Chapter 98 - The Emperor Knight Dies! (1/2)
“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.
