Chapter 771: Challenging an S-tier
Chapter 771: Challenging an S-tier
However, Fire Phoenix selectively did not tell the duke about Qin Feng's ability.
Or maybe to her, Qin Feng would not be He Tianxing's match either way.
He Tianxing was furious at the moment, too.
Mohrian was a giant draconic creature. Though Hell Island was huge, it was only considered a small island relative to that entire dimension. Strictly speaking, it was Mohrian's territory.
Unfortunately for He Tianxing, even Mohrian has its own kin.
He Tianxing chased after Mohrian into the dimension but was soon surrounded by a few A-tier draconic beasts. He even sensed the incoming presence of an S-tier dragon. That forced him to give up on Mohrian and return to Black Citadel woefully.
The first thing that came into his sight as he returned was the fierce battle between his people and the outsiders. The city had suffered a huge loss. Flamed by Fire Phoenix, He Tianxing's anger boiled into an unstoppable killing urge.
Qin Feng, who was targeted by the S-tier, felt a chill down his spine.
This was not the first time Qin Feng had experienced such hostility.
He felt the same sensation the last time Eye Devil wanted to take his life.
Facing He Tianxing aroused a familiar feeling of unpleasant fear in Qin Feng.
Qin Feng reckoned he had done nothing against He Tianxing. But judging by the chaotic scene, that was no longer important. At least He Tianxing would not care. The duke would only be interested in his possession now.
He Tianxing started moving.
The claymore in his hand dived right toward Qin Feng.
"Phantom Shift!"
Qin Feng initiated his qinggong skill and dashed away.
He Tianxing was surprised to see so many afterimages of Qin Feng. Each of them had Qin Feng's image on it. It was difficult to tell where the real Qin Feng was hidden.
However, such a trick might work on an A-tier but it would not confuse an S-tier for long.
He Tianxing's claymore turned into a horizontal position and swept the battlefield.
The radius reached about one hundred meters wide.
Qin Feng's afterimages were wiped out by the attack.
Poof!
Qin Feng's internal energy shield sustained the attack and instantly shattered. He drew the Verdant Emperor Saber and turned around to fight back.
"Blazing Sky!"
A hundred-meter-tall black flame thrust into the air and hit on the claymore pursuing Qin Feng.
The two forces collided and forced Qin Feng to unleash his internal force.
Ten pools of internal forces were equivalent to one sea of power. Ten seas of power were usually the internal force tank of an S-tier.
Qin Feng triggered about one over five of his total internal force at once. That was about one hundred pools' worth of internal force.
Luckily Qin Feng has broad meridians. Otherwise, he could not have released the enormous power without hurting himself.
The power completely put out the internal energy on He Tianxing's sword.
Not only that but the Verdant Emperor Saber had directly struck the claymore.
Clank!
The claymore was bounced off Qin Feng's saber.
He Tianxing's face changed immediately. He no longer looked at Qin Feng as a fly that he could squish easily. He was more angered than ever, gazing at Qin Feng with a stronger intent to kill.
He Tianxing raised his hand as he intended to retrieve his claymore.
Suddenly, a dark rift appeared beside the claymore and engulfed it.
It was Bai Li!
She robbed He Tianxing's weapon with her spatial runes.
Though He Tianxing had the ability to tear out a rift spontaneously, it did not mean he could infiltrate Bai Li's dimension.
Anything that went into Bai Li's dimension would hardly get out without her permission.
Even Qin Feng was surprised by Bai Li's decisive act. He had only two words. "Well done!"
He Tianxing was no doubt a legendary elect. But he became famous because of his claymore, to the extent he was given the title of Sword Devil.
Regardless of whether he still had other weapons, the claymore was definitely the most trusted weapon that had propelled him to the S-tier. With it taken away, He Tianxing's battle prowess would be tremendously slashed.
Qin Feng soon sensed a violent rage coming from above him.
"Give me back my claymore! Or else..." He Tianxing bellowed.
It was embarrassing for an S-tier to lose his own weapon. At this point, He Tianxing had decided to kill the two, no matter what.
He Tianxing closed the distance within seconds. As a battle-tested S-tier ancient warrior, he naturally had mastered outstanding S-tier qinggong skills. He moved like a flash.
In this case, no matter how fast Qin Feng is, he could not outrun He Tianxing.
Neither was his internal force higher than He Tianxing's.
More so, Qin Feng saw a peculiar scene.
When He Tianxing was coming forth, his aura was intimidating. His internal force was visible to the eyes and materialized into one after another sword.
Initially, the swords were stuck into the ground. However, as He Tianxing walked over, the swords shifted as well. Qin Feng could feel them but could not target them with consciousness.
'S-tier internal force field? Is this the effect of internal force solidifying?'
Qin Feng had no idea. He had never actually been attacked by a S-tier before, including before he was reborn.
Qin Feng finally got the full experience of fighting an S-tier and understood how special aptitude users in this tier were.
He Tianxing raised his hands. The silhouettes of swords immediately flew at Qin Feng.
This was a true transformation of aura into a physical attack!
Bai Li acted without hesitation. The space around them suddenly became obscure. The incoming pressure was alleviated by Bai Li.
The clash of the two forces yielded an overwhelming after-impact.
The veins on Qin Feng's forehead throbbed rapidly. He knew this would not last long. Bai Li had battled for a few days straight. She must be exhausted.
This was when an idea came to Qin Feng's mind.
Dong!
After a dull thud, a black coffin appeared in between them.
The coffin was unable to withstand the impact and instantly shattered.
A figure came out from the coffin.
There was no sign of vitality on the figure, yet it possessed the aura of an S-tier.
"Go!"
Qin Feng controlled the figure with his consciousness. The puppet covered in dark runes immediately lunged forward. The order it received from Qin Feng made it charge fearlessly at He Tianxing.
It was none other than the S-tier puppet Qin Feng obtained after killing Kounsat at the Divine Mountain.
This was the perfect time to use it.
The puppet penetrated through the S-tier force field and approached He Tianxing silently. Then, a dagger perforated through He Tianxing's body.
Poof!
Blood was spilled.
He Tianxing rounded his eyes. There was a large wound in his abdomen.
Actually, He Tianxing had sensed the danger a tad earlier and tried to evade it. Unfortunately, the dagger still got him.
"Die!" He Tianxing roared. He raised his finger and pointed at the S-tier puppet.
Instantly, a million swords emerged and crushed the puppet.
He then looked up again and saw only spatial runes left at where his targets were earlier. Qin Feng and Bai Li had vanished without a trace.
"Pfft!"
He Tianxing cursed and spat blood out of his mouth. His killing urge had peaked. However, he remained rooted knowing where the two had gone through the waymark.
"Great! Perfect!" Sanity was definitely not one of He Tianxing's strengths, yet he would not go after them recklessly.
This was because the place Qin Feng and Bai Li had escaped to was where he most feared.
Dragon Capital!
He had to stop his pursuit here.
"Who the hell are they!? I need information, now!" He Tianxing bellowed. At the same time, he wiped through the wound on his abdomen with his hand. The flesh repaired itself and did not look damaged from the outside.
Only He Tianxing would know how bad he was actually hurt.
