From Shen Yiran's sudden death to the collective murder of the base's senior leaders, in just one day, undercurrents surged among the psychics, and the struggle for power has developed directly from private to open, and neither side wants to give in.
There were even bloody incidents on the streets, causing panic among the people.
In order to support Li Qing and recuperate his mental strength, Yan Yu did not leave the base as planned to continue killing zombies. Instead, he followed the Egret team into the official office and confronted other psychics.
All the Level V psychics in the base (excluding the senior ones killed by Yan Yu and the others, there are still 36 people left), as well as many peak Level IV and captains of large private teams, at least a hundred people were present.
"Li Qing, it must be your Egret Team that killed that person!" He started to blame everyone.
"Indeed, many people saw the base's top brass heading over to your location last night. Not long after, a fierce battle broke out in front of your gate. And then there was the broadcast recording you released!"
Now that those high-ranking officials were nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead, they had reason to suspect that the Egret Squad had destroyed their bodies.
"Come to think of it, Shen Yiran suddenly died after running into you at the gate. No one would believe you weren't involved! You murderers, you actually want to take the leadership position at the base! Pah!"
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with condemnation.
Li Qing subconsciously looked back at Yan Yu, and Yan Yu nodded at her, meaning that she could make all the decisions and she was her strongest support.
With Yan Yu around, Li Qing, who was originally a little nervous about facing the attack of hundreds of people, seemed to have been injected with a shot of adrenaline. His shoulders and back straightened, and his expression suddenly became extremely resolute.
Li Qing admitted generously: "Yes, we did kill them, but they attacked first, and we just fought back."
Hearing Li Qing's words, everyone was in an uproar, followed by excitement like someone being pulled by a pigtail: "Great, you actually admit it! A murderer has no right to be the leader of the base!"
"Yes, murderer, get out of the base!"
Li Qing sneered and immediately used her new skill—Mental Pressure. "Excuse me, is there anyone here who hasn't taken a life? Why do you have such high moral standards when it comes to treating others?"
Everyone's faces paled under the mental pressure of the early stage of Level V, their eyes filled with horror: "How is it possible, you actually reached Level V!?"
Just a few days ago, Li Qing was a level III psychic who wasn't to be feared. Due to injuries, her abilities were limited. Unexpectedly, in just five days, her abilities had skyrocketed. How on earth did she do it?!
Some of the psychics looked fierce and simply condensed their superpowers to instantly attack the Egret Team.
"Everyone, attack together. Li Qing is a psychic and must not be left alive!" This was a psychic who had been hypnotized by Shen Yiran. He had a strong resistance to psychic powers and was afraid of everything.
Li Qing was unceremonious and ordered Miao Jinyan, Liu Shuqin and others: "Fight back!"
For a moment, in the magnificent government hall, fire and sword lights intersected, various strange plants spread wantonly, and the sounds of thunder and lightning and waves roared continuously... In a short moment, the buildings affected by countless attacks became ruins.
Everyone moved outside, and many people heard the noise and watched from a distance, not daring to get close.
"Oh no! They're almost all at peak level V. Everyone, be careful!"
They originally wanted to rely on their level and number advantages to suppress the Egret Team, but within ten seconds of the battle, they were horrified to find that not only Li Qing's level had increased, but the strength of Liu Shuqin, Xiao Xu, Hong Ling and Miao Jinyan in their team had also skyrocketed. In just a few rounds, they were forced to retreat several steps!
Following Yan Yu's previous advice, Liu Shuqin used her water-based abilities to control the reverse flow of blood in the attacker's body. In just ten seconds, the man exploded and died in agony.
This also allowed everyone to witness for the first time the power of auxiliary abilities.
Hong Ling planted the alien plant seeds in the bodies of other psychics, and then stimulated them to grow. The parasitic alien plants quickly absorbed the vitality of the psychics and broke out of their bodies, blooming gorgeous flowers on their shriveled bodies. Then, Hong Ling collected more seeds.
Xiao Xu and Miao Jinyan cooperated with each other, and the big fireballs stacked on the small fireballs shot out like bullets. Coupled with Li Qing's indiscriminate mental shock wave, the psychics who were shocked by the shock wave not only had severe pain in their heads, but also moved much slower than before. As a result, they were hit directly by the fireballs.
"Ahhh, it hurts!!!" Screams and howls rang out one after another.
Some psychics were more clever, trying to dodge the larger fireballs and not taking the smaller ones seriously. Unbeknownst to them, the smaller fireballs were compressed by Miao Jinyan, a Level VI fire psychic. They were nearly five or six times hotter than the larger ones, and anyone exposed to them would die.
There is a clear dividing line between Level V and Level VI. Once you cross Level VI, it's like a sudden enlightenment, and you will be able to spontaneously understand the method of cultivating your own supernatural powers. You no longer need to rely solely on crystal cores to advance, and your cultivation speed will also increase by leaps and bounds.
The next second, even more shrill screams were heard, and then they quickly stopped. Those clever guys were cremated a few breaths ago, leaving only piles of ashes.
