180: Chapter 180: Bai Qi, a Beauty Amidst the Beast Tide.

Sunset City, South City Wall.

On the black basalt South City Wall, which stood dozens of zhang high, stood densely packed Cultivators, ready for battle.

The air was filled with the thick scent of blood and the nauseating stench of Yao Beast.

Qin Feng stood at the edge of the city wall, looking down at the outside of the city from his high vantage point.

As far as the eye could see, the edge of the once lush Black Wind Mountain Range had been completely submerged by an endless tide of black Yao Beasts.

Like a vast black ocean, they roared and howled, charging madly toward the Formation of Sunset City with a terrifying Aura that could crush and overwhelm anything in its path.

"Roar—!!!"

"Kill them!!!"

The wild roars of the Yao Beasts and the angry shouts of the Cultivators intertwined, shaking the very heavens and earth.

The city defense Formation erupted with brilliant light, instantly shredding the first wave of low-level Yao Beasts into blood mist. However, more Yao Beasts quickly stepped over the corpses of their companions, rushing forward like moths to a flame.

"Open the gaps in the Formation! Cultivators, leave the city and engage the enemy!"

Following the order from the City Lord's Mansion general, dozens of huge gaps slowly opened in the Formation light screen below the city wall.

"Kill the Yao Beasts and earn Spirit Stones!"

"Kill, kill, kill! If I make money this time, I can finally buy a courtyard in the city for my sister-in-law."

"Charge—!"

Countless red-eyed Loose Cultivators, driven by the high bounties, leaped down from the city wall like dumplings falling into a pot, waving their Magical Artifacts and engaging in a brutal slaughter with the surging beast tide.

Qin Feng did not rush down. He stood with his arms crossed over his chest, watching the meat-grinder battlefield below with cold indifference.

"Master, are we not going down?" Zhao Simin stood to the side, her face turning slightly pale as she watched the horrific scene below.

"What's the rush? Charging first doesn't guarantee the rewards, but staying behind ensures you won't die first!"

Qin Feng said calmly, his deep gaze swiftly searching for prey within the chaotic herd.

Soon, his eyes locked onto a group of Early Stage Tier 3 Yao Beasts that were besieging some Loose Cultivators below.

"Now is the time."

His eyes sharpened. With a tap of his foot, he leaped from the dozens-of-zhang-high city wall like a giant roc spreading its wings.

"Inch Radiance—Kill!"

While still in mid-air, Qin Feng swung his hands violently.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish—!!!"

Nine refined steel flying knives transformed into nine dazzling silver lines of death, like nine silver snakes weaving through the Void Realm, carrying piercing sonic booms as they instantly shot into the herd below.

"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"

The dull sounds of flesh being pierced were incessant.

Qin Feng's Divine Sense was incredibly vast. With the enhancement of Inch Radiance, every flying knife seemed to have eyes of its own, piercing accurately and ruthlessly into the vital points of those Tier 3 Yao Beasts!

Eyes, throats, hearts...

Every time a knife fell, a massive, ferocious Early Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast would let out a shrill scream and crash to the ground.

"My god, who is that?!"

"What a terrifying hidden weapon technique! One-hit kill, the defense of an Early Stage Tier 3 Yao Beast can't even block a single knife from him?!"

"This speed of killing Yao Beasts is just like harvesting leeks."

The surrounding Cultivators, who were struggling in the battle, saw Qin Feng walking leisurely through the beast herd like a god of slaughter descending to the world. Where his flying knives passed, Yao Beasts fell in swathes, leaving them all gasping in shock.

Qin Feng landed steadily on the ground. He casually picked up a Tier 3 Yao Beast core that had been pierced by his flying knife, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of his mouth:

"One hundred contribution points secured. At this rate, exchanging a million contribution points for a top-grade flying Magic Treasure doesn't seem to be that difficult."

The more he killed, the more energized he became. The Qi and blood of the Heavenly Tyrant Body within him boiled completely, and he seemed to have transformed into an untiring killing machine.

He threw a left punch, and the violent power of his pure Physical Body smashed the head of a giant wolf attempting a sneak attack into pieces.

With a wave of his right hand, the nine flying knives circled around him, shredding any enemy that dared to approach.

In the midst of the blood and slaughter, Qin Feng was having the time of his life.

