Starforce Warriors

Chapter 301: Top Master Of Phantom Blade Style

Four figures with Five Spirits Realm combat power had appeared in quick succession, shocking Li Xiaofei.

So many powerful individuals have been hiding in the Jiepeng base. These bastards were indeed up to no good.

According to international conventions, any warrior above the Five Spirits Realm must report to the host country after crossing into their territory. Otherwise, it would be regarded as an invasion. After all, the destructive power of someone in the Five Spirits Realm was terrifying. Conquering cities and territories wasn't out of the question. One Five Spirits Realm expert could be equivalent to an entire army.

The beast tide began to show signs of collapse under the counterattack of these four Five Spirits Realm experts. The threat of certain death caused even the violent and ignorant lower-grade star beasts to feel fear. They began to hesitate in their charges.

Whoosh!

Two of the Five Spirits Realm experts turned into brilliant streaks of light as they rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Li Xiaofei and Tan Zhenwei..

"Kill."

The two didn't waste words and immediately attacked. Li Xiaofei was just about to make a move, but Tan Zhenwei simply shook his head gently.

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly, the seductive laugh of the Yinji Moon Fox echoed as the air abruptly turned pink. The two Five Spirits Realm experts were immediately bewitched by this pink enchantment, and abandoned Tan Zhenwei and Li Xiaofei without hesitation. They shot toward the source of the fox demon's alluring voice.

Li Xiaofei was taken aback.

This fox demon actually appeared here? That Hu Yuer in the city... Could it be that I had misjudged her?

"Can she, a mere fox, really handle two Five Spirits Realm experts?" Li Xiaofei said, "Let me make a move instead."

Battle intent surged in his heart.

Tan Zhenwei calmly said, "No worries, A-Li's ability to escape is unmatched in the world. Even if she can't kill those two Jiepeng Five Spirits Realm experts, her life will never be in danger."

Li Xiaofei looked down at the base below. Tan Zhenwei, despite being at the Golden Body Realm, had not immediately launched an attack. Instead, he continued observing. That was when Li Xiaofei realized that this camp probably held more than just Five Spirits Realm experts.

There are stronger warriors present!

It suddenly became clear to him why Tan Zhenwei had created such a huge commotion. At that moment, Tan Zhenwei opened his palm. Two adorable, jade-like silkworms appeared in his hand, their plump bodies wriggling as they raised their heads to curiously glance in all directions.

A drop of crimson blood fell into his palm. The two Heaven's Mandate Silkworms quickly squirmed as they licked up the blood. Then, astonishingly, they stood upright and started to release nearly invisible threads of silk from their mouths.

The amount of silk the Heaven's Mandate Silkworms produced was staggering. Although each silk strand was countless times thinner than a human hair, it split into millions of strands as it fell from the sky.

It seemed as if the air was filled with endless drifting willow fluff in an instant. The silken threads descended and infiltrated the bodies of numerous star beasts. But they also slipped into the metallic base below.

In the next instant, the once fearful and hesitant beast horde suddenly went berserk, letting out violent roars and charging madly towards the metallic base, showing no fear of death. Inside the base, screams of agony erupted. The Jiepeng soldiers stationed on the city walls turned their weapons on their comrades, and mercilessly opened fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless Jiepeng warriors fell amidst the violent explosions. Li Xiaofei's scalp tingled as he watched.

What kind of technique is this? A high-level beastmaster is truly terrifying. Who could have imagined that two plump, seemingly harmless silkworms would possess such terrifying abilities?

"Tan Zhenwei, by opposing the empire, you will die with no place to be buried." A voice speaking the Jiepeng language echoed from the base below.

It was accompanied by a terrifying blade light that stretched a thousand meters long. It was like a river of stars hanging upside down, slicing through the void as it slashed toward them.

What a terrifying blade light.

Li Xiaofei couldn’t suppress the fear rising within him. This strike wasn’t about some profound technique. Nor was it an extraordinary mastery of the blade. It was simply raw strength. A strength so overwhelming that even Li Xiaofei could feel the breath of death. The body he had always prided himself on, his formidable physique, would likely be instantly torn apart by this strike. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Golden Body Realm! So, there was indeed a Golden Body Realm expert hidden within the Jiepeng base!

He saw Tan Zhenwei unhurriedly passing the two Heaven’s Mandate Silkworms to his left hand. He reached out with his right hand as if he was grasping something from the void. Then, suddenly, he clenched his fist.

A kilometer wide space in front of them collapsed abruptly. He had created a vacuum in an instant. Then Tan Zhenwei threw a punch.

Boom!

The fist collided with the blade light. Terrifying energy erupted and spread out in an instant. The air became chaotic, and even the light seemed to distort as everything within that space was reduced to dust and nothingness.

"Tamba no Kami Soumei![1]" Tan Zhenwei raised his voice, "So the greatest master of Jiepeng's Phantom Blade Style was stationed here. But it looks like Jiepeng will have one less Golden Body Realm expert after today."

"Tan Zhenwei, or no, I should address you as Mr. Tree Demon."

A figure no more than 1.5 meters tall soared out of the base and appeared fifty meters away.

It was Jiepeng's greatest master of the Phantom Blade Style! He was dressed in a kimono and was wearing wooden clogs. His head was bald, styled like a traditional warrior, and his complexion was unnaturally pale, as if it was covered in powder.

Although he stood only 1.5 meters tall, the pressure he exuded made him feel like a towering giant.

"Mr. Tree Demon, don't you think you're being too despicable?" Soumei said coldly, "You betrayed the Empire's trust and deceived us into handing over eleven S-class new weapons, technologies, and the surgery techniques for star beasts. You and your sect will pay the price for this."

A faint smirk of mockery appeared at the corner of Tan Zhenwei’s lips.

"Heh, the barking of the defeated." He scoffed, "Such words are meaningless."

Li Xiaofei had to admit that his future father-in-law's ability to taunt was truly at its peak.

Soumei was instantly enraged. Gritting his teeth, he sneered, "This battle isn’t over yet. The outcome remains uncertain. Once I kill you, all your plans in the Northwest will crumble, and the Empire will still achieve its great victory!"

"Is that so?" Tan Zhenwei replied calmly, "Unfortunately, you don't stand a chance."

Soumei took a deep breath, his aura swiftly collapsing inward. He seemed like a deadly statue with his hand resting on the hilt of his katana, radiating a deadly intent.

Then, he drew his blade.

The blade light streaked through the air like a brilliant ribbon, cutting through the sky. It was an even more powerful strike than before. It was like his swing could slice open the Milky Way.

Yet, Tan Zhenwei didn’t move. He stood in place, a cold smile on his face.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a dazzling sword aura descended from the heavens.

Boom!

The sword aura obliterated the blade light. Tamba no Kami Soumei's powerful, charged strike, his finest Golden Body Realm technique, was utterly crushed.

The remnants of the blade and sword energy exploded, like stars detonating in space. The scattering light seemed as though it would fragment space into irregular pieces.

A graceful silhouette figure descended through the air to land in the middle of the battlefield. She was incomparably beautiful, unmatched by anyone.

"Your opponent is me." A voice as cold as the high heavens and icy plains echoed across the battlefield.

Sword light surged like a tide as it swept toward Soumei. Li Xiaofei's mouth dropped open in utter shock. He had imagined countless possibilities, but he never thought this person would appear on the battlefield.

This makes no sense!
