Chapter 17 - Unfortunately, You're Not Anymore
It was Lin Feng!
Lin Feng looked angrily at the many Qin family experts. He mournfully gazed at the ruins around him, where those he once knew—the neighbors and friends—had almost all perished in the battle’s aftermath!
Bound by the rune chains, Lin Yu was constantly coughing up blood, with lingering shock in his eyes over Qiu Bo’s strength.
This old man… His strength was already nearing level 60! Moreover, these rune chains weren’t ordinary skills; they were Divine Skills!
Divine Skills were the most powerful skills humans could learn, gifts bestowed upon humanity by the gods to combat the void. Learning Divine Skills also required an enormous price.
Such strength could directly earn him the rank of lieutenant general in the military! Even though he was a level 52 Crimson Lotus Knight, he had no chance of victory against Qiu Bo, who was level 58 and possessed Divine Skills!
But Lin Yu’s concern was not this; it was Lin Feng! He looked at Lin Feng with eyes full of urgency and anxiety.
‘You shouldn’t have come!’
Lin Feng understood his foster father’s gaze. He knew the Qin family was targeting them. The most sensible choice would have been to hide, then take the college entrance exam and get into the Jixia Academy, but he couldn’t do it!!!
That was his foster father, who had raised him for ten years, teaching him day and night, with a debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain! How could he stand by and watch Lin Yu be killed!?
When Lin Feng appeared, Qiu Bo and the other Qin family experts focused on the boy, their gazes unfriendly.
Under the scrutiny of so many top experts, Lin Feng felt an unparalleled pressure. He was only level 4… Rescuing his foster father from the hands of so many experts was nothing but a fantasy!
Any one of them could crush Lin Feng with a finger, but Lin Feng had one last trump card—the Arcane Source!
After acquiring the Arcane Source, he also gained two skills, namely Summon Tidebug and Void Mark. In addition, Lin Feng had another hidden skill.
[Void Manifestation: Transforms the surrounding space into void rules, suppressing all enemies and randomly summoning a void lord manifestation under your control. The manifestation lasts for 5 minutes, with a cooldown of 7 days.].
This skill was truly heaven-defying! A 5-minute void lord manifestation had at least level 60 combat power, enough to rescue his foster father!
But to use this skill, Lin Feng had to pay a huge price—an equal contract. Lin Feng’s level was insufficient to use this skill, so he could only rely on an equal contract, sacrificing five years of his life!
But Lin Feng didn’t care at all!
Lin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination, as he prepared to activate the Arcane Source.
He knew that once he activates the Arcane Source, he would be regarded as a void cultist by everyone. Forget about taking the college entrance exam and entering the Jixia Academy.
At that point, he would be hunted by everyone, becoming humanity’s enemy, but Lin Feng couldn’t care about that anymore.
Just as Lin Feng was about to activate the Arcane Source, a familiar voice called out: “Lin Feng!”
‘Miss Chen?’ Lin Feng turned to see many Donghai City Police Department experts arriving on the battlefield.
Not only were the police department experts present, but the Donghai City Guard troops had also arrived. Among them was his homeroom teacher, Chen Lingxi!
Chen Lingxi had planned to bring Lin Feng some supplies today to help him perform well in the college entrance exam. After all, Lin Feng had failed in his career transition, and as the homeroom teacher,
Chen Lingxi felt she should show more concern for Lin Feng. It just so happened that she encountered Qin Xian leading people to besiege Lin Yu!
Chen Lingxi had met Lin Yu during a home visit. Although she was also surprised by Lin Yu’s strength. She never expected Lin Yu to be a level 52 Crimson Lotus Knight, hiding some secret behind it.
But she could assert that Lin Yu was definitely not a void cultist! Void cultists were corrupted humans, their appearance and behavior distinctly different from ordinary people, noticeable at a glance.
Chen Lingxi looked at the surrounding ruins, filled with anger toward Qin Xian! Not only had Qin Xian violated the empire’s law by disrupting the awakening ceremony, he had also openly acted in the city, causing numerous civilian casualties!
What was the Qin family trying to achieve!?
Meng Zhou’s face was equally grim. He hadn’t expected the situation to escalate so much, with so many civilian casualties, marking his failure as the police chief!
Furthermore, he discovered that around the battlefield, city police officers were aiding the Qin family experts.
What a massive joke! The city police officers were on duty, and he, as their superior, knew nothing!
A Qin family expert glanced indifferently at the Donghai City experts and said coldly, “Empire Police Department and Command Office joint enforcement, unrelated personnel, withdraw! Otherwise, we’ll kill without mercy!”
Chen Lingxi was almost exploding with anger at such arrogant words! This was Donghai, not the capital! The Qin family came to Donghai City to kill, and now they wanted the Donghai people to get lost!?
Did Qin Xian truly believe the empire belonged to his Qin family!?
Chen Lingxi glanced at Meng Zhou, who naturally understood Miss Chen’s intention. He was equally furious. Although he was somewhat intimidated by the Qin family, he was Chen Beiguo’s man and naturally wouldn’t back down.
If this matter wasn’t resolved today, it would be a considerable blow to Chen Beiguo’s reputation! Even if the person in front of him was the young master of the Qin family, he had to act!
Such was the rule in the power arena. If he acted, Chen Beiguo could still protect him. If he didn’t, no one would protect him… The consequences would be even worse!
He stared coldly at the police officers: “I order you to immediately withdraw and return to the bureau to await punishment!”
In his mind, he had already sentenced these people to death, intending to expel them when they returned! These people were no longer usable!
The police officers with the Qin family showed embarrassed expressions.
Qin Xian looked at Meng Zhou and smiled: “Who are you?”
“Donghai City Police Department Chief, Meng Zhou! According to the Empire Regent Order No. 28275, the police department is the highest local security authority!”
“Now, as the Donghai City Police Department Chief, I order you to immediately cease all activities. And hand over the suspect to our Donghai City Police Department!”
Although the police department’s rank was low, it was still a first-line authority department. If he really fought it out, he could indeed cause some trouble for Qin Xian!
“Donghai City Police Department Chief?” Qin Xian smiled slightly.
He glanced at Qiu Bo beside him, who nodded after making a phone call. “Unfortunately, you’re not anymore.”
