Chapter 760: Bai Li's Encounter

From Qin Feng's experience before rebirth, he could already be considered as a top-tier hero class.

It was surprising that there were no fruits obtained from the Ancient Wisdom Tree.

Qin Feng stopped practicing, he looked at Bai Li who was guarding beside him.

"Your turn now! I'll guard you!"

It was impossible for anyone to practice at that place without any safeguard, everyone had to prepare for any potential sneak attack from the others!

Hence, while Qin Feng was practicing, Bai Li was only guarding by the side.

"Hmm, alright!"

Bai Li sat down in accordance to Qin Feng's posture, cross-legged.

Actually, it did not matter for ultra beasts, whether they were seated or lying down, both were viable.

Bai Li had her own distinctive approach in practicing inherited from her bloodline, absorbing the essence of energy from heaven and earth, and she could even absorb energy from other spaces.

An array of faded silver glow appeared around Bai Li, even the moonlight seemed to be drawn toward her!

Immediately, the realistic moonlight landed upon Bai Li's body.

When observed closely, it was definitely not moonlight, but light refractions from each Sage Fruit.

Knowing that the Ancient Wisdom Tree was extremely massive, densely grown with fruits that were stubbornly clinging to it, such a great number of refracted lights was a rare scene.

Bai Li seemed to have felt something, and immediately opened her eyes.

"Whruah!"

The fruits were attracted by Bai Li, they pushed through the leaves and fell simultaneously.

From a quick observation, the number was shocking, there were about fifty of them!

Definitely horrifying!

"Whruah!"

All of the fruits landed into Bai Li's arms.

Even Qin Feng was struck dumb by it.

The translucent fruits were all filled with energy presence, when sniffed from a closer distance, the scent was pleasing, calming and refreshing for the mind.

Liu Hang was the closest to them, he was stunned by the scene.

The others let out their death stare toward Bai Li, filled with greed, and wishing they could rush forward and plunder from her.

Perhaps they were staring too hard, Bai Li could no longer put on a wide smile and delighted look, her face turned serious to express her anger!

She exposed her aura to the surroundings.

The A-tier beast deity presence was intimidating, and it was suffocating for those who were around.

Bai Li and Qin Feng were not wearing their badges, but their capabilities were deeply felt during their battle. With their surprising young age, the others totally did not expect Bai Li to have such powerful capabilities.

Also, the beast deity presence was overwhelming and extremely horrifying, for some of them, it was a once in a lifetime encounter with such an oppressing aura. Some could not even identify that Bai Li was a humanoid ultra beast!

Bai Li was carrying a huge bunch of fruits, she immediately grabbed some for Qin Feng, as if those were not extremely valuable fruits, and were just a bunch of peanuts.

Qin Feng was between laughter and tears.

"These are from the Ancient Wisdom Tree, take all of them, perhaps they don't suit me!" Actually, as long as the fruits from the Ancient Wisdom Tree were not forcefully taken, they could still be distributed to others.

It was the reason that drove the intention of the others to plunder.

"This is a lot; we can share them in half!"

"You can have all of them, if I want them, I will get them by myself!" Qin Feng reaffirmed.

Although Bai Li was indeed powerful, Qin Feng did not feel that his talent would not be on par with hers.

Also, Bai Li's fruitful encounter had calmed Qin Feng down, he was no longer feeling fussy, instead, he had another idea.

When Qin Feng insisted, she was aware of his intentions. Therefore, she took back those Sage Fruits and kept the excess in her space to save some for Qin Feng. She then began to consume some of the remaining fruits.

Fruits that were cultivated from the powerful plant were extremely delicious. Bai Li squinted her fox eyes as she enjoyed eating the fruits, while the others could only stare with jealousy and hatred.

But they were afraid of provoking Bai Li, from the aura that was released by her earlier, they felt that she was even more horrifying than Mohrian.

Bai Li was certainly done with her practice, Qin Feng sat down cross-legged again, his second attempt was not to practice on ancient warrior skills.

Qin Feng took out a spatial rune equipment from the Battlegod Tomb.

Then, he took out several other books made from beast leather.

The moisturized air was easily sensed from the surrounding, those beast leathers were all infused by the color blue.

All of those were collected by Xue Xingfu under Qin Feng's orders, it was after Qin Feng had obtained the Sacred Water Meteor.

With Xue Xingfu's network and connections, unless the requested item to exchange for was an A-tier resource, otherwise he could just easily buy over any B-tier battle skill abilities with money.

Qin Feng was not lacking in runes, he just needed the rune arrangements to be used for his abilities.

"The art of meditation!"

The surroundings had vanished, only the consciousness realm was left behind, while the abilities within Qin Feng's hand were lit up by the glowing runes.

"Ability, absorb!"

Those water runes were all devoured by Qin Feng, most of those were owned by him.

They gradually aligned themselves within Qin Feng's consciousness realm and were imprinted onto his consciousness starglobe.

"Water Shield"

"Blue Waves City Shield"

"Billow Strike"

"Tsunami Strike"

"Hydro Dragon Strike"

"Hydro Wall"

The number of abilities was growing, and Qin Feng was picking up those abilities at jaw-dropping speed.

Especially for the Hydro Wall, being an extremely powerful A-tier ability, it would at least take a B-tier aptitude user years to master, but Qin Feng's absorption had merged them into his consciousness starglobe.

As soon as the last absorption was completed, Qin Feng sensed something and opened his eyes.

Meanwhile, there were already three Sage Fruits that had appeared before him.

The moment he opened his eyes, the fruits descended into his hands!

With the shocking number of fifty fruits obtained by Bai Li, Qin Feng's three fruits seemed very little, but Qin Feng was satisfied with it.

To think about it, the Ancient Wisdom Tree was actually distributing accordingly. Bai Li was a massively sized spatial beast, while Qin Feng was just a human, and three Sage Fruits would already be sufficient!

Qin Feng was very grateful too.

Knowing that he had spent four hours earlier, Qin Feng was in discontent and felt that he might not have luck in his favour. As soon as he was rewarded with three Sage Fruits, he was definitely satisfied with it!

As for Liu Hang who was beside Qin Feng and Bai Li, it was the toughest moment for him to witness.

One of them was granted with fifty Sage Fruits from the Ancient Wisdom Tree, while the other one was granted with three. Although it was not much, it was still an encounter that the others had been yearning for!

Therefore, Liu Hang was offended by the both of them!

The threat from such enemies would definitely stir up their opponents, wondering if both of them would crush them any time they wanted.

Liu Hang wanted to leave silently but he recalled Qin Feng's statement, he did not dare to make a move!

The situation was best described as both ways leading to a dead end, there were no viable options at all!

However, Qin Feng was only teasing him. Actually, he did not even care about his presence, he was just being paranoid about it!

Meanwhile, Qin Feng began to consume the first Sage Fruit!

Chapter 761: A True Quad Ability User

The translucent Sage Fruit was actually very rigid and hard, but as soon as it was placed into the mouth, transformation of energy instantly took place and circulated to Qin Feng's entire body.

Energy entered into Qin Feng's body and rushed to his mind, like he was led through void spaces and arrived at a consciousness realm.

Furthermore, the core of the Sage Fruit did not transform into energy. It turned into a small-sized diamond, merging with the Sacred Water Meteor and circling around Qin Feng's consciousness starglobe.

It had formed into a companion star!

In the next moment, it was like Qin Feng had instantly known the usage of the starglobe.

Water runes flew out from Qin Feng's Diamond Starglobe, merged with the small-sized diamond starglobe, and slowly turned into a fiery red starglobe.

It was a pure and simplified sensation. Qin Feng felt that when his consciousness was focusing on the starglobe, he would then be a true fire ability user.

"Dual ability user, dual consciousness core, so this is it!"

It was the same as Qin Feng's explanation earlier, the most effective outcome from consuming Sage Fruits would be mastering dual ability usage.

Although Qin Feng originally owned the fire ability, being a dark ability user himself, mastering and usage of the fire ability were still not refined enough. He had merely benefited from the variety of ability runes that he owned.

However, he had truly grasped the essence of mastering fire abilities.

It was at that moment, Qin Feng was prompted by an urge, he swallowed the remaining two Sage Fruits.

All of a sudden, two diamonds then rushed into Qin Feng's mind.

Then, water runes were merged into one of the small-sized diamonds!

The Sacred Water Meteor seemed to have felt something, it then swished toward the blue companion star.

Qin Feng's water rune ability was enhanced by the Sacred Water Meteor and spiked tenfold!

Then, some of the remaining earth runes landed onto another diamond companion star.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng's largest diamond starglobe was left in pure black color.

It was accompanied by three companion stars revolving around it!

Not only was it an ability realization, with sufficient consciousness, Qin Feng could even release various energy simultaneously. If they did not repel, he could establish dual fields, triple fields, or even quad fields.

It had definitely raised Qin Feng's capabilities, and his abilities were most probably not far from his ancient warrior skills!

Quad ability user!

Qin Feng was still indulging within the consciousness realm, but the others were already feeling a horrifying and suppressing aura from him. All of them were struck dumb.

They were even more shocked when they realized Qin Feng and Bai Li's age, some of them knew that they were from the Human Alliance.

"Isn't he the newly promoted general from the Northern Region?"

"Seems like another powerful figure from the Northern Region has risen, with such capabilities, combined with the favour from the Ancient Wisdom Tree, his future will be filled with endless possibilities!"

"Qin Feng, Bai Li, the Fengli Organization, this is the rise of a new influence. However, I am just a B-tier aptitude user, am I even qualified to join them?"

"If I were to invest in Qin Feng's organization, would he accept the patronage?!"

All of them were driven by their selfish thoughts, prioritizing their own benefits, and none of them realized that Qin Feng was no longer interested in dealing with the B-tier aptitude users. Why would he even care about funding from the A-tier aptitude users? Was that a joke?

Qin Feng 's organization was raking in fortunes every day; how could those people even comprehend?

Most importantly, the main reason was Qin Feng's overwhelming individual capability!

