Starforce Warriors-Chapter 660: White-Robed Immortal

It wasn’t just Ma Tuo who had appeared at the critical moment, but also a face Li Xiaofei had seen before. It was none other than Jiang Sansheng, the Deputy Tower Master of the Twin Shadow Tower.

The other two figures were unremarkable, and their builds were ordinary. They looked like any other common folk, yet the aura they exuded was incomparably powerful. Both of them were experts at the peak of the Planet level.

“Haha! Li Qingchen, you didn’t expect this, did you? I had already informed Master long ago,” said Nie Yuntao.

He quickly channeled his vital energy to stop his wounds from worsening. It was only after swallowing a healing pill that a trace of color finally returned to his face.

Nie Yuntao laughed loudly. “The moment I saw Huang Dinggou appear, I knew you had to be hiding in Shenyin Pavilion. So, I immediately sent word to Master. Heh, you fat pig! If you had gone to break out from the start, I might not have been able to stop you. But you just had to put on an act... Now, you’re a caged bird. There’s no escape, hahaha!”

This is bad.

The faces of Huang Dinggou and the Bai sisters darkened simultaneously. Both Ma Tuo and Jiang Sansheng were renowned experts. They were in a completely different league compared to the likes of Nie Yuntao and Han Zhen.

Even though Brother Chen is incredibly strong, there is no way he can fight all of them alone and survive.

The most dangerous situation had arrived.

“Why are you silent now?” asked Nie Yuntao. He seized the opportunity to taunt Li Xiaofei. “I told you, you’re trash. You’ll always be trash. So what if you’re strong? Your brain doesn’t work! In the end, I still toyed with you in the palm of my hand.”

“I hope you’ll still be able to laugh later,” replied a calm Li Xiaofei.

There wasn’t the slightest hint of panic on his face. He shook the battered spear in his hand. Its tip pointed straight at Ma Tuo.

“I have achieved mastery in my cultivation, and I just so happen to lack real combat experience. Today, I will use you four old dogs as my whetstone,” said Li Xiaofei as a surging battle intent spread from within his body.

His large, stout figure stood even straighter, like a pine tree bearing up the weight of heavy snow. A trace of surprise flickered in Ma Tuo’s eyes. This perverted oddball’s strength had indeed far surpassed his most exaggerated estimations.

But even so, Ma Tuo still did not believe that Li Xiaofei could escape from the four of them. Four overwhelming auras slowly unfurled, faintly intertwining as they encircled Li Xiaofei. A terrifying killing intent surged forth like raging waves, sealing off every possible escape route.

“Boy, I can give you one last chance.” Jiang Sansheng suddenly spoke. “Kneel and surrender. Swear your allegiance to the Twin Shadow Tower, and I will spare your life. I will also overlook the fact that you killed Han Zhen. You and your friends will walk away alive.”

“What do you mean by that, Tower Master Jiang?” asked Nie Yuntao.

His face changed the moment he heard those words. He had not expected Jiang Sansheng to try to recruit Li Qingchen at such a critical moment.

“Rare is the uncut jade of true talent.” Jiang Sansheng’s tone was calm. “A Planet level cultivator this young is worth bringing under our wing...”

“But—” Nie Yuntao attempted to voice his objection.

“Hmm?” Jiang Sansheng’s voice suddenly sank, and his gaze turned cold and menacing. He said, “Are you trying to teach me how to handle things?”

“I... I wouldn’t dare,” replied Nie Yuntao. His heart skipped a beat in fear. He quickly lowered his head and yielded, his face full of forced humility. He dared not speak further.

This exchange caused a subtle shadow to flash beneath Ma Tuo’s lenses. However, the success of his future plans still relied on cooperation with the Twin Shadow Tower. Their alliance was still in its honeymoon phase. It was not worth causing unnecessary friction over such a trivial matter. So, he chose to remain silent.

Jiang Sansheng was satisfied as he turned his gaze back on Li Xiaofei. “Well? Have you made up your mind? My patience is limited. This is your only path to survival. Don’t disappoint me.”

Li Xiaofei burst into a disdainful laugh.

“I was born a member of the Exploding Star Gang, and if I die, I’ll be a ghost of the Exploding Star Gang,” said Li Xiaofei with a voice of fervor and determination. “I, Li Qingchen, am a man who stands tall under the heavens. My word is my bond; and my promise is worth a thousand gold. I have been ready to give everything for the Exploding Star Gang ever since I joined it. You want to recruit me? Forget it. Kill that thought.”

