Chapter 229 - 365-375

Chapter 365: Catching Yan Fang

The punch was so powerful that it almost broke Yan Fang's intestines.

As the attack was too sudden, Yan Fang was not able to produce his internal energy shield fast enough to resist the attack.

"Ouch!"

Yan Fang spurted a mouthful of blood.

When he was about to control his internal force to resist Qin Feng's attack, for some reason, he felt that his internal force was drawn out into Qin Feng's fist.

For a time, Yan Fang felt the internal force in his meridians flowing backward, and his entire body twitched uncontrollably.

The eight water pools of his internal force were all siphoned off by Qin Feng.

Yan Fang's liver and gall bladder began to break.

"You… what have you done!" Yan Fang did not expect Qin Feng to actually strike so viciously, and his moves were so unpredictable.

His internal force was emptied out!

Yan Fang clearly felt that the space in his dantian was actually shrinking, and his cultivation had regressed!

Yan Fang was shocked when he realized that Qin Feng had actually disabled his ancient warrior strength.

"What've I done? I just wanted you to have a drink of your own water!" Qin Feng snickered.

With a wave of his hand, the water battle that was previously placed on the ground by Yan Fang appeared in Qin Feng's hand.

Yan Fang stared at it with his mouth wide open.

Qin Feng did not give Yan Fang the chance to refuse and grabbed hold of his cheeks so that his mouth would stay open.

"Argh!"

Yan Fang tried to resist, but Qin Feng's strength was too great!

With his internal force nullified, Yan fang was unable to shake off Qin Feng with his flailing arms even though Qin Feng did not have control over his body.

With Qin Feng having the strength and body of a beast king, and with Yan Fang's lack of internal force, even if he took a knife out now, he would not be able to pierce through Qin Feng's skin with it.

"Arghh…argh…"

Water was poured forcefully into Yan Fang's mouth to the point where he choked and spurted water through his nostrils. At least half a bottle of water was poured into Yan Fang's tummy.

Qin Feng finally loosened his grip on Yan Fang's cheeks.

"So, what've I done? Did I make you throw up?"

Qin Feng stepped on Yan Fang's hand.

"If you're not guilty, why did you spit out the water?"

Yan Fang was in a mess.

His body was trembling hard, and he was afraid that something might happen next.

However, some time passed and Yan Fang found that he had not changed much, and he became arrogant again.

"Qin Feng, I know you disliked me ever since the first time we met, you're just deliberately screwing with me. Are you happy now that I've lost my internal force? I didn't expect you to be this sinister!"

I was as though Yan Fang had poured a bucket of sh*t on top of Qin Feng, making everyone else slightly suspicious of Qin Feng's action as well.

It was true that Yan Fang had not changed much, but this was because Yan Fang had made some genetic mutation on himself before this.

In fact, Yan Fang was desperately trying to maintain control over his body so his body would not change.

When Qin Feng let go of him, Yan Fang was thinking of leaving the scene with the excuse of being angry, and then he would think of other ways to suppress his transformation.

It was only that Qin Feng would not give him the chance.

"Is it because the effect is slower or the dosage wasn't large enough?"

Qin Feng sneered as he raised his hand.

Using his consciousness, the water bottles that Yan Fang had previously distributed to the others now fell into Qin Feng's hands.

The expression on Yan Fang's face became distorted.

"It's just water, what are you so afraid of?"

Qin Feng sneered again.

Yan Fang let out a roar. In the blink of an eye, his limbs were covered in pitch-black fur, and his palms had turned into feline paws.

He might not have his internal force anymore, but he still had his physical strength.

Yan Fang forcefully broke away from Qin Feng's grip and was about to make his escape in that instant.

After witnessing such a scene, the people around them were instantly confused.

It was too much of a change.

"The water had been poisoned?"

Chen Xiang instantly roared.

Moreover, this time there was no need for Qin Feng to issue a command to the people around him. All of them immediately intercepted Yan Fang.

"Scram!"

Mutants did not need internal strength. After Yan Fang had become a mutant, his strength had skyrocketed to the level of a beast general. Besides, he was a D8-tier himself, so it would not be easy to stop him.

The people who impulsively chased behind him were ripped open by Yan Fang's claws.

Boom!

Their internal force barrier shattered following the claw swipe.

Qin Feng had his internal force set in motion and his Dragon Steps unleashed to catch up to Yan Fang.

Yan Fang was so taken aback that he could not care less about the others. With a single leap, he jumped high up and landed on top of a tall building.

Then, his moves were speedier and more agile, and he began to run frantically like a wild cheetah.

Did he really think it would be that easy to shake Qin Feng off his tracks?

"Fiery Peacock Wings!"

Blue flames erupted from Qin Feng's back and turned into two wings, propelling Qin Feng forward.

Yan Fang was clearly heading toward the town's outskirts.

The walls surrounding Shadong Town were not any weaker than the other city walls. In fact, they were even sturdier, taller and wider. Yan Fang did not think about jumping over the walls to escape, so he headed toward the eastern city gate along the way.

Only at this time, there were seven or eight people at the eastern gate, studying the spatial blockade.

Yan Fang's sudden appearance made them jump.

Then, a ball of blue flame struck the ground.

Boom!

It was Qin Feng's peacock fire!

The fiery peacock was so powerful that it exploded directly on Yan Fang's body, knocking him out of the ground and causing searing burns all over his body.

His escape plan was ruined!

Qin Feng stepped forward with the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand.

"Burning Sword Glare!"

A ten-meter flame blade erupted from the blade, swallowing Yan Fang whole.

Yan Fang stared with widened eyes as he rolled over to avoid the fire.

Only, Qin Feng's sword glare was too quick. Although Yan Fang dodged the flames, one of his hands was still on the ground the moment he rolled over when the flames struck.

It was his paw, covered in black fur with sharp claws.

It was Yan Fang's hand after his mutation.

"Argh!"

Yan Fang shrieked in pain as he watched Qin Feng slash toward him again.

Hou Yangsheng and Tieh Xin watched the entire scene, completely clueless of the situation.

"What's going on? Wasn't Yan Fang just fine earlier?"

"Qin Feng, what's going on here?" Hou Yangsheng asked, frowning.

An idea flashed in Yan Fang's mind. "Mr Hou, Qin Fang is a murderer! He poisoned my water, that's why I turned out like this!" He shouted.

The expression on Hou Yangsheng and the others' faces suddenly changed!

They looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.

But Qin Feng did not care about them at all, and he was closing in on the distance between him and Yan Fang!

"Yan Fang, since you're heading outside, could it be that you've the key to the spatial blockade?"

Yan Fang shouted in panic and fear, "No, Mr Hou, save me!"

Desperation filled Yan Fang's eyes as everyone took a step back. No one, not even Hou Yangsheng, came forward to save him.

Who dared to save him?

Qin Feng had killed a C-tier ancient warrior, who was the first-generation head of an ancient warrior family. A family that was passed down for hundreds of years in the Four Cities of the North Sea, whose ancestors had also survived the big catastrophe!

Hou Yangsheng felt that even his own family would not be able to stop Qin Feng, let alone himself.

With each step Qin Feng took, the flames on his saber began to die down.

He slashed horizontally with the saber.

"Argh!" Yan Fang screamed as his legs were completely severed.

"Yan Fang, tell me, are you in the same league with the Z Organization?"

Qin Feng approached a little closer. His voice was encased with his internal strength as he asked.

The twisted expression on Yan Fang's face was frozen.

Chapter 366: Conspiracy Uncovered

"How did you know?" Yan Fang stared at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng snickered at the question. This time, there was no need for him to use his internal force!

Qin Feng felt that before his rebirth, Shadong Town's unsuspected disappearance was probably related to the C-tier aptitude user outside.

But that would not be the case now.

With Qin Feng here, he might not be able to kill the C-tier user, but at least he could hold him off.

The news regarding the destruction of Shadong Town would have probably spread to the Human Alliance by now

If that were the case, what was there to hide?

Qin Feng felt that by now, it was getting harder and harder to uncover the truth about the Z Organization. There were too few clues, so it was better to let the Human Alliance handle it.

"You guys really got ahead of yourselves, huh? You have so many labs located in the Three Cities along the Sun, and now you're stirring up trouble in the Four Cities of the North Sea. Did you really think that you didn't leave any traces behind?"

Yan Fang's face turned pale.

He now understood that Qin Feng knew what their plan was.

"Qin Feng, I regret my actions. I should've warned them to only carry out the plan after your departure from the city!"

"Yeah, without me, you guys might have actually succeeded!"

That was because before his rebirth, their plan had really succeeded.

"Qin Feng, don't you think that we've failed now! We still have cards to play, and we've power that you can never imagine!"

"Power that I can never imagine? You mean your trump card is a C-tier aptitude user?" Qin Feng replied blandly.

Yan Fang was shocked!

Just then, he laughed out loud.

"Qin Feng, since you already know, why don't you start running? I do have the key to open the Spatial Blockade with me, but I can only allow one person to leave. How about you take it and leave, and I'll ask my bosses to leave you alone!"

"Do you think it's possible?"

