Chapter 237 - 460-471

Chapter 460: A Mountain Out of Nowhere

"Welcome, my distinguished guest. It was thanks to your help that we could handle this rare occurrence of the beast horde. I have prepared a small gift as a sign of gratitude. Hope you will like it." Ah Psai signaled for his man to hand out the gift to Qin Feng.

It was a wine that was filled in an elegant crystal barrel. Of course, this gift did not come cheap.

The wine was brewed using special spirit fruit found in Psipur City. One bottle of this was priced at a few ten thousand in the outside world. One barrel might be worth at least 10 million, which happened to equal the reward for killing an E-tier plow worm.

"Thanks, Chief."

Ah Psai laughed heartily. "I wonder why an aptitude user of your caliber is here in Psipur? Perhaps you are also interested in the treasure rumored to be hidden in the heart of the mountain ridge?"

"To be honest, that's exactly my purpose here." Qin Feng admitted calmly.

Jin Fei and Guo Song were not told anything and thought that was the true objective of Qin Feng coming to Psipur.

Ah Psai's laugh became louder and he said, "Haha! Then I hope you get what you come here for!"

Qin Feng raised his cup and drank merrily with Ah Psai.

But on the inside, Qin Feng had long seen through the chief's true skin and scoffed at his pretentious generosity.

There was only danger lurking in the mountains of Psipur. All the fake news about the hidden treasure was purportedly spread by none other than Ah Psai himself.

For instance, there was a record on the battle net claiming that an F-tier had infiltrated the mountains before. He discovered a bone in the process, which he later found belonged to an A-tier beast emperor and earned a few ten billion.

Another case recorded that a small expedition team went into the mountains and came across rare wild herb there. The team members turned against each other for the herbs and all ended up dead inside the mountain and were never seen again.

Information like this was aplenty from multiple sources but Qin Feng knew they were all just smokescreen.

A diversion created by Ah Psai. He did so because Pispur did not belong to the human alliances. He was afraid that some powerful aptitude user might fancy his colony and rob it from him.

Thus, he diverted these aptitude users' attention by claiming that there were treasures in the mountains.

If needed, he would even go as far as to poison the visitors to protect his throne.

Simply put, the chief of Psipur was a narrow-minded man. He clung tightly onto the position and did not want to surrender it to anyone.

Qin Feng did not expose the man. After all, he had his own Aircraft outside of the city and had no interest in moving in.

Ah Psai suspected nothing or perhaps he did not see Qin Feng as a great threat. Hence, he did not poison Qin Feng's wine.

It mattered not whether Ah Psai applied the poison or not. Because anyone who entered the mountains almost always encountered miasma that was highly lethal to humans. Qin Feng would not live long anyway if his intention were really those fake treasures.

These incidents were revealed when the Human Alliance finally decided to hunt down Ah Psai for his crime.

But this had nothing to do with Qin Feng. Different people had different means to gain power. In exchange, they needed to prepare to face the potential consequence.

Eventually, what goes around comes around.

After the feast, Qin Feng did not stay for long and returned to his aircraft.

Ah Psai's subordinate reported back to Ah Psai immediately after he escorted Qin Feng back to the aircraft.

"Chief, I don't think that guy has any ill-intent against our city. But he owns an aircraft that I have never seen before. It looks rather high-tech."

The subordinate then showed Ah Psai the aircraft through a communicator.

The communicator technology of course had long reached Psipur City. He just never allowed it to popularize among his people. He had to keep people in Psipur uninformed about the outside world to maintain his authority.

Ah Psai saw Qin Feng's aircraft and was drooling over it. But then he shook his head regrettably.

"It's too huge. We have no use for it even if we raid it from him now. Just wait and see what he is up to."

"Roger!"

***

After Qin Feng returned to the aircraft, he ordered his members to walk around freely and hunt as they like. He also gave them permission to keep the rewards.

People from the City of Death were mostly penniless. They were especially motivated when allowed to earn extra income.

Even Guo Guan had picked up his gun and walked toward the mountains.

Qin Feng did not touch the gaea crystal in the meantime. He wanted to let it accumulate first then only harvest them altogether.

The next morning, seismic movements once again erupted from all directions. The quake area was even larger this time and it approached Qin Feng's aircraft fast.

The highway near Psipur had completely collapsed as a result of the shock.

Numerous insectoids emerged from the ground and once again formed a monster wave.

Qin Feng reached the frontline earlier as always.

"Hellfire Carpet!"

Qin Feng burned the insectoids rapidly. He wanted to prevent the gaea crystals from being swallowed wastefully by the monsters.

However, it was hard for Qin Feng to spread his consciousness too deep into the solid ground. Hence, he could not really grasp the actual situation underground.

Still, Qin Feng was able to garner more crystals than he did yesterday.

The same thing repeated on the third, fourth, and fifth day…

Qin Feng continued to pile up the crystals and accumulated up to a trillion by the end of the fifth day.

On the sixth day, an unprecedented earthquake broke out and shocked everyone.

It was midafternoon and the shockwaves reached as far as Psipur City. The residents there were deeply terrified and fell into chaos.

Qin Feng stood on top of the aircraft and looked at the far side.

Jin Fei, Guo Guan, and Guo Song were baffled by what they saw on the horizon.

An elevation raised from the plains out of nowhere.

The giant mountain spanned as far as the eyes could see. Dense energy emanated out from the abruptly appearing mountain and chased numerous monsters nearby toward Qin Feng's direction.

Jin Fei rounded his eyes. "This, this is…" He once again felt overwhelmed and was completely oblivious about the situation around here.

The number of insectoids bursting out from the mountains was atrocious.

"Stay here. Bai Li, let's go!"

Qin Feng did not have Bai Li by his side in the last few days. After all, the battles before were largely effortless. However, this here was on an entirely different scale now.

The gaea crystals emerged in a large quantity along with the mountain's appearance.

"Quick! Gather as much crystal as possible," Qin Feng said to Bai Li.

"Okay!"

It might be difficult for others but this was just a piece of cake for Bai Li.

Qin Feng began to climb the mountain. The peak was still elevating and a lot of rocks were rolling past him.

He suddenly spotted a basketball-sized crystal not very far ahead.

Qin Feng rushed to it the first time.

This was when a bulge appeared on the ground and sent a crystal high up into the air.

A giant plow worm emerged from the bulge and directly swallowed the large crystal into its stomach.

The plow worm transformed instantly after it consumed the giant size crystal. Its initially soft exterior was now covered by a shell. Scales began to extend out from the shell and its head also transformed drastically from having a huge maw into a featureless face.

The monster had evolved on the spot. It became exceptionally daunting as compared to before. From an E-tier, the plow worm had directly evolved into a D-tier beast king.

Chapter 461: Ah Psai Blocked the News

Qin Feng was exasperated that the monster beat him to it.

He raised his hand and drew the Verdant Emperor Saber from his spatial equipment.

Slash!

A powerful beam was unleashed from the saber and it was scorching like magma.

"Chirp!"

Even though it had reached D-tier, the attack was still too much to bear for the plow worm. The earth-type shell that it had just acquired instantly shattered under the attack.

The monster shrieked painfully and attempted to escape underground.

'Don't you dare run away from me!'

Qin Feng maneuvered the fire runes with his consciousness.

"Hell Magma!"

The ground under Qin Feng instantly turned into a pool of magma.

The plow worm cried hysterically with half of its body submerged inside the magma. The scale on its shell was melted away by the blistering magma.

Its body jerked continuously and the plow worm was nearing its end within a few minutes after its glorious evolution.

Qin Feng gave it the final blow with his saber.

'Die!'

The plow worm was cut into half and the struggling upper part froze and dropped into the magma pool as well.

Qin Feng triggered his consciousness and retrieved two crystals out of the pool.

One of them was of course the large gaea crystal, while the other one was the energy core of the beast king.

A thin outer layer had been absorbed from the former but the power was already great enough to turn an E-tier into a D-tier beast king.

Qin Feng kept the two crystals in his storage and looked up again. The mountains had gone even higher. A lot of clods slid down the hill as a result of the upward momentum. More gaea crystals were unearthed as the soil slipped. The insectoids were all over the crystals as soon as they surfaced.

"Chirp!"

An iron beetle engulfed one piece of gaea crystal and transfigured rapidly. Its body turned from black into silver, then gold, and finally became crystal clear.

A D-tier beast emperor. This monster must have eaten something extraordinary.

Qin Feng could not care less about the scattered crystals and charge straight at the D-tier beast emperor.

Qin Feng's internal force was almost equivalent to B1-tier now. Besides, his Verdant Emperor Saber was a God's weapon and extremely sharp. This combination was more than enough to finish off the D-tier beast.

"Blazing Sky!"

A glaring fuchsia beam unleashed from the saber and penetrated the crystal beetle with ease.

Before the emperor beast had the chance to showcase its supremacy, it was killed instantly by Qin Feng's saber. The gaea crystal and its power core were snatched by Qin Feng.

Other than that, the Beetle Emperor's pure life force also flowed into Qin Feng after it was killed.

Within the short time Qin Feng used to kill the beast emperor, various insectoids on the mountain experienced the same transfiguration as the crystal beetle. In that short span, ample beast generals, beast kings, and at least a dozen of beast emperors were shaped on the mountain.

The concentrated group of high-level beasts would petrify any E-tier aptitude user.

Even a D-tier aptitude user would find it hard to move and be suffocated by the immense pressure.

Qin Feng knew that it was only a matter of days before C-tiers would begin to start roaming this mountain. By that time, this place would be declared a forbidden area and only true elects could set foot on this mountain.

This was why Qin Feng did not bring along Jin Fei and the others. They would not survive this horrendous swamp of insectoid for more than half an hour.

Qin Feng was no longer busy looking for gaea crystals. He just started killing all the evolved insectoids because they must have engulfed the crystal, saving him the trouble.

"Decaying Rain!"

Instantly, a dark cloud appeared above the mountain and covered almost half of the area.

A pair of blue-flamed wings appeared behind Qin Feng. He ascended and hovered in mid-air while scanning the insectoids that kept popping out from the mountain ground.

Even an armadillo had evolved into a ten-meter-long beast. The beast king swerved about recklessly and stampeded numerous smaller insectoids.

