Shang Jing.
In the dark night sky, eight figures floated in the void, quietly overlooking the brightly lit city under their feet.
Floating in the void was the symbol of a King.
They could be Martial Kings or Soul Kings. Of course, they could also rely on soul skills, but this kind of soul skill was very rare.
"Shang Jing is very lively tonight."
Suddenly, someone broke the silence.
The one who spoke was an old man in a gray robe. The old man held a long sword, and his long silver hair was very eye-catching under the moonlight.
The old man stared at the city under his feet, and his tone was cold.
Although it was already past midnight, the city under his feet was still in a state of excitement and restlessness.
"It's normal. A 100 billion bounty hasn't appeared for a long time. It's normal for it to be lively!"
Someone echoed.
"These days, a lot of bastards from the New World have also appeared. We've already caught three or four, but looking at the situation, there are still many fish that escaped the net."
"It's not just the bastards from the New World. The police department also found traces of many professional killers. They expelled some of them, and warned some of them."
"These bastards from the New World really deserve to die."
"These days, a lot of powerhouses have come, including many from the Ling Yun Realm. There are even King Stage powerhouses. In addition to watching the competition, some of them are probably here for the bounty."
Everyone was discussing.
Their words were dignified and a little uneasy.
The eight of them were all King Stage powerhouses. Except for two whose identities were kept secret, six of them were guardians. They all had bounties on them. The average bounty was about 10 billion. The highest was 30 billion, which was less than one-third of Linfeng's.
They all had the strength of a King Stage powerhouse. To get this bounty, only a King Stage powerhouse could do it. A battle between King Stage powerhouses was very risky and noisy. Very few people could directly crush them. It was very likely that both sides would suffer.
Moreover, as guardians, they were usually in the base city. Even if there were killers who were tempted by the bounty, they wouldn't dare to make a move.
Therefore, they didn't care about the bounty.
As for Lin Feng, he had just reached Grade 6 not long ago. As an invincible genius of the same level, he could cross realms and fight against Grade 7 and even Grade 8 experts. However, he's definitely not a match for Grade 9 Soaring Cloud Realm or Grade 9 Demon Spiritualist. Any one of them could easily kill him.
Or even an instant kill.
Geniuses who had yet to mature, even if they were super geniuses, were very fragile.
This was also the reason why some people were tempted to attack Lin Feng even though there were many powerful people gathered in the base city.
Not only the New World's people and assassins, but even some ordinary Martial Artists and Demon Spiritualists would be tempted.
A hundred billion!
With this sum of money, he wouldn't have to worry about resources and soul skills anymore.
Many times, values and even principles were pitifully fragile in the face of money and power.
A sky-high bounty, and the target was only a Rank-6. The temptation was too great. Without making a move, one would not know who the enemy was.
An open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against.
This was the real reason why even the Guardians found it troublesome.
"In the base city, safety is still guaranteed. The real problem is the Pure Land."
A middle-aged man said with a worried tone.
"Logically speaking, the Sea Heavenly King is one of us and has a good relationship with the higher-ups. He must know Linfeng's importance. He shouldn't have issued such a mission!"
"Emperors are high and mighty. They have transcended the human race and can be considered a new life form. Not to mention the Pure Land's 12 Heavenly Kings. Their strength is stronger than ordinary Emperors. Who knows what such big shots are thinking?
In their eyes, perhaps this is just a game. "
"I wonder which bastard issued this mission. What a bastard."
Perhaps it was because they were talking about the Pure Land, but the atmosphere was a little heavy.
The Pure Land was an organization that even the country was afraid of. No one was willing to provoke them.
It wasn't a secret that Lin Feng had become an apostle candidate. They were also aware of the apostle mission this time.
When they heard about this mission, they were surprised and smiled bitterly.
An apostle candidate had become the target of an assassination mission. This was the first time they had heard of such an apostle mission.
Linfeng was probably speechless and helpless.
Yesterday, one of the apostle candidates, Dream Creator Zhang Yulin, was killed, which also attracted their attention and vigilance.
These candidates were talented and powerful. Almost all of them had special abilities and were too fearless. They were simply crazy and dared to make a move at this juncture.
Furthermore, they made a move in a hotel where many powerhouses were gathered.
With Linfeng's fame, identity, and battle record, if he killed them in Shang Jing, the city would become the laughing stock of the entire country.
As Guardians, they would be the ones to lose face.
Fortunately, Bu Yuanlong discovered and killed them in time. Otherwise, it would have been a huge embarrassment.
Every invincible genius of the same level had a special value in addition to having the potential of a king-level powerhouse.
They were even more important than them.
Linfeng had sealed a door and killed hundreds of alien geniuses. In terms of battle record and contribution, he was not inferior to them. In fact, he was even more brilliant.
If such a genius were to be killed, it would truly be a pity.
Especially since Linfeng might become one of the 24 apostles.
If he could enter the Pure Land, it would be of great help to the country in obtaining information about the organization.
As for whether he could become one of the Heavenly Kings in the future, that was too far away and too early.
It was precisely because of the bounty and Linfeng's importance that Shang Jing had entered a level three alert state.
.....
After coming out of the room, Ye Qiu returned to his room. Not long after, he walked out of the room with a pitch-black bag and met Zhan Tianyu, who was waiting at the door.
It was obvious that Zhan Tianyu was waiting for him.
"Thanks for just now. What's the matter?"
Ye Qiu was slightly stunned when he saw Zhan Tianyu.
"You're welcome. We're on the same side."
