When Gao Changkong said those words, Zhang Yi immediately narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, he instantly flashed in front of Liang Yue and the others.

"Jingwei, open the Shadow Space and let them in!"

Zhang Yi said unhurriedly.

Gao Changkong and the two groups from the Knights of the Round Table looked at Zhang Yi, not knowing what he intended to do now.

Jingwei immediately opened the shadow, allowing Liang Yue and the others to enter.

Everyone chose to trust Zhang Yi. On the battlefield, one must obey the orders of superiors and not casually argue at critical moments.

After they entered the Shadow Space, Zhang Yi took out his over-two-meter-long heavy sniper rifle, Thunderbolt, and leisurely loaded the newly forged Sacred Silver bullets.

These bullets were made from the new Yi Metal. Even without using special abilities, they could injure superhumans.

Even theoretically, they had a chance to injure an Epsilon-level superhuman through a sneak attack!

And when combined with Zhang Yi's ability, their power would be elevated to a terrifying level.

"Alright then, if you put it that way, I'll give up on whatever is inside this Nine-Story Demon Tower."

Zhang Yi said this while raising the heavy sniper rifle in his hand.

He cast a light, casual glance at Gao Changkong.

"But you should know my capabilities. Forget you two sides joining forces; even if two more superhumans of the same level came, as long as I want to leave, none of you can hope to stop me!"

"But I will definitely be somewhere in the distance, keeping my gun aimed at your heads at all times!"

A mischievous smile appeared on Zhang Yi's face.

"Want to give it a try?"

Lancelot didn't yet understand what this statement meant because he wasn't clear about Zhang Yi's abilities.

But Gao Changkong's expression turned somewhat grave.

It had been two years since they last met. Back then, Zhang Yi was already an ability user who primarily used firearms as his weapon.

And now, Zhang Yi's long-range attack methods must be even more terrifying.

Imagine being constantly aimed at by a method that poses a lethal threat to you, by an opponent you can never kill—what kind of experience would that be?

Forget about him; his subordinates would definitely die, without any doubt.

He wasn't like Zhang Yi; he didn't have the means to pull people into an Alternate Dimensional Space.

Gao Changkong suddenly laughed.

He waved his hand at Zhang Yi. "Really, my old friend, you still can't take a joke."

He said calmly, "I stopped caring about the past long ago. My enemies are Zhu Zheng and those incompetent high-ranking officials of the Jiangnan Region, not you. So, we don't need to fight to the death here and let someone else pick up the pieces."

Upon hearing this, Lancelot smiled and said, "You seem to be talking about me? Damn it, this is really an unwarranted disaster. I don't even know who you are or what your relationship is."

Gao Changkong looked meaningfully at Lancelot.

"At a time like this, sir, there's no need to keep pretending anymore, right? Am I correct, Sir Lancelot Dulat, Vice Commander of the Britannia [Knights of the Round Table], the [Judgment Knight]!"

Lancelot looked at Gao Changkong, the wild grin on his face not diminishing, but his gaze slowly sharpened.

"I never expected that one of the Eight Legions of Heavenly Gods of Bharata, the [Garuda], would actually be from the Huaxu Kingdom!"

The current Gao Changkong had officially joined the Bharata Alliance's special combat force organization, the Eight Legions of Heavenly Gods, with the organization codename [Garuda].

This wasn't just his name; it was also the name of his current team.

Each of the Eight Legions of Heavenly Gods represented an organization.

Garuda's sequence among the Eight Legions was relatively high.

If Gao Changkong hadn't been from the Huaxu Kingdom, he might even have had a chance to compete for the title of Deva [Indra].

Then Lancelot looked towards Zhang Yi.

"Disguising your ability as fire is indeed a very clever method. However, the characteristic of using a heavy sniper rifle is quite easy to identify. Among all the superhumans in the world I know of who fight in the same way and are at the Epsilon level, there aren't many."

"So, you are the Jiangnan Region's [Chaos] of the Huaxu Kingdom, right?"

At this moment, the three parties here had already revealed their cards.

The three parties had formed a kind of balance, and none could act rashly.

If there were only two sides, they could simply fight it out, but they also had to worry about the existence of the third party.

Zhang Yi slung Thunderbolt over his shoulder, smiled, and silently retreated a few steps.

"Forget it, I'm not really interested in this thing either. You guys carry on. I won't keep you company!"

After saying this, Zhang Yi actually opened his Dimensional Space and disappeared on the spot, not even giving them a chance to speak.

Gao Changkong, Lancelot, and the others looked at each other.

Lancelot frowned and said, "He ran away?"

Gao Changkong shook his head and smiled. "No, you say that because you simply don't understand him!"

"He hasn't gone far at all. He's definitely watching us from somewhere, with his gun aimed at both our heads."

"If we really start fighting, he'll get exactly what he wants."

Zhang Yi's firing range was super long-range, with a maximum range already reaching 10 kilometers.

With the help of the Smart System of the [Hidden Dragon Armor], he could aim at enemies as far as ten kilometers away.

So, of course, he didn't need to get close for combat.

Hearing this, Lancelot's expression also turned serious. He heightened his attention to avoid any bullets that might shoot from the shadows at any moment.

He didn't believe Zhang Yi could kill him with a single shot from ten kilometers away. Forget killing him, as long as the bullet came, he could dodge it with his powerful reaction ability.

But the prerequisite was that he couldn't be engaged in combat with someone else.

Gao Changkong obviously understood this principle as well.

The two of them stood in a stalemate in front of the Nine-Story Demon Tower, and the situation fell into a deadlock for the moment.

Gao Changkong couldn't help but inwardly smile bitterly.

Originally, he wanted to trick Zhang Yi, but he never expected to be thoroughly outmaneuvered by Zhang Yi instead.

In the distance, however, Zhang Yi was not doing as the two of them thought. He found a high place that could overlook the entire city and landed there.

Below, the noise of the crowd was deafening. The residents of the Demon Kingdom were now in complete panic. Cries, shouts, and angry curses blended into a chaotic uproar.

And in an even more distant place, at the edge of the Sea of Blood, two terrifying auras were clashing fiercely. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It was precisely the Lord of the Charnel Ground and the Grand Priest of the Demon Kingdom who were fighting.

In a head-on confrontation between Epsilon-level superhumans, unless the difference in strength is too great, it's very difficult to quickly achieve a kill.

Therefore, even though the Lord of the Charnel Ground possessed Black Chariot-level strength, facing the Grand Priest who employed guerrilla tactics and had the advantage of terrain, it was hard for him to gain an absolute advantage.

Zhang Yi had Jingwei release Liang Yue and the others.

The group looked at Zhang Yi. Liang Yue was the first to ask, "Zhang Yi, what do you plan to do?"

Zhang Yi shook the Thunderbolt in his hand. "As long as I'm keeping an eye on them, they won't have a moment's peace. Don't worry. Forget them; even if the Lord of the Charnel Ground makes a move, he won't be able to do anything to me!"

His gaze turned stern. "Right now, their attention is all drawn to the Nine-Story Demon Tower. This is the perfect time for us to start our operation!"
