The Last Sentinel

"How is it, Dr. Lin?"

"Heart meridian..."

"Is it damage to the heart meridian?"

"No, I can't feel his heartbeat at all."

What?

"Furthermore, his body was resisting my tests. Whenever I tried to examine the condition of his internal organs, they would automatically disguise themselves as normal. Then, after I examined an area, his body data would change. The heart and liver that I had examined would disappear. It felt as if his internal organs were living beings, that his kidneys, heart, liver, and blood vessels were sentient, as if they were outwitting me. It felt like I wasn't facing a patient, but a horde of countless patients living inside his body, each organ a sentient individual..."

"Doctor, what are you talking about?!"

The doctor treating Ye Feng started talking complete nonsense, which left Qin Liangyu, who was standing to the side, stunned.

Just then, the iron door of the spaceship was pushed open, and several valiant guards dressed in flying fish suits strode in.

The head of the Imperial Guards, with long arms, a wasp waist, and mantis legs, wearing a mask of the ferocious beast Bi'an, grabbed the doctor by the collar. "How's this man?"

Upon seeing the man in the ferocious beast mask, the doctor's legs went weak, and he nearly knelt on the ground with a thud. "Commander, General, General's order! A dying man has made you all travel so far, I'm truly sorry..."

brush--

A smooth incision appeared on the doctor's neck, and his head rolled to the ground.

Beside him, a junior officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard slowly withdrew his left hand. The bio-liquefied embroidered spring blades on his left hand continuously melted away, and the bloodstains on the blades burned away with a hiss. The junior officer was expressionless, as if he had crushed an insignificant ant.

Qin Liangyu watched as the bio-liquid metal Embroidered Spring Blade transformed into the ordinary arm of a junior officer, her eyes narrowing. "The Western Depot! The Mechanical Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Beneath the mask of the Imperial Guard leader, his eyes remained calm. "General Qin, your mission is complete. Leave the rest to me."

Qin Liangyu's eyes were full of wariness. "Who are you?"

The head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard produced a waist tag that read, "Lu Jianxing, Centurion of the Mechanical Ascension Division, Western Depot, Western Garrison!"

Qin Liangyu looked at Ye Feng in the medical pod with a hint of reluctance in her beautiful eyes. "It's such a waste to take such a perfectly healthy person away and turn him into a robot!"

Lu Jianxing said, "Even if it's a pity, it's better than death. Besides, the current mechanical ascension engineering technology is quite mature. The number of mechanical ascension Jinyiwei in our Western Depot is already comparable to the combined number of the Northern, Southern, and Eastern Depots. If there is any regret about this technology, it is that there is no desire between men and women. But for the Jinyiwei, this is a good thing. They are more focused on assassination and immune to any female temptation."

Qin Liangyu said nothing more and took a few steps back.

Lu Jianxing gave a signal, and the other two junior officers skillfully came to the outside of Ye Feng's medical pod.

The two Imperial Guards each took a few steps back and raised their hands simultaneously. Their arms rapidly turned into liquid metal, and then the metal modules spread out wildly like dense and terrifying metal chains. In the blink of an eye, the entire medical pod was covered by a huge titanium alloy furnace-like reaction chamber.

Lu Jianxing said, "General Qin, please open the spaceship's energy interface."

Qin Liangyu spoke into her headset, "Open the spaceship's energy interface to the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

The two Imperial Guards each raised their other hand, which then mechanized into a metal prosthetic body that connected directly to the spaceship's power port.

The next moment, the spaceship's powerful reserve energy flowed into the Jinyiwei's body. The medical Jinyiwei activated the alloy healing furnace with a diameter of ten meters, and streams of reserve energy particles began to flow into Ye Feng's body from the wound on the back of his right hand.

Beep beep—Liquid metal nutrient delivery is normal.

Beep beep, no adverse cellular reactions were observed in the recipient's body.

*Beep beep* The other party's physique is perfectly suited for liquid metal modification, making them a near-perfect candidate for modification. The liquid metal absorption rate is extremely high, approaching 100%, with almost no energy leakage...

