“The successor of the Sky Sword God? The strongest swordsman in a hundred years?!” The Dao cultivators couldn’t contain their mocking. They felt that the evaluations of Lin San were far too exaggerated.
If it weren’t for the backing of the Heaven Heart City, they could guarantee that they could beat him senseless.
“Everyone, if you want to obtain the treasures, we must unite and break through this barrier together!”
Someone suggested a temporary alliance, emphasising the need to break the barrier before fighting over the coveted jade box inside.
“Agreed!”
“Agreed!”
“.........”
The remaining Dao cultivators nodded in agreement. They knew that if they didn’t work together now, once the stronger cultivators arrived, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.
“Let’s do it!”
Someone was the first to act, performing a ritual gesture that unleashed a wild energy from their body.
With someone taking the lead, the others followed suit.
In an instant, countless beams of energy rained down from the heavens, resembling celestial comets streaking across the sky. The intensity of their descent caused the air to tremble as their energies began to ripple.
Rumble!
The crowd attacked the barrier unanimously, causing a loud sound of collision to reverberate in the surroundings.
However, contrary to what everyone had imagined, the barrier had absorbed the countless amounts of energy that had struck its walls rather than shattering. Instead, it resulted in a colourful picture to appear on the barrier.
“No!”
Their eyes bulged out in fear as they sensed the energy within the barrier grew rapidly.
Without a moment of hesitation, each and every one of them quickly poised themselves in a defensive stance.
Rumble!
Another terrifying sound reverberated throughout the heavens and the earth as the energy that was gathered in the barrier was released, accompanied by a tornado of energy that swept up the entire remnant.
It left nothing but wreckage and chaos wherever it went.
Especially for those who had been spectating this entire situation on the front lines, the ones with higher cultivation were only able to barely hold on to their lives. However, the weaker cultivators were unable to withstand the overwhelming force that swept the area and almost died instantly.
“That scared me to death!”
Zi Yuan’s heart thumped wildly as she grabbed onto Qin Feng’s hand, unwilling to let go. It was only thanks to Qin Feng’s swift actions in pulling her back that she had managed to resist the onslaught of such a violent force with her small body.
“I knew he didn’t have any good intentions!”
Qin Feng couldn't stop his head from turning towards Lin San, immediately catching the sight of the complacent, upturned corners of his lips.
“Damn it, damn it……”
The dozens of Dao cultivators in the air cursed out loud. They hadn’t expected the barrier to be capable of retaliation. In order to forcefully break this barrier, they had to have an attack power that surpassed the barrier’s threshold.
And it was obvious that they were incapable of doing so!
Just at this moment—
A savage-looking crack appeared around the barrier, slowly expanding like a spider’s web spreading across the air.
It was clearly a test that was left behind by the barrier’s creator. If no one was capable of opening the barrier and instead resorted to brute force, it would trigger the remnants to self-destruct.
The treasures held within were only meant for geniuses, and they shall never fall into the hands of a mediocre!
“No! The remnant is collapsing!”
Expressions of horror were shown on the faces of everyone present as they started running in a desperate attempt to escape.
“Damn it!!”
The dozens of Dao cultivators were seething with anger. It felt as though they were covered with blood despite failing to catch the sheep.
But alas, everything was far too late now. Their only option was to quickly escape from this place to preserve their lives.
“Why are you just standing here? We need to get out of here immediately!”
Zi Yuan pulled at Qin Feng’s hand, urging him to leave. However, he seemed to have no intention of leaving as his eyes remained fixed upon Lin San, sparkling with anticipation.
“Qin Feng!”
Lin San was extremely surprised at the fact that Qin Feng was there. He couldn’t help but suspect that he was the sneaky bastard that was purposefully causing trouble for him.
It was a pity that he didn’t have any time to confirm his suspicions. He needed to quickly open the barrier and seize the jade box.
With a deft motion, Lin San performed a ritual gesture and pressed at the corner of the barrier.
