sky Burning Sword Art was categorized as an A-tier martial arts. The greater the inner force was, the stronger the sword art would manifest.

It was said that this art might even surpass S-tier if used by a combatant with powerful inner strength.

Though Qin Feng had mastered the sword art, his lack of inner strength meant that he could only manage one percent of its full potential.

Despite that, the destructive force exerted by the third skill, Blazing Sky, was still rather astonishing.

Schawff!!

Two figures promptly reappeared. They were none other than Qin Feng and Bai Li.

At the far side, the almighty broodmother struggled a few steps forward and suddenly felt abnormally light. That was because half of its body had just been cut off by Qin Feng's attack.

It did not die on the spot since insectoids were a species with powerful living force.

Qin Feng's face looked pale and he could feel nothing left in his dantian. His forty clouds of inner force equivalent to that of F9-tier had been completely exhausted. Such was the price to pay in using a skill as devastating as Blazing Sky.

Fortunately, he could still rely on his conscious energy.

'Dark Ray!'

The laser fell on the broodmother's head and snatched away its final trace of vitality.

Thud!

The broodmother was dead!

The next moment, Qin Feng's core ability took over subconsciously. Unseen energy was being drawn in continuously from the fallen broodmother.

The steel-limb broodmother's greatest strength lay in its ability to reproduce. In other words, its power represented the source of life. Qin Feng could feel that his blood was beginning to circulate faster and his healing had been accelerated to a point beyond his imagination.

The wound that Qin Feng had been afflicted with in this fight was healing rapidly. Besides, though he still could not sense his inner force, he did not feel lethargic at all after the long battle.

"Not half bad!" Qin Feng gripped his fists and had a grasp that his body strength had just evolved into the F5-tier.

This was when he heard the heavy rustling noise in the dark that came from all directions.

insectoids would not interfere when their king was battling. The giant beast king would simply obliterate anything found on its path unselectively.

It was also a means of the beast king portraying its supremacy. No creature was allowed to share the beast king's prey.

The king's influence had vanished with the death of the broodmother. What was once the tip of the food chain had now become food itself. To other insectoids, the body of the broodmother was a rich source of nutrients.

"F*ck off!" The gem of darkness in Qin Feng exploded and formed a band of dark mist. The mist absorbed all light and covered Qin Feng, Bai Li, and the broodmother in complete darkness.

The mysterious mist created a barrier that could not be seen through. Not only were the insectoids unable to escape but aptitude users that had been paying attention also could not perceive what was happening inside.

"Xiao Bai, quick! Harvest the loot, spider claw, and crystal core!"

Qin Feng was not doing this for charity. Naturally, he was going after the sumptuous rewards of killing a beast king.

He had to summon the mist so that others would not learn about Bai Li's ability. Even though the beast materials were quite huge in size, people would only think that he had brought a spatial rune of extra-large space with him and suspect nothing.

Bai Li acted swiftly. She made good use of her Space Blade and harvested all the eight limbs of the broodmother. Three of them had only half left, which the other halves retrieved by Bai Li into her personal rift earlier during the fight.

She then raised her hand and created a space portal. Not long after, a crystal core of the size of a basketball appeared on her palm. It was the energy core that belonged to the broodmother.

Qin Feng, meanwhile, rounded to the back of the broodmother and used his saber to cut open the beast's burned flesh.

Blood of dark green color spilled out from the opening. Qin Feng continued to dissect the body and found its string gland in no time.

The gland was even larger than the core. It measured at three meters long and one meter wide.

"Catch this!" Qin Feng threw it to Bai Li for it to be kept together with other loots.

Then, Qin Feng once again unleashed Hellfire. The giant body of the spider swiftly caught fire. It became brittle without the core to support it. The remnants of the horrific beast were incinerated and turned into a pile of ash.

Coincidentally, the sun had risen at the same time and brought light to the ravaged land.

The darkness was displaced by the sunlight and Qin Feng came out from the dark mist together with Bai Li riding on the umbra stallion.

'Disperse!' The dark runes vanished altogether with the huge beast corpse.

The remaining insectoids rushed over to where the broodmother was supposed to be but they found nothing other than ashes on the floor there. Their feed had just disappeared mysteriously.

Some insectoids did notice Qin Feng and Bai Li but the umbra stallion stepped right through them and broke free like a weightless spirit.

Qin Feng had escaped the battle zone in the blink of an eye and turned into a street.

The insectoids were relentless and numerous worms swarmed the entire street behind them.

Buzz!!

Bloodthirsty beetles that could fly caught up to Qin Feng first.

Slash!

Qin Feng simply waved his saber to kill two of the pursuers. The lowly insectoids would be no match to the Verdant Emperor Saber.

Yet, they seemed determined to drown Qin Feng by their numbers.

'Go to hell!' Qin Feng was furious and triggered his consciousness.

"Hellfire!"

All of a sudden, the fire runes went wild and scorched the entire long street behind Qin Feng.

Boom!

The fuel tank of a few cars caught fire and exploded sequentially.

Several thousands of insectoids were instantly killed by the blast. Not a sign of life other than Qin Feng and Bai Li could be detected on the street after the explosion.

"Time to go!" Qin Feng pushed the stallion to gallop speedily forward. The insectoids at the rear were unable to chase after them as Hellfire was still burning bright.

Though the entire Han Town was roamed by the insectoids, Qin Feng could not care less and used the main road under broad daylight. They soon arrived in front of a tall building.

This was the place where the broodmother had set up its giant web.

"Argh!!!"

"Kill me. End my misery now!"

"It's so painful. Save me!"

Qin Feng could hear the shrieking and groaning coming from inside unceasingly.

The people trapped by the web were not dead yet.

The steel-limb broodmother would not kill them right away. It was using them as vessels and had injected its egg into the human bodies. The eggs would feed on the blood and flesh and slowly turn into small spiders. Those baby spiders would then consume the human from inside out. That was when the captured victims would finally meet their ends. But before that, they would first experience insufferable torture.

"Hellfire!"

The flame spread along the strings and burned the entire place down steadily. These strings were still weak against fire even though it was produced by a beast king. Moreover, Qin Feng's Hellfire was more destructive than a normal flame.

The spider web finally crumbled and the hostages on it were being charred alive.

Qin Feng witnessed the entire process from outside. He was not shaken despite the diabolical scene.

He had gone through similar episodes in his previous life. In fact, way too much and way worse. Qin Feng no longer held unnecessary sympathy toward such tragedy. There was no better way to alleviate the sufferers from this living hell, he believed.

Chapter 116: Unwilling to change

After the spider webs were burnt and destroyed, Qin Feng swaggered and returned near the hotel, he even went one round the area to clear up some of the insectoids that were in large numbers.

As soon as he returned to the forge, He Ling and the others had already returned from the hotel in front; however, they looked at Qin Feng with admiration and were also slightly puzzled.

Despite the fact that the entire Han Town had fallen, communicators could still be used by the people, and although some might not be able to see what had happened to Qin Feng at the outer part; however, some of them did manage to obtain recordings of him.

One of the highlights was when he managed to get out from being surrounded by the insectoids.

Qin Feng was leading in the front while being pursued closely by the insectoids from behind, the recordings had also clearly captured the moment of his angered expression.

It was the anger that had ignited blazing flames that covered the entire fifty-meter-long street, and the people had to stop recording and hide to avoid the flames, after Qing Feng had left, all that was seen from the window pane was burnt ruins.

How powerful could that energy be?

Besides, He Ling, Liu Xue and Liu Zhenshan were also there and had witnessed the recordings.

Those who were being rescued from the basement had also witnessed it.

All of them were shocked by the capability of Qin Feng and thought that they should have followed him earlier.

"Qin Feng, can I ask you a question?" Liu Xue hesitated for a moment and raised her question.

All sights landed upon Qin Feng while he was eating a meat jerky that tasted quite good, however it did not provide much energy and was only for his temporary fulfilment.

"What is it?" Qin Feng replied while he pulled out a strip and shared it with Bai Li, Bai Li stuck out her tongue after she took a bite.

"Spicy!"

Qin Feng chuckled and rubbed her head with his hand.

Liu Xue felt that she could no longer let out her words.

However, there was still doubt in her mind.

"Qin Feng, with your capability, you could have easily left, why would you not leave just now?"

During the battle that took place during midnight yesterday, the ten extremely skillful bombing shots from him had forced the beast king to retreat, and the scene was deeply imprinted into the minds of Wang Chen and two of the others.

Until the next day, those who had witnessed the scene had even taken recordings of Qin Feng.

All of them thought that it would be very easy for Qin Feng to leave.

However, Qin Feng did the opposite and he had even come back.

They thought that Qin Feng had a crush on the beautiful Liu Xue, however, from what had happened, that seemed to be an invalid assumption!

Qin Feng looked toward the crowd.

All of them were carefully observing him.

They were glad that Qin Feng was powerful, and at the same time, they also had fear within them!

They were afraid that they would be left with no support after Qin Feng had left!

Suddenly, an idea struck Qin Feng.

"Let's assume that this is an appreciation for Uncle Liu who has taken the risk to make the Verdant Emperor Saber for me!" Qin Feng replied.

Uncle Liu did not demand for any compensation when he made the Verdant Emperor Saber, furthermore, he could have remained within the safe basement and waited for aid to arrive, it was Qin Feng who had exposed him to the risk when he brought him outside.

Liu Zhenshan was touched by the reason behind it and felt a little embarrassed.

"No, Qin Feng, you are the one who has brought my daughter back, and I have yet to thank you for that, I could not be more thankful for your help!" Liu Zhenshan replied.

Qin Feng muttered for a short while as he did not know how to reply, and he continued with his point, "Other than this, I do have a colony that requires talents of all sorts, and I would like to recruit Uncle Liu that is well equipped with his skills!"

At that moment, not only Liu Zhenshan, the others were all shocked!

A colony?

Wouldn't that be similar to Shi Tianhai?

It would indeed be seen as inappropriate by others for him to recruit from other colonies, however, Liu Zhenshan's skills were only average and Liu Xue was the reason behind his achievements.

What had Qin Feng seen in Liu Zhenshan?

It had caught everyone by surprise!

However, Qin Feng was firm in his judgement.

Liu Zhenshan's skills were only average?

In reality, it was Liu Zhenshan that had been used to the simple way of life for him and his family, and did not push himself for any improvements. If he were to leave Han Town, losing both his daughter and Qiao Yan, he would then seek to become stronger and might even grow into a highly skilled rune equipment master.

It was the opportunity and willingness to improve that were lacking in Liu Zhenshan.

"Well…" Liu Zhenshan was left speechless!

"Uncle Liu, the situation has changed for the fallen Han Town, and it will not be the same even if there were another replacement of space stabilizing device, and there will not be much room for development, why not leave with me, and I will fulfil all of your will, including wealth, and safety for your entire life!"

Liu Zhenshan was magically intrigued with Qin Feng's speech.

Although Liu Zhenshan could not figure out the reason, he had a very good impression toward the young Qin Feng since they met each other, it was as if both of them had known each other for years and he was a trustworthy person to him.

"Liu, why are you still hesitating, I do agree with Brother Qin!" Qiao Yan urged on.

