Chapter 1435: Surrounding and Hunting the Beast |
When Gu Man saw Zhang Yi, she rushed over like she had found a savior.
"Zhang Yi, it's so good to see you!"
Zhang Yi had no idea what good had come her way, after all he and Gu Man barely had any relationship.
Usually when someone you barely know tells you there's good news, they most likely mean to set you up.
"What's so good?"
Zhang Yi sensed the aura of two Epsilon-level fighters in battle, and after a moment of thought he had already guessed they were Gao Changkong and the Hall's guardian.
Gu Man took a deep breath and explained the current situation to Zhang Yi. Of course, at this moment she couldn't hold anything back, even revealing Baburu's ability.
After all, the reason Zhang Yi and the others had come here was the treasures of Nasha; everyone wanted to reach the upper levels of the Holy Spirit Hall.
After hearing Gu Man's words, Zhang Yi also felt the situation was a bit thorny.
This was the first time Zhang Yi had met someone with the same attribute as him.
He knew full well how troublesome such an opponent could be, especially when the opponent's ability could reset their own time by a minute.
Zhang Yi was also a defensively inclined superhuman; he couldn't kill a Black Chariot-level Epsilon within one minute.
But Gu Man was also right—if they couldn't deal with that guardian, they wouldn't be able to reach the upper levels of the Holy Spirit Hall.
"I understand."
Zhang Yi said, then folded his arms and leaned against a pillar, showing no intention of entering the hall to help.
Gu Man grew anxious, "Zhang Yi, what are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for people."
Zhang Yi replied calmly.
Meeting Gu Man's puzzled gaze, Zhang Yi said, "Didn't Gao Changkong tell you? When facing that guy, having more people isn't necessarily good. Even if I go in, the two of us can be temporarily dominant, but if we can't kill the guardian within the one-minute limit, it's meaningless."
Gu Man frowned slightly. "Then what do you plan to do?"
Zhang Yi smiled, "Wait for people."
The person he was waiting for arrived not long after.
Lancelot, leading members of the Knights of the Round Table, appeared tardily from the other direction along the corridor.
He glared at Zhang Yi, and when he saw Gu Man, he felt extremely puzzled.
"What are you all doing here?"
He could also sense Gao Changkong and Baburu fighting.
But he couldn't understand why Zhang Yi was just watching.
"Waiting for you!"
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow and briefly explained the situation to Lancelot.
After hearing it, Lancelot let out a cold laugh.
"This problem is not hard to solve! A single powerful strike, no matter how strange his ability is, will still kill him!"
Zhang Yi nodded.
"But don't forget, his ability can displace objects within a certain area. So too many people going in isn't a good idea."
Lancelot glared at Zhang Yi fiercely. "Then what do you plan to do?"
Although he wouldn't settle the score with Zhang Yi over Bors right now, that didn't mean he had no resentment.
Zhang Yi said, "You and Gao Changkong are both excellent close-combat fighters, so you two go and hold that guy down. As for Hua Hua and me—"
Zhang Yi reached into his Dimensional Space with his right hand and brought out that huge sniper rifle, Thunderbolt.
"We'll support from long range!"
"This way, we avoid having our actions interfered with by his ability in the confined space."
Hearing this, Lancelot extended his right hand toward Zhang Yi. "If I'm to go restrain that guy, give me Bors back! With him, it's easier for me to use my ability."
Zhang Yi chuckled, "Don't be hasty. I said I'd return him after we leave here. But not now!"
Anger flashed across Lancelot's face.
But Zhang Yi's indifferent expression made it clear that demanding more was pointless.
He couldn't pick a fight with Zhang Yi now, because with Bors returned Zhang Yi and Hua Hua's assistance would make him unbeatable.
"You better keep your promise!"
Lancelot emphasized repeatedly, showing how important Bors was to him.
"Then let's move quickly!"
Zhang Yi looked up at the high dome of the Holy Spirit Hall.
His sixth sense told him they had to hurry, otherwise terrifying creatures would appear before them.
This feeling did not come from nowhere.
Baburu's actions and the hall's eerie emptiness proved one thing.
They were all delaying time for some other existence.
So Zhang Yi and the others had to race against the clock!
"Hopefully that guy proceeds smoothly and finishes what he needs to do quickly. Destroying Nasha is not our mission."
Zhang Yi muttered.
Lancelot summoned Sword and Shield and leapt into the hall.
"Hey! Let me join this fight too!"
Lancelot's appearance filled Gao Changkong with joy. At this point Gao Changkong had already been pushed to a disadvantage; if he continued the fight he would only flee.
Now with reinforcements, his pressure was significantly relieved.
"Be careful, this guy's ability is very peculiar!"
Gao Changkong warned Lancelot.
"Rest assured, your woman has already told us about it."
Lancelot said.
"You guys? Does that mean Chaos has also arrived?"
Gao Changkong asked.
"He's outside providing long-range support with that damn cat of his!"
Gao Changkong was very clever and immediately understood Zhang Yi's plan.
"That guy is as cunning—and cautious—as ever!"
At this moment, Gao Changkong received Zhang Yi's communication invitation and was pulled into a temporary channel.
All three of them were in it.
"Get ready, we're starting to hunt the beast!"
Zhang Yi's voice entered both of their ears calmly.
A smile curled Gao Changkong's mouth as he swung his Golden Holy Sword at Baburu!
Lancelot coordinated from another direction to attack Baburu with him.
Facing the suddenly appeared another Epsilon, Baburu's eyes beneath the Horned Helmet did not change much.
He fought two against one; his battle axe swung left and right, fiercely defending against their assault.
But outside the hall, Zhang Yi and Hua Hua had moved to a point five thousand meters away.
"At this distance, his ability shouldn't affect us, right?"
Zhang Yi sat on Hua Hua's back, then set up Thunderbolt's bipod atop her. The huge muzzle pointed toward Baburu inside the hall.
"Hua Hua, I'll count to three, then we attack together."
"Meow—"
Hua Hua responded to Zhang Yi.
Baburu inside the hall felt a terrifying aura lock onto him.
He could sense two powerful Epsilon-level presences had unleashed murderous intent toward him.
For the first time his eyes showed seriousness.
However, Gao Changkong and Lancelot's attacks had already drained much of his attention.
"Bang!!"
"Boom!!"
Zhang Yi and Hua Hua struck at the right moment.
A pitch-black Sacred Silver bullet wrapped in the power of dark void ripped through the sky from five kilometers away, leaving a thin black trail as it sped toward Baburu.
Beneath that bullet trace followed a colorful high-energy particle beam!
