282 Three Billion Bounty (1/2)
The entire Xue family was rocked by the news.
”How is this possible?” The Seventh Elder exclaimed distressingly.
However, no matter how outrageous it seemed, nobody could deny the fact that they had all died in the hands of a single bounty hunter.
The Seventh Elder played the videos sent to him one by one with a trembling hand.
He was not the only one being stupefied. Every member of the Xue family found it difficult to swallow the hard truth.
All the young blood dispatched along with the elders this time encompassed an entire generation of young talents painstakingly developed by the Xue family.
Similar to the colony, teenagers were the greatest asset for this family. Youngsters would be awakened at the age of sixteen and cultivate for another sixteen years before they could serve the family.
Other than talent, the development of an aptitude user also lay heavily on the opportunities present. To any young user, the chance to observe the fight of a D-tier aptitude user first hand was hard to come by. Those who were given such an opportunity were no doubt the top of their class.
Who would have thought that they would all be annihilated?
If Xue Yuan was considered the best talent in the seventh generation, then those who went with Xue Yuheng would be ranked in at least the top twenty.
The Xue family would probably run out of descendents in a few years after this disaster.
”How could this happen? Could there be a trap? Is someone trying to hunt us down? Who would that be? Who has such bravery to challenge us?”
While they were speculating, the subsequent videos silenced everyone.
Apparently, there was neither an ambush nor another D-tier aptitude user on the scene. Bloodhunter was the indisputable culprit that had killed every last one of them.
”I thought he was only an E-tier? How did he manage to kill the Fifth Elder?”
”Look, we can view the fight between Fifth Elder and Bloodhunter clearly from this angle. Could it be that the Fifth Elder was suffering the repercussions from Inferno Blood in the middle of the battle?”
”Sigh. The Fifth Elder was severely injured in the past. He should not have been given the job after all.”
The effect of Qin Feng's Asteroid Assimilation at the end of their battle indeed resembled the side effects of the Inferno Blood Secret Art. Thus, it led to the speculation that the Fifth Elder was killed by accident.
Regardless of the truth, the current pressing issue was whether they should continue seeking revenge.
This was when another message was delivered.
”How dare you!” The Seventh Elder bellowed infuriatingly.
Everyone else clenched their fists and stared at their communicators furiously.
Those were evidence proving Bloodhunter had claimed the bounty for Xue Linhan and the two deacons from the Xue family. A huge stamp that read ”completed” was clearly seen imprinted on the posters.
Below the wanted poster was a string of numbers representing the reward on their heads. Killing three of them had earned Bloodhunter at least one billion.
Bloodhunter had even left a comment below, ”It's too bad that Xue Yuheng's bounty had expired.”
As if that was not enough to humiliate the Xue family, other bounty hunters chipped in and commended Qin Feng's achievements.
”I noticed that Bloodhunter is just an E-tier user. Is that true? If my memory serves me right, Xue Yuheng was a D-tier elder from the Xue family. How did this guy defeat him?”
”1 billion! That's a lot of money.”
”What kind of grudge does this Bloodhunter hold against the Dark Coalition?”
”Clearly, the elder from the Xue family was trying to avenge his family member killed earlier but he paid with his own life instead.”
”Wonderful!”
Everyone in the network cheered for Qin Feng after someone brought up the dark history of the Xue family.
Those from the Xue family were exasperated. Before Bloodhunter emerged, anyone who dared to bad mouth about the Xue family was no different from having invited destruction to his or her entire family.
Now, nobody seemed to be afraid anymore. Many joined in on the denouncement openly. Years of the reputation built up by the Xue family was smashed overnight. Qin Feng had successfully lifted the people's fear toward the Xue family with his heroic act.