Just at this moment, his vast Divine Sense scanned the battlefield casually, but suddenly, amidst the chaotic army hundreds of zhang away, he discovered a somewhat familiar figure.

"Hmm?"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, his gaze piercing through the layers of beast shadows, locking onto that person.

It was a female Cultivator, covered in blood and dressed in tattered clothes.

Although her face was stained with black Yao Beast blood and she had deliberately concealed her appearance, the curvaceous, devilishly exaggerated figure was still faintly visible under the tattered clothes.

As someone with the "photographic memory" skill for top-tier figures, Qin Feng only needed one glance for the image of the female assassin who had disguised herself as a maid to kill him at the inn—Bai Qi—to instantly surface in his mind!

"It's her? Why did this crazy woman run into the beast tide at Sunset City?"

A strange look flashed in the depths of Qin Feng's eyes.

Looking closely, Bai Qi was currently in an extremely sorry state.

Her Aura was withered. Her terrifying Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation base was now fluctuating, and she could barely exert the strength of the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.

It was clear that after being besieged by the two experts from the Xuanqing Sect, Senior Brother Chen Taian and Ruan Fengjiao, although this woman had fought for her life to escape, she had paid a heavy price.

At this moment, three Tier 3 Early Stage "Flame Demon Tiger" beasts, their bodies burning with black flames and exuding monstrous ferocity, were surrounding Bai Qi tightly and launching frantic attacks.

"Get lost—!"

Bai Qi waved her pitch-black dagger in despair, struggling to fend off the Demon Tigers' claws and flames.

With every collision, her face grew paler.

'Damn it... Is it possible that I, Bai Qi, am really going to die in the mouths of these beasts today?'

Bai Qi gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with unwillingness and despair.

If she were in her prime, she could have slapped these mere three Early Stage beasts to death with one palm, but now...

"Bang!"

A Flame Demon Tiger seized the opening, and its thick tail whipped fiercely against her back like a steel lash.

"Ah!"

Bai Qi let out a miserable scream, her whole body flying out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the muddy, bloody water.

Seeing the three Demon Tigers open their blood-red mouths, revealing sharp fangs and roaring as they pounced, Bai Qi closed her eyes in despair.

In the distance, Qin Feng saw this scene. He had originally intended to stand by and watch, to see how this female assassin who had once tried to kill him would be devoured by the Yao Beasts.

But just at this moment, the crisp and pleasant notification sound of the System suddenly rang out in his mind without warning.

[Ding! Detected eligible target for assistance: Bai Qi.]

[System issuing emergency mission: Help the target escape from the brink of death!]

[Mission Reward: One System Mission Gift Package!]

Upon hearing the words "Gift Package," Qin Feng's originally indifferent eyes instantly lit up like two hundred-watt light bulbs.

'Hehe, the System has spoken, so the nature of this situation is different now.'

Qin Feng licked his lips, a greedy, wicked smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Chaos True Qi within his body erupted explosively.

"Swish—!"

He transformed into a violent streak of black lightning, and with a savage and overbearing posture, he smashed a bloody path directly through the dense herd, rushing straight toward the direction where Bai Qi was.

"Those who block me shall die!"

Qin Feng let out a long howl, clenching his right fist, and threw a violent punch at an Early Stage Tier 3 Yao Beast that was blocking his way.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the dull sound of bone and flesh shattering, the massive Yao Beast didn't even have time to scream; its entire head was smashed like a watermelon by that single punch, and the headless corpse crashed to the ground.

Fifty zhang!

Thirty zhang!

Ten zhang!

Just as Qin Feng was about to reach Bai Qi and prepare to take action to deal with those three Flame Demon Tigers.

A cold killing intent, hidden in the shadows and extremely insidious, suddenly erupted without warning from the diagonal rear of his right side.

"Little bastard, die for me!!!"

Accompanied by a hysterical and venomous roar.

Gu Dashan, who had been hiding in the shadows and watching Qin Feng like a venomous snake, finally found what he considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a sneak attack.

He held a ghost-head saber emitting a ghostly green toxic glow tightly in his left hand, crazily pouring his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage True Qi into it, and with a madness of mutual destruction, he hacked fiercely toward Qin Feng's back!

Gu Dashan's eyes were filled with the gratification of having his great revenge avenged.

He believed that with this slash, he would definitely be able to split the piece of trash who had broken his arm into two.

Boom—!!!
