Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Humans? Aliens! Kill!
In the war base\'s 1,000-kilometer radius, the signal is usually good. The base can contact human martial artists in this area at any time and even roughly locate them through the smart ring. Beyond 1,000 kilometers, direct contact becomes difficult. Within 1,000 kilometers, if human martial artists are within 3 kilometers of each other, they usually receive a notification to avoid friendly fire.
No notification? There are three possible reasons: one, the martial artists don\'t want to reveal their whereabouts and have turned off the smart ring\'s positioning system; two, the smart ring is lost or damaged; or three, the individuals are not human martial artists but aliens.
This area is only about 600 kilometers from the human war base, which is barely within their sphere of influence. Could strong beings from the Heavenly Virtue civilization come all the way here?
"From their attire, they do resemble human martial artists," Li Yuan\'s eyes narrowed. He moved like a gust of wind, disappearing into the slightly dark forest.
With his current skill level, although he hasn\'t specifically practiced assassination techniques, his ability to hide and move silently after achieving harmony with nature is comparable to that of some skilled assassins. After all, what is stealth? Essentially, it is blending into the environment so that others cannot detect you. Achieving harmony with nature means becoming one with the environment. A person who achieves this level of mastery can quickly become proficient in various skills and techniques that would normally take a lot of training.
Li Yuan\'s mental power was extended, and he detected the three figures in purple robes moving through the forest. These figures had no idea of Li Yuan\'s presence.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, stay alert and be cautious. We\'ve entered the activity zone of the Seven Star civilization and might encounter human martial artists at any moment," said the lean, tall man in purple robes. He was vigilant, scanning the surroundings. His face resembled those from China, though his skin was darker, and his speech was distinct, with a language entirely different from human languages.
"Hmm."
"Even though we\'ve disguised ourselves to look like them, they might not recognize us from a distance."
"We\'re only responsible for scouting and warning. The team leader and others are the ones tasked with capturing. According to the time, they should be closing in soon," the other two figures in purple robes, holding weapons, responded gruffly.
The three of them were forming a combat formation, constantly observing their surroundings with sharp eyes as if searching for something.
Suddenly.
"Who!" The leading figure in purple robes seemed to sense something and shouted in a slightly awkward chinese language.
The other two figures in purple robes were startled but had not yet noticed anything.
"Whoosh!" Without a sound.
A young man in black attire suddenly appeared about fifty meters away in the forest. He held a black spear and had a slightly innocent smile on his face.
"Hello, seniors, it\'s me. I finally found some living people," the young man in black excitedly waved his spear and shouted.
The voice echoed in the forest, very noticeable, along with the young man\'s smile.
The three figures in purple robes looked at each other.
"It\'s a human martial artist, not very old, probably just resting here earlier," the lean, tall figure said softly. "From the life aura, he seems to be around level 17. Let\'s observe if there are more people, and once we get close, we\'ll capture and interrogate him."
Level 17?
The two figures in purple robes beside him relaxed their vigilance slightly. They were both level 18 warriors, and their team leader was close to level 19. A one-level difference in physical quality could result in a significant gap in strength.
"Little brother, which team are you from?" The lean, tall figure in purple robes smiled and approached.
"I\'m from the Suzuki team," the young man in black said with a smile. "This is my first time here, and I got separated from them. Which team are you seniors from?"
"Oh?"
"The Suzuki team? I\'ve heard of them," the lean, tall figure in purple robes replied to Li Yuan.
The distance, originally tens of meters, quickly closed to within twenty meters in just a few seconds.
In the next moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The two figures in purple robes beside the lean, tall figure suddenly surged forward with terrifying speed, one on the left and one on the right, charging at the young man in black.
"With the combined strength of Wei Lao and Zhen Hong, we should be able to subdue him in a few moves," the lean, tall figure thought.
However, contrary to his expectations, the young man in black did not react with panic or confusion. Instead, he sprang into action almost simultaneously, with even greater speed and ferocity.
"Not good, he\'s hiding his strength," the lean, tall figure\'s expression changed, and he immediately exploded with energy, drawing his battle sword to try to save his two companions.
But it was already too late.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The three figures clashed like lightning in mid-air.
"Whoosh!"
The spear whistled with a terrifying shriek, piercing right in front of the two purple-robed figures.
Too fast.
Li Yuan\'s explosive speed and power stunned the three purple-robed figures.
"Be careful." The lean, tall figure instinctively spoke in his native language.
Pfft! Pfft!
The figures collided, the spear shadow intertwined, and a large amount of blood splattered.
The necks of the two purple-robed figures instantly had huge blood holes.
Their weapons clattered to the ground, and their bodies fell heavily onto the grass.
In their last moments, the two purple-robed figures couldn\'t believe their eyes. How could a human youth, clearly at level 17, become so powerful suddenly?
"Boom!"
After killing the two, Li Yuan didn\'t pause and immediately engaged with the lean, tall figure in purple robes.
"Die!" The lean, tall figure roared, his figure like a ghost, swinging a huge weapon similar to a battle sword.
As the strongest among the three, despite being intimidated by Li Yuan\'s explosive power, he had no choice but to fight back at close range.
