Chapter 225: Exposed

Qin Feng retrieved the boxes and stored them into his own spatial equipment. He put some into the newly-acquired spatial button when his own was fully loaded.

He was jubilant with the loot he had found.

"That should do it." Qin Feng decided to call it a day.

It was three in the morning. Qin Feng decided that they should return to the camp now. They could always revisit the cave later so there was no rush to bring everything out tonight.

Qin Feng retreated out of the cave, and his consciousness found Bai Li immediately. She was busy harvesting herbs around the area. This was a truly rewarding trip for them.

To many others, this was just an uneventful night.

The next morning, aptitude users were woken up by chirping sounds and immediately went into defense mode.

They knew another round of crisis had just begun.

They might have worked together during the night but that did not mean that they were comrades now. Everyone was being wary of each other. The situation was tense as fights might erupt at any time.

Some groups began to plan their next move.

"I thought Drakocrocs hunt during the night? Why on earth did they disappear last night?"

"Darn! Does that mean we can't move around during the day?"

"It's better to go out in the dark. Though it's more dangerous, at least it's better than being eaten alive by the crocs."

"I still think it's better to move during the day. Everyone needs rest. We have one less thing to worry about if we rest when those Drakocrocs are inactive."

Last time, a few fearless users had gone out for an expedition during the night like Qin Feng.

Though they did encounter other mutated beasts, they did not meet any Drakocrocs.

Some had even returned to the beach they disembarked from. Nothing was seen there during the night.

The giant claw marks of the Drakocrocs had also vanished, washed by the waves.

No wonder they did not notice any beasts tracks earlier.

"Should we move during the night as well?" Han Jian was contemplating like the others and asked Qin Feng.

Qin Feng threw the question back to him, "Do you think we are afraid of the crocs?"

Han Jian was momentarily stunned. Chi Long, on the other hand, was beaming with confidence.

"Why should we be afraid? It's our chance to harvest the valuable herbs on this island. We will have less competition if other groups dare not move out during the day."

The five of them departed from the makeshift campsite without delay. It was another day of exploration, looting, and constant battling.

The island was rather huge. Once the group had scattered, they probably would not bump into anyone if they were to carefully avoid other aptitude users. After all, there were only less than a hundred people inside the island now after the tragic incident yesterday.

In the following days, Qin Feng fought alongside Han Jian, Chi Long, and Lin Wuyi during the day, while continuing his visit to the cave to loot for more treasures during the night. Qin Feng even collected the skins and bones leftover.

Such a peaceful routine was broken on the fourth day.

That night, the atmosphere inside the campsite was unusually edgy.

Qin Feng and co. always returned the latest as they could last the longest in the wild. They immediately realized the alertness and suspicion among the users.

"Let me go and ask," Han Jian said. Most aptitude users around Chengyang City knew him so it was not difficult for him to get some information.

"I will go too." Chi Long walked into the crowd as well. He was an aptitude user from Fu City and actually knew more people than Han Jian.

They returned not long after.

"Apparently, someone has discovered a passage that leads to the underground of this island. The energy in there is even richer. He also found a darkglow in there but it had clearly been harvested. They are now speculating that someone among us went in first but remained quiet about it."

Qin Feng put on a poker face, while Bai Li played with the thing in her hand inattentively. He was determined not to reveal any signs of distress in front of them.

These people did not have the slightest idea about the richness of the treasure hidden down there. Otherwise, they would have died out of jealousy.

"Is it reliable? Perhaps it's another trap set up by the Dark Coalition?" Qin Feng diverted the blame toward the Dark Coalition.

Han Jian shook his head. "Unlikely. They found the place as a group and split up to explore the cave. When they met back at the rendezvous point, the darkglow was gone. The group suspected that the aptitude user had stolen it so he ran away before the infighting escalated, and broke the news to others afterward."

A typical selfish act. He would not allow his team members to earn the fortune if he did not get a piece of it.

This message clearly benefited those who initially had no knowledge of such a hidden passage.

Moreover, the aptitude user swore that he had not taken any darkglow. This only meant that someone had gotten in there earlier and already looted most of the treasure inside.

That was the reason for the tension. They were currently suspecting everyone around them.

Unbeknownst to them, they had guessed it right. That despicable thief was none other than Qin Feng!

"Let's go and have a look tomorrow," Qin Feng ordered.

"Sure!" Chi Long responded, "We are talking about darkglow! This plant usually grows in large patches. We are going to be very rich if we find any in there."

Qin Feng's team was not the only one excited to try their luck. Those from the Dark Coalition that had infiltrated the group also felt that this might serve them a good opportunity to strike.

No other place was more strategic than the narrow and dark underground cave for assassination.

The next morning, every team woke up and rolled out much earlier than the past few days. They all headed to the same destination—The cliff on the east side of the island.

Some teams had already begun the descent. There was still mistrust between different parties, so obviously, they were not going to cooperate.

As if they had rehearsed this, the teams went in one after another. The first party that entered was led by Tyrant. He was the strongest aptitude user among them. Besides, he still garnered substantial respect from the rest due to his affiliation with Wanzhong. His team had three other members—One also from Wanzhong while the other two were his acquaintances from Sea City.

They jumped down the cliff swiftly. After they were gone, another group appeared out of the woods and did the same.

There was a wind-type ability user in this group.

"Nimbus!"

The dense cloud shrouded the three of them and carried them downward.

This was when a horrible shriek came out from inside the cave. Along with the shriek was the growling of a beast. Following that was the sound of rocks falling.

Tyrant was then seen dashing out from the caves in a panic. He infused his legs with internal power and sprinted on the sea surface.

Behind him, one after another giant figure emerged from the large caves.

"Howl!"

It was Drakocrocs!

Those groups still on top of the cliff could clearly see the Drakocrocs swarming out from the caves.

The beasts immediately saw the descending group.

Boom!

One of the beasts leaped into the air, aiming its mouth at the wind-type ability user.

"Scram!"

The ability user explosively activated his ability and unleashed a series of cyclone blades. Though the fierce winds did slice open the Drakocroc skin, it failed to stop the beast's advance.

The mouth of the Drakocroc was right in front of his eyes.

Chapter 226: The Great Army of Drakocrocs

There was distrust among the E-tier aptitude users as they were not initially from the same team.

Hence, the two aptitude users used the opportunity to escape from the control of the ability user and fled.

Though he was momentarily stunned, the ability user quickly came to and casted a powerful ability.

"Reversed wind force!"

The ability user flew up to the sky along with the strong wind, and was able to dodge the attack from the Drakocroc.

However, those two that had escaped did not have lady luck on their side.

As Drakocrocs began to crowd the bottom of the cliff, the ancient warriors were restricted to running on the sea and were not able to fly into the skies. Tyrant had been able to do so because of his perfect exit timing, boosted by his powerful internal strength and fast speed, however, this ancient warrior had missed the perfect chance to escape.

Drakocrocs began to swarm out from the cave, there were hundreds and thousands of them.

Splash!

Pow!

The ocean was stirred up as the Drakocrocs dived into the waters at high speed.

The ancient warriors were being hunted by an insane number of Drakocrocs, and were instantly surrounded.

"Ahh!! Save me, quick!" The ancient warrior shouted in shock and anger, but the wind ability user had already flown far away, ignoring him.

The other gunner who wore gliding wings at the back had already arrived back at the cliff, while he was still trying to calm himself down from the intense moment, he also felt fortunate that he was able to escape.

Despite expending all of his energy, the ancient warrior was still unable to escape his fate from being massacred by the Drakocrocs.

Indeed, there were too many Drakocrocs that had gathered in the sea.

Although it was known that the vast area around the island was crowded with Drakocrocs, the number was still beyond estimation.

There were tens of thousands of them.

If it were to be compared with those that were seen from the beach, it was just the tip of the iceberg.

As the Drakocrocs submerged under the sea, the yellow sun rose gradually from the horizon and blew away the cool breeze of the night.

"Gulp!" Chi Long tried very hard to swallow his saliva.

It was a surprise for him to witness such a large pack of Drakocrocs leave the area, and there were even about dozens of beast generals.

If such a massive army of ultra beasts were to attack the city, nobody could ever defend against it. However, it was fortunate that they only existed within the spatial rift and none of them had entered earth.

The realm was ruled by the ultra beasts.

Soon, the wavy sea began to calm down, however, everyone was still fearful of going into the sea!

Tyrant looked furious as he had lost three of his team members, then, he joined forces with the very same ability user that approached him and they formed into a team.

"Let's move!" Qin Feng revealed himself from their hidden spot without much hesitation.

There were tens of thousands of Drakocrocs hidden in the underground cave, however, it was their nature to leave the area during the day. As such, the area was still safe for the moment.

Chi Long, Han Jian and Lin Wuyi followed Qin Feng instantly, and throughout the days of battle that they had, they had already adapted to be responsive toward Qin Feng's orders.

Qin Feng arrived at the edge of a cliff, he wrapped his arm around Bai Li's waist and took a leap forward, while his internal strength filled his entire body, and formed into a bouncy repulsive force. After a few leaps, they arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Han Jian followed the same way behind Qin Feng.

Whereas Chi Long was equipped with gliding wings, an essential escape tool that most gunners would have.

Lin Wuyi raised his hand and pointed toward the ground, a giant vine sprouted from the ground and wrapped itself around his body. Using the vine, he swung downward smoothly. It was a rather safe and steady method compared to the others.

As soon as all five of them had gathered, they disappeared into the cave while the others quickly followed, casting out their abilities and leaping from the cliff to jump into the cave. It was as if they were afraid of being left behind.

The cave was extremely massive in size, despite spending three consecutive nights in it, Qin Feng had still yet to complete his exploration in the surroundings of the giant caves where the Drakocroc beast king had stored its valuables.

However, the outer part was already surprising enough for the others.

Qin Feng took the paths that he had never discovered before, as such it was full of valuable loot.

As there were no battles that took place, the loots were divided equally, and Qin Feng did not care much about those either!

"Darkglow herb, we have found it, although there are only eight of them, it is still an easy ten million reward!" Han Jian let out a blissful smile!

Qin Feng remained unbothered as he thought about the hundreds of Darkglow herbs that were still in Bai Li's space, and he thought about replanting them in the underground garden once he got back.

"Dragon trail grass! This is it!" Chi Long carefully plucked down a bunch of dragon trail grass as it was incredibly effective in enhancing physical speed.

"I would like all the dragon trail grass, and I will not take anything else that we might find later, deal?"

"No problem!"

"I don't need this!"

The others were agreeable to the deal while Qin Feng had no comments as well, they were merely the half-grown plants from the Drakocrocs, and Qin Feng had more than twenty of them in his space. Furthermore, those that were from the cave of the Drakocroc beast king would be more effective as they were larger in size.

They had more discoveries and loot as they moved further in.

Throughout the short period of the expedition, both Han Jian and Chi Long had accumulated 20 million worth of wealth each, and the huge amount of money would definitely increase their capabilities tremendously.

Furthermore, as they had trained within the island that was abundant in energy, they were also able to improve much faster compared to when they were in the outer world.

The others might not be as lucky as them!

"Damn, stone flower, this must be a stone flower, it has been removed!"

"Leaves from the water cave pine, somebody must have been here, who could be the lucky one to have found this rare water cave pine!"

"Damn, leap fruit has been taken, who could have taken the best wooden spirit herb away from me!"

Everyone clenched their teeth in anger as they were unable to stop other people from entering before them and those people had looted everything, there was nothing that they could do to recover those items.

They could only feel jealous about it.

Some teams had even rushed directly toward the centre of the island without paying much attention to the search along the way as they were aiming for the main gathering spot of the Drakocrocs, surprisingly, they were able to identify the Drakocrocs' lair.

At the moment, the lair was empty as the beast king had gone out to hunt for food.

The ground was scattered with all sorts of items that seemed to be worthless for Qin Feng, however, in the eyes of the others, they were all precious treasures.

"Quick, grab them!"

"This is a rare one, the skin of the sea beast!"

"Haha, with this, and a little extra top-up, I will be able to afford an E-tier blue equipment!"

Most of the aptitude users were not the same as Qin Feng, as purple and silver rune equipment were rare items for them.

Some of the E-tier aptitude users might have to save up for years in order to afford such equipment.

Therefore, those resources were extremely valuable for them!

However, they were not the only lucky ones, as there were also others that had noticed the same resourceful centre spot and gathered around.

Within the blink of an eye, the cave was already crowded with three teams that had more than ten people in total.

They were paying close attention to the others, and as they moved around with high speed, they were also preparing for any possible battle.

At that moment, any wrong move would result in an intense battle!

Chapter 227: Death Caused by Wealth

Visibility within the cave had been limited by the dark surroundings, those who did not have darkglow could also channel their internal strength into their eyes to view in the dark, however, it would only work within the radius of not more than thirty meters. Gunners who had infrared scanning were checking on everything to ensure that nothing valuable would be missed.

"Oh my, silver pearl!"

The shout had alerted everyone in the surroundings.

The silver pearl was about thirty centimetres in size, and it could possibly breed pearls that were the same in size as a grape.

Each one could easily net thirty million!

If they were still alive, how could it be possible for the E-tier aptitude users to resist the temptation to keep and grow them?

Furthermore, there were at least a dozen of them! Most of them were goods that were brought back when the Drakocrocs came back from their hunts.

The aptitude user immediately reached out toward the silver pearl with hands.

Boom!

A deafening gun shot was heard.

Valuable goods would attract anybody, wealth could be the cause of human death, and the same went to birds that died for their food; the moment of brutal massacre had begun!

"Do you wanna die?!"

"You shall die today!"

"Scram, bastard!"

The crowd had sunk into a chaotic battle.

Loud noises echoed within the cave and were heard by many in the surroundings, some identified the origin of the noise and tried to hide from any trouble that might come forward, while some headed toward the noise as they thought that there might be something valuable that had caused the battle.

However, it was at that moment, those who were involved in the battle did not notice the abrupt wave that was rising from the seas as they were in the midst of the chaotic gunshots, a gigantic creature leaped up from the other end of the cave and rushed toward those who were in battle.

"Ah!"

Once again, the crowd screamed in immense fear.

"Beast king!"

The Drakocroc King flung away a giant beast general shark that was being dragged in by it and rampaged forward with its massive body. Everyone in the surroundings was like small ants that would easily die from a single stomp from the Drakocroc King.

Any normal Drakocroc would recognize human beings as their food source, as for the beast king, it would not even pay heed to the existence of human beings. However, the beast king had a great sense of control over its own territory, and it was a disrespectful provocation for the human beings to cause such chaos in the surroundings.

The slaughter had begun!

Without even any time to react, some of the aptitude users had already been flattened into minced meat.

"Run, run quickly!"

"Take this!"

An ability user defended with one last attack before his demise.

"Earthfall!"

Boom!

The ground immediately turned into spiralling whirls of sand that was pulling the body of the Drakocroc King down, trying to swallow it whole.

However, with limited conscious energy from the ability user, the pit formed was a mere fifty meters in depth. The Drakocroc King began to struggle and tried to free itself from being swallowed.

"Boulder Dragon Style!"

Before it could escape successfully, the ability user casted out another ability that formed into a gigantic dragon with eastern features, and it was comparable with Qin Feng's fire dragon, the boulder dragon rushed toward the Drakocroc King with its massive body that was formed from solid boulders.

The Drakocroc King was once again forced backward.

However, this attack had ultimately enraged the Drakocroc King.

The beast king widened its jaw and crunched down on the approaching boulder dragon.

Crush!

The boulder dragon was instantly crushed into pebbles and its body shattered all over the area.

Poof!

The ability and the conscious energy of the ability user were forcefully sucked out and devoured, his mental strength suffered a heavy blow as blood spurted out from his mouth.

"Master Fang, I'll get you out of here!" A loud roar was heard as a chain of shackles was tossed out from the person's hand, pulling the ability user away, then they flew up to the top of the cave from where they had entered.

Everyone else was panicking and running to save themselves.

The massive body size of the Drakocroc King had prohibited it from entering into the smaller caves, hence, they were fortunate enough to escape from death.

Master Fang's conscious energy had been severely damaged and was unable to remain conscious, however, right after being saved by the person, a dagger slashed across and cut through his throat!

"Haha, Master Fang, every man for himself, the devil takes the hindmost!" The person guffawed wildly.

Master Fang was obviously an overlord in his territory to be able to possess the Boulder Dragon Style, and he was definitely a rare and noble ability user with powerful capabilities.

However, he did not expect to die in the hands of his own men.

"Liu Rui, you bastard!"

A loud roar echoed in the surroundings as an assault of bullets rained down on the person.

Liu Rui had to dodge and take cover before he could take off the spatial ring Master Fang was equipped with.

Five people appeared from a corner.

It was Qin Feng and the others.

The noise from the battle had caught his attention and he was one of those who had come to check out the situation. However, he was surprised by the scene of the aptitude users being massacred by the returning beast king.

There was even someone who was taking advantage of the chaotic scene.

Liu Rui escaped, Chi Long did not go after him and he immediately looked toward Master Fang.

"Master Fang!" Chi Long shouted.

Sadly, his throat had been slashed clean through and his bones were snapped in half, the deadly attack from Liu Rui was merciless and had killed Master Fang!

As Qin Feng was standing beside him, he was able to feel the activation of his absorption ability and the abundant conscious energy that was merging into his body.

He was certainly an extremely powerful ability user, and since Qin Feng had not heard of the name before his rebirth, this was probably the last place of his existence.

It was a fate that was irreversible.

"Chi Long, this is not the place for you to mourn, carry the dead body along, let's go!" Qin Feng spoke in a deep voice.

Chi Long clenched his teeth and nodded, the dead body was kept into his spatial rune equipment. The spatial rune equipment of the deceased was unable to be placed into his own, hence he passed it over to Qin Feng.

"Master Fang is an elder in Fu City, although I will bring the dead body back, being part of this team, I should not take all of the loot just because of my own personal emotions, let's go now!"

Qin Feng nodded and remained silent, reality was ruthless, even on a great and powerful person. That said, it was fortunate enough that he had died in one piece. As for the wealth that was accumulated throughout his entire lifetime, the descendants might not be able to keep them secure, it might even bring unnecessary problems.

There were still aptitude users that were unable to escape from the cave. Some were even hoping that the others would not be able to make their way out and keep the Drakocroc King busy so that they could take the chance to save their own lives!

At that moment, everyone had different opinions.

"This is a rare opportunity to take down the beast king while it is stuck inside, the rewards will be extremely valuable!"

"That's right, this is our time to take action!"

There were a few people who were dressed casually and had aptitude user badges on their chests. They looked totally different from the others.

It had a blood-red bat shape on it.

These were the people from the Dark Coalition.

Bloodthirst Organization!

It was a rather small-sized organization that only recruited strong and powerful members, there were four of them that had appeared.

Yuan Han, a merciless E4-tier ancient warrior that would not hesitate to kill, and one of the butchers from the Three Cities that shared the same name as She-Wolf.

Wu Ze, a genius E3-tier gunner that specialized in manufacturing, modification, experiments, and had even replaced half of his body into machines that boosted himself with insane combat power.

Guo Xing, an E4-tier gunner who specialized in high-impact giant bombs, and was also highly skilled in explosives.

Sheng Zhenyu, an E5-tier metal ability user, the most powerful among all.

Chapter 228: An insane move

Every smaller sized colony was fearful of the presence of the four aptitude users.

"Come on, let's move now!"

Sheng Zhenyu commanded, he was the leader of the team of four, and also a metal ability user.

"About time!"

Wu Ze seemed to be very excited as he instantly took out all sorts of machines and began to assemble them at high speed, it was as if his hands had faded into shadows.

Guo Xing also began to take out machines to assemble handheld grenades that were about the size of a fist, and they were specially assembled to a chain with a spearhead as its front, then, it was placed onto a crossbow that had been set up by Guo Xing.

It was obvious that the handheld grenades would travel along with the release of the spearhead from the bow.

Wu Ze only used a short amount of time to complete his weaponry assembly, he casually pushed them forward to the entrance of the cave where the Drakocroc beast king was still raging on at some users that were still unable to escape.

"Hurry up, we do not want to miss this opportunity!" Sheng Zhenyu ordered.

"No problem!" Wu Ze sneered and replied, "I am about to start now!"

"Me first!"

Without any hesitation, Guo Xing took aim at the Drakocroc King and pulled the trigger.

At the same time, his conscious energy was also injected into the arrow.

Swoosh!

The arrow shot out from the bow, carrying with it a long chain of handheld grenades.

It was as if a rope was travelling through the air.

While under the control of conscious energy, the rope circled around the neck of the Drakocroc King and was tightly wrapped around it.

Roar!!!

The Drakocroc King did not know what it was, but it began to roar and the instant reaction from it was to free itself from the rope that was entangled around it.

Guo Xing seemed to be filled with excitement in the distance.

"Explode!"

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed in the surroundings as countless purple light rays surrounded the skull of the Drakocroc King.

Thunderstrike Bomb.

With such a powerful explosion from the bomb, even one of it would be sufficient to take down an E-tier ultra beast, and there were hundreds of them that had been specially prepared for the Drakocroc King.

"Awuu…" The Drakocroc King let out a blood-curdling screech.

"Die!" Wu Ze initiated another attack.

Another deafening explosion was heard.

A pitch-black bomb was released from Wu Ze's cannon tube while his conscious energy controlled the bomb, targeting the Drakocrocs King.

The beast king was alerted by the incoming attack, and it was about to dodge from it.

However, with the control of conscious energy, the effort of the beast king was in vain.

Boom!

The Drakocroc King's neck took the hit, it was the same spot where Guo Xing's attack had hit, and the bomb penetrated into the flesh of the beast king.

"Annihilate!"

Wu Ze commanded, and an instant black explosion was released.

Unexpectedly, it was a Dark Energy Cannon.

The entire body of the Drakocroc King was immediately engulfed in dark energy while its flesh began to deteriorate and decompose, it was as if it had instantly become an aged beast king.

The Drakocroc King let out another howl.

It was heavily wounded by the double-attack.

However, the Bloodthirst Organization had underestimated the Drakocroc King!

It glared furiously at the cave where the attacks came from and began to rush toward it without any hesitation.

Boom!

A booming explosion was heard as the cave began to collapse, and the crumbling ruins were about to fall onto the attackers.

"Oh no!"

Everyone noticed that something bad was about to happen.

"Steel Barrier!" Sheng Zhenyu blasted out metal abilities that formed into a small hut that covered all four of them.

They remained unharmed by the collapse.

"Later, dark energy will begin to invade and deteriorate its body, furthermore, the attack was on its neck, which is also closely located to its brain, it should not be a problem!" Wu Ze said.

The others trusted Wu Ze and waited for their next move.

It was at that moment, the Drakocroc King that was in the giant cave began to feel the severe deterioration that was taking place in its body, and it was furiously enraged by it.

"Awuu…" A long and painful screech was heard.

The deafening sound lasted for about half a minute.

Those who did not have strong conscious energy were severely affected by the sound, and they began to feel dizzy as their eardrums began to bleed.

The thunderous voice had echoed and spread across the entire island, and every part of the sea area was able to hear the summons of the Drakocroc King.

"This is bad!" Qin Feng's face darkened.

Although Qin Feng and the others did not witness the attacks from the Bloodthirst Organization, they assumed that the loud explosions were from the gunners that tried to stop the Drakocroc King.

However, the situation seemed to be far more complicated than that.

"Leave now!" Qin Feng led the others and rushed toward the opening of the cave.

However, they were deep within the cave and it would require at least half an hour to arrive outside.

That amount of time would be sufficient for Drakocrocs from the entire island to gather around.

The Drakocroc King was summoning the other Drakocrocs with its loud roar.

The call from the beast king was heard by Drakocrocs that were scattered all over the island, including those that were hunting in the waters. Every Drakocroc had heard the calling that was filled with anger and sorrow, and they began to rush back in a rampage.

Drakocrocs began to crawl up the cave and block off the entrance!

The aptitude users who were about to escape were all shut in!

"No, retreat, quick!"

"No!"

"Save me!"

Screams were heard as everyone was forced to retreat, or else, they would have to remain there forever.

Qin Feng and the others were in the same situation.

"Fire Dragon!"

Qin Feng equipped his Scarlet Fire Claw and instantly summoned his fire dragon.

The fire dragon attacked and resisted the Drakocrocs' advance.

"Die!"

One of the Drakocrocs was surrounded by flames and was instantly burned to death. However, the moment it died, it was immediately replaced by those from behind.

"Hellfire Carpet!"

Qin Feng activated his conscious energy and covered the entire cave with the Hellfire Carpet.

The Drakocrocs began to take another route as they were surrounded by flames and were unable to break Qin Feng's resistance.

As the Drakocrocs were born and bred here, they were naturally familiar with the interconnected routes within the cave, they were now right behind Qin Feng and the others.

Ratatatat!

Chi Long wildly fired his gun as he tried to stop the ultra beasts, within the small and restricted area, they would not be able to survive if the ultra beasts were to rush toward them all at once.

"This won't do, there are too many of them, we can't breach through!"

Lin Wuyi's face turned pale when his conscious energy perceived the surroundings that were densely packed with Drakocrocs.

The wilderness was always cruel and filled with unpredictable deaths.

Qin Feng became worried, he knew that it would be an easy task for Bai Li to lead them outside, however, by doing so, her abilities would be exposed.

Qin Feng would never want anyone else to witness Bai Li's ability!

"Retreat, back to the beast king cave!" Qin Feng shouted.

The only way was to retreat and hope that the Drakocrocs would follow them in, and their density would then be reduced, only then, they would be able to slaughter their way out.

At that moment, retreating was the only way to move forward!

Chapter 229: Collective Teamwork

"I'll cover the front, Bai Li, attack!"

Qin Feng said with a deep tone.

Bai Li did not give it a second thought before she unleashed a powerful attack.

With just a gentle wave of her hands, a claw mark appeared in mid-air, which instantly severed the Drakocroc's skull into pieces.

Lin Wuyi and Han Jian stared in disbelief. They did not expect Bai Li to be this powerful.

Although Chi Long had seen how strong Bai Li was, he had just discovered that after Bai Li had reached E-tier, she was way fiercer even when faced with the same E-tier ultra beast, but it was in no way bating a jot of the elegance she had shown during the battle against the Golden Queen Ant at that time.

When Bai Li made her move, the Drakocrocs behind her were exterminated in just the blink of an eye. Qin Feng and his team then quickly retreated.

There were many people who made the same decision as Qin Feng and his team. After all, it was way out of their abilities to stop the Drakocrocs' rampage.

To make matters worse, there were now only sixty aptitude users inside the cave!

