Chapter 113: Battle the Beast King
The bright glare slowly toned down and revealed the shape of the weapon in it.
In the previous forge, only a short blade was made since the rat king’s fangs were the only materials used. This time, the Verdant Emperor Saber had obviously become deadlier with the infusion of new materials.
The saber measured at 70 cm in length now. The size of its hilt remained unchanged while the blade elongated by 15 cm to reach 60 cm. Its width and thickness had also grown to 3.8 cm and 0.9 cm respectively.
It no longer looked like an ordinary cross saber. Despite the spurt in size, it was still rather flexible and had great sharpness. The color of the blade had also deepened and appeared to be cyan now.
Perhaps due to the addition of the Star Steel, there was a faint glittering pattern at the tip of the blade that contrasted its base color, which made the blade more enchanting.
“Nice sword!” Qin Feng complimented and picked up the Verdant Emperor Saber.
“I have prepared a scabbard for you as well. Better keep it hidden in public to avoid unwanted attention,” Liu Zhenshan passed Qin Feng an ordinary-looking sheath. It was made from the skin of the rat king and Qin Feng figured he would make a better one when he obtained better materials in the future.
He agreed with what Liu Zhenshan had just said. There was no need to swank his weapon to everyone he met. The Verdant Emperor Saber now carried a faint gleam of gold radiance—a sign showed only when the weapon had surpassed the beast king’s material limit. It was all thanks to the celestial steel.
“You shall have your thirst quenched by the beast’s blood tonight,” Qin Feng glanced at the saber and said smilingly.
He sheathed the saber and walked out from the forge. Wang Chen and others had yet to fall asleep at this hour. Someone had to be awake and guard the night but in fact, an idea was lingering in their minds.
That was because Qin Feng had claimed that he was going to challenge the beast king.
Without waking Liu Xue and others in the next room, Qin Feng and Bai Li crossed the sandbag wall and submerged into the darkness.
He Ling and co. watched as they departed.
“Do you think they would succeed?”
“It’s hard to say…”
“Why do I suddenly feel that he might actually make it…”
None of them uttered another word after that. They dared not make too much noise as their sounds might travel far in this quiet night. What if the insectoids were to hear them?
They were unable to take a look at the condition outside from the backyard they were at now. They were eager to find out what the situation of the town was at now and what was going to happen soon.
“Let’s go higher up and take a look,” He Ling promptly suggested.
Zhao Xiang contemplated and nodded. “Let’s go to the top floor. We can use any of the rooms. It should be fine.”
“Let’s go!” Wang Chen could not hold back his curiosity too, and joined them.
They climbed to the fourth floor and found a decent spot. They then proceeded to set up their scope and scanned around the town through it.
On a distant building, Qin Feng was mounting a dark warhorse with the Verdant Emperor Saber on his waist.
The warhorse once belonged to the Emperor Knight. The horse could be steered by simply infusing dark energy into it. It could run at a speed faster than the hovercar. Most importantly, it could jump and sprint on all types of terrains.
Qin Feng was staring at the steel-limb broodmother further away.
Bai Li was behind Qin Feng with one leg on the saddle. She was not really stepping on it but was instead floating in mid-air.
‘Such a giant beast. If only we could kill it from afar.’
Qin Feng sighed. A small-sized beast might not be weak but the rule of thumb was that the bigger the beast, the more powerful it was.
Even getting hit by one of its legs would be devastating. Not only that, Qin Feng would be easily trampled on if the beast decided to body smash him.
“Xiao Bai, the bazooka.”
“Here!”
Xiao Bai pointed and a bazooka immediately popped up in front of Qin Feng.
Qin Feng retrieved it and placed it skillfully on his left arm. This was the same weapon he had used at Zimu Mountains to counter-attack Lu Heng and also the one that had put down the Emperor Knight.
Qin Feng took aim at the giant broodmother and…
Click!
Qin Feng pushed the trigger and the muzzle of the bazooka instantly buzzed with flares shooting out of it.
An orange missile broke free and flew straight out.
On top of the hotel, the three men that had failed to locate Qin Feng immediately turned their heads to the source of the blast.
“He’s there!”
“It’s a bazooka. He is using a firearm?” Wang Chen was bewildered.
“Maybe he is just trying to drive the broodmother away from its web?” Zhao Xiang expressed his doubt.
But Wang Chen was getting more and more astounded.
Boom!
The missile traveled at an astonishing speed. It reached the beast at a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye.
In the next moment, the missile landed precisely on the spider’s abdomen.
An explosion swiftly followed and it trembled the giant web vigorously.
Chirp!
The broodmother wailed out of rage from inside the mushroom cloud. A wide string shot out from it and stuck to another building not far away from Qin Feng’s position.
Next, a giant spider was seen dashing out from the fire through the string. It was largely unharmed as not a single wound was spotted on its body.
Qin Feng did not move and launched another missile.
Bam!
Similarly, the missile flew straight at the broodmother.
However, the broodmother came ready this time. It spitted string from its mouth and dragged itself away from the missile ballistic.
‘Where are you running off to?’ Qin Feng snorted and focused his consciousness. ‘Turn!’
The missile that had missed the broodmother suddenly turned back and hit right at the beast’s abdomen.
Kaboom! The impact flipped the beast and dropped it to the ground.
The three observers had their jaws dropped to the ground after witnessing the entire process.
“How did he do that?” Zhao Xiang could not close his mouth.
“Maybe because he is an ability user?” That was the only plausible explanation He Ling could muster.
Wang Chen did not think that it was that simple. “Although an ability user may have stronger consciousness than a gunner, it’s still pretty difficult to manipulate external objects based on conscious energy alone. Besides, it is such a precise maneuver performed at such a great distance!”
Qin Feng was at least eight hundred meters away from the beast!
Wang Chen had no idea how Qin Feng achieved such a tremendous feat.
Nevertheless, no matter how accurate Qin Feng’s missiles were, they had failed to halt the approaching broodmother.
The one thousand meters was shortened drastically under the beast’s relentless charge.
In the meantime, Qin Feng had fired eight more missiles and hit the broodmother every single time.
Unfortunately, the twelve missiles left by He Li had been exhausted.
Cluck.
Qin Feng unlatched the bazooka and threw it to Bai Li.
Bai Li caught it and swiftly stored it into the spatial rune. At the same time, the broodmother had reached under the building Qin Feng was at.
Its spider legs climbed tirelessly up the twelve-floor building and the beast was closer than ever.
“Engage!”
Qin Feng promptly unsheathed his saber. The gleam of the blade brightened the night as if a meteor had just flashed across it.
Qin Feng signaled to the horse under his thighs and the umbra stallion immediately merged into the surroundings.
Dark Shadow!
