Chapter 116: Auntie, I Have a Treasure to Show You!
[Location: Modu Private Pier]
The wind whipped across the wooden planks, carrying the scent of salt and tension.
An Zhiyue's beautiful eyes glanced sideways at her nephew, Shen Anyu, pondering the bizarre event that had just occurred.
'Is it An'yu? No way... An'yu doesn't practice martial arts. He's a civilian, powerless in the world of Qi. How could he ambush a [Martial Dao Grandmaster] like Yan Lingxiao, who emerged from the bloodiest battlefields on earth?'
'Or... did Yan Lingxiao simply make a mistake himself? A freak accident of nature?'
Although both possibilities were absurd, she felt the latter was more likely. After all, Shen Anyu had grown up under her watchful eye. She knew his capabilities—or lack thereof—intimately. How could he possess such strength and means without her knowing?
At this moment, Shen Anyu was watching the dark-faced Yan Lingxiao with great interest, amusement dancing in his eyes.
The white bird droppings on Yan Lingxiao's head were, naturally, Shen Anyu's doing.
Just as Yan Lingxiao crushed the waves and soared into the sky like a dragon, Shen Anyu had activated his [God-Level Telekinesis]. He had subtly nudged a passing seagull, causing a blob of white bird droppings to fall with pinpoint accuracy onto Yan Lingxiao's head.
Of course, this was also because the bird droppings were too light to register as a threat, and Shen Anyu had projected no killing intent whatsoever. Otherwise, a veteran like Yan Lingxiao would likely have sensed the fluctuation in the air.
But this was enough to demonstrate the terrifying power and precision of Shen Anyu's [God-Level Telekinesis].
If he used hair-thin needles instead of bird droppings... he would probably be even more formidable than the legendary Dongfang Bubai!
'If before, my direct confrontation to kill Yan Lingxiao had a 70% chance of success, with a 30% chance of him escaping... Then now, after testing his perception, I have 100% certainty of killing Yan Lingxiao. He has no escape!'
Shen Anyu's actions earlier were not just a prank; he was testing Yan Lingxiao's sensory limits. It was crucial data for his subsequent plans.
"System, activate the [Son of Destiny Identifier] to identify Yan Lingxiao."
[Ding! Consuming 10,000 Destiny Points...]
[Identification Successful!]
Immediately after, a waterfall of information appeared before Shen Anyu's eyes, visible to no one but him.
[SYSTEM INTERFACE: CHILD OF DESTINY SCAN]

[Destiny Status]:

Shen Anyu looked at Yan Lingxiao's profile and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
As expected of a "War God-style" Child of Destiny. He was much more formidable than other Children of Destiny like the Doctor or the Assassin.
If Dragon King Consort Han Qi had Yan Lingxiao's strength, he would have long since eliminated Han Xiu, seized the position of family head of the Emperor Capital Han Family by force, and earned the admiration of his wife Liu Qingyue's parents, rather than having to offer his loyal subordinate to Shen Anyu.
Whether in personal strength or influence, Yan Lingxiao was leagues above Han Qi. Which was his capital for arrogance!
3.5 million Destiny Value was also the highest Shen Anyu had seen so far base stats. More than double that of the assassin bodyguard Wei Yun.
With such power and influence, it was no wonder Yan Lingxiao was so confident.
Even knowing that Shen Anyu was the Young Master of the [Yanxia Shen Family], and that An Zhiyue was the General Instructor of the Fire Phoenix Special Forces... he dared to give them a warning! He looked down on them.
Although Yan Lingxiao's warning—his attempt to show off—was secretly sabotaged by Shen Anyu's bird bomb.
'There's only one associated heroine, Luo Yuhe. Luo Xuemei, who truly had a relationship with Yan Lingxiao, is already dead. And Luo Xiaoxiao is still too young to be a target. So the relationships are simple.'
'Yan Lingxiao is easy to kill personally... but the [War God Alliance] is a bit tricky to deal with...'
Shen Anyu frowned slightly.
The War God Alliance had Eight Grandmaster-level Generals. 108 [Innate] Commanders. And tens of thousands of elite mercenary soldiers equipped with modern warfare tech. Even Shen Anyu would find it difficult to deal with them all at once.
