Master of the End Times

The Sky Burning Sword Art was categorized as an A-tier martial arts. The greater the inner force was, the stronger the sword art would manifest.

It was said that this art might even surpass S-tier if used by a combatant with powerful inner strength.

Though Qin Feng had mastered the sword art, his lack of inner strength meant that he could only manage one percent of its full potential.

Despite that, the destructive force exerted by the third skill, Blazing Sky, was still rather astonishing.

Schawff!!

Two figures promptly reappeared. They were none other than Qin Feng and Bai Li.

At the far side, the almighty broodmother struggled a few steps forward and suddenly felt abnormally light. That was because half of its body had just been cut off by Qin Feng’s attack.

It did not die on the spot since insectoids were a species with powerful living force.

Qin Feng’s face looked pale and he could feel nothing left in his dantian. His forty clouds of inner force equivalent to that of F9-tier had been completely exhausted. Such was the price to pay in using a skill as devastating as Blazing Sky.

Fortunately, he could still rely on his conscious energy.

‘Dark Ray!’

The laser fell on the broodmother’s head and snatched away its final trace of vitality.

Thud!

The broodmother was dead!

The next moment, Qin Feng’s core ability took over subconsciously. Unseen energy was being drawn in continuously from the fallen broodmother.

The steel-limb broodmother’s greatest strength lay in its ability to reproduce. In other words, its power represented the source of life. Qin Feng could feel that his blood was beginning to circulate faster and his healing had been accelerated to a point beyond his imagination.

The wound that Qin Feng had been afflicted with in this fight was healing rapidly. Besides, though he still could not sense his inner force, he did not feel lethargic at all after the long battle.

“Not half bad!” Qin Feng gripped his fists and had a grasp that his body strength had just evolved into the F5-tier.

This was when he heard the heavy rustling noise in the dark that came from all directions.

insectoids would not interfere when their king was battling. The giant beast king would simply obliterate anything found on its path unselectively.

It was also a means of the beast king portraying its supremacy. No creature was allowed to share the beast king’s prey.

The king’s influence had vanished with the death of the broodmother. What was once the tip of the food chain had now become food itself. To other insectoids, the body of the broodmother was a rich source of nutrients.

“F*ck off!” The gem of darkness in Qin Feng exploded and formed a band of dark mist. The mist absorbed all light and covered Qin Feng, Bai Li, and the broodmother in complete darkness.

The mysterious mist created a barrier that could not be seen through. Not only were the insectoids unable to escape but aptitude users that had been paying attention also could not perceive what was happening inside.

“Xiao Bai, quick! Harvest the loot, spider claw, and crystal core!”

Qin Feng was not doing this for charity. Naturally, he was going after the sumptuous rewards of killing a beast king.

He had to summon the mist so that others would not learn about Bai Li’s ability. Even though the beast materials were quite huge in size, people would only think that he had brought a spatial rune of extra-large space with him and suspect nothing.

Bai Li acted swiftly. She made good use of her Space Blade and harvested all the eight limbs of the broodmother. Three of them had only half left, which the other halves retrieved by Bai Li into her personal rift earlier during the fight.

She then raised her hand and created a space portal. Not long after, a crystal core of the size of a basketball appeared on her palm. It was the energy core that belonged to the broodmother.

Qin Feng, meanwhile, rounded to the back of the broodmother and used his saber to cut open the beast’s burned flesh.

Blood of dark green color spilled out from the opening. Qin Feng continued to dissect the body and found its string gland in no time.

The gland was even larger than the core. It measured at three meters long and one meter wide.

“Catch this!” Qin Feng threw it to Bai Li for it to be kept together with other loots.

Then, Qin Feng once again unleashed Hellfire. The giant body of the spider swiftly caught fire. It became brittle without the core to support it. The remnants of the horrific beast were incinerated and turned into a pile of ash.

Coincidentally, the sun had risen at the same time and brought light to the ravaged land.

The darkness was displaced by the sunlight and Qin Feng came out from the dark mist together with Bai Li riding on the umbra stallion.

‘Disperse!’ The dark runes vanished altogether with the huge beast corpse.

The remaining insectoids rushed over to where the broodmother was supposed to be but they found nothing other than ashes on the floor there. Their feed had just disappeared mysteriously.

Some insectoids did notice Qin Feng and Bai Li but the umbra stallion stepped right through them and broke free like a weightless spirit.

Qin Feng had escaped the battle zone in the blink of an eye and turned into a street.

The insectoids were relentless and numerous worms swarmed the entire street behind them.

Buzz!!

Bloodthirsty beetles that could fly caught up to Qin Feng first.

Slash!

Qin Feng simply waved his saber to kill two of the pursuers. The lowly insectoids would be no match to the Verdant Emperor Saber.

Yet, they seemed determined to drown Qin Feng by their numbers.

‘Go to hell!’ Qin Feng was furious and triggered his consciousness.

“Hellfire!”

All of a sudden, the fire runes went wild and scorched the entire long street behind Qin Feng.

Boom!

The fuel tank of a few cars caught fire and exploded sequentially.

Several thousands of insectoids were instantly killed by the blast. Not a sign of life other than Qin Feng and Bai Li could be detected on the street after the explosion.

“Time to go!” Qin Feng pushed the stallion to gallop speedily forward. The insectoids at the rear were unable to chase after them as Hellfire was still burning bright.

Though the entire Han Town was roamed by the insectoids, Qin Feng could not care less and used the main road under broad daylight. They soon arrived in front of a tall building.

This was the place where the broodmother had set up its giant web.

“Argh!!!”

“Kill me. End my misery now!”

“It’s so painful. Save me!”

Qin Feng could hear the shrieking and groaning coming from inside unceasingly.

The people trapped by the web were not dead yet.

The steel-limb broodmother would not kill them right away. It was using them as vessels and had injected its egg into the human bodies. The eggs would feed on the blood and flesh and slowly turn into small spiders. Those baby spiders would then consume the human from inside out. That was when the captured victims would finally meet their ends. But before that, they would first experience insufferable torture.

“Hellfire!”

The flame spread along the strings and burned the entire place down steadily. These strings were still weak against fire even though it was produced by a beast king. Moreover, Qin Feng’s Hellfire was more destructive than a normal flame.

The spider web finally crumbled and the hostages on it were being charred alive.

Qin Feng witnessed the entire process from outside. He was not shaken despite the diabolical scene.

He had gone through similar episodes in his previous life. In fact, way too much and way worse. Qin Feng no longer held unnecessary sympathy toward such tragedy. There was no better way to alleviate the sufferers from this living hell, he believed.