"Qin Feng, don't forget, our organization is very strong. Even if you've killed Xue Jinkuang, do you really think you can kill a C2-tier beast king aptitude user?"

Qin Feng's pupil shrank for a moment once he heard what Yan Fang had said.

A C-tier king user!

Such a strong and powerful user.

No wonder Yan Fang was acting so arrogantly now.

A mutant with such strength was indeed not easy to deal with.

However, all of this had changed because of one person.

To be more precise, it was because of an ultra beast!

Bai Li!

Bai Li's current strength just so happened to be a C-tier beast emperor!

As such, Qin Feng was feeling confident.

"Just because I'm not able to kill him now, doesn't mean I won't be able to do that later in the future. As for you, it's better for you to become my prisoner!"

Qin Feng locked his consciousness onto Yan Fang, dragging the half-dead opponent with him.

Hou Yangsheng and Tieh Xin looked at each other as they watched Qin Feng walk away.

"We should follow Qin Feng. Now, it seems that there will be an ambush outside!"

"It's not necessarily safe to go out now, maybe they are killing every witness to this catastrophe. If that's the case, it's a good idea to follow Qin Feng."

"We should go now so we don't get left behind!"

These people had also returned to the plaza of the mall that Qin Feng had chosen.

This time, there was a group of mutants that had been laid in front of the mall, and with just a quick glance, there were already more than thirty of them!

Bai Li happened to be there too.

"Bai Li, come over to interrogate him!"

Qin Feng pointed at Yan Fang.

The others came forward to see what was happening. After all, what happened before was simply too suspicious to them. Yan Fang had transformed into a mutant just by taking a sip of the water, and for this, they felt that something fishy was going on.

While these people were thinking of ways to interrogate Yan Fang, Bai Li already had control over Yan Fang with her consciousness.

Yan Fang's internal strength was nullified, and his consciousness was weakened when he was in his mutant body.

Soon, every part of the plan from the poisoning, the mutation, and the plans afterward were all revealed.

Everyone took in a deep gulp of air.

Qin Feng was listening at the side in silence.

In fact, the more he learned about the Z Organization, the more he felt that it was no longer a personal matter.

The organization was very dangerous.

This time, the destruction of Shadong Town was probably just one of the organization's many schemes.

The poisoning of Shadong Town's reservoir was delayed for six hours. Moreover, there were accidents and many people had become experimental subjects.

The experimental subjects the Z Organization were studying were getting stronger and stronger.

At the very beginning, the mutant that Qin Feng had encountered still required a lot of complex experiments to modify the gene structure of the mutant's body.

Now, they did not require such processes!

"No wonder I'm fine. Last night, I ate some food outside, but nothing happened to me!" An aptitude user said in relief.

"I did drink some of the water, but it did not have any reaction to my body!" Another aptitude user said with a worried expression.

"I… I did have some reaction to it, but I did not completely lose my consciousness! Maybe, this is the type of positive result the organization was trying to achieve," said another aptitude user.

When one person started to speak up, the others naturally followed suit as well. They were all like Han Nuan, who suddenly had the power to summon an energy ultra beast.

This success probability.

Was ridiculously low.

Surprisingly, there were ten of them among the group.

That amounted to a one in two hundred chance of success among these subjects.

The Z Organization had just taken human lives to fulfil their experimental research.

This kind of research was something only a dark organization would do!

"Earlier, what was the C-tier aptitude user going to do to us? Take us away?"

This matter had clearly started to worry them.

Qin Feng thought of the message he had gotten before his rebirth and made a guess, "Kill the witnesses, take those who should be taken away."

The expression on everyone's face changed.

"That means, we should unite, and with Brother Qin and Princess Bai on our side, there's no need for us to be afraid," said Chen Xiang.

"As for the injured, if they have regained their human form, quickly treat their wounds so after that they can have the strength to escape on their own!" Qin Feng said as everyone had their eyes set on him. Qin Feng understood that they were all waiting for him to make up his mind.

Qin Feng was the one in charge.

"Search the town and see if there are any hover copter's left. Put the injured there, and once the people from the organization come in, you guys have to immediately split up and run!"

"Run out and be sure to report the case to the Human Alliance so they can send people here to deal with this matter. After all, the well-being of Shadong Town does affect the safety of the Four Cities of the North Sea, and safety is crucial to them!"

"Of course, you yourselves have to make up your own mind. After all, those who're injured may also develop a little bit of mutation in the future, but I hope you do not use this power to do things that go against the Human Alliance in the future. When that happens, not just the Human Alliance, even I will never forgive you!"

There was a hint of murderous tone in Qin Feng's words.

These people had their fate changed because of Qin Feng's rebirth, and Qin Feng certainly did not want to have some kind of mutant alliance existing in the future.

***

At this moment, outside the town of Shadong, a large airliner was parked with hundreds of people being loaded up into the cargo area.

Inside the airliner, there were various weird-looking chairs, but all of them had chains and belts to restrain a human body.

Obviously, the Z Organization had come prepared.

"Lord Yan, I'm afraid things did not go as planned inside Shadong Town right now!"

"What's going on?" Yan Shuo frowned.

As a C-tier aptitude user, he did not like having his plans ruined by surprises.

"We've not received any report from Yan Fang for quite a long time!"

Yan Shuo's face changed.

The relationship between Yan Fang and Yan Shuo was not that simple. They were very close, because Yan Fang was his biological little brother.

Chapter 367: Guo Geng Goes Ahead

Yan Shuo lived in the shadows but Yan Fang had been lurking in Shadong Town this entire time, he even had an identity in the Human Alliance.

Judging by his capabilities, if Yan Fang could become a C-Tier, he could have entered the higher levels of the Human Alliance.

But now, there was no news from the other!

"Maybe I should go myself, and see what's happened!" Yan Shuo said.

The higher ups rarely acted on their own, all they needed was to issue a command and there would be more people willing to help

"Then I'll go!" Guo Geng volunteered, obviously trying to curry flavor with Yan Shuo.

"Right, maybe we should try to bring Yan Fang back. Right now, Shandong Town is filled with mutants. Previously, Hu Liang had a genetic mutation outburst and I'm afraid that the explosion might have destroyed many of our experiments. Who knows if there will be other accidents that might happen!"

Yan Shuo was still very nervous regarding his own little brother.

"Don't worry Sir Yan, I will complete this mission!"

Guo Geng got off the plane after he finished speaking and headed toward Shadong Town.

At this time, Shadong Town was surrounded by one meter wide transmitters that emitted a silver light that covered the entire town. The inside was completely sealed off, only those with special equipment could enter or exit.

Guo Geng was outside, fiddling about with a few buttons on a transmitter's panel.

The silver light suddenly revealed a two meter high and one meter wide space.

Shadong Town was in that space!

Guo Geng appeared just outside of the eastern town wall. With internal force flowing through his legs, he ran up the wall and hopped into the town.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not kill Yan Fang. He kept him alive so he could be handed off to the Human Alliance to be dealt with, maybe they could get some useful information out of him. Qin Feng did not have the time to properly interrogate him anyway.

After a busy day, Bai Li had managed to escort back all of the alive but wounded D-tiers in Shadong Town.

But there were a few that were probably still in hiding.

For example, Qin Feng remembered seeing Yang Xiao, who had turned into a snake person.

Because of some crossed boundaries, the other did not really trust him!

"What's the situation now?"

Qin Feng asked a Water ability user who was busy inspecting people.

"There are fifty people who have returned to their original forms. From what I've gathered, their condition's not so good, they're weak and are suffering from overexertion. Even after getting healed, I'm afraid their strength will be drastically lower!"

Qin Feng nodded, how could there be no side effects of such a tyrannical experiment?

"Roar!"

The beastman beside him suddenly bellowed and when Qin Feng turned to look, he realized it still had a vaguely human face. A familiar face.

"Lei Chen!" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, not expecting to see him.

At this time, Lei Chen's eyes were bloodshot with depravity and bloodlust. All he could think of was wanting to kill Qin Feng.

It seemed that Lei Chen's hatred toward Qin Feng had reached the point of instinct. Even after suffering from such serious injuries, he was still trying to fight.

Qin Feng sneered, pumping internal force into his hand and chopping at the top of Lei Chen's head.

Crack!

The sound of Lei Chen's skull breaking could be heard upon impact, then blood began to slide down his mutated hair.

Lei Chen was slain!

Qin Feng pulled his hand away and shook it instinctively. Since there was internal force around his hand, there would not have been any blood on it.

"This one's too far gone and can't be saved, so I decided to deal with it," he said.

The Water ability user nodded, looking at Qin Feng with wide eyes.

"Right, I understand!"

After making a round, Qin Feng looked at the general situation. Those who had been injured would revert back to normal in about half an hour, those who had stayed in their forms for more than two hours were at the point of no return.

The probability for that was fifty-fifty. In other words, this plot had directly caused the deaths of a hundred and more D-tier aptitude users in Shadong Town.

This kind of lethality would cause an uproar.

"Move those who have changed back into humans inside and let them rest!"

It was already starting to get dark, it was not right to just leave injured people lying on the ground.

Those who were not injured began to help out, the only person that nobody was paying attention to was Yan Fang.

