[Yi Xing's Death]

The seaside.

Ye Yun finished watching the League of Heroes: Descent of the Heavens episode at the seaside, spotted the abandoned Missile Destroyer stranded on the sand, closed the video, twisted his neck, and slowly walked toward the distant derelict warship.

This guy who kept disturbing his peace every few days—Ye Yun didn't have much goodwill for him.

His footsteps crunched on the sand, shasha shasha.

"What are you here for?"

A cold, emotionless voice rang out. Ye Yun looked up and saw an Intelligent Being standing silently on the deck—massive, at least three meters tall, with red hair whipping in the wind, wielding a Death God Scythe, a black cape draped over its frame, and crimson electronic eyes flickering with red light.

"You've been bothering me for so long, so I came to chat with you—courtesy for courtesy."

Ye Yun tilted his head up to look at Yi Xing and spoke.

"Courtesy for courtesy?"

Yi Xing was the larger version of Jie Xing. He stared quietly at Professor Hu Ming's son and said, "If you were in the castle, maybe I couldn't do anything to you. But you're not there now, so are you here to throw your life away?"

"Heh."

Ye Yun curled his lips into a smile, noncommittal.

He crooked his finger at Yi Xing, as if taunting him.

Seeing this blatantly provocative gesture, Yi Xing's scarlet electronic eyes flickered wildly. He stomped on the deck, leaped high into the air, and swung the razor-sharp blade of his Death God Scythe down at Ye Yun's head with a piercing whistle.

Watching the incoming scythe, Ye Yun leaned his body backward to dodge the sweeping arc, then moved his feet.

With agile steps, he slipped behind Yi Xing, a Laser Sword appearing in his hand as he slashed at the joint.

"Ding."

Though Yi Xing's frame was massive, his reaction speed was far from slow.

He spun around, bringing the scythe down from above in a reckless, life-for-life strike aimed at Ye Yun's crown.

This forced Ye Yun to redirect his attack, raising the Laser Sword to block the Death God's scythe.

"How is that possible?"

Yi Xing's voice rang out in shock. He never expected that this human's strength could actually withstand his attack.

He really wanted to ask: Are you even human?

"Shua!"

Ye Yun didn't bother to reply. He forcefully shoved Yi Xing's weapon aside, leaped up, and brought the Laser Sword down like Mount Tai crashing from above.

"Ding."

The Laser Sword struck Yi Xing's arm with a crisp sound, leaving a deep gash and a faint scorch mark.

He quickly pulled back, because Yi Xing's scythe was already swinging at him again.

"Dong."

The scythe slammed into the sand with a violent impact, kicking up dust and grit.

"Ta ta ta."

Ye Yun used the momentum to step onto the scythe, sprinted two strides up to Yi Xing's shoulder, and swung the Laser Sword at his neck.

"Bastard."

Yi Xing reached out to grab his foot, trying to tear this human off his body.

But what met him was a brutal kick.

"Kacha."

Instantly.

Yi Xing felt his arm go limp, losing all power.

"Zizi zi."

The Laser Sword plunged into Yi Xing's neck, crackling with electric current. Ye Yun stood on his neck, gripped the sword, and twisted hard.

The Laser Sword spun a full circle inside Yi Xing's neck.

"Putong."

Yi Xing's massive head thudded onto the sand with a dull impact.

Sparks arced from the severed stump.

As Yi Xing's body crumpled to the ground, another member of Duyizhi was taken care of.

"Everyone said he was tough, but he wasn't that tough." Ye Yun put away his weapon, glanced at the Yi Xing he'd dispatched in a few quick moves, and shrugged.

After removing Yi Xing's Intelligent Chip, Ye Yun looked down at the slash mark on his own arm, then dismissed it.

At his recovery rate, it would heal completely in two days.

He eyed the abandoned Missile Destroyer, lightly pushed off the sand, leaped up, and boarded the ship the Intelligent Being had used to escape.

"Pretty spacious in here."

Stepping into the inner cabin of the Missile Destroyer, Ye Yun carefully surveyed the surrounding environment and facilities, maintaining constant vigilance.

In this quiet environment.

Even the sound of a pin dropping to the floor could be heard clearly by Ye Yun.

"What's this?"

When Ye Yun arrived at the remodeled hall and saw the neatly arranged "Yi Xing" units inside, he was still somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected.

That there would be so many Warriors.

Which country had custom-produced these War Machines?

Because this type of custom combat robot was specifically designed for battlefield warfare—the moment they entered combat, their sheer size alone would deliver a massive shock.

Let alone their actual Combat Power.

"Hey, Little Brother, why aren't you back yet?"

At that moment, Feiran's voice rang out through Ye Yun's Bluetooth earpiece, saying, "Haven't you dealt with the Yi Xing yet?"

"Dealt with."

