Chapter 97 - Everyone’s Target (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, they found nothing in sight.

Not only Qin Feng but the Dark-Robed Ripper was also nowhere to be seen.

‘Darn! How could we have lost two targets in an instance?’

‘We can’t let Qin Feng escape. He is a student of Chengbei University. He is not to join the evaluation next month.’

‘His potential is beyond the chart. He is going to disrupt the power balance in Chengyang at this rate. My uncle is one of the strongest candidates to run for mayor next term. We can’t afford to let him mature into our future threat.’

‘d.a.m.n you, Qin Feng. You should pay with blood for killing my underling!”

The members of the “search and kill” team might have a different purpose in mind but they all had one common target—to put an end to Qin Feng’s meteoric rise.

Nevertheless, none of them could locate Qin Feng.

They were not to be blamed. Most parts of the Zimu Mountains had now turned into bare lands. Rotting trees were consumed by dark runes and would soon turn into bewitched plants. This caused the Zimu Mountains to be stained by the black color of death. Both Qin Feng and the Ripper were dark ability users so they could conceal themselves in the environment without being noticed.

However, they could clearly sense each other. After all, they were almost equal in power, with Qin Feng perhaps slightly stronger overall since he was also an ancient warrior.

‘Let’s get this done quickly.’ With this thought in mind, Qin Feng pursued the Ripper with Bai Li on his side.

The Dark-Robed Ripper could sense the imminent danger and dashed toward the peak hastily.

At the mountain peak, the Emperor Knight was annoyed by the flies that had suddenly occupied the sky of his turf. Without its spear, the beast could no longer launch ranged attacks and thus it could only wait for its prey to come down.

The beast’s attention was distracted by the search team and it had also failed to realize the presence of the Dark-Robed Ripper in stealth mode.

‘Gotcha!’ Qin Feng sneered and intercepted the Ripper with his well-built body.

Bang!

The Dark-Robed Ripper took the hit and was bounced into the air. It landed hard on the ground and continued to roll down the hill before it was stopped by a giant tree.

Slas.h.!.+

Qin Feng quickly followed up with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

He did not expect that the Ripper’s robe was also made of runes. It exploded into a dark mist as soon as the saber came into contact with it. Qin Feng felt like he had hit on a large pile of fluffy cotton instead of the Ripper’s body.

“Grrrr!”

The Dark-Robed Ripper was infuriated and evoked all its power.

Without being watched by drones, Qin Feng neither retreated nor evaded this time.

Though his saber was unable to cut through the Ripper, Qin Feng still had plenty of tricks up his sleeves.

Qin Feng retracted the saber and wrapped his hand around the robe.

“Absorb!” The dark runes of the robe disappeared into his palm under the effect of his innate ability.

With the mist protecting the Ripper gone, Qin Feng finally managed to grab its body.

“Asteroid a.s.similation!”

This secret art not only could devour the enemy’s inner power but it also exerted ten times the force in return. The impact created by the two opposing forces was especially suffocating.

It was the Ripper’s arm that Qin Feng was gripping at the moment.

Poof!

The arm exploded under the grinding force. There was no blood but only flesh that burst into pieces along with the black robe.

‘Break!’
