Chapter 420: Defeat
Antonio was originally full of confidence in his trip to the northern frontier, and felt that with his own strength and background, it might take some effort to subdue Qin Feng, but the final success would still belong to him.
Before Barroso's accident, Antonio was indeed second to none as the most outstanding new-generation genius in the Magic Guild, at least at that time, his surface level was higher than Qin Feng's, and his qualifications and contributions were higher than Qin Feng's. If you want to compete in the background, Obelian is better than Barroso.
So for a long time, Antonio was a little dismissive of this competitor he had never met. I felt that with Qin Feng's level, at most it was equivalent to a core follower under his command, and it was not enough to become a seed for key cultivation in a large organization like the Magic Guild.
It was only after seeing Qin Feng with his own eyes that he realized that it was not ordinarily difficult for his idea to become a reality.
"Qin Feng, I'm here this time to ......"
After a moment's hesitation, Antonio finally spoke, still with an innate sense of superiority in his tone.
Qin Feng glanced at him and said lightly, "You want to subdue me, right?" However, your current strength level is not higher than mine, and your actual combat power is even worse, and your Yunsen Kingdom is just a third-rate small country, why are you above me? β
Antonio's face froze, there was a hint of shame and anger in his eyes, and his voice turned cold: "So you plan to refuse the teacher's kindness?" Do you know the consequences of offending the Council Elders? β
Qin Feng said: "You have a backer, of course I have it." β
Antonio sneered: "Barroso has been trapped in that desperate predicament and will never come back, I heard that the guild leaders have recently begun to discuss the by-election of a council elder to fill Barroso's vacancy." If people like you don't hurry up and find a new backer, it will be too late to regret it in the future! β
"Then let's wait until it's chosen!"
Qin Feng was unmoved. The position of the highest decision-making level of the Magic Guild is not trivial, and the twenty-five Council Elders, each of whom controls authority resources that are not inferior to those of the great kings, so its selection process is full of all kinds of unimaginable fierce competition and interest games, which can not be determined casually.
Moreover, Barroso's status is uncertain at this time, and only by convincing the entire hierarchy that he has indeed fallen will the elders initiate the relevant process and elect a new council elder to fill the vacancy. It's still a long way from that.
Antonio said with an ugly face: "So, are you really going to be my enemy?" β
Qin Feng sneered slightly: "If you refuse to be your dog, you will be your enemy?" What do you think you are? Is the Magic Guild your family's own home? All good things should belong to you? Even that teacher of yours is not qualified to say such a thing, so which onion are you? β
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. If you feel good about yourself, you think that if you are noble, have a background and have a backer, you can be superior to others outside, and everyone has to let them.
Once they meet someone who doesn't buy it, they will feel that their dignity has been greatly humiliated, and they hate them to the core, and they have to find their way back to the field by all means, just like mad dogs.
Antonio's figure suddenly disappeared from its place, and at the same time, a dim gray glow appeared in Qin Feng's throat without warning, stabbing at his fatal point with swiftness and fierceness.
It's just that this surprise attack, which is bound to win, is easily blocked by a magic staff, and it can no longer be advanced.
Antonio's face became more and more ugly as he emerged from the void, and he held a slender one-handed sword in his hand, the blade of which was inconspicuous, but it was a genuine sub-artifact. The tip of the sword was pointed at the staff, leaving no trace.
"Sure enough, it's a villain!" Qin Feng sneered.
This guy is the same as himself, he belongs to the level of the 25th pinnacle, the Shadow Swordsman class, and he also has divinity, but not as much as himself.
Antonio retreated suddenly, the long sword in his hand instantly turned into nothingness, and then he swooped up like lightning, launching a continuous offensive around Qin Feng like a storm.
The triple golden light shield inside and outside enveloped Qin Feng's figure, and immediately one after another, powerful negative state magic kept throwing out, accurately hitting Antonio.
Antonio's body has all kinds of brilliance flashing from time to time, stubbornly resisting the erosion and attack of magical power, as Obelian's proud protΓ©gΓ©, the equipment is naturally impossible to be bad, there are as many as five sub-artifacts in the body, and the alchemy structure must not be bad.
Under the intensive assault of thousands of gray blades, Qin Feng's outermost magic shield finally collapsed, but his reaction was extremely fast, and every time the shield was destroyed, a new one would immediately be replaced. Antonio attacked with all his might for half an hour, but he couldn't even break through Qin Feng's defenses, but instead he himself was constantly tormented by one powerful negative state magic after another.