A night of practice had passed. During the day, perhaps it was due to the lights, fruits on the Ancient Wisdom Tree were no longer glowing. Noises began to fill the surroundings, everyone was no longer focusing on their practices, and all of them went out for ultra beast hunting.

All of those were resources that could not be found on earth, but at the same time, the environment was much more unexpected and dangerous than the Earth.

Also, most of them would not move too far away, their main focus was the Ancient Wisdom Tree. Their second priority was to plunder spirit herbs and fruits, and engaging in battle would be their last resort.

Qin Feng had a totally different set of priorities.

After the besiege of the mammoths yesterday, Qin Feng had killed their tribe and regenerated himself with the absorbed energy. If the same number of mammoths were to come again, Qin Feng would then be able to advance to B4-tier!

Qin Feng had only been at B3-tier for a short while, and he was about to advance further, it was all because of the densely populated ultra beast at Hell Island.

Under such circumstances, Qin Feng carried on with hunting, the bloody smell on his body continued to intensity and it became unwashable.

One day, two days…

Ten days, twenty days…

Qin Feng could no longer keep count of his ultra beast kills, it was an endless slaughter.

Regardless of physical state or consciousness, he was about to arrive at a point of breakthrough.

However, there were only three days left before he had to leave Hell Island!

***

In the dead of night, under the Ancient Warrior Tree, everyone was focused on practicing.

Ever since Qin Feng and Bai Li had obtained such a great number of Sage Fruits, the practicing scene under the Ancient Wisdom Tree had resumed to its normal state. Only one person would be favoured by the Ancient Wisdom Tree and awarded with the Sage Fruit every three to four days.

Two of those awarded B-tiers were even killed directly and their fruits were plundered.

Qin Feng and Bai Li were not rewarded with fruits anymore. However, by practicing under the Ancient Wisdom Tree, it had allowed them to fulfil their sense of connecting to their entire mind.

New abilities were constantly mastered by Qin Feng. Other than water abilities, he had even absorbed some mammoth cores that were then accumulated into earth runes, allowing him to master Earth Dragon.

However, both Earth Spike and Meteorite Fall of the Earth Wall required more earth elements.

It was during Qin Feng's research on the earth runes, a beast growling echoed from the dark.

The growling was too powerful, echoed from afar, but its penetrating sound was still easily noticeable.

Dragon growl!

"This, this is Mohrian's sound!"

"Sounds very angry!"

"Could it be someone who has gone to kill Mohrian?"

"Who would be that bold, tired of living?"

Everyone stood up and discontinued their practice, they then looked in the direction of Mohrian's spot.

Some of them had already gone toward it, some of them were still hesitating and were a little worried.

Meanwhile, people from Dusk Dragon that were being tasked to station at Hell Island were also alerted, including Fire Phoenix who had come along.

"What is happening? Who is provoking Mohrian, is the person tired of living? Even with the establishment of a contract, those who invade into Mohrian's territory will still be killed!"

Fire Phoenix was about to go toward the volcano. At that moment, there was already an unexpected fiery red dot that had appeared at the edge of the sky.

Then, the red dot moved closer and closer.

Fire Phoenix realized that the situation had gone bad, even as a fire ability user, her forehead was surprisingly sweating.

The red dot was growing bigger, expanding across the sky, and it was Mohrian.

Qin Feng immediately activated his consciousness and identified a shadow that was below Mohrian that was flying.

It was the familiar Phantom Shift, sprinting toward the mountain's stronghold at high speed.

It was Guan Jinhau!

Chapter 762: Desperate Guan Jinhau

"Roar!!!"

The Fire Dragon Mohrian let out an enraged roar, lifted up its skull, and suddenly spurted forward.

A horrifying flame pillar was spurted out, aimed toward the forest down below, and everything was engulfed in blazing flames.

Amid the flames, countless numbers of shadows were drowned, but Guan Jinhau seemed to have some special methods that allowed him to dodge the attack from the Fire Dragon Mohrian.

They were getting closer.

Guan Jinhau panicked as he was unable to get rid of the attacks from the Fire Dragon Mohrian. It had left him no choice but to run in the direction of the crowd.

He was about to get everyone involved in the dire situation. Furthermore, even Dusk Dragon would be drawn into it, which would then secure his own safety.

But it was still unknown whether Guan Jinhau would put himself into another trouble with them!

Why would Guan Jinhau care?

Everyone had their own scruples, but when faced against one of the most powerful killers, Guan Jinhau had definitely ignored such concerns!

Meanwhile, Fire Phoenix had realized the unusual situation, and immediately activated a protective barrier for the entire mountain's stronghold!

The Fire Dragon Mohrian was almost within reach, its wings were flapping on the sky like a gigantic fireball. Despite having the insulation of the protective barrier, the blazing heat could still be felt, even the barrier was rippling, and energy was draining fast!

"Mohrian, what are you doing?! Have you forgotten about our contract?" Fire Phoenix immediately channelled her message via consciousness.

Meanwhile, Mohrian let out a raging roar and snarled furiously with its consciousness, "Disgusting, how dare you say that I have forgotten about the contract, my treasure was stolen by humans!"

Fire Phoenix immediately understood the situation and knew who Mohrian was referring to.

It was not only Qin Feng that had noticed Guan Jinhau.

Some of the others also knew who he was.

"He is insane!"

"Ridiculously bold!"

"Guan Jinhau, you are planning to drag us all into this!"

Fire Phoenix was choking with anger, but could only channel across her message with consciousness to calm Mohrian down!

"This human is not one of us, if he has stolen from you, we will definitely get him and hand him over to you!"

It was just a piece of cake to get Guan Jinhau, the key was to buy time and perhaps wait until the S-tier aptitude user's arrival to take over the situation.

However, being a beast deity, the Fire Dragon Mohrian was mighty and powerful, how likely would it be calmed down with just several sentences from Fire Phoenix?

"All of you are provoking me!"

Mohrian roared in rage, not holding back anymore. It did not care to continue to listen to Fire Phoenix's explanations, and a dragon breath was immediately spurted out.

Horrifying magma exploded instantly, blasting through Dusk Dragon's protection.

The shrouding flames were coming from all directions!

It would certainly not harm the Ancient Wisdom Tree, but similarly, the Ancient Wisdom Tree would also not provide any shelter to those people.

Hence, all of the aptitude users began to escape!

The Fire Dragon Mohrian descended from the sky. Its flapping wings were like tornados, blowing away B-tiers that had lower capabilities, slamming them onto rocky mountains. Their bones were crushed, not having any chance to fight against it.

The Fire Dragon Mohrian was a beast deity, it was impossible for any of them to resist.

Qin Feng did not wish to get involved with the mighty creature either, his main concern was to not reveal Bai Li's capabilities in front of those people.

But as Qin Feng intended to leave, some of them stopped him from doing so!

As the protective barrier was destroyed, Guan Jinhau was once again targeted by Mohrian. A great angered roar was heard, with oppressing and mighty fire runes, Guan Jinhau had no choice but to reveal himself. Surprisingly, he was right beside Qin Feng.

Mohrian did not even hesitate for a bit and spurted out a fire beam!

The fire beam would definitely harm the innocent others, Qin Feng knew that he could no longer dodge from it.

"Water Screen!"

Qin Feng raised his hand, a thickened pool of water appeared in the sky and continued to extend upward. It had safely protected Qin Feng from the hysterical fire pillar that was spurted toward him, the Water Screen acted as a shield while the attacks from both sides neutralized each other and formed into mists.

The entire Dusk Dragon's stronghold was covered by the thick and misty fog.

Under the misty fog, Qin Feng activated his Phantom Shift and escaped.

Surprisingly, Guan Jinhau was also following Qin Feng's escape.

Despite being blurred from getting a clear view, the Fire Dragon managed to focus its consciousness from behind and continued to target Guan Jinhau, and it was certainly still in pursuit of him.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng signalled his bloodlust from his eyes.

"If you continue following me, I will kill you!" Qin Feng threatened via his consciousness.

Guan Jinhau panicked and would resort to any method that would help with his escape. Surprisingly, he had even hinted for help from his consciousness.

"President Qin, Elder Qin, please help me, just once, those items that I have gotten, you want half of them?" Guan Jinhau made an offer.

Actually, Guan Jinhau had pulled out a sly move, he knew that Qin Feng alone would not be able to save him, and Bai Li's capability would be able to fill the gap.

From the previous battle, if it was not because of Bai Li, he would not have been caught in such a difficult situation, Guan Jinhau knew clearly about Bai Li's ability.

Spatial ability!

If Bai Li were to lead his escape, would it not be a piece of cake to get rid of the pursuit from Mohrian?

Now, Guan Jinhau could only pray for Qin Feng to fall for the lure!

Obviously, Qin Feng was a little interested in Mohrian's treasure.

"What have you actually gotten from it?!" Qin Feng asked.

"What else? From Mohrian's daily hunting, there were leftover crystal core corpses, sharpened horn and fangs, furs and scales. It is impossible for Mohrian to eat all of those! I have only taken a little from the Fire Dragon, it was all piled up into a mountain of trash! Who knew it would result in such great chaos?!"

He was definitely trying his luck, knowing that even humans who stepped into the mountains or were accidentally found by Mohrian during its hunts would certainly be annihilated. Not to mention, his intrusive move to set foot into the main lair was definitely him playing with fire, and it was ridiculously bold!

"How much have you taken?"

"Not much, only…only about thirty crystal cores!" Of course he would aim for the most valuable ones, thirty crystal cores varied in A and B-tiers, all of those were beast king or beast emperor cores that would cost a fortune.

Meaning to say, if Guan Jinhau were to succeed, those thirty A-tier beast emperor cores would be worth four hundred and fifty billion power credits, even after incurring the cost of his god weapon dagger, he would still have remaining balance from it!

Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, "I believe the actual number is much more than this!"

"No, that's all I have!" Guan Jinhau immediately explained.

"Well, then I will have all thirty of them!"

