Chapter 724: Extermination of Firework Mountain
In fact, there was a reason behind why Qin Feng was making a fuss about Niel Bol.
He never expected the Amazon Alliance to try and entrap them. He was not sure if something like this had ever happened before his rebirth, but it probably did not.
Otherwise, how could Xu Qing have escaped?
Maybe he paid a huge amount of money for ransom or something.
Qin Feng felt that he was the cause of this butterfly effect which led to this current situation.
Since he hunted down and killed the Glutton Leviathan, the events at the mountain changed and the losses in the Human Alliance were worse than what happened before his rebirth.
As such, this allowed the Amazon Alliance to harbor greed.
Good thing Qin Feng tagged along this time otherwise the results might have been unthinkable.
General Xu Qing was someone he admired very much and before his rebirth he considered the man as his savior. Although the man had been assigned a task, he still managed to save a lot of people and could not be stopped. This was a person worthy of admiration.
If Qin Feng did not come along, maybe Xu Qing would meet his end here!
"Since things have already been affected, then I should set an example and let these people know that members of the Huaxia Alliance shouldn't be messed with!"
When a person's strength had reached a certain level, they would also gain a massive amount of authority.
Due to the existence of S-tiers basically coercing different forces, the multiple factions within the Human Alliance was formed.
However, it was impossible for just the S-tiers to run the whole show. With so many aptitude users acting as soldiers and heroes, it was a daunting task.
Qin Feng was willing to turn himself into a weapon, and wherever this weapon pointed at he would send chills down his enemies' spines and strike fear into their hearts!
He put away his thoughts and got ready to rest. Naturally, the next day was going to be the day of a massive battle!
***
The next day, as soon as Qin Feng stepped out of the hotel he could feel eyes locking onto him.
These eyes immediately flickered away, as if afraid that they would be discovered by Qin Feng. However, with how strong Qin Feng was, how could he not see the other's movements.
Despite that, Qin Feng ignored it and unabashedly walked out, took out his aircraft and stepped into it.
Secretly, a number of people began to send messages among themselves.
"The person has come out and is heading west!"
"He's heading to Firework Mountain?"
"Hurry, tell the others to go there!"
"There's a field of spiritual energy there. Not sure what happened with the Death Swamp yesterday, but I heard it suddenly dried up. The news has already spread and I'm afraid these people aren't going to give up!"
"Damn it, it's all money, who would give up?"
These people were actually members of the Dark Coalition in Greenlit City that Niel Bol had contacted.
While birds would die in pursuit of food, man would die in pursuit of wealth. How could these people give up on the wealth they had?
Qin Feng hoped that would be so!
After looking at the news on the Bounty Hunter Network, he had already planned to go there last night.
In less than half an hour, he was already descending on Firework Mountain in the west.
Just when his aircraft was about to land, it was attacked!
"Gravity Field!"
"Tornado!"
"Precious Lock!"
Several ability users jumped out of the dark and began to manipulate Qin Feng's aircraft, causing it to slow down drastically
This sudden attack caused Qin Feng's aircraft to get locked in place and the ambushers were overjoyed when they saw this.
"Attack! Attack!"
In an instant, a series of artillery fire burst out and lit up that side of Firework Mountain with brilliant sparks.
If it were not because of this mountain being an active volcano, thus being named Firework Mountain, Qin Feng would have guessed that this place was named that because of the amount of artillery.
Although there was a lot of artillery being fired at him, they had bad quality. The technology of the Amazon Alliance was extremely backward, their attacks were nothing to him!
Still, he did not want the artillery to even touch his aircraft's protective layer.
"Reverse!"
Qin Feng barked out the word and a storm of consciousness erupted from him.
A powerful wave of consciousness instantly spread out, and those who were ability users felt as if a cold wind was blown over them!
When the consciousness hit the artillery it was even better. The consciousness that originally manipulated these weapons were pushed aside or even obliterated. In an instant, all of the shells went wild and flew upward.
In the direction of Firework Mountain, the gunners who had just fired these attacks turned pale and broke out into cold sweat.
Not only that, their eyes widened so much that they were about to pop out of their heads!
They saw the artillery soar up into the sky as they changed directions, going from the base of the mountain to the peak.
The artillery was getting closer and closer to the gunners!
"Oh!"
"Flee!"
"Run away! Run away!"
The gunners shouted frantically.
Whreeee…
The shriek of the artillery indicated that they were getting closer and closer before they finally impacted against the mountain's peak.
Boom, boom, boom, boom….
The terrible blasting sound seemed to go on for an eternity.
As rocks were blasted apart and their base was instantly destroyed, the ensuing landside came crashing down on where the gunners were. When they screamed for escape, none of them ended up making it as they were all buried under the rubble.
If they were strong people, they would be able to survive. However, to make matters worse, Firework Mountain began to shake.
Boom!
The earth roared, magma spewed out from cracks in the earth as it flowed down in a terrible torrent.
Obviously this kind of artillery would have triggered Firework Mountain to unleash its 'firework display'.
At this moment, the three ability users that attacked Qin Feng were all fuming with rage.
Those who died were their subordinates. The place that got buried was where their base camp was. Now that it got ruined by Qin Feng's meddling, how would that be redeemed?
"Charge!"
The three ability users shouted in unison.
However, at this moment the aircraft suddenly shifted and turned into a racecar. Not only that, it put up an energy shield. The energy shield instantly defended against the incoming attacks these three unleashed.
Qin Feng floored the machine, immediately accelerating and instantly sped toward the metal ability user.
His Verdant Emperor Saber was already in his hand and he stretched it out of the window. Even if the ability user avoided his charge, they would not be able to escape his blade!
Pfft!
As the craft passed by, one of them dropped!
The ability user was bisected by the attack.
The craft seemed to form a trail in the air as it moved.
Pfft! Pfft!
The other two remaining ability users died violently as well!
B-tier, in Qin Feng's eyes, meant that nothing was a match against him!
***
Half an hour later, people from other organizations rushed toward Firework Mountain. At this time, there were still traces of damage that could be seen and volcanic ash covered the ground. However, nobody could feel a trace of heat, only the faint whispers of lingering fire runes.
The energy here was so thin that it was almost imperceivable.
Despite that, everyone knew that this place was once originally beautiful and full of energy.
"Firework Mountain has been ruined!"
Chapter 725: The Last Stop
Qin Feng massacred the people in Firework Mountain. Him deflecting the artillery fired at him caused the Dark Coalition's people, approximately four to five hundred aptitude users, to get killed.
In addition to the three B-tier ability users that tried to ambush him, there were twenty more C-tier aptitude users as well. He didn't let any one of them go and slaughtered them as well.
After that he used his absorption ability to consume the spiritual energy that flowed around the area as well as the massive amount of natural rune energy that lingered inside the volcano and completely cleaned it out.
It could be said that his absorption ability had turned the entire place desolate.
Qin Feng did not feel bad about it, neither did he bother searching for the countless amounts of spatial rune equipment that was probably buried under the tons of rock he dropped on them and carried on.
Two hours later, he arrived in another city belonging to the Amazon Alliance.
An hour later, a B-tier Dark Coalition member was found and pulled out of the shadows. Following that was the death of two more B-tiers and eight C-tiers. Even D-tiers and E-tiers were not spared. The ensuing battle resulted in the tragic deaths of dozens of people.
Another hour and a half later, an A-tier Dark Coalition member was put down by Qin Feng. The clash was instantaneous, ending in the A-tier collapsing to the ground.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Feng found another member….
Four o' clock in the afternoon…
Six o' clock in the afternoon…
Qin Feng ended up blazing through seven of the Dark Coalition's bases in one day and the more he killed the more vicious he fought. Not only that, people noticed that Qin Feng's strength had increased!
At this time, when night fell, Qin Feng set up a tent in the wild. It was summertime and the weather was not too chilly. Qin Feng had lit a campfire and was enjoying the meat of an ultra beast that he hunted down!
"Today's spoils ain't so bad!" Qin Feng was in a good mood as he roasted the meat in front of him.
Those people were right. At this time, Qin Feng's power had significantly improved and he had reached B2-tier.
Qin Feng did not just kill people, he took away resources just as easily. Most of them were absorbed by him and if that was the case, his strength would naturally soar higher.
His physical prowess and his consciousness had both reached B2-tier!
After his food was done, Qin Feng scarfed it down until his mouth was coated with oil. After that, he sat down crossed-legged and began to activate Asteroid Assimilation.
In one day's time, the B-tier ancient warriors he killed, combined with the C-tier ancient warriors, were a number that could hardly be estimated.
All of these needed to be dealt with to enable Qin Feng to be able to use the pent up energy.
"Ability, Absorb!"
The converted internal force, combined with the energy he absorbed earlier that added another 20 pools of force.
150 pools of force, that number was the equivalent to 1.5 times of what an A9-tier ancient warrior had!
That was the reason why he unscrupulously fought the A-tiers he encountered.
Not only that, throughout all of this, Qin Feng was caught up in the high of the slaughter.
"This time, I can go all out!" Qin Feng grinned maliciously. He knew that the more he killed the more annoyed the Dark Coalition would be. Among the seven bases he rampaged through today, he saw a lot of depraved things!
Female slave auctions, human experimentation, cannibalism and more!
It made Qin Feng recall some very bad things before his rebirth.
Perhaps this was the despair that was commonly experienced by the people of this age, but Qin Feng did not wish to feel that despair again!
The strong had their own way of living.
The weak had their own way of survival.
