Chapter 174: Li Yuan! Full burst! (Seeking monthly votes)
Outpost Base No. 3, sixth floor.
Inside the huge conference hall, countless rays of light converged, forming two huge light screen projections.
One of them was a 3D map projection.
On it, besides the rolling mountains and rivers, there were also a large number of red light dots moving, and from time to time, red light dots would disappear.
The other was a video projection.
What was revealed was the tragic slaughter currently taking place inside Observation Point No. 19.
The spirited Wu Ying held a long spear and engaged in a fierce battle with the burly, monstrous-looking "Logan," and she had been completely suppressed.
On the other side, the young Shi Xiao also held dual sabers and, together with another Level 19 martial artist, was jointly restraining the burly man "Mo Long."
Other human martial artists were also struggling to resist the attacks of the Tianliang warriors.
However, with a disadvantage in top-tier combat power and overall numbers, it seemed like only a matter of time before Wu Ying, Shi Xiao, and the others were defeated and killed.
In front of the light screen, the three figures all frowned.
They were the main officers of Outpost Base No. 3, and they were all Source Martial Artists.
"Where has the support squad reached?" The voice of the only purple-clad woman among the three was sharp.
"According to their forward speed, it should take another 20 minutes to arrive." The blue-clad old man Liu Jing said slowly: "They just encountered a large group of flying aliens... one aircraft was lost, and some people can only head to the rescue on foot."
"Within a 100-kilometer radius of Observation Point No. 19, there are only three martial artist squads, and the only one that arrived quickly was Wu Ying's squad... relying on their squad alone, they can't hold on." Liu Jing continued: "It will take at least another 15 minutes for the other squad to arrive."
He had always been responsible for presiding over the overall situation, and this rescue mission for Observation Point No. 19 was arranged by him.
He paused.
Liu Jing sighed softly: "The key is that this group of Tianliang warriors is too strong, and the two leaders have already used 'Demon Blood Spirit Crystals.' Wu Ying is considered extremely strong among senior martial artists, yet she is in an absolute disadvantage in a one-on-one fight."
"Even if the other squad arrives, I'm afraid they won't be a match." Liu Jing was very rational.
The conference room fell silent.
The overall strength of the Tianliang civilization in the Mingxu Star Realm is far stronger than that of human civilization, and the power they can mobilize also exceeds that of human civilization.
"I should have been the one to go just now." Another white-clad young man frowned: "If I were there, the support squad wouldn't have been delayed just now, and they would have almost arrived by now."
"No."
"Han Chong, I know what you're thinking." Liu Jing looked at the white-clad young man: "But you must understand, today is just a small conflict, the three of us cannot act recklessly."
"Without a major event, one must not leave the outpost base."
"Unless it's a desperate situation, one must not leave the 300-kilometer radius of the outpost base; this is the rule."
"Violating it once might seem to have benefits, but in the long run, it will bring about a great disaster." Liu Jing said softly: "Once a flying-level native life form is attracted, it won't be just these few martial artists who die, but the entire outpost base will be annihilated."
"Understood, Elder Liu." The white-clad young man said in a muffled voice; of course, he knew the rules.
But watching human martial artists being killed, he didn't feel good either.
"Sometimes, some casualties are unavoidable." Liu Jing sighed softly.
What the Qixing human civilization has established in the Mingxu Star Realm is only an "outpost base."
What is an outpost? Essentially, it's a sentry post for observation, collecting intelligence, and a small amount of resources.
It is not a "forward base" or a "garrison base."
Therefore, whether it's the Xia Nation or the Qixing Alliance, the resources invested in the Mingxu Star Realm are actually not much.
In reality, the main theme of the Mingxu Star Realm is those few terrifying flying-level existences leading their respective ethnic groups to fight each other, but they mostly occupy the "Ming Mountain" in the center of the star realm and rarely pay attention to the corners of the star realm.
If the Qixing human civilization's outpost base wants to survive for a long time, it must keep a low profile and try not to attract the attention of the flying-level existences in the Mingxu Star Realm.
Not letting Source Martial Artists act is the reason for this.
If Source Martial Artists act recklessly, and it happens too many times, it will inevitably attract the prying eyes of powerful Rank Two aliens.
Once a war starts, and the situation reaches a dire point.
The terrifying thermal weapons of the outpost base, capable of annihilating top-tier Rank Two aliens, will erupt, which will most likely attract flying-level native life forms.
It will be a disaster.
"Hmm?" Liu Jing's eyes brightened slightly: "No, perhaps there is a turning point."
