Starforce Warriors-Chapter 330: Star Shifting Reversal Technique

In the wilderness, at the ruins of the Eye of the Northwest. Edward dispersed the ice storm in his hand.

"Send a report to headquarters about the victory." He ordered the power armor communicator beside him. "Also, notify the four Blades of Verdict en route that they don’t need to come anymore. The matter here has been resolved."

"Understood, sir." The power armor responded.

But soon, there was a surprised exclamation, "Huh? Communication has been cut off... Our signal is being jammed. Sir, there are Mother of Fissures star beasts nearby. They’re blocking the entire area."

Edward was startled. Suddenly, an unprecedented sense of danger swept over him, making his hair stand on end.

The air in front of him seemed to twist and distort as the figure that had supposedly died... reappeared.

Li Xiaofei stood in the icy wasteland like a ghost. Edward’s pupils constricted in shock.

What is going on?

But there was no time for thought because in the next instant, Li Xiaofei attacked.

"Take this!" Li Xiaofei roared as he swung his sword down.

But instead of a blade aura, he unleashed sword energy that filled the heavens and earth. This wasn’t something that should belong to his current realm. The overwhelming burst of brilliant silver light that blotted out the sky was far beyond him. It was clearly the sword energy of the Golden Body Realm. This was Ye Liuying’s sword energy.

"Ye Liuying?!" Edward roared.

He was caught off guard but reacted with lightning speed as his battle-hardened instincts kicked in. Instead of launching an attack, he condensed a storm of energy into his palm, quickly transforming it into a layer of impenetrable black ice to cover his body.

Crack! Crack!

Ice shards exploded into the air the sword energy struck the ice. The protective ice formed by the Ice Age technique shattered instantly and the residual sword energy tore through Edward's body. However, the ice armor had absorbed over sixty percent of the impact, leaving him gravely injured but not fatally so.

As a Golden Body Realm expert, Edward's body possessed an extraordinary ability to heal. The powerful vitality within his cells had already begun mending the damage at a rapid pace.

Shaken, Edward looked up. What he saw shocked him even more. After unleashing that devastating sword strike, Li Xiaofei’s entire body was erupting with blood. Blood poured from his mouth and nose, and his body plummeted helplessly toward the ground.

Edward felt a brief moment of relief as he dismissed the idea of escaping. But then...

"Hee hee."

A soft, alluring voice echoed.

The sound had an almost magical quality, instantly conjuring images of past joys in Edward's mind. He saw the face of his long-lost love, Rachel, the bright girl who had once illuminated the darkest moments of his life. In his vision, she stood by the rose-covered fence of the schoolyard on a sunny day in early spring, wearing a white dress and smiling at him.

For a moment, Edward was completely entranced. Then, a sharp pain between his eyebrows shattered the beautiful illusion and yanked Edward back to reality. He was shocked to find the ethereal, elven-like girl who had been with Li Xiaofei the other night standing right in front of him. The index finger on her right hand was now dripping with blood.

That was his blood.

"Ah..."

The terror of death washed over Edward as the world around him began to lose its color. He thought he could faintly hear the voices of his squad members calling out to him. But their shouts grew distant and eventually faded into oblivion.

Boom!

Edward's body plummeted from the sky, crashing hard into the ground and leaving a deep crater.

Hu Yuer let out a long breath of relief. Her enchantment abilities had evolved significantly after her recent evolution. She could now not only manipulate human desire but also stir the deepest memories of her enemies, drawing them into either their most beautiful or terrifying recollections. This naturally caused them to lose awareness and let their guard down.

The severely injured Edward had not been able to escape her illusion.

Hu Yuer rushed toward a blood drenched Li Xiaofei, who was swaying unsteadily. Her concern was etched across her face as she asked, "How are you?"

"Not dead yet," Li Xiaofei coughed up a mouthful of blood. His voice was hoarse. "I can still manage tonight."

Hu Yuer looked at him admiringly. She gently licked his face and said, "You’re a miracle. How did you do it?"

"How?" Li Xiaofei smiled mysteriously. "That’s a secret."

The Star Shifting Reversal Technique had truly been underestimated. The Murong clan had barely scratched the surface of its true potential. Even Murong Longcheng, the creator of the technique, might not have fully realized its real utility.

After all, Murong Longcheng was merely a genius from the era of low martial arts. He wouldn’t be able to fathom the immense energy and abilities humanity possessed today, such as flying and manipulating the elements.

However, enduring the transformation of Golden Body Realm sword energy had been an incredibly difficult feat with a body that was only at the Five Spirits Realm.

Fortunately, Li Xiaofei's body had been strengthened by countless massages and medicinal baths from Little Aunt, dual cultivation sessions with Hu Yuer, and the enhancement of the Yi Jin Jing. Additionally, his recent progress in the Formless Sword Bone technique had toughened his bones just enough to withstand Ye Liuying’s soul-burning strike.

Even so, Li Xiaofei’s body had nearly been torn apart by the strain. As his breathing steadied, he focused on reining in the starforce qi coursing through him as he carefully sensed the surrounding energy.

The air was still thick with Ye Liuying’s lingering sword energy. This had been the key objective of his battle. By combining Spatial Point Theft and the Star Shifting Reversal Technique, Li Xiaofei had successfully created a scenario where, despite Ye Liuying being imprisoned within the Realm of Traces, there was now evidence of energy that was almost identical to her Golden Body Realm aura five hundred kilometers away.

This single feat would be enough to completely dismantle the Realm of Traces' justification for arresting Ye Liuying!

"Don't worry about me. Take care of the henchmen and get us out of here," Li Xiaofei commanded.

Hu Yuer flicked her fingers and summoned two Heaven's Mandate Silkworms. As they wriggled in her pale, jade-like hands, the battle armors in the sky began to malfunction, firing uncontrollably at one another. They unleashed torrents of gunfire, turning each other into fiery explosions that plummeted from the sky like falling stars.

Now that she had reached grade six, Hu Yuer had finally tamed the Heaven’s Mandate Silkworms and mastered their abilities. Even before dealing with Edward, she had discreetly planted silk threads from the silkworms inside the bodies of the other Realm of Traces agents. Now, eradicating the entire squad was a matter of a single thought.

She had learned from her mistakes, so Hu Yuer began to meticulously clean up the battlefield. She commanded hundreds of star beasts to scatter blood and waste across the area, carefully erasing traces of both her and Li Xiaofei. The beasts tore through the battlefield, destroying any remaining evidence.

Now, even the most skilled detectives would be hard-pressed to uncover any significant clues.

"Let's go." Hu Yuer helped support Li Xiaofei. "I'll take you back."

At this moment, her curiosity about Li Xiaofei had grown even stronger. There was even a faint trace of admiration stemming from the instincts of her Heavenly Fox lineage. An impossible situation had been effortlessly dealt with by Li Xiaofei, and in the process, Edward, a long-standing threat, had been eliminated. It was nothing short of a miracle.

The more Hu Yuer couldn't comprehend his methods, the more she respected him. She had admired him for his strength in more... intimate battles, but now, she truly acknowledged his intelligence and capability.

As Hu Yuer prepared to take flight with Li Xiaofei, her expression suddenly shifted. Li Xiaofei sensed it in the same moment. Four incredibly powerful presences were rapidly approaching from the southeast.

"Hide," he whispered.

The approaching group was clearly not friendly.
