Chapter 257: Second Arrival at Sea City

The train brought the group to Sea City. Qin Feng opted to check in at the same hotel as he did last time.

Despite the intense battle that took place not long ago, the hotel had long been restored, and the city was as vibrant as always.

The ordinary civilians were not really concerned about the power struggle among the top guns. To them, as long as the leader was dominant enough to protect them from being invaded by ultra beasts, it did not actually matter who was in power.

Of course, it would be better if the new mayor was not a tyrant that ruled with autocracy and taxed the people excessively. No one would risk their lives revolting if the authority did not oppress its people.

Hence, Sea City remained largely the same. Qin Feng and Bai Li rested well on the first day in this bustling city.

The mission of Sea City was announced the next day.

"Mayor Qin, pleased to meet you. I am the leader of the Sea City's garrison troop A. My name is Yang Ping, and I welcome you on behalf of our city."

Qin Feng measured the man in front of him. He was an E3-tier.

"Nice to meet you." They shook hands and their eyes met. Both of them could feel the skepticism and reservation in each other's minds.

"We are in a state of emergency now. The sea beast tide has already started and will probably hit the shore by noon. Instead of wasting your time taking on lesser opponents along the coastal zone, your command is more desperately needed at the frontline. I am here to escort you to the shelter island," Yang Ping said convincingly with a firm tone. He had probably rehearsed the speech several times.

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shelter island?"

Yang Ping avoided Qin Feng's gaze and explained, "That's right. The island is well-equipped too. That's the only place your true strength would flourish."

Qin Feng sneered.

Of course, he knew about the truth of this shelter island.

Beyond Sea City lay a seemingly boundless ocean.

At the center of the vast sea, numerous rifts would open up about the same time each year in the middle of the storm and tsunami, delivering powerful beasts through the crack to the earth.

This was no secret to Qin Feng, who had reached A-tier in his past life.

The beasts came from diverse dimensions and thus behaved differently. But one thing was for sure, which was that the strong would always prey on the weak. Thus, weaker beings would constantly migrate to seek for survival. Only the strong ones would get to retain their habitats.

The competition among the beasts upon the arrival of new species was the reason behind the sea beast tide, whereby the losers would be extruded closer and closer to the land.

In other words, beasts that appeared on the shore would be the weakest, such as G-tiers and F-tiers.

On the other hand, E-tier creatures were often seen near the shelter island. As its name suggested, the island served as a natural fortress to bar the E-tier beasts from entering the coastal region.

People from Sea City would only dare to visit the island after the sea beast tide since the E-tier sea beasts would have returned to the ocean by then. Materials left behind by the beasts on that island had benefited ample Sea City residents over the years.

Thus, Qin Feng was amused when Yang Ping said that they were going to battle on the shelter island. But he did not show it and instead nodded. "Sure. Let's go then."

Yang Ping could not believe that Qin Feng was so easily tricked. He concealed his delight and led the way into a luxurious command vehicle. The car left Sea City and headed to the wilderness.

They reached the actual seaside after half an hour. Sandy beach stretched infinitely on both sides, and the raging sea at the far side completed the stunning view.

"Wow!"

Bai Li was apparently fond of the magnificent ocean. The artificial seaside built inside Sea City was only a laughable pool as compared to this wonder.

In the midst of the waves, beasts were clearly seen. At such a distance, they could come ashore at any time.

The command vehicle hovered in mid-air once it entered the sea. The base of the car transformed and turned into a speed boat.

The calmness on Qin Feng's face had never changed along the way as if he already knew what to expect.

Bai Li, on the other hand, was full of questions.

"Where's the shelter island?" She asked.

Yang Ping grinned and explained, "We will reach soon. Please bear for a while longer." He sized up Bai Li carefully. From what he had heard, this girl never left Qin Feng's side. There were also rumors claiming that she was a powerful aptitude user.

No matter how he looked at them, these two appeared to be teenagers to him. How strong could they be?

Nonetheless, he dared not loosen up. Yang Ping knew that he should not underestimate Qin Feng just because he was young. The guy would not gain such a prestigious reputation if he did not have something up his sleeves.

Yang Ping was relieved that both Qin Feng and Bai Li did not seem to be suspicious.

The speed boat traveled for another two hours and the shelter island was finally in sight.

The island has a larger area than Sea City. It was shaped like a giant crescent and spanned around the city, shielding it from the ocean.

There was only a single building on the island—the Blackstone Fort.

The fort was built on high ground, about fifty meters above sea level. The wall of the fort was thirty-meter-high, making the building an imposing structure when viewed from afar.

"That's Blackstone Fort, which also functions as a watchtower. Word would be sent to Sea City immediately from here when the first tide of sea beasts lands on this island," Yang Ping explained.

Qin Feng grinned and asked absent-mindedly, "Are the E-tier beasts going to linger on this island?"

Yang Ping answered hastily, "E-tier sea beasts usually do not like to stay on shallow waters due to their large body size. That's why this island could bar them from advancing further into the coastal region. Besides, after aggressive reclamation over the years, the land on this island has been greatly expanded. So it's not very often to have an E-tier beast on the island.

His explanation seemed to be on point but Qin Feng knew that he did not actually answer his question. To Qin Feng's knowledge, beasts carried by the tsunami were not necessarily those that resided in the sea. There would also be beasts walking straight out from the rift.

Thus, not all monsters preferred to stay in the seawater as Yang Ping had claimed.

Qin Feng chose not to expose him and walked up to the fort.

A battalion was stationed inside the fort. However, everyone appeared to be extremely restless. They had lived in Sea City for decades and thus understood that it was too late to retreat now. Their chances of survival were close to nil once the sea beast tide were to hit the island.

They cursed their own fate. This bunch was the former subordinates of the previous government. Being sent here meant that someone had finally decided to cut them loose.

Before Qin Feng could take a breather from the long journey, a panic shriek from the soldiers was heard coming from the fort.

"Enemy assault! Enemy assault!"

"E tier! It's Islet Tortoises."

"Gosh! They are huge!"

"Can we chase them back?"

"That's impossible with the weapon in hand!"

The battalion was completely flustered. Being the first-line defense of Sea City, these guards certainly lacked composure.

Yang Ping was shaken when he heard the news too.

Everyone knew that even if an aptitude user was assigned as E-tier, not many could actually face an ultra beast from the same tier alone.

Especially a beast with a giant figure.

He, too, was in a panic due to the sudden emergence of the enemy. After all, he and Qin Feng were the only two E-tiers on the island now.

Despite that, he maintained his composure and bellowed, "Stop this shameful uproar at once. Can't you see that I and Mayor Qin are still around?!"

The members of the battalion instantly shut their mouth but could not help the quiver. They were half-terrified, half-angered.

Yang Ping turned to Qin Feng with a smile and offered, "Why don't we go and take a look, Mayor Qin?"

"Lead the way!" Qin Feng stood up and paced forward confidently.

Chapter 258: Shelter Island

The Blackstone Fort was indeed built on a strategic location. They needed little effort to locate the group of giant beasts emerging on the horizon.

These twenty-feet-long beasts floated on the sea like an islet, thus they were known by the name "Islet Tortoise" (E8-tier).

A total of eight of them were approaching the island fast.

They were not the only incoming threat. With a closer look, numerous beasts rode the rolling waves at about a hundred meters in front of the tortoises.

These beasts appeared to be chased by the Islet Tortoise and were struggling to swim forward.

This marked the first wave of the sea beast tsunami.

The soldiers were now paler than before.

Even the facial muscle of Yang Ping twitched slightly watching the imminent danger.

"Please don't come here! Please don't come here!" A soldier by Qin Feng's side gripped the gun in his hand tightly and muttered.

Unfortunately, God did not answer his prayer as the beasts swam straight toward the island.

Soon, the first wave hit the shore.

Though the fort was built on highland, there was no guarantee that the beasts would not reach them there. The best solution was to chase them back into the sea.

After all, the first to reach the island was just G-tier beasts.

Boom!

Someone had shot first, and others soon followed. They wanted to pin the beasts back.

However, the number of beasts was overwhelming. Even the Islet Tortoise had come ashore now.

These beasts were simply too huge. The tortoise charged on like a tank and did not fear the bombardment from the human battalion.

"Mayor Qin, that's our cue to attack," Yang Ping suggested.

"I agree. I can't wait to see your heroism."

"Haha. I am no way near you." They flattered each other while the soldiers eyed them anxiously.

Qin Feng had had enough of the meaningless conversation and jumped down from the fort promptly.

"Fiery Rampage!"

Qin Feng was wrapped in fire and he dashed forward like a rocket. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed out to more than a hundred meters away.

In contrast, Yang Ping stayed put and took out a decent bazooka. He was a gunner and that was why he had asked Qin Feng to strike first. He would not need to worry about his own safety by staying at the backline.

Qin Feng, however, might face great danger.

As expected, as soon as Qin Feng came close to the shore, the sea beasts immediately sensed the alien two-legged creature and exposed their fangs.

"Awoo!!"

The beasts roared and jumped simultaneously on Qin Feng. They were exhausted after being chased all the way up to the island. The arrival of the human saved them the trouble to look for food.

Qin Feng raised his hand and unleashed a sea of fire.

"Hellfire Carpet!"

The fire swept the sandy beach. The extreme heat caused the sea beasts to growl in pain.

G-tier and F-tier beasts were burnt down instantly.

The Islet Tortoises had discovered Qin Feng as well.

Poof!

A large water cannon was shot right at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng evaded the attack swiftly. He raised his hand again to release a fire laser.

The Islet Tortoise moved its horns and changed the position of its giant body. Qin Feng's fire laser landed right on the shell. It created tiny sparkles and left a burnt mark there.

Yang Ping had also released a missile. The missile hit the back of the Islet Tortoise and exploded. But it did little harm to the beast.

The defensive strength of the Islet Tortoise was comparable to the energy force field of a city.

However, its giant head was the beast's biggest weakness. The beast could be killed easily as long as the attack hit the bullseye. That was easier said than done because the Islet Tortoise was equally agile.

Feeling the hostility from Qin Feng, one of the giant tortoises charged straight for Qin Feng.

Its speed was considered unusually fast for a tortoise.

Such a giant beast did not need any skills. They could simply destroy their target through brute force alone.

Qin Feng remained composed.

'Just about time to test my new technique.'

Qin Feng triggered his consciousness.

"Hell Magma!"

The extreme heat of the magma instantly melted the earth's crust. The ground below the flowing magma crumbled instantaneously.

The giant Islet Tortoise fell into the magma pit as well. Unlike the chilling seawater, scorching magma sipped into the internal part of the shell.

"Roar!"

The tortoise screeched. It had never experienced such an extreme temperature. The Islet Tortoise was disintegrated within seconds.

Qin Feng wasted no time.

"Fiery Rampage!"

The Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand slid out in a parabolic curve.

"Burning Sword Glare!"

An elongated sword radiance promptly cut off the screeching tortoise's head.

Plop!

The giant head flew off and dropped on the magma and was burned clean the next instant.

Qin Feng switched to another target once he had taken care of the first.

The Islet Tortoise's giant body hindered them from fighting as a coordinated group.

Qin Feng repeated the same trick and quickly exterminated the rest of the Islet Tortoises.

The sandy beach had almost melted into a land of magma. On top of this stood the mighty sovereign—Qin Feng.

Soldiers on the fort were dumbfounded. Yang Ping, too, inhaled deeply.

Qin Feng was too powerful! He managed to kill beasts as strong as the Islet Tortoise with such ease. Yang Ping figured that there was a lapse in his plan.

'I was a little doubtful when they said that he could single-handedly handle the Drakocroc King. Apparently, that's true. At this rate, it would be unrealistic to try killing him this way.'

Yang Ping's mind began to process this information rapidly. They needed a plan B now.

Qin Feng never left the beach.

'The energy stored in the Islet Tortoises is rather rich!'

Though it was only a normal beast, Qin Feng managed to absorb a large pool of energy after killing the tortoises. His physical strength did not enhance by much but he could feel the blood racing faster in the vessel. Despite that, his heart pumped slower but more vigorously. Each pump provided more energy to the whole body.

Tortoises were indeed the key to longevity.

A lot of people were willing to pay a handsome price for meat from a tortoise beast. It was rumored that the meat could increase one's life span. The energy core of the tortoise beast fetched an even higher price.

Qin Feng started to get hopeful.

However, it was unrealistic for an Islet Tortoise beast general or king to appear here. Islet Tortoises of those levels were too massive.

The shallow water of the shelter island could indeed deter a lot of powerful beasts.

After the Islet Tortoises had landed, more beasts emerged from the sea current. Qin Feng wiped everything clean regardless of whether they were strong or weak.

Yang Ping was getting even sulkier as he witnessed Qin Feng's overpowering strength.

Suddenly, notifications rang through Yang Ping's communicator. He glanced at it and his facial expression changed abruptly. He then hurriedly concealed his unease.

Yang Ping turned his head sideways and glanced at Bai Li. He noticed that Bai Li seemed bored and paid little attention to Qin Feng's battle. He quickly excused himself, "Miss Bai, I still have things to attend to so I am leaving now. It seems Mayor Qin can handle the sea beast tide just fine by himself. Please send my regards to him later. I will take my leave now."

Bai Li glanced quietly at Yang Ping, as if her dark eyes had seen right through his conspiracy.

Chapter 259: The Great Tsunami

Yang Ping felt a chill run down his spine.

But Bai Li only glanced at him for a while and retracted her gaze uninterestedly.

"Go then."

Bai Li could not care less. Because she had seen through him the moment they met.

Her natural instinct told her that Yang Ping had been channeling nothing but animosity toward them from the start. Other than Yang Ping's speed boat, there was not a single boat parked at the dock where they arrived.

This meant that others would not have any means of leaving the island once Yang Ping left.

That, however, did not apply to Bai Li. She could even detect Fengli's spatial waymark from another dimension, let alone being in the same dimension. At this distance, she would have no trouble activating the waymark three times in a day. That was why she had let Yang Ping loose.

Yang Ping was reassured after Bai Li said so. He reckoned that he must be over-sensitive earlier.

To him, Bai Li was just a young girl. There was no way she could have the insight to see through his plans.

He left hurriedly. After he was gone, the soldiers around immediately burst into a commotion. One of them shouted at Bai Li, "Missus, how could you let him go this easily? He might be lying to you!"

"Oh?" Bai Li looked at the soldier puzzlingly.

Seeing Bai Li's baffled expression, the soldier thought that she knew nothing and advised her, "Shelter island is used to barricade E-tier beasts. Soldiers are never needed here in the first place. He has abandoned us here in this no man's land to kill us off!"

Bai Li smiled lightly. She seemed more mature now, and her action resembled that of Qin Feng's.

"You lot might be the loose end. That doesn't include me, and my boyfriend over there." Bai Li pointed toward Qin Feng.

"Missus, don't underestimate the dangers of this place. This is only the beginning. Nobody would survive the real beast tide!"

Bai Li waved them away and said, "Leave at once if you are scared. Run as far as you can. Since the guy named Yang Ping has decided to abandon you all, he wouldn't care whether you live or die. By the way, if you guys manage to survive, come join us at Fengli. We need manpower there." She used the opportunity to promote their colony.

The soldiers became hopeful hearing what Bai Li had said.

"Missus, you mean we are allowed to leave?" The soldier who voiced out earlier was certainly moved.

"Yes! You are scared, no? We don't need you here anyway."

The soldier gritted his teeth and saluted Bai Li. "Thank you, missus. We will certainly submit to Fengli colony if we ever get out of this alive."

After all, they would be labeled as deserters if they did escape from this. If no colony was willing to take them in, they would be forced to live in the wilderness. More so, they might end up joining the Dark Coalition.

The members of the battalion had made preparations as soon as they set foot on the island. They found everything they could use and built several small boats from the available materials. Of course, the crude boats were nothing like Yang Ping's remodeled hover speed boat. They might also bump into dangerous sea beasts on their way back to the mainland.

However, steered by their internal force and conscious energy, they could still make it back to Sea City within three hours if they were lucky enough.

In the meantime, Yang Ping was staring at the highest lighthouse of the shelter island from afar. A sense of cruelty appeared in his eyes.

"Qin Feng, don't blame me for this. You shouldn't have played with fire in the first place. I am just following orders," As he mumbled, he took out a switch and pressed the button.

Boom!

He could clearly see the lighthouse exploding into a mushroom cloud from ten kilometers away. Noticeably, clouds of white powder disseminated across the air following the explosion.

"Go!" Yang Ping ordered, and they left the island quickly.

At the same time, Qin Feng was startled by the abrupt explosion. He turned back to check out what had just happened.

Bai Li was perplexed too. She did not understand why the lighthouse had suddenly exploded. Luckily she was not standing there, while all the soldiers had long retreated from the fort.

The roof of the lighthouse was blasted off, and bulks of powder came pouring out of it.

The powder spread through the air rapidly and agitated the sea beasts that had just landed on the beach.

"Sea extract!"

Qin Feng's expression could not be grimmer.

He ignored those beasts near the shore and dashed speedily back to the fort using Fiery Rampage. After a few hops, he landed back near Bai Li.

Bai Li sneezed a few times. The scent from the powder made her extremely uncomfortable.

"What's this?" Bai Li complained.

"It's a type of scent used to attract sea beasts. It is said that this triggers their estrus. In the wilderness, larger beasts often find it more difficult to meet mating partners. To reproduce, the female will release the extract to lure the male toward them."

This hormone had been developed and made use by humans to lure away beasts that they were unable to cope with.

Qin Feng did not expect to see such a large amount being stored on this island.

"Are you alright? This thing seems to affect mutated beasts aside from sea beasts!" Qin Feng looked at Bai Li worriedly.

Bai Li shook her head and said, "I can hide my physical existence inside the void. Only my blood pressure has gone up slightly after inhaling some of it just now. I am fine otherwise"

Bai Li was, after all, a beast king. She would not fumble this easily to some powder trick.

Nonetheless, such a huge dose would be blown deep into the ocean zone carried by the strong wind. This would instantly turn Blackstone Fort into a giant beast bait.

Soon, the beasts would flood the shelter island.

This was when they heard an unidentified rumbling sound.

Bai Li was curious and looked up. She saw a giant wave appear at the edge of the horizon.

It was the tsunami!

The giant wave was about five-storey high. It was like a giant maw ready to crush the sky and the land.

Qin Feng was looking at it too. Though this was not his first time seeing a beast tide, he still felt that this might be the most impressive scenery he had ever witnessed.

Both of them were rooted on the ground.

The wave came crashing onto the island.

Instantaneously, the tsunami wave washed up ample beasts onto the beach.

The entire shelter island acted like a giant blockade. The wave raced past the beach and hit on the cliff, rocking the Blackstone Fort built on top of it.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Black reefs effectively intercepted the wave, but the whole island was quaking due to the impact.

Another tsunami wave promptly followed!

This time, it was accompanied by a giant storm. A rainstorm ravaged the shelter island like meteorites.

In front of this natural disaster, Qin Feng and Bai Li were insignificant.

Qin Feng released his internal force and formed an invisible shield with it. He held Bai Li close while barricading the seawater that was showering madly upon them.

Chapter 260: Decaying Rain

The shelter island had been effective in reducing the impact from the massive tsunami to that of a lower height, however, it still continued to push further toward the direction of Sea City.

Only the Blackstone Fort was able to withstand the tsunami and stand firm while being surrounded by the sea that had submerged the shelter island entirely.

The sea level began to reduce, as if a second tsunami wave was on the way.

Sea beasts that were swept forward by the wave exposed their gnarly appearances as the high tide receded.

There were all sorts of sea beasts that had appeared, while some were even unrecognizable!

However, the sea extract that was spread out earlier had caused them to be extremely agitated.

"Roar!"

Deafening roars echoed up into the skies.

The Sea City, where the executives were located within a skyscraper building that showcased authority.

Endless footage was being transmitted to a massive screen, and it was all related to the tsunami that had just happened at the Blackstone Fort.

"The sea beast tide today will most probably be extremely difficult to face!"

"There are too many sea beasts, it is impossible to find out how many of them will be intercepted!"

"Who was the one that was standing on top of the Blackstone Fort? Was it Qin Feng?"

"Shh, stop the nonsense if you don't know what is happening!"

Everyone stopped their discussion about Qin Feng and carried on with other topics, however, all of them were still focusing on the person that had appeared in the footage.

All of them clearly knew what was happening.

"Qin Feng will have zero chance in surviving this time!"

"Hmph, serves him right for disrespecting our Leitang Organization."

"Too bad, those who stand out too much would surely attract unfortunate events!"

Everyone was having different thoughts, but all of them agreed that Qin Feng would not survive the battle!

It was at that moment, the first footage on the screen had gone dark entirely and was then covered with white snow.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The screens blacked out one by one.

"What is happening?" Wang Zhichao's complacent expression immediately turned to that of an agitated frowning face.

The technician from the technical department immediately reached out to fix the problem.

"Mayor, the equipment is broken!"

"Broken? All of it?"

"Mayor, it seems to have been intentionally broken by someone!"

As soon as the sentence ended, Wang Zhichao controlled his anger and sneered coldly.

Obviously, he had figured it out!

It was Qin Feng who did it!

"Switch the screen to the coast of Sea City and check on the situation there, as the tsunami has already gone over to the shelter island, it will soon arrive here!"

"Yes, Mayor!"

"Prepare for battle."

"All departments are ready!"

Visuals were soon recovered, but it was no longer showing footage from the shelter island.

Of course, none of them mentioned who was the one that had messed with the surveillance system on the shelter island.

Qin Feng extended his conscious energy on the Blackstone Fort, and every surveillance camera began to self-destruct.

Once he had confirmed that there was no surveillance left, he shifted his focus toward the ultra beasts that had ambushed the Blackstone Fort.

The reduced sea levels had allowed them to withstand being swept away by the waves, and they began to crawl back with their blood-red eyes fixed onto Qin Feng and Bai Li.

Both of them were doused by the sea extract that had caught the attention of the ultra beasts but the sea beasts all rose up in anger as soon as they realized that it was merely Qin Feng and Bai Li!

The level of intelligence of the sea beasts was above average.

Qin Feng was surrounded by countless sea beasts that were continuously swarming toward him from the coast, any ordinary human being would have already gone ballistics to be trapped in such a situation.

However, Qin Feng remained unbothered by it, and he even began to sneer.

"It is unfortunate for all of you to be here, and I welcome all of you to contribute your energy to support my path toward the future!"

Qin Feng raised his hand abruptly.

In the next moment, a black light was channelled up into the sky.

It was a massive pillar of light that was about two meters in width, and the black light that was shot up had turned all of the clouds above pitch-black.

The aptitude users from Pingyun would definitely be surprised if they were to witness such a scene.

It was the same skill that Qin Feng had used against the Wraith Devil.

At that moment, those that were at Pingyun were unable to see clearly what had happened in the sky due to the limited vision at night.

Now, despite strong winds that were blowing from the sea and the sky that was filled with blurry grey clouds, the horrifying scene in the sky could still be seen vividly.

However, there was nobody that was there to witness such a horrifying scene.

Black clouds rolled in a gradually intensifying spiral movement while the color turned darker as the spiralling became faster, all of a sudden, black rain began to pour down from the sky.

"Decaying Rain!"

Qin Feng called out the name of the ability.

It was indeed a deadly rain that quickly turned sea beasts into corpses as soon as it hit them.

Qin Feng was able to feel all the energy that was being removed from all the sea beasts there. The energy was channeled to their brains, forming a new energy core that controlled their bodies to ignore the pain from the heavily decayed body, and the energy level within them had also sky-rocketed.

"Corpse Control Style!"

Qin Feng utilized the remaining conscious energy left from Shademaster, and he was able to gain instant control of all of the carcasses in the surroundings.

Within a split second, it was like Qin Feng was connected with another contract beast from deep within his conscious energy. However, they did not have any thoughts and were only blindly following instructions that were given, it was totally different from Bai Li.

"Detonate!"

The command initiated explosions in every single skull of the carcasses, and energy cores were blasted out from the explosion.

Qin Feng's command could even send them to death.

Of course, as soon as the sea beasts were drenched in the decaying rain, they were already dead!

Decayed carcasses piled up on the outer parts of the Blackstone Fort while ultra beasts were still constantly swarming in from the sea and ambushing the island.

However, they were all instantly controlled by Qin Feng and turned into command-obeying carcasses.

It was like a repetitive cycle was formed.

Qin Feng had one hand in the air, as though it was connected with the skies, as he released a constant flow of dark runes and called down the decaying rain.

It would certainly be an extremely taxing task for other people, but it was the total opposite for Qin Feng!

Among the conscious energy universe, dark runes that were released from the Hell Stone had even amplified Qin Feng's decaying rain.

Not even beast generals could avoid being infected and transformed into carcasses if they were to be doused by the decaying rain.

Massive numbers of energy cores piled up before Qin Feng.

"Ability, devourer!"

Qin Feng used his other hand and summoned all of the energy cores, devouring them all in bulks.

Only decayed beasts would be able to produce such energy cores as they were formed from the concentrated flesh and blood of their bodies.

Qin Feng was absorbing the intensified essence from their bodies.

The constant devouring of the essences had strengthened the physical capabilities of Qin Feng's body.

Qin Feng also felt as if he had gained more longevity for himself by devouring the energy cores from the several Islet Tortoises.

"More!"

Qin Feng carried on with his insane slaughter.

The decaying rain that was under the control of his conscious energy had turned the horrifying tide into a self-strengthening heaven.

It was his first try in releasing such a great number of dark abilities.

Of course, nobody was there to witness the scene!

Qin Feng did not hold back on his attack, he carried on with his own method to annihilate every sea beast that came.

Rumble!

Another wave of tsunami rose up to more than ten meters high along with white gushes of waves that were connected with the sky, then, the impact slammed onto the coast once again.

It was the beginning of the month of sea beast tides!

Chapter 261: Slaughtering The Beast King

Qin Feng stood on top of the Blackstone Fort that was built high up using superior quality materials, or else, he would have been long gone with the massive waves.

After all, the Blackstone Fort was built to protect Sea City from tsunamis throughout all these years, therefore, distinct quality materials were used to ensure that it could withstand such a great impact.

Also, without any presence of human beings, the ultra beasts would not even bother to ram onto the giant black rocks with such great force. As such, the Blackstone Fort was able to keep its best form to take on great impact.

Qin Feng was able to use the strategic location of the Blackstone Fort to his own advantage.

The presence of the dark abilities had turned every ultra beast into his own puppets that followed his commands, then, he was able to withdraw energy from them.

Qin Feng was also capable of taking down Sea City with the massive army that he was controlling.

However, Qin Feng had his own intentions.

"If I were to take such a path, wouldn't I become a beastmaster?"

"External strength can never be more beneficial than self-improvement, the only way to regain the control of fate is to speed up the level of improvement to be the same as I was before rebirth!"

"Therefore, the best choice would be to take in every single one of these energy cores!"

Qin Feng held onto a giant massive core and continued to devour it, and his physical capabilities spiked once again.

