Starforce Warriors-Chapter 584: Unleashing Carnage

"Master, Senior Brother Guo Zong'ao... he..." Tears streamed down Su Qianni's face.

Zhou Yidao added, "Brother Dao... sacrificed himself as well. Three months ago, a massive wave of star beasts breached the B48 section of the western city wall. When it became clear that tens of thousands of ordinary people in the area were in grave danger, Brother Dao led his three hundred and sixty disciples from the livestream to form a suicide squad. They filled the gap and bought the army twenty crucial minutes to fortify the defenses. But..."

Brother Dao and his followers never returned. The three hundred and sixty disciples who went with him also perished, leaving no trace of their remains. Although they had cultivated the various divine techniques Li Xiaofei had passed down, their strength had not yet reached its peak. Moreover, the star beasts were vast and endless; some of them were even as powerful as Grade Six, Seven, or even Eight creatures of extraordinary might.

None of them survived. It was said that the authorities had not even managed to recover their bodies.

"Before charging into the fray, Brother Dao shouted, 'In this life, I was fortunate to join Grandmaster of Heaven. In the next, I will still be a disciple of the Grandmaster of Heaven!'" Su Qianni wiped her tears as she spoke.

Years of brutal battles had forged nerves and wills as resilient as steel. They had bled and sweat during the most challenging days of the past, but they had never cried. Yet today, both of them found it hard to hold back their emotions in front of their master.

Li Xiaofei listened, his heart filled with shock and sorrow. Brother Dao had been anything but a good man. If he hadn’t been defeated and subdued, he likely would never have joined the Grandmaster of Heaven livestream sect. Now, he had sacrificed himself so heroically.

"What about the others?" Li Xiaofei hurriedly asked.

He quickly learned that the others were, fortunately, still alive and had not perished in battle. The Bald Man's team of six had suffered heavy losses, with four members gone. Now, only the Bald Man himself and the blond man continued to fight on the front lines.

Li Xiaofei started to understand the situation more from their accounts. For instance, three of the seven Grand Commanders of Great Xia were currently holding the line in Xiajing City. The Great Xia military had grown to over five million soldiers as countless people enlisted to join the resistance.

The ancient martial families, known for their long-standing legacies, such as the Chen, Li, Sun, Tan, Zhang, and Ren clans, had risen to prominence during the fight against the foreign invaders as they became the backbone of the resistance.

The Grandmaster of Heaven lineage had performed exceptionally well in the war. Not only had many of its practitioners learned life-saving martial techniques that significantly enhanced their combat prowess, but even ordinary individuals with no prior training had benefited from the Grandmaster of Heaven's accessible martial arts. Techniques that were easy to learn, combined with prescriptions for improving physical strength and internal energy, had elevated many civilians to combat readiness within a short period.

The effectiveness of the Grandmaster of Heaven martial arts was undeniable. Once its strength was proven, the upper echelons of Great Xia prioritized its widespread adoption, promoting it vigorously among the populace.

Xiajing City was no longer the same as before. Many families who had betrayed their people had been purged. The combined strength of the government and the citizenry had united into an indomitable force. The promotion of the Grandmaster of Heaven martial arts had been remarkably successful. As such, Li Xiaofei, the Patriarch of the Grandmaster of Heaven Sect, had become a revered idol of countless individuals.

It could be said that Xiajing City's ability to hold back the invaders with only cold weaponry was greatly due to the ancient martial techniques he had passed down. Li Xiaofei had never imagined that what began as an experimental endeavor would inadvertently alter the fate of Great Xia.

But as they spoke, things took a sudden turn. A thunderous roar reverberated from beyond the city walls. The piercing sound wave rolled through the air, causing the atmosphere within a radius of thousands of miles to churn like turbulent ocean waves.

Cries of alarm filled the air as a massive sea beast that towered a hundred meters high, began to rise from the ground outside the city. Its mutated dorsal fins trembled as it shook itself free and lunged forward. It half-flew as it started to clamber up the city walls.

