Chapter 277: The D-tier Elder's Troop

Xue Linhan examined Zhang Wen's video again which showed the same automated scene over and over. Qin Feng's silhouette was faint, and he could just barely identify him as the person who had killed Xue Yuan. There was nothing much he could see in the video.

"Scum, scum, scum!"

Now with his son dead, Xue Linhan was more furious than ever.

Xue Linhan was part of the first generation of homicidal maniacs. While watching the scene, he had the urge to rush out to find the person in the video and crush him into millions of pieces.

"Thirteenth Elder, Seventh Elder wants you in the main hall!"

Xue Linhan understood that this was a message which was received by everyone. He contained his anger as he strode out.

Soon, he had arrived at a large, old house.

This main hall was also a meeting ground for the Xue family to discuss important matters.

"Here comes the Thirteenth!" All of the elders were sitting on their designated positions, and they were all in a bad mood.

Xue Yuan had a very high position in the Xue family.

He was destined to become an A-tier aptitude user in the future who could lead the Xue family out of the Four Cities of the North Sea. It was evident that he was very strong and capable, and after his awakening at the age of sixteen, he had never once disappointed the family.

He was the first generation of youth in the Xue family.

How could they not be furious when such a prodigy had been killed?

"Seventh Elder, I want to leave the village to avenge my son's death!" Xue Linhan exclaimed.

It was impossible to suppress his anger which was already at its peak.

"It's easy for you to say. Zhang Wen was quite strong as well, yet he still suffered a quick death. If you go there yourself, wouldn't that be a suicide mission too?" The Seventh Elder raged.

"Are we just going to let it go? And let Xiao Yuan die in vain?"

Xue Linhan looked at the people around him with bloodshot eyes.

Some of them were staring blankly, while others averted their gazes, not daring to meet Xue Linhan's gaze.

After all, the strength Qin Feng had displayed was not weak.

The Seventh Elder, who was now presiding over the situation, finally spoke up to appease the tension in the hall. "I didn't say that we would give up on revenge, but as a part of the Xue family, he wouldn't hesitate to kill us either!"

The Fifth Elder beside him also spoke up, "Alright, let's say we'll take revenge, do you know where this man is now?"

This time, Xue Linhan was silent. He certainly did not know where he was.

Not only that, the person who had killed Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen was in disguise, and he could easily escape just by removing the disguise!

This was clearly carefully planned out.

"Don't worry, Thirteenth!" The Fifth Elder said while waving his bony arms.

A young man from the seventh generation stepped forward and showed Xue Linhan his communicator.

"Look at this!"

Xue Linhan took one look, and his eyes flared with anger again.

"He's provoking us!"

"And he's plotting on us!" The Seventh Elder exclaimed. "He could have just walked away after killing Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen without exposing his identity, yet he went to the Bounty Hunter Network to register his identity. I'm afraid he's waiting for us to find and kill him. He's either being too overconfident or he has someone to back him up!"

Xue Linhan did not say anything but it was clear that he was not listening to whatever the Seventh Elder was saying.

So what if it were a conspiracy?

Xue Linhan was counting on his son to grow up so that he could live a good life in the future!

And now? Now, it was all over!

"I don't care if it were a conspiracy or a plot, he better not let me find out who he is or who did it. Even if he's from one of the other three ancient warrior families, if they dare to kill my son, I'll kill their children and grandchildren in the worst possible way they can ever imagine!"

There were four ancient warrior families in the Four Cities of the Northern Sea. Besides the Xue family, there were the Yang family, Tieh family and Hou family.

The Northern Sea was a place with remarkable, talented individuals, all of whom would try to conceal their true capabilities. It was a stretch for Xue Linhan to say those words.

However, their family was already involved in the Dark Coalition, and they were not surprised by Xue Linhan's words.

"I understand that, so this time, I'll go with you!" said the Fifth Elder.

The Fifth Elder was called Xue Yuheng, he was the fifth-generation disciple of the Xue family. He was already sixty-three years old, but he looked as if he was in his seventies or eighties, all because of the injuries his body had suffered in his early years.

Although weakened, he was still stronger than most people. After all, he still had the capabilities of an E-tier aptitude user. With him deployed, their plan would work much better.

Xue Linhan felt a jolt of happiness in his heart.

"Thank you, uncle. You'll help us to avenge Xiao Yuan's death!"

"Don't worry, those who provoked the Xue family will not be left alive!"

The Seventh Elder gave up in his persuasion. It seemed that their plan for revenge had been set in motion.

Soon, the Xue family had assembled their troops. With the mobilization of the D-tier ancient warriors, the troops that followed was inevitably a rather strong one. As one of the ancient warrior families, the Xue family was even more particular with their troops.

In total, there were more than twenty young warriors, all of whom were F-tier aptitude users, followed by three more E-tier aptitude users. The troops boarded seven to eight luxurious hover cars and headed toward Hanchuankou.

In fact, they already had eyes in Hanchuankou, and they even used force to pressure the colony to hand over their people to obtain information about Bloodhunter's location.

What they did not expect was that Bloodhunter had yet to leave!

***

Qin Feng had no intention of leaving.

He strolled through the displayed cars for two hours. Some people were even throwing strange looks at him.

These people either found Qin Feng's outfit odd, or were the ones that were ordered to spy on him.

Qin Feng did not bat an eye at them as he already had his gaze fixed on a car!

"Silver Bolt?"

The extended car body had a very comfortable interior and a very spacious rear compartment.

It was priced at 30 million!

This newly-released model had a whole bunch of functions that were highly praised by the salesman.

Having ten years of experience before his rebirth, Qin Feng knew what was best for a car, and the Silver Bolt was considered as a classic model!

"I'll take this!" Qin Feng said.

"Oh, oh yes, Sir. Please wait a moment!"

The man led Qin Feng to the checkout counter, and after making the payment, the Silver Bolt became Qin Feng's new car.

He could not bring out the Umbra Stallion or the extended version of his luxurious hover car, or else it could expose his identity.

And now, there was no need for him to worry about that anymore.

Once Qin Feng got in the car, he revved it up and drove toward the city.

At the same time, he saw many people holding up their communicators and filming his new car.

Qin Feng drove the car toward the northern city gate and Hanchuankou slowly disappeared from his view. He was driving toward the direction of the Battlegod Tomb. However, his speed was not that fast.

Half an hour later, Qin Feng saw more than ten cars speeding by in the middle of the wilderness.

There was a bloodied palm on the rear side of these cars.

These ancient warrior families would always come in groups. Each time the young members were killed, the elders would seek revenge.

It was just that Qin Feng did not know who was coming this time.

Qin Feng slowed down his car, but the cars on the other side of the road accelerated toward him. Soon, Silver Bolt was completely surrounded.

On the road, it seemed that even the ultra beasts were affected by the dense atmosphere and did not dare to appear. They had all retreated to their safe spots.

"Hmph" Qin Feng smirked as he stepped out of his car.

At the same time, the others had also stepped out of their cars, all of them surrounding the Silver Bolt.

All of them were dressed in what seemed to be unified outfits. In the cool early days of winter, the undertones of reds and blacks on their outfits glimmered and exuded dominance.

Chapter 278: A Brief Exchange of Attacks

These people who were ordered to hunt him down first were the young generation of the Xue family.

They looked at Qin Feng with a glare that was full of appraisal, scrutiny and excitement. It was as if this time they were ordered to teach him a lesson!

In fact, these young men were happy that Xue Yuan was murdered. Or else, they would never have the chance to make a debut for themselves.

Too bad this person was going to die.

As such, there was a hint of pity laced with apparent glee in their expressions!

"Just you guys?" Qin Feng lowered his tone and said in a hoarse voice.

With just a wave of his hand, he placed the Silver Bolt into the spatial rune equipment that he was carrying. There was no way he would let his newly-bought car be damaged.

Even though it was just a wave of his hand, those young men's eyes were shining with admiration.

To fit a car as large as the Silver Bolt, the spatial space must be at least twenty cubic metres.

It would require at least 100 million to possess such spatial equipment.

For these young men, that was a very high price!

Even the F-tier aptitude users were getting a bit flustered.

Creak!

The car door of the most luxurious and domineering hover car opened up, and the young men's faces were replaced with a more respectful look.

Three middle-aged men stepped out of the car, all of whom were E-tier ancient warriors.

Then, an old man alighted from the car as well!

Qin Feng's pupils narrowed behind his mask.

"I didn't think that the Xue family would actually send an elder!"

Qin Feng immediately recognized him as Xue Yuheng.

He seemed like a weak, dying old man. Before Qin Feng was reborn, he was aided by Xue Yuan to heal the injuries on his body, thus further enhancing his strength and allowing him to reach C-tier, which then helped him to make a name for himself in the Northern Sea region.

Xue Yuheng was a vicious killer, and his methods were not at all inferior to Xue Yuan's.

Or rather, there was not a single decent person in the entire Xue family.

After all, their family practiced Sanguine Palm Arts, which required fresh blood. They had massacred countless ultra beasts and were very tough. Moreover, they would abduct any ordinary civilians that they wanted.

In the eyes of this ancient warrior family that had fallen into the depths of madness, the ordinary civilians were incomparable to them. They were of a different kind, and they did not even consider these ordinary civilians as human beings.

They were considered slaves, goods and sheep to be slaughtered.

When Qin Feng thought of this, his eyes were immediately filled with murderous intent. His eyes swept through these young men one more time, it appeared that the few he had killed before his rebirth seemed to be here as well.

Now, they had finally crossed paths again!

Of course, this was yet another bloodbath, and only one person would survive in the end.

And that person would be Qin Feng.

At the same time, Xue Yuheng was also examining Qin Feng.

"How dare you lay a finger on the Xue family! Bring me the one behind all this, and I might leave your body intact!"