Guan Jinhau opened his eyes wide, to him, Qin Feng was definitely asking for too much.

It was at that moment, the Fire Dragon Mohrian managed to catch up with them, it extended its sharpened claw and swiped toward the three of them.

They were escaping extremely fast, within several consciousness communication exchanges, they had already escaped for more than a thousand meters.

Crack!

A mountain top took the hit from the claw and collapsed, and Guan Jinhau narrowly escaped it.

"Ah, agree, I agree!" Guan Jinhau immediately sealed the deal.

Qin Feng was swift and effortless with his dodging from the collapse.

"Hand over the items!"

Guan Jinhau had no choice but to take out a rune equipment with the items contained within it, and tossed it over to Qin Feng.

Chapter 763: The Furious Mohrian

Qin Feng took a brief look and confirmed that he received thirty crystal cores. However, there were only twenty B-tier beast king and ten A-tier beast king crystal cores—in other words, Guan Jinhau had definitely kept the really good stuff. These crystal cores that he received were worth only 11 billion power credits.

Still, 11 billion credits were enough to ask him to save his life.

Meanwhile, Mohrian was really pissed.

Mohrian was not some low-level, unintelligent beast. It had lived for a really long time that seemed like eons to humans. Not only that, it had also made a pact with an S-tier ability user. Sometimes, when it was bored, Mohrian would even observe humanity with keen interest.

Not only that, Qin Feng and Guan Jinhau were negotiating and talking via their consciousness. This meant that this made it even easier for Mohrian to understand what they were talking about.

And these two puny humans were discussing splitting the loot! The loot that it spent a really long time gathering. Even though these things, like what Guan Jinhau said, were littered around like garbage, taking these things away from it was still stealing! This was a direct taunt toward this beast deity.

This was why Mohrian was pissed. Really pissed!

Besides, Qin Feng was using Phantom Shift too. Mohrian felt that since they were using the same weird martial arts, these two humans were definitely on the same team!

"Roaar!!"

Mohrian's loud, furious roar rocked a huge wave of conscious tremors toward Qin Feng and Guan Jinhau.

"I'll shred you to pieces!" Mohrian barked.

Right now, they had travelled across several mountains—they were now quite far away from Dusk Dragon's stronghold. The ultra beasts in the area were fleeing and hiding after sensing Mohrian's presence.

"Argh! It's coming! It's coming, President Qin! We have to run!" Guan Jinhau cried.

"Okay. Go on. You run." Qin Feng replied.

Guan Jinhau thought that Qin Feng intended to leave him behind, going against their deal. However, he then saw Qin Feng and Bai Li turn and face Mohrian.

Guan Jinhau widened his eyes in disbelief.

'This guy… the president of the Fengli Organization… is he nuts? Even though he has received payment from me, there is no need for him to risk his life to make sure I can escape from this… right?' Guan Jinhau thought to himself.

In Guan Jinhau's world, everything revolved around money. Everything was business; nothing was personal. This made him a really materialistic man throughout his life.

However, right now he felt a fling of shame.

He had never seen someone sticking to a deal like Qin Feng. This man was very professional!

Then, Guan Jinhau shook his head and reminded himself to be more rational.

Qin Feng did not intend to throw away his life to save his. No. This man was actually confident that he could take on Mohrian!

Meanwhile, Qin Feng's conscious energy was heightened to a terrifying scale! Then, he unleashed two abilities at the same time!

"Apocalypse Bloom!"

"Hydro Wall!"

As the Apocalypse Bloom slowly descended from the sky, Hydro Wall burst up from the ground below! The former was capable of weakening and speeding up the aging process of any living creature it touched; the latter, on the other hand, was able to form a massive ocean in a matter of minutes, drowning everything that it covered.

Thus, Mohrian was attacked by two abilities at the same time!

Instinctively, Mohrian tried to avoid the water and flew straight to the sky.

However, as it rose to the sky, the Apocalypse Bloom's petals fell on its body and put out several flames that were raging on its body.

"Roarr!!"

The fire dragon immediately recognized what this flower was. He had lived side by side with a black dragon before on that island.

This was dark ability!

Still, Mohrian was pretty strong. It had one of the sturdiest bodies alive on the planet! Thus, the petals had only done some damage to it and only lowered its powers by a few levels.

Still, de-buffing the dragon this way would allow Qin Feng to fight it head on. Qin Feng was still a B3-tier ability user—so, he needed Mohrian to be depowered.

Still, the real threat was not Qin Feng—it was Bai Li.

Seeing that Mohrian's movement had slowed down, Bai Li quickly unleashed her powers.

"Spatial Crush!"

She did not opt to use her spatial abilities to trap the dragon because there was no need to. Bai Li's abilities were as powerful as an A-tier's.

In an instant, several beams of silver rays flashed at Mohrian's wings, tearing open the dimension around it.

Mohrian had never experienced or seen this kind of power before. Still, having lived for such a long time, it was able to tell that these silver rays were quite dangerous even to it.

Mohrian wanted to evade the silver rays but its body was too big.

When it flapped its gigantic wings, they even got stuck into the splintered dimensional cracks in the air.

"Aarrgh roaar!!!!"

Mohrian let out an excruciating cry.

Its wings were completely pierced, resulting in its scales being cut out, falling down to the ground.

And that was not all, as it fell down, Mohrian dropped straight into Qin Feng's Hydro Wall.

"Splash!!"

"Psssssst!!!!!"

As Mohrian dropped into the water, the flames on its body touched and burned the liquid around them, turning them into vapors and steam.

Naturally, Qin Feng would not let this chance slide!

"Oceanic Whirlpool!"

A huge whirlpool formed immediately in the middle of the Hydro Wall. As the water spun rapidly, the huge force within the waters was able to rip any living creature apart.

Bai Li, of course, would join in with another attack.

Slash!

Bai Li's Chiliad Orb spun around before forming multiple dimensional cracks within the Hydro Wall. Now, the whirlpool was no different than a deadly shredder.

In just seconds, Mohrian's massive body was cut over thousands of times, leaving countless wounds on its flesh. Not even its steel-like scales were able to withstand such punishment.

In a few minutes, the originally blue Hydro Wall had been dyed red.

The Hydro Wall was now soaked in dragon blood!

Guan Jinhau gawked at what was happening in front of him in disbelief.

"No way… they're trying to kill Mohrian… they're trying to kill a beast deity?!"

Of course, being a beast deity, Mohrian was no pushover.

After sensing that if this kept on, it would definitely die from this, Mohrian let out a furious roar before morphing its body into a smaller size.

Its gigantic body was now basically a hindrance when facing Qin Feng and Bai Li's attacks. As such, it decided to make its own size smaller. By doing that, Mohrian could dodge these pesky dimensional cracks. After all, despite how deadly they were, these dimensional cracks were stationary—making it rather easy to evade when its body was not gigantic.

A minute later, Mohrian looked completely different from before—it had now become a three-meter tall humanoid with dragon-like features. Its body was covered in crimson red scales while still keeping its dragon horns and tail. Despite being a humanoid, its legs were still bending forward like how they were when it was a full size dragon; however, its front legs had morphed into a pair of muscular arms, armed with steely fingernails that were at least twenty centimeters in length and could cut anything to pieces with ease.

Chapter 764: Senseless Battle

Booom!!

Mohrian instantly exploded its terrifying presence and zoomed out of the Hydro Wall!

"Roar!!"

"Human! Spatial brat! You two need to die!!"

Mohrian's consciousness roared out agitatedly. After turning smaller, Mohrian's wrathful powers were condensed in his new humanoid size. This in turn made his offensive and defensive capabilities tenfold stronger than how he was earlier.

The human-size Mohrian was basically like a miniature nuclear missile.

"Roaaar!!!"

After another deafening roar, Mohrian dashed forward and tried to body slam Qin Feng.

"Boooom!!"

Qin Feng's internal energy shield was crushed completely the moment he willed it out. Then, Mohrian's steely body struck straight at Qin Feng's body.

Qin Feng instinctively activated his Asteroid Assimilation. Even though he had gotten powers that were ten times stronger than the other ability users of his tier due to the use of Asteroid Assimilation, Qin Feng still retained the experience that he had from his previous life.

And during that life, Qin Feng had to adopt risky fighting methods and not utilize internal energy shields—instead, he kept on fighting and absorbing his enemies' powers mid-fight to stay alive. As long as he could kill his foe and absorb their powers quickly, no matter how bad his wounds were, he could always recover from them.

As such, right after his internal energy shield was destroyed, his body instinctively used the old strategies that it was used to.

And thus, all his internal energy and conscious energy were activated at the same time, hardening his body the moment his and Mohrian's bodies crashed together.

Qin Feng's body was now as strong and as inhuman as an ultra beast's—thanks to his extreme training methods.

Thus, right now, his body was able to withstand this impact!

"Roarr!!"

Mohrian roared out angrily again. It could not believe that this puny human could withstand its attack.

As such, it launched another body slam at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, too was provoked. It had been so long since he got the chance to brawl fist to fist like this. Therefore, even though his body was still aching from the impact, Qin Feng was quite eager to take Mohrian on.

Boom!!

Boooom!!!

Crack!! Boooom!!!

Two of them kept ramming at each other, again and again. The sounds and noises that came from the impacts were quite unbearable. One would feel the pain that Qin Feng must have felt after hearing this.

Of course, no matter how strong Qin Feng was at the time, he was still a B3-tier human. There was no way he could win a beast deity head on.

After several body slams, Qin Feng started to cough out blood. Thankfully, he still had plenty of internal energy to guard his organs. Or else, every single internal organ in his body would now have become mushed from all the impacts.

Still, Qin Feng was not alone. He still had Bai Li by his side. After observing for a moment, Bai Li realized that Qin Feng was no match against Mohrian. Thus, she quickly waved her Chiliad Orb and trapped Mohrian.

"Spatial Compression!"

The dimensional energies that were trapping Mohrian started to shrink and press it down. If Mohrian could not free itself soon, it would be completely pressed into a piece of meat pie!