Liu Shuqin took a moment out of her busy schedule to boast, "Brother Yan has already advanced to Level VI. I'm afraid all of you combined are no match for him."
Attackers: “!!!”
Did these people eat catalysts? Why did their levels increase so quickly?
What they didn't know was that while they were scheming against each other for a high-level crystal core that matched their own supernatural attributes, and fighting each other to the point of bleeding, and keeping the crystal cores of other attributes tightly under their control, the Egret Team had really stuffed in a lot of crystal cores.
As their leader, Yan Yu was generous and generous. He distributed all the crystal cores he got to them as long as they needed them. If they didn't have any, he would find a way to get them. He had to push them to the highest level anyway.
While others were still fighting over a crystal core, they got at least three or four hundred crystal cores from Yan Yu, including of course the extremely rare Grade V crystal core.
If others knew about this, they would surely be envious to the point of crying.
They were so lucky to have met such a powerful and generous boss that they could die without any regrets.
Without Yan Yu, they would have died in the last mission long ago. How could they have achieved such a great success now?
The attackers were quickly beaten to pieces and retreated step by step. One of them saw that the Egret Squad was going to annihilate them all, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes. He flashed in front of Yan Yu, determined to take Yan Yu with him before he died.
He had investigated this person. She was a new member of the Egret Team, a space-based mutant. Even if she was promoted to level IV or V, she would not have much combat power.
Moreover, during the battle between Li Qing and the others, she hid aside and watched the whole time, unable to get involved at all, which shows how weak her strength is.
The other people are really not easy to deal with. Maybe by holding Yan Yu hostage, he can force them to let him live.
Thinking of this, the man clenched the poisoned sword in his hand. Under the control of his supernatural power, more than a dozen metal swords emitting cold light pierced straight into Yan Yu, first destroying half of her life, and then taking her hostage.
Yan Yu raised her eyelashes slightly, and the flaming double blades immediately appeared in her hands, blocking in front of her. The moment the long sword approached her, she raised the blade and slashed it down.
The originally very hard metal sword seemed to turn into tofu after encountering Yan Yu's long sword. It was directly chopped into two pieces and shattered to the ground.
The moment the sword and the knife blade collided, there was a sharp cracking sound, and the sparks produced by the collision immediately splashed all over the ground, illuminating the shock in the eyes of the man and countless onlookers.
The man who was originally confident of victory immediately slammed on the brakes. You know, he is a late-stage V-level gold-attribute mutant, and his strength ranks among the top ten in the base.
The hardness of his sword was far superior to that of ordinary metals. It was no exaggeration to say that it could cut through iron like mud. Even the level IV zombies that were known for their iron walls could be chopped down without any problems. Unexpectedly, they were still no match for Yan Yu's sword.
Why did she possess such an extraordinary weapon?! If this weapon struck him, he would definitely be decapitated!
Besides, isn't she recognized as the weakest in the space system? Why can she easily break his attack?
Before the man could figure it out, Liu Shuqin took the time to brag again, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Yan Yu is our boss, more powerful than all of us combined."
The man's eyes widened so wide that the corners of his eyes were almost bloodshot: "!!!?"
What kind of luck did he have? After choosing for so long, he actually picked the toughest one. No, he had to run! If he didn't run now, it would be too late... Ugh!
There was a sudden sharp pain in his chest, and the man only had time to lower his head and catch a glimpse of the red blade before he fell to the ground with a bang.
Those psychics who attacked the Egret Team with him didn't even see Yan Yu's movements clearly. They only felt a flash of light and shadow. The next second, a late-stage Level V psychic who had the support of hundreds of people in the Xianfeng Base was killed.
The remaining few psychics were filled with horror: "No, impossible!"
Even now, they still couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes, feeling as if they were dreaming. The Egret Squad, which they had once disdained, had grown into a behemoth they couldn't afford to provoke just a few days ago. Wasn't this really a dream?
Some people cried and begged for mercy, some turned and fled, and some were shocked to the point of numbness. The Egret Team spared no one of these people and strangled them together.
After eliminating the psychics who were most hostile to them, the other psychics remaining at the scene were unable to make a sound for a long time.
After all, the psychics who attacked the Egret Team were a minority, less than 20 people. The remaining high-level psychics and captains of large teams were not fools. Since Li Qing and others dared to openly kill the former high-level leaders of the base and stand up, it proved that they had something to rely on and were determined to get that position.
Now it seems that they were right not to act rashly.
Liu Shuqin and the other three are at the peak of level V, plus the extremely difficult level V spiritual system, Miao Jinyan who is approaching level VI, and especially the unpredictable Yan Yu, the six members of the Egret Team are all very difficult to deal with.
Yan Yu was full of vigor and had an invisible edge. "Everyone, this base has always respected strength. I wonder if my people are qualified to join the top management of the base?"
The words were questions, but the meaning was very clear: I only accept affirmative answers. If you disagree, I will beat you until you agree.