Once someone became strong, there was no way they would want to go back to being weak. It was an unimaginable concept.
Qin Feng's cheerful mood eventually darkened into a chill before it shifted into murderous intent.
He put out the flame and crawled into the tent.
He wanted a break, but this hunt was just beginning!
The third day…
The fourth day…
The fifth day…
Qin Feng changed locations every day, his whereabouts erratic, but the Dark Coalition had resources that it had to protect and as such he targeted those areas and slaughtered everyone the moment he went there!
Qin Feng's name became more and more infamous.
The Amazon Alliance's territory was roughly about the same size as two states in the Huaxia Alliance. Their cities were dense and their populations were large, but it could not withstand such a slaughter!
That being said, Qin Feng had killed more than one hundred B-tier aptitude users which was comparable to the number of aptitude users lost to the Divine Mountain!
That was something that no alliance could take lightly, not to mention the Amazon Alliance was a very small alliance!
These five days had seemed to touch several people's bottom line!
At this time, Qin Feng's rampage had taken him to one of the Amazon Alliance's largest cities.
That city was ironically a city built by the Dark Coalition and it was known as the Wailing City.
Qin Feng picked up a bounty which had a consistently high price with a full reward of that which tallied up to 139.01 billion and that bounty belonged to the governor of the Wailing City.
An A7-tier ancient warrior, the Goddess of Evil, Kalinsha!
Those who bore the title of godhood were naturally S-tier aptitude users and rumor had it that Kalinsha had relations to several S-tiers. Whether that was true or not was up in the air, but someone who was a governor of one of the largest cities in the alliance meant that they were naturally a powerful opponent.
Of course, her strength was on par with the horrible deeds that she had done!
She had killed more than three thousand women!
In the Great Rift Age, this was considered as a terrifying number!
Women were necessary for breeding but in Kalinsha's eyes they were just toys for slaughter and pleasure.
What was even stranger was the woman's beauty. She had flawless skin, a great figure, silky long hair and then some!
Sometimes she just killed people for no other reason but the fact that she felt like it.
The most horrible event revolving around her was her birthday when people from the Coalition sent her at least a hundred women and she ended up stringing those women up and personally cut them to bleed them out until they expired.
Their blood drenched the Wailing City's governor's backyard garden, causing a dense growth of man-eating flowers there and exuding a powerful aura of spiritual energy. It also carried with it the lingering stench of blood and rotting corpses.
This truly was a wretched city.
As Qin Feng got closer, so did the rotting smell get stronger.
"This is even worse than Helltown! Disgusting!" Qin Feng complained but continued to trudge toward the city.
He herald darkness as he arrived.
Now that Qin Feng had developed an infamous reputation in the Amazon Alliance, he detected a dangerous aura.
It could be that many people were waiting to kill him!
The Wailing City was Qin Feng's last stop. He was 100 percent sure that whatever was about to greet him was going to be a very great welcoming wagon.
"But, would that mean the more I go, the more interesting this gets? I want to know just who among these people, just who can stop me!"
Qin Feng let out a sinister chuckle as the darkness that he shrouded himself with intensified. In the cover of the night, nobody expected that an uninvited guest had let himself in!
What came next would be a cold and bloody wind blowing!
Chapter 726: Spatial Lockdown
In the dark, the governor's mansion turned out to be very lively. From what it seemed, it was obvious that a party was going on.
The governor stood amongst the crowd, her head held high like an arrogant black swan, but at the same time it felt like one was looking at a black widow.
Her age was indiscernible, it had been twenty to thirty years since she became infamous. On the surface, the entirety of the Amazon Alliance was ruled by her!
Of course, there were some S-tiers but they did not care about the superficial power struggles of the coalition.
Qin Feng kept himself hidden, his consciousness swept around and discovered that there were three A-tier aptitude users in the governor's mansion and there were more than thirty B-tiers!
These people were showering Kalinsha with compliments during this time.
"Thank the governor for her warm hospitality, if she had not taken me in I'd be homeless!"
"Hahah, you sound pathetic, but that person from Huaxia is overwhelming us!"
"There has to be a way to get rid of him!"
"How? Let the officials do it? We'd become a laughstock with our incompetence!"
These people were obviously worried about Qin Feng.
Kalinsha held up her wine glass and bore a charming smile. "Everyone, fret not, while he might be able to take on A-tiers, he's also expending a lot of energy!"
"I heard that in his fight against Salbar, he used the World Aflame move. While his strength isn't so clear it must have used up a lot of his energy!"
"This time, we've invited General Mercer and Lord Ralf over, he would not dare to come over!"
Kalinsha's gaze fell charmingly on the two people beside her.
General Mercer was a burly man that had a sloppily worn combat uniform, unbuttoned to expose his chest and his lush chest hair.
On the contrary, Ralf seemed like a well-kept gentleman who had neat brown hair and a handsome face.
When the others saw the two, they naturally offered their compliments and were very confident in those two.
Meanwhile, the hidden Qin Feng looked at the people around and regarded everyone in the room coldly.
Three A-tiers would indeed be difficult to deal with.
General Mercer was an A3-tier ancient warrior while Ralf was an A4-tier wood ability user. Both were very strong opponents.
However, Qin Feng only needed to kill Kalinsha!
Qin Feng was not in a hurry, and so he remained hidden in the dark.
Time trickled by as the party went on for two to three hours. Kalinsha felt bored, her eyes began to drift as she seemed to be unable to bear it. She approached Ralf and whispered something into his ear.
Ralf smirked and the two walked upstairs side by side.
Downstairs, General Mercer's face had an unsatisfied look before he brutishly grabbed a maid and yanked her into his arms.
"Kalinsha, that b*tch. Actually liking those pretty boy toys. Do you women prefer pretty boys?"
The maid was only an E-tier aptitude user. The reason she came to this party was so that she could meet a strong person. She did not expect someone like General Mercer to choose her. Though his actions toward her were kind of painful, the maid still put on a charming smile.
"No, General. I prefer the wilder ones!"
"Haha, you're not so bad!"
Mercer did not leave then and proceeded to unbutton his pants in full view of everyone, looking very pleased with himself.
Qin Feng sneered, he was too lazy to deal with this assault on the eyes. He slunk away, his steps quiet as he merged into the darkness and slithered through the shadows.
He scuttled upstairs, following behind Ralf and Kalinsha.
The two quickly entered the last room of a corridor and disappeared. While the door was closed, their consciousness was still detectable.
Qin Feng was worried about jumping the gun, and naturally decided to do some scouting first.
While A-tiers were a bit tricky, this situation was much better than the one they were in previously.
The moment these two got intimate, when their clothing were shed and were without the protection of their inner armor it was then that Qin Feng would guarantee that his Verdant Emperor Saber could pierce through both of them at once!
He waited for twenty minutes before he took out the Verdant Emperor Saber.
As soon as his blade appeared, its intense temperature burned through the wooden door in front of him and the carpet on the floor began to burn.
With a gentle flick of his hand, the door opened!
However, a dazzling white light burst out of the room and flooded Qin Feng's vision.
"Hng!"
Qin Feng let out a grunt, his eyes felt a stinging pain as he could not control himself from tearing up. This made him unable to see what was happening in front of him.
However, consciousness would not lie.
When he swept the room with his consciousness. Kalinsha and Ralf who he thought were about to get intimate were not making the bed rock at all. Instead they were neatly dressed and had on a full set of rune equipment, completely different from the formal wear that they were wearing.
Kalinsha resembled a female warrior when decked out in full combat armor!
Qin Feng chuckled as his consciousness was released.
"Looks like you were waiting for me!"
This was the first time Kalinsha had seen the murderous demon that was Qin Feng she heard so much about from the rumors. His reputation had already spread around the entire Amazon Alliance.
She did not expect him to be so young.
"What a shame, you are still very handsome but after today you're going to become a corpse!" Kalinsha said with a twinge of emotion.
Ralf grunted in dissatisfaction, "Kalinsha, you have me, he's just a pretty boy toy, what good is he?"
Qin Feng was amused by the other man's words. Ralf had the audacity to call someone else a 'pretty boy' when that was the exact same thing Mercer had called him!
"Alright, cut the chatter. We'll soon know who's going to be a corpse after this fight!"
The three's consciousness moved quickly. This exchange passed in only a matter of seconds before Qin Feng began to move.
If he dragged it on, Qin Feng might be able to restore his eyes that seemed to be damaged by some light ability but Mercer might come upstairs.
He had to kill Kalinsha first!
With that in mind, he rushed forward.
Suddenly at that moment, familiar fluctuations appeared in all directions.
Qin Feng could not see it but he knew what that power was!
Spatial ability!
This time, the entire corridor was shining with a silver light.
Qin Feng was extremely familiar with what was going on!
It was a Spatial Lock.
"Huh, quite the large investment in order to catch me!"
These people's Spatial Lock was different from the Spatial Barrier that Bai Li was able to activate at will and required a lot of spatial stones to make.
The money spent on this would have been massive!
Kalinsha laughed, "I shouldn't be worried that you might run away? It's not a good idea to provoke someone as strong as you. If I just hurt you, then you'd flee and come back in a day or two. What I like to do is solve things once and for all!"
Qin Feng's eyes began to clear up. When he opened his eyes, his vision was still blurred but he could see Kalinsha's shape so he locked onto her.
"Then perhaps, this space will also become your grave!"
Chapter 727: Whose Grave?
When Kalinsha heard those words, she broke out into laughter.
