Although Han Lang and the others had the assistance of the Spirit Gathering Pills, as the battle intensified, the pressure naturally began to feel more strenuous.
"Young Master, I feel these A-class ability users should be no problem. But the issue is, behind them are countless D-class ones. With my strength, dealing with so many D-class individuals will be quite difficult!"
Ma Long voiced the concern in Tang Qin's heart.
In comparison, although Tang Geng and Zhao Wu did not feel this way yet, they were also clear in their minds.
Ma Long and Tang Qin, who had only just passed the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, would indeed find it extremely challenging to face so many D-class ability users.
Not to mention that behind the D-class ability users, dozens of S-class ability users were watching menacingly.
Han Lang naturally also realized the seriousness of the problem.
His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with worry, but he could only respond verbally.
"There's nothing we can do about it! Our original purpose was to share the pressure with Huang Pai and the others. Now, we can only pray that before we are annihilated by that group of S-class ability users, we can hear good news from Huang Pai and the others!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Long fell silent.
He understood in his heart that with the battle having progressed to this point, his questions were merely a waste of breath.
If they could attract the enemy's firepower while ensuring their own safety, they would not have had to resort to such a risky strategy from the beginning.
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly heavy, Ma Long suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy around him. Immediately after, the spiritual energy emanated outwards from within, making him feel as if he were bathed in a vortex of spiritual energy.
Not only did the fatigue in his body vanish, but the circulation of spiritual energy and the concentration of spiritual energy within his body also changed.
He was shocked, even staring at Tang Geng beside him with disbelief, stammering.
"Damn it! Am I... breaking through?"
Tang Geng, who had also been fighting with a serious expression, turned his head in confusion upon hearing Ma Long's question.
Soon, as if sensing something, he replied with disbelief.
"Judging by the spiritual energy fluctuations around you, it seems so!"
Hearing this, everyone else also turned their heads in shock. Tang Qin shouted excitedly.
"If you've broken through, won't you know if you try? Throw a punch and see how many A-class ability users you can take down!"
With Tang Qin's encouragement, Ma Long was overjoyed. He immediately condensed his spiritual energy and threw a punch at the A-class ability user in front of him.
With a "boom."
The A-class ability user was instantly sent flying backward, taking two or three ability users behind him with him.
Upon closer inspection, two of the four A-class ability users were instantly killed.
Of the remaining two, one was severely injured and on the verge of death, while the other spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirit instantly wilting.
Ma Long was ecstatic.
"Hahaha... I actually broke through! Now I can take down several ability users with one punch, hahaha..."
Han Lang and the others were also filled with joy.
Ma Long's breakthrough during the battle undoubtedly greatly increased their chances of winning.
Although it might not change the tide of the battle, being able to hold on longer meant a greater chance of hope.
"Brother Ma, the situation is special now, so we won't celebrate with you. If we can make it back alive this time, we'll congratulate you then!"
Ma Long didn't mind.
Although his breakthrough during the battle was unexpected, as a cultivator, breakthroughs were common. Therefore, he didn't take Han Lang's words to heart.
And just as everyone calmed down and continued to focus on dealing with the enemy, a surge of spiritual energy fluctuations also rose around Tang Qin.
With Ma Long's precedent, everyone's gaze instantly focused on Tang Qin.
"Tang Qin, you're not going to tell me you broke through too, are you?"
Tang Qin chuckled, also in high spirits.
"If Ma Long's breakthrough is a fact, then I estimate I'm in the same situation now!"
Saying that, without waiting for anyone's reminder, she unleashed a claw from bottom to top, flipping over an ability user in front of her.
The ability user's body was torn apart by the sharp claws, but the claw wind did not dissipate.
It continued along its original path, sending four or five ability users behind him tumbling and falling.
Seeing this result, Tang Qin barely confirmed the number of enemies killed before replying.
"That's right! Sister is now also a strong cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment! Hehehe..."
Seeing the two of them break through, Han Lang and the others were naturally overjoyed.
Of course, this joy was mixed with a bit of envy.
Tang Geng even showed it directly, which was rare.
"Damn it! If the situation weren't so critical right now, I'd be itching to check myself internally to see if there are any signs of a breakthrough!"
Han Lang quickly replied.
"There's no need to doubt. We've continuously drained the spiritual energy in our bodies and then replenished it with Spirit Gathering Pills. With this repeated process, our meridians will inevitably expand. So Tang Geng, even without checking internally, I believe we are not far from a breakthrough!"
Han Lang's analysis was instantly recognized by everyone.
Combat, from ancient times to the present, has always been the best way to improve strength.
Not to mention that Han Lang and the others had the assistance of divine artifacts like Spirit Gathering Pills.
After experiencing such battles on the battlefield for a long time, it would be difficult for them not to break through!
Just as everyone was filled with longing for the improvement of their strength, the formation of A-class ability users had also been basically depleted by them.
As the D-class ability users stepped up, everyone felt the pressure increase significantly!
Before long, Ma Long's side encountered new problems.
"Dealing with D-class ability users consumes much more than A-class ones. Young Master, if this continues, the Spirit Gathering Pills I have might not be enough!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately checked the remaining number of Spirit Gathering Pills in their hands.
Han Lang even cursed directly.
"Damn it! It's one problem after another. If I had known we would be in such a protracted battle, I should have prepared more!"
Tang Geng and the others chimed in.
"But this is not the time to talk about that. We have to think of some solution!"
Han Lang pondered for a moment.
To no avail.
He could only shout.
"Use them as much as possible for now! Let's hope we can hold on!"
Only Zhao Wu looked confused.
He even involuntarily asked weakly.
"Um... this kind of heaven-defying pill, can you get as many as you want?"
Everyone was surprised.
They thought, is this the time to worry about that?
But since Zhao Wu had already asked, Han Lang had to give him an answer.
So he replied impatiently.
"I'll tell you slowly when we get back alive!"
"Oh!"
Zhao Wu responded weakly. He didn't realize that, unknowingly, he had also begun to obey Han Lang's orders.
As the group continued to fight, the D-class ability users were eventually eliminated by them.
However, at the same time, the Spirit Gathering Pills in everyone's hands were completely reduced to the last one.
Han Lang looked at the Spirit Gathering Pill in his hand, his expression extremely solemn.
"Brothers, there's only one left! After taking this one, we can only leave it to fate! A greater challenge is before us, let's give ourselves a final boost, shall we?"
"Mm!"
Everyone nodded heavily.
Then they all swallowed the last Spirit Gathering Pill and looked resolutely at the dozens of S-class ability users charging towards them, saying in unison.
"Work together!!"
