Starforce Warriors

Chapter 196: Such Arrogance

Li Xiaofei beckoned with his hand and said, "Come on, I'll teach you a lesson."

He had no respect for the so-called Ye family heir.

"Heh, ignorant fool," Ye Liushuang sneered as he slowly walked out of the waiting area and leisurely stepped into the arena. "I'm interested in your techniques. Hand them over, and I might spare your life and give you a chance to survive as a dog for the Ye family."

The reason Ye Liushuang hadn’t intervened earlier was because he was using those expendable fighters to test Li Xiaofei’s capabilities. The ancient martial techniques Li Xiaofei had displayed earlier had caught Ye Liushuang's attention.

Martial techniques, finger strikes, sword energy. Not only were they visually impressive, but they were also incredibly powerful. Moreover, Ye Liushuang could tell that these techniques had even greater potential. The higher one’s cultivation of starforce qi, the more devastating these techniques would become. His greed was instantly piqued.

Ye Liushuang had taken a temporary leave from his university to return to Liuhe Base City and undergo an expensive New Martial Arts surgery. Participating in the gang conflict was just a side task for him. He did not expect anyone in the gang world of Liuhe Base City to be capable of challenging him.

"You're really just a dog who can't change its nature," Li Xiaofei mocked. "Are you always trying to seize what belongs to others just because you carry the Ye name?"

"Haha, exactly," Ye Liushuang laughed arrogantly. "Just because my surname is Ye, the Ye family is the sky in Liuhe Base City. You so-called gang members should consider it an honor to serve as dogs for the Ye family. Don’t be ungrateful."

His words caused an uproar in the crowd. Many of the gang leaders felt a mix of anger, frustration, and helplessness. It was true that Guan Shanyue and the others had died at Li Xiaofei’s hands today. But the knife that had killed them had been the Ye family.

Now when they heard Ye Liushuang speak so arrogantly in front of them, it felt like a double insult. It not only ended their lives but also shattered their pride. But they didn’t dare to show their anger, nor could they oppose him. If the Ye family were to extend an olive branch, they wouldn’t dare refuse.

But Li Xiaofei simply responded by raising his middle finger. He gestured and Guan Shanyue's famous sword, Flying Dragon, flew into his hand from where it had fallen.

"Come here and meet your death," Li Xiaofei said coldly.

"Ungrateful cur," Ye Liushuang’s expression turned icy as he responded, "I now officially declare, after this battle, you and your pathetic gang will be erased from Liuhe Base City."

In an instant, his starforce qi erupted. A soft purple glow surrounded him like an infinite universe. Twenty acupoints, glowing like stars in the boundless cosmos, orbited around him, resonating with the very laws of the universe and exuding an overwhelming pressure.

"One move is all I need to kill you," said Ye Liushuang as he raised his arms slightly, clenched his fists, and drew them back as if pulling the string of a bow.

Then, he launched both fists forward with a sudden, powerful motion, shouting, "Frost on the mountains, fallen leaves... Frost Destruction Fist!"

A chilling cold filled the air. The pale purple fist aura blasted outward with an incredible force. The fist imprint carried an unmatched frost that seemed like it could freeze the very void.

The Frost Destruction Fist was a derivation from the legendary Twenty-Four Sword Qi Manual, the treasured martial art of Beixia University. It was said to have been passed down from the mysterious wandering swordsman Ding Hao centuries ago. Ye Liushuang’s technique simulated the eighteenth technique, Frost’s Descent.

When his fists surged forward, it was as if a deadly frost had descended from the heavens. This was Ye Liushuang’s proudest creation. Li Xiaofei could feel the terrifying power hidden within the martial technique. Indeed, the Ye family’s scion was formidable.

But... it wasn't enough. Li Xiaofei unleashed the full power of his starforce qi within him. The eighty vortices of starforce qi in his dantian spun wildly, and the sound of a golden dragon's roar rang out across the terrace.

The overwhelming force of his Qi Refining Realm erupted like a vast ocean in a storm. Li Xiaofei channelled his starforce qi through all his fingers and executed the Six Meridian Divine Sword technique.

The energy surged along the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, culminating in a burst from his right thumb. In an instant, a colossal surge of sword energy exploded forth. It was the Shaoshang Sword!