Raising its head, Mohrian let out a long howl to summon a dominating fire attack, crushing the silver spatial rays that were chaining its body.

When it was finally free of Bai Li's control, Mohrian saw that Qin Feng was hurling his water abilities at it again.

Then, the fight kept on the same way like a cycle, with dark, fire, water and spatial runes colliding again and again in the battle. Every place that they went had all been turned into ashened, barren lands.

Trees were completely burned.

Oceans were completely vaporized.

Dark runes devoured everything in their path.

And spatial runes had torn everything around them like cutting through butter.

This terrifying battle had been going on for three whopping hours!

Guan Jinhau, who was looking on the sideline, could feel that his internal energy was almost dried up from defending the lingering shockwaves that passed through him during these three long hours. And yet, Mohrian, Qin Feng and Bai Li still kept on fighting, seemingly still having a lot of energy in them.

Of course, unbeknownst to Guan Jinhau, three of them were starting to feel weary from this drawn-out, senseless battle.

Mohrian seemed to have gotten a bit exhausted from unleashing so much power in the last few hours.

Bai Li's clothes were still intact, thanks to her spatial abilities; however, her hair was somewhat messy from the scuffle. Even her high heels were blown away an hour ago.

Qin Feng's Sacred Armor was also severely damaged. Not only that, he had already used up a lot of rune equipment from his pocket dimension to heal his wounds.

And after head-butting Qin Feng so many times, Mohrian's anger was now somewhat diminished too.

Still, Mohrian was a prideful dragon. Its pride would not allow it to just let these people go. It should at least hurt them a little to teach them a lesson.

Thus, Mohrian's consciousness locked onto Bai Li.

Even though it would take some effort, the beast deity was more than capable of killing Qin Feng. However, Bai Li was there to defend the young man. And when it wanted to attack this little fox, Bai Li would use her spatial powers to flee away for a brief few seconds before re-joining the battle.

However, this gave Mohrian some idea. Thus, it started to launch its powerful strikes again.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already expended a lot of his internal energy. He had also swallowed a lot of pills to recover his internal energy. Yet, when he was still recovering, Mohrian was striking at him feverishly.

This resulted in him continuously backing away, trying to evade the fire dragon's attacks.

When Bai Li saw this, she quickly dashed forward to protect him. However, it was then that Mohrian turned and attacked her.

Its attack was lightning fast.

Bai Li wanted to teleport away to evade the attack. However, she was worried that if she did that Mohrian would turn and continue attacking Qin Feng. Without her being there to protect him, Qin Feng could very well be struck down by this beast deity.

As such, Bai Li decided to not evade this attack.

"Spatial Pallisade!"

Bai Li raised her hand and summoned a wall of spatial energy in front of her.

Mohrian was fed up with toying around with these two. As such, it fiercely slashed open Bai Li's Spatial Pallisade with its steel claws and fire runes! Due to its height, Mohrian's claw was slashing straight at Bai Li's head!

"Bai Li, run!!" Qin Feng cried out loudly.

Still, even if she wanted to, there was no way Bai Li could evade this attack!

Right now, due to having just used her spatial runes, it would take too long for her to teleport away. As such, all that Bai Li could do now was to fly backward to attempt to evade Mohrian's claws.

In a split second, Bai Li's petite body was engulfed in flames; her silver hair started to burn as Mohrian's claws were inching closer to her face.

Suddenly, a surge of energy burst out from Qin Feng's body. A small black hole formed on his forehead before a sapphire darted out of it—it was the Sacred Water Meteor!

Splash!!

A tremendous number of water runes splashed on Mohrian's body!

The Sacred Water Meteor hit Mohrian before it was able to shred Bai Li to pieces!

Not only that, the meteor was able to attack the fire dragon at its core!

All that Mohrian remembered was it was knocked out hundreds of meters by waves after waves of water runes. Not only that, its own starglobe was flooded by the water runes too, putting out the flames that were burning on it.

This was not just a clash between the fire and water runes. It was like the water runes were wiping out its fire runes to nothingness as seconds went by!

The number of fire runes that Mohrian lost in that few seconds would require it to rest for at least a few hundred years to recover.

Realizing this, Mohrian was overwhelmed by shock and anger.

Chapter 765: An Opportunity to Get Rich in One Night

Three hours ago, Mohrian's anger toward the humans had been completely put out after such a long battle. The powerful strike earlier was supposed to be its final attempt at getting at Qin Feng and Bai Li; no matter if it succeeded or not, Mohrian had decided to stop after delivering that blow.

Yet now, Mohrian's anger was lit up again.

They had wounded its core. Now, this was personal!

On the other hand, Qin Feng too was quite angry too—he was angry at how powerless he was. He felt that he was too powerless to protect Bai Li.

And of course, he was quite angry at Mohrian too.

Qin Feng now felt that Bai Li was right. Killing this A-tier fire dragon was probably a good idea. If they could pull it off, he could acquire enough energy and power to ascend straight to A-tier.

Qin Feng's life thus far was paved with blood. As such, he might as well add this beast deity's blood to his collection!

Therefore, Qin Feng retracted his Sacred Water Meteor and infused his Verdant Emperor Saber with his internal energy before dashing straight at Mohrian!

Kill!

He must kill Mohrian!

Right now, the murderous intent that was fuming out of Qin Feng's presence was so overwhelming that it was terrifying to watch!

Seeing that Qin Feng had retracted his Sacred Water Meteor, Mohrian too felt that there was no need to pull punches anymore. The rage and anger that it was feeling were not less than what Qin Feng had.

Thus, the man and beast deity were clashing in the air yet again.

Qin Feng, Mohrian and Bai Li were the kind of creatures that could fight for several days without rest.

And thus they fought feverishly for three days!

The battle was so fierce that it had now brought them to a completely different region than where the Dusk Dragon's stronghold was at. Still, Qin Feng knew that sooner or later there could be some other humans that had detected their battle.

Still, he did not care now.

Right now, Qin Feng felt that his combat prowess was growing rapidly. This was not the kind of growth that he experienced through absorbing and digesting others' powers—this was the kind of growth when one was slowly mastering one's skills via actual practice!

Right now, Qin Feng was the weakest of the three in this battle—he was still a B3-tier ability user after all.

Thus, when Qin Feng's conscious energy was starting to run dry, he decided to switch his strategy and opted to use his internal energy to continue on fighting. After that, when his internal energy too was running low, Qin Feng switched to brawling head on with his own body.

If things got out of hand, he could still rely on his Sacred Water Meteor to perform a suicidal attack.

During these three days, Qin Feng's rune equipment, pills, crystal cores and ultra beasts' flesh were rapidly expended. His Sacred Armor too was now almost completely ruined.

Slash!!!

Pffft!

Seeing an opening, Mohrian swiped its claws at Qin Feng; as a response, Qin Feng instinctively activated his Phantom Shift and morphed into dozens of mirror image clones, dashing toward multiple directions.

As the clones were running, a carpet of fire enveloped all of them. This had caused them to vanish into thin air, leaving Qin Feng facing Mohrian alone again.

Not only that, Qin Feng's arm was wounded from the attack.

This meant that his Sacred Armor was completely crushed!

Seeing this, Bai Li instantly zipped to Qin Feng's side and activated her spatial powers. In a flash of silver light, both of them were teleported away.

Mohrian extended its claws and ripped a huge hole in the dimension in front of it. It was not a difficult feat for an A-tier beast deity to do this—it was now almost as powerful as an S-tier ability user.

Besides, this was not the first time Mohrian had to pull this trick to counter their teleportation—Qin Feng and Bai Li had done the same thing throughout their battle. Mohrian had to locate these two in the shortest time possible if it did not want to face a recovered Qin Feng.

This time, when it arrived to where they had gone to, Qin Feng had already slain a B3-tier beast general! The beast general's energy was being rapidly drained by Qin Feng, recovering his own energy. Not only that, as the beast's blood was slowly drying up, Qin Feng's wound was also healing rather quickly.

Qin Feng raised his head and saw Mohrian. Without hesitation, they rushed toward one another and started to fight again.

Qin Feng's body was not as tough as Mohrian's; so, it was quite difficult for him to withstand the dragon's powerful strikes over a long period of time. However, Qin Feng was wielding his Verdant Emperor Saber. This thing had cut open Mohrian's steely skin, making the dragon bleed multiple times throughout their fight. This had, in turn, resulted in Mohrian needing to tread lightly when taking on Qin Feng.

As such, even if its physical capabilities were tenfold stronger than Qin Feng's, Mohrian was not able to get an upper hand.

Right now, Mohrian's body was covered in a layer of dark red. This was not the color of the fire dragon's shiny red scales—it was the color of a mix of solidified blood and mud!

This long battle was still a tie after being drawn out for three days!

Mohrian let out a loud, furious roar again.

This time, Qin Feng could sense that its anger was not directed toward him. It was, instead, directed at someone else.

Then, in the next second, Mohrian slashed open a dimensional hole and squeezed through it.

"What's going on…? Is it running?" Qin Feng frowned. Despite saying this, he could still sense that something was off.

The dragon still had vigor in it. As such, it was quite unbelievable to see it running away at this moment.

"Should we follow it?" Bai Li asked.

The silver fox's lovely eyes were clouded with exhaustion. From the moment of her birth until today, Bai Li had never had to fight something so hard before.

Still, Bai Li was able to grow a lot from this three-day battle too. It felt as though she was baptized by this ferocious battle!

"Yeah, let's see what's up."

Qin Feng was not sure if he could still slay Mohrian. However, he was curious to find out what was going on.

Bai Li was able to locate Mohrian the same way it did to them earlier. This was, in fact, much easier for her because she had a natural aptitude for spatial abilities.

In a leap, both of them saw that they were now in a different location. There were no clouds, no sky. Just red. Just dark, red light everywhere they looked.

Squinting for a short moment to get his eyes accustomed to the new environment's light, Qin Feng found that he was in a place filled with fire-type minerals around him. This was the kind of minerals where powerful fire-type ultra beasts lived.