If Qin Feng did not have his answer now, he might even leave immediately with frustration, who else would be left to provide protection for them?

Furthermore, Qin Feng was right about what he said.

Liu Zhenshan took the offer and nodded firmly, "Brother Qin, I will honour your high hopes on me, and from now on, I will serve you with all I can!"

Qin Feng let out a smile and replied, "Uncle Liu, I was not asking for that much, but I am glad that you can come with me!"

Qin Feng felt even more assured now that he had a partner that he had before his rebirth.

He had wanted change on some of the things, however, fate was not in favour for him, just like Zhou Hao.

He had also wanted some of the things to remain, as those were the inseparable close ties that he had from the past, just like Liu Zhenshan.

Now, everything has developed for the better.

"Well, Qin Feng, are you going to lead us away from here now?" Liu Xue forced herself to ask.

Qin Feng replied without putting much thought to it, "I'll leave it to Uncle Liu to decide!"

Liu Zhenshan replied spontaneously, "Qin Feng, you had a long night of battle, let's rest for now and leave that for later!"

Indeed, Qin Feng was exhausted from the battle that he had with the beast king.

Whether he was an A-tier ability user or an F-tier before he was reborned, it would be equally taxing for him to challenge a beast king or a beast general.

"Alright!"

Qin Feng agreed, after he had something to eat, he found a spot for him to rest, it was in the hotel right in front that provided a comfortable resting place with a few mattresses.

Xiao Bai lay down beside Qin Feng and wrapped herself around him as she slept together with him.

The others were afraid that they would disturb the both of them who were asleep together and went to another room.

After about two hours of sleep, Qin Feng was awakened by a sudden scream!

Qin Feng opened his eyes and observed the surroundings carefully, he expanded his consciousness to check if there were any danger.

In the next moment, Qin Feng frowned!

Chapter 117:

Ruthless

Qin Feng was able to sense from his conscious energy that the scream came from the basement.

It was from those people that were brought along by Liu Xue.

They were all running out together, and the reason was unknown. When Qin Feng met with Liu Xue to bring her back, he had already encountered some plow worms and killed them, yet, it was obvious that that was not all of them.

The people that ran out had caught the attention of the plow worms, therefore, the unfortunate ones were hunted down and eaten by the plow worms!

While the people were screaming and hiding, Qin Feng had felt the same presence from his conscious energy.

Liu Xue!

"Sight" from conscious energy represented perception!

Being an F-tier, Liu Xue had a different level of physical sturdiness and conscious energy fluctuation from the others, therefore, Qin Feng could easily recognize her within a short time.

Qin Feng's expression instantly reflected that something bad was about to happen.

Apart from Liu Xue, he was able to sense the presence of another beast general plow worm!

"Jeez! Why can't things go right for once?"

Qin Feng immediately opened the door.

At the same time, He Ling and the others were also standing in front of the door and not knowing whether or not to knock on Qin Feng's door.

"Mr. Qin!" He Ling was delighted and looked at Qin Feng. "It is Liu Xue that…"

"I'm aware!" Qin Feng frowned and asked with an irritated voice, "What is she doing down there?"

Wang Chen immediately continued, "We were discussing about leaving as soon as you are awake, however, it seems that Liu Xue has passed on the news to the others, and many of the survivors nearby are heading toward us, as they thought that it would be more advantageous by combining forces with us during our breakout!"

Qin Feng reacted with a sneer.

"Combining forces? Aren't they afraid of being eaten up by the worms?"

Some of them were aptitude users while some of them were merely ordinary people.

It was not that Qin Feng was not willing to save them but he did not like being forced to do something.

"That was why Liu Xue went down? Does she have an excessive sense of righteousness or what?"

He Ling and Zhao Xiang were unable to answer Qin Feng's questions. They themselves disagreed with Liu Xue's decision to go down, hence, they did not follow her. However, they realized that it was also inappropriate for them to ignore and not save Liu Xue.

Wang Chen added on promptly, "That's right, waiters from the hotel told me that those are the uncivilized people that came later and disrespected the Liu family after they have arrived. They know who owns the place, yet they are so shameless to the point where they want Liu Xue to rescue them now!"

"It's because they are all wealthy people!"

Qin Feng replied without any emotions.

Liu Xue was one of them when the crowd escaped from Central Square, and most of them in that crowd were influential people that sounded arrogant by nature. This kind of behavior and attitude stemmed from the thinking that they were not like the poor.

Those that were poor would not speak to Liu Xue in that manner.

While Liu Xue might seem arrogant from her behaviour, she was actually excessively compassionate to the others with her empathy and desire to help others, which was why those people had requested that Liu Xue go and bring them along.

"Then, Mr. Qin, should we still rescue Liu Xue?" He Ling asked.

Whereas, Wang Chen said, "I do think that Liu Xue would be able to handle it herself and she does not need us, we would not want to be involved in it although there might be more casualties without our aid!"

Wang Chen might have sounded selfish with his thoughts, however, it was the best option for the moment.

As Han Town had already fallen and was facing difficulties in sustaining itself, there should be no other resources to provide aid for the others.

Furthermore, Qin Feng might be very capable in battle, however, would that be enough? It would always be easier to kill than to save others, and Qin Feng might not even be able to cope with it!

"The situation would be even more dire if I choose not to go, however, with her behaviour, she could only be in logistics once she has joined my colony!"

Qin Feng was extremely agitated by the situation.

He went along the safe passage and arrived at the basement, there were more than twenty of them that were in the chaos, joined by three plow worms, while another plow worm beast general was wreaking havoc amidst the crowd.

Although the plow worms might seem to be large in size, however, they were merely G5-tier.

Qin Feng was still low in attack power as he had just woken up, yet he was still able to kill a G3-tier razor-fang infant with his calm and coordinated moves.

The large number of people, combined with the rebirth of Qin Feng, if a G5-tier plow worm were to be surrounded by five people, Liu Xue would be able to go for an easily secured kill.

However, all of them were scattered and had run as far as they could, while one of them that was being chased by the plow worm was running toward Liu Xue and intended to divert the plow worm to chase after her.

At that moment, Liu Xue was caught in an inseparable battle with a G8-tier beast general.

Obviously, the beast general was unable to take her down as she was a full tier higher than her opponent, and she just needed a little more time and she would eventually take down and kill the beast.

Qin Feng stood at the entrance of the safe passage without any emotions while he raised up the energy gun in his hand.

Poof!

A blue light ray appeared along with an explosion and hit onto one of the people who was escaping.

"Ahh!"

A miserable scream was heard before the person fell on the ground.

Immediately, a plow worm rushed forward and devoured the human into its stomach with its mouth opened wide.

Then, the plow worm twisted its body and penetrated back into the ground.

One human was enough to keep the plow worm satisfied, it would then move to a safe place to swallow its food.

Furthermore, the plow worm would not dare to stay near any longer as ultra beasts would be fearful toward the presence of Qin Feng, they would immediately escape!

Liu Xue was still caught in a battle as she saw the movements from Qin Feng, her eyes immediately widened like she wanted to say something.

However, she did not have enough time to say anything to Qin Feng and could only increase the speed of her hand movements.

"Ice Palm!"

A palm that was icy cold hit onto the body of the plow worm.

Liu Xue performed a deadly hit and continued to release her internal strength.

"Frozen Ice!"

A big patch of white ice had frozen the body of the plow worm!

"Ice break!" the plow worm took another hit from the palm and its frozen body shattered into pieces, the beast general plow worm had died!

Before Liu Xue could gather up the loot, she turned around and looked at Qin Feng with anger.

"What were you doing, why would you harm that person!"

"Why would I harm that person?" Qin Feng looked at Liu Xue. "Don't you know what he was about to do?"

Liu Xue was well aware of it!

Although it might be seen as inappropriate at that moment, he was just an ordinary human being that was trying to save himself.

"That could never justify sending him to his death. Furthermore, if you intend to help, shouldn't you just take a shot at the plow worm and kill it instead? Why would you kill that person, do you know that this would be equivalent to killing the innocent? You might even be charged at court for this!"

Qin Feng let out a sneer. "The court, who would put a charge on me, would it be you? With your position as the leader of the patrol team that has already been demolished? You should mind your own business!"

Liu Xue was being insulted directly by Qin Feng, and she could feel that her cheeks had turned red.

"You are acting inhumane!"

Qin Feng looked at Liu Xue in disdain.

"Being humane and allowing the people around you to set you onto the path toward death?"

At that moment, those that had run away had returned, and there were five deaths from the battle earlier on, while the lucky ones that had survived looked at Qin Feng with fear.

All of them had witnessed the scene earlier!

Qin Feng looked at them without any emotions and pointed his energy gun at them.

Chapter 118: An Implied Warning

"I don't know how you all forced Liu Xue to come back for you but with this kind of behaviour, I would assume that your secondary mandatory education has been wasted! If you don't know how to use a gun, then you run for your life. If you don't even know how to do that properly, your ending would be the same as his!"

Qin Feng pointed his energy gun toward the giant hole where the plow worm had just left.

"I'm not an aptitude user from Han Town, and I don't have the responsibility to protect all of you. For those who are going to continue acting greedy for their own survival and not care about the big picture, be prepared to be fed to the worms, you'd be doing us a favor since everyone would be safe once the worms are well fed!"

Qin Feng sounded very harsh with his words.

The shot that was fired earlier was actually an implied warning to the others!

Those who were observing were frightened.

They found out that the escape would be led by Qin Feng moving forward, he did not have much compassion and was different from Liu Xue.

However, the people had seen hope from his capability earlier.

Liu Xue seemed to be in disagreement while tears had already rounded the rim of her eyes, her body was trembling!

Qin Feng did not have any compassion for them.

"And you, do you think that you are invincible just because you are an aptitude user? Stop seeking for your own death, or else, I will stop rescuing you. I only came down here because I respect Uncle Liu!"

Qin Feng turned around and left after saying so.

The others saw the situation and immediately followed Qin Feng, none of them went to comfort Liu Xue!

Liu Xue looked as if she were lost as she looked up to the sky with tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

'Was I wrong?'

Was it wrong for her to save the others? Why would this happen to her?

"Do you wanna die? Why are you not following?" Qin Feng roared in anger from the front.

Immediately, Liu Xue reacted and followed up as she did not even have time to address her sad emotions.

Qin Feng was irritated as he frowned deeply.

"What a maverick, such a busybody!"

Qin Feng ignored Liu Xue and continued to walk toward the forge with an agitated expression.

There were about fifteen people that were following Qin Feng, and the waiters from the hotel saw them as soon as they regrouped with Liu Zhenshan; and immediately, the waiters had on an irritated expression.

Qin Feng said, "Uncle Liu, distribute the weapons to them, ask them, if they are not good with guns, save the hassle and replace it with knives!"

Liu Zhenshan nodded. "Alright, you can be rest assured, I am aware of that!"

There were only three among them that were given guns by Liu Zhenshan, while his own staff were handed huge sized weapons as they were all familiar with weapons from their frequent visits to the equipment store.

Before Qin Feng even had time to rest, sounds of battle ensued once more.

It was from the front of the equipment store.

Obviously, as mentioned by Wang Chen, they were those that wanted to join the escape.

"All of you hold the defense here, and I will head out to scout!"