The sword energy tore through the sky with an earth-shattering sound. The pale golden sword energy instantly sliced through the frost-chilled void created by Ye Liushuang’s strike.

"What!?" Ye Liushuang was horrified.

In that instant, he felt the shadow of death descending upon him. But it was too late.

Swish!

The sword light, as swift as lightning, flashed before his eyes.

Boom!

The titanium columns of the arena cage were sliced cleanly through by the sword energy.

Swish!

The sword energy shot into the void, leaving a pale golden scar in the air. It was as if the very sky had been torn open, the wound lingering for what seemed like an eternity.

The people around the arena scrambled in panic as they dodged the falling steel pillars.

Meanwhile, in the VIP section, Ye Changlin suddenly shot to his feet in alarm. His composed face was now stricken with fear. He shot towards the arena like a bolt of lightning, his starforce qi erupting like a tidal wave. The surge of energy blasted away the swirling dust and the remnants of shattered metal, clearing the scene in a flash.

"Little Shuang!" shouted Ye Changlin as he caught Ye Liushuang's lifeless body, immediately letting out a piercing cry of anguish.

Ye Liushuang was dead. The Little Martial God had fallen on the arena. The Shaoshang Sword had pierced straight through his heart. In that instant, it had also shredded every ounce of life within him. His face was still frozen in a mask of terror. But it was all too late to undo.

"Ahhhhh!"

Ye Changlin roared towards the heavens as his eyes turned blood-red. He was filled with a murderous rage as he glared at Li Xiaofei.

"You dared to kill someone from the Ye family?"

His eyes gleamed with malice.

Li Xiaofei responded calmly, "He signed the life-and-death pact. Life and death are determined by fate."

"Fate? That's a rule for the likes of you, not for us," Ye Changlin sneered as he carefully laid Ye Liushuang's body on the ground. He furiously started to stride toward Li Xiaofei. "You wretched brat, no matter what, today you will join Little Shuang in death."

As an elder of a martial family, Ye Changlin's cultivation was terrifying. He had long reached the Meridian Expanding Realm. He had opened eight meridians in his body, three of which were fully activated. He was an unstoppable force in this setting.

Li Xiaofei frowned and said, "The electronic life-and-death pact is protected by the light core and the law... Are you really going to break the contract in front of everyone?"

"The Ye family is the law," Ye Changlin retorted with a cold smile, his killing intent overflowing. "Who dares oppose us?"

Everyone present, including Ning Wuwo, the chairman of the Gang Alliance, bowed their heads in silence, not daring to speak.

"Die." Ye Changlin struck instantly.

He unleashed a powerful palm strike. His starforce qi condensed into a massive purple spectral hand, slamming down on Li Xiaofei with immense force. The sheer power threatened to collapse the entire building. This was pure, overwhelming force, far beyond Li Xiaofei's level.

But Li Xiaofei's figure blurred as he employed the Graceful Step of the Waves technique, transforming into a streak of light and shadow that evaded the deadly strike in an instant.

Boom!

The massive spectral hand smashed into the platform and tearing it into two. It was like it had been struck by a missile. The power of the Meridian Expanding Realm was truly terrifying.

"You still dare to dodge?!" Ye Changlin roared, "You little wretch, I’ll wipe you and all your friends and family out. I will see to it that none of you remain... Die!"

He unleashed another palm strike. This time, the force of his palm was distributed into countless palm phantoms that formed a massive net. It not only locked onto Li Xiaofei but also sealed off a 30-meter radius around him, covering the entire area indiscriminately. He showed no concern for the lives of those around the arena.

Li Xiaofei's expression shifted slightly. Even the Graceful Step of the Waves couldn't allow him to escape an attack that surpassed his level by two whole realms. He had no choice but to face it head-on.

The sound of a dragon’s roar echoed across the terrace as Li Xiaofei began to channel his starforce qi, preparing to unleash the Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms...

But at that moment...

"Ye family, such arrogance."

A calm voice suddenly resonated from the distant void. When the voice rang out, Ye Changlin's countless palm phantoms dissipated like snow in boiling water. A single word calmed the storm.

Who possesses such power?

Everyone instantly turned in the direction of the voice.
