Chapter 657: Chapter 509: A Poem Says: If You Can Fight, Never Babble

Liang Qi was one of the councillors of the Federation Government’s Supreme Council.

Moreover, Liang Qi now held actual supreme military command over the Federation’s external wars.

Gao Neng was going to kill Liang Qi in the Federation Government Building…

No matter how you looked at it, this sounded like an absurd joke.

But sweat dripped from Wu Qingjing’s forehead like rain because he was certain Gao Neng would actually do it.

‘He broke through to Tier Eight!’

‘A genius!’

‘A true genius!’

But the more of a genius he was, the trickier the current situation became.

“What do I do?!” Wu Qingjing was so distraught that for a moment, he even forgot whether his communicator was still connected.

“What do you do? What else can you do? Hurry up and send people to stop him!” Patriarch Yi on the other end of the communicator was also stunned for a moment. The Speaker of the Federation’s Council was asking him what to do?

‘This really puts me in a tough spot…’

But wasn’t the answer obvious?

Was he really supposed to let the two sides fight it out?

‘Surely not!’

This was a critical period in the Federation’s external war. At a time like this, both Gao Neng and Liang Qi were key figures of utmost importance to the Federation.

“Stop him? Right… I should stop him, but… but damn it, this kid… I can’t stop him at all!” Wu Qingjing muttered involuntarily as he heard Patriarch Yi’s words in a daze, then immediately grabbed his hair.

‘I’m a Tier Nine!’

‘A Tier Nine Late Stage expert, at that.’

He should have been able to confidently declare that all those below Tier Nine were mere ants.

However, right now, those “ants” definitely did not include Gao Neng. Because Gao Neng wasn’t one person—he was a hundred!

Back when Gao Neng was only at the Tier Six Late Stage, he had already flown to the Northern District Battlefield with over a hundred Tier Eight “Gao Nengs.”

And in that battle…

Gao Neng had slain more than twenty high-tier experts, two Tier Nines, and one… Strongest!

‘My god, I really can’t stop a monster like that…’ Wu Qingjing wasn’t lacking confidence; he just couldn’t muster any.

After all, he had already lost to him once.

‘Fight again?’

‘How could I possibly win?!’

For the first time, Wu Qingjing found himself wishing Gao Neng was a little weaker. It would have been best if he hadn’t broken through. Maybe then, he could have put up a fight.

But the fact was, Gao Neng had broken through.

‘A Tier Eight Gao Neng!’

This was truly no ordinary Tier Eight…

Because not even a Tier Nine would necessarily be his match!

“I need to find someone… I can’t stop him alone. I’ll find a Tier Nine… no, a Strongest! Only a Strongest can stop him!” Wu Qingjing suddenly realized.

“A Tier Nine? A Strongest? To stop Gao Neng… Speaker Wu, where are you going to find any idle Tier Nines or Strongests right now?” Patriarch Yi listened to Wu Qingjing over the communicator, then glanced back at the disciples of the West Alliance Yi Family standing on the city wall behind him.

The West Alliance Yi Family—all of its combat-capable members were already on the Western District Battlefield!

Before him was a sea-like tide of the Alien Race Alliance Army. He was holding his communicator while facing the iron hooves of over a hundred thousand aliens.

And now, Wu Qingjing wanted him to find more people to stop Gao Neng?

Where was he supposed to find anyone?

Especially Tier Nines and Strongests…

‘Who did he think he could find?!’

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Just then, a frantic alarm began to blare.

It was a red alert from the Federation Government Building.

The dazed expression on Wu Qingjing’s face finally gave way to complete clarity the moment he heard the alarm, because he could already hear footsteps outside.

THUD!

THUD! THUD!

The door was pushed open.

“Speaker Wu, Councillor Liang requests your presence in the conference room immediately.” It wasn’t Wu Qingjing’s female secretary who pushed the door open, but four members of the Guard Army in special combat uniforms.

The four Guard Army members all wore a uniform insignia.

Different colors were interwoven together.

It was the insignia of the Federation Government’s Supreme Council.

Wu Qingjing knew all too well what the appearance of these Guard Army members meant, because he used to be the one who led them.

But now, command of the Guard Army had fallen into Liang Qi’s hands.

“What is Liang Qi trying to do?!” Wu Qingjing’s brow tightened, and he slammed the communicator in his hand directly onto his desk.

SMACK!

A sharp crack echoed.

Patriarch Yi, who was still listening on the other end, was met with a sudden ringing in his ears.

SCREECH!!!

The piercing sound stabbed at his eardrums.

Patriarch Yi felt the urge to curse.

‘What the hell?!’

However, that thought had barely flashed through his mind before it was replaced by a new one.

‘Oh no, something’s happened at the Federation Government!!!’ Patriarch Yi hadn’t become the Patriarch of the West Alliance Yi Family by being slow on the uptake, so he instantly guessed something was wrong. “Quick… quick, go inform my wife! Liang Qi and Gao Neng are probably about to fight! Tell her to hurry to the Federation Government Building immediately!”