Qin Feng quickly retreated back into the giant cave. It was at this exact moment that the four members of the Bloodthirst Organization thought that their chance was finally here.

As they drew away their conscious energy, the steel barrier was disabled, and the four men began attacking the Drakocrocs once they had cleared out the cavern.

"Die!"

The two gunners recklessly shot out bullets at the Drakocroc King's humongous body as if it was a living target.

The Drakocroc King seemed to understand that it was at a disadvantage if things were to keep going on the way it was going. As it let out an earth-shattering roar, its body quickly began to shrink.

Shapeshift!

This was an art mastered by any beast king, otherwise their huge bodies would drag them behind and drain huge amounts of energy.

Of course, the king had never seen a human being, nor did it understand the characteristics of this race. Therefore, he had never thought of shapeshifting into a human.

At this time, aptitude users had appeared in the other passage, and there were Drakocrocs chasing after them.

"As expected, it was only a matter of time until it would shapeshift!" Sheng Zhengyu said coldly.

The Drakocroc King did not wish to be killed here either, it tried to flee away at lightning speed.

The other side of the cave was linked to the sea. As long as it was able to get there, there was no way these humans would be able to chase it down.

However, now that the Bloodthirst Organization had given their everything, there was no way they would let it escape!

"Quick, chase after it!" shouted Wu Ze excitedly.

"It won't get away!" Sheng Zhenyu raised both hands.

"Metal Cage!"

He unleashed his metal ability, and in the next moment, a huge metal railing quickly shot up in front of the Drakocroc King, blocking its escape.

Boom!

The railings were instantly knocked away by the Drakocroc King's humongous body.

Although the Drakocroc King was weakened, it was still as powerful. It was clear that the previous attacks would not work now.

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can last!"

Sheng Zhenyu unleashed his second skill, and a row of sharp nails emerged from the ground, piercing the king's feet with every step it took.

"Rawr!" The Drakocroc King bellowed in pain.

When the Drakocroc ultra beasts heard the Dracokroc King's roar, they quickened their pace and rushed over to Sheng Zhenyu's side.

It was then the other aptitude users were able to understand the situation right now.

"It's you guys? So, it's you people that provoked the king, do you have any idea that we're all surrounded by herds of Drakocrocs now!"

"Are you dumb? Don't get us into trouble if you wish to die!"

"The king is wounded? Kill, kill the king and we will make a fortune!"

For a moment, there were anger, surprise, and a series of emotions that appeared. The sight made their hearts pound with excitement.

"Cut the crap and stop talking!" Yuan Han sneered as his body began to exude a murderous aura.

A Drakocroc dashed toward him. With a huge blade in Yuan Han's hand, he gave the beast a few mighty slashes, cutting it into several pieces.

And at that moment, Tyrant finally spoke up. "No matter what happens, kill the king first. After all, these Drakocrocs are following the king's orders. Once the king dies, the other Drakocrocs would scatter in fear. If we don't fight now, we'll die here today too!" He said in a deep voice.

And there was nothing wrong with what he had just said.

When the Steel-limb Broodmother Queen died, many insectoids came just because they wanted to eat the queen's carcass so they could evolve.

But the Drakocrocs could not devour its own kind to evolve. Once the king dies, the rest of the kind would fall apart, and it would make their escape easier.

What was more, the king was wounded now.

Everyone was thinking of ideas to gain an advantage in this situation.

"Kill!"

All of them unleashed their strongest attacks all at once.

They all wanted to kill the king.

Such an opportunity was quite rare. Usually, beast kings were so strong that when humans encounter them in the wild, they would be killed in an instant.

But now, there was strength in numbers.

With more than sixty E-tier aptitude users, if they coordinated their attacks well, killing the king would not be a problem at all.

Seeing that it was surrounded, the Drakocroc King roared again, this time its body had grown to become extremely large.

Boom!

With a ferocious blow, the ancient warrior who rushed up to fight the beast king was immediately knocked out of the way.

"Hold it back, quick!"

The men in the back yelled their battle cries.

"Hmph!" Tyrant went ahead and fought bravely at the frontline. He was one of the strongest, and his rune equipment was among the best.

As soon as the ancient warriors went up, they were all knocked out by the Drakocrocs.

In the end, there were around twenty ancient warriors left, but only three of them were able to hold on to the attacks.

These three people were Qin Feng, Tyrant and Yuan Han.

"The others, stop the Drakocrocs!"

"Seal the cave entrances, don't let them in!"

"Look out, the beast general!"

Their loud shouts shook the insides of the cave.

Qin Feng and the others fought with incredible strength and resisted the king's attacks. On the other hand, the other ancient warriors could not intervene and all of them retreated, the only ones left were ability users and gunners.

They began an all-out attack on the king.

"Burning Sword Glare!"

Qin Feng swung his blade and parried the Drakocroc King's attack, but it just was not enough.

The clock was ticking, if they were not able to stop it, the place would be flooded by the army of Drakocrocs.

"Phew!"

Qin Feng took a deep breath, and the air around him became extremely murderous.

The Drakocroc King stretched out its head just in time to repel Yuan Han's attacks, and Qin Feng seized this opportunity.

He slashed with his sword again.

"Blazing Sky!"

A blinding light emitted from the Verdant Emperor Saber in Qin Feng's hand, and Qin Feng's entire body seemed to have blurred out!

In the next second, the Drakocroc King's neck was pierced straight through by Qin Feng's blade. The humongous blade shot up almost twenty meters into the skies.

The Drakocroc King's head instantly rolled off to the side!

Poof!

The King's flesh was blasted into mush and was tainted black after being polluted by the dark energy. The severed neck began spouting out fresh blood, covering every inch of Qin Feng's body.

"Ah!"

Qin Feng felt a burning sensation all over his skin.

"Dragon blood!"

Everyone then came to.

The Drakocrocs blood contained a trace of dragon blood, and the dragon blood could be used to harden their flesh.

The crowd instantly got excited.

Yuan Han, who was knocked out into the air, was furious. Her glare was deadly and her face was twisted with anger, the butcheress was enraged!

The dragon blood was supposed to be hers!

"Die!"

Yuan Han furiously attacked Qin Feng and tried to decapitate him!

"Get out of the way!"

Qin Feng let out a low, growling roar as his hands burst with strong energy.

Chapter 230: Enemies at First Sight

These people did not know each other.

Although Qin Feng still had his Scarlet Fire Claw on his left arm, everyone thought that Qin Feng had it on so he could pair the equipment with the fire elemental technique he had just used.

They had no idea that Qin Feng was a true ability user.

Not only that, his abilities were not in any way inferior to his ancient warrior powers!

The fire blast sent Yuan Han flying backward.

The alliance that was once established immediately fell apart. Everyone began to kill each other.

"That king material is mine!'

"All of you die, you f*ckers!"

"Scram!"

Everyone roared.

The scene made everyone go crazy.

At that moment, Tyrant too rushed into the midst of the dragon blood shower, but this time, Qin Feng did not stop him.

"Ahh!"

Tyrant let out a miserable scream as the dragon blood blistered his skin.

The dragon blood was very potent and strong, it was not easy to withstand the pain.

"Flashing Sword Dance!"

Sheng Zhenyu was obviously furious, he did not expect to have the kill taken away by someone else after inflicting heavy wounds on the ultra beast. It seemed that it had been a while since anyone had enraged him to such an extent.

Qin Feng and Tyrant heard the clashing and twisting of metals. Then, hundreds of weapons appeared out of thin air and shot toward their direction.

Seeing this, Tyrant did not have time to dodge the attack, and most importantly, it seemed that his body could no longer bear the intense burn from the dragon blood, and the pain was unbearable.

"Kid, if you manage to get me out alive, I'll owe you a favor!"

As soon as he finished his words, silvery light enveloped all around him.

Spatial waymark!

Tyrant's body instantly disappeared, he had left this foreign space.

Only Qin Feng remained to face the incoming blade attack.

In the eyes of others, Qin Feng's death was inevitable.

"Huh!" Qin Feng scoffed. And in the next moment, flames soared all over his body.

"Fire Dragon Style!"

"Roar…"

The dragon cry shook the air. The fire dragon soared high up into the sky, its tremendous power made everyone tremble in fear.

This dragon art was a technique that could only be learned by the top officials in the city. Or else, one could acquire this technique by exchanging it with their astounding wealth. No one would have thought that a young man like Qin Feng would actually possess a fire dragon technique.

His previous Blazing Sky skill was already scary enough. Now, there was actually an even stronger one.

"Roar!"

Under the wrath of the fire dragon, every weapon that came close to it was melted in an instant. One could even feel the searing heat of the fire dragon's body from afar.

"Strike!" Qin Feng pointed at Sheng Zhenyu.

Sheng Zhenyu's face changed dramatically.

"Steel Barrier!"

The humongous steel barrier re-emerged once again.

It might be able to stop the mountains from shaking, but in no way could it stop Qin Feng's fire dragon. Sheng Zhenyu was afraid that if he was locked up in the Steel Barrier together with the dragon, he would be roasted alive by Qin Feng, which was a similar fate to the Scaled Tiger beast general.

As expected, he was not brainless after all. After summoning the Steel Barrier, he manipulated his conscious energy like crazy, and metal runes began to spread in the air around him which grew larger and larger.

"Steel Giant!"

He unleashed his ability, and a ten-meter tall giant emerged from the ground, punching Qin Feng's fire dragon right on the face.

The two ability users clashed, and their tremendous power force made others retreat as they were unable to intervene in the fight. They were also afraid to be caught up in the fight.

"Move, faster!" Sheng Zhenyu shouted.

Wu Ze, Guo Xing and Yuan Han started to charge toward the Drakocroc King!

For such a behemoth, even if they cut off a piece of its flesh, it would actually be worth a lot of money.

However, the most valuable assets of the king were none other than the three main parts.

They were the scales, skull and energy core of the Drakocroc King.

But, the Drakocroc King's skull was a quarter of its entire body's length, which was almost as big as a small house. Even if they had a spatial runic equipment, the skull would still not be able to fit into it.

The only other way was to disintegrate the skull into smaller pieces but they did not have the ability to do so.

However, the energy core was different. The Drakocroc King's energy core was only the size of a basketball, so it could be taken away easily!

"Bai Li!" Qin Feng shouted.

Bai Li began to move toward the king's carcass too!

With just a lift of her hand, the Drakocroc King's head was loaded into her space. Everyone's jaws dropped as they watched on.

They did not know about Bai Li's abilities, but they figured that Bai Li must have an oversized spatial runic equipment.

If it could fit the head of a Drakocroc King, it must be at least five hundred square feet.

The spatial runic equipment must be worth 1.5 billion yuan.

Everyone was breathing heavily, they refused to believe it.

"Kill her!" Wu Ze was the first to go insane. For a gunner, no item would be as tempting as having a spacious spatial equipment.

Ratatatat!

A barrage of bullets was shot at Bai Li.

"How dare you underestimate others!" A voice was heard out of nowhere, and in the next moment, a terrorizing greenish poisonous gas enveloped Wu Ze and the others.

"Ah!" Wu Ze inhaled a mouthful of the poison gas, he felt dizzy and his vision was blurred.

"Die!" Chi Long aimed his gun at Wu Ze.

A chaotic battle had begun.

From where Qin Feng was currently standing, the Drakocroc King's blood had finally stopped spurting. Although Qin Feng still felt the blistering pain around his body, the pain was not as unbearable as the pain Tyrant had felt earlier.

This was because Qin Feng's physical strength had exceeded that of an ordinary person by far too much.

With such incredible strength, coupled with the death of the Drakocroc King and the activation of his absorption ability, Qin Feng's strength had finally advanced again on the eighth day of entering the island.

E2-tier.

At this time, Yuan Han ran up the back of the Drakocroc King as she targeted its spine. She wanted to cut through the Drakocroc King's outer scale with her machete so she could steal the energy core!

"Get out of the way, it's mine!" Bai Li also ran up and mercilessly knocked Yuan Han down.

Yuan Han was about to go nuts.

After years of rampaging through the Three Cities, she had never felt so defeated before.

Whether it was Qin Feng's or Bai Li's strength, they were so powerful that she stood no chance against them.

Bai Li swung and slashed with the Ceramic Saber in her hand at the Drakocroc King's spine.

The white Ceramic Saber carried a faint spatial rune, enabling it to instantly slice through the Drakocroc King into two neat halves.

As Bai Li kicked away the other half of the king, she swung with her Ceramic Saber again. A clear crystal the size of a basketball appeared in her hand.

The king's energy core!

Bai Li's satisfaction was evident, and she kept the energy core inside her space.

Seeing this, the other aptitude users went even crazier. They gave up fending off the Drakocrocs and dashed toward Bai Li.

Now, Bai Li was like a living treasure vault of tremendous value.

'If we kill her, we'll be able to skyrocket through the rankings!'

'That's an E-tier beast king energy core!'

They had to work hard and save up for four to five years to even be able to afford one. Now that there was one in front of them, how could they not want to get their hands on it?

"If you don't wish to die, get out!" Qin Feng growled out a warning.

"Don't be so arrogant!"

"Who do you think you are? You don't think that I'm powerful enough? Fine, none of you will leave this place alive!"

"Kill him! He bought off a lot of stuff from the Wanzong auction, he must have some good stuff with him now!"

Everyone let out their battle cries. They could feel their battle spirits growing inside.

"Get lost b*stards! Don't you all recognize him as the district governor of Fengli colony?"

Han Jian roared.

Chapter 231: The Big Kill

Their eyes flickered for a moment, but the weapons in their hands did not stop swinging.

In such a hectic battle, it did not matter who you were, it was kill-first-speak-later policy.

"People of Fu City, listen to me just this once! If you do not wish to die, leave now! Or else, you'll suffer the consequences of your actions!" Chi Long shouted.

Unfortunately, no one was bothered to pay attention!

Qin Feng's deceiving calm composure masked his murderous intent.

"If that's the case, don't blame me for not holding back!"

Hellfire Carpet! Qin Feng unleashed his ability and he no longer cared about holding back for anyone. The Hellfire Carpet erupted and covered the entire cave in hellfire.

"Haha! This is awesome, there are toxic gasses everywhere!"

Lin Wuyi, who was a genetically modified beast general, had also unleashed his powers. He filled the air with deadly green mist.

However, these were all E-tier aptitude users. No matter how powerful Qin Feng's abilities were, they were fearless. They gave in their every bit of internal strength, conscious energy and defensive runes as they dashed toward Qin Feng like a horde of madmen.

Three ancient warriors synchronized their attacks on Qin Feng.

"Mountain Split!"

"Sword Kill!"

"Heavy Blow!"

Their attacks came in one after the other.

"Don't bite more than you can chew!" Qin Feng sneered at them. As he was controlling the fire dragon that was duelling with the Steel Giant with his consciousness, he could still swing his Verdant Emperor Saber horizontally with his hand.

"Blooming Flame!"

The Verdant Emperor Saber struck the three ancient warriors who were within the saber's range.

Clink clink clink!

Their weapons snapped with a crisp sound.

"Burning Sword Glare!"

The Verdant Emperor Saber was swung violently as it made numerous kills.

The crowd was easily exterminated and swept away.

"Bunch of useless coyotes!" Qin Feng sneered. With just a wave of his Verdant Emperor Saber, he had decapitated a man.

Poof!

Blood spurted out of the headless neck and the person's head flew into mid-air!

Qin Feng did not care which city the person was from, where they came from or if he recognized the person, all he knew was that everyone who dared to challenge him were all his enemies.

All those who wanted to harm Bai Li had to die!

After a while, Qin Feng had killed so many that his eyes were stained red with blood.

In just a few moments, more than a dozen people had fallen to the ground, and their blood had soaked the ground red. Their bodies were quickly burned into a pile of ashes by the hellfire, including those living bodies that were nearby!

On the ground, only a few rune equipment remained, some of which in particular were spatial rune equipment.

Qin Feng used his conscious energy to bring all of the items into his arms.

"Your opponent is me!" Sheng Zhenyu roared.

He was desperately forcing his consciousness to fight against Qin Feng's fire dragon, but Qin Feng even had the audacity and spare time to fight with the others, which was clear that he was underestimating Sheng Zhenyu.

It was true that Qin Feng did not take him seriously.

"Get lost!"

Qin Feng urged his fire dragon again, which was now strangling the Steel Giant.

When both fire rune and metal rune collided, both were devolving, but fire triumphed metal. Even if Sheng Zhenyu was an E5-tier ability user, which was four tiers higher than Qin Feng, it still would not change the fact that Qin Feng was stronger. This was because Qin Feng's conscious power was far too strong.

Qin Feng was an SS-tier gifted mortal.

The metal runes were obliterated by the mass of flames, the searing heat had melted the Steel Giant into a pool of molten steel.

"Roar!" The fire dragon roared as it rushed toward Sheng Zhenyu.

"Metallize!"

Since there was no way he could evade the attack, Sheng Zhenyu could only use his strongest defensive ability to turn his entire body into metal. The fire dragon spat and drowned him in fire.

"Argh!"

Sheng Zhenyu was dead!

Like the Steel Giant, his body also melted into molten steel, and the leader of the Bloodthirst Organization of the Dark Coalition that had once terrorized the Three Cities had died in an unknown spatial island.

Qin Feng then rushed toward Sheng Zhenyu. On the ground, there was only broken rune equipment left, but amongst the equipment there were four spatial rune equipment!

One of them was a spatial waymark!

"Rise up!" A booming voice erupted from a distance. The four spatial rune equipment was controlled as they moved toward the direction of the voice.

It was Guo Xing!

As a gunner, his ability to manipulate his conscious energy was strong.

However, he had just snatched food out of the tiger's mouth.

"So, you've chosen death!" Qin Feng sneered as he instantly grabbed onto the four spatial rune equipment with his conscious energy and pulled them toward his direction.

Qin Feng's conscious energy was far too powerful.

These rune equipment were instantly in Qin Feng's grasp.

Then, Qin Feng raised his left hand and pointed at Guo Xing's direction.

Poof!

A red beam shot out from his hand.

"Fire Beam!"

The fire beam was as thick as a wrist, which was literally an energy compression beam. The beam instantly penetrated through Guo Xing's body.

Guo Xing stood still. His body was trembling, and when he looked down at his chest, he saw his rune equipment crumbling into pieces. There was a big gaping hole in his chest, with light coming through the other end.

With just one move, Guo Xing was dead!

The others were shocked by Qin Feng!

"Roar!"

While the aptitude users were battling, the Drakocroc army had finally stormed into the cave in large numbers, even the number of Drakocroc beast generals had reached up to ten.

Bai Li did not idle around when Qin Feng was fighting. Bai Li used her tiny, tender hands to rip off the Drakocroc King's skin from its carcass that was cut into halves and rolled up for the ease of storage. Now, only some flesh and bones of the Drakocroc King were left!

"Retreat!"

"Let's go, we can't stay any longer!"

"Run!"

People were retreating in the other direction.

However, it was clear that the Drakocroc army would not let them get away that easily. They began to pursue them relentlessly!

During the battle earlier, quite a number of aptitude users had died. Qin Feng alone had killed more than ten of them.

Now, there were only twenty or so aptitude users left!

When faced with the big army of Drakocroc ultra beasts, they were not strong enough to resist the Drakocrocs' sharp fangs!

'If we keep on running, we'll die for sure! Forget about it, I've already made about 100 million from this opportunity and I guess now is the time to stop, or else I might lose my precious life!' This was the thought of an aptitude user. He quickly infused his energy into a spatial rune equipment and the spatial waymark was already inscribed, he disappeared from his original spot. Then, there were seven or eight people that had done the same thing and left the place.

Now, there were only ten people left!

Yuan Han and Wu Ze both looked at each other, both of them were thinking of retreating!

"Sooner or later, I'm going to kill you!" Yuan Han's glare was murderous, she had not earned the title as the Butcheress for nothing. Even if she could not kill Qin Feng, she would still go to the so-called Fengli colony and kill everyone in it.

"Your name's Yuan Han? Don't even think about leaving!"

Qin Feng sneered and walked toward Yuan Han.

Yuan Han was quite famous, Qin Feng had heard of her name before his rebirth, and it was impossible that he would let go of the Butcheress.

Otherwise, there would definitely be countless disasters in the future.

"Heh, if I want to leave, do you think you can stop me?" Yuan Han held a spatial waymark in her hand, and it was not an altered one, but one of the tickets obtained from the auction.

Apparently, she had killed the person who had bought the ticket from the auction.

It was just that, no matter how much energy Yuan Han infused into the ticket, it would not light up at all.

Chapter 232: A Deadly Comeback

"What's going on!" Yuan Han was enraged.

"You won't be able to leave unless I say so!" Qin Feng sneered and raised his Verdant Emperor Saber, ready to slash.

Of course, it was not that Qin Feng would not let her leave, but spacemaster Bai Li was still here, and Yuan Han could only dream about leaving.

"Alright then, we'll fight!" Yuan Han roared, her internal strength had shot up into the skies and her scimitar was dancing in her hand.

In Qin Feng's opinion, these were nothing more than just a display.

"Impacting Flame!"

The flames blasted Yuan Han away as she tried to resist the rune with her internal strength, but in the next moment, she felt a deadly atmosphere around her.

"Awuu!"

A Drakocroc had its jaw wide open, ready to chomp down on her.

It was too late for her to dodge from the ferocious munch!

Rip!

The Drakocroc bit off both of her legs.

"Argh!" Yuan Han screeched in pain.

In just the blink of an eye, her entire corpse had been eaten away by the beasts.

On the other side, Lin Wuyi had also finished off Wu Ze. Wu Ze was now reduced to a puddle of corroded fluid, and all of his rune equipment was now in Lin Wuyi's hands.

At this point, there were only a dozen aptitude users left to face the army of Drakocrocs.

These people fought as they retreated. Eventually, they climbed up the other side of the huge cavern inside the cave.

However, their position was at the direct opposite of where the exit was located, and it was even more impossible for them to escape successfully.

More importantly, there was no point for them to stay here any longer!

It was just that they were faced with a dilemma.

They did not prepare any spatial rune equipment.

It was not that they did not have any. All of the people present were E-tier aptitude users, and they all had spatial rune equipment of all sizes. And they used them to hold items, but if they were to use them, everything inside would also disappear, which was simply something they could not bear with.

The reason they came here was to make money, look for greater opportunities, acquire better quality spirit herbs and hunt for stronger ultra beasts.

They could not accept having to end up losing all of it for nothing!

"Qin Feng, Mayor Qin, can you sell me one of your spatial rune equipment?"

They had no choice but to beg Qin Feng for help.

"Yes, Mayor Qin, can you sell me one too? The smaller the better!"

As the crowd was fleeing for their lives, they began to place their hopes on Qin Feng.

"The price for a rune equipment now is different from the price from before. Since this is considered a life-saving equipment, 100 million for each person. Do you want it or not?"

This was almost exactly the same price for the tickets.

Everyone glared at Qin Feng furiously.

However, when they saw that Qin Feng was caught up by a Drakocroc, yet was able to take it down with just a few moves, they dared not lash out at him!

"Folks, if you're not going to buy it, then stop following me. Leave before it's too late for you. I'm not that kind of man who would save you from a fire, so let's each go our own ways!"

Trying to take advantage of Qin Feng was simply just a dream.

In the ten years before his rebirth, Qin Feng did not lose the enthusiasm he had all along. At the same time, when he should be ruthless, he would never be merciful.

One of the men clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth.

"Fine, I'll pay!"

"Transfer the money!"

That person added Qin Feng through his communicator and transferred 100 million into his account.

When the others saw that, they no longer hesitated and transferred 100 million to Qin Feng too.

Qin Feng now had too much spatial rune equipment anyway. He had at least more than twenty of those, and after he had hurriedly glanced through everything, he picked out seven spatial rune equipment that were five or six meters in size and poured out all of its contents. Bai Li was by his side and she picked them up, putting the items into another space. After doing so, he handed over the emptied spatial rune equipment to the few buyers.

These people had paid three or four times the original price to get the spatial rune equipment. Seeing that Qin Feng was so calculative, they felt like puking blood on his face.

Whereas the raging Drakocrocs around them had not broken through Qin Feng's defense line.

"Mayor Qin, I'll never forget our meeting until I die. I hope that in the future, Mayor Qin will soar to great heights!" said one of the buyers sarcastically through gritted teeth. Although he was saying good things to him, he was actually trying to hide his anger after he was cheated off his money.

Qin Feng pretended to have not heard anything, the edge of his lips curled into a smile.

"Likewise, have a safe journey back!"

Then the man felt his chest tighten even more and his body was trembling with anger.

However, he decided to walk away at that instant.

This time, there were only five people, including Qin Feng, left in the underground cave.

"You guys should go ahead! I'll divide the beast king's loot after I tally them up!" Qin Feng said.

The army of ferocious Drakocrocs were basically punching bags for Qin Feng. Seeing that, Chi Long and Han Jian also knew what Qin Feng was planning to do. Lin Wuyi had no opinions and just nodded. He had just killed Wu Ze and acquired his spatial waymark, so he gave the waymark a slight jolt and left the scene.

Qin Feng handed two more equipment that were engraved with spatial runes to Chi Long and Han Jian, both of them left as well.

After they were both gone, Qin Feng spread out his conscious energy, and the range of his powerful SS-tier divine eye of consciousness covered almost the entire underground cave.

After making sure that there was no one else, Qin Feng put away the Scarlet Fire Claw that was on his left hand.

He held the Verdant Emperor Saber in his right hand and went on a massacre!

"Now, it's my turn!" Qin Feng's insane internal strength surged out of his body.

During the previous battle, others found it to be dangerous and perilous, but they were nothing to Qin Feng.

His internal strength had increased exponentially as he absorbed the strength of the dead ancient warriors.

Not only that, his conscious energy was enhanced once again.

E3 tier!

Now that the Drakocrocs were all inside the cave, Qin Feng intended to make a deadly comeback.

Better yet, he would be finishing off these Drakocrocs in a single breath. Killing ten thousand of the beasts would be enough for him to advance to the next tier again!

It was very difficult to ascend after E-tier, therefore only more fights could satisfy Qin Feng's needs.

Soon, Qin Feng rushed back into the huge cave and the Drakocrocs had not scattered yet. They were venting out their anger by tearing up those people's corpses, while some of the beast generals were rolling and drenching themselves in the beast king's blood. They glared at each other, as if they were going to start a fight among the community.

They were going to see which of them would be the next beast king!

Unfortunately, it was not going to happen!

"Take away the Drakocroc King's carcass!" Qin Feng commanded.

Bai Li instantly moved next to the Drakocroc King's carcass and lifted its arm. Then, the humongous body disappeared into a wisp.

"Roarrr!"

