Chapter 155: Warrior Li Yuan

Chapter 155: Warrior Li Yuan

Boom! Boom!

Li Yuan and the advanced Fish Spirit Tribe warrior clashed fiercely, their speeds akin to lightning, sending terrifying shockwaves in all directions, causing the trees lining the street to explode.

With each burst of force, the concrete pavement shattered, sending chunks of debris flying. These fragments moved at astonishing speeds, and if they struck an ordinary person, it would be fatal or cause severe injury.

Fortunately!

Most of the civilians had already fled, and Li Yuan had been consciously guiding his opponent to fight in the center of the street, temporarily avoiding a larger-scale impact.

"What?"

"It's terrifying."

"Such a powerful warrior, and he's so young." The parents and students who had taken refuge in the school were not only terrified but also amazed by the intense battle unfolding over a hundred meters away on the street.

"Big brother." Li Qian and Li Muhua stared intently.

While they were shocked by their older brother's strength, their hearts were filled with worry.

"Quickly."

"Go upstairs. The school's defense system is activated, and help has been requested." Numerous teachers were urging students and faculty to move deeper into the building.

"Li Qian, Li Mu Hua, is that your big brother?" A teacher rushed over to them, her face filled with anxiety.

"Yes," Li Qian nodded firmly.

"Come upstairs. Don't stay here, it's dangerous." The teacher said in a low voice, pulling the two sisters into the crowd, while two other teachers helped clear a path.

...

The sky was now filled with more combat drones, which were not only eliminating the ordinary Fish Spirit Tribe warriors but also had several drones rapidly circling around Li Yuan and his opponent.

They were attempting to assist Li Yuan.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan and the advanced Fish Spirit Tribe warrior were already fully engaged in a fierce battle, and with each swift movement, they covered over ten meters, their speed was incredible.

Moreover, the Fish Spirit Tribe warrior's physical attributes were far superior. A single casual slash of his knife exceeded Li Yuan's burst of power in his Mind's Eye state, leaving Li Yuan no chance to escape.

As a result, the drones could only hover around them, forming a 'firepower defense zone' to prevent the advanced Fish Spirit Tribe warrior from escaping, but they dared not fire.

These drones and combat robots were equipped with a comprehensive 'smart judgment system.'

If ordinary people were being slaughtered, they would decisively open fire, even if it meant endangering a small number of individuals, to prevent further casualties.

But now? According to their intelligent system's assessment, Li Yuan had a chance of victory, and as a powerful warrior, he was of utmost importance, so they couldn't fire.

"Huff!"

"Huff!" Li Yuan's figure flickered as he exerted all his strength, using the Dragon Stride Technique to try and break free, but he was immediately met with terrifying slashes of knife light, lightning-fast and fierce.

This forced Li Yuan to dare not resist head-on.

"The difference in physical attributes is too great," Li Yuan said, his eyes cold. He was only at the 15.9 Rank.

His punching power hadn't even reached 18,000 kilograms, and his Mind's Eye burst was only 35,000 kilograms.

As for his opponent? His technique was likely at the Fourth Stage Advanced, not too shabby, and his punching power during the burst exceeded 50,000 kilograms.

The key factor was the weapon.

If Li Yuan had used a long spear, he would have had a higher chance of success, but the short knife he carried was only for emergencies.

As for why he didn't have a long spear from the start? The ordinary weapons within the school couldn't withstand the force of his attacks.

Could ordinary weapons handle the instantaneous burst and clash of tens of thousands of kilograms of force?

"Kill!" "Kill!"

"With a physical attribute that isn't even strong, probably around the 17.5 Rank, he's withstanding my four knives with just one battle knife." The advanced Fish Spirit Tribe warrior was filled with anxiety.

Clang!

Clang, clang, clang!! The knife light splattered, and the advanced Fish Spirit Tribe warrior's four slashes of knife light howled continuously, yet despite his faster speed, Li Yuan managed to block each attack.

At this moment, Li Yuan's combat technique was nothing short of art, a masterpiece.

The advanced Fish Spirit Tribe warrior didn't understand human language, but with intelligence akin to humans, he was well aware of the situation!

"This human warrior has at least Fourth Stage Advanced technique."

"He's so young, he must be an exceptional human. We must kill him," the advanced Fish Spirit Tribe warrior decided, staring intently at Li Yuan.

"Killing him will be more beneficial than killing ten thousand ordinary humans."

The advanced Fish Spirit Tribe warrior understood this in his heart.

Escape? According to the initial orders from the Mother Fish, once a warrior's position was exposed, they should engage in 'ambush warfare.'

This meant fighting while retreating and slaughtering ordinary people, not engaging in direct confrontation.

