Starforce Warriors-Chapter 359: Met A Saint

There were no lights in the study. The students stood outside, trembling with fear. Su Yuncao had been sitting in the darkened study for three hours.

During those three hours, he made countless phone calls, reaching out to numerous people. But the responses he received caused his faint glimmer of hope to sink deeper and deeper.

Many old friends didn’t pick up the phone. Many of his former students could only offer bitter smiles as they claimed they were powerless to help. It was only then that Su Yuncao realized that the Special Operations Academy, backed by Army Headquarters, was taking an extremely firm stance. There would be no compromises to make.

He sat there in the dark, fully aware that darkness was about to engulf him as well. He had always known Chen Fei had a military background. In fact, Su Yuncao had thoroughly investigated Chen Fei before proceeding. It was only after confirming that Chen Fei posed no immediate threat that he had gone ahead with his plan.

This sort of maneuver was nothing new to him. He had done it many times before. But this time, he had kicked a steel plate. Chen Fei’s military background was far beyond what he had expected.

Now, as Su Yuncao simmered in rage and fear, a troubling question began to gnaw at him: what exactly had Chen Fei done in the past? Or more accurately, what made him so exceptional that, after more than a decade away, the military still needed him, and welcomed him back with the rank of major upon his return?

Knock, knock, knock.

"Come in."

"Teacher, are you... alright?"

"I'm fine. Get the private jet ready. We’ll depart in three hours."

"Understood, Teacher. I'll take care of it right away."

His most trusted student hurried to make the arrangements. Meanwhile, Su Yuncao slowly made his way to the balcony of the study. His gaze drifted toward the slum.

To think I would be made to look so pitiful, without any consequences in return.

A cruel smile spread across his face.

Impossible.

He vanished from the balcony, and reappeared above the slum in mere moments. Looking down from the sky, his eyes locked onto the headquarters of the Cloudy Sky Gang. Then he descended.

Whoosh!

He fell like a leaf toward the ground, but the group inside the hall, Li Xiaofei, Xie Renyu, and Hu Yuer, all felt something. They immediately stood up and turned their attention outside. Xiao Bidao, meanwhile, grabbed a roasted leg of lamb, mentally preparing for a quick escape.

Bang!

The hall doors were blown open. Outside, the disciples of the Cloudy Sky Gang stood frozen like statues. They were completely immobilized under the oppressive force of a Dao Union Realm master.

"Old Su, what... what is the meaning of this?" Xie Renyu forced a smile, trying to defuse the situation.

He sensed the danger immediately. But Su Yuncao didn’t even spare him a glance. His eyes were locked on Li Xiaofei. In that instant, Li Xiaofei felt a cold chill down his spine.

This is bad.

In his carelessness, he hadn’t considered this possibility. Su Yuncao, the old dog, had decided to go all out and throw caution to the wind. Who could stand against a Dao Union Realm master, filled with murderous intent?

"Had your fill?" Su Yuncao sneered, his lips curling into a cruel smile as he felt the terror gripping those in the hall. "Good. Then it’s time to head to the afterlife."

A faint cyan qi thread suddenly lashed through the air. It sliced through chairs and tables. The floor cracked open, the ceiling split, and the chandelier was neatly bisected. But the qi thread had reached the table even before the lights flickered.

This is bad!

Li Xiaofei reacted instantly as he threw himself to the side.

Shhh!

A lock of black hair flew into the air. Li Xiaofei touched his temple, where a piece of his hair had been sliced clean off.

"Watch out!" Xiao Bidao’s startled shout rang out.

Li Xiaofei immediately used Graceful Step of the Waves to move. However, the qi thread didn’t disappear. Instead, it split into two and turned back toward him in a vicious arc.

A Golden Body Realm cultivator couldn’t afford to face even a single strand of qi from a Dao Union Realm expert head on. Despite his strong physique, Li Xiaofei knew instinctively that he couldn’t withstand it.

The qi thread sliced through the illusion of Li Xiaofei left behind, further wrecking the already chaotic hall. It briefly paused in front of Su Yuncao before splitting into four and returning once again.

"Cut down this bastard!" Li Junjie leaped into action as he swung a blade down on Su Yuncao in a desperate attempt to divert his attention.

But Su Yuncao didn’t move an inch. He simply exhaled lightly.

Boom!

While still midair, Li Junjie’s heart was crushed by the invisible force. It passed clean through his body, tearing out of his back. His body exploded into a cloud of crimson mist. His limp form crashed to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth and nose.

"Junjie!" Li Xiaofei roared in rage and despair as he rushed over.

"Don’t... don’t worry about me, boss... Run," Li Junjie gasped with his final breath. His head fell to the side, and his body lay motionless in a pool of blood.

Su Yuncao exhaled again. Hundreds of qi threads materialized as they trapped everyone inside a meticulous cage. Slowly, the threads began to close in, like the steady footsteps of death approaching.

"The moments before death will make you regret everything you've ever done," Su Yuncao declared like a god. "Now, begin your repentance. Beg for my merciful forgiveness, and only then will you receive a painless death."

But in the next moment...

Zzz... Zzz...

A strange crackling sound filled the air. The invincible qi threads began to dissipate like smoke in the wind, vanishing one by one. Soft footsteps echoed through the room.

Li Xiaofei’s eyes widened in astonishment as he turned toward the door. The scarred blind woman slowly walked into the room with the night sky at her back.

Wherever she walked, the oppressive force of the Dao Union Realm vanished into thin air. The disciples of the Cloudy Sky Gang, who had been paralyzed under the immense pressure, suddenly gasped for breath as if waking from a nightmarish slumber.

Su Yuncao felt a surge of immense danger. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he turned to face the blind woman, who continued to walk toward him.

He knew of her. She was clearly mentioned in Li Xiaofei’s file as his greatest weakness. She was a pitiable healer who was skilled with herbs, but that was all. But looking at the woman approaching him who seemed devoid of any human warmth or emotion, Su Yuncao felt his own Dao Union Realm pressure melting away like snow under a blazing sun. No matter how much he tried to summon his inner qi, it was useless.

"You..." Su Yuncao was gripped by a deep, primal fear.

The blind woman in front of him radiated no visible energy, yet he felt his will to fight evaporating. This kind of fear, one that gnawed at his very soul, was beyond anything even a Transcendence Realm cultivator could cause. Only a Saint could inspire such terror.

Saint Realm! She is a hidden Saint?!

Thud!

Su Yuncao dropped to his knees.

"I... I greet the Saint..." His voice trembled, like a helpless owl scorched by the sun, unable to bear the brightness before him.
