In fact, Lu Qingshan discovered this when the probe was a billion kilometers away.
Little did he know that these people were after their Green Feather Squad.
Later, by listening to their conversation through the detector, they learned their target; by then, the other side had already firmly locked onto their location.
Otherwise, Lu Qingshan would not have intended to expose himself.
However, the quota of military merits awarded in the Outer Domain Battlefield has already been completed within a century, so exposing some before leaving is not a big deal.
" Han Li, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that some Alien Race is attacking?"
Azure Feather Marquis hurriedly checked his detector and found that no Alien Race had approached.
However, the trust built up over a century made him believe in Han Li more than in his own detector.
Lu Qingshan looked up into the distance and said, "A squad of Immortal God from the Machine Race, one High-level Marquis and four Early Marquis, are 80 million kilometers away from us."
"What!"
Azure Feather Marquis was shocked.
The Dwarf and the Mang Han stared at Lu Qingshan in astonishment. Four powerful Marquis were 80 million kilometers away from them, so why hadn't their captain's detector reacted?
How did Han Li find out?
Could Han Li's detector be even higher than the captain's?
Lu Qingshan continued, "One of them is known as the Light Sword Marquis, and the rest are his subordinates."
"Run!"
Upon hearing this name, Azure Feather Marquis did not hesitate at all, while the Mang Han beside him trembled all over.
"It's them! Our enemies back in the Heavenly Thunder Archipelago! They wiped out our Green Feather Squad, and now they've tracked us down here!"
The Mang Han found it hard to believe.
"You all go into my World Ring. Run away now! It's 80 million kilometers. We still have a chance to escape."
Without further hesitation, Azure Feather Marquis took the others into his World Ring. Apart from Lu Qingshan, no one offered any resistance.
" Han Li, you..."
"I'm fine. My detectors are far more advanced than theirs. With me here, I can completely block their detection. However, this place has already been exposed."
Lu Qingshan spoke.
"Walk!"
Without saying a word, Azure Feather Marquis rushed out of the stronghold and ran towards the Barracks Base.
Lu Qingshan activated the shielding function of the small detector at the opportune moment.
The spaceship sped along, heading towards the outer edge of the Shattered Star Belt. Once they reached the transfer point, they could quickly leave this place.
It's a pity the Alien Race is right behind us; otherwise, finding a secluded place and using the Divine Kingdom Teleportation would be the best solution!
However, Divine Kingdom Teleportation takes time, and this is the Shattered Star Belt, where enemies can be encountered everywhere. If the location of the Divine Kingdom is exposed, the consequences will be even more troublesome.
" Han Li, where are they?"
"Azure Feather Marquis asked."
"They're still ten million kilometers from our previous position. They've increased their speed; they must have realized the target had disappeared and are now in a hurry."
Lu Qingshan's large-scale detector is worth 6 billion points, which would require tens of billions of Hunyuan Unit in the outside world. It is more advanced than most detectors that have reached the King-level Immortal. Every move of the Machine Race team is under his control.
"Thank goodness... Han Li... you kept it a secret too well. Your detector is probably more than ten times more advanced than mine."
Azure Feather Marquis was shocked. Even if he was stupid, he would know that Han Li in front of him was definitely not an ordinary World Lord General. With such a high-end detector, he must be Heart Realm Lord genius of the major Human Race forces. No wonder his strength was so much stronger than others.
"Ten times... about right." Lu Qingshan didn't want to discourage him too much, so he didn't mention the specific value of his detector.
"They've reached their destination and haven't found us... They went and slaughtered an Immortal squad of a Human Race ally..."
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly, a flash of anger in his eyes.
For a century in the Shattered Star Belt, the Green Feather Squad had formed an alliance with several nearby squads, but unexpectedly, it was because of the Green Feather Squad that they were implicated.
When Azure Feather Marquis learned that the squad had been wiped out, he remained silent for a long time.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have provoked such a powerful enemy. Not only did it harm so many teammates, but it also ruined the allies of the Shattered Star Belt..."
"Slaying Alien Race is our duty, there's no right or wrong in it. But next time, the name of this Green Feather Squad will probably have to be changed."
Lu Qingshan offered a word of comfort.
