Chapter 199: Li Yao’s Demise

“Chase!”

Without hesitation, Liu He and Amuhan immediately soared into the sky.

Star-level warriors could fly through the air, a unique trait marking their evolution from apprentices to “Star-level” warriors. However, while flying, they couldn’t utilize the power of their legs, so their flight speed was far slower than their running speed on the ground.

“So fast!”

“Luofeng is also fast.”

Liu He and Amuhan watched as Li Yao and Luo Feng, one after the other, swiftly flew into the upper atmosphere and disappeared from sight.

“Li Yao’s special ability should be ‘light rays,'” Liu He frowned. “Like the Master, he possesses the special ability of light rays, so his flying speed is much faster than ours. We can’t catch up.”

In the universe, Star-level warriors were considered “true warriors” because only at the Star-level could warriors truly wield their unique abilities.

“Connect with the Master,” Liu He ordered through his communicator.

“Connect with the Master,” Amuhan also attempted to contact Thunder.

Soon, the connection was established.

“Master, Li Yao broke through to the Councilor level at the critical moment of execution! And his special ability should be ‘light rays,’ making him extremely fast. He just took off into the sky, and Luofeng has already chased after him. Amuhan and I couldn’t keep up,” Liu He immediately reported, with Amuhan echoing the same.

After the report was completed.

“Let’s go; we’ll chase using our fighter jets,” Liu He summoned a Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet. However, Liu He and others were well aware that even with the intelligent fighter jet, it wouldn’t help.

Although the fighter jet’s speed far surpassed that of a Councilor-level warrior, once it caught up with Li Yao, Liu He and Amuhan would still have to exit the jet to pursue and kill him. Since they couldn’t match Li Yao’s speed, chasing him would be in vain.

At the Global Headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Pavilion, in the banquet hall.

With over thirty Councilors attending this event, the Limit Martial Arts Pavilion naturally wouldn’t let so many powerful Councilors come and go as they pleased. A banquet was specially held in the banquet hall for them. To the Councilors, the deaths of the two Warlords were merely a trivial matter. The only one who might truly care was Yanhai.

“What?” In the banquet hall, Hong, the black-clad man, showed a slight change in expression.

“He broke through?” Lei Shen, the bald monk, also received the news with surprise.

The entire banquet hall fell silent.

Hong, the black-clad man, immediately ordered, “Yaorao, Vladimir.”

“At your service,” Yaorao, his personal guard, stepped forward.

“At your service,” a black man also stepped forward.

“You two, take my Primordial-class intelligent fighter jet and immediately assist Luofeng in killing Li Yao!” Hong, the black-clad man, commanded. “Li Yao has now broken through to the Councilor level! His special ability is ‘light rays.’ You must leave immediately.”

“Yes!”

Yaorao and Vladimir, the Inspector, quickly left the banquet hall and boarded the Primordial-class intelligent fighter jet, heading toward the wilderness area.

The entire banquet hall erupted.

“Li Yao broke through?”

“He broke through before his death. Li Yao is impressive indeed, and his special ability is ‘light rays.'”

The Councilors whispered among themselves. In a corner of the hall, Yanhai, with his aged face, showed a rare glimmer of joy as he thought to himself, “Little Vulture, you must seize this chance to escape this time.”

“The First Chancellor has ordered Vladimir to assist Luofeng? Could it be that Luofeng is chasing after Li Yao?”

“Li Yao’s special ability is light rays, and his flying speed is faster than most Councilors! Luofeng dares to chase him?”

“Luofeng is overestimating himself.”

“He may match the attack power of an average Councilor, but now Li Yao’s attack power is no weaker than his! With the special ability of light rays, his agility is astonishing. Luofeng is in trouble this time.”

Some Councilors felt pity for Li Yao, thinking that if he had broken through before the trial, he wouldn’t have received the death sentence. Now it was too late. Others secretly believed that Luofeng was overestimating himself, thinking that just because he had 16 hidden weapons with an impact force exceeding 8 million kilograms, he dared to chase and kill a Councilor.

“Hong, Luofeng is too bold,” Lei Shen, the bald monk, said with a smile.

“He is a bit reckless,” Hong, the black-clad man, frowned. “He is no match for Li Yao now. He is blinded by hatred… Sigh, he still needs to be cultivated carefully, after all, he is too young.”

“Yes, Luofeng is a promising young man. With proper cultivation, he has great potential. In the future, when facing some critical matters, he might become our valuable ally,” Lei Shen smiled.

Hong, the black-clad man, nodded slightly. “He has great potential. In ten or twenty years, he might become the Third Chancellor, provided he has the perseverance.”

In the eyes of the two strongest men on Earth, Luofeng had great potential, but… he was not ready yet.

“This time, he was too reckless,” Hong, the black-clad man, shook his head slightly, clearly disappointed with Luofeng’s actions.

High in the stratosphere.

“Is this the power of a being beyond Warlords, the strength of a Councilor?” Li Yao couldn’t help but laugh excitedly as he shot through the high skies, his laughter spreading like shockwaves. The light around him seemed to twist, his body appearing blurry at times, eerie and elusive. His tattered clothes were torn apart by the wind.

Revealing his strong, muscular body!

“What powerful strength.”

“My agility and explosive power are much stronger than before.” Li Yao swung a punch, and the air exploded. “With the transformed energy as a buffer, releasing explosive power is much easier. No wonder the Councilors are so powerful.”

Behind him—

Whoosh!

A streak of light rapidly pursued.