Although Qin Feng might have been gifted with outstanding capabilities that came after his rebirth, he would always remind himself that there would always be someone from another part of the world that might be stronger than him.

After all, the Three Cities covered only a small area.

It was nothing to be proud of to conquer such a small area.

With his current capabilities, it was not enough for Qin Feng to move forward.

Even by achieving A-tier, Qin Feng felt that it was still insufficient for him to take on all sorts of situations.

The tsunami retracted and left behind the ultra beasts that were prowling to rush toward the Blackstone Fort, and they were all decayed by Qin Feng.

Also, Qin Feng was cautious about not allowing the decayed carcasses to be flushed away into the sea, his hellfire was used to burn every carcass into ashes, while Bai Li collected every remaining high quality material that was fireproof.

The wave of tsunami that had just hit Blackstone Fort had washed away all of the ashes, while another wave of sea beasts continued to rush forward again, it was definitely never-ending!

It was also a little taxing for Qin Feng to constantly cast out his conscious energy.

However, it was extremely satisfying to do so!

Energy cores were left behind from the deaths of every sea beasts.

Qin Feng would only need to continue the devour to strengthen his energy.

Incubated energy cores could also be stored into the brain to obtain conscious energy.

Hence, both Qin Feng's physical and conscious energy were spiking simultaneously.

With such insane waves of sea beasts, it would only require several more waves to allow Qin Feng to advance to the next tier.

Splash!

Another gigantic tsunami pushed forward.

Dong dong!

Countless sea beasts were brought along with the waves, and they landed outside the walls of the Blackstone Fort.

As Qin Feng was protecting Bai Li and him from the massive waves with his internal strength, a horrifying dark-red tentacle crawled up the walls of the Blackstone Fort.

Qin Feng turned his eyes toward it, and from the splashing sea waters, he was able to identify a giant beast.

The Great Squid King!

The gigantic squid was about forty meters in length while its suckers were like massive snakes crawling up the Blackstone Fort.

King-tier!

Its capabilities were merely E1-tier and were less powerful than Qin Feng's, but the massive body size of the Squid King would also add a greater amount of energy to it.

The beast had noticed Qin Feng from the waves and instantly became wild and furious.

Within a split second, multiple tentacles reached out to catch Qin Feng.

Pa!

A loud smacking sound was heard when the tentacles hit onto the barrier formed by Qin Feng's internal strength, the internal strength barrier fluctuated with light reflections and almost cracked upon impact.

Qin Feng immediately switched to his Verdant Emperor Saber.

"Burning Sword Glare!"

Dazzling lights sparkled from Qin Feng's saber that was made from D-tier beast king material as it took down the opponent's tentacles effortlessly.

The Squid King was instantly angered as it raised and waved other tentacles around, towering waves were formed and the solid walls of the Blackstone Fort began to vibrate along with cracking sounds, powdery pieces of the wall began to fall off.

Pa!

The serrated part at the edge of the city wall was flattened by the smash, Qin Feng wrapped his arm around Bai Li's waist as his Fiery Rampage burst forth, and they were able to dodge the deadly hit!

"Blazing Sky!"

Qin Feng who was already E-tier was no longer the same, with his physical energy, he was able to swiftly perform the third skill of the Sky Burning Sword Style without much effort.

Fiery flames channelled up to the sky and pierced through the body of the Squid King.

Poof!

The body of the Squid King was almost sliced into half.

It was at that moment, the gigantic body of the Squid King began to collapse and transform into countless small squids.

All of them were scattered around, trying to escape, obviously, they were fearful of the situation.

"Would escape still be a viable move now?" Qin Feng pointed his finger toward the walls of the Blackstone Fort as his ability exploded.

"Hell Magma!"

All of the small squids were trapped inside the red magma transformed by the melted stones, and they disappeared in it along with a splashing sound.

"Roar…"

An unidentified roar was heard, it was neither from a human nor a beast, and it was like a roar to express its extreme sorrow, or it was panicking before its demise!

In the next moment, a giant patch of black mist spread across the area and covered Qin Feng whole.

The black mist was nothing related to the dark elements, it was the ink from the Squid King.

It had a highly paralyzing effect and Qin Feng would not risk taking on the hit.

Without any reminder from Bai Li, Qin Feng swiftly escaped from the area within a split second.

Poof!

The mist descended upon the walls of the Blackstone Fort and formed into countless holes.

However, it was merely the last chance for the Squid King to strike back!

The last attempt had cost all of the Squid King's ability to secure its own life, and the remaining small squids went past the boiling magma, desperately trying to dive into the sea.

Qin Feng's saber slashed across the sky and landed precisely onto one of the small squids.

Poof!

It was sliced into half!

The moment that the squid was sliced open, it was when the shapeshifting began to fail, the small squid was merely a partially duplicated part from its gigantic body.

"Keep this material from the beast king, it's quite decent, and this can be made into a roasted squid meal!" Qin Feng said.

Bai Li raised her hand and withdrew the beast king's energy core and retrieved the carcass of the great squid.

"This is for you!" Bai Li handed over the Squid King's energy core to Qin Feng.

"You can keep it for yourself!" Qin Feng answered, Bai Li's transformation would require a longer time without the presence of a king-tier energy core.

However, Bai Li did not want to take it for herself and handed it directly to Qin Feng.

"You can have it first, and once you have become stronger, you will be able to protect me!"

Qin Feng took over the energy core as the edge of his lips curved upward into a smile.

It would take immense trust for a small fox to hand out its own food to others as they would secure their own food only for themselves.

Furthermore, since when did a spatial giant beast require protection from others?

The little fox had even stopped humiliating him, saying that he was a weak master.

"After going through rebirth, with your accompaniment, it's definitely much more interesting!"

As Qin Feng spoke, he held onto the energy core that was shrinking at a fast pace.

The king-tier ability core spun at high speed and disappeared in Qin Feng's hand, turning into ashes that were then blown away by the sea breeze.

Qin Feng had achieved another breakthrough!

E5-tier!

Chapter 262: Qin Feng is Still Alive?

Ten days later.

At the shelter island that was beyond the walls of Sea City.

The reefs of the Blackstone Fort appeared to have been tortured for more than a hundred years, with traces of battles left all around.

Qin Feng slashed onto a beast general that was rushing toward him and flipped it backward with his attack.

Then, the Decaying Rain infected his opponent completely and transformed it into a carcass, while his conscious energy continued to gain control, pinching its skull into an explosion.

"Beep beep beep!"

Qin Feng's communicator began to vibrate.

He caught a glimpse of it, and it was Zhou Hao.

Qin Feng alerted Bai Li to go into the inner parts of the Blackstone Fort.

The area had accumulated water from the splashing waves, and Qin Feng would not want to use his communicator on the outside, despite Zhou Hao being his close brother, he did not need to know everything about Qin Feng.

"What is it?" Qin Feng turned on his communicator and Zhou Hao's face appeared on it.

"Phew, it's good that you are alright, the bastards from Sea City are spreading fake news that is upsetting me!" Zhou Hao saw that Qin Feng was unscathed, and appeared fine, with only his hair that was slightly messy, and lightly tanned skin colour.

However, Qin Feng frowned and replied in a deep voice, "What did the people from Sea City say?"

Zhou Hao was extremely angered by it and he started complaining, "They are saying that you have been missing for more than ten days and might even be buried under the sea, and that there is no news about you. They have even humiliated us by sending regards to Fengli colony, didn't you just contact Xue Xingfu three days ago? What do they mean by missing for more than ten days!"

Qin Feng chuckled, to those people at Sea City, he had indeed been lost for more than ten days!

"Hmm, understood, are there any rebel movements at Fengli so far?" Qin Feng asked.

"None of them dare to take any action so far!" Zhou Hao replied.

With Lin Wuyi's presence at Fengli, combined with Zhou Hao's F-tier Emperor Golden Queen Ant that had been showcasing its strength, E-tier aptitude users could never go up against the queen ant alone, hence, it would require combined forces to initiate a rebel movement.

Qin Feng nodded satisfyingly. "Don't worry about them, meanwhile, I should also return to showcase my existence, or else, these people would really think that I am dead!"

"Hmm, you should slap the face of those who spread such news, they are indeed a bunch of nasty people!"

By spreading the fatal news about Qin Feng, would it not be directly implying that Fengli colony had become an ungoverned yet resourceful place?

"Fear not, I would never go easy on those who dare to belittle Fengli!"

Qin Feng handed over some of the tasks to Zhou Hao and ended the call.

The situation at Fengli dissipated with the call, however, those that were at Sea City were still itching to take action.

Qin Feng decided to make his move!

During the early stages of the past ten days, waves would hit the shelter island at three-hour intervals, and Qin Feng did not have a chance to close his eyes for three consecutive days of intense battle.

As the waves began to slow down, the intervals became five hours, seven hours, and now, it would only occur once every ten hours.

Throughout the entire ten days, Qin Feng had encountered innumerable sea beasts that had all become his target to devour. Now, he had already achieved E7-tier, and he was very close to E8-tier.

With this kind of speed in his advancement, other people would see it as either an act of the devil or utter lies!

Qin Feng had indeed gone through a brutal slaughter the past few days.

From all those battles, he had encountered thirteen beast kings, and two of them were cunning enough to escape from Qin Feng, hence, Qin Feng was only able to kill eleven of them.

It was already a great accomplishment!

However, as time passed by, the presence of ultra beasts had reduced together with the fading sea beast tide.

"The people from Sea City are probably living too comfortably and are beginning to look for trouble!"

Qin Feng sneered.

He was able to intercept most of the sea beast tides headed for Sea City. Some of the smaller-sized G-tier and F-tier ultra beasts still managed to reach Sea City, but the sea beast tide had definitely weakened in comparison to previous years.

With such a weak sea beast tide, absence of news from Qin Feng would definitely give an impression to everyone in Sea City that he had died from the first wave of tsunami.

In fact, Yang Ping had been sending messages to Qin Feng to find out if he was still alive, but Qin Feng had been ignoring him.

Now, Qin Feng would have to give Yang Ping a surprise!

All of the carcasses were burnt off by Qin Feng's hellfire, and the ocean had washed away all of the remaining ashes, so the shelter island was left clean and spotless once again!

However, only those who had been on the shelter island would know what had happened here!

Qin Feng turned on his communicator and contacted Yang Ping.

"Commander Yang, it seems like the sea beast tide is about to end, send someone to pick me up!" Qin Feng sent his request.

On the other hand, Yang Ping was having an awesome drinking session with the others at Sea City.

The weak tsunami of sea beasts had reduced the massive ultra beast attacks toward the city, therefore, they were able to chill and relax!

Yang Ping's eyes widened when he looked at his communicator, toppling over his glass in the process.

"Haha, Senior Yang, what happened? Has your body weakened? Did the two beautiful ladies push you beyond your limits yesterday?" Another E-tier aptitude user mocked while laughing.

Yang Ping stared at his communicator with a stiff expression, like his eyes were about to pop out.

"Senior Yang, what is happening to you?"

Somebody beside Yang Ping called out to him with a push.

He quivered and instantly recovered from the blank stare he had on, and his facial expression had changed.

"Qin Feng, Qin Feng is still alive!"

The person looked stunned for a short while, as if he did not hear Yang Ping clearly, like he had already forgotten the name.

A short moment later, he came to, his eyes widening in the process.

"You are saying that the Qin Feng from Fengli colony is alive?"

Yang Ping nodded.

"Inform Boss right now!"

Only then, Yang Ping started panicking and dialed Wang Zhichao's communicator, hastily describing the situation.

Wang Zhichao was silent for a moment, seemingly unable to register what he had heard.

He then clenched his teeth and replied in a deep voice, "Go get him, and find out what happened!"

Yang Ping did not want to obey the order, but he had to.

He could only hope for the best!

Although Yang Ping had explicitly abandoned Qin Feng, and even triggered a time bomb that had set off a huge explosion of sea extract, during the conversation through the communicator, he acted as if he cared about Qin Feng's well-being.

As for the case of the sea extract explosion, there was no witness that could prove that it was Yang Ping who had done it, and he could easily brush it off with other excuses when faced with Qin Feng's questioning.

Yang Ping convinced himself as such and braced himself in replying to Qin Feng's message, however, it had been more than half an hour since he received it.

"Be quick, or else the next tide will arrive soon!" Qin Feng replied.

Having not experienced any tsunami or gigantic sea beast tide, Yang Ping did not have the sense of urgency, and he thought that Qin Feng was only being fussy about having somebody pick him up as soon as possible.

"Hopefully Qin Feng barely made it out alive since he seemed to be worried about leaving the island in such a hurry. If he really is injured, don't blame me…"

Yang Ping suddenly had an urge to kill with this thought in mind!

Two hours later, Yang Ping had arrived at the shelter island, and from afar, he could not believe what was before him, it was the same as he had left it ten days ago!

The speedboat travelled closer toward the Blackstone Fort that was about to collapse, and its appearance was like a historical building that was filled with marks and scars!

Chapter 263: The Critical Speed

Numerous points of impact, both big and small, had appeared on the surface of the black walls, parts of which had even collapsed.

The scorch marks and shattered stones were indicative of what Blackstone Fort had experienced.

This was not a battle. This was a war!

At this moment, a bunch of figures appeared in the distance. Looking closer, one would see two people, one with a tall build and another a petite feminine form. Both were shrouded in flames, quickly moving forward.

Soon, the fiery figures came into view.

Qin Feng had a steely expressionless face, but he was obviously not happy, speaking in a hushed tone, "What took you so long? Any longer and you wouldn't have to even come!"

Yang Ping only felt an overwhelming murderous aura that screamed death coming from Qin Feng, and the faint scent of blood.

This briefly made him feel a sense of dread. It had been no more than ten days but looking at Qin Feng now, all Yang Ping saw was something that was enigmatic and unpredictable.

"Mayor Qin! Don't you know that there are ultra beasts on the beach, it was really difficult for me to even sail here so don't blame me!"

Qin Feng sneered, "Stop dawdling. Either we leave now, or all of us stay behind!"

Yang Ping was unconcerned, but he quickly nodded, "Yes yes yes!"

With this thought in mind, he swiftly instructed his crew to turn back to avoid going to Blackstone Fort!

In an instant, the once extremely sturdy walls of Blackstone Fort, walls that had been reliable for ten whole years, collapsed entirely.

Then, a monstrous wave squeezed itself through the fort walls and spread outward.

The waves were chasing after the speedboat with incredible speed, as if they were about to be overwhelmed at any moment.

"Hurry! The levitation gear, quick, quick!!!" Yang Ping's voice was now a pitch higher!

The soldiers naturally heard the command, but not only that, a sharp siren was ringing out through the entire speedboat.

The alarm was warning about incoming beast generals. There were seven of them right behind them.

Such a situation was both thrilling and terrifying. If they were caught up with, they would surely be gulped down.

Having pushed the propulsion engine to its maximum speed and working with the boat's suspension system, they frantically rushed toward Sea City.

However, they underestimated how fast the water was moving.

Crash!

Even with the suspension system activated, the boat was still picked up by the waves and thrown forward!

"Activate the energy shields!"

A sphere of energy quickly wrapped around the boat.

Kroom!

The wave instantly dragged the boat below the surface, the energy shield shielding them from the wave. After submerging entirely in sea water, the speedboat popped back up on the surface as it gushed forth, carried by the waves.

The island barrier behind them had already been submerged beneath the waves, along with the fort wall of Blackstone Fort. The crack in the wall became bigger and bigger before the wall was completely destroyed.

The entire boat was tossed up above the waves before it was brought crashing back down below the waters. Just as that wave receded, another ten meter tall wave loomed behind them, raising up into the air before violently slamming onto the boat's shield.

Crack!

A crack appeared on the energy shield, and its light began to flicker wildly.

The boat's helmsman was only a G8-tier aptitude user. In the face of this ferocious force of nature, his face was pale as he felt completely helpless!

If the waves broke through, the boat would be smashed into splinters! Not just that, there were countless ultra beasts lurking around!

Qin Feng and Yang Ping were not afraid, but how could the helmsman not be? He was not as strong as they were!

"It's over! We're gonna die! Oh gosh!" The helmsman began to cry out in a state of panic.

At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly unleashed his internal force. Yang Ping and the helmsman felt the dense internal power emerge from him, wrapping around the speedboat like a bubble, like a new protective cover.

This new cover was translucent, having a misty appearance. Ancient warriors would know what it was.

An E-tier ancient warrior's internal strength was like a sea of clouds. This tumbling cloud shield naturally came from Qin Feng's internal force.

Crash!

A wave slammed into the shield but it ended up getting blocked by the internal force, leaving the speedboat unharmed.

After that huge wave had passed, the speedboat was pushed back onto the surface.

Qin Feng called out in a deep voice, "What are you waiting for? Drive!"

The helmsman reacted, quickly upping the amount of knots the speedboat was traveling at to push it into a mad dash forward.

Fortunately, after a few nautical miles, the waves were not as strong as the ones before. The floating speedboat skipped across the surface of the water until it reached a part where the waves could not harry them, and chugged on ahead.

There were some G-tier ultra beasts on the beach ahead being hunted by lower tier G-tier aptitude users who were completely oblivious and carefree.

Qin Feng said, "Commander Yang, you saw the way of the tide just now. Best tell those aptitude users now and get them out of here!

Yang Ping was still in a state of shock after coming back from what felt like the brink of life and death, scared out of his wits. He came to after hearing Qin Feng's voice and unconsciously nodded his head.

"Yes, yes. I'm on it!"

If it were not for Qin Feng, Yang Ping would have died at sea. He was a gunner, and in the face of the ocean's force, he would have been dragged below the surface and wound up in some ultra beast's belly.

He quickly issued the alarm, announcing that the tide was inbound. He also dispatched some troops ahead to assist in defense, being so busy that he did not even think of reporting to Wang Zhichao at first.

Qin Feng was naturally sent to Sea City's most luxurious hotel as a sign of respect.

"I feel like I've finally returned to civilization!"

After having hunted for ten days, being surrounded by rotting carcasses and all made him feel uncomfortable and a little bit stressed out.

The moment he reached the comfortable and luxurious hotel, he felt like he could finally relax.

"Bubble bath! Bubble bath! I want a bubble bath!" Bai Li said in a sing-songy voice. "You're taking one with me, hubby!"

Qin Feng suddenly felt like his entire body boiling.

"Don't play with fire, you little vixen!"

Chapter 264: The Threatening Tide

Of course Qin Feng knew that in the end Bai Li was still just a fox kit that was actually around eight months old, which was why they took baths separately.

They slept soundly after relaxing on the extremely soft beds that their suites provided, drifting off into sweet dreams. It was the best sleep that they have had in the last two weeks.

Unlike those two, the entirety of Sea City sounded a top priority alert.

The sea beasts were incoming.

Previously, due to Qin Feng's actions and Blackstone Fort's defense, the sea extract made the low-level ultra beasts that managed to bypass the shelter island turn back to the island, greatly reducing the city's crisis.

However, the repeated battles in Blackstone Fort left it in ruins, making it unable to resist against the force of an incoming tsunami and was washed into rubles!

The last tsunami was split in half and did not manage to reach Sea City's coast, but now this one was pushing onward without mercy

The careless sentries in their watchtowers widened their eyes in horror as they watched the incoming rising waters and let out terrified screams.

"Run!"

"Run away!"

"The fortifications won't hold it!"

"Retreat, everyone retreat!"

"Argh! Help!"

Even though they were trained soldiers, discipline be damned at such a sight!

They tried but they did not manage to outrun it. The moment the tsunami met the shore, it was no longer a massive wave but a flash flood that had reached the top of the watchtower, and was followed by a school of ultra beasts.

In the unlikely event that the waters threw an ultra beast at the tower, it would have brought down the structure immediately.

Sea water rose, turning turbid yellow the moment it hit the sand and instantly bringing down the fortifications as it rolled forward. The fortifications were originally there to fend off against sea beasts and came equipped with huge cannons but now they were all submerged.

Even heavy artillery was nothing against the force of nature!

The aptitude users who stayed were all immediately submerged under water.

"Run! Run!"

Those who were wise enough to begin running when they realized that something was wrong were now snatching mere seconds from the Reaper. Some found high ground, while others were dragged beneath the waves.

More than eight hundred aptitude users were now in the water.

The turbulent waters that were full of sea beasts.

"Oh f-"

"No!"

"Stay back! I said s-"

They fought back with all they got, but even with all their might they still would not have been these monster's match on dry land, let alone face them underwater. There were all kinds of ultra beasts around, falling into the waters was a death sentence!

The muddy yellow water became stained red for a moment, and in the next the red was washed away.

Such heavy casualties!

Yang Ping took in the sight, even when he had warned the aptitude users to fall back he did not realize how threatening the tide would have been.

The subject that truly made them despair was what was beneath the waves.

"Beast general! E-tier beast general!"

"Hurry up and move!"

There were loud roars coming from all around them, nobody thought about fighting anymore. The main objective was to survive.

In this chaos, these ultra beasts thrived!

There were three beast generals that were washed in with the tide. While it was less terrifying than the previous seven beasts, three of those things were more than what Sea City could handle!

That was because Sea City did not have any D-tier aptitude users at the moment.

Yang Ping's face paled. Just like that, it was up to him and the other remaining E-tier aptitude users.

"Fight back! What are you doing just standing around? Get a move on!" Wang Zhichao barked out orders as he stood in the command room, watching the carnage that was being relayed by a drone.

Right now, all of the heavy artillery was submerged underwater and only E-tier gunners could be mobilized.

"Curses!" Wang Zhichao wrung his hands, gritted his teeth and made the decision based on his gut. "Hurry and grab every E-tier aptitude user you can and get them to the frontline!"

"Deputy Mayor! You're… you're going too?!" His secretary beside him asked in a voice trembling with fear.

"If I go, then who's going to give out orders? Ready the special missiles. If things go south, we'll use those to destroy the beasts!"

The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was not going to die along with the rest.

"Yes, Deputy Mayor!"

Wang Zhichao frowned, his heart was drumming against his ribcage.

Fortunately, the tide had retreated after swallowing a huge portion of the coastline, leaving a bunch of exhausted ultra beasts and half of the aptitude users alive.

Those who were familiar with the tide knew that it would not end just like that, as far as they knew there would be another one incoming within ten hours.

This high tide basically massacred them in a sudden thrust.

In fact, these survivors did not know that if it were not for Qin Feng's help, the situation would have been more intense and the ramifications much worse. If only Blackstone Fort could hold on, if only Qin Feng did not need to retreat, then these people would have experienced a peaceful month of sea beast tide.

Today, the cruelty of the sea beast tide month had opened people's eyes!

At this time, Qin Feng was sleeping peacefully, and after ten hours, he naturally woke up.

Looking at the time, it was seven o'clock in the morning.

"Xiao Bai, wake up. We're going down for food!" Qin Feng hollered.

For more than ten days, they ate nothing but dried rations. Their taste buds needed something new.

Bai Li's beast-type body meant that she would be fine if she were to just eat energy crystal cores. Qin Feng, on the other hand, had not yet developed some kind of unbreakable iron stomach, and to him days without taste were days not worth living.

Since he had returned to a human colony, the only thing to do was to have a big meal!

After putting on his casual clothes and Bai Li putting on a dress, with her badge stuck to her chest, the two went down to the restaurant.

This time, the restaurant was not as lively as when the Wanzong Auction was being held. There were only two to three people, their faces rejoicing as if they had just been given a new lease of life.

He stopped by the open kitchen and said, "I've got an ingredient I'd like you to prepare for me!"

Then he proceeded to pull out a tentacle, which would have been unrecognizable if he did not explain what it was.

The tentacle was only about ten centimeters long, but it was about half a meter in diameter. It looked like a millstone.

Such a large ingredient exuded a bone chilling aura. The customers in the restaurant picked up on it and their hairs stood on their ends.

The head chef felt his blood run cold. "Sir. What exactly is this? Why does it look so scary?" His voice trembled a little.

Realizing that his line of questioning seemed rather unprofessional, he steadied himself and cleared his throat. "If I knew what it is I'd be able to better prepare the ingredients to cook it!"

Qin Feng nodded, remarking, "It's a Squid King, very powerful. It was an E-tier beast king! Don't worry, it's very much dead!"

He used his internal force to sweep away the overbearing aura that the tentacle exuded as he spoke.

When the head chef felt the aura disappear, his body shook even more. This time with excitement!

"In all my years as a chef I never thought I'd be able to cook something from an E-tier beast king! This will become legendary! Rest assured sir, I will definitely do this for you!"

With a twirl, the chef began to work as he unleashed everything he had in his culinary arsenal to produce dish after mouth-watering dish from the ingredient he was given. The smell itself was enough to make people drool.

Qin Feng and Bai Li had a very hearty breakfast.

At this moment, a flustered G8-tier aptitude user entered the restaurant. He looked at Qin Feng and Bai Li as if he had found his saviors.

"Mayor Qin!"

He was still a distance away when he began to shout.

Chapter 265: Put Up or Shut Up

This G8-tier aptitude user was regarded as Yang Ping's confidant, Tian Miao. Moreover, this person had previously met Qin Feng before. He was none other than the helmsman that piloted the floating speedboat!

"What's the matter?" Qin Feng asked when he saw the person, his voice sounded rather gentle. After all, they did go through a life and death situation together.

The man's awe at Qin Feng could be seen from his gaze, as he hurriedly said, "Commander Yang can't leave the front line, and has sent me in his stead to invite you to the battle there!"

Qin Feng let out a frosty laugh, not bothering to mask his expression.

Tian Miao's heart did a backflip, being a confidant he knew quite a bit about interacting with people. When he saw Qin Feng's expression he knew immediately that he was not happy to be called up.

"I don't want to make this difficult for you. Make Yang Ping personally come here and tell this to me in person!" Qin Feng said coldly.

Tian Miao swallowed hard and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes!"

He quickly sent a message, sweat beading on his forehead.

By now, Qin Feng was almost done with his meal, casually wiping his mouth.

Meanwhile, Bai Li was having a great time chowing down as the chef was still trying to make better dishes and was serving them to her.

"Beep Beep!" Qin Feng's communicator rang. When he saw who was calling, a casual smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth

"Commander Yang, what's wrong?"

Seeing Qin Feng's unworried expression only made Yang Ping even more anxious.

After a night of battling, he looked extremely haggard, as if his energy had dropped by a lot. This was not just the consequence of staying up late, it was because he had been overdrawing from his consciousness. His eyes had dark circles and had a glassy stare.

"Mayor Qin, the sea beast tide is here again!" Yang Ping said with urgency, "Come to the front line!"

Qin Feng only smiled.

"Isn't that normal? Or were the sea beast tides you faced while I was on the shelter island weaker?"

Yang Ping was horrified. He had his own speculations but after Qin Feng spoke he was left in a shock.

The month of the sea beast tide was so peaceful in the earlier stages, could it have really been because Qin Feng was fighting hard against such a desperate crisis?