"Alright!"

"Mr. Qin, be careful!"

"Stay here, Bai Li! Liu Xue, follow me!" Qin Feng commanded.

"Ah! Alright!" Liu Xue followed Qin Feng although she could not understand the reason behind it.

Bai Li nodded and looked at the newcomers that had just joined. "All of you have an obvious smell that would be easily detected by the worms, you can either wash it off or apply some of the beast repelling powder!"

Those were none other than the smell of their excretions, it was because they had gone through the night in the underground basement that was in chaos and without any order; or else, they would not have heard about the news and thought of leaving the shelter.

After all, the underground basement was not like the public bunkers readily available under giant malls.

The people were furious and embarrassed as they looked at Bai Li, yet they were afraid to voice out against her.

From the video recordings yesterday, Bai Li did not fight during the battles; however, she was calm and coordinated during every escape or battle, as if she was used to it. Furthermore, she was Qin Feng's girlfriend; hence, all of the people were reluctant to go against Bai Li and could only adhere to the instruction of cleaning up and applying powder.

On the other hand, Qin Feng led Liu Xue through a corridor and was moving forward.

There were more than ten people in the equipment store, and among them, five were aptitude users with two F-tiers, and three G-tiers. The remaining ones were equipped with fire-fighting axes, knives, or guns.

At the moment, worms were being attracted into the store and they were engaged in a fierce and merciless battle.

A bloodthristy beetle flew over when Qin Feng appeared.

Bam!

A strong blue beam was projected from the energy gun held by Qin Feng, and it pierced through the skull of the bloodthristy beetle, blasting it away.

All of the others were surprised and delighted when they saw Qin Feng.

"It's him!"

"Qin Feng!"

"And Leader Liu, we can now be saved!"

It was as if the crowd had encountered their saviours.

Qin Feng remained silent and raised his hand while a fire beam exploded and destroyed worms that were entering into the store within a split second.

Although it was their second visible encounter since last night, all of the people were still astonished by Qin Feng's ability.

"Qin Feng… ah, no, Mr. Qin, Han Town has fallen, let's break out together with all of our combined forces!" An F-tier approached Qin Feng with joy in his eyes. However, that person also came with other intentions.

Qin Feng ignored that person and looked at Liu Xue.

"How did they know my name!"

Liu Xue's face turned pale.

It was obviously her that had spread the news.

When Qin Feng was asleep earlier, being the leader of the patrol team, Liu Xue insisted on defending Han Town that had already fallen. She comforted the crowd and contacted the Coldstorm Battalion, now that they were about to attempt a breakout, Liu Xue also wanted to bring along the others.

Or else, how would these people come across Qin Feng's name!

However, after being scolded by Qin Feng, Liu Xue immediately felt guilty.

It was not a problem for Qin Feng to leave with her family.

However, how could he protect every one of these people?

Qin Feng knew what had happened just by looking at Liu Xue's expression, he laughed coldly, "My capability is only for my own use, and I hope you can remember that it should never be taken as your bargaining chip to convey your righteousness. I will take the lead to battle during this breakout, and I will only mind my own business where nobody can request for anything from me. You are not the saviour nor am I a hero, do you understand me?"

Qin Feng's warning served as a means to obtain the commanding authority from Liu Xue.

Afterall, these people only knew Liu Xue and respected her more than they did Qin Feng.

Qin Feng did not want any of them to have the impression that he was just a pawn that could be easily ordered around to lead any battle.

Liu Xue immediately hung her head low and replied, "I understand!"

Only then, Qin Feng acknowledged the few people that had just been rescued.

After the conversation, the once delighted group became solemn as they realized that Qin Feng was not all happy about the idea of saving them.

Chapter 119: Breakout Route

Qin Feng was being honest with them.

"I wanted to break out previously but I didn't plan on bringing too many people. You people are no different than grubs in the eyes of those insectoids. Having so many bug feed moving at the same time would attract the attention of those insectoids and I hope you are mentally prepared for that. The Coldstorm Battalion has assembled, my advice for you is to stay and wait for rescue!"

"If we wanted to stay, we wouldn't have come here… Qin… Mr. Qin, I hope you can bring us along!"

One of the F-tier aptitude users started changing his tone. He did not dare to directly address Qin Feng by his name.

At one glance, Qin Feng could see that they were begging him.

"Listen to my orders then!"

Qin Feng got them to go to the back and wait for the others.

"Send out a message to everyone you know. We will attempt a breakout in one hour. Follow this route!" Qin Feng opened a map of Han Town from his communication device. He drew a route and passed it on to Liu Xue.

At first, when she saw the route, Liu Xue was a bit skeptical. But moments later, her eyes lit up.

"You're going to the orphanage? Do you plan to save those kids?"

Qin Feng answered calmly, "Why else would I take this route?"

The conditions of the orphanage in Han Town was not much better than Chengbei colony's. In fact, it was much worse. The road leading to the orphanage was very narrow, and it was a far off distance from the two town gates. Going there was an inconvenience.

But this would mean that Qin Feng had to take a detour before being able to escape from the town!

Still, Qin Feng wanted to go there.

Children were the future of this world. Qin Feng himself was an orphan. He knew the helplessness felt by the orphans. If he did not rescue them, no one would.

Moreover, they were the most vulnerable group.

For a moment there, Liu Xue's feelings were rather jumbled up.

"I thought that you did not like to help people and treat them as a burden!" said Liu Xue.

"You thought correctly; they are a burden!"

Qin Feng was referring to those who were underground.

However, Liu Xue obviously misunderstood him. She was no longer afraid of Qin Feng. She even thought that Qin Feng's stern appearance was but a mask to conceal his true, kind self.

"Thank you so much, Qin Feng!" Liu Xue was grateful.

Qin Feng felt that Liu Xue had misunderstood something, but he did not care to explain.

More people started to make their way over in the next hour.

Furthermore, some even messaged saying that they would wait along the route for Qin Feng's team.

But those who were far away from them started crying for help. They were hoping that Qin Feng and his men would go to their locations, but Qin Feng ignored them all!

Luckily, Liu Xue was not foolish enough to announce the details of Qin Feng's communication device. Qin Feng would have strangled her to death.

But now, Liu Xue was put in a bind!

"Time's up! Get ready to depart!" Qin Feng gave the order.

Within the hour, two hundred people had reached Qin Feng's location. They were all from around there. There were even people who were hiding inside their hotel rooms that were not found by the bloodthirsty beetles.

Hence, there were quite a number of people who could fight in the team. There were a total of thirteen F-tier aptitude users and thirty over G-tier aptitude users. The rest were common folks!

But that would be sufficient!

"Ten people in one group, each F-tier aptitude user will take three G-tiers and seven civvies with you!"

Qin Feng gave the order.

It was a matter of life and death. The people were fast to move.

The thirteen F-tier aptitude users received the order from Qin Feng. They went on to pick their team members.

But of course, if fights were to break out later, they would not be able to take care of all of them. If the civilians could not keep up with them, that would be their fate.

"I'm only going to say this once. Later when more people join our group, be sure to maintain formation. Aptitude users should form an outside perimeter while the civvies stay inside. I will only be killing the beast soldiers, generals, or a large batch of F-tier insectoids. Keep all your mouths shut, do not scream or yell! If you can't do it, tape your mouth!"

Although Qin Feng was stern in his speech, it was for their own good.

One of the mothers asked for tape to seal her daughter's mouth before doing hers. Her eyes were filled with determination.

They could not stay here; they had to break out.

Qin Feng took a glance at that mother. He then pointed at her. "You're in my team!"

The mother was startled as she obviously did not think that Qin Feng would choose her. After all, Qin Feng was the most powerful existence in the whole group.

Other than Qin Feng, there were Wang Chen, Liu Zhenshan, his wife, four storekeepers, and the pair of mother and daughter. There were ten people in the group.

As for why there were two F-tier aptitude users in the group, it was because of Liu Zhenshan and his wife. Qin Feng could not allow any harm to come to them.

"Let's go!"

Qin Feng raised his hand. He led the charge out of the hotel.

The surrounding insectoids had been cleared by Qin Feng. It was safe to go outside.

But one or two insectoids that popped up were quickly decimated by the rest of the people.

As long as it was not some kind of unanticipated event, aptitude users were, after all, aptitude users. Their level of strength was enough to handle the current situation.

However, in moments of retreat, there were bound to be accidents. Death or injury was inevitable.

Buzz!

A group of black insectoids appeared from a corner. It was the infamous bloodthirsty beetle.

These beetles could reach up to F-tier. They were also capable of flying. They could smell the scent of fresh blood from a kilometer away.

Those who were wounded in the battlefield were like delicacies giving off a great aroma. The group beetles swarmed at them.

There were almost thirty over beetles in the swarm. The insectoid that led the charge was a bloodthirsty beetle beast general that stood at two meters tall. There were also three one point five meter tall beast soldiers among their ranks.

No matter the beasts, once they got to a certain level, their strength and speed would increase dramatically. They were no match for an ordinary human being.

The one point five meter tall insectoid was almost the same size as a human. They had the power to deliver an instant kill on an F-tier aptitude user.

Qin Feng was riding on the umbra stallion. He placed his hand on the handle of the saber on his waist and unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber!

The sword gave out a mesmerizing golden shine. A huge burst of flame followed immediately.

The umbra stallion leapt into the sky as if it were hovering midair to meet the bloodthirsty beetle beast general.

Slash!

At the draw of the sword, the indestructible Verdant Emperor Sword carried a fiery glitter with it and chopped toward the insectoid. Before the beast general could react, it had already been sliced into two by Qin Feng.

Another cross slash by Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber!

"Blooming Flame!"

The fire opened up into a fan shape, sucking up the bloodthirsty beetles that were in mid-air.

The burnt bloodthirsty beetle let out an agonizing buzz. In an instant, they were turned into char and fell out from the sky.

Qin Feng attacked once again. After a few more times, the swarm of pursuing bloodthirsty beetles had been reduced by half!

A few of the beetles charged into the crowd to evade Qin Feng's attacks. A moment of chaos ensued among the crowd. Luckily, the beetles were quickly slain by the F-tier aptitude users.

As such, the team continued to move forward.

But there were too many insectoids. They had only managed to cross three streets in one hour. Normally, it would only take ten minutes.

Chapter 120: A Bloody Path

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Along the path, there were people who joined the group. In the buildings on both sides of the street, people were even waving at them with bedsheets.

"Save me! Help! There are insectoids below us, we can't get out!"

"Don't go, why are you leaving!"

"Bastard, are you just going to leave us to die?"

When they saw that Qin Feng's team did not stop for them but were charging ahead, their eyes were filled with despair. They threw stuff down from the building angrily, wishing that they would die.

Even Liu Xue's communication device was damaged!

She was helpless.

Wang Chen was escorting Liu Zhenshan and his wife. They were quite close to where Liu Xue was.

"If it were me I would've destroyed the communication device, or I might end up dead from all the distraction. I've saved you once pretty girl! Don't kill me now…" Wang Chen complained.

Liu Xue's face was pale. She forced a smile. "Thank you!"

"No need, just stay out of trouble. These people need your protection. It's impossible for our team to clear the buildings. If they don't even have the courage to come down then it's out of our hands as well!"