The beast generals were enraged once again, they ran over to Bai Li and tried to tear her apart.

In just the blink of an eye, Bai Li disappeared again.

Looking at the violent mob of Drakocrocs, Qin Feng began to rev up his conscious energy.

"Light of Death!"

With a blink, darkness enveloped the entire cave.

While in the darkness, there seemed to be a huge black spinning planet within the cave. It was like a black sun, emitting a deadly light which further infuriated the Drakocrocs, but their life force was slowly drained away bit by bit until all of them had died.

The Drakocroc kind went extinct!

Chapter 233: A Bountiful Harvest

A day later, Qin Feng was sitting cross-legged inside the huge cave.

"Phew!"

After taking a deep breath, Qin Feng opened his eyes.

In his dantian, his internal force had reached the 33rd layer of sea clouds.

After the chaotic battle, even if Qin Feng did not kill anyone, he would still be able to absorb the energy of the dead corpses. The absorption skill allowed him to absorb all of the internal strength of the dead corpses.

As a result, when coupled with the internal strength from previous battles, Qin Feng's internal strength had once again advanced to the next tier.

After absorbing the dark supernatural energy of the Drakocrocs, Qin Feng's physical body was strengthened and he had reached E3-tier!

With this short exploration, Qin Feng's harvest was bountiful.

The most crucial thing was his gain in terms of resources.

For the one whole day they stayed behind, Qin Feng did not do anything else other than assisting Bai Li in picking up the dropped items, and they had collected around forty spatial runic equipment in that area.

It was almost impossible to tally out the post-battle losses!

After all, the items were scattered everywhere and there were just too many.

But there was no doubt that the entire island now had nothing valuable other than its ample spiritual aura.

"Bai Li, time for us to go back now!" Qin Feng said.

With Bai Li, the spatial master here, there was no need for Qin Feng to waste two spatial runic equipment to make spatial waymarks. Moreover, Qin Feng did not plan to return to where the other aptitude users were. He decided to return to Fengli colony.

Taking a leap through space, Qin Feng and Bai Li had arrived at the mother mountain manor.

"Beep beep, beep beep."

Qin Feng and Bai Li's communicators were vibrating like crazy.

Once they had returned to Fengli colony, their communicators could not only tell time and act as detection devices, it could also communicate with other people. With the crazy vibrations, it was obvious that someone had sent him urgent messages.

When Qin Feng turned on his communicator, he saw that Chi Long, Han Jian and Lin Wuyi had all sent messages. Even the top officials of Fengli colony had inquired about his status.

"Mayor Qin, once you've returned, leave that place immediately. Sea City has changed, and now it is Lei Chen who's in power. Lei Chen was the one who sent out these spatial tickets, and now upon our return, he's forcing us to pay 200 million as a punishment. That son of a b*tch!"

"Mayor Qin, have you returned?"

"Mayor Qin, did something bad happen to you?"

Everyone else was asking about his whereabouts.

Qin Feng began to reply to their messages.

"Chi Long, I've returned to Fengli colony and I'll send you a video of the loot I've collected. Do you want the goods, or do you prefer payment through cash?"

"Lin Wuyi, return to Fengli colony!"

As for the matter of compensation that Leitang Organization and Lei Chen wanted as their punishment.

Qin Feng let out a snort, it was none of his business!

After all, Qin Feng had returned to Fengli colony. No matter how much authority Lei Chen had, there was no way he would be able to touch him here.

After that, Qin Feng informed Fengli colony about his return, and if there was anything that needed to be done, they could come to the manor to find him.

However, Qin Feng still had more important things to do now.

"Xiao Bai, come on, let's plant everything we've gathered!"

"Yay!"

Previously, Bai Li wanted to build a garden so Qin Feng had hired people to change the water fountain into a flowing stream. Now, Qin Feng threw some natural energy cores he had obtained in the wilderness into the stream and placed a few living silver pearl shells in it. He also planted some herbs that he had collected.

Other herbs such as darkglow that were found in the cave were planted in the garden in Qin Feng's backyard.

Although these herbs could not prove its usefulness in such a short period of time, they were worthwhile investments that would become money trees in the future.

Moreover, these plants would make the mother mountain's aura denser.

In Fengli colony, Xue Xingfu was the first person to step into the manor. Other people had no business with Qin Feng, but Xue Xingfu was the one that Qin Feng called to come over.

The chubby Xue Xingfu walked through the corridor and saw that Qin Feng and Bai Li had their hands full of dirt, like they were planting flowers.

A young man does not know how to grieve!

Xue Xingfu shook his head as he said, "Mayor, you look so laid-back!"

It was obvious that his words did not match his real feelings.

There was a bright smile on his face, but it quickly turned into dismay.

"These… Are these spirit herbs?"

Qin Feng did not bother to bat an eye at Xue Xingfu. "You think I'm laid-back? Remember to find me a wood ability user to take care of this place for me. Don't let my plants die when I go out to train for half a month!"

Bai Li was still planting with excitement as Qin Feng ushered Xue Xingfu to the main hall.

"How are the preparations for the underground black market that I've assigned for you to establish?" Qin Feng asked.

"It's already set up in a hidden place, but…" Xue Xingfu wanted to stop talking, but he continued on, "Will this work? Even if you want to make a name for yourself, you still require the goods!"

The underground black market established by Qin Feng could be found in many places in the outside world, but in the Three Cities, no such place existed.

It was a place to redistribute stolen goods without the fear of being found, and there was an advantage in terms of pricing where one would be able to snag items at a cheaper price.

As for where the items came from, no one would ask about it.

That was why it was called a black market.

That was because most of these items were probably obtained through killing people.

In fact, this was common in the colonies built by dark organizations, but how much integrity did the members of these dark organizations have in them?

After purchasing an item from them, they might kill you in just the blink of an eye. Then, they would resell the item again and your life savings would be spent in vain.

Hence, such underground black markets required a transparent identity to instil trust in their customers.

Qin Feng did not lack the identity, and trust was something that one had to amass, but as for the goods…

"Take a look at these. These items are not for the colony, they have been acquired through private transactions, and the black market can get some commissions through these!"

As Qin Feng was speaking, he threw his combat backpack on the table.

Xue Xingfu was puzzled.

"What good stuff do we have here?"

How many good items can you actually stuff in a combat backpack?

When Xue Xingfu opened the backpack, his jaw dropped on the floor!

This was a backpack full of spatial runic equipment.

"Mayor, Boss, whatever, I'll call you big brother, where did you get these?" Xue Xingfu was getting all excited. Such a big batch of rune equipment was equivalent to earning easy money!

"We're not just going to sell rune equipment, there is still other good stuff inside!"

Seeing how excited Xue Xingfu had gotten, Qin Feng kindly reminded him.

Xue Xingfu was still in shock. As he checked every rune equipment, he found out that there really were a lot of items inside the backpack.

"Okay, I'll tally them up right away!" Xue Xingfu was simply fired up.

After all, there were just too many items inside, and most of them were in bits and pieces!

"Go on then!" Qin Feng waved his hand and had the stoked Xue Xingfu take his leave. "Remember, once the items are sold out, use all of the collected funds to acquire every single E-tier beast king crystal you can find!"

"Understood, Boss!" Xue Xingfu replied excitedly.

Chapter 234: Returning to Fengli

After that, Chi Long returned with the news, planning to directly claim the money. On the other hand, Han Jian was still waiting for Qin Feng in Sea City and had no idea that Qin Feng had already gone back!

He still suggested that swapping it for cash was a proper idea. After getting duped by Lei Chen, neither of them had expendable cash left!

After all, if they were to ask for a return in the form of goods, Lei Chen would have undercut them and given only two hundred million worth of items.

Qin Feng was the one with money, even with Lei Chen cheating everyone, Qin Feng had managed to cheat seven people in one go. These seven people were the ones who had lost their life savings.

"Taking into account the Drakocroc King, combined with the other spoils, there's approximately three billion worth. We can split that up into three hundred million each, it was a pleasure working with you!"

"The feeling is mutual! Qin Feng, you're really impressive!" Han Jian replied.

"Qin Feng, I hope we'll work together again in the future!" Chi Long was also happy, after all it was quite fruitful this time.

"Alright!" Qin Feng replied to the two before paying Lin Wuyi three hundred million, and with that everything else was divided between those who were involved.

After a day of adding things up, Xue Xingfu got a large number of people, including the senior management, to handle the auditing. After the amount had been calculated, even Qin Feng was surprised.

"Thirty four billion?"

"That's right! This is the number!" Xue Xingfu had not slept well last night as he kept on staring at the number. When he was in Chengbei colony, he was involved in many types of business transactions but those were only around tens of millions. Even then, that was too much money for him to take out and he ended up having to settle using mortgages!

Xue Xingfu's heart trembled as he stared at the total amount. Following Qin Feng was the way to go!

Qin Feng returned to his senses and realized that this was actually considered a normal figure. He had taken more than forty pieces of spatial runic equipment. Not only that, some of the aptitude users were carrying rune equipment that was worth quite a lot, not forgetting those integrated spatial buttons.

In fact, the spirit herbs that Qin Feng collected from the aptitude users had not even been accounted for yet, nor the boxes of power credits!

In these few boxes, the number of power credits was somewhat scattered. Although some were missing, Qin Feng estimated that there were probably a million power credits in there.

No, it was ten billion!

From what they went through this time around, Qin Feng probably made a full profit of fifty billion yuan.

This wealth was incredible.

'This should be enough for the crystal cores that will turn Xiao Bai into a D-tier beast emperor!'

Although he had a lot of money, raising a girlfriend with unlimited potential was extremely expensive.

"Boss, everything should be ready now. We're only lacking one tiny crucial item. Now, all we need is an eye-catching advertisement, and then the underground black market can be set up!" Xue Xingfu said excitedly.

Advertising?

When Qin Feng heard the word, his expression darkened as he thought about the time Xue Xingfu used him to advertise Fengli colony.

But now, Qin Feng had a good idea for an eye-catching advertisement.

"When I was on that foreign island I killed quite a number of those Dark Coalition people, including She-Wolf, people from the Bloodthirst Organization and et cetera. I've kept these people's heads and I was planning to go to a bounty hunter to collect the money. You can get some photos of them from the past and announced that I've killed these people. Now that we can sell the things we got from them, there'll definitely be people who will come!"

Fact of the matter was, Qin Feng did not only kill those from the Dark Coalition, he also took down someone from Chengyang City.

Combat in the wilderness had always been executed under a state of bloodlust, nobody would hold it against Qin Feng. Condemning him was useless as in the end, actions speak the loudest.

On that day, Qin Feng drove to the bounty hunter base in Chengbei colony.

Being one of the richest organizations on the planet, the front door of the Bounty Hunter Hall was extravagantly large, which indicated how lucrative this part-time job was.

However, many people did not dare choose this job, killing was easy but being killed was even easier.

As he stepped out of the car, everyone that saw him took in a deep breath.

"E-tier!"

"He's… He's Qin Feng! Wait, no, Mayor Qin!"

"He looks even younger than in the ad. Is this what a genius looks like? He looks about seventeen!"

They whispered among themselves, looking on with admiration as he stepped into the Bounty Hunter Hall. Everyone was wondering the same thing, what was he doing in the Bounty Hunter Hall?

At this time, Zhang Haoyang who greeted Qin Feng was also curious. "Mayor Qin, what brings you here today? Reaped any large gains lately?" He asked while pouring water for him in a respectful manner.

Qin Feng was no longer the boy he knew a few months ago!

An E-tier ability user, ancient warrior and a gunner as well!

The district chief of Fengli colony.

The fuse that blew up the Xin family.

Some even said that Qin Feng could be the next person to reach D tier.

The news kept coming and sometimes Zhang Haoyang wondered, was Qin Feng actually human?

"Yeah, I've come to collect the bounty rewards. Here, identify these!" As Qin Feng took out the heads one by one, Zhang Haoyang's facial expression was that of utter shock.

"She-Wolf!"

"This is Yuan Han!"

"Guo Xing!"

"…"

One by one, they were called by their names. Qin Feng did not recognize some of them, but they must have been powerful people within the Dark Coalition. After all, they had all reached E-tier, which meant that they would have been pretty infamous.

In addition to the Bloodthirst Organization's She-Wolf, Qin Feng took out five more, three of whom were wanted.

As a result, 8.7 billion worth of bounty fell into Qin Feng's lap. This really was very profitable.

"Mayor Qin, what… what have you been doing?"

Qin Feng merely smiled. "Not much. There was an auction held by the Wanzong Organization. These people went there and I went to take their heads!"

Zhang Haoyang was speechless

Every year during the auction held by the Wanzong Organization, these Dark Coalition members would go there to 'cull the sheep' and they became infamous through that.

Who would have thought that one day they would unexpectedly become the sheep?

"Please wait for a moment, Sir, I have to verify this, and I will handle this for you immediately!"

It was not too long of a wait. After only an hour, the bounty hunter's internal operations confirmed the news. After all, there were other people who came back from the foreign island and they knew who killed these people.

Soon, Zhang Haoyang processed the matter and the Bounty Hunter Network immediately transferred the bounty to Qin Feng's account. Not only that, an announcement rang out in the bounty hunter base,

"Congratulations on becoming an E-tier bounty hunter. Thanks to your outstanding contribution, you have restored order to the aftermath of chaos. Golden Hunter special privileges have been granted."

"Next time you hunt down criminals, you will receive a 10% from the subsequent funds as a reward!"

"I hope you will continue to work hard!"

With this good news, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction and bid Zhang Haoyang goodbye.

On the same day, the news of She-Wolf and the other people's bounty being collected was immediately spread throughout the Three Cities. After all, it was a bounty worth billions.

Moreover, more shocking news surfaced.

Chapter 235: Stirring the Bounty Hunters

One by one, the bounties of the E-tier aptitude users on the bounty hunter network were removed. The revoked bounties were all wanted criminals in the Three Cities, all of them were E-tiers!

Combine that with She-Wolf, there were a total of eight.

Some of the high-level officials were shaken by the news.

With the return of the E-tier aptitude users to Sea City, the shocking news continued to spread. In the face of these huge losses, the people in the Three Cities were frustrated, especially those in the colonies.

Infighting within a colony was commonplace, but the E-tier aptitude users represented the power of a colony. If even one were lost, it was actually a matter that would break the equilibrium. This situation was a complete loss for them.

And now, someone had collected the heads of those from the Dark Coalition, and everyone was able to perceive that this person was the true winner of this foreign battlefield.

Within a short amount of time, Qin Feng was pushed into the center of all the hooha. He could not hide this matter from anyone, those who had returned knew that it was Qin Feng who killed those Dark Coalition members, and he even killed people who were from other organizations.

The seven E-tier aptitude users that Qin Feng duped had also suggested that he be marked as a wanted criminal so he would not have the freedom to move around the cities as he pleased.

Who would have expected that Qin Feng would have handed over the heads and become a Gold Medal Bounty Hunter, making him even more famous. It was also at this time that Xue Xingfu published the advertisement that attracted an overwhelming amount of attention.

In the video, the arrogant visages of these wanted criminals were displayed which instantly drew in people's attention.

These were the evidence of their crimes.

She-Wolf was shown brutally strangling a pregnant woman, and in the next moment, pulling a knife from seemingly out of nowhere and slashing her head off.

"High-Level Criminal: She-Wolf, Slain!"

In the next clip was Sheng Zhenyu. As a metal ability user, he once jumped in front of a public transport to intercept it before crushing the entire thing into a cube like it was a tin can. Blood seeped from the crumpled heap of metal.

In the next moment, a burst of flame came from around the corner and enveloped him.

"High-Level Criminal: Metal Menace, Slain!"

Clip after clip, the screen flashed with the announcement that all eight people were dead.

The last image that appeared was a picture of Fengli Colony, a shopping complex and some black silhouettes being guided by an attendant or waiter.

"The loot belongs to the winner, Fengli colony's Underground Market awaits your custom!"

"The prices are one percent lower than normal market prices. Want to trade or receive loot anonymously? Not a problem!"

"The safest passage. The most confidential measures. The fairest prices."

"Trustworthy, safe, reliable!"

For the lower tier aptitude users, they would not quite be able to grasp the meaning of this but the E-tier aptitude users were shaken to the core.

Qin Feng killed these people and he intended to just pawn off their stuff to anonymous people? Not only that, Qin Feng had in fact killed more than just these people. There was bound to be good loot in his hands.

If the E-tier aptitude users wanted to kill an E-tier ultra beast, they might have to team up for it. This also led to the fact that among the Three Cities, E-tier rune equipment was quite rare.

Some people were very envious of what they had.

"She-Wolf has a pair of beast general winged boots!"

"I've always wanted Yuan Han's twin blades, they are beast general tier too!"

"I need to change to a larger spatial runic equipment."

"I didn't dare sell the things I got from an aptitude user I killed, maybe now I can give it a try?"

Ideas popped in one after another within this group of people's heads. However, not everyone was satisfied with Qin Feng's attitude.

Among them included the newer members of the Leitang Organization.

Lei Chen was a D-tier aptitude user. He was a busy man and hardly ever handled the little things but that did not stop him from trying to deal with Qin Feng.

"This Qin Feng came out through my waymark from the island and didn't even give me any money. He has no regard for me at all. In that case, we'll have to teach him a lesson!" Lei Chen barked out an order, "Find Dark Coalition members that have little connection with us. I'll provide the weapons and show him a thing or two about respect!"

"Yes, Mayor!"

"That's right. This time, I've seized Sea City, it should be fine for a while. I'm going out on a mission and I'll be back in three months' time. By the time I get back, I don't want to see this Qin Feng person again!"

"No problem, Mayor. He's only taking advantage of the chaos. Now that he's letting his guard down and getting too over-confident, he doesn't know that even the tallest trees will get damaged by the gales. Non-conformity begets punishment, this kind of person would only last a few days!"

"Good, I'll leave this to you!"

Lei Chen waved his hand to dismiss his underlings, no longer bothered about Qin Feng. He was just like Chengyang City's Bai Tianyang. Both of them did not care who the mayor of Fengli colony was.

The difference between E-tier and D-tier was worlds apart!

It had been a few days since the ad was broadcasted, yet no one came to buy anything. This made Xue Xingfu anxious.

He was a shrewd businessman and knew that this venture was extremely profitable, many people would have been tempted! He did not care about the people from other cities but Chengyang City was nearby, and the advertisement was aired there first. There must be some people who would be interested!

Qin Feng suppressed the urge to sigh at the sight of Xue Xingfu. Though Xue Xingfu was the number one profiteer in the world before his rebirth, he was too young right now.

However, Qin Feng believed that with his support, Xue Xingfu would excel faster than before.

"Relax, they're just waiting for someone to be the first person to do the honors!" Qin Feng said.

"Should we get someone to act as a trustee? Someone like General Han?" Xue Xingfu asked.

Qin Feng smiled. "Those people already know that General Han came back with me and whatever business we had together was already done. Don't worry about it, because of that they wouldn't hold their breath any longer!"

Punctuating his sentence was a loud alarm that rang throughout the entire colony. In the sky above Zimu Mountains, the spatial stabilization device flashed bright red and blared out a warning.

"Powerful E-tier missile detected flying toward Fengli colony. Point of impact: city gate!"

"Please turn on the protective energy shield!"

"Estimated time of arrival in T-minus 1 minute and 30 seconds. Beginning countdown."

"Beep Beep Beep! Hostile attack. Please hide in your basements!"

The entire Fengli colony was thrown into chaos.

Many civilians did not expect this to happen. Ever since they had come here, there had not been even an ultra beast attack but now there was a man-made disaster.

On the outskirts of the colony, three figures stood on elevated ground.

"This stuff ain't bad. Too bad it's used on Fengli colony, feels like it's a waste of 100 million yuan!" One of them said, looking to be about in his thirties, with a bit of disappointment in his voice. The thought of entering the colony and getting some powerful loot filled his eyes with greed.

"Whatever. We didn't make it ourselves. It's already been launched, now we just need to be careful."

"Hmph, we're all Dark Coalition people, heads of the mercenary regiment. The guys that lick blood from the blade's edge. You're afraid of this? Don't let other people's deeds extinguish your prestige. Besides, Qin Feng just got lucky. Killing Yuan Han and the rest? Hah! I don't believe it."

Chapter 236: Battling Alone

The three watched Fengli colony from a distance and they could just about imagine the mushroom cloud that it would become after the explosion.

These three were all from different organizations, none of them were as notorious as She-Wolf but they were just about as dangerous as those from the Bloodthirst Organization.

They all had their codenames, the gunner One-Eye who obviously had one eye but possessed powerful consciousness that made him an excellent gunner.

The one that warned them all to be careful was known as Shademaster, a dark ability user as well as a beastmaster. He tended to be the last thing his victims saw.

The one that seemed to be the most easily agitated was known as Savage King, an E-tier parallel-training ancient warrior. His body was like titanium alloy and his strength was immense.

This time they joined forces under the flag of peace that was naturally forged by Lei Chen, even providing them with the incentives to do so.

A firearm that was a beast-king-tier purple rune equipment!

This incentive was strong enough to kill an E-tier aptitude user outright, the sight alone was enough to make people's knees weak!

Now that these three had joined forces, they did not believe that Qin Feng would be able to take them on!

Within the base, Qin Feng focused internal force over his eyes and saw the missile in the air! Meanwhile, the workers in the space stabilizing device were still anxiously waiting for the order to raise the energy shield.

Qin Feng did not have time to think as he let out an audible sneer. "Xiao Bai, get me that big one!"

"This one?" Bai Li pulled out a gun tower, the exact same one that belonged to Wu Ze.

Bai Li's space was not as small as Wu Ze's so the gun tower was already assembled the moment it was brought out.

Qin Feng quickly added in an artillery shell before aiming it at the missile.

"Fire!" Qin Feng barked, pressing the button.

Pew!

The artillery shell with long fins at the rear flew straight up into the air. This artillery shell shrieked loudly as it zipped through the air, causing the civilians that had been running away to take note of the white line that was streaking over Zimu Mountains. They all knew what it meant.

When the colony was under attack, they had the means to defend themselves. They just did not know who would win in the end.

In less than half a minute, the two artillery shells had already collided with one another.

BOOM!

This missile came from five hundred meters away from Fengli colony and the huge explosion could be heard by everyone within the colony. There was ringing in their ears but they did not feel any tremors!

Needless to say, the missile was intercepted in mid-air!

In the distance, the once proud One-Eye's face fell into a gloomy expression when he witnessed this. Since it was so far away he did not use his machine to track it, neither did he feel anything blocking him.

"A consciousness shield, does the Fengli colony have an E-tier aptitude user?" One-Eye mumbled.

"Impossible. I heard that Fengli colony only has three E-tier aptitude users. One of them is still on the road and has not yet returned, and another is a seemingly fragile little girl, but that one isn't a gunner!" Shademaster said.

"Is it still gonna work? If not why don't I just rush in and kill everything in sight? What a waste of ammo!" Savage King said disdainfully while glancing to the side.

One-Eye glared at Savage King after loading in another missile.

"Well, I don't believe it yet!"

They then heard the shriek of a large artillery shell which they had not noticed before. Undoubtedly, consciousness shielding had muffled the sound and it was only when it was within one hundred meters of their range that they could hear it coming.

"Get out of here!" One-Eye's daylights got spooked right out of him; he no longer cared about the two and began to run away the moment he turned his back on them.

Savage King and Shademaster soon followed his example.

Boom!

The shell that crashed onto the small hill that they were on immediately leveled it.

After the second shell was fired, the people within the colony felt a slight tremor coming from the distance and they suddenly knew what had just happened.

There was someone of a higher level counter-attacking the invaders. Realizing this, they were all brimming with excitement.

"The one who fired from the direction of Zimu Mountains, was that the mayor?"

"Did the mayor hit them? What happened there?"

"Is this the power of gunners? That's so cool! I… I wanna be a gunner too when I grow up!"

The residents of the colony were all paying close attention to this battle.

Xue Xingfu stood in the building, watching a continuous stream of news. In the next moment, he received a direct message.

"Quick, send the image to all advertising screens and the colony's internal communication network. Live broadcast!"

Nobody objected. They had great trust in Qin Feng.

Soon, the picture was aired on all the screens on the buildings of Fengli colony, or the public screen of a car, or everybody's communicators.

While it was not recorded by drones, they could vaguely see the image of the traces of destruction left on the hillside. When the dust settled, they saw a tank-like gun tower that had been destroyed.

A cheer erupted from the people and some felt proud of their colony.

Then, the screen shifted as a running figure appeared on it. Their speed was so fast that it was incredible, turning into a blur as they ran. By the time a drone was properly deployed, the figure had already disappeared.

Fortunately, there was a high power monitoring system on the space stabilizing device. It detected three people on that destroyed hillside with another figure rapidly approaching.

Everyone could recognize the figure, it was Qin Feng's silhouette.

"You three came here uninvited and launched such an attack? I don't like meeting ceremonies like this!" Qin Feng was dressed in combat gear, but because of the changes made by the Magical Tesseract it did not give off any glow. From the looks alone, it looked just like a regular old combat gear.

The three seemed more confident against someone who was not wearing rune equipment.

One-Eye's face contorted with sinister intent, for something so rare and precious to have been destroyed by Qin Feng naturally made him angry.

"You're Qin Feng, boy? You don't look so tough, and I thought you were supposed to have some kind of remarkable power."

One-Eye had a pair of guns in his hands that appeared to be decomposition blasters. "You're dead!"

Without giving an explanation, One-Eye launched his attack.

Bzzt!

Two rays of light flew out at lightning speed, forming into a triangle that covered the area that Qin Feng was standing on. If he had been careless, he would have been disintegrated and killed right there and then.

"Phantom Motion Steps!" Qin Feng quickly lept out of the way.

The other two looked at each other and they then joined in.

They did not behave like gentlemen, a one-on-one was not their go to anyway. The most important thing was to take down Qin Feng and the best way to do so was to go at him together.

"Bone Claw!"

Two skeletal claws burst out from the ground under Qin Feng, grabbing at him by the waist like a bear trap.

Crack!

Qin Feng's movements were quick, how could he let just a pair of Bone Claws stop him? He broke free after smashing the bones into little pieces.

"Die!" Savage King barrelled toward him, a bright glow coming from a silver glove on his fist.

Boom!

Another punch came in.

"Who's the one that needs to die?"

Qin Feng did not dodge this one, instead parrying it with a punch of his own. Even when his fist was not wrapped in anything it still exerted a powerful force.

Bang!

The two fists collided, letting out a huge booming sound.

Chapter 237: One against Three

The two of them backed off at the same time, but Savage King seemed to have been sent flying backward.

Bzzt!

One-Eye's decomposition blaster beams once again wrapped around Qin Feng.

