Chapter 790: Chapter 240: Qin Feng’s Fearsome Reputation Soars! 88th on the Combat Power Ranking
He glanced over it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
As expected of a top-tier prodigy, Jin Sheng’s accumulated resources were far more abundant than those of Lei Zhan and the others.
The Sky Feather must have been the Star System Level Resource he’d won earlier.
With a single thought, he stored away all of Jin Sheng’s spoils.
Then, Qin Feng took out half and sent it to Caesar via the Subspace Network.
"Fifty-fifty, just as we agreed."
Qin Feng said with a laugh, his voice light and easy.
"Haha, not bad at all."
Caesar also let out a hearty laugh, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Jin Sheng had certainly been a tough opponent. If Qin Feng hadn’t arrived in time, Caesar would have had to expend a great deal of time and energy, even if he could have won.
As they laughed, their gazes simultaneously shifted to the crowd of Martial Artists watching from the sidelines.
Right now, these Martial Artists were in a state of profound shock. Some had yet to recover from the stunning sight of Jin Sheng being killed in an instant.
Any Martial Artist capable of watching from the top of the Starry Sky Iron Tree was far from weak. At a minimum, they were Constant Star-level Powerhouses who had completed at least one-tenth of the Foundation of the Eternal Singularity.
Although they couldn’t compare to Jin Sheng, they had undoubtedly accumulated vast amounts of resources and points.
There were over a hundred such onlookers present.
As Qin Feng and Caesar’s gazes swept over them, an invisible pressure instantly descended upon the area.
Two vast streams of Mental Power intertwined like a pair of invisible mountains, completely locking down the surrounding space.
The Martial Artists discovered in horror that Subspace Teleportation was completely disabled!
"Wait..."
One of the onlookers’ eyes widened, his face a mask of disbelief and terror. "You’re going to kill us?!" he stammered. "We were just watching!"
His voice sounded exceptionally shrill in the silent cosmos.
"Heh."
Caesar sneered, unconcealed killing intent glinting in his golden eyes. "You were waiting for us to cripple each other so you could move in for the kill, and now you say you were ’just watching’?"
His words exposed the onlookers’ true intentions, and looks of awkward panic appeared on many of the Martial Artists’ faces.
Qin Feng’s smile was even more chilling. He spoke slowly, each word laced with undeniable authority. "We’ll be taking your resources!"
With that one sentence, the last shred of hope in the hearts of the onlooking Martial Artists was utterly extinguished.
They realized this was not a threat.
"Please, don’t! I’ll give you all my resources! Just don’t kill me! My Rebirth Point has been taken by the Mechanical Race. If I have a Rebirth now, I won’t stand a chance against them. I’ll be eliminated for sure."
Unable to bear the terror any longer, a Martial Artist in the crowd began to plead for his life.
It turned out that most of these onlookers were former members of the Independent Alliance, which had already fallen apart.
After the mandatory elimination mission was announced at the eight-hundred-year mark, their alliance leader had betrayed them. The alliance dissolved and fell into disarray. Lacking organization and power, their Rebirth Points were conquered by the formidable Mechanical Race.
If they were killed now, they would be forced to have a Rebirth on a planet occupied by the Mechanical Race.
Faced with the powerful Mechanical Race, who occupied several stars and had manufactured countless mechanical constructs, they would be utterly powerless to resist. The only outcome would be elimination.
Death itself wasn’t frightening here.
But elimination meant losing everything—all subsequent opportunities in the Cosmic Genius Battle. It was an incalculable loss.
"Qin Feng, Caesar, we really meant no harm!"
"We’ll leave all of our resources! We’re begging you, just spare our lives!"
"Just don’t get us eliminated!"
The Martial Artists pleaded in somber tones.
"Hmm. If this were the beginning of the competition, I might have let you go."
Caesar said gravely, his gaze devoid of pity. "But now, we have to speed up the elimination process."
His words were cold and final, revealing the brutal reality of the competition’s later stages, where every second counted.
Eliminating the weak and plundering their resources was the most efficient way to survive.
"Kill—"
With a low cry, Caesar was the first to strike.
The golden Holy Sword in his hand unleashed a searing light, instantly slashing toward the few Martial Artists nearest to him.
Qin Feng was just as decisive. The Star-devouring Spear in his hand became a streak of golden lightning, imbued with the Martial Dao True Intent of [Boundless Mountains], as he charged into the crowd.
The phantom of the [Immortal Tower] behind him simultaneously released a terrifying power of Suppression, causing the fleeing Martial Artists to slow drastically, as if mired in quicksand.
Blood and gore flew everywhere as screams were instantly drowned out by endless Energy Fluctuations. Under the combined assault of two top-tier Constant Star-level Powerhouses like Qin Feng and Caesar, these onlookers had no power to resist whatsoever.
In less than half a minute, the roaring subsided. Not a single living Martial Artist remained in the blood-soaked void.
Over a hundred Constant Star Martial Artists had been utterly slaughtered by Qin Feng and Caesar.
[You have slain a Martial Artist... obtained resources...]
[You have slain a Martial Artist... obtained points...]
Inside Qin Feng’s Jade Token, his resource and point counts flickered and soared wildly!
His and Caesar’s personal point rankings and Combat Power rankings were climbing at a visibly astonishing rate!
...
"Not bad."
A rational light gleamed in Caesar’s golden eyes.
"According to my calculations,"
he began, "the Martial Artists we just cleared out were, on average, in the upper-middle tier of this battle zone. The amount of resources each one had accumulated was quite substantial."
"Add to that the spoils from a top-tier prodigy like Jin Sheng, plus whatever we collect from the Starry Sky Iron Tree itself..."
