Chapter 639: 639

Chapter 639: Human Offerings

Qin Feng’s plan was obviously to conquer everything by himself, but it was still not the right time .

Therefore, Qin Feng explained, “That Cinder Pine looks suspicious, it can devour anything, and after absorbing dead human bodies, it can even produce Cinderclast Golems . In my opinion, in such a situation, the best way is to take it down as soon as possible to cut short the suffering!”

All three of them were assured by the statement, it seemed like their trip there was not wasted .

He Liming continued, “That’s great, I’m afraid that there are a bunch of people that would like to gain some benefits from this!”

Qin Feng understood the hint, but he remained calm in his answer . “Yes, I only hope to eliminate the threat as soon as possible, nothing else!”

The three of them carried on with their discussion, and perhaps it was because of the huge temptation, three of them could not wait to take a look outside . Hence, all of them went out without much of a delay .

Qin Feng stood on the second floor of the villa, his expression seemed calm, but his heart was pounding .

“If only the situation is that simple! Perhaps, they are not expecting things to have evolved so drastically!”

It had proven that all three of them were too naïve .

Gathering of people with different interests would often bring clashes, and when profits were associated, killings would take place .

On the first day, He Liming and the others were swift in their killings, although they were not as powerful as Qin Feng, it was still easy for them to take down two hundred C-tier Cinderclast Golems each .

It was a whopping six trillion each day, when recalled in the early days of Quong Po, it was equivalent to all he had . Not only that, he would be left with nothing after the purchase of a B-tier beast emperor material .

Meaning to say, with all that money, all of their rune equipment could be switched and upgraded to the next level .

Such an upgrade would definitely bring shocking results .

Also, it was just the first day .

However, there were another five B-tier aptitude users that had arrived the next day .

Another nine on the third day .

Another thirteen on the fourth day .

Within just four days, the Cinderclast Golem territory was already packed with approximately thirty B-tiers, and it was insanely horrifying .

Even at the Dusan Basin, during the peak season of the spring insectoid wave, there were only ten B-tiers present at a time!

The Cinderclast Golems were definitely valuable and highly sought after, however, there were only about ten thousands of them .

What would be the solution then?

A resolution was swiftly made by the B-tiers, the three-kilometre area would be equally divided, and each of them would have their own designated area to hunt .

Any B-tiers that joined in later would have to fight for their slot .

It was because not every B-tier would take part in the matter of occupying territories .

There were sixteen B-tiers from the Dark Coalition, fourteen from the Human Alliance, and the newcomers would have to fight for the territories of their opponents, and every encounter would then lead to the eruption of a battle .

Under such a complicated situation, most of them were engaged into battle, although they were still being cautious and restricted, there were still two deaths that had occurred .

Within four days, the Cinderclast Golem territory had become unexpectedly smaller compared to the previous three-kilometre radius, only the surrounding area of the Cinder Pine was left, and almost all of the Cinderclast Golems had been killed .

The grounds were devastated with unpleasant looking pot holes that were left from previous magma pools, and the aftermath of the disaster was revolting .

B-tiers that had arrived earlier would have definitely benefited, and those that came later could only hold on to their resentment and the completely scavenged area .

Meanwhile, within a private room of a luxurious hotel in Cinderclast City, sixteen people had gathered together . Fourteen of them were B-tiers, and it was a contradicting moment when two of the remaining C-tiers were sitting on the chairman seats, they were none other than Qin Feng and Bai Li .

“Everyone, now that the Cinderclast Golems have disappeared, only the Cinder Pine is left behind, with its current gigantic size of approximately three hundred meters in height, I often feel that evolvement of the outcome would go out of control, why not we join our forces to take down the Cinder Pine?” Qin Feng suggested .

Some of them agreed, while some of them were obviously unhappy about it .

Although they knew nothing about the reward that might come after the eradication of the Cinder Pine, however, they were certainly dissatisfied about the current situation .

“Governor Qin has his point, it is because of Governor Qin and Miss Bai that we are able to sustain our competition against the Dark Coalition . However, the Cinder Pine is a bizarre and rare encounter!”

“Yes, the Cinder Pine is able to grow by consuming offerings, surprisingly, it can consume anything as well . Perhaps if we move in and offer some rocks, it could even reproduce something else in large amounts!”