Not to mention, the War God Alliance possessed numerous cannons, firearms, and other heavy equipment. They were capable of launching a war and annihilating small nations.
However, Shen Anyu smiled faintly. A plan was already forming in his mind.
No matter how powerful the War God Alliance was... could it contend with the contemporary great nation of Yanxia? Could it fight the state machine?
"Yan Lingxiao! Don't be so arrogant!"
At this moment, An Zhiyue had already fallen into a heated argument with Yan Lingxiao. They stood toe-to-toe on the pier. They couldn't agree on anything, and their conflict was irreconcilable.
An Zhiyue hoped that Yan Lingxiao would behave himself in Yanxia, not cause trouble, and report his every move to the military. After all, Yan Lingxiao was a loose cannon who had killed countless people.
But how could the always strong, domineering, and resolute Yan Lingxiao agree to be leashed?
Furthermore, upon his return to Yanxia this time, Yan Lingxiao was determined to find the woman from six years ago at all costs. He would tear the city apart if he had to. No one could stop him!
"An Zhiyue! If you weren't a woman... if you dared to speak to me like that anywhere else... I would have already annihilated you!"
Yan Lingxiao's heroic face was filled with coldness. His gaze was icy as he looked at An Zhiyue. He spoke with domineering force, the [Evil Qi] of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood rushing towards them like a physical wave.
An Zhiyue's Phoenix brows furrowed slightly. She stepped forward, shielding Shen Anyu behind her. Her gaze turned cold as she looked at Yan Lingxiao.
"Yan Lingxiao! This is the land of Yanxia! Not a place where your [War God Alliance] can run wild! We have laws here!"
"If it weren't for that old man in the capital speaking on your behalf... I would have already apprehended you the moment you landed!"
"Do you know how many nations have issued bounties for your capture? You are a wanted criminal!"
Yan Lingxiao snorted coldly. He wiped the bird dropping from his head with a grimace, his dignity bruised but his pride intact.
His gaze was disdainful as he said:
"Who can apprehend me, Yan Lingxiao?"
"Ridiculous! The world is my backyard!"
"An Zhiyue... I warn you. Do not interfere with my affairs. Do not stand in my way. Otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite!"
With his words, Yan Lingxiao turned and left. He jumped back onto the water, speeding away like a god.
From beginning to end, he didn't spare Shen Anyu a single glance. To him, Shen Anyu was an ant.
Shen Anyu raised his eyebrows. He looked at Yan Lingxiao's disdainful and domineering retreating figure with a half-smile.
He leisurely said:
"Aunt... are you a match for Yan Lingxiao? He seems strong."
An Zhiyue poked Shen Anyu's head with her slender, jade-like finger, saying exasperatedly:
"If it weren't for you being here... and me worrying that the aftermath of a battle might harm you... I would have already made a move! I would have severely taught this arrogant Yan Lingxiao a lesson!"
"Your Aunt is the Yanxia [Phoenix Female War God]! The General Instructor of the Fire Phoenix Special Forces! I can defeat Yan Lingxiao! Don't underestimate me!"
Watching his Aunt An Zhiyue's spirited Female War God demeanor, Shen Anyu chuckled.
"I don't think Aunt is necessarily a match for Yan Lingxiao!"
Although their cultivation [Realms] were similar... Yan Lingxiao was a Child of Destiny.
For creatures like Children of Destiny, fighting beyond their Realm and being invincible among those of the same Realm was a basic skill! It was their passive ability.
Although Yan Lingxiao was only at the [Great Grandmaster Early Stage] on paper... he already possessed the combat power of a [Great Grandmaster Late Stage]. And in battle, he might even unleash a burst of power—a "seed explosion"—just like an unkillable cockroach!
"Shen Anyu! You're saying I can't beat Yan Lingxiao?!"
Upon hearing this, An Zhiyue's Phoenix brows immediately stood on end. Her pretty face was filled with indignation and a cute kind of [Evil Qi]. She reached out, about to pinch Shen Anyu's ear for his insolence.
"Aunt! Wait! Let me show you something precious!"
At this moment, however, Shen Anyu pulled something out of his pants pocket.
"Look at this."
An Zhiyue stopped. She looked down.
And was instantly stunned.