As a monster, its size did give the armadillo a lot of advantage. But it also presented itself as an easier target under the corrosive rain.

"Fiery Rampant!"

A straight line of fire appeared on top of the beast king, which had been greatly weakened by Decaying Rain.

"Blooming Flame!"

The crimson flame above it bloomed in multiple directions and one of the flame swords instantly cut off the monster's giant head.

Poof!

Its blood spilled all over the place.

Qin Feng had no use of the beast king corpse and burned it into ashes using hellfire. All that was left were its power core and the gaea crystal that had yet to be digested by the armadillo.

He could not stop killing after that. The maddening slaughter went on endlessly.

The earth continued to elevate until it became a high plain. It did not stop expanding and was about to turn into a mountain ridge.

The monsters around the area continuously consumed the enriched crystal and turned into powerful beast kings and emperors. They came out from the underground hurriedly to avoid being buried but unbeknownst to them, a more dangerous foe was waiting for them in the sky.

Qin Feng killed any beast that came into his sight for 24 hours straight. The mountain ridge was still expanding and the place where Qin Feng was at had become the center of the continuous mountains.

Nobody would come to disturb him here.

Of course, his whereabouts were still known to those observing him from the aircraft.

"Our boss is invincible!"

"I am greatly inspired after watching him fight. Unfortunately, the monsters he is facing are not too powerful. Otherwise, we might get to see some of his best ultimates!"

"I wonder how strong he would become if he were to fight 100%?"

The people in the aircraft watched the annihilation excitedly.

"Only people like Qin Feng could survive in such a dangerous place."

"I agree. Look at Psipur's troop. Didn't you see how they were being chased back to his warm castle?" Jin Fei lamented in an admiring tone.

The others nodded. The quake could be felt as far as Psipur so Ah Psai had sent his men to check on the situation. Unfortunately, they could not even cross the first wave of insectoids.

They did not understand what was happening. After they went back, they even cautiously constructed a defense line in front of their city in preparation against the monster horde.

To their surprise, the monsters did not go near their city at all but lingered around the newly-elevated mountains.

Not only that but those D1-tier monsters suddenly transformed into D6-tier overnight. They would probably enter C-tier if given another day.

A theory slowly formed in Ah Psai's bewildered mind.

"Something special must have occurred near the mountain range."

With this thought in mind, Ah Psai immediately sent a team to hunt down a D-tier beast king. The team fought painstakingly to finally take down one D-tier insectoid. From the corpse, they had successfully retrieved a small piece of gaea crystal.

Ah Psai reflexively warned his team not to leak the news out of Psipur.

Chapter 462: Psipur Holy Mountain

Hence, the outside world was not informed about the strange phenomenon that occurred near Psipur on the first day.

However, other dominant tribes near Psipur had of course planted their own informants inside the city so the news eventually broke out after one day.

Now, almost every aptitude user knew that gaea crystals had emerged abundantly near the remote, lawless territory. This was a resource that even an A-tier would yearn for.

Those who got the news wished to rush there immediately.

However, A-tier aptitude users were usually a ruler and could not travel spontaneously.

Thus, only those of B-tier or lower could come to Psipur. Nonetheless, ranked officers such as Guang Wei that was entitled to defend Longchuan could not leave their position as they wished.

As such, B-tiers were scarce too while C-tiers were aplenty.

D-tiers, needless to say, were the main force, but their impact was also the most minimal.

This was because the monsters that came along with the elevated mountains were at least E-tier and above. They would instantly evolve after engulfing the rich gaea crystal.

For D-tier aptitude users, monsters that could instantly turn into D-tier beast kings were disastrous.

It would be days before the other aptitude users reached here. Qin Feng was the first to the scene so he had earned plenty.

The mountains just kept growing. Ah Psai's men were blocked at the perimeter while Qin Feng continuingly piled up his crystal collection. The number of insectoid kings and emperors he had killed were beyond count.

On the third day, a large crowd began to gather at the Psipur mountains.

"Bai Li, let's head back!" Qin Feng came out from his killing mood and contacted Bai Li with his consciousness.

Schwaff!

Bai Li appeared right next to him immediately. Even Bai Li was tainted by soil after plowing through soil collecting gaea crystal non-stop for three straight days.

Qin Feng knew that the number of crystals they had amassed was only about 10% of the total mine.

With more aptitude users gathering, Qin Feng feared that he might become the consensus target again if people were to realize that he had been mining freely in the mountains way ahead of everyone.

Qin Feng and Bai Li returned to the aircraft.

He took a long shower to cleanse himself from bloodstain and dirt. He went to the cockpit afterward.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

Everyone was nodding to Qin Feng. They had all witnessed Qin Feng's battle prowess from the aircraft in the past three days. They looked at him with great respect.

Because he had killed too many monsters, the shower did not completely rid the bloody smell on his body. The smell was an accumulation of different beast kings and emperors. The remaining aura was still pretty deterring.

"What's the current situation?" Qin Feng asked.

Jin Fei answered hastily, "Ah Psai from Psipur has the mountains surrounded. He said that this is their Holy Mountain and people who dare to invade recklessly would be punished. Our men did not set foot in it and only hover around the perimeter. He can't stop us from the ground anyway."

"Okay!" Qin Feng nodded. The name "Psipur Holy Mountain" had indeed been used since the olden days but this did not mean that it belonged to Psipur city.

"More and more aptitude users have gathered around here today but most of them are D-tiers. They only wander around the perimeter like us. These groups are probably scouts and I believe there would be more to come since the news is all over the battle net now."

"Then let's wait for another day. I believe they will be here soon," Qin Feng said. He was expecting the C-tiers. These people would definitely be here when the situation became out of control.

Qin Feng rested for a day and as he had predicted, five C-tiers arrived alongside a new group at the mountain base the next day.

"Ah Psai, it's inappropriate for you to seal off the mountain this way. We are all free to compete for the natural resources there. I am here with direct orders from my B-tier superior so please don't make things difficult for us," One of the C-tiers argued.

Ah Psai was definitely enraged but he concealed it and replied politely with a smile, "These peaks are a part of the Holy Mountains since our ancestral times. Foreign people are forbidden to enter because it's too dangerous there. I am doing this out of concern for everyone's safety. If you insist, I will only allow C-tiers to pass to minimize casualty."

The amount of resources lost would be less if the number of people allowed to enter was restricted. If each C-tier brought along fifty men with them, then twenty C-tiers would mean a thousand men. The mine would be emptied quickly with so many people ravaging the area.

These people were aptitude users, after all.

The C-tiers scanned the area using consciousness and were slightly taken aback by the number of beast kings and emperors in there.

"You are right. After all, we shouldn't let our underlings take the risk. If so, then only the C-tiers will be going in." The C-tier agreed to the proposal and asked their D-tiers to camp somewhere nearby.

Ah Psai's eyes were filled with hatred when the five C-tiers went past his barricade.

To him, these resources were rightfully his and these people were here to steal them. He was thinking of a way to eliminate them.

Ah Psai's thinking might not be entirely wrong in the current world but the only problem was that he was too weak to do as he wished.

Qin Feng heard their exchange and he approached Ah Psai after the five C-tiers had entered the mountains.

"Hi, Ah Psai!" Qin Feng greeted the chief.

Ah Psai was slightly startled being called out when he still had his infuriated expression on.

He recognized Qin Feng almost immediately. "Mr. Qin! You are here to access the Holy Mountain as well?"

"Yea!" Qin Feng answered.

Ah Psai did not try to conceal his displeasure this time. "Mr. Qin, this is not a place that you come and go freely. Going in as a D-tier is no different from suicide. Please listen to my advice as a friend and don't go in there."

It sounded like a warning more than advice.

Qin Feng laughed it off. "I am determined to go no matter what. But then, it would be rude of me if I go in forcefully. So I am willing to compromise and pay you 10 billion as an entrance fee. What do you think, Chief?"

Qin Feng was doing this for a reason.

Indeed, there was a risk for D-tier to enter the Holy Mountains. But when there was such a large group of D-tiers, they could still conquer the mountains easily with C-tiers leading them.

Qin Feng knew that Ah Psai was being wanted by the Human Alliance after he assassinated the C-tier aptitude users. His exile then led to the opening of the mountains to D-tiers.

In other words, Ah Psai was an ideal barrier to fend off competitors. Ten billion was not an amount that many D-tiers could fork out. As a result, the number of people entering the mountains could be conveniently controlled using Ah Psai's greediness.

Qin Feng would not mind letting Ah Psai play the bad guy role this time.

Chapter 463: Entrance Fees

An idea soon lit up in Ah Psai's calculative mind.

If he were to charge entrance fees of 10 billion per person, then one hundred aptitude users would earn him 1 trillion!

This would surely be a lucrative business since the gaea crystal was such a rare and limited resource at the moment.

Ah Psai laughed satisfyingly and said, "Mr. Qin, I like your suggestion. Since we are friends, I am willing to accommodate and let you through."

Qin Feng nodded. To him, 10 billion was not a significant amount. He casually took out one cubic power credit and passed it to Ah Psai. Whether Ah Psai would have the chance to spend the money was not of his concern.

Qin Feng entered the Holy Mountains while Ah Psai did not stop his activity on the outside. He recruited a large band of construction workers to build a wall surrounding the mountains.

The walls were poorly constructed. Ah Psai only needed a symbolic structure to mark his territory. Arrow slits were introduced to the wall at short intervals and Ah Psai had also applied poison at spots he deemed vulnerable.

Even though the mountains were still elevating and the wall structures were being destroyed constantly by the uplifting land, Ah Psai kept the construction going on and on.

Nevertheless, his method did work. Ah Psai could not stop the C-tiers but the price of the entrance fees did discourage the majority of the D-tiers.

Some D-tiers needed the crystal desperately. They had reached the bottleneck for a long time and would require external help to improve. Otherwise, they might not attain C-tier for the rest of their lives. Such aptitude users had no choice but to pay the exorbitant fees.

Hence, Ah Psai's business grew exponentially.

More and more people had entered the Holy Mountains by now.

***

At a random location inside the mountains, Qin Feng was battling an insectoid beast king.

