Hearing Han Lang's shock, a hint of surprise appeared in everyone's eyes.
"What? Zhao Wei is an XS-class ability user?"
This news undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to everyone.
If Zhao Wei was an XS-class ability user, it meant that everyone not only had to deal with an X-class ability user individually but also constantly worry about an XS-class ability user who was stronger than an X-class ability user.
This was basically a situation with no chance of victory!
On their side, apart from Song Heguo, Dan Nan, and Han Lang who possessed genuine Nascent Soul stage strength, no one else was absolutely confident in dealing with the enemy in front of them.
And there was no way they could deal with Zhao Wei, an XS-class ability user!
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were filled with terror.
After all, when they fought Dr. Sim, an XS-class ability user, in White Elephant Country, they had encountered immense resistance.
Not to mention now having to simultaneously deal with nearly ten X-class ability users in addition to that.
"What should we do? Commander. We have no chance of winning now!"
Ma Long said directly.
"What else can we do? Find a way to run. Otherwise, all of us will be finished here today!"
"No!"
Song Heguo immediately rejected Ma Long's suggestion.
"We cannot run! If we run, these ability users will completely hide within Xia Country. Moreover, they have already been exposed and will definitely be more anxious to contact the ability users outside the border, which will inevitably trigger a great war. The best strategy is to completely eliminate them here!"
Ma Long, at this point, no longer cared about Song Heguo's status and replied.
"I want to as well, Commander Song. But now, where do we have the strength to keep them all here? It doesn't matter if I die, as it's just a cheap life. But if you and the young master are lost here, our losses will be too great. How about I and Tang Geng go all out to assist your retreat?"
Hearing this, everyone showed a hint of hesitation.
But Zhao Wei let out a cold laugh.
"Jie jie jie, you want to run? Do you think I'm just a decoration? None of you will escape today. I will ensure all of you perish here! Brothers, don't stand there, kill!"
With Zhao Wei's command, everyone once again pounced on Han Lang and the others like wolves.
Just as the two sides were about to clash again, Zhao Wu suddenly flashed and blocked between them, shouting.
"Stop! I'll see who dares to move!"
With Zhao Wu's intervention, Zhao Wei's subordinates dared not advance rashly, and they all looked at Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei, seeing this, was somewhat angered and roared at Zhao Wu.
"Zhao Wu! What are you doing! Have you forgotten how Han Lang slaughtered our tribesmen just now? If this revenge is not taken, we are unworthy of being called sons!"
"I know, of course!"
Zhao Wu, somewhat enraged, also roared at Zhao Wei.
"The revenge of our tribesmen must be taken! But, what I want to know more now is, have you been completely betraying the country from the very beginning? Were the matters of Wang Shan and Jin Chunfeng privately establishing the ability user base all orchestrated by you!"
"Yes!" Zhao Wei replied angrily.
"Don't you know that it's difficult for ordinary cultivation families like ours to break through to the Golden Core stage even with a lifetime of effort? I am not convinced. Why can people in the special task force and the five major sects enjoy the best cultivation resources, while we can only wander on the fringes of cultivators, barely surviving?"
"Ability user technology can allow low-level cultivators like us to instantly gain several times, even tens of times, the strength. It can instantly make us superior beings. Why wouldn't I do it?"
"Open your eyes and see, all these people in front of you were just trash at the Qi Refining stage before. But now? They already possess the strength of the Nascent Soul stage. Ask them, would they choose to cultivate step by step, or choose the shortcut of becoming ability users and leaping forward?"
Zhao Wu was so angered by Zhao Wei that his teeth itched.
He had never imagined that his brother would actually embark on the irreversible path of treason and collusion.
"Zhao Wei! You have disappointed me too much!"
"You forced Han Lang's father to death, creating such a powerful enemy for our family, that's one thing. I can turn against my best comrades to protect you. But how can you collude with the great enemy, ability users, within Xia Country?"
"Do you know how many comrades we sacrificed and how many lives we lost to fight them? You, without any pressure, living in the peaceful land that everyone fought for you, have done such a treacherous thing. Can your conscience be at ease?"
"Enough!" Zhao Wei was also somewhat exasperated.
"Don't forget. Not everyone has your talent, to enjoy the best cultivation resources! We people, who appear to be high and mighty normally, are merely ants in this cultivator world! I am merely seeking a way out for myself. Do you want me to be mediocre my entire life, to become a most ordinary cultivator?"
Zhao Wu was somewhat speechless.
He knew in his heart that Zhao Wei had made up his mind and had no intention of turning back.
With a disheartened heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, waved his hand, and replied.
"I won't argue with you. What I want to ask you now is, are you the XS-class ability user modification base in Xia Country that Dr. Sim mentioned!"
Zhao Wei was also somewhat surprised by this. He retorted.
"You've seen Dr. Sim?"
Before Zhao Wu could answer, Ma Long immediately sneered.
"Hmph! More than seen. All of us almost died by his hand. Including your brother!"
Hearing this, Zhao Wei instantly became furious.
"That damn white-skinned curly-haired devil, he actually betrayed me and attacked my brother! I warned him countless times, and yet he still did it? I trusted him so much!"
As soon as Zhao Wei finished speaking, Zhao Wu said with tears.
"No! He did not betray me. I was already surprised when we were in White Elephant Country. At that time, his move could clearly have taken my life, but why did he only incapacitate me, leaving me severely injured and unable to resist? In contrast, for others, his moves were all lethal. If it weren't for a fortunate coincidence, everyone would have died by his hand long ago. It turns out, it turns out, all of this is because of you!"
Hearing Zhao Wu's words, Zhao Wei instead burst into laughter.
"Is that so? That's great. With this, you should understand that although Dr. Sim is a foreigner, my cooperation with him is sincere. If I hadn't specifically given him instructions, could you have returned alive from the special task force?"