Jiang Sansheng was momentarily taken aback by the surge of imposing aura.

Is there truly such a fearless warrior in this world?

But he did not know that Li Xiaofei had a plan. He planned to rise step by step within the gang circles, attract the attention of Eden, and ultimately infiltrate the enemy ranks. If he wanted to survive in the gang world, he needed to build a reputation. The reputation of the real Li Qingchen had already been ruined in Chongque City, so now he had to rebuild it. At the very least, he needed to establish the image of a loyal, fearless madman willing to die for his brothers. It was only with such a reputation that he could thrive. Today was the perfect opportunity to erect his banner and make a name for himself.

Jiang Sansheng summoned the last of his patience and said, “Life only comes once. The consequence of overconfidence is death. Young man, don’t be too hot-blooded.”

“No more nonsense. I will never betray the Exploding Star Gang,” replied Li Xiaofei, standing fearless. He raised his battered spear diagonally, the tip pointing skyward. “Let’s settle this with our fists. Come and die.”

“In that case... Make your move. End this quickly. We must avoid any complications.”

Jiang Sansheng finally abandoned the idea of recruiting Li Xiaofei. The other three instantly channeled their true qi in unison and launched their attacks together. They all gave their all, holding nothing back. Clearly, they intended to kill Li Xiaofei in the shortest time possible to prevent any leaks.

As long as Li Xiaofei was dead, everything that had happened at Jiuyang Tower would become ironclad. The final flaw in their plan would be erased completely. There would no longer be any need to worry about Wei Xiaotian, the Exploding Star Gang’s leader, discovering the truth. However, at that very moment—

Boom!

A figure dressed in snow-white robes suddenly appeared in Wanli Hall, as though he had emerged from thin air. He flickered as he slipped into the heart of the battlefield like a wisp of white smoke.

He struck with a casual wave of his palm. Though he acted later, his palm landed first. It breezed past Jiang Sansheng’s defenses as though they did not exist and pressed lightly against his chest.

The strike seemed as gentle as a breeze brushing against a willow. It was silent and soundless. Yet, Jiang Sansheng’s chest caved in with a sickening crack. This so-called Peak Planet level powerhouse spewed blood like a fountain as he was sent hurtling backward.

Almost simultaneously, the white-robed figure weaved through the chaotic battlefield like a fleeting shadow. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the middle-aged man standing on the western side.

This time, his palm turned into a blade. He slashed down with a wet squelch, like cutting a watermelon. The Peak Star Tier expert didn’t even have time to react as the palm cleaved him cleanly in half, splitting his body into two halves that fell to each side.

“Ah... The Seven Absolutes Hand?” The Peak Planet level expert on the northern side cried out in shock and horror, having recognized the attacker’s identity.

He turned and fled without hesitation, but the white-robed man was faster. He drifted like smoke and shot forward like a meteor. He only needed a single step to appear miraculously in front of the fleeing expert, cutting off his escape.

The scene was eerie. It looked as though the fleeing Peak Planet level powerhouse had voluntarily run into the white-robed man.

Slap.

The white-robed man flattened his target’s head into his chest cavity with an effortless palm strike. The headless corpse knelt on the ground with a muffled thud.

In the span of mere breaths, two of the four mighty experts besieging Li Xiaofei had died, and one was gravely injured.

The only one to escape unscathed was Ma Tuo. Yet, at that moment, he looked as though he had witnessed the most terrifying sight in the world. His face twisted in horror as he trembled uncontrollably. His legs shook as though they could give out at any moment.

A strange, fragrant aroma spread through the air. The bodies of the two fallen Peak Star Tier experts began to change. Before everyone’s eyes, their corpses transformed into delicate white petals, drifting through the air like a gentle snowfall.

It was only then that Li Xiaofei noticed something truly shocking. Wanli Hall, which should have been drenched in blood and littered with severed limbs, showed no trace of gore. There was no blood or broken flesh.

Everything, including the blood and the mangled body parts had turned into those white, fragrant petals, gently scattering across the ground and floating in the air.

The white-robed man came to a sudden stop amid the intoxicating scent of the petals. He stood quietly with his hands clasped behind his back. His long, flowing white robes fluttered lightly against the sea of petals. In that moment, he no longer seemed like a man of this world. There was an elegance to him, carefree, dashing, and otherworldly.

Is he an immortal? Who is he?
