The fact that Xue Jinkuang, who was a C-tier individual, had his communicator destroyed by Qin Feng was quite a terrifying thought by itself.
If his communicator were destroyed, that meant that what Qin Feng said earlier was even more… terrifying to think about!
“You. What have you done?” Xue Yumang was visibly upset.
Qin Feng had already drawn out his Verdant Emperor Saber.
“What did I do? You can ask Xue Jinkuang when you join him down there in hell!”
Qin Feng dashed toward Xue Yumang.
In everyone else’s eyes, Qin Feng’s blatant act was a solid declaration that Xue Jinkuang was dead.
Of course, they found it somewhat hard to accept.
“Perhaps Qin Feng heard Han Nuan’s cry for help and came back after shaking Xue Jinkuang off. Since Qin Feng was already an enemy of the Xue family, he might as well kill Xue Yumang because Xue Jinkuang is a much tougher opponent,” Chen Xiang said.
Ever since Qin Feng killed Lei Chang, everyone acknowledged that he had become much stronger than a normal aptitude user.
“That might be the case. But what really happened to Xue Jinkuang? It’s still a mystery!”
A C-tier aptitude user was a cause for concern because it was equivalent to being a region overlord.
“I didn’t contact Mr Qin!” Han Nuan said with much difficulty as she endured the pain all over her body. Even so, there was a look of faithfulness and joy in her eyes. “Mr Qin is not a person who likes to lie. Xue Jinkuang must be dead!”
Chen Xiang and Hu Liang looked at each other.
If this were real, that meant that the Xue family would be crossed off the list in the Four Cities of the North Sea.
After all, only two D-tier elders remained in the Xue family.
Moreover, they were both old men of over a hundred years old.
Despite being of the same generation as Xue Jinkuang, they had not progressed in their skills. They were D-tier beings who could die at any moment. Therefore, one could only imagine how weak they were.
Right then, Qin Feng and Xue Yumang were still engaged in a battle.
However, Xue Yumang was no match for Qin Feng.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was charging at Xue Yumang with his Verdant Emperor Saber which contained his internal force.
Afraid of going against him directly, Xue Yumang began dodging his attacks.
“Qin Feng, you will pay for what you are doing. You’re only struggling in the final moments before your death right now. Are you still trying to take me down with you? Think again!”
Xue Yumang had already begun thinking of ways to make his escape.
However, Qin Feng would not give him the opportunity to do so.
“You should listen to yourself. Those words of consolation don’t make any difference. You will end up dead anyway!” Qin Feng chuckled coldly as he began dashing even more quickly toward Xue Yumang.
Xue Yumang immediately turned around and began running away.
By then, everyone on the street had already gone back to their own houses because of the fight between Xue Yumang and Han Nuan.
It was impossible for Xue Yumang to ask for help from anyone.
“That’s it. Stop running!” Qin Feng chuckled coldly before he channeled his conscious energy.
“Magma Pillar!”
The ground below Xue Yumang instantly turned into magma. After a moment, a huge Magma Pillar thrusted him into the sky.
Zap! Zap! Zap!
A huge energy force thrusted against Xue Yumang’s internal force in his body.
Zap!
His internal force was being depleted rapidly.
Fortunately, Xue Yumang had already used his qinggong skills to dodge the Magma Pillar in a different direction. Even so, his internal force had been reduced by one-third.
Qin Feng continued to pursue after him.
“Burning Sword Glare!”
Once the Burning Sword Glare had been activated, a huge blade of over ten meters descended from the sky.
Xue Yumang gritted his teeth and activated his internal force once again to protect himself.
Bang!
As soon as the blade struck Xue Yumang, the shield of internal force was instantly crushed.
“Another slash!”
Qin Feng’s internal force seemed to be unlimited as he continued to use different powerful skills.
“Qin Feng, I’ll fight with you until I die!”
Xue Yumang channeled the blood in his body before he turned around and pushed his palm against Qin Feng.
The gust of wind energy imbued with his internal force collided against the blade energy of Qin Feng’s Verdant Emperor Saber.