The dark runes had sapped out most of the monster's life force. Qin Feng swung his sword and cut the beast king into half.

'Thirty-first!' Qin Feng counted silently.

Beast king at this tier was no match for Qin Feng now. It would not even be counted as a fight but rather a one-sided slaughter.

Hellfire burned brightly and incinerated the insectoid corpse into ashes. The crystal core and gaea crystal were the only things that remained after the burning.

This was when a figure came flying in, stopped short mid-air, and landed right in front of Qin Feng.

The person was wearing a set of dark-red battle suits and carrying a broadsword on his back. Even his hair was dyed red and his eyes were bloodshot. His vibe spelled boastful and cunning.

Qin Feng immediately recognized the man. His name was Yuan Hongfei, a wanted aptitude user from the Dark Coalition. There was a bounty on his head in both the Bounty Hunter and Dark Hitman Network.

"Surrender your possession and I will let you live!" Yuan Hongfei said arrogantly. His eyes belonged to those of a killer.

Actually, Yuan Hongfei was going to kill Qin Feng anyway even if he did as he was told. He loved giving his victim false hope and especially enjoyed the despairing look on them when he ended their lives.

Yuan Hongfei had begun to imagine the way his opponent would yield and back off cautiously.

His pleased expression quickly evaporated when he found out that Qin Feng had ignored his threat entirely and packed the two crystals into his spatial equipment.

"Can't you hear me? I say put down the two crystals and I may let you live!"

Qin Feng said nothing and pointed his Verdant Emperor Saber at Yuan Hongfei.

Yuan Hongfei was stunned. He did not sit well being threatened.

"Son of a b*tch! Know your place, you lowly D-tier!"

Qin Feng sneered. "On the count of three."

Yuan Hongfei was infuriated. "You are nothing more than a bragger. Let me teach you a lesson!" He promptly unsheathed the broadsword on his back and swung it down toward Qin Feng.

The broadsword was extremely heavy. Yuan Hongfei used a great deal of internal strength to maneuver it. A force that was capable of cleaving a boulder came crashing down on Qin Feng.

"Evade or die!" Yuan Hongfei was determined to kill the narcissistic brat.

Qin Feng did not evade but only bent his wrist slightly upward.

The move seemed effortless and did not appear to be able to resist the incoming heavy attack.

The two internal forces collided. Yuan Hongfei's internal force immediately melted away like snow exposed to sun rays. The sharp flame on the Verdant Emperor Saber hit the broadsword and easily sliced through it.

Yuan Hongfei rounded his eyes in surprise. The broadsword was made of C-tier beast king materials. It was a silver light rune equipment and it was impossible to break it that easily.

Unless the opponent was using a C-tier beast emperor weapon.

However, Yuan Hongfei did not notice any gold radiance on the saber.

There was only one explanation left.

'God's weapon!'

Only such a weapon had no tier restriction.

Yuan Hongfei's greediness was laid bare on his expression. "So what if you possess a God's weapon. It will be mine after I defeat you with my internal force!"

"Die!" Yuan Hongfei directed his internal force onto his palm. He evaded Qin Feng's saber and landed multiple attacks on Qin Feng.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yuan Hongfei veered around Qin Feng agilely and tried to stifle his opponent with brute internal force.

However, after more than ten hits on Qin Feng's Qi armor, it was Yuan Hongfei that began to lose strength.

Qin Feng smirked and said, "Save your energy and just die. That way, there will be more internal force left for me to absorb."

Yuan Hongfei finally realized Qin Feng was not an ordinary D-tier.

Being a member of the Dark Coalition, Yuan Hongfei had a rich experience in life-and-dead combat. His instinct told him that it was time to run if he wanted to live.

It caught Qin Feng by surprise that Yuan Hongfei had chosen to flee so decisively. But he could never outrun Qin Feng.

"Fiery Rampage!"

Boom!

Qin Feng covered a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Hongfei dashed with all his might but he could feel that a dark aura was breathing down his neck.

A dark ability hit Yuan Hongfei, which instantly took away all his senses. His mind was clouded and rooted him on the spot.

Qin Feng grabbed the short window of opportunity to catch up. He slid the saber right through his prey's neck and beheaded Yuan Hongfei. He then stuck out his arm and the head landed precisely on his palm.

'Another bounty earned.'

Qin Feng grinned and turned back to get onto Yuan Hongfei's body.

Chapter 464: Inevitable Clash Between Opposing Factions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

The headless corpse had been drawn over by Qin Feng, and the internal strength embedded within had fueled him with a large amount of strength.

Followed by a dash of flame that merged with the corpse, the runes were successfully captured by Qin Feng.

All of it was done in mid-air, and upon completion, Qin Feng landed on the ground.

The ground was flooded by surging insectoid waves, and Qin Feng was instantly surrounded as soon as he had landed.

"Hmph!"

The D-tier insectoids had no chance against Qin Feng, his Hellfire Carpet swept across the ground and instantly turned them into ashes.

However, the ongoing waves of insectoids seemed to be unending.

"Wait a minute, these insectoids seem to be escaping!"

Qin Feng was alerted and went in the opposite direction.

While being surrounded by Dark Shadow, Qin Feng travelled across uneven and bumpy hills for about five hundred meters while remaining undetected, and the scene ahead caught his attention.

Surprisingly, it was a horrifying C-tier insectoid beast king.

"Didn't expect to see a Steel-Armored Snail King!"

Without any doubt, it was transformed from a steel-back snail that had no other capabilities than its outstanding defending capability, with just one gaea crystal, it could hold its defending ground with its enhanced capabilities.

The enlarged Steel-Armored Snail King had grown up to the height of a three-floor building, it was like a villa enforced with an indestructible shell. Furthermore, its powerful water ability had equipped it with mental toxin.

It was the reason behind the escape of all other insectoids.

However, Qin Feng held onto his footsteps and intensified his dark presence by another layer to further conceal his presence and remain undetected by the others.

Surprisingly, someone was already fighting against the Steel-Armored Snail King.

However, it was obviously an unfavorable fight.

There were already two corpses that were lying on the ground, while another four people were still battling against the snail king.

However, it was clear that they were from different groups.

One of them was about to escape from being attacked by the snail king, however, the other three blocked the escape.

It was surprising to Qin Feng that he was able to recognize all three of them.

One of them was Lei Ying.

Whereas the other two had participated in the ambush against him, it was Han Chengming, a C-tier aptitude user, and Liu Bei from the Dark Coalition.

It was unexpected to see them together.

Lei Ying seemed to have his arm recovered, obviously, he must have utilized rare treasures, or perhaps it was an external limb that was connected by using genetic technology; for the aptitude users, such technologies would only cost a small portion from their fortune, however, it would take a toll toward their capabilities.

Being an ability user himself, with his conscious energy, Lei Ying could easily grow another pair of limbs at any time!

However, it was unexpected to see Lei Ying there, indeed an inevitable clash between opposing factions.

At that moment, cursing was heard from the one who was being ambushed by all three other people combined with the insectoid beast king, he could barely hold on anymore.

"Lei Ying, you will pay for this!"

Obviously, Lei Ying did not bother about the cursing and chuckled, "I am afraid that those who have cursed me in such a way could probably form an army, however, why am I still alive and well now? Cheng Dacheng, can't you just stay put and wait for your recovery, why are you still out here?"

It was Cheng Dacheng who was being ambushed, the chairman of the Dacheng Group.

Cheng Dacheng was heavily wounded by Lei Ying's powerful thunder ability, even his nervous system was damaged, and it was impossible to heal the injuries with ordinary items.

As his capability was greatly reduced, the appearance of the gaea crystal had struck him with the idea that it would be a good opportunity to rush over and get it for his own recovery.

From Lei Ying's view, it would only be a relief for him once had killed Cheng Dacheng, an enemy that he had startled previously, and obviously, it was more than once!

"Han Chengming, I have already spread the news about your filthy cooperation with Lei Ying and the Dark Coalition to put me in harm, you would want to have a good explanation on this!" Cheng Dacheng threatened his opponent.

Han Chengming seemed hesitant; however, it did not last long.

After all, he had already been involved with Lei Ying for too long to be exempted from the situation.

Furthermore, birds of a feather flock together, they would only cooperate because they were of the same kind!

Han Chengming was also a cheat and a hypocrite.

"Cheng Dacheng, you will be killed by the ultra beast, and it will have nothing to do with me; what do you mean by Liu Bei, I do not know him; although he is not fighting us, how will that prove that we are joining forces? Your claims are baseless, and even if you are to bring it up, nobody would care!" Han Chengming gave his bold and confident answer.

Cheng Dacheng was left with despair as he knew clearly about the future outcomes.

Furthermore, nobody knew about Lei Ying's recent cooperation with a powerful B-tier, Guang Wei; hence, he was becoming more and more arrogant and nobody could stop him.

Perhaps, my death would finally arrive today?

Cheng Dacheng was hopeless and dissatisfied, he had yet to take his revenge on Lei Ying, how could he still allow Lei Ying to take his life?

It was at that moment; everyone was alerted by a sudden noise.

"Oh? No idea who it is, but I bet you don't mind if I kill this person?!"

All four of them turned around simultaneously and were shocked by the person who was standing about twenty meters away.

It was a very close distance, and surprisingly, the presence of the person was unnoticed by all four of them.

"Qin Feng!"

Lei Ying cried out immediately with his eyes wide.

Qin Feng let out an evil grin, and it was spooky.

The next moment, he had disappeared again.

Han Chengming immediately shouted, "Be careful!"

It was unknown who should be aware of the threat, however, he had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen to someone!

Despite knowing that Qin Feng was merely a D-tier, it was still impossible for him to get rid of his fear toward Qin Feng.

It was at that moment, a shadow appeared right behind Liu Bei.

"You have overestimated yourself!" Liu Bei was enraged and excited by the threat.

Being a member from the Dark Coalition himself, Liu Bei was a brutal person that would willfully slaughter the innocent, and Qin Feng was also his targeted victim. However, the appearance of the Grans had forced them to scatter and escape, hence, he did not have the chance to take action toward Qin Feng who had been staying within Longchuan, an area that was protected by the powerful B-tier.

