"Brilliant!"
Watching Han Lang and Tang Geng strike down seven A-class ability users, Tang Qin and the others couldn't help but cheer for their默契配合 (mòqì pèihé - tacit understanding and cooperation)!
"As expected of Young Master! The Shen Nong Imperial Needle Technique is truly terrifying!" Ma Long was genuinely delighted.
Han Kang chimed in, "Indeed! Medical cultivators are still medical cultivators, after all. They're so different from other cultivators! So powerful!"
Tang Haoran was all smiles, "This also perfectly illustrates that until the very last moment, we should never doubt our teammates or our brothers! As long as we are united, even in desperate situations, we can always find a way to survive! Haha..."
Only Tang Qin rolled her eyes at them, speaking up for Tang Geng, "Hey, hey, are you guys being too one-sided? This success wouldn't have been possible without Tang Geng's 'Piercing Cloud Sword' playing a crucial role, would it? Why aren't you praising Tang Geng?"
Tang Geng heard this and chuckled heartily, "It's fine! Having such a beautiful cousin's approval is ten thousand times better than the approval of you three roughnecks!"
"Haha..."
While everyone here was excited about their successful strike, Sasou and the D-class ability users on the other side wore grim expressions.
Han Lang's offensive techniques were so sharp, and Tang Geng's coordination was so seamless, it truly left them dumbfounded.
"This fellow's techniques are formidable. It's likely not difficult for him to fight above his level with this. Even I might not be his match in a one-on-one fight. Therefore, Sasou, you go and keep that sword-wielding kid busy with Pete and the other four A-class users. I'll deal with this one here with two fully recovered D-class users. We must finish this quickly!" the S-class ability user said, his brow furrowed with worry.
Sasou nodded in agreement after hearing his plan.
Although Han Lang had displayed powerful techniques, an S-class ability user who wasn't mutated was still comparable to a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment who didn't use techniques.
With him leading two fully recovered D-class ability users to deal with Han Lang, it should be more than enough to secure a swift victory, right?
As for Tang Geng,
Although he had sustained some injuries, with the assistance of Pete and the other four A-class ability users, keeping Tang Geng occupied for a while should not be a problem!
With that thought, Sasou leaped forward, throwing a punch at Tang Geng and signaling the other D-class ability user to switch positions.
Seeing this, Tang Geng knew the intentions of these ability users. He looked at Han Lang with concern and reminded him,
"Brother Han Lang, hold on for half an hour! Within half an hour, I will definitely finish my fight and come to help you!"
Unexpectedly, Han Lang replied without any hesitation, "Are you kidding me? If I wait half an hour for you, the situation will be long gone. Even if we win, that so-called Dr. Sim will have already escaped! In my opinion, you should wait for me for ten minutes! Ten minutes, and I'll finish my fight and come help you!"
Tang Geng was stunned, "Big Brother! You can't be joking, can you? That's an S-class ability user and two D-class ability users. You can finish them in ten minutes?"
Han Lang frowned, "What? Are you doubting your teammate again?"
Tang Geng was speechless and could only say, "Alright! I'll wait for your support!"
Although both of them were being suppressed and were a bit flustered, the exchange of words during their brief pauses in combat infuriated the S-class ability user.
"You dare to be so arrogant when death is upon you? I'd like to see how you plan to finish the fight in ten minutes under our seamless offensive!"
Han Lang chuckled at this but said nothing.
In his heart, facing enemies, rather than spewing useless taunts, it was better to use his strength to silence them.
He performed a backflip, creating a slight distance between himself and the three ability users. Seizing a fleeting moment in their attack, he instantly mobilized the spiritual energy around him to his palm and pushed it forward horizontally.
"Bang!"
The massive spiritual energy impact forced the two D-class ability users back several steps, and even the S-class ability user's momentum faltered.
When he hesitated for a moment before attacking Han Lang again, he saw three golden needles beginning to orbit Han Lang's shoulders in a triangular formation.
Seeing the S-class ability user charging towards him, Han Lang's lips curved slightly. While swallowing a Spirit Gathering Pill, he pointed a finger at the S-class ability user from mid-air.
One of the golden needles instantly whistled out, piercing towards the S-class ability user's fist.
With a deafening "Boom!"
Both Han Lang and the S-class ability user were forced back several steps by the intense blast wave.
"As expected of an S-class ability user! Such power is truly rare!" Han Lang exclaimed inwardly, slightly surprised.
The S-class ability user, hearing this, stared intently at Han Lang with a condescending gaze, a subtle smirk appearing on his lips.
Indeed,
Before Han Lang could stabilize himself, the other two D-class ability users suddenly appeared on his left and right sides, raising their fists and smashing directly towards Han Lang's head.
At such close range, with the strength of D-class ability users and such cunning angles.
Let alone Han Lang, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, even if he had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it would have been difficult to evade this strike.
Just as the S-class ability user and the two D-class ability users believed this strike was about to succeed, the two golden needles that had been following Han Lang on his left and right sides moved in unison.
With a "swish."
Like two sentient cultivators, one on the left and one on the right, they met the iron fists of the D-class ability users.
"Boom, boom!"
With two explosive sounds, the two D-class ability users were instantly repelled, and Han Lang's precarious situation was immediately resolved.
"Damn it!"
The S-class ability user was furious and filled with regret.
This attack was meticulously planned by him and the two D-class ability users, but he never expected Han Lang to neutralize it so easily.
How could he accept this?
However, with the situation as it was, no matter how regretful he felt, he could only take advantage of the fact that Han Lang had not fully neutralized the attacks of the two D-class ability users and catch him off guard again.
Just as he was about to push off with his feet and charge forward.
A golden needle flew towards him, growing larger in his pupils.
The S-class ability user was greatly alarmed!
He truly hadn't expected this. Han Lang, who was struggling to deal with the two D-class ability users, had already prepared an offensive against him before his own attack was even ready.
With no other option, he had to duck to evade.
However, this golden needle was like a persistent leech. After failing to hit, it immediately changed direction and shot towards him again.
The S-class ability user had never encountered anything like this!
He had heard of a "returning horse spear," but he had never heard of a "returning horse needle" being controlled in mid-air!
With no choice, he pushed off with his left foot, spinning several times in the air before narrowly dodging the incoming golden needle.
However, this time he learned his lesson.
Before the golden needle could turn back, he had already adopted a defensive stance.
"Even if it means a head-on clash, I absolutely cannot let you maintain the initiative in this fight!"
The S-class ability user thought this, his fist accumulating power.
However,
To his further dismay,
The golden needle did not turn back!
Instead, it retraced its path and sped directly towards the D-class ability user on the other side.
The most critical point was that the ability user seemed to be struggling to deal with another golden needle at that moment, completely unaware of the golden needle speeding towards him from the S-class ability user's side!
"No! Be careful!"
The S-class ability user shouted!
The D-class ability user also heard his warning.
However, in his panic, even though he did his best to avoid vital points, he couldn't stop the two golden needles from piercing his body.
With two "shing" sounds, the moment the golden needles entered his body, the D-class ability user's hands instantly stiffened.
Other than moving slowly like a robot, he was completely unable to move like a normal person, let alone circulate his energy to launch an offensive.
The golden needles sealed his meridians!
This was Han Lang's original intention!