The three's cooperation was not perfect but they came in one after the other, not giving time for him to even catch his breath.

The people in the colony that were watching the fight on video broke out into a cold sweat for Qin Feng's sake.

On the hill side, Qin Feng's internal force was churning, his feet moving like the wind.

"Phantom Motion Steps!"

He hopped back three meters in the blink of an eye, narrowly avoiding the decomposition beams.

"Verdant Emperor Saber!" With a wave of his hand, he pulled his weapon out of his spatial rune equipment with a flourish.

"Burning Sword Glare!" Flames erupted from the blade and immediately rushed toward One-Eye.

The rune equipment boots One-Eye had on flickered continuously and pushed him high into the sky, allowing him to avoid Qin Feng's attack.

"Summoning Ability: Fiendish Image!" Shademaster raised his hand and urged forth his consciousness, the dark runes gathering were familiar to Qin Feng.

In the next moment, a huge shadow appeared behind Qin Feng. The shadow instantly twisted around Qin Feng and wrapped itself around him.

Shademaster's face spread into a sinister smile. "Gotcha!"

"Haha!" One-Eye also let out a laugh. Although this was his first time working with Shademaster, this kind of cooperation was naturally more beneficial. The Shademaster was indeed a good partner.

One-Eye raised his decomposition blasters again and fired at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was originally wrapped up by this shadow, allowing him to measure its strength and quickly figure out a way to break down the rune structure of this ability rune.

It was indeed a very powerful ability. Unfortunately, the one it encountered was Qin Feng.

"Dark Shadow!"

Qin Feng's body seemed to have melded into the shadows of the Fiendish Image. While hidden in the dark, Qin Feng moved through the shadows and fell upon Shademaster in the blink of an eye.

"Look out!" Savage King rushed in from behind, seeing that Qin Feng was almost about to cut down Shademaster with his saber, and went for the rescue.

He did not do it out of sentimentality, no, it was because Shademaster was a powerful ally and it would be difficult to hunt down Qin Feng without his help.

Qin Feng saw Savage King approaching but he did not slow down his actions in the slightest.

"Then, you can both die together!"

"Blooming Flames!"

A gout of flame swept out in a line.

"Stubborn Stone!" Savage King's body exploded with internal strength, the exposed skin briefly turning grey like that of a stone's.

Boom!

There came the sound of impact and Savage King was knocked to the side again.

It looked like it was not enough to defend against Qin Feng's attack as he ended up receiving a large gash over his arm as blood spattered onto the ground.

Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber was unimpeded and he swung it again, this time his target was Shademaster.

Thanks to Savage King's distraction that saved him, he managed to avoid the first attack. Now that he knew that Qin Feng's speed was unbeatable, his consciousness surged forth again!

"Awaken!"

With a boom, a huge coffin erupted from the ground between Qin Feng and Shademaster.

This coffin was at least two meters tall and was made out of metal, which allowed it to deflect Qin Feng's blow.

Ping!

The coffin lid suddenly fell toward Qin Feng, forcing him to quickly back off. Within the coffin, there was a ferocious looking humanoid ultra beast.

This was Shademaster's tamed beast. Not only that, this was his trump card. He had not expected to have to pull out the best tool from his box this early in the battle.

An extremely powerful Ancient Ghoul. It was at least an E-tier beast general.

This time, Qin Feng went from being one against three to being one against four.

Within the colony, countless people were watching this unfold on their screens and wished that they could help. After all, these people were surrounding and attacking Qin Feng, and that made them feel extremely frustrated.

They were not just worried about Qin Feng, they were also worried about themselves. What if he lost? What would happen to them?

By now, they no longer wanted to run away. Some people were frozen in place, staring closely at the big screen and anticipating the results of this battle.

Shademaster, the Ancient Ghoul, One-Eye and Savage King formed a square around Qin Feng, all staring intently at him.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong, Mayor Qin. You've even forced me to pull out my ace in the hole. I'll have you know, whoever it sees will be ripped apart by its teeth!" Shademaster said coldly.

Qin Feng's eyes swept across all of them and he stowed away the Verdant Emperor Saber.

"Well, that's unfortunate. I'm afraid it'll have to go hungry then!" he said.

Savage King's arm had already stopped bleeding with the use of his internal force. He stared at Qin Feng disdainfully as he watched him put his saber away.

"Are you planning on surrendering? Or are you planning to escape since you are putting your weapons away? Don't tell me you are gonna start begging for mercy?"

One-Eye's good eye locked onto Qin Feng, as long as he could find an opening he would not hesitate to raise his weapons to kill the guy.

Qin Feng let out a frosty laugh. "I don't need a weapon to deal with you!"

He glanced at the text he received on his communicator, it was from Xue Xingfu.

"Boss, go at it with a bit more flare. Everyone in the colony is watching you!"

Well, that was unexpected.

He was right though, right now Fengli Colony was under attack by the Dark Coalition and this probably would not be the last time.

If the colony were attacked often, it would bring turmoil and drive people away out of fear for their lives. Especially rich businessmen. For them, a safe colony was a particular necessity, after all, what was the point of having money if you did not have the chance to spend it.

This time, Qin Feng did not only have to beat his opponents, he had to beat them down in a flashy manner.

What was more flashy than abilities?

With this in mind, Qin Feng's consciousness surged and his Scarlet Fire Claw was already floating in his hand.

"Not good!" Shademaster's mouth widened into that of an 'O' shape, directing his Ancient Ghoul to charge at Qin Feng.

"Kill!"

Savage King noticed Qin Feng's movements and moved in quickly without hesitating.

The abilities of ability users were strange and powerful. They had heard that Qin Feng was an ability user but the boy came at them with ancient martial arts, which gave them the impression that his abilities were probably weak

But… this was not what they had imagined.

"Fire Dragon!"

Qin Feng suddenly manifested his own flame runes, and for a moment, flames rocketed into the air.

A monstrously huge dragon spawned out of the roaring flames, circling around Qin Feng as its large body forcibly made the Ancient Ghoul and Savage King back off.

"You!" Qin Feng pointed at One-Eye.

"No! You! Consciousness Arrow!"

The other party blasted his consciousness at Qin Feng in a quick and sudden movement. Gunners were always confident when it came to their conscious energy, even in the face of ability users.

One-Eye used this move against him and was expecting that the induced vertigo would be able to cancel Qin Feng's Fire Dragon Style.

It was a shame that his move did not seem to work at all!

The roaring fire dragon rushed right toward him!

"Huh?!"

Even with defense from his rune equipment, One-Eye still let out a panicked yell as the huge dragon bit down on his neck. The flame morphed into a rope-like shape before violently dragging One-Eye toward Qin Feng.

"Die!"

Qin Feng struck with a blow that connected to where One-Eye's heart was.

Boom!

The defensive rune equipment he had on flickered in a wild frenzy as it tried to defend its wearer, but Qin Feng's punch was the equivalent of a direct hit from a beast king, and this time he did not hold back.

Crack!

He could hear the sound of One-Eye's broken bones, and in the next moment, One-Eye was sent flying.

The fire dragon returned to its original form and released One-Eye's body before turning to rush toward Shademaster.

The Ancient Ghoul also rushed over to protect its master.

Savage King rushed at Qin Feng again to clash in a close quarter combat. The two met each other with punches and kicks, every blow producing a thumping sound.

This was different from his first blow. Last time, he was holding back, but now he no longer had the desire to.

A quick decision makes for a quick battle.

"Asteroid Assimilation!" Qin Feng's internal force erupted outward, wrapping around Savage King! One should know that at this point Qin Feng's Asteroid Assimilation had reached a whole nother level thanks to him cultivating his internal power, making the move even more powerful.

A fog cover began to form around them and Savage King felt like he was stuck in the mud.

Qin Feng reached out and his hands slipped, he ended up grabbing Savage King by the arm.

Crack!

Savage King's arm was broken.

"Ah!!!"

Savage King let out a cry, his internal force violently broke out as he fought back using his own martial arts. His dazzling movements were hard to follow with the human eye.

The wild style of this E-tier ancient warrior was just frightening. However, ordinary people would not have known that under the effects of Qin Feng's Asteroid Assimilation, Savage King's fighting ability had been greatly reduced. Otherwise, it would have been much stronger than it was now.

Savage King was no more than a clown hopping around in Qin Feng's hands.

Crack!

Qin Feng broke Savage King's other arm.

His strongest blows came from his fists but now both his arms were broken. Even for Savage King, who was an extremely cruel person, he felt fear encroaching his heart, and all he wanted to do was run away to save himself.

Savage King took a step back before frantically retreating.

Qin Feng sneered and Asteroid Assimilation surged forth again.

A frenzied absorption spread forward and Qin Feng's speed drastically increased before he struck Savage King in the back.

He hit very close to the center of Savage King's dantian. The Asteroid Assimilation ability madly consumed the other's internal force, the sea of clouds of internal power gushed out like water from a dam, quickly running dry in an instant.

Without internal force, Savage King could no longer defend himself

Crack!

Savage King's head was suddenly spun at an incredible angle of a hundred and eighty degrees. Qin Feng let go of the man's head, and like a tower made out of iron, the burly body toppled over with a loud thud.

Now, the situation had been entirely flipped over, and Qin Feng had just taken down two people.

The fire dragon was still raging wildly, and even the powerful Ancient Ghoul was afraid of the flames. It was gradually getting slower in speed due to a lot of its parts being burnt, the thing was well on its way of becoming a charred ghoul.

Shademaster was also feeling fearful now!

"Dark Shadow!" He unleashed his ability, using the cover of darkness to block out people's sight and turned tail to run.

Then, in the dark, a dim glow struck his body.

"This…" he lowered his head and saw his body rapidly aging. There were liver spots appearing on his hands, he was turning from a healthy youth to a drooping old man.

In the blink of an eye, his skin had dried out like a prune as all the moisture was drawn from it.

"Oh, right. Your brain still has its uses!" Qin Feng said, raising his hand to move the dark runes away from the other's body. Shademaster's current appearance was haggard, like he had not slept for many days.

He did not have time to rejoice being set free because Qin Feng pulled out his saber and brought it down like a guillotine.

The dark runes soon dissipated and everyone regained visuals of the area. All they saw were three heads that were flung up into the sky and an Ancient Ghoul collapsing into a pile of ashes.

Qin Feng stood on the hill side, his figure looking very imposing as he raised his hand to recall the fire dragon back to him. Such a sight was shocking for everyone.

He then turned on his communicator and directly messaged Xue Xingfu: "Turn off the feed. People don't need to watch me collect loot, it's not appropriate!"

Xue Xingfu understood this and naturally ended the video feed.

The people in Fengli colony did not understand this because of the initial shock, but the moment the feed disappeared they realized that the battle was over!

This was a battle between advanced aptitude users?

None of it seemed human. How terrifying!

For a time, the battle became the only topic that the residents would talk about.

At this time, Qin Feng was collecting the spoils of war left by the three. Their heads were removed, their spatial rune equipment taken away, and their rune equipment searched and valued.

"They are all quite rich!"

One piece of E-tier silver light rune equipment could only be made using beast king tier materials with a large amount of production cost. One piece was worth hundreds of millions and if it were good it would be worth at least one billion. All of the three had that kind of rune equipment, no wonder Qin Feng would call them rich.

After all, he did not know that this was sponsored by Lei Chen. He was also surprised when he found Shademaster's spatial storage that contained a piece of rolled-up parchment that looked like a cheat sheet.

It was directed for the usage of dark runes, including the Bone Claws that he faced earlier along with the secret method of controlling Ancient Ghouls!

"This dark ability is stronger than I expected. Maybe I can use this one day to have an easier time dealing with beast hordes!"

He decided to keep the sheet for himself and put the rest up for auction in his underground black market!

Once everything was packed up, he turned on his communicator and contacted Zhang Haoyang. "I collected the heads of three criminals here, but Fengli colony currently needs someone to defend it. So, if it's not too much trouble, would you please come over to verify them?"

Zhang Haoyang was stunned when he heard the news but then he quickly agreed. "Sure thing, I'll head over immediately!"

While he was doing that, Xue Xingfu had already put out a new round of advertising. This time, the content of the ad showcased Qin Feng's battle against the three men that threatened Fengli colony. They were Qin Feng's latest trophies.

"Alright… this feels like we're showing off a bit too much. This might scare people off. Maybe a more subtle approach?" Xue Xingfu put on a cunning smile and then put out another round of advertising.

"As long as you don't act up, Fengli gives you the safest guarantee."

"Of course, in this world, there would always be some unruly people!"

The heads of the three were displayed in the most public and direct manner.

All the E-tier aptitude users of the Three Cities fell silent. There were some people that had also wanted to head over just to cause some trouble, now they dared not to.

Half a day later, during midnight. Fengli's underground black market ushered in its first customer. This person was actually donning a dark robe, just like how Xue Xingfu had previously advertised.

This person was actually from the Dark Coalition and had already met Qin Feng before.

Chapter 239: The Opening of the Underground Black Market

He was one of those that had escaped the foreign island first.

Most people called him Jackal as a reference to his cunning nature. He belonged to the Dark Coalition based in the Three Cities. The money on his head was even greater than She-Wolf's—a whopping amount of two billion.

He was famous for his double-cross act. Working as a loner in Sea City, he would rarely hunt mutated beasts and prefered human targets more.

Qin Feng knew Jackal was the one that killed Liu Ba from Dong Ling.

He did not come alone. His followers were holding at least another five spatial runic equipment.

"I am here to sell. Also, what's the price of the silver light rune equipment from Savage King that you guys killed today?"

Xue Xingfu was there to greet their first customer personally.

"The silver light rune equipment was obtained in perfect shape. Since we have promised a 10% discount on all items, the item is currently priced at 1.2 billion."

It was indeed cheaper than in other places. Such an item usually costs around 1.4 billion in the market.

Jackal nodded and handed over his spatial runic equipment. He also passed on several items that were probably valuable but had no use of. It was hard to identify their origin, and it would not be easy to find a suitor.

"Quote these!"

Xue Xingfu scanned the items and estimated the price. "Mister, these are probably worth around 780 million. However, we will be charging a small fee for absorbing the equipment and spatial runic equipment from our customers. I hope you can accept our final offer, which is 700 million."

Jackal frowned in anger. "What?!"

He took on a tough stance and exuded an explosive aura. The aura of an E-tier ancient warrior was suffocating.

Obviously, Jackal was unsatisfied with the price.

The chubby face of Xue Xingfu twitched slightly. But he stood by his point. "Like it or not, that's how we do things here. You are at no risk here as we guarantee your payment."

Jackal was about to threaten the manager again, only to realize he had been locked on by another conscious energy.

It was a horrifying feeling. The conscious energy seemed to have taken control over Jackal's body in an instant. He could feel the pressure mounting between his brows as if his head would explode if he dare say another word.

Jackal was stupefied.

'Qin Feng! Must be him!'

Jackal gulped and then gave in reluctantly. "700 million it is."

He regretted coming here. Fearing that Qin Feng might assault him anytime, he wished to acquire the silver light rune equipment and leave as quickly as possible.

Xue Xingfu wasted no time and asked for the rune equipment to be delivered to the counter while he retrieved Jackal's merchandise there and accepted another 500 million from him. Jackal had almost emptied all his savings for this equipment.

As compared to the money, this equipment was far more vital to an aptitude user. It could be a life-saver in a desperate situation.

All this while, Qin Feng's consciousness never left Jackal. The latter was too afraid to do or say anything inappropriate.

"Mister, we have prepared a secret passageway in here that could lead you directly out of town. If you have parked your hovercar inside the colony, we can have someone deliver it to you on the outside as well. This way, you will be able to leave Fengli without being seen. Do you need such a service?" Xue Xingfu asked.

It was torture staying here for even another minute. Jackal nodded without hesitation and passed his car key to Xue Xingfu hastily.

Soon, Jackal boarded the metro. But even when he was inside the train, Qin Feng's consciousness still haunted him until he left Fengli for good.

"Phew!" Jackal broke out in a cold sweat. "This Qin Feng is scarier than ever."

'He has become even stronger than he was before! Or perhaps, he had been concealing his true powers when he was on the island.'

No matter what, Jackal was glad that he did not act out of impulse. Otherwise, he might not have been able to leave Fengli alive.

Other customers arrived continuously after Jackal. They entered the market during the night and were all wearing black robes.

He designed it on the spur-of-the-moment. Xue Xingfu did not expect the customers to have accepted it as the default attire visiting their market. Nevertheless, he could still tell the identity of most customers thanks to their glaring sigils. Yet, he mentioned nothing and tended to them earnestly.

Their business grew steadily with its opening. They took in unwanted items and resold them, while goods that were difficult to handle were secretly channeled to Wanzong Organization. The black market profited 10% through such trades, which was a huge gain considering the massive cash flow.

As this business was operating closely with Wanzong, the organization had dispatched its manager at Chengbei, Sun Yu, to reside at Fengli colony.

The business got on track without much hassle. No one would risk stirring up trouble at Fengli with Qin Feng watching over the entire operation.

The temporary person-in-charge of Sea City was perhaps the only one having an open grudge against Qin Feng now. He did not abide by Lei Chen's order and would surely be condemned once Lei Chen returned. He would surely teach Qin Feng a lesson.

At the moment, Qin Feng was at the manor on top of the mother mountain. Opposite him in the gym room sat Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao had only awakened for half a year. His development was by no means slow.

"This is going to hurt a lot. I will knock you out if you can't stand the pain. However, it would be far less effective this way."

"Stop babbling and begin already. I will live!" Zhou Hao replied.

Qin Feng nodded and took out a test tube. Inside was the fresh blood of the Drakocroc King.

The blood would only be useful if it were collected fresh. Extracting it from the dead body would not have any strengthening effects. This was the reason Qin Feng did not instantly switch onto other targets then. He stayed close to the slain beast to collect its blood. Even so, he had only managed to gather three tubes.

After returning from the expedition, he did not immediately pass the blood to Zhou Hao but first had him feast on the Drakocroc's meat for a few days. Today was the first time Zhou Hao would use the blood for training.

A drop of the Drakocroc King's dragon blood landed on the back of Zhou Hao's bare skin and fused instantaneously. Zhou Hao groaned but withstood it.

Seeing that he could stand the pain, Qin Feng continued dripping the blood. Eventually, Zhou Hao could not help and began to reel uncontrollably. His eye went bloodshot, and he did not seem to be able to grind through it any further.

"Hold it in!" Qin Feng commanded strictly.

"I'm fine!" Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and sat up straight again.

He did not absorb as much blood as Tyrant had. The amount given to him was tailored according to his power. Zhou Hao endured the pain in the end and crossed his legs to begin meditation.

Chapter 240: Wraith Devil

Qin Feng grinned and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Zhou Hao had stabilized himself.

He walked out of the gym and headed to the living hall. There, he met Lin Wuyi, who had just returned from Sea City.

Qin Feng passed him one tube of the Drakocroc King's blood as well.

"Boss, this would not be necessary. You have already granted me my share of reward!" The three hundred million was his dividend. But since he had decided to work under Qin Feng, he would not mind even if Qin Feng were to not give him anything.

"Take this as my appreciation for your hard work. You can even think of this as an advance payment for your service. You will be in charge of the black market security from today onwards," Qin Feng spoke at ease. "Fengli colony is still facing a lot of uncertain danger at the moment. I will have Bai Li stay behind to look after the colony. Please work with her and keep the colony safe while I am away."

Lin Wuyi looked at Qin Feng puzzlingly. "You are leaving Fengli? Where are you going this time?"

"I have a few locations in my mind. These are intel provided by Yang Sanhu." Due to the complexity of the matter, Qin Feng did not explain in detail and claimed that it was from Yang Sanhu.

Of course, he could still make a detour to the place Yang Sanhu had actually mentioned on his way back.

"Alright. Please be careful out there. Fengli needs you."

Fengli colony was established by Qin Feng single-handedly. He was the sole reason Fengli could develop steadily without being disturbed by other power factions.

In other words, this colony would topple instantly if anything were to happen to Qin Feng. Such was the norm in this lawless post-apocalyptic world.

"Don't worry. No one would be able to touch Fengli when Bai Li is around," Qin Feng said.

Bai Li was busy tidying up the flower garden outside the manor.

After Qin Feng had constructed a black garden, Bai Li wished to build one for herself as well. The plants would freshen the air around the manor and make the whole place more comfortable to live in.

"Xiao Bai, I'm leaving!" Qin Feng waved goodbye to her.

Xiao Bai rolled her eyes and grumbled, "How could you not feel guilty when you are going to ditch me here and have fun by yourself?"

From Bai Li's viewpoint, all of Qin Feng's battles and adventures were nothing more than a game. After all, inside her inherited memories, that was how her ancestor had come through and survived the void.

Her kind was born strong. Once given enough energy, they would grow and evolve rapidly. As such, hunting and battling were nothing more than their leisurely activity.

"Fengli is our home. Someone wicked is threatening to destroy Fengli so you have to take good care of it!" Qin Feng tapped Bai Li's nose and persuaded her like she was a child.

After half a year, Bai Li's intelligence had expanded quickly. She understood much more now, and would not simply throw a tantrum like she did the first time Qin Feng left her.

"Alright. I understand. You should get going soon." Bai Li urged Qin Feng.

"Wouldn't you be heavy-hearted seeing me leave?" Qin Feng teased Bai Li. "Kiss me before I go."

Bai Li raised her beautiful eyes to look at him. Then, she tipped her toes to close in and kissed Qin Feng's lips. She even bit his lips lightly.

The intimacy sent down a jolt of electricity through the both of them. Qin Feng could not help but hold her tightly in his arms. He kissed back passionately.

After some time, Bai Li pushed Qin Feng away. Her face was as red as a ripe apple.

"Alright. You should leave now." Bai Li brought out the small hover car Qin Feng had just bought and ran away like a startled rabbit.

"Xiao Bai has grown up!"

'It seems that the television has taught her a thing or two about romance.'

Qin Feng stepped into the car joyfully. He promptly started its engine and rammed the hover car into the wilderness.

He was headed to the west side of Chengyang City, a total opposite direction to Fu and Sea city.

This place was beyond the jurisdiction of the Three Cities.

The enemy this time was something he had unintentionally learned about through the battle net in his previous life.

Though it was way back in his past life, Qin Feng clearly remembered that the incident was reported in the first month, which was January.

Qin Feng did not plan to intervene at first since the auction in Sea City and the opening of the rift were more of a priority to him.

But the event in Sea city had been brought forward by half a month as a butterfly effect resulted from Qin Feng's actions. That was why Qin Feng was able to make this trip in time.

'I have a vague memory of this. If not because of Tan Yue, I might not even remember it. Even if I miss it, I can still go to the place Yang Sanhu told me about."

This tragedy that happened in his past life was related to the organization called Zhongcheng.

The place Qin Feng was headed for was known as Pingyun colony. The population size there was about twenty thousand, but the actual human flow was much higher than that figure. The reason being that one of the Zhongcheng logistic branches was based there. So Pingyun basically functioned as a transportation hub between different cities.

One day, a small rift opened up within the colony even though the spatial stabilizer was still running. A scary creature emerged from it and entered the colony unnoticed.

It was called the Wraith Devil. An E3-tier monster equivalent to a beast king.

The Wraith Devil came from a highly intelligent species. It did not have a physical figure, and the only way to counter this monster was through light and fire ability, or by using powerful conscious energy to destroy it.

Unfortunately, though Pingyun colony was a busy transport hub, most of its users were only F-tiers. F-tiers like Tan Yue were considered top combatants there. There was no way such a defense force could fend off the overwhelming imposter.

Qin Feng would not have come if his consciousness had not reached E3-tier.

"Beep beep! An F3-tier beast general has appeared 1,000 meters ahead. Please be careful."

A warning sounded from the hover car's stereo. Qin Feng raised his head and saw that a python was blocking the entire road. Beside the beast was a flipped-over SUV. The people behind it were trying desperately to hold off the beast.

Qin Feng had a quick glance and immediately grasped that the one in front was only an F3-tier aptitude user. Others were hiding behind the turnover truck and were firing continuously at the python. All the bullets were reflected as soon as they hit the beast's body.

The gap in power was too much!

The giant python soon wrapped itself around the aptitude user, strangling him.

"Brother Qian!"

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Rin, run!"

"Brother Qian…"

There were three people behind the truck. Two of them were young girls who were G3-tiers, eighteen years of age, while another was a G8-tier teenage boy. Though he was also an ancient warrior, he was rooted on the spot and was too frightened to launch an attack.

Qin Feng did not slow down and rolled down the car window when he passed by them. A sparkling handgun was seen extended out from the window.

It was a decomposition blaster.

Blitz!

A colorful laser from the gun hit the bull's eye and instantly disintegrated the python's head. Crystal fragments fell off from its neck, marking the death of the F3-tier beast general.

Creatures like this were a piece of cake to Qin Feng now.

Chapter 241: Entering Pingyun

Those saved by Qin Feng were still trying to recollect themselves. The charming and slender Qin Feng came down from his hover car and stood imposingly in front of them. The badge that represented his tier hung proudly on his chest.

The letter "E" imprinted on the badge signified his exceptional strength and social status.

Qin Feng walked up and gripped the slippery python body with his bare hand. With a yank, he helped release the person entangled by it.

Qin Feng then promptly stored the beast general materials into his spatial equipment. He now had enough food materials for the next few days.

Poof!

The guy had failed to escape the python's entrapment, despite using up all of his inner energy. He was only delaying his ultimate fate, it never occurred to him that he would be rescued.

"Thank you. I owe you my life! Cough cough!"

He spewed out a small pool of blood. A few of his rib cages were snapped but fortunately, none of his internal organs was punctured. Such an injury would not be lethal to an aptitude user. He would be fine after resting up for a week or so.

"Can you walk?" Qin Feng asked.

"Not a problem!" The guy answered hurriedly.

But Qin Feng remained cautious and shared some of his own internal force with that guy. Redness slowly returned to his pale face with Qin Feng's help.

After that, Qin Feng walked to the SUV and pushed it with one hand. Without much effort, the large truck flipped back upright. The tires made a loud bang when it came into contact with the ground once again.

"Mister, thank you for saving our lives. Thank you!" One of the teenage girls stared at Qin Feng with admiration like he was some sort of a hero.

"It's nothing. Leave this place at once." Qin Feng replied casually. To him, this was nothing more than a small favor.

Those who were saved by him, however, were not ready to part ways yet. They felt obliged to thank their savior. Besides, it was not every day that they would come across someone as powerful as Qin Feng. They yearned to know more about him.

"Mister, are you going to Pingyun? I am a local there. Please allow me to treat you to a meal as a sign of my gratitude," The guy offered sincerely.