All his limbs had been broken, but the bleeding was stopped by the Water ability user. However, with an empty dantian and the lethargy of having transformed into a beast previously, he was pretty much a cripple at this moment.

A cripple with a very powerful C-tier older brother.

At this time Guo Geng had also come along to see the scene of the mall that Qin Feng was in and witnessed the mess and chaos.

"Sir Yan, Shadong Town's aptitude users have defeated all of the mutated experiments and put them into a small square. There are about one hundred and fifty subjects, some of them have turned back into humans.It looks like they're the first level of the mature forms!"

Guo Geng understood that the first stage mutants came in different forms, there was the immature form, the mature form and the perfect form.

Lin Wuyi was obviously considered as the perfect form. Mature forms could turn into beasts and immature forms could not even turn back into their human state.

Now with so many mature forms lying around, this would be very helpful to the experiment.

The most important thing was that now that these people were weak, they could be easily taken away!

This was actually quite convenient!

"Do you see any second level experiment forms?"

"Sir, the characteristics of the second level experiments are not exposed. It's hard to investigate right now!"

"Hmm, understood. Proceed."

Yan Shuo knew that the second level was merely just theory and conjecture, whether or not they could manifest was an entirely different story!

It was then that Guo Geng suddenly let out a gasp.

"Sir! I found Yan Fang, he…he…" Guo Geng could not believe what he was seeing and at the same time felt extremely angry.

This was not the kind of anger that one would feel if they see their friends get dropped.

No, it was because Yan Fang was injured too severely. If such a cripple was saved, he was afraid that he would not get Yan Shuo's praise.

He had promised to bring Yan Fang back earlier, but how could he bring him back like this?

"What's wrong? What happened to Yan Fang?" Yan Shuo asked in a serious tone, his heart beginning to sink.

But he did not receive anything else from the other side.

From the darkness, someone had suddenly appeared next to Guo Geng.

It was Qin Feng.

"Guo Geng!"

Qin Feng naturally recognized the person. His consciousness had reached a terrifying level, without releasing it he could detect anything unusual around him. Guo Geng was being sneaky and that ended up drawing Qin Feng's attention.

Dark Shroud had allowed Qin Feng to approach without being seen.

As soon as his name was called out, Guo Geng jumped and was taken aback. He quickly backpedaled away, looking at Qin Feng.

He did not recognize Qin Feng, only knowing that the other knew his identity. An identity that was not something that should be spoken about openly.

The head of the Desert Eagle Group, a member of the Dark Coalition.

"Boy, you shouldn't have approached me. You should have run away the moment you saw me!"

Chapter 368: Tailing Out Of Town

Qin Feng's features made him seem like he was barely an adult!

Guo Geng believed that this person was not very strong.

Plus, Qin Feng had previously come back from meditating in the Battlegod Tomb and was wearing casual clothes, not his combat uniform. He was not even wearing his D-tier aptitude user badge.

Guo Geng did not hesitate, letting out a cruel chuckle as he quickly appeared right in front of Qin Feng with a single step.

In the next moment, his hand was already reaching toward Qin Feng's neck.

Guo Geng compared killing this boy to be the equivalent of butchering a chick. However, he would soon realize that Qin Feng was not some new-born fledgling farm bird.

Qin Feng made his move as well, striking out with a fist wreathed in internal force toward Guo Geng.

The other's smile faded, there was something in his conscience that told him that something was awry.

"Metal Arm!"

His internal force was quickly activated but in that rush, he was not able to activate his internal force barrier so he could only cover his arm in internal force and spread it over his palm before trying to intercept Qin Feng.

Clang!

Qin Feng's fist slammed into Guo Geng's arm

It felt like hitting a piece of solid metal, even causing the sound when metal gets punched, but this metal would not have been enough to resist Qin Feng's attack and instantly got bent.

A look of pain flashed across Guo Geng's face.

Crack!

His arm was broken.

The internal force in his body could not help him maintain his balance and he was immediately sent flying by this massive blow.

Boom!

He crashed into an already shaky building behind him and caused it to collapse.

That looked like it hurt!

"Bastard!"

Since Qin Feng did not use his full power, Guo Geng did not realize how strong Qin Feng was. He only thought that he had underestimated this young person.

Click! His arm realigned itself before he radiated internal force in order to shield himself from additional attacks.

"Kid, you're going to die today!" Guo Geng roared. "And if you survive, then what lies ahead is unending torture! After all, there must be secrets in you that are worth studying!"

Qin Feng sneered, radiating his own internal force and revealing that he was as strong as a D-tier ancient warrior.

Guo Geng's expression fell for a moment before ferocity fervently reignited.

He pulled out his weapons. They were a pair of daggers.

Guo Geng was skilled in assassination.

Suddenly, he disappeared from where he was standing. This was ten times faster than when he tried to kill Qin Feng.

This was Guo Geng in his combat state.

In the blink of an eye, he had already flanked Qin Feng's left side. His daggers flashed with a cold glint as he stabbed at his target.

Pop!

The internal force shield suddenly vibrated.

Clank clank clank!

Guo Geng's daggers moved quickly and left an afterimage behind as they danced around Qin Feng's shield. Under such an attack, his shield was quickly shattered in the blink of an eye.

That only took a second. That was fast!

By then, Qin Feng had already turned his head to look at Guo Geng. The daggers were going for Qin Feng's neck and it seemed like his head was going to get removed!

He raised a hand and flames burst out from his palm.

"Firebeam!"

This one meter wide Firebeam looked like it had been shot out by an energy cannon. After absorbing the fire diamonds, Qin Feng's Fire ability had gotten even more powerful.

The Firebeam was quickly sent out but it had a strong explosive force and this was not even Qin Feng's most powerful move.

It was like slaughtering chicken, all Qin Feng did was casually wave his hand!

Boom!

The flames exploded, instantly shattering the shield around Guo Geng and colliding with his body. The violent burning sensation of the flaming attack seared through his combat uniform, destroying it instantly.

Guo Geng was sent flying again.

"An ability user!"

Guo Geng did not expect his enemy to be an ability user either. That punch just now was definitely an ancient warrior's punch!

This time, Qin Feng gave chase.

"Fiery Peacock!"

A wave of blue flame rushed forward, like a pair of blue peacock wings spreading out to embrace Guo Geng.

But Guo Geng did not want to accept such a hug.

"Mutated blue flame, you're Qin Feng!"

He was shocked, but the pain from the Firebeam attack had not faded. His form flickered and he disappeared from the spot.

Boom!

The Fiery Peacock attack slammed into the ground and caused a large pothole on the road.

Guo Geng was not planning on staying, already having turned around to escape.

Naturally, he had heard of Qin Feng.

Even if he was hidden in Wangbei Village conducting experiments, he knew about the news regarding Tangshan Ridge as well as the destruction of the Xue family. He just did not expect to meet Qin Feng here.

Since he had not seen it with his own eyes, he did not believe Qin Feng was as strong as they said.

Snatching away the Blue Flame Peacock Emperor at Tangshan Ridge was just good luck and killing the Xue family's Xue Jinkuang might have been because Xue Jinkuang was old.

But now, he understood that neither of those were flukes.

He was facing Qin Feng himself and had no power to fight back!

Now he could only think of escaping! He did not even care about Yan Fang anymore.

He was good at stealth based ancient martial arts, it was a kind of diversion technique. He took advantage of the urban surroundings and quickly escaped Shadong Town.

"Whew!"

He only felt relieved when he realized that Qin Feng was not behind him.

"I'll report to Sir Yan, seeing Yan Fang being injured like that would definitely make Qin Feng a dead man!"

He might as well be seeking vengeance for himself!

"Ugh!" Guo Geng gasped. The injury on his abdomen was too serious. That was only just one Firebeam attack!

He pulled out a silver light rune equipment from his spatial rune equipment and tapped the spatial barrier. The barrier opened up a small door in the blink of an eye.

As Guo Geng walked out, a black shadow followed him out as well.

"Heh," Qin Feng chuckled, revealing himself.

Guo Geng was shocked, turning his head to suddenly find Qin Feng only a meter behind him!

His eyes widened in fear, leaning back as he started to hop about ten meters away before sitting down on the ground.

If anyone else were to have seen this D-tier ancient warrior's reaction, they would be rolling on the floor with laughter.

This time, Qin Feng ignored Guo Geng.

"Firebeam!"

Another burst of fire. This beam of fire had a range of thirty meters and it was targeted at a barrel shaped machine.

The spatial runes inside this barrel were very precious and they were used to seal off spaces.

Boom!

The machine suddenly exploded!

Under the night sky, silver light flashed again and again. It was hard to not pay attention to it.

Although there was also a signal jammer, Qin Feng had other methods of communication.

"Bai Li, tell the others to evacuate!"

"On it!"

The two had a contract that bound their souls together, the news was quickly transmitted.

Guo Geng was taken aback by Qin Feng destroying the machine. The noise was so loud that it was definitely going to attract other people.

"Qin Feng, just you wait!" Guo Geng flickered away, wanting to escape again!

Chapter 369: Organization Z's Chimera Corps

"Did you think you could get away?"

