"Is there an unknown creature approaching on the radar screen?"
"An unknown creature?"
The group of big-nosed scientists in the command room couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, exchanging glances with a hint of confusion on their faces.
"Could it be a star beast?"
"It's unlikely. This is below the star battlefield; star beasts can't just land here randomly."
"Then... could it be a human martial artist from Jiuzhou? This should be the star battlefield of Jiuzhou, right?"
Everyone looked at the commander, who, after a moment of contemplation, smiled slightly.
"Whoever it is, since they've come, let's have them test our fighters!"
The faces of the group changed slightly.
"Commander, that's not right, is it?"
"What's not right? It's just a star beast, an extraterrestrial star beast! Understand? As long as it's not one of our American martial artists, that's fine!"
Everyone exchanged glances and smiled mischievously.
"Alright! Immediately execute the combat order, eliminate the star beast!"
"Fighter One, acknowledged."
"Fighter Two, acknowledged."
"Fighter Three, acknowledged!"
...
The three fighters, upon receiving the order, immediately sped towards the figure at their fastest speed.
Yexiao, who was testing the Divine Will Technique, suddenly felt a warning from the Tai Xuan Heavenly Gang within his body.
This made him somewhat surprised.
"Is this... a fighter?"
In addition to cultivation, humans had other ways to enhance themselves against star beasts.
The two most famous methods were genetic technology and war technology.
Genetic technology involved unlocking star beast genes and applying them to human genes, thus shortening the time it took for humans to advance, allowing for the rapid and large-scale cultivation of high-level experts. Although it had many severe side effects, its effectiveness was undeniable.
War technology, on the other hand, involved research into thermal weapons, which allowed many countries to create powerful and large-scale weapons on the star beast battlefield. Some of these weapons were even comparable to the attacks of Divine Sect martial artists.
Moreover, the flag on the opposing fighter seemed to belong to America, currently the most technologically advanced region.
Just as Yexiao was thinking, six beams suddenly shot out from the opposing fighter.
These beams were compressed from ultra-high-frequency lasers. The Tai Xuan Heavenly Gang instantly determined that their destructive power was no less than that of an attack from a Fourth Rank Innate Grandmaster.
Moreover, the beams were extremely fast. Yexiao hadn't expected the other side to attack a human martial artist, so he hadn't been overly cautious.
By the time he reacted, the beams were already in front of him.
Yexiao instantly activated the Overlord Saber, slashing out a blade that cut through the air with a dazzling spark, exploding the six beams.
Boom, boom, boom....
The sky seemed to explode with six brilliant fireworks.
Smoke filled the air, and Yexiao, who hadn't cultivated a body-strengthening technique and hadn't been overly cautious, was slightly injured by the sudden attack from six Grandmaster-level beams.
The Heaven-Mending Technique activated, quickly healing his injuries, and his eyes turned cold and devoid of warmth.
The other side's technological level wasn't low; they couldn't have failed to notice he was human.
Yet they still attacked him decisively, clearly using him as a target for practice.
Aunt can tolerate, but Uncle cannot!
...
After the first wave of attacks, the three fighters immediately reported to the command room.
"The target has been eliminated. Request further instructions."
The commander's face showed a hint of disappointment. He had thought it was a big fish from Jiuzhou.
Such a kill might have been a bit of a challenge, but it turned out to be a small fry.
"Alright, return."
"Yes!"
Just as the fighters were about to comply, the radar screen suddenly showed a red signal again.
"He's not dead! He's not dead! He's starting to channel spiritual energy. The radar feedback shows that the spiritual energy fluctuation is that of a Grandmaster! Request permission to launch a new attack."
The commander's eyes lit up. This was getting interesting.
"Approved."
Just as he finished speaking, Fighter One suddenly reported.
"The enemy has disappeared!"
Fighter Two quickly issued an order.
"He hasn't disappeared; he's above you! His speed is very fast, and your radar didn't detect him. Speed up!"
The pilot of Fighter One felt a golden glow radiate from above, and the overwhelming pressure disrupted all the magnetic fields of his fighter.
Before he could look up, he left a final message.
"My God!"
Boom—!
In the next instant, a golden blade covered his fighter, completely detonating it.
"Damn!"
The other two fighters immediately attacked the explosion center.
But in the next second, one of the fighters suddenly exploded!
It had been hit by Yexiao.
"Damn!"
The last Grandmaster-level pilot was terrified and dared not stay. He immediately accelerated to full power, attempting to escape the starfield.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a bright red dot rapidly approaching on the screen, moving at an unbelievable speed.
"Oh my God, the enemy is faster than me! Oh no!"
Boom—!
In the next second, the last fighter was also completely destroyed.
After destroying the three fighters, the air returned to silence.
Clearly, the enemy had left.
In the command room, all the scientists were stunned.
The commander, with one hand on his hip and the other pointing at the screen, was so angry that his fingers began to tremble.
"Is this the fighter you said was comparable to a Grandmaster?"
A chubby scientist cleared his throat and said,
"Perhaps the enemy's combat strength is above that of a Grandmaster."
"You mean a Divine Sect? Don't tell me our radar technology is fake. The most advanced radar in America clearly detected him as a Grandmaster!"
"Um..."
The other side opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"The development cost of this fighter has already exceeded 20 billion dollars, plus the rare alloy materials used, the three fighters cost a total of 40 billion dollars!
Now, they've been cut down one by one like rabbits, and the enemy left unscathed.
We don't even know who the enemy is!
Each of you here will be held responsible!
Wait for my lawsuit! A bunch of fools, f*ck!"
...
After destroying the three high-tech fighters, Yexiao quickly returned to Jianghai City.
America's strength was very strong, with many high-level martial artists.
After suffering a loss, they might send out a Grandmaster or even a Divine Sect expert.
He wasn't afraid, but fighting a high-level expert would take time to determine a winner.
If more people were attracted, his identity would be exposed.
The more holes he poked, the worse it would get.
