Chapter 435 - 107: I Can’t Believe I’m Seeing Tingfeng in My Lifetime!?
He swallowed, his voice taking on a cold, metallic quality:
"Listen, kid. Until we verify the intel, you’d better stay put. Don’t even think about raising a hand. If you so much as twitch a shoulder, this axe of mine doesn’t discriminate."
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Qin Feng’s shoulder and sword-wielding wrist, sharp as a hawk’s. The pressure emanating from him was almost tangible, each breath heavy and oppressive.
"I’ve seen too many tough-talking thugs... So, you’d better pray the report from the Freljord Alliance matches your story."
Faced with the three men’s extreme caution, as if they were confronting a great enemy, and the cold, oppressive weight of their words, Qin Feng’s expression remained perfectly calm. He didn’t say another word.
’He knew it wasn’t easy for these Real World Law Enforcers.’
’Not only did they have to take several days out of every week, putting their progress in the Lord World and other urgent matters on hold to patrol the Real World.’
’They also had to hunt down homicidal players who slaughtered innocents and track dangerous Evil God Believers. The slightest mistake could lead to a surprise attack from a Powerful enemy, ending in a miserable death and subsequent Rebirth.’
So, there was no need for Qin Feng to argue with them. Once the information was verified, everything would be clear.
And so, he stood perfectly still, ramrod straight, with his hands hanging naturally at his sides. The Beheading Sword rested quietly against his leg, and even his breathing remained steady and long, without a hint of anxiety.
Soon, the Freljord Alliance confirmed that the corpses were indeed Evil God Players. However, they couldn’t verify the identity of Zhao Gang, who was not part of the GOC Magic Squad Alliance.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly tensed. The air seemed to freeze solid.
All three Law Enforcers simultaneously fixed their gazes on Qin Feng, their eyes filled with vigilance and scrutiny. Their grips on their weapons tightened. The hum of the spear grew louder, and the electric arcs on the great axe crackled, spitting sparks more frantically.
"Just who are you?!"
The Noxus Law Enforcer on the left was the first to speak, his voice laced with poorly-suppressed urgency. His spear tilted forward slightly, as if ready to plunge into Qin Feng’s heart.
The tall Noxus Law Enforcer in the middle immediately followed up with a deep shout, his tone full of accusation:
"We haven’t verified this man’s identity yet! He wasn’t a wanted member of the GOC Magic Squad, so what gave you the right to kill him?!"
Then, the Law Enforcer on the right frowned and added, "And your claim of killing the GOC Magic Squad’s Evil God Players is just your word against his. For all we know, you didn’t kill them at all. Maybe this unidentified body on the ground did... So, you need to explain who you are first. Don’t think you can just talk your way out of this!"
The three questions were thrown out one after another, each more aggressive than the last. Every word landed like a sledgehammer in the heavy air as they stared intently at Qin Feng, awaiting his response.
Seeing their stance, Qin Feng sighed helplessly, his brow furrowed slightly.
’He really didn’t want to expose his identity. Once it was out, it would inevitably lead to a whole new set of "troubles" finding their way to his door, an entanglement he could do without.’
’But in this situation, since they hadn’t verified Zhao Gang’s identity, they naturally wouldn’t be convinced by his word alone.’
’Even the Hua Country-exclusive Passage Badge he’d gotten from the Freljord Alliance probably wouldn’t earn him any trust right now.’
As he thought, Qin Feng lowered his gaze to the Beheading Sword resting quietly at his side, its cold scabbard gleaming with a dark light.
His fingertips unconsciously traced the fine patterns on the Beheading Sword Scabbard. As his fingers brushed over the raised and recessed etchings, he slowly raised his eyes, a helpless smile touching his lips as he sighed.
"I am Tingfeng."
The moment the words left his lips, he gave a slight nod. His tone was level but held an undeniable certainty as his gaze swept over the three Law Enforcers’ tense faces.
"You’ve all heard my name before, haven’t you?"
"As for this dead man, his name is Zhao Gang. He was the Vice Alliance Leader of the Rxsend Alliance. And that Player Alliance, just like the GOC Magic Squad Alliance, is full of hidden Evil God Players."
Tingfeng?
Holy shit!?
He’s Tingfeng!?
The Superman who, with just his "Emperor" and the Divine Chosen Army, utterly annihilated the Eight Realms Alliance Army formed by eight foreign Planes!?
