Master of the End Times Chapter 463 - Entrance Fees

Chapter 463: Entrance Fees

An idea soon lit up in Ah Psai’s calculative mind.
If he were to charge entrance fees of 10 billion per person, then one hundred aptitude users would earn him 1 trillion!
This would surely be a lucrative business since the gaea crystal was such a rare and limited resource at the moment.
Ah Psai laughed satisfyingly and said, “Mr. Qin, I like your suggestion. Since we are friends, I am willing to accommodate and let you through.”
Qin Feng nodded. To him, 10 billion was not a significant amount. He casually took out one cubic power credit and passed it to Ah Psai. Whether Ah Psai would have the chance to spend the money was not of his concern.
Qin Feng entered the Holy Mountains while Ah Psai did not stop his activity on the outside. He recruited a large band of construction workers to build a wall surrounding the mountains.
The walls were poorly constructed. Ah Psai only needed a symbolic structure to mark his territory. Arrow slits were introduced to the wall at short intervals and Ah Psai had also applied poison at spots he deemed vulnerable.
Even though the mountains were still elevating and the wall structures were being destroyed constantly by the uplifting land, Ah Psai kept the construction going on and on.
Nevertheless, his method did work. Ah Psai could not stop the C-tiers but the price of the entrance fees did discourage the majority of the D-tiers.
Some D-tiers needed the crystal desperately. They had reached the bottleneck for a long time and would require external help to improve. Otherwise, they might not attain C-tier for the rest of their lives. Such aptitude users had no choice but to pay the exorbitant fees.
Hence, Ah Psai’s business grew exponentially.
More and more people had entered the Holy Mountains by now.
***
At a random location inside the mountains, Qin Feng was battling an insectoid beast king.
The dark runes had sapped out most of the monster’s life force. Qin Feng swung his sword and cut the beast king into half.
‘Thirty-first!’ Qin Feng counted silently.
Beast king at this tier was no match for Qin Feng now. It would not even be counted as a fight but rather a one-sided slaughter.
Hellfire burned brightly and incinerated the insectoid corpse into ashes. The crystal core and gaea crystal were the only things that remained after the burning.
This was when a figure came flying in, stopped short mid-air, and landed right in front of Qin Feng.
The person was wearing a set of dark-red battle suits and carrying a broadsword on his back. Even his hair was dyed red and his eyes were bloodshot. His vibe spelled boastful and cunning.
Qin Feng immediately recognized the man. His name was Yuan Hongfei, a wanted aptitude user from the Dark Coalition. There was a bounty on his head in both the Bounty Hunter and Dark Hitman Network.
“Surrender your possession and I will let you live!” Yuan Hongfei said arrogantly. His eyes belonged to those of a killer.
Actually, Yuan Hongfei was going to kill Qin Feng anyway even if he did as he was told. He loved giving his victim false hope and especially enjoyed the despairing look on them when he ended their lives.
Yuan Hongfei had begun to imagine the way his opponent would yield and back off cautiously.
His pleased expression quickly evaporated when he found out that Qin Feng had ignored his threat entirely and packed the two crystals into his spatial equipment.
“Can’t you hear me? I say put down the two crystals and I may let you live!”
Qin Feng said nothing and pointed his Verdant Emperor Saber at Yuan Hongfei.
Yuan Hongfei was stunned. He did not sit well being threatened.
“Son of a b*tch! Know your place, you lowly D-tier!”
Qin Feng sneered. “On the count of three.”
Yuan Hongfei was infuriated. “You are nothing more than a bragger. Let me teach you a lesson!” He promptly unsheathed the broadsword on his back and swung it down toward Qin Feng.
The broadsword was extremely heavy. Yuan Hongfei used a great deal of internal strength to maneuver it. A force that was capable of cleaving a boulder came crashing down on Qin Feng.
“Evade or die!” Yuan Hongfei was determined to kill the narcissistic brat.
Qin Feng did not evade but only bent his wrist slightly upward.
The move seemed effortless and did not appear to be able to resist the incoming heavy attack.
The two internal forces collided. Yuan Hongfei’s internal force immediately melted away like snow exposed to sun rays. The sharp flame on the Verdant Emperor Saber hit the broadsword and easily sliced through it.
Yuan Hongfei rounded his eyes in surprise. The broadsword was made of C-tier beast king materials. It was a silver light rune equipment and it was impossible to break it that easily.
Unless the opponent was using a C-tier beast emperor weapon.
However, Yuan Hongfei did not notice any gold radiance on the saber.
There was only one explanation left.
‘God’s weapon!’
Only such a weapon had no tier restriction.
Yuan Hongfei’s greediness was laid bare on his expression. “So what if you possess a God’s weapon. It will be mine after I defeat you with my internal force!”
“Die!” Yuan Hongfei directed his internal force onto his palm. He evaded Qin Feng’s saber and landed multiple attacks on Qin Feng.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yuan Hongfei veered around Qin Feng agilely and tried to stifle his opponent with brute internal force.
However, after more than ten hits on Qin Feng’s Qi armor, it was Yuan Hongfei that began to lose strength.
Qin Feng smirked and said, “Save your energy and just die. That way, there will be more internal force left for me to absorb.”
Yuan Hongfei finally realized Qin Feng was not an ordinary D-tier.
Being a member of the Dark Coalition, Yuan Hongfei had a rich experience in life-and-dead combat. His instinct told him that it was time to run if he wanted to live.
It caught Qin Feng by surprise that Yuan Hongfei had chosen to flee so decisively. But he could never outrun Qin Feng.
“Fiery Rampage!”
Boom!
Qin Feng covered a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Hongfei dashed with all his might but he could feel that a dark aura was breathing down his neck.
A dark ability hit Yuan Hongfei, which instantly took away all his senses. His mind was clouded and rooted him on the spot.
Qin Feng grabbed the short window of opportunity to catch up. He slid the saber right through his prey’s neck and beheaded Yuan Hongfei. He then stuck out his arm and the head landed precisely on his palm.
‘Another bounty earned.’
Qin Feng grinned and turned back to get onto Yuan Hongfei’s body.