"Commander Yang, that sea extract you have was very useful. None of those sea beasts approached Sea City and only focused on Blackstone Fort. It's a shame that the fort wasn't as strong, otherwise it probably would have lasted until the end of the month of the sea beast tide!"

Yang Ping looked flushed all of a sudden, he felt a little bit guilty at that moment and even more afraid.

"Mayor Qin, what sea extract… What are you talking about? If you thought that it was useful then that's good, it's good that it was useful!"

Qin Feng's expression remained the same, he knew that Yang Ping was hiding something and did not dare to admit it.

He continued to stay silent, taking a long sip of water which Yang Ping did not dare object against as he patiently tried to persuade Qin Feng into taking action.

"Mayor Qin, help us please! There's really no other way and we've been fighting for a whole day now. Everyone's tired!"

"Oh? I fought for ten days and I didn't say I was tired. You are saying that you're tired after just one day? Commander Yang, I think you've had it going much too easy and comfortable," Qin Feng quickly retorted. "That's it then! I'll just take another day off and you and your boys out there can give it your best shot. Besides, I think I've done enough that's worth getting a commission from Sea City. After all, no matter how powerful the ultra beasts are, wouldn't Mayor Lei be able to handle it? Don't think just because I'm some foreign aptitude user that you'll get to boss me around, telling me what to do!"

Yang Ping sputtered from the bitter taste in his mouth. If Lei Chen were here, he would not feel so nervous.

The key point was that Lei Chen was not here!

And now even Qin Feng knew, naturally based on Yang Ping's expression.

It was normal for him to be absent. Qin Feng could recall a major event that involved the gathering of many D-tier aptitude users from the Three Cities along the Sun as well as the distant Four Cities of the North Sea.

"Right, I'm gonna go take a nap or something. Good luck, Commander Yang!"

Yang Ping had been beaten black and blue; there was no way he could force Qin Feng to come to the battlefield! It was useless being as anxious as he was anyway, he could only report this to Wang Zhichao.

"Hmph! What nonsense, if he's not coming then so be it! There's hundreds of thousands of people at stake and you're putting hope on some… some puffed up blowhard? How could he have faced so many beasts alone? He must be lying to you!" Wang Zhichao barked angrily.

In the last sea beast tide, two ultra beast generals were taken down by advanced energy cannons.

These high power energy cannons cost one hundred million per shot, like the ones Chi Long used in Han Town.

They were very powerful and were expensive to use; the problem was that it took more than just one to take down an E-tier beast general, especially giant sea beasts. One shot was simply not enough.

They had already fired five. That was five hundred million gone.

If the situation could have been handled by throwing money at it Wang Zhichao would not have bothered asking for someone to find Qin Feng; they were running low on ammo.

The next sea beast tide could be seen coming from a distance.

"I'm going this time!" Wang Zhichao made up his mind and ordered someone to drive him to the front as he forced himself to go!

Sea beast tides got weaker and weaker each wave, he could only hope that the next wave had weaker beasts!

He was sorely disappointed when he saw that the next wave had five sea beast generals.

After all, Blackstone Fort on the shelter island had collapsed at this point and there were traces of battle left behind by Qin Feng. It was unknown how much beast king blood still lingered on the spot.

These beast generals made the mistake of arriving on that island and immediately retreated. There were stronger ones behind them and those did not dare turn back. So with nowhere to go, the only direction was Sea City!

Wang Zhichao scanned the surroundings with his drone and steeled his face from the results, obviously he was hesitating his next decision.

He asked in a grave voice, "Yang Ping, what Qin Feng said about being worthy of commission. He was just trying to extort us for money, wasn't he?"

Yang Ping was taken aback by this, hesitating for a moment before saying, "Maybe… yeah, it must be!"

In reality, Qin Feng just did not want to show up and this had nothing to do with money but the serious look on Wang Zhichao's face scared him enough to say so!

Wang Zhichao immediately said, "Contact Qin Feng and tell him it's a hundred million per beast general and ask him if he can take action!"

That could have been considered as preferential treatment but there was nobody who could take down these E-tier beast generals, and their artillery shells cost one hundred million per shot. It was just more cost effective to hire Qin Feng.

Yang Ping quickly contacted him.

"Deputy Mayor, Qin Feng says that he gets to keep whatever he kills!"

Wang Zhichao was furious but he could only grind his teeth. "Fine!"

"Okay!"

Half an hour later, Qin Feng slowly arrived at the newly-established fortifications. In fact, it was dangerously close to Sea City; those within the city could hear the roars of the sea beasts.

If this wall were to be breached then the sea beasts would swarm the city and slaughter its residents.

A blood-drenched Sea City would be a delicious feast for the beasts.

He had changed into his combat uniform by the time he arrived at the fortifications. He was tall and handsome but did not give off the aura that a young person would have, quite the contrary, he had this calmness that made him seem deep and unfathomable.

However, Wang Zhichao treated Qin Feng with little respect.

"What a bigshot you are! You wanted us to be begging on our knees so you'd show up?"

Qin Feng let out a frosty laugh, "Put up or shut up! Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk!"

Chapter 266: Easily Handled

Qin Feng responded rather bluntly.

There was a tinge of red on Wang Zhichao's eyes, the bloodshot look obviously meant that he was furious! Qin Feng's words were like a slap in the face.

Wang Zhichao did not have a way of defending himself because he knew that there was nothing he could say to refute those words. If only he was strong enough to take on these beast generals by himself, then he would have already gone ahead instead of having to deal with Qin Feng's unfettered attitude.

It was at this moment that Qin Feng continued to speak, "I see that you're not willing to admit defeat, Deputy Mayor Wang. We'll have a little competition of who can kill the most ultra beasts. How about that?"

Wang Zhichao did not dare to take on this bet.

"I have to preside over the situation so how could I have time to go messing around with you? You're wasting time with all talk and no action, every second counts, and with every second a life could be lost. Mayor Qin, I hope you can see the bigger picture!"

Qin Feng chuckled in a slightly disdainful manner.

Such a person was afraid of even comparing prowess in battle and they wanted to hurt him?

Sounds like a fever dream.

Qin Feng's gaze left the Deputy Mayor and he finally had a look at the situation.

Indeed there were five beast generals running amok, one of them was a Drakocroc general and there was also a Frigid Armored Bear, a Teal Tyrant Crab, a Three-Banded Boa as well as a Triple Octopus.

Their combined strength was immense.

Moreover, all of these beasts were huge and were no less than ten meters tall. It seemed like they were sweeping the area of aptitude users, who could only duck their heads and run. The Sea City army took out a large number of electrofusion guns to paralyze and stall these beasts' movements.

One aptitude user pulled the trigger and electricity erupted from the muzzle toward the ground before forming into a large net to act as a hindrance to the enemy, but he was much too close to his target.

Psst!

The Three-Banded Boa general locked onto its target and blasted out a spray of red, yellow and purple smoke, almost forming a small cluster of fog in its target area.

The aptitude user was shocked when he was covered by the fog and wanted to flee. After two steps, it felt as if something was stuck in his throat and he found himself unable to breathe, his mouth agape as his face turned blue. By the time his eyes rolled to the back of his head, he had already died before he hit the ground.

The surrounding aptitude users were too afraid to move forward and did not dare attack. Those few E-tiers from Sea City could only surround the beast warily, otherwise these ultra beasts would turn the whole place upside down!

They were like Yang Ping, haggard and dirty, their hands refusing to rest in their fight against the ultra beasts.

What a motley crew!

These people had been beaten down and were almost broken, their confidence was in shambles. Otherwise, a group of E-tier aptitude users would have no problem taking down a single E-tier ultra beast so long as they worked together!

Not to mention, Wang Zhichao was here. The problem was that even though Wang Zhichao had the strength, he did not have the spirit.

"Fiery Rampage!"

Qin Feng was enveloped in flames as he quickly entered the battlefield. Almost instantly, the moment he landed into hostile grounds, a beast general had already locked onto him

It was the Teal Tyrant Crab. The giant enemy crab was huge, it was about five or six meters wide and had two huge pincers that were probably two to four meters long. The pincers were strong enough to shred through bedrock.

When it saw Qin Feng appear, the Teal Tyrant Crab did not hesitate to try and snap him up with its pincers. He responded quickly, pulling out the Verdant Emperor Saber to parry the incoming claw attack.

Clang!

Sparks flew as their weapons collided.

Everyone nearby had on a shocked expression. The shell of that crab was incredibly tough and they knew that better than anyone.

After all, if it were not for that fact the thing would have died already. Its shell resisted their decomposition blasters and they had no other way of removing its exoskeleton.

In Qin Feng's eyes, this did not mean much. The split second after sparks were created, he violently flung the crab backwards with the amount of force he exerted; he continued his momentum and brought the Verdant Emperor Saber down on the crab again.

That kind of power was too great to imagine. He was not just holding back the crab, he was quite literally knocking it back.

Wang Zhichao witnessed Qin Feng's bravery and combat prowess, and his eyes momentarily reflected intense jealousy.

So young but so powerful. Someone like that was going to be a huge problem if he were not dealt with soon.

However, there was nothing Wang Zhichao could do! Unless…

His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Disregard the critical moment we are in and lure that twenty-four-arm octopus and giant drakacroc there!"

If the five ultra beasts were to gather together, that might as well be a disaster. In order to prevent that from happening, those fighting had naturally separated them into different parts of the battlefield so that the E-tier aptitude users could deal with them one by one.

These people, who were highly ranked in Sea City, were also members of the Leitang Organization.

They were still taken aback by Wang Zhichao's words.

"Deputy Mayor, wouldn't that actually make things worse?"

"If these ultra beasts kill Qin Feng, they'll become harder to control and it wouldn't be easy to separate them again!"

"Deputy Mayor, please reconsider!"

Nobody dared speak out loud, instead they directed their messages back to him through their communicators. The E-tiers of Sea City already had their hands full in the face of just one of these sea beast generals, they did not believe that Qin Feng could take on three at a time!

"Hmph, didn't he brag about how he defended the shelter island for more than ten days? I want to see just how strong he is. Now move it!" Wang Zhichao said coldly.

At this point, the other E-tier aptitude users had begun to deviate from their original positions and were headed toward Qin Feng. Of course, while the plan was to throw in some false drama, it was not hard to play their panic off as real. In reality, they could not bear it anymore!

"Mayor Qin! Help!"

An E-tier ancient warrior rushed toward his side and the Triple Octopus chasing behind him was much stronger than he was. It shifted its tentacles under it and started to gallop forward, if it got close enough to lash out, it would have been able to grab this ancient warrior ten times over.

However, this octopus was nowhere near that beast king he fought.

Qin Feng had been repeatedly flipping over the Teal Tyrant Crab, naturally moving away from their original position, and it just so happened that the Triple Octopus was in the same path.

He flipped the crab directly at the octopus, their bodies collided with one another and caused them to sustain massive damage.

There was no doubt that this ancient warrior was safe!

Qin Feng did not stop his attacks.

"Hell Magma!"

He summoned runes that quickly appeared under the feet of the two ultra beasts.

Boom!

The ground seemed to spew out magma, drowning the Teal Tyrant Crab and the Triple Octopus in it. This scorching lava singed the fine hairs on the skin of the E-tier aptitude users that were too close by as they felt the intense heat, especially the ultra beast generals that were caught in it!

What a devastating attack!

By this time, the Drakocroc general had reached Qin Feng's position.

"Come on then!" Qin Feng shouted, raising a hand and causing more flames to spread.

"Blazing Sky!"

A straight line of bright light pierced through the air, the glint of it momentarily dazzled the onlookers.

The Verdant Emperor Saber had directly slashed through the neck of the Drakocroc general. The E-tier aptitude users that the Drakocroc had been chasing around suddenly stopped.

A black, charred wound had appeared around the creature's neck, right before the huge head began to roll off onto the ground.

The Drakocroc general had been slain!

Three ultra beast generals, two of which yet to be confirmed dead. Nobody had expected the situation to turn out like this!

Chapter 267: Absolutely Humiliated

It was just a momentary confrontation, but Qin Feng had displayed such explosive combat prowess.

"Bring the remaining two over here too!"

Qin Feng let out a grim laugh, standing on the Drakocroc general's back as the creature's charred skin bled profusely with a stream of thick blood.

Everyone was as quiet as cicadas in winter.

Qin Feng had already seen through their actions but regardless of how many there were, the beasts had to be killed, so he could not care less!

These creatures were simply no threat to his person at all. Soon, the remaining two were unceremoniously put down with his Fire Dragon Style.

An aptitude user who had just awakened last year; a talented ability user genius but had also mastered two ultimate level abilities and even had an inconceivable level of sword fighting which could allow him to kill beast generals in seconds.

When people saw Qin Feng's strength, it felt like they had just reached the foot of a very tall mountain.

After killing all five beasts, he began to stuff their remains into his spatial rune equipment in full view of everyone.

Without the beast generals leading the charge, the other ultra beasts were not as confident in their advance.

These ultra beasts were soon blocked off by gunners, and Sea City's troops began to rebuild their fortifications in anticipation for the next sea beast tide.

Based on their previous experience, there would be around one or two waves left before the season would end!

Qin Feng walked to where Wang Zhichao was, noticing the other's ashened complexion. Like he owed him a few billion yuan.

"Deputy Mayor Wang, with good luck I managed to complete the mission!" Qin Feng said.

That made Wang Zhichao suddenly very upset.

He could only make sure that his face remained stern as he coldly remarked, "Bear in mind not to be impatient! You're still young, don't just go around showing off!"

As he said that, Wang Zhichao faintly revealed the aura of an E8-tier ancient warrior. His gaze fell onto the E-tier badge on Qin Feng's chest and he felt a sense of superiority.

Qin Feng merely chuckled.

Around this time, an ancient warrior appeared next to him.

"Mayor Qin, thank you so much for just now!" The man was grinning from ear to ear. "My name is Chu Yingshan, a drifter!"

Drifters, also known as 'experiencers' were not originally people from the Three Cities. They just happened to have been passing by.

Chu Yingshan was by no means weak. Standing at E5-tier, he had been hired by Wang Zhichao to help with the sea beast tide.

He was the one that was pinning down the Frigid Armored Bear, that ice-coated monstrosity could have been considered the strongest of all the ultra beast generals. It was also E5-tier!

Even though they were in the same tier, it was clear that Chu Yingshan could not have beaten his opponent. One false step and he would have ended up becoming prey!

He was in it for the money so that he would not have any problems in the future. He already knew that Wang Zhichao's people would cheat him, but all he could do was endure. This was not the last resort either and he could not turn on these people, all he planned to do was turn tail and run the moment it became too dangerous.

Therefore, when Qin Feng came over to help, he managed to earn Chu Yingshan's gratitude.

"Hello, you can just call me Qin Feng!" He reached out to shake the other's hand.

Before his rebirth, he was a drifter too. He had been to plenty of places, walked from the north to the south and witnessed the seasons change. Qin Feng knew of the difficulties drifters had, but he was comfortable with them.

Chu Yingshan appeared to have great potential, he did not look very old, probably around twenty eight years old from the looks of it.

"Qin Feng, when I came over to the Three Cities I've admired you for quite a while. I didn't expect that I'd get to be in battle alongside you today! You're stronger than I imagined, and you say you're only seventeen years old, right?"

Chu Yingshan and Qin Feng struck up a conversation.

Qin Feng's height was now very close to his fully developed height before his rebirth. He was taller and stronger than most ordinary people, standing at 189cm tall.

With such a height and physique, he indeed did not look like a seventeen year old!

"That's right, but my age has nothing to do with my strength. I mean I have strength now but I couldn't have done so without experience. In the past seven or eight months, I've experienced hardships that normal people couldn't even begin to imagine!" Qin Feng said.

At this point, Chu Yingshan and Qin Feng had found a common topic.

"Not bad. Strength doesn't come from nowhere. It comes from facing life or death situations, otherwise I wouldn't have become a drifter. Though, Qin Feng, how strong are you now?"

It was not just Chu Yingshan that was curious. Wang Zhichao, who had turned to face the side, was curious as well. He wanted to know Qin Feng's true strength.

His body was very strong, having the body of a beast king made his level unpredictable. Not only that, he had not been truly tested before. That E-tier badge he had on was merely his current identity, without it people would not believe that he was merely E-tier.

The asteroid assimilation move had its limits as well, the move used no more than one tenth of his internal force and naturally his power was still a mystery.

Qin Feng glanced at Wang Zhichao and smirked at the thought of that mild aura he produced earlier.

"Right now, I'm almost about to reach E8-tier!" He said, mobilizing more than seven layers of the sea of clouds that were his internal force as his body began to unleash his aura.

At that moment, Chu Yingshan and Wang Zhichao felt as if they were facing an infernal beast! The force was absolutely terrifying!

Wang Zhichao felt absolutely humiliated and no longer wanted to listen to the conversation between the two.

What did he just hear?

An E-tier seventeen-year-old, twenty years younger than he was.

Going out to practice and gain experience, was that them mocking him not leaving his house? Wang Zhichao could not remember when was the last time he actually fought!

Not only that, Qin Feng's internal strength was catching up to his own.

He thought about how he deliberately exposed his internal power just now and felt that his face was a burning red.

These two were so busy talking that they naturally would not have been bothered by Wang Zhichao.

"But you're also an ability user, that's really impressive! Was ancient martial arts something you had to cultivate? Man, I finally know what the word 'genius' means!" Chu Yingshan said with admiration.

Wang Zhichao's expression was ashen, letting out a cold harrumph as he turned to leave. The way he moved hinted that he was going to break out into a run at any moment.

Chu Yingshan noticed the Deputy Mayor at that moment, and he asked with some confusion, "Deputy Mayor Wang, what's wrong? Think we're wasting time talking here? Now that the situation's stable, you wouldn't want us to go kill more ultra beasts, right?"

Qin Feng smirked. "Maybe the shock is too much."

Chu Yingshan caught the meaning behind his words and understood what actually happened before letting out a boisterous laugh.

"Talented people are produced with each generation, the new is always replacing the old. Even if your mind is too narrow, martial arts will never stop moving forward!" said the ancient warrior.

After Chu Yingshan had awakened, he began to wander about. He was more familiar with ultra beasts than he was with people, and he had never experienced infighting within a colony. While he was not naive, he was absolutely innocent, and even had an absolute belief in martial arts.

The man had Qin Feng beat in that regard.

After he awakened his ability, Qin Feng also knew that in this world, abilities were the strongest, second to none.

As an ability user continued to grow, they could raise mountains and part seas, wipe out enemy forces with a snap of their fingers. There was nothing they could not do.

In contrast, although the ancient warrior's internal force was strong and their martial prowess impeccable, they did not have the destructive firepower needed in the face of sea beast tides like ability users did.

Qin Feng was about to reach D-tier, and he anticipated that moment more and more!

Chapter 268: Qin Feng, A Lunatic

Qin Feng was naturally spared from the remaining battle.

The executives of Sea City paid a total of five billion to Qin Feng reluctantly.

It was a fair trade considering Qin Feng's feat. However, the other aptitude users still bemoaned for not getting any materials after putting in the effort to stall the beast generals earlier.

These people knew nothing about gratitude. Qin Feng paid no attention to them.

The G8-tier aptitude user, Tian Miao, who escorted Qin Feng earlier, was the only few showing Qin Feng proper respect. He prepared a spacious car for Qin Feng to rest and had also brought along the chef from Sea City hotel to cook for Qin Feng.

There were ample materials in Qin Feng's spatial equipment. The chef was an excellent cook and Qin Feng was being generous with the ingredients. That resulted in one delicious dish after another.

Chu Yinshan had joined Qin Feng for the meal. Their conversation provided Qin Feng a lot of new information that he was not aware of in his past life.

After all, Chu Yinshan was more than ten years older than Qin Feng and had a great life experience. He would no doubt make a good mentor.

Qin Feng admired a man of such calibre.

"I suggest you visit Niumeng City after you are done with Sea City," Qin Feng said.

Chu Yinshan looked at Qin Feng with surprise, then he nodded. "Okay. I will do as you say."

They chatted for a while and Chu Yinshan took his leave. After all, amidst the climax of the sea beast tide, even an F-tier beast could be a huge headache.

Qin Feng was allowed to rest because he had single-handedly slain five beast generals to turn the tides around.

You do not draw a sword to kill a fly.

Two hours later, the tides had once again subsided. However, the defense team along the coastline dared not loosen up and hurriedly strengthened the barrier to prevent the seawater from flooding the city.

They had no room to retreat now. Right behind them were the precious plantation lots of Sea City.

The barricade was more than twenty meters high. It was built up speedily surrounding the periphery of Sea City with proper drainage.

Such construction was a piece of cake to the human race with the current technological advancements.

Soon, the sun went down the horizon. Orange rays bathed the evening sky, displaying a thrilling yet poignant scenery.

The wind seemed to have declined gradually.

However, the hearts of the people in Sea City were still clenched, knowing that this calamity was far from its ending.

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The alarm was sounded yet again, signaling the arrival of the next sea beast tide.

The surveillance drones that were patrolling in the sky were instantly blasted away by the storm. Turbulent sea waves crashed on the barricade outside Sea City mercilessly.

Splash!

The dam floor was once again flooded by the waves. The barricade worked perfectly as it effectively prevented water from entering the city.

"Here they come!"

"Trigger the electric mine!"

"Don't let them climb the barricade!"

Members of the battalion shouted out the instructions hysterically.

Qin Feng alighted the vehicle and quickly went up the barricade. From his vantage point, he could see that the base of the barricade had been thronged by countless beasts.

Suddenly, a Blue Croc jumped up from the water. Its three-meter-long body climbed up the barricade rapidly. Once it reached the top, the beast struck its maw and bit the nearest aptitude user.

Almost instantaneously, the aptitude user lost his legs. He was dragged down to the waters violently while shrieking painfully.

Fresh blood stained the mud-water red.

Qin Feng drew his blaster and shot the Blue Croc.

Blood spread across the pool rapidly, which attracted more beasts to the spot.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Qin Feng fired rapidly. He did not miss a single shot and in the blink of an eye, the aptitude user was surrounded by beast carcasses.

The aptitude user was unharmed other than his initial wound. He knew someone had just saved his life.

He followed the projectile of the gunshot and saw Qin Feng who was still calmly firing. Each shot from his blaster instantly took away the life of a beast.

That was true strength.

Feeling grateful and astonished, the aptitude user took advantage of the short window of safety and climbed up to the nearest land with both his hands and feet.

Qin Feng, who had been watching the aptitude user, pulled a long face.

Both of his legs were broken. His lower limbs were nowhere to be seen under his pants.

"Thank you kind sir!" The guy smiled at Qin Feng but there was more sorrow on his face rather than joy.

Though he was an ancient warrior, he was now a disabled man after losing both his legs. There was a slim chance that he would ever battle again.

Such was the fate of every aptitude user.

At least he was still alive.

Qin Feng took in a deep breath and nodded back. The blaster in his hands was being fired more rapidly now.

How many humans had fallen to the sea beast tide?

An idea suddenly came to Qin Feng's mind. He had never thought about it in the past, including his previous life.

'When will Doomsday end? We have been living like this for two hundred years!'

'A-tiers are just petty flies in the eyes of those behemoths. Though S-tier is an entirely different existence, even they are unable to change the course of human fate in this hellish world.'

'What can I do then? Is it possible for me to reach S-tier, SS-tier, or even higher?'

'If that's achievable, will human race finally be able to close the rift permanently and end this f*cking Doomsday once and for all then?'

The target became clearer and clearer in Qin Feng's mind.

Qin Feng moved even faster. His conscious energy was expanding insanely through the tense battle.

E8-tier! Qin Feng made a breakthrough during the battle.

At the same time, the alarm of the communicator rang once more.

Even without its warning, Qin Feng could already see the horrible creature.

Unknown spots were seen floating on the mud water. As the wave crashed forward, the spots reflected the rays of the setting sun and appeared orange in color.

It could be easily mistaken as a giant translucent net or a piece of plastic. But the aura around the "thing" was telling enough that it was no ordinary creature.

An E5-tier beast king!

It was a gigantic jellyfish.

Though it was still quite far away from the city, people could easily spot the monster from high ground. The monster was carried by the river, and dead bodies could be seen piling around it. The monster was eerily quiet.

Those bodies must have been killed by the jellyfish's poison.

So the identity of the beast was a mutated jellyfish carrying deadly venom.

Everyone was daunted by the beast, except Qin Feng.

A sense of determination could be seen in his eyes.

'Kill, kill them all to end this sickening world! This is the living duty of every human on this Earth!'

The next moment, Qin Feng raised his hand and summoned a beast.

Umbra stallion!

Qin Feng climbed the horse and galloped straight toward the jellyfish.

The defenders on the barricade rounded their eyes watching Qin Feng's action.

"What is he doing?" Wang Zhichao could not believe his own eyes.

Yang Ping's lips were trembling too. He watched Qin Feng's back and realized how foolish he was before for attempting to take this man's life.

"Is he crazy!?"

He might very well be. Or else, he would not dare to challenge a beast king all by himself.

Only a lunatic would do what Qin Feng was doing.

He had no fear!

Chapter 269: Killing the Beast King with Ease

To most people, a beast king symbolized total destruction.

Aptitude users would only dare to challenge the beast king if the tier gap was huge enough.

Otherwise, it was no different from suicide.

Wang Zhichao was the combatant with the highest tier on the scene.

The corresponding beast king within his capability would be an F8-tier. However, he still would not dare face an F8-tier beast king alone if it really did appear. A minor slip up in front of a beast king would get him killed instantly.

As for now, the beast king they were expecting was an E5-tier.

Not to mention, it was one of the most horrendous kinds—Venomous Giant Seawasp.

Even Lei Chen would have hesitated if he were here.

A creature like a beast king could usually be avoided if one did not provoke it. Sea wasps were not able to live without water so it would certainly leave when the wave recedes.

Yet, Qin Feng had decided to challenge the unthinkable.

They could think of one possibility—Qin Feng had gone insane.

"Hellfire Carpet!"

Hellfire spanning one hundred meter square burned blazingly.

The fire seemed to be undeterred by the water and attached itself to the Seawasp king's body.

The flame engulfed the beast rapidly.

The Venomous Seawasp did not make a sound but expressed its anger by splashing the water. A giant wave soon formed and engulfed Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's conscious energy was fused with the stallion's and they galloped to the sky to evade the massive wave.

"Fire Dragon Style!"

A fire dragon emerged in response to Qin Feng's raised hand. The dragon then dived back down straight into the water.

The excessive heat carried by the dragon boiled the seawater instantaneously.

The steam generated from the boiling was highly venomous. Qin Feng relied on his physical attribute comparable to that of a beast and continued to battle fearlessly.

Other ultra beasts around collapsed as soon as they came in contact with the venomous vapor.

"Retreat. Abandon this barricade now!" Wang Zhichao bellowed and ordered everyone to fall back at once. The steam had reached the barricade and already put down a few soldiers.

No one dared to stay put. They did not wish to suffer from the "battle between gods".

"Run!"

"So this is the power of an E-tier aptitude user? That's insane!"

"No. Perhaps only Qin Feng could be this powerful."