“Yes, sir!” A disciple of the Yi Family immediately ran toward a military tent not far away.

Meanwhile, in a small conference room within the Federation Government Building…

Liang Qi, dressed in a suit, was seated at the head of the table.

“He actually reached Tier Eight? In just three days… no, not even four!” Liang Qi’s eyes narrowed, his expression complex.

News from the North District Fortress had reached the Military Department, and from there, it spread to the major sects and prominent families. How could Liang Qi possibly not know?

In fact, he had received the news even earlier than Wu Qingjing.

“Hahaha, that kid really is impulsive. Doesn’t he know that command has already fallen into our hands? Rushing over now to seize power… how naive. Does he really think a single Tier Eight can turn the Federation Government upside down?” a man’s laughter rang out.

“He’s no ordinary Tier Eight… and he has over a hundred gene weapons at his disposal. Stopping him through normal means won’t be easy,” the Eagle-eyed Man spoke up.

“We can’t stop one Gao Neng with the Federation Government’s Guard Team?” another man asked, somewhat incredulously.

“If we order the Guard Team to go all out, unleashing their full firepower, we can naturally stop him…” The Eagle-eyed Man’s gaze flickered, and he then looked toward Liang Qi at the head of the table.

“Gao Neng can’t die yet,” Liang Qi said, shaking his head.

“But he’s coming here to kill you!” a man beside him exclaimed.

“The Federation still needs him in the end… Without him, the war in a year’s time will probably be…”

“Councillor Liang, aren’t you getting one thing wrong? It’s not us opposing him right now; it’s him opposing us!”

“Capture him, and then control him! That way, no one in the Federation will be able to shake our position!” Liang Qi’s eyes narrowed.

“But…”

“Enough. We’ll listen to Councillor Liang!” The Eagle-eyed Man interrupted the other man who was about to speak again. He then stood up with a smile. “So, how does Councillor Liang plan to capture Gao Neng?”

KNOCK!

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

The sound was extremely urgent.

“What is it? Didn’t I give orders? Not to be disturbed unless it’s something important?!” The man who spoke clearly had a short temper.

CLICK!

The door opened.

Outside, four members of the Guard Team had anxious expressions.

“Reporting to Councillor Zhang, Councillor Liang… Speaker Wu, he…”

“What about him?”

“He’s suddenly gone crazy, rampaging through the Federation Government Building! We don’t dare use heavy-handed tactics, so we can’t stop him at all. All our captains are tied up dealing with him now, and we have no manpower left to deploy external defenses. If this continues, I’m afraid…”

“The old man, he’s doing it on purpose!” The man reacted instantly upon hearing this.

‘Going crazy at a time like this?’

‘Who would believe that?!’

The only explanation was that Wu Qingjing was doing it intentionally.

Using this “madness” to disrupt the defensive deployment of the Supreme Council’s Guard Team.

“Even though the old man has lost his power, he is still the Speaker. There are some lines we can’t cross. If he wants to cause a scene, let him. Order the Guard Army to establish a full defensive perimeter. If anyone tries to force their way in at this time, regardless of who it is, capture them directly under the highest authority!” The Eagle-eyed Man stood up.

“…” The four Guard Team members looked at Liang Qi.

“What are you waiting for? Go!” Liang Qi glanced at the Eagle-eyed Man, then gritted his teeth. “Remember… you can injure him severely, but I want him alive!”

“Yes, sir!” The four Guard Team members immediately took their orders.

“Heh heh, Councillor Liang is still too soft-hearted…”

“I’m not being soft-hearted. I just see him as a sword in my hand. If one day this sword is no longer sharp, I will break it without hesitation!” Liang Qi glanced at the Eagle-eyed Man and the other two men again, his tone turning somewhat chilling.

“Hahaha, just a joke, a joke! How could a decisive person like Councillor Liang possibly be soft-hearted? Right? Hahaha…” one of the men chuckled.

“If we merely give the order to capture… I’m afraid that might not be enough to stop him. Don’t forget, Gao Neng killed two Tier Nines and a Strongest!” the Eagle-eyed Man spoke again, his tone somewhat grim.

“What does Councillor Liang think?” The two men once again turned their gazes to Liang Qi.

BOOM!

A massive explosion suddenly erupted.

The entire Federation Government Building trembled twice.

It felt as if some terrifying force was tearing at the Federation Government’s Energy Defense Shield, even trying to rip it up by the roots!

“What’s going on?!”

“He’s so fast… From the North District Fortress to here, it would normally take at least three hours by plane, but it’s been less than an hour. Did he fly all the way from the North District?!”

“Even flying at full speed, he can’t be this fast, can he? A Tier Eight’s speed is faster than a plane, but not by that much, right? According to our estimates, he shouldn’t have been able to get here in under two hours…”

“…”

“Let’s go take a look!”

BOOM!

Just then, another violent explosion sounded.

It was immediately followed by a strange “CRACK” sound.

“???” The two men.

“???” The Eagle-eyed Man.

“!!!” Liang Qi.

‘Did that sound like the Energy Defense Shield being torn apart?’
