811 A thickening conspiracy (2/2)
However, since he's a world esper, with just a hand, he can kill everyone here. What's the need to hide? Since he loves his men so much, why expose them to danger? Experience? Is this some kind of joke? Facing people from the Tian family, who would have the luxury to train? The most logical choice would be killing everyone at once and then leave the scene as quickly as possible!
Under what circumstances would the enemy resort to their current choice?
Or perhaps he's afraid of the consequences?
Su Hao fell into deep thought.
A battle, it's inexplicable, Su Hao was just playing alone. He just kept defending with no thoughts of offense. As for that member of Team F, he also slowed down his attacks and did not dare to take any drastic actions. Obviously, he had also thought of something terrifying.
As for that other member of Team F who Su Hao had marked, he was even more anxious. Since his men aren't here yet, this battle mustn't end. Thus, the most active one was him. He couldn't lose; neither could he let the enemy win. Also, he mustn't allow Team F to fail.
A battle that was supposed to be large slowed down.
”Humph! A bunch of newbies!” Xie Te sneered. Thinking that these people were being timid since this was their first mission, he took out a delicate trumpet-like object out of sudden.
”What is this?”
Everyone's heart skipped a beat as they all turned over here.
At such a critical moment, no one would have thought Xie Te would take it out and play it.
”I thought I mentioned I want this battle to end quick.” Xie Te smirked. He put the little trumpet in front of his mouth. That strange posture caused Su Hao's heart to pause for a second. This posture, could it be...
”Roar!” Xie Te roared.
A horrible sound wave entered the small trumpet before being amplified and sweeping across the area. Such a terrifying roar entered everyone's mind, and was literally impossible to resist! Those men who tried to take advantage of them painfully covered their ears while they could barely resist it. Some people were badly affected that all seven apertures on their face bleed.
After the sound wave ended, it was a total mess.
Countless men were injured, and they were helplessly struggling on the ground. Xie Te was just about to get rid of them when his face suddenly changed, ”There are more men coming. Quick, let's leave!”
Boom!
Everyone heard the sound and didn't even have the time to pay attention to those on the ground as they quickly left the scene with the Nitai artifacts.
”Leader.” The traitor anxiously said, ”Why not kill them when they're already defeated? If they aren't killed, soon they will catch up with us. If they are to combine forces with the incoming men...
”Shut up.” Xie Te stared at him coldly, ”Who is the leader here? If we kill them, only the later party would be getting an advantage! Time is precious for us. We can't afford to waste it! There is nothing to worry regarding those chasing us from behind. At least, it's not an interception from the front. As long as we're quick enough, we can get rid of them, can't we?”
”Oh...” The traitor revealed an embarrassed look.
”What an actor.” Su Hao sighed and looked at the time which had passed. Although Xie Te had prevented it once, with this spy in the team, sooner or later, they would get discovered. Sure enough, after only an hour, Team F was once again under attack.
”Still not staying?”
A loud sound rang in their ears.
A burly man with a long stick appeared. With a row of three peak domain espers intercepting them, Xie Te's calm face finally changed.
Three peak domain espers!
”Again?” Xie Te sighed, ”Although a mission will never be smooth sailing, isn't this a bit too much? Plus, you all are from that bunch of men, right? Hehe, it's obvious that your men can't be this quick. To be able to intercept us in front, seems that we do have some spies in our team?”
After all, Xie Te had performed many missions, allowing him to identify the core of the problem.
That spy had a change of expression. He was just about to retreat when he suddenly heard a loud bang, coming from Xie Te's kick, ”Stiff body, pale expression, you think you can keep acting? The moment when you suggested an idea that could destroy our team, I could already guess it was you.”
”Humph, so what if it's me?” The spy smirked and quickly fled.
Xie Te didn't move. All he did was press a button on his communication device, ”Crack!” That spy, who was escaping, suddenly collapsed and crashed to the ground.
”Although I don't know why you betrayed the Tian family, you seemed to have forgotten about our Tian family's footprint?” Xie Te said indifferently.
”Impossible.” The spy's eyes opened wide, ”I have already shielded myself from that footprint.”
”A footprint formed by Rule Force, is that something you can shield?” Xie Te sneered. With the emergence of Rule Force, it made that spy and enemies' face change.
The Tian family indeed had made an underhand move.
Bang!
Those three peak domain espers made a move, ”Quick, we can't let our man die!”
”Phew.” Xie Te's whole body illuminated. At least five Nitai artifacts surrounded his body, emitting a horrifying glow, ”Lin Hu, take the items and leave. Leave those guys to me.”
”Alright.” Su Hao nodded and led everyone to leave with the Nitai artifacts.
”Who dares?!” The enemy screamed out loud. With a long stick, an attack sped toward Su Hao and the others.
Snap!
One Nitai artifact on Xie Te's body flashed. In just a split second, he arrived in front of Su Hao.
”I said, your opponent is me.”