It was surprising for him to encounter his opponent here.

Liu Bei was on the edge of his seat to find his prey that had escaped before.

Without even turning his head, Liu Bei immediately initiated a deadly attack and stabbed his weapon toward the back.

If his opponent did not dodge, it would definitely pierce through the internal strength shield of his opponent and result in a kill.

Surprisingly, Qin Feng did not dodge.

"A kill secured!" Liu Bei felt assured, the next moment, he was shocked by the resistance that he had felt on his arm, and it was like a mud pool that was drawing him in.

The internal strength shield of his opponent was overwhelming.

Liu Bei had the same encounter when he killed a B-tier ancient warrior in the past.

"How is this possible?" Liu Bei was struck by the question, the next moment, he was alerted by an echo from his internal strength shield.

Pow!

Liu Bei's internal strength shield had shattered!

"No!"

Liu Bei immediately generated force from his legs and jumped out.

"Trying to escape?" Qin Feng sneered as the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand instantly glimmered with a fuchsia glow.

Chapter 465: A Free Head For You

The glimmering light had instantly caught up with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei turned around while raising his hand and embedded it with his internal strength shield.

Boom!

A deafening booming sound was heard, the next moment, Liu Bei had already been tossed away.

Both of his hands were charred into coal black color, he was devastated and no longer resembled the characteristics of a gifted and mighty figure of a member from the Dark Coalition!

Qin Feng pursued further, while Liu Bei let out an enraged roar as he tried to dodge Qin Feng's attack.

"Come and save me!" Liu Bei shouted.

Obviously, both Lei Ying and Han Chengming were being alerted by the scene, surprisingly, none of them had reacted to it.

Qin Feng had also slowed down his movements, like he was taking a stroll in the park, and it was an intentional action to torture Liu Bei and prolong the process of killing him!

Certainly, Liu Bei also realized that with Qin Feng's powerful capabilities, it would be a piece of cake for him to take his life.

However, Qin Feng did not choose to do so, and he was humiliating him!

It was like how they had teased Cheng Dacheng.

The switch of position was too quick and Liu Bei was definitely unable to accept that the tables have turned!

"Are you guys pretending to be dead?" Liu Bei was infuriated.

Han Chengming was about to make his move, and Qin Feng mocked with a sarcastic sneer, "Yo, and now you know each other?"

Lei Ying reacted instantly and let out an enraged roar, "Qin Feng, you are now a fugitive, you are not supposed to behave so arrogantly, do you think you can get away with the pursuit?"

At that moment, both of them were about to strike together.

Qin Feng's reaction was faster.

"Dragon Slam!" A slam that was embedded with the internal strength of a B-tier ancient warrior instantly hit Liu Bei.

"Pfft!!!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Liu Bei's mouth, his arrogance and complacency with his own talent had diminished, he knew that he was a dead duck.

"Chairman Cheng, how about a free head for you?" As Qin Feng made his offer, he immediately raised his leg and kicked Liu Bei toward Cheng Dacheng, Liu Bei was being treated like a soccer ball.

With the sudden interference from Qin Feng, Cheng Dacheng felt relief as he was no longer restricted by the others, and Qin Feng's action of kicking Liu Bei over was like sending his enemy to his doorsteps.

Without any hesitation, Cheng Dacheng immediately pierced forward with his spear on hand.

Poof!

A deadly hit had penetrated into Liu Bei's heart.

The arrogant and disdainfully proud talent from the Dark Coalition had died in such an unexpected way.

Before Lei Ying and Han Chengming could strike, Liu Bei was already dead!

It had instantly become an awkward situation.

It was supposed to be a confirmed winning situation with two opponents from both sides, and one of them was a D-tier.

Surprisingly, the C-tier aptitude users were no match against the D-tier freak and the tides had turned.

Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, "Chairman Cheng, mind to take another free head from me?"

Cheng Dacheng was consumed by his urge to kill.

"Lei Ying's filthy head? Sure, why not?!"

Qin Feng instantly disappeared into the shadows and attacked toward Lei Ying.

Boom!

Lei Ying was immediately smashed by a punch on his cheek, his face was twisted and all of his teeth were broken while he was tossed away in spinning movements.

Pow pow pow!

Qin Feng continued his smashing and Lei Ying had no chance to defend himself.

Knowing that he had no chance of withstanding Qin Feng's attack, Lei Ying was scared out of his wits.

Meanwhile, Han Chengming who noticed the unfavorable situation had immediately decided to escape!

However, Qin Feng did not have any significant hatred that would drive his pursuit to hunt down Han Chengming, hence, he was able to escape successfully.

Unfortunately, Lei Ying did not have the same luck!

Lei Ying was instantly smashed and wounded to an unrecognizable state!

Qin Feng sneered, "Lei Ying, Chairman Lei, how does it feel? When you were still at the Conscious Realm of the Human Alliance, have you ever thought of having to face such a situation today?"

Lei Ying broke out in a cold sweat.

Ever since his departure from the conscious realm, Lei Ying had never thought that Qin Feng would slaughter his way out and escape from Guang Wei's pursuit, not to mention the defeat that he had to face now.

Hence, Lei Ying could never be assured of his safety and stretch his influence into the Four Cities of the North Sea, not until Qin Feng was dead.

Lei Ying had such a feeling that if he were to become the governor of the Four Cities of the North Sea, Qin Feng would definitely hunt him down.

"Chairman Cheng, this is for you!" Qin Feng was about to extend his hand to grab Lei Ying.

It was at that moment, a sudden quake erupted from the ground!

Another unexpected earthquake had erupted at such a crucial moment.

All of a sudden, the ground underneath Qin Feng and Lei Ying cracked and flared-up a giant gap between them.

The grounds were broken by the earthquake, however, the scene from the exposed underground had drawn everyone's attention, surprisingly, it was a land filled with gaea crystals!

Lei Ying had only managed to take a glance of it, the next moment, thunder began to shroud around him.

Earlier, Qin Feng's action was too fast and Lei Ying was unable to react and concentrate his conscious energy to initiate runes, hence, he had to suffer the punches from Qin Feng.

If it were not because of the precious items that he had consumed, Li Ying would have already been punched to death by Qin Feng's attacks!

Hence, Lei Ying would never have forgo such a great opportunity to escape.

"Thunderstrike!"

Within the blink of an eye, Lei Ying was surrounded with a purple glimmer that was in a Z shape, he sprinted for over a hundred meters away without any hesitation while being shrouded by a layer of silver glow.

Surprisingly, he had escaped by using spatial runes!

Lei Ying was only able to exhale in relief as soon as his vision had recovered.

"I am free, I am still alive!"

"Qin Feng, you will pay for this!"

"Were those gaea crystals? There seems to be a lot of them underneath the rifts!"

Lei Ying could not constrain his dissatisfaction and jealousy, if it were not because of Qin Feng's appearance, the gaea crystals would have been his!

Actually, Lei Ying was right, before Qin Feng's rebirth, Lei Ying had leveraged the huge amount of wealth to pump up his capabilities.

Even Liu Bei, Wang Jian, Liu Yi, and Han Chengming were supposed to benefit from the wealth, however, Qin Feng's appearance had totally changed their fate.

Wang Jian had died, Liu Yi had separated from Lei Ying, Han Chengming had escaped, while Liu Bei had been killed by Cheng Dacheng.

All of them had brushed past the opportunities that they were supposed to have!

Meanwhile, Qin Feng was delighted by the great amount of gaea crystals underground.

Cheng Dacheng had also witnessed the exciting moment.

"Ay, Brother Qin, your help is much appreciated!" Cheng Dacheng shouted to remind Qin Feng that he had only killed Liu Bei, and the Steel-Armored Snail King was still alive!

However, Qin Feng did not bother about it and immediately jumped into the rifts.

He stabbed his Verdant Emperor Saber into the soil and dug out the gaea crystals.

Qin Feng was swift in his actions, within the blink of an eye, all gaea crystals around the edges were excavated from the soil.

However, the insectoids were also coping up with his high speed of action.

They were alerted by the natural born sensing ability bonded with the gaea crystals and immediately flocked toward the scene.

The opening of the rift was rather small, it was only about two meters in width and thirty meters in depth, hence, within a short moment, the space was completely blocked by the insectoids!

"Die!"

Qin Feng activated his conscious energy, and the entire rift opening was immediately shrouded by Hellfire Carpet.

Every insectoid that came were all dead.

Qin Feng filled his hands with internal strength again. "Dragon Slam!"

Walls within the rift were being wildly scrambled by the golden dragon claw, and all of the hidden gaea crystals were exposed.

Qin Feng had gone wild in collecting the gaea crystals.

It was at that moment, the surroundings glimmered under the reflections of water that was sprinkled into the rift, and the Hellfire Carpet was being put out by the sprinkles.

Qin Feng immediately hid into the giant hole that was excavated by the dragon claw and cranked up his internal strength shield to its maximum level.

Chapter 466: Instantly Overturned

Qin Feng extended his conscious energy to the surroundings.

It turned out that Cheng Dacheng had escaped from the Steel-Armored Snail King, and the snail did not pursue further, instead, it had gone into the rift.

Poisonous water waves had instantly filled the rift.

It was immediately neutralized by Qin Feng's internal strength shield.

However, he was stuck in a deadlock situation that might eventually lead to his death.

Qin Feng swayed his Verdant Emperor Saber in spiral movements and began to excavate the soil.

The soil was pressured by Qin Feng's internal strength, and he was able to find a breakthrough spot from a tunnel.

The Steel-Armored Snail King was still releasing abilities into the rift, at the same time, it had also sensed Qin Feng's presence.

It turned its giant body around and directed water runes toward Qin Feng.

Swoosh!

Waves gushed in the direction of Qin Feng.

"Fiery Rampage!"

Qin Feng immediately blinked to a different location to dodge the wave, he continued to activate his conscious energy and initiate fire runes, then, he pointed his finger.

"Magma Pillar!"

Boom!

A giant magma pillar instantly appeared underneath the snail king and pushed it upward.

The solid outer shell of the snail king was incredibly hard and impenetrable; however, its soft body would appear during its movements; similar to other ultra beasts, having unbending outer skin would also reduce their defense capabilities.