The tall Law Enforcer in the lead stared wide-eyed, letting out a choked cry, his voice trembling with disbelief:
"What?!"
"For real?!"
One of the Law Enforcers behind him couldn’t help but curse, the spear in his tight grip wobbling so much its tip nearly scraped the ground.
"I’ll be damned!"
"This guy is *that* Tingfeng?!"
The other Law Enforcer’s voice was hurried, his hand tightening on his spear. Shock was written all over his face. The way he looked at Qin Feng instantly changed, now filled with awe and disbelief.
"Unbelievable!"
"I can’t believe I’m seeing Tingfeng in person in my lifetime!"
"Am I really this lucky?!"
As they spoke, the three unconsciously exchanged glances, seeing the same shock reflected in each other’s eyes. The calm and composed young man before them was the legendary figure deified within the player community!
After the wave of shock washed over them, the three quickly forced themselves to calm down.
As Law Enforcers of the Noxus Alliance, they couldn’t let even the most astonishing name go to their heads.
The tall Noxus Law Enforcer in the lead took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling as he suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
Far from loosening his grip on the axe handle, he clenched it even tighter, his knuckles turning whiter than before. The electric arcs on his great axe still crackled, but now there was a hint of prudence in his eyes.
"A Legendary name isn’t proof. Besides, the identity of ’Tingfeng’ is no small matter. We can’t confirm it based on a single sentence."
Another Noxus Law Enforcer behind him nodded quickly. His arm, holding the spear, remained ramrod straight. He kept the tip pointed steadily at the ground, not daring to relax in the slightest.
"That’s right. We have to wait for the Lord Players from the Freljord Alliance to send his file. Not only do we need to check his ID code and recorded information, but the crucial part is comparing the visual data to confirm his appearance perfectly matches Tingfeng’s original registration photo."
The last Noxus Law Enforcer instinctively adjusted his stance, raising his spear slightly into a defensive posture, his tone grave:
"In any case, we can’t let our guard down until we get the results."
"If someone is causing trouble by impersonating him, we can’t afford to take responsibility for that."
The three exchanged glances. Although they couldn’t hide their reverence for the name ’Tingfeng,’ their duty and principles as Law Enforcers kept them clear-headed. Their eyes remained locked on Qin Feng, showing no sign of relaxing.
So, Qin Feng remained standing motionless, his posture as straight and unyielding as a pine tree.
He rested one hand lightly on his Beheading Sword Scabbard, his fingertips occasionally tracing the patterns unconsciously. His expression was so calm it was as if the tense atmosphere around him had nothing to do with him.
Time passed quietly in the silence until a soft chime came from the communicator in the hand of a Law Enforcer behind him. The file information had finished loading.
He quickly opened it and turned the holographic projection toward the lead Lord Player. On the screen, the registration photo and identity details taken when Tingfeng was in Freljord’s jurisdiction were clearly displayed.
The three of them leaned in to compare it carefully, their gazes shifting back and forth between Qin Feng’s face and the projection. The vigilance in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by complete conviction and awe.
The tall Noxus Law Enforcer in the lead slowly loosened his tight grip on the axe handle. The white in his knuckles receded, and the electric arcs on the great axe gradually subsided.
He holstered his weapon and gave Qin Feng a solemn nod, his voice filled with sincere respect:
"The file information is a perfect match. We’ve confirmed it. You are Lord Tingfeng... We were out of line earlier. Please forgive our offense."
The other two Law Enforcers also quickly retracted their spears, the shafts hitting the ground with a THUD. Their expressions were a mixture of excitement and restraint, their eyes fixed on Qin Feng with an unconcealable reverence—the instinctive awe one feels for a top-tier powerhouse.
It couldn’t be helped.
They might be veteran players over level ninety in Tier Four, some even having broken level one hundred. They were tough characters who had undergone Rebirth more than five times and were considered skilled fighters in both the Real World and the Lord World.
But faced with someone like Qin Feng—a super player who could single-handedly lead an entire Plane against an allied army from eight foreign Planes, and who could crush enemies capable of destroying worlds as easily as squashing ants—their so-called levels and number of Rebirths all became meaningless statistics.
The gulf in power was far beyond what could be summed up by the term "class disparity."
In the player community, the name Tingfeng itself meant "God of Gods." He was a legend at the very pinnacle of the pyramid, someone all others looked up to in awe.