As soon as the sentence ended, everyone seemed to be intrigued by the idea, and some were even tempted to try it .

However, Qin Feng let out a mocking laugh and answered, “Is that true? Perhaps all of you might not have noticed the sudden spike in temperature that has taken place recently!”

“Oh? Has it?”

“I don’t think so, perhaps the beginning of the spring season is near!”

It was only February, and the North Sea state would usually be at negative ten to twenty degree Celsius, it should be in its winter season with occasional snow . However, the temperature had already risen to about positive ten degree celsius . Aptitude users who were unaffected by temperature change would definitely be unaware of it, but the clothing attire of the commoners have changed .

Bai Li had also taken the opportunity to change into her butterfly emperor long dress, and she looked even more stunning in it . Everyone present were B-tiers that knew her true powers, even those two B-tiers that had died were both killed by Bai Li .

Qin Feng explained, “To be honest, eradicating the Cinder Pine would be for a good cause, and I believe all of you are familiar with my girlfriend’s capabilities and her excellent spatial ability . Even without it, we could still trail back to the previous traces of the rift to activate the spatial passage, bear in mind that it would be equivalent to exploring another unknown region, if that unknown region is also filled with such creatures…”

By that time, they could kill as many as they wished .

Hence, the B-tier aptitude users were a little convinced by the idea .

It was at that moment; Qin Feng was alerted by the sudden beeping of his communicator .

“Qin Feng, something bad has happened!” All of a sudden, Zhou Hao shouted .

Qin Feng was stunned, and before he could ask further, Zhou Hao had already poured out everything that he wanted to say .

“It is the group from the Dark Coalition, they are bringing at least five massively-sized passenger hovercrafts, they are all filled with people, and they are now dumping them down in the direction of the Cinder Pine!”

Qin Feng’s expression instantly changed .

“Understood, I’ll be there immediately!”

Qin Feng did not hide that information from the others, and all of them were also shocked to receive such sudden news .

All they had thought of was to throw in stones and trees, and they had missed out the idea of throwing in humans!

However, the enhanced effect of the intelligent species on the Cinder Pine would undoubtedly be insanely impactful .

“Bai Li, let’s go!”

Qin Feng had no time to care about the varied views of the others, and he did not wish to continue the discussion with them either, he immediately commanded Bai Li and teleported .

Swoosh!

Qin Feng and Bai Li had already left the hotel, they were instantly relocated to a pitch-black surrounding in the wilderness .

Under the dark sky, there was a brightly lit area at a far off distance, and when looked from afar, the umbrella-shaped tree was still visible .

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Within the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had already gotten close to it .

There were indeed five massively-sized passenger hovercrafts that were in the sky, they were about the same as the hover trains, one of them could carry at least a hundred passengers .

The cabin doors of the hovercrafts were then opened up, and shadows of human bodies were being dumped continuously onto the Cinder Pine!

“Ah ah ah!”

Horrifyingly miserable shrieks echoed across the night sky .

Chapter 640: Chapter 640 – Rescue

Chapter 640: Rescue

Qin Feng’s face turned grim when he saw what was happening .

These human sacrifices might have been the people the Dark Coalition kidnapped from the villages in the area . It could also be their own people that were living in their own territories .

To be frank, he knew about this incident before he was reborn .

The Human Alliance, naturally, was disgusted by this and openly criticized this action . Over a dozen B-tiers’ names were pinned on the bounty list and these poor sods were hunted wherever they went .

Some of them even got chased out of the Huaxia Alliance’s borders . And the B-tiers from the Human Alliance that were in the scene too were brought in for questioning and punished . Why did they not stop these murderers from doing what they were doing—it was because they themselves wanted to hunt the Cinderclast Golems . As such, they waited until the Dark Coalition was done with their human sacrifice offering before attacking .

Resources were scarce .

These golems were resources . And their materials were quite valuable .

As such, these people from the Human Alliance had thrown away their good conscience after realizing that they had something to gain if they simply closed one eye, for just a short moment .

And this time, Qin Feng had information about the location of the incident . And thus, he acted first and hunted the Cinderclast Golems . Things were supposed to have changed .

Yet, these Dark Coalition jerks still showed up and did things like this .

