Above the Galaxy-Chapter 586 - 361: Did This Even Disturb the Phoenix Palace?_3

How could a living person not have vital energy?

How could one cultivate without vital energy?

If you cannot find your opponent’s vital energy, there’s only one reason.

You are weaker than him.

Only the strong can conceal their vital energy; the weak cannot.

"Could he really be stronger than me?"

The thought involuntarily surfaced in Qin Jianyi’s mind.

Unable to lock onto the vital energy, he could not find a target to attack.

It was like launching missiles aimlessly into the vast ocean where no submarines or warships appear on your radar.

After a moment of panic, Qin Jianyi steadied his mind and devoted all his effort to deliver this sword strike.

This strike, once started, could not be taken back.

Crack!

Flowers and leaves fell; all grass withered.

With one sword strike, it seemed as though spring had left the human world.

In the blink of an eye, where the Sword Qi reached, it turned from summer to autumn.

Under the pressure of the Sword Qi, Tang Fei finally revealed his true form.

His hair stood on end, and his clothes were torn to shreds by the Sword Qi, leaving countless cuts all over his body. The sight was horrifying.

But the twig in his hand...

No, the sharp sword was plunged into Qin Jianyi’s chest.

Qin Jianyi looked down at the sword in his chest with a face full of astonishment and disbelief.

After a long while, he finally uttered, "What is the name of this sword?"

"Life’s End," Tang Fei replied.

This sword was not a recent revelation but emerged back when he and Shen Xinglan were exploring the Burial Land and encountered the hunt of Grandmaster Fen Kuai.

At the brink of life and death, this sword appeared.

"Just hearing its name, one can sense its fierce nature," Qin Jianyi said with a bitter smile. "No turning back, survival follows despair."

"This time, you win again."

"Come with me," Tang Fei said.

"Who dares to touch my general?!"

At the command of the guard captain, numerous Flame-Bathed Soldiers quickly gathered.

Their weapons gleamed with silver light, each barrel pointing towards Tang Fei and the restless Little Fatty.

Tang Fei looked at Qin Jianyi, his face wearing an ambiguous smile.

Qin Yijian sighed softly and said, "I lost the wager, I’ll go back with you."

He turned to the guard captain and commanded in a stern voice: "Guard squad, return to base immediately without any delay."

"General."

"Chen Ping, are you refusing to obey orders?" Qin Jianyi rebuked loudly.

"I dare not," Chen Ping responded loudly, his eyes wide open.

"Follow the orders."

"Yes." Chen Ping saluted Qin Jianyi, waving his hand and shouted: "Return to base."

Being the captain of the guard squad and having lost his own general...

This incident would likely become the laughingstock of the army, even the Internal Affairs Force wouldn’t let him off easily.

Yet, he had no choice.

As a proud Flame-Bathed Soldier, military orders were absolute.

Once the Star Disc carrying the guard squad members departed, Qin Jianyi calmly looked towards Tang Fei and said, "Director Tang, I am now your prisoner. Where do we go next?"

Tang Fei felt somewhat awkward; he had just secretly sent a message to Shen Yan to hurry over and collect the person...

He didn’t have a car; surely he couldn’t take Qin Jianyi by taxi or driverless car?

After all, Qin Jianyi came in an exclusive Star Disc...

"Wait," Tang Fei said neutrally, "a Monitoring Bureau car is on its way."

"Oh." Qin Jianyi nodded his head and stopped talking.

He lowered his head, examining the twig in his chest as if pondering how such a weak and powerless little thing could penetrate his flesh.

"Shall I help you pull it out?" Tang Fei kindly asked.

After all, one should keep their word and show some goodwill after agreeing to stay.

Having such a large branch stuck in the chest wasn’t very appealing.

"No need," Qin Jianyi refused, saying, "Losers... should receive some punishment."

"..."

------

Qin Jianyi was captured.

