Hearing the mockery, everyone drew their swords, looking towards the source of the sound.
Two figures slowly emerged from the depths of the base.
One of them was the D-class ability user Sasu, who had been injured by Tang Geng;
The other, though a new face, exuded an aura of power that spoke volumes about his strength.
"S-class ability user!"
Upon guessing his identity, everyone was shocked.
In the current situation, Ma Long and Tang Haoran were already struggling against one A-class ability user each; Tang Qin and Han Kang were barely holding their ground against two A-class ability users;
Tang Geng, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by four A-class ability users and one fully powered D-class ability user, unable to divide his attention.
Han Lang, relying on the Shen Nong Imperial Needle technique, was single-handedly fighting seven A-class and one D-class ability user. Even with his strength to contend with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, another Sasu would surely be his end, right?
But if that were the case,
What about the S-class ability user?
Would he watch them all get picked off one by one?
Thinking of this, Tang Qin and Tang Geng couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
If only they had been calmer in the car earlier, not so shocked by Han Lang's so-called Shen Nong Imperial Needle technique, and had used a more cautious approach to investigate first, perhaps the six of them wouldn't be in such dire straits now.
But what was the use of their regret now?
Such an operation was inherently a matter of life and death. Before the action, everyone could voice their opinions, but now they were at the forefront of battle!
Even if Tang Qin and Tang Geng were foolish, they knew that no matter how much regret they felt, they couldn't doubt their teammates or blame them in the heat of battle.
Therefore, the two exchanged a look of mutual encouragement.
"It's alright! Han Lang, Han Kang and I can still manage. You and Tang Geng, think of a way to spare two A-class users for us, and see if we can hold off that S-class ability user!"
Tang Geng also nodded in agreement: "Yes! If it really comes down to it, Han Lang, I'll risk my life to hold off that injured foreigner, and you can deal with that S-class ability user, alright?"
Seeing their determined expressions, Han Lang couldn't help but find it amusing.
He knew that at this moment, not just Tang Qin and Tang Geng, but even Han Kang and Ma Long, who were closer to him, might have doubts about his decision to go on the offensive!
However, as long as they didn't turn on each other in mutual recrimination on the battlefield, even in the face of immense crisis, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Moreover, Han Lang seemed to have a plan for the current situation.
He smiled slightly and replied, "Tang Qin, don't brag. With your and Han Kang's cultivation not yet reaching Foundation Establishment, and without martial arts training, you can't handle another A-class ability user! However, I think Tang Geng's plan is quite good. What do you say, Tang Geng, can you still hold on?"
Tang Geng repelled a wave of attacks with all his might and then said to Han Lang, "Damn it! Han Lang, I was just kidding, you took me seriously?"
Han Lang heard Tang Geng's words and knew he was joking. He chuckled and replied.
"Then there's no other way! A gentleman's word is his bond! As the esteemed young master of the Tang family in Star City, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"
As expected, Tang Geng sighed with feigned helplessness: "Alas, accompanying a gentleman to his doom, I suppose that's acceptable! But you'd better be quick, or we'll all be done for!"
As they were speaking, Sasu and the S-class ability user couldn't stand it any longer. They coldly said.
"What is it? Finished discussing? Isn't it time for you to go on your way?"
With that, both of them stamped their feet and charged towards Han Lang.
Seeing this, Han Lang flicked his wrist, throwing out a golden needle that shot directly towards the S-class ability user's temple;
While the S-class ability user dodged, he tossed four or five Spirit Gathering Pills towards Tang Geng, shouting at the same time.
"Hold off that foreigner, and find an opportunity to unleash a big move!"
Tang Geng was also quick-witted. He controlled his flying sword to intercept Sasu instantly, leaped into the air, and caught the Spirit Gathering Pills in his palm. Swallowing one, he shouted back.
"No problem!"
Watching Tang Geng hold his sword finger to his lips and chant, the flying sword in the air instantly turned back and rapidly expanded.
Sasu was greatly alarmed.
He had witnessed this move firsthand when he was at the Gou family base.
So he quickly shouted to the ability users entangled with Tang Geng.
"Dodge! Dodge! He's going to use a martial skill!"
Hearing this, those people dared not linger and immediately scattered to avoid it.
Sasu was overjoyed, thinking, "No matter how powerful your martial skill is, how can it defeat dispersed enemies with a single blow?"
At the same time,
Tang Geng's move was almost complete.
He shouted loudly.
"Cloud Piercer Sword!"
The colossal long sword, imbued with extreme power, immediately shot towards Sasu.
Sasu was prepared and, seeing his chance, made a big leap, easily dodging the attack.
However,
Before he could utter a condescending remark to Tang Geng.
Suddenly,
A "boom" echoed from behind.
Then, a series of screams followed!
Sasu was confused and turned to check.
He saw that among the ability users surrounding Han Lang, two A-class ability users had instantly perished in this spiritual energy explosion, and the B and C-class ability users behind them were also wiped out in large numbers by this move.
"Damn it! You... you are utterly treacherous!" he glared at Tang Geng, cursing.
At this moment, he finally understood Tang Geng's true intention!
No wonder even he, who was injured, could easily dodge this move;
No wonder Tang Geng didn't target any of the other A-class ability users fighting him when he released his martial skill;
It turned out his true intention was not what it seemed!
Compared to Sasu's fury, Tang Geng appeared calm and collected.
He waved his hand, and the flying sword instantly returned. He shrugged and smiled, replying, "Warfare is about deception. Are you complimenting me?"
Before Sasu could curse again, Han Lang on the other side perfectly seized the offensive advantage that Tang Geng had bought him. He retreated slightly, then with a thought, shouted sternly.
"Soul Sealing Needle!"
Instantly,
Three golden needles, like flying golden threads, drew beautiful arcs in the air, speeding towards the temples of the S-class and D-class ability users, as well as the remaining five A-class ability users.
For a moment,
All seven dared not be careless.
Although they didn't know how much damage such a small golden needle could inflict on their bodies.
But at this moment, it was attacking the temple!
Even though ability users were not cultivators, they knew that the temple was the center of consciousness!
Even a touch of spiritual energy could have dire consequences!
Moreover, judging by the expression of the person wielding the golden needles, this move was likely no small matter!
As they were thinking, the S-class and D-class ability users easily dodged Han Lang's attack. However, the five A-class ability users were not so lucky.
The golden needles flew swiftly, piercing their temples with the speed of lightning in their eyes.
Until the last moment of their pupils dilating, they had no idea how they had been hit!
Little did they know,
With Han Lang's strength, which was enough to instantly kill late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, he could even contend with non-mutated SS-class ability users, let alone these minor A-class ability users?
After dealing with these seven A-class ability users, Han Lang and his group felt the pressure significantly lessen.
Han Lang's gaze turned cold as he looked at the S-class and D-class ability users before him, a smile playing on his lips as he said.
"Now, whose turn is it to go on their way?"