Of course, this time they were not able to bring as many human sacrifices as he remembered . Qin Feng remembered from the report that they had at least brought five thousand people to sacrifice them to the Cinder Pine .

Now, due to the limited time they had, they could not prepare that many human sacrifices .

Regardless, the number of people they were throwing down there was still obscenely enormous . Qin Feng must stop them before the horrifying history repeats itself again .

So, as soon as the Dark Coalition began their operation, Qin Feng acted right away .

Fifty people were thrown down to the Cinder Pine—their bodies were pierced through by the tree branches, killing them on the spot before the fire had even started burning their flesh . As the corpses were burning, a Cinder Flower had borne its fruit and dropped it down to the ground . New Cinderclast Golems were born one by one .

In a wink of an eye, about sixty Cinderclast Golems had appeared before everyone’s eyes . The B-tiers were overjoyed when they saw this . These human sacrifices were worth very little in their eyes . Thus, exchanging one worthless life for 5 billion was a very good deal .

“You human filth!!!”

Qin Feng bellowed out furiously as he extended his Blue Fire Wings and darted to the sky .

Of course, these B-tiers knew who he was . Their faces turned grim instantly when they saw him .

“Quick! Stop him!”

“We can’t allow him to ruin our plan!”

“Just kill him . This kid is the governor of the North Sea State . That new city was also founded by him . After killing him, we could sacrifice an entire city to these trees! That’s a whole lot of easy money for us, you know . ”

They knew that the Human Alliance did not have enough manpower to handle the safety of a small backwater place like this .

With the Human Alliance retracting their aptitude users from these places and reassigning them to other much more dangerous areas, the Dark Coalition had more room to navigate around here . This included calling in more reinforcement .

The Dark Coalition had a lot of time on their hands after all .

“Yeah! Let’s kill him!”

“This moron came alone! What a golden opportunity!”

“This is what he gets for sticking his nose into others’ business!”

“Well, to be fair, it’s his job to come handle this place’s security . ”

“Job? Only idiots would care about these stupid responsibilities!”

Thus, sixteen men leaped into the air to face Qin Feng .

“Die!!!”

The ancient warriors wielded their weapons as they leaped into the air .

“Stop them!” Qin Feng ordered .

Bai Li instantly warped to the air and whipped out a dash of silver ray .

“Teleportation!”

Whoosh Whoosh Whooosh!!

Four B-tiers were teleported to the ground in an instant . They looked around and were surprised to find out that they were sent five thousand meters away from where they were . It would take them quite some time to hurry back to the scene .

Bai Li snapped her fingers and a huge silver chest appeared in the air and boxed in three aptitude users .

Then, she darted in the air like the wind, taking on a dozen men . Although she was not able to stop them all at once, Bai Li did buy Qin Feng enough time to fly toward the hovercraft .

Cannon shells were fired at him as he got closer .

However, in the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had vanished!

“Wha… What?! Where did he go?”

The C-tier that was piloting the hovercraft panicked when he lost his target . Cold sweat rolled down his forehead .

This man knew about how powerful Qin Feng was because he had spent some time in the area . The young man was, at first, a governor of this backwater state . Yet, after several people tried to taunt and bring trouble to his turf, these people had all suffered the consequences and were never heard of since .

And now, as seconds went by, he saw that Qin Feng was able to fight B-tiers head on . Bai Li had already slain two B-tiers in the fight too .

The poor C-tier gunner would not want to take on a fearsome enemy like this .

Now, seeing that Qin Feng had vanished into thin air, all he could do now was panic .

Then, a loud explosion could be heard from ahead .

Boom!

The bulletproof glass of the cockpit was smashed into pieces before a silhouette zipped next to him .

It was Qin Feng!

“Aaargh!!”

The C-tier cried out in horror . He did not even have the time to pull out his weapon before the golden rune equipment slashed through his head .

Thud!

His head rolled on the floor as soon as the golden saber slashed through his neck .

Wasting no time, Qin Feng quickly ran his fingers on the cockpit’s keys . In no time, the hovercraft started to descend to the ground .

Then, Qin Feng opened the cockpit door to scan the entire craft with his conscious energy .

There were only five C-tiers onboard . Now that he had slain the pilot, there were only four left .

