Chapter 770 - Escaped from Black Citadel
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.
