Chapter 893 - The Black Alp Overlord

Chapter 893: The Black Alp Overlord

Voodoo Lord was so shocked.

How could they not notice someone like this when he had gotten this close to them?!

Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not have his attention on Voodoo Lord. His attention was on He Tianxing, who was focusing on negotiating with Voodoo Lord. By giving Voodoo Lord his full attention, He Tianxing had left himself wide open for an attack.

With the Dark Armor protecting him, there was no weakness underneath Qin Feng’s black robe.

In an instant, Qin Feng leaped into the air.

“Rampage influx!”

Having activated his internal energy, Qin Feng quickly leapt into the air using his newly learned qingong.

Like Voodoo Lord, He Tianxing finally noticed Qin Feng.

However, in the next second, Voodoo Lord’s eyes shrunk in shock when he saw Qin Feng appear behind He Tianxing. What made this entire experience even weirder was that Voodoo Lord was not able to detect and sense his presence at all even after seeing his appearance before him.

He Tianxing, of course, also could not sense his presence either.

Qin Feng was moving too fast!

Then, Qin Feng unsheathed and pulled his Verdant Emperor Saber from his black robe. He Tianxing, in the split second, sensed the terrifying vibration that was ringing from the saber and turned around.

However, as soon as he turned his body, he could feel his internal energy shield crack before everything before him spun wildly. The ground was above his head and then the sky rolled back up—it went on for a few seconds before it finally stopped.

And he saw it. A headless body standing before him. A body that seemed peculiarly familiar to him.

Then, he realized that this “headless body” was actually his before his consciousness gradually faded to nothingness.

Psshh!!!

A gush of overflowing internal energy raged out of He Tianxing’s headless body’s neck. Then, a star flew out of the corpse and into the air!

This was the first time Qin Feng witnessed the death of an S-tier ancient warrior. The Dragon-borne’s death was different and he was no S-tier. This was why he was rather surprised when he saw the internal energy star fly out of He Tianxing’s body.

However, it did not take long for him to recollect himself from the surprise.

“Asteroid Assimilation!”

The internal energy star was then absorbed into his body as Asteroid Assimilation did its job.

As the internal energy star dropped into Qin Feng’s dantian, it was crushed into pieces and merged with his starglobe. Still, as the newly acquired internal energy was not entirely cultivated into Qin Feng’s, the color and aura that they emitted felt quite different and incompatible with everything around them—like an oil spill on pure, white snow.

Regardless, Qin Feng did not feel the usual berserk, uncontrollable quake like how it was in the past anymore whenever he activated his Asteroid Assimilation.

Of course, he did not try to properly digest the newly acquired internal energy either—he did not have the time because there was still another enemy in front of him.

Yes, Voodoo Lord was still present and not dealt with!

However, Voodoo Lord was basically mentally incapacitated by what he had witnessed. To him, killing an S-tier was nothing to bat an eye for. However, the ability to absorb an S-tier’s internal energy star the moment he killed him to raise his power? This was too unthinkable and evil even at his paygrade.

It was then, the guards that were stationed at the canyon’s entrances came rushing to the scene.

Fire Phoenix had arrived with her men too. She was shocked and tongue-tied when she saw He Tianxing’s corpse on the ground.

Right now, the black-robed Qin Feng was unleashing an overwhelmingly terrifying presence in front of these criminals. This presence was so powerful and overpowering that everyone, including Fire Phoenix, felt as though they were being strangled by it.

‘Could this be an assassin under Voodoo Lord’s employment? No…! He had an assassin murder our master?! What should we do now? Can we still live and return home?’ Fire Phoenix thought to herself.

She was so terrified and stunned. She knew there was no way for her to escape—Qin Feng’s presence was as powerful as an S-tier right now, so intimidating that she could not imagine she could escape him.

Of course, if an S-tier wanted to kill them, there was no way for any of them to escape with their lives.

However, Qin Feng had a different idea.