A positional war? Not to mention the ferocity of human firearms.

Even a single Essence Warrior would be enough to slaughter hundreds or thousands of Fish Spirit Tribe warriors.

The First and Second Ranks were not on the same level in terms of strength.

The Fish Spirit Star Realm was only a First-Rank Star Realm, and only First-Rank Fish Spirit Clan warriors could pass through its entrances and exits. To reach Second Rank, one must enter the Blue Sphere and then break through, but the chances of that were minuscule.

Therefore, during the frequent ambush battles in Jiangbei Province, there were almost no Second-Rank Fish Spirit Clan warriors.

Fish Spirit Clan members at levels 18 and 19 were already considered top-tier aliens.

Suddenly, a high-ranking Fish Spirit Clan warrior spotted an opening. His short blade transformed into a howling weapon, and he slashed furiously at Li Yuan's arm.

If this strike landed, it would undoubtedly sever Li Yuan's arm.

But, to the Fish Spirit Clan warrior's surprise and anger, just as his blade was about to collide with Li Yuan's arm, Li Yuan's short sleeve instantly solidified like armor, and a layer of pale yellow 'light film' appeared on the surface of his skin.

Li Yuan's arm withstood the blow.

Not only was his arm not severed, but there wasn't even a fracture or a drop of blood.

The short blade felt like it had struck an incredibly thick steel plate.

"How can a First-Rank warrior use a Primordial Energy Battle Suit?" the high-ranking Fish Spirit Clan warrior realized, his heart filled with shock and anger.

He instantly understood it was a trap, but it was too late.

"Clang!"

"Clang!" Li Yuan withstood two slashes from his opponent with lightning speed.

The terrifying impact of the short blade, even after being weakened by the Primordial Energy Battle Suit, still caused Li Yuan's body to convulse with surging energy.

However, it was within his endurance.

This risky move had a purpose.

"Pfft!" A faint, barely noticeable yellow glow appeared on the surface of the short blade in Li Yuan's hand.

Empowered by Primordial Energy!

"Pfft~" The speed of the short blade suddenly increased significantly, and it slashed fiercely at one of the Fish Spirit Clan warrior's arms. Empowered by Primordial Energy, the blade's edge was incredibly sharp, directly slicing through the warrior's resilient arm.

The blade slashed!

"Pfft~" The arm, which even ordinary bullets struggled to harm, snapped off instantly.

Blood splattered.

This seemingly ordinary short blade was actually a Second-Rank Primordial Energy Weapon. Once empowered by Primordial Energy, its might far surpassed that of conventional weapons!

"Ouch~"

The Fish Spirit Clan warrior experienced excruciating pain, feeling both anxious and furious.

He roared, uttering a string of words that Li Yuan couldn't understand.

Li Yuan didn't speak the language.

"Looks like I'll need to study these alien languages later," Li Yuan thought to himself.

Human civilization must have researched these foreign languages.

"Ahhh~" The Fish Spirit Clan warrior endured the excruciating pain in his arm and swung his other three arms, desperately fighting Li Yuan in an attempt to kill him.

"I can block four arms, let alone three," Li Yuan said with a cold gaze.

"Boom!" Li Yuan didn't use Primordial Energy again. Instead, he circulated the energy within his body, as cultivating Primordial Energy was already scarce.

In truth, Li Yuan wasn't yet a true Essence Power Warrior.

Moreover, many of the combat drones were under surveillance, and Li Yuan didn't want to expose this secret.

Severing one of the warrior's arms was enough.

"Clang!" "Boom~" The two continued to fight, but the Fish Spirit Clan warrior's defeat was inevitable.

In less than ten seconds—

"Pfft!" Li Yuan seized another opportunity and slashed at the warrior's arm again.

However, without the empowerment of Primordial Energy, this strike only created a large gash, and blood gushed out.

"Ouch! Ouch!" The Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared.

He finally realized that he couldn't kill Li Yuan, and if he continued to delay, he would be counter-attacked and killed.

Suddenly—

"Boom!" The Fish Spirit Clan warrior's body abruptly retreated, attempting to charge towards the large crowd in the distance.

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

Nearly ten combat drones, already positioned high in the sky and forming a 'crossfire network,' unleashed a torrent of metal bullets.

"Boom~" One of the 'heavy combat drones' decisively fired an 'armor-piercing round.'

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" A barrage of bullets rained down on the Fish Spirit Clan warrior.

"Boom~"

Accompanied by a loud explosion, the already injured Fish Spirit Clan warrior was blown away.

He died with his eyes wide open!