Qin Feng had never been here before but he could easily tell where this was—it was Mohrian's lair.

Mohrian's lair was within a cave of an extinct volcano—there was no lava, only fire-type minerals within it. When he raised his head, he could see that the cave's ceiling was so high up that he felt that he was a little frog trying to measure how high the sky was.

Suddenly, they could hear fearful cries from within the lair. It was the cries of terrified humans.

"Moh… Mohrian! It's the beast deity Mohrian!"

"He's back!"

"Run! Mohrian's back! Run for your lives!"

In a brief glance, Qin Feng was able to recognize who these ability users were.

They were the same group of people who were visiting Hell Island. It did not take long for Qin Feng to guess the reason these people were lurking in Mohrian's lair.

Mohrian was fighting him for three whopping days. This meant that its lair was unguarded during this whole time too. Therefore, it was quite natural for these people to come and try to loot something from it.

Of course, they were not sure that Qin Feng could slay Mohrian. However, this was the day that they were going to leave the island. As such, they thought that they could try their luck at its lair before they left.

This was an opportunity to get rich in just one night!

Still, they had underestimated Mohrian.

The beast deity could detect Guan Jinhau despite him being a master of stealth. And Guan Jinhau himself was not gutsy enough to actually step into Mohrian's lair to steal something directly from it.

Therefore, it was quite easy for Mohrian to know someone was stepping into its home.

Now, these greedy fools had been found! They were doomed!

Chapter 766: Audacious Thieves

Although Mohrian was not able to defeat Qin Feng, it was more than capable of slaying these people.

The fire dragon dashed around in the cave and rammed several A-tiers to the air, crushing their internal energy shields to pieces. Without the protection of their internal energy, these people were sent flying to the air with blood gushing out of their mouths!

Then, Mohrian clawed at one of the ability users' head.

"Argh!!"

The ability user let out a fearful cry as his internal energy burst forth, intending to defend against the dragon's attack. Yet, this was all a futile attempt.

Pfft!

His head was completely crushed as mushes of his brain splattered everywhere.

This A-tier was dead in that split second!

These A-tiers were strong. However, sometimes they had to face something much stronger than them. And when that happened, they were as weak as a rabbit.

Right now, they were rabbits when facing the furious Mohrian.

"Die!"

Mohrian roared feverishly as its body grew larger and larger, morphing back into its gigantic dragon form. It flapped its massive wings and blew these people off balance, causing them to fall down to the ground.

These people did not intend to stay here long. In fact, they had only just arrived too. In two hours, the Dusk Dragon Auction would have started. As such, they thought that they could get some valuable treasures to sell from this lair before it began.

When they stepped into the place, they saw that treasures were basically littered everywhere they looked.

There was a huge pile of treasures, like a small hill, in the middle—it was actually Mohrian's bed. These mortals viewed this as a mountain of treasures, a life-time of fortune; however, to Mohrian, these weaklings were trying to destroy its bed! It could not allow these puny humans to touch its bed!

Thus, it wanted to kill them all!

As he was watching the fire dragon massacring these greedy A-tiers, Qin Feng too lay his eyes on Mohrian's "treasure bed". This thing was so huge, meaning that there were several years' worth of treasures in it. If these people wanted to take these things with them, they might not even have the means to move them.

This was also why these people were fighting one another to the death to grab the crystal cores, the treasures that were much easier to carry home, when Mohrian arrived.

Nonetheless, these people were now slain by the dragon.

"Damn, I didn't think that while I was risking my life taking on this big fat dragon, these people were trying to take advantage of that." Qin Feng smirked.

To be frank, even if Qin Feng could not kill Mohrian, so long as he could drive the dragon away, these treasures in Mohrian's lair should all belong to him.

And these people intended to take advantage of him when he was doing all the hard work? There was no way he would allow that to happen. To add more, these people were from the Dark Coalition. This meant that he had even less incentives in caring about their well-being.

"Bai Li, collect all of them!"

"Okay!"

Bai Li eyed at the A-tier crystal cores—there were plenty of these things. These would satiate her appetite for a long time!

Whoosh!

In an instant, a hole appeared in the middle of the hill of treasures. Then, another appeared. And then another. It felt as though the treasure hill was being bitten off by a gigantic, invisible mouse.

In just a few blinks of an eye, they could see the bottom of the treasure hill.

Mohrian widened its eyes furiously. It was already back in its lair and yet someone still dared to steal from it?! How audacious of them?!

Right now, there was plenty of spatial rune equipment, left behind by those greedy A-tiers, lying around the lair. So, in the midst of chaos, Mohrian could not guess that the ones who were doing the stealing were Qin Feng and Bai Li, who had concealed their presence with dark- runes.

Overwhelmed by anger, Mohrian could not think straight anymore. All that it felt right now was that all these foolish, impudent humans needed to die!

"Roaaar!!!!"

Mohrian spread its wings and let out a deafening roar! Its roar then echoed in the cave again and again. The A-tiers felt as though they were battered by tides after tides of tsunami made of sound. Some boulders that were hanging on the cave's ceiling were even rocked down by the dragon's roar.

Then, they felt a powerful tremor on the ground.

Boooom!!

The ground was split open as hot, fiery lava burst out from underground, swallowing the A-tiers whole!

"Arghh!!"

Excruciating cries echoed in Mohrian's lair as the A-tiers tried to escape.

Seeing how chaotic it had become, Bai Li quickly used her spatial abilities to swallow another huge chunk of treasure before hiding under Qin Feng's internal energy shield.

After shielding Bai Li, Qin Feng willed out a layer of Fire Wall around them.

Then, in a few minutes, the lava had completely swallowed most of the thieves. Some of the more capable A-tiers were able to dashed straight to the entrance; the rest of them, the B-tiers and the less mindful A-tiers, were all dead.

Seeing that there were a few A-tiers who were able to escape from the lava, Mohrian flapped its wings and flew straight to the air. Then, it extended its fiery tongue and grabbed one of the A-tiers and hurled him into the lava before keeping on with chasing the others who had scattered around in panic.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, was able to detect something peculiar.

"This… This presence…?" Qin Feng quickly dove straight into the lava.

"Fiery Rampage!"

"Fiery Rampage!"

"Fiery Rampage!"

"Fiery Rampage!"

"Fiery Rampage!"

It was not easy to navigate in the lava. However, after mastering his fire abilities, Qin Feng was able to move around while carrying Bai Li with him. Both he and Bai Li were now enhanced creatures that could withstand great punishment; so, they were able to handle the lava's great heat.

Then, Qin Feng finally reached the "presence" that he detected earlier. Qin Feng recognized this thing the instant he saw it.

"Sacred Flame Meteor!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed when he saw it. He did not expect to see a second Sacred Flame Meteor!

"Absorb!"

Qin Feng activated his absorption ability without hesitation.

Whoosh!

The Sacred Flame Meteor was absorbed into his consciousness. This one was much smaller than what Shang Han gave him—its size was about the same as the Sacred Water Meteor that he had. Still, it was still a "Meteor" after all—it still contained a tremendous amount of power.

Qin Feng finally earned his prize from this adventure.

"Let's go!"

As Qin Feng rose to the surface, his consciousness was able to detect countless corpses floating around. Bai Li waved her hands and collected them into her pocket dimension—they could search these bodies and acquire some treasures from them.

A few minutes later, they were finally away from the lava.

Mohrian and the surviving A-tiers were all gone. However, they could still feel the fierce, raving presence of the dragon in the air. When they stepped out of the cave, they could see the forest outside engulfed in flames.

Qin Feng raised his head and sensed that Mohrian was heading toward the Dusk Dragon Auction.

"Those people were intending to lead this trouble straight to the auction. This time, they asked for it. No one can save them now." Qin Feng said to himself coldly.

Chapter 767: A Torn Spatial Tunnel

"What should we do now?" Bai Li asked.

Should they chase after the furious Mohrian, or run with the loot?

Qin Feng looked at the exhausted Bai Li with great concern, and he himself was no better. Mohrian is not a beast they could easily kill now.

They could defeat it, but it might require a great price to defeat the beast deity.

More so, Qin Feng would not have found out about the existence of the Sacred Flame Meteor if not because of the sudden intrusion. Mohrian had obviously been absorbing the runes from the stone all this time.

Mohrian could have faked a defeat and returned to its cave to lure in Qin Feng, then detonate the stone, like what Qin Feng had done to Z previously. No matter how powerful they were, Qin Feng and Bai Li would not be able to escape unscathed.

Their opponent was a beast deity that had lived a long life. It must still have a trick or two up its sleeves.

It was best not to pursue the beast if there was not a safe way to put it down quickly.

Under such consideration, Qin Feng said, "We should first return to the base of Dusk Dragon. It's time to return to the Black Citadel with them. We will have our chance against Mohrian in the future."

"Humph! That filthy dragon. I swear I will come back and skin him alive one day!" Bai Li echoed. She admitted what Qin Feng said about Mohrian when they first met was right.

Besides, neither side was able to gain an upper hand after battling for three straight days. It would be meaningless to keep the battle going.

"Let's go!" Qin Feng said.

Bai Li nodded and instantly teleported themselves into the Dusk Dragon stronghold.

Everyone knew that it was about time to return to the Black Citadel. They sized up the people around them, wondering whether a fight would break out on the bridge of Black Citadel at such a volatile moment.

The sudden appearance of Qin Feng and Bai Li caught everyone's attention. Complicated expressions were seen on everyone's faces when they recognized who had returned.

It was the couple that had lured Mohrian away earlier. It was miraculous that they were still alive, just looking a little battered.

The ability to escape Mohrian and return alive showed just how capable they were.

Qin Feng and Bai Li had returned by leaping through dimensions. Thus, they had arrived earlier than Mohrian and those courageous yet rash aptitude users.

Fire Phoenix was feeling uneasy. Her instinct told her something bad was about to happen. Regardless, she still opened up the fixated waymark as planned.

