"Eliminating the entire Star Beast clan with one person. Tsk tsk, regardless of how much truth there is in it, the people of Blue Sea shouldn't treat this child like this... Sigh, forget it. Old Qiao, this time I support you. Just stay at home, and see who can provoke you."
Qiao Guanzhai's isolated island residence had two more guests today.
Strictly speaking, it should be four.
Outside the main gate, there were two corpses, one dressed in the attire of the Federal Supreme Parliament and the other in the uniform of a Presidential Special Envoy. They were still warm, with no signs of blood. Their eyes were wide open, as if they couldn't believe that they, such esteemed figures, could be killed in an instant without a word.
The three elders inside the house paid no attention to the deaths of the Supreme Parliament member and the Presidential Special Envoy.
It was as if only two small mice had died.
"Old Yu, stop stirring up trouble," one of the old men said, picking up a set of photos and looking at them for a long time before speaking. "Satellites don't lie, and the photos haven't been tampered with. The extermination of the Ban Tu Xiong clan in seven days can't be false. Old Yu, you travel the most and have the most experience. Do you think this child could have done it alone?"
Qiao Banzhai, Su Yuanliu, and Yu Shangyang.
The three elders of Blue Sea.
Their names were well-known throughout the entire Azure Star Alliance. In the Blue Sea Federation, there had been no more than three matters in all these years that required the three of them to handle together. The final battle of the Shallow Sea War, the疯狂暗杀 of the rebel army Longtu... Apart from these two events, there was nothing else on Blue Sea that required their combined efforts. Today, Qiao Banzhai called his two old friends: "I need your help."
"Sure, if you had the skill of 'infinite stamina,' you could easily exterminate them," Yu Shangyang said seriously.
"Old Yu, I don't have time for jokes," Su Yuanliu said irritably.
"I'm not joking," Yu Shangyang said earnestly. "The Ban Tu Xiong is one of the three major pests on Iron Shavings Star. Do you think it's that easy to kill them? Are the eight kings of Iron Shavings Star fools? Old Su, countless mercenaries have wanted to take on this mission, and countless armies have tried. The Ban Tu Xiong are not stupid; they would definitely run away when faced with an unbeatable army. No matter how many casualties, they would retreat to their burrows and deep mountains for a few years, and their numbers would recover."
Qiao Banzhai nodded slightly.
The Star Beasts all have a certain level of intelligence. If a strong person like himself were to attack, they would likely put up some resistance and then scatter.
Warriors weaker than himself would be sent to their deaths if they tried to hunt them.
"Old Yu, I've traveled to countless places and heard countless strange stories. But I've never heard of a gene called 'infinite stamina' or 'infinite mana.' I don't know how many Ban Tu Xiong this child killed, but it's hard to believe he did it alone. If a legion did it, I would believe it even less. They would have fled long ago and wouldn't have fought to the death against such an obvious bait," Yu Shangyang said, with a look of 'this is unsolvable.'
Su Yuanliu's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.
Indeed.
This is unsolvable.
The military analysts have pulled out countless strands of hair and still can't come up with a reliable answer.
Hunting a Star Beast clan... slaughtering them is easy; exterminating them is impossible.
Once they realize the situation is unfavorable, they will definitely scatter to save their lives, and they will always have their escape routes prepared. No matter how many armies hunt them, they can only kill a part. Even if 99% of the Star Beasts are killed, they can recover their numbers and form a new force after a few years or decades.
This time, they died so cleanly, it's indeed unsolvable.
"Instead of discussing this meaningless question, let's talk about the real matter. Old Qiao, you didn't call us here just for tea, right?" Yu Shangyang asked.
"No, I need your help," Qiao Banzhai lowered his stance, and the two elders were slightly surprised.
"Old Qiao, don't be so formal, speak your mind," Yu Shangyang said solemnly.
Qiao Banzhai nodded and said, "The changes in the Silver Leaf Group are significant, I'm sure you know. You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so I don't know how to describe it. Before he left, Li Wenfu said he wanted to end this dirty rule. He didn't seem to be saying it in anger."
Upon hearing these words, Old Su and Old Yu fell silent.
This reaction... is another 'Longtu' about to be born?
"Du Xiaonan is unlikely to return, but Li Wenfu is different. Gun Star is a pirate planet, and no one can leave, but that's only a lie to ordinary people. With the Li family's wealth, they can easily hire a pirate to safely bring Li Wenfu back," Qiao Banzhai said, his eyes slightly darkening.
Yu Shangyang nodded.
Although he was one of the three elders of Blue Sea, he was also a space traveler.
The scoundrels on Gun Star, as long as they have money and minerals, would sell their own fathers and sons.
"Magicians grow very quickly, often at an incredible speed. The next time, if Li Wenfu can return, Blue Sea will have a major event. Lu Sheng, Yin Ling, Li Yinzhu... and the most unimaginable Ye Binghua, if they reach a certain level and return to Blue Sea, this place will be lively," Qiao Banzhai said with a bitter smile.
"Old Qiao, this isn't like you. You're not asking us to go and eliminate these little fools, are you?" Yu Shangyang said with a hint of disdain, thinking that his old friend's character had changed and he wanted to deal with a group of children.
"Quite the opposite. I'm begging you today to go to Gun Star and watch over those children, to make sure no one harms them," Qiao Banzhai sighed and said slowly, "For years, a storm has been brewing. We've seen some signs, but we can't find anything. If something bad happens to Blue Sea, these children might be the last spark of hope."