Rumble!
Almost instantaneously, the barrier shattered and released a beam of light that shot into the skies. It was then accompanied by a divine aura that enveloped the entire remnant.
“The barrier has opened!”
The Dao cultivators, who had just been preparing to leave, abruptly turned their heads and charged toward the jade box placed on top of the stone platform.
Yet, their efforts were futile as they were clearly too far away from the stone platform. They could only watch as the corners of Lin San’s mouth raised as he grabbed the jade box. He then took out a yellow talisman that was fully covered with intricate runes.
“A spatial teleportation talisman!”
The dozen of Dao cultivators exclaimed as they each launched their strongest attacks in hopes of stopping him.
It was a pity that they were all too far away. Lin San had already activated the spatial teleportation talisman, and runes orbited his body as he waved at them gleefully in goodbye.
“Now!”
Qin Feng’s eyes were locked onto the jade box as he grabbed the air, activating his telekinesis.
However, he wasn’t aiming for the jade box in Lin San’s hands. Instead, he focused on the treasures within the box. Without even caring what it was, he swiftly gathered them and threw them into his spatial storage.
“Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for successfully completing the Villain Quest! You have obtained the golden treasure chest*1.”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for breaking the serendipity of the Chosen One! You have obtained one raffle ticket!”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for snatching the treasure of the Chosen One! You have obtained 1,000,000 villain points!”
“1,000,000 villain points!!”
Qin Feng couldn’t stop his heart from trembling due to excitement. He couldn’t even imagine how overpowered this treasure would be. Just based on the number of villain points he had acquired as a reward, this treasure would be worth billions at least in the system shop.
Rumble!
The Dao cultivators had finally arrived, their shouts of pursuit falling on deaf ears as Lin San had already escaped with the aid of the spatial transportation talisman.
“He won’t be able to run too far with the spatial teleportation talisman! Chase him!”
The dozen of Dao cultivators cursed out loud in anger, frustrated that they hadn't expected themselves to be outplayed by a little brat.
“We should leave now too!”
Qin Feng didn’t falter for even a second after obtaining the treasure, pulling Zi Yuan’s hand as he sprinted away. The surroundings were collapsing with each passing second, replaced by a void of darkness. Falling meant certain death under the powers of space.
“Save me!”
Terrified shrieks came from every corner of the remnant as countless people died before they could escape.
“He was right again. This place is the land of great evils.”
Zi Yuan swallowed hard, gripped by fear. She was witnessing far too many trials of human nature during their desperate sprint.
There were people that stepped on their companions in an effort to preserve their own lives, while there were people that wanted to drag their own friends down to die together. There were even husbands and wives that abandoned their other half to secure their own escape……
Rumble!
Just as Qin Feng and Zi Yuan were about to arrive at the exit, the ground beneath them collapsed, forcing the two to fall alongside as they lost their balance.
“Ah……”
Zi Yuan shrieked as she sought refuge in Qin Feng’s embrace, too afraid to even open her eyes.
“Fuck!!”
Qin Feng couldn’t help but curse. His Phantom Escape was being pushed to its limits as he stepped on the falling rocks, trying his best to climb back up.
However, it was a pity that his surroundings were all collapsing rapidly, leaving him with nowhere to run.
“It’ll be too much of a shame to not use this opportunity as a scenario to charm a woman.”
With a mischievous smile on his face, Qin Feng tossed Zi Yuan, who was in his arms, toward the exit just as he fell further. He was ready to use the Max-Levelled Red-Haired Old Monster Experience Coupon at any moment.
“Qin Feng……”
A heart-wrenching scream came from Zi Yuan’s mouth as she tried to grab onto the falling Qin Feng, but she could only watch helplessly as the distance between them widened. At that moment, a different kind of emotion grew in her heart for the little brat.
Whoosh!
A white figure suddenly dashed into the remnant, running swiftly towards the falling Qin Feng……