Antonio is very aware of his attack power, this kind of shield defense blessed with the power of the rules is certainly strong, but the consumption is also first-class, with Qin Feng's rank, he can use it five or six times and basically run out of magic power.
However, he defeated more than a dozen magic shields before and after, and Qin Feng was still relaxed and freehand, still looking like he had spare strength. On the contrary, it was himself, the consumption of the fighting qi in his body had already passed half, and his body was getting heavier and heavier, and the intensity of his attack had slowed down significantly.
No matter how powerful his equipment was, there were more and more negative state magic that took effect on him, and every now and then a thick lightning bolt would fall in the air, making him grin and inhale cold air.
After a moment, Antonio suddenly screamed and flew back, half of his body had become charred, his face was pale, and his breath dimmed sharply.
"How?"
Qin Feng hesitated, and finally gave up his plan to chase and kill.
Antonio retreated to a kilometer away, and took out multiple bottles of high-grade alchemy potions in a row and drank them, which stopped the further deterioration of his injuries, and his breath rebounded significantly.
"You...... You ......"
Antonio gritted his teeth and wanted to say a few more cruel words, but he remembered that he was still on Qin Feng's territory, and finally stopped wisely.
With his level, he is indeed qualified to be among the top geniuses on the continent, but after the senior legendary realm, the legal profession has an obvious advantage in the research, comprehension, control and utilization of the rules, which leads to the gap between the combat professional and the legal professional gradually manifested, and the further it goes, the more obvious it becomes.
What's more, Qin Feng is not an ordinary legendary mage at all, even if Antonio's profession has a relatively large restraining effect on mages, he is still not his opponent.
"Well, I lost!"
Antonio said gloomily: "Don't leave it at this time, I just hope you don't regret it in the future." β
As he spoke, the floating magic battleship slowly retreated, and then accelerated away.
A beautiful silhouette appeared beside him, and Aaron looked at the battleship in the distance and asked, "This guy's strength looks average, I can have a tie with him, why don't you keep him?" After you let him go back, you will inevitably have to speak ill of you in front of those old things. β
Qin Feng sighed: "It's easy to kill him, but in this way, it will completely tear up his face with O'Belian, and the kingdom will not want to have a stable development in the future." β
"Obellian shouldn't be your match either, right?"
"Yes, but after all, he still has the identity of the elder of the Magic Guild, if I kill him directly, it will be tantamount to offending the high-level of the entire Magic Guild, even if it is just for the face of the organization, it is impossible to let me go."
In the history of the past tens of thousands of years, there have been many examples of high-level magic guilds being killed by hostile forces, but they inevitably pay a corresponding price afterwards, whether it is an individual or an organization, even a god.
Obelian is not the only one in the Magic Guild, plus there is Barroso's affection, so Qin Feng doesn't want to really fall out with this super organization, and the time is not ripe at present.
Of course, he didn't just leave it at that. Just because you can't take a direct shot doesn't mean you can't teach Antonio a lesson in other ways.
Back in the palace, Qin Feng immediately summoned Phantom Ling and ordered: "Immediately issue a bounty for Antonio's assassination through special channels, no matter who it is, as long as you can take off his head, you can get a reward of 30,000 magic crystals!" β
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The Dark Elf Maiden didn't say anything, and immediately agreed.
The price of 30,000 magic crystals is unimaginably rich, and under normal circumstances, the lives of those kings of medium powerhouses are not worth this price, even the appearance fee of the super strong is not so exaggerated.
In the entire starry world, there are more than one or two powerful dark organizations, and some of them have a history of existence dating back to the distant primeval era, and the internal powerhouses are like clouds, and they are not very afraid of the power of the magic guild, not to mention that Antonio's position is not as irreplaceable as he thinks.
Again, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem at all, if only some magic crystals can solve this nasty enemy, so that Obelian's plan will be completely defeated, Qin Feng feels that it is still quite cost-effective.
Afterwards, if this council elder remained silent, if he dared to continue tossing and turning, Qin Feng didn't mind spending another large amount of magic crystals to kill him together.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and it only took a day for this order to be released, and there were dark organizations from other continents that said they had taken the order.
So in the following days, Antonio suffered a number of assassinations in a row, and the strong guards around him suffered heavy losses, and in the end even he himself was seriously injured, if Obelian hadn't arrived in time to save him, this guy's life would have been completely confessed.
In the end, Obelian, who had nothing to do, could only hide him in his half-plane to recuperate, which could be regarded as a temporary purification.