It was impossible to stay on par with Qin Feng's capabilities.

The attack had instantly wounded the snail king that had its heavy outer shell stuck in between the rift.

However, ultra beasts would usually have their own ways to escape, it immediately activated the water flow to float itself up.

The move was already expected by Qin Feng, and he already had his Verdant Emperor Saber overflowing with a horrifying amount of internal strength.

"Burning Sword Glare!"

Unidentified amounts of realistic magma rays moved and slashed around constantly to seek for kills.

The C-tier beast king was unable to cope with the heavy attacks from Qin Feng, its body was slashed into pieces!

Furthermore, the C-tier beast king was already wounded from the ambush by Cheng Dacheng and the others, hence, it was unable to perform with full capability.

In less than twenty attacks, Qin Feng had already killed the Steel-Armored Snail King.

"Hellfire!"

Flames erupted and burned off the corpse of the snail king, and two giant crystals immediately fell off from the burnt ashes.

One of it was a basketball-sized C-tier water energy core, while the other was a gaea crystal that was twice the size of a basketball; the snail king had been devouring for the past three days and it would only take another short period of time for it to transform into a beast emperor.

In other words, if the retrieval of gaea crystals and annihilation of the insectoids were not performed quick enough, the Psipur Holy Mountain might become more horrifying.

It might even become a restricted area in the future.

There was only a window of a month to obtain gaea crystals from the area, once the timeframe had lapsed, it would only be possible to obtain the crystals by fate gambling and life risking!

Qin Feng casually gathered the items into his spatial rune equipment and continued to jump into the deep pit again.

The water flow within the pit had disappeared along with the death of the Steel-Armored Snail King, and Qin Feng resumed with the excavation.

Scents that were released from the death of the snail king was like a warning sign for the insectoids to refrain from closing in on the area, and it had enabled an easier excavating job.

Although the insectoids were afraid to come, the humans were not.

A shadow appeared in the rift, it was Cheng Dacheng, the chairman of the Dacheng Group that had returned.

"Mister Qin, I have to thank you for your helping hand earlier!" Cheng Dacheng was grateful and thanked Qin Feng.

Both of them worked together for their common enemies.

It was fortunate for Cheng Dacheng to have Qin Feng's presence that had facilitated his escape.

Qin Feng paused his task on hand and immediately took out his weapon as soon as he saw Cheng Dacheng's presence.

"Chairman Cheng, I'm afraid I can't accept your appreciation, if it weren't because of you, there could even be the appearance of beast king-tier insectoids!" Qin Feng mocked and answered.

It was a total hoax for Cheng Dacheng to position himself as the innocent one.

Being a C-tier himself, Qin Feng was not disappointed by it at all, after all, who would not turn into a cunning fox once they have achieved such heights? Not even the capable ones could avoid such traits.

"Keke, I believe you have misunderstood me, Mister Qin, I was also in a desperate situation that has forced me to escape from the snail king!"

Qin Feng casually swayed his Verdant Emperor Saber. "The others might believe in you on this, for me, it was just an old chestnut!"

"Mister Qin, what do you mean by this?" Cheng Dacheng was puzzled by Qin Feng's vexatious behavior.

How could he just overturn it into a hostile situation in just a short moment?

Did things not go well earlier? He had even gifted Liu Bei's head that was being set with a huge amount of bounty on the wanted-list.

"Nothing much, just that we do not know each other, and I am now a fugitive being wanted by the Human Alliance, and prefer not to have any other people around me; hence, please make your move, Chairman Cheng!"

Cheng Dacheng was irritated.

"Mister Qin, we were still cooperating earlier, how could you say that we do not know each other? You are simply being unethical, are you planning to take all of these treasures by yourself?!" Cheng Dacheng spoke with dissatisfaction.

Qin Feng raised his eyebrow. "Cooperation? Have you misunderstood the situation Chairman Cheng? I was the one who have saved your life, and I have yet to mention about your hostile reaction to my kind favor! How could you still think that you should get your share on these treasures, shouldn't I deserve all these? In contrast, Chairman Cheng, you are being too greedy to ask for your share on these gaea crystals, you're just being thick-skinned and unashamed!"

After all, the gaea crystals were highly sought after by everyone.

Obviously, Cheng Dacheng was still hoping that he could get something out of it!

Meanwhile, an instant urge to kill was exploding from Qin Feng's body.

"Chairman Cheng, do you wish to go for the easy way, or the hard way? Bear in mind, I was being forced into the Dark Coalition, and I am not required to take any responsibility for your death!"

Cheng Dacheng was immediately shocked and took a few steps back.

Qin Feng's past attacks had left Liu Bei and Lei Ying with no choice but to suffer the beatings, it was impossible for Cheng Dacheng to ignore such an intimidating threat.

He was definitely an evildoer.

"After my return, I must find out about this little kid that has come out from nowhere!" Guang Wei had prevented the spread of Qin Feng's powerful battle results, hence, his heroic deeds were being covered up.

Therefore, it was impossible for Cheng Dacheng to find out about Qin Feng's origin.

"Alright alright alright, I will leave now!" Cheng Dacheng immediately agreed.

Qin Feng was satisfied by the answer and added on, "Of course, if there is no other harvest for you, I can spare you some at a good discounted price!"

"Keke, well, I'll thank you for that in advance, Mister Qin!"

If Qin Feng were still with the Human Alliance, Cheng Dacheng would have pointed out his injuries as an unashamed excuse to ask for his share of the treasures.

However, it was unexpected that he was with the Dark Coalition, and what does it mean that he was being forced into the Dark Coalition?

Curiosity began to take over Cheng Dacheng's mind.

"If I were to find out who's behind this, I swear that I will not spare their lives! They have spoiled my source of wealth and affected my survival!" Cheng Dacheng expressed his dissatisfaction while he was being careful to not put the blame onto Qin Feng and only directed his blamings onto those that had forced Qin Feng into this!

After Cheng Dacheng left, Qin Feng continued with the retrieval of the gaea crystals.

Rescuing Cheng Dacheng was only a coincidental outcome that came along when taking care of Liu Bei and halting Lei Ying's plan, how could that amount to him demanding for a share on the loots?

How could that be possible?

Chapter 467: Meeting Xu Qing Again

After gathering all the gaea crystals, Qin Feng continued to hunt insectoid beasts on the Psipur Holy Mountain. Qin Feng had been roaming on the mountain for days, raising his kill count of the insectoid beasts to an astonishing number.

In just a dozen days, his kill count was much higher than any ordinary C-tier aptitude user's kill count in a year.

And due to this, the insectoids' growing rate had been slowing down—they were all hunted down before they got the chance to evolve.

This in turn caused the insectoids to get less and less threatening, leading to an increase of aptitude users.

Now, there were B-tier aptitude users, resulting in the supply of insectoids to not be able to keep up with the aptitude users' demand!

Naturally, the gaea crystals were also getting less and less in number. Most of the crystals left were all deep inside the gaea. And these crystals were mostly acquired by the insectoids.

"It appears that it's time for me to go." Qin Feng scanned around and noticed there were at least several dozens of C-tier aptitude users observing him.

And in front of Qin Feng, there was a D-tier emperor beast that he was engaging with at the moment.

These C-tiers wanted to gang up on him after he had killed the emperor beast—to ninja away some easy loot.

However, they had second thoughts and started to hesitate after witnessing how powerful Qin Feng's attacks were.

"Die!"

Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber glinted sharply as he cut down the D-tier emperor beast.

As the huge insectoid monster lay on the ground lifelessly, Qin Feng immediately activated his Absorption Ability and started to devour all its energy into his body.

Vroom!

In an instant, Qin Feng's body had been strengthened yet again!

He was now D9-tier!

He only needed to ascend one more tier to C-tier!

Qin Feng had absorbed an obscene amount of energy in the numerous days he roamed on the mountain. The amount of energy that was rumbling in his body was insanely high!

As Qin Feng's power increased, his powerful presence leaked out in an instant, stunting the C-tiers that were hiding the shadows!

"This kid… no wonder he could defeat an emperor beast despite still being D tier. His body is an emperor type I see."

"Just where did this monster come from? He is so insanely strong! Considering his age… could he be a Hero Class?"

"Gosh, he's already D9? He's really close to C-tier now. Although it's just one more tier, this kid isn't some ordinary chum. It's best for me to stay away!"

Thus, most of the C-tiers retreated. Nonetheless, there were still a few of them tailing Qin Feng.

After collecting his loot, Qin Feng started to head downward, seemingly leaving the Holy Mountain.

Qin Feng had gotten most of the good stuff from Psipur Holy Mountain already. As such, there was no need for him to keep on being there and fight for the small, meager amount of loots left.

Yet, the C-tiers seemed to have misunderstood the situation after seeing Qin Feng leaving.

"This kid has just ascended his tier. And now he's leaving in a hurry. Could he be running away because his power isn't stable yet?"

"Could it be that he's afraid? He has probably used up all his energy after fighting that emperor beast… so he's now tired?"

"I've followed him for so many days. There's no way I'm going to let him go!"

Thus, they continued tailing Qin Feng.

Qin Feng frowned and opened his mouth.

"I'll have you know. There are consequences if you continue following me!"

Qin Feng's voice was sent far and wide through his internal force. His words were like roars of thunder rolling in the sky.

The ones who followed him, however, did not seem intimidated. Realizing that they had been exposed, some of them decided to jump out and attack him.

"So be it!"

Qin Feng did not hesitate in releasing his conscious energy. Magma Pillars instantly enveloped the idiots who wanted to jump him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In just the blink of an eye, the four men who tried to attack him were now burned to ashes. They were ancient warriors and aptitude users. And yet, none of them could lay a finger on Qin Feng.

The only one left who was not quick enough to launch his attack gulped down his saliva as he saw this.

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead and back.

After giving him a cold look, Qin Feng turned and started to walk away.

Ten minutes later, the heavy-built C-tier stood up slowly from his hiding place. Being a C-tier, his body was quite heavily trained and powerful. So, there was no way he was feeling cramps from squatting in the bushes for a long time. Instead, he was intimidated by Qin Feng's cold look.

