Chapter 967: Chapter 740: I Said One Thing
In a moment of unpreparedness, Tang Zhi’s aged body was suddenly lifted by Mu Fan, like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
Within the embrace of the exoskeleton armor, Mu Fan’s palm lacked any warmth.
All he had was that infinitely cold metal, close to death!
Tang Zhi’s brain immediately experienced hypoxia.
He swore that in his entire life, he had never been handled like this.
In such a humiliating posture…
Tang Zhi’s body still had the foundation of youth left behind, but he was old nevertheless.
Compared to Mu Fan’s inhuman strength, all his struggles were destined to be futile.
Mu Fan pinched the opponent’s neck, looking at the eyes of Tang Zhi starting to turn white, leaned his head close, and softly said:
“I want nothing, I just purely… come to kill you.”
“Your so-called power, family authority, to me, are no different from a sheet of paper.”
“Ho… ho…”
Tang Zhi’s brain began to lose oxygen, hearing Mu Fan’s words, the humiliation and anger had no place to release.
The constant pain in his neck reminded him that now, everything was not going as planned.
Tang Zhi had dominated Blue Capital Star all his life, and at this moment, he encountered a complete barbarian.
With no fear, no kind of inferiority as a civilian, a willpower so strong it was outrageous.
This kind of person, how could he be a civilian!
How could he be a common person from that tattered planet!
“The seven major families, the Tang family… you… can’t kill me.”
The older people get, the more they fear death, and when Tang Zhi felt dizziness and hallucinations hit his brain, the fear of unknown death finally made him let go of his so-called dignity.
His broken words were understood by Mu Fan.
But Mu Fan merely looked at Tang Zhi calmly, “You see, without those umbrellas you mentioned, you are not even by a common person.”
“As for the seven major families… who can care about whom now?”
“After all, those bugs from deep space are excessively powerful, aren’t they?”
Mu Fan showed a faint smile, but upon hearing it, Tang Zhi’s cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.
He struggled fiercely.
However, Mu Fan didn’t give him much chance, tilting his head to look at Tang Zhi’s old yet hypocritical exterior.
His lips curled, revealing an exceptionally cold, sarcastic smile.
Then, holding Tang Zhi with his right hand, he walked step by step, not fast, not slow, out of the tea room, through the broken metal passage, exposed once more under the sunlight.
Mu Fan looked up at the sky, and in that short moment, the number of warships amassed at the dome had already doubled.
Now, it was close to 200 ships.
Even though these were 200 small ships, their amassed number was enough to invoke inexplicable fear on the ground.
Yet, at this moment, not one dared to initiate an attack on the “Heaven and Earth Cage.”
When Mu Fan was once again exposed to everyone’s sight, the old man in a suit he held, whose complexion was oddly flushed, directly ignited the atmosphere of all viewing areas!
“Who is that?”
“…My God… it’s the family head of the Tang family.”
“What is he trying to do… simply insane!”
“Wake up, he’s been insane since he got here.”
Of course, compared to the elite crowd, most people seeing this scene didn’t know who this old man was.
The ordinary folks were just questioning why this youth would take an old man out.
This behavior somewhat clashed with their psychological expectations.
Yet, no one explained it to them.
The Planet Council of Blue Capital Star was now trying every possible way to cut off satellite broadcasts, while the nerves of military department bigwigs were highly strung by the sudden appearance of the super battleship Flying Dragon.
All that remained were the temporarily “idle” councilmen, and at this time, the sorrow of having no military power was particularly pronounced.
When Mu Fan squinted at the sky with a calm expression shown on the screens, everyone fell silent.
Because these eyes were too calm.
High-precision satellites captured Mu Fan’s facial expression vividly, with those indifferent eyes that couldn’t be faked.
It’s just that they really didn’t understand what Mu Fan intended to do.
Could it be he wants to use the Tang family’s family head for negotiations, to demand benefits?
Or engage in other resource exchanges?
Mu Fan walked steadily in the deep pit Thunderhawk had stepped out, a creaking sound underfoot.
Upon reaching the pit’s bottom, Mu Fan suddenly stopped.
His figure wrapped in purple armor paused suddenly, causing many people’s hearts to tighten.
Mu Fan casually tossed Tang Zhi to the ground.
This old man, whose exterior was elderly yet whose body was not weak, staggered a bit and stood on the ground without falling.
However, when Mu Fan’s immediate footstep followed, a huge force directly kicked Tang Zhi forcibly to the ground.
Then his foot fiercely pressed against his back, unable to move a bit.
This old man who was smiling maliciously an hour ago, now kneeled directly before Mu Fan.
“Junior, you are going too far!”
Tang Zhi’s body shuddered involuntarily, a sign of anger assaulting his heart.
His voice was like the friction of cast iron; his eyes gave off a slight hint of red.
However, after he finished speaking, a slightly warm metal object directly pressed against the back of his head.
Tang Zhi’s words were all stuck in his throat.
Mu Fan raised his left hand, holding the heavy shotgun in his single hand, the barrel directly pointed at Tang Zhi’s back head.
His eyes indifferently looking downward.
Tang Zhi’s body froze, he coldly said: “Looks like you are determined to kill me today.”
“What do you think?”
Mu Fan pushed the barrel in his hand forward, forcibly bumping Tang Zhi’s head down.
This posture, like an executioner executing a criminal.
On the patrol ship, the family members from the elite had closed their eyes, not wanting to witness this humiliating scene anymore.
The seven major families, united in solidarity, one prospers all prosper, one suffers all suffer.
At this moment, there was an unavoidable sense of compassion for a fallen kin.
However, just then, on the screens of these ships, two green light spots suddenly appeared and were rapidly approaching.
On the optical imaging system, a light brown mecha about 15 meters tall, wielding an ultra-long riding spear nearly 25 meters in length.
The engine at its back surged forth two azure blue tails of flame, the mecha drawing a brown trail in the air, leaving countless afterimages, and while everyone hadn’t reacted, in the blink of an eye, it passed through the Federation patrol fleet.
The mighty riding spear slammed heavily against Thunderhawk’s “Heaven and Earth Cage,” the barrier visibly dented over nearly 20 meters, sending out huge ripples, and the defensive area actually showed local chaos.
And when this mecha, named “Wood Shadow,” attacked the barrier, a short, fully green colored mecha appeared behind it.
Though the mecha was only about 10 meters tall, the giant golden crossbow it held still indicated the peculiarity of this mecha.
A crossbow arrow glinting with cold light was already aimed below.
Boom!
In the same spot, when the crossbow arrow hit, the Heaven and Earth Barrier instantly exploded into countless flying sparks, the grid showing strange cracks, and it did not recover.
Mecha “Green Crossbow”—Field Destruction Arrow!
“Release the family head! Spare you from death!”
A deafening roar sounded simultaneously from within the two mechas.
Tang Zhi raised his head to look at the sky, unconsciously revealing a smile on his face; these were the good men of the Tang family.
“Oh, reinforcements?”
Mu Fan looked up at the force field barrier, about to shatter in the next second, facing the whole world, revealing a standard smile.
His long fingers rested on the trigger.
“I have said a word.”
“And that is, no matter who comes, it won’t help.”