"Everyone, I hope that you have returned from a fruitful trip. The tunnel is opening soon."

Among the participants, some were being secretive and surveyed vigilantly. Some, who liked to boast, were acting jubilantly. They could not wait to return and tell everyone the fortune they had plundered from the island.

However, more were pulling a long face, with bloodshot and greed-imbued eyes. They had gained almost nothing from this trip, but would not be satisfied with leaving this place empty-handed. They were probably going to create havoc once they went past the tunnel.

No matter what their current state of mind was, most people had their eyes fixed on Fire Phoenix.

People from Dusk Dragon had set up the spatial tunnel that took the form of a ten-meter wide gate. Such a phenomenal presence could be seen from afar, which served as a notice for aptitude users around the island that time was almost up.

This was when a giant roar pierced their eardrums.

The crowd followed the direction of the roar reflexively and found more than ten aptitude users that were approaching fast in the sky. Behind them chased a daunting behemoth.

The fire draconic beast, Mohrian.

"Why has Mohrian returned?"

"Someone must have provoked it!"

"It's those who left earlier."

"Why are we still standing here? It's time to run!"

The aptitude users knew a disaster was imminent.

Previously, Qin Feng had helped them once by distracting Mohrain away. The same trick would not work the second time.

Moreover, no Dark Coalition member would care about others' life and death.

None of them ran the last time because they had no place to run to.

This time, the crowd did not hesitate and rushed toward the spatial tunnel.

Qin Feng reacted swiftly. He grabbed Bai Li's hand and entered the spatial tunnel in front of everyone using Phantom Shift.

After Qin Feng escaped through the spatial tunnel, the rest followed suit and swarmed through the gate.

Fire Phoenix was infuriated.

She did not understand why these people had not learned their lesson and kept provoking Mohrian again and again. In the end, they expected Dusk Dragon to wipe their ass. How ignorant!

However, it was impossible to terminate the spatial tunnel now.

"Go. Leave no one behind."

Members of Dusk Dragon knew that there was no other way. This stronghold was just a makeshift base constructed from wood. Their lives were way more valuable than that.

As such, they abandoned the base and passed through the spatial tunnel too.

The fleeing A-tiers were relieved to see the spatial tunnel. They scrambled through the tunnel, much like drowning men who have found a floating log.

The tunnel might be larger than normal but the gigantic Mohrian could not get through it.

It would bar Mohrian and stop his pursuit.

Besides, Mohrian had no idea where the tunnel led to. Due to different conditions, certain creatures that dominate their original dimension might become powerless when in a foreign world.

However, Mohrian was exasperated.

Slash!

His claws ripped the atmosphere apart and forcefully tore the spatial tunnel, creating a rift.

The rift startled the beasts around Hell Island. The aura that flowed in from the other side of the rift was fresh and alluring.

Behind Mohrain, many beasts had run up the mountain too.

Qin Feng was the first to reach Black Citadel.

This was not where they first entered Hell Island. They came out to a rural zone outside the Black Citadel. It was actually not very far from the bridge.

Qin Feng looked up and realized they were still within the space stabilizing apparatus. They could not return to Fengli City immediately using a spatial waymark.

Of course, such a rule did not apply to Bai Li.

Many A-tiers came out from the tunnel behind them and fled in fear. They had all seen Mohrian from close range.

Qin Feng did not return to Fengli City immediately. He led Bai Li to leave the area.

The last batch of aptitude users had emerged too.

They were in an even more dire situation. Burnt marks could be seen all around their bodies. They suffered injuries when being pursued by the draconic beast.

When they rejoiced for finally being safe, a distorted rift came crashing through the tunnel behind them.

Slash!

It was as if the sky had been ripped in half. The spatial tunnel instantly turned into a hundred-meter-high rift.

Argh!

An A-tier that just came through the rift was immediately shredded into pieces.

Chapter 768: Massacre

A hideous draconic head extended out from the rift. The aura of a beast deity had arrived!

The participants were used to the presence of the beasts in Hell Island after spending considerable time there. But when the alien force perturbed the earth's atmosphere, residents around the area were deeply agitated.

As a prosperous city, Black Citadel was densely populated. Numerous commoners inside the city made a living by serving aptitude users, making this an ideal land for aptitude users to call home.

However, not all aptitude users in Black Citadel were A-tier users. More users fell in the C-tier or D-tier ranges. The power distribution here was actually similar to that of Dragon Capital, with each influential family having its own A-tiers. Still, the number of A-tiers would not exceed a thousand.

How big a threat was the beast deity to the citadel in such a circumstance?

The daunting pressure of the beast suffocated the entire island.

[Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!]

Ear-piercing alarms began to ring non-stop. Commoners could not withstand such pressure and exploded.

G-tier and F-tier users, including those who were newly awakened, spilled blood and fell to the ground.

Users below C-tiers, though they did not die instantly, had the will to live sapped out from their bodies.

The entire city was stained by fresh blood.

Mohrian had not even gotten started.

The beast breathed fire that spread wildly, which rapidly torched the land within a thousand meters.

The fire burned the wheat field, engulfed the buildings and roads, turning Black Citadel into a sea of fire.

Numerous lives were blitzed away by the merciless flame.

"Mohrian, stop!" Fire Phoenix bellowed. She was spooked to see her city in such a devastating state.

She had contacted the S-tier through special means, but nobody knew when the S-tier would make it back to the citadel.

In the meantime, aptitude users that did not belong to Black Citadel were fleeing in all directions. Mohrian tracked them down first and shattered them into pieces with its maw.

Some did not try to leave the city but looked for cover inside the citadel. Mohrian spared no one and once again breathed fire ragingly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The buildings under attack exploded and crumbled to the ground. Mohrian landed on the ruins and roared into the sky. He was clearly flaunting his dominance.

"Mohrian, stop at once or bear the consequence later!" Fire Phoenix shouted desperately.

Mohrian was pleased as it looked at the burning flame and the struggling humans. He seemed to have finally vented his rage accumulated in the past few days.

Mohrian guffawed. The beast boasted through its consciousness, "Pathetic humans! I am going to show you the price of provoking an ultra-beast!"

He rampaged through the city and brought down one after another high-rise building in front of him. People inside plunged to the ground and were then crushed by the falling concrete.

It was worse than any natural disaster. It was Doomsday all over again.

Fire Phoenix was infuriated. Other members of Dusk Dragon had gathered behind her. They were A-tiers, B-tiers, and gunners with heavy weapons on their shoulders.

"Attack!"

They could not allow Mohrian to keep ravaging through the city.

Numerous shots were fired by the gunner troop toward Mohrian.

But the missiles had little effect on Mohrian. The blasts resulting from the missiles were nothing more than tickling fireworks to the ultra-beast.

The A-tiers charged forward fearlessly. They were the natives of Black Citadel and had their homes and properties established here. They would not let the destruction go on.

"Let's work hand in hand!"

"Okay!"

"Our duke is going to return soon. We have to hold it down before that!"

Though they were members of the Dark Coalition, they understood that unity was the only way in front of such a deadly monster.

In contrast, people who came for Hell Island were only thinking about fleeing.

However, they were the initiator of this calamity. Fire Phoenix would not let them go this easily.

"If anyone dares to run now, I promise you Dusk Dragon will chase you to the edge of the world after this. Now, stay and resist Mohrian with us, or you will face the wrath of our duke!" Fire Phoenix warned harshly.

Those who were running trembled when they heard the word "duke".

Everyone knew how powerful an S-tier was, and no one wished to be hunted by one.

"Fire Phoenix, how long more until the duke will arrive? Don't you try to use us as cannon fodder."

"That's right. This has nothing to do with us. Why should we stay?"

"Blame it on the true culprits. Find Guan Jinhau. He was the one who poked Mohrian first."

They were shifting the blame and reluctant to fight.

Fire Phoenix was furious. She raised her arm and constructed a scary fire claw that stemmed from her shoulder. The giant fire-type crystal core on her arm was emanating a destructive force.

Fire Phoenix appeared to be on the verge of exploding.

"My ability may be ineffective against Mohrian but it would be enough to kill you all easily. Now, either you fight with the beast, or fight me!"

Other than Fire Phoenix, the fleeing group was rounded up by a few tens of aptitude users. Behind them, a few hundred aptitude users from Dusk Dragon and Black Citadel were rushing in too.

Though mostly B-tier users, the absolute numerical advantage was enough to frighten the A-tiers.

At the same time, a layer of white light was seen coming out from the stabilizer and covering the whole island. The entire island had been locked down spatially. Unless they could go across the bridge, no one could leave with the spatial waymark.

Qin Feng and Bai Li were unable to leave in time. They were currently encircled by several B-tiers.

Of course, Qin Feng could have defeated them easily and run. But if the duke of Dark Citadel was really arriving soon, attacking the Dusk Dragon members would only provoke another S-tier.

He had enough headaches dealing with Z and Eye Devil. Qin Feng did not wish to get another S-tier enemy.

'Guess we have no choice.'

Qin Feng said to Bai Li, "Take out the Emerald Blaster!"

"Okay!"

Bai Li raised her hand and repelled the ability users around them. They were edgy, to begin with. So when someone made a move, they were eager to fight back.

However, nobody acted when they saw the thing Bai Li took out.

It was a daunting device.

The base of the device was like a scaled-down tower. It stood vertically and the tinkering sound of a machine could be heard coming from deep inside the ground.

As for its main body, the cannon measured ten-meter-high and the cannon muzzle was at least five-meter-wide. The machine gleamed like a diamond and was thoroughly translucent.

Emerald Blaster!

The highest-spec cannon Fengli Organization possessed.

Qin Feng immediately "merged" with the blaster. He was inside a man-sized fort.

His consciousness was immediately enhanced by ten times. The muzzle steered right at Mohrian under the control of Qin Feng's conscious command.

Chapter 769: S-tier, The Duke of Black Citadel

Mohrian was being bombarded by Dusk Dragon's soldiers at the moment.

