Starforce Warriors-Chapter 462: Like A Celestial Being

Nathan Thomas was a madman. To him, human lives were like wild grass—easily uprooted without hesitation. This was especially true of the lives of the people from Great Xia. Mr. Ruler, Chi Chunshui, had no choice but to intervene.

“Go,” he commanded.

A ruler shot out from his hand like a streak of flowing light. The ruler seemed like a divine weapon, surpassing everything with unmatched speed. It struck and shattered eight annihilation bombs before they could detonate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blinding and searing energy exploded in an instant as eight spheres of blazing light formed in the sky. It was like eight miniature suns had appeared at once.

“Measure the heavens!” Mr. Ruler’s voice rang out again.

In a flash, he moved to appear in front of the ruler. He reached out and grasped it. The ruler was now firmly in his hand. When he infused the weapon with inner qi, the unassuming ruler transformed into a massive silver-white energy ruler before the terrifying blast waves of the annihilation bombs could fully spread.

The colossal ruler stretched across the sky. It was like a towering shield, blocking the heavens. And it shielded the battlefield below! The nearly ten thousand Great Xia warriors engaged in the chaotic battle beneath were protected.

“Hahaha, die! Die!” Nathan Thomas laughed maniacally, his expression twisted with madness.

The muscles on his back suddenly split apart like mechanical components, revealing eight spider-like mechanical arms. Each metallic arm was equipped with gatling power guns. The gun barrels whirred as they rotated.

Ratatat!

Powerful energy bullets, capable of instantly obliterating a Five Spirits Realm master, poured down. The bullets formed a distorted line of light in the air as Nathan Thomas moved at high speed, aiming to annihilate Chi Chunshui.

This was all part of his plan. From the very beginning, Nathan Thomas’s true target had been none other than Mr. Ruler, the renowned protector of the civilian district.

The massacre of ordinary warriors was merely a diversion—a ploy to pin down Mr. Ruler, exhaust his inner qi, and create the perfect moment to unleash an overwhelming barrage of firepower.

In battles between the powerful, victory often hinged on the smallest advantage. Mr. Ruler had taken the full brunt of the annihilation bomb explosions to protect the Great Xia warriors below, leaving Nathan Thomas with all the momentum in their battle.

Faced with this frenzied onslaught of bullets, Mr. Ruler had no choice but to defend. A thick book materialized like a massive shield before him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The energy bullets exploded continuously as they struck the massive book shield.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Elizabeth acted without hesitation. She followed the path of elemental abilities, having implanted the Inscribed Treasure Bone of a star beast attuned to elemental forces into her body.

In her hand, she wielded a staff crafted from the horn of a lightning unicorn. The moment she swung the white staff, a terrifying sea of lightning spread from her body. A sharp jab of her staff and bolts of blinding silver lightning snaked toward Li Buyi.

Li Buyi gently waved the bamboo banner in his hand. Using the banner as a pen, he quickly inscribed formation lines in the air. As the lines formed, they unleashed a strange and profound power. A Tai Chi diagram, shaped like the yin-yang fish, emerged and absorbed all the incoming lightning.

The three powerful figures had engaged in fierce combat. In the skies above, the battlefield erupted with terrifying waves of energy. In an instant, the entirety of the slums was shaken.

Across the dried riverbed, many hidden experts in the foreign consulate in the Wanmao District, and even in distant parts of Haijing City sensed the overwhelming energy fluctuations and instinctively turned their attention to the scene.

At the eye of the storm, on the apartment balcony, Li Xiaofei had already stepped out, leaning on the railing as he watched the battle unfold. Nan Hua stood behind him.

To be honest, Li Xiaofei had never imagined that so many warriors from Great Xia would gather here, all with the singular purpose of protecting him.

Chi Chunshui, Li Buyi, Long Zhengfei! Nan Hua had introduced all three to him and he had come to understand their remarkable deeds.

"The Great Xia spirit remains unbroken to this day, all because of people like them," Li Xiaofei couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.

His thoughts drifted to Huang Fulai. For centuries, regardless of the challenges they faced, be it in the courts of power or amidst the wilderness, heroes had always risen.

They defied the odds, often at the cost of their own lives, burning themselves entirely to rescue the nation from peril in critical moments. These heroes were not just one or a few individuals. They were a multitude, just like now.