Their exposure this time was most likely due to the team's name. The Machine Race is more united than humans, and they communicate frequently with each other. They would have had the opportunity to know that there was a Green Feather Squad in the Shattered Star Belt. If they were given specific characteristics, they would be easily discovered.
However, Azure Feather Marquis and his group did not expect that the other side was so determined, fighting their way from the Eighth Battlefield to the Seventh Battlefield to seek revenge.
About half a day later, they finally arrived at the nearest shuttle point.
Upon arriving here, Azure Feather Marquis breathed a sigh of relief.
" Han Li, we owe you a lot. If it weren't for you, our Green Feather Squad would probably have been wiped out."
Azure Feather Marquis knew how dangerous this situation was for them.
A High-level Marquis and four Early Marquis suddenly attacked, and they were all caught off guard. If Han Li hadn't discovered them, they would probably be the only ones in the group who had a chance of surviving.
It's just a chance, and there's no guarantee he'll survive. Although he possesses Undying Body, after they escaped last time, the Machine Race's enemies will surely come prepared this time. Given the Machine Race's methods, they might have a chance to kill him.
"You're welcome. We're brothers in the same squad."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
However, his expression quickly changed slightly.
"That Light Sword Marquis is furious. He wants to annihilate all the human squads around him and then leave the Seventh Battlefield. I've already sent danger warnings to the nearest squads..."
"These Machine Race trash!!"
Azure Feather Marquis was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. He had taken the initiative to back down, but he hadn't expected to be slaughtered by this group of guys. A combination of one High-level Marquis and four Early Marquis was almost impossible for any Human Race team to resist in the Shattered Star Belt. Even if Human Race experts came to support them, it would take them some time.
" Green Feather, do you dare to touch it?"
Lu Qingshan suddenly asked.
"You..."
Azure Feather Marquis was greatly surprised.
"Let the Mang Han return to the Barracks Base first. The two of us will go support the others, at least hold them off a few until the Human Race experts arrive, then we can wipe them out."
Lu Qingshan spoke slowly.
"I'm fine, but you... Han Li, is your safety more important? Revenge is something you can do anytime!"
After guessing Han Li's identity, Azure Feather Marquis knew how important it was for Han Li's safety.
"I'm fine... Marquis Immortal can't kill me. I possess the strength of Marquis Immortal, only I'm not Undying Body. Besides, I also have a Star-Eating Grass at the Peak Marquis. Add you to that, and we have the combat power of three Marquis!"
Lu Qingshan said slowly.
Azure Feather Marquis looked at Lu Qingshan in disbelief. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, a flame rose in his eyes. "Let's do it! I've already sent out a distress call. As long as we hold them off until the Human Race experts arrive, they're doomed."
After learning of Lu Qingshan's trump card, Azure Feather Marquis quickly made a decision: he would not be able to live with himself if those Human Race teams were slaughtered because of him.
Besides, these people were his mortal enemies!
He quickly released the Mang Han.
" Mang Han, you guys go back to the Barracks Base first."
"Boss, you and Han Li..."
"We have other matters to attend to. Don't dawdle. Follow orders. Go back and rest. You are not allowed to leave the base until you receive news from me."
Azure Feather Marquis spoke cautiously.
Then he handed the spaceship over to the five men, Mang Han.
The Mang Han men looked at Azure Feather Marquis and Han Li with flickering eyes, as if they had guessed something, but Azure Feather Marquis's resolute appearance made them dare not speak.
"Take care, boss!"
"Boss, Han Li, we're waiting for you to come back."
"Walk!"
Watching the Mang Han men leave from the shuttle point, Lu Qingshan released the metal spaceship ' Void Boat '.
The Void Boat's level has already exceeded the F9 limit, but it hasn't reached the higher G level.
However, in the Shattered Star Belt, such spaceships have no need to follow any rules and can rampage recklessly. The Void Boat looks like an ordinary spaceship, and it doesn't dodge the star fragments at all, smashing them to pieces directly.
This caused Azure Feather Marquis on the spaceship to gasp in shock.
He also possessed an F-class spaceship, but compared to Lu Qingshan's spaceship, the difference was enormous.
"Boss, target locked, expected to arrive in half an hour."
Xiao Jin's body appeared.
" Metal Lifeform."
Azure Feather Marquis was greatly surprised.
