Luo Feng Was Pushed to the Edge

"This is what it means to surpass the War God level? This is the strength of a Councilor?" Li Yao couldn't help laughing wildly with excitement.

The light around him shimmered and warped. His body blurred at times, then drifted strangely from place to place.

"Luo Feng!" Li Yao stared at him, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"It's all because of you that my family was destroyed. Today, you're doomed!"

Li Yao seemed worried someone would stop him from killing Luo Feng. A faint glow appeared across his body, soon cloaking him in golden light. He was burning his Genetic Energy, a desperate move that would leave him gravely wounded or even dead, even if he won.

He charged toward Luo Feng at full speed, murderous intent in his eyes. In his view, now that he had reached the Planetary-level, and was willing to fight to the death, Luo Feng was as good as dead!

"Li Yao, die!"

Luo Feng hovered in midair. With a flash, the Escape Shuttle instantly transformed into a "Drill Cone." Driven by twelve streams of Psychic Power infused into its runic patterns, twelve golden threads sprang into being and raced to its tip, giving it an unimaginable piercing force.

"Roar~"

The Sky Drill seemed to bore through space itself, turning into a streak of golden light. It moved so fast that the many Councilors present could barely make it out.

"Boom!"

Li Yao had only just been about to launch his attack. Against such sheer speed, he had no time to think or dodge before he was sent flying!

Even after reaching the Planetary-level, Li Yao was still no match for Luo Feng. But with the Black God Suit protecting him, he wasn't killed in one move like he had been in the original story!

"What terrifying piercing power!"

Li Yao's face fell. He hadn't expected that even after reaching Beyond War God-level, he still wouldn't be a match for Luo Feng—even after resorting to a desperate measure.

"Li Yao, even if you reach the Planetary-level, you're still going to die today!"

Luo Feng's voice was cold as he controlled the Sky Drill and kept hammering Li Yao. Li Yao tried to flee, but faced with the Escape Shuttle's lightning-fast attacks, he couldn't move at all.

"If this keeps up, even the Black God Suit won't protect my body from that piercing force!" Li Yao thought in terror, looking toward the white-haired old man in the distance.

Yan Hai, who had a special bond with Li Yao, sighed. He had never imagined that Li Yao, who had clawed his way back from despair and broken through to Councilor Level, would still be no match for Luo Feng.

Even the Black God Suit couldn't save his life!

Yan Hai remembered their adventures together during the Great Nirvana Period. They had truly faced life and death side by side, and he had long since come to regard Li Yao as his own son.

"Enough..." Yan Hai looked toward Hong and Thunder God.

"First Speaker, Second Speaker..."

"Could you stop this Life-or-Death Duel? Li Yao deserves to die for harming a warrior's family, of course! But his actions are understandable. After all, Luo Feng killed his only son, and Li Yao never went after Luo Feng's family. He must have considered the War God Palace's regulations."

"Now his wife has also died at Luo Feng's hands. He's suffered the punishment he deserves."

Yan Hai felt his argument was reasonable. He glanced at those present and said, "The monsters are humanity's greatest enemy. We have a global population of billions, yet after all these years, we have only a little over sixty Councilors."

"Every one of them is indispensable in the fight against the monsters. Now that we have another Councilor-level warrior, humanity has gained another vital source of strength."

"If he dies in internal strife like this, it will be a tremendous loss for humanity..."

Yan Hai felt his argument was sound and assumed the others would agree.

Luo Feng heard him too, and fury surged through him. He unleashed his full strength, and Li Yao soon began to falter.

Yan Hai grew anxious. His affection for Li Yao was genuine, but he also had his own interests in mind. If he could persuade them to spare Li Yao, he would gain a loyal Councilor-level warrior as an ally.

He hurled the specially made cane in his hand, hoping to knock aside Luo Feng's Drill Cone and buy Li Yao a moment to catch his breath.

But to his surprise, several flying knives knocked the cane aside in midair!

"You old bastard! This Life-or-Death Duel was decided by the War God Palace. How dare you violate the rules and interfere?"

Zhou Ze stood on a shield, looking down at Yan Hai. Then he turned to Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, hit him harder. If you don't finish off Li Yao soon, you might not get another chance."

Zhou Ze's actions drew everyone's attention.

"A Spiritual Psychic? I never expected Luo Feng's teacher to be one too!"

"His strength seems to have reached Councilor Level as well. He actually used flying knives to knock aside Yan Hai's cane!"

"Both master and disciple are Councilor-level? This..."

Many felt that the world had gone mad. How had three Councilor-level warriors appeared one after another in such a short time?

Yan Hai's heart was full of malice, but he sighed on the surface. "Teacher Zhou, I'm doing this for the good of all humanity. You should understand how important a Councilor-level warrior is."

"Besides, Luo Feng was the one who killed his son first..."

Zhou Ze was getting impatient. "You old fossil, you talk too much. All that talk about benevolence and morality—you're just guilt-tripping everyone. Do you think we're idiots?"

"A warrior's family must never be harmed. That's a consensus among warriors everywhere. And the War God Palace decided on this Life-or-Death Duel. Who are you to change everything with a few words?"

"Do you think the War God Palace's rules are a joke?"

As if he were the only one who could make a grand speech.

"Li Yao's actions crossed the line for every warrior. That cruel way of tormenting people without leaving obvious wounds... I'm sure none of you want to suffer an accident and have your own family or clan tortured like that by an enemy or rival faction."

Zhou Ze's words struck a chord with everyone. They exchanged opinions in murmurs, nodding now and then. They felt he had a point.

Just then, something unexpected happened on Luo Feng's side!

His aura surged violently, and every War God-level warrior present gradually felt an oppression that came from a higher level of life.

Luo Feng had also broken through to the Planetary-level!

After his breakthrough, the base impact force of every flying knife increased sharply. In an instant, he killed Li Yao!

"Holy crap!" Zhou Ze's eyes widened. Honestly, he hadn't seen that coming.

The Auxiliary Optical Computer also described ways to break through to the Planetary-level.

The first was to wait for the right moment. Maybe some surge of emotion would trigger a breakthrough. That was what had happened to Luo Feng.

The second was to keep strengthening one's consciousness. A powerful consciousness could also help Psychic Power break through.

The third was the method Luo Feng had used in the original story: using a Secret Art, such as the Nine-Nine Divine Forging, to break through to the Planetary-level.

"This kid was pushed to the edge. He was afraid he'd never get another chance this good to kill Li Yao!" Zhou Ze smiled faintly.

Yan Hai took that smile as a taunt directed at him.

He would remember this grudge.
