Chapter 424: Qin Feng the Wanted Criminal
Fu Wenjue had a slight smirk on his face as he said, "Guang Wei has his own plans. He'll definitely commission you later as an apology, just bear with it!"
"Enough!" He Liming said coldly, "I don't want his money. As for this incident, if there are any consequences, do not drag me into it! You and I are not allies!"
He then left in a fit of rage, but he knew that he had already been dragged into this debacle already.
At the very least, he was a silent participant of it.
Even he had a hunch that it was not something that would be resolved quickly!
If Guang Wei did not take down Qin Feng today, Qin Feng was going to come back stronger in the future!
Meanwhile, Qin Feng's consciousness was disconnected from the consciousness connector, then he instantly took it off and stuffed it into his spatial rune equipment.
In the next moment, the communicators of two of the three people present suddenly rang.
Bai Li took a look at the notification and her eyes widened, as if she had just seen something unbelievable.
[Attention Bounty Hunters, Criminal: Qin Feng has been locked in!]
Before Bai Li had time to see what crime Qin Feng had committed, Li Zishan who had been sitting opposite the two abruptly laughed.
"I didn't expect you to go down this road, Captain Qin!"
"You should have guessed what my choice would have been a long time ago!" Qin Feng sneered.
In fact, the moment she entered this room he had been on guard against her! This woman was known as the Human Alliance's executioner.
Before his rebirth, that was, when he was 27 years old, Li Zishan was A-tier as well, a famous A-tier Gold rank bounty hunter. She did not distinguish between black or white, only figures.
And now, based on his memory, she should at least be C-tier in terms of strength.
That was why she was hiding her strength this entire time and came here pretending to be a special agent!
Just how much of this ploy was Lei Ying's and how much of it was Guang Wei's he did not know!
Qin Feng had instantly become a wanted criminal. He was on the bounty hunter network. Even his communicator and personal account were locked. Although it was impossible for people to take money from it, he could not either!
There was still 4 trillion in there and Qin Feng could only rejoice in the fact that he had already distributed the Fengli Mercenary Troop's salaries!
As for Li Zishan?
She was going to pay for her overconfidence!
The two went on the offensive at the same time.
Li Zishan mobilized her consciousness and sent out a strong gust of wind that knocked aside everything in the room. In that burst of strong wind, two tornadoes wrapped around Qin Feng and Bai Li's bodies.
Qin Feng had already wrapped his body with internal force by then and sent his body forward.
The tornado around him spun at breakneck speeds, his internal force letting out a harsh noise from the violent friction.
But this did not slow Qin Feng down.
Li Zishan's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something bad was going to happen and immediately let the wind runes surround her body before backing away.
She moved very quickly!
But it was too late!
Qin Feng's fist was faster and it crashed into Li Zishan's abdomen!
"Aaaah!"
Li Zishan felt her stomach concave before her internal organs were squished inside her. She had never suffered this much pain before, let alone experience such a powerful blow.
A terrifying surge of internal force raged through her body, and not only that, a tremendous force slammed her against the wall.
Boom!
Even the solid wall could not withstand the impact of Qin Feng's strength. Li Zishan was sent flying through the wall, leaving behind a large hole that led to the next room.
Qin Feng's next door neighbour was Zheng Qian.
Before that, the vibrations of the two's battle could be felt and Zheng Qian was shocked, completely unsure of what was going on.
Qin Feng zipped into Zheng Qian's room. Needless to say, he was chasing Li Zishan.
Li Zishan suffered a lot of internal damage from Qin Feng's punch, but aptitude users were extremely difficult to kill so she was not dead. However, she let out a scream the moment she saw him.
Whoosh!
A violent gust of wind shattered Zheng Qian's window, carrying Li Zishan out with it.
"What's going on? What happened?" Zheng Qian was dumbfounded and asked, "Wasn't that the person that was delivering the consciousness connector? Why are you fighting?"
Qin Feng coldly said, "There's no time to explain. I'm afraid, starting today, I will become a fugitive. The role of Captain of the Fengli Mercenary Troop will be transferred to someone else under me. You can quit if you want, I won't stop you. But don't you worry, I will take back the future as governor of the Four Cities on the North Sea sooner or later!"
As soon as he finished saying so, he felt a terrifying presence.
It was Guang Wei.
Murderous intent flashed in Qin Feng's eyes but he knew that now was not the best time to take on Guang Wei.
"Bai Li, lets go!"
Bai Li nodded, and the two reappeared one hundred meters away in the next moment.
By the time Guang Wei had arrived, he had left empty-handed!
Qin Feng used internal force to carry his voice, "Today's revenge will be repaid in the future, but don't any of you start being arrogant. Whoever lays a hand on what's mine will not see tomorrow's dawn!"
The aptitude users who had not left Colony Three were all stunned.
Guang Wei's face paled. He never expected Qin Feng to be so unscrupulous as to openly declare this matter to the public and embarrass him!
"Qin Feng, it's still unclear if you will see tomorrow's dawn!" Lei Ying looked at Qin Feng with a dark expression in the distance.
Qin Feng let out a chilling laugh, "It looks like you no longer want your hands!"
Bai Li's power activated and the two immediately appeared beside Lei Ying, who was three hundred meters away.
Qin Feng's internal force erupted abruptly.
"Asteroid Assimilation!"
Such an oppressive internal force, it definitely did not belong to a C-tier!
There was not a moment to show weakness against a C-tier like Lei Ying!
Lei Ying's body froze and he instantly lost his balance.
A weak point!
Qin Feng pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber.
"Blazing Sky!"
"Cut!"
This terrifying blade gave off an aura that Lei Ying was unable to evade from.
Lei Ying's arm was sent flying.
"Bastard!"
When Guang Wei caught up, he was surrounded by icy blue runes. A cold current came and it was freezing cold in an instant, chilling to the bones!
A silver light enveloped Bai Li and soon Qin Feng and her shifted into another plane, avoiding this powerful attack before appearing elsewhere.
Li Zishan, who had already fled five hundred meters away in an instant, stared ahead at Qin Feng with horror.
Qin Feng had a bone-chilling grin on his face, it was like staring directly at a dead man.
"Blazing Sky!"
"Slash!"
A powerful horizontal swing!
Li Zishan tried to maneuver out of the blade's trajectory but the attack still connected!
"Aaaaiiieeee!"
A pair of legs fell down from the sky!
Chapter 425: Qin Feng On The Run
"I hope you people wouldn't step on my limits!"
Qin Feng let out a frosty laugh before disappearing entirely!
Guang Wei tried to give chase but his consciousness had its limits! He did not have SS-tier potential like Qin Feng did.
It was not like Qin Feng's current power!
As such, Qin Feng and Bai Li escaped Guang Wei after a few spatial jumps.
However, Guang Wei had another way, which was to lock onto Qin Feng's position via his communicator. After all, that communicator was issued by the Human Alliance!
Qin Feng would not have made such a simple mistake as to keep his communicator on, he had already taken his own and Bai Li's communicators, and placed them into his spatial rune equipment.
Even if Guang Wei was a B-tier, he was not as strong as Li Zishan in terms of chasing and escaping.
That was why Li Zishan was summoned, because she was a wind ability user.
But now? Lei Ying had his arm damaged by Qin Feng again and the last injury required the use of a lot of healing elixirs but this time it had been chopped off.
Not to mention, Li Zishan lost both her legs!
"This Qin Feng really is a ruthless person!"
Although Guang Wei was an ice ability user, he could still feel a chill down his back!
He had chased after Qin Feng for ten kilometers but eventually lost his trail and had to return to Colony Three.
Lei Ying, holding his severed arm, greeted him and hurriedly asked, "General Guang, is it done?'
That just touched a tender spot*!
Guang Wei's face was an ashy grey.
"Useless waste of space!"
After barking out that insult, he turned around and left!
When Lei Ying heard that, he immediately understood that Qin Feng was not dead!
He escaped?
Lei Ying suddenly recalled what Qin Feng had said before.
'Whoever lays a hand on what's mine will not see tomorrow's dawn!'
What did Qin Feng mean by that?
Fengli Colony? Shadong Town, or the Fengli Mercenary Troop?
Perhaps it was the position of governor for the Four Cities on the North Sea?
From that moment, Lei Ying felt as if there was a blade hanging over his head and that blade just so happened to be Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber.
Would he have to give up the position of governor of the Four Cities just like that?
It was like a piece of meat served in front of him, he wanted to eat it but if he reached his neck out to take a bite it would get cut off.
Such a tantalizing feeling was simply unbearable.
What was more, it was not just the problem with the Four Cities anymore.
Now Qin Feng had become a huge threat. After shedding all of his pretenses, Lei Ying was not sure if Qin Feng would come after him or not.
"Assassin's notice! The first to kill Qin Feng will receive 100 billion!"
Lei Ying did not hesitate to spread this news onto the battle.net.
He then spent the rest of that night in the Aptitude User's Hall, afraid that Qin Feng would return in the middle of the night to begin a massacre!
***
Qin Feng was planning on massacring everyone who crossed him that night but after entering the Longchuan Mountains, he encountered a terrible scene.
"What is that?" His pupils shrank at the sight.
He had already seen it clearly, but the more he looked the less he wanted to admit what he saw.
"A spatial passage!" Bai Li said, her voice serious.
The giant spatial passage could be seen clearly in the daylight, and a jagged, angular machinery could be seen within!
It was what the Floating City had become after it was destroyed.
Perhaps because of the previous tragic experience, the Grans did not dare enter the city!
As parts of the Floating City swirled within the spatial passage, the floating machinery and parts that densely packed the sky seemed to be slowly reforming into the Floating City's shape!
Qin Feng's face paled. He did not even have his communicator now, and he could not notify the Ability Alliance.
However, those countless amounts of Grans, the tragedy that occured before his rebirth. Was that going to happen again?
He suddenly sneered.
"Report or no, the time hasn't come yet so I'll report it when it happens! Let's see if Guang Wei will survive this time!"