His gigantic body made him an easy target. On the outer wall of Black Citadel, more than ten A-rank Crystal Cannons capable of deterring A-tier ultra beasts were all aimed at Mohrian.

The cannons fired simultaneously. As for the buildings around and survivors trapped in it, the Dusk Dragon could not care less now.

Their priority was to stop Mohrian.

However, even if the Crystal Cannon could kill an A-tier beast, it did not mean it was capable of hurting a deity!

Mohrian was simply too powerful. The blast from the cannons barely scathed its scale.

The lasers landed on its body and exploded into one after another energy ripple. But the attack seemed to have only slightly dented Mohrian's durable scales.

Blitz! Blitz! Blitz! Blitz!

Multiple beams landed on Mohrian continuously but yielded little effect.

Not only that but the constant assaults only further enraged the beast deity.

Its mammoth body ascended into the air. The entire city caught on fire once again after Mohrian leased a sizzling breath out of ire.

None of the aptitude users dared to get closer to Mohrian now.

In front of the beast deity, they could only lament their own powerlessness.

At the same, at a spot slightly further from the battlefield near the edge of the bridge, the A-tiers were eyeing Qin Feng as he was calibrating the Emerald Blaster.

"What's that? Is that a special energy blaster?"

"It's impossible to defeat a beast deity with a machine."

"You have seen how powerful the cannons are on the city wall. Yet, those were not even enough to hurt Mohrian."

None of them was optimistic about Qin Feng's flashy weapon.

Qin Feng did not care what they thought. He stood firmly inside the personal fortress and had his blaster fully charged. A dark force began to amass in front of the muzzle.

Qin Feng had infused the blaster with dark runes.

The Emerald Blaster was a formidable weapon. It was designed to amplify any power directed into it by ten times. The source of power could be elemental runes or pure internal strength.

It worked in the same way as Qin Feng's Sacred Armor.

The more powerful the shooter, the more devastating the blast would be.

Dark runes injected by Qin Feng into the cannon were soon transformed into a scary power sphere in front of the muzzle.

The A-tiers around him were no longer talking. Their breaths were taken away by the horrific vibe surrounding the concentrated ball of dark energy.

At this moment, none of them would dare to criticize the blaster anymore.

Blitz!

The dark ball left the muzzle and flew out dragging a long tail, resembling a comet.

Controlled by Qin Feng's consciousness, the ball homed straight toward Mohrian.

Mohrian sensed the threat and saw the dark photosphere as he turned around.

In front of the great Mohrian, a five-meter large sphere was considered timid. But the energy within the "small" sphere was enough to raise Mohrian's alert.

Instantly, Mohrian opened his maw and spat a fireball.

The two energy balls collided.

Boom!

The fireball exploded.

From within the explosion, the black comet emerged once again.

It was still at the same size before the collision. The fireball seemed to have not exhausted any of its energy. The dark sphere continued to home steadily toward Mohrian.

It caught Mohrian by surprise that his fireball had little effect against the shot. It was too late for him to evade the attack now.

The dark sphere hit Mohrian's neck.

In that instant, everyone could see that the dark ball had diffused into the monster's neck.

"Aw!!!"

Mohrian raised his head and neck agonizingly. The monster was clearly in immense pain. The excruciating shriek resonated loudly in everyone's mind nearby.

Then, despite shrinking rapidly after passing through Mohrian's neck, the dark sphere continued to travel for another half a meter before landing on a building.

The small sphere created a huge hole in the building upon impact.

Bam!

The dark sphere finally exploded. Rain in black color dropped to the ground as a result and corroded the commoners' bodies as they did not manage to take cover in time.

Nobody paid attention to that because they were all gazing at Mohrian.

A dark wound emerged and began to spread on Mohrian's neck. For the first time, Mohrian was heavily wounded by an attack from a human.

However, Qin Feng sighed regrettably.

He missed Mohrian's skeleton by a fraction. The monster would not give him another chance.

The beast deity had suffered substantial injuries before when his wings were damaged by Bai Li's Spatial Crush. Now, Qin Feng's attack almost took his life. It struck fear into the monster.

Mohrian was a beast with high intelligence. He recognized that he had been thoroughly defeated this time. Against such powerful foes, Mohrian would either have his revenge next time or not cross paths with them at all in the future.

With the presence of Bai Li, a formidable spatial beast, Mohrian did not believe he could take revenge on them easily.

At this moment, all Mohrian wished was to leave as quickly as possible.

This battle had finally come to an end.

This was when another rift appeared in the sky.

A scarier aura leaked through the rift.

"S-tier! This is bad!"

"The duke! It must be the duke!"

"Our duke is back! We are safe now!"

Some were scared and immediately set off running. These were the ones that tried to plunder the dragon cave and thus enraged Mohrian.

The ones cheering were obviously members of Dusk Dragon.

The sky was distorted. Following the arrival of the man, the world seemed to bend toward the will of his aura.

He was the dictator, the king of this world, the god among men!

Even Qin Feng was shaken by the S-tier's unparalleled aura.

'The Duke of Black Citadel, He Tianxing! An S-tier ancient warrior!'

But Qin Feng could not tell which sub-tier he was in. At that level, only users of the same tier could identify that. Qin Feng was still far from entering the S-tier even before he was reborn.

He had only heard of He Tianxing in tales before this. Meeting him in person had Qin Feng realize just how unreal his power was.

The duke of Black Citadel had his gaze fixed on Mohrian. Seeing the terrible state Mohrian was in, He Tianxing was a little surprised. He then cackled. "Mohrian, my old friend. Are you here to give up on your life? If so, I will do as you wish."

As he spoke, he unsheathed the claymore on his back.

The claymore was half a meter wide and 1.8 meter long. It was even longer than He Tianxing's height.

He Tianxing raised the claymore, then released it. As the sword plunged, it became larger and larger.

Three-meter!

Five-meter!

Ten-meter!

In the blink of an eye, the claymore had turned into a twenty-meter high concrete as it struck at Mohrian.

Mohrian swung his tail frantically and met it with the sword.

The loud clunk resulting from the collision had the nearby aptitude users' ears bleed.

The duke and the dragon quickly clashed into a fierce battle.

But soon, Mohrian was being forced back. The beast deity no longer roared spiritedly. Instead, he chose to shrink his body and left decisively by tearing out another spatial rift.

He had fled!

The arrogant Mohrian had run away!

Chapter 770: Escaped from Black Citadel

He Tianxing would not let go of this opportunity and chased after Mohrian's spatial waymark.

All that was left on the scene was a demolished city, as well as the aptitude users that had just survived a calamity.

"Catch them!" Fire Phoenix roared and pointed at the aptitude users who had run far.

These were the culprits responsible for this disaster. If not because of them, Dusk Dragon would not have suffered such a great loss. Their city was nearly wiped off from the map by the beast deity!

The residents of Dusk Dragon were infuriated. They could not fight Mohrian but were more than capable of killing other aptitude users.

They thrust forward at the fleeing crowds.

Qin Feng had just retrieved his Emerald Cannon and was immediately jumped by a few aptitude users. The assaulters were glancing at Qin Feng greedily.

To the assailants, Qin Feng was in bad shape. His Sacred Armor had suffered great damage and he was only a B-tier. The local residents had no idea about Qin Feng's true strength. They were all targeting the cannon which was able to penetrate Mohrian's sturdy scales.

In their opinion, Qin Feng was no more than a lucky gunner that had obtained a destructive weapon by chance.

It was not that hard to put a gunner into his own place.

They would not care even though he had fought on their side just a moment ago.

Such was the true nature of the Dark Coalition.

Fire Phoenix is no different. She was thinking about snatching the cannon from Qin Feng too.

Qin Feng was shown respect before because Fire Phoenix treated him as a wealthy buyer. Besides, Dusk Dragon, as an auction center, would not brazenly rob others on the surface to maintain their good reputation.

However, things were different now. The Dusk Dragon Auction was completely justifiable. If they could kill Qin Feng during the chaos, Qin Feng's possession would automatically be claimed by Dusk Dragon, or even be hers.

As such, Fire Phoenix did not stop her subordinates and let them kill as they please.

A murky battle around Black Citadel soon began.

Among those aptitude users right behind Qin Feng, around four to five of them were from the Human Alliance. They were overwhelmed, being surrounded by more than 100 A-tiers. It was close to impossible for them to escape by themselves now.

As such, they gathered around Qin Feng.

One of them took off his masks and revealed his aptitude user badge. He was actually a hardnose general from the south, and his name was Nan Gongshi.

Nangong was the strongest family in the Southern Region. The elders of the Nangong family held a significant position inside the Human Alliance.

Nan Gongshi had high confidence in his power. That was why he dared to journey to Hell Island here.

"Qin Feng, let's get out of here together!" Nan Gongshi said.

Of course, they would not want to rely on Qin Feng if they had a choice. But in this circumstance, only teaming up would enhance their chance of survival.

Nonetheless, Qin Feng did not need anyone. He could easily escape by himself.

The other four A-tier aptitude users revealed their identities too. They did not join in the plundering of Mohrian's treasure. They were in Hell Island looking for herbs to breakthrough into the next stage. They had no conflict with Qin Feng.

As such, Qin Feng was willing to give them a hand.

"Retreat to the bridge!" Qin Feng said and unleashed his ability.

"Okay!" Nan Gongshi answered. He fought with a Dark Citadel soldier before retreating immediately.

Qin Feng covered them and was the last to leave. He triggered his conscious power and an insane number of runes gushed out from his blue Diamond Starglobe.

"Great Tsunami!"

A wave ascended in front of Qin Feng and became bigger and bigger. The wave crushed toward the aptitude users that chased after him.

This halted their pursuit as they tried to stop the vicious ability. However, their resistance was futile as the wave still engulfed them and blew them back a few hundred meters.

Qin Feng pulled out a large breathing space. He was not inferior despite fighting one versus five.

"Chase him down. Kill him, useless morons!" Fire Phoenix's angry roar reached them through their consciousness.

