Chapter 2089

Boom—

Under a pressure of ten thousand tons, Zhang Tie at the forefront instantly turned into a flayed blood bear, his entire muscle tissue tearing away from his bones under the pull of gravity.

The bear's head was ferocious; the originally bulging skull top began to deform under this immense weight, even the eyeballs were about to be squeezed out of their sockets.

Under such weight, waves of red light surged wildly from his body, attempting to repair his physique.

Compared to bone, Xiong Hanzi's flesh and blood strength was far lower.

Seeing that face crushed flat, half of the white bone exposed, even the two combat stars who were attacking felt uneasy.

But the weak's anger was meaningless; Kui Shan snorted, his right hand manipulating the mountain rule pressed down another fraction;

"Stupid worm..."

"Kneel down, maybe I can let you die a little more easily."

"Boom!!"

The earth shattered, only a crack sounded; after increasing the rule output, Zhang Tie's ankle instantly broke, the lower leg severed at the bare foot instantly like a bone spur, directly pressed into the ground.

Yet facing such pressure, Xiong Hanzi still desperately supported his body, locking his remaining eye firmly on Kui Shan.

"I... fuck... your mom!!"

Like a beast ready to strike a death blow at any moment, Zhang Tie showed no retreat despite such pressure; if the opponent didn't attack him, he would self-mutilate!

He had the urge to beat him to death!

How could he not see that these fifth-stage fighters were also wary of him!

Quite unlike his outward roughness, continually accumulating pain, Zhang Tie roared like a beast, sending a voice transmission to Gao Tian:

"Gao Tian..! Is there a way to instantly kill the one behind?!"

"He's about to attack; once that guy moves, Tai Er and the others won't hold! I'll rely on near-death to charge forward and block the front; can you shoot an arrow to kill the one behind?!"

Both sides mutually wary; perhaps Zhang Tie lacks skill in scheming, but in life-and-death combat he possesses an instinctive battle sense!

With extreme sensitivity to killing intent, Xiong Hanzi instantly realized they might not be able to hold out until Lin An arrives!

"Near-death!?"

Nerves highly tense, maintaining full force lock on rule power, Gao Tian's heart jolted hearing Zhang Tie's plan.

The two often cooperated; he quickly grasped Zhang Tie's meaning in a short time.

Brother Zhang intends to charge over, letting himself sustain a fatal wound to then attack Kui Shan; and if he can kill Lu Shan, who has long-range attack means, with a single arrow, they might still have a chance to win this battle!

He noticed these two fifth-stage fighters seemed to have extremely simple means, just like the hastily trained fifth-stage Lin Dui mentioned!

"Brother Zhang!"

"I'll give it a try! I might be able to kill them both with one arrow!"

Clenching his teeth, Gao Tian drew a deep breath, his mind fixed on the newly grasped Rule Ability.

After realizing he could never become an all-powerful expert like Lin An, he decisively abandoned his original path, pursuing only the most violent damage.

Death Resonance!

This is the ability he developed after forsaking all concealment effects; theoretically it can instantly kill multiple fifth-stage fighters! After he fires a lethal arrow, if the opponent mistakenly thinks the arrow is aimed at themselves, it will trigger the lethal effect just the same!

Even if the "second arrow" cannot achieve a lethal effect, as long as the main body's arrow scores a kill, the other person will also die from mistaken cognition!

Lu Shan is obviously easier to kill than Kui Shan, so Gao Tian has a 50% chance; perhaps after shooting Lu Shan dead with one arrow, Kui Shan will also be killed as a result!

"Good!"

Without the slightest hesitation.

Zhang Tie's eyes flashed with madness as he prepared to charge!

It seemed the two sides had faced off for a long time, but from the start of the battle to now only a few seconds had passed.

However, for high-level fighters, these few seconds are enough for them to conduct extensive probing and combat!

At the same time, Tai Er and others protected in the rear seemed to realize the moment of desperate effort had arrived; several people urgently sent voice transmissions, also planning to fight desperately together.