"Just… just where did this monstrosity come from?" The C-tier blurted out as he felt grateful for escaping a horrible death.

A few moments later, Qin Feng had reached the entrance of Psipur Holy Mountain.

Ah Psai was not really that great of a man. Yet, he was quite good at setting up camps. After building up the walls, he was able to earn quite a huge sum of money. Most of these D-tiers did not have many opportunities in life; but if they got lucky, they could be swimming in success.

It was then, Qin Feng could hear some noises coming from the entrance. Qin Feng had keen hearing and sharp eye-sight, thus it did not take long for him to notice that there was a row of powerful people at the entrance.

"B tier!" In a glance, Qin Feng was able to tell who they were. And not only that, when Qin Feng saw one of them, he recognized that he was an old acquaintance.

"General Xu Qing!"

It was General Xu Qing from Longchuan.

Psipur Holy Mountain was such a blessed place. Qin Feng did not expect to see friendly faces in the area!

Meanwhile, Xu Qing too saw Qin Feng from afar. After a short moment of surprise, he walked slowly toward Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng!" Xu Qing approached him. "Qin Feng, I've been trying to contact you via the communicator a few days ago but I could not get through. It's so good seeing you here."

"Contact me?"

Qin Feng gave Xu Qing a surprised look.

Xu Qing nodded. "After I left, Longchuan was in trouble again. There was no one calling the shots in the city; so, I was hoping to ask you about it!"

It would seem that Xu Qing did not know what happened to Qin Feng.

However, it made sense too. To Xu Qing, Qin Feng was more of a concerned citizen that he could get news from. Thus, Xu Qing did not give it much thought when he could not contact Qin Feng.

Suddenly, Xu Qing's communicator started to beep. After checking his communicator, Xu Qing had a huge shock.

"What the hell happened?! Why are you being hunted by the bounty hunters? And you're now a criminal in the Human Alliance?" Xu Qing asked.

Qin Feng calmly replied, "This is General Guang Wei's doing."

A stern look crept up on Xu Qing's face.

"Just what on Earth happened?!"

Thus, Qin Feng told him everything that Guang Wei had done. Guang Wei's dirty businesses would be revealed to the world one day anyway. As such, there was no need for Qin Feng to help him maintain his good name. If Guang Wei had the guts to do all these bad deeds, he must also have the courage to face the consequences.

Xu Qing's face turned grimmer and grimmer as he heard the news.

"So, in short, he used some trickeries to force you out. And shortly after that, Longchuan fell?"

Xu Qing knew what Qin Feng could do.

If he were not given intel about this, Xu Qing might not have given it much thought. Now that he had learned about what happened, Xu Qing slowly realized that it was Guang Wei and Lei Ying that caused all these ruckuses.

Qin Feng said, "I have very limited knowledge about Longchuan's attack. So, I hope you're not pinning this on me."

"Why didn't you seek me out for help?"

Qin Feng smiled. "General, being forced out is my personal problem. I can handle it on my own."

Xu Qing's face turned grim and asked, "Qin Feng, be honest with me. Do you still intend to come back to the Human Alliance?"

Chapter 468: Reaching C-tier

Qin Feng was not Xu Qing's underling. If he went to Xu Qing, things might be solved quite quickly. However, this would not feel as good as him handling things on his own.

Qin Feng was not going to rely on anyone for every small, meager crap thrown his way.

And not only that, Qin Feng could use this newly acquired "wanted" status and venture to the Dark Coalition. And he actually gained a lot from going to that dreadful coalition's territory.

After hearing Qin Feng's answer, Xu Qing saw the calm demeanor on Qin Feng's face. Xu Qing could not help but to feel that Qin Feng had a disdain for the Human Alliance so much so that he thought seeking his help was not worth it.

Nonetheless, Xu Qing continued on, "We must take out all these bad apples in the alliance. If we let them roam around freely, there would be more and more good men like you being forced out."

Qin Feng shrugged. "It does not matter to me if you bring them to justice. But in the future, there will be people begging me to come back."

The others in the scene did not know much about the situation; and they did not know who Qin Feng was. So, after hearing his words, they started to get pissy.

"You're just a D-tier aptitude user. And you're saying that the alliance would beg you to come back? What a joke! Just who do you think you are?"

"Oh, you think you're such a big shot? If you're so good, you won't be forced out!"

"Yeah! How dare you talk to General Xu Qing like this?! The general was giving you face just by talking to you. You better watch your tongue!"

These people seemed to be really triggered by Qin Feng's attitude.

Qin Feng took a cold look at these people and said, "You have my word, General. Let's wait and see. As for you all, talk to me when it happens!"

After saying this, Qin Feng left.

"Sigh. Qin Feng…" Xu Qing wanted to persuade Qin Feng further but it was too late – Qin Feng's qinggong was so good that he vanished without a trace in mere seconds.

The others were shocked when they saw this. Yet, after recalling what he said, they pulled up their long faces again.

"What a jerk!"

"Heh, it's just a bluff. Anyone can bluff. He will be running on his tail in no time!"

"Yeah, he's still young. He will see that the world is harsher than he thinks!"

Xu Qing too did not expect to see this happen. And not only that, he had a hunch that something big was about to happen. Yet, this was just a hunch. He could not really point out the logic as to why he thought this was a short moment of peace before a storm kicked in.

As for his underlings, Xu Qing knew they were just trying to defend him; so, he did not want to punish them.

After all, Qin Feng was just a one-time ally. Sure, the man was really tough. Yet, if Qin Feng was unwilling to return to the alliance, there was no need for Xu Qing to keep trying to persuade him to come back.

"Okay, men! Let's go!" Xu Qing ordered and marched forward.

His underlings too stopped with their chatter and quietly followed Xu Qing into the Psipur Holy Mountain.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng had gotten back to his aircraft.

"Guo Guan, fire up the engine. We're leaving!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Guo Guan sheepishly acknowledged him.

In the past few days, Guo Guan did not go to Psipur Holy Mountain. Still, he could feel a huge amount of stress on the airship—there were a lot of people on the ship, so it was not uncommon for a D-tier like him to be there.

However, Guo Guan was quite surprised to see people from the City of Death here.

After all, they were the ones who had murdered the owner of the City of Death!

Other than that, many of them were quite interested in the aircraft and wanted to steal it for themselves. Thankfully, Bai Li was there to guard it; or else, the aircraft would have long been stolen.

This place was a really nerve-wrecking place indeed!

"Boss, where are we going this time?" Guo Guan asked.

Qin Feng ordered, "Set course to Longchuan Mountains!"

Guo Guan was surprised after hearing this. "Boss, if you're heading to the Longchuan Mountains to hunt ultra beasts way before this, I would not object at all. But a month ago, a highly intelligent group moved into the mountains. It's dangerous to head there now!"

Qin Feng smiled. "Yeah, I know. This aircraft's weaponry was robbed from those people!"

Guo Guan was surprised again—this was the first time he heard about the origin of this aircraft's weaponry.

"Alright, Boss. Let's go. Wherever you go, I'll follow!"

Guo Guan realized that perhaps his boss had some plan in mind. Besides, no one would actively decide to commit suicide.

Thus, Guo Guan turned the aircraft around and headed straight to the Longchuan Mountains while Qin Feng headed back to his luxurious room on the aircraft.

It was time for him to train in silence again.

Qin Feng's body had been strengthened all the way to D9-tier now. It would take just a little more for him to reach C-tier!

Qin Feng had reached D9-tier just by killing a lot of insectoid beast kings and emperors in the past few days. And he had not used their cores yet!

Qin Feng waved his hands and the cores started to move toward him.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The cores came in all sizes. And there were a lot of them. If the crew saw this, perhaps they would go mad from their greed.

To Qin Feng, however, these cores had only one use—for absorption.

"Absorb!"

As the cores disappeared one by one, Qin Feng's body was strengthened gradually.

A moment later…

Boom!

A powerful surge of energy gushed out of Qin Feng's body!

C-tier!

Everyone on the aircraft instantly felt a terrifying presence on board and started to tremble in fear. Yet, to their surprise, the alarm was not sounded.

"Wait, isn't this our boss's aura?"

As the presence started to fade away, Jin Fei instantly realized that it was Qin Feng.

"What? Our boss is now a C-tier? I thought he was still at D8?"

"Oh, this is nothing. When he first came to the City of Death, he was still D5!"

"He leaped from D5 to C-tier in just two months? Unbelievable!"

To most people, even if they were given a lot of resources and a really sacred, serene place to train, their progress would still be very slow compared to Qin Feng's.

Thus, to them, it was quite difficult for any ordinary person to ascend five sub-tiers in just two months. In fact, it was quite difficult for them to even reach one sub-tier in a year!

This was the difference.

The difference between an ordinary man and a genius.

***

At the luxurious room, Qin Feng let out a long breath.

His body had been strengthened to C-tier, giving him immense power.

Right now, even if Qin Feng was still not able to defeat a B-tier, he could now defend himself from them!

Then, Qin Feng took out his gaea crystals.

"Absorb!"

The power from the crystals instantly leaked out and gushed straight into Qin Feng's dantian.

Now, the walls of his dantian had become really sturdy. Not only that, it had also been expanded greatly, making it possible for it to store a lot of internal energy.

"Nice!"

Qin Feng's eyes glimmered with joy.

These gaea crystals were one of the great treasures that he did not get to acquire before he was reborn.

And now, just by using a small amount of these, Qin Feng has acquired a huge amount of internal energy. If he were to use more, his power would be quite terrifying!

"Absorb! Absorb! Absorb!"

The gaea crystals were constantly being absorbed into Qin Feng's dantian, fueling it further.

A huge gaea crystal, one that was as big as a basketball, was enough to expand one-tenth of his dantian's current storage. And if he were to absorb ten of those, his dantian would become two times sturdier than it was.

In other words, if Qin Feng wanted, he could make his dantian hold two hundred times more internal energy than most people on the planet. Even the B-tier aptitude users did not have such great supply of internal energy.

Chapter 469: Returning to Long Chuan

Still, Qin Feng was not satisfied.

"I have so many gaea crystals and I'm stopping when my dantian has only grown twice as huge? How is that enough?"