Qin Feng's tone was cold and mocking. He had let Guo Geng escape earlier because he wanted to follow him out of town. Although he could have asked Bai Li to do it, doing it himself felt more justifiable and reasonable.

Also, seeing Guo Geng's pride crumble away into despair was entertaining.

Guo Geng was still in a frantic dash forward, but Qin Feng appeared next to him in an instant.

"Dragon Steps!"

His internal force wrapped around him to form the face of a dragon as he rushed forward.

He raised a hand and struck out with a palm.

"Dragon Slam!"

Boom!

Guo Geng's internal force shield instantly shattered.

"Gah!"

He watched as Qin Feng struck another palm out. If this second attack were to hit, even if it did not kill him it would probably rip his skin off.

"You've forced my hand!"

There was a flash of madness in Guo Geng's eyes, his body began to go through rapid changes as scales began to form over his skin.

Qin Feng's hand struck against Guo Geng's body.

Snap!

He sent Guo Geng flying again, but his opponent's body was still changing as it soared through the air. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a monster plated with scales.

It was in fact a Scaled Tiger.

Not only that, Guo Geng's aura was not like the aura of the beast generals that the D-tiers in Shadong Town were forced to transform into. On the contrary, he had the aura of a Beast King!

In an instant, Guo Geng's power had increased exponentially.

"Die!"

He launched himself forward with hands that have become tiger claws. The claws seemed to have been mutated as well, each of them being thirty centimeters long and were as sharp as the daggers he wielded.

As Guo Geng launched his attack, Qin Feng did not dodge. The two instantly clashed with one another.

Boom! Bang! Boom! Clang! Boom!

He was planning on taking this head on.

So what if he was fighting a mutant beast king, he had the physical power of a beast emperor. Qin Feng did not even need to draw his saber.

Physical clashes were in his favor.

By then, because of the waves caused by this battle, the people from the passenger plane had already come down!

It was Yan Shuo and more than a dozen D-tier aptitude users.

Qin Feng's consciousness automatically detected them and these people had also locked onto Qin Feng.

He ended up grabbing Guo Geng by the neck.

"Die!"

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

"Repulsion!"

A huge pulse of energy was sent out at an odd angle which tore through Guo Geng's neck. This wave of force ended up literally blowing the once-man into pieces, a large blood splatter was all there was where Guo Geng once stood. The people watching the cruel scene were terrified by this act.

The remaining mutants of the Organization Z were all taken aback.

Guo Geng was a rare beast king mutant, but he was torn apart by this D-tier person with their bare hands.

This filled their hearts with the fear of Qin Feng.

But for the C-tier, what he saw was Qin Feng trying to provoke him.

He knew he was coming and he killed his henchman to intimidate him.

"You wretch!"

Yan Shuo's eyes were filled with sullen anger.

He took a step forward and was about to order his underlings to shoot Qin Feng.

But all of a sudden there was a flash of silver light that appeared over the battlefield.

The flash of silver light beamed toward Yan Shuo.

His pupils shrank as his senses told him that he was in a very dangerous situation.

In an instant, the light made him feel like he was standing in a hurricane as it rapidly revolved around him and caused black spatial cracks to appear.

These cracks directly hit his body.

Crack-krick!

His internal force shield was instantly ripped apart!

"What?!"

He quickly took a step back out of sheer shock.

The attack was too fast for him and the scratches from the silver hurricane began to show. His chest and thighs had rips in them that were bleeding profusely and in some places, the flesh on his body looked like they had been cleanly gouged out.

Then came the severe pain.

When the hurricane ceased, a girl with a silver whip and a devastatingly beautiful face revealed herself!

Bai Li had arrived.

Not only that, behind Bai Li was the hum of multiple hover copters. There looked to be seven to eight of them.

They were not flying in one direction, instead they were all scattering in different directions.

Even the C-tier Yan Shuo felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the scene.

This had gone completely out of hand, this was not part of his plans!

How was he going to conduct experiments if all of the subjects managed to escape?!

What was more, if the news got out, the Human Alliance would likely not be showing any mercy.

"Destroy them!"

Killing these people was a priority, Yan Shuo did not plan on letting them go.

Upon hearing this, three of the mutants near him began to pull out their artillery cannons to take aim at the fleeing hover copters.

"Do you think I'm already dead?"

Qin Feng pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber.

The blade burned with blue flames as Qin Feng's body got covered by black runes.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from where he was.

"Dark Shadow!"

"Seize him!"

The gunner mutant had a bad feeling, like death was just around the corner.

When facing Qin Feng, the others were not confident in beating him and because of that they decided to take this seriously.

In the next moment, they all began to transform!

In the blink of an eye, all of the aptitude users who had the ability to maintain a human form had transformed into inhuman monsters.

A Mountain-Shaking Bear, a Golden Python, a Crystalline Steel Ant—these were all beast kings.

A Bloodthirsty Jackal, a Black Plague Cat, a Thunder Wolf, a Sand Lizard, these all had the auras of beast generals.

With a troop of men with this kind of power, there was no enemy on the field that could be a threat.

Unfortunately, creatures of different species did not have human hearts. These people no longer thought that they were humans anymore!

"Chaaaaarge!!!"

They all launched themselves at Qin Feng.

It was a pity that their combined attacks would not be enough against Qin Feng's unpredictability.

The Dark Shadow allowed Qin Feng to instantly appear beside the three gunners who had raised their guns, standing back to back with their guns raised.

"Die!"

Qin Feng violently erupted upon his arrival.

A blue flame instantly pierced through one of the gunner's bodies. In that blue flame was an extremely sharp saber.

It was the Verdant Emperor Saber.

"Tat-tat!"

The hand cannon that the gunner held fell to the ground before it could be fired.

It was the other two that managed to pull the trigger.

Boom! Boom!

Energy bombs were shot out of the cannons' muzzles, flaring with a bright fluorescent light.

Unless there were high intensity weapons on the hover copters, there was no way they would be able to have a counterattack. There was no way for them to withstand the blast too.

The two bombs chased after the hover copters!

"Turn!"

Qin Feng's consciousness burst out and caught up with the two bombs, causing the bombs to shift awkwardly in one direction before colliding into the ground.

Ka-Boom! Ka-Boom!

Two huge explosions came one after the other and there was a strong tremor that rocked the ground!

At this time, the two gunners looked very pale with Qin Feng being so close. Fortunately for them, Qin Feng was focused on the bombs and did not pay attention to them. They took this opportunity to jump back, evading Qin Feng and quickly transforming.

An Aurora Eagle and a Poison-Pack Toad!

Qin Feng was completely surrounded by the Chimera Corps!

Chapter 370: It's One Against Nine

Meanwhile on the other side, Bai Li and Yan Shuo clashed against one another. Bai Li's beast emperor strength ended up forcing Yan Shuo into a retreat.

When he saw that there were nine people surrounding Qin Feng, he let out a yell of anger.

"You're all trash!"

With so many being held back by only one person, all the hover copters had escaped by then.

Since the situation had taken an unexpected turn, the plan had failed!

"Seize him and bring him back to me!" Yan Shuo ordered.

"Who are you planning on catching this time?" Bai Li said with dissatisfaction. He could not face her but still wanted to capture Qin Feng, that idea was enough to provoke her.

Yan Shuo's eyes narrowed, he did not want to show aces he had in his sleeve but it looked to him that he had no choice in the matter.

He abruptly began to mobilize his own strength and in the next instant his body began to give off an intense and terrifying aura.

In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a giant.

Standing at the full height of ten meters tall, as big as a three-storey building.

Boom!

A huge metal rod appeared in his hand, obviously this rod had been kept inside a space before.

This was his strongest mode of combat.

Different from the other mutants, Yan Shuo's mutant form was human. It was dubbed by the Organization Z to be one of the purer bloodlines, known as the Titan Bloodline.

Gigantification!

Yan Shuo's body was massive, the damage caused to him before might as well be mosquito bites at this point. His skin was thick and fleshy and his muscles were tough, it was going to be hard for anyone to directly damage his organs.

"Die!"

He swung his weapon at Bai Li.

His new giant form naturally gave him an advantage against her.

Back at Qin Feng's end, the nine mutants around him quickly launched their attacks.

The Giant Poison-Sac Toad started it off with a blast of concentrated toxin.

Qin Feng was well protected by his internal force shield and did not try to dodge.

"Tornado Cloud!"

He quickly did a spin, unleashing the Secret Overcast Dragon technique and kicked up a raging whirlwind.

His target was not the toad but the Golden Python. It was a creature that could use Light, which made it an immediate threat to him.

The whirlwind shifted, picking up the Golden Python.

Bang bang bang bang!

All the mutants were tossed around and sent flying.

"Asteroid Assimilation! Absorption!"

The Golden Python mutant was attacked by Qin Feng again, but it did not run away.

It felt surprised, it had not expected Qin Feng to attack first and used its internal force to rush toward him. There was fury in its heart as it coiled its body around Qin Feng's.

"Constriction!"

The strongest ability from snake-like ultra beasts, this kind of crushing force was increased a hundredfold when used by the Golden Python.

Creak!

The internal force shield around Qin Feng began to make weird creaking sounds, like a balloon being tightly squeezed as if it was going to burst at any moment!

