"No!"
The third son of the Chemir family, upon hearing the dire news of his father's demise, could no longer bear it and collapsed to his knees, wailing incessantly!
"This isn't real, it shouldn't be like this!"
Seeing the third son crawling towards Ling Feng step by step, Yang Fei quickly reached out and stopped him.
"I beg you, don't kill anymore. Kill me, I know I was wrong. It was our Chemir family who were ignorant of their own limitations. We shouldn't have occupied Japan, nor should we have arrogantly offended Dahua. We were wrong!"
The brothers Liu Zhichao and Liu Zhixuan watched their third brother's mournful cries with their own eyes.
At this moment, they could feel the terrifying pain within their third brother's heart, for in him, they seemed to see their own fate!
Ling Feng's expression remained utterly indifferent: "Execute!"
"Yes!"
Yang Fei responded, and with a swift movement, a head rolled to the ground. This individual, considered the strongest among all the Chemir family members, had met his end!
The severed head rolled and came to rest beside Liu Zhixuan!
Liu Zhixuan recoiled in terror. Facing death, they were as insignificant as ants.
Ling Feng turned and issued instructions to Yang Fei to apprehend all members of the Chemir family and mete out punishment for their crimes!
"Yes!"
Everyone responded, and a contingent of men quickly marched towards the Japanese Imperial Palace!
Thus, Japan was officially annexed into the territory of Dahua.
Liu Zhichao knelt on the ground, pleading repeatedly, "Don't kill me, I don't want to die. I'll cooperate with your interviews, I'll say whatever you want me to say, I'll tell you everything!"
Beside him, Liu Zhixuan had initially maintained a degree of backbone, but seeing his younger brother's state, his resolve completely crumbled.
Death was truly the most terrifying thing imaginable. If this continued, everything would lose its meaning, for life would inevitably reach its end!
"No, don't kill me!"
Liu Zhixuan also spoke, but Ling Feng merely waved his hand indifferently: "Execute!"
Yang Fei, without hesitation, struck!
Liu Zhixuan was utterly stunned. He had never dreamed that after surrendering and begging for mercy, he would be executed by Ling Feng.
Had Ling Feng kept him alive until this moment solely to hear his pleas for mercy?
The head fell.
Liu Zhichao, standing nearby, screamed in terror, "Ah! No, don't kill me, I beg you, Lord War God, I'll do anything for you!"
"Take him for the interview!"
Ling Feng replied indifferently, then raised an eyebrow at Li Tianjiao and asked, "How many did we capture alive?"
"Over thirty people in total, including some bio-engineered soldiers who clearly lacked self-awareness. Additionally, we found survivors from the tracking aircraft they shot down earlier. It's confirmed that they were dispatched by their elder brother, the current head of the Liu Group, Liu Zhihuan!"
After Li Tianjiao reported, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Zhixuan's severed head and shook his head, saying, "Liu Zhihuan must have received the news by now. We need to release information quickly, otherwise, some unfavorable information might emerge. Killing Liu Zhixuan was unnecessary; he would have had greater value alive!"
It was clear that Li Tianjiao's final remark implied he felt Ling Feng had acted impulsively in killing people, perhaps suspecting personal vendetta.
Ling Feng, however, dismissively shook his head at Li Tianjiao: "You're overthinking it. This person has no further value. Keeping him serves no purpose; he wouldn't obey so readily. He'll have more research value as a corpse!"
Li Tianjiao was taken aback: "But he surrendered and begged for mercy just now."
"Facing death, Li Tianjiao, there will come a day when you too will beg for mercy. But if given a chance to breathe, wouldn't you want revenge? Wouldn't you want to struggle? This fellow is ambitious; do you think today's encounter alone would completely deter him?"
Ling Feng admonished him without reservation. Recently, Ling Feng had been feeling that Li Tianjiao's thinking was somewhat flawed. Perhaps appointing him to guard the Elder Council was the right decision back then.
However, if Ling Feng had managed the chaos of the past three years, he would have handled it much better than Li Tianjiao!
Perhaps, the Elder Council no longer needed to exist.
Li Tianjiao was more suited for charging into battle; his strength was no longer sufficient to awe certain individuals!
Li Tianjiao's expression was somewhat embarrassed. During Ling Feng's absence for three years, Li Tianjiao had faced immense pressure. He had finally endured it, but Li Tianjiao had also realized that his abilities seemed to have reached their peak, and his own strength was also limited.
Three years ago, before Ling Feng's journey to the Southern Border, Li Tianjiao felt that although he couldn't defeat Ling Feng, he at least had a few rounds of contention if they were to fight.
But now, Li Tianjiao had been far surpassed by Ling Feng, and even Yang Fei's strength was on par with Li Tianjiao's.
"Alas, after this matter is resolved, I plan to take a break for a while!"
Li Tianjiao sighed. He truly needed time to rest and to sort out his state.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng shook his head: "I have no intention of letting you rest!"
"What do you mean?" Li Tianjiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Soon, some regions will erupt into localized wars. The scope can be controlled. I feel you are more suited for the battlefield. You should try it. Perhaps after some time in combat, you will break through your current bottleneck!"
Ling Feng said word by word.
Anyone else hearing this would surely think Ling Feng was deliberately trying to strip Li Tianjiao of his power, but Ling Feng didn't care what others thought; he only cared about Li Tianjiao's own thoughts.
Indeed, Li Tianjiao was stunned upon hearing this, but he quickly smiled at Ling Feng and said, "Heh, that might be a good idea, but aren't you worried I'll make some incorrect decisions?"
"I'll give you space to operate, and I won't interfere with the details. I'll control the overall direction, just like before in the Northern Territory," Ling Feng said casually.
Li Tianjiao's blood began to boil: "Alright, it's a deal!"
Immediately after, a fighter jet landed, and Zhou Jin quickly ran down from it: "Heavenly Venerate, I heard you have something interesting here?"
"It's you!?"
Liu Zhichao, standing nearby, recognized Zhou Jin at first glance. He had been kneeling on the ground, but now he jumped up in fright.
Zhou Jin had fallen off a cliff back then; wasn't this guy already dead?
How was he still so full of life?
Was he also immortal, like Ling Feng?!
Zhou Jin, disturbed by Liu Zhichao beside him, immediately widened his eyes: "You son of a bitch, it's you! Grandpa has been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, I must kill you with my own hands!"