"Those overpowered geniuses at Dragon Capital… all of them have dantians that are several times stronger than this. I've even heard that in some powerful ancient warrior families, they even have their own unique, powerful neigong secret techniques!"

"They had to train since they were three years old. They had started training their neigong techniques. Most of them have already trained for ten years when they reached 16 years of age and ascended to D-tier. Their dantian could store several times more internal energy than any mere ancient warrior!"

Qin Feng, on the other hand, came from one of the satellite towns in an underdeveloped city. It was quite rare for them to have any D-tier aptitude user; but whenever there was any aptitude user rising up, those tended to be really powerful.

Nonetheless, it was a common phenomenon for Dragon Capital to get at least 10 D-tiers in a year.

"So, I'll keep absorbing!"

He had harvested this many gaea crystals after all. If he did not use them all, what would he need them for? And Qin Feng had a lot of them too—after all, he was one of the firsts to climb up to Psipur Holy Mountain. As such, Qin Feng could afford to absorb one hundred of them without batting an eye.

In the following days, Qin Feng kept absorbing the gaea crystals like a mad man. And thus, his dantian had grown ten times sturdier than that of an ordinary man. His dantian had now expanded to its maximum potential, and there was no way it could grow anymore.

"My dantian is now ten times sturdier than before. I suppose even those people in Dragon Capital can't achieve this!" Qin Feng nodded to himself in satisfaction.

However, he did not intend to stop absorbing. He started to focus his consciousness at the Diamond Starglobe. As the gaea crystals were being absorbed, the Diamond Starglobe too was expanding rapidly.

Compared to their effects on the dantian, the gaea crystals had more chemistry with the consciousness crystal cores.

"I see. That's why Xiao Bai has been hugging and nibbling on them all day. So, that's why!"

These gaea crystals were indeed invaluable treasures. These were so beneficial to the aptitude users.

Thus, Qin Feng kept on absorbing while the aircraft kept on moving forward to its destination.

***

After the invasion of the Grans, the Longchuan Mountains finally started to be able to enjoy a little bit of peace. The Grans were an intelligent race; thus, they did not take up space in the mountains. Instead, they decided to move into the towns and cities that humans built.

Now, there were Grans everywhere in the ten colonies. Some of them even kept humans as their slaves. They had also taken up residence in Longchuan City – the original place where those high-tier aptitude users lived.

The whole place had now fallen to their hands entirely.

Different civilizations had different concepts of what was valuable. Therefore, when the Grans explored and plundered the city, they were overjoyed to find countless priceless materials that the humans thought to be useless and common in the area. One of the most precious things were the spatial stones.

Thus, they kept plundering and plundering, increasing their wealth tremendously day by day.

Due to them focusing their attention on land now, there were only one-tenth of Grans on the Floating City now. Some high ranking Grans even piloted their own unique aircraft and ventured out to complete missions!

"Guo Guan, halt. We'll stop here." Qin Feng ordered.

"Yes, Boss! I have a document containing the recent intel in the area." Guo Guan handed a document to Qin Feng. The document detailed the recent changes in Longchuan.

There were still other Human Alliance cities in the Longchuan province. However, the Grans did not seem to intend to invade further, resulting in a stalemate between the two factions.

However, the Human Alliance had lost one A-tier Aptitude User from the fall of Longchuan City. This was quite a great loss.

"Right. I'll head out tonight. All of you should get some rest!" Qin Feng ordered.

"Certainly. I'll let the others know. So, you want to head out to do some hunting, Boss?"

"Hunting?" Qin Feng smiled. "Well, maybe. You could say this is a hunt indeed!"

A few hours later, the night started to cloak the massive landscape of Longchuan!

And in this environment, Qin Feng, who had dark abilities, felt great power surging in his body! Now, after absorbing two-third of their supply of gaea crystals, Qin Feng and Bai Li's crystal cores had been expanded to at least ten times than before.

Their combat prowess had certainly grown to horrifying levels!

"Let's go!"

"Now I can pinpoint a precise location and teleport us there!" Bai Li's power had advanced a lot. So, naturally, she was very happy to bring Qin Feng to his destination.

In no time, they had zoomed past the entire Longchuan Mountains and reached Colony Three.

And then, they kept on moving forward and arrived straight at Longchuan City.

As they raised their heads, they could see a massive city-like structure hovering above Longchuan City. This was the "city" that threatened the Human Alliance, the reason why the high-tier aptitude users dared not go near Longchuan City—the infamous "Floating City".

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng and Bai Li had teleported onto the Floating City.

The lower half of the Floating City was a half-globe while the upper part was a massive flat area with layers of towering structures and houses, giving a sphere shape from afar.

The Floating City was so huge that it could easily house around 100,000 people. However, at this moment, the Floating City had only around 10,000 people in it.

Thus, when Qin Feng and Bai Li teleported into the city, they were able to appear straight into an empty house, thus not seen by any Grans.

This was why Bai Li's abilities were so great. As Bai Li scanned their surroundings once more, both of them vanished into thin air again before reappearing again in a massive room with devices and screens—a room that looked like a control center.

This control room was even bigger than the one in the aircraft. There were a lot of buttons and analogs. And more importantly, there were a lot of Grans moving about in the room.

It was quite obvious that they were now deep inside the Floating City!

"Who's there?!"

A Gran let out an ear-piercing screech.

This was expected. After all, they did not expect Qin Feng and Bai Li to appear in the Floating City's command center!

One of the Grans was a man with a pair of wings on his back, clad in a colorful robe, emitting a powerful aura that was akin to a C-tier beast emperor's. This must be the general that commanded the Grans to invade Longchuan City!

"Humans! Humans!! Kill them!" The Gran general pointed at Qin Feng and Bai Li and ordered.

The other Grans immediately whipped out their weapons and took aim at Qin Feng.

However, in the next moment, everything went dark.

Then, excruciating cries could be heard everywhere.

The Gran general could not utter another sentence before being cut down by Qin Feng with his Verdant Emperor Saber!

In an instant, several Grans were slain!

Then, Qin Feng activated a few devices of the Floating City.

Piloting the Floating City was quite different from piloting the aircraft. However, this was no problem for Qin Feng because he did get to pilot a Floating City replica in his previous life. So, he knew what buttons to push and which levers to pull.

Not only that, there were also a few devices and controls that could only be activated via conscious energy.

Usually, this would require a lot of people to coordinate together to perform proper control of the massive city.

However, this was not necessary when Qin Feng was there.

After connecting his consciousness to the controls, in an instant countless cannons were activated and started to charge up.

All these cannons were aiming at Longchuan City.

The Grans that were guarding the night at Longchuan City raised their heads in surprise as they saw the silver ray beaming up in the night sky. It was the Floating City, charging up its cannons!

"What's going on? The Floating City has activated its weaponry!"

"What are they doing? Are they nuts?!"

"Arghhhhhh!!!!!"

Their confusion was never answered. All of them vanished and turned to dust as huge pillars of white beams rained down from the sky.

Qin Feng had taken control of the Floating City and bombarded Longchuan City!

Tens of thousands of Grans were now dead!

Meanwhile, the rest of the Grans that were still active on the Floating City were all petrified as confusion and fear overwhelmed them!

Chapter 470: Impossible Feat

"What's going on? Why are we attacking our own people?"

"Whose order was that? This is impossible!"

"Quick! To the control room!"

The Grans rushed to the control room anxiously.

Yet, as they were on their way to the control room, countless auto-defense weaponry started to rain hell from above!

In the past, these weapons would be attacking the intruders and enemies. Now, they fell to their own weapons.

Qin Feng took control of the city's defense system and started to slaughter the rest of the Gran population.

In just 20 minutes, the rest of the Grans, about 10,000 of them, were all slaughtered by their own weaponry. It was a massacre!

Then, when there were only a few Grans left cowering in fear, Qin Feng then piloted the Floating City away from Longchuan City.

At the same time, the Human Alliance drones that were keeping an eye on Longchuan City too picked up on what was going on there. Several aptitude users rushed straight to the scene and were shocked to see what they found.

In an instant, the news spread like wildfire.

"The Floating City has retreated?"

"And Longchuan City was destroyed?! What? And over 50,000 Grans were slaughtered?!"

"Who did this?"

Deep down, they knew this was definitely not the work of the Grans. They would not murder their own people.

And half an hour later, they were now sure that the Grans had been defeated.

The Floating City had bombarded Colony One to Colony Ten—all of these colonies had fallen to the hands of the Grans. So, with all of these colonies being bombarded to ash, this meant that the Grans were completely wiped out.

Everyone was stunned when they received the news late in the night.

The Human Alliance quickly sent their B-tier aptitude users to rush to the scenes for a quick surveillance. If it were true that the humans had taken control of the Floating City, this meant that the dreaded city in the sky would not attack them now.

Meanwhile, the Floating City did not completely move out of the Longchuan province—it went to the mountains and allowed an aircraft to land on its central plaza. A few minutes later, the aircraft crew got down and stepped onto the city.

"Boss… Boss! Wow… so, this is your hunt?!" Guo Guan was shocked as he looked around him.

It was totally out of anyone's expectation that Qin Feng was able to do this impossible feat in just a few hours!

This was the first time Guo Guan stood on the Floating City. It was quite difficult for him to believe that he was now standing on the Grans' Floating City—if you were standing at the edge of the city, the whole place looked almost identical to a city filled with skyscrapers.

Guo Guan was excited to see this unworldly technology!

"Alright, men! You can tour the place some other day. Now, let's gather up the corpses and throw them off the city!" Qin Feng ordered.

"Yes, Boss!"

Thus, the crew started to clean up the city while the Floating City flew to Longchuan City's Colony Three and hovered there.

In less than an hour, a hover copter flew straight into the airspace of the Floating City.

With a sharp look, Qin Feng could sense who was in the helicopter.

"Huh, so he dares to come, aye?!" Qin Feng smirked.

Without hesitation, Qin Feng activated the Floating City's weaponry and started firing at the hover copter.

Pzzzt Pzzzt!!!

A shower of powerful beams darted straight at the hover copter, forcing it to fly out of the city's airspace.

Having just narrowly escaped from a horrible death, the faces of the aptitude users on the hover copter had all turned as pale as a sheet.

