Dr. Sim was greatly alarmed.
The twelve colossal golden pillars descended with such overwhelming force that, despite his preparedness, he could not possibly resist such pressure at that moment.
What's more, he had just turned back, caught completely off guard, and was powerless to counter.
In his desperation, he let out a roar.
"Golden Luo Illusion!"
A hundred-zhang golden body rose in response, and he immediately threw a punch at the golden pillars.
With a dull thud, "Bang!"
The golden pillars were struck and sent flying backward.
One after another.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Several sounds.
Dr. Sim, transformed into his illusory golden body, was like a towering giant, punching one golden pillar after another, quickly resolving the immediate crisis.
He sneered slightly.
"Is that all? Han Lang. This won't settle the fight completely!"
Han Lang heard this and smiled faintly.
"Heh. Is that so? After such a prolonged battle, how much longer can your Golden Luo Illusion last!"
Seeing Han Lang's sneer, Dr. Sim's expression suddenly changed.
Indeed.
The Golden Luo Illusion consumed too much energy. If it could be sustained for a long time, he would have used this move to finish off Han Lang and the others long ago, instead of waiting until now and giving Han Lang an opportunity to break through.
As he was thinking, Han Lang swiftly piloted the twelve golden needles, which returned to their original form with a "swish," and once again arrayed themselves neatly, charging towards Dr. Sim's golden needles.
Dr. Sim, under the Golden Luo Illusion, was unconcerned.
He had witnessed this before.
Han Lang's golden needles were simply unable to penetrate the body of the Golden Luo Illusion.
Naturally, they posed no threat to him.
He completely ignored the ferocity of the golden needles, controlling the massive illusion to open its palm and grab directly at Han Lang.
Han Lang remained unperturbed, neither dodging nor evading, and smiled faintly.
Dr. Sim found it somewhat strange but couldn't pinpoint why.
Therefore, he did not alter his attack, continuing to reach for Han Lang.
But just as his large palm was closing in on Han Lang, the foremost golden needle suddenly pierced through with a "puchi."
As if encountering no resistance, it stabbed into the illusion's shoulder.
Instantly, the illusion's arm froze like rusty machinery, halting inches from Han Lang, unable to advance further.
Dr. Sim was greatly alarmed.
"Damn it! These golden needles have also achieved such a breakthrough!"
Clearly, he had underestimated Han Lang's progress.
He thought Han Lang could only control three more golden needles, never imagining that the power of these needles had also greatly increased.
While he was stunned, several golden needles whizzed past, sealing various vital acupoints of the illusion.
Once sealed, no matter how focused Dr. Sim was on controlling it, the golden body remained completely immobile.
He became somewhat anxious.
Because, in addition to sealing the illusion with the golden needles, Han Lang had also piloted three golden needles to directly attack Dr. Sim's physical body.
If he continued to focus solely on controlling the golden body to break free, these three golden needles would inevitably pierce his vital acupoints.
At that point, the outcome of the battle would essentially be decided.
Considering this, he dared not delay.
He channeled energy from within his body, instantly dispelling the Golden Luo Illusion, and then his figure flashed rapidly, completely evading the golden needles' attack.
Han Lang had not expected this strike to defeat Dr. Sim outright.
Therefore, he was not greatly disappointed when his attack failed.
Instead, he seized the opportunity while Dr. Sim was still unsteady, piloting the twelve golden needles to aggressively attack Dr. Sim once more.
Dr. Sim was greatly alarmed.
He hurriedly dodged.
While unleashing powerful punches to attack Han Lang's golden needles, he weaved left and right, waiting for an opportunity to slowly approach Han Lang.
Han Lang did not notice Dr. Sim's subtle movements.
He was still immersed in the joy of finally gaining the upper hand, fully focused on using the golden needles to wear down Dr. Sim.
As the distance between them gradually closed.
Dr. Sim suddenly roared again.
"Golden Luo Body Protection!"
Immediately, a radiant golden protective layer formed around him.
The moment Han Lang's golden needles encountered this protective layer, they could not advance any further.
He was greatly shocked.
"Not good! I was too careless!"
Seeing Dr. Sim ignore the threat of the golden needles and attack him directly.
Han Lang no longer hesitated and immediately retreated rapidly.
At that moment, Dr. Sim's sharp claws launched a "Black Tiger Steals Heart" attack directly towards Han Lang's chest.
It was only two inches away!
Dr. Sim's claw was just two inches away from taking Han Lang's life!
Unwilling to give up, he maintained the "Black Tiger Steals Heart" posture as Han Lang retreated, forcing Han Lang to keep falling back.
Han Lang was also extremely tense.
At this moment, if his speed had been even slightly slower, Dr. Sim's claws would have pierced his chest, impaling him through and through.
He dared not be careless any longer.
Although Dr. Sim was an XS-class ability user who had only recently been modified, his combat skills were by no means inferior.
"Not good! Han Lang is in danger!"
Shan Nan exclaimed in worry.
The hearts of the others were also in their throats.
"Let's think of a way to help him! Otherwise, if this continues, Dr. Sim will eventually catch up to him!"
However, both Shan Nan and Liu Xiaoxiao wore looks of deep concern.
In this situation, it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but rather that they didn't know how!
Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't disengage.
If she stopped channeling her spiritual energy to protect Tang Qin's vital meridians, Tang Qin might not last even half a minute.
And Shan Nan was even worse off.
Having been severely injured by Dr. Sim, he was completely incapable of fighting any longer!
Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't!
In desperation, Zhao Wu, from somewhere unknown, produced another cannonball.
Without hesitation, he aimed the warhead directly at Dr. Sim and hurled it.
The sudden cannonball startled Dr. Sim.
He instinctively raised his arm to block.
However, at that moment, the warhead was detonated through his arm.
With a "boom," the explosion sounded.
Dr. Sim did not sustain significant damage, but his body was involuntarily forced to pause for a moment.
It was this brief pause that allowed Han Lang to find an opportunity to resolve the crisis!
He glanced back slightly, saying "Thank you!" to Zhao Wu.
Then, he chanted the incantation again.
The twelve golden needles that had been pursuing Dr. Sim transformed once more into colossal golden pillars, striking at Dr. Sim.
If the small ones don't work, use the big ones to blast through!
This was Han Lang's thought at the moment.
As expected, seeing the massive golden pillars, Dr. Sim, who had been pursuing Han Lang, had missed his chance and was forced to stop and deal with the pillars wholeheartedly!
With a "swish!"
The Golden Luo Illusion was summoned again.
Following the same pattern, Dr. Sim struck them all away.
Han Lang did not hesitate, reverting to his previous tactic, instantly transforming the golden pillars back into golden needles and attacking the illusion.
Dr. Sim was furious.
Damn it, isn't this cheating!
But Han Lang paid no mind, focusing entirely on launching his attacks at Dr. Sim.
There was no alternative; Dr. Sim had to dispel the illusion once more.
But this time, he no longer had the opportunity to grab Han Lang.
"Damn it! Cunning, so damn cunning!"
He cursed in frustration.
However, Shan Nan on the ground could not help but rejoice.
"Good! Excellent! By forcing him to summon and dispel it repeatedly, Dr. Sim's consumption rate will only increase!"