"Facing a long weapon with a short one, if I can find a chance to engage in close combat, I have a chance."
"Moreover, this Seven Star person\'s life level is not as strong as mine. As long as I block a wave of attacks, I can escape," the lean, tall figure thought.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Yuan\'s spear whistled and transformed into dozens of phantoms. The spear tip howled, like countless lights surrounding him.
It was one of the five killing moves of the Stardust Spear Technique, \'Stardust Dawn\'.
Although it was a defensive move, it could also be used as an offensive move if the realm was high enough.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" Countless spear shadows howled. Even though Li Yuan\'s physical quality was much weaker, his spear was much faster than the lean, tall figure\'s, precise and ruthless.
One spear strike after another.
Li Yuan completely took the initiative.
Each spear strike sent a chill down the lean, tall figure\'s spine, as if he was teetering on the edge of death. He couldn\'t think much and could only use all his strength to swing his battle sword to block.
After nine consecutive clashes.
Under the terrifying force, the surrounding soil and rocks flew chaotically.
"Rise." Li Yuan shouted angrily, swinging his spear heavily, striking the lean, tall figure\'s arms.
In this collision, the lean, tall figure could no longer hold on. The terrifying force sent him flying uncontrollably.
As a first or second-tier strong warrior who couldn\'t fly, in close combat, one would rarely allow themselves to be airborne.
Pfft!
"Thud!" Seizing the opportunity, Li Yuan thrust forward, his spear howling as it created blood holes in the lean, tall figure\'s shoulders.
His arms were almost torn apart.
"Bang!" The lean, tall figure\'s body slammed into a nearby mountain wall, kicking up countless fragments. The excruciating pain in his arms made him drop his battle sword.
"Clang!" "Clang!" The battle sword fell to the ground.
The lean, tall figure\'s body, suffering from the impact, fell to the ground and barely stood up, his combat ability completely lost.
Boom! A black flash darted in.
"Whoosh!" Another spear shadow flashed by.
Crack! The sounds of shattered knee bones exploded.
The lean, tall figure\'s knees exploded, instantly becoming a mess of blood and flesh. He could no longer withstand it and fell to his knees, face down.
With his arms and knees both incapacitated, he lost his ability to move.
"Thud!" Another kick sent the lean, tall figure flying several meters, crashing down heavily.
He lay on his back, bloodied, clearly suffering from severe injuries and unable to move further.
However, with his strong vitality, his heart and head were unharmed, so he wouldn\'t die immediately.
Li Yuan stood five meters away, not approaching, coldly staring at the lean, tall figure.
Even with an absolute advantage, caution is always necessary.
"If it weren\'t for wanting to capture you alive for questioning, with your strength, I could have killed you within five moves."
"From the Heavenly Virtue civilization, you understand human language," Li Yuan said coldly. "I ask, you answer. If you answer, I promise to give you a quick death. Otherwise, you\'ll definitely regret it."
"Regret?" The purple-robed, lean figure on the ground sneered. "Seven Star human, don\'t think you can pry anything useful from me. Don\'t underestimate the willpower of our Heavenly Virtue people. You better kill me quickly."
"Otherwise, when our reinforcements arrive, you\'ll definitely die," the purple-robed figure glared at Li Yuan viciously, feeling his vitality ebbing away and moving toward death.
"Your reinforcements?" Li Yuan smiled faintly. "Do you still have many coming?"
"Hmph." The purple-robed figure snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit," Li Yuan shook his head slightly. A light brown pill appeared in his hand.
Buzz~
Li Yuan, enveloped in his black battle suit, quickly approached the purple-robed figure and forced the pill into his mouth, making him swallow it.
"Source Force Battle Suit?" The purple-robed figure was shocked, then sneered again. "No matter the drug, don\'t think you can..."
"Aaahhh!"
His body began to tremble violently.
"Special interrogation drug."
"One pill costs ten thousand Blue Star coins," Li Yuan murmured to himself. "It\'s almost equivalent to one-tenth of the pain from a Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither... Let\'s see if your willpower is strong enough."
Li Yuan had prepared 20 of these pills specifically for the aliens.
For those who have reached the level of advanced warriors, ordinary pain, like severed limbs, is easily endured. Special methods must be used.
In just a few seconds.
"I\'ll talk."
"I\'ll tell you everything," the purple-robed figure could no longer hold on and began to scream wildly.
Soon, Li Yuan obtained the intelligence he needed from the purple-robed figure.
Without hesitation, he contacted the base and quickly reported the situation.
"Xu An, you did well."
"This is intelligence we didn\'t know."
"However, Observation Point 19 has been attacked by a large number of Heavenly Virtue civilization\'s strong warriors. According to the distress signals, there don\'t seem to be any second-tier warriors," the voice on the communication channel was serious. "We have dispatched a support team via aircraft to Observation Point 19... but flying is risky, and they may not arrive in time."
"Nearby."
"Two martial artist teams have already gone to assist. We hope you can also provide support."
"Understood. I will set off immediately." Li Yuan said solemnly. Observation Point 19 was under siege?
"What about this Heavenly Virtue figure?" Li Yuan inquired.
"Kill on the spot!"