"Xu An has arrived." Liu Jing said.
"Xu An?"
"Who is Xu An?" The white-clad young man Han Chong and the purple-clad woman both showed expressions of confusion.
They rarely managed specific affairs and didn't know about Li Yuan's situation.
"You will know soon." A trace of anticipation flashed in Liu Jing's eyes.
Observation Point No. 19.
Whoosh! As soon as Li Yuan charged into the passage, he saw several human corpses in the passage; judging by their attire, they were "ordinary people" stationed at the observation point.
This scene made Li Yuan involuntarily think of the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City.
At that time, he had also seen a large number of similar human corpses.
At this moment, the killing intent in Li Yuan's heart grew even stronger.
At the end of the passage were three purple-robed people holding weapons; they were still chatting, seemingly responsible for outer perimeter security.
"It's a Qixing human martial artist." The three purple-robed people immediately saw Li Yuan; they were nervous at first, but then showed expressions of contempt.
"Only Level 17."
"The life detector shows it's only Level 17." One of the purple-robed people said indifferently: "Kill him."
"Don't waste time."
Without hesitation.
The other two purple-robed people had throwing darts appear in their palms, exerted force suddenly, and roared as they threw the darts at Li Yuan.
Swish swish swish!
The speed of these throwing darts was extremely astonishing, instantly reaching supersonic speed, and their weight was extremely astonishing; in terms of impact power alone, they far exceeded some bullets.
Being able to practice throwing darts to this extent was also rare.
If it were truly an ordinary Level 17 martial artist, facing these suddenly erupting throwing darts, they would definitely be flustered, or even directly pierced to death.
At the very least, they would be forced to retreat.
"Hidden weapons?" Li Yuan's eyes were cold, his body moved instantly, and instead of retreating, he advanced, turning into a residual shadow and rushing toward the opponent.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Yuan's figure seemed to become blurry; it looked like he was moving in a straight line, but in reality, he was performing extremely small-amplitude body movements like lightning... in high-speed movement, such movement was extremely difficult.
In one encounter.
Li Yuan had easily dodged over ten roaring throwing darts and completely charged through the passage of over fifty meters.
This is the Five-Stage skill "Heaven and Man as One."
Sensing heaven and earth, Li Yuan's perception ability far exceeded that of a normal Rank One powerhouse, allowing him to easily discern the trajectory of each throwing dart.
"Bang~" "Boom!" "Boom!" After the supersonic heavy throwing darts missed Li Yuan, they boomed into the walls on both sides of the passage, deeply embedded in the metal walls.
"Not good."
"Level 19? Such fast speed."
"The life detector malfunctioned."
"And his skills are extremely strong, his movement technique is so good." The three Tianliang warriors' expressions changed instantly.
They were all elite warriors above Level 18, and each of them had Three-Stage skills.
Although Li Yuan's figure moved fast, they could still barely see it with their eyesight.
Naturally, they could feel Li Yuan's terrifying strength.
"Run."
"Hurry up."
"Go and rendezvous with the captain." The three Tianliang warriors turned and fled without hesitation, each of them moving extremely fast.
Engage? From the speed and movement technique Li Yuan erupted with, they judged that they would undoubtedly be defeated.
Better leave it to the two captains.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and the three Tianliang warriors chased and fled, both sides erupting with extreme speed.
In just a few seconds.
Both sides had passed through several corridors and two halls, each place was severely damaged, and some were even half-collapsed; clearly, a fierce battle had taken place here.
There were also quite a few human corpses, as well as several Tianliang warrior corpses.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The three Tianliang warriors retreated fast.
But Li Yuan's pursuit speed was even faster.
In a state of heart-micro-perception, Li Yuan, whose life level was originally 16.8, erupted with speed and power that could completely rival a Level 19 martial artist.
After both sides chased and fled like lightning for nearly ten seconds.
The originally slight sounds of fighting had become extremely harsh and loud, and there were also bursts of roars and growls coming from the deepest area of the observation point.
Li Yuan had finally caught up with the three fleeing Tianliang clansmen.
"Kill!"
"Kill." Two of the Tianliang warriors were also extremely decisive; seeing they couldn't escape, they suddenly stepped on the metal wall, rose up, turned around, and killed toward Li Yuan.
The timing was grasped extremely precisely.
It was just like a "returning horse spear," attempting to behead Li Yuan.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Two spear shadows streaked across the sky, like two bolts of lightning.