It was then Qin Feng stabbed forward with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

"Pfft!"

The tip of the blade pierced through the scales of the Golden Python mutant.

No matter how strong the Golden Python was, it did not have the same defensive capabilities as an actual Golden Python. What was more, even if it did, it still would not have been enough to deter the Verdant Emperor Saber.

The actual blade portion had not hit anything in a while since it was merged with the Blue Flame Peacock Emperor's feathers as its flames could burn through almost everything.

And actually getting stabbed by the blade usually leads to expected consequences.

The blade continued to slide into the mutant until it was buried to the hilt.

He activated his consciousness and blue fire began to burst out from the blade.

In the blink of an eye, the Golden Python mutant's skin was covered in flames.

"Argh!"

The mutant let out a scream of pain, its tail loosening its grip around Qin Feng's body as the mutant rolled around on the ground, kicking up dust and dirt when faced with such destructive power.

Qin Feng thought that it was a pity that he did not get to try out a move like that more.

"Die!"

He swung his blade out, stabbing at his target. This time he was aiming for the mutant's head!

The mutant's head was pinned to the ground before the blue flames turned it into ash

The Golden Python mutant had been slain!

The remaining eight mutants all looked at Qin Feng with a mixture of awe and caution.

This time, Qin Feng had a grin on his face!

"You shouldn't have transformed. Now, you don't even have a way of sending out your last message!"

After these people became mutants, they had lost access to their communicators.

If so, who could stop Qin Feng?

At 2 o'clock in the morning, their surroundings were dark and the moon was shining brightly, along with the lights that everyone carried. Not only that, the night vision that they gained after transforming allowed them to see clearly in the dark.

All of that would soon disappear!

"Dark Shroud!"

Qin Feng's entire body abruptly exploded with terrifying dark runes.

He had been carrying the Dark Stone for nine months!

When used, a large quantity of dark runes would send chills down anyone's spine!

The mutants all lost their vision to the darkness.

"What happened?"

They could still hear noises, but their vision was pitch black and their senses felt a little delayed so it was hard to explore this new environment.

Before this, Qin Feng was only just twenty meters away from them. The other mutants might be even closer.

At this time, Qin Feng made his move.

"Dark Ray!"

A denser, more substantial bolt of darkness collided with the Poison-Sac Toad. In an instant, it felt like its body was deprived of its strength and had become extremely weak.

"What is this?!" The mutant exclaimed.

The limbs of the Poison-Sac Toad had not changed much. The main part was that its back had swelled up, giving it a hunch-backed posture and a hump that ripped out of its clothes. There were a number of multicolored poison carrying pustules on its hump and its eyes had widened and bulged out like that of a frog's to give it a better field of vision..

Qin Feng's attack made it very uneasy but he ignored the feeling and began to send the toxins in all directions.

Pop pop pop!

The pustules on its back exploded all at once, sending toxins scattering everywhere around it. The toxins did not land on Qin Feng, instead it landed on everyone else.

"Decaying Rain!"

A terrifying dark vortex formed in the sky before a torrent of black rain started falling.

"Aaah!"

The Poison-Sac Toad that just released its toxins felt the black rain drip onto its back, feeling the severe pain as if its flesh was being melted away, and the dark energy was seeping into its body.

The sheer density of this black rain was like being in the middle of an intense tropical storm.

These eight mutants did not escape at all!

Screams came one after the other.

This drew Yan Shuo's attention, he managed to witness all of this.

"Dark ability!"

Although he was shocked by this, he knew that if he did not help out the backbone of the Organization Z, it would get wiped out!

He swung his iron rod into the air in a spinning motion and sent out a powerful wave of force.

The overwhelming energy it carried abruptly stopped the Decaying Rain!

Chapter 371: Shadong Town Has Disappeared

The Decaying Rain was dispelled, Yan Shuo spun his metal rod again and unleashed a blast of wind that carried enough force to disperse Qin Feng's darkness.

The usage of a high level of power was how Yan Shuo managed to dispel the darkness.

Dark Shroud was not very effective when used against D-tiers, but in this scenario, Qin Feng had the Hellstone, and these D-tiers had turned into ultra beast mutants and lost their internal force shield.

With the darkness dispelled, the eight mutants were revealed to be a sorry sight, they looked miserable with parts of their body having been eaten away by the Decaying Rain.

Yan Shuo gritted his teeth so much that they would crack!

This loss was far too severe!

"Qin Feng, what a troublesome wretch!"

Yan Shuo began to swing his rod in that direction.

"You're supposed to be fighting me!" Bai Li angrily called out in her crisp voice.

"Xiao Bai! No more hiding! We're killing him!"

Qin Feng did not try to evade, his consciousness surging forth.

"Hell Magma!"

Dark red magma began to appear on the ground where the eight mutants stood before they were engulfed by it.

"Magma Pillar!"

Bang bang bang!

Four pillars of magma burst out from the ground, blasting the Bloodthirsty Jackal, Thunder Wolf, Black Plague Cat and Sand Lizard. These four were chosen intentionally.

After they had mutated, they were just at the level of beast generals. They were the weakest ones.

The Decaying Rain had nearly killed them just now. Hell Magma was just to finish them off.

Boom!

The four pillars had completely covered them in magma.

"Aaah!!!" The Bloodthirsty Jackal screamed as its large body sank into the magma, and in the blink of an eye, all that was left after the Magma Pillar attack were bones, before those too sank into the magma.

Dead!

This was the same for the other three, even if they tried to struggle, Qin Feng would knock them back down with his Fire ability.

Now, out of the nine mutants, only four remained of the Chimera Corps!

"How dare you!"

Yan Shuo glared at Qin Feng who had no intention of trying to avoid him and became even angrier. His attack was about to hit Qin Feng's body, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes.

But suddenly, a loud beastial roar rang out, followed by the earth-shaking aura of a beast emperor.

Yan Shuo picked it up instantly, but before he could even turn around to see what had just happened he felt a powerful force and was pushed to the ground.

Swish!

Giant claw marks began to appear on his body.

"Argh!" Yan Shuo cried out. As a Titan mutant, it had been a while since he had been injured while in his mutated form.

At this time, he found out that a similarly large creature had him pinned down with its legs.

It was a pristine and glamorous looking Silver Fox.

Behind it was five soft looking tails that glowed with a halo of silver light.

This halo began to glow brighter as it rushed toward Yan Shuo.

In the next moment, this bundle of silver light expanded to form a large spatial rip.

Yan Shuo's pupils began to shrink, feeling that he was in great danger.

He let out an angry roar and tried to avoid the attack.

Of course, his weapon had been flung away by Bai Li when he tried to attack Qin Feng.

On the other hand, now that Qin Feng was not threatened, he naturally engaged the four beast kings.

"Lets kill him!"

The mutants were worse for wear after being beaten down by Qin Feng's torrent of abilities. None of their ancient martial arts techniques had managed to make a proper dent and five of them had just died!

The Giant Poison-Sac Toad's back split open again. It had used all of its toxins before but this time it shot out black colored blood that carried a vile venom toward Qin Feng.

The Mountain Shaker Bear slammed its palms into the ground, causing multiple spikes made of earth to rush toward Qin Feng.

The Crystalline Steel Ant unleashed a flurry of sword swings and slashing attacks.

The Aurora Eagle burst out with incredible speed for a head on collision.

These were their most effective combat maneuvers, a dangerous meld of their combined forces.

It might have caused their target to flinch, but beyond that, Qin Feng did not suffer from any significant damage.

It was unfortunate that they learned that a bit too late.

He already had the upper hand in this situation.

"Dark Shadow!"

Qin Feng disappeared from where he was.

"Burning Sword Glare!"

"Pfft!"

The head of the Giant Poison-Sac Toad was removed with a swing of his blade.

Dead!

"Fire Dragon Technique!"

The fire dragon instantly wrapped itself around the Crystalline Steel Ant. Its body had been damaged by the Decaying Rain and had lost its impenetrable metal defense.

Being hit by the Fire Dragon Technique only brought it to its knees as the dragon completely engulfed its body.

The shell of the Crystalline Steel Ant had been completely melted.

Dead!

"Fiery Peacock!"

"Blazing Sky!"

Dead!

Another dead!

All four had been slain!

Qin Feng felt a massive wave of energy course through his body.

D3!

He had ranked up once again.

By then, Bai Li had also achieved the upper hand in her confrontation.

Even a mutant with Titan blood could not face something that had such powerful spatial manipulation. With her attacks, she managed to remove his arms and ended up breaking his legs.

"Kill him!" Qin Feng called out, having no intention of letting Bai Li stay her hand.

In the next moment, Yan Shuo's eyes turned blood red and he unleashed a terrifying blast of energy.

"Then we'll all die together!"

He let out a deafening roar!

Boom!

The huge blast of energy, centered on Yan Shuo, spread outward and annihilated everything it made contact with.

Shadong Town's city walls instantly turned into ash and countless buildings were swept away as the blast covered a range of up to ten thousand meters.

Shadong Town had been wiped out. If he had not seen this with his own eyes, Qin Feng would have thought that this place was originally a desert.