"So, we're not going to care about it?" Bai Li asked.
After one year, Bai Li had understood a lot about human society. Usually she knew what was good to eat and drink and what kind of clothes were fashionable during the season but when it came down to it, no one was more reliable than her.
And now, she was already aware of what was going on.
"What do you think?"
Bai Li raised a silver brow. "Let them fend for themselves!"
Qin Feng looked at the terrifying space in the distance and said, "You're right, why should I care about them?"
Of course, some people naturally had to worry about it!
The Fengli Mercenary Troop's people were panicking!
Qin Feng had lost communication with them and was now a wanted criminal. When the news reached them, they freaked out!
These people relied too much on Qin Feng!
All the wealth and status they had were given by Qin Feng. They could not imagine what would happen after this incident!
At this time, a thought came to Qin Feng and he pulled out a new communicator from his spatial rune equipment.
This communicator was the one that he used when he was disguised as Bloodhunter.
He originally thought that he would not ever need that communicator anymore, unexpectedly it was the best thing he had right now.
When he turned on the communicator, there was only Zhou Hao's number in it.
Of course, he had added that from before.
Beep beep!
After dialing the other's number, Zhou Hao answered the call without a single moment of hesitation!
"Qin Feng? What the hell's going on? Why are you wanted now?" Zhou Hao immediately asked.
"The whole thing's a bit too complicated to explain. Tell the Fengli Mercenary Troop to withdraw from the colony and return to Longchuan City immediately!"
"Okay, I'll do that right away!" Zhou Hao nodded.
Qin Feng hung up and called Xue Xingfu next.
Since Xue Xingfu was a businessman, he would answer any call even if it was an anonymous number. It was currently in the afternoon when he was called and he was looking through the latest report in Shadong Town with great satisfaction. The thought that a poor frontline town could reach the current situation it was in filled him with an infinite sense of accomplishment!
Of course, this was all thanks to Qin Feng. As without him, the town would not even be standing.
It was only when the news broke out on the battle.net that Xue Xingfu's peaceful day came to a halt.
It was by luck that there was an anonymous call incoming and based on his intuition, it had to be from Qin Feng.
"Boss? Why did you suddenly change communication numbers?" He asked in shock.
"Come to the Battlegod's Tomb, and buy a woman's communicator that doesn't require authentication beforehand for Bai Li! Our meeting will start at six o'clock in the evening today and I'll notify you 10 minutes before the meeting!"
Xue Xingfu immediately nodded. "Roger that!"
Even if Qin Feng did not give any explanations, Xue Xingfu felt that so long as Qin Feng was alive there would be no problems!
The Fengli Mercenary Troop also received the news, they were very angry but they knew that they would not have any of their questions answered. What was more, they were not capable of taking out their frustration on Guang Wei either.
"There's some internal conflict and they're trying to knock down the captain!" Chen Xiang's face was pale.
Zheng Qin was also very angry, but she had no choice but to follow Qin Feng's orders and retreat to Longchuan City.
Translator's Note 1: Directly translated from the Chinese meaning of "Something that shouldn't be mentioned"
Chapter 426: The Return of the Grans
To the Fengli Mercenary Troop's surprise, a hover copter appeared behind them ten minutes after they left in the combat hover copter.
"It's Sky Dweller!"
"Captain!"
"Captain has sent us a signal. Let's descend!"
The mercenary troop landed quickly and surrounded Qin Feng when he alighted the Sky Dweller.
Because Qin Feng was currently being listed as a wanted criminal, everyone took down their communicators and hid it in their spatial rune equipment.
Of course, none of them would betray Qin Feng. But the communicator would automatically expose Qin Feng's location to the bounty hunter network when it comes near the listed target.
Anyone could have easily tracked them down if they were paying close attention to the network. Guang Wei probably still had not given up on capturing Qin Feng, too.
"Captain, what's going on? Why are you wanted all of a sudden?" One of the members asked cautiously.
They were very dependent on Qin Feng.
Qin Feng told them everything without any reserve.
Their faces changed drastically after listening to Qin Feng's story.
"I did not think that Guang Wei would be such a b*tch!"
"I can't believe he teamed up with Lei Ying of all people!"
"What an as*hole! I am reporting him to the Human Alliance!" Zheng Qian was the first to hear the news. She could not hold back her anger after learning the truth from Qin Feng.
Every member of this troop knew that Qin Feng was the biggest reason they were able to resist the Grans. However, not only did the Human Alliance not rightfully reward Qin Feng for his contribution but instead had asked him to surrender the spatial whip and 5 trillion as compensation. Utter nonsense!
Qin Feng, on the other hand, was unexpectedly calm. "They collaborated because they happened to have a common target, me. Guang Wei has his eyes on the spatial whip but he won't be able to get it from me through brute force so this is his only way. On the other hand, Lei Ying would become the only dominant force around here once I am gone. The North Sea Desert has been declared safe and has the potential to develop into a great colony. It's only natural that he yearns to take control of it."
"We can't just let them have their way. There are still rules and regulations in the Human Alliance!"
Indeed, there were ample rules and written laws but these things were considered non-existent most of the time.
Only the strong one would have the final say.
Qin Feng did not bother to explain this and said solemnly, "Shortly speaking, I am unable to stay at this place for long. Guang Wei is perhaps still lurking around somewhere nearby. So it's important for you all to listen carefully to what I have got to say next."
Everyone else shut their mouth and looked at Qin Feng attentively.
"Before my communicator was canceled, I managed to transfer the captain position to a trusted friend of mine. His name is Zhou Hao. He has just reached E-tier and wouldn't be able to lead you all. When I am gone, you are free to leave the mercenary. I don't wish for my predicament to affect anyone in this troop."
The troop immediately objected after Qin Feng said that.
"What are you talking about! How could we leave you at such a moment?"
"We won't leave the troop! Just take it as a temporary hiatus for the mercenary troop!"
"Captain, we follow you because of governor Gao. After you avenged him, we have vowed not to follow anyone else other than you!"
Some of them were also concerned about Qin Feng's next step. Gao Li walked out and asked directly, "What are you going to do? Since you are being wanted by the Human Alliance, does that mean you only have one place to go to?"
Though the Human Alliance appeared to have the most control over the world, the Dark Coalition had a large territory as well.
Only that the condition there was viler and more unforgiving.
"Captain, are you going to the Devil Capital?"
The Devil Capital was a place as mysterious and legendary as Dragon Capital.
Qin Feng laughed. "I am not fit to go there just yet."
The strongest aptitude users, the S-tiers, gathered at both the Devil and Dragon Capitals. Unless he had reached B-tier, otherwise Qin Feng would not risk his life going to such treacherous places.
"I might be going to the City of Death instead."
A fitting city for the deserters that had nowhere else to go.
It was a city of crime. A lot of felonies from the Human Alliance would seek refuge there. So bounty hunters from the Human Alliance do visit the place frequently to hunt down wanted criminals.
Other than that, the biggest threat there was not more than B-tier. So it suited Qin Feng better.
"Captain, bring us there. The Human Alliance might eat their word when you are not around!" Gao Li requested.
It was pretty straightforward for Gao Li. He was no longer a normal human but a mutant, although he had not experienced any repercussions for the past few months.
Thus, he felt safer alongside Qin Feng rather than living in the Human Alliance's territory. He no longer felt like he belonged to the human society.
But Qin Feng replied to him coldly, "Do you think I will never make it back?"
Seeing that Qin Feng was irked, Gao Li immediately shut his mouth. Others dared not speak another word too.
Qin Feng vowed solemnly, "I will definitely repay them for what they have done to me today!" He suddenly felt that it's rather merciful to kill Lei Ying just like that. The sweetest revenge would be to strip everything he ever had, including his dignity.
"If you insist on staying, then lay low and build on your strength while I am away. I will be back in less than half a year. I will not let others take what's rightfully mine!"
"Roger!"
They were all staring at him admirably. Though he was still only a teenager, they were willing to bet on his limitless potential.
"We should dismiss now. Remember, don't ever go back to Colony Three, even when there is impressment. Understand?" Qin Feng reminded them coldly.
They thought that Qin Feng was worried about them being caught by Guang Wei and might be used by him to further smear Qin Feng's name. They did not wish to become Qin Feng's burden by any means.
Qin Feng and Bai Li left hastily in the Sky Dweller.
The rest of them then left reluctantly, wondering when only would they rendezvous with their beloved captain.
Some of them took out the communicator and were shaken by the emergency transmission on it.
"Look! Something serious is happening at Longchuan!"
The others quickly took out the communicator, which was emitting a deafening alarm now. Longchuan Colony Three was in a state of emergency, and a video had been sent to every communicator.
The horrifying Floating City had arrived above Colony Three. Their army was massive with a few hundred thousand soldiers seen surrounding the city.
Other than the video, they also received a telepathic signal delivered by the invaders.
Surrender to the Grans!
The humans wondered whether "Grans" was the name of the intelligent species or their civilization. But this daunting word had reached the Human Alliance by now.
Zheng Qian and Chen Xiang looked at each other after receiving the emergency call for reinforcement.
"Do you think our captain has actually foreseen this?"
"I think it's just a plain coincidence."
"Then, should we go back?"
That was undoubtedly a huge dilemma.
Chapter 427: Guang Wei Ran Away
"Why should we? Let's leave this place for good. There's certainly some place out there that we truly belong to."
"That's right. Who cares if Guang Wei is killed? If not because of our captain, Colony Three would have long been demolished by the Grans!"
"I wish him death!"
Inside Colony Three, Guang Wei remained alive despite being cursed by the Fengli troop.
Nevertheless, being the only B-tier aptitude user left, he naturally became the main target of the Grans.
There were about three hundred Grans that managed to get away before. After assembling with their main army, they immediately turned back to take revenge.
"Take him. He was the one who had killed a lot of our comrades!"
"That's right! Kill!"
"Slaughter the entire town. We only need their resources. Kill every last one of them!"
