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 .
*Translator’s note: The third dog reference originated from the phrase “While two dogs fight for a bone, a third runs away with it” .
