Chapter 718 - An Impossible Kill

Still, Sal Bar was an A-tier. He was quite experienced in combat. As such, it did not take long before he realized that he was under the influence of a dark ability.

Thus, he quickly called upon his metal runes and spread them around his body, forcing the dark runes away.

However, when he finally broke free of the dark runes… it was already too late!

A terrifying blade had already reached him! There was no way for him to evade it!

“Metallize!”

All he could do now was to endure this hit! Usually, it was possible for him to survive this because he had a rather beefy body and sturdy metal runes. Even the weapons that were made from beast emperor materials could not harm him!

Still… Qin Feng’s blade was no ordinary blade—it was a God Weapon.

And at the very last moment, Sal Bar realized that the blade was not aiming at his body. It was instead slashing straight at his arm.

Slash!

The Verdant Emperor Saber cut the arm down like slicing a bar of butter.

The slash was so fast that Sal Bar did not even feel pain at all when his arm was cut off. And then, he saw the wound. The bones at his elbow… they were all completely crushed!

“Grand-ripple Metal!”

Sal Bar instantly knew what was going on! This kid even had equipment that was imbued with this treasure?! Right now, Sal Bar did not feel any greed or envy toward the young man. All he was feeling right now was fear.

“Argghhhhh!!”

The feeling of pain finally reached Sal Bar’s brain after a few seconds. After crying out in pain, Sal Bar clenched his teeth and took a few steps back before controlling his metal runes to metallize his broken arm, stopping it from bleeding.

It was then, Sal Bar realized that all his spatial waymarks and spatial equipment were gone!

That slash… it was not an attack that was trying to kill him—it was aiming to destroy his means of escape.

And then, Sal Bar saw a burning saber and the young man who was wielding it right in front of him.

“How is it possible?! How did you get in?!”

“How? I came in when you were unleashing your ability, of course!”

“It’s impossible!”

“There’s no such thing as ‘impossible’.”

According to what Qin Feng knew from his previous life, if Sal Bar knew that he was going to lose a fight, he would definitely try to flee.

This was the real reason why he was so difficult to arrest or kill. He could shield himself with his impenetrable Steel Fortress and then use his spatial waymarks to flee. This was why Sal Bar was one of the hardest A-tiers to kill.

Thus, when Qin Feng saw that Sal Bar was using his Steel Fortress, Qin Feng used his dark runes to hide his whereabouts while keeping on with his attacks with Fire Wall.

That was how he got inside. Sal Bar’s line of sight was blocked by his own skill—Steel Fortress. Not locking on Qin Feng with his consciousness was also his mistake.

And when the Steel Fortress was formed completely, the dark surroundings within the “fortress” made it even easier for Qin Feng to conceal his appearance.

In other words, he had been hiding within Sal Bar’s own shadows this whole time!

After absorbing the Glutton Leviathan, Qin Feng’s powers had gotten a lot stronger. Right now, if he wanted to hide, no one could find him.

“Sal Bar, about this reinforcement request from the Amazon Alliance… I don’t know if you’re working with them but you better haunt them for it after you die.” Qin Feng smirked.

Sal Bar yelled out furiously, “Don’t think that you’ve won just because you have the upper hand earlier! Don’t forget that you’re inside my Steel Fortress! I can kill by just lifting a finger!”

Then, Sal Bar started to laugh. Like Qin Feng had stepped on a trap that he laid for him.

Suddenly, a huge axe dropped from above Qin Feng’s head. And it was just the first axe—there were countless more axes dropping from above.

Right now, both of them were stuck inside the Steel Fortress with no visible way out. This was indeed a death trap!

However, Qin Feng smirked. “Perhaps you should raise your head and have a look yourself?”

Sal Bar was stunned after hearing what Qin Feng had to say. Suddenly, he found it really difficult to breathe. He lifted his head and saw a huge dark cloud falling toward him.

It was not really a cloud—it was actually a massive dark flower. And the “cloud” was its petals.

When he raised his head, the petal was already inches away from his head. There was no way for him to evade it.

In an instant, Sal Bar’s beefy body began to shrink. A few seconds later, his muscles were gone and his skin started to sag away from his flesh. It was as if Sal Bar had aged rapidly by the second!

“What?! What is this?!”

Sal Bar cried out in shock. Yet, the petals kept on falling on him.

And then, Sal Bar had aged into a frail old man.

“Dark… Dark ability…!”

Sal Bar finally understood what was happening. He looked at Qin Feng and his dark flower.

This man was actually a dark ability user!

“…. you’re a freak…!!!”

Before Sal Bar could say anything further, he was buried in the dark petals. In a matter of seconds, he had turned into a skeleton and he crumbled.

Meanwhile, the metal axes that fell toward Qin Feng were blocked by his internal energy barrier. As Sal Bar died, these weapons, together with the Steel Fortress, too had turned into metallic dust that was blown away by the wind!

At the same time, the others who were watching outside were finally able to see the result of the fight.

“Ah! Qin Feng…” Xu Qing was surprised to see Qin Feng at first; but it did not take him long before realizing that it was all to be expected.

The others, on the other hand, were staring at the scene with their jaws rolling on the floor. They were puzzled at how Qin Feng was able to appear inside the Steel Fortress.

And where was Sal Bar?

And then, they saw Qin Feng raise his hand and drop several spatial equipment on the floor. Next to the equipment was a massive skeleton that was clad in a combat suit.

It was Sal Bar’s combat suit!

“He did it! He killed Sal Bar!”

“Whoah!”

“Holy sh*t! How did he do it?!”

“A B-tier just killed an A-tier…!”

They gawked at Qin Feng in disbelief. They could not believe their eyes!

Meanwhile, one of them was about to shed tears of panic… that person… was Neil Bol!
