Clang!

  The window shattered instantly. The bomb landed inside the room.

  Boom!

  A loud explosion occurred, followed by a cloud of dense, dark smoke.

  The thick smoke was created from dark runes.

  It was a reinforced smoke bomb.

  In the darkness, a few aptitude users rose and rushed toward Qin Feng.

  Qin Feng did not recognize all of them!

  Within moments, there were at least three swords that had locked on to Qin Feng’s arm. His hand would be severed if he did not pull back.

  “Be careful!” warned Chen Siang the moment he felt the killing intent within the thick smoke.

  However, he too was being manipulated by the dark runes and could not see his surroundings clearly.

  “Trying to kill me? I’d sure like to see if you’re capable!”


  Boom! An intense aura spread out from Qin Feng.

  In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng was surrounded by a layer of internal strength.

  They pierced their swords against the latter’s internal strength.

  Naturally, internal strength also existed within their swords. However, they were unable to penetrate Qin Feng’s internal strength when they came into contact with it!

  Their internal strength was lacking.

  Qin Feng inserted the beast emperor crystal core into his spatial rune equipment without any fuss.

  The people around him panicked.

  “Men, we must charge together!”


  “It’s not possible, how could he be this strong!”


  “He ain’t got even a D-tier badge on him and he looks like he just came back from the frontline. Could he be from some great family?”


  “There’s no other great family here!”


  “We’ll kill him and get the beast emperor crystal core!”


  These people’s words incited many others.

  With the thick cloud of black smoke, all of them were trying to approach Qin Feng with bad intentions.

  But they would have never guessed that Qin Feng could see through the black fog as clear as day. It did not impair his sights and senses in the slightest.

  Within the darkness, Hou Yangjiao’s amusement, Tieh Lei’s silence, as well as Lei Chang’s delight were exposed for all to see.

  Chen Siang who was standing right beside Qin Feng furrowed his brows. He was getting nervous as the attacks against Qin Feng were affecting himself.

  “Get out! Don’t push your luck!” Chen Siang was enraged.

  Although they had only met for a short moment, Chen Siang did not want the young man to die here.

  In the next moment, through intentions alone, Chen Siang manifested a piece of sharp rock in midair.

  He was an earth-elemental ability user!

  No wonder he was so modest previously. Even the mention of a C-tier aptitude user did not shake him.

  Ability users were a rare occurrence. They were naturally proud races.

  The rock turned into half a sphere and shielded Qin Feng from enemies to his right. He had helped Qin Feng unknowingly!

  Yet, Chen Siang did not speak in the darkness.

  “Mind your own business!”


  A deep voice came through!

  The person who spoke had used internal energy to change his voice. He still kept his attacks up however and crushed through Chen Siang’s attack.

  The battleground was chaotic. Chen Siang was dripping sweat from his forehead. His consciousness was wavering.

  Qin Feng understood now that Chen Siang was trying to help him.

  Not everyone was a bad guy in the end times. There were still people who stood by their principles.

  “Thanks, Brother Chen!” Qin Feng passed his message through internal energy to Chen Siang.

  Chen Siang was surprised. Sending voice through internal energy would require Qin Feng to know his position. On the other hand, Chen Siang could scan the whole place with his conscious energy.

  “What are you waiting for? Make your escape now!” Chen Siang sent out his voice using his consciousness.

  “Haha, Brother Chen, you go on ahead, I’ll follow soon!”


  As he spoke, Qin Feng pushed out with both his hands. A gentle yet unnerving internal strength enveloped Chen Siang and pushed him away!

  Clang!

  The windows were shattered. Chen Siang was sent out the window.

  Looking around, three other people were still harassing Qin Feng. Even though they were still surrounded by the dark fog, they were too close to him and knew his position.

  “Hand over the beast emperor crystal core and you might still live.”


  “Why don’t you stop now and I’ll spare your lives!”


  Too bad nobody did.

  After hearing Qin Feng’s words, they were able to confirm his position and charged head-on.

  Qin Feng sneered when he saw what was happening. His internal strength shot up.

  In his hand, a sword burning in blue flames appeared from thin air.

  “Blooming Flame!”


  A mesmerizingly beautiful blue flame spread out in an instant.

  The dark runic fog was abruptly washed away by the huge aura.

  The three unknown ancient warriors were now exposed.

  Swoosh!

  The chilling edge of the blade was like a silver flower.

  Fwoosh!

  Wounds began appearing on all three of them. Gushes of blood streamed out!

  “Argghhhh!”


  Thus, the wailings began.

  The three men fell to the ground. But there were still more charging in from behind. Qin Feng was like a piece of fat meat to them. Their eyes were lit up.

  Qin Feng sneered again, setting his intent in motion.

  “Fire Dragon!”


  “Aughhh!”


  The scarlet fire dragon’s eyes set its sights upon the hall, sweeping all of them to the ground.

  Now that Qin Feng had obtained the beast emperor crystal core of the Blue Flame Peacock, his consciousness was at the same level as an emperor. His fire dragon became even more scorching, sending fear into others.

  These D-tier aptitude users were trying to resist using their internal strength or conscious energy.

  They were struggling beneath the fire dragon’s howl.

  Qin Feng, on the other hand, seemed like he was beyond everyone.

  “Merely such strength? And yet you dare to attack me?”


  Qin Feng mocked them before triggering his Phantom Motion Steps and vanishing into thin air.

  The fire dragon’s appearance had swept away the dark fog. Qin Feng appeared in front of Lei Chang. Naturally, Lei Chang was able to see him.

  “Qin Feng, how dare you!”


  Lei Chang shouted at him with a quivering voice.

  He thought he was about to be killed.

  But Qin Feng did not plan to kill Lei Chang. He did not, however, plan to let him go as well.

  “Fiery Peacock!”


  In the next moment, a blue-colored peacock flew toward Lei Chang and shattered his ancient internal strength barrier.

  Boom!

  The fiery peacock charged at Lei Chang, launching him to one of the hall’s pillars.

  Qin Feng turned around and raised his hand. He was pointing at Tieh Lei’s position.

  “Magma Rush!”


  A large pile of flames gathered on the ground. The floor began to melt and turned into lava.

  Boom!

  The magma ejected from the ground and blew Tieh Lei to the ceiling.

  Clang!

  It tore a hole in the roof. The dark, starry sky outside was now visible.

  Qin Feng scanned his surroundings. Within the auction aisles, all twenty-over people who tried to ambush Qin Feng had been defeated.

  He pointed at the fire dragon. The dragon shot up into the clouds, making another hole in the roof.

  “I’ll spare you guys since it’s my first time to Shadong Town. I won’t go easy on you guys next time!”


  After his speech, the peacock’s feathers fanned out behind Qin Feng. They turned into two blue wings that carried him into the skies.

  As he was being carried through the crowd, he snatched a person up and flew through the hole in the roof, disappearing from within their sights.

  In a building outside the Wanzong Auction House, a group of people had gathered around. They were the people who were smart enough to save themselves when the chaos broke out.

  The one at the lead was Chen Siang.

  Scarlet-blue flames that lit up the tallest floor of the auction house were reflecting off their eyes.

  “The newborn calf sure fears no tiger!”