"Why do you value them so much and not go yourself?" Yu Shangyang was relieved that his old friend hadn't changed.
"I'm waiting."
Qiao Banzhai looked at the stars in the sky: "I'm old and can't move. When I die, it will be on Blue Sea. I'll wait for the storm to come, and I'm also waiting for someone, a child who swore to avenge his master."
"Can he come back?" Yu Shangyang didn't believe it. Iron Shavings Star is not Gun Star. If the people there could be bought, there would be no criminals in this world.
Those scoundrels are ten thousand times more troublesome than the revolutionary army.
"Feels like it," Qiao Banzhai recalled Du Nan's appearance that day, and indeed had that feeling.
That day.
That child's expression... if I weren't there, he would have really gone on a killing spree.
"Do you want to deal with him personally?" Su Yuanliu was a bit puzzled. Old Qiao doesn't seem like that kind of person.
"Sigh, yes and no," Qiao Banzhai sighed, and today might be the day he sighed the most in decades. "If he comes back and has no ability to avenge, I must step in to take him away, protect his life, and send him to a place where Blue Sea's influence can't reach. If I'm not there, he will surely die. The Tang and Wu families won't let him go."
"If he's strong, you'll have to fight him because you're a veteran of Blue Sea," Yu Shangyang's face was strange.
"The veteran's body is still alive, the empire cannot fall," Qiao Banzhai nodded helplessly, looking resigned.
The noble families want to kill Du Nan, and he will do his best to save him. Du Nan wants to undermine the foundation of Blue Sea's rule, and he will do his best to stop him... This is the veteran of Blue Sea. No matter how contradictory, he has dedicated his life to this land. He wants to protect the most valuable geniuses and let them grow up safely; he also wants to protect the ordinary people and let them live in peace. Whether the foundation of Blue Sea's rule is good or bad, he can't control it; if others rebel, he can't let the people of Blue Sea suffer together.
Yu Shangyang understood, and Su Yuanliu also understood.
They are also veterans, though not as old as Qiao Banzhai.
"To be honest, do you hope he comes back stronger or more impulsive and ignorant?" Yu Shangyang suddenly asked.
"Maybe, stronger is better," Qiao Banzhai's eyes sparkled, and there was a strong fighting spirit. If a veteran is to complete the last journey of life, he hopes a strong person will see him off, not a large number of mechs. If the saplings of Blue Sea are to grow, he hopes they become towering trees, not beautiful but useless flowers.
"I can't help you for now," Su Yuanliu said with a slight sigh. "My disciple, Jin Ling, is about to fuse with the core of a six-star ice bird. I need to watch carefully. Old Yu, please take care of Li Wenfu."
Yu Shangyang nodded: "Alright. Congratulations, Old Su. That child is a monster, from one to six in four years?"
"It's not successful yet," Su Yuanliu couldn't hide his pride.
"Magicians... the growth of geniuses is truly fast," Yu Shangyang said softly, and the two elders nodded slightly, feeling old. Li Qifeng reached the Gold Five-star level in less than five years; Jin Ling is about to reach the Diamond Six-star level in less than four years. Thinking about the Silver Leaf Group, in a few years, they will also soar to the peak and fight life and death with us, the veterans of Blue Sea?
The Eight Master Clans talk about not destroying the city walls, but what they are actually doing is destroying them.
At this moment.
On Iron Shavings Star.
Du Nan stood amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, his arms spread wide, like an eagle about to fly.
Within a ten-mile radius.
An energy that ordinary people couldn't sense was gathering like a vortex, flowing towards this body that was beginning to show its ferocity. These energies were attracted by some strange force, sweeping in. Du Nan's body was like a bottomless pit, absorbing everything without a trace.
After a long time.
Du Nan suddenly opened his eyes, and a fierce aura surged out.
Blood and flesh were instantly blown away by the shockwave, splattering everywhere, turning the entire mountain into a bloody red world.
"Body Technique, Level Six."
Du Nan whispered softly, a slight smile on his lips. At this moment, he finally understood the strongest effect of the 'Bloodline Enhancement' from the divine artifact fragments. Repairing genetic defects, enhancing physical attributes, improving various functions, and strengthening organs... these were all secondary. When he killed the first Star Beast and accidentally沾染了尸体的鲜血,无意中吸收了它剩余的微弱能量。
那一刻,杜南知道自己‘不败’了。
一头又一头的斑屠熊倒在面前,一丝又一丝的尸体余能被吸收……他整整屠杀了七天七夜,完全不需要停手休息一秒钟。越杀,自己越强大;越杀,自己越精神。后来连六星阶的斑屠熊,也被自己活活累垮累死了。此时尸体满山,星兽全灭……它们基数庞大,剩余的微弱能量汇流成海。
最终将自己半成熟的‘神躯’更进一步,踏入体术六重的境界。
“是血液吗?”
杜南平伏体内磅礴的能量,此时还没完全融纳全部的余能。三枚神器碎片吸收后存放了起来,并不想爆谷主人的身体。这时杜南感觉到有危险人物靠近,都是超级强者,而且不止一个,只听轻柔的声音再响起:“小哥,是血液对吧?人不可能拥有无限体力,是你能通过星兽的血液吸收了残余能量,对吗?”
杜南微微一震。
满是血腥的山地,马上有杀气贯冲天际。