“Li Yao!” A furious shout.

“Luofeng!” Li Yao caught sight of Luo Feng from the corner of his eye and his eyes gleamed with ferocity. He hovered in mid-air, watching Luo Feng approach. Luo Feng, standing on the Runheaven Shuttle, also stopped and hovered facing Li Yao.

“It’s all because of you that my son died. Because of you, my wife also died… Today, I will show you the power of a being beyond Warlords!” Under Li Yao’s tattered clothes, his muscles were like sculptures, perfectly defined. His eyes burned with killing intent as he stared at Luo Feng.

Standing on the Runheaven Shuttle, Luo Feng’s body was covered in the Black God Suit, forming a combat uniform, and his helmeted face was cold and expressionless.

A being beyond Warlords?

Just a first-stage Star-level warrior!

“Li Yao, you are destined to die by my hand,” Luo Feng silently stared at Li Yao.

“Arrogant!” Li Yao roared.

At this moment, the Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet carrying Liu He and Amuhan, the two Councilors, had already hovered in the distance. However, since Liu He and Amuhan couldn’t match Li Yao’s speed, they didn’t rush out… After all, even if they did, they couldn’t even touch the hem of Li Yao’s clothes. They were only responsible for tracking!

As long as they didn’t lose him, when the reinforcements sent by Hong arrived, they could easily kill the vulture Li Yao.

“Luofeng, Luofeng, hurry up and get on the fighter jet,” Liu He’s voice came through.

Luofeng and Li Yao, however, continued to stare at each other in mid-air.

“Luofeng, you’re too young, too arrogant. Today, your arrogance will be the cause of your death!” Li Yao sneered, then slightly stretched out his hands. Gradually, a faint glow appeared on both of his hands, as if they were turning into two blades! Moreover, his hands became somewhat blurry.

Luofeng’s Runheaven Shuttle was already floating in front of him, with black footrests extending from his feet, suspending him in mid-air.

He silently watched Li Yao prepare his ultimate move.

“Although the Black God Suit is powerful, your body is only at the level of a high-level Warlord,” Li Yao gave a strange smile and suddenly closed his eyes. Gradually, a faint glow appeared all over his body, and he seemed to be enveloped in a golden light. This sight startled Liu He and Amuhan aboard the intelligent fighter jet.

“He’s going all out right away?” Liu He was secretly alarmed.

“Li Yao indeed has a deadly grudge against Luofeng, willing to kill him even at the cost of serious injury,” Liu He and Amuhan, as Star-level warriors, clearly understood what Li Yao was doing.

Li Yao, now bathed in golden light, suddenly moved!

Whoosh!

Like a rainbow, he shot toward Luofeng.

“Li Yao, die!” Luofeng, suspended in mid-air, slightly raised his hand.

Swish! The Runheaven Shuttle instantly transformed into a ‘mountain-drilling cone.’ With twelve powerful mental energy threads merging into the secret patterns and activating them, twelve golden threads rapidly surged to the tip of the mountain-drilling cone, forming an unimaginable drilling force. The mountain-drilling cone seemed to possess the impact force of an explosion of hundreds of millions of tons of explosives.

“Roar~~”

The Runheaven Shuttle pierced through space like a golden beam of light, reaching an unbelievable speed. Even a ninth-stage Star-level warrior might not be faster than the mountain-drilling cone form of the Runheaven Shuttle!

“What!” Li Yao only had time to feel astonished in his mind, unable to think of anything else.

Boom!

Under the overwhelming speed, there was no time to think or dodge. Li Yao, who was preparing to unleash his ultimate move, was hit by the mountain-drilling cone, which drilled a large hole through his chest. The rotating tearing force of the mountain-drilling cone further shredded Li Yao’s entire body into pieces, scattering blood and flesh into the air.

Whoosh! The mountain-drilling cone instantly disassembled and transformed back into the Runheaven Shuttle, flying back to Luofeng’s feet.

Li Yao was dead!

Just after breaking through to become a being beyond Warlords, filled with ambition and eager to seek revenge, he was directly killed by Luofeng!

Just like that, he was dead!

The Runheaven Shuttle had three forms. The first form could transform into ‘mountain-drilling cone’ and ‘mountain-shield.’ The second form of the Runheaven Shuttle could only be learned when one reached an amplitude of 30. As for the third form of the Runheaven Shuttle, it could only be learned when one reached the Cosmic level, had an amplitude of 48, and possessed their own domain.

Perhaps the transformations of the second form of the Runheaven Shuttle were even more exaggerated and powerful.

However, the basic transformations of the first form into ‘mountain-drilling cone’ and ‘mountain-shield’ were already very satisfying for Luofeng in terms of power.

“Heavens!” Liu He, not far away, was stunned.

“Great Brahma above, I… I…” Amuhan was also frightened.

A Councilor-level warrior had been killed by a golden beam of light!

Luofeng’s movements had been too fast. He instantly transformed the Runheaven Shuttle to attack, so quickly that even Liu He and Amuhan couldn’t see exactly what that golden beam was. They only saw… Li Yao’s seemingly powerful attack hadn’t even reached Luofeng before he was blown to pieces!

“Master, Master,” Liu He quickly tried to connect.

“Master,” Amuhan did the same.

Both connections were established.

“Liu He, is Luofeng alright? Hurry and get him onto the jet. Make him calm down and stop being reckless,” Hong immediately instructed as soon as the connection was made.

“Master, Li Yao was killed by Luofeng,” Liu He swallowed hard and said.
