Chapter 172: Humans? Aliens! Kill!
Chapter 172: Humans? Aliens! Kill!
Within a 1000-kilometer radius of the war base, the signal was still decent.
If the base wanted, they could easily contact human warriors in this area, and even roughly locate them through their smart ring tables. However, beyond 1000 kilometers, direct contact became challenging.
Within 1000 kilometers, if human warriors were within 3 kilometers of each other, they would usually receive a sense of each other's presence, minimizing the risk of friendly fire.
But what if they didn't sense each other?
There were three possibilities. One, the warriors didn't want to reveal their whereabouts and had turned off the positioning system on their smart ring tables.
Two, their smart ring tables were lost or damaged.
The last possibility was that they weren't human warriors but aliens.
This area was only 600 kilometers away from the human war base and was barely within their sphere of influence.
Would the powerful beings of the Tianliang Civilization venture this far?
"Judging by their attire, they do resemble our human warriors," Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, and with a slight movement of his body, he vanished into the slightly dim bushes like a gust of wind.
With Li Yuan's current skill, even without deliberately cultivating assassination techniques, his ability to hide after achieving unity with heaven and earth was no less than that of some formidable assassins.
After all, the essence of stealth was to blend into the environment, making it impossible for others to detect you.
And the Heaven-Earth Unity practitioners sought to become one with heaven and earth.
A master of a hundred arts.
To Heaven-Earth Unity practitioners, various skills and techniques that ordinary people believed required extensive training, could be quickly mastered.
...
Li Yuan's spirit reached out, and his perception was astonishing.
He had long detected the three faint purple human figures moving through the forest.
But these three figures hadn't noticed Li Yuan's presence at all.
"Old Two, Old Three, keep a close eye on the surroundings. We've entered the activity range of the Seventh Star Civilization, and we might encounter human warriors at any moment," said the tall, thin figure with disheveled hair, keeping an eye on the surroundings as he spoke.
His features resembled those of the Xia Guo people, but his skin was darker, and his pronunciation was unique. The language he spoke was entirely different from that of the human race.
"Hmm."
"Even if they see us from a distance, they might not recognize us because our disguises are so convincing."
"We're just responsible for scouting and surveillance. The ones doing the chasing and capturing are the captain and his team. Judging by the time, they should be close to catching them." The two purple-robed figures, holding weapons, responded quietly.
The three of them formed a subtle battle formation, constantly vigilant and scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, as if searching for something.
Suddenly—
"Who's there!" The leading purple-robed figure seemed to sense something and roared, this time using a slightly awkward Xia Guo language.
The other two purple-robed figures were startled, as they hadn't sensed anything yet.
"Huff!" Silently,
In the bushes about fifty meters to the side of the three figures, a young man in black appeared, holding a black spear and wearing a slightly innocent smile.
"Seniors, it's me! I've finally found some living people!" The young man in black waved his spear excitedly and shouted.
His voice echoed through the mountains, drawing attention, and his smile was eye-catching.
The three purple-robed figures exchanged glances.
"He's a human warrior, and he's not very old. I estimate he was just resting over there," said the tall, thin figure in a purple robe, his voice soft. "Based on his life force detection, he's probably around level 17. Let's observe if there are any others, and when we get closer, we'll strike."
Level 17?
The two purple-robed figures beside him subconsciously relaxed their vigilance, as they were both level 18 warriors, and their captain was close to level 19.
A one-level difference in physical proficiency could result in a significant gap in strength.
"Little brother, which team are you from?" The tall, thin figure in the purple robe revealed a smile and led his team to approach the young man in black.
"I'm from the Suzuki Squad," the young man in black replied with a laugh. "I'm here for the first time, and I got separated from my team. Which warrior squad are you from, seniors?"
"Oh?"
"The Suzuki Squad? I've heard of them." The tall, thin figure in the purple robe responded to Li Yuan.
With only a few dozen meters between them, both sides quickly closed the distance to within twenty meters in just a few seconds.
The next instant—
Swish! Swish! The two purple-robed figures on either side of the tall, thin figure burst into action, their speed skyrocketing to a terrifying level as they charged at the young man in black from the left and right.
"With the combined strength of Wei Lao and Zhen Hong, they should be able to handle a level 17 warrior," thought the tall, thin figure in the purple robe.
But, to his surprise—
The young man in black didn't panic or hesitate as he had expected. Instead, he burst into action simultaneously, and his speed was even faster and more ferocious.
"Not good, he's hiding his strength!" The tall, thin figure in the purple robe's face changed, and he immediately drew his battle sword, trying to save his companions.
But it was too late.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The three figures clashed in mid-air like lightning.
"Whoosh!"
The long spear whistled through the air, carrying a terrifying screech, and pierced straight towards the two purple-robed figures.
Too fast.
The power and speed Li Yuan unleashed in an instant shocked all three purple-robed figures.
"Careful!" The tall, thin figure in the purple robe instinctively spoke in his native language.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! As the figures and spear shadows intertwined, blood splattered everywhere.
The necks of the two purple-robed figures instantly had gaping blood holes.
Their weapons clattered to the ground, and their bodies slammed into the grass.
Until their deaths, the two purple-robed figures couldn't believe what they were seeing. How could a human youth, supposedly at level 17, suddenly become so formidable?
Boom!
Li Yuan, having killed the two with a single spear thrust, showed no signs of stopping.
"Die!" The tall, thin figure in the purple robe roared, his body moving like a ghost as he wielded a massive weapon like a battle sword.
As the strongest among the three, he was startled by Li Yuan's sudden burst of power.
However, at such close range, he had no choice but to engage in close combat, unable to retreat.