They had witnessed how the Floating City had slain an A-tier fire-type ability user in an instant. They knew just how powerful this massive city was.

Then, they tried to get near the city again. After all, the Floating City had aided humans to take back Longchuan City. So, the ones in the city could not be their enemies.

Still, another shower of energy beams was shot at them again. The gunner that was piloting the hover copter was so afraid that he felt as though his limbs had gone numb.

Then, he saw a message and opened his mouth, "General Guang Wei, someone is requesting a video communication from the Floating City!"

Guang Wei beamed up with a smile. "So, it's true that someone has robbed the Floating City from the Grans. They have destroyed the Grans. They have done great deeds for the humans!"

Guang Wei could not wait to leave Longchuan province due to its shortage of resources. However, he was stuck there. After the higher-ups received news that he had fled amidst the battle, they had given him a stern warning.

There was no way he could flee from the battlefield for a second time.

So, when he heard that someone had seized and taken control of the Floating City, it was like a god-sent help that Guang Wei desperately needed. He was eager to thank the person who helped him with his predicament.

"But Sir, he was attacking us earlier!" One of Guang Wei's underlings, a C-tier, anxiously said.

Guang Wei lowered his head and pondered before saying, "Perhaps he did not want us to get close to the city yet. This is the Floating City, after all. There are so many people who want to own such a massive flying treasure. So, it's a natural response."

Everyone on the hover copter felt a throb of envy in their hearts!

Who was it? Who was the person who now owned the Floating City? He was so lucky!

"So, he means us no harm. He could not just send a message to us and then kill us. Or else, he would have already shot us down as soon as we appeared in their air space. This is just a gentle tap, asking us to not bother them!"

Guang Wei's voice was cold and calm.

"Establish the communication, pilot!"

"Yes, Sir!" The gunner activated the communicator after receiving Guang Wei's order.

Then, a man appeared on the screen of the hover copter's communicator.

A man that Guang Wei least expected.

Guang Wei's smile froze the instant he saw the man on the communicator.

"You?! How could it be you?"

The man was a youngster. A really young man.

That was Qin Feng.

"General Guang Wei, long time no see!" Qin Feng smiled.

It was quite amusing to see Guang Wei's face now.

The person he wanted to thank right now was the person he had forced out—Qin Feng!

How was he going to thank him? Not only that, Guang Wei felt that Qin Feng was trying to shame him via this communication.

What a really huge slap to the face!

Another C-tier underling, who did not know who Qin Feng was, smiled. "Ah, so this man is an acquaintance of our great General Guang Wei. This is good news. Hey, were you the one who took control of the Floating City and wiped out the Grans?"

"Yes, that was me!" Qin Feng answered calmly.

The C-tier said respectfully, "Dear mister, you have done a great deed for the Human Alliance. The authority would definitely reward you for this!"

Qin Feng started to laugh. "Oh no, I'm a wanted man in the Human Alliance, with my bounty ordered by General Guang Wei. I dare not receive such rewards. Besides, I've already been to the City of Death a while ago… so I suppose you should consider me as part of the Dark Coalition now."

The C-tier was surprised to hear this.

Qin Feng smirked, "General Guang Wei, do you intend to kill me now and collect my bounty? No? Then how about this? Let's reverse the role. I'll do the killing, and the target is you. What do you say?"

Guang Wei's face turned grim.

"Qin Feng, you're not kidding, are you?"

Qin Feng's face turned cold instantly.

"Joking? Guang Wei. When you wanted me to pay the unfair price of 5 trillion, when you put a bounty on my head, were you joking too? If you weren't joking back then, why would I joke with you too?"

As he was talking, the Floating City's cannons started to charge up and fire!

"Ahhhh!!" The Gunner screamed as he quickly turned the hover copter around in fear, trying to evade the energy beams.

Qin Feng controlled the Floating City and kept on pursuing them, not intending to let them go.

Guang Wei's face was as pale as a ghost's.

"What's… what's going on? General Guang Wei, was that man your enemy, Sir?"

Chapter 471: This Guy Seems To Be Guang Wei

Enemy? Was he not an enemy?

It was not just that the situation had been turned on its head so quickly, but it had barely been a few months before the person returned!

The original thought had been that it would not be too hard to kill a D-tier, it would be like crushing a bug.

Now it seemed like they had offended a powerful enemy.

Gunners piloted the hover copters but they were not enough to get out of the Floating City's attack range. If the Floating City were not really aiming for them, how would they have been able to avoid its relentless artillery fire?

Just a barrage of covering fire and they would easily be shot down.

"Stop talking nonsense and run!" Guang Wei's face was as white as a sheet, feeling like he was being suffocated.

"Run? I need to be able to run first!" The gunner lamented, then he looked like he just had an epiphany and said, "General Guang Wei, what level is this enemy? If he could control the Floating City then it means we could do it too, if his control isn't that refined then General, you could rush toward the Floating City and the machinery would not be useful against you then!"

Better than staying here and being bombarded.

Guang Wei's eyes lit up at the idea and his heart beated with adrenaline.

Qin Feng's original strength was only D-tier. It was hard to gauge his strength in this current situation but it could be presumed that he would not have improved very much in this short amount of time.

Perhaps it was Qin Feng's girlfriend who had the space ability that allowed him to launch a surprise attack and take the Floating City.

There was no need to say that Guang Wei guessed it correctly!

"That's right! You keep trying to avoid him. I'm going in!"

His eyes glinted, his morale had been improved.

'That's right, Qin Feng could deal with the Grans but he couldn't deal with me, otherwise, why would he have escaped with his girlfriend? If I beat him, doesn't that mean that the Floating City is mine?"

The more he thought about this, the more riled up Guang Wei got. Even his normally cold demeanour had a touch of brightness that showed that he was excited.

In the next moment, with a surge of consciousness, his body transformed into a small storm of ice.

"Hoo!"

The small ice storm was pushed forward by the wind, scattering in all directions as it was blown toward the Floating City.

Then the storm got bigger and bigger until it became a blizzard. Above the Floating City, a massive amount of snow appeared as if it was going to cover the whole thing in the blink of an eye.

Guang Wei had changed into snow and actually landed on the Floating City!

Previously, the Floating City had a protective shield and the Human Alliance sent countless bombardment runs to destroy it but they were all fruitless attempts!

But now, he had managed to arrive using such an obvious method!

Not only that, the Floating City had stopped firing.

"Hmph, must have seen me and is trying to get an emergency rescue, and he stopped firing because of that!" Guang Wei thought, feeling very pleased with himself.

"Qin Feng, this has to be the dumbest thing you've done!"

Guang Wei extended his consciousness, wanting to find Qin Feng's location and control the Floating City.

However, just as his consciousness spread out, a silver light appeared twenty meters away from him.

Then, two figures appeared

He felt a scorching heat rush to his face in an instant.

The snow falling onto the city instantly melted.

Guang Wei narrowed his eyes.

"C-tier! How is that possible?" Guang Wei wondered if he was hallucinating.

How long did Qin Feng leave for? He was now C-tier!

"General Guang, coming in uninvited is bad etiquette!"

"Qin Feng, you are wanted by the Human Alliance and I am here to arrest you, we are beyond invitations now."

Qin Feng smirked. "You're right, but that depends on whether you can actually arrest me. General Guang, for yesterday's hatred, I'm going to be repaying them in full today!"

During the time in the Human Alliance's consciousness world, after being targeted by Guang Wei and then chased down, it was impossible to not be angry at the situation.

Naturally there were grievances, and from grievances came revenge!

"So, you still want revenge? That's one of the worst jokes I've heard this year. Let's see what you have then? That C-tier ability? It won't be enough!"

As he spoke, ice-blue runes began to appear around him, forming into the silhouette of a phoenix.

"You'll know once you have a taste of it!"

Qin Feng also unleashed his consciousness, runes floating up into the air and fanning out into the shape of a peacock.

"How could a peacock compare to my Ice Phoenix!" Guang Wei was filled with confidence, his consciousness surged and the Ice Phoenix soared.

Qin Feng raised his hand and gently pushed forward, the Blue Flame Peacock then rushed forward.

The two quickly collided, flapping their wings to strike one another.

The Ice Phoenix lowered the temperature of the Blue Flame Peacock, while the Blue Flame Peacock rapidly burned through the ice, causing its attacker to quickly melt.

As the two clashed, their final impact against one another ended in a resounding explosion.

Shards of ice and flames were sent scattering.

"How is that possible?"

Guang Wei could not believe it.

Qin Feng's ability was as powerful as his.

At that moment, Qin Feng mobilized his consciousness again.

Several Blue Flame Peacocks appeared beside him.

Guang Wei's eyes widened.

"Go!"

Qin Feng raised his hands and pointed at his target.

Guang Wei felt that the situation had turned for the worse.

"Icy Phoenix!"

However, with the speed at which he condensed his runes, he was too slow and obviously could not do it like Qin Feng who unleashed ten in a single moment.

The Icy Phoenix could take on one Blue Flame Peacock but there were nine more incoming!

"Trail of Frost!"

In a split second, Guang Wei retreated with the Blue Flame Peacocks still chasing after him.

"Ice Wall!"

A massive wall of ice appeared in front of him.

Boom boom boom!

Three Blue Flame Peacocks slammed into it, instantly knocking down the wall.

Guang Wei had only run for about a hundred meters.

There were still six more behind him, rushing after him like targeted missiles.

He continuously unleashed abilities to try and stop these attacks, but he could only release abilities while he was running away.

The transfer of abilities took time!

Even Guang Wei could not bear such an intense transfer.

What was more, he suddenly realized that he had reached the edge of the city.

There was nowhere left to go!

"Skcraw!" A Blue Flame Peacock rammed toward his position.

Boom!

Guang Wei was immediately sent flying.

Meanwhile, the gunner who thought that Qin Feng had been already defeated by Guang Wei was cautious piloting his hover copter and his eyes lit up when saw a figure fall off the Floating City.

"Wow. General Guang's really fast!" said the pilot with admiration.

The person who had been sitting behind General Guang earlier had a feeling of suspicion, but then he was shocked and began to panic.

"Hey? Wait… That man, that seems to be General Guang Wei!!!"