The Grans were extremely cruel and they massacred through the colony mercilessly. The remaining people inside the colony were unable to resist the Grans' ruthlessness.
Though Guang Wei could still fight, he was being heavily outnumbered and decided to retreat.
"Retreat immediately!" Guang Wei shouted.
"General, please bring me along! I beg you!" Li Zishan who had lost both of her legs screamed hysterically.
Guang Wei gave it a thought and grabbed her. He planned to use Li Zishan's wind-type ability to make a run for it.
But a bright light burst out from the Floating City and took away Li Zishan's head before she could react.
The powerful A-tier that Qin Feng knew in his past life had her life ended prematurely in this life.
Guang Wei loosened his grip out of shock and perspired uncontrollably.
Lei Ying was more decisive than Guang Wei at such a moment. He used a waymark to run into an unknown region he had previously taken control of.
Those who had waymarks with them had used them to flee the moment they saw the Floating City. Nobody cared about the reinforcement plea beeping loudly on their communicators. They were not going to sacrifice their lives for the Human Alliance. Staying alive was of utmost importance!
Guang Wei was unable to activate his spatial waymark as he was being constantly surrounded by multiple Grans. He could only keep on running in hopes of shaking off the pursuers.
Apparently, the Grans were determined to capture Guang Wei at all costs. They wanted to hang his head up in the floating city in memory of their fallen comrades.
Guang Wei could only do so much by himself. Against the Grans army, Guang Wei had no choice but to abandon the colony.
This meant that Guang Wei had just become a deserter.
Though it was unlikely that he would be punished given the perilous circumstances, he had nonetheless embarrassed himself big time for running away.
By that time, Qin Feng had long left Longchuan City.
***
In Shadong Town.
Two figures appeared abruptly near the high-class villa at the town center.
Those were none other than Qin Feng and Bai Li.
Shadong Town had grown beyond recognition since the last time Qin Feng was still around. He expanded his consciousness and discovered a significant increase in the town population.
After one month, the plantation around the town was already approaching the harvest season.
At this rate, the town might not be able to export much of the food but at least it was self-sustainable.
Such a production scale probably would not draw Guang Wei's attention. It was Lei Ying that Qin Feng was worried about.
However, as soon as Qin Feng was still alive, there was no way Lei Ying could lay a finger on this place.
Qin Feng notified Xue Xingfu about his return and not long after, the latter arrived at the villa to meet the two of them
"Phew, so you two are not hurt! Thank God!" Xue Xingfu was worried sick when he heard that Qin Feng was being chased by someone two tiers higher than him.
"Don't worry. It's no big deal!"
"By the way, here's Bai Li's communicator."
"It's really inconvenient to not carry one." Bai Li thanked him and returned to her old cheerful self.
Qin Feng brushed her hair and said, "Let's gather everyone at the Battlegod Tomb. I wish to see how everyone is doing."
"Okay!"
Qin Feng stepped into the Battlegod Shrine. Everyone attended immediately after being informed by Xue Xingfu. This included Zhou Hao, Liu Xue, Wang Chen, and Han Nuan.
Fengli was no longer the small scale colony in the past.
"Boss!"
"Chief!"
"Captain!"
They might refer to him with different titles but their respect toward Qin Feng was all the same.
Among these men, most had reached E-tier. They were more than capable of managing Fengli by themselves.
After all, very few would dare to cause trouble when they knew who the boss was behind this colony.
Even if Qin Feng was not around, Fengli could still depend on Zhou Hao.
Though Qin Feng had not visited Fengli for months, he had been in constant contact with Zhou Hao and knew that his buddy had not been slacking. It was not difficult to tell that Zhou Hao had improved drastically.
"You are doing great. Keep it up." Qin Feng tapped Zhou Hao's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
"Haha. It's all thanks to Queen Ant and the inner power that you shared with me." Zhou Hao winked.
Of course, he was referring to the Overcast Dragon. Not everyone in the colony was given the chance to practice this art.
"Well, I am rather impressed." Qin Feng was relieved after he studied the others.
Liu Xue and Wang Chen were E-tier now, too. The others might not have broken through yet but he could see that it was just a matter of time.
E-tier might be the lowest tier in Shadong Town but it was considered a top-class in Fengli, or even the entire Cheng Bei colony.
The power that only belonged to the ruler in this area.
Zhou Hao was the best among them as he also owned the Golden Queen Ant. Such an improvement rate outclassed even some of the so-called prodigies.
"Boss, you are even stronger now. I can hardly tell the depth of your power," Wang Chen was a gunslinger who excelled in probing an opponent's power with his consciousness. However, no matter how far he went, he could not grasp Qin Feng's true strength at all.
Wang Chen was a little upset. He actually wanted to go to Shadong Town with Qin Feng because he knew that was the only way to obtain more resources. Now that hope seemed more unlikely than ever.
"Let's not talk about that. I called for you to discuss something very important."
Everyone stood straight and listened carefully.
Qin Feng told them about his plan and changes that might happen in the future, especially the looming threat that came from the Leitang Organization.
"If someone dares to challenge us, just contact me. Don't hesitate. I have given my word, after all." Qin Feng did not plan to back down.
Lei Ying might try to probe here and there. He was not going to take action himself but would definitely send out a D-tier to do the dirty work. Qin Feng wanted to make sure his men were prepared for the imminent danger.
After that, Qin Feng took out another two items.
They were two giant eggs. The eggs are white and sparkling in gold radiance. Everyone could feel the warmth emitted from the eggs.
"These are, beast eggs?"
"What beast do they belong to? There are runes floating around it!"
"It's light-type runes."
Chapter 428: The City of Death
Qin Feng nodded. "It belongs to the Golden-scaled Python King. I obtained it during the hunt on the old beast emperor at Tangshan Ridge."
The eggs were placed in Bai Li's storage all this while and were nurtured with various nourishing ingredients. Now, the eggs were ready to hatch.
"I have decided to give these two eggs to Xue Xingfu and Wang Chen. You two are the future cores of Fengli and Shadong, respectively. It's of our best interest if the two of you gain some power boost."
Judging by the money that Xue Xingfu and Wang Chen could earn monthly, it was not difficult to rear the python to at least E-tier. Whether they could upgrade the monster to D-tier relied on their individual effort.
Qin Feng had confidence in Xue Xingfu's future. He always had that talent.
On the other hand, Wang Chen's fate was overturned by Qin Feng. If not because of him, Wang Chen might still be living inside the poor Han Town.
Now, Qin Feng had absolute control over their future.
"Haha! Thanks!" Xue Xingfu laughed and picked one of the eggs.
Wang Chen was surprised. He did not expect Qin Feng to have such high confidence in him. He felt threatened when Han Nuan was first recruited by Qin Feng.
Qin Feng then told Zhou Hao about Fengli's Mercenary Troop. Zhou Hao understood the situation and was unwilling to take command over those D-tier members.
Qin Feng had not been involved in the management of Fengli and Shadong colonies, to begin with. So there was not much to speak about. There was a high level of mutual trust and respect between Qin Feng and his subordinates.
As for the mercenaries, they were all considered elites and would have no problem surviving. Qin Feng could still bring benefit to them now but if he did not return for an extended period, the troop would probably be dissolved by then.
But Qin Feng did not really care. The title Mercenary Lord was awarded to him because of his personal supremacy and not because he was the captain of the troop. He could always recruit another group of soldiers with his reputation.
Qin Feng ended the meeting once he got his message through. He departed the second day after some rest.
Since Bai Li's spatial ability had been exposed, Qin Feng no longer planned to keep it as a secret. He searched for the waymark of their next destination and openly asked Bai Li to create a spatial tunnel.
They walked into it and immediately arrived at a vastly different location.
A giant canyon came into Qin Feng's sight. The rift of the canyon extended into the horizon and its depth was immeasurable by the eyes. There were dark clouds floating above the canyon, which painted the entire area with a grey shade.
It was odd to see a canyon out in this plain so it was obviously not a natural phenomenon. Legend said that there was once an A-tier beast emperor who died here that had stomped the earth into half, hence forming the canyon.
The place where the City of Death was situated somehow did look like the edge of a giant foot.
Bai Li grabbed onto Qin Feng and they landed near the cliff of the canyon.
Around the giant foot, the grey mist was the most concentrated. The mist was highly corrosive and would paralyze any creature that inhaled it. Hence, they had to approach the City of Death cautiously.
"This way!"
Qin Feng brought out the fiery peacock feathers and descended into the canyon while holding Bai Li's waist.
The canyon was at least three hundred meters deep. The atmosphere got more humid the further they went. Mosses grew wildly inside the canyon and there was not any sense of warmth down the canyon despite the summer season.
Due to the thick poisonous mist in the air, there was only one way in and one way out from the City of Death.
Other than that, anyone who wished to enter would be charged an exorbitant fee per entry at the gate.
Hence, this place was the ideal refuge for deserters, criminals, or wanted persons running away from the Human Alliance.
Qin Feng led Bai Li and soon arrived at a wall that barred the canyon. It somehow looked more like a building rather than a gate.
A giant stove could be seen on top of the building. The grey mist at the surface was actually being released continuously from the stove.
There were numerous small windows lined across the building. Numerous guns were pointed out from the windows and Qin Feng could feel that he was being targeted by more than ten consciousness as soon as he had stepped out from the dark.
More and more consciousness began to turn onto him.
Qin Feng was not daunted and maintained his pace. The entrance could only fit two car lanes and there was a small access point at the side.
Four people were smoking and playing cards at the front door. They seemed to be enjoying the little game.
Qin Feng scanned them calmly and found that they were all D-tiers. He also sensed the presence of C-tiers inside the building.
Simply put, they were guards hired to watch the gate. Those who came here unprepared would be instantly KO-ed at the first stage.
"A newbie!"
The few D-tier aptitude users who were playing cards peeked at Qin Feng and Bai Li intriguingly.
They looked past Qin Feng and set their eyes on Bai Li.