However, Qin Feng smiled defiantly.

"The one behind all this? I'm afraid I would have to disappoint you, I simply wanted to kill your people, and so I did!"

To Qin Feng who had gone through rebirth, there were tens and thousands of reasons for him to kill the Xue family.

It was only that in the present he had yet crossed paths with the Xue family.

But so what if that were the case?

There need not be so many reasons to kill them.

"Good, good! Boy, today I'll avenge my son's death, be prepared to die!" Xue Linhan could no longer contain his fury and was the first person to lash out. He dashed toward Qin Feng.

He was indeed stronger than Zhang Wen, but he was still too weak when compared to Qin Feng!

Now, Qin Feng was invincible even when compared with enemies of the same tier.

He had the physical strength of a beast king, and his inner cloud had reached the 35th layer through his last training.

And his strength was four times more that of Xue Linhan's!

For that, there was no way Xue Linhan could defeat Qin Feng.

In a flash, Qin Feng unleashed his internal force and made his first move.

Phantom Motion Steps!

For a moment, Qin Feng's shadow was so heavy and dense that no one could see where Qin Feng's physical body actually was.

Qin Feng infused his dagger with internal force and stabbed Xue Linhan's heart from the back.

"Scram!"

The old Xue Yuheng suddenly let out a roar and rushed forward.

With a false step, he immediately moved forward and shot out his bony arms to shield Xue Linhan from the back.

Qin Feng was at the exact same position at the same time.

He raised his arm holding the dagger and was going to chop off Xue Yuheng's arms.

Xue Yuheng changed his stance at once and slapped Qin Feng's arm with his palms.

Qin Feng retracted his arm and struck him with his elbow. He concealed the dagger and was ready to stab at any moment!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The two made quick counters.

"Ah!" Xue Yuheng screamed as Qin Feng's arm was raised and ready to strike again. While Qin Feng and Xue Yuheng were exchanging blows, Qin Feng's right arm was striking at Xue Linhan again.

Xue Yuheng interrupted his backstab once, but this time it happened right under his nose, and yet there was no way he could stop it!

"B*stard!"

Xue Yuheng was furious. His old face was trembling with anger as it made a terrifying expression.

Qin Feng was unfazed and he used Phantom Motion Steps again.

When coupled with the powerful dark rune, his Phantom Motion Step became a powerful technique.

"Damn it, this ancient warrior has enhanced his Phantom Motion Steps. He's just way too strong and his skills are just out of this world!"

"Thirteenth Elder, let me help you!"

"Watch out Fifth Uncle!"

The three remaining ancient warriors stepped into the battlefield.

"Sanguine Palm Arts!"

"Inferno Blood Secret Art!"

The four of them fought all at once!

It was difficult to fight with two fists against four hands!

"Hmph!"

Qin Feng sneered and put his hand into his pocket, and in the next moment, Qin Feng tossed out a white mass.

It was Bai Li.

Bai Li made a few tumbles in the air and landed on top of a car. Her three tails wagged and curved into flattering arcs which could capture one's heart. She was clearly a cute adorable pet.

However, everyone's gazes quickly shifted back to the battlefield.

With Bai Li now summoned, Qin Feng's attacks had become much stronger.

"Blood Transformation!" One of the E-tier aptitude users slapped Qin Feng on the chest.

Qin Feng's F-tier beast king combat suit began to emit a silvery glow, then the glow seemed to have been shattered by the solid slap attack!

A success!

A trace of joy flashed in the man's eyes, but the joy quickly turned into shock.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Qin Feng's body became a powerful vacuum with a huge suction force. The man could not move his hand after landing his palm attack on Qin Feng's chest, and he began to feel a backflow of his internal force.

Qin Feng quickly sliced and stabbed with his dagger.

Swish swish swish!

With three cuts and six stabs, the dagger had gutted the insides of the warrior's abdomen!

His intestines were all churned into mush, and the internal strength of his dantian was completely drained away!

"Argh!" The man hastily retreated, but he had been stabbed too many times in just a short amount of time, and blood was gushing out of his wounds. He then collapsed on the ground.

"Deacon Wang!"

"How is that possible!"

The Xue family was shocked and everyone was staring with terrified gazes.

In such a short battle, Qin Feng had yet to display any of his techniques. He only relied on his strong body and dense internal force, yet he still managed to cripple one of Xue Linhan's arms and had taken away the life of E-tier deacon, Wang.

With such power and strength, it was simply too overwhelming for them.

"Everyone, stand down! Retreat!"

Xue Yuheng finally noticed that something was wrong!

Although the person in front of him was only E-tier, his internal force was incredibly thick and dense. He was in no way any weaker than him.

"Looks like you came prepared!" Xue Yuheng said in a deep tone.

Qin Feng smirked. "It's never too late for a man to get his revenge, and as for the Xue family, sooner or later, your day will come!"

Before Qin Feng's rebirth, he died before he could get his revenge.

And now, it was the perfect timing for revenge!

And it was just a matter of time!

Chapter 279: The Inferno Blood Technique that Rejuvenates the Aged

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xue Yuheng's face was pale.

The Xue family had roamed the Four Cities of the Northern Sea for years, so undoubtedly they would have enemies.

They had faced a lot of enemies in the past and had even tried to eliminate them all from the roots, it was possible that they had left out a few.

Xue Yuheng did not know who Qin Feng was, and he had no intentions of getting to know him.

All he knew was that Qin Feng was their enemy!

People of the Xue family retreated after hearing Xue Yuheng's orders.

The only person who did not retreat was an E-tier deacon, and even Xue Linhan knew that Qin Feng was not a person to be messed with.

However, Qin Feng's eyes were locked onto him.

"Didn't you want to avenge your son's death? Why chicken out now?" Qin Feng said in a cold, sarcastic tone.

Xue Linhan's eyes were bloodshot red, but he knew that he was no match for Qin Feng after having his arm removed, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Now, he could only rely on Xue Yuheng to finish the job.

"I can't believe that after all these years, I still have to personally come out to clean up the mess!" Xue Yuheng said.

Qin Feng fixated his gaze on Xue Yuheng.

The others were fifty meters away from them, they were all clearly excited.

Aptitude users could be taught and cultivated, and they could also gain knowledge and experience from watching two advanced aptitude users fight.

Here, it was evident who the true ancient warriors were.

The skilled warriors were not afraid to display their skills, and whatever they do, the crowd would still be enthralled by their skills.

Qin Feng was also somewhat looking forward to the battle at this point.

If Xue Yuheng was an ability user or a gunner, Qin Feng would definitely turn around and run.

But on the contrary, he was just an ancient warrior. Qin Feng was not afraid and his expression revealed a hint of anticipation.

The more powerful the enemy was, the more powerful the internal force he could absorb after killing him.

"Inferno Blood!"

Two words were firmly spat out from Xue Yuheng's mouth.

As soon as the words were heard, Xue Yuheng's appearance changed drastically.

He was originally an old man in his seventies or eighties with a hunched back. Now, his back was slowly straightening, and his old, wrinkly body was starting to gain some weight.

His hair became dense and was as dark as ink, and his loose wrinkly skin firmed up and became smooth. The dark age spots on his face gradually faded, and the color of his skin changed from aged yellow to tender white.

In just the blink of an eye, it was like time had reversed his body to how he looked like almost sixty years ago.

Xue Yuheng's appearance had turned into a twenty-year-old youth. With just a glance, it was surprising to see that he looked even younger than Xue Yuan, but his eyes still had the same calm composure.

His once baggy clothes seemed to have been filled up by his muscular body, and his posture was now upright. He looked handsome and charming.

The Inferno Blood Secret Art had drastically improved his vitality and reversed his aging, returning him to his youthful self.

Even Qin Feng could sense that there was a major difference between Xue Yuheng's D-tier aptitude strength from then and now.

"You gave me no choice but to use Inferno Blood Art, do you have any idea what kind of price you'll have to pay?"

Qin Feng did not reply.

"Today, everyone from your colony will die! And it's all because of you!" Xue Yuheng continued indifferently.

If Qin Feng were an ordinary person, he would definitely feel the pressure increasing after hearing those words.

Xue Yuheng was indeed a cunning old man.

Before engaging in a battle, it was important to have a calm state of mind.

"I know that is the Xue family's Inferno Blood Art. The younger you want to become, the more fresh blood you require, but don't get too cocky just yet." Speaking of youth, even if Xue Yuheng had reversed his age, he was still not as young as Qin Feng.

Being in his prime, Qin Feng's body was strengthened to the utmost tier, and he was in no way weaker than Xue Yuheng.

"Hehehe, then I'll let you witness the destruction of your colony with your very own eyes. You'll be responsible for their deaths, and you will die amidst guilt!"

This seemed to be the kind of theatrics that the Dark Coalition was all too fond of.

All of them loved to disrupt the world's justice, peace and order. Moreover, they also liked to use guilt to put those heroes under great pressure which would eventually make them go insane.

But all those tactics did not work well on Qin Feng.

"There's no need for so much crap when clearly the person that's going to die is not me!"

Qin Feng spoke with unparalleled confidence.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew!" Xue Yuheng roared, and in the next moment, a huge internal force vortex formed around him.

The vortex was like a low-pressure atmosphere, making the surrounding people gasp for more air.

With his internal energy fused into one, transparent water ripples formed around him.

D-tier ancient warriors were worlds apart from E-tier ancient warriors.

He turned his internal energy into liquid, forming it into water droplets.

Condensing his aura to liquid was a complete change in state of matter.

The members of the Xue family that were fifty meters away could hardly breathe and unconsciously backed away. Some of them were even pushed onto the ground by the tremendous air pressure.

Qin Feng began to unleash his internal force around himself to protect his body.

