Just then, a clear, cold voice came from the sky.

"Li Yao, Vinina, come out!"

It wasn't Zhou Mu's voice, it was Luo Feng's!

Li Yao stopped in his tracks. He stood in front of the door, his hand pressed against the cold stone door, hesitant to push it open.

The voice was very young, so young that it reminded him of his son. If Li Wei were still alive, he would be about the same age.

He pushed the door open forcefully.

Under the moonlight, a black-haired youth stood atop a shuttle-shaped telekinetic weapon, his gaze icy.

Not far behind him, Zhou Mu hovered quietly in mid-air, his hands behind his back, his gaze calm, showing no intention of interfering.

Li Yao looked up at Luo Feng, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

A few months ago, the young man in front of me was an unknown warrior of the general level, and was even uneasy because of the bounty on his head.

Now, he stands before me as a planetary-level powerhouse.

"Luo Feng!"

Li Yao spoke, "You've finally arrived."

Luo Feng looked at him, his gaze calm as still water: "Li Yao, it's time to settle our score today."

Li Yao didn't speak, but slowly drew his battle sword from his waist.

Venina, standing beside him, extended a pair of sharp claws from her arm armor. Her face was devoid of fear, displaying only a morbid calm.

"Kid, you think you can do whatever you want just because you've broken through to the planetary level?!"

Vinina's voice was shrill and piercing, filled with venomous resentment, "Even if I die today, I'll bite off a piece of your flesh!"

She moved first, her figure turning into a blur, her sharp claws aimed straight for Luo Feng's throat!

Luo Feng didn't even glance at her.

With a wave of his right hand, eighteen blades as thin as cicada wings emerged from the Sky Shuttle beneath his feet, transforming into a long rainbow in the air and rushing towards Vinina from all directions.

Vinina's expression changed drastically. She brandished her claws and frantically swung the scorpion tail scimitar hidden behind her, attempting to block the attack.

But those blades were too fast and too agile, weaving like fish, making it impossible for her to block them.

One of the blades bypassed her claws, glancing past her side and leaving a deep, bloody gash on her waist.

Vinina screamed and staggered, blood splattering everywhere.

"Venina!"

Li Yao roared, unable to contain himself any longer. He raised his battle sword and shot out like an arrow, slashing straight at Luo Feng!

"You little bastard, prepare to die!"

Luo Feng's eyes narrowed, and with a slight thought, he turned half of the blades around to face Li Yao.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The clang of metal rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.

Li Yao was knocked back several steps, but gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

Vinina, also enduring the pain, lunged at him from the side. The two, one on the left and one on the right, had worked together for many years and were in perfect sync.

Li Yao launched a direct attack, his battle blade wielding immense power, each swing producing a sharp whistling sound.

Vinina moved flank from the side, her claws like the spitting tongues of a venomous snake, targeting Luo Feng's weak points in defense. Her scorpion-tailed scimitar would occasionally stab out from behind her, attacking Luo Feng.

Luo Feng controlled the Sky Shuttle, with eighteen blades flying in the air, sometimes combining into a blade net to block, and sometimes scattering to counterattack.

After months of arduous training, the secret techniques passed down from the Meteorite Star were all transformed into his combat power at this moment.

But Li Yao and his wife were veteran warriors, and with a death wish, their offensive became increasingly frantic.

Despite being severely injured by the blade, Vinina forcefully broke through the defenses and aimed her claws straight at Luo Feng's face!

Li Yao seized the opportunity to close in, sweeping his battle blade across, the blade's aura surging!

Luo Feng retreated rapidly, and eighteen blades formed a shield in front of him, barely blocking the attack.

"You little bastard, today is your death day!"

Li Yao roared and launched an even fiercer attack.

A cold glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. He no longer held back. The eighteen blades instantly combined in the air, transforming into a sharp drill, carrying the momentum to pierce through everything, and stabbed straight at Li Yao!

Sky Shuttle's first form - Mountain Drill Cone!

Li Yao's face turned pale as he desperately tried to dodge, but the drilling cone was too fast, so fast that he didn't have time to react!

puff!

A figure appeared, knocking Li Yao away from the fatal blow, but was himself pierced through by the mountain-drilling cone, blood splattering everywhere!

"No! Vinina!"

Vinina looked down at the bloody hole in her chest, then looked at Li Yao with eyes full of reluctance. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but only spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next second, her body fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, lifeless.

Li Yao's eyes were bloodshot as he let out a desperate wail. His eyes were instantly filled with blood vessels, and the energy around his body surged wildly, becoming more and more violent and hot, as if it would burst his body!

At that very moment, a brand new power burst forth from his body!

He broke through in anger!

Not only that, his body began to emit a dazzling light, which grew brighter and brighter, like a rising sun!

Light-based abilities?!

"Luo Feng!"

Li Yao's voice roared like a wounded beast, "I want you dead!"

He flashed forward with terrifying speed. With the enhancement of his light power, his speed increased several times over. The battle blade in his hand transformed into a dazzling blade of light, slashing towards Luo Feng's head!

A hint of seriousness flashed in Luo Feng's eyes, but he did not back down in the slightest.

The drilling cones were reassembled, ready to unleash their power.

Li Yao's blade flashed down, and Luo Feng's mountain-drilling cone met it head-on!

boom!

Two terrifying forces collided, creating ripples that filled the sky.

Li Yao pressed his advantage relentlessly, flashing forward once more and slashing down with his blade.

He had just broken through and was at the peak of his power. Every strike he made was filled with the determination to risk everything. The sword light poured down like a storm, as if it wanted to devour Luo Feng.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Li Yao felt his strength draining away and his consciousness blurring, but he couldn't stop. Once he stopped, there would be no more chances.

He roared, using his last bit of strength to pour all his source energy and power into his final strike. The blade of light swelled up, like a sword of judgment falling from the sky, and cleaved towards Luo Feng!

Luo Feng took a deep breath, and the drilling cone spun wildly under the control of his mental power, its golden light surging!

He charged towards the blinding blade of light!

boom!!!

A deafening roar shook the heavens, and an energy storm swept outwards.

As the light faded, Li Yao's SS-grade battle sword broke in two; the mountain-drilling cone pierced through the blade, through the Black God Armor, and through his arm...

Finally, it pierced his heart!

Li Yao's body froze in mid-air, his right arm had turned into a bloody mist, a fist-sized bloody hole appeared in his chest, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Luo Feng!"

"You think you've won?"

Li Yao struggled to lift his head, a crazed smile spreading across his pale face. His planetary-level vitality meant that even with his heart pierced, he hadn't died immediately.

"You think killing me will end it all?"

His voice grew weaker, yet carried a twisted smugness. "Let me tell you! Over the past few months, I've planted T111 bombs under every single street and every important building in every district of Jiangnan Base City!"

Luo Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Seeing his expression, Li Yao laughed even more maniacally: "Those bombs... are linked to my vital signs. If my heart stops beating... in ten seconds..."

He struggled to raise his hand, pointing to the bloody hole in his chest, blood seeping through his fingers.

"In ten seconds, those bombs will be enough to level the entire base city! Thirty-seven million lives will be lost!"