Qin Feng said to them, "I am going in." He took out a bag containing 20 power credits and directly threw it onto the table.
They knew how many credits were in there through conscious energy.
"Well, you seem to know the rules around here. But I have never seen your face around here. This must be your first time? You even have a badge from the Human Alliance. Are you here looking for grim reapers?"
They measured Qin Feng maliciously and hoped Qin Feng would admit that he was indeed a member of the Human Alliance. That way, they could kill him straight out.
Of course, they planned to do it anyway even if he did not.
Qin Feng laughed it off. "I am wearing the batch to scare off nuisance."
Hearing that, one of the D-tier stared at Qin Feng and threatened him. "I am calling your bluff. Who are you trying to scare? Hundreds of people like you die in this city every day!"
"I wonder, are you one of them today?" Qin Feng sneered.
The D-tier was clearly offended. "F*ck you!" He was a D3-tier ancient warrior standing at 180 cm and probably weighed around 300 pounds. He was strong and his fist struck at full force with infused inner power.
That was a decent punch. He did not hold anything back in the first strike.
As a D3-tier ancient warrior, he probably possessed three clusters of liquefied inner force. He had used two full clusters on Qin Feng. That was about two times the maximum force a D1-tier ancient warrior could muster.
Qin Feng's badge was not even at D1-tier so the man reckoned Qin Feng must have been promoted only recently.
Thus, the ancient warrior had great confidence. He wanted to teach the arrogant newcomer a lesson.
If Qin Feng could not sustain his attack, then the pretty lady by his side would be theirs!
Qin Feng was exasperated when he saw that the D3-tier ancient warrior had fixed his eyes on Bai Li while attacking him. He did not hold back either and unleashed his inner force.
Boom!
Chapter 429: Enter the City
Qin Feng instantly mustered ten clusters of liquefied internal power. His internal force was denser and the amount of one cluster was at least three to four times more than that of his opponent's.
Cumulatively, the energy he unleashed was almost twenty times the power of the D-tier's two clusters.
Their fists met and none of the two had activated their internal shields to protect themselves. The collision of the two internal forces created a loud buzz.
Soon, a visible ripple began to move toward the chubby ancient warrior.
The sleeve on the D-tier's arm shattered instantly as their fist came together. The torn fabric was twirled by an unseen force and then scattered randomly into the air.
It was a phenomenon that would happen when someone's internal strength was being ripped apart.
That was not the end of it.
Crack!
Qin Feng's internal power continued to push forward and forcefully flattened the D-tier's originally plump fist.
Then, a series of cracking sounds suggested that the guard's hand bone was fractured.
The thick arm of the D-tier subsequently exploded with blood and oil spurting out from the wrist all the way to the elbow, then from the upper arm, and finally the shoulder.
The internal force kept gushing in.
Boom!
The influx of energy mutilated the D-tier's organs and eventually destroyed the heart. The ancient warrior was sent flying backward and fell lifelessly onto the ground. He was just a pile of disgusting dead meat now.
His shirt was burst open and all the D-tier silver runic equipment underneath it was crushed.
The runic equipment made from king-tier beast skin could not protect the ancient warrior. His circulatory system was utterly devastated and he could not be more dead.
Qin Feng triggered Asteroid Assimilation and drew out the remaining liquefied power from him. The rest of the guards were startled as they looked at Qin Feng.
They did not expect Qin Feng to be this powerful. After all, Qin Feng looked extremely young.
"Wow. Impressive!" One of the three guards spoke in a weird tone but did not dare to make any move on Qin Feng.
The chubby ancient warrior Qin Feng had just killed was actually a unique fighter. He purposely developed his body that way through tailored parallel training. Nonetheless, he was killed by Qin Feng in a single punch.
Besides, they could sense it now. Though the badge on Qin Feng's chest showed that he was a newly promoted D-tier aptitude user, he actually possessed the prowess of a D5-tier.
"Give us your name!" One of the D-tier guards knew the man in front of them was not your average Joe. They had quietly decided to let Qin Feng enter the city.
If Qin Feng were a member of the Human Alliance, then more gruesome challenges were waiting for him behind this wall.
"Qin Feng!"
The D-tier aptitude user quickly opened up the bounty hunter network. Qin Feng'a bounty was there on the homepage. He was listed just the day before.
"What did you do?
The reason on the net was definitely bullsh*t because it says "Wanted for hindering military affairs".
"Someone wants to frame me, that's all," Qin Feng answered emotionlessly.
The D-tier user understood immediately. Such a thing was not a rare occurrence in this world. At the same time, he also knew that Qin Feng came to this place just to seek temporary asylum. He would never truly become a member of the Dark Coalition.
A lot of people like him popped up in front of the gate every year. Not many were able to survive the brutal City of Death.
But Qin Feng did not look like the kind that would be put down easily.
"Off you go then." The D-tier aptitude user opened the passage door.
After seeing the guard's action, those inside the building retracted their consciousness. Anyhow, Qin Feng could still feel the vision of some greedy men placed upon Bai Li.
A sense of cruelty flashed past Qin Feng's eyes.
They went through the door and officially stepped into the City of Death.
The conditions there were awful. They could literally smell blood and rotten odor every now and then. Random people that looked numb walked past them like zombies. They stopped to collect trash and sometimes pillaged through the dead bodies at the corner of the street. They would throw their collection into the trolley and keep on walking, emotionlessly.
Qin Feng brushed past a janitor and saw three bodies in his trolley. The others did not react to it as this was probably an everyday scene in this hapless city.
A dirty kid aged around 5 years old suddenly ran out from the dark. He was extremely skinny and wore an oversize shirt. The kid had seen some undeserved hard life for his young age.
The kid's eyes were beaming with expectation when he saw Qin Feng and Bai Li.
"Do you need a hotel room?" The kid asked.
Qin Feng ignored him and pulled Bai Li away.
Seeing Qin Feng's coldness, the kid did not give up and approached Bai Li. He pleaded sympathetically, "Let me be your guide! This must be your first time here in the City of Death. This is a dangerous place. Without a guide like me, you two might probably end up like them!"
His filthy finger pointed toward the dead bodies inside the trolley.
Qin Feng stopped abruptly.
"I don't need a room but I do want a standalone place. Doesn't matter whether it's an apartment or villa," Qin Feng requested.
A smile immediately broke out on the kid's face. "Villa… I know a place but it might be a little pricey…" He extended his index finger and said, "1 power credit!"
It was equivalent to 10,000 in the outside world.
Communicator transactions were not widely used here. People here prefered to do business using power credits.
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Sure!"
"Come with me!"
The boy turned and beamed with jubilance. He did not expect that Qin Feng would be so easily deceived.
He waved at them and disappeared into an alley. "It's easy to run into bad guys using the main road. I know a safer shortcut!"
The boy paced hurriedly. But to Qin Feng and Bai Li, it was just like taking a stroll so they followed him leisurely.
***
At the same time, the three guards at the gate were dissatisfied with being unable to extort more power credits from the newcomer.
"Who is that? I can't believe he finished off the fatty in one strike."
"Check him out. He must be some famous outlaw."
"Let's check the Hitman Network!"
Three of them checked their communicator and paid no attention to the guard who just got killed.
The land of this city was all black because of bloodstains. They were immune to death, even if the guy was still playing cards and bullsh*tting with them just a moment ago.
Soon, they found what they were looking for.
"Damn, the price on his head is 1 trillion!"
"That much? Is he worth that much?"
They were moved by the huge bounty.
But one of them spoke dejectedly, "He is rated Hero Class. Not only that but he had also killed more than one C-tier before!"
Chapter 430: My Girlfriend Will Be Furious
Two of the remaining ones immediately browsed through the details, the more they studied into it, the more they were amazed.
It was stated that Qin Feng not only had his capabilities, also, he had accumulated an enormous amount of wealth.
The battle at Longchuan Colony Three had allowed him to rake in a whopping 5 trillion!
Of course, it had all been sealed now!
If any of the members from the Human Alliance were able to take down Qin Feng, they would be able to get their five percent share of funds from Qin Feng's personal terminal.
It would be equivalent to a trillion.
Even if the funds were excluded, for such a wealthy person, how resourceful could the spatial rune equipment collection be?
The temptation was irresistible!
All three of them were consumed by greed and their eyes twinkled in rapaciously.
They looked toward each other and turned off the page on the communicator to contact the others that were in the city.
Most of them who were watching the city entrance were influenced by multiple parties, the situation within the City of Death was indeed complicated!
Three of them did not know that someone else had already made their move as soon as Qin Feng entered into the city!
To them, Qin Feng was like a well-fed sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
***
Qin Feng and Bai Li strolled casually into a shadowy alley.
They went through four different alleys, and all of a sudden, the little boy ran away quickly and disappeared from a junction.
Qin Feng remained calm and did not intend to chase and follow, and Bai Li looked around curiously.
Then, several aptitude users appeared from the high walls of the houses that were aligned along both sides of the alley!
All of them had hidden their presence by using conscious energy from the gunners.
Qin Feng sneered and lifted the edge of his lips.
Did they really think their trick would work?
Right after the little boy appeared, Qin Feng already knew that it was a hoax.
Initially, Qin Feng did not want to entertain any of it, however, on a second thought, it was a better option to clean up those that came to seek their own death, then, he would be able to avoid the overpriced hotel charges and also find himself a spot to stay!
With that in mind, Qin Feng allowed himself to be guided by the little boy, and Qin Feng was not disappointed at all by the outcome.
All of a sudden, tens of aptitude users stormed into the surroundings and filled the narrow alley with horrifying internal strength.
Vroom!
Qin Feng's internal shield expanded instantly, he wrapped his left arm around Bai Li's waist and held her closer to him, and they were shrouded within the internal shield.
Internal strength exploded from every weaponry in the surroundings and blasted onto Qin Feng's internal shield.
Boom boom boom boom!
Deafening bombings echoed around the area.
Qin Feng's internal shield remained unaffected by attacks from at least seven ancient warriors!