A Grade Eight Beast King! The indigo-colored sea beast, with its single eye resembling a blood-red sun suspended in the stormy sky, dyed the air around half the city wall in a crimson hue with its terrifying aura of savagery and destruction.

It opened its maw and lunged toward Li Xiaofei; its jaws were like an abyss of blood, reeking of decay and death.

"Master, look out!" Su Qianni and Zhou Yidao cried out in shock.

Without even turning around, Li Xiaofei casually swung his fist backward.

Boom!

The Grade Eight Beast King’s head exploded like a watermelon struck by a sledgehammer, as it was obliterated in an instant.

Boom!

The massive, lifeless body of the sea beast collapsed backward, crashing heavily to the ground. The impact crushed an untold number of low-grade star beasts beneath it, sending plumes of dust soaring into the sky. It was as if an earthquake had struck.

A Grade Eight Beast King, obliterated in an instant!

Su Qianni and Zhou Yidao gaped in astonishment. Yet, a moment later, a sense of inevitability settled over them. After all, this was their master. But this time, the assault wasn’t limited to a single sea beast.

More star beasts were racing toward the walls, from Deep Sea Water Apes and Crimson-Bearded Giant Whales to Imperial Swordfish, and other Beast King level sea beasts. It was clear that this section of the walls had been marked as the breakthrough point.

Thousands of modified Yiggs and Europe bombers hovered in formation behind the dozen Grade Eight Beast Kings. Their sleek bodies glinted ominously as they readied tactical missiles. Further in the distance, the sky was filled with countless Star Armors, power armors, and power mechs. These battle machines were poised to invade the city the instant the wall defenses failed or the energy shields were breached. The situation grew dire in an instant.

"Focus on recovering from your injuries," Li Xiaofei said, patting Su Qianni on the shoulder.

He turned and rose into the air until he hovered above the battlefield. He gazed down at the tide of beasts surging beyond the city walls from his vantage point. The sounds of relentless battle and fierce clashes filled his ears. The people of Great Xia would never surrender. Li Xiaofei's eyes burned with a murderous intent that overflowed like a surging tide.

Whoosh!

He transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the Grade Eight Beast Kings.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening sounds of flesh and bone shattering echoed endlessly. One after another, the monstrous Beast Kings, creatures that had long been a bane to Great Xia's strongest warriors, exploded into pieces. Their massive bodies were obliterated, turning into torrents of blood that rained down and scattered fragments of white bone across the battlefield. frёewebηovel.cѳm

These towering behemoths fell without even the chance to scream, their blood staining the earth in massive pools.

"Those who dare to invade Great Xia—no mercy shall be shown!" shouted Li Xiaofei as he soared higher into the sky, his power surging.

Silvery ice energy and golden flames intertwined around him, radiating a fearsome aura. In his hands, he gripped his rusted sword and Tiger's Deficiency Blade.

He hovered in the air for a moment before turning into a blinding sphere of silver and gold fire that hurtled into the distant cluster of bombers and war machines.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Automatic fire engaged."

"Target speed too fast—unable to lock on."

"Initiating saturation fire."

The light core systems of the warplanes instantly calculated and launched a counterattack. Countless energy projectiles tore through the void, forming a rain of annihilating light. The sky was flooded with indiscriminate artillery fire aimed directly at Li Xiaofei.

Yet, Li Xiaofei's figure darted through the storm of light with impossible agility. Wherever he passed, the state-of-the-art warplanes ignited like fireworks, erupting in dazzling explosions. They transformed into blooming fireballs one by one as they fell in brilliant bursts of destruction.

The sky lit up in splendor, resembling an extraordinary and devastating fireworks display. But an unyielding intent to kill burned within Li Xiaofei’s heart. He tore through the formation of warplanes, annihilating everything in his way.

In mere breaths, the entire fleet of bombers and advanced aircraft had been obliterated.

This astonishing sight left countless people on both sides of the city wall frozen in awe, their gazes fixed on the fiery spectacle in the sky.