"My grave? Qin Feng from Huaxia, this will be your grave!"
As she said that, a group of people appeared at one end of the space, at the front of the stairs where Qin Feng walked up.
His brows were furrowed. He could not help but harden his expression, these people did not just include Mercer but there were four more people.
Indeed, all of these people were A-tier!
"You people have really underestimated me!" Qin Feng sneered.
He did not expect Kalinsha to invite six people over. That, including Kalinsha herself, would mean that there were a total of seven opponents.
Kalinsha saw Qin Feng not as an opponent but more like a walking treasury.
"Qin Feng, it's your fault for going overboard. You pillaged our resources and took it all for yourself. How could we let you go like this?"
These people did not know that Qin Feng had the absorption ability and nobody in the Dark Coalition or groups that Qin Feng attacked were able to personally witness what he did. A majority of them believed that he had just stowed away these treasures!
Those treasures must be on his person! If they killed him, that meant they would be richer than they ever were.
That was why these people gathered together.
"You think that I'm some lamb that you can just slaughter? Cut up between you and split up evenly? You're taking things for granted!"
Qin Feng lifted up the Verdant Emperor Saber and flashed a chilling grin. "I want to see, just who can stop me!"
When he took a step instead of going for Ralf and Kalinsha, he abruptly headed in Mercer's direction!
Not only because these groups of people were in the way of the exit, but it was also because they were ancient warriors!
Ability users were definitely the number one profession and even had a high chance of reaching A-tier.
However, the sheer number of ancient warriors made up for their ranks..
And coincidentally, ancient martial arts was Qin Feng's strongest factor!
The five people were taken aback when Qin Feng rushed toward them but they quickly sobered up and unleashed their powerful internal force.
Nobody dared to underestimate his power, if he could take on and kill two people at once then they would stand no chance in a one-on-one fight!
Whooooom!
Five plumes of internal force appeared, roiling with the force like the crashing waves of the open sea.
Those who were A-tier had internal force the equivalent of a sea and their strength was incredible.
Qin Feng's whole body was enveloped with internal force as well.
The distance between the two sides got closer and closer!
"Blooming Steel!"
The energies of the two sides collided together, causing a violent explosion as the energy spread all around them and formed into a hurricane.
This hurricane also began to appear outside and even the reinforced concrete buildings would have been destroyed. However, they were suddenly wrapped up by silver runes before disappearing without a trace.
Nobody was affected by the hurricane, and they attacked again!
"Kill him!" Kalinsha and Ralf jumped in from behind.
Kalinsha threw out a chain. At the end of the chain was a sharp barb like a scorpion's tail which was inky black in color. Something like that was obviously poisoned!
Ancient martial arts were different from abilities, but they carried their own special properties.
Some martial arts contained fire, some contained coldness and some were like poison.
Qin Feng's Asteroid Assimilation move had absorption properties and the Sky Burning Sword Style naturally used internal force to take on the properties of fire.
Kalinsha's was obviously poison.
As the sharp barb whizzed out it carried with it a foul corrosive energy as it pierced Qin Feng's internal force.
Not only that, but two swords, a dagger, a spear and a quarterstaff slammed into his internal force as well.
"Shatter!"
These people had fierce expressions on their faces, waiting for Qin Feng's internal force to shatter and allowing them to actually attack his body.
But how could Qin Feng just let them shatter his protection so easily!
His dantian quickly released internal force.
He burned through 50 pools of internal force in an instant!
This was the equivalent of a full force blow for an A5-tier ancient warrior. An immense force.
"Asteroid Assimilation! Repulsion!"
In that instant, Qin Feng's internal force exploded and an invisible aura around him repelled the weapons that were intended to strike him. This invisible aura also slammed into his attackers' internal force.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The internal force of six people was disrupted by this repelling force!
"I'll end you!"
Qin Feng swung the Verdant Emperor Saber and instantly gave chase to those that were flung away. His target was Kalinsha!
Her internal force had disappeared and it would take a few moments before she could use it to defend herself completely again. That being said, that was the most vulnerable moment for an ancient warrior!
Qin Feng's figure rushed forward, ready for the kill.
"World of Wood!"
This time, Ralf finally took action. Numerous plants with thorns appeared on the ground and if it were not for the Spatial Lock, the World of Wood would have burst out to hundreds of meters, making it impossible for anyone to escape!
In an instant, Qin Feng was entangled by countless vines and wrapped into a large plant ball!
Just before Ralf could even smirk, a terrifying burst of flame rushed out and filled up the entire hallway!
"Volcanic Eruption!"
Previously, Qin Feng had absorbed the magma of Firework Mountain and his runes formed a new ability. This time, flaming hot magma burst out from his palms like a volcanic eruption. In fact, it flooded the entire passage!
Kalinsha and Ralf were pushed back all the way to the end of the hallway!
The remaining five people saw that Qin Feng had his back turned on them. Their eyes flashed with murderous intent as they slashed out with their weapons!
Qin Feng turned around to defend himself, the Verdant Emperor Saber clashing against several incoming weapons.
Clang-tink!
He managed to block two incoming swords, not only that, one of them ended up getting broken in half by the Verdant Emperor Saber!
"Die!" Qin Feng swung horizontally as it burst into flames, unleashing Blazing Sky!
The ancient warrior in front of Qin Feng immediately dodged out of the way but behind him there was another ancient warrior who was unable to avoid the attack in time.
Pfft!
The burning blade brushed past the man's shoulder!
Originally, he was relieved that the blade did not actually hit him but soon that feeling disappeared as his face became twisted.
Half of his face ended up getting smashed and a terrible gouge appeared on his shoulder.
Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber was really terrifying. With its upgrades, just a mere brush would look as if he had been attacked a thousand times, carving out a massive wound.
Flesh had been cleaved from the side of his face, even revealing some of his teeth as a piece of flesh was chopped out from his shoulder.
"Aaiee!" The ancient warrior screamed.
A murderous glint flickered in Qin Feng's eyes, raising his unarmed left hand and pulling in a man.
"Asteroid Assimilation, Attract!"
In an instant, the ancient warrior lost control of his body and flew toward Qin Feng.
Chapter 728: Black and White Ashes
Qin Feng seized the opportunity and identified the mistake made by his opponent. The ancient warrior was instantly dragged over toward him.
The opponent was definitely shocked, while enduring the intense pain, a long sword was raised in hand and aimed toward Qin Feng, forcing him to stay back.
However, Qin Feng did not even have the intention to dodge it!
"Vroom!"
The long sword pierced into Qin Feng's internal strength shield, draining his internal energy at a shockingly high speed.
The ancient warrior felt like the weapon was trapped in a sludge and sucked into it, it was extremely difficult to move forward.
However, the internal strength shield was capable of nullifying other sources of energy but not isolate physical matter. The only usage of it was to delay the oppressive energy from the opponent.
Qin Feng's strong and unbending Verdant Emperor Saber had always been crushing the internal strength shield of the others. When the rune equipment of the others landed onto his internal strength shield, it had then turned into a different situation.
The weapons of Qin Feng's opponents did not stop moving forward, and his internal strength shield did not shatter either. However, the tip of the weapon was already right on top of Qin Feng's chest.
"Die!" The opponent was already slurring in speech, but still roared in rage.
However, something else was faster than his weapon, it was Qin Feng's hand.
"Asteroid Assimilation!"
All of a sudden, internal strength exploded, the opponent's dantian began to leak, energy waves were rolling down and being absorbed by Qin Feng.
Certainly, the opponent was instantly struck by the reversal meridian!
However, it was a complex situation, the ancient warrior was not alone, and there was the presence of six others.
"Save him!"
"Take this opportunity to kill him!"
"Kill him!"
The others were yelling as their weapons landed beside Qin Feng, finally, they had succeeded!
"Boom!" Qin Feng's internal strength shield exploded!
The weapons had landed on Qin Feng's body.
However, all of those weapons did not manage to pierce through Qin Feng's clothes.
Furthermore, an array of glowing light surrounding Qin Feng had appeared and withstood the excessive impacting force!
Other than the Sacred Armor, Qin Feng was wearing an additional inner suit of the Armor of Vajrayana!
"Hmph!"
Although it seemed like Qin Feng had not suffered any injuries, however, the simultaneous hit from all of the weapons on his body had still caused a massive impact on his internal organs!
If it were not because of Qin Feng's physical capabilities that was on par with a B-tier beast emperor, he would not have withstood such a number of attacks from all of them.
The others had noticed that their attacks toward Qin Feng were in vain. They then immediately switched their target, a dagger was aimed toward Qin Feng's neck at flashing speed!
Qin Feng raised his hand and tanked the attack with his Verdant Emperor Saber.
"Dang!"
A crispy clear impact was heard, and the opponent had assumed that it was an evenly matched strike, but soon, he sensed the massive horrifying energy from his hand that was channelled along with vibrations. He could no longer hold onto the dagger on his hand!
Crack!
Surprisingly, a gap was cracked open on the dagger, followed by cracking noises, the dagger was then filled with cracked lines!
"Ah, my weapon!" The ancient warrior was infuriated, as it was his most precious treasure that cost him a fortune. Surprisingly, it was destroyed by Qin Feng within seconds!
Qin Feng dodged the deadly attack, but the others obviously knew that they could not afford to lose such an opportunity, all of them slammed down their weapons.
"Hmph!"
Qin Feng snorted in disdain. He let loose of the ancient warrior. One third of the internal strength within his body had already been drained out, it was about four seas of energy, equivalent to forty pools of internal strength. It had regenerated a portion of Qin Feng's energy consumption earlier.
