Chapter 170: The Appearance of the Black Snake

As the man's voice faded, more than a dozen burly men in black rushed out from behind him, surrounding Qin Feng tightly.

Each of them held a gleaming machete, looking ready to chop Qin Feng into mincemeat.

"Just by relying on them?"

Qin Feng smiled with utter contempt, not a shred of fear in his eyes.

"A mere mob, yet you dare to bark in front of me?"

Before his voice had even died away, Qin Feng flicked his figure, charging into the crowd like a phantom.

"Bang!"

With just a few muffled cries of agony, those burly men in black had not even had time to react.

They were knocked flat to the ground by Qin Feng, one by one clutching their stomachs and howling without stop.

"With just this little bit of skill, you dare to come out and make a fool of yourselves?"

Qin Feng clapped his hands, looking at the man wearing the ghost mask with absolute disdain.

"Whatever other tricks you have left, bring them all on!"

The man was clearly shocked by Qin Feng's strength; he had never expected Qin Feng to be so formidable, capable of disposing of so many of his subordinates in the blink of an eye.

"You... don't get cocky!"

The man shouted, putting on a brave front.

"Our Black Snake Organization is not to be trifled with! If you dare to lay a finger on me, my boss will certainly not let you off!"

"Your boss?" Qin Feng sneered. "I'd love to see just how capable he really is!"

"You're courting death!" Realizing his threats were useless, the man flew into a rage from embarrassment, pulled a black handgun from his waist, and pointed it at Qin Feng.

"Go to hell!"

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet carrying the breath of death hurtled toward Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had been prepared for this; he tilted his body slightly and easily dodged the bullet.

"With only this petty skill, you still want to kill me?" Qin Feng chuckled coldly, his figure vanishing from the spot once more.

Before the man could react, a blur flashed before his eyes, followed by a sharp, agonizing pain in his chest. His entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Cough, cough..."

The man struggled to crawl back up, only to find that he could not move at all as a mouthful of fresh blood gushed from his lips.

Qin Feng walked over to the man, looking down at him from above with eyes full of a chilling intent to kill.

The man coughed in agony, blood continuously welling from the corners of his mouth.

With trembling fingers, he fished a remote control from his pocket and fumbled to press a button.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a massive, earth-shattering roar, the wall behind Qin Feng collapsed inward. Amidst the billowing dust and smoke, a tall, imposing figure slowly strode into the room.

"Boss!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the man looked as though he had grabbed onto a straw to save his life, a faint spark of hope igniting in his eyes.

"Useless trash!"

The newcomer kicked him over onto his side, his eyes filled with utter disgust.

"You couldn't even handle a simple task like this—what use do I have for you?!"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, closely sizing up the man before him.

He was tall and robust, dressed in tight black martial attire, with a ferocious ghastly ghost mask strapped across his face. A chilling murderous aura emanated from his entire body, making one's blood run cold.

"Are you the boss of the Black Snake Organization?"

Qin Feng asked coldly.

"That's right, I am Black Snake," the man replied in a low, deep voice.

"Kid, you're quite a fighter, but of all things you could have done, you should never, ever have meddled in the affairs of the Black Snake Organization!"

"I am merely taking people with me!"

Qin Feng ignored his threat.

"Hmph, you still have the leisure to worry about others?" Black Snake sneered.

"Today, you can't even protect your own skin!"

Without another word, Black Snake flicked his form, rushing toward Qin Feng like a phantom. His speed was astonishingly even faster than that of the ghost-masked man before him!

"The Fourth Realm!"

A jolt of shock ran through Qin Feng's heart. He had not anticipated that this Black Snake would possess such formidable strength, having already broken through to the Fourth Realm!

"Bang!"

Their fists collided, producing a dull, heavy explosion.

Qin Feng felt an overwhelming, mountain-toppling force wash over him, causing his body to involuntarily retreat backward.

Every single step left a deep footprint etched into the hard concrete floor.

"Not bad, no wonder you dared to act so arrogant in front of me!"

A flash of surprise crossed Black Snake's eyes, immediately replaced by deep contempt.

"However, thinking you can fight me with just this little strength is nothing short of seeking your own demise!"

Black Snake launched another offensive immediately, denying Qin Feng even a single moment to catch his breath.

Though Qin Feng resisted with all his might, the gap in their realms was simply too vast, and he gradually began to lose ground.

"Bang!"

Black Snake landed a punch squarely on Qin Feng's chest, sending his entire body flying backward.

He crashed heavily into the wall behind him.

Qin Feng felt a turbulent surge of Qi and blood churn in his chest, a sweet taste rising in his throat as a mouthful of fresh blood spewed forth.

"Qin Feng!"

Aileen, bound tightly to a chair, let out an involuntary cry of alarm at the sight, her eyes brimming with worry and panic.

"Haha, kid, you know what fear feels like now, don't you?"

Black Snake burst into wild laughter, his eyes full of smug triumph and mockery.

"Kneel down and beg for mercy now, and maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your dog's life!"

"Cough, cough..."

Qin Feng struggled to push himself up from the floor, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as blazing fury filled his gaze.

"Want me to surrender? In your dreams!"

"Stubborn to the end!"

Black Snake's expression darkened as a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Since you are hell-bent on dying, I'll grant your wish!"

Qin Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes wide open.

He channeled the remaining spiritual energy within his body, the cultivation pathways of the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art spinning rapidly through his mind, until a faint golden radiance gradually enveloped his entire frame.

"Hmph, a dying struggle!"

Seeing this, Black Snake's expression grew even more ferocious as he hurled yet another punch directly at Qin Feng's chest.

Qin Feng let out a muffled grunt, his body remaining completely unyielding, while the counter-shock wave sent tingling numbness all the way up Black Snake's arm.

"What?!"

Black Snake's expression drained of color in utter disbelief. With his Fourth Realm cultivation, a full-strength strike couldn't even break through this kid's defense?

What kind of monster was this kid?

Taking advantage of the split second Black Snake was stunned, Aileen, tied to the chair, seized the opportunity and strained with all her might, actually snapping the ropes that bound her.

"Qin Feng, watch out!"

Noticing that Black Snake's attention had been momentarily diverted, Aileen shouted loudly to warn him.

Hearing Aileen's warning, Qin Feng snapped his head up to see Black Snake glaring fiercely at him, eyes blazing with murderous intent.

"Vile bitch, you dare ruin my plans?"

Black Snake roared in fury, abandoning his attack on Qin Feng and pivoting to lunge straight toward Aileen.

"You're dead!"

At the sight, a blazing wrath ignited deep within Qin Feng. Disregarding his injuries, he dug his feet hard into the ground and launched himself forward.

Completely single-minded in his desire to capture Aileen, Black Snake had never expected Qin Feng to attack him with such reckless abandon. By the time he reacted, it was already too late.

"Bang!"

Qin Feng's fist landed squarely and savagely on Black Snake's chest, striking right over his vital heart meridian.

"Argh!"

Black Snake let out a miserable shriek, his entire body flying backward like a severed kite before slamming heavily onto the ground, vomiting a violent stream of blood.

"You..."

Black Snake clutched his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that he would be reduced to severe injuries by a single punch from this kid.

Ignoring Black Snake's shock, Qin Feng hurried to Aileen's side and asked with genuine concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."