Qin Feng raised his right arm, and his internal strength spiraled like a whirlpool.
"Asteroid Assimilation!"
All of them were merely D-tier aptitude users, and Qin Feng's internal strength was fifty times more than theirs, hence, even without any mistakes from them, Qin Feng was able to directly strike his explosive attack.
The seven ancient warriors instantly felt a giant suction force that forcefully pulled them toward Qin Feng.
Also, there was an unknown source of energy that was draining their internal strength and drawing them toward Qin Feng!
Their internal shield was plunging at a visible speed.
"How is this happening?!"
All of the ancient warriors were horrified.
As soon as their internal shields had been depleted, they were forcefully dragged and slammed onto Qin Feng's internal shield.
Then, they were horrified by another flow of energy that forced them into the reversal meridian, their internal strength was flowing backward!
"Attack…"
One of them trembled and instructed the other three people that had yet to strike their attacks.
Two of them were gunners, accompanied by another ability user!
"Fire Beam!"
The ability user was also a powerful D-tier, the fire beam that was blasted out from his arm was about the size of a wrist, it hit onto Qin Feng's internal shield.
It caused an instant explosion that wounded two other ancient warriors that were beside the shield.
However, the attack was necessary to get them out of the dire situation.
Before he could launch the second attack, Qin Feng had also raised his hand.
Qin Feng was not even equipped with any fire ability rune equipment.
"Fire Beam!"
It was the same fire beam.
However, three separated beams were being blasted out and directed toward the ability user and the two other gunners that had taken out their guns.
The fire beam was being channeled out like a pillar of light, and it was about the size of a human face.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fire beams had instantly hit the targets, and all three of them were being tossed away!
Smack!
The ability user was tossed the furthest, he travelled for about thirty meters before crashing onto a wall, his entire body was charred black.
Meanwhile, two of the gunners already had no signs of life.
As soon as all three of them were taken care of, Qin Feng revoked his conscious energy and initiated his internal strength.
"Asteroid Assimilation!"
The internal strength absorption went rampant and all seven of the ancient warriors were instantly drained out to be dried corpses!
There was not any bit of internal strength left behind, every energy and internal strength from their veins were completely merged into Qin Feng's body.
Within the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had accumulated fifteen uncondensed pockets of internal energy within his body.
Without any doubt, Qin Feng immediately activated his internal strength.
"Repulsive force!"
The suction force repulsed and instantly repelled all seven ancient warriors in an opposite direction, they were all tossed out with their dantian being destroyed and veins being shattered into pieces.
The outcome was the death of all seven of them.
Qin Feng raised his hand again and sent out a formation of fiery red runes that flew toward the dead bodies.
All nine dead bodies were diminished into ashes.
Qin Feng casually lifted his hand and all of the remaining spatial rune equipment were gathered and was soon in Qin Feng's possession.
Qin Feng loosened his grip on Bai Li's waist and walked steadily toward the ability user while flames were being activated on another hand.
The ability user was shocked and immediately stood up.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, "What now, not pretending to be dead anymore?"
The ability user intended to fool Qin Feng by faking his death, however, he soon realized that it was not a viable move as Qin Feng would still come close to collect his spatial rune equipment.
Hence, it was impossible for the ability user to escape from Qin Feng.
However, he would already be dead if Qin Feng had the intention to kill him, right?
"Don't kill me, I can serve you in every way, how about that? From now on, I will be at your service!"
Qin Feng's expression showed that he was disgusted by the cowardly behavior.
However, it was not his first time killing, and it was common for him to see such a behavior!
Only those who had thought that they were invincible would seek for their own death!
It was at that moment; Qin Feng was alerted by a hoarse voice from behind.
"Hand out the spatial rune equipment, or else, she will not live!"
Qin Feng turned around and saw a filthy and emaciated man, he was holding a dagger against Bai Li's neck.
Furthermore, he looked similar to the little boy that he had followed earlier, their worn-out clothes were also the same, however, it seemed to fit better now!
"Bone shrinking? Youth reversal? Quite impressive, however…" Qin Feng smirked, "You do not want to stain my girlfriend's clothes, she will be furious!"
Chapter 431:
Kill and Occupy The Room
As soon as Qin Feng completed his sentence, a ray of silver light had already appeared on the neck of the emaciated man.
The light ray expanded like a wide, opened pitch-black mouth and instantly slit through his neck.
The ancient warrior with worn-out clothes was decapitated!
Bai Li used her conscious energy and repelled the person that was threatening her.
Then, Qin Feng looked back toward the ability user that was left without any support from others.
"Gulp!"
The ability user was terrified and forced himself to stay calm.
The situation that seemed to be favorable for a moment had turned to an unexpected outcome.
He was the only one that was still alive.
"I will spare your life!" Qin Feng spoke casually.
The ability user was stunned by the opportunity offered by Qin Feng and nodded continuously to agree.
"Hmm, I need a decent spot to rest, preferably no interference!" Qin Feng stated.
The ability user nodded again, however, he seemed to have something else tricky in mind.
"Boss, this way, please!"
The ability user covered his chest with his hand and took the lead.
Qin Feng and Bai Li followed; however, they were led to a proper main street where the ability user summoned a hover car.
Both of them got onto the car and it cruised within the City of Death.
Scenery of the surroundings flashed by on both sides of the car, and it was obvious that the people were living in a dire situation.
Ordinary humans also lived within the City of Death, a place that was crowded with slaves, and the presence of women would often be accompanied by the presence of newborns, though nine out of ten of the newborns would not survive the tough living condition. However, the remaining survivors would still contribute toward the population of the City of Death.
The entire place was drowned in dark energy.
As Qin Feng closed his eyes, he was surprised by dark runes in the surroundings that quickly merged into his conscious energy space.
It was unbelievable.
The injured ability user continued to lead the way, soon, they had passed by the slums and entered the city center of the City of Death.
There was still no sunlight available, however, plants still flourished and filled the area, while buildings around the area were more spacious, and it had allowed villas to be aligned in rows.
However, it was a place reserved for the enjoyment of the C-tier aptitude users.
The ability user drove to the entrance of a villa and stopped there.
There was no way for him to enter, as someone else had stopped him down at the entrance!
The ability user got down from the car with ease, then, he went wild and ran behind the guard of the entrance.
"Quick, alert boss, the situation is a little sticky!"
Of course, the ability user was very grateful that he was able to survive.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li had already gotten out from both sides of the car, also, another C-tier aptitude user was already at the entrance of the villa.
As soon as the aptitude user saw Qin Feng and Bai Li, greed and temptation instantly filled his mind.
The ability user was on top of the world in seeing that the C-tier had come out from the main entrance.
"Brother Dong, Brother Dong!"
Liu Dong was known as brother Dong within the City of Death, he was one of the leaders within the city that was dominated by multiple influential parties that had complicated ties between each other. He was also one of the thousand C-tiers in the city; as he was ranked lower within the C-tier hierarchy, his villa was also located at the outer parts of the city.
However, as long as he was a C-tier, he would be entitled to have a prestigious status!
The higher management level had already been alerted by Qin Feng and Bai Li's presence; therefore, Liu Dong had also been tipped off too!
The only thing the city lacked was its low signal strength, and also the absence of unmanned aerial surveillance facilities within the base.
Such methods were not required to reduce crime rate!
The reason was because everyone had the same intention to commit crime, and the city had no control or punishments for that.
Crimes for stealing, killing, there were too many of those!
Liu Dong did not think that the two victims would come to his place on their own.
"Truly unexpected, fortune has fallen on my lap!"
Liu Dong glanced toward Qin Feng and shifted his attention toward Bai Li, obviously, he was surprised by the gorgeous look.
"Hahahaha, kill this little kid, the girl shall remain, I have never seen such a beauty before!"
As soon as Liu Dong commanded, D-tier aptitude users from the surroundings took action.
The ability user was dumbstruck.
"Brother Dong, Eh, don't…"
Unfortunately, nobody could hear the ability user as the surroundings were already filled with noises from the battle cries of the other aptitude users.
"Die!"
Liu Dong did not have many followers with him, and there were only twenty of them; with his presence at the scene, eight of his followers wanted to showcase their contribution by launching their attacks toward Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was only a D-tier; therefore, it was logical for them to think that they had the absolute advantage in killing Qin Feng.
Qin Feng did not spare any mercy either!
Boom!
Both fists punched onto each other, Qin Feng's internal strength surged insanely.
The internal strength of the aptitude user that went against Qin Feng was instantly suppressed, his internal shield was crushed and he was flung aside.
Another two ancient warriors came from both sides and surrounded Qin Feng.
"Dragon Slam!"
Qin Feng clapped and channeled his internal strength into a dragon claw, a dragon roar echoed in the sky and both of the ancient warriors were instantly slammed onto the ground.
Crack! Crack!
The internal shields of both of the D2-tier ancient warriors were immediately destroyed.
Furthermore, they were badly injured by the dragon slam and they were vomiting blood.
Poof!
Qin Feng raised his hand while internal strength gushed out immediately.
"Asteroid Assimilation!"
All of a sudden, both of the opponents were drawn up from the ground while Qin Feng pressed onto them at their stomachs, their internal strengths were flowing in reverse.
Both of them trembled while every pocket of internal strength were being sucked out from their bodies, and they were instantly trashed.
Qin Feng raised his hand again and repulsed, every internal organ of both of his opponents were shattered into pieces and as they fell onto the ground, ashes were scattered all around.
The remaining four aptitude users that were further away were struck dumb.
Needless to say, Liu Dong was also caught unaware.
"B*stard!"
He did not expect to lose two of his followers to Qin Feng at once!
It was an important day to have his followers risk their lives for him as he would be participating in the city's Secret Tower of Death competition that was about to be held at night.
Now, two of them had died, and it would definitely reduce his capabilities.
Total b*stard!
It was Liu Dong's turn to strike!
It only required one hit from Liu Dong to prove his capabilities.
