Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 115 The Pyramids (Part 3)
The entire second team reunited, and after listening to Yilanba's story, they decided to rush back to the Time Gate that very night to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Everyone took off and flew at high speed back to the Time Gate; the matter was urgent and they couldn't linger. At midnight, they finally returned to the Time Gate. However, they couldn't find the first team members; they didn't know how they were doing or if they had encountered any danger. Now, they could only wait.

On the last day, the first team still hadn't returned by noon. What should we do? Could something have happened to them?

"Should we go and greet them? I wonder if they've encountered any danger?" Zhao Tianliang said to everyone.

Yilan domineeringly said, "Send a few flying experts to fly over and check. They must return the way they came within an hour's distance, or it will be too late!"

"I agree, I'll sign up." Lan Tian was the first to speak, agreeing and willing to participate.

“Alright, I’ll go with Lan Tian. You guys wait here. If we return on time, just go back directly and don’t wait for us!” Zhao Tianliang said. He was quite responsible, worthy of being one of the younger generation of the Spirit Hall.

"I'll go with you too." Seeing that Lan Tian was going, Yi Mengying wanted to go as well; she wanted to be with Lan Tian.

When Yilanba saw that Yimengying was going, and knowing that her objections were useless, he arranged for Yilante to go with her. The four of them quickly took flight and sped off towards the direction of the first squad.

On the direction the first squad had set off, everyone found everything normal, nothing suspicious, and no signs of a battle were found along the way.

The first team was heading towards the desert pyramids. This was much closer than the distance the second team had discovered the second pyramid. They must have arrived at this pyramid area much earlier. If they were to recklessly enter, they would surely encounter high-level experts inside, which would be extremely dangerous!
Just as the four were speculating, the sounds of fierce fighting arose ahead. Not far ahead, a group of people were chasing another group and rushing rapidly toward the four.

"They're our men, everyone prepare for battle," Zhao Tianliang ordered.

Lan Tian immediately went into battle mode. He couldn't afford any more major casualties. He had to stop it privately, but he couldn't let anyone suspect anything.

Ahead, a force of several hundred men was pursuing the first squad. Now, less than ten men remain, suffering heavy losses. The others may have been lost forever.

"Elantra, use your combo skill! Quick, quick!"

"Coming!"

Blue Sky and Elantra combined their skills, unleashing their full power – Phoenix Shines Brightly. A powerful fire-attribute attack swept across a vast area towards the hundreds of pursuers, its wide range completely suppressing them and momentarily pausing their attack.

"Little sister, use your skill." Ilante turned around and said anxiously to Yi Mengying. He knew that Yi Mengying's skill was special and that the opponent would definitely not be able to defend against it.

"Received, Sixth Brother." After saying that, Yi Mengying unleashed her full power of skill attack, instantly igniting a mental attack that shocked the opponent once again, causing the pursuit to pause for a moment.

This time, Yi Mengying completely controlled the situation. All the pursuers here were under her mental control, instantly immersed in a mental illusion from which they could not extricate themselves. This allowed the first team to quickly retreat. Seeing everyone so disheveled and passive, they wondered what had happened to them.

"Leave quickly, we can't hold them off for long, their high-level experts will be chasing after us," Zhao Tianliang shouted to the members of the fleeing first squad.

Lan Tian chimed in, "We'll cover the rear. Everyone, get back to the portal as soon as possible, or it'll be too late!"

At this moment, without hesitation, everyone exerted all their strength, spread their wings, and flew back at top speed. If those behind them realized what was happening, they would all be stuck there, in imminent danger.

Lan Tian secretly contacted Xiao Yang, asking him to recall all these guys. By now, Xiao Yang should have fully awakened the remaining Five Tigers! These pursuers probably haven't received orders yet, or perhaps this is a conspiracy by the Five Tigers to send Lan Tian and his group on their way.