As Wang Chen spoke, he saw a few kids throwing down bedsheets from a building above. The children were climbing down the bedsheets. A swarm of beetles flew toward them, wishing to consume their tender, young flesh.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Wang Chen fired his gun and obliterated the bugs instantly to aid the children's escape.

When the city had fallen, only the brave could survive.

Qin Feng was clearing the path up ahead. He frowned as he came to a street.

"Prepare to detour!"

Qin Feng said in a low voice.

They came to a market in Han Town. There was a constant supply of meat and vegetables in the market. The market contained a large cache of food. When the town fell, the insectoids gathered here at this place. The market was now the insectoid's hive.

Furthermore, it was a hive for the ant insectoids.

The blacksteel ants were twenty centimeters in length. Their chitins were similar to steel. There were almost tens of thousands of them around. Qin Feng did not plan to alarm these bugs.

Qin Feng led the group away from the hive. But obviously, it was rare to have so many food show up. The ants were not planning on letting Qin Feng and the group go.

"Run away, Xiao Bai, clear a path for us ahead!" Qin Feng yelled. He let the group escape first.

"Right! You guys come with me!" Bai Li was like a demanding queen. She flew ahead instantly. Some of the fearless insectoids appeared in front of her.

Bai Li raised her hand. Before the crowd could notice anything, a white light flashed past their eyes. The insectoids had been sliced in half!

Her fingernails were all it took to deal with creatures of this level. She did not need the space blade.

Even the F-tier ancient warriors thought that Bai Li was using some kind of claw technique. Although they were rare, there were still people who practiced the skill.

Qin Feng who was riding on top of the umbra stallion leapt over the crowd and went to the back of the line. The large army of blacksteel ants had reached them.

The last in line was instantly attacked.

Ka-chak!

A blacksteel ant chomped on the person's leg with its sharp mandibles.

"Arghh!"

The man wailed in agony. He had lost a tiny piece of flesh from his feet that had on a pair of slippers.

The pain slowed him down. More and more ants were surrounding him.

Like a black tsunami, the man was consumed and he fell onto the ground. Within the surging black wave, the man's struggling body turned into a skeleton in an instant!

Such was the terror of a bug wave!

Qin Feng took a deep breath and his consciousness level drastically expanded.

"Carpet Hellfire!"

Phwooh…

A fierce patch of scarlet flame appeared in front of Qin Feng. The flame covered an area like a rug.

Be it the fire that had torched the insectoids within the hotel or the hellfire that consumed the whole street on the previous day, Hellfire had evolved along with Qin Feng's gradual mastery of the ability. It had now developed into a powerful new ability.

Carpet Hellfire was the official name given by Qin Feng.

Like a carpet from hell, the blacksteel ants were like walking over hellfire. They were torched by the flame and perished instantly.

Carpet Hellfire spanned for fifty meters, putting the street into a lockdown. Fifty meters away, even the legion of blacksteel ants did not dare to give chase.

Qin Feng saw that there were some other items on the street that would fuel his flames. If he did not collect back his fire runes, the flame could still last for another five minutes. It was enough to stop the blacksteel ant army.

He quickly rode his umbra stallion to get ahead of the team.

Once again, a gigantic creature blocked the path of the team.

It was the double-headed steel-back snail that Qin Feng had encountered before when he was about to escape.

The crowd's terror level reached its peak when they saw the humongous creature.

Even the F-tier aptitude users were scared to go ahead. There were panicked looks in their eyes, as if they were waiting for Qin Feng to return.

Splash!

A wave of liquid had sealed off the path.

The crowd retreated frantically.

It was a steel-back snail's ability that was strongly corrosive. The effect of coming into contact with the liquid was similar to touching a strong acid!

Only Bai Li remained fearless.

The one who should be scared was the double-headed steel-back snail instead. After all, Bai Li was a real beast king.

But then again, the double-headed steel-back snail was an insectoid with low intelligence. It was only capable of taking orders. It had no idea how terrifying Bai Li was and that she had concealed her aura.

Bai Li strutted ahead and stepped over the liquid.

The people up front looked on anxiously.

"Be careful, that's a beast general!"

"Ahh! She's gonna die, shouldn't we be helping!"

"That's Mr. Qin's girlfriend!"

As the crowd contemplated, Bai Li had already raised both her hands. The white light flashed past them once again.

Bzzzt!

Blood spattered outward as the steel-back snail's severed head rolled down the ground.

Bai Li reached out her finger and slashed across the top portion of the two severed heads. She collected the water-elemental ability core before moving forward.

The crowd who saw the scene in front stared ahead blankly.

A black figure went past them at that moment. Qin Feng had already reached their side.

"What are you standing around for, go now! Are you going to feed the bugs?"

After being yelled at by Qin Feng, the team started running once again.

They used to think that Han Town was tiny in the past. It was no bigger than the size of a palm with crowded streets and enclosed roads.

Now, they felt that Han Town was huge!

They were only halfway to their destination after moving for three hours, and Qin Feng departed at one in the afternoon. After the three hours, the crowd was hungry and tired. If they were to continue moving at this pace, the casualties would be much larger.

"Here! Get into this mall!"

The mall was a large market built in the slums. Now, instead of two hundred people, there were five to six hundred people who had joined Qin Feng's exodus.

Chapter 121: Something Fishy in the Underground Bunker

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the group grew larger, it became more chaotic and bloated as well. They attracted more insectoids wherever they went.

Time for a cull!

Qin Feng was the first to break into the mall.

The market was in a mess. There were signs of insectoids inhabiting the place.

It was the knife-edge mantis!

The mantes possessed sharp scythes as their front limbs. Even the glass and steel doors were unable to prevent them from marching in. The mantes did not live in packers however, and were much easier to clean up.

The large group entered the mall and started to get busy. They sealed off all ventilation shafts and windows to form a defense perimeter!

They finally had time to catch their breaths!

There were large quantities of food within the mall. They ate without holding themselves back.

Although it was merely the second day of the doomsday, these people feasted as if they had not eaten anything for a week.

The psychological stress had taken a great toll on them.

Quite a number of them were crying. Some of them were even cursing. The whole crowd in the mall became rowdy.

Bam!

Qin Feng's gunshot sounded off once again. But it was not his energy weapon, it was his pistol.

"Looks like you guys haven't had enough, would you like to try living in the ends of time once again?" Qin Feng's eyes swept coldly at these people.

The crowd turned silent instantly.

In a cold voice, Qin Feng continued, "If you can't hold it in then use the communicator. The rest of you, shut your mouth! Liu Xue, tally them up and divide them into groups!"

"Okay!" Liu Xue hurriedly stood up and began counting the number of people.

Five hundred people was not that many, but it was not considered little as well. If it were a middle school, thirty people would make up a class. These people would just make up eighteen classes.

But in such a situation, if chaos were to erupt among these eighteen classes, the only thing that would await them was to be turned into bug feed.

Qin Feng was not asking them to restrict their movements, but he did not want them to give him any more trouble.

After that, he went up to the roof of the mall.

Wang Chen was already waiting there.

"Boss!"

Wang Chen called out to him. After dividing into groups, Wang Chen had been by Qin Feng's side. To get closer to Qin Feng, he no longer addressed Qin Feng as Mr. Qin.

"How's it looking!"

"Some of the insectoids have either heard or smelled our presence. They're congregating toward our position. If we don't clean them up, there would be more of them coming." Wang Chen explained.

Wang Chen as a gunner could also perform some surveillance and patrol duties other than offering long-range firepower support.

Just now, he had already climbed up to the top floor and surveyed their surroundings!

Qin Feng nodded and walked toward a window. He observed his surroundings using his sniper rifle before looking at the rift.

The rift that was left untouched was like a giant gaping mouth hole of a terrifying large beast. It could swallow up the whole of Han Town at any moment.

Qin Feng knew that more and more insectoids would pour down from the rifts. It would become unstoppable.

"Let's not worry about that first!" Qin Feng said.

"Yeah, but boss, there are too many people breaking out from here with us! If you're still going to save the kids, we better be prepared!"

Unlike the adults, the children over at the orphanage were a pitiful existence that was completely powerless.

"I know, I'll be moving out tonight!"

Wang Chen nodded without saying anything else.

However, things would not stop moving just like that. Although there were quite a number of people who were breaking out from the zone, almost five hundred in number, the casualties along the way were not little as well. Some of the civilians were already panicking.

When Qin Feng returned to the ground floor, Liu Xue was quick to meet up with him.

"Qin Feng, some of the civilians no longer wish to break through the encirclement with us. There's a large underground bunker here that can take in two thousand people, we should let them hide inside. We'll get them out when the Coldstorm Battalion comes in to reclaim the lost lands!"

They were the ones who wanted to break out from the encirclement. Now, they were scared for their own lives. Perhaps they would only understand the gravity of the situation when death comes knocking.

Qin Feng did not reject their decisions.

"Whatever you say then. How many of them want to stay? Get a quick count and we'll leave right now. When night falls it'll be harder to get them moving!"

"Yes, I've tallied up the numbers. About two hundred!"

"Ask them to pack their stuff, get them underground in ten minutes!"

"Yes!"

Liu Xue quickly replied before letting them pack their items.

Although there were supplies within every underground bunker, the crowd still filled up their bags found from the mall with food and water. They carried their puffed up bags and gathered round.

Qin Feng led these people safely through the underground car park. There, they found a large steel gate.

"Please open the gate, there are no more insectoids outside. We are seeking refuge inside!"

Liu Xue called out.

There was actually a communicator outside the steel gate to prevent people from being accidentally sealed inside.

In a short while, a voice came out from within the gates.

"There's no more room here, you'll have to go elsewhere!"

The crowd who followed Qin Feng and Liu Xue was enraged.

"On whose authority? This is a public facility of Han Town, why can't we get in!"

"How could there be two thousand people inside, bullshit!"

"What's going on!"

Liu Xue too was furious.

"How could you be so selfish, did you think we can't go in just like that?"

Liu Xue's communication just now was merely a formality.

There was an emergency protocol built in in public facilities such as this to prevent insiders from stopping other people from getting in. Of course, to prevent others from being scapegoats, not everyone could trigger the protocol.

Liu Xue slammed her palm on the side of the gate. A screen appeared. Liu Xue entered a string of codes without hesitation.

But Qin Feng suddenly stopped her.

"Did you leak the news about us going into the mall previously?" asked Qin Feng.

Liu Xue nodded. Slightly embarrassed, she said, "Although we have switched routes and have stopped here, there could be more people who would want to join us in the evening. Moreover, we have caused quite a commotion along the way. They should be able to hear us!"

"So, is there anyone in the underground bunker who wishes to join us?"

"Erm, there's none!"

"Not even one?" Qin Feng began to smile coldly. There must be something fishy going on here. "Open the door then!"

The code that Liu Xue had entered just now was interrupted by Qin Feng. Luckily, there were three chances.

Once again, Liu Xue entered a series of codes. Qin Feng hit the final confirmation button. A buzzing alarm sounded from the gate.

"Make way!"

Qin Feng waved his hand and signalled for the civilians who followed him to stay back.