As for the opponent who was in a meridian disorder state, even if there was still a slight amount of energy remaining, it could only secure his survival and was insufficient for him to continue with the battle.
It was equivalent to one less opponent!
"Dark Shadow!"
All of a sudden, Qin Feng was already behind another person and dodged the besiege from the other four attackers.
"Kill!"
Qin Feng stood behind an ancient warrior and slashed his saber forward.
However, all of them came prepared, and Qin Feng was in an outnumbered situation. Soon, all of them ganged up on Qin Feng and forced him back!
Meanwhile, Kalinsha and Ralf had finally escaped from the magma and walked out.
But as soon as they saw the situation, they were instantly struck dumb by it.
At that moment, Qin Feng had already switched into another direction. Also, he was no longer in a deadlock by the simultaneous attacks!
Qin Feng let out a mocking sneer from the edge of his lips. Being a dark ability user, a powerful figure hidden in the dark, how could all of them stop his manoeuvre.
Now, the tables had turned!
Thereafter, it was a one-man show!
"Let's see if all of you can withstand my ability!"
A black lotus had appeared within Qin Feng's hand.
The appearance had instantly sent cold chills down the spines of all seven of them who were there, and they had never been so terrified before!
The intense presence of death lingered and filled the entire narrow corridor!
Qin Feng raised his hand, the lotus floated up instantly and began to enlarge.
"Apocalypse Bloom!"
The Apocalypse Bloom was originally massive in size, however, constrained within the limited space, the ability's explosion was contained within the entire available space. All seven aptitude users were instantly shrouded by the boundless dark runes.
"Ah!!!!"
The A-tier ancient warrior whose internal strength had been drained earlier was still unable to escape from his fate of being killed by Qin Feng!
He let out his miserable shriek as his originally wounded shoulder and cheek decayed at high speed. Within a blink of an eye, the decay had affected his entire body, he panicked and immediately swallowed spirit herbs taken out from his spatial rune equipment. However, as soon as those spirit herbs were exposed to the air, all of their energy was instantly drained out too!
All of a sudden, the A-tier aptitude user had turned into dried bones, and only rune equipment was left behind.
It was a spine-chilling moment for all of the others.
Internal strength shield was reactivated to repel the invasive dark energy.
It was at that moment, Ralf exploded once more.
"Eternal Life!"
An array of green rune energy fluctuations were immediately formed around Ralf, accumulated into a shadow of a giant tree, and he was then shrouded by it!
He ran forward and covered everyone else within, the presence of the tree was full of vitality as it resisted against Qin Feng's Apocalypse Bloom!
Meanwhile, Ralf appeared to be pale and worn out, but the full consciousness of the explosion still remained. He knew that as soon as he began to slack off, Qin Feng's Apocalypse Bloom would definitely devour all of them!
Qin Feng also seemed to be troubled by the situation, his consciousness maintained control on the runes and resisted against Ralf's wood runes!
It was at that moment, Kalinsha lifted up her hand as powerful energy exploded from the bracelet that she wore.
"Holy Gleam Fall!"
All of a sudden, the bracelet dazzled with eye-piercing white glows!
Qin Feng finally recalled the moment when he was attacked earlier. Unexpectedly, it was the god weapon bracelet that was capable of releasing all sorts of energy, similar to the features that the Sacred Armor would have!
Also, the glow was deadly toward dark ability users!
Both energy sources collided into each other, and a grey area was formed in between the black and white collision. It was as if all of the energy within the area was diminished.
It was even the same for spatial runes!
"Pa!"
A gentle snap was heard, the spatial rune could no longer conceal the massive amount of energy and instantly shattered.
Chapter 729: Blood Mist, Unrelenting Massacre
Several spatial stones that were embedded and hidden within the corridor were instantly crushed into pieces, forming into a giant range of densely filled tiny spatial rifts!
Rumble!
Walls began to fall apart, meanwhile, the rune collision between Qin Feng and Kalinsha had even overturned the roof!
It was a house built with five floors, and all levels above the third floor were overturned. Tens of meters of building structures exploded and all of them were annihilated.
Amid the chaotic scene, Qin Feng could not launch his attacks. Several spatial rifts in the surroundings were expanding and closing in so Qin Feng could only fall back.
Swoosh!
Qin Feng activated his Dragon Steps, and flew up to more than ten meters in height. Yet, he still suffered several scratches from the spatial rifts, and the glow from his Sacred Armor began to dim down.
Qin Feng's face turned sour!
The Sacred Armor was surprisingly ruined!
It was definitely detestable!
Qin Feng lashed his vicious vision onto the six people that were amid the ruins. At the same time, countless numbers of eyes were also looking back at him.
"Now!"
Kalinsha was also in a blood rage moment where she wished she could tear Qin Feng's body apart!
However, the call for action was not directed toward the five others, but it was meant for those who were outside.
The mission to hunt Qin Feng down had just begun!
Meanwhile, Qin Feng finally saw the scene on the outside!
Earlier, Qin Feng was in a Spatial Lock and was unaware of the ongoings from the outside. Now, it was all surrounded by aptitude users, and their numbers were horrifying!
There were originally approximately thirty to forty B-tiers that were present at the banquet. Perhaps Kalinsha had hidden some of the others, in total, there were more than a hundred of them now.
Furthermore, there were even C-tier aptitude users that were surrounding the outer part.
There were about seven to eight hundred of them, densely packed together. Qin Feng felt that every C-tier aptitude user from the Dark Coalition of the Amazon was there!
"Kill!"
There were at least tens of enraged B-tier aptitude users around, revealing their explosive consciousness.
Qin Feng was surrounded by all sorts of runes, there were even two to three light runes that were formed into massive abilities!
"Fire Dragon Style!"
"Earth Dragon Style!"
"Wind Dragon Style!"
"Light Dragon Style!"
An elemental wyvern sized about twenty meters in length whizzed around and shrouded the surrounding space that Qin Feng was in into a complete deadlock!
"Roar!"
The dragon roar echo was capable of numbing Qin Feng's hearing!
An overwhelming number of ants was capable of devouring an elephant, and Qin Feng was the elephant that was about to be bitten to death.
"Fire Wall!"
Qin Feng's consciousness exploded and engulfed him in flames. Kalinsha's banquet hall was lit up by magma that was spread across the ground, the building gradually sinking.
Meanwhile, the elemental wyvern was being forced back by Qin Feng's wall, his consciousness and runes were also draining quickly. However, he was still consumed by his urge to kill.
"Release the wall, suppress him!" Ralf shouted in a weakened voice.
The battle against Qin Feng's Apocalypse Bloom had consumed too much of Ralf's consciousness. Furthermore, fire abilities were originally the bane of wood abilities. Ralf had protected the other five persons, and he could no longer withstand Qin Feng's attack anymore!
The double-floored building was about to sink, and Ralf felt that he should prioritize his escape.
However, his intention was the total opposite of Qin Feng's.
Escape? At that moment, how could Qin Feng allow him to escape?!
Qin Feng activated his consciousness and launched a horrifying attack!
"Fire Dragon Style!"
Tens of magma fire dragons rushed toward Ralf!
"Be careful!" The tall and sturdy Mercer blocked in front with internal strength shrouding his body, it was formed into a range of powerful energy fields.
It was already beyond the coverage of an internal strength shield.
Internal strength shield field!
The range of the shield field withstood the attacks from tens of fire dragons summoned by Qin Feng and exploded instantly.
Boom boom!
The explosion tossed Mercer and Ralf downstairs, and they plunged into the magma!
Pzz pzz pzz pzz!
Rune equipment on Mercer and Ralf were lit up by flames, they were heavily injured by the flame and felt the burning pain.
"What are you guys doing? Kill him quickly!" Kalinsha shouted again.
Meanwhile, B-tier aptitude users that surrounded Qin Feng's fire wall had finally regained their conscious minds!
B-tier aptitude users had less understanding toward shield fields or walls, however, there were still some talents or figures that had risen up long enough to understand them. Even if only one fifth among them could comprehend, there would already be more than twenty of them.
They looked at each other and released their suppression toward Qin Feng's fire wall.
The wall was instantly forced to shrink, while the remaining aptitude users also released their battle skill abilities, draining Qin Feng's consciousness and runes.
It had become a to-and-fro tussle!
Apart from Mercer and Ralf, Kalinsha and the other four ancient warriors exerted their shield fields within Qin Feng's fire wall and resisted against him.
The battle had almost escalated to a white-hot one!
Qin Feng was draining a great amount of internal strength and consciousness, and at the moment he felt slightly exhausted. Furthermore, he knew that things would eventually end up to be unfavourable for him!
"Retreat!"
Qin Feng reduced the coverage of the fire wall, in the eyes of the others, it was a clear indication that Qin Feng could no longer sustain himself!
"Ah!! Forward, kill him!"
A bunch of B-tiers were thrilled and shouted.
Qin Feng was also consumed by his immense urge to kill.
The A-tier aptitude users were not easy targets, but to take down the others, was it not as easy as pie for Qin Feng?
He instantly changed his target and launched his deadly attack toward a B-tier ability user.
The ability user was suppressing Qin Feng's fire wall with a mighty water wall. The outcome was obviously effective, but little did he know that Qin Feng would change his target and go for him instead.
"Ah!"
He opened his eyes wide and witnessed Qin Feng pierce through his water wall and close in for a deadly horizontal slash with the Verdant Emperor Saber in hand!