Qin Feng looked at him and contemplated it. He then nodded, "Sure. Let me ensure you all return safely to the colony."

At first, Qin Feng wanted to advise them to stay away from Pingyun. He swallowed his words after learning that they were residents there.

It seemed that the calamity had not befallen Pingyun yet.

They introduced themselves to Qin Feng. The F3-tier aptitude user was Qian Yuan, while the two girls were sisters—Fang Yue and Fang Ling. As for the G8 aptitude user, he was a friend of Qian Yuan's called Guang Xiaogang. He was not a very competent fighter.

Their SUV trailed behind Qin Feng's hover car. It paled in comparison to Qin Feng's classy vehicle.

"E-tier aptitude user. Is he a gunner? He needed only one shot to finish off an F-tier beast general!" Fang Yue lamented.

"That's only because he has a powerful weapon. Do you know what gun he is holding? A decomposition blaster. We wouldn't be able to afford it even if we sell all our belongings including ourselves." Guang Xiaogang was the one driving. He had yet to fully recover from the traumatic encounter, evident from his quivering body.

Secretly, he was not entirely convinced. It was normal to envy those with greater power. Moreover, Qin Feng's moderate temperament did not strike him as a fearsome figure. Not to mention, he had long been having affection for the two sisters. So it was only natural for Guang Xiaogang to repel Qin Feng when he became the center of attention and drew endless compliments from the two sisters.

"He is probably not a gunner but an ancient warrior. The internal force he shared with me felt dense and vibrant. My meridian flow has become much smoother than it was before."

This was the strength of a high-tier ancient warrior. Qin Feng had unintentionally reinforced Qian Yuan's meridian while attending to his internal wounds. The latter felt that this was a blessing in disguise.

"Have you seen how he fit such a huge beast general into his spatial rune equipment with ease? It must be quite spacious. Furthermore, the communicator on his wrist is the latest version. That alone costs a hundred thousand. I don't even have that much money in my savings," Fang Ling babbled excitedly.

Fang Yue and Fang Ling had been awakened for more than half a year now. They had only reached G3-tier after training for so long, and most of their salaries had been spent on buying potions.

The two sisters had been following Qian Yuan out to the field for three months now but failed to gain much. The danger they faced today only added to their terror toward the wilderness.

Nonetheless, they felt fortunate and thrilled to have been rescued. After all, the person who saved them was none other than an E-tier aptitude user—one that was capable of leading a medium-size colony.

Pingyun was smaller than Han Town and could only be considered as a small colony. Nobody would have come to this remote place if it did not serve as an important transportation hub.

In other words, even the colony chief of Pingyun was inferior to Qin Feng.

Hence, their excitement was understandable. Knowing someone so powerful was only going to benefit them. After all, they would improve substantially if the E-tier aptitude user was willing to give them some guidance or rare items.

Soon, the two vehicles entered the colony one after the other. The houses here were not particularly new but its roads were undoubtedly broader than most large-scale colonies. People were rushing in and out of different buildings. Most of the vehicles were commodity trucks. There were also railways all around the colony.

"Mr. Qin, the tall building in front belongs to the Zhongcheng Organization. The restaurant at the highest level of the building is the best you can find in Pingyun. Let's go there." Qian Yuan's voice came through the communicator.

"Okay!" Qin Feng answered back and stopped his car in front of the building.

The others came down from their car and Qian Yuan led them to the top floor using the elevator.

"Welcome!"

"Please allow me to escort you to your table."

Qian Yuan was supposed to be the host but the waiters showed more respect toward Qin Feng. They centered their service around the latter as if he was the host. Even the main chef came out from the kitchen and asked Qin Feng what dish he would prefer.

"We have recently purchased a jungle bear and yet to remove his palm. There's also a living sea monster delivered here fresh from Sea City. Another recommendation would be our classic fiery chicken."

Qian Yuan gulped hearing the chef's enthusiastic recommendation. He reckoned that this meal would punch a hole through his already thin wallet.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, paid little attention to the chef. He ordered nothing from the menu but said instead, "I have just slain a python. Make us a snake feast with its meat."

Qin Feng skinned the snake in his spatial equipment using his conscious energy. After removing its energy core, he cut out a pierce of one-meter-long meat and passed it to the chef. That should be sufficient to make a meal for five.

"Alright. The dish will be ready in no time."

The chef brought the meat into the kitchen and switched on the projector. Through it, they could view the entire cooking process.

Qian Yuan admired Qin Feng even more after his generous gesture. At the same time, he was a little embarrassed. "Mr. Qin, how could we use your ingredients when I have promised to treat you?"

"Don't mention it. It ain't much."

"That's right. Mr. Qin is an E-tier aptitude user so he must be very wealthy. He wouldn't mind those few slices of meat," Fang Yue chipped in.

"Mr. Qin, you are so strong. Are you an ability user, or an ancient warrior?" Fang Ling asked curiously as well.

Qin Feng drank his tea in silence and refused to answer their questions.

Chapter 242: The Rift Has Appeared

Qian Yuan frowned and chastised, "Who are you two to decide for Mister Qin? Even though he is rich, he is only treating us out of his kindness. Don't take it for granted and ask insensible questions!"

The two teenage girls immediately went silent. They observed Qin Feng's facial expression carefully and noticed that he remained undeterred, and he had no intention of barring Qian Yuan from paying.

Qian Yuan, too, was observing Qin Feng quietly. He figured that his hunch was right.

Qian Yuan sighed silently. Of course, he understood what Fang Yue and Fang Ling were anticipating. If they could build up some sort of connection with this E-tier aptitude user, a small gift from him would perhaps be enough to turn their lives around. With his backing, they could stop risking their lives in the wilderness for disproportionate rewards.

Qin Feng had learned enough about human beings from his past life till now. Their intention did not escape his keen mind, but he figured it was too much trouble to meddle in it. Thus, he refused to say anything and did not console the two sisters.

Qian Yuan, being the most tactful among them, was the only one Qin Feng was willing to talk to. He tried to gather information about the rift without giving away too much. He found out that the incident indeed had not taken place yet.

Since it was something he read on the Battle Net before he was reborn, Qin Feng had no idea about the exact time. Thus, he could only wait.

The dishes were served swiftly. The Fang sisters dared not utter another word and devoured the food greedily after Qin Feng asked them to dig in.

It was meat from an F-tier beast general. Eating it would boost their physical strength. Besides, from the looks of it, this would be the only meal they would get from Qin Feng. Hence, they set their pride aside and gobbled up as much meat as possible.

Qin Feng paid little attention to their lack of manners. He did not mind letting them have most of the meat since he had a lot of better ingredients in his storage, namely beast king ones. He put down his chopstick after he was only half full.

Qin Feng drank some tea to rinse his mouth and observed the scenery outside the windows.

Being the establishment constructed by Zhongcheng to serve their own aptitude users, this tower at the center of Pingyun was the tallest building inside the colony. French windows were installed right beside the dining table, making this the best vantage point to view the entire Pingyun.

More so, long lines of street lights, headlights, or brake lights could be seen extending into the horizon when the night fell. Pingyun was one of the rare sleepless towns in this post-apocalyptic world.

The only down point was that this place was too small and overcrowded.

As Qin Feng was immersed in his own train of thought, a spatial stabilizer a few hundred meters away from them suddenly sounded a shrieking alarm.

"Beep! Beep! Beep! A spatial rift has appeared. Immediate action is required to seal off the rift!"

Qin Feng's hand stiffened. He did not expect it to happen so soon. His communicator had just relayed the same information to him.

"Beep! A spatial rift has appeared about 823 meters away from you. Please take cover!"

The Verdant Emperor Saber emerged abruptly in Qin Feng's hand. In the next moment, he had already dashed toward the French windows.

The windows were thick enough to be bulletproof but it was instantly shattered as Qin Feng smashed through it. Wind from outside immediately ravaged the top floor restaurant.

Qin Feng was already out of sight.

"Argh!" Fang Yue shouted out in horror.

"Mr. Qin!" Qian Yuan was equally startled by Qin Feng's overreaction. He wanted to chase right after Qin Feng but was discouraged by the incoming strong wind and twenty-floor height. Eventually, he brushed aside his fear and said to his compatriots, "Wait here. I will go and have a look."

Though Qian Yuan was injured, he felt much better now after having the beast general's meat. He had this unexplained urge to follow Qin Feng and see what he was up to.

Of course, he was not the only one with such thinking.

"Quick. We will go as well. Something serious must have happened!" Guang Xiaogang who had not spoken for a while pressed on.

Fang Yue and Fang Ling followed suit as well. But each of their speeds were slower than the last.

To Qin Feng, eight hundred meters was just a matter of seconds. He reached the pinpointed zone in the blink of an eye. The opening had actually occurred in a residential area.

That was unheard of!

"Argh!" Qin Feng heard the screech and quickly located the source of the voice. He stepped on the wall and climbed hastily to the third floor. He then saw a rift that had just been sealed up, while a pale-looking man was kneeling at the side, gasping for air.

Qin Feng looked at him and wasted no time. He charged at the man with his saber.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The guy shouted in panic and evaded the attack.

He was only a teenager, with a G6 badge on his chest.

"Kill you, of course," Qin Feng replied solemnly.

The teenager was enraged. "What have I done? I am just a normal aptitude user here in Pingyun!" He evaded Qin Feng's attack dexterously.

To Qin Feng's surprise, the teenager possessed the wind-type ability and was moving extremely fast.

However, a G-tier ability user could not be faster than Qin Feng. Something was definitely not right.

Qin Feng managed to corner him several times with his saber, only to be closely dodged by the teenager every time. The teenager jumped out from the window after he distanced away from Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was relentless and chased after him. He was then shocked to see that Qian Yuan had caught up to him.

"Move!" Qin Feng commanded angrily.

Qian Yuan did not understand why Qin Feng was going after a G-tier aptitude user but he did as Qin Feng said, as if Qin Feng's voice has an absolute authority that he could not disobey.

Qin Feng accelerated once again.

"Blooming Flame!"

Qin Feng's fiery skill once again caught up to the wind-type user.

"Wind Shield!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Qin Feng's attacks were blocked!

Guang Xiaogang, Fang Yue, and Fang Ling had reached the battle zone too. They were shocked to see Qin Feng's opponent.

"Shi Guan!"

This guy received the awakening injection at the same time as they did. Since he possessed the wind-type ability, he was being highly regarded by the colony and was given the best resources available here. The Fang sisters had long admired him for reaching G6-tier sooner than all of his peers.

Since Shi Guan was their contemporary, Fang Yue tried to defuse the situation. "Stop fighting! There must be some kind of a misunderstanding here."

"Get out of my way!" Qin Feng bellowed.

Fang Yue and Fang Ling were frightened. They felt angry and wronged by Qin Feng.

Qin Feng escalated his attacks, and Shi Guan was gradually outmatched.

There was an ominous gap between an E-tier and G-tier. It was only a matter of time for Shi Guan to be defeated, though he had done exceptionally well to withstand for so long.

This was because the teenager was no longer himself.

"Sword Glare!"

Qin Feng turned his saber and slashed right through Shi Guan's neck.

Pop!

Shi Guan was beheaded.

Fang Ling and Fang Yue had their eyes wide open in disbelief. They did not expect the E-tier aptitude user to actually be a cold-blooded killer, and had not expected to witness such a brutal scene when they invited Qin Feng to enter Pingyun with them.

Before they could react, something peculiar then took place.

Chapter 243: Battle Against The King

Shi Guan's body began to tremble violently as soon as it was decapitated, then, his backbone began to crack while a pitch-black humanlike creature with scales all over its body appeared.

He had soul-ripping eyes that were pulsing with dark-green flames.

"Wraith Devil!" Qin Feng seemed to be perturbed from his expression, blood flow accelerated throughout his body as he became highly alert, his conscious energy heightened to a level that he had never experienced before. He stared fixedly at the person before him.

He was one of the major causes of Pingyun becoming a ghost town, and it took many years for Pingyun to recover from it.

Twenty thousand people in the entire area of Pingyun were devoured by the Wraith Devil, and it fuelled its transformation into a D-tier being.

Normally, it would require a D-tier aptitude user to hunt down an E-tier beast king. If the beast king were to achieve D-tier, the needed number of aptitude users would increase tremendously, or else, C-tier aptitude users would be needed.

As Pingyun's location was not indispensable, Zhongcheng Organization gave up on it and instead chose to utilize another route.

It was until two years later when an outsider accidentally trespassed into Pingyun found out that the Wraith Devil had left the place for a long time, everything was abandoned in Pingyun, and not even a single human being stayed behind.

Now that the Wraith Devil was looking at Qin Feng with its piercing eyes, dark-green flames began to engulf its body.

"You don't seem too bad, I could use your body!" The Wraith Devil growled and pounced toward Qin Feng.

It was at that moment, Qin Feng no longer displayed his ancient martial arts skills and started activating his abilities.

"Hellfire Carpet!"

Flames began to rise from the ground and circle around the Wraith Devil.

"Argh!"

A loud and blood-curdling scream was instantly heard from the Wraith Devil.

After all, the Wraith Devil was afraid of light and fire abilities.

Without any hesitation, the Wraith Devil turned tails and ran away!

"Fire beam!"

A fire beam that was about the size of a wrist was shot out.

Boom!

The Wraith Devil that was escaping took the deadly hit and let out another screech, surprisingly, its speed began to increase.

It did not have a physical body and was able to penetrate through the walls, it then glided into one of the buildings in the area.

Pow!

Qin Feng did not care about dodging any obstacles along the way, he was akin to a humanlike ultra beast that was ramming through every single wall within the building to hunt down the Wraith Devil.

Qin Feng had his conscious energy locked on his opponent.

Blazing flames were furiously enveloping the surroundings.

The Wraith Devil had finally found the presence of a human being, it was a woman who was cooking in a room, he pounced forward within a split second and possessed the woman's body.

Qin Feng raised his saber and sliced it across the air!

The Wraith Devil was forced out from the dead body. However, the wound on its back that was injured by Qin Feng's attack had fully recovered, as if it had never sustained any injuries.

The Wraith Devil's wound was healed from devouring other people's souls.

Swoosh!

The Wraith Devil went through a wall and disappeared once again.

Qin Feng forcefully rammed through the wall and it was hollowed into a giant hole, he continued on with his wild pursuit.

The flames kept burning, dealing continuous damage to the Wraith Devil.

"You have left me no choice!" The Wraith Devil turned around and pounced toward Qin Feng.

In the next moment, Qin Feng felt that his conscious energy was being invaded by an unknown being.

It was an extremely nauseous feeling.

"Scram!"

Qin Feng's conscious energy was split into small arrows as he activated a wild retaliation against the invader.

"Ah!!!"

The Wraith Devil screamed and retracted itself from Qin Feng's conscious energy space.

It was surprised and furious as he looked toward Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's physical capabilities and conscious energy were of beast king tier, whereas the Wraith Devil was also a beast king that had the capability to go head-to-head against Qin Feng. However, Qin Feng's attributes had dominance over the Wraith Devil's nature.

As such, the Wraith Devil was unable to cause any harm toward Qin Feng.

All of a sudden, a clamorous noise was heard from afar, along with a beeping sound that was specially used by patrol vehicles.

It was the patrol team of Pingyun Colony!

The Wraith Devil heard the noise and immediately sneered, it then instantly turned back and penetrated through the wall.

Qin Feng was taken aback.

Boom!

Qin Feng plowed a giant hole in the building.

On the outside, some G-tier aptitude users circled around the scene and began to inspect Shi Guan's body, questioning the witnesses.

"Everyone leave, do you want to die?"

Qin Feng was fuming mad as he saw that Qian Yuan and the others were standing idly by, not doing anything to stop the patrol team from closing in!

Qin Feng's conscious energy was instantly locked on to someone, it turned out to be a G5-tier patrol team member.

"Get out from there now!" Qin Feng let out a furious roar and attacked the patrol team member.

That person was shocked and shouted.

"What are you trying to do? Are you insane? Help!"

The others had subconsciously pointed their weapons at Qin Feng but Qin Feng did not stop and he continued to rush toward the patrol team member.

Ratatatat!

An insane number of shots was blasted toward Qin Feng as the patrol team members thought that Qin Feng was one of the members of the Dark Coalition that had come to create chaos in Pingyun.

"Hold your fire!" Qian Yuan panicked and shouted as he witnessed the chaotic progression of the situation.

Although he was fully aware of the situation, before he could even explain, Qin Feng had sunk into another battle with the others.

Qin Feng had no hesitation nor fear in him as he was faced with the bullets that rained down on him.

None of the bullets were able to harm Qin Feng as all of them stopped within a radius of a meter around him and fell onto the ground.

Qin Feng was only eyeing the G5-tier patrol team member.

All of a sudden, Qin Feng was surrounded by blazing flames.

"Fire Dragon Style!"

"Roar!"

A massive fire dragon rose up to the skies.

The overwhelming presence shocked everyone in the surroundings and none of them dared to move away.

Qin Feng continued on with his pursuit.

"Go!"

The massive flames covered the body of the patrol team member.

However, the fragile body of a human being was unable to withstand such a powerful ability, and it was instantly burnt into ashes.

The human body was lit up in bright-red while being burned down by the flames, and the Wraith Devil appeared from within again.

The fire dragon wrapped itself around the body of the Wraith Devil.

"Argh!"

The Wraith Devil let out a miserable shriek as it began to break apart and split itself into five human shadows.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The five human shadows pounced toward the crowd simultaneously, and within a split second, five people were being possessed.

The situation became worse when the five of them began to run in different directions.

"Stop them!" Qin Feng roared furiously.

"Fire beam!"

Qin Feng blasted out five shots of fire beams and managed to hit three of the human shadows, and the fire dragon swept down, decimating the three of them. On the other hand, one of the human shadows was blocked by a patrol team member who was quick to react, Qin Feng rushed forward and took care of it with a slash across the opponent's neck.

However, as soon as they were killed, shadows of the Wraith Devil began to crawl up from the back of the dead bodies and all of them sneered devilishly.

"Kekeke, I thought that everyone here is incapable and weak, guess I was wrong, interesting!"

The Wraith Devil spoke with a hoarse voice. Not only that, its tone sounded weird, like it was unfamiliar with the language and its usage. It would seem that it had absorbed the language by devouring Shi Guan and the others.

"It seems like I will be able to spend more time playing this game with you!"

The Wraith Devil completed his sentence and faded into black mist, disappearing instantly from the scene.

Qin Feng was daunted by what had happened.

The Wraith Devil had escaped.

Qin Feng was no longer able to detect the Wraith Devil's presence using his conscious energy.

Chapter 244: Missed A Great Opportunity

"Damn it!"

Qin Feng was extremely agitated as he had lost such a great opportunity.

However, there was nothing else that Qin Feng could do. After all, it was extremely difficult for him to deal with king-tier advanced wisdom tribes!

"Dissipate!"

All the flames burning around the area dissipated while the fire dragon circled around before it returned back into Qin Feng's body.

Everyone in the surrounding area felt relief wash over them as soon as the massive ability was called off.

It was indeed an intimidating and suppressive ability that had caused everyone to be horror-struck.

This person was shockingly powerful.

When did such a powerful person step foot onto Pingyun?

At that moment, three of the patrol team members that were left behind seemed to be horrified by the scene earlier as they looked at Qin Feng in fear.

They did not have a clue about the entity that had escaped earlier on, they could barely register the fact that the person in front of them had such overpowering combat capabilities.

They had no idea how to handle such a situation.

In the midst of all the confusion, several shadows appeared and approached them.

Before Qin Feng's rebirth, Pingyun Colony had recovered from the rift within a short amount of time. The Wraith Devil remained undetected as it lived on amongst the people with its effective hiding skills.

Now that Qin Feng had caused such chaos, every high-level authority in the entire colony had made an appearance!

Even the train captain of the Zhongcheng Organization that was taking a rest in Pingyun had rushed over to find out what had happened.

Everyone was taken aback as they saw Qin Feng, an E-tier ability user, who was recalling a giant-sized fire dragon.

"What happened over here?"

"What has made you so angry, Sir?

"Let's talk things through. Who's the one who made this great sir here angry? Apologize immediately!"

All the hullabaloo that ensued was just for show, an E-tier aptitude user, an ability user at that, who was overpowered was someone that no one in Pingyun could go up against.

It was at that moment, a familiar voice was heard.

"Mayor Qin!"

Qin Feng looked toward the direction and noticed that it was Tan Yue.

"Mayor Qin, why are you here?"

When Tan Yue met Qin Feng at Sea City, he was still addressing Qin Feng with his full name.

However, it would be inappropriate to do so now!

Qin Feng had taken down eight of the members from the Dark Coalition by himself, and he had also decapitated the famous One-Eye, Shademaster, and Savage King who had caused chaos in Fengli colony, he had even kept all of the decapitated skulls as plunders.

Since then, there were many that would want to trade at Fengli colony!

"Tan Yue!" His timing was impeccable.

Although Qin Feng was an E-tier aptitude user, he lacked the power to convince the others in Pingyun to fully cooperate with him.

"The Wilderness Exploration Army from Chengbei gave me some intel, and I was passing by this place for my practice!"

Qin Feng had long prepared the excuse for himself!

Tan Yue did not suspect anything either, and he could not resist the urge to ask, "Did something happen here just now?"

He was surprised to see Qin Feng using his Fire Dragon Style.

After all, it was the ultimate skill that required a large amount of conscious energy with every use.

However, Tan Yue did not know that the seemingly taxing Fire Dragon Style was just a simple task for Qin Feng, and he would only use it when necessary, after all, it was too overwhelming and eye-catching!

Qin Feng replied immediately, "As the space stabilizing device was released earlier, I was able to sense danger here, and when I arrived I noticed the presence of an advanced wisdom tribe entity!"

"What?"

At that moment, everyone else in the surrounding was as equally shocked as Tan Yue.

Everyone was fearful of the presence of advanced wisdom tribes.

"What, what type of enemy was that?"

Someone from the crowd could not resist the urge and asked.

Qin Feng replied with a deep voice, "E3-tier Wraith Devil, advanced wisdom tribe, does not have any physical attacks, fearful of fire and light abilities, however, these are all irrelevant to all of you!"

Qin Feng took a deep breath and continued, "It's because the Wraith Devil was a king-tier entity!"

King-tier?

Everyone was shocked and inhaled deeply when the name was mentioned!

It would require the city's defending artillery to destroy an ordinary E-tier ultra beast, and the strongest aptitude user in Pingyun was only F-tier.

Neither the train captain nor the leader of the patrol team would be able to defend against it.

Furthermore, Qin Feng had now revealed to them that it was an E-tier from an advanced wisdom tribe, and a king-tier at that!

It was indeed horrifying.

None of them could imagine what would happen in the future, as if a sharp dagger was hanging on top of their heads.

"The person that got away, do you all know him? Let's begin the arrest now! Avoid close contact with that person, or your life might be at risk!" Qin Feng asked the patrol team members.

It was at that moment, Fang Yue replied with a trembling voice, "Yes, it was Guang Xiaogang!"

Guang Xiaogang was one of the unlucky ones that was being devoured by the Wraith Devil.

Besides Qian Yuan, he was one of the most powerful people present at the scene.

Unfortunately, his body was now a host to the Wraith Devil!

Qin Feng seemed irritated by it.

"Why did all of you not listen to me when I commanded all of you to go?"

Qian Yuan and the sisters of the Fang family remained silent and dared not answer that question.

They were unaware of what was happening when Qin Feng commanded them to leave without specifying the reason, they thought that the situation was under control when they saw Qin Feng's dominance over the Wraith Devil.

Who would have thought that the creature was a humanlike king-tier entity?

With that in mind, was it not true that it had also shown that Qin Feng was indeed a horrifying presence as he was able to go up against a king-tier entity?

What was his actual identity?

"While the Wraith Devil has not returned yet, all of you should leave Pingyun, or else, death will take you down even without you noticing it!"

"But…" Fang Yue became even more doubtful as the sky had already turned dark, they were all reluctant to risk their lives in the wilderness again as they had already encountered a beast general earlier, it might even become worse if they were to go out again.

"Mr. Qin, allow us to follow you, then, we will definitely be safe!" Fang Ling suggested.

Qin Feng sneered and replied, "Why? To hold me back? Just like what Guang Xiaogang had done earlier? Though, with your capabilities, all of you would not contribute much of a combat power to the Wraith Devil even if you were to be devoured by it!"

Another person then approached them and interrupted the conversation.

"Greetings to you, Sir, I am Yu Gang, the mayor of Pingyun Colony!"

A chubby looking person that seemed to be about fifty years old approached with an F8-tier aptitude user badge on his chest, and although there was still presence of his internal energy, Qin Feng was already able to sense weakness from him that was caused by a lack of training!

It would be more appropriate to label Yu Gang as a trader rather than a person in charge!

He was also holding a managerial position within the Zhongcheng Organization.

There was a pungent smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke from his body that was nauseating to the stomach.

"Greetings to you! I am Qin Feng! Head of the Fengli colony under Chengyang City!" Qin Feng offered a handshake as he introduced himself.

"Fengli?" Yu Gang's eyes were wide open when he heard the name, there was a great number of advertisements from Fengli colony recently, and Pingyun had also received quite a few orders from Fengli.

"My pleasure!" Yu Gang instantly replied with a handshake.

Chapter 245: Tragedy At the Bar

Yu Gang was showing a lot of hospitality to Qin Feng for being his guest but Qin Feng did not have the time for all the formalities. He briefly walked Yu Gang through everything while telling him the method to handle the problem.

"E3-tier Wraith Devil, king-tier? Are you sure about that? Why would such a powerful enemy appear here?"

Yu Gang obviously did not believe in what Qin Feng was telling him, without witnessing it with his own eyes, he refused to believe it.

Qin Feng's face hardened upon hearing the response from Yu Gang.

"If you choose not to believe, then sit back and wait for Pingyun to transform into a ghost town, I am just being helpful in giving my advice, after all, I was just passing by!"

Yu Gang was instantly unsettled by Qin Feng's anger, however, there was still hesitation within him even though he was fearful of Qin Feng.

After all, Qin Feng was a highly regarded E-tier aptitude user.

"Master Qin, I did not mean that, this is just too overwhelming for me, why would an E-tier beast king appear here, I would still have to address a valid reason to the public later!"

Qin Feng replied with a deep voice, "This question should be answered by this ability user here, when I was alerted by the space stabilizing device and arrived here, he was already possessed, there might be some unknown means used to summon such a horrifyingly unusual entity!"

Qin Feng pointed toward the decapitated youngster whose body was lying on the ground with a massive wound on his back.

Yu Gang's blood ran cold.