Qin Feng's question just now had alerted the already startled crowd. After one whole day of surviving in such dire conditions, the crowd was already quick on their toes. After Qin Feng gave the order, the crowd dispersed and stayed away from the gates!

After the gate opened up by more than half a meter, the dark barrel of a machine gun emerged and fired away underneath the dimmed lights.

Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta!

A hail of bullets began to pour.

Report chapter

Chapter 122: Grimy Side of the End Times

The hail of bullets was nothing to a powerful ancient warrior.

Furthermore, Qin Feng was an ability user.

His consciousness was locked on to the bullets. They were not guided by a gunner's consciousness.

They were just an ordinary outpour of bullets that had no consciousness attached to them. What an utter waste.

But for Qin Feng, the act was similar to suicide.

"Negate!"

He injected his consciousness into the bullets and controlled them remotely. The bullets turned around.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

The bullets hit the shooters. A wail of agonizing pain came out from within.

But there were also sounds of people drawing their sword to block off the bullets.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The speed of the bullets was not that fast. These people were able to shield themselves from the bullets. Their reflexes were pretty agile.

It was like how Qin Feng used to parry the bullets with his Verdant Emperor Saber when he fought with He Li.

At this moment however, the gate had been completely opened up. Within their sights, other than seven or eight corpses that were lying on the floor, there were three other ancient warriors who were wielding weapons.

These ancient warriors had the capabilities of an F-tier.

"You've got a deathwish!"

"Let's do this together!"

"Kill him!"

The trio's eyes were filled with a murderous intent.

But compared to Qin Feng, they were too weak!

"Burning Sword Glare!"

Qin Feng swung his Verdant Emperor Saber. The area was enveloped by the glaring reflection of the flaming sword before the trio was knocked back by his slash.

"Arghh!!!"

Qin Feng closely followed the trio who had been knocked back into the underground bunker.

Under the dimmed emergency lights, Qin Feng was able to see what had transgressed in the underground bunker. His pupils suddenly dilated before he shifted his eyes away from the scene.

Qin Feng stepped out from the room.

"Liu Xue, you should go in and console them!" said Qin Feng.

Liu Xue did not understand what he meant. But when she entered and saw what was going on inside, her eyes widened.

"Animals!"

There were only about a hundred or more people in the spacious underground bunker. However, almost a hundred of them were clustered in an area. There were twenty over young girls whose clothes were tattered. They were dazedly lying down on the cold surface of the floor. It did not take much imagination to know what they had gone through.

There was also a pile of corpses in a corner of the room. Within a day, the corpses were already giving out a terrible stench.

Liu Xue quickly went over. She found the girls' clothes and quickly helped them to dress up.

"You… are you here to save us?" One of the girls' stammered, her eyes filled with intense hate.

Liu Xue did not know how to answer her!

"Yes, we're sorry, we were late!" Liu Xue replied with remorse.

She did not even know what had transpired here.

After the girls had put on their clothes, Qin Feng looked at the other hundred people. There were adult men and women in the group. There was guilt written all over their faces as they cowered in silence. They did not even make a sound after Qin Feng had come in with so many people.

In one day, the whole world had seemingly collapsed.

"What happened here?" Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

The previous girl raised her head and looked at Qin Feng. Qin Feng was the first to enter. Although he did not kill the three F-tier ancient warriors, he had severely wounded them.

"It's them! It's them!" The girl gritted her teeth. "We were hiding in the underground bunker last night, they came and harassed us. My classmates came to stop them, but they were all killed by them, they deserve death, death!"

The girl weeped as she spoke. The other girls who were numb at first cried out as well.

The large mall did not only sell groceries. There were clothing and accessory shops as well as a cinema and karaoke center at the top floor. It was a large department store.

The girl had only been injected with the awakening potion early this year. She was a highschool graduate like Qin Feng. After the graduation, she had a gathering with her classmates. As it was a holiday, everyone got together to have a singing session. When everything started falling apart, they went into the bunker in an orderly fashion!

But no one would have guessed that this was the beginning of a nightmare.

As F-tier ancient warriors, the scene was all too familiar. Status came with strength. Including the people that they had rescued along the way, they had become kingpins of the bunker.

They molested one of the students who was good-looking. Some of the students who had been injected by the awakening potion had their ancient warrior potential awakened. As they were young and hot-blooded, a fight quickly erupted.

The fight was more like a massacre!

After killing the newbies, these people became even more reckless.

"They deserve death?" Qin Feng appeared to be repeating the girl's voice.

She looked at Qin Feng. There were mixed feelings in her eyes.

They did not know how Qin Feng would handle this matter.

After all, aptitude users were the prized treasures of the colonies!

If it were not the end times, aptitude users could ask for a settlement by paying them off with an amount of money that was considered trivial to the aptitude users.

As she thought about this, the girl went into despair.

But at that moment, they suddenly heard Qin Feng's voice.

"As you wish!"

Although Qin Feng had knocked the three ancient warriors back, he did not kill them. He had only wounded them severely.

But right now, he was walking toward the injured trio without hesitation.

"What are you trying to do?" One of the F-tier ancient warriors put on a brave face.

"Mr. Qin! We did something wrong!"

They had seen videos of Qin Feng before. They knew how strong he was, but they thought that they would get lucky.

However, they were defeated the moment they met. It had crumbled whatsoever confidence they had.

It was hard to believe that this person could possess such powerful abilities.

Was he a gunner, or an ancient warrior, or an ability user?

No matter what he was, Qin Feng's abilities struck fear in them.

"Being sorry doesn't mean anything with mere words. I personally hate sand that get stuck in my eyes. If you're really sorry then pay the price!"

After saying so, Qin Feng swung his Verdant Emperor Saber. Another glaring flame ensued!

The glaring knife edge had sliced off his opponents' necks. Their severed heads rolled on the floor but no blood came out from the wound. They had all been turned into char.

Qin Feng charged up his Asteroid Assimilation. The three F-tier ancient warriors' internal energies were absorbed by Qin Feng instantly.

When they saw the scene, the girls who had been assaulted did not feel afraid at all. Instead, they felt much better!

Dead, these people who had abused them were dead!

"Are you going to break out of this encirclement with us, or do you want to remain here!" asked Qin Feng.

The girls went silent. Only the first girl asked him in a hoarse voice, "Will you protect us?"

"Only you can protect yourselves!"

Qin Feng raised his hand. He threw a pistol in front of her.

The girl stared at the pistol before clutching it tightly.

"I'm coming with you!"

At that moment, the girl realized something. She was never interested in killing before. But now, she was passionate.

Only by having power could she protect herself. The only person she could trust was herself!

Chapter 123: Aura of the Beast King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Perhaps it was because of what had transgressed in the underground bunker, some of the people who were with Qin Feng abandoned their wish to stay in the underground bunker. They had decided to break through the encirclement with them.

Among them were mostly young, beautiful women.

Qin Feng came down with two hundred people. But when he left, he brought an additional fifty people with him.

"Liu Xue, get them some clothes from the upper floors!"

Their clothes were tattered and could barely cover the important parts of their bodies. There were three or four hundred people in the mall right now and Qin Feng did not want any additional problems to arise!

Liu Xue nodded and took them for a change of clothes.

Luckily, the floors had been cleared by Qin Feng so nothing eventful happened to them.

Night had fallen and the smell of food was too intense around here. Insectoids had started to gather, and soon, the whole building was surrounded.

Qin Feng was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed as he meditated on his dantian.

His qi had increased after killing some people just now. Qin Feng used an absorption ability to harness the qi.

After the sparsely spread qi were absorbed by the veins in his body, the qi underwent a refinement process and quickly became part of Qin Feng's internal energy.

"The Asteroid Assimilation is getting stronger!"

Qin Feng could sense that as his internal energy increased, his Asteroid Assimilation skill was improving as well. He could feel a subtle field enveloping his body that was endlessly consuming the spirit aura from both heaven and earth.

The people that he had slain had been turned into a total of five qi clusters this time around. Including the previous ones, Qin Feng's internal energy qi clusters came to a total of fifty.

His internal energy had exceeded an F9-tier ancient warrior's by five times.

The internal energy was strong and came in an endless stream.

"Huff!"

Qin Feng exhaled once and opened his eyes.

At this moment, Bai Li was sitting beside him. She was so bored that she had started playing games on the communication device.

On the other side, about five meters away from him, a girl had appeared as well. It was the girl who had received Qin Feng's pistol in the underground bunker.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for what you did!" The girl was emotionally more stable now. Although her eyes were still swollen, her lips cracked, and her face bruised, her eyes were glimmering.

"I haven't introduced myself, I'm Shang Na!"

"Hi!" Qin Feng nodded. "I'm Qin Feng. This is my girlfriend, Bai Li!"

Bai Li raised her hand in acknowledgement. She continued to be engrossed in her game.

Shang Na smiled. "Your girlfriend is cute!"

Qin Feng gave an approving 'you've got good taste' look at Shang Na.

Shang Na was not trying to flatter Bai Li as Bai Li was really a perfect goddess that was impenetrable.

Her perfection had made Shang Na feel ashamed of herself.

"Our communication devices had been destroyed by those people yesterday, or we would have sent out word. I've heard about you from the team, you seem to be pretty strong! Bai Li as well!"

Perhaps she was afraid that Qin Feng would think that her words were meaningless so she paused for a moment before continuing, "I was injected with the awakening potion this year as well. On the fifth day, I was able to awaken the ancient warrior talent!"

Having an awakening on the fifth day meant that she had great potential!

Even Zhou Hao could only awaken after ten or more days.

But of course, it was one thing to have a natural talent. Aptitude was a whole other story.

Shang Na smiled bitterly. "I was afraid of danger and I didn't dare to go into battles. I never wanted to train, I was afraid of pain and injury, that's why I hid my own strengths. But now I realize how foolish I was!"

Such was the way of the world. There were people who could not get what they wanted even if they begged for it. But there were also people who did not appreciate what they could get easily.

"Qin Feng, I know that you are an ability user as well as a very powerful ancient warrior. Can I learn ancient martial arts from you? I've heard that you have a colony of your own!"

All these while, Qin Feng had been quietly listening to her. The girl had a terrible past. He even felt that without the awakening, the girl would have died in the city!

Qin Feng's act today had undoubtedly changed the history of Han Town.

Many people who were supposed to die were rescued.

Many people who could have lived died instead!

Qin Feng looked at Shang Na's determined pair of eyes. He then finally spoke.

"If you manage to get out from Han Town alive, you're welcomed in my colony!"

It meant that he did not reject Shang Na.

Shang Na was, of course, overjoyed!

"Thank you so much!"

She did not stay around and disturb Qin Feng. She needed to rest and fill herself up with food, or she would not be able to escape the next day.

Furthermore, she would have to defend herself with a gun.

After resting for a while, Qin Feng once again sprung into action!

Night was the best cover. It was also Qin Feng's domain.

As night befell the fallen city, the umbra stallion leapt silently into the building.

Qin Feng brought Bai Li along in the darkness.

This time around, they were not hunting for targets. Along the path, they did not attract the attention of any ultra beasts.

"Found it!"

It was an entrance to a transport hub.

To put it accurately, it was like a transport depot in Chengbei colony. Vehicles would depart from here. There were still about three trucks remaining.