Whoosh!

Qin Feng appeared behind a C-tier like a phantom and stabbed his golden rune sabre into the man’s heart .

Then, in a quick vertical slash, he was able to hit another C-tier ancient warrior .

Crush!

The ancient warrior’s internal energy shield was crushed in an instant .

“Arggh! It’s Qin Feng!”

A C-tier cried out in fear as his internal force burst forth from his body . In under a second, green vines grew out of his body, wanting to grab Qin Feng .

Qin Feng glared at him with his conscious energy and sent a wave of flames at him . In a bat of an eye, all the vines were burned to crisp .

As the flames were still clackering in the air, Qin Feng wielded his golden rune sabre and struck like the wind . His foes were blinded by the bright flames so they could not respond properly . Not only that, even if they could respond, Qin Feng was too quick for them to fight back anyway .

Fwoosh!

An aptitude user’s neck was stabbed . Then, another . And another .

Three men’s necks were stabbed by Qin Feng like a meat skewer in one hit .

The last C-tier saw that the odds were now stacked against him; so, he opted to open the craft’s door and jumped out . He was done . He was not going to lose his life fighting with this powerful governor!

Qin Feng did not bother to pursue him . Instead, he ran out of the hovercraft and climbed straight to the roof .

He took less than ten seconds to murder the crap out of the four men in the craft . As such, the hovercraft had only flown about ten meters during the time he killed all of these men .

Qin Feng accumulated his internal energy and leaped into the air! It was a several dozen meters leap! And he landed on another hovercraft .

Then, he got to working again with great speed .

Thus, the four hovercrafts all changed course after Qin Feng had taken care of the aptitude users inside .

“Heh! Qin Feng! So, you want to save these people, right? I’ll see how you’re gonna save this one!”

An ancient warrior, who came running back from afar, slashed a powerful strike at the last hovercraft that was trying to steer away from Qin Feng .

Clank!

The hovercraft was slashed in half!

Chapter 641: Chapter 641 – Feeding B-tiers to Cinder Pine

Chapter 641: Feeding B-tiers to Cinder Pine

Pzzzt! Crack! Pzzt!

The Cinder Pine ignited from the explosion but was not damaged . However, the human corpses that fell out of it had all been devoured by it .

A short moment later, about eighty Cinderclast Golems walked out of the fire!

Qin Feng was furious when he saw this . And yet, the B-tier still yelled out to taunt him .

“Come on! Go save them! I’ll see how you save them . Qin Feng, you’re just a little piece of dirt in the alliance’s hierarchy . I’ll tell you what . I’ll come again with another huge load of human beings and unload them all onto the tree too! Let’s see how you’re gonna stop me!”

Qin Feng was now completely pissed .

“No, you don’t need to . Because I won’t give you this chance . ” Qin Feng replied coldly .

“No need to? You mean you are the one that doesn’t need to come, right?”

“Qin Feng, no matter how strong you are, you can’t handle this many B-tiers’ attacks . ”

“Yeah, you’ll die today . Right here . Right now!”

The other B-tiers that had rushed to the scene hovered in the air and surrounded Qin Feng and Bai Li .

Bai Li did not bother to do crowd control so these B-tiers that surrounded them did not know any better .

Qin Feng said, “Say, you like to do human sacrifices to the Cinder Pine, right? Then, how about you be the human sacrifice?”

After saying so, Qin Feng’s golden rune sabre disappeared from his hand before a helm appeared on his head .

Vooom!

A presence emitted out of Qin Feng . Suddenly, an invisible aura started to envelop Qin Feng and his combat armor .

Then, a weapon appeared in his hand .

Its hilt was black with its blade emitting a fuchsia ray . Although they could not lock onto the blade with their eyes and conscious energy, they could feel that the blade was vibrating .

Booom!!

A powerful presence burst out of Qin Feng’s body . Despite wearing heavy armor, Qin Feng’s speed was insanely fast . Despite the B-tiers already having him locked on, they could not keep up with his speed .

As he moved rapidly around them, his body had turned into a series of mirror images, dazzling the B-tiers .

Even the guy who was taunting him earlier too felt tremendously threatened . He quickly summoned his internal energy to form a barrier around him as he took his massive shield from his back and hid behind it!