The internal force that had enveloped his body formed into a whirlpool, but when compared to Xue Yuheng's, his was white and seemed to appear like a mist.

Xue Yuheng cackled.

"There's no need to push yourself so hard if you're not strong enough. You're releasing your internal force now, and soon it will deplete in no time without needing me to give you a good beating. Are you planning to surrender without a fight?"

"Then, we'll see whose internal force will deplete first!"

Xue Yuheng had suffered injuries in his early years which had obstructed his D-tier strength from reaching D1-tier!

From E-tier to D-tier, ten layers of the sea of clouds' internal force in the dantian could be turned into a pool of internal force water, and what Xue Yuheng now had was a pool of internal strength.

However, Qin Feng had thirty five layers of sea of clouds, which was incomparable since it was three times of what the other party had.

Neither of them showed signs of backing away, and in the next moment they were both dashing toward each other.

The internal force exuding from their bodies had been stirred into a mass and formed into an energy wave that was spreading outward!

Boom!

The hover cars around the two of them were all blasted a meter away, and even the steel plates were deformed!

It was just a mere clash between two internal forces.

Boom boom boom!

The two began with their attacks.

"Sanguine Palm Art!"

A powerful palm slapped through Qin Feng's shadow. Xue Yuheng channelled his internal force through his huge palm, which was then directly slapped onto the highway.

The ground was smashed with a two-meter large crater.

Whoosh!

Qin Feng appeared behind Xue Yuheng with his sharp dagger pierced into his internal force layer.

Creak!

A sharp sound pierced the air, and the two internal forces collided with one another.

"Die!" Xue Yuheng countered with a strike that was blazingly fast.

Xue Yuheng's strength had indeed increased in astronomical levels.

During his previous battle with Qin Feng, his moves were calm and composed, but his attacks were vicious and powerful. Yet, he still had not landed a single blow on Qin Feng.

Having his younger self back, Xue Yuheng was clearly excited and he fought with exhilaration.

His speed had dramatically increased, and he finally landed a blow on Qin Feng.

Bam!

Swish!

Qin Feng received a palm blow on his shoulder, and the shoulder part of his battle suit instantly dimmed and was damaged. Although no one could really see it, there seemed to be a scraped mark on his physical body.

Xue Yuheng's hair fluttered in the wind after being cut off by Qin Feng. A tiny wound appeared on his cheek, with a trace of blood dripping out.

Both of them had now changed positions.

The corner of Xue Yuheng's lips twitched. He raised his hand to wipe off the trace of blood on his cheek, and his hand was immediately stained with blood.

His appearance became hideous and dangerous.

"You are knocking on death's door!"

Xue Yuheng pounced at Qing Feng like a provoked, rabid dog.

Chapter 280: The Highway Showdown

The battle between Xue Yuheng and Qin Feng was intense.

The highway they were on was not far from the entrance of Hanchuankou, and on the highway, the tremendous pressure of their internal force could be felt from miles away. The oncoming caravans came to a halt as the passengers were too frightened to go any further!

Who the hell were they? Were they having a mighty duel?

However, the fight between the duellers was getting more and more intense.

Qin Feng's internal strength was not weak, but his moves were clearly at a disadvantage.

"Die!" Xue Yuheng swung his fleshy palms in mad pursuit of Qin Feng. Qin Feng had received many palm blows, but what made Xue Yuheng even more furious was that Qin Feng was unfazed by the attacks.

Could it be that his Sanguine Palm Arts had lost its effect?

Or maybe his enemy had found some way to subdue the attacks' effects?

Xue Yuheng had no choice but to give in his everything.

The entire highway was caved in, and the hover cars that surrounded them were destroyed beyond recognition.

"Pressure Point Strike!" Xue Yuheng suddenly changed his attacking style and struck his finger at Qin Feng with lightning speed.

He channelled his internal strength into his hand and condensed it at the fingertips. With immense power, he instantly struck his finger on Qin Feng's shoulder.

Qin Feng's body was wounded but they were merely light scratches on his skin. However, this time, the finger strike had caused him to not be able to move his entire body.

This was an advanced ancient warrior technique used to block meridian points of the body. This was more commonly known as the Touch of Death.

This technique was a lost art, and it was even more unlikely to have the same effect as told from the legends before the end of the world. It was said that with just a blow, the person would not be able to move for a very long time.

Qin Feng felt that the qi and blood circulation within his body were obstructed, and his meridians were instantly cut off from flowing, causing his internal force to go awry and his body to stiffen.

But yet, the effect was just a fraction of a second and not even the blink of an eye.

The effect of his devouring ability was clear at this moment.

Qin Feng's meridians were tough and wide, they were not something that could be easily attacked.

It was just that he was slightly caught off guard by his opponent's highly advanced attack.

Xue Yuheng grimaced as he raised his palm and aimed at the crown of Qin Feng's skull.

As long as he was able to land the slap, Qin Feng would definitely die.

Even when it was a moment of life and death, Qin Feng was still extremely composed, but the color of his eyes was even darker.

Whoosh!

The same black line appeared directly from Qin Feng's eyebrow and landed on Xue Yuheng's skull!

Xue Yuheng's vision instantly went black and he lost all five senses, he became hesitant of his attack. Even though it was only just a few milliseconds, he was still on par with Qin Feng when Qin Feng had been hurt.

Qin Feng instantly leaped backward.

With his many years of experience, Xue Yuheng slapped once again.

Only this time, his palm missed Qin Feng, and the ground where Qin Feng was before was instantly enveloped by a deadly aura. A humongous crate was formed on the ground.

Swish!

Qin Feng appeared behind Xue Yuheng, his dagger was ready to stab.

With his keen senses, Xue Yuheng felt the murderous aura coming from behind him and he frantically pushed out his internal force.

His internal force boiled and burst out in a qi wave.

"Hmph!" Qin Feng sneered as he released his internal force at the same time. This time, he amplified his internal strength even more.

Boom!

Their internal forces clashed against each other, emitting an explosion.

Qin Feng continued to stab with his dagger. This time, he struck his opponent right on the spine.

Xue Yuheng was sent flying and was blasted four or five meters away. His motionless body tumbled and rolled on the ground four or five times before it came to a halt.

"Ahh!"

"Fifth Elder, look out!"

"Fifth Grandpa!"

Those who were watching the battle from afar did not expect the fight to go this way. They could not believe that Xue Yuheng was actually sent flying.

There was no way Qin Feng would spare his opponent that easily. He advanced toward his opponent again.

Xue Yuheng came back to his senses, he used his internal energy to dispel the runes.

"What kind of attack is this?"

Xue Yuheng was a little perplexed.

Qin Feng hooked his lips and smiled.

"An attack that will finish you off!"

Qin Feng would not engage in any gentleman's duel etiquettes or rules with Xue Yuheng. Before this, he only used ancient warrior fighting styles and kept his final move as his trump card, but he did not expect Xue Yuheng to actually use his special move. Hence, he figured that he should not hold back either.

It did not matter how he won, as long as he was able to kill his opponent, no one would care about the result.

The winner would triumph!

Qin Feng quickly chased after Xue Yuheng.

Xue Yuheng slapped the ground with one hand and dodged his attack.

This time, a black light rushed toward him once again.

He dared not accept his inevitable fate but the light was now only an inch away from him!

"Pressure Point Strike!"

Having expended a huge amount of internal force, he sent out another finger as the two clashed against one another.

Boom!

The deafening explosion almost shattered their eardrums.

The bloody mist and black light exploded upon contact.

Xue Yuheng was left breathing heavily. The two consecutive Pressure Point Strikes had consumed too much of his internal force but he had to do it to defend himself.

In just the blink of an eye, Qin Feng sent out another ripple of dark light.

Xue Yuheng finally figured out the attack and was truly shocked.

"Dark Ability!"

This was not even a move at all!

"Unfortunately, it is already too late even though you have figured it out!" Qin Feng said as the light struck Xue Yuheng, causing him to lose his sight.

Xue Yuheng tried to dodge but he had lost all five senses, and he had no idea which direction he was facing.

Even if it was just a fraction of a second, it was enough for Qin Feng to approach him.

Qin Feng stabbed Xue Yuheng with his dagger again.

Their internal forces clashed once again.

Boom!

Xue Yuheng was blasted backward for over several meters. This time, the injuries he sustained were deadlier than before.

"Ugh!" Xue Yuheng spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood began to flow out of his chest. Not only that, his back was also stained with blood after being stabbed by Qin Feng.

Age began to show on Xue Yuheng's face. His youthful appearance became more middle-age looking now as wrinkles started to show and his skin began to sag.

Due to the injuries he had suffered, the effects of the Inferno Blood Art were starting to fade away.

Qin Feng would not give his opponent the time to rest. He dashed forward again and kicked Xue Yuheng right on the neck.

If the kick were to land successfully, Xue Yuheng would surely die.

"Stop!"

An explosive voice rang out. It was one of the capable deacons left in the Xue family who suddenly burst into attack.

He shouted for Qin Feng to stop but he himself was not planning to stop as he tried to slap Qin Feng with his palm.

However, his slap did not even go through Qin Feng's internal force.

"Scram!"

With a slight tremble of his periphery, Qin Feng expanded his internal force, instantly knocking the man out as his body smashed into the front of the Xue family's most luxurious car.

Bang!

The aptitude user groaned in pain, he felt that his organs were messed up from the impact.

Qin Feng did not hold back this time. His internal strength was too powerful and was ten times that of this man's. If he were to unleash it all at once, it would naturally suppress and crush the other party.

"Die!"

Xue Yuheng then seized this opportunity, his entire body was now covered in blood as his hands turned into claws and he tried to grab at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng quickly turned around but this time it was too late and he had no choice but to endure this blow.

Poof!