Pfft! Pfft! The two Tianliang warriors only felt a cold light flash before their eyes, and Li Yuan had already swept past them; their necks felt even more painful, having been pierced by the spear tip, creating huge bloody holes, and blood splattered.
Their bodies fell heavily to the ground.
"This......"
"I......" Both Tianliang warriors were incredulous, not believing they had died just like that.
"What?" The remaining Tianliang warrior was already stunned.
One spear! And he killed two elite warriors?
Is the strength gap this big?
But how could he know that the speed and power Li Yuan erupted with were already much stronger, and if he couldn't solve them in one encounter, that would be abnormal.
When the gap in power and speed is huge, there isn't much room for skill to be displayed... but when the foundation is close or even dominant, the side with superior skills will reveal its terrifying side.
Li Yuan reaching the level of Heaven and Man as One at eighteen, looking at the entire history of Qixing human civilization, is someone who can leave a name.
One can imagine how rare it is.
At least among Rank One life forms, those who can possess Four-Stage skills are a very small minority, let alone Five-Stage skills.
"Kill!"
Li Yuan's speed didn't stop at all, and he roared as he pursued the last Tianliang warrior.
...... Inside the huge hall.
Dozens of Tianliang powerhouses had completely suppressed the human martial artists, and one human martial artist after another fell to the ground and died.
It was a purely one-sided battle.
"Kill! Kill kill!" Wu Ying held a long spear, her eyes firm, still fighting desperately with the burly Logan, looking for an opportunity to kill him.
"Clang!"
"Clang!" Shi Xiao held dual sabers, still fighting desperately, but her heart was already filled with despair.
Old Ghost was dead, Man Zai was dead, Yu Hai was dead... of the nine martial artists she had just met in the squad, six had already died in battle, and the casualties were heavy.
The key was that Shi Xiao couldn't see a glimmer of hope for winning, not even a glimmer of hope for escape.
Almost all human martial artists were already in despair, just making their final struggle and resistance.
Die! But take one down with me.
Suddenly.
Boom! A purple figure was suddenly blasted into the entry passage.
This purple figure hit a large pillar hard, then fell to the ground, covered in blood, with blood flowing from its neck; it was clearly not going to live.
"Hmm?"
"What's going on?" Many Tianliang warriors reacted instantly, subconsciously looking at the dark passage.
Whoosh!
And while their attention was drawn by this corpse, a dark figure had already blended into the hall like a ghost, taking advantage of the night, and directly launched a surprise attack.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!" Several terrifying spear shadows bloomed, and several Tianliang warriors hadn't even noticed before they felt their throats go cold, followed by sharp pain; they involuntarily covered their throats, but couldn't make a sound.
They fell to the ground one after another.
"Not good."
"There's an assassin! It's the enemy." Many Tianliang warriors woke up like a dream, finally noticing Li Yuan's existence, and many stared at Li Yuan with anger.
"There's reinforcements?"
"Just one person?" The human martial artists still alive in the hall were first energized, but then a trace of disappointment flashed in their hearts.
Only one person came?
"Li Yuan?" Shi Xiao, who had already been in despair, saw Li Yuan's figure clearly, and her eyes lit up.
Immediately, Shi Xiao's heart tightened again, and she said: "Xu An, run! Leave quickly."
Shi Xiao truly liked Li Yuan, so naturally, she didn't want to watch Li Yuan die with her.
"Senior Sister." Li Yuan also saw Shi Xiao, and his heart was filled with relief.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
Regarding Senior Sister Shi Xiao, Li Yuan couldn't talk about romantic love, but the other party treated him well, so naturally, he didn't want anything to happen to her.
Boom!
The moment Li Yuan charged into the hall, after discerning the entire situation, he had already erupted with full force and charged toward the short, fat man Mo Long.
"Kill."
"Kill him." Other Tianliang warriors roared with anger, and quite a few swung their weapons, attempting to block Li Yuan's pace.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
Like a whirlwind, accompanied by changing spear shadows, Li Yuan, erupting with full force, instantly killed three Tianliang warriors, extremely ruthless.
"Kid, go to hell." A muffled roar sounded.
Boom!
The short, fat man who had been suppressing Shi Xiao and attempting to kill her suddenly retracted his battle axe, then moved his figure and charged toward Li Yuan, his speed like lightning.
Swish swish swish! Axe light crisscrossed, the axe and the long spear collided, and it was seen that Li Yuan completely blocked the short, fat man Mo Long's attack.
"Haha, satisfying."
"Seems stronger than any alien opponent I've killed before." A glint of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes: "If I can kill him, I wonder how much spiritual awakening degree I can gain."
