Chapter 98: The Emperor Knight Dies!

“Hehe!” The Dark-Robed Ripper let out a blood-thirsty cackle that echoed through the darkness. At the same time, a powerful beam of dark ray burst forth.

All seven of the ancient warriors present were helplessly caught within the dark ray’s area of impact.

Of course, Qin Feng was not one of them.

Of the seven ancient warriors, one already had his internal strength sucked away by Qin Feng. The distance between Han Jian and Lin Zheng was too large for them to make it in time. This meant that the lives of the remaining four warriors were now hanging onto a thread that could snap at any moment.

In mere moments, the Emperor Knight had regained the upper hand.

“Goddamn it! Kill that ripper thing already!”

“I can’t detect it! Why don’t you kill it yourself!?”

“Where’s Qin Feng? Isn’t he able to detect it?”

As the seconds went by, these people realised how dire the situation had now become, and they wanted Qin Feng to take the reigns!

Qin Feng’s cynical laugh reverberated in the darkness.

He was no fool. Why would he attack?

However, no slack was given as the Dark-Robed Ripper suddenly reappeared. This time, it materialised right beside the body of the person whose internal energy was drained by Qin Feng.

It went straight for the person’s neck, sinking its teeth deep into where the jugular vein was.

“Aaaghhhh!”

The person let out a blood-curdling wail that was accompanied by the grotesque sound of bubbling as blood slowly oozed out from his windpipe.

“Somebody, save me! Save me!”

It was a shame that no one dared to save him. Nobody could. Among the eight people present, they were divided into five separate classes but nobody belonged to the same class as the victim.

Even if there was someone with the same level of skill as him present, just like how both Qin Feng and Lin Zheng hailed from Cheng Bei colony, should crap hit the fan for one person, it could be guaranteed that the other would never step in to lend a hand!

Thus, that man’s calls for help were in vain; he was as good as dead.

In the blink of an eye, that person turned into a dried up human pulp as the ripper sucked him dry. Where the wrist of the Dark-Robed Ripper was exposed, one could observe a rapid regeneration of bone, blood and muscle.

“Die!”

Lin Zheng seized the opportunity and attempted to finish off the Dark-Robed Ripper.

His body showed no signs of weakness even after being hit by the dark ray. Of all the ancient warriors present, the one with the strongest combat capability was now him.

Qin Feng, too, suddenly broke out and attacked.

The Dark-Robed Ripper was not an entity that could be slain so easily by mere mortals. If not for Qin Feng’s immunity to dark abilities, the outcome would have been much more different!

As the two powers clashed, a white-hot glow started expanding, encapsulating the surroundings.

The lone Emperor Knight was facing an enemy with numerical superiority. While his abilities granted him extreme powers, in a death struggle against E-tier aptitude users, he could only hold out for so long.

“Roar!”

The Emperor Knight roared furiously. While busily fending off the unrelenting attacks from his two enemies, the shield he was gripping in his hands was sent flying out at great speed.

The sharp end of the shield mercilessly lodged itself near dead center on the chest of one of the ancient warriors.

Crack!

The sound of his ribcage shattering was audible to all that stood nearby.

Poof!

The unfortunate ancient warrior retreated a distance away before he collapsed and vomited out a mouthful of dark-red blood. His entire chest cavity caved in from the impact and not long after, his eyes lost the luster it once had.

His final thought was one of regret. Why was he so keen on grabbing this job, this job that he had to pay for with his life.

Qin Feng, who was hiding in the dark, reappeared by the deceased warrior’s side.

“Gulp!”

His large, muscular frame exuded raw strength. Like an unstoppable tidal wave, the warrior was taken into Qin Feng’s dantian, where a massive reservoir of internal strength was contained.

Yet another dozen or so clouds of mist were integrated into his dantian.

“Xiao Bai, tuck away that shield!”

In the darkness, Bai Li who never once revealed herself activated her spatial manipulation, and in the next instant, the shield was nowhere to be seen.

The Emperor Knight had now lost yet another weapon. This time, he found the pesky thief he was looking for.

After all, Qin Feng was the only that appeared right beside the body that was struck by his shield!

“Roar!”

The Emperor Knight bellowed once more as he dug his heels into the side of his spirit horse, beckoning it to charge toward Qin Feng.

Without a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng started running.

The four people who were fighting against the Emperor Knight recognised an opportunity when they saw one. Not wanting to let this chance slip away, they too, started giving chase.

