Chapter 223: The Battle of One Night (Part 5)

"Hahaha~ Great, I'm finally out!" a Nine Platforms Immortal Group player shouted excitedly, but before he could be happy for two seconds, he was hooked back into the chili dust by a vine with a Grappling Hook.

After a few attempts, the others discovered that there was always something outside dragging them into the chili dust, so they simply pushed forward in one direction together while braving the firepower.

This time, the Grappling Hook Tree Demon could no longer stop them; one after another, the Nine Platforms Immortal Group members rushed out of the area covered by the chili dust, attempting to take deep breaths of fresh air.

But the surrounding plants would not give them time to rest! Two Durian Warriors even abandoned their range advantage, drew their Wave Energy Scimitars, and charged toward them.

The Combat Plants placed in the surrounding bushes, on rooftops, and on treetops were even less likely to sit idly by, launching even more violent attacks against them.

There were even quite a few Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters starting to wither, and the Grass Sword of the Psionic Mushroom Grass had been hacked until its edge was rolled!

The Nine Platforms Immortal Group members were in a crisis this time, but fortunately, they were numerous, and having escaped that dust, they could let loose.

Players possessing purification abilities immediately released purification, and the chili dust on everyone's bodies was swept away in an instant.

However, even so, the entire Nine Platforms Immortal Group of about 50 people was left with fewer than fifteen, and everyone's Tricycle had suffered varying degrees of damage.

Just as the plants' attacks were about to arrive, Second Team Leader Jiang Jinhua threw out a shield-shaped item, and a barrier immediately protected the remaining members; even the Durian Warriors could not break the defense for a moment.

Taking advantage of the current protection from the item, Jiang Jinhua immediately asked, "Has anyone seen where the Regiment Leader is? And where are the other team leaders?"

A player skilled in perception concentrated their energy to sense, then replied, "Reporting to the Second Team Leader, our Regiment Leader is currently in an aerial battle with a player, and I can no longer sense the other team leaders!"

Jiang Jinhua: "Jia Yuhua, how is the situation on the Regiment Leader's side? Is there anyone in that Tricycle?"

Jia Yuhua was the player responsible for perception; she was seen with the two fingers of her left hand pressed together against her forehead, and her Magic Power immediately spread to the surroundings, clarifying the situation inside Wang Ce's vehicle and the Tricycle in front.

Jia Yuhua then reported: "The Regiment Leader was at a disadvantage in close combat with his opponent at first, but now he has managed to put some distance between himself and the opponent and is starting to gain the upper hand, though it is unlikely to be decided in a short time.

There is a woman in the Tricycle in front, but she seems to have just been woken up, and she has no weapons or equipment on her."

Jiang Jinhua: "Can the woman in that Tricycle quickly enter the driver's seat?"

Jia Yuhua: "She has already entered the driver's seat from the rear window of the carriage."

After hearing the report, Jiang Jinhua did not rush to give orders, but carefully observed the surrounding environment.

At this moment, they had already entered the ancient town, and there was another player's Tricycle on the street of the ancient town; perhaps there were still people inside that vehicle.

"Team Leader, why don't we rush over and take control of the people in that vehicle!"

"That's right! The opponent's firepower is weakening now; let's rush over and kill the people in the vehicle first, then go support the Regiment Leader!"

"Don't argue! Listen to what the Team Leader has to say first!"

…………………

The others were all clamoring to rush out, and Jia Yuhua was also trying her best to maintain order.

At this moment, the remaining number of the Nine Platforms Immortal Group was less than twenty; rushing to that Tricycle in one go was indeed no problem. But they were already in such a sorry state after only one player had attacked them; what about the one in the vehicle?

What's more, there were things in the surroundings—whether they were puppets or something else—that kept chasing and attacking them. What if that woman was very strong and could kill many of them?

Taking a step back, even if that woman was weak, she was in the Tricycle; if she launched a charge at them from this distance, perhaps that woman would directly enter the driver's seat and drive away. How could they, having gone through a fierce battle, catch up?

Jiang Jinhua finally looked at the direction they had come from and ultimately ordered: "Everyone, in a moment I will open a slit in the barrier, and then we will all break through together."

"Break through? Why?"

"Team Leader, we still have over ten people; let's just kill the woman in the vehicle together!"

