Chapter 711 - Dark Coalition Crackdown (1/2)

Everyone in Dragon Capital knew that Qin Feng was a prodigy.

Prodigies could overcome the challenges and boundaries before them, Qin Feng could slay a C-tier beast emperor while being a C-tier himself and could even challenge a B-tier beast king. It was just that the markings of his badge made many people subconsciously ignore that.

After all, in Dragon Capital, B-tiers were the mainstream powerhouses, the A-tiers made up the upper levels of hierarchy and the S-tiers were the strongest of them all!

“How is he that fast? The last time he showed up he was only C2, right?”

“Who knows, maybe he never updated his badge before and he was concealing it. He has a dark type ability after all!”

“I wonder how it would look like if he fought other ability users!”

“He even survived a place like the Divine Mountain!”

“They say he killed an A-tier beast emperor in the eastern sea, one that had almost advanced into a beast deity!”

“Is that for real?”

The discussion about Qin Feng seemed to be endless, but there was one outstanding subject. More and more people had become aware of Qin Feng’s strength and had been paying more and more attention.

“Looks like Qin Feng has a lot of confidence in himself!”

This thought floated around in many people’s heads, including Sheng Lian’s.

After the technology announcement that day, Sheng Lian was angry enough to cough out blood but did not take any action.

Previously, he said that fighting Qin Feng was not a big deal but this time he did not dare to do such a thing.

Later on, Qin Feng released Sheng Hua, who activated a spatial waymark the moment he was able to and returned to Dragon Capital. Due to his serious injury he was immediately taken away for treatment.

Sheng Lian naturally arrived quickly.

“Why were you so careless to be caught by Qin Feng?” Sheng Lian did not care that Sheng Hua was injured and immediately went on with the questioning.

Sheng Hua was lying in the hospital bed at the time in an extremely weak state. He felt embarrassed by Sheng Lian’s line of questioning.

“My Lord, to be honest I don’t know how Qin Feng discovered us. At that time, Li Keqing and I were moving around 100 meters underground. I used my dark ability to conceal us and Li Keqing was moving forward using his earth ability. Even if someone were to discover us, they couldn’t have been able to catch us if they weren’t an earth ability user!”

Sheng Lian’s eyebrows furrowed, this situation was more complicated than he thought.

“100 meters? How is that… you have to elaborate!”

Sheng Hua did not hide it either. He spoke about how he and Li Keqing suddenly appeared somewhere else as well as what happened to Li Keqing afterward, and how Qin Feng destroyed his legs.

Sheng Lian was deep in thought for a moment.

“Did you feel any shift from spatial runes?”

“My Lord, I also have doubts because I found out that something was wrong and transmitted a message to Li Keqing. Originally, I thought of using a spatial waymark and using the earth ability to cause some destruction as our cover to buy us some time. However, my spatial waymark did not activate and Li Keqing… was dead!”

Sheng Lian’s expression became even more solemn.

He never expected Qin Feng to be so strong, and even had a spatial ability which made it impossible for people to defend against him. If he wanted to fight back there was nobody that could stop him.

“My Lord, what should we do after this?” Sheng Hua asked.

Sheng Lian was quiet for a while; as if he did not want to answer; and was thinking that Sheng Hua’s role in this was not small and could not be ignored.

Sheng Hua was special. He was a rare dark ability user and had been trained as a killer since his youth, as such he had done a lot of disgraceful things.

Due to this, he was important.

“What do you think?”

Sheng Hua spoke but with difficulty, “My Lord, I think it is better if we don’t continue provoking Qin Feng.”

“Eh?” Sheng Lian looked at the man with surprise. “I thought that since you got slighted like this that you’d want me to organize someone to get back at him?”