His shirt was pierced through and his inner armor scrapped. Xue Yuheng's claw attack pierced through Qin Feng's shoulder.

However, this claw attack, which would normally break bones, when landed on Qin Feng's body, could barely reach the bones at all.

Xue Yuheng felt that he had just clawed onto an extremely tough black iron.

It was because Qin Feng had the body flesh of a beast king, and there was no way Xue Yuheng could pierce through his flesh that easily!

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Qin Feng seized this opportunity and without hesitation, he dropped his dagger and placed his palm on Xue Yuheng's dantian.

The Asteroid Assimilation skill was finally unleashed!

Chapter 281: Total Wipeout

Dantian has always been the most protected spot for an ancient warrior. It would rarely be left exposed in a battle between two aptitude users.

That was why Qin Feng usually could not apply Asteroid Assimilation at the beginning of a battle.

However, as the fight drags on, there would be more openings and the supremacy of Asteroid Assimilation would be in full display in late-stage.

Xue Yuheng risked exposing his weakness in hopes of giving Qin Feng a heavy blow to turn the fight around.

Qin Feng grasped the opportunity and launched his attack as well. Though he would also sustain full damage that way, Qin Feng knew well that he was not going to be the one most wounded.

The pulling force of Asteroid Assimilation rapidly sucked out Xue Yuheng's internal force from his dantian.

The internal force of a D-tier aptitude user was in liquid form. The fluidic internal power immediately transformed into a gas-form cloud after being absorbed by Qin Feng.

Another layer of energy cloud was quickly added into Qin Feng's dantian.

The second and third layers soon followed.

After the fourth layer was shaped, Xue Yuheng began to jerk violently and his skin texture aged rapidly.

The four layers of internal energy fluid remaining in his dantian had been absorbed clean by Qin Feng.

He stared at Qin Feng horrifyingly. His meridian had gone haywire and blood was continuously spilling out from his mouth. Xue Yuheng tried to free himself but to no avail as he was captured firmly by the assimilation force.

Within a minute, Xue Yuheng's life force had been completely sucked out from his body. There was no vigor left in his eyes as his frail body shrunk like a withered plant.

Qin Feng retracted his hand as he could no longer sense any internal force left in the victim's body. He turned his palm into a fist and landed a heavy punch right on Xue Yuheng's chest.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering was promptly heard. Xue Yuheng's muscles were all wasted and his skeleton was the only thing supporting him now. The merciless punch easily smashed the bare bones into pieces.

Xue Yuheng was dead!

Those who were watching the battle from about a hundred meters away were round-eyed with terror.

Qin Feng did not stop at one life and turned toward the rest.

The deacon from Xue family, who had lost any will to fight, climbed into his luxurious hover car when he saw that Qin Feng had his gaze switched to them. His two legs were dangling outside of the car as he tried strenuously to reach the driver seat.

Qin Feng clenched one of his feet and dragged him out from the vehicle.

"Argh! Don't kill me! Spare my life!"

So what if he was an E-tier aptitude user. Everyone was equally terrified in the face of death.

Asteroid Assimilation.

Qin Feng pushed his hand onto his victim's abdomen and absorbed his internal force.

The deacon's energy was nothing like Xue Yuheng's. He only had one layer of loosely-formed sea of clouds, thus Qin Feng's internal force did not strengthen by much after absorbing his.

The poor soul stopped moving after a while. He had suffered serious internal damage before and was using his remaining internal force to prolong his waning life. Now that he had lost the protection from his internal force, death was inevitable.

Qin Feng's eyes glowed with malice after he had killed two persons in quick succession. He continued to pace toward the remaining members of the Xue family.

Fear had completely taken over them. They fell back subconsciously as Qin Feng approached them.

They were terrified!

"Run!"

"I don't want to die here!"

"Quick! Run for your life!"

They followed their elders here to flaunt their family's superiority. Now, they were fleeing with tails between their legs. What an irony!

But they could not care less about their pride now. All they wanted was to stay alive.

The one that fled the quickest was not the youngsters but Xue Linhan.

"Where are you running off to?"

Qin Feng directed his internal force into his legs and immediately blew the tar roads apart.

He sprang forward quickly. "Die!"

Qin Feng put down five targets in one fell swoop using only his internal force.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Their bodies were instantly mashed by Qin Feng's powerful punches. To Qin Feng, these F and G-tier ancient warriors from the Xue family were nothing more than fleas. Nonetheless, Qin Feng did not plan to let anyone of them escape from his grasp.

He exterminated most of them in less than three assaults.

Xue Linhan was the only one still moving now.

However, he too was heavily injured with one of his arms cut off by Qin Feng earlier. He did not manage to run far.

Qin Feng caught up to him quickly.

Asteroid Assimilation. Pulling force!

Xue Linhan felt a large whirlpool approaching him fast from behind. The powerful suction greatly diminished his speed.

"No!"

His shriek was unable to deter Qin Feng.

Qin Feng promptly clenched Xue Linhan's neck.

Snap!

Xue Linhan's neck was twisted at an inconceivable angle following the crisp popping sound.

"Die!"

Qin Feng triggered Asteroid Assimilation and emptied Xue Linhan's internal force. He let his body go after that and beheaded him with a dagger. This head was worth a fortune if handed to the bounty hunter network.

Qin Feng began to sweep the battlefield afterward. The members from the Xue family had brought along a lot of spatial equipment with them, not to mention the possessions of the three top dogs, especially Xue Yuheng.

As a D-tier aptitude user, his wealth was comparable to that of a city mayor's. The materials, potions, and power credits in his spatial equipment were worth close to ten billion. The amount of money in Xue Yuheng's account was probably even greater.

Regrettably, Xue Yuheng had retired for a long time. He had not been wanted for ten years and the bounty on his head had long expired.

Anyhow, Qin Feng was content with the loot found on Xue Yuheng.

'I didn't think that my disguise would earn me ten billion this easily.' Qin Feng grinned.

"Stop being so carefree. You are bleeding!" Bai Li jumped down from the hover car quickly. She then climbed up to Qin Feng's shoulder and licked his wound.

Qin Feng stroked Bai Li gently but accidentally tainted her shiny fur with blood. Bai Li rolled her eyes at him.

"My bad. Let's head to Niumeng now so that you can have a shower there," Qin Feng took out his Silver Bolt as he spoke and the hover car sped off instantly.

Half an hour after Qin Feng disappeared from the battlefield, a fleet of cars arrived. They were the ones that dared not move close earlier on.

Soon, they had their eyes on the tragic scene—the devastated highway, multiple rolled over cars, and a pile of human corpses. They gasped in horror.

"Let's get the hell out of here. I am not going through here even if the detour is three times the distance!"

They wanted no part of such a disastrous battle. Leaving their trails here might drag them into unthinkable problems.

Even though the communicators on the dead bodies and the deserted hover car were extremely valuable, they did not have enough courage to pillage the warzone.

At the same time, the communicators began to ring non-stop in the Xue family's base.

The deacon was dead!

The Fifth Elder, Xue Yuheng, was dead.

The deacon was dead!

The Seventh…

The Seventh…

***

The sixth-generation descendant, Xue Linhan, was dead.

Tragic news kept arriving through the communicators.

Those who departed to hunt down Bloodhunter had been completely wiped out.

Chapter 282: Three Billion Bounty

The entire Xue family was rocked by the news.

"How is this possible?" The Seventh Elder exclaimed distressingly.

However, no matter how outrageous it seemed, nobody could deny the fact that they had all died in the hands of a single bounty hunter.

The Seventh Elder played the videos sent to him one by one with a trembling hand.

He was not the only one being stupefied. Every member of the Xue family found it difficult to swallow the hard truth.

All the young blood dispatched along with the elders this time encompassed an entire generation of young talents painstakingly developed by the Xue family.

Similar to the colony, teenagers were the greatest asset for this family. Youngsters would be awakened at the age of sixteen and cultivate for another sixteen years before they could serve the family.

Other than talent, the development of an aptitude user also lay heavily on the opportunities present. To any young user, the chance to observe the fight of a D-tier aptitude user first hand was hard to come by. Those who were given such an opportunity were no doubt the top of their class.

Who would have thought that they would all be annihilated?

If Xue Yuan was considered the best talent in the seventh generation, then those who went with Xue Yuheng would be ranked in at least the top twenty.

The Xue family would probably run out of descendents in a few years after this disaster.

"How could this happen? Could there be a trap? Is someone trying to hunt us down? Who would that be? Who has such bravery to challenge us?"

While they were speculating, the subsequent videos silenced everyone.

Apparently, there was neither an ambush nor another D-tier aptitude user on the scene. Bloodhunter was the indisputable culprit that had killed every last one of them.

"I thought he was only an E-tier? How did he manage to kill the Fifth Elder?"

"Look, we can view the fight between Fifth Elder and Bloodhunter clearly from this angle. Could it be that the Fifth Elder was suffering the repercussions from Inferno Blood in the middle of the battle?"

"Sigh. The Fifth Elder was severely injured in the past. He should not have been given the job after all."

The effect of Qin Feng's Asteroid Assimilation at the end of their battle indeed resembled the side effects of the Inferno Blood Secret Art. Thus, it led to the speculation that the Fifth Elder was killed by accident.

Regardless of the truth, the current pressing issue was whether they should continue seeking revenge.

This was when another message was delivered.

"How dare you!" The Seventh Elder bellowed infuriatingly.

Everyone else clenched their fists and stared at their communicators furiously.

It was an update on the bounty hunter network. Qin Feng had just uploaded another three photos there. The three photos did not show a bloody head like before but the content of the photos was still a giant slap in the face for the Xue family.

Those were evidence proving Bloodhunter had claimed the bounty for Xue Linhan and the two deacons from the Xue family. A huge stamp that read "completed" was clearly seen imprinted on the posters.