Just as Lan Tian was deep in thought, Chen Gang, one of the Five Tigers, arrived. He was immune to Yi Mengying's attack attributes and skills; his high rank made him completely unaffected. With a lightning bolt attack, he shattered Yi Mengying's skills, released the mental restraints on his subordinates, and restored their attack power.

"Not good, their expert is here! You all need to leave quickly!" Lan Tian said first. He knew that none of them were a match for Chen Gang now. He was a peak expert at the first level of the Venerable Realm, and he could wipe them out in an instant with just a finger. However, Lan Tian already had a feeling that Xiao Yang had used the ring he gave him to awaken Chen Gang. Otherwise, no one could awaken Chen Gang so easily. It seemed that this guy had come to see him off, and had come specifically for this purpose.

Countless years have passed in the blink of an eye. Upon waking up, he would definitely want to see his master. After hearing Xiao Yang's words, this guy wanted to come and meet Lan Tian and see the Holy Lord of this life.

"Hahaha, none of you can escape!" Chen Gang shouted in a threatening tone.

Lan Tian thought to himself, "What's wrong with this guy? How dare he be so arrogant? I guess I have to teach him a lesson."

Lan Tian silently recited this in his heart.

"Little cutie, golden armor."

"Yes, Master"

Suddenly, golden light flashed, and one after another, golden armors rushed towards Lan Tian from the sky. With a series of clicks, they enveloped Lan Tian's entire body. The golden armor was formed in an instant, shining brightly. The armor's flowing blue energy fluctuations gave it an aura of an invincible war god, overwhelming everyone present and leaving them stunned.

This was the first time Yi Mengying had seen Lan Tian like this, and she was filled with excitement. Was this really her Lan Tian brother? He was so dashing, so handsome, and so imposing.

"Brother Lantian, Brother Lantian!" Yi Mengying suddenly became enthusiastic and rushed up to stand beside Lantian, fighting side by side. At this moment, she completely trusted Lantian, sharing life and death with him, never abandoning him.

"Sword of Light"

With a shout, a divine sword flew out from Lan Tian's body and soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it descended rapidly from the sky. Countless energies gathered from all directions onto the sword, increasing in number. All the light energy in the vicinity converged into this divine sword.

The Sword of Light, as its name suggests, can cut through all darkness and possesses astonishing power. Lan Tian holds this divine sword in his hand, condensing wisdom and the power of light.

"Light... Brightness... Slash..."

At this moment, the Divine Sword of Light in Lan Tian's hand slashed straight at his opponent. The earth-shattering force shook mountains and rivers; the sword energy surged forth like a tidal wave. Chen Gang panicked. This power, this divine sword, was not to be trifled with. It seemed he had really messed things up today! How was he going to clean up this mess? His master's move was no weaker than before! He was in for a rough time! Why didn't that brat Xiao Yang come? Why didn't he warn me?

……

"Ah...ah...ah!"

Even with all his might, Chen Gang couldn't defend against this sword strike and was repeatedly attacked, barely managing to survive and prevent the people behind him from dying in vain. This was terrible; they would likely face further torment from their lord in the future.

Blue Sky's one-hit kill attack instantly caused a violent gust of wind, with sand and stones flying everywhere, almost obscuring the sun. He knew in his heart that this couldn't truly kill the opponent; it was merely to make it easier for everyone to escape and return to the Blue Card Continent.

Lan Tian didn't even have time to observe the effects of the attack before grabbing Yi Mengying and quickly evacuating. Everyone hurried away from this ominous place, accelerating their return to the portal to escape as soon as possible.

When everyone finally returned to the portal and reunited with the first and second squads, before they could even react, Zhao Tianliang ordered them to enter the portal and return. They couldn't linger for even a moment; after all, he had met that high-level expert. If they were any later, he would arrive, and they would all die here.

Therefore, without saying a word, everyone filed in and quickly left. They didn't want to stay a moment longer.