In the chaos of Haijing City, where foreign invaders ran rampant and unchecked, even the slum dwellers, those struggling to survive like ants, had risen together. Their act of standing up in this moment made them heroes.

Of course, Li Xiaofei wasn’t saying this just because they were risking their lives to save him. He understood the true reason behind their fearless sacrifice. It wasn’t because he was handsome or famous. It was because he had killed Yokoyama Chizang, San Ten, and the other Jiepeng ronin.

If anyone else had done the same, Long Zhengfei and others would have still offered their protection. How did the saying go? The people have long suffered under the tyranny of Qin. The Great Xia warriors in the slums had long endured the oppression of the Jiepeng ronin. So when Li Xiaofei killed a few Jiepeng masters, he was instantly hailed as a hero, gaining their unwavering and selfless support.

The will of the people could be harnessed. The spirit of Great Xia was not extinguished. Li Xiaofei felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Nan Hua, standing behind him, quietly suggested, "Special Envoy, we must not let Senior Long and the others’ efforts go to waste. Perhaps we should take advantage of this chaos to retreat and then plan our next move?"

Li Xiaofei shook his head.

"What if I killed them all?" Li Xiaofei pointed at the battling figures of Tsukiha Meiryū, Nathan Thomas, and Elizabeth as he posed the question.

Nan Hua was momentarily speechless.

Kill these powerful figures? Is it really that simple?

Long Zhengfei and the other two seniors were already pushing themselves to the limit to hold off Tsukiha Meiryū and the others. Dragging the fight out further would only draw more foreign experts to the scene.

The situation would spiral out of control. Even if they managed to kill these three, what about the trouble that would come afterward? Elizabeth would bring the most trouble, since she belonged to the Inquisition. Killing her would be tantamount to declaring war on the Inquisition, a catastrophe as destructive as the sky falling.

Nan Hua suppressed her rising frustration and tried to formulate a reasonable argument. But before she could speak, Li Xiaofei suddenly broke into a grin, as though he had reached a decisive epiphany.

"It's settled, then."

He shot forward like a streak of light. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Nathan Thomas. His speed was almost otherworldly.

By the time his palm pressed against Thomas’s chest, the latter had only just realized what was happening. But it was already too late to evade. The icy energy of the Dual Saint Body of Blade and Sword surged into Thomas's body in an instant.

The frost aura spread rapidly, instantly sealing and silencing the gatling guns. Nathan Thomas's massive and muscular body was frozen along with them.

The moment the cold seeped into his body, Nathan Thomas realized the danger he was. Without hesitation, he activated all the energy within him, using the power of his Inscribed Treasure Bone to ignite every mechanical component in his body, especially the two energy reactors in his abdomen and chest.

The machinery inside him operated at maximum capacity as they strained to break free from the ice. But Li Xiaofei did not strike again. Instead, his figure flickered, cutting into another battlefield.

In the next instant, he appeared at the center of the battle between Elizabeth and Li Buyi like a moth diving into a flame, plunging directly into the increasingly violent and chaotic lightning storm.

Both combatants were stunned as Li Xiaofei took a deep breath and extended both hands.

Star Shifting Reversal Technique.

What happened next left Elizabeth utterly horrified. The countless bolts of lightning, which had been raging uncontrollably, were forcibly drawn into Li Xiaofei's body. He then accelerated the energy's flow before thrusting it outward with both palms.

The amplified lightning storm surged from his hands, engulfing Elizabeth, who threw up her staff in a desperate attempt to defend herself.

In the next moment, Li Xiaofei’s figure flashed again, now appearing before Tsukiha Meiryū. The Jiepeng swordsman had already witnessed everything that had transpired.

"Ultimate Moon Slash!" Realizing the dire situation, Tsukiha Meiryū roared in fury and alarm. His famed weapon, the Moon Splitting Blade, carved an intricate arc in the air, unleashing a crescent-shaped wave of blade energy that drew everything toward it with immense suction.

Li Xiaofei used the Star Shifting Reversal Technique again to return the attack in kind. He absorbed the blade energy, enhanced it, and redirected it back. The overwhelming light of the blade energy instantly enveloped and swallowed Tsukiha Meiryū.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone regained their senses, the battle was already over.

Li Xiaofei had returned to the apartment balcony like a fleeting shadow, as though he had never moved at all. His expression was calm as he clasped his hands behind his back. He stood there like a celestial being descended to the mortal world, serene and otherworldly.
