Luo Feng Requests a Life-or-Death Duel!

"Teacher..."

Luo Feng hadn't seen his teacher in a year, and upon meeting him again, the gratitude and emotion welling inside him nearly made him want to kneel in thanks, but Zhou Ze firmly held him back.

"Don't act like a child!"

Zhou Ze glanced at Luo Feng with a faint smile and said, "Feeling pretty awful inside, aren't you?"

"Mm!" Luo Feng knew what Zhou Ze meant and nodded fiercely.

"I never thought that Li Yao and his wife would be so ruthless!"

"They're far more ruthless than you imagine!"

Zhou Ze reached out, tapped on his Auxiliary Optical Computer arm guard, and transmitted some information to Luo Feng face-to-face.

"Auxiliary Optical Computer?" Luo Feng was startled. "Teacher, have you also activated the Elite Passage and joined Fallen Ink Star?"

"We'll talk later."

Zhou Ze said, "Take care of your own matters first."

"After being in there so long, how is it? Confident you can handle Li Yao and his wife alone?"

"Of course!" Luo Feng's face turned cold, then he asked in confusion, "Teacher, what do you mean by that?"

"They're back."

"Finally back."

Li Yao and his wife revealed faint smiles as they slowly descended the steps from the passenger plane.

"Li Yao, Vina!" A voice rang out.

Li Yao and his wife's hearts tightened. Not far away, four figures walked toward them, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

The leader's face was as cold as ice: "Your deeds have been exposed. On behalf of the War God Palace, we formally arrest you!"

On the landing pad outside the global headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Hall, a large number of craft—either saucer-shaped or Smart Fighters—were parked.

Over thirty Councilors had gathered here.

Around three in the afternoon, inside the Supreme Court of the massive airship building, more than half of the planet's Councilor-level experts, along with a few influential War Gods, had assembled.

As Hong and Thunder God arrived, the court session soon began.

About an hour later, with solid evidence and testimony, Li Yao and his wife were essentially sentenced to death!

At that moment, Luo Feng raised his hand. After gaining approval from Hong, Thunder God, and the others, he spoke: "First Speaker, Second Speaker, esteemed judges, I request a Life-or-Death Duel with Li Yao and his wife..."

"This violates the regulations!" A judge frowned. "Li Yao and his wife have broken the War God Palace's laws; the court should deliver the verdict! Not allow you to settle this privately!"

Luo Feng swept his gaze over the crowd before him, then fixed his eyes on Hong and Thunder God.

"Approved!"

"Approved!"

Hong and Thunder God gave their consent one after the other.

With both of them in agreement, the opinions of the others no longer mattered. They each held special authority.

Those who truly understood the law knew that the real purpose of laws and rules was often not to restrain the strong, but to protect the weak.

"Heh, Luo Feng, you're asking for death. I'll grant it!" Li Yao glared viciously at Luo Feng.

Vina sneered as well: "Even if we die, we won't let you off easy!"

Though Li Yao and his wife knew Luo Feng was formidable, they would rather face him in a Life-or-Death Duel than be executed disgracefully—maybe they'd even get a chance to kill him.

In the Wilderness Zone outside the Limit Martial Arts Hall headquarters.

All the Councilors and martial artists who had come gathered here to watch.

This was the first time Zhou Ze stood alongside Hong and Thunder God, instantly sparking murmurs among everyone present.

They felt they had still underestimated Zhou Ze...

Li Yao and his wife suddenly understood why, despite not mobilizing the HR Alliance's power or any technological means, they had been arrested so swiftly.

It turned out Zhou Ze had already laid the net, waiting for them to walk right in.

"Hmph, you want us to be a whetstone for your disciple? Then let's see who lives and who dies!"

Li Yao burned with fury. Back on the Australian Continent, Hong had used him as a whetstone for Luo Feng, and now, even at death's door, he had to go through it again. The resentment and rage in his heart were overwhelming.

"Li Yao, Vina, back when you put a 100 billion bounty on my head, did you ever think today would come?" Luo Feng's expression was icy.

"Your son tried to kill me for no reason—he just didn't expect me to be a Spiritual Psychic. If you hadn't used such filthy tactics against my family, I might have actually forgotten about you two clowns..."

"Enough talk. You two are dead men today!"

"We may be dead for sure, but you're dying too!" Li Yao said coldly.

Vina sneered wildly, "You're a lowlife living in a cramped apartment building, your whole family is trash—even becoming a warrior doesn't change that. My son killing you would have been your honor; you should have just accepted death back then!"

Luo Feng wasn't angry, instead smiling faintly, "But your son is dead, killed by me, and now you two will die by my hands too!"

Vina snorted coldly, changing into her combat suit. Li Yao did the same.

At that moment, Luo Feng felt a sense of emptiness, but in his mind, he thought about how if he ever had children with Xu Xin, he'd raise them well—he believed his descendants wouldn't turn out like Li Wei.

"Begin!"

With Hong's command, Luo Feng controlled the sixteen flying daggers swirling around him, shooting out like rays of death!

Without the Black God Suit, Vina was riddled with holes in an instant! Li Yao was blasted far away, blood spraying from his mouth mid-air!

In that split second, no one except Zhou Ze and Luo Feng himself had expected this.

"One exchange and Li Yao's spitting that much blood in the air?"

"With Li Yao's Senior War God physique and the Black God Suit, having no resistance means the impact force is definitely over 6 million kilograms!"

"Luo Feng is a peak War God Spiritual Psychic; each dagger's limit is 520,000 to 560,000 kilograms of force, sixteen of them total 8 to 9 million kilograms—that's definitely reached the average level of a typical 'Beyond War God' existence!"

"What did he get in the No. 9 Ruins? How has he improved so much in just a year?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Hong and Thunder God both looked at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze spread his hands, "He just came out."

On the other side, after killing Vina and knocking Li Yao back, Luo Feng didn't strike the final blow immediately, but said coldly:

"When you used such despicable methods against my parents, did you ever think today would come?"

Li Yao lay on the ground, his eyes hollow and vacant.

"I won't accept this! I won't accept this!! I really won't accept this!!!"

Li Yao's heart churned violently, filled with rage and unwillingness. Death itself wasn't scary—what was terrifying was the torment before it.

An unprecedented surge of emotion made Li Yao's body tremble.

"He seems about to break through!" Thunder God pointed at Li Yao.

"Mm." Hong said indifferently.

Both of them looked at Zhou Ze again.

Thunder God rested his hand on his shoulder, grinning, "Trouble's coming..."

"No problem."

Zhou Ze naturally understood what Thunder God meant—it wasn't that Li Yao breaking through could turn the tables on Luo Feng, but that becoming a Councilor changed his power and status.

Just like if a War God killed another War God within a base city's limits, it was a capital offense!

But if a Councilor killed a War God out of concern for his family's safety, he'd at most get a few years in prison.

Unlike the original story, Li Yao and his wife hadn't been sentenced to death yet. If someone stepped in to protect him, he might actually escape execution.

After all, his actions against Luo Feng's family had some justification. Luo Feng killed their son—who was right or wrong? Back then, there was no proof that Li Wei had tried to kill Luo Feng and was killed in self-defense.

"Interesting..."

Zhou Ze looked at an old man with graying, waist-length hair.