Since these vehicles had to travel into the wilderness, the glasses were reinforced. There were also strut bars outside the truck and a machine gun on top.

Qin Feng leapt into the truck. There was no key inside, but it was not a difficult task for Qin Feng.

He tinkered around with the circuit and soon the truck came into life!

The insectoids naturally swarmed the truck as they heard the engine.

"Bai Li, scare them away with your aura!"

"Oh! That's a piece of cake!"

Bai Li channeled out her aura instantly. The insectoids could sense her beast king aura and retreated in fear.

After starting up the truck, Qin Feng towed another vehicle and headed straight for the orphanage.

After twenty minutes, the truck stopped outside the orphanage. The insectoids had been scared off by Bai Li's aura. Qin Feng focused his consciousness on the orphanage. There were no insectoids around, but there was no living person around as well.

Of course, it did not mean that everyone in the orphanage had already perished. On the contrary, they were unharmed and hidden in the basement.

Qin Feng could not care less about those people who cried for help in the communication device, but that did not mean that he was aloof. The orphanage in Han Town was tiny, there were only about a hundred over children inside. These two trucks were enough to carry them.

"Bai Li, can you leave your aura here to keep the insectoids from closing in?" Qin Feng asked.

What would she use to assert dominance in the area? The thought of what she might use made him feel rather devious!

Bai Li nodded.

"Okay!"

Hence, under the careful eyes of Qin Feng, Bai Li plucked some hair from her head that looked like a patch of beautiful fur.

"Huff!"

She blew the hair, scattering them across the trucks and the ground.

"With these fur, the insectoids wouldn't dare to close in!"

Qin Feng suddenly felt that he had been overthinking it.

"Let's go!"

He rode the umbra stallion and went back with Bai Li.

Chapter 124: Carpet Hellfire

There was not a single human soul out in the middle of night, but there were more and more insectoids gathering around the mall.

Even if there was beast repellent scattered about, the collective breaths of the people were still being dispersed. With adequate food around, it was a possibility that the insectoids wanted a full meal or to hunt to feed their offspring.

To leave them alone until morning would mean that the insectoids could break in at any moment and kill everyone.

Liu Xue and the others were patrolling vigilantly, looking through a small window.

"What should we do? Should we clear some out?" He Ling suggested nervously.

The people around him did not respond. Nobody knew what was the best course of action. Even Liu Xue would not dare give suggestions right now as the price of a wrong decision would be someone's life.

"Boss isn't back yet?" Wang Chen kept glancing at the communicator on his hand. He was looking at the time.

Wang Chen naturally had Qin Feng's communicator number, but things had not reached a critical moment just yet. If he rashly called Qin Feng, and ended up with nothing definitive, then it would only show that Wang Chen was not very useful.

So he endured on.

He could only wait for time to pass and hope that Qin Feng would return soon. It was not just him, those around him were also thinking the same thing.

"Why isn't Mr. Qin back yet?"

It had only been twelve hours and Qin Feng had become a pillar for these people to rely on. Without him, they would not have been able to hold out here, neither would they have had the confidence to escape.

"Beast general! There's another beast general!" Wang Chen quietly sounded out, with a trace of fear in his voice.

In the darkness, they could see the silhouette of a beast general knife-edge mantis.

Previously in the hotel lobby, a beast general knife-edge mantis had appeared as well. It moved at a neck-breaking speed, the dizzying strikes of its sickle-like claws harvested up to three lives.

With the existence of something like this, there was nothing that could be done to deal with it.

The beast generals were not as patient as the insectoids, and they would not be deterred by the beast repellent powder. Rather, they would begin their rampage toward the mall and start killing everything in sight.

As for right now, five beast generals were spread out in all four directions of the mall.

One would not dare imagine what sort of scene would ensue if they were to break through!

Only this time, a burst of flame suddenly came from down the streets.

Dark red flames rose up into the night sky, but the burst of flame did not fill the air with light. The dark flames swallowed the disturbed uproar that was the swarm of insectoids on the streets.

The flames ignited everything around them, but there was no smoke cover, nor was there a wave of heat that would warm its surroundings. Everything would have been in a calm quiet if it were not for the pained screeching of the burning insectoids.

Qin Feng walked through the flames. This fire was made by him, naturally he would not be harmed.

Carpet Hellfire was not a be-all end-all ability, it would not be enough to kill off some of the stronger beast soldiers with strong vitality!

Skree!

That only made the insectoids angry!

"Nice. I don't need to go looking for you!"

Qin Feng watched as a knife-edged mantis flashed its wings and flew toward him. Its wings were thin like a cicada's, but it stretched itself outward and pressed forward. The way it handled its sickle-like claws indicated that it was quite skillful with them.

"Die!"

No matter how skilled it was, facing Qin Feng meant the end.

The Burning Sword Glare erupted outward as Qin Feng and the knife-edged mantis moved past one another.

It was not until Qin Feng had moved ten meters away that the huge knife-edged mantis collapsed onto the ground and got consumed by Hellfire.

Knife-edge mantis beast general! Slain!

It was just a momentary face-off and Qin Feng had killed the knife-edged mantis within seconds. He did not stop moving, continuing his advance, not even stopping to look at the mantis.

The dark umbra stallion once more entered the darkness, Qin Feng's position changed and another street was engulfed in flames.

All four directions were cleared, and Qin Feng took down four beast generals! With all the necessary materials collected, his body also felt the comfort of advancing.

"F6 tier!"

It seemed like fighting for an entire day had its rewards!

Of course, as Qin Feng's strength increased, the energy he absorbed after killing ultra beasts also increased. Before his rebirth, Qin Feng's combat ability was brilliant. No matter how seriously injured he was, his wounds would be repaired after killing something.

As a result, death was not something serious to him.

The moniker of 'Madman Qin' was stuck with him for a very long time.

Nowadays, his kind of combat method had advanced. Thanks to his darkness ability, Qin Feng was free to come and go without being worried about getting injured.

After clearing the four directions, the other insectoids were spooked enough to start retreating with their tails between their legs, and Qin Feng returned to the mall.

Looking at the time, it was already 2am in the morning.

"Boss! You're back!"

"Mr. Qin, we truly need you. The beast generals were like paper paste!"

"What do you mean the beast generals were like paper paste? It's clearly Boss being strong, that's what!"

Everyone was talking one after another, a string of excited chatter filled the air as they felt relief over the fact that the beast generals were gone, their words becoming louder and bolder.

Of course they were excited!

Qin Feng, this man, was a rising legend!

To have fought together alongside him, which perhaps in the future, would become something to boast about.

It was like playing a game, with one god-figure guiding the rest ahead and the way being cleared, the relief was overflowing.

"Everyone go back and have some rest, we will move at 7am tomorrow morning to find something good to eat!"

Qin Feng interrupted the people's enthusiasm. After all, after a full day of fighting, nobody's body was made of steel. The same applied to aptitude users.

Qin Feng was naturally arranged to be in the most luxurious place. There were several places in the mall that sold beddings. The mattresses and futons were all brand new. He also took the liberty of bringing Bai Li with him.

"Not bad, I wanna buy one when I get back. Hubby, yours looks so ugly!"

Qin Feng was speechless, it was not like he chose a defective product, but as a man, choosing some lacey, frilly pink sheets[1] was not something he would do!

"Alright alright, if you like it then set it up yourself. This is free after all!"

"You mean things like these can be free?"

"Only in small towns occupied by the enemy. Don't try this in any of the stores in Chengbei!"

Qin Feng and Bai Li went on to discuss several common sense subjects. Bai Li was smart and could make her own analogies. This saved Qin Feng a lot of time.

The next morning, when Qin Feng woke up, he could not find the soft and delicate body beside him. He furrowed his brows and immediately came to his senses.

Qin Feng's consciousness twitched and he sensed Bai Li's location. She was upstairs.

What was she doing upstairs? Qin Feng called the other one's communicator.

"You're awake!" Bai Li quickly said, soon after that, her appearance popped up on the communicator's screen.

Only thing was, she was actually wearing a set of sexy lingerie[2]…

"Puh!"

Qin Feng felt that the morning's firepower was a bit too strong, to the point where blood was almost gushing out from his nose.

[1] Pink is a very romantic color, the laces and frills only emphasize how masculine it is. Its 2020. Nobody's gonna judge.

[2] Isn't she…like…an…airfield?

Chapter 125: Escaping Han Town

"What are you doing?" Qin Feng tried to maintain a straight face.

"I'm looking for the clothes I like! There aren't any as good as the ones we have on our side, I don't want any!" Bai Li said with a huff, putting her clothes on and leaving with disappointment.

An entire night wasted thinking about it and ending up with nothing good!

Qin Feng.: "… Well, next time I'll take you shopping at a better place, come down first!"

Seeing that the light of spring had been covered up, Qin Feng felt a sense of regret.

The transportation in Han Town was not very developed, it was nowhere as modern as the large cities. The backward industry also led to the simplicity and antique-style of the clothing here. While Xiao Bai was vain, she was no cheapskate. The clothes were decisively abandoned by her.

After a rushed breakfast in the morning, the remaining five hundred people continued to set off. This time, the teams were reorganized and the people were able to follow in a neat fashion. Everything was progressing smoothly.

Perhaps it was because Qin Feng only accepted those who came on their own and did not save the survivors trapped in the buildings, the people entering the group were significantly fewer than the people blindly escaping yesterday, but there were more aptitude users and people with normal combat abilities.

As they got closer to the orphanage, the number of people breaking out began to skyrocket. Where was this place? It was a slum!

Everyone had to fight hard, otherwise the next day they would just be another body in the stinking ditches. So their combat potential was stronger and their drive for survival higher.

"Retreat to the orphanage's largest building and rest!" Qin Feng gave the order and the crowd flooded into the orphanage. This was Han Town's orphanage and it was not designed to accommodate so many people at once.

After resting for a while, the insectoids eventually gathered. The people that barely had their stomachs filled began to flee again.

Qin Feng took Wang Chen ahead of time and went around the corner of a street to get the two trucks.

"Boss, you were not spending your time getting these last night, right?" Wang Chen looked at Qin Feng with amazement.

"We don't have time for nonsense, you drive one and keep up with me!" Qin Feng said.

"Yes, Boss!" Wang Chen quickly got on a truck and drove after Qin Feng, following left and right until they entered the underground parking lot.

The underground parking lot of the orphanage was very small and as it was not used very much, no one cleaned it up. It was dark and damp in there.

The darker and damper, the more likelier there would be plow worms.

As the trucks moved forward, the roars of the engines startled and mobilized the plow worms.

Boom!

A plow worm erupted from the ground, intercepting the truck by coming up in front of it. Qin Feng did not hesitate to expand his conscious energy.

"Firebeam!"

A blazing beam shot forward, impacting the body of the plow worm.

Boom!

The plow worm was blown into pieces by Qin Feng's firebeam and even the burning bug flesh exuded a scent of fragrance. The plow worm's body contained a high quantity of protein and it had highly nutritious meat.

Qin Feng gave Bai Li a glance.

Bai Li naturally grasped the idea. When the truck was further away from the area, Bai Li used her spatial manipulation to put the body of the plow worm into her pocket space.