The Monitoring Bureau made another move, taking away Qin Family’s direct descendant, Qin Jianyi.

March Seven Stars, Sky Wolf General, the youngest Corps Commander...

Qin Jianyi was a prominent figure in the Phoenix Empire, and among the best of the younger generation.

Before Tang Fei arrived, everyone liked to compare Qin Jianyi with Shen Xinglan.

Although Shen Xinglan was recognized as the foremost among the younger generation, if someone wanted to attack Shen Xinglan, they would bring up Qin Jianyi for comparison.

After all, Shen Xinglan followed the path of supreme Martial Arts, while Qin Jianyi not only had astonishing Martial Arts talent but also had distinguished military achievements, described by the former Military Minister Fu Qing as a "brilliant commander."

Because of his status as a military officer, Qin Jianyi’s supporters were nearly as numerous as Shen Xinglan’s.

Among those slightly older, he was even more esteemed.

After all, a noble-born warrior willing to venture through fire is worth everyone’s praise.

At some point, Tang Fei replaced Qin Jianyi as the one who competed against Shen Xinglan.

Perhaps it was because Tang Fei and Shen Xinglan both fancied the same woman, or because they shared the same master, or perhaps it was because Qin Jianyi deliberately kept a low profile and dived deep into the military...

Now, Qin Jianyi had returned, only to be taken away again by Tang Fei.

The battle between Tang Fei and Qin Jianyi was watched by countless people on the scene, and others shot or live-streamed it.

Thus, even before the battle ended, the entire network was boiling. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In a beautiful broadcaster named "Three Sheep’s" room, the live viewership numbers even surpassed forty million.

"Does Tang Fei have a problem? What right does he have to take Qin Jianyi away? Qin Jianyi is a military man... Does he understand that this is insubordination?"

"Qin Jianyi is my idol... My heart aches for my idol..."

"Tang Fei is from the Monitoring Bureau, and the Monitoring Bureau has the authority to supervise officials... including military officers who violate laws and disciplines..."

"Friends, have you noticed? Why does Tang Fei always target the Seven Stars? The Seven Stars are almost diminished to Five Stars by him..."

"Didn’t you hear? He wants to be the only Sun..."

"Tang Fei? Is he worthy? Has Shen Xinglan spoken yet?"

"I’m just curious, when will Tang Fei deal with Shen Xinglan?"

------

Tang Fei had just returned to the Monitoring Bureau when he received a call from Director Yan Wenli.

This time he didn’t go through the secretary but called directly on his mobile.

"Come to my office," Yan Wenli’s voice carried no emotion, making it hard for Tang Fei to discern his stance on the matter.

"Okay, Director, I’ll be right there."

Tang Fei hung up the phone and said to Shen Yan, "Take General Qin downstairs to rest... He’s injured, get someone to take care of his wounds."

After speaking, he walked towards the door.

He took a few steps, then turned back and instructed, "There’s no need to follow the usual procedures right now.

According to the rules of the Monitoring Bureau, whether right or wrong, since he’s here, the procedure must be followed first.

If you’re stubborn, the process is quite troublesome.

If you’re submissive, the process is relatively simple.

The Monitoring Bureau’s black-room, specializing in handling the uncooperative.

In case these guys mistakenly think I have a grudge against Qin Jianyi and torment him to death...

It would not be conducive to the negotiations to follow."

"Yes, Director," Shen Yan nodded in response.

Tang Fei waved his hand and quickly walked towards the Director’s office.

He stood at the door of the Director’s office and knocked. A hoarse voice from inside said, "Come in."

Tang Fei pushed the door open and entered with a flattering smile, "Director, you wanted to see me?"

Yan Wenli grabbed the hat on the table and placed it neatly on his head, stood up, and said, "It’s not me who wants to see you, it’s the King. Let’s go to the Phoenix Palace."

"Is it just because I captured Qin Jianyi that it has alarmed the Phoenix Palace?" Tang Fei asked.
