Above the Galaxy

You know what, Shen Xinglan actually buys into this.

One sentence made Shen Xinglan vomit blood.

Xing Lan, this child... still too straightforward.

Shen Boyu extends his left hand, a wave of azure light spreads out, enveloping Shen Xinglan's entire body.

A large amount of Yin Yang Power flows into Shen Xinglan's body, helping him adjust his qi, repairing his meridians.

Shen Xinglan feels his body languid, like soaking in warm seawater.

The chaotic qi rushing inside his body quickly stabilizes, calms down, thousands of streams return to the sea, and disperse again into countless tributaries, entering those dry meridians.

Even the pain in his chest dissipates significantly, as if it were someone else's ribs that broke.

Shen Xinglan closes his eyes, instantly becoming serene.

"Sharp-tongued." Shen Boyu looks at Tang Fei, says calmly, "Unfortunately, words can't change anything, fists can."

He doesn't regard Tang Fei highly.

Even though Tang Fei is already a Small Grandmaster, he's still a mere ant that can be crushed with ease.

Unfortunate that the ant doesn't know its fate is already sealed.

Exhausting himself, desperately struggling, is my fate mine to command, not heaven's?

Childish!

Tang Fei seemingly resigned, looks at Shen Boyu and says, "Before I die... I just want to ask you one question..."

"Oh?" Shen Boyu sizes up Tang Fei with interest, asks, "What do you want to know?"

"My father... Tang Li, did you capture him?"

"Such an old story..." Shen Boyu's face shows nostalgia, he says with deep emotion, "Using battle intent to nurture killing aura, advancing to Great Grandmaster through killing aura... given time, he would have been the number one in Star Sky Martial Arts... but alas, such a pity..."

"Tang Family was trapped in Phoenix City, he was restrained, without battle intent, that's why he fell to me..."

Tang Fei takes a deep breath.

So it's true.

Father was captured by this old rascal.

"One more question... Is Lu Yu still alive?"

"You might as well consider him dead."

"Is he really dead or alive?"

Shen Boyu's face shows displeasure, he says sternly, "Don't take me for an old fool, which number question is this?"

"I'm about to die... just answer this one question, let me die without regrets."

"Heh..." Shen Boyu sneers, "Why should I let you die without regrets?"

"..."

Old bastard, truly has a filthy heart.

Just like the public toilets at M3 night club.

All covered in the vomit of drunkards.

Wearing flying boots, Lu Siyu escapes to the shore, sees Tang Fei in danger, and rushes over without hesitation.

She doesn't know if it will be useful, but at this moment, she must come back.

If she doesn't save Tang Fei, no one will...

She flicks her hand, and a silver disc flies out.

Crunch crunch...

The silver disc unfolds in mid-air, section by section, transforming into a long, slender silver snake.

The silver snake swiftly charges at Shen Boyu, seemingly grows eyes, and bites his neck.

Clap!

Shen Boyu catches it mid-air.

The silver snake falls into his palm.

"Little girl, do you really think this can hurt me?"

With a gentle squeeze of his hand, the silver snake turns to ash, scattering in the wind.

Lu Siyu doesn't know Shen Boyu's Cultivation Realm, she only curses her Mechanical Beast for being so fragile, unable even to delay time or distract the enemy.

She still hoped the snake would create a chance for Tang Fei to escape.

She again reaches for her waist, presses a red button on her belt.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

Numerous tiny Mechanical Bees fly towards Shen Boyu.

These Mechanical Bees are fly-sized, numbering nearly a hundred.

Their main advantage is ease of carrying.

However, these Mechanical Bees are explosive bees, able to harass and automatically detonate when nearing the target.

Moreover, the explosion releases a lethal gas simultaneously.

Making them hard to defend against.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Though these Mechanical Bees are small and not as numerous as those on Lu Ban Mountain, overwhelming like a storm.

Gathering together, they still bring great intimidation.

That's referring to ordinary people.

For a Great Grandmaster...