Below the wanted poster was a string of numbers representing the reward on their heads. Killing three of them had earned Bloodhunter at least one billion.

Bloodhunter had even left a comment below, "It's too bad that Xue Yuheng's bounty had expired."

As if that was not enough to humiliate the Xue family, other bounty hunters chipped in and commended Qin Feng's achievements.

"I noticed that Bloodhunter is just an E-tier user. Is that true? If my memory serves me right, Xue Yuheng was a D-tier elder from the Xue family. How did this guy defeat him?"

"1 billion! That's a lot of money."

"What kind of grudge does this Bloodhunter hold against the Dark Coalition?"

"Clearly, the elder from the Xue family was trying to avenge his family member killed earlier but he paid with his own life instead."

"Wonderful!"

Everyone in the network cheered for Qin Feng after someone brought up the dark history of the Xue family.

Those from the Xue family were exasperated. Before Bloodhunter emerged, anyone who dared to bad mouth about the Xue family was no different from having invited destruction to his or her entire family.

Now, nobody seemed to be afraid anymore. Many joined in on the denouncement openly. Years of the reputation built up by the Xue family was smashed overnight. Qin Feng had successfully lifted the people's fear toward the Xue family with his heroic act.

"Seventh Elder, we can't let this go just like this. I suggest we inform the head of the family!" The family members had clearly become irrational out of anger.

"Shut your mouth, moron! Do we need to startle him for a mere E-tier bounty hunter?" The Seventh Elder rebuked the suggestion. His name was Xue Yukui, who acted as the current patriarch of the Xue family.

The actual chief of the family was naturally the strongest user of the family—A C-tier elder at a hundred and twenty years old.

He was currently roaming about the world looking for materials to prolong his life. He had gone beyond the North Sea searching for a way to break through and become stronger.

Even in his absence, other factions and colonies still respected and feared the Xue family's power.

Unexpectedly, the balance was now destroyed by an E-tier user, who had single-handedly killed Xue Yuheng. This sent out a message, whereby those from the Xue family were not actually as scary as the rumor sounded.

To the Xue family, such a blow was catastrophic.

Yet, the first idea that came to Xue Yukui's mind after watching the videos was to avoid clashing with this Bloodhunter directly at all cost.

It was because he could not deny Bloodhunter's supreme skills.

'He is probably stronger than we know. There's no way he is just an ordinary aptitude user. Otherwise, he would not have destroyed an E-tier ancient warrior's organs in an instance.'

'Facing such a fighter is like battling an E-tier beast king. We would merely be sending more people to be sacrificed if we act recklessly now.'

'Moreover, he is now residing in Niumeng City. It would be tricky to ambush him there.'

Xue Yukui's mind spun feverishly.

His family members were furious as they felt humiliated by the open provocation. They looked at Xue Yukui expectantly, hoping that he could provide them with a satisfactory solution.

Xue Yukui came to a decision quickly under the immense pressure. "Immediately put a bounty on Bloodhunter. Three billion!"

The others were first shocked, then happy with the decision.

That was a wise judgment. This was indeed the best solution at the moment.

There was no need to do the dirty work with their own hands. With the lucrative reward, many would definitely answer the call. No matter how powerful this Bloodhunter was, he would still succumb to being heavily outnumbered.

Those from the Xue family immediately spread the news.

***

Qin Feng checked into the most luxurious hotel in Niumeng after submitting the mission in the bounty hunter hall.

His wound was revealed after he had taken off the battle suit.

Xue Yuheng's Sanguine Palm did hurt Qin Feng. Luckily, it did not damage his meridian and bones. Even so, his skin swelled at where Xue Yuheng had hit him. It popped and bled after Qin Feng poked it.

Bai Li circled Qin Feng worryingly.

"Don't worry, this is nothing serious!" Qin Feng took out some high-tier beast meat as he spoke.

"Absorb!"

He absorbed the energy stored within the meat, and soon, the swelling was reduced as the wound healed rapidly. The four holes left behind by the Sanguine Palm were also healing at an observable speed.

Bai Li stopped hopping around nervously after seeing that and curled within Qin Feng's crossed legs to accompany him quietly.

Qin Feng adopted the meditation posture and checked his dantian.

The seas of clouds in it had increased by twenty layers after today's fight.

"Absorb!"

The internal force rapidly surged to his head, then descended to his limbs and strengthened all his meridians. The surplus of internal energy was then recycled back to his dantian.

That left his dantian with forty layers of dense seas of clouds—Four times the amount as compared to an ordinary E-tier ancient warrior at his or her peak.

His internal force might not lose even if he were to contest a D-tier ancient warrior now.

Chapter 283: Assassins Surfaced

Still, the maximum capacity between the two tiers was fundamentally different. Qin Feng's confidence stemmed from the ancient warrior's habit of conserving energy when landing punches. No D-tier would go all out on Qin Feng from the start so he would still stand a chance if he played his card right.

Qin Feng released a long breath and smiled satisfyingly.

He turned on the bounty hunter network and was irked after reading the comments tagging his account.

"Heh, I have been listed in the darknet's wanted list. This must be the Xue family's doing."

The darknet's wanted list was equivalent to the bounty hunter network. To a certain extent, the former was even more attractive to bounty hunters.

The official network only listed criminals who had committed heinous felonies.

On the other hand, anyone's head could be given a price in the darknet. As long as the price was right, there would be ample of willing assassins in the underworld to do the killing for you.

"Three billion, not a bad price." Qin Feng sneered.

This was when the doorbell in his room rang. A sweet lady's voice reached his ears from outside the door.

"Good evening, Sir. Room service."

'Room service?' Qin Feng opened the door calmly.

At the doorstep, a pretty lady in a nurse costume stood flirtatiously in front of Qin Feng. Her make-up made her look stunningly beautiful.

"Sir, welcome to Niumeng Grand Hotel. Here, we provide free massage services to help you relax," The young lady said and tried to barge in with her trolley. She was only one hundred fifty meters tall and the trolley seemed to be too heavy for her size. Her shirt was slightly exposed as she exerted force, and her cleavage was left bare to Qin Feng's eyes.

Qin Feng stopped her and said in a deep voice, "I did not ask for room service."

"As I said, this is free of charge," The lady winked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng scoffed at her. "Ms. Tian, save your breath. You can't kill anyone with such lousy trickery."

Her identity was already exposed when Qin Feng scanned the area with his conscious energy before he opened the door.

Thousand-face Enchantress—Tian Sheng.

She was an assassin who liked to use her beauty to bewitch her target. She was good at impersonation and would often assassinate the male target when they were the least vigilant.

It might be a cheap trick but this strategy often had a high success rate on the male target.

Qin Feng had met with Tian Sheng once in his past life. She was already a mistress to a B-tier aptitude user then and no longer worked as an assassin. He clearly remembered her conscious energy and would immediately recognize her even if she were to come to him with an entirely different face.

Tian Sheng did not panic but instead put on an innocent face. "What are you talking about, Mister? My surname is Zhou, not Tian." She drew closer and whispered in a coquettish tone, "Don't you like me, Mister?"

She blinked hopefully but Qin Feng was unmoved. He took out a dagger and aimed it on her neck.

Tian Sheng finally yielded her disguise and evaded the attack because she could feel that Qin Feng was serious about beheading her.

"My, my. Not only are you a cruel and cold-blooded Bloodhunter but you also do not have the slightest sense of chivalry!"

Tian Sheng's tone had completely changed. Without the imitation, she was an entirely different person from the alluring lady she pretended to be.

She flipped over the towel on the trolley and pulled out a decomposition blaster under it. In the next moment, the crystalline blaster was aimed straight at Qin Feng's face.

Blitz!

The gun released a shot of radiance right at Qin Feng, forcing Qin Feng to retreat quickly. The radiance grazed the wall and immediately corroded it, leaving behind a huge hole. The brick underneath turned into crystal and shattered on the ground.

Blitz! Blitz!

Tian Sheng did not loosen her pursuit and fired another few blasts.

Qin Feng raised his hand and a chair flew right at Tian Sheng in response.

Blitz!

The chair was pulverized after being hit by the decomposition blaster.

When Tian Sheng looked up, she had lost track of Qin Feng, only seeing a snowy beast residing in the room.

It was a beautiful three-tailed fox, no matter how you looked at it.

But Tian Sheng could feel a shiver run down her spine.

The fox's eyes were filled with rage and great impatience. Other than that, there was also a subtle allure hidden within the beast's sight.

"Look at me!"

"Ugh!" Tian Sheng was distracted for a moment.

That was more than enough for Qin Feng to sneak up to her from behind.

Poof!

A dagger wrapped with internal force instantly penetrated Tian Sheng's heart from the back.

Tian Sheng's pupils dilated as she staggered forward.

Qin Feng pulled out the dagger and blood spilled everywhere on the floor and the wall.

"How… ugh… is this… happening…"

Life slowly sapped away from Tian Sheng after her heart was punctured.

Qin Feng assimilated Tian Sheng's consciousness after she was dead. She was only a low-tier gunner and could not harm Qin Feng at all after her seductive plan was seen through.

"I want to change to a different room. Look at my bed sheet!" Bai Li complained angrily.

Even if Bai Li did not complain, the room was no longer in a stay-able condition. However, Qin Feng did not call the reception first and instead contacted the bounty hunter network.

Qin Feng delivered three heads over to them as soon as he arrived in Niumeng. It was only natural for the organization to be extra attentive toward Qin Feng.

They immediately sent someone over right after Qin Feng called them. The agent was shown to the dead female body once he arrived at the hotel room.

"I remember that Tian Sheng's bounty is around 500 million, am I right?" Her bounty was even higher than that of the Xue descendents. That was because she had committed multiple murders as an assassin.