There were still plenty of small energy storms gathering in the sky, adding to the turbulent flow of things.

It seemed that even space was made unstable, in the blink of an eye, a massive, jagged rift was ripped open.

Then, a sliver of silver light flickered and two figures stepped into the rift filled scene of chaos.

It was Qin Feng and Bai Li.

Yan Shuo's self destruction did not complete his final wish to take Qin Feng out with him.

Bai Li, being a spatial ultra beast, managed to grab Qin Feng and jump into the Battlegod Tomb without needing to use the Battlegod Token.

During that time, there were explosions happening all over!

After a battle that lasted for two days and two nights, Shadong Town ceased to be!

As the sun rose in the horizon, casting dawn's light upon the earth, it only revealed the desolate desert as there really was only just sand and dust left.

"Control the rifts!" Qin Feng ordered.

"On it!"

Bai Li raised her hand and a beam of silver light locked onto the massive rift. In the blink of an eye, that rift was sealed.

The storm above was still brewing, Qin Feng did not know when but he was certain that new rifts would open up in this area.

But this no longer was something he could deal with!

"Lets go!"

He pulled out the Sky Dweller and flew out of the chaotic churning of energies with Bai Li.

When he tried to scan the area, he found no traces of living things where Shadong Town used to be.

"History might be difficult to change, but it's a good thing a hundred people managed to survive. This isn't a minor change!"

Qin Feng's communicator began to ring at this time.

Chapter 372: Return to Niumeng City

Yan Shuo's self-destruction was devastating!

Even the Four Cities of the Northern Seas received news that an earthquake was happening.

The four cities then sent out their satellites to scan the area. They saw Shadong Town that had been leveled.

Before this, the D-tier who had escaped decrypted the jammed signals and established contact with the ability user alliance to report what had happened.

The event was catastrophic.

It was definitely one of the hardest blows the Dark Coalition had ever delivered.

The innocent people of Shadong Town had died from this assault. They had also lost half of their D-tier ability users. Even Hu Liang, the commander who was sent out by the Human Alliance, had perished!

"Qin Feng, you're alright! That's good news!"

Cheng Siang saw Qin Feng through the communicator. From Qin Feng's surroundings, he immediately knew that he was in the Sky Dweller!

"Where are you guys?" asked Qin Feng.

"We are in Niumeng City, not sure if it's safe here. Qin Feng, what happened just now? Why was there such a tremendous force, we could feel the aftershocks from here!"

"That C-tier blew himself up!" answered Qin Feng.

Chen Siang was stunned.

"And you didn't get hurt at all?"

Qin Feng smiled. "Did you want me to get hurt?"

"Qin Feng, you know I didn't mean that! I'm just very surprised!"

Even Niumeng City felt the impact of the C-tier's self-destruction. The fact that Qin Feng could make it out without a scratch impressed Chen Siang.

Qin Feng did not continue to joke around with Chen Siang. His expressions became solemn.

"How's the situation in Niumeng City? Are they sending anyone out for rescue? What actions are they taking!"

"Actions? You mean…"

"These people have been mutated, they're probably no longer human. Their genes have been damaged and we don't know if they could still train ancient martial arts or if their powers have been reduced. More importantly, what would the Human Alliance do to them!"

At this moment in time, anything could happen.

Chen Siang did not think that far ahead obviously. He contemplated the question seriously after Qin Feng's round of questioning.

"I've heard that some of the D-tiers feel unsafe here and were thinking of leaving!" said Chen Siang. "Should we stop them?"

"Why should we stop them?"

"You've said it previously, some of these people could only make a living if they join the Dark Coalition. Doesn't that mean these people are off to join the Dark Coalition?"

But Qin Feng replied," Let them go. These are the concerns of the Human Alliance, not mine alone. Watch Yan Fang closely, he's a key person!"

The fight had exposed too much of his powers. Even Bai Li had appeared in her beast emperor form. Qin Feng killed Yan Shuo and nine mutants to seal their lips.

Now that all the remaining traces had been shut down, they could only know the full picture through Yan Fang!

"I understand, the Human Alliance is looking at this matter very seriously. The governor may make his return!"

The Four Cities of the Northern Seas all belonged in the same district. There was a leader that oversees the four cities known as the governor.

The governor who oversaw the Four Cities of the Northern Seas was merely a C-tier.

The governor's role was not a cozy one since there were four ancient warrior families within the four cities of the Northern Seas. Each one of their family leaders were C-tiers.

Therefore, the governor was quite powerless.

"Hmm, we'll see about that! Take a rest, Brother Chen, I'll be arriving in Niumeng City soon!"

"Okay, I'm glad that you're coming!"

The two of them broke off their communication. But Qin Feng's communicator rang once again.

It was Han Nuan!

Qin Feng took the call.

Han Nuan was already in her hotel room. There was nobody around her, but she still lowered her voice.

"Sir, are they going to be taken away as test subjects?"

Han Nuan was most concerned about this.

The other D-tiers were more powerful and had more uses. Han Nuan was merely an E-tier, but she was developing well as a mutant. She had a higher research value than the rest of them.

Han Nuan was a little worried.

"Don't worry!" Qin Feng said in a deep voice. He would always protect his subordinates. "Those mutants that have not developed well are more worried than you!"

After all, they would lose their mind once they've mutated. The Human Alliance was afraid that they might cause harm.

"If you're really afraid, you could leave Niumeng City and come to my colony!" Qin Feng offered. "I'll supply all the resources you need to train at Fengli colony!"

Han Nuan was immediately tempted by his offer.

Although Fengli colony was located amongst the Three Cities along the Sun that was not as bountiful as the Four Cities of the Northern Seas, Qin Feng controlled the underground black market there. Naturally, she would not run out of resources there.

Furthermore, once she leaves for Fengli colony, she would no longer be a gun for hire. She would become one of Qin Feng's house ministers!

Qin Feng recognized Han Nuan's abilities.

"Very well Sir, I'll leave for there right away!"

"Good, go now! Remember this number, give him a ring when you reach there!"

Qin Feng gave Han Nuan Xue Xingfu's number.

After Han Nuan's departure, Qin Feng left for Niumeng City.

There was a fixed helipad in Niumeng City. There were eight rickety hover copters there; they must belong to Chen Siang and his friends.

But before that, there was already a D-tier aptitude user waiting there.

When Qin Feng and Bai Li stepped down from the hover copter, the D-tier went to greet them. It was someone they knew.

The Lord of Niumeng City, Meng Lin!

"Finally you're here, Qin Feng!"

Qin Feng was rather surprised to see Meng Lin here. "Lord Meng, I didn't know you would have the time to come find me."

Still, the thought of hundreds of D-tiers flocking to Fengli colony did not sit well with Qin Feng!

"Qin Feng, at times like this, stop teasing me!" replied Meng Lin. He waved his hand and signaled for Qin Feng and Bai Li to get into the car. "I know you have been battling for two days. Lady Bai as well, please, get in the car. We could talk while we send you to the hotel where you can rest."

"Okay!"

Qin Feng led Bai Li to the car. It was a luxurious vehicle with an elongated wheelbase. There was enough space for a small lounge.

Meng Lin was troubled.

"Qin Feng, you sure gave me some trouble."

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. "What trouble did I give, it's the Dark Coalition that has given you the troubles! I am the one who solved your troubles, or you won't see anyone left today!"

Meng Lin felt hopeless. Perhaps he was not ready to face the facts yet.

"Shadong Town destroyed, just like this? What's left for us to do?"

Shadong Town was at the forefront of the desert's boundary. It was the gate that prevented ultra beasts from entering the Four Cities of the Northern Seas.

Now, everything was uncertain.

"You're the Lord of the city, stop saying things like these!" Qin Feng admonished him.

Meng Lin shrugged. "If I had your powers, I wouldn't say those things either. You were able to take down Xue Jinkuang and the C-tier guy from the Dark Coalition. Your power is almost monstrous, no wonder you could tame the Blue Flame Peacock Emperor last time!"

Meng Lin was bitter last time. Now, he could only be impressed by Qin Feng's achievements!

Chapter 373: Governor Gao Yukang

Qin Feng did not say a word. Meng Lin stopped wallowing in self-pity. He quickly continued, "I am now feeling worried that those people would go through some kind of mutation. Qin Feng, I'm afraid I'll need your help to look over those people!"

Meng Lin did not want to show his weaknesses, but his power was incomparable to Qin Feng's.

"Yeah, I will!"

Qin Feng nodded in agreement. The car had arrived at a luxurious hotel located in the city center.

Only a hundred aptitude users stayed in the ten-storey tall hotel building. The other occupants had been evicted!

A tragedy could break out among these people at any moment.

They had arranged for Qin Feng to stay at the presidential suite located on the top floor. He could oversee the people below him anytime.

However, when Qin Feng arrived, he found out that only eighty people remained after scanning the place with his consciousness!

No one knew if more would leave by the next day.

It was out of Meng Lin's hands.

A crowd formed around Qin Feng when he reached the entrance. Leading the crowd was Chen Siang. The rest of them were aptitude users who looked ill and pale.

There were about twenty to thirty people there.

