Starforce Warriors

Chapter 211: Paralyzed

Du Hongfei burst into laughter. "This old dog took a million star coins from me. Naturally, he’s going to do my bidding."

Miao Youwei responded, "Uncle Liang, I won’t hold anything against you for what happened earlier. I’ll give you two million if you throw them out."

Uncle Liang sighed heavily and said, "Madam, I know your principles. Once trust is broken, it can’t be mended. Your money is too hot to handle, and there\'s no turning back for me... Besides, I’ve always been a servant of the Du family. I can’t stand by and watch as Miss Du Juan calls an outsider Papa."

Miao Youwei scoffed. "You were there when the old master said on his deathbed that Little Du Juan could choose whether or not to recognize her stepfather if I remarried. You saw and heard it yourself."

Uncle Liang looked pained. "The old master was confused in his final moments. I can’t acknowledge those words."

Miao Youwei\'s voice grew colder. "I’ve never treated you poorly."

Uncle Liang\'s expression hardened. "Madam, stop stalling. I’ve already sent your other bodyguards away. It will take them at least an hour to return, and those who didn’t comply were dealt with by Young Master Hongfei. Please, hand over Miss Du Juan."

"And if I refuse?" Miao Youwei challenged.

Uncle Liang replied, "You are of noble blood. Don’t force this old servant to take action and risk injuring you."

Bai Longfei stepped in front of his fiancée. "You old dog, you’ll have to get through me first."

Uncle Liang sneered at Bai Longfei. "Pretty boy, I would have torn you to pieces long ago if it weren’t for Madam’s protection. A worthless fool dares to play the hero in front of me? Today, I’ll put an end to you."

He lunged forward with his hands extended into claws that emitted a faint black iron hue. The pressure of a Limit Breaking Realm master was terrifying.

Bai Longfei, his face serious and eyes determined, was about to strike back... But Li Xiaofei stepped forward.

"Brother, you fed me today, so I’ll deal with this old dog for you."

Li Xiaofei raised his hand and launched a claw strike of his own. It was the Nine Yin White Bone Claw!

"You little fool, courting death," Uncle Liang sneered.

He had cultivated the ancient Eagle Claw Technique martial art and had further enhanced his abilities by undergoing New Martial Arts surgery, which implanted the Inscribed Treasure Bone of a Flaming Parrot. This granted him a secret claw technique and made his ten fingers as hard as steel. He could tear through rock as if it were tofu. Who would dare to challenge him in a contest of claw strength?

Eager to prove his worth to Du Hongfei, Uncle Liang launched a lethal strike at Li Xiaofei.

Bang!

Their hands collided, ten fingers locking in a fierce struggle. A savage expression flickered across Uncle Liang’s face, but in the next instant, it was replaced by shock. His prized claw technique failed to twist or break Li Xiaofei’s fingers.

"Kneel," Li Xiaofei commanded with a cold smile as he applied more force with his grip.

Crack.

Uncle Liang\'s right hand was crushed into pulp.

"Ah...!" He screamed in agony.

Instinctively, he tried to retreat but Li Xiaofei swiftly grabbed his left shoulder with a reverse claw strike.

Crack.

Half of Uncle Liang’s shoulder bone shattered instantly. The immense force left him no room to resist, and he collapsed to his knees with a loud crack. Uncle Liang’s face twisted in pain as his kneecaps shattered. He was reeling with shock and disbelief.

Bai Longfei was supposedly just a student, and today’s gathering was said to be with his schoolmates. Yet Li Xiaofei had effortlessly overpowered him, leaving him utterly defeated.

How can such a terrifying monster emerge from a group of students?

Miao Youwei was astonished and delighted. She was shocked that this high school student, Li Xiaofei, was indeed as powerful as Bai Longfei had claimed. Bai Longfei had often boasted about Li Xiaofei’s capabilities, but Miao Youwei hadn’t taken it too seriously. After all, in her mind, a high school student, no matter how strong he was, was still just a student. But now, she realized how gravely mistaken she had been.

Her delight came from the realization that with Li Xiaofei here, today’s predicament might be resolved. This gave her the time and space to maneuver.

"Who the hell are you to dare interfere in Du family matters?" Du Hongfei shouted. He was both shocked and enraged by Uncle Liang’s defeat.

"One of the five great families in the base city, the Du family?" Li Xiaofei asked, looking at him.

"That\'s right," Du Hongfei sneered, trying to intimidate him. "I’m Du Hongfei, the eldest grandson of the second branch of the Du family. Kid, do you even know who you’re messing with? How many lives do you think you have to try interfering in our family affairs?"

"Eldest grandson?" Li Xiaofei chuckled lightly. "It seems you don\'t hold much status in your family if you don’t even know who I am."

Even setting aside the dual badges incident at the victory banquet just a few days ago, after negotiating with the gangs, Li Xiaofei’s name had already spread among the higher-ups of the city’s gangs and the core members of the major families.

Although Inspector Li Zhoumin had ordered his name to remain out of public view, the core members of any great family would undoubtedly be aware of him. The fact that Du Hongfei didn’t recognize him only meant one thing—he wasn’t as important as he pretended to be.

"You little bastard, who the hell do you think you are? Does a broke student like you have the qualifications to act tough in front of me?" Du Hongfei sneered. "Don\'t think that you’re anything special just because you defeated that useless old man."

He gestured. "Take him down!"

Four bodyguards in black combat suits immediately drew their military daggers and charged at Li Xiaofei. Li Xiaofei didn’t move an inch, casually executing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

The air was sliced through by the afterimages of his claw. The four bodyguards fell mid-lunge. This display of strength left everyone in the room utterly stunned.

Uncle Liang, still kneeling, gasped sharply. The strength of this student far exceeded his previous estimation.

Can he be at the Acupoint Opening Realm?

Du Hongfei\'s eyes twitched in disbelief.

"Kid, are you really going to make an enemy out of me, Du Hongfei?" He snarled, gritting his teeth. "Don\'t think I came here with just a few men. I\'ll show you the true power and resources of a great family."

He quickly sent a signal through his light core.

A few seconds later, heavy footsteps echoed from outside. They could see a swarm of figures—thousands of them—emerging from all directions through the windows. The group quickly surrounded the entire restaurant.

Bang!

The restaurant\'s main door was suddenly smashed open by a massive iron ball, sending splinters flying. The giant black steel ball was then yanked back outside. A tide of people then surged into the restaurant.

Leading the charge was a man of medium build, his bald head gleaming like a boiled egg. His eyes were squinted like green beans, and he wore a leather vest adorned with silver studs. Silver chains were coiled around his waist and shoulders, and the same massive black steel ball that had just demolished the door was on his back.

He exuded an overwhelming aura of violence and death, like a living embodiment of Yama, the Lord of Hell.

"Boss Ma, that\'s him," Du Hongfei said smugly as he stepped forward. "That little bastard ruined my plans. Take care of him for me. I want one of his legs broken."

"Haha, easy enough, as long as the price is right, Young Master Du," The bald Boss Ma laughed heartily. "Breaking a leg is no problem at all, even if... huh?"

He stopped mid-sentence as he finally got a clear look at Li Xiaofei\'s face.

Holy crap! How can it be this little demon?

Boss Ma was instantly paralyzed with fear.