Gulp.

The agent ran a quick DNA test. Technology had advanced to a point where such a test could be completed on the go within minutes. Tian Sheng's identity was soon confirmed, and the agent ratified that Qin Feng had completed yet another manhunt.

It was only after they had completed the procedure that Qin Feng requested the hotel staff to change his room. The concierges talked to Qin Feng with great respect after they saw the extent of the damage done to the room.

"Stop accepting new customers today. We already have our hands full with one troublesome guest. We can't afford to let another fight erupt here." This was the order the manager received after he reported the matter to the real owner of the hotel—One of the administrators of Niumeng City.

The owner's face darkened after learning that the customer was none other than Bloodhunter, who had made a name for himself by killing three infamous Dark Coalition members.

The owner understood the severity of the matter and ordered the immediate closure of the hotel. Meanwhile, Qin Feng was automatically upgraded to a presidential suite and was provided the highest class of service.

The night was not exactly a peaceful one, but that did not stop Qin Feng from having a good night's sleep.

Meanwhile, a lot of eyes were wide awake and spying on him in the dark.

"Three billion is no easy task. Even Thousand-face has failed."

"Hmph, that b*tch has no skills anyway!"

"We should lay low for now. After all, we are still inside Niumeng City. It's not worth risking our lives for the money before we are sure about the situation."

"Let's be patient and see how things develop. We are clearly not the only ones aiming for his head."

Some of them who received the kill order had grouped up, while a few brave souls had decided to act alone.

The different parties were wary of each other since everyone was targeting the same goal—Qin Feng's head, and the three billion reward offered by the Xue family.

The first night passed without further commotion despite the tension as all parties tacitly decided to wait it out.

Chapter 284: Ambush

Qin Feng did not hide indoors the next day.

He went out as usual because it was the opening of the Battlegod Tomb.

Qin Feng was not going to miss such an important date, though he knew the short trip there would not be a peaceful one. Qin Feng would show no mercy to anyone who dares to block his path and did not mind killing dozens of assassins as warm-up.

After having breakfast, Qin Feng descended to the lobby with Xiao Bai in his arms. They were ready to check out of the hotel.

A person walked toward him as soon as he exited the lift.

The man wore a tailor-made battle suit. A sigil displaying E5 was hanging handsomely on his chest.

He was obviously not an assassin judging by his upright posture.

His battle suit clearly indicated that he was a uniformed personnel. Qin Feng immediately recognized the uniform as the one worn by the patrol unit of Niumeng City.

"Nice to meet you, Bloodhunter." The man offered a handshake and introduced himself. "My name is Liu Lei, the commander of the Niumeng patrol troop's fifth battalion."

Qin Feng raised his eyebrow.

"My purpose here today is to escort you out and ensure your safety. As you might have heard, the Xue family has put a price on your head last night. A lot of killers have infiltrated the city since then. For your safety and the city's security, please forgive us for the inconvenience caused."

Qin Feng glared at him and said, "Since you have asked for my forgiveness, I suppose you understand how inappropriate your request is."

Liu Lei dared not offend Qin Feng. This was a man who could even defeat a D-tier ancient warrior.

A lot of people were busy guessing Bloodhunter's true identity now. But no matter what, he was definitely out of Liu Lei's league.

"Mr. Bloodhunter, I know this would restrict your personal freedom but we are doing it to protect you!"

"Do I look like I need your protection?" Qin Feng snorted.

Liu Lei expected the response and answered hurriedly, "At least we can stop people from harassing you. Please be cooperative with us until you leave Niumeng city."

Qin Feng fetched his Silver Bolt with a gesture and said, "I don't need your protection. I am leaving Niumeng now."

Liu Lei was surprised that Qin Feng had chosen to leave so soon. Regardless, it was the best-case scenario for them that Qin Feng would willingly bring his trouble out of Niumeng City.

"Please allow us to send you off."

"Whatever." Qin Feng started his car and drove out of the hotel. More than ten patrol cars convoyed around his Silver Bolt to keep Qin Feng "safe".

Those who watched in silence were irked by what they saw.

"What's going on? Why is the patrol troop escorting him?"

"What is Liu Lei plotting? Is he here to interfere?"

"Ask for intel, quick."

These assassins had their eyes and ears everywhere. It was no surprise that one or two of their informants were among the forty personnels escorting Qin Feng.

They soon learned that Qin Feng was exiting the city and Liu Lei was just seeing him off.

"Let's do this outside of Niumeng."

"What a daring guy. I would not have opted to leave town at such a timing."

"Hmph, what an arrogant piece of sh*t. I am going to claim the reward this time."

The assassins moved out as quickly as they could after confirming Qin Feng's intentions.

They could plan an ambush ahead since Qin Feng was moving relatively slow on wheels at the moment.

Qin Feng could not care less. He would not back down from anyone trying to take his life. It was their choice to become his enemies, not his. Hence, he would not go easy on them.

The convoy cruised steadily out of Niumeng City. The car in the front flashed a double signal and stopped at the side.

Liu Lei alighted and walked toward Qin Feng.

"Mr. Qin, we will part ways here."

Qin Feng scoffed and did not even bother to roll down the window. He changed his car into hover mode and drove off at full speed.

"Sigh." Liu Lei realized they were at fault this time. But the higher ups from Niumeng were left with no choice since Bloodhunter had aggravated none other than a renowned ancient warrior family.

Qin Feng's car quickly went out of sight and out of the protection of Niumeng City.

His Silver Bolt had traveled a considerable distance after five minutes. It was indeed a speedy hovercraft.

Suddenly, Qin Feng realized that he was being targeted by two conscious energies.

Pew! Pew!

Two yellowish missiles were chasing after the craft.

"Hmph!" Qin Feng sneered and stored the Silver Bolt back into his spatial equipment. He then stood imposingly in the middle of the highway.

The two missiles were incoming fast.

Of course, Qin Feng would not risk exposing himself by reflecting the missiles using his conscious energy.

The reflexes and defensive prowess of an ancient warrior were more than enough for him to deal with the two missiles. Qin Feng expanded his internal force to form a protective field that covered his entire body.

This was a defensive skill usually mastered only by D-tier aptitude users. Qin Feng could execute it easily owing to his enormous internal strength.

Not only that but Qin Feng dexterously dodged the missiles the moment they almost hit him. The assaulters did not have enough time to change the course of the missiles as Qin Feng was too fast.

Boom! Boom!

The two missiles hit the ground.

The explosions splashed the rocks and sand off the road, which hit Qin Feng's internal force shield. The shield was slightly rippled but its energy was hardly exhausted. The attack did not even smudge Qin Feng's suit.

"Stop making fun of yourself using such a laughable trick." Qin Feng infused his tone with internal force and delivered his mockery far and wide.

That failed to draw out the ambushers.

They were still observing closely while contemplating their next step. Everyone wanted to be the third dog*.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, would not wait passively and charged right at them.

It was just like having a stroll in the park for him but his pace was rather fast.

The ambushers panicked when they saw Qin Feng making the first move.

Apparently, they did not expect the missiles to do Qin Feng any harm. It was simply to stop Qin Feng from getting away with his hovercraft.

That had been achieved but it seemed that they had little idea on what to do next. A dogfight was imminent.

Finally, the first person got sick of hiding and stepped out. Many would soon follow. To be honest, it was not difficult to guess their thoughts.

If those who came out first were to successfully assassinate Qin Feng and run away with his body, then those who emerge later would have gained nothing.

They must get a piece of Qin Feng no matter what. The allure of the three billion reward was hard to resist.

That was almost the worth of an E-tier beast king like Drakocrocs. Its skin could be used to forge many equipment and wear.

In other words, three billion was equivalent to a full set of king-tier items.

Nonetheless, not everyone could earn money as easily and as fast as Qin Feng. On average, an E-tier aptitude user could only pocket one hundred to two hundred million each time they carried out a deadly mission.

Hence, to them, Qin Feng was no longer a person but a walking bag of gold.

"Kill!"

"Die!"

"Everyone, attack!"

These people came out from their hiding and jumped at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smirked.

'Can't wait for your turn to die, eh?'

There was a total of thirty of them.

Qin Feng showed no fear despite being heavily outnumbered.

*Translator's note: The third dog reference originated from the phrase "While two dogs fight for a bone, a third runs away with it".

Chapter 285: One Kill For Every Ten Steps

"Those who kill will eventually be killed by others!"

Qin Feng spoke without any emotions as he identified the first ancient warrior who was the first to rush toward him.

"Dark Shroud!"

"Phantom Motion Steps!"

Qin Feng remained extremely stealthy without reducing any of his lightning speed.

Massive internal force instantly shattered his opponent's protective internal energy, it was merely an unworthy opponent that had no protection left and did not deserve any attention from Qing Feng.

His internal strength was truly overpowered.

Poof!

A decapitated skull was tossed up to the sky while blood squirted all around.

One down!

Qin Feng turned around with his enormous internal strength that had emerged and began his slaughtering feast.

"Ah!"

Amidst chaotic screaming that was heard in the surroundings, the throat of a gunner was being slit through while fresh blood dripped from his mouth, he had lost all of his energy and his body fell onto the ground.

"How could this be…"

An ability user could not believe it when he witnessed Qin Feng who was able to withstand his fiery attack that landed back onto himself, and his ribs cracked into pieces!

The massive energy had rolled over the ability user and flattened his body.

Qin Feng's slaughter!

Nobody could get a hold of Qin Feng who had mastered his Phantom Motion Steps, and some had even injured themselves by their blind attacks!

The battle had only taken place for ten minutes, and there were already more than twenty who had died!

There were more than ten of them that were left behind and were haunted by fear.

What sort of enemy were they battling against?

"Retreat!"

"We can't fight him!"