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianxing's eyes beneath his Bixie mask emitted a golden-red light. "One hundred percent liquid metal energy conversion rate, this, this, how is this possible? Even the current Commander's liquid energy conversion rate is only eighty percent. He can actually reach one hundred percent, unless this person is a carbon-titanium multi-element life form."

Qin Liangyu said, "Lord Lu Jianxing, the video recording I sent to the higher-ups..."

Lu Jianxing said, "We at the Northern Factory saw it and, according to the rules of the Northern Factory, intercepted it first."

Qin Liangyu asked, puzzled, "Intercepted? The address I sent it to was the Ministry of War, not your Embroidered Uniform Guard..."

Lu Jianxing interrupted Qin Liangyu: "The Ming Dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard supervises the patrols of the entire empire. We are only responsible to Baiyujing. Whether it is the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Personnel, we can act first and report later. This is a special permission granted by the emperor. This is the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Qin Liangyu was very unhappy, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

Qin Liangyu originally intended to send Ye Feng's battle achievements and videos to the Ministry of War so that Ye Feng could be commended and then pursue a military career.

However, the Embroidered Uniform Guards did not uphold martial ethics. They monitored all communications of the empire, and the moment one's own video was sent out, the Embroidered Uniform Guards would see it.

This is terrible!

Based on the battle video of Ye Feng and Mu, Ye Feng's physical cultivation foundation is extremely excellent, especially his final punch that pierced through the starry river, directly piercing through Mu's Corpse Throne, splitting heaven and earth in two, and causing the sun and moon to re-open.

The most intriguing thing is that the mechanical ascension project of the Embroidered Uniform Guard has extremely high requirements for physical constitution. The stronger a person's physique is after undergoing the modification, the stronger their mechanical ascension power will be!

With such physical strength, Ye Feng's future is unimaginable if he were to undergo mechanical modifications!

In fact, the Western Depot couldn't even wait for Ye Feng to land in Jinling City before taking action, directly dispatching a centurion to the border to intercept him ahead of time.

Lu Jianxing paced slowly, his voice low and imposing, "General Qin, as a woman from another race, has actually achieved such military exploits. I imagine she will rise rapidly in the future and become a high-ranking official on the border."

Qin Liangyu replied, "I dare not accept such praise, Lord Lu is too kind."

Lu Jianxing's eyes swept across Qin Liangyu's face. "General Qin is destined for great things, so you should know the rules of doing great things. The secret letter from the Western Depot shows that they value this person highly. They don't want too many people to know that someone defeated the Necromancer God Mu here. Therefore, you must keep Ye Feng's information a secret."

Qin Liangyu said, "I know, I won't say any more."

"Hmm," Lu Jianxing said, "Not only can ordinary people not speak, but even the Imperial Guards from the other factories cannot say much. Right now, the empire is in turmoil, with nobles fighting amongst themselves and foreign tribes encroaching on its territory. It is a time of great upheaval, but also a time when the empire needs capable people. It is all for the sake of the empire, all for the sake of His Majesty. Do you understand, sir?"

Qin Liangyu nodded and said, "Understood, please erase my memory, sir."

Lu Jianxing smiled slightly and gently tapped his waist, revealing an antique-looking embroidered spring knife on his belt.

Then, Lu Jianxing gripped the hilt of the Embroidered Spring Blade tightly with his right hand, and with a sudden pull, the Embroidered Spring Blade was drawn and sheathed at an extremely fast speed!

A bright flash of light, accompanied by a visible shockwave, shot out, piercing through the protective armor and striking the brains of almost everyone present.

Soon, Qin Liangyu's eyes cleared as she looked at the unfamiliar surroundings before her, about to ask a question.

Lu Jianxing said, "Since the Western Depot is handling this matter, General Qin, please excuse us."

Qin Liangyu didn't say much, turned around and left. Her memories of Ye Feng had been completely erased, not a trace remained.