Other aptitude users had completely given up the barricade. They did not care whether the beasts would climb the wall and threaten the safety of Sea City.

Their own safety was the top priority at the moment.

The sea beasts, on the other hand, did not have time to ascend the barricade either. They were killed by the poison, if not already burned to death.

The venom from the Seawasp king was deadly but Qin Feng had no fear.

The attack from the Venomous Seawasp was equally aggressive.

It was not a simple-minded beast that relied solely on its brute force but a highly intelligent water-type beast king.

Qin Feng's fire-type ability should be countered easily by its water-type attack. Yet, the beast could feel that its life force was being sapped out by an unseen power hidden within the flames.

That was because the flame was not an ordinary flame but Hellfire!

This type of flame was equipped with dark runes, which enabled it to burn away its target's life energy.

Splash!

A waterspout rose from the seawater and struck at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng urged his stallion to gallop away.

One after another, waterspouts rose behind Qin Feng.

Then, a giant water dragon from within the waves chased after Qin Feng.

Qin Feng hastily summoned the fire dragon and the two forces collided head-on. The fire dragon was extinguished, while the water dragon evaporated.

The resulting water vapor shrouded the area. No living creature was able to escape this dead zone.

"My turn!"

The Venomous Seawasp had a huge, soft, and slimy body. The beast was only able to reach the shore by clinging onto the dead bodies of other beasts.

The beast king had almost zero weaknesses. Its body was mainly constructed by water. Even if it was shredded, the beast could quickly heal itself by absorbing the water runes in its surrounding.

But Qin Feng knew that even such a beast was not invincible. Its weak point was its water-type ability core.

The core was currently being protected by a ball of muddled materials.

Amidst the wave, the water depth was about seven to eight meters deep. But the ground beneath it still trembled as Qin Feng pointed at it.

"Lava Flow!"

This style did not only alter the land but also created a blasting impact.

The ground under the seawater quaked rampantly as if Qin Feng had taken control of a lava vein within the crust.

Boom!

A spout in red broke through the ground and shot up to the sky.

It was a lava-spout. Like volcano eruption, the lava elevated sky high all the way into the clouds.

At this moment, even the aptitude users that stayed far behind the barricade could get a glimpse of the lava-spout.

The Venomous Seawasp, who resided right on top of the lava-spout, was unprepared for it. Its body was made of water so the lava pierced right through it instantly.

"Come here!" Qin Feng extended his hand and the ability core fell right onto his palm.

The ability core was almost the size of a basketball.

Plentiful water runes swirled around the core. This could be easily sold at three billion in the market.

The Venomous Seawasp did not die immediately after losing the core. That only provoked it further.

Translucent materials began to stack up and it promptly surrounded Qin Feng. The beast wanted to engulf Qin Feng and poison him to death.

Qin Feng danced furiously with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

The fire radiances from the saber turned into a fiery cyclone and completely shattered the Seawasp's water around him.

Then, scarlet flames spread across the land and ruthlessly scorched everything it touched.

The Venomous Seawasp's body was lit by Qin Feng's hellfire and turned into ashes.

Seawater gradually regressed after the epic battle came to an end. Qin Feng and his stallion were seen standing on the body of a giant sea beast.

There was only one word to describe the surrounding—Massacre!

All the beasts being washed up to the shore were killed silently by the battle between Qin Feng and the Seawasp.

This round of sea beast tide ended abruptly, with Qin Feng being the last man standing.

In a dimension where others could not see, remaining power from the killed beasts was absorbed rapidly by Qin Feng.

Qin Feng instantly made another breakthrough.

E8-tier!

The others could only watch in awe. Their communicators were still connected to the regional network while some drones were still patrolling the sky. They witnessed the entire process, as well as the final outcome.

This sea beast tide had ended in the hand of a single man.

How unbelievable was that?

"Qin Feng. So this man is the mayor of Fengli colony…"

"He is the real deal!"

"Is Fengli still recruiting? I am so going to Fengli after this."

"Did he just break through the next tier?"

"How strong could he be? I believe he will attain D-tier in no time!"

The aptitude users behind the wall discussed feverishly.

Qin Feng rode the stallion back on top of the barricade. He looked down on those aptitude users that had clumsily fled back by a few hundred meters earlier.

The umbra stallion galloped and stirred up the dark mist behind it. Soon, Qin Feng arrived in front of them, and the people subconsciously opened up a path to let him through.

Chapter 270: A Fruitful Return

Qin Feng knew exactly who he wanted to meet first. He moved swiftly toward Wang Zhichao.

"You don't need to pay me the reward for the beast king but I will take home all the loot. Please deliver them to me after they have been collected and packed properly. I guess it's not too much to ask using some of your manpower?"

He had helped Sea City to eradicate waves of beasts. So of course, it was not too much to ask.

Qin Feng spoke using a superior tone. Wang Zhichao could only look up to him now. In fact, everybody was looking at him like he was a hero.

Indeed, he was not much different from a hero now.

"No problem. This is the least we can do to repay you. I will make sure everything is properly arranged." Wang Zhichao finished his sentence with a twisted face.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. These loots are all yours. We will keep watch over them."

"That's right. We won't allow anyone to embezzle even a single material into their own pockets."

"Mr. Qin, you should get some rest now."

Everyone was standing by Qin Feng's side. Wang Zhichao's face could not be any darker.

He did not have any intention to pocket the loot. However, what others said clearly alluded that he was a corrupted man.

Qin Feng nodded to them and went his own way.

The evening glow slowly faded away. It took a lot of time to completely harvest the beast parts. Qin Feng did not plan to sell them out directly as he did in the past. Instead, he asked Tan Yue to prepare for him a cargo truck as he wanted to carry them back to Fengli.

Night fell and people remained vigilant throughout the whole night. Nevertheless, the sea beast tide did not hit again until the next morning. Occasionally, some beasts came ashore but they were easily dealt with by the guards on night watch.

They knew that the month of the sea beast tide had finally come to an end.

Qin Feng brought home more than ten cargo trucks. This was another fruitful trip.

Owing to that, Qin Feng was the greatest hero of this year's sea beast tide, Wang Zhichao and others had also come to bid him farewell. However, their faces could not be any more somber when they saw Qin Feng.

After the catastrophe, people began to rebuild the coastline. Sea City had also sent out drones to check out the situation at Blackstone Fort.

The fort had turned into a ruin. Sea City would need to spend substantially to rebuild the entire thing. This was all thanks to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng sneered. He understood the cold look on their faces and felt for them.

Nonetheless, none of this would have happened if they did not conspire against him in the first place.

They were reaping what they sowed.

"That should do it. Deputy Mayor, I can find my own way back from here on." Qin Feng politely rejected their escort.

Wang Zhichao replied resentfully, "I hope Mr. Qin can be our guest at Sea City again next year. Sea City is extremely safe with you here."

"Haha," Qin Feng laughed and rebutted, "That would not be necessary. I think Lei Chen will be back in Sea City this time next year. I might not join the event next year since I will probably be in the frontline at that time."

Wang Zhichao wondered how Qin Feng knew that Lei Chen was not around in Sea City. However, his mind was soon distracted by Qin Feng's second sentence. He said in an envious and sarcastic tone, "Wow! Then you will surely create an unprecedented record. We have never had such a young D-tier user from the Three Cities."

The frontline is the shield of the entire human civilization. The Three Cities were considered a relatively safe zone behind it. Even so, these Three Cities were still under constant threat from ultra beasts.

This indicated how dangerous the frontline could be.

Every D-tier must serve at the frontline for three months. They could only opt to return to the city after that.

Wang Zhichao was baffled by Qin Feng's confidence. He had just declared that he was going to reach D-tier by next year.

"Thanks for your encouragement." Qin Feng smiled back lightly.

Wang Zhichao did not say another word as Qin Feng entered his hover car.

All the cargo trucks behind him were also hover-vehicles. The more than ten trucks held the materials of the entire sea beast tide. This was equivalent to ten percent of Sea City's whole asset.

Now it all belonged to one person, Qin Feng.

All of Sea City's executives were envious.

"Deputy Mayor, should we…" One of the military commanders asked after seeing Qin Feng left.

Wang Zhichao glared back at him.

"Should we? Yeah, let's look for some random mercenaries again! Who else could defeat him other than a D-tier now?"

The person hung back sheepishly.

Yang Ping chipped in immediately, "Deputy Mayor, don't be angry. Qin Feng is probably the strongest among all the E-tiers in the Three Cities now. But the stronger he gets, the more attention he would receive. I think it's best to decide what to do only after Mr. Lei is back."

"Okay. Don't bother me with this name again in the future." Wang Zhichao turned around and left sullenly.

Qin Feng was not a problem Wang Zhichao could handle for the moment.

A lot of members from the Dark Coalition did take notice of the large convoy departing from Sea City. However, not a single party dared to rob it. Some even went as far as possible, fearing that Qin Feng might misunderstand them.

Thus, the convoy faced little hassle along the way.

When the trucks reached Fengli, Xue Xingfu could not hold back his jolliness. Though these were technically Qin Feng's private property, the customer that it would draw was still going to bring in a lot of potential revenues.

After all, the news about Qin Feng's heroic act in Sea City had long spread across the Three Cities.

Qin Feng was generally regarded as the hottest aptitude user in town now.

"Why the happy face? I thought you were unwilling to let me go at first?" Qin Feng asked the chubby Xue Xingfu.

"Haha, am I such a short-sighted person?"

Qin Feng shook his head. "Now that's some lame hindsight."

Xue Xingfu was not embarrassed and maintained a big smile. He reported the statistics to Qin Feng.

"Mayor, including the items in the truck, the materials that you have retrieved along the way fetched a total of thirty billion!"

That was an astronomical amount.

Xue Xingfu had no idea how Qin Feng achieved this.

The other materials were carried back by Bai Li. It was stored in the garage and passed to Xue Xingfu by Qin Feng when he was back. Xue Xingfu thought that Qin Feng had brought along an enormous spatial equipment so he raised no doubts.

Still, he was baffled by the quality and quantity of the materials.

There were more than ten King-tier materials alone, though there was no ability core and power core. Nevertheless, these materials would still be worth a handsome price.

Of course, the gain this time was still lesser than the time Qin Feng went to the island. He had robbed from others that time and found the hidden treasures. That was why he earned more from that trip.

"Alright. I will entrust the materials to you then."

Xue Xingfu nodded and changed the topic, "Mayor, I made an unauthorized decision and took in an item during your absence. I feel that it might be useful to you."

"Oh? What is it?" Qin Feng was intrigued.

Chapter 271: Battlegod Token

Xue Xingfu took out a jade token.

The token was about the size of a palm. Its color was as dark as ink and definitely a well-refined black jade. There was Chinese calligraphy imprinted on it.

Wu[1]!

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with excitement.

'It's a Battlegod Token!'

Xue Xingfu narrated exultantly, "A giant rift appeared out of thin air outside Niumeng City two days ago. Through the rift, one can see a mountain housing great energy. There's a stone slab in front of the mountain. On it was carved all sorts of ancient calligraphy. Roughly, it says that someone known as Battlegod had left behind his legacy hoping that it would be inherited by someone worthy. After that, rifts began to appear in multiple locations. This Battlegod Token is the ticket. However, there's a bunch of them, roughly five thousand being dispersed."

"How much did you pay for this?" Qin Feng asked.

Xue Xingfu replied, "Ten million."

Even Xue Xingfu had misjudged the value of this token.

"Did I spend too much?" Xue Xingfu asked carefully. Though the Battlegod Tomb showed a lot of promise, nobody knew what was exactly in it. Besides, since there were so many tokens distributed, Xue Xingfu was concerned that this might be a fraud.

"Not at all. Give this to Zhou Hao." Qin Feng said.

Xue Xingfu was stunned. He then asked, "What about you?"

"Me? Well, I am going to rob it from someone, of course." Qin Feng smirked.

Xue Xingfu was almost choked by his own saliva.

Robbing was something only those from the Dark Coalition would do. How could Qin Feng say this out loud in broad daylight?

"Please remember you are the leader of Fengli!" Xue Xingfu reminded him.

Qin Feng replied, "Don't worry. I am going to rob none other than those from the Dark Coalition."

"This… I bet it's not going to be easy. If ten million is not considered a lot, then I can bring in a few more. That way, we can send out more people from our colony as well. What do you think?"

"Don't bother. Even if they obtain the inheritance, they have little chance of coming back out alive." Qin Feng was well aware of how dangerous the tomb could be.

The source of danger did not come from beasts but other human beings.

There were five thousand tokens out there now. Soon, a lot of powerhouses would learn about the value of this other-wordly powerful tomb.

Hence, not only would the value of the token be getting higher and higher in the future, the people that enter the tomb later would also become stronger and stronger.

There were two criteria to enter the tomb.

First, the person must be aged twenty or below.

Second, his or her inner power must be able to form a cloud, which meant that the person had to be at least an F-tier ancient warrior.

Not that they could find another person matching the above criteria in the colony. Even if there was one, the addition of one or two persons made no difference in the face of five thousand competitors.

This would be a fierce contention and Qin Feng expected to see a lot of blood.

Zhou Hao was strong enough and he could definitely survive the tomb with Xiao Huang's aid. Others might not be as lucky.

Thus, Qin Feng decided to give this opportunity only to Zhou Hao.

"If you say so…" Xue Xingfu gave up on the idea.

"By the way, have you collected the beast king cores as I have requested?" Qin Feng asked.

"I have amassed thirty of them at the cost of twenty billion." Money could buy you anything in this world. Even the precious beast king cores that were put on sale in the black market.

Xue Xingfu had anonymously gathered multiple cores during Qin Feng's long absence.

"Good. Bring them to me."

"Noted."

Xue Xingfu had no idea what Qin Feng used the cores for but he mourned the lavish spending. He did not stay for long after passing the cores to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng gave all the cores to Bai Li. He then called Zhou Hao to meet him in the hall.

Zhou Hao had been training intensively recently and his strength had increased rapidly. Currently, he was an F4-tier aptitude user.

Though his improvement was not as rapid as Qin Feng, he was still evolving at an unbelievable rate. This was all thanks to the Golden Queen Ant.

"Take this and depart to Niumeng immediately. But don't enter the city first," Qin Feng instructed him about the Battlegod Tomb.

"How about you? You fit the criteria as well. Why don't you go by yourself? Judging by your power now, you could get the inheritance with ease. I don't need you to make way for me," Zhou Hao said.

Qin Feng stopped Zhou Hao's hand that was about to reject the token and explained, "I will get my own token. But I am probably going to join with a hidden identity."

Zhou Hao, who was puzzled, asked, "Why a hidden identity?"

"Xiao Bai is going to follow me. But she wouldn't get past the entrance in human form. Besides, I should not be going there with my current status as a mayor. Besides, the competition would be tough this time. If I am to kill those influential people in there, things would turn real chaotic."

Zhou Hao was baffled. "Influential people?"

"Yeah. Such as descendants of various famous families, or even people from Dragon City!" Qin Feng answered.

Zhou Hao finally understood what Qin Feng meant. "I get it now. Please be careful out there."

"Don't worry. When you see me, just pretend that we are strangers," Qin Feng said.

"Noted!"

Zhou Hao left with the Battlegod Token after they were done talking.

Niumeng was rather far from Fengli. It would take days to reach so one would need to depart earlier.

However, Qin Feng did not move.

Not only that but a lot of people had seen Qin Feng inspecting Fengli's ongoing development.

From Wanzong's branch, the underground market, to the establishment of the orphanage and defense system, Qin Feng had gone through each of them.

His final inspection was the factory, where Liu Zhenshan was in charge.

After relocating to Fengli from Han Town, Liu Zhenshan had been working behind the scenes all this while. This was because Qin Feng was simply too capable and had brought home numerous materials all the time. If they were to rely on others to process the materials or just sell the raw materials, it would assuredly not bring the biggest profit to Fengli.

As such, Liu Zhenshan was elected the head of research and development. They set up a factory and focused on how to produce equipment from raw materials.

Self-sustenance was their ultimate aim. Qin Feng did not want other powers to hold onto industries essential to Fengli.

As the materials brought back by Qin Feng were usually of good quality, most equipment forged by Liu Zhenshan was E-tier.

He was confused by Qin Feng's order a few days ago but he had finished the task without any questions asked.

Inside the office, there were only Liu Zhenshan, Qin Feng, and Bai Li. The workers did not suspect a thing.

"Mayor, I have forged the items as you have requested."

As he spoke, Liu Zhenshan brought out a case and opened it.

In there laid a silver battle suit, a pair of daggers, and a white mask.

"These are all made with F-tier beast king materials. The outcome is better than expected. There's this cape which is made from Darknight Bat. I purposely removed the glow on it so the user could blend in with the darkness."

"These two daggers are made from the F7-tier beast king Black Mantis's blades."

"This mask is made from a special material that could block out consciousness and is anti-venom. It also boosts the wearer's senses!"

Liu Zhenshan introduced the equipment one by one.

[1] The chinese word is 武 (Wu), which carries a lot of meaning such as wushu (武术, martial art), kungfu (武功 / 功夫) or battle (武斗). The tomb belongs to 武神, which is directly translated as God of Wu. In this context, Battlegod is used instead of God of Wu as it would be more intuitive to English readers.

Chapter 272: Spatial Passage

The set of equipment had been previously made by Liu Zhenshan under Qin Feng's instructions. Not only that, the boots even contained everything he would need and were five centimeters higher.

Such an outfit was obviously meant for moving around cloak and dagger so he could hide his identity!

"Test it to see if it works!"

"Well done, this is very well done Uncle Liu, but you need to keep this secret!"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything!" Liu Zhenshan did not even ask what Qin Feng wanted to do with them.

Qin Feng put the equipment inside his spatial rune equipment and swaggered around the factory as he toured the interior.

There was only a few days left before the Battlegod Tomb would open; even if he could fly he would not reach in time.

Xue Xingfu had his doubts but he kept his thoughts to himself.

That night, the moment Qin Feng put on that combat uniform and put on a mask. It was as if he had turned into an entirely different person.

After he had gained the Magical Tesseract, Qin Feng no longer needed the combat uniforms that Liu Zhenshan could provide but the tesseract did not retain the silver glow from man-made objects.

Normally, it would be easy to recognize Qin Feng but now it was actually even easier!

"Xiao Bai, I'm afraid this is going to be inconvenient for you!" Qin Feng said.

"No worries! In fact I can maintain whatever form I want!" Bai Li was originally a beast-type, maintaining a body shape was something she could easily do.

However, she felt that it was easier to be around Qin Feng in her human form. After all, the human shape could be adorned with plenty of beautiful clothes so Bai Li was quite reluctant about the idea. However, she also knew that Qin Feng was going to go on a bloody rampage inside the Battlegod Tomb and she could not be exposed, the best way was that she maintained her ultra beast form.

Of course, she did not need to do it immediately.

"I'm about to start!" Bai Li said.

Qin Feng nodded. "Begin!"

It was already too late to go to Niumeng City by car, but Qin Feng had an even better idea.

Naturally, that would be spatial transmission. Bai Li's spatial transmission could be used so long as there was a spatial waymark, allowing back and forth travel being two distances with no problems.

However, she had mild difficulty for places she had not been to, because she could not pinpoint the location. Even when Qin Feng had provided a token, there would still be some issues.

Bai Li raised her fingers and her palms began to glow with a silver light, something he had seen before while on that Drakocroc Island.

The silver light lingered in the air before rotating and expanding into a spatial passage. The disc was about two meters tall and had a dark void forming inside it.

Once the void connection was formed, the spatial waymark was established.

"Lets go!" Bai Li grabbed Qin Feng's hand and immediately jumped into the spatial passage.

Even if it was just for a moment, it still felt like an eternity. When Qin Feng's vision returned, he found himself floating in mid air.

There was no footing to be found beneath him either.

It was a good thing that he had already prepared himself, pushing a button to unfurl the glider wings on his back

Swish!

When the glider wings opened up behind him, he pulled Bai Li closer and put an arm around her slender waist as the two slowly glided toward the ground.

Fortunately, they had appeared about twenty meters above ground and quickly landed. There was a brief chance that they would have actually appeared closer to the ground, which would have promptly caused a miserable landing.

Once they found solid ground, Qin Feng retracted the gliding wings and at the same time, put on the cloak that Liu Zhenshan had given his outfit. Bai Li also began to undergo transformation.

Her body gradually began to shift as her clothes dissipated and were automatically stored in her space, the silver light shrouding her, ensuring her modesty as her silhouette suddenly grew to up to two stories tall in the blink of an eye.

She was about five meters long with a body covered in snow white fur that appeared cloak-like under the moonlight. Her eyes bore a silver glint and had long eyelashes. Behind her were three fluffy and soft-looking tails, moving with flexibility through the air which seemed quite comfortable.

At this point, Qin Feng had to look up to see Bai Li's face. Who was to say that Bai Li was just a child, she was all grown up!

The fox held her head high in the moonlight, bearing a prideful and beautiful visage.

Soon, she began to rapidly shrink and in the blink of an eye she had shrunk into a size where she was about the size of both Qin Feng's palms with her three fluffy tails half the size of her body. Now she looked small and adorable!

Bai Li hopped onto Qin Feng with an energetic bounce. "Lets go!"

Qin Feng gave her a pat on the head before taking out his communicator and synchronizing his location. He was only about three hours away from Niumeng City, near a small colony near Hanchuankou. At this rate, it seemed that he was going to reach the city before Zhou Hao.

That was where Qin Feng wanted to go. In his previous life, when the news of the tomb surfaced, ancient warriors came from all directions. There were even some ancient warrior families that had sent their young ones over.

Among the ancient warriors, they all had their own distinguishing capabilities, but there was an ancient warrior that practiced a blood-based martial method passing through Hanchuankou.

Nowadays, people called them dark ancient warriors.

Qin Feng did not come here to do good deeds, he came to kill people and collect loot. The person he wanted to kill was the child of this family of ancient warriors, Xue Yuan!

The *Xue family was without a doubt a well-known family among ancient warriors! This name was not a standard family name, but instead it came from a title given after the end times. After generations of using this title, they naturally adopted the name as their family name.

The ancient warrior family was powerful enough to be compared to the organizations, in fact they were quite effective businesspeople.

Killing their heir was just asking for trouble, that was why Qin Feng had to hide his identity. He wanted to kill more than just that one!

Whoever wanted to gain the inheritance from the Battlegod's Tomb would be met with hostility. They were all enemies!

Qin Feng quickly took advantage of the night and approached Hanchuankou.

The city gate was already closed. When Qin Feng arrived, the guard on his night shift quickly locked onto the mysterious shape clad in a dark cloak but did not dare stop him. When he caught a glimpse of silver under that cloak, he swallowed hard.

Creak!

A small door near the side of the city gate opened up!

"Sir, this way please, please!" The guard quickly got out of the way after that.

"Hmm," Qin Feng deliberately lowered the pitch of his voice when he responded and walked into the colony.

The colony of Hanchuankou was not very big, cramped but well-equipped. In fact, it was like Chengbei in a lot of ways.

He eventually found the most luxurious hotel to stay in and only came out when it was noon the very next day.

"Beep beep!"

An emergency signal rang out from Qin Feng's communicator. It was the regional news.

"Attention all aptitude users, a beast wave is occurring 20km away from Hanchuankou's north wall. Please come and provide your support at the front. This is an emergency battle and there will be merit rewards. Hurry to the colony bus to be taken to the battle site."

Spring was the peak of small-scale beast waves, they were not like sea beast tides, these things happened everywhere.

Qin Feng did not think too much about it and rushed to the departure area.

Translator's Note: The character has the Chinese word for 'blood' (血) in their name, not to be confused with a similar sounding word which means 'snow' (雪)

Chapter 273: Xue Yuan

The moment Qin Feng stepped onto the bus, the screen on it began to provide updates, greeting people with scenes that were being captured by drones.

The range of this beast wave was not that wide, it mostly consisted of G-tier ultra beasts. After all, this was a safe colony and the level of ultra beasts nearby was not usually very high. However, there was a beast king among that large number of ultra beasts.

That was why there was an emergency broadcast for all the capable aptitude users in the colony. The F-tier aptitude users who heard this that felt like they had the power to do something decided to participate in a heartbeat.

A beast king. How rare of a sight!

The bus was not even full yet, there were only a few dozen passengers, but the driver could not wait any longer! He put the pedal to the metal, speeding down the street to the point where the partols had to block the roads so that the bus could pass.

In less than fifteen minutes, they had already left Hanchuankou and were wildly driving into the wilderness. In about ten minutes, the passengers heard gunshots from the aptitude users that were fighting back as they retreated.

By now, the ultra beasts had made it close to the agricultural zone. There were small defensive outposts near the area that could be bolstered.

Qin Feng and the rest quickly got off the bus and saw just what they were up against.

"It's a wolf pack!"

"Pale Wolf beast general, that white one, that white one must be the beast king!"

"Holy shit!"

"Are there any F-tier that can block that?"

The people briefly argued noisily amongst themselves but they were quick to join the battle. They were afraid of how dense the wolf pack was but they could not back out now, also going with the tactical retreat.

Soon, F-tier aptitude users arrived and it was not just one of them.

There were two of them that came in on patrol cars, they were dressed in special patrol uniforms of the Hanchuankou colony. They were obviously squad leaders!

"Leave the beast king to us, you lot handle the rest!" One of the squad leaders commanded while raising a hand and shot out a beam of light.

It was purple!

He appeared to be an electric ability user. The beam of lightning rushed out to meet the Pale Wolf King in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

The figure of the Pale Wolf King dodged away from the attack, but the other ultra beasts that did not move as quickly dropped to the ground from the electrical attack.

"Hurry up and help me deal with this a*shole!" The electric ability user called out.

"Leave it to me!" Another person said, rushing forward and plowing through the G-tier wolves that were no match against him.

F6-tier ancient warrior.

These G-tier ultra beasts were too easy to kill.

Moving quickly, the ancient warrior slammed a palm into the beast king, intercepting his opponent's attack on the ability user who continued to unleash his power at the ultra beast.

The battle was fought in a dazzling manner.

Qin Feng did not want to intervene, if he did anything he would have been exposed as a D-tier aptitude user.

Fortunately, he did not need to wait too long. Another bus had arrived to drop off its passenger.

A young man with fiery red hair jumped right out of the vehicle. From the first glance, he did not look any younger than seventeen years old and wore an F5-tier aptitude user badge on his chest.

It was Xue Yuan!

Qin Feng was not too far away from him. At this time, the other party had just gotten out of their bus, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the beast king.

"Now that's quite the prize!" He said to himself, rushing forward into the fray.

Xue Yuan's F7 martial prowess was obviously powerful.

"Sanguine Arts!"

Xue Yuan raised his hand before slamming his palm into the Pale Wolf's back. There was no crack that came from the Pale Wolf King's spine being broken, instead the attack left behind a bloody handprint where it landed.

Then the Pale Wolf King's waist began to droop, as if it had no bones to support it there.

This was the power of the Sanguine Palm.