"You're all here to greet me? How are you guys doing?"

"We're fine, we really have you to thank this time around, Mr. Qin!"

They were grateful to Qin Feng.

Some of them could not wait to ask. "Mr. Qin, what happened to the C-tier you were fighting with previously?"

"Didn't Brother Chen tell you?" Qin Feng looked at him and asked.

The man appeared solemn. "I thought it was better to hear it from you in person."

The crowd was worried.

"He's dead!" Qin Feng replied confidently.

Some of them breathed a sigh of relief. But some of them felt even more troubled by the news.

"We've really done it this time, we don't know if there would be more to come!"

The crowd was mostly wounded. Even a D-tier could finish them off right this moment.

It was normal for them to be concerned.

Qin Feng calmly smiled. "I know some things about this organization. They might be bigger than we thought. The C-tier that fought with me is probably not the strongest leader behind the scene. Therefore, it's better if we all stay put in Niumeng City and not wander off on your own."

"But could I still get back to how I was previously?" asked a person in a broken-down tone.

The person was obviously undergoing mutation. He was getting fidgety.

Qin Feng's expression became calm. His eyes became sharp.

"If you think you could make it, you will make it. If you cannot accept it, then the choice is up to you. But you must remember, the Dark Coalition is capturing you to conduct their experiments. You may feel like leaving the Human Alliance to join the Dark Coalition."

Qin Feng went around them in a circle. He continued," What do you think, is the chance of turning you lot into experimental slits higher, or is the chance of letting you people join higher!"

Any way you look at it, the first option was the most likely. It was the original intention of those people.

The crowd grew pale.

"Okay, we'll continue tomorrow when the governor comes. It's better for you to get some rest and tend to your wounds, or you won't even stand a fighting chance! They could come at any moment and there won't be only one C-tier!"

After semi-threatening them, Qin Feng grabbed the key card to his suite and went into the elevator with Bai Li.

Meng Lin had given Qin Feng a super-luxurious presidential suite. It was spacious and filled with extravagant decor. The place was spotless; it was quite possible that the suite had just been refurbished!

That was how Meng Lin went out of his way to treat Qin Feng!

"Qin Feng, it's completely safe here now. Could you tell me what happened?"

Although other people have spoken to Meng Lin as well, he believed Qin Feng's words more.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment. He said, "Perhaps you've never met them before, but I know which Dark Coalition organization this group belongs to!"

Meng Li was stunned.

Speaking of, the members of the Dark Coalition were always in the shadows. They always claimed their successful attacks to further their influences so that more unscrupulous people would join them.

But Meng Lin had never seen something so atrocious and catastrophic as this.

Even a C-tier had made his move. Perhaps the leader behind this cult was much more powerful.

Meng Lin did not dare to imagine it. What was the true strength of the Dark Coalition that it could carry out such a heinous attack?

Qin Feng continued, "They call themselves the Z Organization. There are remnants of them in the Three Cities along the Sun. They've even infiltrated the army legions of major cities. I was able to find out that the attack happened even before the leader of the Desert Eagle Group, Guo Geng, made his move!"

Qin Feng did not foresee how the attack could happen!

Meng Lin's face was turning pale.

"How about Yan Fang? What was that all about?"

"He harbored some grudges against me. I was quite dubious of him when he suddenly offered me water!" Qin Feng was telling half-truths.

But in the end, he told Meng Li about Yan Shuo and his nine mutated test subjects and the power of the beast general and emperor. If they really appeared, it would be a tough fight.

Meng Lin needed some time to take the information in. He then bid his farewell.

"I won't bother you much longer, Qin Feng. You have a good rest!"

"Okay, see you!"

"Right!"

As they bid their farewells, both of them did not expect to see each other the next day. Yet, the very next day, they met again!

When Qin Feng woke up the next morning, he received news of the governor's homecoming!

The governor did not use any vehicle. He came back using a spatial teleportation device.

Each trip would cost tens of millions. Only a C-tier could afford it. It was much more lavish than calling for an airlift at Qin Feng's Fengli colony.

But it was absolutely fast!

The governor of the Four Cities of the Northern Seas was known as Gao Yukang.

A C3 aptitude user at thirty five years old. He had only awakened for a little over ten years, yet he had shown enough potential. He had been the governor of the district for three years.

However, he basically did not handle matters regarding the Four Cities of the Northern Seas.

The Four Cities of the Northern Seas had better resources than the Three Cities along the Sun. However, it was still too little for a C-tier aptitude user. In addition to that, his hands were also tied up by the ancient warrior families. Therefore, he did not care to stay there.

The governor's role was only a formality.

Gao Yukang was young. He had potential. Naturally, he went out to explore.

He came back this time around because the Human Alliance caught wind of the news. The news would affect the governor. Even the A-tiers of the alliance were asking him about it. Therefore, he had no choice but to return.

To allow a D-tier of a small town to develop a poison that could mutate its victim— the possibility of such news breaking out would be devastating.

The most luxurious hotel in Niumeng City had a large hall and some meeting rooms. The aptitude users of Shadong Town came together that afternoon.

Chapter 374: A Decorated General?

Qin Feng scanned the area hastily. He knew how many came to attend.

Only four to five people had left last night after his speech. There were eighty two D-tiers in total at the hotel now.

The mood was a little gloomy. No one spoke a word.

A while later, a person came into the meeting room.

The man appeared very youthful, good-looking even. Most aptitude users saw thirty-five-year-olds as youths.

The man looked no more than twenty six or twenty seven. He had an air of nobility around him. He was tall and well-built. He did not hide his aura, which pressured the people around him.

Gao Yukang, a gold element ability user, C3-tier.

He strode to the stage in front and overlooked the crowd. His consciousness level was so powerful that people thought they were being locked on by his sight!

Qin Feng furrowed his brows. He then felt relaxed. He did not speak much.

However, Gao Yukang's appearance made the rest uneasy. They dare not speak as well.

The aptitude users below became fearful.

"I've heard the news. The Human Alliance places great emphasis on this matter. We will deliver swift justice to the criminals that you have captured!"

Qin Feng and the rest did not say anything. It was obvious that Gao Yukang did not allow them to voice their opinions.

"What happened has already happened. What we must do now is to recuperate our losses and plan for the worst!"

"We must rebuild Shadong Town! That is of utmost importance."

Gao Yukang's sight fell on Qin Feng unknowingly. Qin Feng furrowed his brows once again. He felt that something would happen.

Gao Yukang continued on. "Since we're shorthanded for now, you might be sent out to the frontlines once again. There may be those of you who remain healthy here, there may be those who have undergone a positive genetic mutation here. The Human Alliance calls for your unwavering support!"

"Since there are so many wounded, the Human Alliance has sent in ten D-tier doctors over to help you heal. They will check up on your health at certain times. Of course, the venue will be at the newly-established Shadong Town."

"Now, let me announce your next mission!"

Gao Yukang took out a badge . It was a special medal given by the Human Alliance. The badge was of a rather high level, a D-tier at least.

An official D-tier General's badge.

It was the badge worn by Hu Liang in the beginning.

The badge was larger than an ordinary D-tier's badge. It was very distinctive. At critical hours, those who wore the badge could become a leader in the name of the Human Alliance.

"Now, as the Governor of the Northern Seas District, I declare Qin Feng as a General, the Commander-in-Chief of the New Shadong Town!"

"I now appoint Bai Li as the deputy general of New Shadong Town!"

"And now, I appoint the E-tier aptitude user, Gao Qing, as the mayor of the town!"

Both of them had been appointed as generals. The mayoral title was offered to a distant nephew of Gao Yukang.

Qin Feng was surprised.

He did not think that Gao Yukang would appoint him as general.

In a town like Shadong, those with the bigger fist held the bigger authority. A general's post was much higher than the mayor.

Furthermore, although the certified aptitude users were considered members of the Human Alliance, becoming a general meant getting into the official ranks of the Human Alliance.

Officials and normal members— the difference was stark.

As for Qin Feng's role as the leader of Fengli colony, it was nothing more than a sesame-sized rank to be brutally honest. He would never make it into the core with a position like that!

There was another huge advantage by becoming the general of Shadong Town.

The army, the Human Alliance, and even the Four Cities of the Northern Seas would have to pay tributes every year to Qin Feng as war efforts!

Hu Liang had a bad temper. He was often frustrated by the workload of his position as the general. Yet, what made him stay?

What else if not for the money?

"General Qin, Deputy Bai, come up here and receive your honors!" Gao Yukang interrupted Qin Feng's contemplations.

Bai Li looked at Qin Feng in a puzzled manner. She did not know if she should go up the stage. She was waiting for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng stood up.

It was a great move!

It even gave Qin Feng another idea.

As Qin Feng stood up, Bai Li naturally followed him up the stage.

Gao Yukang awarded Qin Feng and Bai Li with the badges.

"The Alliance places great hope in both of you. Do not let us down, protect the final frontier of the Northern Seas Desert. The fate of humankind rests upon us!"

Qin Feng thought that Gao Yukang was a real schmoozer.

Yet, the Human Alliance needed the propaganda. How else would they get so many people to fight for them?

"I'll never let you down, thank you Governor!"

