Chapter 179: Dark Coalition

It was not something one would see everyday, a hover limousine trailing a long track of old-time trucks.

"The hover car doesn't plan to overtake us it seems. Why is the driver following us?" One of the gunners frowned and spoke restlessly through the communicator, which stayed connected to the entire security troop.

"Should I shoot the car?"

"Are you crazy? What if there is a big gun in there? Suit yourself if you want to tempt fate but don't drag us down with you."

"I will kill him instantly if he is only an F-tier aptitude user."

They watched the limousine warily. The car continued to tailgate them after a distance.

The guards grew restless as the convoy entered a valley between two mountains.

Bang!

The sound of an unanticipated gunshot echoed through the valley and blood immediately spurted out from one of the G-tier gunners. His body tumbled lifelessly and rolled down from the truck.

"We are under attack!" Another gunner shrieked in high pitch like a lady and startled others on watch.

But none of them could locate the enemy. It was either because the enemy was too far away or a more powerful gunner from the opponent's team had shielded their consciousness from them.

Gunners on the outside were annihilated swiftly while those inside dared not show themselves.

The ambushers removed their camouflage after they saw no retaliation from the guards. They were only a small unit of twenty men. The operation was a huge success because they managed to catch the convoy completely off guard.

The team protecting the trucks shouted angrily when they saw their ambushers approaching down from the mountain.

"F*ck them! Brothers, let's move and avenge our fallen comrades!"

A few ancient warriors were prepared to dash out. Of course, there would not be an ability user in such an average security team.

This was when the limousine hidden behind the giant trucks began to whirr loudly.

Buzz!!

The rhythmic hum of the luxury car machinery was a melody to the ears. The hover limousine escalated abruptly and flew over the truck in front of it.

It then promptly landed in between the two groups of people.

Both the Serpent Battalion and the security guards were riddled by the intrusion.

Those from the Serpent Battalion assumed that he had come to the aid of the convoy. The intruder was probably hard to deal with judging by the limousine he or she was driving.

While those from the security team took Qin Feng as a foe. After all, it would be too coincidental for the ambush to take place right after his car had suddenly appeared behind them in a no man's land.

The door on the driver's side slid open when the two parties were still busy guessing the intruder's identity.

The gunners from the Serpent Battalion did not think much and fired rapidly at Qin Feng.

Ratatat!

However, the bullets stopped short at about one meter in front of Qin Feng.

"Reflect!" Qin Feng uttered coldly and all the bullets traveled back to where they came from at an even greater speed.

"Sh*t!"

Ancient warriors standing in front of the party were staggered and rapidly drew out their weapons to shield themselves against the incoming bullets.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Some of the bullets were deflected but not everyone reacted in time. Many were hit and fell down, groaning in pain. More than ten fighters had their legs hit during this exchange.

Qin Feng got down from the car slowly. His silver battle suit was eye-catching enough but the palm-sized badge in front his chest stood out even more. A large letter E was engraved on the badge.

Those from the Serpent Battalion were stunned.

'E-tier? How's that possible?'

They had investigated the convoy thoroughly before making the move. Where did this E-tier aptitude user come from?

They wanted to question but to their surprise, they could not make any sound as if a giant hand was gripping their throat. It was the overwhelming conscious energy emanated by Qin Feng that had forbidden them from talking. Qin Feng's aura caused the lower tier aptitude users to gasp for air and hunch involuntarily.

Bam!

A gunner from the Serpent Battalion could no longer withstand the pressure and kneeled to the ground.

"Please, spare my life!"

The others soon followed suit. They fell to their knees and pleaded for their lives. They were powerless in front of an E-tier aptitude user.

Qin Feng scanned the kneeling figures and finally found the person he was looking for.

He was a frivolous looking young man, perhaps in his twenties. There was a long blade in his hand and Qin Feng could sense that he was merely a G3-tier aptitude user.

This was the guy that had hunted him down in his past life but was instead killed by him.

Qin Feng triggered his conscious power and dragged the man toward him. The young man, pained by his gun wound, let out a horrible scream.

"Argh! My lord, spare me!"

Qin Feng looked him in the eyes and spoke solemnly, "I will not kill you as long as you answer my questions."

The man nodded and said, "I will tell you everything."

Qin Feng smiled satisfyingly.

"Which organization are you guys serving?"

"Serpent. We call ourselves the Serpent Battalion. I just joined the Dark Coalition recently and have never killed anyone. I was being forced into this."

Qin Feng retracted his smile and pierced the man in front with his cold sight. He became even more traumatizing than before.

"Argh!!" Some succumbed entirely to the pressure and could not raise their heads.

Qin Feng choked the man and chastised, "Did you think that your lies will work on me?"

The guy trembled and replied very much terrified, "I am not lying! I swear!"

Qin Feng turned the guy's neck violently and he almost fainted. Cold sweat was all over his neck due to fear, and Qin Feng could clearly see the tattoo he was looking for.

Qin Feng sneered. "Now tell me, what's with this tattoo?"

The guy's iris narrowed after he heard Qin Feng's question but he was not the only one who reacted to the question.

Qin Feng was extremely sensitive and immediately pinpointed the man on the ground with stiffened muscles. His gaze fell straight on the target.

The man initially dropped his head to avoid eye contact but immediately raised his head again as he remembered something. Nonetheless, that short instance was more than enough for Qin Feng to notice the tattoo.

'So, you have it as well.' Qin Feng paced toward the man.

"Let me go. I don't understand what you are saying!" The young man in his grip was struggling to escape.

Qin Feng approached his target and stepped on the person's back mercilessly. He then crouched down and forcefully pushed his hand against the F-tier aptitude user's head.

The tattoo on the back of his neck was clearly in sight now.