They reach within three meters of the Great Grandmaster's presence, yet are unable to advance further.

As if there's an invisible qi wall blocking them ahead, rendering them immobile.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Buzz buzz buzz...

Shen Boyu flicked his sleeve, and those mechanical bees exploded in an instant.

Bang bang bang...

The sound was endless.

Even the thick smoke that spouted after the explosion was swept away by that powerful energy, leaving no trace.

This is the power of a Great Grandmaster.

This is also why everyone risks their lives to cultivate and break through boundaries...

Technology has developed to this extent, yet, when they encounter a real cultivator, there is still a sense of powerlessness akin to an ant trying to topple a tree with an egg.

Cultivators are protected by the Yin Yang Power, making them unapproachable and unharmed.

The mechanical bees were also destroyed.

Without any effort wasted.

Lu Siyu only felt her scalp tingle.

They had come with hidden identities, unable to bring too many mechanical weapons.

The mechanical snake was remade by her after she arrived at New Star, and those mechanical bees were remnants from the Lu Family...

She now didn't know what weapon to use to attack Shen Boyu.

Besides, attacking would be useless anyway.

It won't bring any substantial harm.

"A little girl from the Lu Family, right?" Shen Boyu smiled looking at Lu Siyu and said, "Just in time... capturing you can exchange for some good stuff from the Lu Family."

"Run quickly."

Tang Fei shouted.

To make his voice louder, he used all his energies, making himself flush with exertion.

This idiot...

Told her to run quickly, why did she come back again?

The one in front of you is a Great Grandmaster, bringing more is useless...

Upon hearing Tang Fei's words, Lu Siyu turned to flee using her flying boots.

Shen Boyu was unconcerned, as a few black shadows had already leaped into the sky from the shore, pursuing in the direction Lu Siyu fled.

"Alright..." Shen Boyu looked at Tang Fei and said, "It's over..."

"Everything is over."

It's over.

Whether Tang Fei's life.

Or this farce.

Tang Fei died.

The remaining members of the Tang Family were leaderless.

The alliance between the Qin and Lu families might also be severed because of this.

The Zhong Family was not to be worried about; the Shen Family could fully seize the empire, controlling the overall situation.

The Phoenix Empire should bear the surname Shen.

"Can you wait a bit longer?" Tang Fei asked humbly.

"???"

"I want to hear the bells from White Crane Mountain." Tang Fei said.

"Heh..."

Shen Boyu was almost amused.

Tang Fei was cornered at Fengming Palace by the Great Grandmaster Zhong Daoling; if Xuanyuan Mingjing hadn't rung the bell to save him, he would have long been strangled by Zhong Daoling's Bai Yujing.

Now, in his hands, he still hoped to hear the bells from White Crane Mountain again...

"Unfortunately, you're going to be disappointed."

"This is the East Sea... let alone if your master knows you escaped tonight..."

"Even if he did know... it's unlikely the bells from White Crane Mountain could reach here..."

"The bells can't be heard..."

A clear and cold voice descended from the sky, as if from the outer heavens.

"So I came personally."

The sound of the clouds tearing was like ten thousand ancient zithers simultaneously breaking strings.

A figure in white appeared intermittently among the vast black clouds, their white robe fluttering like an Immortal.

"Xuanyuan Mingjing..."

Shen Boyu's heart suddenly sank.

He looked up at the distant Tang Fei, sighed lightly, and said, "I talked too much today, and strangely gave you a chance to live..."

"Who doesn't have a powerful backing to rely on?" Tang Fei's face displayed his signature smile.

Bright, pure, harmless.

"Don't you understand yet?" Xuanyuan Mingjing looked towards Shen Boyu and asked solemnly.

"Understand what?"

"From the very beginning..." Xuanyuan Mingjing looked down on Shen Boyu from on high, loudly saying: "He was here for you."

"For me?"

Shen Boyu was greatly startled.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

He was not the oriole; Xuanyuan Mingjing was.

They intended to kill a Great Grandmaster.
