Chapter 711: Dark Coalition Crackdown

Everyone in Dragon Capital knew that Qin Feng was a prodigy.

Prodigies could overcome the challenges and boundaries before them, Qin Feng could slay a C-tier beast emperor while being a C-tier himself and could even challenge a B-tier beast king. It was just that the markings of his badge made many people subconsciously ignore that.

After all, in Dragon Capital, B-tiers were the mainstream powerhouses, the A-tiers made up the upper levels of hierarchy and the S-tiers were the strongest of them all!

“How is he that fast? The last time he showed up he was only C2, right?”

“Who knows, maybe he never updated his badge before and he was concealing it. He has a dark type ability after all!”

“I wonder how it would look like if he fought other ability users!”

“He even survived a place like the Divine Mountain!”

“They say he killed an A-tier beast emperor in the eastern sea, one that had almost advanced into a beast deity!”

“Is that for real?”

The discussion about Qin Feng seemed to be endless, but there was one outstanding subject. More and more people had become aware of Qin Feng’s strength and had been paying more and more attention.

“Looks like Qin Feng has a lot of confidence in himself!”

This thought floated around in many people’s heads, including Sheng Lian’s.

After the technology announcement that day, Sheng Lian was angry enough to cough out blood but did not take any action.

Previously, he said that fighting Qin Feng was not a big deal but this time he did not dare to do such a thing.

Later on, Qin Feng released Sheng Hua, who activated a spatial waymark the moment he was able to and returned to Dragon Capital. Due to his serious injury he was immediately taken away for treatment.

Sheng Lian naturally arrived quickly.

“Why were you so careless to be caught by Qin Feng?” Sheng Lian did not care that Sheng Hua was injured and immediately went on with the questioning.

Sheng Hua was lying in the hospital bed at the time in an extremely weak state. He felt embarra.s.sed by Sheng Lian’s line of questioning.

“My Lord, to be honest I don’t know how Qin Feng discovered us. At that time, Li Keqing and I were moving around 100 meters underground. I used my dark ability to conceal us and Li Keqing was moving forward using his earth ability. Even if someone were to discover us, they couldn’t have been able to catch us if they weren’t an earth ability user!”

Sheng Lian’s eyebrows furrowed, this situation was more complicated than he thought.

“100 meters? How is that… you have to elaborate!”

Sheng Hua did not hide it either. He spoke about how he and Li Keqing suddenly appeared somewhere else as well as what happened to Li Keqing afterward, and how Qin Feng destroyed his legs.

Sheng Lian was deep in thought for a moment.

“Did you feel any s.h.i.+ft from spatial runes?”

“My Lord, I also have doubts because I found out that something was wrong and transmitted a message to Li Keqing. Originally, I thought of using a spatial waymark and using the earth ability to cause some destruction as our cover to buy us some time. However, my spatial waymark did not activate and Li Keqing… was dead!”

Sheng Lian’s expression became even more solemn.

He never expected Qin Feng to be so strong, and even had a spatial ability which made it impossible for people to defend against him. If he wanted to fight back there was n.o.body that could stop him.

“My Lord, what should we do after this?” Sheng Hua asked.

Sheng Lian was quiet for a while; as if he did not want to answer; and was thinking that Sheng Hua’s role in this was not small and could not be ignored.

Sheng Hua was special. He was a rare dark ability user and had been trained as a killer since his youth, as such he had done a lot of disgraceful things.

Due to this, he was important.

“What do you think?”

Sheng Hua spoke but with difficulty, “My Lord, I think it is better if we don’t continue provoking Qin Feng.”

“Eh?” Sheng Lian looked at the man with surprise. “I thought that since you got slighted like this that you’d want me to organize someone to get back at him?”

Sheng Hua shook his head and let out a bitter laugh. “I think I’m afraid of him!”

Qin Feng’s menacing prowess and Bai Li’s strange ability made him not want to face them again and prayed that he would never ever have to for the rest of his life!

“Then… we will be letting this matter go!” Sheng Lian did not say much else to the man because he agreed with Sheng Hua’s approach and even thanked him for being so forward.

Otherwise, it would have looked really bad on the Sheng family’s patriarch’s part!

***

These days, Fengli City was quite lively, the whole city was celebrating.

Their way of greeting had changed from “Did you eat yet?” to “Did your place bloom yet?”

In short, this sort of joy meant that Fengli City was continuing to advance.

Qin Feng was worried about something else at this time.

“B-tier beast emperor crystal cores, there aren’t enough!”

In this world, although the S-tier was the highest tier, the top of humanity were the A-tiers and the best they could do was hunt down B-tier beast emperors.

The ones that A-tiers could produce were obviously not enough.

Qin Feng was now very rich, so rich that he could basically rival a country!

His trip to the East Sea State had him gain the spatial rune equipment inside the Glutton Leviathan’s body, the reward money for the Glutton Leviathan, a collection of different spirit herbs, the Glittering Gold Sand and materials from the Devil Mountain.

All of those valued up to a horrifying amount.

He had a lot of money, but there just were not enough B-tier beast emperor crystal cores to go around!

“Eat the Devil Mountain’s crystal core. That should be good enough for now! After a few days, we’re going to the Black Dragon Auction!” Qin Feng said.

“What’s that?”

Qin Feng grinned, a faint hint of bloodthirst in his eyes.

“An auction of the Dark Coalition’s forces!”

Its location was in the Black Citadel!

It was a hundred times more dangerous than the City of Death and comparable to Dragon Capital in the Huaxia Alliance. Due to that, the oversea island that it was on was completely blocked off.

That was truly a place where the Dark Coalition existed!

For a while, Qin Feng and Bai Li stayed at the Fengli colony. Due to Qin Feng reaching B-tier, the hara.s.sment they faced before in Cinderclast City had simmered down!

It seemed that during this time many apt.i.tude users had begun to be truly afraid of Qin Feng because he had already touched that threshold of power!

Once he reached B-tier, everything had changed!

However, this calm would only last for half a month.

In May, Shang Han called.

Originally, this season was supposed to be a safe season and support tasks would not be delegated. Various regions had already pa.s.sed their most troubling times.

“Qin Feng, I really want you to practice hard but this time it’s a bit complicated, so I decided to ask you to step forward,” Shang Han said.

“What seems to be the issue that’s bothering you, Regent Shang?” Qin Feng raised a brow.

“People from the surrounding alliances have invited us to crackdown an S-tier Dark Coalition member!”

At that moment, Qin Feng’s brows furrowed with concern.