"It is not worth it to risk our lives without any reward!"

Everyone began to back off.

Qin Feng stood still and did not have the intention to hunt everyone down.

He raised both of his hands and looted every valuable item from all of the people that were dead, and regardless of who they were to Qin Feng, all dead bodies were decapitated.

Some of them might even be worth some extra bounty if they were on the list of wanted people.

Those who were hidden in the dark were frightened by Qin Feng's actions.

Now, everyone felt that this Bloodhunter was as equally dangerous as the Xue family.

Qin Feng continued to maintain his high profile and walked on the main road without using his hovercraft.

As soon as the first round of assassination had ended, unsurprisingly, the Xue family had sent someone to find out what the outcome was.

They came for a sole purpose, which was to retrieve Xue Yuheng's spatial rune equipment worth about ten billion.

It was surprising for them that the E-tier aptitude users were being killed in such a terrible way.

The news had alerted the Xue family and had everyone shocked.

"B*stard!" Xue Yukui became furiously agitated by the recordings from the communicator.

Meanwhile, the fear in Xue Yukui had also grown stronger as well.

Everyone remained silent as they noticed that Xue Yukui was in a rage!

"Spread the news, the Fifth Elder has a rare treasure that is worth billions!"

"Seventh Elder!"

"This, wouldn't this cause the D-tier aptitude users to join in as well? By then, we will not be able to retrieve those items!"

"Moreover, what impression would the others have on our family?"

The Xue family did not acknowledge the death of Xue Yuheng, and Qin Feng did not present any evidence to prove it as well.

The fall of the elder from a renowned dark family, how disgraceful would that be?

"Shut up, do you all really think that nobody else would know if I keep it to myself? The other elders might have already made their move to spread the news that has caught everyone's attention, I want to create an even bigger mess so that Bloodhunter would have his hands full." Xue Yukui said to the others.

Everyone agreed with Xue Yukui's idea.

"I am going to get the Third and Sixth Elder, this time, it would still require us to take action!" Xue Yukui stated.

They aimed to be the fishmonger that would come last to net in all of the rewards.

The more that was killed by Bloodhunter, the more that the loot would be.

Wealth was definitely something that they would not want to miss.

For those who would go along to besiege Bloodhunter would undoubtedly be eradicated by them!

The method that was being used by the Xue family was similar to when Qin Feng set a bounty on the Scorpion Corps, only that the approach of it was different.

Despite the lucrative bounty that Qin Feng had set on the Scorpion Corps, nobody dared to take up the task.

With the insane amount of bounty that was set on Qin Feng by the Xue family, many had tried to hunt down Qin Feng, meanwhile, the Xue family only had to wait for their desired outcome in the end, it was a perfect situation for them.

However, would the outcome be the same as when Qin Feng set a bounty on the Scorpion Corps?

***

Qin Feng went ahead alone on the road, he realized that there were still others that were observing him from hidden spots.

However, Qin Feng ignored all of them.

While none of those who were spying on Qin Feng were able to bother him, he moved forward along the road and noticed a shadow of another person.

Qin Feng instantly halted in his footsteps.

He gazed upon the opponent that was equipped with an entire set of advanced combat fatigue, surprisingly, it was D-tier purple rune equipment with a D2-tier badge on his chest.

It was also very odd for the person to put on a mask to hide his identity.

However, judging from the skin condition from the neck, he was most likely an elderly person that was over sixty years old!

Qin Feng stood before him.

"Bloodhunter!" The person shouted and sounded slightly puzzled. "I have heard about you and your case against the Xue family, as an elder, I would commend on your courage, however, you have gotten yourself into deep trouble, and you might not escape being hunted down by the Xue family!"

Qin Feng remained silent and waited for him to complete his sentence, then, he replied with a question, "As an elder, what suggestion would you have for me then?"

"I am aware that you are having Xue Yuheng's spatial rune equipment, if you were to give me that, I will distract the others from hunting you down!" The person replied.

Qin Feng let out a sneer, "You wish!"

The elder took a deep breath and sounded more harsh in his tone.

"You are not appreciating my kind help, if you take up my offer, you might still be able to survive!"

"If you back off now, you might not die here!" Qin Feng replied with a deep voice.

The elder was probably not one of the members of the Dark Coalition, he might even be one of the highly regarded people from the human alliance.

However, he had made the wrong move in approaching Qin Feng!

"It seems like I will have to go the harsh way!"

The elder was taking peaceful measures before using force, but the attack that came after was definitely a deadly one.

After all, he knew that Qin Feng was able to take down Xue Yuheng, he would definitely not be any other ordinary person.

He did not want to follow the footsteps of Xue Yuheng.

"I will seek for peace until others have crossed the line!" Qin Feng let out a sigh, "If you really wish to take me down, then I will have to go all out with you!"

If the elder was only being greedy for wealth, utilizing his D2-tier capabilities that was only aimed at defeating his opponent, Qin Feng would have easily spared his life.

However, Qin Feng would not go easy on him now.

Sometimes, it depended on how you portray yourself to the mirror.

If you show a smile, the mirror would return with a smile.

If you show anger, the mirror would also return the same!

The elder that sounded righteous earlier had turned into a killer that was about to kill him.

Boom!

The massive internal strength from both of them collided.

"Dark Shroud!"

While the internal strength began to entangle onto each other, runes began to sneak into it, and hidden dark lights shined onto the elder.

Chapter 286: Battle Against D4

Qin Feng went all out without any hesitation and gathered dark runes onto his dagger, as if it was shrouded by a black layer of light.

It was rare for dark abilities to showcase their presence, hence, some might not even be able to detect it.

After a few rounds of battles, Qin Feng had managed to grab hold of an opening and pierced through the arm of the elder.

Within a short period of time, the arm of the elder turned pitch-black and deteriorated continuously.

Any ordinary person would last for a short while but due to old age, it was obvious that the elder had a problem coping with the dark abilities that were devouring his life energy and striking a deadly attack onto his weak point.

"You, how dare you use poison!"

The elder roared in anger, as if Qin Feng had committed some unforgivable sin.

"Regardless of black or white cats, only its ability to take down its prey defines its capability, it is my own decision to use poison!"

Since the elder was already aiming to take Qin Feng's life, why would he still be so hesitant, was he expecting Qin Feng to risk his own life just to remain an honourable person?

Qin Feng let out a sneer and took the opportunity to drain out an insane amount of his opponent's internal energy with Asteroid Assimilation.

A D2-tier ancient warrior would have two separate energy fluids within the internal strength of the body.

There had to be twenty layers of them if they were to be transformed into a sea of clouds.

The internal strength within Qin Feng's dantian spiked in leaps and bounds.

The elder opened his eyes wide as he was shocked by the injustice!

Boom!

The repelling force exploded and the elder was being forcefully tossed away by Qin Feng's attack.

His body landed on the road and it resulted in an instant death.

Qin Feng took a deep breath.

The exchange with the elder had left a few wounds on Qin Feng's body, the F-tier emperor combat fatigue was unable to withstand forces from the D-tier aptitude user, and there was a huge gash on the gear on his arm.

However, he did not care much about those, he went ahead to check for loot and moved forward.

After Qin Feng had gone far ahead, some of those that were in the surrounding approached and looked at the dead body of the elder that had just died.

"A powerful D-tier, who is he?"

"Shall we take a look?"

With deep reverence toward the dead body, some reached out to take off the mask of the elder.

Everyone was shocked as they stood still.

"He, I think he is the leader of the Lee family!"

The Lee family was the leader of the second generation ancient warrior families from the Four Cities of the North Sea.

Although the massive family might not be comparable with the four major ancient warrior families, it was at the same hierarchy as the lord from Niumeng City.

"There are rumors saying that despite their large number, none of them from the Lee family are capable enough to take up the next leadership position, and all of them are wastrels!"

"Keke, so pitiful, this elderly leader came out just for the 3 billion reward?"

"It is not about the 3 billion, I would say it is because of Xue Yuheng's spatial rune equipment!"

"The Lee family is now doomed!"

The discussion continued on and news soon spread quickly, Bloodhunter had killed the leader of the Lee family, instantly, everyone was shocked by the news.

However, focus began to shift away from the death of the elder.

"The leader of the Lee family is highly skilled, would Bloodhunter be stronger than him?"

"Perhaps, he was also wounded, and he acted as if he was unaffected and left!"

"Now, he has gotten items from two D-tier aptitude users."

Instantly, jealousy began to grow among all of the assassins that were after Qin Feng.

It was within everyone!

The multiplying possessions that had gained him the enormous amount of wealth was insanely tempting for the others.

Furthermore, Qin Feng was wanted by many others.

They had even come up with a better idea, it was the same as what the Xue family had thought.

Recurring battles.

It was at that moment, as he walked on the road, Qin Feng was left speechless as he looked through the items that were looted from the leader of the Lee family.

"How is this possible? How could he be this poor?" Qin Feng browsed through the spatial rune equipment that did not contain much, with a quick glance, it would only be worth 2 billion.

The level of poverty was shocking!

How could a D-tier aptitude user be in such a dire state?

Qin Feng even doubted himself for not looting thoroughly.

However, it was because he did not know who he was, if he had known, he would most probably have figured out the reason behind it.

Qin Feng did not go ahead to find out the person's true identity and it had nothing to do with him.

He continued to move forward at a constant speed, and he was only able to go for another five hundred meters before he encountered another person.

Incoming bombs forced Qin Feng to withstand the attack with his internal strength, but the attackers remained stationed from afar without any further action, and Qin Feng was irritated by it.

"Do you really think you can drain out my internal strength with such a method?"

Qin Feng was aware of the plans of his opponents.

His shadow then instantly disappeared from the road.

The ability users that were after Qin Feng were all shocked at the sight, they began to activate their conscious energy to search for Qin Feng.