"Awooo!" The Pale Wolf King let out a pained howl.

Xue Yuan raised his hand again, slamming his palm directly onto the top of the beast king's head.

Crack!

The bloody palm was extremely powerful. One moment, a blood-red palm print appeared, and in the next, the Pale Wolf King was dead on the ground bleeding from its eyes and nose as its aura disappeared.

The Pale Wolf King had been slain.

The ability user and the ancient warrior from the patrol team were quite shocked when they saw this, looking at Xue Yuan with a trace of awe.

"Thanks for your help, bro!" The ancient warrior said with a smile.

Xue Yuan ignored the man, reaching out with a hand like no one else's into the Pale Wolf King's chest cavity. As the hand pierced into the flesh, it made a mess and coated the arm in a layer of blood.

Soon, the Pale Wolf King's energy crystal core was ripped out and placed into his spatial rune equipment.

That made the patrol team members stop in their tracks.

"Bro, we spent a long time fighting that Pale Wolf King. You killed it in the end, but shouldn't we be splitting the spoils? Don't you think it's a bit rude to be behaving like this?"

Xue Yuan revealed a dagger in his hand that was shaped similar to that of a scalpel, designed to harvest materials.

He glared at the ancient warrior before smirking. "You're both trash and you want me to share the spoils with you?"

The man starred furiously at Xue Yuan.

"What did you say, kid?" The man was a rank higher than Xue Yuan and believed that Xue Yuan was about as young as he looked. That did not stop him from having the desire to teach the little punk a lesson.

"Do you know whose territory this is? You can't just do whatever you want here, be sensible and take those out before you humiliate yourself, bro!"

"Humiliate myself?" Xue Yuan chuckled, striking his hand out.

The attack was quite straightforward and not very fast.

The ancient warrior saw this and was a little bit nervous, he had seen what that palm could do and knew that Xue Yuan was tough but he did not want to admit it!

With his internal strength condensed in his palm, he fiercely struck out!

Slap!

Their palms collided. The smirk lingered on Xue Yuan's face, and the strangest thing was that his eyes began to turn blood-red.

The ancient warrior suddenly let out a scream.

His entire palm, including his bones, had melted. His meridians had been scoured and the flesh now a bloody pulp. In the blink of an eye, his hand had melted into a stump.

Even though he had destroyed his opponent's hand, Xue Yuan did not plan on sparing him so easily.

"I didn't get to practice some blood sucking today, good thing there's plenty of people here so come at me!"

Xue Yuan once more raised his hand, bringing it down toward the top of the ancient warrior's skull.

It was at this moment that another figure suddenly appeared.

A black cloak, under the cloak was a combat uniform that glowed with silver light, and even a fleeting glance made it known that it was made out of beast king materials.

A pair of black daggers jumped out from under the cloak and cut at Xue Yuan's neck.

This person was Qin Feng!

"Ah!" Xue Yuan croaked but quickly changed his stance as a blood-red light condensed in his hand and shot out toward Qin Feng.

However, the condensed internal force blast was blocked by a wave of internal power. Qin Feng's internal force was huge, how could he have been hit by the other's blood colored internal force.

Not giving the other another chance to fight back, Qin Feng relied on his tough physique and speed to pierce through Xue Yuan's chest with a dagger.

"Pff!"

A soft sound was heard as Xue Yuan stopped moving, he looked down at the dagger that was stuck inside his chest with disbelief.

It hit something vital, there was no doubt that he was going to die!

Chapter 274: A Generation of Monsters Damned to Die In the Wilderness

Xue Yuan could hardly believe it.

He was his family's most talented user, and had already laid a foundation even before he awakened his ancient martial arts. He could kill people when he was ten, and by the time he was nineteen he had already mastered the Sanguine Arts and even the Sanguine Palm. He did not expect that he would die. Especially not today, not at the hands of some unknown person in a weak little colony.

Xue Yuan's eyes carried a loathing stare.

"Who, Who are… ngh…" Blood began to pour out of his mouth. When he grabbed Qin Feng's wrist, he was unable to muster any internal force.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Qin Feng absorbed all of Xue Yuan's internal force. Although there was not much in an F-tier aptitude user, it was better than nothing and could not be wasted.

By then, Xue Yuan had completely lost the capability to fight back.

"You want to know who I am? How could you remember your enemy after killing so many people?" Qin Feng replied in a hoarse voice. In his mind, he was starting to recall a memory before his rebirth.

Back then, Qin Feng had reached the age of nineteen and it was the third year since he had been injected by the Awakening Serum. After a lot of battles, he traveled extensively and eventually reached E-tier.

It could be said that he had already left the shadow of that laboratory by that time, having gained a few close friends who had even agreed to reach D-tier and go to the front together.

As a result, they encountered Xue Yuan during a logistical escort mission and it ended up with the entire platoon of three hundred people, people who he had fought alongside with, to all die tragically!

Qin Feng too was hit square in the chest by that palm attack, the only thing he could have done then was breathe.

Too many people died during that battle, and even with one tenth of the absorption ability remaining, the number of deaths around him managed to preserve his life, saving him from death.

Bearing the loss of three hundred people he used to know almost broke him.

Xue Yuan, that was a name in his turbulent life that he would never forget. A name that he wanted to set aflame and grind to dust.

He had no way of revenge before his rebirth.

Xue Yuan advanced too quickly, by the time Qin Feng reached A-tier, Xue Yuan was also A-tier and always stronger than him. Just like Liu Meng with his Asteroid Assimilation, he was a heinous devil.

If the two really fought, it would be Qin Feng who would wind up dead.

Now, it was completely different!

Xue Yuan had not risen yet, and as for the rest of the Xue Family, Qin Feng was not afraid of them!

Today was the day that he turned things around. His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty, murderous intent but it was covered up by his mask, making it impossible to distinguish his emotions.

Soon after, Xue Yuan had all of his internal force taken away, and with his heart pierced, the hand that was gripping Qin Feng's wrist finally fell.

Qin Feng drew out the dagger along with a spurt of blood.

Xue Yuan's body collapsed to the ground after no longer having support. This all happened within a short span of time.

Nobody could react at all.

At this moment, a loud shout came through. "Cease!"

Near the beast wave, a giant tree branch was knocked down and the suppressing aura of an E-tier ancient warrior began to roll over the entire field.

It was not just the aptitude users but the entire beast wave of Pale Wolves began to flee with their tails between their legs.

The beast king was dead, the smaller wolves could not maintain their rank and file, and they began to break apart but nobody cheered at this scene.

All because of the ancient warrior that had suddenly appeared!

E-tier.

For the aptitude users of Hanchuankou, that was the level of generals and mayors. Such presence always left people in awe.

Now, this person was angry, would it not mean that more blood would stain the ground?

The ancient warrior rushed forward with incredible speed, closing the distance within four to five seconds.

"Young Master!"

The man cradled Xue Yuan, eyes widening at the realization that the wound in his chest would not stop bleeding and that his aura had disappeared.

He was dead!

Even if there was any sort of divine intervention there was no way to save him!

"You!" The man lifted his head, staring daggers at Qin Feng.

The people around them finally saw this man's face. He looked to be in his fifties, had the strength of an E5-tier ancient warrior, and had a sinister expression on his face that was only emphasized by the scar that traveled down from his cheek to his neck!

This person's appearance made the onlookers stare blankly for a moment.

"Beep beep beep!"

Those nearby did a scan with their communicators and soon found out who they were looking at!

"He's a lackey from the Xue family!"

"The Asura Palm, Zhang Wen!"

"A wanted E-tier criminal!"

Everyone was suddenly more afraid, which was crippling under the effects of this menacing aura. A few began to slowly back away with difficulty and some even wanted to crawl away.

Zhang Wen was definitely someone who would kill a man without so much as batting an eye. What was more, the man had just called the recently deceased 'Young Master', which made them change their view on things.

"The dead guy's from the Xue family!"

"Wait, the Xue family's young master died near us?"

"He's gonna kill us, isn't he?"

That was very possible. Those with dark influences, even when they had only lost one member, would go out on rampages to eradicate whole families and wipe out entire bases just to get revenge.

Those in the field were no match against Zhang Wen. They glared at Qin Feng's back, all blaming this stranger for being the cause of their troubles.

"Lad, you're going to die today. No, I'm not just going to kill you, I'm going to make you beg me to put you down!" Zhang Wen roared. He was in charge of bringing the young master to the Tomb and because he was wanted as a criminal he could not be near Xue Yuan.

Not only that, Xue Yuan had enough strength that even an F9-tier aptitude user could not face him, but this random stranger had just appeared out of nowhere and killed him with a simple dagger stab.

If he did not capture Qin Feng, he was going to have a hard time explaining this to his bosses. No, even if he did capture Qin Feng, he was still going to get in trouble! This made Zhang Wen hate Qin Feng even more, he wanted to tear this person into pieces!

"Me, die? It won't necessarily be me who's dying today. Since you're on the side of an evil-doer, you must not be a good person. If that's the case you'll die too!" Qin Feng said, suddenly approaching as dark runes began to envelop him.

"Phantom Steps!"

Qin Feng shifted, afterimages appearing where he once stood. He was like a ghost, briefly revealing his murderous intent as he rushed toward Zhang Wen.

"You got guts!" Zhang Wen was furious, raising his hand to try and slap Qin Feng. "Sanguine Palm!"

While Zhang Wen was only a servant of the Xue family and the moves that he was taught were not as powerful as Xue Yuan's moves, he had a powerful internal force and his Sanguine Palm brought with it a gust of bloody rain.

There were countless souls that had been bloodied by his hands. The giant palm print began to approach Qin Feng.

Qin Feng did not face it head on, choosing to avoid it. He was extra nimble with Phantom Motion Steps activated. He did not want to use the move before because he was afraid that people might notice the dark runes, but now he did not care, his body was almost entirely shrouded in black mist.

His movements were very familiar to the eyes but nobody would suspect that he was the illustrious mayor of Fengli, after all, the Spectre Motion Steps was a very common move among ancient warriors.

Since he used those moves so well, it seemed quite out of the ordinary. With a stagger, he had already flanked Zhang Wen before bringing his daggers toward his opponent's waist at an awkward angle.

Too fast!

Zhang Wen was surprised! He would have definitely been stabbed at such speed but he steeled himself, preparing to take the blow from Qin Feng.

He swung his hand, wanting to trade a blow for a blow!

Chapter 275: Disposing Corpses

In Zhang Wen's eyes, since Qin Feng had killed Xue Yuan, he probably was not that strong. After all, the people who were strong usually found it disdainful to kill someone lower-level than they were, and even if they were strong, they were not Zhang Wen's match.

He knew all the E-tier aptitude users in the Four Cities of the North Seas, and it was impossible for a strong user who was using the Spectre Motion Steps to have made an appearance.

After such an analysis, Zhang Wen subconsciously felt that Qin Feng did not have any power. Maybe that internal force in those daggers would not be able to pierce through his defense!

Zhang Wen ferociously struck out another palm attack, trying to hit Qin Feng with it.

Only to have it blocked by Qin Feng's raised arm.

"Pfft!"

The dagger in his right hand managed to pierce Zhang Wen's waist, not only that, the left arm that had blocked his attack came toward him in a vicious strike.

Zhang Wen's eyes widened, stiffening his legs and leaning back as far as he could in order to avoid the blow.[1]

Otherwise, that hit would have slashed through his throat!

He did not expect his opponent to be so fierce!

Not only that, his waist was not as invincible as he had thought. The E-tier purple armor was damaged, a powerful internal force was wrapped around the dagger as it was violently jammed into him.

Serious damage!

"Huh?" Zhang Wen uttered before rapidly backing away.

However, his retreat opened up a large wound. If it were not for the function of the rune equipment and his protective layer, Zhang Wen would have been split open and his intestines would be spilling out.

His internal force worked quickly to cover the wound as he pulled out a packet of medicine to apply on his injury.

Zhang Wen had a look of uncertainty on his face, staring at Qin Feng with suspicion and anger.

"Who are you?"

Qin Feng's power was beyond his expectations. The time he struck Qin Feng with his Sanguine Palm, he felt the vibration of his opponent's internal force barrier.

This trick had no effect on Qin Feng!

"It doesn't matter who I am," Qin Feng said indifferently, he knew that Zhang Wen had clearly seen the strength of his inner force!

Then again, why would that matter?

"Because you're going to die today!"

Qin Feng was not the type to gloat or explain himself, lest the other party dies with their question answered. It was best if they died entirely in the dark!

He did not speak any more and once again activated his Phantom Motion Steps. This time there was heavy use of dark runes as Qin Feng's form split into countless shadows, his actual form unable to be picked out from among them.

This attack was also very fast! Zhang Wen tried to use his hands to defend against Qin Feng's assault but his efforts were fruitless.

Swish!

Swish swish swish!

Wounds appeared on Zhang Wen's body, his protective inner armor having been broken. It seemed that its defensive force did little to block Qin Feng's daggers.

Although Qin Feng was wearing F-tier gear to cover up his identity, his daggers were E-tier king grade.

No matter how good Zhang Wen's treatment was in the Xue household, he would still have never gotten the chance to use rune equipment made out of E-tier beast king materials.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make me suffer before? How do you like this now?" Qin Feng said, remembering the aftermath of the escort caravan after Xue Yuan's rampage.

His opponent struck a palm out, but instead of killing him, Qin Feng drew more blood in order to diminish his opponent's power!

Qin Feng's pupils began to turn blood-red.

"Aaah!!!" Zhang Wen screamed, surging all of his internal force as if trying to repel Qin Feng, but all was in vain.

At this point, Qin Feng felt something move around in front of his chest. He then realized it was Bai Li. She was still nestled in a pocket, Zhang Wen's screams might awaken her!

That snapped him back to his senses. With this kind of torture, even his mentality had changed.

He did not continue, planting a palm on Zhang Wen's abdomen.

"Activate, Asteroid Assimilation!"

The vigorous internal force was immediately drawn away, Zhang Wen could not react at all this time. He had been hit and was involuntarily twitching all over as his internal force left him like water from a broken dam. If this continued on, even without Qin Feng doing anything else, he would still surely die!

However, Qin Feng did not bother waiting, bringing the daggers down on Zhang Wen's head without hesitation.

Swish!

The head bounced up into the air for a moment before falling down onto the ground.

Zhang Wen had been slain!

An E-tier aptitude user, having been so easily killed, shocked the aptitude users who had not run away.

They were deadly quiet, afraid to make a sound.

Qin Feng went on without stopping, picking up spatial rune equipment from Zhang Wen's body. He used his consciousness to sweep through it but it was just some items like an expanded edition of martial arts studies and some powdered medicine. He casually stuffed that into the rune equipment in his pocket and picked up Zhang Wen's head!

This head was also worth 300 million!

After that, he went to search Xue Yuan's body and found his spatial rune equipment. After a quick check with his consciousness, he found what he wanted!

A Battlegod token!

Of course there were also many spirit herbs, ancient martial arts manuals, ultra beast materials and so on.

Xue Yuan was much richer than Zhang Wen was. Qin Feng did not hesitate and pocketed that as well before starting to leave.

The ancient warrior from the patrol team came over, hurriedly shouting, "Sir. This…This…"

He could not find any words. That was what fear looked like!

Qin Feng deliberately replied in a baritone voice, "What? You want some beast king materials?"

The man's face twitched, and he quickly said, "Sir, how could you still be thinking that at a time like this? Do you know who they were?"

Qin Feng nodded. "If I didn't know, I wouldn't have killed them."

The man was speechless, but that left his mouth full of bitterness!

Qin Feng knew, and even though he knew he still went on and killed his opponent. That was a lot of gall.

Of course, the power that he had was something they did not!

"Sir, the Xue family is an infamous dark ancient warrior family within the Four Cities. We can't afford this kind of trouble!"

Qin Feng chuckled. "If it weren't for me, you'd be dead. Are you saying that I shouldn't be nosy, that I shouldn't have tried to help you?"

The patrolman trembled, unwilling to say anything else. The electric ability user from before stepped up, respectfully speaking to Qin Feng. "Sir, the events today have been settled conclusively, please protect us for a while. We… we don't want to die!"

Qin Feng immediately refused. "I don't have that obligation. If you value your lives then you'll pretend this never happened."

He grabbed Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen's bodies and tossed them into the distance. There were still a few Pale Wolves that had not fled, and they saw food appear out of thin air, blood freshly flowing from their wounds. They exposed their fangs and rushed forward to tear into them.

Within a few minutes, the two bodies were eaten by the wolves and there was nothing left!

[1] This is roughly translated from a martial arts move called 铁板桥, which means 'Iron Bridge' as the user needs to stabilize himself before doing the move that involves straightening his back. Think that bullet time scene from the Matrix for a proper visual

Chapter 276: Bloodhunter

It was said that whatever a person did no longer mattered after their passing, as such further harm should not be done to the body. Unexpectedly, Qin Feng decided to literally throw Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen's bodies to the wolves. There was not even a body left to bury.

The onlookers were taken aback, fearing Qin Feng even more. They believed that he was not a good person either, maybe he was also a wanted criminal and what they saw was a villain dealing with another.

The two from the patrol team did not have anything else to say!

Qin Feng decided to ignore them. These people died in the hands of Xue Yuan before Qin Feng's rebirth.

Now, he had changed their destiny. That was the greatest gift he could have given them so he did not think that he owed them anything. As for whether or not they would be implicated by the Xue family's rage, he would think not. After all, he planned to provoke the Xue family into a greater rage!

After he threw away the corpses, he took the vehicle that helped the wounded back to Hanchuankou colony.

Among the wounded in the vehicle was the F-tier ancient warrior who got his hand dissolved into a bloody sludge, he did not dare say anything.

When he arrived at Hanchuankou, Qin Feng searched for the bounty hunter's hall with his communicator and got off the vehicle when he was nearby.

Those within the hall watched him vigilantly as he entered, to them he had a strange figure.

"Sir, how may we help you?" The staff member at the counter asked.

"Submitting a wanted person."

Qin Feng threw Zhang Wen's head onto the counter.

The person did not ask many questions and immediately scanned the head for information before being taken aback by surprise.

Zhang Wen! Such a person was killed?

The death did not mean anything, although it was surprising enough. Just like the uproar that Qin Feng caused when he turned in She-Wolf.

As for Zhang Wen's origin, that had caused a few headaches! This was one of the Xue family's people!

Before you hit the dog you need to know who their master was first! There were consequences to these actions!

The staff member swallowed hard.

"Hurry up. I want the money!" Qin Feng urged in a horse voice.

"Yes, yes Sir. Please provide your communication number and bounty hunter status!"

Qin Feng provided his number, but his identity was blank and he had not registered.

"Sir, would you like to register as a hunter in our bounty hunter network? Please enter your hunter name and strength and we will automatically create a file for you!"

Qin Feng said in his baritone, "Call me Bloodhunter!"

Bloodhunter, someone who hunts down those from the Xue family!*

That kind of name was way too specific!

The staff member did not dare make any comments and the direct application was approved. At the same time, Zhang Wen's 300 million bounty was directly transferred to Qin Feng's new communication number.

On the Bounty Hunter Network, Zhang Wen's number was now marked as 'complete' and the person who completed this was naturally Qin Feng's new name, 'Bloodhunter'.

Not only that, the network could be used to communicate with other bounty hunters and powerful hunters could accept assigned tasks so long as they could accept the price and provide accurate information.

That was why the network's site had an interactive platform that allowed it to broadcast news.

Qin Feng immediately uploaded a picture of Zhang Wen's head and sent out a small paragraph of text.

"Zhang Wen? How so?!"

He smiled coldly under his mask and left the bounty hunter hall. He then went to the largest car exhibition in Hanchuankou and happily looked at the displays.

Meanwhile, on the west side of Niumeng City, among the rolling hills, laid an elegant looking village.

Those that did not know the truth would have thought it was paradise. It was actually the Xue family's home base.

It had an out-of-time quality to it, as if it had captured the essence of the world thousands of years ago and preserved it there. With blue bricks and black tiles, all the houses were built close to the ground with jade carvings laid upon them as beautiful decorations.

While the exterior's aesthetic was antique, the interior was very luxurious and there were electronic products left and right.

Around this time, everyone in the Xue household's communicators flashed blood-red as a beeping sound was heard.

Their faces fell when they looked at their communicators.

"The son of the seventh generation, Xue Yuan, has been slain!"

"Attendant, Zhang Wen, has been slain!"

Everyone was shocked by the news. This message was naturally based on the pulse of Xue Yuan's hand that wore the communicator. If the communicator was lost or damaged, it would be impossible to send this message.

This would have only been sent if he really did lose his life.

Xue Yuan's father was the first one to go mad.

"How is this possible? Xiao Yuan was only gone for two days, how could he have died? This must be a malfunction! And Zhang Wen, where is he? Piece of trash!"

Xue Linhan roared.

The Xue family was an ancient martial arts family, and perhaps it could be considered to be in its late degenerate stage as it could no longer live in seclusion.

But they were definitely part of the top ones among the Four Cities of the North Sea. The families in Chengyang might seem very bullish or overbearing, but when compared to the Xue family they might as well be on their knees!

The old patriarch of the Xue family was still on his retreat and was a C-tier ancient warrior. Now, the acting patriarch was a D-tier ancient warrior and one of the Xue family's elders. The other elders were also D-tier as well, having exactly seven of them.

Seven D-tiers, there were not that many in the Three Cities along the Sun and this was just a small family, which showed how powerful the family was!

Of course, Xue Linhan was not an elder and was of the sixth generation. He was still strong but the family's resources were inclined toward the younger generation and a person's aptitude was limited. Once you have reached middle age, it was harder to go forward.

Especially for ancient warriors!

Some people would never touch the edge of D-tier for an entire lifetime.

Xue Linhan was at E8-tier, and it would take him about five to six years before he could reach D-tier! However, what made him proud was his genius son.

Someone with natural talent, and would soon surpass him. Who could have known that a trip to the Battlegod Tomb, along with a bodyguard no less, would have ended up in such a tragedy?

"Thirteenth Elder, please don't get angry!"

A servant looked at Xue Linhan's fit of anger and was worried that the man would get so enraged that he would just go insane. How would Xue Linhan have listened to something like that?

"My son is gone. My son is gone, and you want me to not get angry? Leave!" Xue Linhan proceeded to backhand the servant across the cheek.

The force of an E-tier ancient warrior cracking a blow was enough to make the servant's neck make a crunching sound as it broke, sending the body tumbling into the wall. Nobody was sure if the person died on impact or before.

"Aaaah!" Xue Linhan flipped his table soon after.

The other servants were scared for their lives and could only try to avoid their master's immediate rampage. They were also terrified that Xue Linhan would kill everyone.

One brave soul peeped out from behind a fallen bookcase and meekly said, "Milord, now the most important thing is to find the murderer and avenge Young Master's death!"

After hearing these words, Xue Linhan finally regained his senses.

He quickly clicked on a video on his communicator. It was a feed from Xue Yuan's communicator and it naturally showed him the last thing his son saw before he was fatally wounded.

Qin Feng was standing directly opposite Xue Yuan, it revealed that Xue Yuan was injured as the hand that wore the communicator was grabbing Qin Feng's wrist.

Qin Feng's body could be clearly seen from the video. It was just a black cloak, a standard combat uniform and a pale mask. Even the parts where the eyes were had special lenses where the eyes could not be seen!

This kind of enemy left no clues!

Translator's Note: The translation of 'Bloodhunter' (猎血者) sticks the Chinese word for 'blood' between the Chinese words for 'Hunter'. Xuehunter just doesn't sound as cool.

Also, some life advice. Don't tell someone who's angry to calm down, that doesn't work.

Chapter 277: The D-tier Elder's Troop

Xue Linhan examined Zhang Wen's video again which showed the same automated scene over and over. Qin Feng's silhouette was faint, and he could just barely identify him as the person who had killed Xue Yuan. There was nothing much he could see in the video.

"Scum, scum, scum!"

Now with his son dead, Xue Linhan was more furious than ever.

Xue Linhan was part of the first generation of homicidal maniacs. While watching the scene, he had the urge to rush out to find the person in the video and crush him into millions of pieces.

"Thirteenth Elder, Seventh Elder wants you in the main hall!"

Xue Linhan understood that this was a message which was received by everyone. He contained his anger as he strode out.

Soon, he had arrived at a large, old house.

This main hall was also a meeting ground for the Xue family to discuss important matters.

"Here comes the Thirteenth!" All of the elders were sitting on their designated positions, and they were all in a bad mood.

Xue Yuan had a very high position in the Xue family.

He was destined to become an A-tier aptitude user in the future who could lead the Xue family out of the Four Cities of the North Sea. It was evident that he was very strong and capable, and after his awakening at the age of sixteen, he had never once disappointed the family.

He was the first generation of youth in the Xue family.

How could they not be furious when such a prodigy had been killed?

"Seventh Elder, I want to leave the village to avenge my son's death!" Xue Linhan exclaimed.

It was impossible to suppress his anger which was already at its peak.

"It's easy for you to say. Zhang Wen was quite strong as well, yet he still suffered a quick death. If you go there yourself, wouldn't that be a suicide mission too?" The Seventh Elder raged.

"Are we just going to let it go? And let Xiao Yuan die in vain?"

Xue Linhan looked at the people around him with bloodshot eyes.

Some of them were staring blankly, while others averted their gazes, not daring to meet Xue Linhan's gaze.

After all, the strength Qin Feng had displayed was not weak.

The Seventh Elder, who was now presiding over the situation, finally spoke up to appease the tension in the hall. "I didn't say that we would give up on revenge, but as a part of the Xue family, he wouldn't hesitate to kill us either!"

The Fifth Elder beside him also spoke up, "Alright, let's say we'll take revenge, do you know where this man is now?"

This time, Xue Linhan was silent. He certainly did not know where he was.

Not only that, the person who had killed Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen was in disguise, and he could easily escape just by removing the disguise!

This was clearly carefully planned out.

"Don't worry, Thirteenth!" The Fifth Elder said while waving his bony arms.

A young man from the seventh generation stepped forward and showed Xue Linhan his communicator.

"Look at this!"

Xue Linhan took one look, and his eyes flared with anger again.

"He's provoking us!"

"And he's plotting on us!" The Seventh Elder exclaimed. "He could have just walked away after killing Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen without exposing his identity, yet he went to the Bounty Hunter Network to register his identity. I'm afraid he's waiting for us to find and kill him. He's either being too overconfident or he has someone to back him up!"

Xue Linhan did not say anything but it was clear that he was not listening to whatever the Seventh Elder was saying.

So what if it were a conspiracy?

Xue Linhan was counting on his son to grow up so that he could live a good life in the future!

And now? Now, it was all over!

"I don't care if it were a conspiracy or a plot, he better not let me find out who he is or who did it. Even if he's from one of the other three ancient warrior families, if they dare to kill my son, I'll kill their children and grandchildren in the worst possible way they can ever imagine!"

There were four ancient warrior families in the Four Cities of the Northern Sea. Besides the Xue family, there were the Yang family, Tieh family and Hou family.

