Chapter 114 - Sword Art—Blazing Sky
Qin Feng completely vanished from sight in an instance. Not even the scope could locate his position.
Qin Feng was not only watched by Wang Chen and co. but other aptitude users that had survived the attacks were startled by the battle noise and had come out from hiding to check on the situation.
Nobody would have thought that someone was daring enough to challenge the broodmother. He even chose the time when the beast might be at its strongest.
The audiences were treated with a wonderful execution staged by the mythical gunner from a thousand miles away.
“That’s a shame. Gunners are weak in close combat. He is going to die after being caught up by the broodmother.”
“Why waste such effort? That would only disturb and further enrage the entire insectoid troop.”
The survivors began to hear rustling noises around them. The attacker had not only provoked the broodmother but at the same time had also attracted the entire fleet of insectoids toward him.
But neither the creatures nor the survivors knew that Qin Feng could come and go as he pleased in the dark. He was invisible in total darkness with the help of the dark gem. This environment maximized his dark ability to its fullest potential and not even the beast king could detect his presence.
He was the true master of the shadows. The darkness was his reign.
The umbra stallion appeared silently.
“Dark Laser!”
A band of ray darker than the night sky suddenly pierced through the broodmother’s body out of nowhere.
The dark rune energy erupted and cells that were still vibrant a moment ago started to contract and lose their vitality. Its power and speed had been greatly compromised.
It went exactly the way Qin Feng intended it to. But naturally, the broodmother was not to be simply trifled with. It discovered Qin Feng’s location the moment he used the ability.
Poof!
Read more chapter on vipnovel.comA giant white web was shot out and shrouded Qin Feng from all corners. He retreated at once.
In the end, the web missed Qin Feng and landed on one of the buildings and was stuck there. Not only that but some of its strings hit the windows due to inertia and smashed them into pieces. What a brutal attack! One could only imagine the outcome if Qin Feng were to be hit by the strings.
The steel-limb broodmother twisted its legs and turned around. Its daunting eyes scanned the night painstakingly. Then, one of its legs slid up abruptly.
Clang!
Qin Feng was exposed after the impact. The Verdant Emperor Saber shone brilliantly in the dark like a star in the night sky.
The sharp saber crippled one of the spider’s legs but Qin Feng was sent flying backward as well.
‘umbra stallion!’
Qin Feng stopped short as his momentum was halted by the stallion’s pull. Even so, he had flown straight into one of the tall buildings and blasted all its windows apart.
Poof.
Another thin string came flying and Qin Feng dodged dexterously. The string bypassed him and was attached to the wall of the building.
‘Shit!’
Qin Feng’s expression changed.
“Space Blade!” Bai Li who had not shown herself thus far finally made her first move. The blade cut the string and consequently, the giant spider coming through it fell instantly to the ground.
But the broodmother was persistent. Another string was squirted and glued to the building Qin Feng was at. It was in hot pursuit once again.
The building was seven floors high. This place was obviously one of the high-class residences in Han Town. Nonetheless, no matter how well-built this place once was, it could not sustain under the broodmother’s rampage.
The beast raised one of its limbs vertically and launched a quick down-swipe with it. One of the building corners was effortlessly sliced off.
Qin Feng rode the umbra stallion and dashed out from the building. The sliced building came crashing down to the ground and raised a cloud of dust.
‘Blooming Flame!’ Qin Feng grasped the short window of opportunity and slid his saber across one of the spider’s limbs. Fire emerged where the blade passed and another steel limb of the broodmother was removed.
“Roar!”
The broodmother was enraged. Its other limbs swung rapidly toward Qin Feng, trying to tear him apart.
Qin Feng could not be caught while he was on the stallion.
Boom!
Another building had fallen victim to the spider’s assault.
‘Bushfire!’ Qin Feng once again triggered his ability.
Fire sparks appeared in the shape of a fan on the Verdant Emperor Saber. Triggered by his inner force, the runes exploded outward and spread out a few ten meters wide.
Even inner force as dense as Qin Feng’s evaporated rapidly at this instance.
Immediately, the flame engulfed the steel-limb broodmother.
Boom!
Boom!
The broodmother hopped up and down terrifyingly. The burning flame on its body had greatly frightened the beast. It got more and more violent, and soon the entire area was demolished by the beast and had turned into an unrecognizable ruin.
The giant swerved about wildly and finally put out the fire. The beast charged toward Qin Feng once it recollected itself.
Qin Feng dared not brace the charge and could only escape with the stallion.
It was indeed a terrifying battle. The loud noise trembled the entire Han Town. Qin Feng was gasping for air as his battle against the steel-limb broodmother was reaching its climax.
‘What a tough opponent!’ Qin Feng guessed that it was due to the giant size of the broodmother.
The Dark-Robed Ripper was equally powerful but had a much smaller body size. Besides, Qin Feng was immune to dark runes. Those played into his hand and greatly reduced the difficulty of that battle.
It was an entirely different situation this time around.
He needed little energy to avoid the Ripper’s attacks but against the giant broodmother? Every evasion took great effort and concentration.
Qin Feng would have been run over numerous times if not for the stallion’s agility. However, the broodmother got a fair share of damage as Qin Feng managed to take away three of its limbs.
‘Its weakness is going to present itself soon. Dark Shadow!’
Qin Feng once again blended into the darkness.
He had battled for almost two hours now. Dawn was almost upon them as Qin Feng could see the first light on the horizon. The sky might be brightened up in another ten minutes or so.
That was highly unfavorable to Qin Feng if the battle were to drag on to that point. He decided to take the risk and finish off the fight quickly.
“Xiao Bai!” Qin Feng summoned Bai Li to stand by his side.
“I want to teleport there later, is it possible?” Qin Feng pointed at the abdomen of the broodmother.
“No problem!” Xiao Bai nodded.
Actually, Bai Li could have defeated the broodmother easily if she were to turn into her fox form now. But Qin Feng thought that it was still too early for Bai Li to reveal her true power. He was even reluctant to use the Space Blade unless it was a real emergency.
This exact moment was such an emergency.
The broodmother was still crawling and had finally arrived above a pit.
“Go now!” Qin Feng ordered urgently.
Bai Li grabbed Qin Feng and vanished instantly.
Schawff!
Their vision changed instantly and Qin Feng could see the lower abdomen of the steel-limb broodmother as he looked up.
Numerous one-meter-thick reverse spurs were growing on the outer skin of the abdomen. It dragged out marks on the ground as the spider crawled by.
If Qin Feng did not teleport into the pit but directly under its belly, the spurs would have pierced through both him and Bai Li alive.
‘Sky Burning Sword Art—Blazing Sky!’
Qin Feng drew up his saber and temporarily boosted his aura. The blaze rapidly gathered around the Verdant Emperor Saber and shot straight upward.
The fire runes vibrated rapidly and the resulting Hellfire erupted upward like a lava fountain.
The blaze penetrated the steel-limb broodmother’s abdomen instantly. Then, the skyward blaze slanted and broke through the broodmother thorax as well. Qin Feng had practically opened up a giant hole through the beast’s body.
The fire continued to rush higher and bridged with the sky. Instantaneously, the entire Han Town was lit red by the mighty flame.
