Chapter 2160

Starlit battlefield, the ground.

Among a temporary squad of over thirty Fifth Stage members, a slender War Star Level individual suddenly seemed to sense something, turning his head northwest while flying at high speed.

Frowning, he looked at the other three teams still refusing to back down, and couldn't help but snap irritably:

"What are you still fighting over!? Didn't you notice another squad coming from another direction? You're all fighting over a few Fourth Stage points, wasting time enough for us to take out another squad!"

"If you want to waste time, go ahead; I'm taking my people up first!"

After his words fell, this Fifth Stage Blackstar clan member pretended to want to act, intending to lead people to catch up with Zhang Tie and the others desperately fleeing.

However, facing his impatience, the earth element among the other three squad leaders snorted coldly and mocked:

"Wu She, what are you pretending? Don't tell me you haven't noticed there's a God Ascendant in this squad. They have at least two elixirs on hand!"

"I'm telling you plainly, the heads aren't important, but I want the lion's share of the elixirs they have! Your little thoughts are as stupid as the snakes on your bodies!"

"You..!"

After being ruthlessly exposed of his true intentions, Wu Yan's face turned extremely grim, but he didn't dare to retort.

Indeed, he also noticed this squad seemed wealthy, with at least two elixirs in hand. Unlike Gao Tian and the others, whose understanding of the elixirs' value was still low, he mistakenly thought they were arguing over distribution.

Actually, all four squads were greedy for the elixirs. They only pursued, not killed, fearing that pressing too hard would waste the elixirs.

"Alright, Rock Overlord, Wu She's also right—we indeed have other squads appearing behind us."

"In my view, we should settle this quickly; you can take one elixir, but leave the heads."

Among the four squad leaders, a War Star Individual covered head to toe in vines spoke in a muffled voice; although he also coveted the elixirs, the earth element squad was the strongest among them, and out of greed, it benefited no one.

"Fine, let's put on a show. We'll speed up and chase after them, you pretend to be arguing with me."

"After tricking that bunch into handing over the elixirs, you then make your move."

Perhaps the appearance of the Thunder Lizard tribe in the rear also put pressure on the Rock Overlord, and the earth element readily agreed, directly stating his planned scheme.

Catch up and scare this bunch of Fourth Stage weaklings; he believes that as long as he claims to give out elixirs, he'll spare these weaklings' lives, and that bunch of Fourth Stage will likely believe them. Of course, that's all they can believe.

All Fifth Stage, decisions made extremely quickly; the remaining three squad leaders no longer objected, though unwilling, they also didn't intend to delay further.

The next second, everyone stopped suppressing their speed, pursuing Gao Tian and the others at extreme speed.

Whoosh—boom!

With the Fifth Stage's speed burst, within just a few seconds, the Fifth Stage formed by the four squads roared to catch up to less than three kilometers behind Gao Tian.

Such a distance, for a Fifth Stage, is merely the blink of an eye!

"Hey! You fleeing brats, I know you have exchange-elixirs in hand! I, Rock Overlord Feng Shi, promise you: if you give me the elixirs, I guarantee you'll survive!"

"My patience is limited—I'll give you tens of seconds, if…!"

"Rock Overlord! What qualifications do you have to release us on our behalf? I tell you, if you dare let them escape, our Blacksnake clan will never let this go!"

Playing along, half-serious, half-fake.

Under the Rock Overlord's arrangement, Wu She instantly flew into a rage, as if about to go to war, directly taking people and splitting from the main force.

At the same time, Gao Tian, whose nerves were stretched to the limit, also slightly changed expression, hearing the quarrel in the rear.

Hand over the elixirs and we let them go?

Before Gao Tian could say anything, the undulating rules pressed down like a threat, locking onto all of them; a most common energy-convergence rule instantly struck Luo En's legs.

Hearing only a pained groan, Luo En, whose rule defense was originally extremely poor, instantly fell out of control like a bird without wings.

"Luo En!"

In an instant, both Zhang Tie and Jiang Haochen, flying at the front, felt their hearts jolt, realizing these Fifth Stage individuals had no intention of dragging things out.

"Wen Ya! Save them!"

"Gao Tian!? What do we do!? They seem unable to wait!? Why not just give them the elixirs!? If not, I'll cover the rear, you run!"

Almost every second they faced death's threat; realizing they could no longer escape, Xiong Hanzi actually felt a sense of relief, staring fixedly at the pursuers behind.

He no longer wanted to worry about anything; his chest felt like it was holding a breath, just wanting to rush in and blast a few Fifth Stage to death! Maybe, maybe if they got scared, they could buy a few more seconds for Mo Ling to arrive!

As for the words from those Fifth Stage mouths, even if he were dumber, he'd know they were lying to them!

Before Zhang Tie could even think of turning back to fight desperately, Gao Tian urgently warned, his mental power instantly linking with Jiang Haochen:

"Jiang Haochen!"

"We'll give you the elixirs! After you use one bottle, split off and flee with us!"

"While fleeing, exposing that you still have many elixirs in hand will surely make them greedy, splitting up to chase you! As long as we hold out, we still have hope!"

Not having time to explain too much to Jiang Haochen, Gao Tian believed Jiang Haochen would surely understand his meaning!

Among them all, Jiang Haochen is the hardest to kill; therefore, as long as Jiang Haochen is willing to take the risk, they aren't without hope to buy a little more time! Once Mo Ling arrives, even if he first saves them, Jiang Haochen can hold out until Mo Ling turns back to rescue him!

His reaction wasn't slow; hearing Gao Tian's plan, Jiang Haochen's heart jolted, and he instantly understood Gao Tian's meaning!

After a brief hesitation, he gritted his teeth and simply agreed! Although he feared death, he also knew this was the last resort!

"Gao Tian! If we're going to gamble, let's go big!"

Give me all the potions! I'll take them out while I run! By then, they might all come chase me! After all, in their eyes, you're not even worth a single potion!

Meanwhile, the underground space.

A clear, crisp sound, like glass shattering under too much weight, suddenly rang out amid the continuous sword whistles.