Zhan Tianyu waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled. He glanced at the bag Ye Qiu was carrying and whispered, "Demon Spirit?"
"Mmm."
Ye Qiu looked around. There was no one around, so he nodded.
At this moment, he understood why Zhan Tianyu was waiting for him.
"What level?" Zhan Tianyu asked curiously.
Two days ago, Ye Qiu only told him that he wanted to become the main force, but he didn't tell him his plan. However, Zhan Tianyu could guess.
Even if he refined the Bramble Devil Dragon, there was still a gap of two years. If it was someone else, Ye Qiu could easily crush them with his Soul Skill and demon spirit. However, to become the main force of the team, Gao Qiang's talent and strength were beyond doubt. Even if his talent wasn't as good as Ye Qiu's, he was still a super genius.
Furthermore, Gao Qiang was different from him. As a member of the Glory family, he was very picky when it came to Soul Skills. Although his demon spirit had grown to Rank 6 and could absorb six Soul Skills, he had only absorbed five. As for the remaining Soul Skill, if he didn't find a suitable one, he would rather leave it empty than absorb it.
On the other hand, Gao Qiang had already absorbed six Soul Skills. Three Silver, two Gold, and one Purple Gold.
With Ye Qiu's current strength, he was definitely not Gao Qiang's opponent. Even so, Ye Qiu still had the courage to fight for the position of the main force.
The reason was obvious.
Other than absorbing Soul Skills, and high-level Soul Skills at that, Ye Qiu had no hope of winning.
He waited at the door because he wanted to see how Lin Feng would help others absorb Demon Spirits and increase the success rate.
If Ye Qiu could successfully absorb Demon Spirits, it would indicate the unlimited future of the Alliance.
He would also use his family's resources to collect Soul Skills that were suitable for him at all costs.
If he failed, the Avengers Alliance would still exist, but their importance in his heart would be greatly reduced.
That contract, other than restricting them from harming Lin Feng, didn't have any other restrictions. The main link of the Alliance's existence was Lin Feng's special ability.
"Night Dragon Demon Spirit!"
Ye Qiu didn't plan to hide it. As a member of the same team and a member of the Alliance, there was no need to hide it.
"Diamond Soul Skill!"
Zhan Tianyu was a little surprised. He originally thought that it was a Purple Gold Soul Skill. After all, Ye Qiu had only absorbed three Soul Skills. Now, he was absorbing his fourth Soul Skill.
Absorbing a Diamond Soul Skill for his fourth Soul Skill?
Isn't he being too hasty?
"His fourth Soul Skill is already so big?
Wouldn't it be safer to absorb a Purple Gold Soul Skill? "
Zhan Tianyu frowned and advised.
In his opinion, Ye Qiu was a little anxious to defeat Gao Qiang and obtain a position in the main team.
Ye Qiu had refined a Bramble Demonic Dragon, ranked 17th on the Earth Board. With its high rank, he was the number one youth in the country.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the attributes were compatible, the higher the rank of the demon spirit, the higher the success rate of absorbing a Soul Skill.
Furthermore, it was also a Dragon Demon Spirit, so the success rate would be higher.
However, it had to be known that Ye Qiu had only absorbed his fourth soul skill.
To absorb a Diamond Soul Skill for his fourth Soul Skill, how many people could there be in the country?
Not to mention the fourth Soul Skill, even the fifth and sixth Soul Skills were rare.
The most common Diamond Soul Skill was worth over ten billion. The Night Dragon Demon Spirit was a Dragon Demon Spirit that contained the bloodline of a True Dragon. It was a King Rank Demon Spirit, a Rank Nine Demon Spirit, and should be worth over twenty billion.
If he failed, it wouldn't just be a matter of money, but he would also lose a precious demon spirit.
A good Soul Skill was something that could only be found by chance. If he failed, no one knew if he could find another one.
In his opinion, it was safer to be conservative.
After all, they had never heard of anyone who could increase the success rate of absorbing a demon spirit.
Even if they believed in Lin Feng, no one knew how much this ability could increase the success rate.
It would be safer to use a Purple Gold Soul Skill to test the effect.
The success rate would be higher too!
"A Purple Gold Soul Skill can't win against Gao Qiang!"
Ye Qiu explained.
Zhan Tianyu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Indeed, it was impossible to win against Gao Qiang by absorbing a Purple Gold Soul Skill, unless it was a Diamond Soul Skill.
They didn't continue to persuade. When the two of them arrived at Lin Feng's door and were about to knock, they happened to meet Yang Ningbing who had just returned.
Yang Ningbing was carrying a red school bag. The bag was round and bulging as if it was carrying a basketball.
"The leader called me just now. How was it? Did he agree?"
Yang Ningbing looked at Ye Qiu and asked.
"He agreed, but he has to defeat Gao Qiang," Ye Qiu said.
Yang Ningbing wasn't surprised. "As expected. This is the rule and the bottom line!"
While the two of them were chatting, Zhan Tianyu had been observing Yang Ningbing's bag. When the two of them finished chatting, he asked, "Don't tell me that there's a demon spirit in the bag?"
Yang Ningbing's eyes moved and she nodded. Seeing this, Zhan Tianyu continued to ask, "Don't tell me that it's a Diamond Soul Skill?"
Yang Ningbing glanced at Ye Qiu's bag and seemed to understand something. She smiled and nodded again.
Zhan Tianyu opened his mouth slightly and sighed. "It seems that Ye Qiu isn't the only one who's crazy!"