Lu Qingshan said, "This is the F9 spaceship, which is fused with Metal Lifeform. In terms of combat power, it can be compared to a Marquis."
Azure Feather Marquis was at a loss for words. The core genius he had guessed actually possessed the combat power of three Marquis. It seemed that Han Li was just an alias.
"With this spaceship, our chances of success have increased."
Azure Feather Marquis took a deep breath.
Four against five.
As long as we can hold off these beasts until the human experts arrive, we can kill them.
Not only can he resolve his own crisis, but he can also avenge his former teammates!
Thinking of the tragic deaths of his teammates who had been with him for thousands of years on the Heavenly Thunder Archipelago, Azure Feather Marquis's blue wings trembled involuntarily.
The Void Boat rapidly approached, 50 million kilometers, 40 million kilometers, 30 million kilometers...
As they approached their destination, a gray suit of armor appeared on Lu Qingshan's body.
At the same time, his aura completely changed; the aura of World Lord on his body completely disappeared, and he looked no different from Immortal God.
Azure Feather Marquis was surprised to see Lu Qingshan's change, but he quickly understood that Han Li probably wanted to disguise himself as an Immortal God to fight. After all, it was too exaggerated for World Lord to have the combat power of Marquis Immortal, which would probably attract the encirclement and killing by the Demon Race and the Zerg.
However, Han Li's disguise was too terrifying. If he hadn't witnessed the changes in the other party with his own eyes, he would definitely have thought that he was standing next to an Immortal God.
Ten million kilometers away.
A spaceship was fleeing at high speed, with a silver-glowing F-class Machine Race ship rapidly pursuing it. Although both were traveling at near-light speed, the Machine Race ship was more agile and could easily smash smaller stars, making evasion much easier. As a result, the two ships were closing in on each other.
On the Machine Race's spaceship, a handsome man covered in metal stared indifferently at the ship ahead.
Behind him, he carried a huge Light Sword.
"Damn human Azure Feather Marquis, how did he discover us and even shield himself from my detection?"
Light Sword Marquis was somewhat puzzled.
He learned of the news by chance and prepared to come to the Seventh Battlefield. He thought there would be no surprises this time, but before he could even get close, the other party disappeared from his detector.
Keep in mind that his detector is worth tens of Yulan Unit.
Unable to eliminate the Green Feather Squad, and unable to vent his anger, he turned his attention to these human squads.
This is already the fifth squad being hunted down.
Anyway, he'll leave after this job, and he won't be targeted by humans in the Seventh Battlefield.
A cold smile flashed across the mechanical eyes of the Light Sword Marquis.
"My dear brother, don't worry. He may have escaped this time, but I will still avenge you. Who told you to have such a doting father? Even if not for you, because of your father's favor, I would still kill the human Azure Feather Marquis!"
"Damn it, where did this Immortal Marquis Squad come from? They've wiped out several Human Race squads in a row. If it weren't for the mysterious ' Gray Robe ' warning us, we'd probably be finished too."
On the E9 spaceship, a human Immortal God, leading a squad of seven World Lord, nervously looked behind him.
"Boss, something's wrong! What's that?!"
Suddenly, a human World Lord saw the spaceship behind him flashing a blue light.
The Immortal God was horrified. "Oh no! It's Star Annihilator Cannon! Get out of the way! Get out of the way right now!"
The F-class Machine Race ship carries three Star Annihilator Cannon.
Three blue lights appeared.
Suddenly, a massive burst of energy erupted.
"Get out of the way!!"
The Immortal God roared loudly, and the spaceship's intelligent system was calculating the best possible evasive maneuver.
They narrowly dodged two Star Annihilator Cannon, but the last one still hit their ship.
With just one shot, the E-class spaceship was completely destroyed. Fortunately, the human Immortal God's spaceship had a rest room made of F-class ore, which barely withstood the impact. He quickly put all the team members into his World Ring.
When he reappeared, the color of his head had changed.
" Thunderlight Prison!"
The Immortal God looked at the purple Thunderlight in the sky, a look of despair in his eyes.
He finally understood why none of the other squads had survived: the Machine Race's Marquis had actually purchased the Thunderlight Prison, a terrifying Machine Race weapon.