Rage was clearly visible on the Dark Citadel's A-tiers faces. They were either embarrassed being chastised by Fire Phoenix, or furious with Qin Feng's retribution, or both.

They quickly chased behind the group up to the bridge.

A few A-tiers that were running were caught up by the pursuers. They died resentfully being rounded up by several aptitude users.

The entire bridge began to shake vigorously. The impact of a battle between A-tiers was not something the construction was designed to sustain.

Out of nowhere, another five aptitude users joined in the pursuit behind Qin Feng. They were chased by a total of ten angry mobs now.

Qin Feng's face turned cruel. He would not be afraid to kill.

'I will grant your dying wish then!' Qin Feng turned around and executed Phantom Shift.

A few hundreds of shadows emerged and trapped the ten pursuers. They could not tell whether Qin Feng was hiding among the shadows. Worse still, the shadows were able to attack them like dark puppets!

"Dark Shroud!"

Another dark ability shrouded above them.

Their hearts beat extremely fast as they amplified their vigilance. The trapped A-tiers used every ounce of their internal power or runes to break out from the Dark Shroud.

As soon as they regained their vision, they saw two of their comrades that had been beheaded while Qin Feng was holding his palm on another user's dantian. The ancient warrior's face was pale and his entire body was twitching. Internal force was leaving his body rapidly as it was being absorbed by Qin Feng.

The pursuers tried to save the poor soul but Qin Feng immediately vanished from the spot with his peculiar qinggong skill.

After a few rounds, all ten aptitude users were killed by Qin Feng.

He had defused the danger.

"This way!"

Qin Feng inevitably became the leader of the group.

They finally ran out from the area covered by the stabilizer and had shaken off their pursuers. Nobody would stop them from leaving through the waymark here.

"You all leave first," Qin Feng ordered. The other five did not hesitate for long and nodded. They knew Qin Feng's power as a generational prodigy was not something they could match.

"General Qin, I will forever remember this!"

"General Qin, let me know if you ever need my help!"

"I'm willing to lend my hand, whatever it is!"

They showed their badge and none of them were considered as a weakling.

"Okay! Just go!" Qin Feng accepted their gratitude open-heartedly. He would have good use of the return favor someday in the future.

The five users made no delay and set off their waymarks respectively. They left in a blip.

Qin Feng was the only one who remained.

Just as he wanted to leave, something occurred in the air once again.

A rift was opened and the aura of an S-tier had returned.

It was He Tianxing.

However, he was not in his best shape. From the look on his face, it did not seem that he managed to deal the final blow.

Still, the return of the duke had given the members of Dusk Dragon a great boost of confidence.

All of a sudden, He Tianxing was receiving telepathic messages from almost everyone.

Among the noise, Fire Phoenix's voice was the most prominent.

"Duke, catch this guy. During the auction, he…" Fire Phoenix purposely leaked Qin Feng's wealth to He Tianxing.

Phoenix also knew about everything he did on Hell Island. This included how he had fared equally against Mohrian after fighting the deity for three days, as well as all the beasts he had killed during his time there.

Chapter 771: Challenging an S-tier

However, Fire Phoenix selectively did not tell the duke about Qin Feng's ability.

Or maybe to her, Qin Feng would not be He Tianxing's match either way.

He Tianxing was furious at the moment, too.

Mohrian was a giant draconic creature. Though Hell Island was huge, it was only considered a small island relative to that entire dimension. Strictly speaking, it was Mohrian's territory.

Unfortunately for He Tianxing, even Mohrian has its own kin.

He Tianxing chased after Mohrian into the dimension but was soon surrounded by a few A-tier draconic beasts. He even sensed the incoming presence of an S-tier dragon. That forced him to give up on Mohrian and return to Black Citadel woefully.

The first thing that came into his sight as he returned was the fierce battle between his people and the outsiders. The city had suffered a huge loss. Flamed by Fire Phoenix, He Tianxing's anger boiled into an unstoppable killing urge.

Qin Feng, who was targeted by the S-tier, felt a chill down his spine.

This was not the first time Qin Feng had experienced such hostility.

He felt the same sensation the last time Eye Devil wanted to take his life.

Facing He Tianxing aroused a familiar feeling of unpleasant fear in Qin Feng.

Qin Feng reckoned he had done nothing against He Tianxing. But judging by the chaotic scene, that was no longer important. At least He Tianxing would not care. The duke would only be interested in his possession now.

He Tianxing started moving.

The claymore in his hand dived right toward Qin Feng.

"Phantom Shift!"

Qin Feng initiated his qinggong skill and dashed away.

He Tianxing was surprised to see so many afterimages of Qin Feng. Each of them had Qin Feng's image on it. It was difficult to tell where the real Qin Feng was hidden.

However, such a trick might work on an A-tier but it would not confuse an S-tier for long.

He Tianxing's claymore turned into a horizontal position and swept the battlefield.

The radius reached about one hundred meters wide.

Qin Feng's afterimages were wiped out by the attack.

Poof!

Qin Feng's internal energy shield sustained the attack and instantly shattered. He drew the Verdant Emperor Saber and turned around to fight back.

"Blazing Sky!"

A hundred-meter-tall black flame thrust into the air and hit on the claymore pursuing Qin Feng.

The two forces collided and forced Qin Feng to unleash his internal force.

Ten pools of internal forces were equivalent to one sea of power. Ten seas of power were usually the internal force tank of an S-tier.

Qin Feng triggered about one over five of his total internal force at once. That was about one hundred pools' worth of internal force.

Luckily Qin Feng has broad meridians. Otherwise, he could not have released the enormous power without hurting himself.

The power completely put out the internal energy on He Tianxing's sword.

Not only that but the Verdant Emperor Saber had directly struck the claymore.

Clank!

The claymore was bounced off Qin Feng's saber.

He Tianxing's face changed immediately. He no longer looked at Qin Feng as a fly that he could squish easily. He was more angered than ever, gazing at Qin Feng with a stronger intent to kill.

He Tianxing raised his hand as he intended to retrieve his claymore.

Suddenly, a dark rift appeared beside the claymore and engulfed it.

It was Bai Li!

She robbed He Tianxing's weapon with her spatial runes.

Though He Tianxing had the ability to tear out a rift spontaneously, it did not mean he could infiltrate Bai Li's dimension.

Anything that went into Bai Li's dimension would hardly get out without her permission.

Even Qin Feng was surprised by Bai Li's decisive act. He had only two words. "Well done!"

He Tianxing was no doubt a legendary elect. But he became famous because of his claymore, to the extent he was given the title of Sword Devil.

Regardless of whether he still had other weapons, the claymore was definitely the most trusted weapon that had propelled him to the S-tier. With it taken away, He Tianxing's battle prowess would be tremendously slashed.

Qin Feng soon sensed a violent rage coming from above him.

"Give me back my claymore! Or else…" He Tianxing bellowed.

It was embarrassing for an S-tier to lose his own weapon. At this point, He Tianxing had decided to kill the two, no matter what.

He Tianxing closed the distance within seconds. As a battle-tested S-tier ancient warrior, he naturally had mastered outstanding S-tier qinggong skills. He moved like a flash.

In this case, no matter how fast Qin Feng is, he could not outrun He Tianxing.

Neither was his internal force higher than He Tianxing's.

More so, Qin Feng saw a peculiar scene.

When He Tianxing was coming forth, his aura was intimidating. His internal force was visible to the eyes and materialized into one after another sword.

Initially, the swords were stuck into the ground. However, as He Tianxing walked over, the swords shifted as well. Qin Feng could feel them but could not target them with consciousness.

'S-tier internal force field? Is this the effect of internal force solidifying?'

Qin Feng had no idea. He had never actually been attacked by a S-tier before, including before he was reborn.

Qin Feng finally got the full experience of fighting an S-tier and understood how special aptitude users in this tier were.

He Tianxing raised his hands. The silhouettes of swords immediately flew at Qin Feng.

This was a true transformation of aura into a physical attack!

Bai Li acted without hesitation. The space around them suddenly became obscure. The incoming pressure was alleviated by Bai Li.

The clash of the two forces yielded an overwhelming after-impact.

The veins on Qin Feng's forehead throbbed rapidly. He knew this would not last long. Bai Li had battled for a few days straight. She must be exhausted.

This was when an idea came to Qin Feng's mind.

Dong!

After a dull thud, a black coffin appeared in between them.

The coffin was unable to withstand the impact and instantly shattered.

A figure came out from the coffin.

There was no sign of vitality on the figure, yet it possessed the aura of an S-tier.

"Go!"

Qin Feng controlled the figure with his consciousness. The puppet covered in dark runes immediately lunged forward. The order it received from Qin Feng made it charge fearlessly at He Tianxing.

It was none other than the S-tier puppet Qin Feng obtained after killing Kounsat at the Divine Mountain.

This was the perfect time to use it.

The puppet penetrated through the S-tier force field and approached He Tianxing silently. Then, a dagger perforated through He Tianxing's body.

Poof!

Blood was spilled.

He Tianxing rounded his eyes. There was a large wound in his abdomen.

Actually, He Tianxing had sensed the danger a tad earlier and tried to evade it. Unfortunately, the dagger still got him.

"Die!" He Tianxing roared. He raised his finger and pointed at the S-tier puppet.

Instantly, a million swords emerged and crushed the puppet.

He then looked up again and saw only spatial runes left at where his targets were earlier. Qin Feng and Bai Li had vanished without a trace.

"Pfft!"

He Tianxing cursed and spat blood out of his mouth. His killing urge had peaked. However, he remained rooted knowing where the two had gone through the waymark.

"Great! Perfect!" Sanity was definitely not one of He Tianxing's strengths, yet he would not go after them recklessly.

This was because the place Qin Feng and Bai Li had escaped to was where he most feared.

Dragon Capital!

He had to stop his pursuit here.

"Who the hell are they!? I need information, now!" He Tianxing bellowed. At the same time, he wiped through the wound on his abdomen with his hand. The flesh repaired itself and did not look damaged from the outside.

Only He Tianxing would know how bad he was actually hurt.
