165: I've been waiting for you to say that.
Lin Xingyu's words were like a bombshell, exploding among the three.
"What? Jin Yaotian, that show-off?"
Wang Ledian instantly jumped up, his face changing drastically.
"No! We absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
The thought of Jin Yaotian's smug, villainous expression sent shivers down his spine.
If he lost, wouldn't he have to call him Big Brother?
Then his lifelong reputation would be completely ruined!
"Oh dear! I'm so angry!"
Wang Chiyao's small face was puffed up with anger, like a little steamed bun.
She hadn't expected that flashy Jin Yaotian to be so treacherous, actually stealing the blueprints!
"Hmph! I'll definitely make him pay!"
She waved her small fists, angrily rushing towards the Dark Fiend Dragon.
Li Hongyang didn't speak; the moment he received the news, he had already taken action.
He took three steps in two, leaping onto the back of the Dark Fiend Dragon.
The Dark Fiend Dragon carried everyone soaring into the sky, transforming into a black afterimage, speeding towards the Secret Realm exit.
Watching the three leave, Lin Xingyu immediately ordered the army to speed up.
He opened the spatialaisle to its maximum, making it convenient for the army to enter and exit.
The treants formed a long line, moving equipment one by one into the Inner World.
It must be said that although treants moved slowly, they were excellent at moving things.
Their thick vines could easily coil around heavy equipment.
This was something humans couldn't compare to.
The manufacturing center had dozens of production lines, all related to combat mechs.
They covered component production, assembly, testing, and the production of supporting weapons and ammunition.
As time passed, these production lines disappeared at a visible speed, leaving only empty factory buildings... On the other side.
The battle between Xia Fei and Jin Yaotian's team was still raging.
"Captain, I can't hold on much longer!"
A team member's face was pale, sweat dripping down his forehead.
The phantoms seemed endless; they had been fighting for so long, yet their numbers hadn't decreased at all.
They had tried to break through many times, but were always blocked by the phantoms.
The prolonged high-intensity battle had greatly depleted him, and his Qi was nearly exhausted.
"Let me recover for a bit, then we'll charge again."
Jin Yaotian poured the last recovery potion into his mouth.
He had been constantly buffing everyone, so his consumption was equally immense.
This was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent.
With just one person's strength, he had suppressed them to the point where they couldn't even raise their heads.
Jin Yaotian had used many items, but they were all easily neutralized by the opponent.
Even the random teleportation Formation Plate, which he always considered his trump card, was interfered with by the black mist and rendered useless.
After his Qi recovered, Jin Yaotian let out a low shout and once again buffed everyone.
Especially Lin Hanshuang, who had the strongest attack power in the team, received focused attention.
With numerous buffs stacked, his strength increased by a full tier.
"Old Han, you charge one more time, we'll cover you!"
Lin Hanshuang said nothing, transforming into a sharp greatsword and charging forward.
"You guys really have a lot of energy."
Xia Fei leaned lazily against a tree, yawning.
He gently waved the ten thousand souls banner, and another group of phantoms appeared out of thin air, blocking Lin Hanshuang.
These people were incredibly resilient, managing to hold out for so long under the phantom's siege.
It even made him a little impressed.
Especially that guy in the yellowish-brown outfit; he had an endless supply of items, clearly a rich person.
He probably could snatch a lot of good stuff from him, just thinking about it was exciting... Seeing this scene, Jin Yaotian's heart immediately sank.
"Damn, we're finished now..."
His recovery potions were all used up, and he had no strength left to resist.
Just then, a mischievous voice came from the sky.
"Yo, Old Jin, are you guys doing a square dance? It's so dark, why aren't the lights on?"
Wang Ledian, riding the Dark Fiend Dragon, hovered in mid-air, a punchable face poking out.
"You guys keep going, don't mind me."
As he spoke, he pulled out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and started cracking them.
Melon seed shells drifted down from the sky, scattering over Jin Yaotian and the others.
He had long been annoyed with Jin Yaotian for secretly stealing the blueprints, causing them a good chase.
Veins throbbed on Jin Yaotian's forehead, a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.
Wang Chiyao also poked her head out, opened a bag of snacks, and began eating as if no one else was around.
"Flashy Jin, keep it up, I'm rooting for you!"
"Hmm, this tastes good, you guys try some too..."
Now that she had caught up to Jin Yaotian, she was no longer in a hurry.
Jin Yaotian: "..."
He felt his blood pressure soaring.
These people were clearly here to watch him make a fool of himself!
But he had no choice; he could only hope they would rescue him.
He gritted his teeth and gave a look to his side.
His team members immediately understood, shouting up into the sky:
"Big Brother, help!"
"If you don't come soon, someone's going to die!"
"Lend a hand, brother..."
Before entering the Secret Realm, both sides had gotten to know each other.
Since Jin Yaotian couldn't bring himself to ask, they had to be the ones to call for help.
"No can do, we still have to chase the thief who stole the blueprints!"
Wang Ledian glanced at them, deliberately saying.
At these words, Jin Yaotian instantly understood.
He had just been wondering.
Logically, they had gotten along quite well before.
When he was in danger, they not only didn't help but actually watched him make a fool of himself.
Now he finally understood; it turned out they knew the blueprints were on him... Xia Fei watched this scene, his expression not looking good.
These few people chatted as if no one else was around, completely disregarding him.
His long-range attacks, when they landed on the Dark Fiend Dragon, had no effect whatsoever.
This left him helpless.
He could only order the phantoms to increase their attack intensity and quickly deal with Jin Yaotian and the others.
As the attack intensity increased, Jin Yaotian immediately couldn't hold on, and quickly shouted up into the sky:
"We admit defeat! The blueprints are yours, you win!"
Circumstances were stronger than him; he had to bow his head.
Regardless of the outcome, the blueprints were already lost.
Being a subordinate was better than losing his life.
"Haha, I was waiting for you to say that!"
Wang Ledian burst out laughing, controlling the Dark Fiend Dragon to descend to the ground, and charged towards Jin Yaotian with his shield.
He batted away the surrounding phantoms in a few moves, rescuing Jin Yaotian and his team.
"Don't you guys do anything, let me handle this!"
Wang Chiyao threw away the snacks in her hand, waved her hand, and summoned her Puppet Army, engaging in a fierce battle with the phantoms.
Xia Fei was an old acquaintance.
During the Newcomer's Trial, his human-wave tactics had made her incredibly envious.
Now that she had her own Puppet Army, she wanted to see whose human-wave tactics were more powerful.
"A fool delivered right to my doorstep!"
Xia Fei's face lit up with joy, and he waved his hand, summoning even more phantoms to pounce on Wang Chiyao's Puppet Army.
He couldn't do anything to the opponent when she was in the air, but now she had actually descended to the ground.
This gave him an opportunity!
The two sides instantly clashed, and a great battle once again unfolded.
However, this time the protagonists of the battle became Wang Chiyao's Puppets and Xia Fei's phantoms...
