Starforce Warriors-Chapter 656: Unstoppable

“Trying to leave?” Nie Yuntao had long found Li Xiaofei an eyesore.

If not for this unexpected variable today, the rebellion would have been flawless. Now, Han Zhen of the Demon-Breaking Hand was dead. That would be difficult to explain when the time came to report to Twin Shadow Tower. Some benefits would inevitably be lost. So, under no circumstances could he let Li Xiaofei leave alive.

Nie Yuntao wielded twin swords as he blocked Li Xiaofei’s path.

“Die.”

Sword light flickered as the air started to chill. Nie Yuntao had evidently comprehended the Law of Ice. Shards of ice shot through the air as his blades gleamed.

A layer of frost spread across the ground, biting at the flesh of those nearby. Opponents would find their speed and reflexes slowing without even realizing it.

“Idiot, get lost,” shouted Li Xiaofei, holding his spear in one hand. He unleashed the Triple Overlapping Strike without hesitation.

Ding.

Bang.

Puff.

Three distinct sounds. The first strike knocked Nie Yuntao’s sword aside. The second shattered his defensive stance. The third pierced directly through his heart.

“How could this be?” exclaimed Nie Yuntao.

His face was filled with shock, and his eyes were full of disbelief. He had personally witnessed Li Xiaofei kill Han Zhen of the Demon-Breaking Hand earlier. That was why he had not held back in the slightest against him. Yet Li Xiaofei, with one hand holding a person and the other wielding his spear, had still managed to strike him down in just three moves?

He did not know that Li Xiaofei had fused with the Law of Strength that Han Zhen had cultivated painstakingly for a hundred years. His raw strength had more than doubled, so that spear strike carried the power of three centuries of cultivation. How could he possibly block it?

Puff.

Li Xiaofei’s arm trembled slightly as he sent Nie Yuntao’s body flying. His spear danced like a dragon as he hefted Huang Dinggou and charged toward the exit at full speed.

“Stop him!”

In the distance, Ma Tuo and Jiang Sansheng shouted almost simultaneously.

Tonight’s plan had been meticulously crafted. They had wanted to use the Council Representative Assembly as cover to eliminate the loyal mid-level elites under Gang Leader Wei Xiaotian, and then frame Right Protector Liu Junqing. This would pave the way for Ma Tuo and his disciple to rise to power. If Li Qingchen managed to escape, wouldn’t all their efforts be for nothing?

Dozens of experts immediately pursued Li Xiaofei. At the same time, blades flashed at the exit as four Planet level experts blocked his path.

Li Xiaofei was not surprised. The enemy had planned this for a long time, so there was no way the exit wouldn’t be heavily guarded. His spear danced fiercely, unleashing a terrifying force. It crashed forward like a collapsing divine mountain. The four Planet level experts were instantly sent flying, spitting blood as their bodies shattered.

Just as Li Xiaofei was about to charge through the exit.

Whoosh!

A cold flash of light shot toward his face. Li Xiaofei’s heart tensed as he lifted his spear to deflect it.

Ding.

It was a needle. A figure flickered in the shadows near the exit.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A barrage of flying needles came raining down like a storm of pear blossoms. Li Xiaofei forcibly resisted the urge to use Huang Dinggou as a human shield. Instead, he spun his spear. Spear light surged, and spear wind swept like a tide. He barely managed to deflect the wave of needles. However, the hidden weapon expert in the shadows continued attacking.

Starlike projectiles rained down like a meteor shower. Li Xiaofei charged into the narrow corridor leading to the exit, but the cramped space restricted his spear movements. The opponent’s hidden weapons completely sealed off all room to maneuver, so Li Xiaofei had no choice but to retreat.

“Brother Chen, don’t worry about me! Just go!” Huang Dinggou’s eyes darted around rapidly as he shouted.

