Master of the End Times

Qin Feng did not hide indoors the next day.

He went out as usual because it was the opening of the Battlegod Tomb.

Qin Feng was not going to miss such an important date, though he knew the short trip there would not be a peaceful one. Qin Feng would show no mercy to anyone who dares to block his path and did not mind killing dozens of assassins as warm-up.

After having breakfast, Qin Feng descended to the lobby with Xiao Bai in his arms. They were ready to check out of the hotel.

A person walked toward him as soon as he exited the lift.

The man wore a tailor-made battle suit. A sigil displaying E5 was hanging handsomely on his chest.

He was obviously not an assassin judging by his upright posture.

His battle suit clearly indicated that he was a uniformed personnel. Qin Feng immediately recognized the uniform as the one worn by the patrol unit of Niumeng City.

“Nice to meet you, Bloodhunter.” The man offered a handshake and introduced himself. “My name is Liu Lei, the commander of the Niumeng patrol troop’s fifth battalion.”

Qin Feng raised his eyebrow.

“My purpose here today is to escort you out and ensure your safety. As you might have heard, the Xue family has put a price on your head last night. A lot of killers have infiltrated the city since then. For your safety and the city’s security, please forgive us for the inconvenience caused.”

Qin Feng glared at him and said, “Since you have asked for my forgiveness, I suppose you understand how inappropriate your request is.”

Liu Lei dared not offend Qin Feng. This was a man who could even defeat a D-tier ancient warrior.

A lot of people were busy guessing Bloodhunter’s true identity now. But no matter what, he was definitely out of Liu Lei’s league.

“Mr. Bloodhunter, I know this would restrict your personal freedom but we are doing it to protect you!”

“Do I look like I need your protection?” Qin Feng snorted.

Liu Lei expected the response and answered hurriedly, “At least we can stop people from harassing you. Please be cooperative with us until you leave Niumeng city.”

Qin Feng fetched his Silver Bolt with a gesture and said, “I don’t need your protection. I am leaving Niumeng now.”

Liu Lei was surprised that Qin Feng had chosen to leave so soon. Regardless, it was the best-case scenario for them that Qin Feng would willingly bring his trouble out of Niumeng City.

“Please allow us to send you off.”

“Whatever.” Qin Feng started his car and drove out of the hotel. More than ten patrol cars convoyed around his Silver Bolt to keep Qin Feng “safe”.

Those who watched in silence were irked by what they saw.

“What’s going on? Why is the patrol troop escorting him?”

“What is Liu Lei plotting? Is he here to interfere?”

“Ask for intel, quick.”

These assassins had their eyes and ears everywhere. It was no surprise that one or two of their informants were among the forty personnels escorting Qin Feng.

They soon learned that Qin Feng was exiting the city and Liu Lei was just seeing him off.

“Let’s do this outside of Niumeng.”

“What a daring guy. I would not have opted to leave town at such a timing.”

“Hmph, what an arrogant piece of sh*t. I am going to claim the reward this time.”

The assassins moved out as quickly as they could after confirming Qin Feng’s intentions.

They could plan an ambush ahead since Qin Feng was moving relatively slow on wheels at the moment.

Qin Feng could not care less. He would not back down from anyone trying to take his life. It was their choice to become his enemies, not his. Hence, he would not go easy on them.

The convoy cruised steadily out of Niumeng City. The car in the front flashed a double signal and stopped at the side.

Liu Lei alighted and walked toward Qin Feng.

“Mr. Qin, we will part ways here.”

Qin Feng scoffed and did not even bother to roll down the window. He changed his car into hover mode and drove off at full speed.

“Sigh.” Liu Lei realized they were at fault this time. But the higher ups from Niumeng were left with no choice since Bloodhunter had aggravated none other than a renowned ancient warrior family.

Qin Feng’s car quickly went out of sight and out of the protection of Niumeng City.

His Silver Bolt had traveled a considerable distance after five minutes. It was indeed a speedy hovercraft.

Suddenly, Qin Feng realized that he was being targeted by two conscious energies.

Pew! Pew!

Two yellowish missiles were chasing after the craft.

“Hmph!” Qin Feng sneered and stored the Silver Bolt back into his spatial equipment. He then stood imposingly in the middle of the highway.

The two missiles were incoming fast.

Of course, Qin Feng would not risk exposing himself by reflecting the missiles using his conscious energy.

The reflexes and defensive prowess of an ancient warrior were more than enough for him to deal with the two missiles. Qin Feng expanded his internal force to form a protective field that covered his entire body.

This was a defensive skill usually mastered only by D-tier aptitude users. Qin Feng could execute it easily owing to his enormous internal strength.

Not only that but Qin Feng dexterously dodged the missiles the moment they almost hit him. The assaulters did not have enough time to change the course of the missiles as Qin Feng was too fast.

Boom! Boom!

The two missiles hit the ground.

The explosions splashed the rocks and sand off the road, which hit Qin Feng’s internal force shield. The shield was slightly rippled but its energy was hardly exhausted. The attack did not even smudge Qin Feng’s suit.

“Stop making fun of yourself using such a laughable trick.” Qin Feng infused his tone with internal force and delivered his mockery far and wide.

That failed to draw out the ambushers.

They were still observing closely while contemplating their next step. Everyone wanted to be the third dog*.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, would not wait passively and charged right at them.

It was just like having a stroll in the park for him but his pace was rather fast.

The ambushers panicked when they saw Qin Feng making the first move.

Apparently, they did not expect the missiles to do Qin Feng any harm. It was simply to stop Qin Feng from getting away with his hovercraft.

That had been achieved but it seemed that they had little idea on what to do next. A dogfight was imminent.

Finally, the first person got sick of hiding and stepped out. Many would soon follow. To be honest, it was not difficult to guess their thoughts.

If those who came out first were to successfully assassinate Qin Feng and run away with his body, then those who emerge later would have gained nothing.

They must get a piece of Qin Feng no matter what. The allure of the three billion reward was hard to resist.

That was almost the worth of an E-tier beast king like Drakocrocs. Its skin could be used to forge many equipment and wear.

In other words, three billion was equivalent to a full set of king-tier items.

Nonetheless, not everyone could earn money as easily and as fast as Qin Feng. On average, an E-tier aptitude user could only pocket one hundred to two hundred million each time they carried out a deadly mission.

Hence, to them, Qin Feng was no longer a person but a walking bag of gold.

“Kill!”

“Die!”

“Everyone, attack!”

These people came out from their hiding and jumped at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smirked.

‘Can’t wait for your turn to die, eh?’

There was a total of thirty of them.

Qin Feng showed no fear despite being heavily outnumbered.
