194: Preparing for a counterattack

Boom!

With the two teams joining forces, the Ancient Battlefield, which had been quiet for less than an hour, immediately erupted with even more intense battle sounds.

Especially when the people from Death Paradise realized that the two teams had united to kick them out, their resistance became even more fierce; even if they died, they would drag a few enemies down with them.

"See? They're a pack of mad dogs. Be careful, don't let them drag you down."

"To fight for victory, they're even throwing their lives away."

"Heh heh, if I were surrounded like that, I would have given up the mission and returned to the Paradise long ago."

"Even if it meant paying a price..."

Watching the Contractors of Death Paradise, who would drag several people down with them even in Death, the Contractors of Eternal Life and Dawn Paradise were stunned.

They couldn't understand such behavior. Are these people from Death Paradise not afraid of Death?

Of course, as the leaders of the two major teams, the two Saints and Zhou Tian could understand the behavior of the Death Contractors, knowing that their mission penalties were different from their own.

Whether it was Eternal Life or Dawn, their most severe mission penalties were exile or attribute stripping, not Death.

But in Death Paradise, there was only one price for mission failure: forced execution!

And this was why the Death Contractors fought so desperately!

As time passed, more and more Death Contractors were found and began to be eliminated by the two teams, which also made many Death Contractors hidden in the shadows feel threatened.

In fact, Death Contractors were not afraid of the Contractors from the other two teams, but their weakness was the absence of a representative figure. If no one could stop the two Saints and Zhou Tian, they would simply be slaughtered.

Thus, someone remembered Nie Guang, the "Heartbreaker," whom some had mentioned before. The remaining Death Contractors, pushed to a dead end by the two teams, finally began to band together, seeking Heartbreaker, intending for him to lead the team to ultimate victory.

Li An and his three companions also observed this situation.

But there was no rush; these unruly Death Contractors had not yet been pushed to the brink and could wait a little longer.

And because the Death Contractors banded together, Li An and his three companions finally had another opportunity to hunt. They moved around the edges of the two major teams, looking for isolated Contractors to hunt down.

Facing another inexplicable reduction in their team, the two Saints and Zhou Tian were furious. Their roars echoed throughout the Ancient Battlefield, and they swore to find the rats hidden in the shadows.

However, two hours passed, and their efficiency in eliminating Death Contractors became lower and lower. Instead, many of their own Contractors died mysteriously, which made the leaders of both sides realize something.

Perhaps from the beginning, there was a hidden team from Death Paradise hunting their people, but at that time, they simply hadn't discovered it.

After realizing this, the two Saints and Zhou Tian finally changed their approach, beginning to gather their personnel. They no longer went out to search for Death Contractors; instead, they held their ground, waiting for the enemy to lose patience and come to them.

But one thing the two Saints and Zhou Tian didn't know was that when they gathered their personnel, Li An and his three companions, knowing that they could no longer hunt Contractors, finally appeared before the remaining Death Contractors.

Nie Guang stood at the front, calmly observing the remaining Death Contractors. There were currently fifty-eight Contractors on his side.

This was the number of Death Contractors after two joint purges by Eternal Life and Dawn. Although their numbers had sharply decreased, there was no doubt that those who survived two joint purges were absolute powerhouses.

"Who knows how many people are left on those two sides now?"

After scanning the crowd, Nie Guang immediately asked.

Fighting alone could no longer complete the mission; only by gathering the team and concentrating their strength could they possibly turn the tide!

"Heh heh, there are ninety-eight people left on Eternal Life's side now. Dawn's side is more miserable; although they have Zhou Tian, that monster, he is only one person and can't protect many subordinates, so only eighty-one remain."

As Nie Guang's words fell, a low, playful laugh immediately sounded from within the remaining Death Paradise team.

Everyone looked, and saw that it was a hunched old man.

Chameleon!!!

When everyone saw the old man's appearance, they immediately recognized his identity, and seeing that this information came from Chameleon's mouth, everyone's faces immediately showed excited expressions.

Chameleon!

He was a somewhat well-known figure in Death Paradise. He appeared as an old man, but in reality, he was just a teenager. It was said that Chameleon's appearance was related to his ability.

He could hide in the void, skilled in reconnaissance and disguise.

"In that case, there are still one hundred seventy-nine people on the other side."

"We still have fifty-eight people."

"Interesting..."

At this moment, Nie Guang compared the difference in strength between the two sides. He wasn't actually worried about the numbers; the only thing on his mind was how to use their existing strength to eliminate the enemy.

The two Saints and Zhou Tian were indeed difficult. With his strength, he could hold off one side, but he couldn't counter-kill.

This made things a bit tricky, as it meant that one representative figure would inevitably be left unopposed.

Thinking of this, Nie Guang looked at Li An. During their interactions over this period, Nie Guang had realized that he initially thought Li An's strength was similar to his own, but later he gradually realized that Li An's strength was actually greater than his; he didn't even know Li An's upper limit.

Of course!

Li An's power didn't make Nie Guang feel threatened. He was still very clear about his position, and besides, they were now part of a common interest.

As Nie Guang looked at Li An, Li An, who already had some tacit understanding, naturally saw something in Nie Guang's eyes. He then said calmly.

"I have no problem. Zhou Tian, leave him to me."

As Li An's words fell, all the Death Contractors on the field turned their gazes to him.

When they saw that it was an unknown person who spoke, everyone immediately prepared to laugh, but then they felt a surge of killing intent. It was Nie Guang, who saw through their thoughts and immediately let out a cold laugh.

"If you want to mock my brother here, don't blame me if you die."

"Even I can't stop my brother."

Though radiating killing intent, Nie Guang was smiling as he spoke. As his gaze swept over everyone in turn, everyone stood frozen in place.
