Ma Long was even more bewildered. He looked at Han Lang and said softly.
"Young Master, do you think this is Gou Tuizhi's delaying tactic? He's doing this deliberately to trick us?"
Han Lang shook his head.
"I don't know! Logically, with his strength, there shouldn't be any possibility of improvement, but looking at him now, he doesn't seem to be bluffing! We should still be careful!"
Han Lang's words made everyone vigilant.
Just then, Gou Tuizhi said no more, raised a palm, and attacked everyone directly.
Han Lang did not hesitate, raised a palm in return, and pressed it fiercely against Gou Tuizhi.
With a loud "boom."
An extremely powerful energy erupted from their palms.
Han Lang did not hide his strength in this move.
However, even with his late Foundation Establishment cultivation, after exchanging this palm strike with Gou Tuizhi, his entire body was sent flying backward with a "swish."
Gou Tuizhi's body, on the other hand, only retreated two or three meters.
Seeing this, everyone was astonished.
Dan Nan even flew up, grabbed the flying Han Lang, helped him stabilize his figure, and looked at Gou Tuizhi vigilantly.
"There's something wrong with this esper. Everyone be careful!"
In fact, everyone had already noticed the problem without Dan Nan's reminder.
Han Lang was now at the late Golden Core stage!
Logically, even if he were to face an SSS-class esper alone, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
But now, the situation was very clear.
In this move, Han Lang had already lost.
And it wasn't due to underestimating the enemy!
This made everyone even more perplexed.
"Could it be that after these few months, espers have found a way to upgrade again?"
Han Lang stabilized his figure and shook his head.
"I'm not sure. But based on this move, I can be sure that Gou Tuizhi's strength has at least reached X-class. It might even be stronger than X-class!"
The crowd could hardly believe it.
Stronger than X-class.
This had never appeared in the history of all espers they had encountered!
At the same time, Gou Tuizhi on the other side also showed a surprised expression.
He looked at Han Lang resentfully and questioned.
"Your strength has also broken through so much?"
Han Lang was too lazy to pay attention to him at this moment. He just walked to Dan Nan's side and asked softly.
"Deputy Officer Shan, what do we do now?"
Before Dan Nan could answer, Gou Tuizhi, as if insulted, immediately shouted.
"Damn Han Lang, how dare you ignore me! Today, I will make sure you have no burial place!"
After speaking, he adjusted his state slightly and threw another punch directly at Han Lang.
Han Lang was shocked!
With the previous experience, he did not dare to resist head-on.
He was preparing to dodge.
At this moment, Dan Nan suddenly rushed out, and with a similar punch, he met Gou Tuizhi head-on again.
With a "boom."
An even more powerful energy burst exploded.
Both Gou Tuizhi and Dan Nan were forced back nearly ten meters.
It seemed like a draw.
"Damn it! This kid has a problem, his strength must have exceeded X-class!"
Dan Nan was stunned, exclaiming in surprise.
The others were even more incredulous.
They knew Dan Nan's current strength.
Since Han Lang taught him the Tian Yan Fa, Dan Nan had already perfected his martial arts through it!
Under such circumstances, an ordinary X-class would definitely not be his opponent!
At least, he was confident that his full-power strike now could not be withstood by the sensory X-class esper, Allen!
Yet Gou Tuizhi not only withstood it but also fought him to a draw.
This was truly unbelievable to everyone!
"Damn, even Deputy Officer Shan can't suppress him. What has this kid Gou Tuizhi been doing these past few months!"
"No matter what he did, we have to be fully prepared now! His strength is probably enough to crush any one of us!"
"Everyone must be extra careful!"
Just as everyone was preparing to defend, Gou Tuizhi on the other side seemed completely immersed in the thrill of fighting evenly with a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He looked at his hands and couldn't help but laugh maniacally.
"Hahaha... It seems that after this period of cultivation, my strength is also about to reach the new XS-class. It's truly exhilarating, truly exhilarating! Haha..."
XS?
Is this the latest breakthrough level for espers?
While thinking this, everyone vigilantly stared at Gou Tuizhi, who was laughing crazily.
Dan Nan even arranged softly.
"Han Lang, Xiao Xiao, you two will suppress Gou Tuizhi with me. The others will clear out the SSS-class espers behind him as quickly as possible. We don't know the actual strength of this so-called XS-class esper, so you need to come and support us as soon as possible! Remember, no need to hide your strength anymore!"
Hearing Dan Nan's serious tone, everyone immediately became tense.
After acknowledging, they all scattered and, with their own strategies, planned to charge towards the SSS-class espers behind Gou Tuizhi.
This action immediately displeased Gou Tuizhi.
His eyes flickered, and seeing Tang Geng and a few others preparing to attack from all directions, he became angry.
"You want to attack my subordinates behind me, do you think I don't exist?"
After speaking, his figure moved, and he attacked Tang Geng directly at extreme speed.
Tang Geng had no time to react and could only block with his sword.
However, the force of the punch still sent him flying back dozens of meters.
Seeing this, Dan Nan no longer hesitated and immediately called out to Liu Xiao Xiao and Han Lang.
"Don't hesitate! Let's go!"
With a command, Han Lang and Liu Xiao Xiao instantly charged forward.
Coordinating with Dan Nan, they attacked Gou Tuizhi directly.
Seeing Gou Tuizhi entangled by the three, Tang Geng also quickly adjusted his combat state and rushed towards the SSS-class espers behind Gou Tuizhi again!
After fighting for a while, Tang Geng suddenly shouted.
"Deputy Officer Shan, the strength of these SSS-class espers has not changed! Perhaps only Gou Tuizhi's strength has suddenly increased a lot!"
Dan Nan and Han Lang were even more puzzled.
If the espers had found a way to enhance their strength, there was no reason to upgrade only Gou Tuizhi.
But if Gou Tuizhi's upgrade was accidental, how did he achieve it?
With their minds full of doubts, Dan Nan led Han Lang and Liu Xiao Xiao to continue attacking Gou Tuizhi with all their might.
It seemed they wanted to force Gou Tuizhi to reveal the truth of his strength enhancement through more fierce attacks.
However, Gou Tuizhi was not afraid of the three's attacks, and even seemed to grow stronger as he fought.
While he parried their moves, he sneered at Tang Qin and said.
"I really didn't expect it. In just a few months, not only Han Lang has broken through, but your strength has also reached the Nascent Soul stage! It seems I underestimated you!"
"But even so, today, you will all perish here!"
After speaking, he increased his offensive power even more!
