However, the sad atmosphere did not linger for long. The actual underlings of Qin Feng were the first to cheer up.
“Heh, what are you talking about? Like Qin Feng is going to die from that.” Zhou Hao said.
“You haven’t spent much time with our boss. So, it’s understandable. But this isn’t a huge crisis. Don’t worry.” Jin Fei nodded. He was the one who accompanied Qin Feng when he fought his way out of the City of Death. As such, he knew just how powerful and capable Qin Feng was.
Not only that, he had also witnessed how Qin Feng kicked many prodigies’ asses. Thus, after seeing all that, Jin Fei worshipped Qin Feng.
He believed that Qin Feng would be fine.
“Don’t worry. The governor is going to be alright!”
“Yeah! He’ll be fine!”
“The governor hasn’t even called for the A-tiers yet. So, this shows that he is confident that he can handle this.”
After hearing the comforting and reassuring words from the higher-ups, everyone started to feel better. Some of them even tailed behind Qin Feng in their hovercrafts and streamed the battle back to the city.
The Cinder Pine’s horrifying appearance on the screen had stiffened up the now lightened up atmosphere in the room. Although they had faith in Qin Feng, after seeing this creature they could not help but feel this intense fear.
It was a lingering, mortifying fear. One that seemed to take root in their hearts and souls.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng kept on running and running as he lured the gigantic fiery tree to an open area.
The ultra beasts in North Sea State were mostly weak. Thus, there were no other fearsome beasts in the area. Thus, when they ran to the open grounds, all the ultra beasts in the area immediately fled to safety.
The Cinder Pine, on the other hand, had only one target—Qin Feng.
“This monster… it’s quite fearsome indeed. Who was the one who killed this Cinder Pine before I was reborn… Hmm? Who was it?” Qin Feng tried to recall as he kept on running.
The one who destroyed this fiery, monstrous tree… it was not Shang Han. It was not any of the A-tiers that were sent to support her back then.
Still, information like this was classified. Qin Feng’s rank was too low to have the clearance to read the entire report. And when he finally got to A-tier, he had completely forgotten about this incident.
“Well, I don’t need to rely on others. I could just try to take it on myself. Even if I cannot kill it, we can still defeat it using the Floating City!”
After making up his mind, Qin Feng stopped running.
“Everyone on the hovercrafts. Stop broadcasting and back away by one thousand meters. Cut off communication. I repeat…” Qin Feng used his conscious energy to send an order to the hovercrafts.
Everyone on the hovercrafts was surprised when they heard this. However, it took only a few seconds for them to pull themselves together, “Yes, Sir!”
“Stop broadcasting! All hands on battle station!”
“Don’t peek!”
“Back away. One thousand meters!”
Due to how large the Cinder Pine was, it did not matter if they all retreated to one thousand meters away. They could still see it. However, Qin Feng now looked like a small tiny dot from a distance. Unless they used their conscious energy or internal energy to boost their eye sights, it was close to impossible for them to see him clearly.
Of course, Qin Feng did not want them to see him. That was why he gave that order.
He did not want too many people to know about his real powers.
After seeing that everyone was far away, Qin Feng put away his hand cannon and pulled out his Verdant Emperor Saber.
Due to him stopping, the Cinder Pine had already caught up to him. It shook its burning branches wildly, as though it was letting out a huge roar.
Creak Creack! Creaaak!!!
Several tree roots extended toward Qin Feng, grabbing his legs firmly.
Poooof!
Qin Feng slashed out his saber. The roots that got hold of Liu Ji like iron chains were sliced off like butter. Several roots were instantly cut off under the powerful fuchsia light emitted from Verdant Emperor Saber, leaving a huge hole between the roots.
“Move away!”
Qin Feng kicked at one of the roots as he waved his Verdant Emperor Saber fiercely, sending the dim black fuchsia ray of the blade dancing around in the area gracefully.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
The Cinder Pine’s roots were cut down again and again.
Creaaaak!!!!
The Cinder Pine shook its branches even more wildly now, seemingly furious at what Qin Feng was doing. Then, a fiery ray fell from the sky. It was the seeds of the tree. They were huge, like meteorites falling from the heavens.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fiery seeds all fell straight toward Qin Feng.
Explosion immediately erupted around him as fierce flames enveloped him. The explosion was so powerful that even the hovercrafts felt the shockwave from it. It was so powerful that the hovercrafts were shaking violently, triggering the alarm systems and emergency shields.
Their jaws were rolling on the ground after feeling the explosion’s shockwave. They could not imagine just how fierce and chaotic the actual fight that was going on there.
Meanwhile, the explosion had left a huge, charred hole in front of the Cinder Pine. Then, a young man, cladded in his combat armor, rushed out from the smokes.
It was Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was breathing heavily—he spent a lot of energy reinforcing his internal energy shield to survive that explosion. If it was not because of his sturdy Sacred Armor, Qin Feng would have suffered greatly—his skin might have been burned off entirely.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!
Several fiery seeds kept falling from the sky and toward Qin Feng.
Qin Feng increased his speed, trying to evade the attacks. He quickly took a sharp turn and fired a round of ice cannon balls at the Cinder Pine.
As the fiery seeds were all frozen up, Qin Feng quickly turned and ran. Then, he fired a few rounds of cannon balls at them again.
Qin Feng kept on attacking and retreating.
Half an hour later, the Floating City had finally arrived.
The Floating City was a powerful weapon that could kill even an A-tier aptitude user. Now that Qin Feng had modified and improved it, the Floating City was even more powerful than it was.
As minutes went by, the battle between Qin Feng and the Cinder Pine had become more and more intense.
Even though the Floating City had arrived, Qin Feng did not let his guard down. Instead, he kept on trying his best to attack the gigantic tree. Yet, this thing was too large. His attacks were not enough to take it down.
Qin Feng was like a small ant on the fiery tree. No matter how much he munched on the tree trunk, it was never enough to cut down the tree.
“The Floating City is almost there!”
“Three more minutes. Hang on, Sir!”
“How’s the governor?”
Many people were worried for Qin Feng as Qin Feng gave the Cinder Pine everything he got.
He knew just how powerful this thing was. This thing was the pinnacle of B-tier Beast Emperor. In fact, the Cinder Pine was almost as powerful as an A-tier. This thing was basically an incarnation of horror itself.
Despite how powerful Qin Feng was, he was still not able to take it down.
This thing was too huge!
It was then, reinforcement turned up. However, it was not the Floating City.
It was a man.
He was young and tall.
His eyes were blue in color, as though the entire ocean was carried in them. Nonetheless, this young man could indeed stir up a tsunami.
Bai Li too had sensed who this was. Her face turned pale immediately and teleported straight to Qin Feng’s side.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Bai Li had brought Qin Feng thousands of meters away.
If it were not for the hovercrafts being around, Bai Li really wanted to just grab him and turn tail—running as far as she could.
There were not many people that could spook Bai Li like this.
Qin Feng too was shocked when he saw the man.
“It’s you!”
That young man raised his head and smiled at Qin Feng, “Hi! Yes, it’s me.”
This young man… was Z!!