He glanced around the area, searching within to see if he could find anything.

"Squeak."

The sound of a mouse rang out. Ye Yun looked down to see mice scurrying past his feet like startled birds.

"Then why aren't you back? Not eating?"

The communicator carried Feiran's puzzled voice.

"I've found a large number of combat-type intelligent warriors here. They look damaged. Do you want to come take a look?"

Ye Yun still reported the situation here to Feiran.

"Combat-type intelligent warriors? Alright, I'll be right over." Hearing his words, Feiran naturally sensed the seriousness of the matter.

Stockpiling so many intelligent warriors on Linji Island—what could the goal be?

It was obvious.

Stopping his exchange with Feiran, Ye Yun continued walking and searching within.

"Cryo Pods?"

When he reached a secluded spot, he saw rows of Cryo Pods, apparently still powered on.

But these Cryo Pods all had Code Locks, making them impossible to open.

Soon.

The sound of High Heels striking the floor came from outside.

Feiran hurried in from outside. Seeing the intelligent warriors in the hall, she gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. "Th-this this..."

"What's wrong? Dumbfounded?"

Ye Yun walked out from the darkness and patted her shoulder.

"Ah!"

Startled by Ye Yun's pat, Feiran was genuinely frightened. After recovering, she punched him in the chest and scolded, "You want to die? You scared me to death."

"These intelligent warriors, once repaired and activated, will become unstoppable, fearless War Machines."

Feiran gently stroked her chest, looking at the warriors in the hall, each standing nearly three meters tall, and said solemnly, "Have you found anything else?"

"Yes, there's a row of Cryo Pods in that corner over there, still receiving uninterrupted power. They have Code Locks—I can't open them."

Ye Yun nodded and pointed toward the distant corner.

"See, this is why I tell you to study more. Why do you spend all day staring at the Night Sky? Now look—how are you ever going to find a Wife? You can't even open a smart lock, and you're supposed to be Professor Hu Ming's son."

Hearing this, Feiran shot him a look of frustration and walked toward the dark corner.

"I'm not Professor Hu Ming's son."

Ye Yun followed behind Feiran, muttering under his breath.

Suddenly.

Feiran's body trembled. She turned to look at Ye Yun in disbelief, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. "You, what did you say?"

"I didn't say anything!"

Ye Yun spread his hands, his eyes full of confusion, and said, "Could you be hearing things?"

"Is that so?"

Feiran's beautiful eyes kept circling over him.

Truly.

The secrets of this Little Brother of hers were far too many.

"Yes, let's finish checking quickly and head back for a meal. I'm already hungry."

He reached out and placed a hand on Feiran's shoulder, pushing her toward the corner where the cryo pods had been discovered. Pointing at a row of pods, each about two meters long and fifty centimeters wide, glowing with red lights, he said, "Right here, let's open one up and take a look!"

"Alright!" Feiran nodded, pulling out her own computer and beginning to crack the code lock on the cryo pod.

As a high-IQ individual, she felt no pressure dealing with something like this.

Intelligent Island, a certain abandoned library.

Professor Ye Zhen, busy assembling his Intelligent Being, gazed at his creation with satisfaction in his eyes.

He was the greatest scientist in this world.

If his vision truly succeeded.

Then he wouldn't need any helpers—he himself would be the strongest.

"Beep, beep."

Just then.

The computer placed beside Professor Ye Zhen let out a sound, causing him to furrow his brows deeply and mutter to himself, "What's happened now?"

Though puzzled, he paused his work and picked up his tablet computer to check.

"Yi Xing is dead?"

Seeing the feedback from the computer, Professor Ye Zhen's brows knitted even tighter.

Yi Xing had survived on Linji Island for so long without dying—why now, of all times?

And.

He only now realized that the Anti-Tracking System he had set in the Sharp Eye Chip had been erased.

Could it be her?

"Jie Xing, what's your current location?"

He began a remote communication with Jie Xing.

"Foster Father, I'm currently observing the DRE Company, preparing to welcome the new brother tonight."

Jie Xing didn't hesitate much and replied, "Is there something you need, Foster Father?"

"Yi Xing has been taken care of. I need you to head to Linji Island and check on the situation."

Professor Ye Zhen stated his purpose to Jie Xing, worry evident in his eyes.

Yi Xing meeting with misfortune on Linji Island—this matter was no small thing.

After all.

Linji Island was home to the Intelligent Warrior Army. If someone discovered it, there was a high chance it would be destroyed.

"What? Yi Xing is dead?"

Jie Xing was also somewhat shocked upon hearing Professor Ye Zhen's words.

After all.

Yi Xing's strength was plain for all to see.

But thinking that the man might be on Linji Island, he couldn't help but feel concerned.

"He was fine for so long—why was Yi Xing taken out today?"