"When facing a long weapon with a short one, as long as I seize the slightest opportunity for close-quarters combat, I'll have a chance."
"Moreover, this Seventh Star human's life tier isn't as strong as mine. As long as I can block this wave, I can take the opportunity to escape." These thoughts flashed through the mind of the tall, thin figure in the purple robe.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Yuan's long spear whistled towards him, instantly creating dozens of phantoms. The spear tip howled, enveloping his entire body in countless rays of light.
This was one of the five deadly moves of the Stellar Spear Technique, known as 'Star Dawn'.
It was a defensive move, but if one's realm was high enough, it could also be used as an offensive technique.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" Countless spear shadows howled, and although Li Yuan's physical proficiency was clearly weaker, his spear was significantly faster than the tall, thin figure in the purple robe. Each strike was precise and ruthless to the extreme.
One strike after another.
Li Yuan had taken complete control.
Each spear thrust caused the tall, thin figure in the purple robe to shiver deep within, as if walking the edge of death. He had no time to think, only to wield his battle sword with all his might to parry the attacks.
Nine consecutive clashes.
Under the terrifying force, the surrounding soil and rocks were sent flying in all directions.
"Up!" Li Yuan roared, his long spear dancing as he suddenly struck down with a furious blow, heavily smashing the arms of the tall, thin figure in the purple robe.
This time, the tall, thin figure couldn't withstand the collision, and the terrifying force sent him flying backward uncontrollably.
The power was overwhelming.
As a Tier 1 and Tier 2 warrior who couldn't yet fly, it was rare for them to be sent flying during close combat.
Pfft!
"Thud!" Seizing the opportunity, Li Yuan quickly followed up with a thrust, his long spear whistling. Instantly, a blood hole appeared on each of the tall, thin figure's shoulders, almost tearing his arms apart.
"Bang~" The tall, thin figure's body heavily slammed into the nearby cliff, sending countless stones flying. The excruciating pain in his arms felt like they were being torn from the inside, causing him to lose his grip on the battle sword.
"Clang~" "Clang~" The battle sword fell to the ground.
The tall, thin figure's body was also affected by the force, and he fell from the cliff, barely managing to stand up. He had lost all combat ability.
Boom! A black flash of light shot in.
"Whoosh!" Another spear shadow flashed by.
Crack~ The sound of two kneecaps shattering exploded.
The tall, thin figure's knees exploded, instantly becoming a bloody mess. He could no longer withstand the impact and fell face-first to the ground, kneeling heavily.
With both arms and knees disabled, he lost his ability to move.
"Bang~" Another kick sent the tall, thin figure flying several meters away, landing heavily.
He lay face-up, drenched in blood, clearly suffering from consecutive heavy injuries, making it difficult for him to move.
However, with his strong vitality, his heart and head hadn't suffered fatal injuries, and he wouldn't die within a short time.
Huff!
Li Yuan stood five meters away, not approaching, and stared coldly at the tall, thin figure in the purple robe.
A ship that sails cautiously will sail for ten thousand years. Even with an absolute advantage, one must remain vigilant.
In reality...
If it weren't for wanting to capture a live one for interrogation, Li Yuan's strength would have been enough to defeat him within five moves.
"Talan clan, you understand the human language." Li Yuan said coldly, "I ask, you answer. I promise to give you a quick death, or you'll definitely regret it."
"Regret?" The purple-robed figure on the ground sneered, "Seventh Star human, don't even think about getting any useful information from me. Don't underestimate the willpower of the Talan clan. It's best if you kill me now."
"Otherwise, when our people arrive, you'll surely die." The purple-robed figure glared at Li Yuan, his blood flowing. He felt his vitality slipping away, moving closer to death.
Constantly approaching death.
"Your people?" Li Yuan smiled indifferently, "Do you still have many people coming?"
"Hmph." The purple-robed figure coldly hummed, refusing to say more.
"If you don't drink the wine of respect, you'll drink the wine of punishment." Li Yuan shook his head slightly, and a light brown pill appeared in his hand.
Buzz~
Li Yuan's body was enveloped in a black battle suit, and he flew towards the purple-robed figure, forcing the pill into the other's mouth, making him swallow it.
"Source Power Armor?" The purple-robed figure was shocked, then sneered, "No matter what drug it is, don't think it'll make me talk."
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"A drug specifically for interrogation."
"One pill is worth ten thousand Blue Star Coins." Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Almost as painful as a tenth of the Bone Spirit Wither... Let's see how tough you are."
Li Yuan had prepared twenty of these pills, specifically for the aliens.
To cultivate to the level of an advanced warrior, ordinary pain, like that of losing a hand or foot, was easily bearable.
Special measures were necessary.
In just a few dozen seconds.
"I'll talk."
"I'll tell you everything." The purple-robed figure couldn't hold on any longer and began screaming in agony.
...
Soon, Li Yuan obtained the intelligence he sought from the purple-robed figure.
Without hesitation.
Li Yuan contacted the base via communication and reported the situation.
"Warrior Xu An, you've done well."
"This is intelligence we were unaware of."
"However, Observation Point 19 has already been attacked by a large number of Talan warriors, and according to the distress signal, there are no Tier 2 warriors present." A solemn voice came through the communication, "We've dispatched a support squad on a flying vehicle to Observation Point 19... But traveling by flying vehicle is risky, and they may not arrive in time."
"The nearest ones."
"Two warrior squads have already set out for rescue. We hope you can provide support as well."
"Okay, I'll leave immediately." Li Yuan replied solemnly, surprised that Observation Point 19 was already under siege, "What about this Talan?"
"Kill him on the spot!"