He turned and looked at Voodoo Lord. “From today onward, the Dark Citadel belongs to me. And you were right earlier, Voodoo Lord. It’s a difficult time to do business nowadays. Perhaps you would like to forfeit 10% of your earnings and delegate them to me?”

Voodoo Lord’s wrinkled face twitched when he heard that.

These were his exact words a few moments ago. And now, it was used against him. He wanted to slap his own mouth so badly right now!

Voodoo Lord realized that this black-robed man was here to kill He Tianxing and if it were not for him fighting with He Tianxing earlier, this man would not be able to lay a finger on He Tianxing at all.

Besides, if this man could kill He Tianxing so easily… perhaps it would be equally easy for this man to kill him too!

Right now, Voodoo Lord thought that his life was in Qin Feng’s mercy!

“Certainly! Now, may I know your name, Sir? You see, it’s easier for us to work together if I know who you are, right?” Voodoo Lord asked.

Qin Feng knew Voodoo Lord was trying to find out his real identity. There was no way he would tell him who he was. As such, Qin Feng answered, “I’m actually new in town. Just call me ‘Black Alp Overlord’.”

Qin Feng originally wanted to mix his and Bai Li’s name and call it “White Alp Overlord”. However, he did not want to invite trouble to her and the Fengli Organization. Thus, he changed it to “Black Alp Overlord”.

(Translator note: in Chinese, the “Feng” in Qin Feng’s name means “mountain peak” or “alp”. Bai Li’s “Bai” means “white”. The Chinese version of “Black Alp Overlord” was “Xuanfeng Mojun” (玄峰魔尊). And “xuan” means “black”. Personally, I feel that this is actually Qin Feng’s first proper brain work when it was time to come up with a name other than “Fengli”.)

Voodoo Lord frowned upon hearing what Qin Feng said.

‘New in town? He’s a newly ascended S-tier and yet I’ve never heard of him? Could he be from a family that’s as powerful as the Longs? Still, this guy calls himself an ‘overlord’. So, he should be on the Dark Coalition’s side. Jeez, the Huaxia region is such an impressive place. All these powerful families keep popping out! Perhaps it’s a wise move to forfeit the Dark Citadel to him.’

Having made up his mind, Voodoo Lord bit his lips and answered, “Okay. As you wish, Black Alp Overlord.”

“May we have a long-lasting, happy partnership!”

“… yes, may we have one indeed.” Voodoo Lord answered hesitantly, “I’ll send my underlings to you a few days later with the contract. If you would excuse me, I’ll have to go now. I have some other… pressing matters to deal with.”

“Sure. Please do come again!”

Voodoo Lord glared at Qin Feng’s face. However, Qin Feng was wearing a mask so there was no way to see his actual face at all. It was a huge contrast between Qin Feng’s emotionless mask and Voodoo Lord’s bitter face.

Screw this partnership. Please do come again? Voodoo Lord was not going to visit this place ever again!

After seeing Voodoo Lord and his men away, Qin Feng turned and faced Fire Phoenix and her underlings.

“Now, all of you! Bow before me and call me your master! Or else… Hehe! Well, I suppose your previous master is going to appreciate your company in hell.”

Fire Phoenix’s body trembled upon hearing what he said; her underlings were shaking in fear.

Finally, they kneeled and vowed, “Master, we swear our allegiance to you!”

It was the only logical, rational choice for them.

This “Black Alp Overlord” was much more powerful than He Tianxing.

Other than pledging their allegiance to him, what other choice did they have?

Of course, Fire Phoenix did the same too.

“My name is Fire Phoenix. I swear my allegiance to you, My Lord.”

Qin Feng nodded. “Good! Now you! Yes, you! From today onward, you’ll be the vice castellan of the Dark Citadel. Just keep on doing what the previous management is doing. There’s no need to change anything.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Fire Phoenix was overjoyed when she heard this. She was a capable leader but she was not given full power over the Dark Citadel back then. Now, she not only had her life spared but also received full power over the Dark Citadel! As such, this was all good news for Phoenix!