The Northern Sea was a place with remarkable, talented individuals, all of whom would try to conceal their true capabilities. It was a stretch for Xue Linhan to say those words.

However, their family was already involved in the Dark Coalition, and they were not surprised by Xue Linhan's words.

"I understand that, so this time, I'll go with you!" said the Fifth Elder.

The Fifth Elder was called Xue Yuheng, he was the fifth-generation disciple of the Xue family. He was already sixty-three years old, but he looked as if he was in his seventies or eighties, all because of the injuries his body had suffered in his early years.

Although weakened, he was still stronger than most people. After all, he still had the capabilities of an E-tier aptitude user. With him deployed, their plan would work much better.

Xue Linhan felt a jolt of happiness in his heart.

"Thank you, uncle. You'll help us to avenge Xiao Yuan's death!"

"Don't worry, those who provoked the Xue family will not be left alive!"

The Seventh Elder gave up in his persuasion. It seemed that their plan for revenge had been set in motion.

Soon, the Xue family had assembled their troops. With the mobilization of the D-tier ancient warriors, the troops that followed was inevitably a rather strong one. As one of the ancient warrior families, the Xue family was even more particular with their troops.

In total, there were more than twenty young warriors, all of whom were F-tier aptitude users, followed by three more E-tier aptitude users. The troops boarded seven to eight luxurious hover cars and headed toward Hanchuankou.

In fact, they already had eyes in Hanchuankou, and they even used force to pressure the colony to hand over their people to obtain information about Bloodhunter's location.

What they did not expect was that Bloodhunter had yet to leave!

Qin Feng had no intention of leaving.

He strolled through the displayed cars for two hours. Some people were even throwing strange looks at him.

These people either found Qin Feng's outfit odd, or were the ones that were ordered to spy on him.

Qin Feng did not bat an eye at them as he already had his gaze fixed on a car!

"Silver Bolt?"

The extended car body had a very comfortable interior and a very spacious rear compartment.

It was priced at 30 million!

This newly-released model had a whole bunch of functions that were highly praised by the salesman.

Having ten years of experience before his rebirth, Qin Feng knew what was best for a car, and the Silver Bolt was considered as a classic model!

"I'll take this!" Qin Feng said.

"Oh, oh yes, Sir. Please wait a moment!"

The man led Qin Feng to the checkout counter, and after making the payment, the Silver Bolt became Qin Feng's new car.

He could not bring out the Umbra Stallion or the extended version of his luxurious hover car, or else it could expose his identity.

And now, there was no need for him to worry about that anymore.

Once Qin Feng got in the car, he revved it up and drove toward the city.

At the same time, he saw many people holding up their communicators and filming his new car.

Qin Feng drove the car toward the northern city gate and Hanchuankou slowly disappeared from his view. He was driving toward the direction of the Battlegod Tomb. However, his speed was not that fast.

Half an hour later, Qin Feng saw more than ten cars speeding by in the middle of the wilderness.

There was a bloodied palm on the rear side of these cars.

These ancient warrior families would always come in groups. Each time the young members were killed, the elders would seek revenge.

It was just that Qin Feng did not know who was coming this time.

Qin Feng slowed down his car, but the cars on the other side of the road accelerated toward him. Soon, Silver Bolt was completely surrounded.

On the road, it seemed that even the ultra beasts were affected by the dense atmosphere and did not dare to appear. They had all retreated to their safe spots.

"Hmph" Qin Feng smirked as he stepped out of his car.

At the same time, the others had also stepped out of their cars, all of them surrounding the Silver Bolt.

All of them were dressed in what seemed to be unified outfits. In the cool early days of winter, the undertones of reds and blacks on their outfits glimmered and exuded dominance.

Chapter 278: A Brief Exchange of Attacks

These people who were ordered to hunt him down first were the young generation of the Xue family.

They looked at Qin Feng with a glare that was full of appraisal, scrutiny and excitement. It was as if this time they were ordered to teach him a lesson!

In fact, these young men were happy that Xue Yuan was murdered. Or else, they would never have the chance to make a debut for themselves.

Too bad this person was going to die.

As such, there was a hint of pity laced with apparent glee in their expressions!

"Just you guys?" Qin Feng lowered his tone and said in a hoarse voice.

With just a wave of his hand, he placed the Silver Bolt into the spatial rune equipment that he was carrying. There was no way he would let his newly-bought car be damaged.

Even though it was just a wave of his hand, those young men's eyes were shining with admiration.

To fit a car as large as the Silver Bolt, the spatial space must be at least twenty cubic metres.

It would require at least 100 million to possess such spatial equipment.

For these young men, that was a very high price!

Even the F-tier aptitude users were getting a bit flustered.

Creak!

The car door of the most luxurious and domineering hover car opened up, and the young men's faces were replaced with a more respectful look.

Three middle-aged men stepped out of the car, all of whom were E-tier ancient warriors.

Then, an old man alighted from the car as well!

Qin Feng's pupils narrowed behind his mask.

"I didn't think that the Xue family would actually send an elder!"

Qin Feng immediately recognized him as Xue Yuheng.

He seemed like a weak, dying old man. Before Qin Feng was reborn, he was aided by Xue Yuan to heal the injuries on his body, thus further enhancing his strength and allowing him to reach C-tier, which then helped him to make a name for himself in the Northern Sea region.

Xue Yuheng was a vicious killer, and his methods were not at all inferior to Xue Yuan's.

Or rather, there was not a single decent person in the entire Xue family.

After all, their family practiced Sanguine Palm Arts, which required fresh blood. They had massacred countless ultra beasts and were very tough. Moreover, they would abduct any ordinary civilians that they wanted.

In the eyes of this ancient warrior family that had fallen into the depths of madness, the ordinary civilians were incomparable to them. They were of a different kind, and they did not even consider these ordinary civilians as human beings.

They were considered slaves, goods and sheep to be slaughtered.

When Qin Feng thought of this, his eyes were immediately filled with murderous intent. His eyes swept through these young men one more time, it appeared that the few he had killed before his rebirth seemed to be here as well.

Now, they had finally crossed paths again!

Of course, this was yet another bloodbath, and only one person would survive in the end.

And that person would be Qin Feng.

At the same time, Xue Yuheng was also examining Qin Feng.

"How dare you lay a finger on the Xue family! Bring me the one behind all this, and I might leave your body intact!"

However, Qin Feng smiled defiantly.

"The one behind all this? I'm afraid I would have to disappoint you, I simply wanted to kill your people, and so I did!"

To Qin Feng who had gone through rebirth, there were tens and thousands of reasons for him to kill the Xue family.

It was only that in the present he had yet crossed paths with the Xue family.

But so what if that were the case?

There need not be so many reasons to kill them.

"Good, good! Boy, today I'll avenge my son's death, be prepared to die!" Xue Linhan could no longer contain his fury and was the first person to lash out. He dashed toward Qin Feng.

He was indeed stronger than Zhang Wen, but he was still too weak when compared to Qin Feng!

Now, Qin Feng was invincible even when compared with enemies of the same tier.

He had the physical strength of a beast king, and his inner cloud had reached the 35th layer through his last training.

And his strength was four times more that of Xue Linhan's!

For that, there was no way Xue Linhan could defeat Qin Feng.

In a flash, Qin Feng unleashed his internal force and made his first move.

Phantom Motion Steps!

For a moment, Qin Feng's shadow was so heavy and dense that no one could see where Qin Feng's physical body actually was.

Qin Feng infused his dagger with internal force and stabbed Xue Linhan's heart from the back.

"Scram!"

The old Xue Yuheng suddenly let out a roar and rushed forward.

With a false step, he immediately moved forward and shot out his bony arms to shield Xue Linhan from the back.

Qin Feng was at the exact same position at the same time.

He raised his arm holding the dagger and was going to chop off Xue Yuheng's arms.

Xue Yuheng changed his stance at once and slapped Qin Feng's arm with his palms.

Qin Feng retracted his arm and struck him with his elbow. He concealed the dagger and was ready to stab at any moment!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The two made quick counters.

"Ah!" Xue Yuheng screamed as Qin Feng's arm was raised and ready to strike again. While Qin Feng and Xue Yuheng were exchanging blows, Qin Feng's right arm was striking at Xue Linhan again.

Xue Yuheng interrupted his backstab once, but this time it happened right under his nose, and yet there was no way he could stop it!

"B*stard!"

Xue Yuheng was furious. His old face was trembling with anger as it made a terrifying expression.

Qin Feng was unfazed and he used Phantom Motion Steps again.

When coupled with the powerful dark rune, his Phantom Motion Step became a powerful technique.

"Damn it, this ancient warrior has enhanced his Phantom Motion Steps. He's just way too strong and his skills are just out of this world!"

"Thirteenth Elder, let me help you!"

"Watch out Fifth Uncle!"

The three remaining ancient warriors stepped into the battlefield.

"Sanguine Palm Arts!"

"Inferno Blood Secret Art!"

The four of them fought all at once!

It was difficult to fight with two fists against four hands!

"Hmph!"

Qin Feng sneered and put his hand into his pocket, and in the next moment, Qin Feng tossed out a white mass.

It was Bai Li.

Bai Li made a few tumbles in the air and landed on top of a car. Her three tails wagged and curved into flattering arcs which could capture one's heart. She was clearly a cute adorable pet.

However, everyone's gazes quickly shifted back to the battlefield.

With Bai Li now summoned, Qin Feng's attacks had become much stronger.

"Blood Transformation!" One of the E-tier aptitude users slapped Qin Feng on the chest.

Qin Feng's F-tier beast king combat suit began to emit a silvery glow, then the glow seemed to have been shattered by the solid slap attack!

A success!

A trace of joy flashed in the man's eyes, but the joy quickly turned into shock.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Qin Feng's body became a powerful vacuum with a huge suction force. The man could not move his hand after landing his palm attack on Qin Feng's chest, and he began to feel a backflow of his internal force.

Qin Feng quickly sliced and stabbed with his dagger.

Swish swish swish!

With three cuts and six stabs, the dagger had gutted the insides of the warrior's abdomen!

His intestines were all churned into mush, and the internal strength of his dantian was completely drained away!

"Argh!" The man hastily retreated, but he had been stabbed too many times in just a short amount of time, and blood was gushing out of his wounds. He then collapsed on the ground.

"Deacon Wang!"

"How is that possible!"

The Xue family was shocked and everyone was staring with terrified gazes.

In such a short battle, Qin Feng had yet to display any of his techniques. He only relied on his strong body and dense internal force, yet he still managed to cripple one of Xue Linhan's arms and had taken away the life of E-tier deacon, Wang.

With such power and strength, it was simply too overwhelming for them.

"Everyone, stand down! Retreat!"

Xue Yuheng finally noticed that something was wrong!

Although the person in front of him was only E-tier, his internal force was incredibly thick and dense. He was in no way any weaker than him.

"Looks like you came prepared!" Xue Yuheng said in a deep tone.

Qin Feng smirked. "It's never too late for a man to get his revenge, and as for the Xue family, sooner or later, your day will come!"

Before Qin Feng's rebirth, he died before he could get his revenge.

And now, it was the perfect timing for revenge!

And it was just a matter of time!

Chapter 279: The Inferno Blood Technique that Rejuvenates the Aged

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xue Yuheng's face was pale.

The Xue family had roamed the Four Cities of the Northern Sea for years, so undoubtedly they would have enemies.

They had faced a lot of enemies in the past and had even tried to eliminate them all from the roots, it was possible that they had left out a few.

Xue Yuheng did not know who Qin Feng was, and he had no intentions of getting to know him.

All he knew was that Qin Feng was their enemy!

People of the Xue family retreated after hearing Xue Yuheng's orders.

The only person who did not retreat was an E-tier deacon, and even Xue Linhan knew that Qin Feng was not a person to be messed with.

However, Qin Feng's eyes were locked onto him.

"Didn't you want to avenge your son's death? Why chicken out now?" Qin Feng said in a cold, sarcastic tone.

Xue Linhan's eyes were bloodshot red, but he knew that he was no match for Qin Feng after having his arm removed, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Now, he could only rely on Xue Yuheng to finish the job.

"I can't believe that after all these years, I still have to personally come out to clean up the mess!" Xue Yuheng said.

Qin Feng fixated his gaze on Xue Yuheng.

The others were fifty meters away from them, they were all clearly excited.

Aptitude users could be taught and cultivated, and they could also gain knowledge and experience from watching two advanced aptitude users fight.

Here, it was evident who the true ancient warriors were.

The skilled warriors were not afraid to display their skills, and whatever they do, the crowd would still be enthralled by their skills.

Qin Feng was also somewhat looking forward to the battle at this point.

If Xue Yuheng was an ability user or a gunner, Qin Feng would definitely turn around and run.

But on the contrary, he was just an ancient warrior. Qin Feng was not afraid and his expression revealed a hint of anticipation.

The more powerful the enemy was, the more powerful the internal force he could absorb after killing him.

"Inferno Blood!"

Two words were firmly spat out from Xue Yuheng's mouth.

As soon as the words were heard, Xue Yuheng's appearance changed drastically.

He was originally an old man in his seventies or eighties with a hunched back. Now, his back was slowly straightening, and his old, wrinkly body was starting to gain some weight.

His hair became dense and was as dark as ink, and his loose wrinkly skin firmed up and became smooth. The dark age spots on his face gradually faded, and the color of his skin changed from aged yellow to tender white.

In just the blink of an eye, it was like time had reversed his body to how he looked like almost sixty years ago.

Xue Yuheng's appearance had turned into a twenty-year-old youth. With just a glance, it was surprising to see that he looked even younger than Xue Yuan, but his eyes still had the same calm composure.

His once baggy clothes seemed to have been filled up by his muscular body, and his posture was now upright. He looked handsome and charming.

The Inferno Blood Secret Art had drastically improved his vitality and reversed his aging, returning him to his youthful self.

Even Qin Feng could sense that there was a major difference between Xue Yuheng's D-tier aptitude strength from then and now.

"You gave me no choice but to use Inferno Blood Art, do you have any idea what kind of price you'll have to pay?"

Qin Feng did not reply.

"Today, everyone from your colony will die! And it's all because of you!" Xue Yuheng continued indifferently.

If Qin Feng were an ordinary person, he would definitely feel the pressure increasing after hearing those words.

Xue Yuheng was indeed a cunning old man.

Before engaging in a battle, it was important to have a calm state of mind.

"I know that is the Xue family's Inferno Blood Art. The younger you want to become, the more fresh blood you require, but don't get too cocky just yet." Speaking of youth, even if Xue Yuheng had reversed his age, he was still not as young as Qin Feng.

Being in his prime, Qin Feng's body was strengthened to the utmost tier, and he was in no way weaker than Xue Yuheng.

"Hehehe, then I'll let you witness the destruction of your colony with your very own eyes. You'll be responsible for their deaths, and you will die amidst guilt!"

This seemed to be the kind of theatrics that the Dark Coalition was all too fond of.

All of them loved to disrupt the world's justice, peace and order. Moreover, they also liked to use guilt to put those heroes under great pressure which would eventually make them go insane.

But all those tactics did not work well on Qin Feng.

"There's no need for so much crap when clearly the person that's going to die is not me!"

Qin Feng spoke with unparalleled confidence.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew!" Xue Yuheng roared, and in the next moment, a huge internal force vortex formed around him.

The vortex was like a low-pressure atmosphere, making the surrounding people gasp for more air.

With his internal energy fused into one, transparent water ripples formed around him.

D-tier ancient warriors were worlds apart from E-tier ancient warriors.

He turned his internal energy into liquid, forming it into water droplets.

Condensing his aura to liquid was a complete change in state of matter.

The members of the Xue family that were fifty meters away could hardly breathe and unconsciously backed away. Some of them were even pushed onto the ground by the tremendous air pressure.

Qin Feng began to unleash his internal force around himself to protect his body.

The internal force that had enveloped his body formed into a whirlpool, but when compared to Xue Yuheng's, his was white and seemed to appear like a mist.

Xue Yuheng cackled.

"There's no need to push yourself so hard if you're not strong enough. You're releasing your internal force now, and soon it will deplete in no time without needing me to give you a good beating. Are you planning to surrender without a fight?"

"Then, we'll see whose internal force will deplete first!"

Xue Yuheng had suffered injuries in his early years which had obstructed his D-tier strength from reaching D1-tier!

From E-tier to D-tier, ten layers of the sea of clouds' internal force in the dantian could be turned into a pool of internal force water, and what Xue Yuheng now had was a pool of internal strength.

However, Qin Feng had thirty five layers of sea of clouds, which was incomparable since it was three times of what the other party had.

Neither of them showed signs of backing away, and in the next moment they were both dashing toward each other.

The internal force exuding from their bodies had been stirred into a mass and formed into an energy wave that was spreading outward!

Boom!

The hover cars around the two of them were all blasted a meter away, and even the steel plates were deformed!

It was just a mere clash between two internal forces.

Boom boom boom!

The two began with their attacks.

"Sanguine Palm Art!"

A powerful palm slapped through Qin Feng's shadow. Xue Yuheng channelled his internal force through his huge palm, which was then directly slapped onto the highway.

The ground was smashed with a two-meter large crater.

Whoosh!

Qin Feng appeared behind Xue Yuheng with his sharp dagger pierced into his internal force layer.

Creak!

A sharp sound pierced the air, and the two internal forces collided with one another.

"Die!" Xue Yuheng countered with a strike that was blazingly fast.

Xue Yuheng's strength had indeed increased in astronomical levels.

During his previous battle with Qin Feng, his moves were calm and composed, but his attacks were vicious and powerful. Yet, he still had not landed a single blow on Qin Feng.

Having his younger self back, Xue Yuheng was clearly excited and he fought with exhilaration.

His speed had dramatically increased, and he finally landed a blow on Qin Feng.

Bam!

Swish!

Qin Feng received a palm blow on his shoulder, and the shoulder part of his battle suit instantly dimmed and was damaged. Although no one could really see it, there seemed to be a scraped mark on his physical body.

Xue Yuheng's hair fluttered in the wind after being cut off by Qin Feng. A tiny wound appeared on his cheek, with a trace of blood dripping out.

Both of them had now changed positions.

The corner of Xue Yuheng's lips twitched. He raised his hand to wipe off the trace of blood on his cheek, and his hand was immediately stained with blood.

His appearance became hideous and dangerous.

"You are knocking on death's door!"

Xue Yuheng pounced at Qing Feng like a provoked, rabid dog.

Chapter 280: The Highway Showdown

The battle between Xue Yuheng and Qin Feng was intense.

The highway they were on was not far from the entrance of Hanchuankou, and on the highway, the tremendous pressure of their internal force could be felt from miles away. The oncoming caravans came to a halt as the passengers were too frightened to go any further!

Who the hell were they? Were they having a mighty duel?

However, the fight between the duellers was getting more and more intense.

Qin Feng's internal strength was not weak, but his moves were clearly at a disadvantage.

"Die!" Xue Yuheng swung his fleshy palms in mad pursuit of Qin Feng. Qin Feng had received many palm blows, but what made Xue Yuheng even more furious was that Qin Feng was unfazed by the attacks.

Could it be that his Sanguine Palm Arts had lost its effect?

Or maybe his enemy had found some way to subdue the attacks' effects?

Xue Yuheng had no choice but to give in his everything.

The entire highway was caved in, and the hover cars that surrounded them were destroyed beyond recognition.

"Pressure Point Strike!" Xue Yuheng suddenly changed his attacking style and struck his finger at Qin Feng with lightning speed.

He channelled his internal strength into his hand and condensed it at the fingertips. With immense power, he instantly struck his finger on Qin Feng's shoulder.

Qin Feng's body was wounded but they were merely light scratches on his skin. However, this time, the finger strike had caused him to not be able to move his entire body.

This was an advanced ancient warrior technique used to block meridian points of the body. This was more commonly known as the Touch of Death.

This technique was a lost art, and it was even more unlikely to have the same effect as told from the legends before the end of the world. It was said that with just a blow, the person would not be able to move for a very long time.

Qin Feng felt that the qi and blood circulation within his body were obstructed, and his meridians were instantly cut off from flowing, causing his internal force to go awry and his body to stiffen.

But yet, the effect was just a fraction of a second and not even the blink of an eye.

The effect of his devouring ability was clear at this moment.

Qin Feng's meridians were tough and wide, they were not something that could be easily attacked.

It was just that he was slightly caught off guard by his opponent's highly advanced attack.

Xue Yuheng grimaced as he raised his palm and aimed at the crown of Qin Feng's skull.

As long as he was able to land the slap, Qin Feng would definitely die.

Even when it was a moment of life and death, Qin Feng was still extremely composed, but the color of his eyes was even darker.

Whoosh!

The same black line appeared directly from Qin Feng's eyebrow and landed on Xue Yuheng's skull!

Xue Yuheng's vision instantly went black and he lost all five senses, he became hesitant of his attack. Even though it was only just a few milliseconds, he was still on par with Qin Feng when Qin Feng had been hurt.

Qin Feng instantly leaped backward.

With his many years of experience, Xue Yuheng slapped once again.

Only this time, his palm missed Qin Feng, and the ground where Qin Feng was before was instantly enveloped by a deadly aura. A humongous crate was formed on the ground.

Swish!

Qin Feng appeared behind Xue Yuheng, his dagger was ready to stab.

With his keen senses, Xue Yuheng felt the murderous aura coming from behind him and he frantically pushed out his internal force.

His internal force boiled and burst out in a qi wave.

"Hmph!" Qin Feng sneered as he released his internal force at the same time. This time, he amplified his internal strength even more.

Boom!

Their internal forces clashed against each other, emitting an explosion.

Qin Feng continued to stab with his dagger. This time, he struck his opponent right on the spine.

Xue Yuheng was sent flying and was blasted four or five meters away. His motionless body tumbled and rolled on the ground four or five times before it came to a halt.

"Ahh!"

"Fifth Elder, look out!"

"Fifth Grandpa!"

Those who were watching the battle from afar did not expect the fight to go this way. They could not believe that Xue Yuheng was actually sent flying.

There was no way Qin Feng would spare his opponent that easily. He advanced toward his opponent again.

Xue Yuheng came back to his senses, he used his internal energy to dispel the runes.

"What kind of attack is this?"

Xue Yuheng was a little perplexed.

Qin Feng hooked his lips and smiled.

"An attack that will finish you off!"

Qin Feng would not engage in any gentleman's duel etiquettes or rules with Xue Yuheng. Before this, he only used ancient warrior fighting styles and kept his final move as his trump card, but he did not expect Xue Yuheng to actually use his special move. Hence, he figured that he should not hold back either.

It did not matter how he won, as long as he was able to kill his opponent, no one would care about the result.

The winner would triumph!

Qin Feng quickly chased after Xue Yuheng.

Xue Yuheng slapped the ground with one hand and dodged his attack.

This time, a black light rushed toward him once again.

He dared not accept his inevitable fate but the light was now only an inch away from him!

"Pressure Point Strike!"

Having expended a huge amount of internal force, he sent out another finger as the two clashed against one another.

Boom!

The deafening explosion almost shattered their eardrums.

The bloody mist and black light exploded upon contact.

Xue Yuheng was left breathing heavily. The two consecutive Pressure Point Strikes had consumed too much of his internal force but he had to do it to defend himself.

In just the blink of an eye, Qin Feng sent out another ripple of dark light.

Xue Yuheng finally figured out the attack and was truly shocked.

"Dark Ability!"

This was not even a move at all!

"Unfortunately, it is already too late even though you have figured it out!" Qin Feng said as the light struck Xue Yuheng, causing him to lose his sight.

Xue Yuheng tried to dodge but he had lost all five senses, and he had no idea which direction he was facing.

Even if it was just a fraction of a second, it was enough for Qin Feng to approach him.

Qin Feng stabbed Xue Yuheng with his dagger again.

Their internal forces clashed once again.

Boom!

Xue Yuheng was blasted backward for over several meters. This time, the injuries he sustained were deadlier than before.

"Ugh!" Xue Yuheng spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood began to flow out of his chest. Not only that, his back was also stained with blood after being stabbed by Qin Feng.

Age began to show on Xue Yuheng's face. His youthful appearance became more middle-age looking now as wrinkles started to show and his skin began to sag.

Due to the injuries he had suffered, the effects of the Inferno Blood Art were starting to fade away.

Qin Feng would not give his opponent the time to rest. He dashed forward again and kicked Xue Yuheng right on the neck.

If the kick were to land successfully, Xue Yuheng would surely die.

"Stop!"

An explosive voice rang out. It was one of the capable deacons left in the Xue family who suddenly burst into attack.

He shouted for Qin Feng to stop but he himself was not planning to stop as he tried to slap Qin Feng with his palm.

However, his slap did not even go through Qin Feng's internal force.

"Scram!"

With a slight tremble of his periphery, Qin Feng expanded his internal force, instantly knocking the man out as his body smashed into the front of the Xue family's most luxurious car.

Bang!

The aptitude user groaned in pain, he felt that his organs were messed up from the impact.

Qin Feng did not hold back this time. His internal strength was too powerful and was ten times that of this man's. If he were to unleash it all at once, it would naturally suppress and crush the other party.

"Die!"

Xue Yuheng then seized this opportunity, his entire body was now covered in blood as his hands turned into claws and he tried to grab at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng quickly turned around but this time it was too late and he had no choice but to endure this blow.

Poof!

His shirt was pierced through and his inner armor scrapped. Xue Yuheng's claw attack pierced through Qin Feng's shoulder.

However, this claw attack, which would normally break bones, when landed on Qin Feng's body, could barely reach the bones at all.

Xue Yuheng felt that he had just clawed onto an extremely tough black iron.

It was because Qin Feng had the body flesh of a beast king, and there was no way Xue Yuheng could pierce through his flesh that easily!

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Qin Feng seized this opportunity and without hesitation, he dropped his dagger and placed his palm on Xue Yuheng's dantian.

The Asteroid Assimilation skill was finally unleashed!

Chapter 281: Total Wipeout

Dantian has always been the most protected spot for an ancient warrior. It would rarely be left exposed in a battle between two aptitude users.

That was why Qin Feng usually could not apply Asteroid Assimilation at the beginning of a battle.

However, as the fight drags on, there would be more openings and the supremacy of Asteroid Assimilation would be in full display in late-stage.

Xue Yuheng risked exposing his weakness in hopes of giving Qin Feng a heavy blow to turn the fight around.

Qin Feng grasped the opportunity and launched his attack as well. Though he would also sustain full damage that way, Qin Feng knew well that he was not going to be the one most wounded.

The pulling force of Asteroid Assimilation rapidly sucked out Xue Yuheng's internal force from his dantian.

The internal force of a D-tier aptitude user was in liquid form. The fluidic internal power immediately transformed into a gas-form cloud after being absorbed by Qin Feng.

Another layer of energy cloud was quickly added into Qin Feng's dantian.

The second and third layers soon followed.

After the fourth layer was shaped, Xue Yuheng began to jerk violently and his skin texture aged rapidly.

