Looking at the terrified domain transcendent, killing intent surged in Feng Qi’s heart.
He reached out and grabbed its neck. The purple patterns on the surface of his body flickered and froze the energy on the neck of the black fog figure, preventing it from atomizing again.
The black shadow began to struggle violently. The blood vessels in Feng Qi’s arm bulged as he slowly exerted strength.
However, just as the black shadow’s neck was about to be snapped, he suddenly retracted his strength.
He really wanted to kill the domain transcendent assassin in front of him and deprive it of its ability. At the same time, he wanted to use his nightmare ability to read its memories.
But there was a price to pay for doing so.
Even though he could be satisfied for a moment, he might become the target of public criticism.
If this assassin died, other assassins would appear.
Henceforth, every future timeline would be affected. Without his innate abilities, his future self could be killed by the hidden hunters at any time in the future.
The difficulty level would increased exponentially when he carries out the subsequent plans.
However, there was a way for him to resolve the situation and even obtain useful information from it.
At this thought, he suddenly stopped and asked coldly,
“Which faction are you from?”
In the face of the question, the black shadow gradually condensed and took shape. He could not help but bend down and cough. Then, he said in a hoarse voice,
“We misunderstood. We thought you were a human. Please spare my life.”
“I’m asking which faction you’re from!” Feng Qi continued coldly.
The black shadow had clearly misunderstood that he was also a domain creature, and this was the outcome he wanted. He wanted to obtain information from it.
Faced with the question, the black shadow was worried, but still said,
“We don’t belong to any faction. We’re an alliance formed by the representatives of many weak races. We’re in charge of assassinating the geniuses of the new generation of humans.”
“Oh? There’s such an organization?” Realizing that the fish had taken the bait, he continued to ask curiously.
“We don’t have the ability to completely infiltrate human society like the major races. As a small race, we can only form an alliance and infiltrate human society in this way.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi understood something.
The domain forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute and the Tiger Soul Research Institute were clearly the major races mentioned by the black shadow in front of him.
Thinking of this, a doubt appeared in his heart.
What exactly do domain factions want to infiltrate human society for?
Even the weaker races among them had to form alliances and attempt to infiltrate human society.
In addition, why would these weak domain forces assassinate the new generation of human geniuses?
Could it be to stop the development of mankind?
This was clearly not a problem that the small clans should consider. Even if the sky collapsed, there were the major ones to hold it up. Why should the alliance of the small clans worry about this?
However, he did not ask these questions.
If the answer to these questions was the consensus of the various domain forces, his newly established domain faction persona would be destroyed once he asked these questions.
He felt that it was better to be more careful before he got all the details.
The reality timeline was different from the sacrifice timeline. One wrong step and the consequences would be very serious. It might even lead to a total defeat.
At this thought, he immediately said coldly,
“Do you understand the situation now?”
Upon hearing this, the black figure’s expression was bitter as it nodded.
“Our intelligence was wrong. I didn’t expect you, some known as the new star of humanity, to be a member of the domain factions. When I return, 1 will correct the information and compensate you for my rashness.”
“What compensation?!”
Feng Qi said in an unfriendly tone, as if as long as he was not satisfied with the compensation, he would kill it.
“A Miracle Stone for my life.”
“Two!” Feng Qi raised two fingers and smiled sinisterly.
Although he did not know what the Miracle Stone was, it was a negotiation. He had to push and pull a little, or it would make him like a pushover.
There was no need to care about the effects and value of this thing. He just had to forcefully bargain.
Hearing Feng Qi ask for two, the black shadow’s eyes widened.
“Our clan’s only Miracle Stone was obtained by accident. We don’t have two at all.”
“In that case, you can’t compensate me satisfactorily?” Feng Qi smiled sinisterly and extended his fist to the black shadow’s ear.
He slowly clenched his fists. The sound of joints cracking sounded in his ears like a nail in the coffin, causing the black shadow’s expression to become terrified again.
“I’ll… I’ll give it to you if you spare my life!”
“You’re dishonest. Didn’t you just say that there was only one?”
“There are warriors from other races in the alliance who are very close to me. I can borrow them from them for you,” the black shadow said with a terrified expression, afraid that Feng Qi would kill it with a punch.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Feng Qi’s face.
“Then when are you going to give it to me?”
The black shadow hesitated and asked tentatively,
“Can you reveal which faction you are from? Did you infiltrate human society recently?”
“This is not something you should know. Everyone has their own plans. Don’t ask too much, or don’t blame me for taking your life.”
Hearing Feng Qi’s unfriendly tone, the black shadow hurriedly nodded.
“I was rash. In the future, we will never disturb the arrangements of your race.
1 will edit the information about you in the alliance. Even if other large clans come to ask, we will never reveal your secrets.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi knew that he had successfully resolved the situation.
He smiled and patted the black shadow’s shoulder before continuing,
“This is the attitude you should have if you want to live, but to be safe, I have to leave something in your body.”
As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the black shadow’s shoulder. Immediately, the blood essence power in his body seeped into the black shadow’s body under the guidance of his consciousness, engraving a death mark..
