Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 67 The Warrior Who Is No Longer Confused

Lin Xiufeng absorbed the vast majority of the Heavenly Martial Power from Lü Zirui's Heavenly Martial Heart.

But it's much less than Meilin's, only one floor more than Lin Xiufei's.

It's likely that Lu Zirui's original accumulation was far less than Elder Meilin's, and Zhao Youyue had already absorbed a considerable amount of it.

Later, he unleashed his full power, becoming unstoppable, and escaped from Zhao Youyue's sword.

It was unstoppable; it burned away a layer of Heavenly Martial Power in a second. No one knew how much it had consumed at the time.

Lin Xiufei's Heavenly Martial Power accumulated through his Heavenly Martial Heart has reached forty-seven levels.

This is not a big gain.

More importantly, Lin Xiufeng was unwilling to let Lü Zirui go!

Lin Xiufeng checked Lu Zirui's small backpack and found that it was empty, without even a morsel of food inside.

There was only one wooden box containing three wooden tubes, also filled with Yonghe bone powder, clearly indicating that it was used to cultivate acupoints in the hands.

The bag also contains a miniature robot; it's powered, but locked.

In addition, there is a family photo.

Lin Xiufeng glanced at it, sighed silently, wrapped it in a waterproof plastic bag, and buried it next to the well.

Lu Zirui has been apprehended. Lin Xiufeng gazes at the rain, his thoughts on Zhao Youyue's situation...

The rain grew heavier and heavier, becoming like the torrential downpour at the beginning of a rainy year, washing away the dust and debris.

Lin Xiufeng raced through the heavy rain, and as he crossed the ninth mountain outside the village, he heard a loud laugh through the rain.

Immediately following were shouts of surprise.

"Fang Yuan! I'm luckier than you! I have eight-star Heavenly Martial Power!"

Lin Xiufeng was overjoyed and silently did some calculations.

Renxing initially killed over thirty Heavenly Martial Souls outside the village, increasing his Heavenly Martial Power by about one level.

Previously, when he fought with Meilin and Lü Zirui, he recklessly said that he had absorbed six layers, when there were a total of seven layers.

In other words, it would take eliminating thirty to fifty or more people who had turned the world upside down to accumulate enough for the eighth level.

'Zhao Youyue is incredibly efficient, how did she do that?'

When Lin Xiufeng rushed over to the sound, he saw five Heavenly Martial Souls with their hands and feet cut. They were lying on the ground, trying their best to move their limbs, but they could not move very fast at all.

'So, her Heavenly Martial Soul's mobility has been crippled, leaving her completely at Fang Yuan and his capricious hands... Can she handle that?'

Upon seeing people approaching, the five immobile, overturned men hurriedly shouted:

"Boy, hurry and go report this to Fantian! You'll get a reward!"

"Once we catch those two women, we'll beat them senseless and then let you have your fill of fun!"

"Go now! Anyone who doesn't help is an enemy of Fantian, and offending Fantian means certain death!"

"Handsome guy, please help me out. I'll protect you if you join Fantian in the future."

Lin Xiufeng could only express his speechlessness.

These five people were clearly so desperate that they lost all sense of reason.

Lin Xiufeng searched for Zhao Youyue's figure—

Under a tree, Zhao Youyue stood pale-faced, staring blankly at the struggling enemies.

Fang Yuan stood behind those people, his feet enveloped in blue celestial martial power, which, judging from its concentration, was supplied by approximately two star caves.

Upon seeing Lin Xiufei, Fang Yuan took the initiative to say:
"I've broken through to the Seven Star Heavenly Martial Power. Captain, go check on the Vice Captain."

Lin Xiufeng learned that Fang Yuan had also eliminated about thirty to fifty members of the Fantian Organization.

"Congratulations." Lin Xiufeng walked straight towards Zhao Youyue.

Zhao Youyue seemed to suddenly snap out of her daze, staring intently at Lin Xiufeng, and said in a wooden tone:

"I caught up with them first... When Fang Yuan and Ren Xing arrived, there was a huge expanse of it on the hillside, stretching from here to there..."

"They're all human, and I've severed all their tendons. They're all struggling to move..."

"They cried out, begged for forgiveness, admitted their mistakes, and repented."

"Then came the cursing, the heart-wrenching sobs..."

"They're all damned people, they're all damned enemies..."

As Zhao Youyue spoke, she suddenly buried her face in Lin Xiufei's shoulder and burst into tears, unable to suppress her emotions.

"They're all those damned bastards from the Overturning Heaven Organization!"

"I did nothing wrong!"

"But, but..."

Zhao Youyue cried, her voice choked with sobs.

"But—why do I feel so bad! Why am I trembling for no reason!" Lin Xiufeng didn't say anything, just quietly let Zhao Youyue hold her, let her cry and vent her emotions.