The Thunderlight Prison is a powerful weapon with a strong ability to trap enemies. The Thunderlight it emits is like a series of strong chains that trap enemies within it. Even those who have reached the Marquis Immortal have a hard time escaping from it.
He was merely an Immortal Army Lord.
" Machine Race scum, you've been slaughtering indiscriminately in the Shattered Star Belt. We, the human warriors, will arrive soon. Even after I die, you won't get away unscathed."
"Heh... If we kill you, we'll leave the Seventh Battlefield. How can you human powerhouses kill me? Besides, do you even know who we are?"
A cold, stern voice echoed from outside the Thunderlight Prison.
Then a sword light slashed down fiercely.
The Immortal God hurriedly dodged, but within the Thunderlight Prison, his space to move was extremely limited, and the space was constantly being compressed. Although the sword did not hit him head-on, it still severed one of his arms.
"Not bad, you managed to dodge one of my swords. I wonder how many times you can dodge it?"
Another sword light slashed down.
The Immortal God's newly restored divine body shattered once more; his face was pale, and his divine body suffered severe damage...
The Immortal Army Lord is not Undying Body; his divine body has been shattered several times, causing him severe damage.
The Thunderlight Prison continued to shrink, and despair filled his face...
"I, the Immortal God Kabuer, was ambushed and killed by the Machine Race 'Marquis Immortal Squad at coordinates XX in the Shattered Star Belt. My opponents possess the Thunderlight Prison and wield a sword. Please avenge me!"
However, just after Kabuer finished writing his last words, with a loud boom, the Thunderlight Prison suddenly suffered a severe blow, and a huge gap appeared above it.
" Kabuer, get out of here!"
The Azure Feather Marquis with azure wings stood atop, with an Immortal God clad in gray armor beside him.
" Azure Feather Marquis... this one..."
Kabuer was overjoyed. He had thought he was going to die and had even sent his last words, but unexpectedly, reinforcements arrived so quickly. Without hesitation, he crawled out through the opening above.
They soon arrived outside the Thunderlight Prison.
The Thunderlight Prison is heavily fortified internally, making it difficult for even those at the Marquis level or Marquis Immortal to break through. However, from the outside, even the mere Azure Feather Marquis, who is only at the Early Marquis, easily opened a breach.
However, that was all. The Thunderlight Prison quickly recovered and began to spread outwards, encircling Azure Feather Marquis and Lu Qingshan.
After seeing Azure Feather Marquis, the Machine Race Light Sword Marquis lost interest in that human Immortal God.
" Azure Feather Marquis, you killed my beloved brother, yet you dare to show your face again. I'm very curious, how did you manage to evade my detection?"
"Dead people don't need to know that much."
"That's what Azure Feather Marquis said coldly."
"I had originally planned to kill a few human squads and leave, but then you showed up. So, killing you is all I need to do."
Light Sword Marquis snorted coldly.
His four Marquis Immortal subordinates immediately dispersed and surrounded the two of them.
The four Marquis each took out a Machine Race weapon, and the Thunderlight Prison suddenly erupted, expanding more than a hundredfold in an instant, enveloping both Azure Feather Marquis and Lu Qingshan within it.
" The Four Directions Thunder Prison, an upgraded version of the Thunderlight Prison. I let you escape last time, but this time I'm going to go to great lengths to kill you."
The Light Sword Marquis snorted coldly, and his massive metal body appeared before the two of them. He glanced at Lu Qingshan.
"It's one thing to throw your own life away, but to take a little one with you too."
Lu Qingshan, who is less than two meters tall, is indeed a small guy in front of this nearly ten-meter-tall metal body.
"What to do?"
Azure Feather Marquis's expression was solemn. If Lu Qingshan hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been confident in facing the Four Directions Thunder Prison.
"I'll kill the Marquis Immortal on the left first. You can hold off the Light Sword Marquis for a moment."
"No problem."
Their exchange lasted only a moment.
In an instant, Lu Qingshan appeared on the left side of the Four Directions Thunder Prison, where an Immortal God of the Early Marquis was stationed.
With his defenses greatly enhanced as he held the reins of the Four Directions Thunder Prison, he was completely unfazed by Lu Qingshan.
He was already Marquis and possessed Undying Body, so he didn't believe that this Human Race in gray armor could harm him.