Not only that, all of the plow worms that were still burrowing around in the dirt in the general area were sliced by the Space Blade, and the fragments were sucked into Bai Li's space.

Above ground, Wang Chen, who had been following Qin Feng's truck, did not know what had transpired.

After a few tens of meters, they smoothly drove to the gate of the defensive facility of the underground parking lot. Qin Feng had already contacted the orphanage's teacher's communicator by then.

"Ms. Liao, you can come out now!" Qin Feng's communicator broadcasted. After a while, the big metal gate slowly opened up.

A mature beauty with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses came walking out, following her were several young children, all holding tightly onto her hands or surrounding her. This was the orphanage's volunteer teacher, Liao Ying, a G3-tier ancient warrior.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your help!" Liao Ying thanked him quickly.

Qin Feng's face remained serious. "Now's not the time for that. Ms. Liao, take the children into the truck. Everyone else, get ready to go!"

Qin Feng drove the truck in front of the group without hesitation. While it seemed dangerous, with Qin Feng's help, this was the safest option. The cars that were blocking the road were arbitrarily or directly removed by him.

Maybe it was because of Xiao Bai's fur, or that the insectoids have not moved into the periphery, their exit was very smooth.

The moment they left the city walls and Han Town's moat, the people were actually excited seeing the wilderness.

"We're out! We're out!"

"We're saved!"

"We've finally left. Dad, mom, I will live on for you!"

After a brief cheer came a stream of sobs and tears.

There were people who were confused about their future. Most ordinary people had never left the colony and did not know where to go.

On the other hand, the rich people who had already gathered contacts were eager to get to other colonies and lie low until all the fuss was over.

It was day three since the spatial rifts had opened up. The Coldstorm Battalion heard the news and had arrived as a response. At this time, they saw more than two thousand people appearing and were surprised by the turn of events!

The leader of the Coldstorm Battalion quickly welcomed them.

"Liu Xue!"

"Commander Jiang Chi!" Liu Xue quickly walked over.

"You rescued all of them? Liu Xue, you've done us a great service this time! Such is a task worthy of our Han Town's most beautiful, and most incredible captain!" Jiang Chi complimented with a hint of yearning in his eyes.

Jiang Chi was thirty two years old, strong physically but had never been married. As the regimental commander of Han Town's army, he was F7-tier in power, second only to the mayor.

At this time, Shi Tianhai had also come over. In three days' time, Shi Tianhai seemed to have grown ten years older.

It was because this was a devastating blow.

"Liu Xue, you did well, it's all thanks to you this time. The people from Fu City will be here in two days. Then, you and I can reclaim lost grounds!"

The Coldstorm Battalion became a stationed troop, but then for the small Han Town, this troop only consisted of five hundred people. Of the five hundred, only ten were F-tier. If they were to encounter a dozen blood-thristy beetles, the entire army would be wiped out.

"I cannot take credit this time. Fortunately, because of the crystal shell beetle a number of aptitude users arrived at Han Town, otherwise we would not have been able to break out!" Liu Xue said bitterly.

Shi Tianhai's face hardened. "If it weren't for them, our spatial stabilizing device wouldn't be damaged and you're still thanking them? I think they should be held accountable, my town wouldn't have been destroyed if it weren't for this!"

Of course, him being angry was useless.

They did not even know who did it. Even if they did, how would the other party afford to make reparations?

The aptitude users with their new lease of life ignored Shi Tianhai. After leaving the dangerous Han Town, they planned to part ways.

Qin Feng spotted Liu Xue in the crowd along with Shi Tianhai and Jiang Chi.

He came over, the aura of his body was unsuppressed. The aura of an F6-tier ancient warrior made Shi Tianhai and Jiang Chi carry themselves more properly.

Chapter 126: Gathering the Orphans

"Hello, Mayor Shi!"

Qin Feng stretched his hand out, the steady expression on his face stunned Shi Tianhai for a while, but he shook hands with Qin Feng out of habit.

"Hello, and you are…"

"Mayor, this is Mr. Qin Feng who brought us out. He was the one that helped us out a lot, and even rescued the children from the orphanage!" Liu Xie said enthusiastically.

The corner of Shi Tianhai's lips twitched slightly, and a bit of impatience flashed in his eyes. He was already in deep water, and Qin Feng had to go save a group of inconveniences. How was he supposed to deal with all of this?

These rescued children, would they not just add on to the mountain of problems they already have?

How could Qin Feng have not noticed Mayor Shi Tianhai's expression? His face hardened, and he decided to no longer be polite.

"Mayor Shi, I think Han Town is in a dire situation. I just happen to know a colony that can take these children in. Han Town is occupied by the enemy and until it can be reclaimed, I'm sure I can find a safe place for the orphans. So leave it to me!"

Shi Tianhai was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Okay, since this is the case, I'll hand this to Mr. Qin. A truly virtuous move from you, Mr. Qin!"

"It's as I should!"

Qin Feng did not want to be courteous with the other party, so he excused himself for needing to deal with the orphans and left.

Jiang Chi felt a sense of wariness in his heart, especially when he noticed the expression on Liu Xue's face when she was complimenting Qin Feng and showing her admiration.

"Liu Xue, who is this Qin Feng guy? And what about the other colony?" Jiang Chi asked.

Liu Xue smiled bitterly. "Even I don't know that, what I do know is that he's very powerful. He took down a steel-limb broodmother all by himself. His strength is incredible. Oh Mayor, Jiang Chi, I also intend on leaving with Mr. Qin!"

"What?!"

The two shouted in unison, in utter disbelief that Liu Xue would actually say that.

Regardless of how Liu Xue proceeded to explain to the two of them, Qin Feng, who had returned back to the crowd, had gotten even more frustrated.

There were two thousand people that had escaped from the colony. After arriving in a safe place, it had turned into a mess. Many people did not know what to do in the future, after escaping, they did not eat nor drink but instead could not help but start worrying.

"The Coldstorm Battalion will handle it!"

"Wait for them to solve it? Dream on! They didn't try to help out before!"

"Onwards to Lixian Colony! I happen to have relatives there!"

"So long as there's money in my communicator, anywhere is okay!"

"Are we really leaving? Han Town's finished just like that? How am I supposed to live on?"

For the poor, this was a disaster. For the aptitude users, it was merely a new beginning!

At this time, a group of aptitude users wanted to leave, but it was the question of how they would do it.

After all, they had successfully escaped but there were only two trucks available, which were a rare commodity now. Very soon, a quarrel ensued.

"There's no place for the orphans to go, why are you asking us to get off the trucks?" Lian Ying asked angrily.

"Can't I use it to go to another colony? Why are you being such a nuisance? Back off or I'll kill you!"

"No! The bus is not for you!" Liao Ying was obviously angry too.

It was at this time that Qin Feng returned. "What's going on?" Qin Feng asked calmly. His aura was unsuppressed, anyone would know that he was seething with rage.

One of the aptitude users suddenly rushed over, offering a cigarette.

"Mr. Qin, we're planning on using the truck to leave this dump. Do you want to join us?"

Qin Feng sneered. "The bus is meant for carrying the orphans."

"Didn't we already escape? Just pass them over to Han Town's people and call it a day! We helped save people, it's not too much to demand for a truck from them!" the man said in a rather pompous manner, believing that what he said was justified.

Qin Feng gave a stiff smile and said, "You saved other people? On the contrary, I think I was the one who saved you, so if I were to demand for your life right now, that wouldn't be too much to ask would it?"

The man finally got the meaning behind Qin Feng's words. "Mr. Qin, what are you talking about?!" He looked at Qin Feng anxiously.

Qin Feng looked around, there were still a bunch of F-tier aptitude users around him, almost half of the ones that came to Han Town before the crystal shell beetle attack. Undoubtedly, these were outsiders, not local Han Town aptitude users.

"From today onward, these orphans belong to me. They are my, Qin Feng's, people. I want to bring them with me, on my truck, and you want to take that from me?"

The people were shocked.

"No, no!"

"Mr. Qin! I was wrong! I didn't know!"

"Yes, Sir. I didn't actually want to take the truck, I just… came over to take a look!"

The group hurriedly tried to come up with excuses for themselves while the loud and arrogant one did not dare to speak up, quickly apologizing and slinking into the crowd.

Liao Ying was very surprised.

"Mr. Qin, you want to take care of these orphans?"

Everyone was worried about where they were going to go next, as a teacher of the orphanage, Liao Ying must have been even more so.

The person in charge of the orphanage had run away long ago, leaving her alone as a volunteer. When she heard Qin Feng's words, she felt at ease.

Qin Feng was a strong person. A person this strong, with a small sum of money, it would be enough to find a place for these people.

Qin Feng nodded at Liao Ying, and looked at those around him and said, "I have a newly built colony, which is still under construction. Those of you who are currently facing a life dilemma, you can come with me and help out in the urban defense and development to become residents of the colony. You can receive a residential area free of charge according to the population and may even work in the new colony in the future. Those people who want easy work, don't like to work, or those who want to spend their days idle are those that I dislike and are not coming with me!"

Qin Feng's remarks caused a sudden uproar among the crowd. Qin Feng actually had a colony?

If a new colony were born, would that mean new developments?

Undoubtedly, as the first batch of citizens, they would get better treatment and perhaps with a change of place they would be able to change their destiny.

"Mr. Qin, where is your colony?"

"Mr Qin, what's the colony's name?"

"Are you the colony's mayor?"

Qin Feng answered the questions one after another, and then handed the matters to Liu Zhenshan to let him count the number of people.

As for Qin Feng, he naturally went back to Han Town to grab a few more vehicles to drive back. He even brought over large tents and sleeping bags for people to sleep in.

Except that this very night, many were not exactly able to fall asleep easily.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Feng came out of his tent and saw a group of people waiting near it.

Other than Liu Zhenshan and Liu Xue, he first saw Wang Chen, those three that cooperated with him before, the newly awakened girl that they rescued from the mall, Shang Na, and the teacher of the orphanage, Liao Ying.

"Boss, for your colony, do you need aptitude users? What do you think of us?" Wang Chen said with a wide grin on his face.

Chapter 127: Returning to Chengbei

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You are greatly welcomed!"

Without a doubt, Qin Feng had reaped quite a haul with his return to Han Town.

Among them were more than thirty aptitude users that followed Qin Feng, with four of them being F-tier aptitude users.

There were about six hundred commoners that followed Qin Feng to Fengli colony.

These people were impressed by Qin Feng's words. In fact, most of the poor were homeless, and they had been paying attention to the news of a new colony, but the wilderness was a dangerous place. Few people left for another colony with only the clothes on their backs.

Qin Feng's request did not just ensure them a safe journey, it also offered them a new lease of life.

The most important thing was that they saw just how powerful Qin Feng was.

"Mr. Qin is an ability user, his future achievements are definitely going to be good!"

"Such a leader would be able to protect us! Better than that Shi Tianhai guy!"

"Liu Zhenshan is going too, Captain Liu will surely go as well!"

"The new colony is definitely better!"

With these ideas in the minds of the masses, they journeyed with Qin Feng.

Due to the large number of people and the limited number of hovertanks, Qin Feng led everyone through the longer way there. Perhaps it was also Bai Li's vigil that deterred the more aura-sensitive ultra beasts from attacking the convoy, which allowed them to go through smoothly!