In that moment, the gust of wind energy was split into half by the blade energy. Meanwhile, the blade energy continued to move forward before eventually landing on Xue Yumang’s body.
Without the protection of his internal force shield, Xue Yumang’s flesh received the full brunt of the damage from the slashing attack.
Splutter.
Xue Yumang was instantly knocked twenty meters away before he crashed into a banister by the road, crushing it along with the huge internal force in his body.
Qin Feng took the opportunity to pursue after him.
“Go to hell!”
The glimmer of a blade appeared before a person’s head rolled off onto the ground.
Xue Yumang—Dead!
People were shocked by Qin Feng who could kill a D-tier being with three strikes of his blade.
Right then, the people observing this battle in secret felt extremely remorseful.
It was always a difficult thing to offer help in a timely manner.
They could only make themselves feel better by thinking that Xue Jinkuang was not dead. Now that Qin Feng had gotten into trouble with a C-tier being, he might end up being killed too.
If these people were to help Qin Feng, would they not be killed by the C-tier expert as well?
However, did Qin Feng really kill Xue Jinkuang?
Despite being curious, none of them had the courage to ask Qin Feng about it.
Since Xue Yumang was not a wanted criminal, none of the D-tier elders could offer help in the Four Cities of the North Sea.
As Qin Feng gathered Xue Yumang’s Spatial Rune equipment, he activated his Asteroid Assimilation to absorb all three internal force mists from Xue Yumang’s body.
Thereafter, he burned Xue Yumang’s corpse into ashes.
When Qin Feng returned, Hu Liang had already summoned a water healer to take Han Nuan away in an ambulance.
“Han Nuan, you’ve done well!” Qin Feng exclaimed.
By then, Han Nuan seemed to have recovered the glimmer in her eyes.
“Boss, have I earned your trust?” Despite nearly losing her life, Han Nuan felt that it was all worth it.
“The feeling of trust is mutual. Don’t think too much about it. Tend to your wounds and get well soon. I won’t mistreat you!” Qin Feng responded.
Han Nuan nodded.
At that moment, Hu Liang approached them and handed the Spatial Button over to Qin Feng.
“Earlier, Han Nuan wanted me to look after this until you returned. We didn’t expect you to return this soon!”
Hu Liang had the intention of speaking up for Han Nuan. He was implying how Han Nuan was a great assistant. Despite not knowing if Qin Feng was dead or alive, she still stood up to a D-tier expert.
It was clear Han Nuan was a loyal person.
Getting the hint from what Hu Liang said, Qin Feng accepted the item. However, he then returned it to Han Nuan.
Nothing had changed!
Hu Liang could not resist asking, “Qin Feng, tell me the truth. What happened to Xue Jinkuang?”
“He’s dead,” Qin Feng said.
Hu Liang’s eyes became wide open. “Are you certain?”
“I have no reason to lie to you about things like this!”
Hu Liang’s heart pounded while his mind began to race.
“How could that be? Qin Feng, you are merely at the D1-tier. How were you able to kill Xue Jinkuang? Xue Jinkuang has dominated the Four Cities of the North Sea for many years. Nobody has dared to assassinate him. Perhaps it’s not even something one would dare think about. How did you do it?”
Qin Feng laughed. “General Hu, I never said that I was the one who killed Xue Jinkuang!”
Hu Liang was stunned.
“Who did it then?”
Qin Feng’s gaze shifted to somewhere in the distance. In front of a shop with broken walls and fashionable clothes still on display, Bai Li seemed to be engrossed with checking the clothes out.
“It was her!”
Qin Feng pointed at Bai Li.
When Hu Liang’s gaze landed upon the same direction, he could see Bai Li picking clothes out like a shopaholic.
Hu Liang’s face turned dark.
“Qin Feng, don’t mess with me. How could it possibly be Bai Li. Although she is very strong, it still…”
“Haha. I’m telling the truth. Don’t you believe me?” Qin Feng chuckled. “All you need to know is that Xue Jinkuang is dead. That is all! If you don’t believe me, just wait for a while!”
Time would prove everything!