The four layers of internal energy fluid remaining in his dantian had been absorbed clean by Qin Feng.

He stared at Qin Feng horrifyingly. His meridian had gone haywire and blood was continuously spilling out from his mouth. Xue Yuheng tried to free himself but to no avail as he was captured firmly by the assimilation force.

Within a minute, Xue Yuheng's life force had been completely sucked out from his body. There was no vigor left in his eyes as his frail body shrunk like a withered plant.

Qin Feng retracted his hand as he could no longer sense any internal force left in the victim's body. He turned his palm into a fist and landed a heavy punch right on Xue Yuheng's chest.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering was promptly heard. Xue Yuheng's muscles were all wasted and his skeleton was the only thing supporting him now. The merciless punch easily smashed the bare bones into pieces.

Xue Yuheng was dead!

Those who were watching the battle from about a hundred meters away were round-eyed with terror.

Qin Feng did not stop at one life and turned toward the rest.

The deacon from Xue family, who had lost any will to fight, climbed into his luxurious hover car when he saw that Qin Feng had his gaze switched to them. His two legs were dangling outside of the car as he tried strenuously to reach the driver seat.

Qin Feng clenched one of his feet and dragged him out from the vehicle.

"Argh! Don't kill me! Spare my life!"

So what if he was an E-tier aptitude user. Everyone was equally terrified in the face of death.

Asteroid Assimilation.

Qin Feng pushed his hand onto his victim's abdomen and absorbed his internal force.

The deacon's energy was nothing like Xue Yuheng's. He only had one layer of loosely-formed sea of clouds, thus Qin Feng's internal force did not strengthen by much after absorbing his.

The poor soul stopped moving after a while. He had suffered serious internal damage before and was using his remaining internal force to prolong his waning life. Now that he had lost the protection from his internal force, death was inevitable.

Qin Feng's eyes glowed with malice after he had killed two persons in quick succession. He continued to pace toward the remaining members of the Xue family.

Fear had completely taken over them. They fell back subconsciously as Qin Feng approached them.

They were terrified!

"Run!"

"I don't want to die here!"

"Quick! Run for your life!"

They followed their elders here to flaunt their family's superiority. Now, they were fleeing with tails between their legs. What an irony!

But they could not care less about their pride now. All they wanted was to stay alive.

The one that fled the quickest was not the youngsters but Xue Linhan.

"Where are you running off to?"

Qin Feng directed his internal force into his legs and immediately blew the tar roads apart.

He sprang forward quickly. "Die!"

Qin Feng put down five targets in one fell swoop using only his internal force.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Their bodies were instantly mashed by Qin Feng's powerful punches. To Qin Feng, these F and G-tier ancient warriors from the Xue family were nothing more than fleas. Nonetheless, Qin Feng did not plan to let anyone of them escape from his grasp.

He exterminated most of them in less than three assaults.

Xue Linhan was the only one still moving now.

However, he too was heavily injured with one of his arms cut off by Qin Feng earlier. He did not manage to run far.

Qin Feng caught up to him quickly.

Asteroid Assimilation. Pulling force!

Xue Linhan felt a large whirlpool approaching him fast from behind. The powerful suction greatly diminished his speed.

"No!"

His shriek was unable to deter Qin Feng.

Qin Feng promptly clenched Xue Linhan's neck.

Snap!

Xue Linhan's neck was twisted at an inconceivable angle following the crisp popping sound.

"Die!"

Qin Feng triggered Asteroid Assimilation and emptied Xue Linhan's internal force. He let his body go after that and beheaded him with a dagger. This head was worth a fortune if handed to the bounty hunter network.

Qin Feng began to sweep the battlefield afterward. The members from the Xue family had brought along a lot of spatial equipment with them, not to mention the possessions of the three top dogs, especially Xue Yuheng.

As a D-tier aptitude user, his wealth was comparable to that of a city mayor's. The materials, potions, and power credits in his spatial equipment were worth close to ten billion. The amount of money in Xue Yuheng's account was probably even greater.

Regrettably, Xue Yuheng had retired for a long time. He had not been wanted for ten years and the bounty on his head had long expired.

Anyhow, Qin Feng was content with the loot found on Xue Yuheng.

'I didn't think that my disguise would earn me ten billion this easily.' Qin Feng grinned.

"Stop being so carefree. You are bleeding!" Bai Li jumped down from the hover car quickly. She then climbed up to Qin Feng's shoulder and licked his wound.

Qin Feng stroked Bai Li gently but accidentally tainted her shiny fur with blood. Bai Li rolled her eyes at him.

"My bad. Let's head to Niumeng now so that you can have a shower there," Qin Feng took out his Silver Bolt as he spoke and the hover car sped off instantly.

Half an hour after Qin Feng disappeared from the battlefield, a fleet of cars arrived. They were the ones that dared not move close earlier on.

Soon, they had their eyes on the tragic scene—the devastated highway, multiple rolled over cars, and a pile of human corpses. They gasped in horror.

"Let's get the hell out of here. I am not going through here even if the detour is three times the distance!"

They wanted no part of such a disastrous battle. Leaving their trails here might drag them into unthinkable problems.

Even though the communicators on the dead bodies and the deserted hover car were extremely valuable, they did not have enough courage to pillage the warzone.

At the same time, the communicators began to ring non-stop in the Xue family's base.

The deacon was dead!

The Fifth Elder, Xue Yuheng, was dead.

The deacon was dead!

The Seventh…

The Seventh…

The sixth-generation descendant, Xue Linhan, was dead.

Tragic news kept arriving through the communicators.

Those who departed to hunt down Bloodhunter had been completely wiped out.

Chapter 282: Three Billion Bounty

The entire Xue family was rocked by the news.

"How is this possible?" The Seventh Elder exclaimed distressingly.

However, no matter how outrageous it seemed, nobody could deny the fact that they had all died in the hands of a single bounty hunter.

The Seventh Elder played the videos sent to him one by one with a trembling hand.

He was not the only one being stupefied. Every member of the Xue family found it difficult to swallow the hard truth.

All the young blood dispatched along with the elders this time encompassed an entire generation of young talents painstakingly developed by the Xue family.

Similar to the colony, teenagers were the greatest asset for this family. Youngsters would be awakened at the age of sixteen and cultivate for another sixteen years before they could serve the family.

Other than talent, the development of an aptitude user also lay heavily on the opportunities present. To any young user, the chance to observe the fight of a D-tier aptitude user first hand was hard to come by. Those who were given such an opportunity were no doubt the top of their class.

Who would have thought that they would all be annihilated?

If Xue Yuan was considered the best talent in the seventh generation, then those who went with Xue Yuheng would be ranked in at least the top twenty.

The Xue family would probably run out of descendents in a few years after this disaster.

"How could this happen? Could there be a trap? Is someone trying to hunt us down? Who would that be? Who has such bravery to challenge us?"

While they were speculating, the subsequent videos silenced everyone.

Apparently, there was neither an ambush nor another D-tier aptitude user on the scene. Bloodhunter was the indisputable culprit that had killed every last one of them.

"I thought he was only an E-tier? How did he manage to kill the Fifth Elder?"

"Look, we can view the fight between Fifth Elder and Bloodhunter clearly from this angle. Could it be that the Fifth Elder was suffering the repercussions from Inferno Blood in the middle of the battle?"

"Sigh. The Fifth Elder was severely injured in the past. He should not have been given the job after all."

The effect of Qin Feng's Asteroid Assimilation at the end of their battle indeed resembled the side effects of the Inferno Blood Secret Art. Thus, it led to the speculation that the Fifth Elder was killed by accident.

Regardless of the truth, the current pressing issue was whether they should continue seeking revenge.

This was when another message was delivered.

"How dare you!" The Seventh Elder bellowed infuriatingly.

Everyone else clenched their fists and stared at their communicators furiously.

It was an update on the bounty hunter network. Qin Feng had just uploaded another three photos there. The three photos did not show a bloody head like before but the content of the photos was still a giant slap in the face for the Xue family.

Those were evidence proving Bloodhunter had claimed the bounty for Xue Linhan and the two deacons from the Xue family. A huge stamp that read "completed" was clearly seen imprinted on the posters.

Below the wanted poster was a string of numbers representing the reward on their heads. Killing three of them had earned Bloodhunter at least one billion.

Bloodhunter had even left a comment below, "It's too bad that Xue Yuheng's bounty had expired."

As if that was not enough to humiliate the Xue family, other bounty hunters chipped in and commended Qin Feng's achievements.

"I noticed that Bloodhunter is just an E-tier user. Is that true? If my memory serves me right, Xue Yuheng was a D-tier elder from the Xue family. How did this guy defeat him?"

"1 billion! That's a lot of money."

"What kind of grudge does this Bloodhunter hold against the Dark Coalition?"

"Clearly, the elder from the Xue family was trying to avenge his family member killed earlier but he paid with his own life instead."

"Wonderful!"

Everyone in the network cheered for Qin Feng after someone brought up the dark history of the Xue family.

Those from the Xue family were exasperated. Before Bloodhunter emerged, anyone who dared to bad mouth about the Xue family was no different from having invited destruction to his or her entire family.

Now, nobody seemed to be afraid anymore. Many joined in on the denouncement openly. Years of the reputation built up by the Xue family was smashed overnight. Qin Feng had successfully lifted the people's fear toward the Xue family with his heroic act.

"Seventh Elder, we can't let this go just like this. I suggest we inform the head of the family!" The family members had clearly become irrational out of anger.

"Shut your mouth, moron! Do we need to startle him for a mere E-tier bounty hunter?" The Seventh Elder rebuked the suggestion. His name was Xue Yukui, who acted as the current patriarch of the Xue family.

The actual chief of the family was naturally the strongest user of the family—A C-tier elder at a hundred and twenty years old.

He was currently roaming about the world looking for materials to prolong his life. He had gone beyond the North Sea searching for a way to break through and become stronger.

Even in his absence, other factions and colonies still respected and feared the Xue family's power.

Unexpectedly, the balance was now destroyed by an E-tier user, who had single-handedly killed Xue Yuheng. This sent out a message, whereby those from the Xue family were not actually as scary as the rumor sounded.

To the Xue family, such a blow was catastrophic.

Yet, the first idea that came to Xue Yukui's mind after watching the videos was to avoid clashing with this Bloodhunter directly at all cost.

It was because he could not deny Bloodhunter's supreme skills.

'He is probably stronger than we know. There's no way he is just an ordinary aptitude user. Otherwise, he would not have destroyed an E-tier ancient warrior's organs in an instance.'

'Facing such a fighter is like battling an E-tier beast king. We would merely be sending more people to be sacrificed if we act recklessly now.'

'Moreover, he is now residing in Niumeng City. It would be tricky to ambush him there.'

Xue Yukui's mind spun feverishly.

His family members were furious as they felt humiliated by the open provocation. They looked at Xue Yukui expectantly, hoping that he could provide them with a satisfactory solution.

Xue Yukui came to a decision quickly under the immense pressure. "Immediately put a bounty on Bloodhunter. Three billion!"

The others were first shocked, then happy with the decision.

That was a wise judgment. This was indeed the best solution at the moment.

There was no need to do the dirty work with their own hands. With the lucrative reward, many would definitely answer the call. No matter how powerful this Bloodhunter was, he would still succumb to being heavily outnumbered.

Those from the Xue family immediately spread the news.

Qin Feng checked into the most luxurious hotel in Niumeng after submitting the mission in the bounty hunter hall.

His wound was revealed after he had taken off the battle suit.

Xue Yuheng's Sanguine Palm did hurt Qin Feng. Luckily, it did not damage his meridian and bones. Even so, his skin swelled at where Xue Yuheng had hit him. It popped and bled after Qin Feng poked it.

Bai Li circled Qin Feng worryingly.

"Don't worry, this is nothing serious!" Qin Feng took out some high-tier beast meat as he spoke.

"Absorb!"

He absorbed the energy stored within the meat, and soon, the swelling was reduced as the wound healed rapidly. The four holes left behind by the Sanguine Palm were also healing at an observable speed.

Bai Li stopped hopping around nervously after seeing that and curled within Qin Feng's crossed legs to accompany him quietly.

Qin Feng adopted the meditation posture and checked his dantian.

The seas of clouds in it had increased by twenty layers after today's fight.

"Absorb!"

The internal force rapidly surged to his head, then descended to his limbs and strengthened all his meridians. The surplus of internal energy was then recycled back to his dantian.

That left his dantian with forty layers of dense seas of clouds—Four times the amount as compared to an ordinary E-tier ancient warrior at his or her peak.

His internal force might not lose even if he were to contest a D-tier ancient warrior now.

Chapter 283: Assassins Surfaced

Still, the maximum capacity between the two tiers was fundamentally different. Qin Feng's confidence stemmed from the ancient warrior's habit of conserving energy when landing punches. No D-tier would go all out on Qin Feng from the start so he would still stand a chance if he played his card right.

Qin Feng released a long breath and smiled satisfyingly.

He turned on the bounty hunter network and was irked after reading the comments tagging his account.

"Heh, I have been listed in the darknet's wanted list. This must be the Xue family's doing."

The darknet's wanted list was equivalent to the bounty hunter network. To a certain extent, the former was even more attractive to bounty hunters.

The official network only listed criminals who had committed heinous felonies.

On the other hand, anyone's head could be given a price in the darknet. As long as the price was right, there would be ample of willing assassins in the underworld to do the killing for you.

"Three billion, not a bad price." Qin Feng sneered.

This was when the doorbell in his room rang. A sweet lady's voice reached his ears from outside the door.

"Good evening, Sir. Room service."

'Room service?' Qin Feng opened the door calmly.

At the doorstep, a pretty lady in a nurse costume stood flirtatiously in front of Qin Feng. Her make-up made her look stunningly beautiful.

"Sir, welcome to Niumeng Grand Hotel. Here, we provide free massage services to help you relax," The young lady said and tried to barge in with her trolley. She was only one hundred fifty meters tall and the trolley seemed to be too heavy for her size. Her shirt was slightly exposed as she exerted force, and her cleavage was left bare to Qin Feng's eyes.

Qin Feng stopped her and said in a deep voice, "I did not ask for room service."

"As I said, this is free of charge," The lady winked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng scoffed at her. "Ms. Tian, save your breath. You can't kill anyone with such lousy trickery."

Her identity was already exposed when Qin Feng scanned the area with his conscious energy before he opened the door.

Thousand-face Enchantress—Tian Sheng.

She was an assassin who liked to use her beauty to bewitch her target. She was good at impersonation and would often assassinate the male target when they were the least vigilant.

It might be a cheap trick but this strategy often had a high success rate on the male target.

Qin Feng had met with Tian Sheng once in his past life. She was already a mistress to a B-tier aptitude user then and no longer worked as an assassin. He clearly remembered her conscious energy and would immediately recognize her even if she were to come to him with an entirely different face.

Tian Sheng did not panic but instead put on an innocent face. "What are you talking about, Mister? My surname is Zhou, not Tian." She drew closer and whispered in a coquettish tone, "Don't you like me, Mister?"

She blinked hopefully but Qin Feng was unmoved. He took out a dagger and aimed it on her neck.

Tian Sheng finally yielded her disguise and evaded the attack because she could feel that Qin Feng was serious about beheading her.

"My, my. Not only are you a cruel and cold-blooded Bloodhunter but you also do not have the slightest sense of chivalry!"

Tian Sheng's tone had completely changed. Without the imitation, she was an entirely different person from the alluring lady she pretended to be.

She flipped over the towel on the trolley and pulled out a decomposition blaster under it. In the next moment, the crystalline blaster was aimed straight at Qin Feng's face.

Blitz!

The gun released a shot of radiance right at Qin Feng, forcing Qin Feng to retreat quickly. The radiance grazed the wall and immediately corroded it, leaving behind a huge hole. The brick underneath turned into crystal and shattered on the ground.

Blitz! Blitz!

Tian Sheng did not loosen her pursuit and fired another few blasts.

Qin Feng raised his hand and a chair flew right at Tian Sheng in response.

Blitz!

The chair was pulverized after being hit by the decomposition blaster.

When Tian Sheng looked up, she had lost track of Qin Feng, only seeing a snowy beast residing in the room.

It was a beautiful three-tailed fox, no matter how you looked at it.

But Tian Sheng could feel a shiver run down her spine.

The fox's eyes were filled with rage and great impatience. Other than that, there was also a subtle allure hidden within the beast's sight.

"Look at me!"

"Ugh!" Tian Sheng was distracted for a moment.

That was more than enough for Qin Feng to sneak up to her from behind.

Poof!

A dagger wrapped with internal force instantly penetrated Tian Sheng's heart from the back.

Tian Sheng's pupils dilated as she staggered forward.

Qin Feng pulled out the dagger and blood spilled everywhere on the floor and the wall.

"How… ugh… is this… happening…"

Life slowly sapped away from Tian Sheng after her heart was punctured.

Qin Feng assimilated Tian Sheng's consciousness after she was dead. She was only a low-tier gunner and could not harm Qin Feng at all after her seductive plan was seen through.

"I want to change to a different room. Look at my bed sheet!" Bai Li complained angrily.

Even if Bai Li did not complain, the room was no longer in a stay-able condition. However, Qin Feng did not call the reception first and instead contacted the bounty hunter network.

Qin Feng delivered three heads over to them as soon as he arrived in Niumeng. It was only natural for the organization to be extra attentive toward Qin Feng.

They immediately sent someone over right after Qin Feng called them. The agent was shown to the dead female body once he arrived at the hotel room.

"I remember that Tian Sheng's bounty is around 500 million, am I right?" Her bounty was even higher than that of the Xue descendents. That was because she had committed multiple murders as an assassin.

Gulp.

The agent ran a quick DNA test. Technology had advanced to a point where such a test could be completed on the go within minutes. Tian Sheng's identity was soon confirmed, and the agent ratified that Qin Feng had completed yet another manhunt.

It was only after they had completed the procedure that Qin Feng requested the hotel staff to change his room. The concierges talked to Qin Feng with great respect after they saw the extent of the damage done to the room.

"Stop accepting new customers today. We already have our hands full with one troublesome guest. We can't afford to let another fight erupt here." This was the order the manager received after he reported the matter to the real owner of the hotel—One of the administrators of Niumeng City.

The owner's face darkened after learning that the customer was none other than Bloodhunter, who had made a name for himself by killing three infamous Dark Coalition members.

The owner understood the severity of the matter and ordered the immediate closure of the hotel. Meanwhile, Qin Feng was automatically upgraded to a presidential suite and was provided the highest class of service.

The night was not exactly a peaceful one, but that did not stop Qin Feng from having a good night's sleep.

Meanwhile, a lot of eyes were wide awake and spying on him in the dark.

"Three billion is no easy task. Even Thousand-face has failed."

"Hmph, that b*tch has no skills anyway!"

"We should lay low for now. After all, we are still inside Niumeng City. It's not worth risking our lives for the money before we are sure about the situation."

"Let's be patient and see how things develop. We are clearly not the only ones aiming for his head."

Some of them who received the kill order had grouped up, while a few brave souls had decided to act alone.

The different parties were wary of each other since everyone was targeting the same goal—Qin Feng's head, and the three billion reward offered by the Xue family.

The first night passed without further commotion despite the tension as all parties tacitly decided to wait it out.

Chapter 284: Ambush

Qin Feng did not hide indoors the next day.

He went out as usual because it was the opening of the Battlegod Tomb.

Qin Feng was not going to miss such an important date, though he knew the short trip there would not be a peaceful one. Qin Feng would show no mercy to anyone who dares to block his path and did not mind killing dozens of assassins as warm-up.

After having breakfast, Qin Feng descended to the lobby with Xiao Bai in his arms. They were ready to check out of the hotel.

A person walked toward him as soon as he exited the lift.

The man wore a tailor-made battle suit. A sigil displaying E5 was hanging handsomely on his chest.

He was obviously not an assassin judging by his upright posture.

His battle suit clearly indicated that he was a uniformed personnel. Qin Feng immediately recognized the uniform as the one worn by the patrol unit of Niumeng City.

"Nice to meet you, Bloodhunter." The man offered a handshake and introduced himself. "My name is Liu Lei, the commander of the Niumeng patrol troop's fifth battalion."

Qin Feng raised his eyebrow.

"My purpose here today is to escort you out and ensure your safety. As you might have heard, the Xue family has put a price on your head last night. A lot of killers have infiltrated the city since then. For your safety and the city's security, please forgive us for the inconvenience caused."

Qin Feng glared at him and said, "Since you have asked for my forgiveness, I suppose you understand how inappropriate your request is."

Liu Lei dared not offend Qin Feng. This was a man who could even defeat a D-tier ancient warrior.

A lot of people were busy guessing Bloodhunter's true identity now. But no matter what, he was definitely out of Liu Lei's league.

"Mr. Bloodhunter, I know this would restrict your personal freedom but we are doing it to protect you!"

"Do I look like I need your protection?" Qin Feng snorted.

Liu Lei expected the response and answered hurriedly, "At least we can stop people from harassing you. Please be cooperative with us until you leave Niumeng city."

Qin Feng fetched his Silver Bolt with a gesture and said, "I don't need your protection. I am leaving Niumeng now."

Liu Lei was surprised that Qin Feng had chosen to leave so soon. Regardless, it was the best-case scenario for them that Qin Feng would willingly bring his trouble out of Niumeng City.

"Please allow us to send you off."

"Whatever." Qin Feng started his car and drove out of the hotel. More than ten patrol cars convoyed around his Silver Bolt to keep Qin Feng "safe".

Those who watched in silence were irked by what they saw.

"What's going on? Why is the patrol troop escorting him?"

"What is Liu Lei plotting? Is he here to interfere?"

"Ask for intel, quick."

These assassins had their eyes and ears everywhere. It was no surprise that one or two of their informants were among the forty personnels escorting Qin Feng.

They soon learned that Qin Feng was exiting the city and Liu Lei was just seeing him off.

"Let's do this outside of Niumeng."

"What a daring guy. I would not have opted to leave town at such a timing."

"Hmph, what an arrogant piece of sh*t. I am going to claim the reward this time."

The assassins moved out as quickly as they could after confirming Qin Feng's intentions.

They could plan an ambush ahead since Qin Feng was moving relatively slow on wheels at the moment.

Qin Feng could not care less. He would not back down from anyone trying to take his life. It was their choice to become his enemies, not his. Hence, he would not go easy on them.

The convoy cruised steadily out of Niumeng City. The car in the front flashed a double signal and stopped at the side.

Liu Lei alighted and walked toward Qin Feng.

"Mr. Qin, we will part ways here."

Qin Feng scoffed and did not even bother to roll down the window. He changed his car into hover mode and drove off at full speed.

"Sigh." Liu Lei realized they were at fault this time. But the higher ups from Niumeng were left with no choice since Bloodhunter had aggravated none other than a renowned ancient warrior family.

Qin Feng's car quickly went out of sight and out of the protection of Niumeng City.

His Silver Bolt had traveled a considerable distance after five minutes. It was indeed a speedy hovercraft.

Suddenly, Qin Feng realized that he was being targeted by two conscious energies.

Pew! Pew!

Two yellowish missiles were chasing after the craft.

"Hmph!" Qin Feng sneered and stored the Silver Bolt back into his spatial equipment. He then stood imposingly in the middle of the highway.

The two missiles were incoming fast.

Of course, Qin Feng would not risk exposing himself by reflecting the missiles using his conscious energy.

The reflexes and defensive prowess of an ancient warrior were more than enough for him to deal with the two missiles. Qin Feng expanded his internal force to form a protective field that covered his entire body.

This was a defensive skill usually mastered only by D-tier aptitude users. Qin Feng could execute it easily owing to his enormous internal strength.

Not only that but Qin Feng dexterously dodged the missiles the moment they almost hit him. The assaulters did not have enough time to change the course of the missiles as Qin Feng was too fast.

Boom! Boom!

The two missiles hit the ground.

The explosions splashed the rocks and sand off the road, which hit Qin Feng's internal force shield. The shield was slightly rippled but its energy was hardly exhausted. The attack did not even smudge Qin Feng's suit.

"Stop making fun of yourself using such a laughable trick." Qin Feng infused his tone with internal force and delivered his mockery far and wide.

That failed to draw out the ambushers.

They were still observing closely while contemplating their next step. Everyone wanted to be the third dog*.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, would not wait passively and charged right at them.

It was just like having a stroll in the park for him but his pace was rather fast.

The ambushers panicked when they saw Qin Feng making the first move.

Apparently, they did not expect the missiles to do Qin Feng any harm. It was simply to stop Qin Feng from getting away with his hovercraft.

That had been achieved but it seemed that they had little idea on what to do next. A dogfight was imminent.

Finally, the first person got sick of hiding and stepped out. Many would soon follow. To be honest, it was not difficult to guess their thoughts.

If those who came out first were to successfully assassinate Qin Feng and run away with his body, then those who emerge later would have gained nothing.

They must get a piece of Qin Feng no matter what. The allure of the three billion reward was hard to resist.

That was almost the worth of an E-tier beast king like Drakocrocs. Its skin could be used to forge many equipment and wear.

In other words, three billion was equivalent to a full set of king-tier items.

Nonetheless, not everyone could earn money as easily and as fast as Qin Feng. On average, an E-tier aptitude user could only pocket one hundred to two hundred million each time they carried out a deadly mission.

Hence, to them, Qin Feng was no longer a person but a walking bag of gold.

"Kill!"

"Die!"

"Everyone, attack!"

These people came out from their hiding and jumped at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smirked.

'Can't wait for your turn to die, eh?'

There was a total of thirty of them.

Qin Feng showed no fear despite being heavily outnumbered.

Translator's note: The third dog reference originated from the phrase "While two dogs fight for a bone, a third runs away with it".

Chapter 285: One Kill For Every Ten Steps

"Those who kill will eventually be killed by others!"

Qin Feng spoke without any emotions as he identified the first ancient warrior who was the first to rush toward him.

"Dark Shroud!"

"Phantom Motion Steps!"

Qin Feng remained extremely stealthy without reducing any of his lightning speed.

Massive internal force instantly shattered his opponent's protective internal energy, it was merely an unworthy opponent that had no protection left and did not deserve any attention from Qing Feng.

His internal strength was truly overpowered.

Poof!

A decapitated skull was tossed up to the sky while blood squirted all around.

One down!

Qin Feng turned around with his enormous internal strength that had emerged and began his slaughtering feast.

"Ah!"

Amidst chaotic screaming that was heard in the surroundings, the throat of a gunner was being slit through while fresh blood dripped from his mouth, he had lost all of his energy and his body fell onto the ground.

"How could this be…"

An ability user could not believe it when he witnessed Qin Feng who was able to withstand his fiery attack that landed back onto himself, and his ribs cracked into pieces!

The massive energy had rolled over the ability user and flattened his body.

Qin Feng's slaughter!

Nobody could get a hold of Qin Feng who had mastered his Phantom Motion Steps, and some had even injured themselves by their blind attacks!

The battle had only taken place for ten minutes, and there were already more than twenty who had died!