This man was quite famous in the underworld . He had trained his body forcefully to the point where he had superhuman strength . The shield that was in his hand right now was actually his weapon too—it was not just for defense but also used to incur deadly blunt damage on his enemies .

It was then, he could feel that a silhouette had appeared before him . It was Qin Feng! The only one that was hostile to him right now was Qin Feng .

His body responded before his mind did and rammed his massive shield at the enemy in front of him with a massive force!

Booom!!

A loud explosion could be heard in front of him . The silhouette slowed down to a halt and showed its real self—it was indeed Qin Feng .

Qin Feng, on the other hand, took his dark fuchsia blade and struck on the massive shield . The intensely powerful energy on the shield was obliterated in an instant .

And then, the shield started to crack .

The crack expanded and expanded in all directions… like a spider web .

Finally, the B-tier gawked at his hand as his shield broke to pieces in it .

“Die . ”

Qin Feng swiped his newly enhanced Verdant Emperor Saber at this B-tier ancient warrior .

Psssst!

The internal energy shield was crushed in an instant .

The ancient warrior panicked and directed the rest of his internal energy with his wailing hands, trying to stop Qin Feng from harming him .

However, there was no way to stop his Verdant Emperor Saber .

Poof!!

Blood sprayed out like a fountain as the man’s arm was cut down like butter .

The arm fell from the sky and straight into the Cinder Pine below . It was devoured almost immediately . The Cinder Pine started to wave around, seemingly happy that it could have this meal—it seemed to prefer to devour this arm that the others .

Thud Thud Thud!!

Several flowers immediately bore fruits and turned into Cinderclast Golems .

Meanwhile, the battle in the sky was still going on fiercely .

Qin Feng did not use much of his energy to clean up these filthy criminals .

Suspended in mid-air, the B-tier ancient warrior could not utilize his leg muscles to run away . As such, all he could do now was watch Qin Feng approach him again with his saber and… .

Vooom!!!

The Verdant Emperor Saber was stabbed straight into his stomach . Due to the fierce vibration the blade emitted, his wound was torn open, it became larger and larger as blood kept spurting out .

“Ugh…ah… you… . ”

The man seemed to still want to say something . However, Qin Feng did not bother to entertain him any further . He pulled out his weapon and zipped upward to the sky before crashing down with a kick .

Fwoosh!

Like a sandbag, the ancient warrior could do nothing but receive the strike in full blow before falling down from the sky and onto the Cinder Pine .

The tree, as soon as it devoured the man, quickly produced more fruits and grew about ten meters in height .

It was apparent that a B-tier was much more nutritious than one hundred men to the Cinder Pine .

On the other hand, Qin Feng had killed a B-tier in less than three minutes .

Of course, he was not going to stop there .

All of these men… they needed to die!

Thus, Qin Feng zipped straight to the B-tier crowd like a ghostly phantom .

Three gunners immediately utilized their conscious energies to wield their guns and started spraying attacks at Qin Feng .

“Deflection!”

Qin Feng’s conscious energy was formidable . In a split second, their bullets were completely stopped and deflected away from him .

“Gu… Guys! Let’s go! Let’s kill him!!”

A horrifying gust of wind blew past a B-tier ability user and formed a small, three-meter wide hurricane, with thousands of wind blades swirling inside . If Qin Feng was trapped in it, he would be cut to pieces .

“Child’s play . ”

Qin Feng slashed out his Verdant Emperor Saber with his powerful internal energy—his internal energy formed into a massive blade and cut the hurricane in half .

In that short instance, four B-tiers rushed over and surrounded Qin Feng .

“Die!”

“Three-Smiley Foray!”

“Star Slasher!”

“Thousand Stabs!”

Several attacks landed on Qin Feng’s internal energy shield .

Booom!!

Only a few drops of energy on the shield was depleted . They could only leave a small scratch on it despite how hard they attacked .

Qin Feng’s internal energy was too powerful for them to break through .

“Get lost!!!”

Qin Feng bellowed furiously as he slashed out his Verdant Emperor Saber .

Pwoof!!!

The B-tiers’ internal energy shields were instantly crushed .

Clank!!

Their armors and rune equipment were completely destroyed by the blade .