"What happened? Where is he? He disappeared just like that!"

"Nothing returned from the search using conscious energy, did he equip something that could hide his conscious energy?"

"The mask is capable of avoiding conscious energy search, but would that also be able to block his breathing? What kind of precious item is that?"

Qin Feng's mask was definitely unable to perform wonders but he could easily hide himself by using his conscious energy. He travelled at high speed within the bushes that paralleled along the road, soon, he was close to the location of the attacker that launched the attack earlier.

Without any hesitation, Qin Feng took out his dagger and rushed toward the gunner for a kill.

"Ah!"

The opponent covered his throat and fell from the tree.

Qin Feng did not stop, and he began his furious slaughter on every assassin that was hidden in the area!

He took down about five of them and moved forward, however, he looked even more battered as the decomposing blaster had slightly grazed through his clothes during the battle.

Then, he stopped moving forward along the road and took a turn into another direction.

For the others, it might seem that Qin Feng was planning for an escape into the wilderness.

There were a lot more that were risking their lives as they continued to pursue Qin Feng in the dark, and they were puzzled by the potential wealth that was before them.

It was three hours later when Qin Feng circled around a giant hill and stopped by a stream.

He seemed to be worried from the expression on his face.

"What is it? Not escaping anymore?" A voice was heard, filled with mockery, and it sounded like he was looking down on Qin Feng.

Qin Feng fixed his vision on his opponent.

It was a young man.

He was about thirty years old, and had a well-built body that was about two meters tall, he was also wearing combat fatigue and his hair was yellow in color.

His inner armor was silver in color, and it was a D-tier silver color.

D-tier beast king inner armor!

It was obvious that he was a strong opponent!

Qin Feng was also alarmed by the presence of such a strong opponent.

"Zhao Yingyi!" Qin Feng called out the name of his opponent.

It was one the ancient warriors that would become very powerful during the later stages of his life.

He was an active member from the Dark Coalition, and before the death of Qin Feng, he had even achieved B-tier capabilities.

However, Qin Feng did not know that he was originally from the Four Cities of the North Sea.

Qin Feng could only recall that his presence was in the middle eastern states!

However, those did not matter anymore!

Qin Feng only needed to know that Zhao Yingyi was a D4-tier!

He had to be well-prepared to face such a strong opponent.

Qin Feng had yet to organize his unsettled sea of internal strength clouds, with his forty layers seas of clouds available, it was coincidentally the same as Zhao Yingyi's.

At times like this, difficult situations would require extreme measures!

Qin Feng had his eyes locked on his opponent, and all of a sudden, he had an idea.

"Xiao Bai, come with me!"

In the next moment, Qin Feng was already rushing forward.

It was then, Bai Li instantly disappeared from beside Qin Feng, and in the next moment, she was already behind Zhao Yingyi!

Zhao Yingyi was sharp in sensing his surroundings so he quickly dodged to the side.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Three sharpened claws drew across the air and went past the same spot.

Chapter 287: The Xue Family Gives Chase

"Beast King!!!" Zhao Yingyi was shocked when he saw Bai Li but it was immediately followed by a glint in his eyes. "A contract beast? You're a really lucky kid, having a beast king as a contract beast, but do you really think you can beat me like that?"

Zhao Yingyi was very confident. After all he was wearing the inner armor of a D-tier beast king, Qin Feng and Bai Li's attacks would have no effect on him.

"Well, I don't have time to dilly-dally. Those Xue family dinosaurs are still waiting to reap the benefits, I'm afraid they'll catch up soon!"

Qin Feng was quiet for a while, then he said, "Then I won't waste time with you, after all I'm not sure about dealing with a bunch of D-tiers!"

Zhao Yingyi sneered, "You sound like you're pretty sure of yourself right now!"

Who was Zhao Yingyi? He had been called a prodigy at a young age and had a valiant kind of strength. All the ultra beasts he had fought before were D-tier, and he had killed countless D-tier aptitude users, even when he was E8 to E9 tier he hunted and fought D-tier gunners.

That was why he felt that Qin Feng's battle record was not all that special. Maybe he was just a little bit stronger in the beginning, but Zhao Yingyi felt that this kind of person should be put down before they become too big of an issue.

Besides, he got bored and decided to come over. The moment he saw something exciting he just had to be involved!

By now the two daggers in Qin Feng's hands had disappeared, obviously he had stored them back into his spatial rune equipment.

Then, another blade appeared in his hand. It had a long and wide blade that looked respectably heavy.

It seemed to be filled with power, but the most important thing was that the blade did not give off the special light that man-made equipment had. Its tier was unknown.

Uncertainty blossomed in Zhao Yingyi's subconscious mind. 'Could it be? A God Weapon?'

When the Earth was invaded by the rifts, many long lost legends finally received their answers and there were items that could be used by humans with properties that could never be produced by humanity.

They called them God Weapons.

If that were true then he would have to be extra careful.

"Let's see if you really have real skills!"

Zhao Yingyi pulled out a metal staff, a D-tier weapon that shone with silver light.

This Zhao Yingyi had terrifying strength and a profound background. Qin Feng fearlessly charged toward him.

"Blazing Sky!" Once a move had been made, it had to be a sure-kill move.

"Thousand Dervish Smite!"

Zhao Yingyi also pulled out tricks of his own.

With large amounts of internal force flowing through their weapons, there was a resounding bang from the collision.

They were already in the middle of a mountain, such a loud noise would have caused a lingering echo.

Xue Yukui and the rest who had been looking for clues immediately turned toward that direction.

Meanwhile, the battle between Qin Feng and Zhao Yingyi became more and more intense.

For a moment, his consciousness tugged at him. He felt that his expanded consciousness had picked up the presence of multiple D-tier aptitude users.

That must be the Xue family's people.

This must be resolved quickly!

With a flick of his wrist, he collided with Zhao Yingyi's weapon and sent him three meters back.

Zhao Yingyi became more and more apprehensive the longer he fought, he had not expected Qin Feng to be so strong. The more he had this feeling the more he wanted to kill his opponent.

When Qin Feng retreated, Zhao Yingyi immediately gave chase.

In response, Qin Feng suddenly mobilized his consciousness.

"Magma Burst!"

Boom!

A scorching wave of heat rose from the ground and instantly enveloped Zhao Yingyi.

Zhao Yingyi left himself open and cried out in surprise, "Huh?!"

Quickly expelling internal force, he took a step and bounded away from the column of magma that erupted out from the ground below him. When he moved, a pitch black crack with silver light at its rim appeared at the area where he was dodging toward. He was not sure what that was but it definitely was not good news so he decided to avoid it.

He might have avoided the first but a crack appeared behind him. Not only that, but in the blink of an eye the cracks began to spread, surrounding him from all sides.

Pfft!

Pfft pfft pfft!

Zhao Yingyi's arms and thighs were suddenly slashed by the cracks.

Bai Li unleashed her power!

Qin Feng naturally was not going to stop.

"Dark Shroud!"

A shroud that was pitch-black suddenly covered Zhao Yingyi!

"What the hell?" Zhao Yingyi lost his own rhythm but his powerful internal force rushed out and knocked aside the space runes, instantly healing his small cuts.

This was why D-tiers participated in the front line. They could even seal rifts with energy transformed by their internal force.

The spatial ability was not invincible!

However, this kind of ability was not something that could be so easily shrugged away. Countering it took a lot of internal force and the gain was not worth the loss. Qin Feng would not give up this opportunity.

"Dark Ray!"

A beam of darkness slammed into Zhao Yingyi's body, causing him to suddenly feel very weak, and his strength had been greatly reduced.

At this time, he realized what he had encountered!

"Fire ability and dark ability!"

These were definitely abilities!

Just what was Bloodhunter? An ability user and an ancient warrior?

Zhao Yingyi did not have too much time to think because Qin Feng had already gone in for an attack.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Qin Feng absorbed a large amount of Zhao Yingyi's internal force.

"Get off me!" With a swing of his staff, he managed to pull himself away from Qin Feng's absorption.

Strength indeed.

All of a sudden, Bai Li appeared once again.

Zhao Yingyi's internal force had already swept away the Dark Shroud, then he saw Bai Li.

"Look at me!" Bai Li's eyes emitted a piercingly bright silver light, momentarily dazzling Zhao Yingyi.

He was an ancient warrior but he did not have the consciousness to match the strength of a king-class spatial ability user.

Bai Li added, "Stop moving!"

Zhao Yingyi's body suddenly seized up and Qin Feng brought his blade toward his neck.

After struggling for a while, Zhao Yingyi managed to stagger backward.

But it was too late.

Qin Feng's saber had already cut into his neck, slashing out a chunk of it.

"Hurk…huh…" For whatever Zhao Yingyi wanted to say, he had no energy to continue.

Qin Feng approached him, knowing that his opponent had not died yet. Before the internal force in his dantian dissipates, he quickly struck his opponent's dantian with his palm.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

His internal force surged. Qin Feng's dantian's internal force felt like it was about to explode!

After one day of battling, combined with Zhao Yingyi being a D4-tier ancient warrior, it resulted in the internal strength in his dantian reaching the limit of ninety nine layers.

He did not dare absorb it all and loosened his grip.

Three D-tier aptitude users were about a few hundred meters away from him, fast approaching on his left!

Qin Feng flicked his hand, melting Zhao Yingyi's body in hellfire after he had taken away the D-tier inner armor and other useful equipment. After picking up the silver light equipment, he kicked at the ashes to scatter them

"Darkness. Fire. Return!"

All the runes were absorbed back into Qin Feng. If it were not for special equipment, it would have been impossible to detect fluctuations of power here.

The only sign would be the ground that the magma pillars had suddenly erupted from earlier having turned into volcanic ash from the eruption.
