Chapter 208: 173: Li Yuan! Full Force Explosion! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

Frontline Base Three, Level Six.

In the vast conference hall, countless beams of light converged, forming two giant screen projections.

One was a holographic projection of the map.

Above it, aside from the undulating mountain ranges and rivers, a multitude of red dots were in motion, with some disappearing from time to time.

The other was a live feed projection.

What it showed was the brutal slaughter currently unfolding at Observation Point 19.

The ling spear-wielding Wu Qiong, with an exceptional bearing, was locked in fierce combat with the burly, unshapely 'Logan,' and she was being completely overpowered.

On the other side, the young Shi Xiao, also wielding twin blades, was teaming up with another 19th level Martial Artist to jointly restrain the hulking 'Mo Long.'

The other human warriors were similarly struggling to fend off the attacks from the Tianliang Clan warriors.

However, with the top combat strength and overall numbers both at a disadvantage, the deaths of Wu Qiong and Shi Xiao seemed only a matter of time.

In front of the screens, three figures furrowed their brows.

They were the chief officers of Frontline Base Three and were all Prime Warriors.

"How far is the reinforcement squad?" The only woman in purple among the three asked sharply.

"Based on their current speed, it should take another 20 minutes to arrive," replied the blue-clothed elder Liu Jing. "They've just encountered a large group of flying alien species... losing a flyer, some had to proceed to the rescue on foot."

"Within 100 kilometers of Observation Point 19, there are only three warrior squads. Wu Qiong's squad was the only one that could arrive swiftly... but her squad alone isn't enough to hold on," Liu Jing continued, "The other squad will take at least another 15 minutes to arrive."

It was he who always took charge of the overall situation, and it was he who had arranged the rescue mission for Observation Point 19 this time.

He paused.

Liu Jing sighed, "The crux is that the strength of this Tianliang Clan's fighting force is too formidable; the two leaders have even used 'Demon Blood Spirit Crystals.' Wu Qiong is among the strongest of High Level Warriors, yet in a one-on-one battle, she's completely at a disadvantage."

"Even if the other squad arrives, I'm afraid they're no match," Liu Jing assessed calmly.

The conference room fell silent.

The overall power of the Tianliang Clan in the Mingxu Star Realm was far greater than that of human civilization, and they could mobilize a stronger force than humans.

"I should have been allowed to go just now," the other young man in white frowned. "If I had been there, the support squad wouldn't have been delayed and would be nearly there by now."

"No, it's not possible."

"Han Chong, I know what you're thinking," Liu Jing addressed the white-clothed young man, "but you must understand, today is just a minor conflict; we three can't take action thoughtlessly."

"Without a major event, we cannot leave the outpost."

"Except in a situation of extreme crisis, we can't leave within 300 kilometers of the base; that's the rule."

"Violating it once might seem to have a benefit, but in the long run, it could bring disaster," Liu Jing spoke softly. "Once it attracts a Flying Heaven level native life-form, it won't just be these few Martial Artists dying, it could lead to the annihilation of our entire outpost."

"Understood, Elder Liu," the white-clothed young man said, his voice subdued. He, of course, knew the rules.

But watching as human warriors were killed, his heart couldn't help but struggle.

"Sometimes, some casualties are inevitable," Liu Jing sighed lightly.

What human civilization established in the Mingxu Star Realm were only 'frontline bases.'

What is a frontline? Essentially a watchpost, meant for observation, information gathering, and minimal resource collection.

Not an 'advance base,' or a 'garrison base.'

Therefore, whether it is Xia Country or the Seven Star Alliance, the resources invested in the Mingxu Star Realm were actually quite limited.

In reality, the main theme of the Mingxu Star Realm was the fierce battle among several horrific Flying Heaven level beings leading their respective clans; mostly, they hunkered down in 'Ming Mountain' at the world's center and rarely paid any attention to the peripheries.

For the Seven Star human civilization's outposts to survive in the long term, they must keep a low profile, avoid drawing the attention of Flying Heaven level beings native to the Mingxu Star Realm as much as possible.

Refraining Prime Warriors from taking action is for this very reason.

Prime Warriors taking action freely, if done too frequently, would inevitably attract the attention of powerful Second Rank alien species.

Once a battle breaks out, should the situation become dire,

The fearsome thermal weaponry capable of extinguishing top-ranked Second Rank alien species at the outpost would most likely draw out Flying Heaven level native life-forms.

It would be a disaster.

"Hm?" Liu Jing's eyes suddenly brightened, "No, perhaps there's a turning point."

"Xu An has arrived," Liu Jing announced.

"Xu An?"

"Who is Xu An?" Both the white-clothed young man Han Chong and the woman in purple showed puzzled expressions.

They rarely handled specific affairs and were not up-to-speed with Li Yuan's matters.

"You will know soon enough," There was a hint of expectation in Liu Jing's eyes.

...

Observation Point 19.

Whoosh! The moment Li Yuan rushed into the corridor, he saw several human corpses, their attire indicating they were 'ordinary people' stationed at the observation point.

This scene involuntarily reminded Li Yuan of the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City.

Back then, he had seen a large number of similar corpses.

At this moment, Li Yuan's killing intent grew stronger.

At the end of the corridor were three purple-robed figures brandishing blades, who had been casually conversing, seemingly assigned to perimeter watch.

"A Seven Stars human Martial Artist has come," The three purple-robed figures immediately noticed Li Yuan, first tense, but then revealing contempt.

"Only 17th level."

"The Life Detector shows he's only 17th level," one of the purple-robed figures said indifferently, "Kill him."

Without hesitation,

The other two purple-robed figures flipped their hands to produce throwing darts, and with a fierce motion, they hurled the darts toward Li Yuan with a whoosh.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The speed of these darts was astonishing, instantly reaching supersonic speeds, and they were also extremely heavy. In terms of impact force alone, they far exceeded that of some bullets.