As a nearly 19th-level warrior, his original mission was to kill at least five hundred ordinary people... but he ended up with zero kills.

"Huff!"

Li Yuan stood in place and didn't pursue. Firstly, it was difficult to catch up in a straight chase.

Secondly, he knew the warrior couldn't escape, as the drones were already in position.

"Failed to become a Second-Rank Essence Power Warrior."

"If it were urban warfare, it would be fine." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "Otherwise, in open areas, even 18th and 19th-level Advanced Warriors, facing a large number of attacks from hot weapons, would still meet their end."

After all, they were carbon-based lifeforms.

Even after absorbing Source Energy and advancing their evolution, with their bones and skin becoming incredibly resilient... there was still a limit before becoming a Source Warrior.

"If I were in that situation, I could probably activate my Primordial Energy Battle Suit and rely on my Dragon Stride Technique to charge into that distant building." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Having the Primordial Energy Battle Suit would increase the chances of survival by at least tenfold.

...

Whoosh!

A combat drone descended, its gun barrel facing backward.

"Honorable Warrior Li Yuan, we appreciate your contributions to Jiangcheng. Your merits have been recorded, and once the crisis in Jiangcheng is fully resolved, your merits will be calculated." An electronic voice transmitted from the drone.

These drones could sense everyone's Intelligence Ring Display and quickly match their identities.

"Alright." Li Yuan nodded.

This was a customary procedure.

"Warrior Li Yuan, you can either go home to check on the situation or join the nearby 'City Patrol Team' to assist in the city's rescue efforts." The drone's electronic voice said, "The people of Jiangcheng thank you for your efforts."

After speaking.

Whoosh! Except for three combat drones that remained above the pit to keep watch, the other drones quickly ascended and headed towards other streets... Battles were erupting all over Jiangcheng.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Meanwhile, several small spider robots flew into the pit, beginning data searches and investigations... They had to figure out the movements of the Fish Spirit Clan.

...

Whoosh! Li Yuan returned to the school entrance, and at this moment, the Martial Arts Teachers also rushed over.

The way they looked at Li Yuan was different.

As Warriors, they witnessed firsthand how Li Yuan single-handedly forced a Senior Fish Spirit Warrior to flee for his life, ultimately being shot down by a drone.

"Impressive!"

"A true Warrior."

"Well done!" Many students and family members who had taken refuge in the school were still anxious, but they couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

"Brother!"

"Big Brother." Li Qianqian and Li Muhua squeezed out of the crowd.

"Brother, I just..." Li Qianqian smiled, with a hint of tears in her eyes.

She was genuinely worried.

"It's okay, you know who your brother is." Li Yuan smiled and wiped away the tears from his sister's eyes, "Alright, let's go home first."

"Go home?" Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were both taken aback.

Boom! Not far away, high in the sky, a car-sized mini-flying vehicle quickly descended.

"Teachers, I'll take them and leave first. Everyone, please stay safe." Li Yuan nodded to the school teachers.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan picked up Li Qianqian and Li Muhua and leaped about seven or eight meters high, landing lightly on the flying vehicle.

The vehicle immediately took off, heading towards the Starfire Nanhu Neighborhood.

"It's a flying vehicle from our Starfire Martial Palace."

"An automated flying vehicle, he must have a high status in the Martial Palace." A parent recognized it, as many students' families here had connections with the Starfire Martial Palace.

"Who is he?" Many students and parents were curious.

"It's Li Yuan!"

"Li Qianqian said her brother is Li Yuan, the one who appeared on the show this year and was previously titled 'Youth Hero'." A student exclaimed.

"I remember, I watched his show earlier this year. They said he's Jiangcheng's Martial Arts Prodigy, from a poor family, and he signed with our Starfire Martial Palace."

"Yes, he's the Martial Arts Prodigy."

"Is he Li Yuan?"

"In less than a year, he's become this powerful?" Many students, parents, and even teachers whispered among themselves, all quite excited.

"A Warrior!"

"This is what a Warrior is."

"One day, I want to be like Li Yuan." Many students, having witnessed today's events, unknowingly planted a seed within themselves.

The privileges and status of a Warrior.

It was earned through battles like these.

...

Over sixty meters high in the sky, Li Yuan kept observing the streets below.

From time to time, he spotted passing drones.

Occasionally, there were human corpses on the ground... and many Fish Spirit Warrior corpses.

The battle had been ongoing, and this attack's scale was unprecedented.

Witnessing these scenes, Li Yuan felt a heavy oppression in his heart, "I'll quickly send Qianqian and Muhua back to Nanhu Starfire Community, the safest place."

"After getting my weapons, I'll head to the City Patrol Team to see how I can help."
