"You're not mistaken. We seem to be targeted. I think this might be related to Gou Tuizhi. Otherwise, why would he have been trying his best to kill us earlier, but now he's not concerned at all and is fully focused on holding back Huang Pai and the others?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Geng immediately realized the gravity of the situation.
"Then what do we do? If it's just a normal fight, we can still hold on, but if we're being deliberately targeted, once more D-class and S-class individuals gather, won't we just be overwhelmed?"
Ma Long chimed in with a curse, "I knew that Gou Tuizhi kid had no good intentions. So he wants to win the war and kill us a few to vent his anger. Little Sir, we absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
Ma Long's words reminded Han Lang.
He observed the surrounding situation again, along with the terrain, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Brother Ma is right. Since Gou Tuizhi intends to achieve two goals at once, we might as well try to use this to our advantage."
"Use it? How?" Zhao Wu asked doubtfully.
"It's simple! With Huang Pai and the others working together, they can actually suppress Gou Tuizhi. If it weren't for the constant harassment from a group of S-class ability users at Gou Tuizhi's feet, Huang Pai and the others would likely have gained the upper hand in the war long ago."
"While we can't draw Gou Tuizhi's firepower now, if Gou Tuizhi wants our lives, he must dispatch some S-class ability users to finish us. As long as we put in more effort and make them feel the pressure, Gou Tuizhi will naturally send more S-class ability users to deal with us. This way, the pressure on Huang Pai and the others will lessen. We will have indirectly achieved our initial strategic objective!"
Ma Long was thrilled by this explanation.
"I know, this is called 'Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao'!"
Han Lang nodded slightly. "Yes, it's pretty much that."
Tang Geng quickly raised a question.
"But how do we make the other side feel the pressure?"
Han Lang smiled calmly and pointed at the four ability users rushing towards them not far away.
"With overwhelming force, we'll annihilate those S-class ability users in one go. Make them feel they have to dispatch more S-class ability users to attack us. Then, we'll retreat quickly to the small hill over there to defend. As long as we attract the S-class ability users for long enough, I believe Huang Pai and the others will seize the opportunity to turn the tide of the battle!"
Han Lang's words immediately ignited the passion of the others.
Only Tang Qin doubted softly.
"But how are we supposed to defeat them in one fell swoop? Those are four S-class ability users!"
Han Lang quickly explained.
"Use the Spirit Gathering Pills. Don't be stingy. Give it your all in every move. I'm confident I can take down two at once!"
"Give one to me!" Zhao Wu still had a Spirit Gathering Pill given by Han Lang, so he believed his full-power strike, with the opponent unprepared, could complete the mission.
"Then the remaining one is for the three of us!" Tang Geng was also full of determination.
Hearing their words, Han Lang's confidence soared.
"Remember, you must finish your opponents in one move, then retreat quickly. Absolutely no dawdling, don't let them see our true strength."
"That's no problem. The problem is, after we attract them, how do we hold back so many S-class ability users?"
Hearing Zhao Wu ask this question, Ma Long couldn't help but give him a fierce shove.
"I told you to listen carefully, but you insisted on slacking off. That small hill over there, although not high, is backed by a mountain. It's a place that's easy to defend and hard to attack. As long as we utilize the terrain well, holding off twenty to thirty S-class ability users should be no problem!"
Zhao Wu, who was hit, unusually didn't throw a tantrum. He rubbed his head aggrievedly, about to raise the issue of insufficient spiritual energy, but was directly interrupted by Han Lang.
"Alright. Enough of the talk. It's now, seize the opportunity, attack with all your might!"
At his command, the five of them each swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill, then unleashed their most powerful killing moves, heading straight for the four S-class ability users.
The four ability users never expected Han Lang and his group to target them at this moment. They wanted to retreat, but couldn't stop their momentum and could only try their best to withstand the killing moves.
However, they still underestimated the full-power strikes of the group.
With the flash of golden needles like lightning, two S-class ability users instantly died at Han Lang's hands.
Zhao Wu also held nothing back, directly removing the defense of the Vanjin Bell and transforming it into an offensive weapon. With one strike, he smashed another into a pulp.
Tang Geng and the other two struggled a bit more.
However, with the full restraint of Tang Qin and Ma Long, Tang Geng's flying sword still pierced through the skull of one of them with a single blow.
Four S-class ability users were instantly killed!
This left the other ability users stunned.
Such strength, even cultivators in the Golden Core stage would find it difficult to achieve, right?
Amidst their astonishment, they looked at each other.
Not a single one dared to believe that these were the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators the higher-ups wanted to hunt down with all their might.
Gou Tuizhi also seemed to have noticed this scene.
He was shocked beyond belief, unable to comprehend that cultivators he could easily crush could unleash such power.
In his rage, while continuing to deal with Huang Yuhua and the others' attacks, he furiously roared at his subordinate S-class ability user.
"Hurry up! Assign more high-level ability users to me, and make sure you bring me the heads of those warriors!"
The S-class ability user was stunned by fear.
At this moment, he didn't have time to think and gave the order.
"Kill them! Kill them! B-class and C-class go first, A-class hurry up, and D-class and S-class quickly finish your current fights and come to support!"
Upon hearing this command, countless B-class and C-class ability users surged towards Han Lang and his group like a tide.
Han Lang did not hesitate. Following the plan, he quickly retreated to the small hill near the mountain body, swallowed another Spirit Gathering Pill, and prepared for battle.
Of course, taking this opportunity, Han Lang was not stingy. He took out twenty to thirty Spirit Gathering Pills and handed them to Zhao Wu, while generously instructing him.
"Go all out! I have plenty of these things. From now on, this is our time to furiously rack up merits!"
Zhao Wu's eyes were filled with disbelief.
How precious were recovery pills?
When Han Lang gave him two, he already felt indebted to him.
Now, holding this large handful, how could his heart remain calm?
"Damn it! You're trying to corrupt me with sugar-coated bullets! After taking so many pills from you, how can I still put on a stern face with you? Don't forget, to some extent, we are still adversaries!"
Han Lang chuckled.
"But you have to survive to continue being adversaries! If you don't make it back, will there be an opportunity for opposition in the underworld?"
"Damn it!"
Zhao Wu was speechless.
At this moment, apart from responding to Han Lang with this national exclamation, he couldn't think of any other words to refute him.
Swallowing a Spirit Gathering Pill, Zhao Wu no longer hesitated. He raised the Vanjin Bell high, looking at the tide of ability users surging towards them, and said solemnly.
"Come on! You scum!"