Then, Qin Feng warped behind one of these men .

“Die!”

In one slash, half of the man’s body was cut and torn to shreds .

His body fell from the sky before he was able to whimper .

There was no one that could stop Qin Feng .

Kill! Kill kill kill kill!!!

The Ancient Warriors were completely slain . In under twenty minutes, six of them were completely killed!

And the Cinder Pine kept growing and growing . Now it was already three hundred seventy meters tall!

There were still ten B-tiers left .

Some of them were finally afraid of Qin Feng .

“Re… Retreat!!!”

“Too late . ”

There was no way Qin Feng would let them go .

He was going to feed them all to the Cinder Pine . This would save him a lot of time and effort!

And thus, he kept going on with his massacre!

Chapter 642: Chapter 642 – Man-eating Tree

Chapter 642: Man-eating Tree

With Bai Li around to support him, there was no way these people could run away . As such, they were all killed and fed to the Cinder Pine .

The hovercraft of the Fengli Organization had arrived after all that happened . They did not dare to use long-range support fire because they feared that they would disrupt Qin Feng . Qin Feng did not want them to come too—if things went south, the B-tiers could hijack the hovercraft and then they would have a hostage situation .

“Don’t be scared . We’re here to help!”

“Thank goodness… we’re saved!”

“Follow us . ”

“Argh…!!! Don’t… Don’t hurt me…!! Huh? What… Um, well… We’re from Cinderclast City!”

“Yes, ma’am . Yes . We’re from the Fengli Organization . Come with us . There’s no need to worry now . ”

After a few rounds of confusion, the people on the other hovercrafts were now rescued and brought onto their hovercraft .

Meanwhile, reinforcement from the Human Alliance too had arrived .

They were late—even later than the hovercraft . As such, they did not get to do any fighting . Still, even if they wanted to help Qin Feng to fight, they would not be able to do much anyway—Qin Feng was able to wipe out the whole group in minutes .

These people had other things in their minds right now—the Cinderclast Golems under the Cinder Pine .

Qin Feng, on the other hand, took Bai Li’s hand and retreated .

Even though he knew that feeding B-tiers to the tree would provide it with a great amount of nutrition, he did not think that it would grow so fast . Now, the thing was about five hundred meters tall!

Right now, the B-tiers that had newly arrived felt a tremendous presence from the Cinder Pine . It was so powerful that it was so difficult to breathe near it .

“Qin Feng, are you alright?” He Liming and the others walked toward Qin Feng .

They opted to care for Qin Feng instead of hunting the Cinderclast Golems right away for financial gains .

They also saw the weapon in Qin Feng’s hand . They saw that it could destroy B-tiers’ weapons and armor . As such, this thing must be quite powerful and valuable .

This thing… it could be a God Weapon .

“I’m fine . We need to retreat a bit further . ” Qin Feng said .

“What’s wrong?”

“I have a bad feeling about the tree . Trust me . ”

Three of them came early so that they could grab some hunts while they could . Now that they had hunted enough, there was no need to rush forward to hunt more . Besides, they understood what he meant by “bad feeling”—they too had felt a certain heavy, creeping presence from the Cinder Pine . As such, they backed away with Qin Feng .

As soon as they left the area, they could feel that the ground was shaking before lava started to burst wildly in the lava pool earlier .

Splash!!!!!!

A crimson red root burst out of the lava pool and flipped the soil around fiercely . This went on further and further, and before they knew it… Two-kilometer-wide of soil was completely flipped by the root, pulling the other greedy B-tiers in it .

“Ahhh! What’s going on??”

An ancient warrior cried out in confusion .

The ground continued to shake wildly as tree roots burst out of the soil . He wanted to jump away from it but several roots burst out from behind and grabbed him .

Booom!!

The ancient warrior unleashed his internal energy, intending to break away from them . The burst of his energy was so loud that even Qin Feng could hear it from afar .

He kept bursting forth his internal energy . Again and again .

“It’s Liu Ji!”

Fu Wenjue apparently knew who that was and wanted to head out to save him . However, before he was able to leap out, Qin Feng pulled his arm .

“Don’t . You won’t make it in time . ”

He looked at where Liu Ji was again . The poor ancient warrior was now completely bound by the roots and being pulled toward the tree trunk . As he was pulled closer, a huge mouth opened up on the tree trunk!