Gao Yukang nodded in contentment.

In actual fact, he did not care for matters in the Northern Seas District. His passion was not here. Maybe after another thirty or forty years, he would come back and settle down in his land. By then, he may have become a B or A-tier. What else could this place offer him?

Thus, he had washed his hands off this place!

After appointing Gao Qing the role of mayor, it was a job well done!

The eighty two D-tier aptitude users breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.

"It's good that Qin Feng is leading, at least we don't have to be afraid of him being a sellout!"

"I thought the alliance people were going to capture us for research, I was worried there!"

"Don't hold your breaths just yet, they've sent in ten doctors to watch over our movements!"

"We'll see how it goes, maybe we'll recover!"

All in all, the crowd was happy with Gao Yukang's decision.

After the town hall meeting, Gao Yukang had another small meeting.

Gao Yukang still retained his strong presence. Gao Qing sat beside him. Bai Li was sitting beside Qin Feng. Gao Yukang's side felt a little weak compared to Qin Feng's.

He unbuttoned the collar of his battle suit and smoked a cigarette. "Let's talk about Shadong Town. I know I'm giving you a burden by passing these matters to you, but there's a lot in it for you. You can request for any military support from the Human Alliance and the four cities will help you out. You'll be getting 30 billion every year as base salary!"

Thirty billion a year. You could get a beast emperor level crystal core every three years. Although Hu Liang rarely fought, everyone knew he was strong.

What a pity that he had to go like that!

"Don't you have to collect tax from Shadong Town or something like that?" asked Qin Feng.

Even in Fengli colony, they had to pay a certain amount to Chengyang City. However, the amount was fixed. It was easy-peasy for Fengli colony now.

Geo Yukang chuckled. "It's good enough if Shadong Town doesn't lose money!"

Qin Feng nodded. He continued," In that case, I want every share and rights of Shadong Town. I forfeit the 30 billion dollar salary, I'll be accountable to my own profits and losses!"

Gao Yukang was a bit startled.

A dilapidated place like Shadong Town?

Chapter 375: Shadong Town's Ownership

"If you really want it, you can have it, and I will not interfere!"

"Alright, let's have an official agreement!"

"Are you serious?" Gao Yukang could not believe it.

It was obvious that no resources were available at the North Sea Desert, and it was surprising to have someone accept it.

Qin Feng nodded. "I am not kidding, and with my combat power, thirty billion is nothing to me, however, I would prefer to have my own territory that I can have absolute control over!"

Despite having the same goal, Gao Yukang's governor position was restricted by the four major families, and even deaths of any family leader would not bring him any benefit.

Furthermore, profits from Shadong Town were too little for a C-tier.

"Alright, this will also be cost saving for me!"

Qin Feng signed an agreement with Gao Yukang to take absolute control over Shadong Town.

The support from the Human Alliance would still remain, however, they would not pay Qin Feng for his salary!

In return, Qin Feng would take ownership of every welfare of the town, while Gao Qing could only receive a fixed amount of salary from the Human Alliance and was not entitled to any bonuses.

With that, Shadong Town had become Qin Feng's second colony!

As the negotiation came to an end, Gao Yukang and Qin Feng were satisfied with the outcome, both of them shook hands to bid their farewell and Gao Yukang left within the same day for Niumeng City.

On the same night, another person had also arrived at Niumeng City.

The best among Qin Feng's henchmen, Xue Xingfu!

Xue Xingfu did not travel by hover copter as Qin Feng had opened an entrance from the Battlegod Tomb to allow him to enter directly into the city, and it was much more convenient.

Qin Feng would require a helping hand to take on the task of rebuilding Shadong Town, and Xue Xingfu was the best option he had.

"Mayor, oh, I should address you as a general! Xue Xingfu spoke.

Qin Feng gave Xue Xingfu a pat on his thick shoulder blades. "Come, let's get planning, this time, things are more complicated than Shadong Town itself!"

"Actually, I am not convinced of this, Mayor, did you just make a bad move?"

It was obvious that Shadong Town was at an unstable location that could be easily demolished, furthermore, it was frequently hit by spatial rifts that formed around the area.

"Listen, if this piece of desert land were to be turned into grasslands or plantations, would you still think that I have made a bad move?"

"How could that be possible!" Xue Xingfu did not believe in Qin Feng's suggestion.

He continued to observe Qin Feng's expression and was even more puzzled.

"What are you trying to imply? Can you just reveal it to me!" Xue Xingfu answered.

"This is what I mean! We'll continue on with this after your return from obtaining the items!"

Qin Feng replied as he opened up his communicator.

The surroundings of the North Sea Desert were shown on the communicator, Qin Feng marked a spot on the edge of the desert and answered, "Rebuild Shadong Town over here."

It was five kilometres away from the original location of Shadong Town.

Unfortunately, the North Sea Desert might have to be expanded for another five kilometres in size.

It was definitely an unfavourable news for human beings.

However, for Qin Feng, it was the exact location of Shadong Town in the future.

Qin Feng's coordination had instantly initiated the rebuilding of the town to cope with the pace of the ongoing war, also, Shadong Town was not a colony, instead, it was a defense fortress that did not have high-rise buildings within the town. Most of them were low-rise houses surrounded by extremely thick city walls.

Also, Qin Feng was impressed by the defensive wall when he was at Sea City, therefore, he had ordered to build a small-sized city wall that extended from both sides of Shadong Town and was shaped like a semi-circle that surrounded the edges of the North Sea Desert.

In less than a week, a new Shadong Town was successfully rebuilt at the edge of the North Sea Desert.

As soon as the structure of Shadong Town had entered into its consolidation stage, all sorts of equipment had also been allocated accordingly. Perhaps the location was further away from the North Sea Desert, and also, Qin Feng had left no mercy when he was hunting down ultra beasts earlier, hence they were less seen around the area.

Bai Li had also been assigned with extra tasks, she had to scout around the ruins of the original location of Shadong Town to identify any rifts that were formed, once identified, she would have to take care of them and reduce the occurrence of accidents.

Certainly, Qin Feng had his own tasks as well.

"I might need to be away for some time, during my absence, Bai Li will take lead in every battle, and you shall focus on the developments, alright?"

Xue Xingfu frowned. "Any specific plans with your current trip?"

Qin Feng smiled. "Would you believe it if I told you that I am planning to do reforestation?"

Xue Xingfu waved his hand. "Forget about it then!"

Qin Feng did not explain further and left Shadong Town on the same day.

However, Qin Feng had only gone beyond the scouting perimeters of Shadong Town with his Sky Dweller.

After a short while, silver coloured lights appeared and formed into a permanent space stabilized passage, and it was Bai Li who walked out from the passage.

"We can begin now!"

Qin Feng looked at Bai Li.

Without any hesitation, Bai Li raised her hand and casted out silver coloured light rays, then, a spatial passage was formed.

The spatial passage was not connected with Shadong Town.

Qin Feng had used the same method when he went to Niumeng City, where he utilized a spatial passage to arrive at another place.

"As I do not know the exact spatial coordinates, I have chosen higher grounds, you have to be careful!" Bai Li warned.

Qin Feng responded with a wave to indicate that he had understood, and immediately jumped into the spatial passage.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng was already devoured by the dark passage, and Bai Li closed up the passage!

At that moment, Qin Feng had already left the spatial passage, and as soon as he stepped out, there was indeed no landing ground for him.

Furthermore, Qin Feng was within a sea of clouds.

It was imaginable that he was at an extremely high altitude.

Qin Feng relaxed and allowed his body to dive at a high speed.

He passed through the layers of clouds and was able to capture the wide piece of land beneath.

It was a large piece of land densely covered with forests.

Bright green color from the scenery stretched and connected to the edge of the sky.

"Roar!!!"

Qin Feng was alerted by a loud sound from behind.

As Qin Feng had only been there for seconds during his dive, the beast roar that came from behind was obviously a flying ultra beast.

Stomp!

Qin Feng came to a halt and immediately dodged sideways, he had also managed to take a look behind and identify what was after him.

Then, he noticed that it was a gigantic bird that was extremely violent.

With its gigantic wings, extended abdomen and the feathers that were attached to its tail, it could most probably have the capability of a C-tier.

It was indeed intimidating.

Corrosive Vulture!

An ultra beast that was famous for its bad reputation.

Qin Feng did not want to deal with the ultra beast, however, he did not have the speed advantage to get away as he was travelling in the air.

"Dark Shroud!"

Boom!

A pitch-black colored cloud instantly exploded in the sky, the scene was intimidating like a massive storm was about to come.

Of course, some were still able to recognize it as dark abilities.

It was only exposed when Qin Feng did not bother to hide it!

The Corrosive Vulture was instantly being captured within the dark shroud and was unable to escape from it as Qin Feng continued to dive at high speed.

As soon as Qin Feng descended to a lower altitude, he was able to clearly see the great piece of land beneath him.

Surprisingly, it was a tropical forest!

It was something that was absent from the Three Cities Along the Sun and the Four Cities of the North Sea.

Qin Feng also had no idea where he was.

The spatial passage that was opened by Bai Li had brought Qin Feng to the other side of the earth!