An entire skull was decapitated and tossed up to the sky.
Pfft!
Fresh blood squirted and sprayed onto Qin Feng's body.
"Ability, absorb!"
Qin Feng went wild with his activated ability. The dead body of the aptitude user killed earlier was still warm, but it was then struck by the exploding ability from Qin Feng and transformed into a dried corpse.
However, the others ignored the sacrificed dead body. They were consumed by their bloodlust, and several ancient warriors were already standing before Qin Feng.
"Mountain Shoving Palm!"
"Sky Shatter Split!"
Ancient warriors unleashed their powerful internal strength and slammed their attacks toward Qin Feng.
Vroom!
Qin Feng's internal strength shield had risen again and withstood all of the incoming attacks that landed on it!
"Get away from me!"
Qin Feng let out an enraged roar and swept his Verdant Emperor Saber across!
Meanwhile, without any special skills and with only injection of internal strength, the Verdant Emperor Saber was embedded with an explosive fuchsia glow, disintegrating everything that it swept past!
Kill!
Kill kill kill!
Qin Feng charged forward to kill, securing kills from each slash as fresh blood squirted onto his internal strength shield that had just coagulated. It would then be vaporized by the internal strength as the amount of incoming opponents surged. Qin Feng continued to kill all of them as their fresh blood sprayed onto him.
It was like Qin Feng had been shrouded by blood mist.
Chapter 730: The Second Apocalypse Bloom
Within just several steps, Qin Feng had already killed more than twenty B-tier aptitude users. His Asteroid Assimilation went wild swirling around, and the internal strength of all ancient warriors around were drained out by him. The dead ability users had also replenished his consciousness.
However, Qin Feng was attacked by even more people. Internal strength and abilities were everywhere, and it had caused Qin Feng's internal strength to plunge quickly.
"Let's see how long all of you can remain in this!" Qin Feng showcased his merciless expression as his weapon in hand was attacking non-stop, he knew that the only way for him to survive was to get more kills.
He killed to eliminate those dangerous threats, and another major reason was to heal his own injuries and regenerate his combat energy.
However, the others were also aiming to kill Qin Feng. As his internal strength shield was destroyed several times, countless numbers of abilities and battle skills landed onto his body, causing his clothes to be more and more worn out.
Qin Feng had even vomited fresh blood.
For each time his protective shield was destroyed, Qin Feng would also suffer heavy injuries.
However, those people were unaware of Qin Feng's equally powerful regenerating capability.
Meanwhile, accumulated from the slaughter, his internal strength had already been replenished to the level of a hundred pools.
Qin Feng instantly disappeared from the ground.
Dark abilities burst forth.
"Be careful!" Kalinsha shouted as the ring on her finger exploded with gleaming lights.
All of a sudden, everyone in the surrounding was dispersed by the light, including their own shadows, and Qin Feng's shadow was also revealed by it.
"Where is he?!"
"Ah, Master Ralf!"
"Watch out!"
Ralf glared with his eyes wide opened. Struck by a cold chill down his neck, he had never felt such a deadly threat before, and it was approaching from behind.
It all happened in a sudden, furthermore, Ralf was already exhausted!
It was too late.
"Poof!"
A dagger pierced through Ralf's stomach, followed by an array of brutal energy that tore his organs apart and crushed them into pieces!
Ralf activated his abilities and countless green lights burst forth from within his body. His wound was healed at a visible speed, but obviously, the expanding wound was faster.
The attributes of Qin Feng's weapon were too horrifying!
Furthermore, how could Qin Feng allow Ralf to have the opportunity to heal?
Qin Feng raised his hand as his Verdant Emperor Saber swished upward, drawing it away from Ralf's body.
Meanwhile, Ralf's struggling movements had finally come to an end.
A stretch of horrifying fuchsia marks were left on his face, and within seconds, Ralf had already been murdered by Qin Feng!
Massive amount of consciousness was channelled out from Ralf's body, it had then replenished Qin Feng's consciousness that was almost drained out.
Now that the battle had already persisted for an hour, Qin Feng seemed to be heavily wounded. However, Kalinsha had already suffered losses of two A-tier aptitude users, and an unidentified number of B-tier aptitude users!
As soon as Ralf was killed, Qin Feng's urge to kill spiked to another new height!
"Let's try this again!"
While saying so, Qin Feng raised his hand again.
Apocalypse Bloom began channelling once more.
Meanwhile, Kalinsha and the others realized that they were doomed.
They had gotten their taste of the ability, Kalinsha's ring was still heated up by it. Ralf's consciousness was greatly wounded by it, and if it was not because of the ability, Ralf would not have not been so drained out. Qin Feng, then, would not have had the opportunity to secure the kill!
"Ah!!!" Mercer let out an enraged roar as he rushed toward Qin Feng with his tall and sturdy body. He was prepared to launch a suicidal attack and force Qin Feng to stop using the ability.
"Stop him, or else all of you will also die!"
Kalinsha roared.
The remaining five persons sprinted toward Qin Feng while launching their most powerful attack.
However, it was impossible for them to outpace Qin Feng in unleashing his ability. He lifted his palm, and the deadly Apocalypse Bloom rose up full-fledged again.
At that moment, without spatial restrictions, the Apocalypse Bloom was at its full bloom state. Only then the others realized the true capability of the giant bloom, such a horrifying ability!
Meanwhile, all five ability users got close to Qin Feng and unleashed their violent attacks.
With the intense urge to murder in his eyes, Qin Feng seemed to be well-prepared for the moment.
"This will all end now!"
As soon as the Apocalypse Bloom was released, the battle had already ended!
Horrifying darkness fell upon the A-tier aptitude users and shrouded around them!
"Dark Shroud!"
Sight, smell, hearing, and touch, all senses had diminished completely.
There was even a slight blank moment for everyone. Those ancient warriors did not have senses as sharp as the ability users, however, they still noticed the unusual moment and were alerted by it.
They were struggling, and internal strengths were activated to repel against the dark abilities!
Perhaps they only required one or two seconds to escape from the dark ability control, however, as stated by Qin Feng, it was too late!
The descending of the Apocalypse Bloom had already taken place.
A petal landed on Kalinsha's body, and her internal strength shield melted like ice!
The petal looked dimmer in colour, but when it landed onto Kalinsha's body, it was still grey in color. At that moment, bizarre changes had taken place on her body.
It was like Kalinsha had instantly aged for tens of years, her skin became loose, and her youthful look had turned pale and old. She looked like a wrinkly elderly.
Kalinsha was originally an elder, just that her true appearance was finally revealed.
For a woman, it was the cruelest treatment to have.
"Ah ah ah ah!" Kalinsha let out her miserable shrieks. She looked at her own dried out hands, trembling as she touched her cheeks. She could not believe what she was seeing.
The others were also struck by a moment of disbelief.
The youthful person earlier was transformed into an elderly!
Mercer instantly reacted. At that moment, he no longer had the intention to continue his attacks toward Qin Feng, his first reaction was to run away and escape!
If he were to run away from the coverage of the ability, he could at least survive. At most, would he not just forfeit several years from his total life span? His longevity could still be replenished by some supplementary Heavenly Jewels!
However, would Qin Feng allow him to just escape?
"Asteroid Assimilation!"
Qin Feng activated the remaining internal strength that he had.
All five ancient warriors that were surrounding him could no longer control their movements. They were forced to rush toward Qin Feng, their bodies were frozen still by the shield field!
Qin Feng placed his palm on the dantian of two ancient warriors, and internal strength flooded into Qin Feng body, replenishing his own drained out dantian. It was then filled with a plentiful amount of internal strength.
Both A2-tier and A3-tier ancient warriors had five seas of energy, and they contributed fifty pools of internal strength!
Qin Feng changed his target again. Mercer, who was still struggling, began to settle down and remained calm. Wth his physique that was more well-built than Qin Feng's, he wished he could shrink himself into an unidentifiable ball to hide himself.
"General Qin Feng, please let me go, I am willing to offer all of my assets, please let me…"
Qin Feng sneered, the only reaction that he gave was to continue his energy draining!
Another fifty pools of internal strength!
Chapter 731: Massacring a City
Qin Feng pushed Mercer's massive body several meters away, defeating the A-tier ancient warrior.
Qin Feng's internal energy had completely healed by now. Although it was not as powerful as what he had, it was already quite powerful—the amount was almost as big as 150 pools.
Right now, as his murderous intent perked up, Qin Feng leered at Kalinsha.
"Hehe!" Qin Feng smirked, "I don't know if anyone would recognize your face when I'm done with you. But it's alright. There is bound to be someone who would recognize you after they find your dead body anyway."
"Noo!!!"
Kalinsha widened her eyes as she cried out loudly. Then, her internal energy was completely drained away before her head got chopped off.
Thus, Qin Feng had completely slayed all seven A-tier ability users.
He raised his eyes and saw that within hundreds of meters his Apocalypse Bloom had killed dozens of B-tiers in the vicinity. A handful of B-tiers were still alive, yet struggling to keep on living. They were all aged into frail old people, doing their darndest to climb away from the influence of the Apocalypse Bloom.
They still wanted to live!
However, there was no way Qin Feng would allow it. Heh, they surrounded him and tried to kill him. There was no way he would let them live.
Thus, Qin Feng let out a smirk and raised his Verdant Emperor Saber.
Pfft!!