C1-tier.
Although he was not as strong as Lei Ying, his capabilities were still above average, however, when compared against Qin Feng, he was still one tier lower than him.
However, the first hit from Liu Dong was already a deadly move.
It was a highly destructive and sly move, aimed at Qin Feng with overflowing internal strength.
Qin Feng was definitely prepared to take on the sudden attack, he reacted by also raising his hand.
However, a black light suddenly reflected from Liu Dong's fist.
It was a hidden needle, a dark rune equipment.
The pitch-black needle instantly pierced through Qin Feng's internal shield.
Dark abilities were well-known for its cunning and sly approach, such dark rune equipment was frequently used by Liu Dong, however, Qin Feng was unfamiliar with Liu Dong's approach and had not expected such a move from him.
Although it was unexpected, it was still possible for Qin Feng to dodge it.
However, Qin Feng did not wish to!
Poof!
The dark rune needle penetrated into Qin Feng's shoulder and black mist instantly exploded and was smeared onto his shoulder.
Liu Dong laughed in satisfaction.
The needle had always secured victory for Liu Dong.
However, Qin Feng reacted unexpectedly.
Qin Feng ignored the needle and continued summoning with his bare hands.
A lengthy saber appeared, covered with blue flames.
It was the Verdant Emperor Saber!
Swoosh!
Chapter 432: Intimidate
The Verdant Emperor Saber had always been an intimidating and powerful weapon, it was made from countless numbers of materials combined using the Magical Tesseract.
Apart from the mighty internal strength that was being embedded into it, the saber itself was also extremely sharp.
Poof!
A slash landed, and its internal strength collided and neutralized against Liu Dong's internal shield.
However, Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber seemed like it was cutting into a fragile bean curd as it had directly cut through Liu Dong's internal shield!
The exquisitely sharp blades of the saber had been embedded with energy that made it even more horrifying.
Liu Dong did not expect that at all; however, he was quick to react and moved away.
He sprinted backward at high speed and barely dodged the hit from the Verdant Emperor Saber.
His external combat fatigue instantly caught on fire and burnt into ashes, exposing his inner armor.
Golden glimmer!
Surprisingly, the inner armor was made from beast emperor materials.
How could Liu Dong afford such expensive materials?
Qin Feng was a little surprised, only after he had taken another closer look, he realized it was just D-tier beast emperor inner armor.
Despite the high defense capabilities of such inner armors, however, it might still not be able to withstand the attack from the Verdant Emperor Saber.
It was just unfortunate that the saber did not hit on its target earlier.
"Again!"
Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, all of a sudden, he got closer to Liu Dong.
"How could this be possible?!"
Liu Dong was surprised that the sly move had no effect on Qin Feng, however, he was clearly aware that he had failed to secure his victory like he always did!
"No way!"
Being an esteemed C-tier aptitude user himself, Liu Dong assumed that it was impossible for Qin Feng to win the battle.
He was enraged by the unfavorable outcome, and his weapon was drawn out.
Unexpectedly, it was an enlarged spiked bat.
It seemed to be a heavily-weighted bat; however, it could be maneuvered with ease and generate a shocking amount of energy output; it would only require one hit from it to tear down fleshes and skins.
Bang!
Weapons from both sides collided into each other.
The next moment, Liu Dong was being tossed away.
Liu Dong could barely withstand the impact from the massive energy and hold on to his weapon.
He felt like he was being rammed on by a gigantic beast and not a human being.
Qin Feng took advantage of the victorious moment.
Liu Dong immediately noticed that it was another great opportunity to pull out a sly move, he waved his spiked bat again.
Boom boom!
Bang!
Both of them were caught up in an intense battle.
All of the D-tier aptitude users that were in the surrounding had already escaped far away.
The main entrance was being crushed and destroyed, while giant dents were left all around the ground.
The combat energy output from the both of them were insane.
It was at that moment, both weapons collided into each other again, both of their internal shields had disappeared!
Right now!
Liu Dong saw the opportunity, he immediately pressed onto the handle of the spiked bat.
Spikes on the spiked bat immediately retracted inward, and green mist began to appear around the area!
"Dirty ploy!"
Qin Feng mocked.
Would it not be embarrassing for a C-tier to still use these tricks?
Qin Feng's internal shield did not rise up; however, he was immediately shrouded by a dash of flame that circled around him.
The flame had immediately burnt off the poisonous gas, and none of it was able to invade Qin Feng's body.
Nonetheless, from the trick that Liu Dong had pulled off, he had also exposed his own fatal weakness.
Qin Feng immediately took another step forward and pressed his left palm onto Liu Dong's stomach.
"Asteroid Assimilation!"
All of a sudden, a massive suction force was being channeled.
Liu Dong's eyes were opened wide, he was shocked by the reversed flow of internal strength within his body, it was like water gushing out from a released water dam.
Within the blink of an eye, every bit of internal strength within his body was being sucked away by Qin Feng!
"No…ah…"
Liu Dong struggled with all he could, however, he was losing even more energy, finally, he lost grip of his spiked bat!
Qin Feng released his internal strength.
"Repulse!"
Boom!
Liu Dong was like a piece of worn out cloth that fell instantly onto the ground.
Death!
If it were not because of Qin Feng's intention of not drawing too much attention, it would not have taken such a long time to take Liu Dong down.
Despite such concerns, the sudden attack had left the C-tier no chance of escape, anyone could imagine how horrifying it was!
Conscious energy that was spying from other villas in the surroundings had reduced by half.
Qin Feng shifted his attention toward other D-tiers.
"Boss, from now on, you are my boss!"
The ability user that led Qin Feng here earlier immediately yelled again.
However, Qin Feng raised his hand and let out another blast of fire beam!
The fire beam that was about half a meter in diameter had instantly gone through its target's body.
Poof!
The ability user fell onto the ground.
The remaining two ancient warriors were terrified, and they knew that it was useless for them to surrender and forfeit their lives, they immediately fell back and ran away!
Everyone was terrified and started running away!
Qin Feng did bother to stop them either!
Qin Feng slightly lifted his hand, hellfire appeared and burned all four corpses, while the remaining spatial rune equipment was casually tossed into the Battlegod Tomb.
The City of Death also had its place to take care of illegal items, however, the price for exchange was ridiculously high; therefore, Qin Feng did not have to do it the same way as others, he had his own method to outsource the items to other locations.
He was the one who had access to the secret territory, and it was accessible by using the Battlegod Token and not limited by any specific area of access in activating the spatial passage!
After taking care of the corpses at the entrance, Qin Feng and Bai Li went into the villa.
Everyone in the villa was horrified by the scene earlier, it had been years since battle had occurred at that place!
Most importantly, the intruder who initiated the battle had won.
"Master… from now on, you are the new owner of the place… how can I be at your service?"
A person walked out from a room; she was nearly scared to death.
She was an ordinary human.
She was wearing a set of revealing maid attire, although she seemed to have been injected with awakening potion and her physical capabilities were enhanced, however, the weather condition at the City of Death was still too cold to be in such an attire.
Qin Feng swept across the villa with his conscious energy and noticed that the surroundings were crowded with more than ten people, and all of them were females.
All of them were previously Liu Dong's slaves, and toys!
Qin Feng frowned.
"Bring me to the guest room, tidy it up, and remove everything that has already been used before!"
It was disgusting to just imagine what sort of activities Liu Dong had had at the place.
"Alright, understood!"
The woman immediately answered, fortunately, she could live on!
"Before I forget, everyone has to change to a proper attire!" Qin Feng ordered with his deep voice.
'Stop being a bad influence to Bai Li!'
"Alright!"
The woman immediately answered.
Qin Feng settled down at the villa.
It had a luxurious built, and it also came with a training room.
Without wasting any time, Qin Feng began his training in the room.
It had been a while since Qin Feng had been involved in such a massive massacre, his last encounter was at Shadong Town!
To be precise, it had been a while since he had killed someone with his Asteroid Assimilation skill!
Furthermore, he had killed more than ten ancient warriors within the day itself, and there were already thirty clusters of internal energy within his dantian, all of them from somebody else.
"Devour!"
Qin Feng immediately started devouring, solidifying, and reversing the internal strength, and it soon became fifty-six clusters of internal energy!
It was a viable and exponential approach for Qin Feng to advance his ranking by just constantly seeking for kills, with his ancient warrior identity, he could easily achieve A-tier in less than half a year!
However, it was not what he wanted.
Chapter 433: Secret Tower of Death
Before reincarnating, Qin Feng's A-tier was just the strength of a regular "powerful person". If he did not have his Absorption ability, he might not have been able to obtain the title of "Mercenary Lord".
Sure, A-tier was still quite a privileged title. But, there was still a huge difference between the A-tiers.
If he wanted to be an A-tier, Qin Feng would choose to be the God of the A-tiers.
"Phew!"
Qin Feng blew out a breath of convoluted air, easing up his body.
His strength and skills had now been refined to a new level again!
After taking a short break, Qin Feng took out the Godwill Atlas and continued on training.
Other than engaging combat in the wilderness, Qin Feng had been using the rest of his time to train and hone his skills.
If he wanted to ascend to the top of the A-tiers, he must work harder—even harder than he did before he reincarnated.
However, he did not have long to continue training with the arts from the Godwill Atlas.
Qin Feng frowned as he sensed that someone had intruded into the villa.
Qin Feng had no underlings under his tutelage at the moment. Hence, no one was around to stop intruders from getting into his home. Not only that, his villa was not a fancy one—it was connected with the other villas, like a terraced town house. It had its own "garden" but it was more like a small lawn; its main entrance was still not fully repaired yet.
It was quite easy for anyone to walk straight into his home.
And that was not all. This intruder was actively releasing his aura and presence. It was almost like he was taunting him!
In the villa, other than Liu Dong's slave, the other servants were scared shitless, breathing heavily as they shook in fear!
Frowning, Bai Li walked out from her room upstairs.
Qin Feng too stood up and opened his door, looking at the intruder.
