It was a piece of cake to defeat this team. They were not on the same level. Hu Shimeng, Heaven of Lords, Ye and Wang Ningxue had become familiar with each other after fighting for such a long time. Lu Li and Gu Shanqiu didn't even have to do anything. The three of them could defeat the four easily.
Hu Shimeng knew a strong defensive skill. He had a layer of black scales over his body which was quite strong.
He also had a Sovereign Weapon halberd. Naturally, he was quite powerful.
Wang Ningxue's footwork was strange. She was like a ghost. Lu Li could not tell where she was going to attack from. Also, after one attack, she would retreat regardless of whether it was successful or not.
The next breath, she would come at you from another angle, catching you off guard.
Heaven of Lords' soul attack was strong. At the very least, it could interfere with the opponent's movements and slow down the opponent's reaction time.
One could imagine the outcome of a slow reaction when fighting against powerful warriors like Hu Shimeng and Wang Ningxue …
The time for five breaths!
In the time for merely five breaths, Lu Li didn't even have to do anything. The four of them were finished. Three were badly injured and the last one admitted defeat. If he didn't, he would be badly injured as well.
Since there was no hope, they might as well make it quick so that they could save some face.
Hu Shimeng and the others had held back. Otherwise, given their abilities, the four of them wouldn't even have the strength to get up. They would be carried away if they went out.
After the four were defeated, the warriors nearby became nervous. Lu Li's team was free now. They wouldn't stay still and would attack the other teams.
At the moment, everyone else was fighting. If Lu Li and his team attacked a group, that group would be doomed.
Hu Shimeng and the others stopped. The three of them took two pellets and rested for a few breaths.
"Guys, I think we should be more cautious. Something is not right …"
Lu Li said after some thoughts. However, Hu Shimeng, Wang Ningxue and Heaven of Lords paid no attention to him. Hu Shimeng looked at Guan Qianqiu and shouted, "Attack!"
Everyone nearby seemed to be relieved. Hu Shimeng and Lu Li were going to take advantage of the situation.
Were they going to kill Guan Qianqiu and the others?
Hu Shimeng, Wang Ningxue and Heaven of Lords rushed over. Gu Shanqiu followed them.
Even though Lu Li felt something was off, what else could he do in this situation?
Now, the whole team was bound together. If the four of them were defeated, then Lu Li wouldn't stand a chance. Even though Lu Li felt something was off, he still rushed forward.
Guan Qianqiu's group was surrounded by three groups, and one of them had already been eliminated. It was easy to understand why they were asking for help, and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, Lu Li instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. This was an instinct that he had developed from years of living on the line between life and death.
Hu Shimeng's group of three was clearly going to attack Guan Qianqiu's group. The three teams were immediately overjoyed. With such powerful reinforcements, wouldn't Guan Qianqiu's group be immediately defeated?
Boom!
But when Hu Shimeng got close, he sent one of the three groups flying with a single blow. Wang Ningxue also launched a sneak attack on one of them, piercing a hole through his chest. Lord Sky Leaf's soul attack sent one of them into a frenzy and sent him flying.
As soon as he attacked, he instantly injured three people. The members of the other three groups were all dumbfounded.
How could Guan Qianqiu and the others miss such an opportunity? They all released powerful attacks and injured three more people.
There were 15 people in the three groups. Before, there were only 11 left. This time, six of them were severely injured, leaving only five.
There was no way to continue this fight. That being said, the remaining five people didn't admit defeat. They attacked Lu Li and the others with bloodshot eyes. They were ready to drag some people down with them even if they had to lose.
Hu Shimeng and the others didn't mind. There were only five of them. Including Guan Qianqiu and the others, there were nine of them, and there were many powerful ones. These people were like grasshoppers tied up. They couldn't jump around much longer.
"Whoosh!"
However, right at that moment, people from the second group and the tenth group rushed over at the same time. They all gave up on their current opponents and rushed toward Guan Qianqiu and the others.
"No, retreat —"
Even though people from the second group and the tenth group were staring at Guan Qianqiu and the others, Lu Li could feel the hidden killing intent in them. The killing intent was directed at Guan Qianqiu and the others.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li retreated at once. At the same time, he sent a message to the other four, "Retreat. We have fallen into Guan Qianqiu's trap. They are ganging up on us."
"Eh?"
Hu Shimeng was stunned. Wang Ningxue, Jun Tianye, and Gu Shanqiu reacted quickly and retreated at once.
Either way, it was easy for problems to arise when two groups were charging at each other. It was always better to retreat first.
"Boom!"
Hu Shi wanted to retreat, but it was already too late. Five powerful attacks landed on his body, and the black scales on his body exploded layer by layer. His body was blasted into a bloody mess, and one of his legs was directly chopped off. He was severely injured in an instant.
"Guan Qianqiu!"
Hu Shimeng would be an idiot if he still didn't understand. He shouted in rage, "We are here to help you and you stab us in the back?"
"I don't have a choice, Brother Hu!"
Guan Qianqiu said helplessly, "Only three groups can advance. Apart from our group, your group is the strongest. If we can't defeat you, our group will have no hope.
I must join the Celestial Emperor Sect. I am sorry. Brother Hu, just admit defeat. I will pay you a visit and apologize. "
"I will pay you back!"
Even though Hu Shimeng was badly injured, he roared and flew up. The Sovereign Weapon in his hand glowed. Clearly, he was going to use his killing move. He wanted to drag Guan Qianqiu down with him.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Guan Qianqiu and company were already prepared. Hu Shimeng was badly injured and naturally slowed down. Before he could release his attack, a few more attacks came. Hu Shimeng was once again sent flying thousands of feet. He landed heavily on the ground and fainted.
"Buzz ~"
Those who fainted would be automatically eliminated and teleported out. After all, the Celestial Emperor Sect was afraid that too many people would die.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Of the three groups that had joined forces, only five were left. These five quickly retreated. The two groups that had been attacked by the second and tenth groups also quickly retreated and gathered together.
They did not even bother to send voice transmissions and gathered together.
The second, fourth, and tenth groups had joined forces. It was obvious that they wanted to advance. If the other groups did not join forces, they could only wait to be eliminated one by one.
"This is troublesome …"
Wang Ningxue, Jun Tianye, and Gu Shanqiu's expressions were very ugly. The battle royale had now become a battle between three kingdoms. They had become the weakest group. The other two groups now had more than ten people each.
Guan Qianqiu and company did not look at the ten-odd people gathered together. Instead, they stared at Wang Ningxue and company.
Clearly, they had decided that as long as Wang Ningxue and company were defeated, the remaining ten-odd people would not be a concern.
After they were eliminated, the other ten-odd people could be defeated. Then, the three groups would be able to advance.
"Damn it!"
Lu Li's face was clouded as well. The second, fourth, and tenth groups must have communicated with each other secretly. Or, Guan Qianqiu had promised them great benefits.
Now that Hu Shimeng had been eliminated, Guan Qianqiu and company's abilities were greatly reduced. The other ten-odd people gathered clearly did not trust Guan Qianqiu and company. It was unlikely that they would join forces to deal with the second, fourth, and tenth groups.