A head was chopped off and rolled on the ground. However, there was no blood bursting out—it seemed that the man was already half-dead, with all his blood dried out before the blade even touched his neck.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Qin Feng strolled on slowly as he waved around his saber, as though he was simply taking a relaxing walk in the garden.
The C-tiers that were looking from the outside were shaking in fear.
Other than the B-tiers, there were even more C-tiers that showed up to surround Qin Feng earlier. However, they kept a distance by using their abilities and long-ranged weapons. If it was not because of Qin Feng's powerful internal energy, he would have been bombarded into a hedgehog by now.
Seeing that their leader was dead, these C-tiers did not dare to stay any longer.
Of course, Qin Feng would not allow that.
"Oh, you want to leave? Where is that big ass energy that you were showing earlier when you surrounded me, hmm?"
Qin Feng smirked and cut down the last surviving B-tier and absorbed his consciousness before walking straight toward the C-tiers. Right now, his presence and power were even more prominent than before.
Well, actually, this was him showcasing his real power—he had been concealing his true power using his dark abilities from the start.
Right now, after he had revealed his dominating presence, the others finally knew just how strong he was.
This man was as strong as a B2-tier beast emperor. From afar, Qin Feng looked like a fearsome, ancient beast!
Seeing this, the C-tiers felt even more terrified than before!
"Split up! If we split up, he can't catch all of us in one shot!"
A C-tier screamed out to the others in desperation. However, as soon as he finished his words, he could feel that Qin Feng's consciousness had locked onto him. In fact, every single C-tier too had felt that they were locked on by Qin Feng.
The C-tier who suggested splitting up quickly turned tail and ran in a different direction. Yet, Qin Feng immediately emerged from his shadows; before he was able to react, Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber had sliced through his waist.
Pfft!!
The C-tier was cut in half almost instantly.
The others, upon seeing this, started running too.
"Ahhh!!! Ruuun!!!"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
"He can't possibly kill all of us. Just keep running!"
They were overwhelmed with panic. Of course, Qin Feng was not going to let them go.
He still had a lot of internal energy reserve. As such, he opted to slice them down one by one without using his abilities. And after being locked on by his consciousness, the C-tiers could never outrun Qin Feng.
"Burning Sword Glare!"
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pffft!
Qin Feng's blade cut down the entire group like a tractor harvesting wheat. In a matter of minutes, the whole place was painted red with their blood—from the lobby to the entrance, and all the way to the town plaza. The C-tiers' excruciating cries could be heard throughout the city.
No one dared to come out and see what was happening. Qin Feng was like a grim reaper, one that every living being feared.
No one was able to escape Qin Feng. Some of the C-tiers even tried to activate their spatial waymarks. However, as they were activating them, they were killed by meteors that fell from the sky!
The entire massacre lasted for three hours.
It was now 4 am. The sky was starting to light up, revealing the bloodshed that was happening under the cloak of night earlier. After checking that there was no one left to kill, Qin Feng smirked and left.
As soon as he left, a huge uproar could be heard from within the city.
The citizens had some idea of what was happening in the night. Yet, they did not know just how severe the situation was.
The owner of the city and every single authority of the Dark Coalition within the Amazon Alliance were slain. Some people within the city and the Amazon Alliance could not sleep the whole night; yet, they did not expect to hear the news.
Many within the Amazon Alliance knew about Kalinsha's plan; they even secretly condoned it.
They thought that Qin Feng would definitely be killed by Kalinsha, seeing that there were seven A-tiers joining the operation.
Yet, they did not expect things to turn out this way.
"How could this be? They had seven A-tiers with them!"
"Dead? What do you mean 'dead'? All of them?!"
"Holy crap! This Qin Feng from the Huaxia Alliance… he's like the devil. We must get rid of him now. If not, how could we and the Amazon Alliance survive within the Human Alliance?"
"But…"
One of them hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do we still have A-tiers to take him on?"
Everyone was stunned after hearing this.
The Amazon Alliance indeed did not have many A-tiers left that could handle this task—they had less than one hundred A-tiers left amongst their ranks. They could not afford to lose any of their remaining A-tiers within their alliance.
Now that Qin Feng had slain nine of them, that meant that they had lost one-tenth of their A-tiers. Besides, all of these A-tiers were members of the Dark Coalition.
"Or perhaps we could ask the S-tiers…"
Before he was able to finish his words, everyone sat down quietly and with defeated looks.
Would an S-tier be willing to do this favor for weaklings like them?
Chapter 732: The Wrath of an S-tier
Nonetheless, they had no choice but to report this to the Dark Coalition's S-tiers.
The Amazon Alliance had lost their S-tier three decades ago. No one knew where he went. Many believed that he was dead.
Thus, in all these years, the Amazon Alliance fell under the control of Devil's Eye. They now answered to Eye Devil—the leader of Devil's Eye. No one knew the real name of Eye Devil. However, they knew that he was a powerful man. And to these people, power was everything; this was why they submitted to him.
Meanwhile, Eye Devil was quite calm after receiving the news.
This man looked quite young—about twenty years of age. He wore a simple, white robe that was decorated with golden flowers. This robe was not any mere robe—it was a god armor.
Eye Devil's body was radiating with light, warming anyone who was standing nearby.
His eyes, however, were completely black in color—he had no sclera at all.
"Alright." Eye Devil replied softly before raising his hand and shooting out a ray of light energy, ripping a dimensional tunnel in the space in front of him.
He did not even bother to activate a spatial waymark—all he did was tear a dimensional tunnel in front of him using his light powers.
Thus, he teleported straight to the Amazon Alliance's headquarters in just one step. Then, he raised his head and looked at the sun that was rising in the sky. A huge eye ball then emerged from the clouds, scanning the entire area as though it was searching for something.
Then, it finally locked onto its target and fired a beam of light.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was meditating in the wild. He had disrobed his Sacred Armor—it was an armor that was made from the pinnacle of technology of the Soul Tribe so it had great self-reparation capabilities. This time, however, it was greatly damaged; so, it would need at least ten days to fully repair itself.
Thus, Qin Feng changed into a normal combat suit and meditated to recover his internal energy.
Suddenly, Qin Feng had an eerie feeling that someone was watching him. At first, it was just an occasional eerie feeling. Then, this feeling got more and more intense.
Qin Feng raised his head and saw a ray of light shining on him, seemingly coming from the sun.
After a short moment of thinking, Qin Feng understood what this meant.
"Ah, Devil's Eye. They have finally come out to the open!"
Then, he could sense that an overwhelming, destructive force was crashing straight at him. It was so powerful that Qin Feng did not think he had any means to counter it.
"Bai Li!"
Qin Feng cried out loudly using his consciousness.
"Spatial Passage! Now! Bring me back now!"
Sensing the urgency in his voice, Bai Li immediately activated her spatial powers.
Although both of them were quite far away from one another, to Bai Li this was just moving from one spatial point to another. As such, moving him from a great distance was not a problem for her.
In an instant, a circle of silver ray emerged from beneath Qin Feng's feet. Then, Qin Feng fell straight into the Spatial Passage that appeared beneath him.
As soon as he got into the Spatial Passage, the powerful light attack landed where he was standing.
Booom!
The attack punctured a massive hole, one that was hundred meters wide, at where Qin Feng was standing earlier.
The hole was so deep that it reached the natural water source under the soil! In a matter of minutes, the hole had turned into a lake.
Eye Devil, on the other hand, was surprised by this turn of events.
The huge eyeball stared at the newly created lake with disbelief. He knew that his attack did not kill Qin Feng earlier despite the great destruction it caused.
This had never happened before. It was quite impossible for an S-tier to miss his target like this.
However, Eye Devil was not going to let his prey go so easily.
The huge eyeball started to look around again.
It was not actually "looking" but rather "locking onto" its target using consciousness.
Thus, Eye Devil was able to "see" that his target had fled all the way to the Huaxia Alliance's turf—to Fengli City!
The eyeball was able to locate Qin Feng in his villa.
Sensing that he had been locked on, Qin Feng's face turned grim.
No way. Was he coming this way?
Qin Feng rushed out of his villa and looked to the skies. And then he saw a ray of light energy darting toward him at great speed.
Bai Li, too, realized what was going on. Her stunningly exquisite face looked serious and grim as she looked at the sky. This was her and Qin Feng's home. She could not allow anyone to harm it.
Thus, Bai Li raised her hand! A plate of silver ray appeared in the sky before morphing into a huge, dark Spatial Tunnel.
As the golden light ray got closer, the whole city was blinded by this overwhelming energy. Then, suddenly, a massive, black "hole" appeared in the air, relieving them from the blinding light.
It took a few seconds for the citizens of Fengli to realize what was going on—they were under attack!
Meanwhile, the golden light ray landed on the Spatial Passage, which absorbed it completely. However, a crack started to form around the black spatial hole. Glitters of light escaped from the crack as it split wider by the second.
Qin Feng, too, raised his hands now, concentrating his consciousness like never before to summon all his dark energy from his Diamond Starglobe. Then…
Burst!
"Dark Flash!"
Although this was just a simple dark ability, Qin Feng knew this was the best method to counter the light attack. All he needed to do was focus all his dark runes and intensify his Dark Flash.
Thus, in an instant, Qin Feng's Dark Flash darted to the air as it rapidly expanded to at least fifty-meter wide.
Crack!!
Bai Li's Spatial Passage had now been completely broken by the light attack—just in time for Dark Flash to rush up to take it on.
Booom!!
A powerful shockwave swept across Fengli City's airspace. The whole city's alarm system was sounded before the city began to shield itself with its barrier.