It was an E-tier ancient warrior!
Qin Feng immediately released his own presence and aura, enveloping the ancient warrior.
His aura was so powerful and intimidating that the warrior felt as though the space and dimension around him were imploding.
"Pfft!!!!"
In an instant, the ancient warrior threw up a mouthful of blood, indicating that his internal organs had suffered huge damage.
"Thud!"
The E-tier ancient warrior was now kneeling on the floor. The powerful aura that he had emitted earlier was now gone!
"Leave us!" Bai Li scanned her surroundings as she ordered.
"Ye…Yes, ma'am!" the servants, who seemed to have received great pardon for their crimes of letting an intruder in, quickly ran into a small room in the villa and dared not to come out anymore!
Although their new owners seemed to not care for them, they did treat them well. At the very least, they did not torture them. Nonetheless, these owners were still too weak, as evidenced by this hostile man who came knocking on their doors when they had barely settled down.
Qin Feng sat on the sofa as he stared down at the E-tier ancient warrior, who was still kneeling on the floor.
"You… I am Master Cheng's underling!" that E-tier ancient warrior said calmly.
Qin Feng smirked. "It doesn't matter who your master is, you're still an underling. If you're weak, then you've got no place to be here. Do you have a death wish?"
The E-tier ancient warrior clenched his teeth. "If you want to kick a dog, you still gotta check who its master is. How dare you offend Master Cheng!"
Qin Feng scoffed, "Oh? So you're acknowledging that you're a dog, huh? This is the first time I've seen anyone admit his real identity!"
That ancient warrior's face turned black in an instant. It was quite evident that he was pissed after hearing what Qin Feng said.
"Don't get too cocky, Qin Feng. Don't think that you own this place! You're new here, so you better learn the rules here! City of Death isn't the Human Alliance's colonies!"
Qin Feng smirked again, "So what? Other than Secret Tower of Death, there's nothing here all that different between here and the colonies."
The ancient warrior was stunned after hearing this.
"You knew!"
Qin Feng gave the ancient warrior a cold grin.
How would he not know? This Secret Tower of Death was the reason he came to the City of Death.
Of course, other than this, there was also another reason!
Seeing that Qin Feng's aura was still enveloping him, the Ancient Warrior clenched his teeth and said, "Here, this is the invitation from Master Cheng. Tomorrow night, you must attend the expedition in the Secret Tower of Death. Or else, you better get ready to face a whole world of hurt!"
Qin Feng retorted coldly, "Invitation? Him? So, if I head to the tower, who am I representing? Him? So, if I were to gain anything from the expedition, he'll get all the goodies?"
"Of course!"
"Is he retarded? I can murder the sh*t out of a C-tier at a whim. And he wants me to work for him? Who does he think he is? Does he think he is a B-tier aptitude user?"
There were only a handful of B-tier aptitude users in the City of Death. Yet, they all did not care to respond to this Master Cheng's invitation.
Qin Feng had no idea who this Master Cheng was. And even if he knew who he was, there was no way he would work under another man.
The Ancient Warrior gulped down a spit of blood in his mouth and continued saying, "That isn't my problem. I've delivered the invitation for Master Cheng. If you're unwilling to comply, I'll have to deliver your refusal to him myself then."
And if Master Cheng knew that Qin Feng had denied his invitation, this Qin Feng would probably not live to see tomorrow's sunrise.
"Oh, there's no need. This isn't a place that anyone can step in whenever they want without consequence. So, if you want to leave, you're walking out a dead man."
"Master Cheng would make you pay!"
Staring at Qin Feng, the ancient warrior seemed to be displaying fear!
He realized that Qin Feng did not seem to be joking.
And he could not help but to feel some fleeting regrets too. He had been using Master Cheng as his shield for far too long, to the point where he had forgotten that this world was a dog-eat-dog world.
The other people had been speaking to him respectfully, not because of who he was but because he was Master Cheng's underling. They did not fear him—they feared Master Cheng.
And if he was meeting a newcomer who did not care about this at all, he was nothing but a lowly E-tier ancient warrior.
"Oh, make me pay?" Qin Feng smirked, "If I let you go, he will still come f*ck with me anyway. We have started off on the wrong foot already and there's nothing in it for me to fix this. So, there's no point in letting you go."
After finishing his words, Qin Feng raised his hand and extended his internal force, which formed a pair of massive palms, straggling the ancient warrior.
"Twist!"
Without any hesitation, Qin Feng snapped the ancient warrior's neck and threw him out of the door. The corpse was thrown out all the way to the main road—any passerby could see the corpse just outside of his villa.
Having any person dead in the City of Death was just a day-to-day thing to most people here. It was the "City of Death" after all. However, it was quite uncommon for anyone to die in the villa area.
Word spread quickly and things quickly escalated.
In just a few moments, the corpse was quickly carried away!
"Geez, that newcomer dared to offend Master Cheng!"
"Isn't that Qin Feng still a D-tier aptitude user? How could he be so reckless?"
"Oooh, his bounty is now 100 billion! Now that's a target!"
However, most people were just observing from afar.
Qin Feng had, after all, murdered Liu Dong just a while ago. This had made the others think twice before crossing him.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, was listening to the intranet in the City of Death. Being located underground, the City of Death not only could receive communication from other cities via network, it also had its own intra network.
This network was built by the real owner of the City of Death. One of its main purposes was to send out invitations to raid the Secret Tower of Death every week. Each invitation could be bought with 1,000 power credit. If one wanted to place a bet, they would also need to buy a spectator ticket.
This was about the same when Qin Feng was participating in the underground tournament in Chengbei. Or, the one at Chengyang Arena too.
Gambling always brought great fortune for the organizer, and occasionally the participants.
Qin Feng bought an invitation and a spectator ticket.
Bai Li was not allowed to join the raid.
The Secret Tower of Death was a Secret Territory. It would always be pressed by a powerful dimensional pressure and bound by some specific rules and laws. This would make the one entering it having to endure great pressure.
Especially to the C-tiers.
And Bai Li was a C-tier beast emperor. It would be unwise for her to go in.
But, if she stayed outside of the tower, she could still place a bet and gamble!
Chapter 434: Descending The Tower
After ordering the invitation and ticket on the network, a black-robed man showed up in Qin Feng's villa in just mere minutes!
The others who were observing Qin Feng's villa too had noticed the arrival of the black-robed man.
This black-robed man was an official agent from the authorities of the City of Death and also, naturally, an underling of the owner of the City of Death.
After Qin Feng made the payment, the man left the merchandise with him and left.
The black-robed men had a nickname—the "Death Messengers".
Because out of ten people who received these invitations, usually nine of them would not make it back home after entering the raid.
Checking the invitation, Qin Feng saw that he was "Number 277". This meant that up until minutes ago, there were already two hundred seventy seven people signing up.
It was not an impressive number. However, if all of them were D-tier aptitude users, this would mean a lot! With them, it would be enough to take on a massive ultra beast wave at Shadong Town!
And that was not all, by tomorrow morning, there would be even more people participating.
Qin Feng calmly put the items he purchased earlier away.
***
The next day, the sky in the City of Death was still very grey and dark. There was no way for them to see the sunlight, thus resulting in this gloomy atmosphere in the city. When Qin Feng arrived at his destination, he saw a group of people fuming with murderous intent there.
They were all emitting a surge of berserking scent. It felt as though if anyone were to light up a match in front of them, they would all explode in an instant!
And there were about two thousand of them at the scene.
Of course, not all of them were participants—in fact, most of them were spectators.
Standing in the middle of the crowd were two hundred C-tier aptitude users. As for the ones standing behind them, there were a whole mix of people; it was quite difficult to determine who were the participants in the crowd behind the C-tiers.
There were also the others who shied away from everyone, only daring to stay at the outer rims of the crowd. These seemed to be the ones who had no powerful dependents to rely on, thus taking cautious steps all the way was their way of life. Some of them were E-tier aptitude users.
Of course, they were not here to participate. It was most likely that they were here to gamble.
There were not many means for E-tiers to make a living. Heading out of the city alone would cost them 10 power credits, and they might not be able to even afford it.
Hence, to most people in the city, trades were usually done via barters. Most of the people in the city sold their bodies, or volunteered themselves as labor to exchange for some scraps of food. If not, all that was left for them to do was to try to kill bounties.
Besides, even if they wanted to leave the city, they would most likely be harassed by the guards—who were mostly D-tiers. If E-tiers insisted in disobeying them, the result would be them being slaughtered right away.
In other words, the city was a death trap for the weak, and there was no way out!
A moment later, the clock struck 12 noon. The black-robed men finally walked out of the building!
As usual, they stood there without saying anything. Even their presence was carefully hidden too.
They then took out dimensional devices from their pockets and started to set them up.
A few minutes later, a huge dimensional gate appeared before everyone's eyes.
The C-tiers were quick to rush into the gate. In fact, some of them almost got into an unnecessary brawl for wanting to enter first.
Yet, rules did not matter to the Dark Coalition. They did not even care about their allies' or foes' strength. However, there was one thing that they cared about—pride. If a person gave another a dirty look, or grunted something unpleasant, a brawl would usually erupt in an instant!
Qin Feng and Bai Li stood behind the crowd, keeping a low profile.
This was not due to their presence being weaker than the others but it was because Qin Feng had released some dark runes, hiding his own presence.
Of course, the others would still be able to see him. However, they would not pay much attention to his existence.
To do this, it required him to put extra focus to hide his presence.
Therefore, Qin Feng had walked through the dimensional gate without conflicts.
Then, his surroundings changed into a fully sealed Secret Territory.
There was a huge hole, thousands of meters in size, in front of Qin Feng.
Not only that, there were also fifty levels, each twenty meters in height. These levels were emitting some weird, robust aura that excited one if one were to get close.
There was nothing at the first ten levels. However when they descended to the 12th level, they saw some bones.
It was the bones of a Golden-scaled Python King!
This thing was so familiar to Qin Feng!