However, they could never match the speed of the Emperor Knight’s seasoned warhorse.

Qin Feng’s speed, on the other hand, was vastly different!

“Fire Beam!”

The most crucial moment had arrived as Qin Feng made his stand.

His fire beam, contrasted with the darkness of the night sky, looked like fireworks from afar; one could easily get lost in its beauty. However, looks could and do kill. Moments after the beam was shot off by Qin Feng, a massive hole appeared right at the center of the Emperor Knight’s torso.

Boom!

This time, the Emperor Knight was sent flying off the back of his warhorse.

Everything that Bai Li knew was directly from Qin Feng’s lessons, mostly by the use of simple analogies. The Emperor Knight’s spear as well as his shield were now stored away safely in her private space. The only thing left now, was the lone warhorse standing idle on the battlefield without its master. Bai Li’s eyes lit up as one would at the sight of a delicious meal awaiting. Streaks of spatial passages appeared in the air which swallowed up the warhorse whole, leaving no trace behind.

The Emperor Knight had now become a general without his army, a paper tiger.

Refusing to let this chance escape, Qin Feng walked over with large, confident strides.

“Die!”

Qin Feng raised his arm and took aim. The hand cannon in his grip was now humming with a low frequency, indicating that it was primed for firing.

Bang!

A shell burst out of the barrel, spinning toward its target.

Liu Ba and the rest who were giving chase arrived at the scene, their eyes widened as if they were about to spew out insults.

However, they did not have time to spare for such unnecessary acts. Everyone dropped onto the ground, laying down to avoid being caught up in the explosion.

The ground where the Emperor Knight laid erupted as an ear-splitting explosion shook the air around them.

Flames licked the earth and the aftershock from the explosion was so powerful that it knocked some of the ancient warriors off their feet. Everyone present felt firsthand, its immense power, as their organs shifted around within their bodies.

Qin Feng, however, did not even have a single scratch on his body. As his fire beam attack sent the Emperor Knight flying backwards, the distance between him and the explosion was the largest.

Without waiting for the dust to settle, Qin Feng rushed into the flames with fire runes floating around his body, forming a barrier against the extreme temperature of his surroundings.

The Emperor Knight laid motionless at ground zero of the explosion. What was surprising was that despite the immense explosion, he was not completely vaporized as one normally would be. Though, its armour had now been twisted into an almost unrecognisable form and its skull had been detached from the torso.

It was safe to say that the guy was as good as dead!

Qin Feng bent over and picked up the helmet, not forgetting to pour out what remained of the Emperor Knight’s head.

“Thud!”

A bare skull with the same density as a metal plopped out of the helmet onto the ground.

However, that was not the end of it. Through its eye sockets, there appeared to be a fist-sized, crimson-colored energy core.

An F8-tier king core!

This thing could be worth up to billions if it were put up for auction in Wanzong!

“Honey, I want it, I want it!” Bai Li jumped out from the dark, wrapping herself around Qin Feng. Her eyes were staring intently at the energy core.

Hearing Bai Li’s voice, he could feel a chill running up his spine as feelings of guilt surged from within.

“Go ahead!”

Qin Feng, who had a soft spot for Bai Li, gave up the energy core without protest nor second thoughts.

Carefully, she tucked the precious gift away before she did with the Emperor Knight’s body and belongings.

“Cough cough! Bastard, Qin Feng, where the hell’s the Emperor Knight?”

As the dust gradually settled, Liu Ba and his men came running over. Bai Li once again disappeared into the darkness before they had the chance to see her, leaving only Qin Feng to deal with the situation.

“Been turned into ashes, I reckon” Qin Feng shrugged. Since there was nothing left behind as proof of its death, these people could flip Zimu Mountains over and still find no trace of the Emperor Knight!

“You’re terrible at lying! You’ve probably hidden the Emperor Knight somewhere! Where’s the spatial runic equipment you brought with you? Let me set things straight, the Emperor Knight’s death was our collective effort. You’ve got no right to have things all to yourself!”

Qin Feng chuckled at the statement.

“Without you guys, I’d still be able to kill it. With you guys around, there’s nothing for me to gain since you’d all be fighting over the loot!”

“Arrogance leads to nowhere, Qin Feng!”

“Little bastard, you’re asking for it!”

The other two ancient warriors, too, entered into the fray.