A week later, Qin Feng finally returned to Fengli colony. At this time, Fengli colony was being built up rapidly, because of the invasion from the extra-dimensional beings many materials have undergone ground-breaking changes. For example, the addition of the mucus of a type of insect in the cement greatly increased its firmness and had it drying faster.

All kinds of building materials had been upgraded to have a greater effect.

A ten-story high rise building could be built in as fast as a month's time, and a colony would be formed within half a year with a sufficient labor force!

When Qin Feng arrived, Xue Xingfu had already arrived to greet him. It had not been half a month and Xue Xingfu still looked the same, while Qin Feng had become even more enigmatic.

"District governor, it's been half a month since you were gone! You've really become someone who just puts work into other people's hands, huh?"

The head of this colony was naturally divided according to Chengyang City.

The colonies surrounding Chengyang City were also the strongest colonies. There were also colonies much further away, but they were far away from Chengyang City, much like Han Town to the Fu City.

Qin Feng's Fengli colony was not that far away, and a public route was set up which had become a new district. Naturally, the head of the district was Qin Feng.

"I've troubled you greatly, but I'm afraid moving forward, you'll be even busier!" Qin Feng said with an apologetic smile.

"I'm exhausted!"

The two people discussed the current situation, and Qin Feng handed over the six hundred people to let Xue Xingfu figure it out. Among them, Liu Zhenshan and the others were the most important.

After that, Qin Feng took three cars full of people and headed to Chengbei colony.

This included more than a hundred orphans and some young women, including the mother and daughter who taped their mouths shut that time they first escaped with Qin Feng.

These were pretty much those under his special care.

At the gate of Chengbei colony, the three vehicles entered and the garrison immediately stopped Qin Feng's car after realizing the situation.

"Come down and accept the inspection!"

The duty of the garrison troop was to protect the colony. If a group of people were to rush into the city, this was something worth investigating.

Who knew what sort of diseases they could be carrying, or what parasites, which may threaten the entire city.

Qin Feng opened the door and got out of the car. Without him even saying a word, the other party was dumbfounded.

"Uh… Mayor Qin! H-hello!" The man quickly saluted when he recognized Qin Feng.

Qin Feng froze, then thought of what Zheng Yang said to him back at Zimu Mountains. To others, the dark rifts had only been gone for half a month. There was no way to carry out construction on those two mountains and they had become part of Qin Feng's backyard so to speak. For outsiders, it was unclear what this meant.

As someone who had performed exceptionally well while on the battlefield, Qin Feng seemed to be a hero.

"Hello, these people are orphans I've brought back from Han Town. I plan to send them to the orphanage here!"

"I see!" The garrison trooper hesitated for a moment then put his foot down, saying, "Then, you can go ahead first, I will inform the doctor and tell them to go ahead with the examination and prepare some antibiotics."

"Thank you!"

"No, Mayor Qin. Just doing our duty!" The trooper quickly waved his hand.

Qin Feng returned to his car and drove into the colony. Chengbei was naturally more prosperous than Han Town. It was so close to Chengyang City that it could basically be considered as a neighboring district, many things here were synchronized with Chengyang City.

Towering buildings, brightly dressed crowds, aptitude users that were uncommon in Han Town were all over here, there were even many children who happily went to school.1

When passing by a building, a video was playing on a big screen on the outer wall of a large building.

In the video, there was the scene of Qin Feng wielding the Verdant Emperor Saber, slashing away at F-tier zombies. Not only that, he also killed a Burning Ghoul. Due to the drone's overhead shots, the shot was perfect, beautiful and exciting to watch.

When the screen was doing a playback, a deep voice rang out.

"Heroes, always on the road!"

"Heroes, immortal in battle!"

"Heroes, fearless and persistent!"

"Heroes, are there among you!"

It was a promotional video by Zheng Yang! Although it was not specifically naming Qin Feng as a hero, there was without a doubt that after the Corpse Corps incident on Zimu Mountains that everyone recognized him as a hero.

Not only that, he had also become the leader of a colony.

Then the picture changed, and it was actually an image of Qin Feng. He was not sure when this was taken, but he was holding Bai Li's hand, tugging her along as they stood on a gray, ashy land and looking off into the horizon.

Then several large letters emerged: Fengli colony, waiting for you to create!

After seeing that, Qin Feng suddenly felt very dissatisfied!

Xue Xingfu was actually advertising this here. He even put an image of Bai Li. Qin Feng was not informed about it at all!

After realizing that pretty much everyone had seen Bai Li's face, he felt very unhappy! The little fox was his!1

When Qin Feng's expression became gloomy, those in the car with him were completely stunned. Although they knew Qin Feng was powerful, being on this large screen was obviously different.

"It's Mr. Qin!"

"Boss, that's so cool that you get to be on the big screen!"

"So it turns out that Ms. Bai Li's a superstar? Very photogenic!"

Once again, everyone felt that Qin Feng was unfathomable!

Qin Feng was utterly speechless.

Chapter 128: He's Qin Feng, You Know

Inside the orphanage's building.

"Sorry to trouble you this time, elder dean!"

"You rascal, don't say that, you've helped a lot this time!" Dean Lin Derong said emotionally before sending people to help manage the group that Qin Feng brought over. "Qin Feng, I was indeed right about you, but you've just grown up so fast, so fast that it's shocking. You must remember that it's the taller trees that will have their tops blown off. You need to remember to keep a low profile!"

Qin Feng smiled. If it were before his rebirth, he would have naturally done so as it would have been the right thing to do. It was completely different now. If he wanted to stay low, the only thing he would have to leave in the dark was his dark ability. Other times, he had to remain high profile.

"The towering tree deprives other creatures of their nutrients to protect the birds above. Elder dean, I won't let you down!"

Lin Derong froze for a moment, then laughed uncontrollably. "Okay! We'll go with yours! Fight on!"

Qin Feng left another 5 million and the meat of the plow worms before leaving.

The orphanage had become more depressing as of late.

Although the tragedy in Qin Feng's previous life did not happen, in the past half a month where he had not visited, the children's immune system had become weaker. They suffered from colds, fevers and viral infections, in the end more than twenty of them had passed.

Compared to the situation before Qin Feng's rebirth, it was considered much better. However with so many children gone, the orphanage seemed rather dismal.

With the new children joining, he believed that the mood might be uplifted a little.

Of course, against the pressures of survival, this was one of the places that Qin Feng should provide a lot of aid to. After the Fengli colony was built, Qin Feng was sure that the children would have a better living condition.

After leaving the orphanage, Qin Feng found a deserted area to have Bai Li bring out his hover car. The car was previously parked in front of Liu Zhenshan's shop. After the rift opened, Qin Feng had Bai Li put it away and now it was finally taken back out.

After returning to Qinghu Garden, and for not having a good break in a long while, Qin Feng comfortably lay in the large bathtub in his loft, Bai Li was beside him wearing a bikini.

Hmm, with a figure like that one could not help but get a nosebleed.

Qin Feng was glad that Xiao Lian from before called Bai Li flat.

After one whole night of relaxation, Qin Feng was woken up by his communicator with a call from Zhou Hao.

"Madman, didn't you say you are back already? We need to do an overall test and find teammates today, don't tell me you're not coming?"

On the way back these past few days, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao were in contact, and Zhou Hau had urged him several times, much like this time, that he must not miss the Spring Hunting Garden!

Good thing Qin Feng managed to rush back. This time, Bai Li became a small fox again and rode shotgun.

After being in a humanoid form for so long, Bai Li did not exactly like turning back into a fox. When in the human form, she had to focus on maintaining the shape of the physical form, and in fact, it was a kind of full body transformation. Not only that, human fingers were extremely flexible. For Bai Li, controlling these was a kind of exercise.

Although the trip to Han Town allowed Bai Li to obtain another beast king crystal core, her strength had also increased by a lot. Yet, she still did not have much of a chance to shine!

Qin Feng really treated her like a pet.

Draping herself around Qin Feng's shoulders, she let out a yawn and went back to sleep.

Qin Feng got out of the car and stepped into campus. After that everything immediately felt different.

To say that he was just a face among the crowd of students back then would not be an unusual thing to say, but now almost all of the people who had seen him screamed with excitement.

"Qin Feng!"

"Hey, is that the ability class's Qin Feng who's also an ancient warrior?"

"He's so amazing!"

Among the cheering, there was a girl who boldly approached him.

"Qin Feng, are you going to take part in the month-end test today and look for a team?"

Qin Feng was not too frigid. He kept walking but he answered the other's question. "Yes!"

"It's a shame that I'm a sophomore. If, if you come back from the Spring Hunting Ground and the team has been dissolved, I hope you can consider me!"

Qin Feng. "… We'll see then."

It was considered a polite rejection!

"Ah, thank you Qin Feng!" That girl happily dashed back and openly announced, "Qin Feng said that he'd give me a chance!"

Qin Feng: "… I didn't even say anything."

Since he was gaining too much attention, he started to pick up the pace and those who were eager to try and go after him simply could not keep up.

Qin Feng quickly arrived at class. Only this time, something unimaginable happened.

"Qin Feng, the Spring Hunting Garden's about to start. You should join our team!"

"Yeah Qin Feng, take me aboard and I'll use my Tailwind Assist to make you run speedily!"

"Outta the way, you wind-element ability user, you're just an auxiliary support ability user!"

Qin Feng furrowed his brow at the group of twittering teenagers. Did they not look down on him thinking that he had low elemental affinity before? Why did they want to join up with him for the Spring Hunting Garden now?

Qin Feng was not going to have these expressions of good will and join this group of people.

"Sorry, I need to discuss some things with my teammates!" Qin Feng said.

"Who? With the genius Zhou Hao from the ancient warrior class?"

"Aw jeez, if Zhou Hao's with Qin Feng, they've already won!"

This group of people stared at Qin Feng with greater intensity! After all, those two together were too strong, everyone knew that Zhou Hao was a certified G-tier ancient warrior!

In the eyes of these students who had only newly awakened for two months and been in the school for a month, Zhou Hao's capabilities were already extremely powerful. Qin Feng was naturally strong as well, but it would never occur to them that Qin Feng had already reached F-tier.

Even if the advertisement was broadcasted everyday, they still believed that they could stand a chance against Qin Feng's power.

Just as they were about to say something else, the teacher of the ability class, Cheng Chao, finally arrived and dispersed those surrounding Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng's back? Perfect, and I thought you're not attending this time's Spring Hunting Garden!" Cheng Chao was obviously delighted. He thought that Qin Feng would only be back the next day! "Everyone prepare yourselves, this time we'll do the first examination. This exam is very important, I hope you don't embarrass yourself. If your score is lacking, you may not find a team!"

"Ahh?!!"

The students were suddenly in an uproar.

Soon, with the announcement spread across the whole school, the people from the ability class also followed the rest to the central square. People of all classes were dispatched one after another. This year, more than three hundred freshmen were seated on the stands beside the square.

Of course, because the central square was surrounded by the other buildings, those within the lecture floors could still see the rest of the square.

Just above Qin Feng's original class, among the ability classmen, Li Yaoyao was among the onlookers.