"Zhang Tie! I'll charge with you! I have Blood War! I can at least help share your pressure!"

"Gao Tian! I'll apply the acceleration rule to you! I noticed they fear my running; I can pretend to flee! I'll give all the boost to you!"

"I have buff magic!"

"I can also charge forward! Even if we're weak, we can at least disturb them!"

Speaking rapidly, hearing everyone's words one after another, planning to fight desperately together, Xiong Hanzi and Gao Tian both felt their hearts jolt, a complex emotion hard to describe surging upward.

Too weak, they really are too weak. This apparent unity, everyone willing to fight desperately, belies the heartache of them having to vie to be sacrificial pawns against two low-ranking combat stars.

At this moment, the two finally fully understood why Lin An, since his return, has been even more unwilling to rest than before.

"Good, let's go up together!"

"Black Panther! Tai Er! You and I charge the front!"

"Pi Kes! Luo En! Tractor! Go help Gao Tian!"

In less than half a second, the tactical distribution was completed.

At the same time, sensing the sudden surge of everyone's fighting spirit, Kui Shan and the two were momentarily startled, then ceased to care about anything.

They've seen this many times, especially when they slaughter these fourth-rank fighters; these wastes always start to unite at the last moment, vainly attempting a desperate effort.

However, it's meaningless; the suppression of rank outweighs everything.

No matter how many worms, they can't bite to death an elephant.

If it weren't for not wanting to get injured, he and Lu Shan's position among the fifth stage would also be that of a support meat shield; at the first strike, they would have already crushed this group of ants.

"Lu Shan, be careful, that kid with the bow looks like he wants to fight you to the death."

"No problem, I'll kill him the moment he moves. As for you, don't let that bear get near me; his rule is strange, I don't want to be hurt by these wastes."

His tone mocking, he watched Zhang Tie and the others suddenly muster courage and rush forward violently.

Lu Shan merely had a silver-gray stone fly lightly from his body surface, instantly encircling him.

The power of rules surged; in an instant, countless earth spikes like towering trees sprang up from nowhere, shooting like missiles toward Gao Tian's side and exploding.

As a Fifth Stage, he didn't really understand how Gao Tian, merely a Fourth Stage, could make him feel threatened.

But it didn't matter; an arrow not yet shot was the most threatening.

If that kid fires that arrow, he can instantly switch his rule from defense to attack, saving himself from being so hesitant; killing a Fourth Stage wouldn't be so troublesome.

Charge!!

The battle erupted instantly.

Seeing Zhang Tie charging at the front, he instantly abandoned all defenses, his whole body seeming to break free from flesh and blood, desperately surging forward.

The accumulating damage was like a bomb; as long as he could get close to the enemy, he was confident he could blast this bunch of scum to pieces!

Right behind Zhang Tie, Tai Er roared, not caring whether they would be crushed to death, they exerted all their strength and moved to lift Zhang Tie!

However, less than a second after following behind Zhang Tie, the pressure in this area pressed them into blood rage.

Relying on the surging strength, they might truly be able to hurl Xiong Hanzi out of this area!

However, the intention was all too obvious, or perhaps too helpless.

Hearing a scoff, Kui Shan's eyes flashed with mockery; in an instant they opened a hundred‑meter distance, and their fingertip's uniformly ash‑gray rule power struck Zhang Tie directly like a beam.

Instantly petrified, as if molten iron filled his body, watching the petrifying rule that fused him with the earth, Zhang Tie's eyes nearly burst, yet he couldn't move a muscle.

Just like Lin An, who had once been trapped in spatial fragments, facing the Fifth Stage's power that could effortlessly imprison and kill oneself, Xiong Hanzi for the first time hated why they were so weak.

Lin Dui was right; the greatest despair wasn't how strong the enemy was, but lacking even the qualification to fight desperately.

Do you really think the Fifth Stage has no other means?

"Dealing with you, I just don't want to waste power."