Not only that, there were also other stuff laying around.
The scales of Crimson Dragon!
Silver Feathers!
Purple Dusk Silk!
Pyro Dust!
The further they descended down, the rarer the materials they found along the way. At the 30th level, they found a red, crimson stone.
According to the data archive of the Human Alliance, this was the "Rejuvenating Stone". The stone possessed potent red energy on it, ensuring that whoever that carried it would not die!
The item was a B-tier emperor class item. Of course, even the G-tier aptitude users could use it too.
The lower they went, the better the items they found.
Qin Feng even found a Dawnstar at the 35th level.
This was such a good find!
And yet, the others did not seem to mind all that much. All they did was calmly scan their surroundings before putting on their participant badges.
Some C-tiers even took out tables and chairs from their pocket dimensions and sat on them.
"Hey, Master Li. Have you become a chicken after losing so much in the last round?"
"Master Qian, that's a lot of people you're bringing with you. Just how many levels are you descending today?"
"Hehe, Master Cheng. It seems that you're gonna need to give it your all this time, huh?"
Various voices were vibrating in Qin Feng's ears.
At this moment Qin Feng could feel a sharp murderous intent aiming at him.
Looking toward the direction where the murderous intent was coming from, Qin Feng could see a middle-aged C4-tier man grinning as he glared at him. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"There was a certain moron who forgot his place yesterday. We need to teach him a lesson!"
There were seven D-tier Aptitude Users standing around him. It was quite obvious that they too had brought their invitations.
These invitation cards were the same as the Human Alliance badges. The numbers that were on the cards could be seen clearly on their chests.
Qin Feng knew this was the "Master Cheng" that the dead twerp who intruded his villa worked for yesterday.
After giving him a brief, cold look, Qin Feng proceeded to ignore him!
It was at this moment, the black-robed men activated the intranet in the area. As soon as that happened, bets started to rain into the gambling pot.
It did not take long for Qin Feng to find himself on the list. After seeing the rate, he could not help but frown.
He was a newcomer, thus he was placed quite low in the ranks.
Five ranks was a huge gap in the Secret Tower of Death.
If there were no bets in the four ranks before you, the one at the 5th rank would receive a betting odd.
Yet, Qin Feng did not have one!
Then, after a while, on the 10th level, Qin Feng got himself a 10:1 odd.
Only when he had reached the 10th level, one then could bet 10 power credit on him and win 1 power credit.
15 levels was 5:1.
20 levels was 2:1.
25 levels was 1:1.
30 levels was 1:2.
In other words, this would not make him much money.
Of course, if he could reach to 35 levels and above, he would have better odds. However, Qin Feng did not intend to do that.
The loot at the 35th level would probably be so valuable that even a B-tier would skip a beat when seeing it. Yet, those were not things Qin Feng wanted.
It was then, the sky of the Secret Tower of Death exploded in a burst of silver rays! A huge dimensional passage, one that was several hundred meters wide, appeared! Then, hundreds and thousands of garbage pieces were poured out of the dimensional passage, filling the lower part of the tower!
Chapter 435: Gambling Odds of 400
Most of the goodies were all scattered at the lower areas.
Thus, when the trash was poured down from above, some of the good loots were flushed up to the 10 or 20-ish levels.
As dust burst out into the air, several glimmers of shining reflection of the loot could be seen from the outside!
The energy that was vibrating from these rare loots were quite attractive to everyone who had seen it!
Even Qin Feng, an extensively knowledgeable man, had never seen some of them. However, they were definitely good loot!
Everyone's eyes widened as they saw the loots in the air.
Several C-tiers even lost their cool as they saw them.
Even though they were not able to scan the items for long, they quickly ordered their teammates to start moving.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng's communicator started ringing.
"5 minutes before Registration!"
"10 minutes before Betting!"
Oh, there was still time to register?
Suddenly Qin Feng had an idea as he quickly scanned the area.
The people that were scanned by him did not even notice Qin Feng's scanning.
These people were E-tier aptitude users.
Suddenly, Qin Feng was stunned when he saw a young man.
This man was just about 18 or 19 years old, about 170 cm tall, and looked as thin as a matchstick!
However, his eyes were glowing with red glares, like the eyes of wolves.
Despite his weak appearance, he was actually tough! Yet, his tier was a measly "E".
In the City of Death, the E-tiers were the weakest of the weak. Most of them could only get a janitorial job in the tower and City of Death. Yet, this kid seemed different. He was strong.
He was a man who lived all his life in the Secret Tower of Death. Being able to live through that whopping 19 years in this dog-eat-dog world was enough to toughen him up.
He was now as tough and as fierce as a true champion!
Qin Feng knew who that kid was.
This kid, in the future, would fight his way out of this Secret Tower of Death and become the best bounty hunter in the Bounty Hunter Network and fiercest hitman in the Dark Hitmen Network!
An A-tier Super Star—Jin Fei!
Qin Feng was so surprised to see him here.
Right now, Jin Fei was still struggling in the City of Death, still finding his way out of this hell hole!
Qin Feng cultivated some of his internal force and vibrated his voice into Jin Fei's ears, "I'll get you an Exit Ticket and bring you out of the tower later. And I'll share 1% of my earnings in this raid, deal?"
Jin Fei was stunned when he heard Qin Feng's words!
1% was probably around 100 power credits. It might not mean much in the world outside but in the City of Death alone that was a lot of money. And Jin Fei did not come to the Tower to gamble.
He had no interest in gambling. He had no money to gamble.
Yet, whenever the Secret Tower of Death opened up, Jin Fei would always show up. Because he wanted to observe and learn. He was a genius in learning ancient warriors' martial arts.
However, Qin Feng's words were quite surprising to him.
Jin Fei knew just how dangerous the Secret Tower of Death was.
Qin Feng said he would give him some shares of his loot. That sounded good and all but to him this meant asking him to give up his life for him.
Besides, Jin Fei had no idea who this person was! Still, even if this came from a D-tier aptitude user, he needed to heed to this demand. Or else, he would be murdered by this person.
The first thing that crossed his mind was—just who had he offended and crossed lately!
Suddenly, a man walked by him, and lightly pushed him!
In the next moment, there was a small bag in Jin Fei's hands!
It did not take long for him to realize that the heavy stuff inside the bag was tons of power credits!
1,000 power credits. This was a sudden increase of fat for Jin Fei's wallet. But this was also a huge problem for him.
"Go. Time for registration is going to close up soon."
Qin Feng's words were firm and unwavering, giving him a sense of threat.
Of course, Qin Feng did not intend to threaten him. His only purpose was to help Jin Fei find a way out of the City of Death. If he got out, he would become one of the sharpest blades on the planet. He did not want to lose any chance in capitalizing this human asset.
Yet, all he saw in Jin Fei's eyes right now was fear. Nothing but fear and dread.
He suddenly realized something—Jin Fei, at this time, was still a weakling!
He was so weak that this "golden opportunity" that Qin Feng thought he was offering him was nothing but a glorious death sentence!
Still, Qin Feng did not intend to give up on him yet. So, he decided to threaten and urge him to register.
Of course, this did not work too well either. Only 3 minutes left before the registration would close up and Jin Fei was still hesitating.
"Bai Li, do it."
Qin Feng could not wait anymore; so, he ordered Bai Li to help him out.
In an instant, Bai Li's psionic energy bubbled up around Jin Fei.
"Go!"
Jin Fei's eyes were filled with despair as he realized what was going on—Psionic Control!
Bai Li was a C-tier beast emperor; so, her Psionic power was quite strong. It was quite easy for her to control Jin Fei.
Under the influence of Bai Li, Jin Fei walked toward the black-robed men and registered a place in the Secret Tower of Death with the 1,000 power credits.
The black-robed men were surprised when they saw Jin Fei registering.
Jin Fei was an E-tier aptitude user so he also had a communicator. This meant that he had some personal details recorded in it too. After double checking it, the black-robed men confirmed that he was indeed an E-tier!
"E-tier? Do you have a death wish? Know that if you regret later, we won't return this money to you!"
After collecting the power credits, they gave Jin Fei an invitation card to put on his chest.
It was Number 444!
"Death Death Death"! What an unlucky number!
Jin Fei marched to Qin Feng step by step and then stood behind him. It seemed as though he was doing this against his will.
Finally, the time for registration was closed up. The bets were raining into the pot.
In the vast number of bets, Jin Fei was like a thorn among the roses in the midst of all the D-tiers. And no one dared to bet on Jin Fei.
Most of them who were betting were C-tiers that were renown in the City of Death. They would usually bet on their own underlings and win the winnings. And meanwhile, their underlings would need to work together to snipe others so that their bosses could win their bets.
Of course, these underlings also needed to come back alive. If they were to win and acquire loads of loots but died along the way, their bosses would not get even a dime.
As for Jin Fei, his odds were quite ridiculous!
His betting odds were stacking by tens and hundreds after passing the 5th levels. If he could survive till the 30th level, the one who bet on them would get 400 times their money!
Of course, this was probably to draw some spectacles for this raid by the authority!
"Bai Li. Lay down your bet on Number 444. It's 400 times your money. You could get 10 billion in one go!"
"Okay, I'll put all of my money in. We could get 4 trillion this way!"
Bai Li walked away giggling, laying down her bet!
Jin Fei was still under Bai Li's control so he could not move a muscle at all. Yet, he was still conscious.
It felt as though Jin Fei's body was a house and Bai Li had taken control of it, forcing him to a corner of a wall. Yet, he could still hear whatever that was said outside.
Jin Fei did not know if he wanted to roar out in anger or smirk in amusement!
"400 odds? In your dreams!"
It was not just Jin Fei, even the black-robed men thought the same too. They thought Bai Li had totally lost her mind! Number 444 is just an E-tier!
Yet, this was not an uncommon sight. There were also some people who tended to opt to protect a certain participant to earn the winnings of great odds. Still, the chance for him to survive until the 30th level was quite ridiculous!