It was because he knew that the youngster was an ability user that was receiving special attention from the colony. As there were no universities within Pingyun, any talented ones would receive resources from the colony.

Yu Gang immediately waved his hand and instructed the others to further investigate for any other possible leads.

Soon, Yu Gang's communicator vibrated, someone had provided him with an update.

Only then, Yu Gang considered Qin Feng's statement as the truth.

"Mr. Qin, what should we do now? How do we track down the Wraith Devil?"

Qin Feng replied, "Tan Yue and the others have already gone in pursuit. The best way is to send everyone out from the city and scan everyone with a conscious energy scanning device, those who have been possessed by the Wraith Devil would have their conscious energy way above the normal range. My advice to you is to carry this out as fast as possible!"

"Wouldn't this… be too much of a hassle!" Yu Gang replied as he thought that it would cause too much trouble to the public.

Yu Gang blew Qin Feng's top again with his reaction.

How could he still think it was too much of a hassle to take precautions when faced with an E-tier king?

"If you're dead then there would be no more hassle!"

"Please calm down Mr. Qin, what I mean is, isn't there already an ongoing pursuit? With Pingyun being so small, where else could he escape to?"

Qin Feng was left speechless, some people would never sense the threat until they had seen the grim reaper!

It was at that moment, the Wraith Devil that had possessed Guang Xiaogang's body walked into a lavish underground bar located at the centre of Pingyun.

It was still trying to evaluate everything in the world.

Every time the Wraith Devil devoured a person, it would be able to inherit all of the memories of the soul, and it would be able to recall all the happy and depressing memories.

Obviously, from Guang Xiaogang's memories, the happiest place was one that was filled with beautiful ladies.

At that moment, as soon as the Wraith Devil arrived, it was immediately surrounded by about five ladies that rushed toward him.

"Hey, Brother Guang, it has been a while!"

"Come, come dance with us!"

"Brother Guang, drink with us!"

The Wraith Devil enjoyed the moment of being surrounded by beautiful ladies that were all soft-spoken, and with the past memories of a human being, his classification of beauty had also adapted to that of a normal human being.

But still, its soul was itching to devour all of the filthy souls, to him, nothing could be more delicious than that.

It was at that moment, everybody was alerted by their vibrating communicators.

"Beep beep beep, alert, wanted person, level of threat labelled as A-tier, please report immediately if identified! Huge sum of reward awaits."

Then, an image appeared on the communicator, it was the picture of Guang Xiaogang.

All of the ladies who were surrounding the Wraith Devil were caught unawares, they looked at the image on their communicators and took another glance at the Wraith Devil, and one of them who reacted fast enough had tapped on the report option.

Then, all of the beautiful ladies who were initially warmly welcoming the Wraith Devil began to leave.

The Wraith Devil was alerted by the vibrating communicator that belonged to Guan Xiaogang, and it saw the image that had appeared automatically on the screen.

With the past memories that it had, it was able to read the contents, and it was surprised that the colony had placed him on the wanted list so quickly.

"Technology? Keke, I can't even enjoy myself!"

Technology advancement had allowed the traces of the Wraith Devil to be found easily.

It was still trying to find out more about everything in the world that had caught his interest, yet it was already filled with dangerous threats, and it prompted it to begin its destruction upon the world.

With that in mind, it identified a girl that was trying to leave without being noticed and it immediately grabbed onto her.

"Ow…"

It opened its mouth wide and extended a black tongue, the gory tongue pierced through the centre of the girl's forehead and crushed her skull into pieces.

"Arghhhh!"

The bar was instantly filled with fearful screaming.

On the other hand, as Qin Feng had already connected his communicator with Pingyun's management level, he reacted instantly as soon as he received the report that was made.

"Quick, move now, lock the area, nobody can enter it, every team member retreat!" Tan Yue came over and commanded.

Every F-tier aptitude user reacted to the command accordingly.

Even Qian Yuan was involved in dispersing the crowd, at that moment, aptitude users were at the dominant position to give commands.

Qin Feng took the lead and entered the bar, however, in the short amount of time it took for them to arrive, the bar had already turned into a slaughterhouse.

The deafening music was still playing in the background though there were no presence of living human beings left in the bar, the atmosphere was filled with a revolting stench of fresh blood.

As soon as Qin Feng stepped inside, his boots were dipped into fresh blood.

From the outside, the public had connected with the internal surveillance system of the bar and was able to witness the scene filled with unprecedented brutality.

Yu Gang no longer acted nonchalantly the moment he saw the number of corpses strewn across the place, he felt a cold chill run down his spine.

At that moment, Qin Feng had already arrived at the centre of the bar, his eyes swept across the area as a spotlight flashed onto a massive operating station.

"Whoa la la!"

The spotlights continued to flash and the music was gradually turned down.

Without the noise, it would be easier to gather his conscious energy and concentrate.

All of a sudden, a shadow appeared from the ground and pounced toward Qin Feng.

It was a girl that had just died, and there was a massive hole in her skull as her face was overflowing with fresh blood mixed with yellowish-white brain mush, it was sickening to say the least!

Boom!

A powerful force rammed into Qin Feng's body.

Qin Feng raised his Verdant Emperor Saber and defended with an attack that sliced his opponent into half.

However, it was at that moment, every dead corpse on the ground began to crawl up and lunge toward Qin Feng with an insane urge to kill him.

"These would not stop me, show yourself now!"

Qin Feng spoke as he casted out flames that were surrounding his body.

A gigantic ring of fire circled around Qin Feng and rose up, plowing through the corpses.

Then, a shadow rose up from under Qin Feng's feet and grabbed onto his leg!

"Keke, you shall die now! Be my puppet!"

A massive dark rune began to rise up and wrap around him, Qin Feng was engulfed by a ray of black light!

Chapter 246: Pingyun Gets Devastated

The beam of light was very powerful and had a full diameter of three meters. It soared through the air, smashing the roof of the bar as it swept across the building.

The bar was built under a twenty-meter-high shopping complex, and at this terrifying force it split the building right down the center.

Boom-crash!

The whole building collapsed as the huge black light churned the clouds above, turning them dark. As the light hit the sky, those who looked up saw the formation of a terrifying vortex.

An E-tier king was definitely not a 'small problem'.

In the previous battle, it was obvious that the Wraith Devil was just not used to being in this new-found world.

Then, black runes began to spread out and the surrounding people began to feel like they were being suffocated as their bodies were deprived of energy that was quickly being drained from them, and their originally healthy skin started to rot.

Their eyes sank into their heads and popped out, pus dripping from the now empty eye sockets. Their bodies began to emit a foul smell.

"Hee…" These people's throats could no longer produce normal human sounds as the whole body had been transformed into a rotting zombie!

Dark rune infection.

Besides having powerful consciousness, the Wraith Devil had an even stronger ability which was to spread this zombie infection.

"What's going on?"

"Quick, attack and kill them all! These people are all getting infected!"

"Dark runes. Be careful, and don't let any of them bite you!"

All of Pingyun's ability users surrounded the area as battle broke out. They had physical qualities that were beyond the standard human body and would not be as easily affected but the ordinary civilians were all infected by now.

Not only that, the infection was spreading like wildfire. Nobody dared to think about the person in the center of all that darkness.

That person was an E-tier ancient warrior and ability user.

If the person were to get infected as well then they would not just be dealing with one advanced wisdom tribe king, but two!

In the center of the pillar of darkness that nobody had the leisure to pay attention to, the powerful dark runes were spreading at a terrifying pace as they tried to invade Qin Feng's body to deprive him of the breath of life.

"Absorption!" Qin Feng's ability was activated as he frantically devoured the dark runes around him. These runes became integrated within his consciousness and expelled the immediate danger.

These runes were powerful and Qin Feng was not entirely immune to dark runes, especially if the opponent was a king.

"Not reciprocating is against etiquette!"

Qin Feng suddenly bent down and grabbed the Wraith Devil's hand. It had been hiding underground and should have been intangible, he could not have been able to grab hold of it.

However, his hand was wreathed in dark runes and using the runes he was able to get a hold of the entity.

"Burn!"

He activated his fire runes, blasting directly into the ground.

Powerful fire runes and dark runes collided with one another, and the shockwave turned the ground around them to magma.

Then the two physically collided.

Boom!

The runes exploded and scattered all over the place, Qin Feng had managed to disrupt the vortex that was forming in the sky. The Wraith Devil was wrapped in dark runes so it did not take in any damage. It quickly opened its mouth and bit down on Qin Feng's hand.

"Ugh!" Qin Feng groaned, feeling numbness in his hand before he lost feeling of it entirely. This was an attack on his consciousness.

The Wraith Devil's strength was still very powerful. Qin Feng had to let go and it sank back underground, disappearing entirely.

It escaped once again!

Qin Feng's face darkened considerably.

Outside, there came the sounds of battle. There were countless zombies still writhing on the ground. The only way to kill them was to cut off the heads, nothing else seemed to be working.

More and more of them emerged from the woodwork. These creatures that mutated from ordinary civilians only had strength that was around G-tier but their strength was infinite.

The aptitude users were getting outnumbered by the sheer quantity of what used to be ordinary civilians. After they had transformed, the aptitude users were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Fortunately, Qin Feng burst out from the ruins of the bar and resolved their immediate crisis.

"Hellfire Carpet!"

The entire street became shrouded in flames. The moment these rotting corpses came into contact with Qin Feng's Hellfire, they turned into ashes in just one or two seconds.

After all, Qin Feng had incredible consciousness and the abilities he threw out were stronger than the ones he unleashed before. These zombies were too weak to withstand that.

"Mayor Qin! You're alright!" Tan Yue saw Qin Feng's unscathed form and felt a sense of relief wash over him. If Qin Feng had turned into a zombie, they would have spiraled into even more despair!

"Evacuate the people in the colony, hurry up!"

There were at least a thousand zombies currently present within the colony but there were tens and thousands of uninfected civilians. As long as they could be quickly rescued, there was still hope.

The most important thing was that when these people had been evacuated, Qin Feng could stop holding back and finally take care of this Wraith Devil. Not to mention, the more souls the Wraith Devil consumed, the stronger it would get.

After all, it originally evolved by consuming other advanced wisdom tribes.

After the world before ceased to be, there were only a few people who had awakened to become ancient warriors or ability users. The majority of the awakened were actually gunners, proving that the human being's greatest advantage was in fact their consciousness.

As such, even the souls of ordinary people were a big supplement for the Wraith Devil. More than two hundred thousand people had been lost to the entity in the previous world and it had evolved into a D-tier.

Qin Feng naturally could not wait for the entity to grow even stronger.

This time, not only Tan Yue, but also Yu Gang who seemed lazy and hated inconveniences, had quickly issued an emergency notice. He was running faster than everyone else.

While Pingyun did not have much to offer, what it did have were cars.

People quickly evacuated, any zombie that got in the way was quickly obliterated by artillery fire.

Qin Feng followed after the search and destroy party, burning every zombie he found into ashes.

Pingyun, which was wrapped in cheers during the day, had turned into a hellscape by night.

After one night, only ten thousand people managed to escape Pingyun. Not only that, these ten thousand people might start decaying at any moment. Tan Yue urgently mobilized the medical team to begin their treatment.

In Pingyun, they were left with people who could not escape, zombies and a Wraith Devil that could be hiding anywhere.

Qin Feng stood on top of the Zhongcheng Organization's office building, overlooking the entire colony.

The light of dawn gradually came over the horizon as day broke. Although the entity was an E-tier beast king, it did not like daylight due to it being a dark entity. He did not need to worry about it trying to escape.

He closed his eyes to refresh his mind, ready to mobilize his consciousness at any moment upon news of the Wraith Devil.

Meanwhile, a dozen people were huddled together inside a dark basement, shivering uncontrollably.

Yesterday, after the zombies began to appear, these people had no form of defense against the creatures. Even after the emergency evacuation notice had sounded, all they could do was hunker down in this basement and hope that the army would arrive to save them.

Unfortunately, little did they know that the true enemy were not the zombies.

From the darkness, a shadowy figure emerged from the wall and in a flash began to rush toward the group.

"Aaahhh!"

Screams of distress rang out from the unlit basement.

Chapter 247: Wraith Devil's Evolution

Standing on the tallest spot, Qin Feng felt fluctuations beyond that of ordinary people's consciousness.

"It's there!"

Qin Feng instantly disappeared from where he was, internal force flowing through his legs as he leapt toward the base of a building.

The Verdant Emperor Saber was brought out as the ground rushed up to meet him!

Boom!

He crashed right through the ground!

"Roar!"

Several rotting zombies suddenly rushed toward him.

With the sweep of the Verdant Emperor Saber, Qin Feng instantly killed all of them.

He soon found a basement after striding forward. The basement was defended by security measures that were roughly around F-tier, which could not really do much to stop Qin Feng.

"Open!" He swung the huge Verdant Emperor Saber and cleaved through the steel door. As soon as the door was opened up, several corpses rushed out to meet him.

The Wraith Devil had sucked these people dry, but at this moment these things had yet evolved into more problematic creatures just yet as they rushed at Qin Feng like any typical undead being.

Two or three sword swings managed to get rid of all of them, and he caught the Wraith Devil slipping into the shadows and worming its way back to the surface.

"Hellfire Carpet!" Qin Feng sent fire to the basement and burnt the corpses into a crisp. He did not plan on leaving anything behind for the entity and proceeded to chase after it.

Boom, boom, boom!

He smashed through layer after layer, pursuing the Wraith Devil in a chaotic chase. However, the Wraith Devil had no substance and Qin Feng was only making things worse for himself.

In the blink of an eye, he managed to destroy the building above, causing its collapse. He let the Wraith Devil escape again!

Qin Feng's face took on a sullen expression as he looked for another place to sit cross-legged in meditation to scan for the entity.

Meanwhile, those who were sitting outside were not just standing idle. Innumerable drones had been sent to monitor the interiors of Pingyun and professional gunners had been preparing devices that would help them detect the Wraith Devil's consciousness so that they could deal with it.

Right now their efforts were not the most successful, but since they carried on without obstruction they could see everything that was happening inside Pingyun.

"If we haven't found the Wraith Devil, I'd say that it's Qin Feng who's wrecking our colony," Yu Gang said out loud.

"The man doesn't have that much free time, he came here and left his colony to their own devices. If it weren't for the fact that this was a beast king he wouldn't have so much intent to kill it. He's like some kind of a Hero-class. Just you wait, he's not going to quit just because something is troublesome!"

The Wraith Devil was indeed troublesome. It would vanish without a trace, what a difficult thing to capture! Even if it was caught, Qin Feng could not kill it without using special measures.

He was moving through the ruins now, destroying every zombie in sight.

"Hellfire!"

Just a little bit of his fire could reduce these things to ashes. Each of them had an energy core, and that was the source that allowed their motor functions.

"Lets go!"

He hunted the corpses everywhere. By daytime, Pingyun was to return to its peace and quiet, on the surface, the zombies had all disappeared.

"Should have brought Bai Li along," he grumbled before looking up to the sky. The sun was starting to move into the horizon. It was getting close to sunset.

The Wraith Devil had been secretly pursuing Qin Feng, only to get caught and then run away again. This game of cat and mouse had led to him destroying most of the buildings in Pingyun.

A large number of the zombies had been burned by Qin Feng, further diminishing the likelihood of the Wraith Devil's evolution.

As he had gone through rebirth, he understood entities like the Wraith Devil. They were not suited for life on the planet, especially during the day as the entity was extremely weak then. It was now heavily restricted by Qin Feng's fire, and despite it being still alive from their battle, the Wraith Devil felt a heightened sense of danger.

Advanced wisdom tribes had special methods of evolution!

In order to prevent fire or light from damaging themselves, they would usually just find a body to hide in. Originally, the Wraith Devil chose Qin Feng as its host.

It was a pity that it failed, and ended up becoming Qin Feng's greatest enemy.

This time, when it got dark, the zombies carefully moved about and started to form small groups.

Ten thousand people had fled from Pingyun, and within a day's time, with Qin Feng's help and defense, two thousand more managed to escape.

The darkness infection last night caused too many people to decay overnight, but now there were only eight thousand zombies left roaming the colony. Qin Feng had killed off a lot of them during the day and the rest were gradually disappearing.

During this time, a new king was born among the ruins.

The entity stood at the height of an average man, and while it might seem like a person from far away, its entire body was covered in black armor. The only thing that resembled a human was the appearance of its face.

The Wraith Devil had stolen Guang Xiaogang's body and it happened to be the strongest body it had in hand.

At this time, zombies began to crawl toward it.

Pop!

The thing that used to be Guang Xiaogang raised a hand and brought its claws down onto the skull of a zombie, splashing yellowed brain matter onto the ground as it ripped out an energy core and swallowed it without a second thought.

One after the other. Its physical strength began to rise.

Darkness shrouded the area, nobody noticed any movement there. Even the Wraith Devil was not aware that there was a pair of eyes watching him this entire time.

Qin Feng was there, hidden in the dark.

He had been hiding his dark abilities since the beginning, which led to the Wraith Devil feeling that it was strange that he had not rotted away even after standing in the center of the beam of darkness.

Besides that, the Wraith Devil did not know that Qin Feng could see in the dark. The Dark Shadow that the entity casted was merely darker than all the shadows that Qin Feng was used to seeing.

This was way too obvious. He still had not taken any action. He was waiting.

Finally, the Wraith Devil had consumed all of the bodies. Densely packed around him were just headless corpses, it had reached E-tier.

Just barely.

"Curses!" The Wraith Devil felt that if it had eaten all the human souls before corrupting them he would have gotten a stronger body. It was a shame that that was impossible now.

Qin Feng left behind too little zombies for it to consume.

"Cunning human!"

After he had killed the zombies, he did not just take away the energy crystal core. He took them with him, and since even the bodies were burnt to a crisp there was nothing left for the entity.

This was the equivalent of crippling the Wraith Devil's power. However, the entity had its own plans, in his mind, Qin Feng was the best vessel. All he needed to do was to kill the human.

"Rise!" The Wraith Devil suddenly called out. A blast of darkness spread out to the headless bodies, causing them all to stand up and merge together in a gory and twisted manner as they melded together into a gigantic mass.

Bones were snapping and muscles were contorted as the dead now formed into a huge humanoid shape. Perhaps there were limitations to the size, the thing was only about fifteen meters tall. From the looks of it, it had to be as tall as a five-to-six-storey tall building.

Where the head was supposed to be was the Wraith Devil, its legs sinking down into the neck area of the giant as countless beams of darkness began to emit from its body.

The monstrous figure gave off an even more terrifying aura.

Even a fleeting glance sent chills down the spine.

Chapter 248: Holy Light Mortar Shells

Outside of the colony, the monitor displayed the visuals of a giant humanoid creature that broke through the darkness as it appeared on the detector.

"What is that?"

"Look!"

"What kind of monster is that?"

Everyone took in a breath, because of the Wraith Devil's appearance they had deliberately investigated the entity.

However, they had no idea what type of form this was.

"This must be a beast king's special evolutionary method! I'm afraid that we're now seeing its final form!" Tan Yue said.

After all, it looked rather weak earlier on!

Except the Wraith Devil was nowhere near a weakling, it was just that it was being held back by Qin Feng!

Qin Feng was standing in a building that had been cut off by the waist. A glass window covered his figure and surrounding him was a patch of darkness.

"So, it has appeared!"

This was the Wraith Devil's final form, he had known because he had seen this form face-off against E-tier aptitude users before.

Of course, in the end it was the Wraith Devil that won and the strong ones who faced it made a final conclusion that it was only in this state that the Wraith Devil could be killed.

Otherwise, in the soul-like state, it could escape at any time it wanted.

Qin Feng's consciousness reached into a space and pulled out a massive gun barrel.

This gun barrel had a diameter that was almost a full meter long. Being a mortar, it required the strength of a D-tier ancient warrior to carry it around. His body was comparable to that of a humanoid beast king, so his power was naturally enough to carry the mortar around without much trouble.

"Bring it on!"

Qin Feng loaded in a mortar shell, the shell was completely white and emitted a warm glow. He found that the glow actually made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Click.

Once the shell was properly loaded, Qin Feng pointed it at the Wraith Devil and pulled the trigger.

Bzzzzt!

The mortar's muzzle began to gather up a white light before it violently shot out.

A dazzling white light streaked through the night sky, colliding dead on the body of the corpse giant that the Wraith Devil was controlling.

The white light instantly enveloped the target.

"Aaahhh!" The Wraith Devil bellowed in pain, quickly controlling the corpse giant to dodge the attack. There was a hole that had been punched into the giant's abdomen and judging from how black smoke was coming out of its body, the attack had made a hole that ran straight out on the other side.

This Holy Light Energy Bomb was extremely expensive, each of them was worth about 300 million yuan. Firing one was basically like throwing money into a furnace.

Fortunately, Qin Feng did not own these shells. He picked them up from a group of gunners back on the island.

Killing the Wraith Devil with these would be so worth it!

At this point, the Wraith Devil was experiencing excruciating pain after the attack. It was like its very soul was being burned.

The beams of darkness that had been turned into threads which were wrapped around the corpse giant were actually part of its soul. Anytime the threads were damaged meant that the soul would get damaged as well. Even if it was not killed by the attacks, it would have dropped off from being a king-tier.

The Wraith Devil did not dare resist, in fact it was in despair. Everything that Qin Feng had brought could restrain him.

How could Qin Feng let him run away?

Boom!

Qin Feng smashed the glass and went after the creature in quick pursuit.

Bzzzt!

Another bolt of light began to emanate from the mortar that he was carrying on his shoulder.

The beam cut through the sky.

"Great Wall of Corpses!"

The corpse giant waved its hand and quickly summoned up a massive wall made of decaying corpses in front of it to block this light.

Poof!

The light beam instantly punctured the great wall like an arrow through paper as the decayed corpses it touched instantly disintegrated.

The wall bought the giant just enough time to avoid getting hit by the light but by now Qin Feng was already fifty meters in front of it.

"Another one!"

Qin Feng's mortar fired three more times.

This time, the giant had learned how to avoid being in the trajectory of the light beams as they only seemed to travel in a straight line.

"Turn!"

Changing the direction of energy beams was more difficult than that of a simple artillery shell, but for Qin Feng, he had no problems whatsoever.

In a flash, one beam suddenly bent at an angle to land a direct hit on the giant's body.

Boom!

The corpse stumbled and began to fall, smashing several buildings as it did. Taking hits from an energy beam made by light runes twice was quite debilitating even for the king-tier Wraith Devil.

The corpse giant collapsed back into its many headless bodies before it quickly reformed, seemingly as good as new. However, it obviously looked like it had just shrunk about half a meter.

Qin Feng retracted the gun barrel and put rune equipment onto his left arm as he broke into a mad dash forward.

"Die!"

The Wraith Devil commanded the corpse giant to swing at him, a giant fist quickly coming into view.

The massive fist roared as it was flung forward, but Qin Feng did not want to collide with it. The black threads had changed the strength of the corpses, each of them had become a part of the beast king's structure.

This was the Wraith Devil's ability. Assimilation!

Boom!

There was a huge pit left at where Qin Feng stood before. By that time, he had already reappeared somewhere else.

"Grasp of Death!"

The Wraith Devil commanded again, and another hand swept through the air as it rapidly approached the ground.

Within the palm of the corpse giant's hand were multiple other hands from the corpses that made up its huge gait. If Qin Feng were to get caught by the large hand, the many smaller ones would make it impossible to escape.

When he tried to evade it, it was already too late!

"Fire Dragon Style!"

He raised his hand and the fire dragon burst out, slamming into the giant hand.

The fire dragon then shot out into the sky, the people outside of Pingyun could clearly see the force of this shocking power from the released energy.

In the command vehicle outside of Pingyun, the people who were watching the surveillance drone footage were worried.

"Who do you think will win?" An F-tier aptitude user asked, swallowing hard. In their hearts, they all hoped that Qin Feng would be the victor.

However, the Wraith Devil was displaying an incredible amount of strength and nobody dared underestimate it. Even in the current situation it looked like the creature was obviously stronger.

They were hoping that Qin Feng still had a few tricks up his sleeve, otherwise the winner and the loser of this battle had yet to be decided!

Then again, they obviously underestimated Qin Feng. When they were estimating his powers, they mostly regarded his capabilities as an ability user, but Qin Feng's strongest power should be one as an ancient warrior.

Qin Feng's huge internal force and physical strength made him fearless in this thrilling battle. The two were locked in an earth-shattering battle within Pingyun.

Pap pap pap!

Several drones were destroyed in the dark. As Qin Feng surveyed with his consciousness, he found out that there were no longer any drones surrounding him!

By now, the battle between him and the giant had lasted for about ten hours! Nobody could believe that a person could persist for such a long time. Including the first night, Qin Feng had basically been fighting for two days and two nights straight!

Dawn was quietly approaching.

"Dark Shadow!"

Upon discovering this, the Wraith Devil began to shroud itself in darkness to defend from the sunlight. It was also planning on killing Qin Feng in the dark.

"Split!"

The left hand of the giant broke apart, and ten headless bodies fell from it just as the entire thing was consumed by darkness.

In the blink of an eye, their aura turned to that of a beast king's.

They got up and rushed right at Qin Feng.

Chapter 249: The Soul Pearl

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth twitched.

This was the moment he had been waiting for!

His entire body was also suddenly shrouded in darkness, and in the next moment, he had completely disappeared.

"Impossible!" The Wraith Devil's eyes widened at the sight.

Their surroundings had become as dark as night.

Originally, it had released a Dark Fog Cloud which would not have affected its vision. It could see Qin Feng and Qin Feng would not be able to see him.

Now, there were two dense Dark Fog Clouds in the air around them.

Qin Feng, too, had activated his Dark Fog Cloud.

But then, the Wraith Devil suddenly began to sink into the corpse giant's body.

"And chop!"

Qin Feng leapt up to the giant's body, slashing at where the giant's head should be. That was where the Wraith Devil had been standing but it was already escaping!

The neck of the corpse giant suddenly extended a large pair of hands to grab at him.

The Verdant Emperor Saber flashed in his hands, unleashing a power that seemed other-worldly.

"Blazing Sky!"

His internal force bursted out then downward, sword slashing through the air as it cleaved the giant corpse into two parts.

"What?!" The Wraith Devil exclaimed before letting out a roar.

Crash!

The giant's body collapsed to the ground, exploding into countless headless zombies that began to rush toward Qin Feng.

It was at this moment Qin Feng suddenly mobilized his consciousness.

"Light of Death!"

Darkness erupted from his body and instantly enveloped the zombies around him.

The zombies were not afraid of this darkness and they wanted to see just how powerful this was. They soon learned that the darkness felt like maggots burrowing into them, tearing and dissolving whatever black threads that the Wraith Devil had decorated them with.