The shockwave was so powerful that it lasted for a minute.
Eye Devil frowned.
He was an S-tier.
And his attack—an S-tier's attack was blocked twice.
This was, to him, a humiliation.
Thus, he ordered his eyeball to shoot down a third golden ray!
Chapter 733: The Third Attempt Should be the Last
The ray of light was striking swiftly from above; and this time, Qin Feng had no way to defend against it.
He had used up all of his conscious energy earlier—all of his dark rune reserves were all used up. If given enough time, he could recover the runes. However, at this moment, he could not recover quick enough to take on this light attack.
Bai Li's face was as pale as a sheet too. She did not expect that the light attack earlier would be so powerful. The overwhelming attack reminded her of Z.
The attack was an attack from an S-tier.
"Perhaps I could block it with my internal energy."
Qin Feng clenched the Verdant Emperor Saber firmly in his hand, preparing to burst out his internal energy.
Even if he could defend against this attack, Qin Feng knew that this villa that Bai Li loved so much would be leveled to the ground.
It was then everyone could hear a loud roar—one that was like the roar of a dragon! Then, they could see a beam of black light shining from afar; seconds later, the black light morphed into a terrifying black dragon.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng's face turned grim. He had seen this dragon before—it was Z's spirit. Not only that, this black dragon came from Cinderclast City.
So, Z had not left the city yet?
Or maybe he was still doing experiments in his turf again?
Yet, right now Qin Feng could not care about these anymore as the black dragon rose to the sky and swallowed the bright light that was darting at Fengli City.
Then, the dragon flew up straight into the clouds. When it was in the clouds, Qin Feng could sense that Z's spirit had swallowed something mid-air. Then, he seemed to have heard something that was crushed, like a bottle of glass being smashed against a wall. After that, he could not sense Z's presence anymore.
However, that lingering, eerie feeling that he was being watched was also gone!
Realizing this, Qin Feng felt a tremendous weight off his shoulders. When he was finally relaxed, Qin Feng could feel that his entire body was burning with pain.
"Devil's Eye. They're quite good!"
Qin Feng did not expect Z would come to his rescue though.
"Perhaps the man was indeed pulling punches when we butted heads the last time!" Qin Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly to himself. When he fought Z, he had lost two god items in one go! If it was not because of these trump cards, Qin Feng would be a goner the moment Z lifted his finger.
"Yay, the crisis is over!" Bai Li looked at Qin Feng. "So, who's this baddie that was attacking you? I saw a big creepy eyeball in the sky. Ew!"
"It was the Devil's Eye's and Amazon Alliance's S-tier ability user." Qin Feng said, "I thought he was still staying in a different dimension. I didn't think he was already back. I suppose I've indeed pissed them off real good this time, seeing that they asked him to take me down."
Qin Feng then beamed up a cold smirk. Indeed, the Amazon Alliance had good reasons to hate him because he had killed and plundered them so much.
"Thank goodness Z was here… but…"
Qin Feng frowned when he thought about Z.
If there was one person's favor that he did not want to owe, it would be Z's. Moreover, Z was still at Cinderclast City. This very fact too was troubling him.

The huge eyeball that was looking at Fengli City was completely swallowed by the black dragon. Eye Devil's darkened eyes suddenly turned even dimmer than before.
On the surface, it looked like Eye Devil was merely frowning. However, he was already wounded from that dragon's fierce munch.
Eye Devil felt a subtle wariness when he saw that some other powerful champion had shown up to defeat his eyeball. He thought that the Huaxia Alliance would not care if they lost just one mere general.
Still, as the saying goes, "The third attempt should be the last". He had tried to kill Qin Feng three times and he failed all three times. Eye Devil could not help but to admit that this young man was indeed someone unusually capable.
Thus, Eye Devil had lost interest in taking care of this matter anymore and contacted the person who sought his help. "I'm heading back. Leave that boy be. Don't call me again for trivial matters."
"Yes, Sir! Understood, Sir!"
The man wiped off the cold sweat that was rolling down on his forehead while trying to ponder what Eye Devil meant.
"He said 'Leave the boy be'… what does this mean? Does this mean that even the Mr S-tier could not kill this Qin Feng from Huaxia?"
The man jumped after thinking this. Thus, he quickly held an emergency meeting with the other board members in the Amazon Alliance.
Eye Devil did not bother to give Amazon Alliance an explanation. As such, they did not know that Qin Feng had already gone back to Huaxia Alliance. Besides, even if he had gone back to Huaxia; so what? If he wanted to get revenge, he could always use his spatial waymark to come back.
As such, they realized that things had gotten severe.
"No, we can't allow Huaxia's Qin Feng to live. He's too powerful and dangerous to be left alive. If he's allowed to live, he will keep on killing until we are all dead."
"Resources! We can't have our resources be plundered like this. He keeps taking everything wherever he goes! I don't know how he even takes all of them like this!"
"What do we do now?"
"Or… maybe we could plead to have him removed? Let's stop trying to kill him. There's no way we could harm him. Even the A-tiers can't take him on! And even the S-tier doesn't want to put a finger on him…"
"But how do we have him removed?"
After a long brainstorming session, some of them finally had some ideas. Thus, they drafted a complaint letter to the regent of Huaxia's Northern region.
***
At Fengli City, the citizens had now gone back to their day-to-day life, completely forgotten about the crisis.
To them, so long as their governor was still with them, they would be safe.
They did not know just how dangerous the situation was earlier. All they knew was Qin Feng had used his abilities to stop a crisis. As for the "black dragon", they thought it was a secret weapon from the Floating City.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng received a call from Shang Han.
"Qin Feng! What the hell were you doing at the Amazon? They said you have slain the citizens of a whole city! They want you to leave the Amazon Alliance!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was stunned. However, after a quick thought, a smirk beamed up on his face.
"But I was helping them! Sigh. I didn't think they would be so displeased with this."
"Help? You were helping? What's going on here?"
Shang Han had a lot of official matters to handle in her office. As such, she was not caught up with what was happening in the Amazon. Besides, Xu Qing had reported back and said the support mission was already completed on the first day. She even praised Qin Feng's capability back then.
However, she did not think that Qin Feng would stay in the Amazon and then cause such a ruckus.
Qin Feng then told everything to Shang Han; but he did not tell her about Eye Devil's attack. He only explained that he sensed that there was a strong presence helping the Dark Coalition there, keeping intel about Z from her.
After listening to what he had to say, Shang Han was completely speechless.
After a few seconds later, she finally opened her mouth, "So, you're saying that… you've killed nine A-tiers from the Amazon Alliance. And then killed hundreds of their B-tiers and then thousands of their C-tiers??"
Qin Feng let out a dry cough before correcting her, "It's the Amazon's Dark Coalition."
Chapter 734: Ransoming Good Grace
Shang Han was speechless. Even though these were people from the Dark Coalition, sometimes even they could help with taking care of ultra beast problems for the governments. More importantly, these people might actually have someone powerful backing them up.
"Sigh. Fine. Since this S-tier has decided to stop, these people probably would not hunt you down anymore. But you should stop with this nonsensical campaign right now. Don't go to the Amazon Alliance again, you hear me?"
"Of course I won't. Besides, there isn't anyone else that is worth killing there."
It was true. Qin Feng had killed every single powerful criminal that was active in the Amazon. There were still some left but these were quite powerful and cunning—it would take him too much effort to find them. Besides, there was still an S-tier that wanted to take his life over there.
Hearing this, Shang Han rolled her eyes at him. "What? If there's still someone that is 'worth killing', you want to go back there still?"
Qin Feng beamed up a smile. His body gestures seemingly affirmed that he would indeed still go back there to kill these criminal scums.
Shang Han shrugged. "Well, it's best that you stop now. I've told them that I've called you back to base."
Qin Feng nodded. "Certainly. Oh, now that they have a lot of B-tiers slain overnight… their faction would be weakened. It's high time for us to grab more territories between our and their borders. And I would like to have some bonus from this."
"Yeah, don't worry. You'll get your bonus."
Although Shang Han was dumbfounded by what Qin Feng did, she was quite pleased with the results. In general, Qin Feng's actions had brought great benefits to the Huaxia faction.
After hanging up, Shang Han sent some men to the borders to fight for more territories and resources. Qin Feng, on the other hand, asked Bai Li to handle their villa's visitors while he meditated.
Qin Feng had killed a lot of people in the battles in the Amazon. As such, he had accumulated a huge amount of internal energy in his dantian. Out of seven A-tiers that he killed, six of them were ancient warriors. Although he had used up a lot of his internal energy reserve, Qin Feng still had three of these ancient warriors' internal energy in him. And these were about as huge as 150 seas too.
And that was not all.
He had also absorbed over hundreds of B-tiers' powers; and about seventy of them were ancient warriors. Then, there were the C-tiers. About 80% of the seven hundred C-tiers that he had absorbed were ancient warriors too.
In other words, if Qin Feng did not digest these energies soon… his dantian might explode from overloading.
These energies were also the reason Qin Feng kept on killing these Dark Coalition members—he needed a means to release them.
"Asteroid Assimilation… no wonder people consider this is an 'evil' neigong."
Regardless, Qin Feng did not regret learning Asteroid Assimilation.
If it were not for this neigong, Qin Feng would not be able to take on so many ancient warriors.
"Absorb!"
Qin Feng activated his ability and started to absorb these internal energies that were crowding in his dantian.
Perhaps the effort to absorb that took a great deal of effort, Qin Feng's head started to fume with vapors.