After all, dealing ruthlessly to one or two enemies is quite different from dealing with this many.

The experience is even worse when so many people are struggling in front of you, only to be killed one by one by Fang Yuan and Ren Xing.

Lin Xiufeng had similar feelings when he was helping the willful Tianwu Po outside the village.

It's just not as intense as Zhao Youyue's.

He chatted and joked around with the capricious person at the time, and also mediated on his own, so he quickly processed it on his own.

Renxing suddenly rushed over and stopped abruptly in front of Fangyuan, where he saw the five still alive.

Seeing how others were killed, the five men knew that begging for mercy was useless, and three of them struggled to move in fear.

Two others resorted to threats and intimidation, likely because they were used to using others' power to intimidate them.

"Release us, and we'll pretend we know nothing about what happened today! Otherwise, we'll offend Fantian, and if we capture you, even if you're a Heavenly Martial Artist, you'll suffer a fate worse than death!"

"Do you know Bing Yuyu? She offended Fantian and was beaten so badly that she only has a sliver of her Heavenly Martial Power left. She's locked up in Fantian City, at the mercy of everyone, wishing for death but unable to live! I advise you to think carefully about the consequences of offending Fantian!"

Hearing this, Renxing's murderous intent intensified, and he shouted, "Are you going to kill these five?"

Lin Xiufeng didn't turn her head, but raised her hand.

Fang Yuan stopped Ren Xing and said in a low voice, "I'll do it."

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Renxing pushed him aside, grabbed the broken horn of the wolf, and plunged it into the tops of both of their heads.

Renxing gestured to Fangyuan, took the broken corner he handed over, and plunged into the two helpless members of the Fantian team.

He recklessly did not use the power of the Heavenly Martial Soul in order to absorb more Heavenly Martial Power.

She used only her fists to strike the last one, one blow at a time.

As she smashed, she looked up at the surrounding area.

Blood splattered on her face, then washed away by the torrential rain, splattered again, and washed away again...

"Fang Yuan, you're just like the deputy commander and the commander, always overthinking things. Let me handle this kind of thing, so you don't end up as lost and confused as the deputy commander."

"When you pity these bastards, you treat them like human beings! But when these bastards do inhuman things, are they treated like human beings?"

"Those bastards who got us in here, are they even human? The scum who turned the world upside down is even worse than those few bastards!"

"Why do they deserve sympathy?!"

"Aren't these demons the ones who made us ruthless!"

"This is the retribution they deserve!"

"I'm different from you. The more they kill, the better I sleep, because there are fewer scoundrels harming people!"

Zhao Youyue listened and stopped crying...

She watched as the willful man relentlessly rained down blows.

Watching the four people disappear after being pierced by the broken horn and losing all their Heavenly Martial Power.

These willful words had a truly wake-up call for Zhao Youyue!

Many things that were already seen or remembered were suddenly awakened, and through this experience, they became insights etched into our understanding.

All the negative emotions that had been lingering in her mind and body just moments before vanished without a trace!
Lin Xiufeng sensed Zhao Youyue's emotional change and added:

"This is not Tianlan Star. The Tianwu Group and the three major organizations can be regarded as different countries. Those without organizations are just small countries."

"The struggle for position is a life-or-death national war, and we are all warriors fighting for our position of survival."

"On the battlefield, killing the enemy should only bring applause and honor."

"This is a moment to be proud of. You have done what the Heavenly Martial Corps has been doing."

"You used a brilliant method to take down more than a hundred Tianwu Souls who had escaped from the Tianfan Organization."

"You helped two companions accumulate Heavenly Martial Power easily and quickly, and successfully broke through to become Heavenly Martial Warriors."

Fang Yuan noticed the change in Zhao Youyue's demeanor and called out loudly in a sincere tone:
"Deputy Commander! Thank you for your help!"

He turned his head and saw the smile gradually spreading across Zhao Youyue's face, and couldn't help but shout happily:

"That's more like it! We should be happy! We're a four-day martial arts group now, so let's—kill anyone who dares to turn the tide!"

Zhao Youyue's gaze was firm, and she shouted with a rousing tone: "Slay the Heavens—slaughter them all!"

Just as Lin Xiufeng was about to shout something to cheer everyone up, Renxing suddenly rushed over and asked Zhao Youyue:
"Want to go together?"

"Let's go!" Zhao Youyue agreed, and the two of them rushed forward.

Lin Xiufeng asked Fang Yuan, guessingly, "Are there other people who can turn the world upside down?"

"The deputy commander said that quite a few had escaped, but she didn't chase after them."

Seeing that Lin Xiufeng didn't intend to follow, Fang Yuan stood with him under the tree and waited.
