Chapter 218: Chapter 2: An Extraordinary Peak with 30,000 HP, Are You Scared Yet?

And not just that!

He was an axe master they had never seen before!

Qin Feng flicked the blood from his Champion’s Axe. Scarlet droplets ran down the blade and dripped onto the ground, leaving dark little stains.

His expression was indifferent as he swept his gaze over the four remaining Assassins. His cold eyes showed no ripple of emotion as he slowly spoke:

“Even if all five of you had attacked me at once, you wouldn’t have stood a chance.”

“So.”

“I’m giving you a chance now.”

“Surrender.”

“And I’ll let you live.”

If they surrendered, the invincible Riding and Cutting system would activate, turning them into 100% loyal Divine Chosen Soldiers.

Then, the identity of the person who sent them would naturally come to light.

However, while the Extraordinary Assassins couldn’t hide the fear on their faces, there was no panic in the depths of their eyes. Instead, there was a grim resolve to face death.

The next instant, they simultaneously shifted their attack, lunging like hungry wolves toward the immobilized Amilia on the bed.

’Four lives for one?’

’So loyal?’

Qin Feng sneered. His figure flickered, and in an instant, he was standing in front of them.

He swept the immobile Amilia into his arms with one hand and, with only the Champion’s Axe gripped in his right, fiercely counterattacked the four Assassins’ all-out assault.

In a flash of cold light.

Three of the black-clad Assassins fell one after another under the combined might of Qin Feng and his Champion’s Axe.

However, in order to protect the petite Amilia in his arms and quickly eliminate the four remaining enemies, even someone with Qin Feng’s Extraordinary skill couldn’t avoid being hit a few times. His Life Value plummeted by over three thousand, his body was covered in ghastly wounds, and blood dripped slowly through his fingers.

The last Assassin’s face was a mask of disbelief. He stared at Qin Feng and roared:

“Why?!”

“Why aren’t you dead after taking all those hits?!”

’Idiot!’

’I have thirty thousand Life Value!’

’The four of you only managed to take away a little over three thousand!’

’That’s barely a scratch.’

Holding the silent Amilia, Qin Feng slowly raised the Champion’s Axe in his right hand. His gaze fell upon the last Assassin, his voice as cold as ancient ice:

“Last chance.”

“Surrender.”

“And I’ll let you live.”

“My patience is limited. Don’t try to test my limits. The fact that I didn’t kill you just now was my final act of mercy.”

Hearing this, the Assassin jerked his head up, his gaze darting wildly between Qin Feng’s blood-soaked figure and the unharmed Amilia in his arms.

’Damn it!’

’This guy would rather take the hits himself!’

’Than let Amilia suffer even a scratch!’

’It looks like the assassination mission is a failure!’

’In that case… retreat!’

With that thought, the Assassin instantly activated his “Invisibility” skill. His thin figure faded and vanished before their eyes as he used the cover to dash out of the tent in a desperate escape.

Seeing this, Qin Feng sighed helplessly.

He gently placed Amilia back on the soft bed, then pulled out his Longbow and quiver. He nocked an arrow, aimed it at the fleeing Assassin’s invisible back, and unleashed his “Triple Shot” skill with barely a moment’s hesitation.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

An instant kill!

[Battle Ended!]

[Your Life Value has been permanently increased by “Bloodthirsty”! Affected by the “Sigmar’s Blessing” skill! An additional 30% increase has been applied!]

[In this battle, all opponents were devout Evil God Believers. You failed to capture any enemies!]

[For slaying Evil God Believers of the Extraordinary Realm and sacrificing their tainted Extraordinary souls, you have received the favor of the King of War and obtained Divine Chosen Spoils from the enemies’ corpses… Poison Fang Bow (Purple), two Healing Potions (Medium), three blue weapons, and four pieces of blue equipment.]

[Poison Fang Bow (Longbow): A Divine Chosen reward from the King of War… A purple Epic Quality Heroic Weapon, restricted to Heroic Units and Lord Units. Arrows that hit their target deal additional physical damage. Possesses the affixes “Poison Fang” (all poison stacks you apply gain an additional stack) and “Eternal” (slowly recovers weapon Durability out of combat until fully repaired).]

’Five Evil God Believers?’

’No wonder I couldn’t get them to surrender!’

’What a pity.’

’My current identity is the Emperor of the Holy Empire.’

’Not Arthas, wielder of the Book of the Dead.’

’I can’t just openly recycle these five Extraordinary Realm corpses into Skeleton Soldiers and have them continue to serve a purpose in the world of the living…’

Still, their kill rewards are pretty good.

The first affix on the Poison Fang Bow, “Poison Fang,” doubles all poison stacks I apply. Combined with the “Plague Power” Diablo imbues on my arrows, it means each attack can apply two stacks of “Plague Poison,” dealing 4 points of Poisoned damage per second.

Most importantly, as a Hero Level, purple-quality weapon, the Poison Fang Bow, just like the Champion’s Axe, has the “Eternal” affix. It can infinitely regenerate its maximum Durability and will never be completely destroyed.

’Hmm…’

’In future battles…’

’I’ll probably be using this special-effect poison bow, which suits me perfectly, from now on…’

With that thought, Qin Feng turned to look at the bed.

Amilia was dressed in a white nightgown, but the once-pure fabric was now mottled with glaring red bloodstains.

She lay there quietly on the soft bedding, her expression calm, completely still, like a delicate porcelain doll that might shatter at the slightest touch.

As a Legendary Hero whose Attributes panel the system couldn’t read,

Qin Feng wasn’t sure how strong Amilia truly was.

He didn’t know how deep her selfishness ran beneath her “Peace Warrior” disguise.

He didn’t know if she would suddenly turn on him and attack.

Or even try to take his life.

That was why Qin Feng hadn’t used his newly acquired Priest skill, “Dispel,” to remove the negative statuses like “Weakened” and “Poisoned” from Amilia. He didn’t want her to regain her Extraordinary Realm combat strength and the ability to move freely.

Instead, he chose to keep her in a weakened state, protecting her in his arms as he fought. He had desperately defended her, trading blows and taking wounds to kill the enemies with his axe.

This way, Qin Feng could now speak face-to-face with the imperial highness from Gulad without any reservations.

“Hello.”

“Amilia.”

“I am the ruler of the ’Holy Empire’ from the north… Tingfeng.”