After quite some time, he was finally able to separate the energies that he could and could not absorb—he absorbed the former while releasing the latter using his consciousness.
Thus, his internal energy kept on increasing as minutes went by.
One sea of internal energy…. two seas of internal energy… then, more and more energy accumulated in his dantian.
When he was finally done, Qin Feng's dantian now had an increase of 300 seas of internal energy!
Qin Feng opened his eyes and breathed out white, warm vapors.
"If I did not waste too much energy killing these people… I might be able to get a lot more than this. Sigh. Killing seven A-tiers is indeed a difficult feat."
"Still… killing these people isn't as beneficial to me compared to killing ultra beasts. After absorbing so much internal energy from these people, I still haven't reached B3-tier yet! Hmm… still, it's a great way to increase my internal energy… yeah, I should be content with it. It's rare to have such a chance to get three times the amount of internal energy I got like this in one go after all."
Qin Feng walked out of his training room confidently. Yet, when he stepped out of his room, he immediately sensed that something was off.
Qin Feng quickly activated his qinggong and rushed to the living room.
Then, he saw him.
A visitor.
A visitor that he never wanted to see in his home.
Bai Li was sitting next to this visitor in the living room. The latter seemed to be having a good time on the sofa, already treating Qin Feng's villa like his home.
"Hey, little fox. Gimme more of this fruit wine! It's really nice!"
Bai Li rolled an eye at the man. "You've gulped down 8 bottles of these. How are you not dead yet? Actually. Why don't you just die already? So, I can devour you. I bet your flesh can make me a lot stronger than I am right now!"
"Oh, come on. Is this how you treat the person who saved your life?"
"What you're doing is worse! You're ransoming us just because you did something good to us!"
"Sigh. How ungrateful… If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have saved you."
Qin Feng walked toward them as they finished their conversation. He looked at this visitor straight in the eye—it was Z. And as always, Z still looked young and handsome, still had that weary look in his eyes. However, right now, he looked quite relaxed and less daunting than their last encounter.
He then looked at Qin Feng with weird glitters in his eyes.
Qin Feng could not help but feel his body tense up. It was rather uncomfortable to be treated as a "peculiar specimen" by this mad scientist.
"Damn, boi! If I haven't seen it myself, I wouldn't believe it. You could actually grow so strong in just half a year. I'm starting to regret that I gave you 3 years before trying to acquire you again!"
Qin Feng was able to ascend from C4-tier to B2-tier in 6 months. If given a little more time, he would have reached A-tier too.
Right now, Qin Feng's potential was rather promising—in fact, if he reached A-tier, he might actually be able to take on an S-tier!
By then, would Z be able to have his way with Qin Feng? It might actually be a challenge to do so.
Qin Feng frowned as he sat next to Bai Li. He patted on her shoulder, trying to calm the white fox down.
"How can I help you, Mr Z?"
"What? Would it hurt you to say 'thank you for saving my life'?"
Qin Feng smirked. "Your organization almost killed me back then. So, now that you saved my life, how about we call it even?"
Even though his grudge was from before he was reborn, Qin Feng could not help but still feel bitter about it.
Z did not bother to check whether Qin Feng was telling the truth and continued on chatting, "A grudge is a grudge. A favor is a favor. They are two separate matters. Now, perhaps you would like to return the favor I did for you first, then seek revenge from me? Hmm? It's fairer this way."
Qin Feng smirked. "Sure. Tell me what you want. But I have the right to refuse!"
Chapter 735: Your Greed Knows No Bound
It was not like Qin Feng did not want to repay the favor. However, it had to be at least within his capability. Most importantly, Z was simply too dangerous. Qin Feng probably would not accept whatever Z was going to demand from him.
"After bringing back the Cinder Pine from your place the last time, I had another breakthrough in my study. The success rate of mutation has increased by a lot now. It will definitely suit you!"
"Don't ever think about it." Qin Feng's face looked bleak. As he expected, nothing good would come out of Z's mouth.
Z's expression did not change after being rejected. He continued to ask, "Then, why don't you give me some of your blood? I can create a clone easily from that."
Qin Feng sneered, "Do you think the clone you make would have the same physique as mine? How could a clone bear your vicious injection? Besides, what makes you think I would give you such an important sample?"
It would be easy to clone a commoner. However, it was a different story when it came to awakened users. Ability users and ancient warriors had different genetic and cellular make-up as compared to normal people. They could not be cloned using the normal means, and the clone would be soulless. These clones would need the originals to imbue part of their consciousness for them to become truly alive.
As such, Z was not only asking for Qin Feng's blood but also part of his conscious energy.
"No to this, no to that. I don't think you are being sincere at all." Z snorted.
"At least ask for something that I can really do. Anything about my body is out of the discussion."
Z nodded and said, "Alright. How about this? Since you could handle a B-tier Cinder Pine previously, I bet you can do the same against an A-tier now that you have grown stronger. I want ten essence cores from an A-tier Cinder Pine."
Qin Feng rounded his eyes. 'This man's greediness knows no bounds!'
"Don't tell me you can't do even such a small favor. If so, 100 B-tier beast emperor Cinder Pines would do, too."
Qin Feng's grim face almost turned into a helpless laugh.
"Z, are you going to wait for me here forever until I get you the essences?"
'100 B-tier beast emperor? Why doesn't he go annihilate the entire Cinder Region?'
"Come on. I am just maximizing my leverage here. The items I requested would only cost you at most 500 trillion. Am I, an S-tire, not worth that amount?"
Qin Feng sneered, "Not at all. I can only promise you 10."
"That wouldn't cut it. At least 90!"
"20!"
"80!"
"You are talking as if the essence would grow like cabbage. Thirty is all I can give you."
"You can use A-tier essence to compensate. Seventy is my minimum!"
They went back and forth and could not come to terms. Qin Feng did not want to give in too much and refused to back down when the number reached forty.
Forty Cinder Pine's essences were equal to the value of a B-tier beast emperor ability core, which was roughly 200 trillion.
Of course, any problem that could be solved by using money was not a problem from Qin Feng's perspective.
Still, this would be a laborious task.
Though a lot of B-tiers had visited the Cinderclast Dimension, not many had successfully killed a Cinder Pine other than the immature ones.
In the end, Qin Feng would need to deal with the matter himself but he was rather occupied at the moment.
"I have things to do right now. I will deliver the essence to you once I am done with it."
"Okay. My experiment can still run for another month. I hope to get the things within a month."
"Are you kidding me? The monsters are not standing there waiting to be killed. A month? I can only give you one per month. That's more likely." Qin Feng said.
"Alright, alright! One per month it is."
Qin Feng said again, "You will receive the first core two months from now."
"Now you are getting ahead of yourself. It's too long for me to wait." Z then changed the topic. "But, from what I heard, you killed a monster called Glutton Leviathan in the East Sea not long ago. I believe you still have the flesh of the monster? Give me some and I will tolerate the two months delay."
Qin Feng's face could not be grimmer. He knew Z had him cornered.
"Fine!" Qin Feng said the word grudgingly. He swore he would hang Z up and bash him one day.
Then, Qin Feng added Z's communicator contact. This was the first time Qin Feng had added an S-tier, and he never thought it would be the number of his nemesis. How ironic!
"Okay. Now that we are done, you should get going." Qin Feng wanted Z to leave after handing him some of the Glutton's flesh.
"Haha, enough with your hostility. My research is advancing at lightspeed now. Feel free to find me once you think it through." Z left after leaving those words.
Qin Feng's face contorted into a grimace. Z was right. In Qin Feng's memory, the human experiment of mutation had indeed grown rampant around this period.
He wondered how the future would look like this time, especially with the presence of the Cinderclast Dimension and him providing the research materials to Z.
Against someone as powerful as Z, Qin Feng could only comply for the time being so that Z would not oppress him. He still did not have enough strength to defy Z.
But Qin Feng believed such a stance would not last forever.
"What a terrible guy. Why did he order us around when he could do that easily by himself?" Bai Li complained sullenly.
Qin Feng sighed. "It's normal. True, he may be powerful enough to get things done with little effort. In fact, I believe the reason he appeared in Cinderclast City is that he has just visited the Cinderclast Dimension.
The Cinderclast Dimension was vast, yet the number of Cinder Pine was relatively scarce. One would need to spend a lot of time searching for a high-tier Cinder Pine.
"To an S-tier, rather than wasting his own time doing such laborious work, it's better to let someone else do it for them."
That was probably what Z was thinking when he willingly helped Qin Feng to deter Eye Devil.
Qin Feng had seen through Z's intention when the latter first brought up hunting out of the blue.
"No matter what, it's best not to owe him a favor. Otherwise, it would be hard to take him down in the future," Qin Feng said.
"I see. But humans always say that there's never a forever enemy and benefit is always on top of everything. It seems that you, too, have things that you couldn't let go of."
Qin Feng rubbed Bai Li's forehead and said, "I will talk about profit when I am on the same level with him. Right now, I have zero ground to negotiate."
Bai Li gave it a thought and nodded. "I understand."
Of course, Qin Feng could collaborate with Z now. However, Z could easily manipulate him judging by the disproportion of their power. It was better to maintain the relationship as it was.
They did not waste any time further on this topic. After all, Z was gone and the terms were set. All Qin Feng had to do was hunt the Cinder Pines and return the favor.
He had no time to worry about it just yet.
Qin Feng switched on the communicator and contacted Xue Xingfu.
"It's time for you to report on the progress."