There were more than ten of them that were left behind and were haunted by fear.

What sort of enemy were they battling against?

"Retreat!"

"We can't fight him!"

"It is not worth it to risk our lives without any reward!"

Everyone began to back off.

Qin Feng stood still and did not have the intention to hunt everyone down.

He raised both of his hands and looted every valuable item from all of the people that were dead, and regardless of who they were to Qin Feng, all dead bodies were decapitated.

Some of them might even be worth some extra bounty if they were on the list of wanted people.

Those who were hidden in the dark were frightened by Qin Feng's actions.

Now, everyone felt that this Bloodhunter was as equally dangerous as the Xue family.

Qin Feng continued to maintain his high profile and walked on the main road without using his hovercraft.

As soon as the first round of assassination had ended, unsurprisingly, the Xue family had sent someone to find out what the outcome was.

They came for a sole purpose, which was to retrieve Xue Yuheng's spatial rune equipment worth about ten billion.

It was surprising for them that the E-tier aptitude users were being killed in such a terrible way.

The news had alerted the Xue family and had everyone shocked.

"B*stard!" Xue Yukui became furiously agitated by the recordings from the communicator.

Meanwhile, the fear in Xue Yukui had also grown stronger as well.

Everyone remained silent as they noticed that Xue Yukui was in a rage!

"Spread the news, the Fifth Elder has a rare treasure that is worth billions!"

"Seventh Elder!"

"This, wouldn't this cause the D-tier aptitude users to join in as well? By then, we will not be able to retrieve those items!"

"Moreover, what impression would the others have on our family?"

The Xue family did not acknowledge the death of Xue Yuheng, and Qin Feng did not present any evidence to prove it as well.

The fall of the elder from a renowned dark family, how disgraceful would that be?

"Shut up, do you all really think that nobody else would know if I keep it to myself? The other elders might have already made their move to spread the news that has caught everyone's attention, I want to create an even bigger mess so that Bloodhunter would have his hands full." Xue Yukui said to the others.

Everyone agreed with Xue Yukui's idea.

"I am going to get the Third and Sixth Elder, this time, it would still require us to take action!" Xue Yukui stated.

They aimed to be the fishmonger that would come last to net in all of the rewards.

The more that was killed by Bloodhunter, the more that the loot would be.

Wealth was definitely something that they would not want to miss.

For those who would go along to besiege Bloodhunter would undoubtedly be eradicated by them!

The method that was being used by the Xue family was similar to when Qin Feng set a bounty on the Scorpion Corps, only that the approach of it was different.

Despite the lucrative bounty that Qin Feng had set on the Scorpion Corps, nobody dared to take up the task.

With the insane amount of bounty that was set on Qin Feng by the Xue family, many had tried to hunt down Qin Feng, meanwhile, the Xue family only had to wait for their desired outcome in the end, it was a perfect situation for them.

However, would the outcome be the same as when Qin Feng set a bounty on the Scorpion Corps?

Qin Feng went ahead alone on the road, he realized that there were still others that were observing him from hidden spots.

However, Qin Feng ignored all of them.

While none of those who were spying on Qin Feng were able to bother him, he moved forward along the road and noticed a shadow of another person.

Qin Feng instantly halted in his footsteps.

He gazed upon the opponent that was equipped with an entire set of advanced combat fatigue, surprisingly, it was D-tier purple rune equipment with a D2-tier badge on his chest.

It was also very odd for the person to put on a mask to hide his identity.

However, judging from the skin condition from the neck, he was most likely an elderly person that was over sixty years old!

Qin Feng stood before him.

"Bloodhunter!" The person shouted and sounded slightly puzzled. "I have heard about you and your case against the Xue family, as an elder, I would commend on your courage, however, you have gotten yourself into deep trouble, and you might not escape being hunted down by the Xue family!"

Qin Feng remained silent and waited for him to complete his sentence, then, he replied with a question, "As an elder, what suggestion would you have for me then?"

"I am aware that you are having Xue Yuheng's spatial rune equipment, if you were to give me that, I will distract the others from hunting you down!" The person replied.

Qin Feng let out a sneer, "You wish!"

The elder took a deep breath and sounded more harsh in his tone.

"You are not appreciating my kind help, if you take up my offer, you might still be able to survive!"

"If you back off now, you might not die here!" Qin Feng replied with a deep voice.

The elder was probably not one of the members of the Dark Coalition, he might even be one of the highly regarded people from the human alliance.

However, he had made the wrong move in approaching Qin Feng!

"It seems like I will have to go the harsh way!"

The elder was taking peaceful measures before using force, but the attack that came after was definitely a deadly one.

After all, he knew that Qin Feng was able to take down Xue Yuheng, he would definitely not be any other ordinary person.

He did not want to follow the footsteps of Xue Yuheng.

"I will seek for peace until others have crossed the line!" Qin Feng let out a sigh, "If you really wish to take me down, then I will have to go all out with you!"

If the elder was only being greedy for wealth, utilizing his D2-tier capabilities that was only aimed at defeating his opponent, Qin Feng would have easily spared his life.

However, Qin Feng would not go easy on him now.

Sometimes, it depended on how you portray yourself to the mirror.

If you show a smile, the mirror would return with a smile.

If you show anger, the mirror would also return the same!

The elder that sounded righteous earlier had turned into a killer that was about to kill him.

Boom!

The massive internal strength from both of them collided.

"Dark Shroud!"

While the internal strength began to entangle onto each other, runes began to sneak into it, and hidden dark lights shined onto the elder.

Chapter 286: Battle Against D4

Qin Feng went all out without any hesitation and gathered dark runes onto his dagger, as if it was shrouded by a black layer of light.

It was rare for dark abilities to showcase their presence, hence, some might not even be able to detect it.

After a few rounds of battles, Qin Feng had managed to grab hold of an opening and pierced through the arm of the elder.

Within a short period of time, the arm of the elder turned pitch-black and deteriorated continuously.

Any ordinary person would last for a short while but due to old age, it was obvious that the elder had a problem coping with the dark abilities that were devouring his life energy and striking a deadly attack onto his weak point.

"You, how dare you use poison!"

The elder roared in anger, as if Qin Feng had committed some unforgivable sin.

"Regardless of black or white cats, only its ability to take down its prey defines its capability, it is my own decision to use poison!"

Since the elder was already aiming to take Qin Feng's life, why would he still be so hesitant, was he expecting Qin Feng to risk his own life just to remain an honourable person?

Qin Feng let out a sneer and took the opportunity to drain out an insane amount of his opponent's internal energy with Asteroid Assimilation.

A D2-tier ancient warrior would have two separate energy fluids within the internal strength of the body.

There had to be twenty layers of them if they were to be transformed into a sea of clouds.

The internal strength within Qin Feng's dantian spiked in leaps and bounds.

The elder opened his eyes wide as he was shocked by the injustice!

Boom!

The repelling force exploded and the elder was being forcefully tossed away by Qin Feng's attack.

His body landed on the road and it resulted in an instant death.

Qin Feng took a deep breath.

The exchange with the elder had left a few wounds on Qin Feng's body, the F-tier emperor combat fatigue was unable to withstand forces from the D-tier aptitude user, and there was a huge gash on the gear on his arm.

However, he did not care much about those, he went ahead to check for loot and moved forward.

After Qin Feng had gone far ahead, some of those that were in the surrounding approached and looked at the dead body of the elder that had just died.

"A powerful D-tier, who is he?"

"Shall we take a look?"

With deep reverence toward the dead body, some reached out to take off the mask of the elder.

Everyone was shocked as they stood still.

"He, I think he is the leader of the Lee family!"

The Lee family was the leader of the second generation ancient warrior families from the Four Cities of the North Sea.

Although the massive family might not be comparable with the four major ancient warrior families, it was at the same hierarchy as the lord from Niumeng City.

"There are rumors saying that despite their large number, none of them from the Lee family are capable enough to take up the next leadership position, and all of them are wastrels!"

"Keke, so pitiful, this elderly leader came out just for the 3 billion reward?"

"It is not about the 3 billion, I would say it is because of Xue Yuheng's spatial rune equipment!"

"The Lee family is now doomed!"

The discussion continued on and news soon spread quickly, Bloodhunter had killed the leader of the Lee family, instantly, everyone was shocked by the news.

However, focus began to shift away from the death of the elder.

"The leader of the Lee family is highly skilled, would Bloodhunter be stronger than him?"

"Perhaps, he was also wounded, and he acted as if he was unaffected and left!"

"Now, he has gotten items from two D-tier aptitude users."

Instantly, jealousy began to grow among all of the assassins that were after Qin Feng.

It was within everyone!

The multiplying possessions that had gained him the enormous amount of wealth was insanely tempting for the others.

Furthermore, Qin Feng was wanted by many others.

They had even come up with a better idea, it was the same as what the Xue family had thought.

Recurring battles.

It was at that moment, as he walked on the road, Qin Feng was left speechless as he looked through the items that were looted from the leader of the Lee family.

"How is this possible? How could he be this poor?" Qin Feng browsed through the spatial rune equipment that did not contain much, with a quick glance, it would only be worth 2 billion.

The level of poverty was shocking!

How could a D-tier aptitude user be in such a dire state?

Qin Feng even doubted himself for not looting thoroughly.

However, it was because he did not know who he was, if he had known, he would most probably have figured out the reason behind it.

Qin Feng did not go ahead to find out the person's true identity and it had nothing to do with him.

He continued to move forward at a constant speed, and he was only able to go for another five hundred meters before he encountered another person.

Incoming bombs forced Qin Feng to withstand the attack with his internal strength, but the attackers remained stationed from afar without any further action, and Qin Feng was irritated by it.

"Do you really think you can drain out my internal strength with such a method?"

Qin Feng was aware of the plans of his opponents.

His shadow then instantly disappeared from the road.

The ability users that were after Qin Feng were all shocked at the sight, they began to activate their conscious energy to search for Qin Feng.

"What happened? Where is he? He disappeared just like that!"

"Nothing returned from the search using conscious energy, did he equip something that could hide his conscious energy?"

"The mask is capable of avoiding conscious energy search, but would that also be able to block his breathing? What kind of precious item is that?"

Qin Feng's mask was definitely unable to perform wonders but he could easily hide himself by using his conscious energy. He travelled at high speed within the bushes that paralleled along the road, soon, he was close to the location of the attacker that launched the attack earlier.

Without any hesitation, Qin Feng took out his dagger and rushed toward the gunner for a kill.

"Ah!"

The opponent covered his throat and fell from the tree.

Qin Feng did not stop, and he began his furious slaughter on every assassin that was hidden in the area!

He took down about five of them and moved forward, however, he looked even more battered as the decomposing blaster had slightly grazed through his clothes during the battle.

Then, he stopped moving forward along the road and took a turn into another direction.

For the others, it might seem that Qin Feng was planning for an escape into the wilderness.

There were a lot more that were risking their lives as they continued to pursue Qin Feng in the dark, and they were puzzled by the potential wealth that was before them.

It was three hours later when Qin Feng circled around a giant hill and stopped by a stream.

He seemed to be worried from the expression on his face.

"What is it? Not escaping anymore?" A voice was heard, filled with mockery, and it sounded like he was looking down on Qin Feng.

Qin Feng fixed his vision on his opponent.

It was a young man.

He was about thirty years old, and had a well-built body that was about two meters tall, he was also wearing combat fatigue and his hair was yellow in color.

His inner armor was silver in color, and it was a D-tier silver color.

D-tier beast king inner armor!

It was obvious that he was a strong opponent!

Qin Feng was also alarmed by the presence of such a strong opponent.

"Zhao Yingyi!" Qin Feng called out the name of his opponent.

It was one the ancient warriors that would become very powerful during the later stages of his life.

He was an active member from the Dark Coalition, and before the death of Qin Feng, he had even achieved B-tier capabilities.

However, Qin Feng did not know that he was originally from the Four Cities of the North Sea.

Qin Feng could only recall that his presence was in the middle eastern states!

However, those did not matter anymore!

Qin Feng only needed to know that Zhao Yingyi was a D4-tier!

He had to be well-prepared to face such a strong opponent.

Qin Feng had yet to organize his unsettled sea of internal strength clouds, with his forty layers seas of clouds available, it was coincidentally the same as Zhao Yingyi's.

At times like this, difficult situations would require extreme measures!

Qin Feng had his eyes locked on his opponent, and all of a sudden, he had an idea.

"Xiao Bai, come with me!"

In the next moment, Qin Feng was already rushing forward.

It was then, Bai Li instantly disappeared from beside Qin Feng, and in the next moment, she was already behind Zhao Yingyi!

Zhao Yingyi was sharp in sensing his surroundings so he quickly dodged to the side.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Three sharpened claws drew across the air and went past the same spot.

Chapter 287: The Xue Family Gives Chase

"Beast King!!!" Zhao Yingyi was shocked when he saw Bai Li but it was immediately followed by a glint in his eyes. "A contract beast? You're a really lucky kid, having a beast king as a contract beast, but do you really think you can beat me like that?"

Zhao Yingyi was very confident. After all he was wearing the inner armor of a D-tier beast king, Qin Feng and Bai Li's attacks would have no effect on him.

"Well, I don't have time to dilly-dally. Those Xue family dinosaurs are still waiting to reap the benefits, I'm afraid they'll catch up soon!"

Qin Feng was quiet for a while, then he said, "Then I won't waste time with you, after all I'm not sure about dealing with a bunch of D-tiers!"

Zhao Yingyi sneered, "You sound like you're pretty sure of yourself right now!"

Who was Zhao Yingyi? He had been called a prodigy at a young age and had a valiant kind of strength. All the ultra beasts he had fought before were D-tier, and he had killed countless D-tier aptitude users, even when he was E8 to E9 tier he hunted and fought D-tier gunners.

That was why he felt that Qin Feng's battle record was not all that special. Maybe he was just a little bit stronger in the beginning, but Zhao Yingyi felt that this kind of person should be put down before they become too big of an issue.

Besides, he got bored and decided to come over. The moment he saw something exciting he just had to be involved!

By now the two daggers in Qin Feng's hands had disappeared, obviously he had stored them back into his spatial rune equipment.

Then, another blade appeared in his hand. It had a long and wide blade that looked respectably heavy.

It seemed to be filled with power, but the most important thing was that the blade did not give off the special light that man-made equipment had. Its tier was unknown.

Uncertainty blossomed in Zhao Yingyi's subconscious mind. 'Could it be? A God Weapon?'

When the Earth was invaded by the rifts, many long lost legends finally received their answers and there were items that could be used by humans with properties that could never be produced by humanity.

They called them God Weapons.

If that were true then he would have to be extra careful.

"Let's see if you really have real skills!"

Zhao Yingyi pulled out a metal staff, a D-tier weapon that shone with silver light.

This Zhao Yingyi had terrifying strength and a profound background. Qin Feng fearlessly charged toward him.

"Blazing Sky!" Once a move had been made, it had to be a sure-kill move.

"Thousand Dervish Smite!"

Zhao Yingyi also pulled out tricks of his own.

With large amounts of internal force flowing through their weapons, there was a resounding bang from the collision.

They were already in the middle of a mountain, such a loud noise would have caused a lingering echo.

Xue Yukui and the rest who had been looking for clues immediately turned toward that direction.

Meanwhile, the battle between Qin Feng and Zhao Yingyi became more and more intense.

For a moment, his consciousness tugged at him. He felt that his expanded consciousness had picked up the presence of multiple D-tier aptitude users.

That must be the Xue family's people.

This must be resolved quickly!

With a flick of his wrist, he collided with Zhao Yingyi's weapon and sent him three meters back.

Zhao Yingyi became more and more apprehensive the longer he fought, he had not expected Qin Feng to be so strong. The more he had this feeling the more he wanted to kill his opponent.

When Qin Feng retreated, Zhao Yingyi immediately gave chase.

In response, Qin Feng suddenly mobilized his consciousness.

"Magma Burst!"

Boom!

A scorching wave of heat rose from the ground and instantly enveloped Zhao Yingyi.

Zhao Yingyi left himself open and cried out in surprise, "Huh?!"

Quickly expelling internal force, he took a step and bounded away from the column of magma that erupted out from the ground below him. When he moved, a pitch black crack with silver light at its rim appeared at the area where he was dodging toward. He was not sure what that was but it definitely was not good news so he decided to avoid it.

He might have avoided the first but a crack appeared behind him. Not only that, but in the blink of an eye the cracks began to spread, surrounding him from all sides.

Pfft!

Pfft pfft pfft!

Zhao Yingyi's arms and thighs were suddenly slashed by the cracks.

Bai Li unleashed her power!

Qin Feng naturally was not going to stop.

"Dark Shroud!"

A shroud that was pitch-black suddenly covered Zhao Yingyi!

"What the hell?" Zhao Yingyi lost his own rhythm but his powerful internal force rushed out and knocked aside the space runes, instantly healing his small cuts.

This was why D-tiers participated in the front line. They could even seal rifts with energy transformed by their internal force.

The spatial ability was not invincible!

However, this kind of ability was not something that could be so easily shrugged away. Countering it took a lot of internal force and the gain was not worth the loss. Qin Feng would not give up this opportunity.

"Dark Ray!"

A beam of darkness slammed into Zhao Yingyi's body, causing him to suddenly feel very weak, and his strength had been greatly reduced.

At this time, he realized what he had encountered!

"Fire ability and dark ability!"

These were definitely abilities!

Just what was Bloodhunter? An ability user and an ancient warrior?

Zhao Yingyi did not have too much time to think because Qin Feng had already gone in for an attack.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Qin Feng absorbed a large amount of Zhao Yingyi's internal force.

"Get off me!" With a swing of his staff, he managed to pull himself away from Qin Feng's absorption.

Strength indeed.

All of a sudden, Bai Li appeared once again.

Zhao Yingyi's internal force had already swept away the Dark Shroud, then he saw Bai Li.

"Look at me!" Bai Li's eyes emitted a piercingly bright silver light, momentarily dazzling Zhao Yingyi.

He was an ancient warrior but he did not have the consciousness to match the strength of a king-class spatial ability user.

Bai Li added, "Stop moving!"

Zhao Yingyi's body suddenly seized up and Qin Feng brought his blade toward his neck.

After struggling for a while, Zhao Yingyi managed to stagger backward.

But it was too late.

Qin Feng's saber had already cut into his neck, slashing out a chunk of it.

"Hurk…huh…" For whatever Zhao Yingyi wanted to say, he had no energy to continue.

Qin Feng approached him, knowing that his opponent had not died yet. Before the internal force in his dantian dissipates, he quickly struck his opponent's dantian with his palm.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

His internal force surged. Qin Feng's dantian's internal force felt like it was about to explode!

After one day of battling, combined with Zhao Yingyi being a D4-tier ancient warrior, it resulted in the internal strength in his dantian reaching the limit of ninety nine layers.

He did not dare absorb it all and loosened his grip.

Three D-tier aptitude users were about a few hundred meters away from him, fast approaching on his left!

Qin Feng flicked his hand, melting Zhao Yingyi's body in hellfire after he had taken away the D-tier inner armor and other useful equipment. After picking up the silver light equipment, he kicked at the ashes to scatter them

"Darkness. Fire. Return!"

All the runes were absorbed back into Qin Feng. If it were not for special equipment, it would have been impossible to detect fluctuations of power here.

The only sign would be the ground that the magma pillars had suddenly erupted from earlier having turned into volcanic ash from the eruption.

Chapter 288: Entering the Battlegod Tomb

These clues could not be left behind, or else they could expose Qin Feng's identity and Fengli colony would be met with catastrophe!

"Xiao Bai! Quickly get rid of the dirt over here!"

Bai Li willed her power to create a massive ditch in the ground. Qin Feng followed up by hopping in and unleashing a few blows with his fists to further destroy the ditch.

The enemy was already looming in the woods nearby!

Qin Feng pumped internal force into his legs and frantically dashed forward.

"The fiend went that way!" Having perceived Qin Feng's movements, the three figures quickly gave chase.

It was the Xue family's Xue Yukui, along with the Third Elder and Sixth Elder. The three were extremely fast.

Qin Feng was not slow either. At this time, the internal force within his dantian was in turmoil, as if it was about to explode at any moment, the speed he put out was even more terrifying.

He stepped over twenty meters in a single bound, moving up to one hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

The three elders of the Xue family were hot on his tail and the distance between them was beginning to shrink.

After five minutes of this wild chase, the distance between them was only fifty meters apart!

Qin Feng consciousness quickly picked up the presence of a group of people. Out of all of them, the weakest was E-tier and the strongest was D-tier, there were up to five of them.

He soon picked up his pace, increasing his speed again.

Whoosh!

Bai Li appeared in Qin Feng's arms. She had been at the sidelines, planning to unleash a killer move should Qin Feng's pursuers catch up to him.

There was no need for that now.

As they continued to run, a large mountain began to loom into view.

It was surrounded by mist, giving the mountain an otherworldly and timeless feel. At the foot of the mountain was a stone tablet that was carved with three traditional Chinese characters.

It was the Battlegod Tomb!

On the stone tablet, there were countless smaller characters detailing the requirements needed to enter the tomb, and next to the tomb was a flight of stone stairs emerging from an open gate that resembled that of the main gate of a monastery, the only place that was not shrouded by fog.

Moreover, the gate was glowing with a silver light, which meant that it was obviously a spatial rift.

Such a scene stunned the Xue family.

For they recognized all the people that were standing in front of the Battlegod Tomb. People from the Four Cities' Yang family, Tieh* family and Hou family were all present here.

They were all D-tier aptitude users, sat cross-legged as they absorbed the otherworldly energy that lingered here to speed up their training and cultivation.

Xue Yukui suddenly thought of something and his expression darkened.

Xue Yuan was originally going to come here to participate in the Battlegod Tomb and was killed by Bloodhunter before he got here. He did not expect the killer to actually arrive here at this very place.

"B*stard, you think they can protect you? I'm gonna kill you today!"

The four of them, three chasing after one, soon arrived at the base of the Battlegod Tomb's mountain.

The D-tier and E-tier aptitude users all opened their eyes and looked to where the commotion was coming from, toward Qin Feng. His consciousness swept across the crowd and detected someone familiar.

It just so happened to be Chu Yingshan who had told Qin Feng to come here to seek for opportunities.

Although Chu Yingshan could not enter the Battlegod Tomb, when it was opened up, the spirit mountain would also open up. This resulted in the heaven and earth spirit aura of the area to be five to six times richer, making it suitable for cultivation.

The Battlegod Tomb had not been opened for a very long time, cultivating here for a month and at most half a year sounded like a good idea.

Now was not the time to reminisce, Qin Feng could not even say hello to the man.

He was rushing forward in a mad sprint, not even slowing down as a jade token appeared in his hand.

It was a Battlegod Token!

He directly crashed into the mountain gate next to the Battlegod Tomb's stone tablet. The space rune on the gate rippled, and then Qin Feng disappeared into it.

Xue Yukui, who was still giving chase, did not stop. After seeing that Qin Feng had gone in, he thought that they would be able to enter too and charged toward the monastery gate.

Suddenly, the gate flashed with silver light, and when Xue Yukui opened his eyes again he realized that he had reappeared twenty meters away from the gate.

A spatial ray had shifted him.

Swish swish!

Two more beams of light appeared, they were Third Elder and Sixth Elder.

On the gate, words written in characters from the ancient times appeared. For the ancient warrior families, it was not too hard to decipher what the words meant.

[No Battlegod Token!]

[No Ages Beyond Twenty!]

[No Entry!]

"How's that possible? How did Bloodhunter manage to get in?" Xue Yukui was about to go ballistic.

The monastery gate naturally had no way of responding to that question.

The people on the sidelines, upon seeing this farce, could not help but speak up.

One man that was sitting cross-legged, who had a Qiang, a spear with a red horse-tail-like tassel lashed where the shaft and blade met, grinned as he rejoiced in the misfortune he was witnessing.

"Isn't it obvious? The person had a Battlegod Token and wasn't over twenty years old, that's why he could go in!"

"You piece…" Xue Yukui was about to start swearing, but after seeing the person who spoke he swallowed the rest of the sentence.

It was Yang Mao, the Yang family's Second Elder.

He was an ancient warrior of D5-tier strength.

On the other side, a short middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged, with an épée resting against his shoulder also added in on the mockery, "So that was the infamous Bloodhunter I've been hearing about. I've also heard that they killed Xue Yuheng, who would have thought that one of Xue family's elders would lose to some beardless child! What an embarrassment!"

Xue Yukui's face flushed red.

"Tieh Lei, does this mean you want to duel?" The Xue family's Third Elder bellowed.

"Sure! My arms are itching!"

The atmosphere between the two people was suddenly filled with domineering arrogance.

"Xue family, don't forget whose territory this is. You're challenging three families, are you sure this is a fight you want to engage in? Don't stain the ground with your blood, there'd be no body or bones left to bury." A woman in her thirties with a whip wrapped around her waist said sharply.

Hou family's Hou Yangjiao.

Not only that, there were two other D-tiers, and among them were the co-owners of two cities out of the Four Cities of the North Sea.

These people naturally did things their own way, but they were entirely different when compared to the Xue family.

They were part of the Human Alliance.

The Xue family was part of the Dark Coalition.

They would naturally be in opposition, but nobody wanted to go to war. That would bring no benefits.

The three people from the Xue family had pale faces and could only swallow hard and speak no more.

In their hearts, they were wondering, why would these people be here?

In fact, the Battlegod Tomb did not give them much benefit, but Xue Yuan had been murdered three days ago and that had put everyone on high alert.

Xue Yuan was the Xue family's current prodigy, their family treasure, who ended up having the misfortune of getting killed off. The Xue family was also a group of cruel individuals, what if they suspected that it was the other family's fault and killed off the other family's disciples?

Needless to say, Xue Linhan had really thought about it.

As a result, the three families sent their D-tier elites over but did not expect this series of events to occur afterward. The Xue family did not come to kill their disciples but they did not dare return and had been quietly keeping tabs on their surroundings.

Who would have thought that this would be the final result.

"This Bloodhunter's not even twenty years old!"

"There's no one who's under twenty years old in the Battlegod Tomb right now. Doesn't it feel like we're just accompanying our kids to the study hall?"

"There would surely be fierce competition in the Battlegod Tomb. I hope that this Bloodhunter doesn't kill innocent people, at least he went after people from the Xue family and has the status of a bounty hunter. He should not be someone from the Dark Coalition!"

Everyone had different thoughts, but they were all thinking about Qin Feng.

Meanwhile, the moment Qin Feng stepped through the gate, his sight shifted.

Translator's Note 1: 'Tieh' is directly pronounced from the Chinese word '铁', meaning 'steel' or 'metal'. Tieh Lei could be read as 'Honest/Sincere Steel' in English.

Translator's Note 2: While the original version for this would be directly translated to 'Red-Tassel Spear'(红缨枪), the direct word for this weapon would simply be 'Qiang'(枪) as it means 'Spear' in Chinese.

Also, an épée is a weapon used in fencing. A kind of heavy rapier with a sharp pointed end