"What? You!" The Wraith Devil finally understood why its own dark ability did not affect Qin Feng, because the other was also a messenger of darkness. Not only that, he was stronger too.

At this point, it could feel its own body's energy being drained away by its opponent's own power.

Crick!

One zombie that was covered in darkness had its flesh scoured right off before the skeleton underneath was exposed. Then, the skeleton began to turn into ashes as it collapsed.

If the Wraith Devil's dark ability was to summon and control zombies, then Qin Feng's was to destroy and consume them.

Both were dark abilities but their usage and effects were entirely different.

"No!"

These were all the souls under the Wraith Devil's control, and Qin Feng destroying them was resulting in him becoming weaker and weaker.

The Wraith Devil's strength had become extremely weak by then.

"Kill him!" It frantically mobilized its abilities, calling for the beast-king-level headless zombies to attack Qin Feng.

With a circling sweep of the Verdant Emperor Saber, he killed them all.

After Qin Feng had revealed his own dark abilities, the situation was turned on its head. The Wraith Devil now had no zombies at his side and its soul had become severely weakened.

"You're dead!"

Qin Feng began to rush toward it.

The Wraith Devil also pounced forward, as if it knew that it was going to die but did not plan on doing so without a fight.

Pop!

The Verdant Emperor Saber lopped off Guang Xiaogang's head.

Unexpectedly, a black clawed hand erupted from behind Guang Xiaogang's back and wrapped around Qin Feng's waist.

"Assimilation!"

What a powerful consciousness!

Qin Feng suddenly felt that his spirit was getting weaker, like he was spent and that he could just collapse on the ground. It felt like the power of his consciousness was leaving him.

He felt the current state of the Wraith Devil.

It manipulated Guang Xiaogang's headless body to raise its black scaly claws to grab at Qin Feng's chest.

Qin Feng reacted by raising his left hand, causing flames to erupt from it.

Crack!

Guang Xiaogang's claw hit Qin Feng's body first, and he could see from the corner of his eye the decapitated head spread its lips into a wide, gleeful grin.

That was the last expression his face made.

The sharp, black scaly claw did not puncture Qin Feng's clothing at all.

This article of clothing had been made out of beast king material. With the force of this recently evolved, pseudo beast king that had a weak consciousness, it would have never been able to pierce through it.

At the same time, the light of the flames completely enveloped Guang Xiaogang's body.

Boom!

The flames grew hotter, engulfing the body so quickly that even if the Wraith Devil wanted to escape it was already too late for that!

"Aaahhh!!!" The Wraith Devil let out a long, ear-piercing shriek as Guang Xiaogang's body was reduced to ashes, leaving behind only its soul which began to shrink under the burning heat until it was reduced to a sphere that was roughly around the size of its former host's fist.

This was an ability core, it was also a soul pearl.

Qin Feng picked up the soul pearl without any hesitation and began to absorb the energy inside.

"Ability, Absorb!"

A majestic dark rune floated out from the soul pearl, following quickly behind it was a surge of consciousness.

His consciousness quickly reached its peak again, not only that, it continued to rise.

E4 tier!

Even after he had reached E-tier, he was continuing to go another step higher. This would have taken a normal ability user years of work to achieve.

He felt his consciousness spread out into what felt like infinity, and once again felt the rush of advancing.

The sun was coming up from the horizon by now, it was a brand new dawn.

The dark runes were gradually dispelled by the light as Qin Feng began to take slow and firm steps out of the ruins.

This battle was finally over!

He moved out of Pingyun step by step, approaching the temporary station that had been erected outside.

When the defensive gunners saw Qin Feng walking out, they felt a chill go down their spines.

After all, they knew what kind of creature the Wraith Devil was and the thought that crossed their minds terrified them.

"The fight's over? Then… Mayor Qin won?"

"I don't know, the drones never sent in the news. What if, hear me out, what if the Wraith Devil won?"

"Then who the heck is that?"

There were no cheers, no warm welcome. Everyone stared at Qin Feng with fear.

Qin Feng's consciousness was spread even broader this time, and he could detect what the gunners were feeling.

In a moment of excitement, he consumed the soul pearl. This meant that he did not have proof and that just made the situation harder to explain.

Thinking of this, he stopped. Then he raised his hand and summoned his hovercraft.

"Tan Yue. I know you guys are afraid of me right now, so I think it's best if I leave without causing any more trouble!" said Qin Feng.

When Tan Yue heard the news, he was still a little skeptical but he did not dare say it out loud. "How could you? Mayor Qin, I should be entertaining you for one, after all you must be exhausted after fighting for so many days!"

Qin Feng immediately refused, "Nope. I'm just passing through anyway."

"Mayor Qin, you've helped our city a lot this time. I'll make an application saying that I asked you for help and to give you a certain amount of points so you can redeem whatever you want!"

"Oh? Well that sounds pretty good, though I just hope you people won't blame me for leveling Pingyun."

"It's a paltry sum!" Tan Yue quickly said, noting that Qin Feng had used Holy Light Mortar Shells. Those were extraordinarily pricey but if Qin Feng wanted reimbursement, they would be willing to provide!

"Thank you in advance!"

Qin Feng said while turning away from the crowd, not looking back as he got into his hovercraft and drove away.

Chapter 250: Pulling a Tooth from The Tiger's Maw

"Do you think Mr. Qin might be offended by our behavior?" Yu Gung said as he watched Qin Feng's retreating figure and trembled a little.

Tan Yue also felt a little uneasy. He bit on his lip for a moment before saying, "Apply for Mr. Qin's battle achievements, even if he says it's fine, since these achievements can make up for whatever transgressions we've had with him!"

The most important thing was that Tan Yue was actually afraid that Qin Feng was actually the Wraith Devil's new host.

Including today, it had been three days since the Wraith Devil's appeared in Pingyun.

The neighbouring cities had finally decided to send aptitude users over, but they had suddenly received news that the battle was already over. The news that Tan Yue and the rest delivered made those in charge scratch their heads.

"Rewards first. Then we'll talk about what comes next!"

In the end, according to calculations, Qin Feng's battle gave him three hundred thousand internal points for the Zhongcheng Organization.

As he was leaving Pingyun, he closed his eyes and began to rest, but his peace was disturbed when he felt the communicator on his wrist suddenly vibrate.

It was a notification.

It told him that he had temporarily become part of the Zhongcheng Organization's internal staff, minus the luxury of an employee discount. That 300,000 points he just received had to be used quickly as well, then his status of being an internal staff member would be revoked and the special page would be closed.

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng understood what the organization meant.

"It's better than nothing!"

Qin Feng had merely wanted to take down the Wraith Devil, the rewards from the Zhongcheng Organization were not essential to him.

But when he accessed the Zhongcheng Organization's page, he had to take a moment to catch his breath. Their collection was definitely bigger than the collection in Fu City.

The items they provided were worth less than 300,000 points, but there were plenty of things that would be of use for E-tier aptitude users.

All in all, Fu City only had one D-tier aptitude user but there were several of them in the Zhongcheng Organization, even their organization's chairman was no small fry.

Qin Feng did not want to get lost in the selection so he decided to sort the search filters from the highest to lowest price.

Suddenly, extremely valuable things began to appear in front of his eyes. The first one that caught his attention was the Lava Flow Style that got its name from the Fire Dragon Style.

Since the Fire Dragon Style was given a discount when he was in Fu City, he only needed 100,000 points to redeem it. Now, he did not have a discount, so he did not really hold the 300,000 points with much consideration.

"Redeem the Lava Flow Style and transfer it to Fengli colony!"

Right after he placed the order, the internal staff's access also disappeared. Qin Feng adjusted his communicator so that nobody would disturb him, closed his eyes to regain composure and quickly fell asleep.

The Zhongcheng Organization also received the prompt around this time.

"Qin Feng redeemed something!"

"What is it? Something that replenishes the consciousness? I mean, defeating the Wraith Devil was no small feat!"

"Then you're saying that he's actually the Wraith Devil in disguise?"

"What? I can't still be afraid?"

That was right. Most people were still afraid.

Afraid that Qin Feng was actually the Wraith Devil's host. He was already very powerful, if he had been possessed by the Wraith Devil this could only spell disaster in the future!

Tan Yue let out a sigh of relief, waving a dismissive hand.

"Stop overthinking it, Qin Feng just redeemed the Lava Flow Style!"

"Magma Style? Doesn't he already have the Fire Dragon Style?"

"Yes, conjuring a Fire Dragon is extremely difficult, but the Lava Flow Style doesn't take a lot of energy!"

Tan Yue shook his head, he understood Qin Feng more than these people.

"It wasn't long ago that Mr. Qin obtained the Fire Dragon Style. I know that he got it as a reward when he was in Fu City, and from what I've heard. It's hardly been a month and he's already able to master the ability!"

The people that heard this drew a long breath.

Suddenly, it felt as if someone like that killing the Wraith Devil was not too far-fetched!

As for Qian Yuan and the Fang sisters, they thought that Qin Feng was a legend worth remembering for a lifetime!

Qin Feng slept for an entire day, and by the time he woke up his car was quickly approaching Chengyang City!

His communicator was turned on again and notifications kept popping up. Obviously, when he was resting everyone had something to say to him.

He frowned involuntarily when he saw one of the messages.

Qin Feng called Xue Xingfu's communicator to contact him and the man responded quickly.

"Boss, it's about time you responded. I was starting to worry that something might have happened!" Xue Xingfu quickly said.

"Don't worry about it. Ignore whatever nonsense the outsiders say," Qin Feng retorted.

Xue Xingfu continued, "The transactions have been good recently. People got some goods that weren't easy to sell and came to us, so we've accumulated a lot of low-level goods. Then, I contacted some small colonies and dumped them on them at lower prices, but when the merchants from a small colony left the area they were robbed by some Dark Coalition people!"

He seemed to be getting angrier as he continued on with the subject, "Only one survivor escaped, running back to Fengli and saying that it's our fault! That if they didn't make this trip then they wouldn't have died. Sure the guy's calmed down by now but Boss, this ain't good news!"

As Feng Li was just recently established, there were not many aptitude users around. As such, they only specialized in selling goods instead of selling services.

Otherwise, the colony would be empty!

As such, when people left Fengli, whatever happened would be outside of the colony's control, and when they return to their homes they would want nothing to do with the colony! Since the word was being spread around by the people, any bad rumors equaled bad business. There were plenty of small colonies and in fact, they paved the road to wealth.

"Did you know who did it?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yeah. They call themselves the Scorpion Corps," Xue Xingfu replied.

"So. They want to die too?" Qin Feng said coldly. He had recently just killed three people, and it seemed that what he did had not set an example for this group.

After all, this group only had one E-tier aptitude user.

Xue Xingfu promptly began to explain, "After the last Wanzong Auction, while a lot of people died in that colony, the Dark Coalition's people have also suffered heavy losses. Now, these people are fighting a secret war over territory, divvying up their unsavory influence. The head of the Scorpion Corps has recently been making frequent expansions!"

Qin Feng sneered, "Who gave him the courage to even reach this point?"

Xue Xingfu did not dare say anything. He knew Qin Feng enough to know that he was extremely angry right now.

Qin Feng's current strength had been restored to E-tier, and because of the examples he had set previously, a lot of people were afraid of him.

This was the boon of strength.

He thought that they would be able to have some peace for a few days but it seemed like someone had come along to provoke him again. Whether or not these people were doing it intentionally, he still found it all very troublesome.

No matter, he would just have to kill them all again to warn those who had secretly been eyeing Fengli colony.

"The ones to take action surely wouldn't be them. Just because they don't enter Fengli they think they'd be safe? What, do they think we are lambs for the slaughter? Grab some cash and hurry over to the bounty hunter network and list everyone in that group as 'Wanted'. Starting from their boss at one billion, ten million for their F-tier members and one hundred thousand for their G-tier members!"

Chapter 251: The Wanted Scorpion

"Huh? A bounty on them? Shouldn't we just send them a warning rather than give out such a large sum of money…"

Xue Xingfu's business-minded nature kicked in, it was apparent that he thought that the bounty was not worth it.

It was way too distressing to take out such a large sum of money.

With just a glance, Qin Feng figured out what Xue Xingfu had in mind!

"We should keep the goods to ourselves. Once I return to Fengli, we'll gather everyone from the colony to kill the Scorpion Corps together. It's about time to train our troops, or else we'll be left with softballs to defend the city!"

Before Qin Feng was reborn, he was also the leader of a big mercenary group.

Initially, he helped people to transport goods and to protect the goods from ultra beasts and being looted by members from the Dark Coalition.

Later on, after he had gotten stronger, he enrolled in the frontlines of beast resistance. On the battlefield, Qin Feng had the ability to absorb supernatural powers of beasts and he was very brave.

However, there were times when the strength of a single person was limited. Qin Feng also needed a team.

As such, after Fengli colony had been established, it was natural that Qin Feng did not want his men to be weaklings.

With stronger troops, Qin Feng's progress would speed up even more, and these men, at the very least, had to serve him by helping him to clean up the battlefield.

Xue Xingfu applauded after Qin Feng had finished talking.

"Boss, I'm deeply convinced by your words, but would the Bounty Hunter Network agree to this?" Xue Xingfu asked.

"Why wouldn't they agree? Besides, even after the bounty has been issued, do you think there really would be people that would go after the Scorpion Corps?" Qin Feng replied.

Xue Xingfu shook his head in response.

Of course, there would not be any. Every E-tier aptitude user treasured their own lives very much and would not do it if there was no guarantee for their own success in battle, while D-tier aptitude users did not care about the one billion yuan bounty reward.

"Alright, you don't have to worry about anything else. Round up the numbers of the members of the Scorpion Corps, and beware of those who fish in troubled waters. You should also find out their location and wait for me to return!"

"Alright then, I'll wait for your return." Xue Xingfu replied

Qin Feng hung up the call and contacted Zhang Haoyang of the Bounty Hunter Network to tell him about his plans in hopes that the other party would provide him with some information.

"Yes, Mayor Qin, this is just a small matter. I'll contact Director Xue to take charge of the matter!"

"Thanks a lot!"

"You're welcome!"

Zhang Haoyang did not dare to help out Qin Feng with his trouble since Qin Feng now had become a popular figure within the Bounty Hunter Network.

After hanging up the call, Qin Feng did a little stretch. After three days of nonstop battle, a good sleep had eased his fatigue.

On his way back, Qin Feng checked the messages from Yang Sanhu while he cleared out some of his resources. The messages were only about encounters with beast generals, and none about beast kings. If they had truly encountered a beast king, the Wilderness Rangers might not even be able to return from their journey, let alone go out for an investigation.

But after killing numerous beast generals and ultra beasts, the amount of energy that Qin Feng had devoured had increased exponentially, and his body flesh had advanced to E4-tier.

After his three-day journey, Qin Feng could finally see the walls of Fengli colony from afar!

The sweet warmth of returning home started to fill up his heart.

Before his rebirth, Qin Feng had his own residency after setting up his own team, but he did not live there that often. The place was just a foothold for him, or sometimes a familiar or comfortable hotel waiting for his return.

Although he had not actually spent much time living in Fengli colony, things felt different.

It was different because he saw the flickering silhouette of a familiar person from a distance, which instantly filled his heart with joy.

Qin Feng stopped the hover car and opened the door, and the silhouette quickly rushed to his side and jumped into his arms.

It was Bai Li.

The two had a linked bond. In such close distance, Bai Li sensed Qin Feng's presence and came out to greet him.

Bai Li touched Qin Feng's body with her two bony hands, and she leaned in with her small flawless face to sniff Qin Feng's body scent.

If Bai Li were in her fox form now, Qin Feng imagined that she would be wagging her tail.

There was nothing implicit at all. Bai Li's behaviour was a sign that she missed Qin Feng dearly.

"Mm, so you didn't go out to flirt around!" Bai Li let go of Qin Feng after she was sure about it.

Qin Feng's face stiffened.

"You came all the way over here just to make sure I didn't flirt around?"

Bai Li nodded. "You're mine, so that means you can't go around flirting and being a slut!"

Qin Feng laughed so hard that he was on the verge of tears. 'Slut' was not usually used to describe a man.

"Alright, alright, get in the car. But this time, I didn't bring you back any gifts!"

"Well, do you think that I'm an easily-deceived child? I'm a grown up now, why would I want gifts?"

Qin Feng smiled. Back when Bai Li was still a young beast, she would always make a scene every time Qin Feng left her. Qin Feng was even afraid that one day he would be blacklisted by her for an eternity.

But at that time, maybe Bai Li was feeling insecure without Qin Feng around her.

"Hmm, I'll give you a kiss, but don't get too cocky!" Bai Li leaned over and planted a kiss on Qin Feng's cheek before getting on the passenger side.

Qin Feng instantly felt a hot sensation in his heart, which was incredible.

Perhaps, it was because of Bai Li which made Fengli colony feel more like a home!

When Qin Feng returned to Chengbei colony, he did not inform anyone about the news, instead it was Xue Xingfu who spread the word that Qin Feng had gone to Pingyun again to exterminate the Wraith Devil.

At night, three hover buses quietly drove out of Fengli colony.

Qin Feng glanced through the list of personnel for Fengli's very first operation that was displayed on his communicator.

Two E-tier aptitude users were deployed, which were Qin Feng and Bai Li.

Then, there were five F-tier aptitude users, namely Liu Xue, Wang Chen, He Ling, Zhou Hao, and Liu Heng.

The remaining one hundred people were G-tier aptitude users.

Unknowingly, there were now more and more aptitude users in Fengli colony, and the troops had gradually grown larger.

At this time, Qin Feng was sitting on the second floor of the first bus. The interior was fully equipped with monitoring equipment, and there were a few technicians making some adjustments here and there. Qin Feng, Bai Li, and five other F-tier aptitude users were on the same bus.

"The Scorpion Corps is a Dark Organization. Since they don't have a fixed gathering spot, they don't take in the old, weak, sick or the disabled. They're said to be an all-powerful group with three hundred aptitude users, which is three times more than the number of people we've got, that means our low-tier aptitude users might be at a disadvantage!" He Ling pointed out the information shown.

"There are also twelve F-tier aptitude users, all of whom are vicious rogue criminals!"

These twelve criminals were the ones that Qin Feng had each issued a bounty on in the Bounty Hunter Network. Three days had since passed, and these people were starting to get afraid and their trails had disappeared. It was likely that they had returned to the Scorpion Corps.

Of course, they probably had more G-tier aptitude users within the Scorpion Corps, but they did not receive the information.

"We'll be the first to sneak in and cover fire, don't worry about the G-tier aptitude users. If any of my men can't even handle such low-tier troops, I think it's better to exile them rather than keep them!" Qin Feng said indifferently, "I don't engage in oppressive tactics, and neither do I exploit benefits from the civilians. What I'm looking for in our G-tier soldiers is not intimidation, rather, their capabilities in fighting, understand?"

"Yes Sir, I understand. Don't worry, none of my men are weak soldiers!" Wang Chen replied.

Wang Chen was now a patrol leader, and he would become a general in the future if he were to advance to E-tier. But, the first thing that came to mind regarding the intimidation aspect was Wang Chen's internal patrol group, which was why Wang Chen had to come out and take a stand.

Chapter 252: Siege of the Scorpion Corps

"Okay, we'll get ready in just a moment."

The three vehicles headed into the wilderness without drawing any attention to themselves.

The journey was calm and quiet, and they felt that the beast repellent powder had worked. They did not even have the faintest idea that Qin Feng had also secretly enhanced their camouflage with Dark Shroud.

Fengli's troops were approaching their target in a stealthy mode.

The first Fengli colony troop battle was about to begin!

Now, in the wild, a U-shaped valley was seen in between the low mountain ranges.

The valley was covered in lush forestry, and since it was winter, the withered trees did not have any branches or leaves. The human tracks were covered after two consecutive heavy snowfalls.

After getting through the small path and going around the front, a small village could be seen in the valley,

It was not quite accurate to call it a village, perhaps it was more like a campsite. There were caravans with solar panels installed on the top which helped to keep them moving. Outside the campsite, there were some fences, as well as some temporary large tent houses, and toilets a distance away.

Some of the big tents were bustling with liveliness and loud voices, and occasionally the miserable screams of a woman could be heard.

"Those pricks over at Fengli colony are such jerks. They've earned so much money and they should've shared some of the wealth with us. Stingy b*stards!"

"Someday, once we've gathered enough forces, we'll take over the colony and force them to pay for protection with their money. We will charge them 10 million, no, since they're so rich, we'll charge them a billion!"

"A billion? You're underestimating the wealth of Fengli colony! They make more than a few dozen billions every day now!"

"F*ck, that much every day? Wouldn't that be tens of billions a month? Son of a b*tch, and now they've even placed a bounty on us! How about we go to their colony and kidnap some of their b*tches there. I'm tired of seeing these bunch of old faces!"

As the man was talking, he reached out to pinch the woman who was forced into his arms. His pinch was hard and the woman's cheeks instantly turned purplish-red, but she was unfazed by the pain. Her naked body was heavily bruised and battered, as if she had been turned into a broken doll!

The man was bored too, but there was nothing he could do. His entire team could not go out as the manhunt issued by Fengli colony was too ruthless!

From the bounty, there was a 100,000 credit bounty reward for just a G-tier aptitude user, and anyone registered in the Bounty Hunter Network system could hunt them down.

Men would do anything in their means to become rich, and since G-tier aptitude users were easy to deal with, someone might have formed a team just to hunt them down!

At this moment, they did not have the slightest clue that someone had actually touched down on their base camp during this snowy winter.

These people were all still outside of the valley, which was three thousand meters away from their base camp inside the valley.

Qin Feng and Wang Chen climbed up the slope.

Then, Wang Chen quickly set up his guns.

"There're more than fifty lodged caravans, with an estimated number of four hundred people."

"There are ten small tents and three large tents, they carry out their activities inside these tents."

"There's one villa-style luxury caravan, I think that's where the members of the Scorpion Corps are at!"

"There are sixteen sub-standard caravans, with one person living in each, they probably belong to the F-tier aptitude users!"

"One of the tents may be holding captives!"

Wang Chen quickly analyzed the situation.

Qin Feng was on his side and was observing the situation as well. He nodded and said nothing at all.

There was nothing wrong with Wang Chen's analysis.

There were more people than expected, but Qin Feng was fine with it since it would just cost them more money.

Right now, Fengli was not short of money.

"Get ready, cover fire! Watch out and avoid shooting at the tent with the captives!"

Qin Feng gave the order and the aptitude users of Fengli colony quickly assembled their equipment.

One by one, the cannon barrels were set up. There were roughly fifty of them.

This was truly a show of wealth and power.

"Ready, fire!"

Wang Chen gave the order and all fifty gunners pressed the switch.

Whoosh whoosh…

Bright cannonballs soared into the air once they were fired out.

Although these cannonballs were not very powerful, they were definitely not weak. Any G-tier aptitude user would definitely be blown into pieces if they were not able to dodge the cannonballs in time.

But any F-tier aptitude user could easily evade them.

If they had any F-tier gunners, they might even be able to directly repel the cannonballs.

At this time, outside the Scorpion Corps territory, a few of the Scorpion Corps watchguards were rubbing their fists as they grumbled.

"We're deep in the forest where there are no ultra beasts. If there's any, it'll probably be beasts that're looking to mate. We're so unlucky to be sent out for night watch!"

"You don't say, but I've got some wine here, let's drink!"

"Haha, not bad for a young lad like you. Ok, drink up!"

They were not wary of the invasion in the slightest. After all, the location where they were stationed was so remote that not even the birds would fly over there.

None of them would have thought that someone would launch a surprise attack on them.

After downing a cup of wine, they heard a buzzing sound in their ears.

"Wow, is your wine really this strong? I'm already getting a little dizzy, and I can even hear a buzz in my ear!"

"Huh? I don't think so, I secretly drank a cup earlier but I didn't feel anything!"

"You brat, I can't believe you didn't share some with me earlier!"

Suddenly, the man felt that something was not right and he stared into the night sky.

Even if there was a mental energy field around to prevent the loud sound from being heard, the sound could still be heard if the person was standing close to the sound source.

Whoosh…

The cannonballs fell from the sky, producing sparks as they grazed through the air.

"We're under attack!" The man let out a harsh, fearful roar.

At this time, there were already some F-tier aptitude users who had spotted the cannonballs.

A Dark Organization like the Scorpion Crops could not afford to train that many gunners, instead they had many ancient warriors, with ability users being in the dominant position.

At that moment, the two F-tier gunners immediately countered the attack.

"Conscious force, repel!"

In an instant, around half of the fifty cannonballs were reversed and they flew in the direction from which they were shot from.

However, the remaining cannonballs were taken care of by another gunner. The gunner set up his cannon and took aim at one of the cannonballs.

By hitting one of the cannonballs, the other cannonballs would also explode in mid-air!

Whoosh!

The cannonball flew into the sky.

It struck the barrage of cannonballs and caused a chain of explosions. In just the blink of an eye, the sky was dyed red.

Boom boom boom boom!

The loud deafening blasts broke the silence of the night, which woke up all the members of the Scorpion Corps. All of them rushed out frantically to find out what was happening.

"Quick, take cover and prepare to retreat!"

One of the higher-ups of the Scorpion Corps roared in fury.

At that moment, Scorpio, an E-tier aptitude user, came out of his caravan which the higher-ups reside in.

Scorpio had a pair of triangular slit-eyes, which displayed his ruthless expression.

He was around forty years old and had been an E-tier aptitude user for more than ten years, so he could be said to be an old fart among the dark forces.

No one dared to make a move against Scorpio.

Recently, he had been expanding his territory at a frantic pace, which earned him quite a lot of income and his strength had improved as well.

Now, he was already an E-tier ancient warrior.

Boom!

Without hesitation, Scorpio took a step forward and activated his motion arts technique. In the next moment, he was already dashing toward the valley.

Chapter 253: The Rich and Powerful

At this time, Wang Chen and Qin Feng were hanging on the mountain walls on the outside of the valley, their gazes were fixated on the situation in the valley.

"They are making a move, and they have two F-tier aptitude users!" Wang Chen licked and felt the icy touch on his lips, his heart was filled with murderous anger.

"Boss, watch me!"

Wang Chen quickly equipped himself with a hand cannon.

As the reversed cannonballs flew in the air, Wang Chen raised his arm and fired off a cannon.

The cannonball was able to shatter those low-grade cannonballs, but in the next moment, Wang Chen fired three more cannonballs in a row.

The cannonballs whistled again. Not only that, the Scorpion Corps too had a cannon team and they began to fire back at them.