“Gulp!”

Liu Ji was thrown straight into the tree’s mouth before it closed up completely . A minute later, the Cinder Pine did not grow taller, instead, its roots kept appearing more and more in the area, extending further and further .

This was so horrifying!

And it was not just Liu Ji . There were also other aptitude users that were trapped too . They thought that they could prey on some golems by arriving early . Instead, now they had become the prey .

“Qin Feng, should we ask for help from the A-tiers? This tree… this thing! It’s so horrifying!”

Qin Feng shook his head and switched on his communicator . “When will the Floating City arrive?”

“We’re en route, sir . We should be there in half an hour . ”

“Good!”

Half an hour? Qin Feng could hold on for half an hour .

There was no change in his plans .

“Look! It’s moving!”

“Could it be that this tree is… an animal?”

Fu Wenjue and the others panicked when they saw it moving .

“Damn it!”

Qin Feng’s face turned grim .

The B-tiers that were running away were fleeing toward Cinderclast City . If they kept on going that way, Cinder Pine would reach Cinderclast City in under five minutes!

After all, the tree was very near the city . And it had grown humongous in size… and it was fast too .

“Don’t run in that direction! If you want to leave, turn to other directions!”

Qin Feng yelled out loudly .

Yet, the Cinder Pine was too huge . Even if they wanted to, they could not outrun the tree roots . Also, these people did not care to listen to Qin Feng too .

“Bai Li, do it!” Qin Feng ordered .

In an instant, Bai Li vanished into thin air . Yang Bei and the others felt a chill down their spines when they saw this . They could feel that Qin Feng was not exactly in a good mood .

“Governor Qin, please stay calm . There’s no need to kill one of our own!”

Qin Feng coldly replied, “I’m just helping them to flee . Not kill them . ”

Well, that was the plan . There was no guarantee if these people would oblige though—these people might have some other insidious plan in mind .

If they were to run into Cinderclast City, the city walls could indeed stop the roots for a short moment . Then, these B-tiers could run away—leaving an entire city as distraction for the demonic tree .

Meanwhile, Bai Li’s dimensional rune was activated around these people . In a wink of an eye, they were all sent to five thousand meters away and not anywhere near Cinderclast City .

However, this was enough for them to be free of the Cinder Pine’s wrath . After seeing that they were safe, they retreated without hesitation .

Without its prey, the tree had stopped its movement . Its trunk and branches were shaking slowly in place, seemingly wondering where it should go next .

At the same time, Qin Feng had already put away his Verdant Emperor Saber and taken out a hand cannon .

“You all can leave now . I’ll distract the Cinder Pine . ”

“No, Qin Feng! This is too dangerous!”

The three men’s faces turned grim after hearing this .

They knew just how powerful this prodigy was . However, the Cinder Pine was too dangerous and enigmatic . They could not imagine just what kind of danger lay ahead .

And if Qin Feng died here, it would be a huge loss to the Human Alliance .

Qin Feng was like any of them . To them, this young man could very well reach A-tier at any moment . In fact, he had a good chance of ascending to S-tier!

Yet, Qin Feng did not give them time to think . He loaded his cannon and fired .

Whooosh!

An ice cannon ball darted thousands of meters away, accompanied by a strand of white smoke, before landing on the Cinder Pine’s roots .

The Cinder Pine started to shake wildly as steam fumed off its roots . The tree now had made Qin Feng its new target .

Creak! Creaak!!

The Cinder Pine started to move again . This time it went straight toward Qin Feng .

Seeing hundreds and thousands of roots moving this way, even Fu Wenjue felt a chill creep down his spine .

Qin Feng fired another round of ice cannon ball at the Cinder Pine .

This would not hurt it one bit but it was enough to get its attention .

Thus, everyone kept looking at Qin Feng fire round after round of ice cannon balls at it, luring the tree away from civilization with great speed . They were so fast that even the drones could not keep up with them anymore!

In the skyscrapers, all the aptitude users had become quiet .

“He’s… a good governor . ”

An E-tier opened his mouth . He came from one of the small colonies that were fused to become Cinderclast City today . After seeing what Qin Feng did for everyone, his eyes became teary red .