Lu Qingshan didn't waste any time and directly used the Qingshan Saber Technique, the second move Thousand Stars Overlapping Waves!
"Boom!!"
A single strike landed on the body of the Machine Race's Marquis Immortal.
"Your attacks are too weak to hurt me at all!"
The Immortal of the Machine Race laughed heartily.
However, his smile quickly vanished, for after that one move, a relentless barrage of attacks came again, layer upon layer, stacking up to ten times in total. Even with his Marquis Immortal, his divine body was shattered, but for someone with Undying Body him, it was nothing.
However, an unexpected discovery was made again.
Right after he condensed his Immortal Divine Body, a giant 300-Vine Star-Eating Grass appeared. The enormous vines of the Star-Eating Grass stirred the void and forcibly wrapped up a large chunk of his divine body, swallowing it into his body.
This caused the Marquis Immortal had once again condensed his divine body, to change his expression drastically.
" Peak Marquis!"
He roared loudly.
However, the Star-Eating Grass soon wrapped him up in countless vines. The Star-Eating Grass at the Peak Marquis, with its countless vines forming a prison, was no less powerful than the Four Directions Thunder Prison.
"Help me!"
The Machine Race's Marquis Immortal cried out in terror for help, for the Star-Eating Grass at the Peak Marquis was enough to gradually erode his entire divine body.
" Light Sword Marquis, where are you going? Your opponent is me!"
The Light Sword Marquis's expression changed drastically, and he prepared to rescue his subordinates, but was stopped by the Azure Feather Marquis.
"Get out of here!"
A flash of sword light swept across.
Azure Feather Marquis also launched a counterattack, and the two collided fiercely. Although Light Sword Marquis was High-level Marquis, it was impossible for him to kill Azure Feather Marquis on his own. Moreover, the Four Directions Thunder Prison had been damaged in one corner and could no longer cooperate with him to suppress the opponent.
" Light Sword Marquis, your opponent is me!"
"Asshole!"
Seeing Light Sword Marquis's exasperated state, Azure Feather Marquis felt extremely satisfied. The more miserable he was chased back in Heavenly Thunder Archipelago, the more satisfying it was now.
On Lu Qingshan's side.
After being trapped Marquis Immortal the Star-Eating Grass, it signifies that his death is imminent.
A thousand times the World Lord Power, 16 times the Body Amplitude, the Banyan Wood Divine Blade!
This time, Lu Qingshan no longer concealed his strength and charged into the Star-Eating Grass vines. Although the Star-Eating Grass could gradually wear down his opponent, that would be too slow, and Lu Qingshan did not want to do that.
"Go and save the Guizi!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Light Sword Marquis hurriedly ordered his other men to rescue his subordinates.
But it was too late.
" The Star River First Appears!"
An extremely fast blade of light slashed fiercely into the back of Marquis Immortal.
They cleaved him in two.
"How is this possible? My divine body was 8% destroyed in a single move!"
The Machine Race named Guizi's Marquis changed drastically, but before he could condense his divine body, the Star-Eating Grass devoured a portion of his divine body.
His newly formed Undying Body was now firmly bound by the Star-Eating Grass.
" Thousand Stars Overlapping Waves!"
"Puff puff puff puff!!"
With the basic strength of Initial King, combined with top-tier swordsmanship, this move completely shattered the Marquis Immortal, making it impossible for him to reassemble.
This Machine Race named Guizi Marquis Immortal, becoming the first Marquis powerhouse to fall at Lu Qingshan's hands.
Just then... the reinforcements from the Guizi had just stormed in, and upon seeing the Guizi's shattered divine body, they were all shocked.
However, the countless vines of the Star-Eating Grass merged together, blocking them from the outside.
" Guizi is dead! Guizi is dead!!"
The voices of several people reached the ears of the Light Sword Marquis...
After killing the Marquis Immortal God, Lu Qingshan did not continue. Instead, he took out a compass.
" The Time Compass..."
The True Treasure that Lu Qingshan returned from Chaos City —he had been struggling with how to accelerate the accumulation of erosion power—now seemed to have found a way.
Where the Marquis Immortal Guizi of the Machine Race disappeared, wisps of scattered special energy were absorbed by the Time Compass and transformed into a pale white, gentle power of time.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
