Chapter 429 - Enter the City
Chapter 429: Enter the City
Qin Feng instantly mustered ten clusters of liquefied internal power. His internal force was denser and the amount of one cluster was at least three to four times more than that of his opponent’s.
Cumulatively, the energy he unleashed was almost twenty times the power of the D-tier’s two clusters.
Their fists met and none of the two had activated their internal shields to protect themselves. The collision of the two internal forces created a loud buzz.
Soon, a visible ripple began to move toward the chubby ancient warrior.
The sleeve on the D-tier’s arm shattered instantly as their fist came together. The torn fabric was twirled by an unseen force and then scattered randomly into the air.
It was a phenomenon that would happen when someone’s internal strength was being ripped apart.
That was not the end of it.
Crack!
Qin Feng’s internal power continued to push forward and forcefully flattened the D-tier’s originally plump fist.
Then, a series of cracking sounds suggested that the guard’s hand bone was fractured.
The thick arm of the D-tier subsequently exploded with blood and oil spurting out from the wrist all the way to the elbow, then from the upper arm, and finally the shoulder.
The internal force kept gushing in.
Boom!
The influx of energy mutilated the D-tier’s organs and eventually destroyed the heart. The ancient warrior was sent flying backward and fell lifelessly onto the ground. He was just a pile of disgusting dead meat now.
His shirt was burst open and all the D-tier silver runic equipment underneath it was crushed.
The runic equipment made from king-tier beast skin could not protect the ancient warrior. His circulatory system was utterly devastated and he could not be more dead.
Qin Feng triggered Asteroid Assimilation and drew out the remaining liquefied power from him. The rest of the guards were startled as they looked at Qin Feng.
They did not expect Qin Feng to be this powerful. After all, Qin Feng looked extremely young.
“Wow. Impressive!” One of the three guards spoke in a weird tone but did not dare to make any move on Qin Feng.
The chubby ancient warrior Qin Feng had just killed was actually a unique fighter. He purposely developed his body that way through tailored parallel training. Nonetheless, he was killed by Qin Feng in a single punch.
Besides, they could sense it now. Though the badge on Qin Feng’s chest showed that he was a newly promoted D-tier aptitude user, he actually possessed the prowess of a D5-tier.
“Give us your name!” One of the D-tier guards knew the man in front of them was not your average Joe. They had quietly decided to let Qin Feng enter the city.
If Qin Feng were a member of the Human Alliance, then more gruesome challenges were waiting for him behind this wall.
“Qin Feng!”
The D-tier aptitude user quickly opened up the bounty hunter network. Qin Feng’a bounty was there on the homepage. He was listed just the day before.
“What did you do?
The reason on the net was definitely bullsh*t because it says “Wanted for hindering military affairs”.
“Someone wants to frame me, that’s all,” Qin Feng answered emotionlessly.
The D-tier user understood immediately. Such a thing was not a rare occurrence in this world. At the same time, he also knew that Qin Feng came to this place just to seek temporary asylum. He would never truly become a member of the Dark Coalition.
A lot of people like him popped up in front of the gate every year. Not many were able to survive the brutal City of Death.
But Qin Feng did not look like the kind that would be put down easily.
“Off you go then.” The D-tier aptitude user opened the passage door.
After seeing the guard’s action, those inside the building retracted their consciousness. Anyhow, Qin Feng could still feel the vision of some greedy men placed upon Bai Li.
A sense of cruelty flashed past Qin Feng’s eyes.
They went through the door and officially stepped into the City of Death.
The conditions there were awful. They could literally smell blood and rotten odor every now and then. Random people that looked numb walked past them like zombies. They stopped to collect trash and sometimes pillaged through the dead bodies at the corner of the street. They would throw their collection into the trolley and keep on walking, emotionlessly.
Qin Feng brushed past a janitor and saw three bodies in his trolley. The others did not react to it as this was probably an everyday scene in this hapless city.
A dirty kid aged around 5 years old suddenly ran out from the dark. He was extremely skinny and wore an oversize shirt. The kid had seen some undeserved hard life for his young age.
The kid’s eyes were beaming with expectation when he saw Qin Feng and Bai Li.
“Do you need a hotel room?” The kid asked.
Qin Feng ignored him and pulled Bai Li away.
Seeing Qin Feng’s coldness, the kid did not give up and approached Bai Li. He pleaded sympathetically, “Let me be your guide! This must be your first time here in the City of Death. This is a dangerous place. Without a guide like me, you two might probably end up like them!”
His filthy finger pointed toward the dead bodies inside the trolley.
Qin Feng stopped abruptly.
“I don’t need a room but I do want a standalone place. Doesn’t matter whether it’s an apartment or villa,” Qin Feng requested.
A smile immediately broke out on the kid’s face. “Villa… I know a place but it might be a little pricey…” He extended his index finger and said, “1 power credit!”
It was equivalent to 10,000 in the outside world.
Communicator transactions were not widely used here. People here prefered to do business using power credits.
Qin Feng nodded and said, “Sure!”
“Come with me!”
The boy turned and beamed with jubilance. He did not expect that Qin Feng would be so easily deceived.
He waved at them and disappeared into an alley. “It’s easy to run into bad guys using the main road. I know a safer shortcut!”
The boy paced hurriedly. But to Qin Feng and Bai Li, it was just like taking a stroll so they followed him leisurely.
***
At the same time, the three guards at the gate were dissatisfied with being unable to extort more power credits from the newcomer.
“Who is that? I can’t believe he finished off the fatty in one strike.”
“Check him out. He must be some famous outlaw.”
“Let’s check the Hitman Network!”
Three of them checked their communicator and paid no attention to the guard who just got killed.
The land of this city was all black because of bloodstains. They were immune to death, even if the guy was still playing cards and bullsh*tting with them just a moment ago.
Soon, they found what they were looking for.
“Damn, the price on his head is 1 trillion!”
“That much? Is he worth that much?”
They were moved by the huge bounty.
But one of them spoke dejectedly, “He is rated Hero Class. Not only that but he had also killed more than one C-tier before!”