He was experienced enough to know that at moments like this, begging for his life was the worst choice. Instead, he had to put on an act of selflessness, showing that he cared for Li Xiaofei’s safety. That way, Li Xiaofei would surely refuse to abandon him and would fight to the death to get them both out.

However, Li Xiaofei immediately tossed him aside. Huang Dinggou was speechless as his soul nearly left his body. Before he could scream for help, he saw Li Xiaofei snap his spear with a crack. Gripping half of the spear in each hand, Li Xiaofei turned and charged back into the narrow corridor.

To Huang Dinggou, the three to four seconds felt as long as three or four eras. His mind went blank, and his heart turned to ashes. But soon, he saw Li Xiaofei return. He had four or five throwing knives and hidden weapons embedded in his body.

But he had managed to kill the hidden weapon expert guarding the exit. Li Xiaofei grabbed Huang Dinggou.

Huang Dinggou was so overjoyed that he nearly burst into tears. “I knew it! I knew it! You would never leave me behind... wah...”

Li Xiaofei couldn’t be bothered with him. Instead, he turned around and shouted, “Hall Master Luo, Hall Master Jin, the enemies at the exit have been cleared. Hurry and join me! We’ll fight our way out together!”

As he spoke, he kicked the ground.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Several broken blades on the floor shot into the battlefield like streaks of light. A few Twin Shadow Tower experts who were besieging the two Hall Masters were caught off guard by the broken blades. They groaned and staggered back. The two Hall Masters were overjoyed at how fierce and valiant Li Xiaofei was.

They were covered in wounds. Mustering their last bit of strength, they charged toward the exit. The Jiuyang Tower was built with extravagant materials and reinforced by formations. It was practically constructed by pouring celestial jade into it. Even Planet level experts couldn’t break through the walls and could only leave through the exit.

But how could Jiang Sansheng and Ma Tuo let the two Hall Masters escape? Their attacks grew even more frenzied. The others swarmed forward, firmly blocking the two Hall Masters.

Li Xiaofei saw this and realized that his hope of taking both leaders with him was too naive. Though he was skilled and daring, this was still the Outer World. Ma Tuo and Jiang Sansheng’s strength was not to be underestimated.

If he were to be truly surrounded by them, or if they summoned even stronger experts, there would be no escape tonight.

Gritting his teeth, he steeled his heart and fled swiftly with Huang Dinggou. But suddenly, the sound of rushing wind came from behind him. Li Xiaofei reversed his grip on the half-spear in his hand and blocked. He had no idea what he had just parried.

Boom!

A terrifying force swept over his body. Li Xiaofei felt his arm go numb, and the broken spear flew out of his hand. He spat out a mouthful of blood and quickened his pace. The hidden weapons lodged in his muscles released a tingling, numbing sensation. It was poison!

Thanks to his aunt’s medicinal baths and massages, which had tempered his body repeatedly, Li Xiaofei had developed an extremely high resistance to poison. He had practically become immune to all toxins on Earth.

But this was the Outer World. Li Xiaofei had no idea what level the poison masters of this world had reached. If they had concocted some strange poison capable of bypassing his resistance, wouldn’t he be finished?

Grabbing Huang Dinggou, he dashed into a nearby room.

“Don’t let them get away!” His pursuers rushed forward, shouting.

Jiang Sansheng, holding Luo Fawei’s severed head, entered the room and glanced around, slightly stunned. Everything in the room was intact. Even the windows showed no signs of damage. Yet Li Xiaofei and Huang Dinggou had seemingly vanished into thin air.

What is going on?

Where are they?

A blood-covered Nie Yuntao stormed in with a twisted expression.

“Damn it, that bastard got away!” He gritted his teeth in rage. After pausing for a moment, his eyes turned vicious as he said, “Even if he escaped, I can still make his life a living hell. Spread the word—say that Li Qingchen betrayed the gang and murdered the Right Protector and Hall Master Luo... Heh, I’ll make sure he has no place to sleep in Chongque City.”