"Exactly! Anyway, we can't die on Blue Star, so it doesn't matter if we play recklessly!"

"Team Leader!"

"Team Leader!"

"Team Leader………"

"Enough! Execute the order!" As he spoke, Jiang Jinhua opened a slit in the barrier, a slit wide enough for the people on the scene to pass through quickly.

The others looked at each other, and finally drove their vehicles out of the barrier.

The moment the crack appeared, a Durian Warrior immediately noticed the situation here and roared as he came to the crack, attempting to intercept them.

But the players' Tricycles had enough horsepower; in less than a second, this Durian Warrior was knocked flying.

Seeing the Nine Platforms Immortal Group rush out of the barrier, the Grappling Hook Tree Demon immediately used its characteristic of controlling vines to swing on the eaves, then found an opportunity to overturn their vehicles one by one.

Relying on the hearing of her Bat Wing Ear, Zhao Yuxin could hear the conversation of the Nine Platforms Immortal Group clearly even through the barrier, so at the very moment the barrier opened, she chose... to run!

That's right, just run. Are you kidding? With so many people rushing out, what could she, someone who hadn't even unlocked a Transcendental Profession, use to stop them? It was better to keep a certain distance from them first.

"I just don't know how Ajiu is doing." Zhao Yuxin murmured as she looked at Zhu Zhiquan's direction through the rearview mirror.

At this time, Zhu Zhiquan was covered in wounds, and the Magic Power in his body was gradually bottoming out; soon he would be unable to control the Five-Star Sword to carry him in flight.

Looking at Wang Ce, the wounds left by his previous close combat with Zhu Zhiquan had mostly undergone Yùhé, and since flying after transforming did not require consuming Magic Power, he still had plenty of Magic Power in his body even after continuously releasing skills.

"Yo-ho~ I say, you surnamed Zhu, what's up with you, a battle maniac? Why aren't you using many skills? Are you about to run out of mana? Tsk tsk~ That's true, you rely on the sword under your feet to fly, unlike me who has wings after transforming."

Facing Wang Ce's mockery, Zhu Zhiquan roared and flew toward Wang Ce; his body surface also turned bright red due to his boiling blood, and the surrounding temperature rose along with his roar.

Wang Ce was not in a hurry either, constantly keeping a certain distance from Zhu Zhiquan, attempting to exhaust his Magic Power.

"Come on, come on! Let's see if your precious sword can bring you to the same height!" As he spoke, Wang Ce flew toward the clouds.

Zhu Zhiquan also controlled the Five-Star Sword to fly toward the clouds, when suddenly the Five-Star Sword's speed became slower and slower, until it stalled in mid-air.

"Good chance!" Wang Ce keenly noticed this moment and dove toward Zhu Zhiquan as he began to fall.

In mid-air, Zhu Zhiquan waved his arms at the Five-Star Sword repeatedly, but the Five-Star Sword simply did not respond.

This made Wang Ce even more convinced that Zhu Zhiquan had no Magic Power left, so he flapped his wings and accelerated toward Zhu Zhiquan.

"Go to hell! Poison! Absolute! Chasing! Wind! Drill!" One end of the long staff in Wang Ce's hand turned into a drill, and the strong wind brought about by its rotation pushed him to fly toward Zhu Zhiquan at an even faster speed.

In mid-air, Zhu Zhiquan no longer tried to control the Five-Star Sword, but looked at Wang Ce with an indifferent face, letting himself fall downward.

At this moment, the joy of victory had already climbed onto the corners of Wang Ce's mouth, and the distance between the two in the air was constantly closing.

Ten meters.

Eight meters.

Six meters.

Four meters.

Two meters.

Finally, when Wang Ce's drill was less than one meter away from Zhu Zhiquan, Zhu Zhiquan's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and a smug smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Oh no!" Wang Ce realized something was wrong, but it was already too late for him.

"Phoenix Cloud Fire!"

"Five-Star Sword Clone!"

Zhu Zhiquan channeled his Magic Power, surrounding himself with four Huofeng, which collided with Wang Ce's skill.

At the same time, the Five-Star Sword manifested four Five-Star Sword Clones; the main body rested against Zhu Zhiquan's back to slow his descent, while the four clones pierced into Wang Ce's body from four different angles.
