Starforce Warriors-Chapter 579: Absolute Control

This Grand Saint-level battle had been so abrupt and one-sided that it felt like a poorly staged performance. Li Xiaofei demonstrated a level of strength and terror that defied reason. For a moment, silence blanketed the heavens and earth.

Li Xiaofei glanced at Xie Yunlong and said calmly, "Twenty-one seconds left. The Xie family truly has courage to risk total annihilation by refusing to hand over Goddess Ye. Even I’m a little impressed by your resolve."

Xie Yunlong was on the verge of tears.

Damn it.

It wasn’t that they refused to hand her over; she wasn’t even in their possession anymore. She had been intercepted on the way.

"Senior..." muttered Xie Yunlong.

His bitterness was like swallowing raw gallbladder; it was unbearable. Their ancestor was dead. The Xie family’s greatest shield was gone and as the family patriarch, he couldn’t afford to show defiance now.

This was about the Xie family’s four hundred years of legacy in the northwest. So, he lowered his once-proud head. His posture slumped, resembling a dog with its spine broken.

"She’s truly not in our hands," Xie Yunlong explained, his voice trembling. "We did capture her, but shortly after sending her to Lanfu Base City, she was rescued."

"Do you take me for a three-year-old child?" Li Xiaofei’s voice was cold and unwavering. "Ten seconds left. Hand her over, or the Xie family will be wiped out down to the last chicken and dog."

Thud!

Xie Yunlong fell to his knees.

"Senior," he pleaded, his voice trembling with desperation and choked with sobs. "I swear upon the spirits of the Xie family ancestors, she was truly intercepted! We’ve been hunting for her ourselves, which is why we locked down the city and launched a massive search."

Li Xiaofei’s voice remained cold and unyielding. "Five seconds left."

"Ah..." Xie Yunlong broke down completely.

Never in his life had he imagined that the Xie family’s doom would descend in such a manner.

Ye Liuying! Where on earth did that woman go?

If only they had known, the Xie family would never have dared provoke Liuhe Base City. They would never have meddled with Ye Liuying.

"Senior, please, let me explain. She’s really not here..." pleaded Xie Yunlong as he knelt in mid-air, crawling forward and bowing repeatedly.

His actions resembled those of a devout zealot. He kowtowed frantically, his forehead colliding with the void as if in worship.

"She’s truly not with the Xie family... she’s not here, I swear..." His cries were heartbreaking.

The Xie family had once wielded the power to decide the fates of others. But now, they had been reduced to groveling in the dust.

"Time’s up," Li Xiaofei declared coldly. "You truly have courage. I admire that. But from this moment on, the Xie family of the northwest will no longer exist. Go to the underworld and repent to the innocent Great Xia citizens whose lives were lost for your ambitions."

A flash of sword light streaked through the air. Li Xiaofei showed no mercy as Xie Yunlong’s head fell.

In a single moment, the Xie family’s rulers, three generations of patriarchs, all became lifeless corpses. Just thirty minutes earlier, the Xie family had been at the height of their glory as they stood on the brink of founding their own nation. And now? All of it was gone.

In the restaurant below, Liu Xiao, Nan Tianxing, and the others stood abruptly, their faces alight with joy as they cheered without reservation.

Victory!

Li Xiaofei had performed a miracle. He had slain the Xie family’s Great Saint ancestor as if it were as simple as slaughtering a pig.

The group couldn’t help but reflect on the past. When this young man had been recruited from the slums to attend Red Flag High School, some had doubted whether Principal Chen Fei had made the right choice.

Who would have thought that in less than three years, this boy from the slums would rise to become a powerhouse capable of slaying a Great Saint? He had become an extraordinary figure so far beyond their reach that they could only look up to him in awe.

Liu Xiao was overwhelmed with excitement.

Li Xiaofei has become a Great Saint. Does this mean he can turn the tide and reverse the decline of Great Xia?

A smile flickered in Ye Liuying’s eyes. Finally, during this long, oppressive night, she saw a glimmer of hope. Yan Chiyu couldn’t help but glance at Ye Liuying again. The Goddess’s faint smile eased the tension in Yan Chiyu’s chest, and she, too, let out a quiet sigh of relief.

At that moment, a strange buzzing sound echoed from the sky. Everyone looked up. Above them, the massive spaceship was slowly ascending. Its six enormous main cannons were shifting, their barrels angling downward.

The Yiggs were retreating! But they were preparing to fire on Lanfu Base City. This was an unmistakable signal. They intended to destroy the city.

This was bad! The relief that had just settled over everyone was instantly replaced by alarm. Li Xiaofei sensed it as well. There was no way he would allow the Yiggs to succeed in their plan.

Unleashing all of his inner qi, he soared into the sky on his sword. In the blink of an eye, he was hovering over the massive spaceship. Earlier, when Andrew’s command pod had descended, it had also exposed the ship’s core command area. Li Xiaofei had no trouble identifying this critical location.

Boom!

It took only three punches. The hastily deployed energy shield around the ship shattered as Li Xiaofei landed just outside the ship’s command room.

He could clearly see the Yiggs captain and operators panicking through the massive transparent viewport. Li Xiaofei’s lips curled into a menacing grin. He raised his fist and struck.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three more punches struck. The massive viewport began to cave inward, before finally shattering completely. Li Xiaofei leaped inside.

"Oh God!"

"Is this man a demon?"

"Quick, kill him!"

The enormous command area was in chaos. Over fifty senior officers and operators scrambled around in panic. But a burly, sharp-featured man with short chestnut hair was unshaken as he barked orders in the Yiggs language.

"Stop him! Quick! Activate the Star Destroyer Cannon and obliterate Lanfu Base City. Even if we all die here, we must not leave the Great Xia people with a single intact city!"

Whoosh!

A flash of sword light pierced his forehead, silencing him forever. Li Xiaofei’s blade danced through the air, releasing fiery sword qi that annihilated the Yiggs crew members one by one.

Their bodies turned to ash, vanishing into the atmosphere. In mere breaths, the entire command area was empty. But the spaceship remained operational. The six colossal cannons mounted at the front, middle, and rear of the ship continued their slow rotations, adjusting their aim toward Lanfu Base City below.

"Barush," Li Xiaofei called out.

A portal to the Subspace appeared above his head.

The voice of Barush, No. 88 King of New Subspace, echoed from within. "Your noble, great, invincible, and handsome master, your humble, insignificant, ugly, and pitiful servant Barush hears your call."

"Ugh, this introduction is too long. Shorten it next time," Li Xiaofei critiqued before issuing his command. "Take control of all the Yiggs aboard this spaceship. I want full command of it."

"As you wish, my great master," Barush replied eagerly.

The will of hundreds of Subspace entities descended through the portal. They swiftly parasitized and took control of every Yiggs crew member aboard the spaceship. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Repair the damaged sections of the ship," Li Xiaofei ordered. "Then take it into the skies and use its technology to help me locate a woman named Ye Liuying."

"Yes, my great master," Barush responded with unwavering loyalty as he moved to carry out the command.

Li Xiaofei leaped out into the air above Lanfu Base City once again. Even with the spaceship's assistance, finding someone wouldn’t be an easy task. He would have to investigate the Xie family’s ancestral residence for clues. No time could be wasted.

Just as he was about to move, he felt something.

"Hmm?"

He abruptly looked down, his gaze sharp and focused.