However, Fengli colony was just too wealthy, and they had the upper hand.

"Fire again!" Qin Feng said blandly as fifty cannonballs were fired again. The cannonballs instantly blanketed the entire Scorpion Corps camp.

However, at this time, the two gunners were suppressed by Wang Chen, and there was no way they could stop these low-grade cannonballs in time. They could only count on the other members of the Scorpion Corps to counter the attack.

In this head-on battle, the winning side was quite obvious.

Boom!

The Scorpion Corps's camp was instantly enveloped in flames.

"Have you given up on life? If not, scram!"

A thunderous voice was heard from afar. The voice was laced with internal force, creating a suppressing aura.

They could feel the aura rush over their bodies, suppressing their breathing and making them bend their bodies as they gasped for air.

His voice arrived before he did.

It was Scorpio.

He was the old cunning warrior of the Dark Coalition within the Three Cities.

"I didn't expect you to show up so soon!"

Qin Feng took a heavy step forward which made the frozen stone beneath his foot crack. His aura was unleashed and his internal force thickened, he tried to suppress the other party's aura with his.

Two humanoid silhouettes were seen trudging through the snow, and soon they would run into each other.

Scorpio sensed Qin Feng's aura, but he had no idea who the other party was. It was not until they were no more than thirty meters away when they both stopped walking and looked at each other from a distance.

"Qin Feng!" Scorpio gritted his teeth as he said his name.

"Yes, that's me!" Qin Feng nodded casually.

Scorpio felt his angered breath lodged in his chest.

"Qin Feng, are you trying to eliminate every single one of us?" Scorpio gave Qin Feng a murderous glare with his triangular eyes.

He really did not expect Qin Feng to be so stubborn.

However, Qin Feng appeared to be calmer than before.

"I've issued a manhunt on you and I've given you many days. If only you had returned the goods to me, I might've called off the manhunt, too bad…"

Scorpio's face turned ugly.

Before this, Scorpio had never taken Qin Feng seriously, and they had no reason to return the stolen goods.

Moreover, Scorpio even planned on living in Fengli colony in the future like a living parasite, sucking away the resources from the colony.

He just did not expect Qin Feng to retaliate with this much aggression.

"Are you serious?" Scorpio scanned Qin Feng from the top to bottom, and he sensed that he was only of E4-tier!

Seeing this, he finally made up his mind!

But he dared not underestimate Qin Feng. After all, Qin Feng was the one who had killed Shademaster and the others.

As such, it was better to not mess with him.

Whoosh!

Another barrage of cannonballs rocketed above his head, which caused Scorpio's mouth to twitch.

"Qin Feng, this time I'll admit that it is I, Scorpio, who is the one at fault. I'll return the goods, and you and I will never cross paths again in the future!" Scorpio said in a deep tone.

Those returned items and goods could be looted again, but it was clear to him that his underlings stood no chance against the wealthy and powerful Qin Feng. Even Scorpio was starting to get a little anxious.

There were some things which Scorpio would not do personally and would rely on his underlings. He belonged to the top of the pyramid, but if the bottom were to collapse, his higher-up position would be gone as well!

Unfortunately, Qin Feng was not buying into Scorpio's words.

"I've given you the chance, but too bad you didn't appreciate it. What's the point of begging for mercy when you're about to die?" Qin Feng replied, his eyes were locked on Scorpio. For a moment, Scorpio felt that all of his deepest, darkest secrets had been exposed, and there was no way he could hide.

He was frustrated from feeling so exposed.

"I don't believe that a hairless pup like you is able to defeat me!" Scorpio let out a roar as he drew out his weapon.

It was a stick with a chain on the other end, and the chain ended with a palm-sized, sharp, tapered instrument that emitted green light.

It was evident that his weapon was unique and was drenched with poison.

Qin Feng also took out his Verdant Emperor Saber at the same time. He showed no intention of taking his enemy lightly.

In a battlefield, one would have to die if the other were to live, and there was no room for carelessness.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Scorpio bellowed as he dashed toward Qin Feng.

The two were soon engaged in a tight battle.

At the same time, Wang Chen was on the other side, suppressing the two gunners. Their attacks were relentless.

With the resources provided by Qin Feng, Wang Chen's strength had improved by leaps and bounds. The equipment he had on were all of excellent quality, and the accessories he wore helped him to condense his conscious energy, allowing him to exert his conscious energy to a greater effect.

In just minutes, under Wang Chen's control of the situation, the F-tier gunners were not able to stop the cannonballs from the Fengli troop from striking their camp.

There were just too many of them.

Whoosh!

The cannonballs landed on their campgrounds.

Boom, boom, boom!

They were all knocked off their feet, and some were even blasted away.

Although the Scorpion Corps's campsite was located somewhere hidden, in the end, they did not have any special shelters to protect them from the siege. The only thing they could do was flee.

But wherever they tried to flee, the cannonballs were still able to track them. In just moments, Scorpion Corps had suffered heavy losses.

Under the bombardment of the two troops, the camping ground was completely obliterated. Soon, the Scorpion Corps did not have any ammunition left to fire back at the other troop.

After all, they were not prepared for this sudden attack, and they did not have much of this kind of artillery power.

During the battle, Wang Chen had taken care of one of the gunners, and the other gunner had stopped firing.

On the other side, the battle between Qin Feng and Scorpio was simply one-sided.

Scorpio's weapon was indeed unique, but it was useless when used against Qin Feng.

On the other hand, Scorpio was getting even more frustrated, and he felt powerless. His weapon could barely land a hit on Qin Feng's combat suit!

How was he going to fight like this?

Clank!

Both weapons clashed together. Qin Feng's humongous Verdant Emperor Saber that was once light and agile, was now hefty and powerful. With each mighty swing, the weapon made a whooshing sound.

Scorpio felt the tremendous force that overcame his body, knocking him into the air.

Both of his hands went numb, and even his chest began to ache.

Scorpio did not expect Qin Feng to be this strong.

With a flicker in his eyes, Scorpio threw a smoke bomb after his body crashed onto a tree.

Whoosh!

Scorpio was running away!

Qin Feng was surprised, but then he came to and chased after him.

"That old, cunning man!"

Qin Feng had his conscious energy locked on Scorpio, and there was no way he could run away from him. He channelled some internal force into his legs which granted him the ability to run with supersonic speed.

As he pursued after him, Qin Feng turned on his communicator.

"Prepare to wipe out the remaining forces. Everyone get ready to move!"

The Scorpion Corps was overwhelmed by the bombardment and the remaining men began to scatter, but Qin Feng had no intention of letting these people go.

After the Fengli troops had received the order, they felt their blood starting to boil.

The real battle had only just begun!

Chapter 254: The Victor's Compassion

Outside the valley, the troop charged forth.

"Xiao Huang!"

Zhou Hao slapped his shoulder, and a palm-sized ant on his shoulder quickly climbed down. The ant transformed and was as huge as a big truck on the ground.

Zhou Hao rolled over and triggered his conscious power. The golden ant fluttered its wings and took off from the ground, and Zhou Hao was going to ride on top of it.

"Zhou Hao, give me a lift!" Liu Heng took few strides to catch up with him, he did a flip and landed on top of the Golden Queen Ant's body.

"Hold on tight!"

The two of them dashed forward.

Liu Xue and He Ling were lagging behind, but they used motion arts and were able to zip through the snow without leaving a single trace behind.

Soon, they were inside the Scorpion Corps's camp, which was in ruins. The caravans were all blown up and only one tent remained in good condition. The flames illuminated their surroundings.

"Enemy attack, here it comes!"

Someone screeched in terror.

"Beast king!"

"How's that possible, do you mean a beastmaster's beast king?"

Those people were scared out of their wits.

Zhou Hao quickly locked his conscious energy onto an F-tier aptitude user without caring about the others.

"Li Hu? Ten million yuan is now mine!"

The Golden Queen Ant charged toward Li Hu ferociously.

Li Hu dared not fight against the Golden Queen Ant. He turned around and ran in fear, but he was nowhere faster than the Golden Queen Ant.

Before he could run far, a terrifyingly long spear had pierced through his back.

He was instantly picked off from the ground.

"Die!"

Zhou Hao held the four-meter long spear with both hands, and with a flick of his wrist, the spear was retracted.

Zhou Hao grabbed Li Hu's heavily injured body, he lifted his arms and pulled him up by the neck.

Snap!

With one move, Zhou Hao's eyes were bloodshot red.

This was his first time participating in a battle. Although he was still a teenager, he was not excited nor did he feel uneasy, instead, he felt his blood boiling.

"Again!"

The mighty Golden Queen Ant charged toward the crowd in a rampage.

The others then caught up with him and began to obstruct the F-tier aptitude users, while a large number of aptitude users from Fengli colony had also joined the battle. They surrounded the G-tier aptitude users and killed them.

For a brief moment, the screams and cries of killing echoed in the remote valley.

At this time, Qin Feng was still chasing after Scorpio.

'I didn't expect Scorpio to be this good in using motion arts, even with my internal force enhanced speed, I can't catch up to him!'

Qin Feng's brows were slightly furrowed, but he was still able to keep up with Scorpio. He did not have the slightest intention of giving up on the chase.

If he were not able to catch up, Qin Feng would maintain his speed so he would not let Scorpio throw him off.

'Even with an improved Spectre Motion Steps, it would still be slower even though it's a motion arts movement. It seems like I would require a stronger motion arts technique!'

The motion arts technique he had previously given to Zhou Hao would not work in this situation because it required a matching internal strength technique. Since Qin Feng already had the Star Absorption skill, there was no reason for him to learn the technique.

Even though Qin Feng was distracted about getting the internal strength he would be getting later, his pace did not slow down at all.

When compared to him, Scorpion was super exhausted!

His motion arts was indeed very good, but any motion art technique that involved extreme speeds would consume a lot of the user's strength.

Scorpio's internal strength was almost depleted!

"Damn it, I can't believe he's still after me!"

Scorpio reached for his spatial rune equipment and pulled out a small porcelain vial, he poured out the pills inside and stuffed them into his mouth.

He felt his internal strength bubbling inside. Once he had recovered some strength, he continued with his escape.

Qin Feng frowned again.

"Scorpio, you'd better stop running. You're wasting the pills, maybe you should just leave it for me!" Qin Feng sneered at him.

"Eat my fart!" Scorpio was still running frantically, he dared not stop at all.

But no matter how fast he could run, he still could not outrun him.

"Stop him!" Qin Feng shouted.

While Scorpio was still figuring out who Qin Feng was talking to, a human figure suddenly appeared before him.

It was an extremely beautiful young lady, and as Qin Feng was becoming more famous, Bai Li too was starting to gain more recognition.

Word got around that Bai Li was Qin Feng's girlfriend, and she was like a treasured antique vase to him.

However, many people said that Bai Li was actually quite powerful and awe-inspiring, but it was just that she did not fight much.

Scorpio thought that she was just a lovely girl, but soon he realized that he was dead wrong.

Swish!

Five streaks of white light blinded him.

"Ah!"

Scorpio let out a scream, he did not even know what he was hit by, but he felt severe pain on one eye. A huge gash formed on his eye all the way to the chin, and five more bloody gashes were formed on his chest. The tremendous force sent Scorpio flying backward.

He landed in front of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng bent down and landed a punch on Scorpio's dantian.

"Star Absorption skill!"

The powerful suction drained out all of Scorpio's internal energy!

Scorpio's body twitched, he felt as if his internal energy was being siphoned away from his body.

Scorpio had used up most of his internal energy earlier, but the Star Absorption skill was extracting the energy from his dantian. If the internal energy inside was completely drained out, it would absorb the internal energy that was stored in the limbs.

This was known as a reversal meridian, but Scorpio did not have the energy to stop this from happening.

In the blink of an eye, the internal energy inside of Scorpio's body was completely leached out.

Then, Qin Feng raised the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand.

"No!"

Scorpio tried to resist, but he had no strength at all. Before his death, his eyes were filled with remorse, and he looked as if he regretted provoking Qin Feng.

Poof!

The saber came down like a guillotine. Qin Feng had beheaded Scorpio.

With just a flick of his hand, Qin Feng wrapped Scorpio's head with conscious energy and sent it into his spatial runic equipment.

"Burn!"

A tiny amber landed on Scorpio's body. Just like that, the body of the Three Cities' Executioner who had terrorized and slaughtered countless people was burnt into ashes.

After the fire had died down, Qin Feng picked up some of the runic equipment that remained.

Afterward, Qin Feng brought Bai Li with him and returned to the Scorpion Corps's camp side.

The battle was now nearing its end.

Although Scorpion Corps had more F-tier aptitude users than expected, with Zhou Hao's Golden Queen Ant, those F-tier aptitude users were nothing to worry about. Even if there were ten more of them, they would still not be a match for the Golden Queen Ant.

About three hundred people died under the cannon siege. As soon as the troops from Fengli colony showed up, these people were like homeless dogs scattering around aimlessly. They had no fighting power at all and were all quickly slaughtered.

The ground was piled with black charred corpses, and there were also bodies that had fresh wounds. The entire place reeked of fresh blood and a terrible stench.

The crowd turned toward Qin Feng as he was illuminated under the fiery glow.

Some of them were actually new to this kind of large-scale siege that involved a Dark Organization, and some of them were even trembling.

It could be out of excitement, or it could be out of fear.

Qin Feng stopped walking and looked at the people who were following him from behind.

He lifted his hand slightly and pointed at the bodies that were piled up next to him.

A spot that reeked of blood, decay, and dread.

"See here?"

The crowd was silent.

"This is a scene which can only be savored by victors."

"If you become losers, your bodies will belong to this pile of corpses."

"With that said, try and keep up with me, and you will see more of this later in the future. When the time comes, you will get used to this scene!"

"A victor's compassion is what losers admire the most!"

Chapter 255: Fiery Rampage

Fengli colony's black market was flourishing, and at the end of January, the newly established Fengli colony once again received news that shocked everyone.

Qin Feng, the mayor of Fengli colony, had ordered people to build a wanted board on the city wall outside of the colony.

The board was not like a big screen, it was built of steel and concrete.

There were seventeen heads hanging on the board.

These dead people actually looked very different from when they were still alive.

But the identities of these seventeen people were clear to everyone.

They were the Scorpion Corps.

Subsequently, the Bounty Hunter Network also showed that the manhunt for E-tier criminal, Scorpio, was completed, and the accomplisher was Qin Feng.

Not only that, the manhunt for the other members of the Scorpion Corps that were displayed on the Bounty Hunter Network were also all completed.

At this point in time, almost everyone knew that Qin Feng had completely wiped out the entire Scorpion Corps!

The Scorpion Corps was not an ordinary force, but a notorious Dark Coalition Organization that had to be reckoned with, yet Qin Feng issued a bounty on them and completed it by himself in just a week's time.

This caused some people to feel chills run down their spines, and they dared not underestimate Qin Feng ever again.

Qin Feng might be young, and arrogant too at that.

But Qin Feng's tactics were extremely cruel, straightforward, and merciless.

Initially, some foolish Dark Organization members who tried to wait for the right time to strike Qin Feng had now carefully retracted their claws. Some of them were even afraid that Qin Feng would find out their plans and were in a panic.

Qin Feng did not have the time to care about those people.

As long as these people were honest and had no plans in striking Fengli colony, Qin Feng did care about them.

Moreover, this training exercise also allowed Qin Feng to see Zhou Hao's true potential. Even now in Fengli, Zhou Hao was the strongest apart from Bai Li, Qin Feng and Lin Wuyi.

However, his strength was still somewhat lacking. If Zhou Ho were to successfully advance to E-tier, Qin Feng would be able to hand the colony over to Zhou Hao without having to worry!

'In two months, the grave of the War God will probably open. Then, I'll bring Zhou Hao along on my journey!'

Qin Feng had the future plan set.

But two months was still quite a long time. Now, Qin Feng had no plans on stopping and idling around.

He turned on his communicator and checked the Wanzong trading network.

But after swiping around, Qin Feng could not find anything that he needed.

He wanted to find a good motion arts technique.

Qin Feng was obviously not very satisfied.

But soon, an ability caught Qin Feng's attention.

'Fiery Rampage?'

Qin Feng felt a jolt in his heart.

Abilities were ever-changing, and what Qin Feng had mastered was far from enough!

Due to Qin Feng's strength, the abilities he had mastered were relatively few, but every single one of them was incredibly powerful.

'You can use it as an F-tier? And it only costs a million?' Qin Feng bought it without a second thought.

An hour later, the item arrived, and Qin Feng could not wait to open it.

"Ability Devourment!"

After he had devoured the fire runes, the runes began changing and they then reassembled themselves to form a new ability.

Qin Feng walked to the backyard and unleashed the ability. In the next moment, he felt as though his feet were strapped with fire cannons. His entire body leapt high and forward, and in the blink of an eye he had reached twenty meters with just a single leap.

If it were not for Qin Feng's strong body, he would have made a fool of himself earlier!

This ability was actually really good, and just now it only appeared to be weak because of a slight careless mistake. In fact, this ability allowed him to run even faster, and cover a greater distance, which could make up for Qin Feng's shortcomings.

He clearly needed more training with this ability.

At this moment, Qin Feng's communicator began to beep.

"What's the matter?"

On the other side of the call was Liu Heng.

Now, he was mainly in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and most of the contacts from other colonies were handed over to Liu Heng, and he handled everything quite well. He would not have contacted Qin Feng if it were not for a serious matter.

"Mayor Qin, someone from Sea City is looking for you!" Liu Heng said. "There's a letter from Sea City, it's an invitation for you to participate in the defense against the sea beast tide!"

As they had entered January, it was the most dangerous month of sea tides.

No one knew when it all started, but every January, Sea City would be besieged by swarms of sea beasts. These sea beasts would crawl ashore, hunt on humans, lay eggs, and terrorize the city.

Most of the sea beasts that were able to come ashore were amphibious, and there were also some that possessed strong toxins and would appear frequently, which affected the plantation and crops of Sea City.

That was why hunting these sea beasts had become a tradition that had to be done every year in Sea City. Although Sea City was considered one of the most dangerous places, it was also a place full of opportunities and hardships.

"Okay, got it!"

Qin Feng nodded, which indicated that he understood the message.

"Then, Mr. Mayor, do you really plan on going? I always have the feeling that the current executives of Sea City are not easy to get along with!"

Sea City had gotten Shademaster and the gang to cause trouble in Fengli. People from Fengli colony did not know what had happened exactly but Qin Feng was able to make that guess.

Liu Heng did not know either, but he had a feeling that Sea City was not friendly toward Fengli colony.

Moreover, Qin Feng had returned from the city with a full cargo of items before. It was worrisome that the executives of Sea City, who were clearly mad at Qin Feng, would be very unhappy unless they acquire something from Qin Feng.

"Of course, why wouldn't I go? But name the price as Fengli is a part of me, and if they want me to go, you should charge them a million per day, and the loot will all belong to me!" Qin Feng replied.

"Also, name the same price for Bai Li, and tell them the sea beast tide will come around the middle of the month. I'll not receive post-payments, so tell them to pay three billion as the upfront fee and then we'll talk!"

Even though Liu Heng knew how capable Qin Feng was, and the price he asked for was not excessive, he felt that the conditions given by Qin Feng were a bit too harsh!

"I don't think they would agree to that, would they?"

"You just tell them that it's their business to agree or disagree, not mine!" Qin Feng sneered. Deep down, he knew that these people would agree to it.

Liu Heng had no choice but to relay the message back to them.

The person who contacted Liu Heng was an F-tier aptitude user, but it was obvious that there was someone else behind him. As soon as Liu Heng relayed the message, the people on the opposite side of the call were instantly infuriated. It was clear that they thought Qin Feng was overbearing and self-righteous.

The call ended rather quickly, but what Liu Heng did not expect was that in just half an hour's time, he received an agreement from Sea City. They had agreed to Qin Feng's requests and that the three billion yuan would soon be transferred over.

They would also quickly send someone over to pick up Qin Feng.

"Boss, did you already figure out that they would eventually agree to it?" Liu Heng was a bit confused.

"Heh, you don't have to think too much about this. Once I reach Sea City, feel free to contact me if you need anything!"

"Understood, Boss!"

Liu Heng did not get to the bottom of it.

Qin Feng made preparations for his journey to Sea City, but in less than half a day, Xue Xingfu came over once he received the news.

"Mayor Qin, you're not leaving again, are you?"

Xue Xingfu was wailing deep down.

Chapter 256: Month of Sea Beast Tide

Although Qin Feng would bring back bigger rewards each time he went out, Xue Xingfu was still anxious about the safety of Fengli in the constant absence of their prime commander.

The colony was facing a greater threat by the day as its business continued to expand.

"I have received an invitation to join in on the defense against the sea beast tide from Sea City," Qin Feng answered.

Xue Xingfu immediately pulled a long face and persuaded Qin Feng, "A new mayor has just taken over Sea City. That place is now conquered by one of the factions under Leitang Organization. You were the biggest winner last time out and walked out without paying them any compensation. This went against their rules and they are surely still holding a grudge over that."

Xue Xingfu was able to see the grander picture, an insight that Liu Heng lacked.

"I know what you are trying to say. But do you expect me to crouch like a turtle just because some hooligans have a grudge against me?"

"Mayor, you are walking straight into a trap!"

"With great risk comes great reward!"

"But why insist on this particular risk? You have just returned from yet another fierce battle, why don't you rest for a bit?"

Qin Feng shook his head. "When have you ever seen me step on the brakes? If I have loosened up even once, do you think I would have achieved all these?"

Xue Xingfu recalled their past encounters after Qin Feng had said so. He first met him about half a year ago. He was only a rather mature teenager in Xue Xingfu's eyes then.

The second time they crossed paths, Qin Feng had journeyed to the wilderness and brought back the materials of a beast general.

Fast forward to today, Qin Feng had already transformed into a mayor. He did not stop there and further popularized his colony, turning it into a famous business hub that attracted numerous opportunities. Fengli had enormous potential in the years to come.

There was a reason behind Qin Feng's success.

"You win," Xue Xingfu did not have anything left to say. His brows still furrowed deep.

"You have to elevate your personal strength as well instead of relying on your superior. Once you are an E-tier, then you could be the deterrent force of Fengli. What's good about earning so much if you don't have the ability to protect your wealth in this tumultuous era?"

Qin Feng remembered that Xue Xingfu was officially a high-tier aptitude user in his past life. Nonetheless, he was better known for his business mind and seldom involved himself in battle. That led to speculations that he was merely a paper tiger.

Qin Feng bore the same opinion. After having known Xue Xingfu for some time, Qin Feng could tell this underling was not especially disciplined in training.

"Money is my life! It's hard to admit it but I guess you are right. There's no way I can hold onto my current position shamelessly when those young ones in the colony are catching up to me so quickly," Xue Xingfu was rather embarrassed as he said.

Qin Feng corrected him, "That's not your expertise, so I am not expecting a spectacular improvement. But that doesn't mean you should completely neglect training!"

"Noted." Xue Xingfu nodded obediently. It was extremely convincing when these words were coming out from Qin Feng's mouth.

The next day, a hover train had arrived to fetch those from Chengyang to Sea City.

Unlike the situation in Han Town, the occurrence in Sea City did not need any publicity. Every year, people from all around the world would rush to Sea City, searching for opportunities during this time.

The tsunami would bash the coastal region of Sea City around the same time annually. All sorts of things might be washed up the shores by the waves, including silver pearls or even golden pearls. Those loots would be more than enough to support a G-tier aptitude user in reaching F-tier.

However, the mood was slightly different this year. The spatial waymarks sold by Wanzong had resulted in a huge loss among the upper-classes of the Three Cities. Quite a number of colonies were also holding Sea City in contempt, and they had refused to take part in this year's sea beast tide.

Though the number of participants was still enormous, the lack of high-tier aptitude users meant that things might go out of control if a powerful beast were to suddenly emerge along with the tsunami.

That was why the organizer was willing to give in to Qin Feng's exorbitant request.

As predicted by Xue Xingfu, they were indeed plotting something sinister back in Sea City.

"Those from the Dark Coalition have failed to bring down Qin Feng the last time. This time, we must exterminate him once and for all!"

"Yes, Deputy Mayor. Don't worry, our plan won't fail this time. We can guarantee that Qin Feng would not leave Sea City alive if he dares to set foot in our turf!"

The man on the main seat nodded satisfyingly. A sense of rage flashed past his eyes.

His name was Wang Zhichao, he was about thirty-five years old. He was E8-tier now and had the potential to attain D-tier in the future. He naturally became the deputy mayor after being Lei Chen's right-hand man for some years.

Wang Zhichao was the one that had employed Shademaster to make a scene at Fengli back then. He did not think that they would be so incompetent. Not only had they failed to assassinate Qin Feng but the loots had also been gained by Fengli. Indirectly, those goods helped to boost the black market's reputation further.

Initially, Wang Zhichao planned to claim back those treasures by killing the mercenaries once they had succeeded in the mission. Now, it seemed impossible to even locate where the stuff had been sold to.

"Qin Feng, I hope you bring something precious with you this time. Or else, your death alone would not be enough to compensate for my loss!" His ultimate aim was to get some shares in Fengli once Qin Feng was done for.

However, was Qin Feng really that easy to be killed?

Qin Feng met with Tan Yue again on the hover train. It was not uncommon to see him here since this was his job.

However, their previous rapport had completely disappeared this time around.

Qin Feng had become stronger and more popular, while Tan Yue was still only a train conductor.

That was not all. What happened in Pingyun had also alienated them further. Though Qin Feng had rescued them, Tan Yue and the others feared that Qin Feng might be possessed by the Wraith Devil and decided to cut ties with him.

From Tan Yue's perspective, he was angry that Qin Feng did not explain himself then.

To Qin Feng, he did not feel that it was necessary to clarify anything to an F-tier aptitude user.

"Alright. Your work is done here. Just go on ahead with your other duties," Qin Feng said and dismissed his service.

Tan Yue subdued his urge to say something and merely nodded. He proceeded to leave Qin Feng's luxurious coach politely.

Bai Li watched their awkward exchange and did not understand what had happened.

"You guys quarreled?" Bai Li asked.

Qin Feng explained the previous incident to her. Then, he murmured, "This is on me for not thinking it through. At first, it's not that big of a deal that I am a dark ability user. But it's better to keep this a secret after what has happened. Otherwise, Zhongcheng might distrust me while those in the dark might also use this against me."

That was why Qin Feng had decided to distance himself from Tan Yue as well. He could not afford to let more information slip.

Qin Feng initially planned to poach people with caliber like Tan Yue from Zhongcheng to work for him. Unfortunately, he had to give up on that thought now.

Anyhow, that was not Qin Feng's but Tan Yue's loss.
