Zhalun's original plan had been to find another big tree to shelter in. His cloak allowed him to glide short distances, and with this trick, he had no idea how many assassins he had secretly killed.
After all, most assassins' charge skills only involved a single displacement. When Zhalun flew away during their initial charge, they could only stare blankly. Zhalun could then calmly manipulate his swarm of venomous insects and finish off his opponent with ranged spells.
However, Zhalun had miscalculated one thing.
Li Shuyi was in the middle of Invincible Slash! Her figure clung to him like a bone-eating maggot, each slash changing direction, yet never leaving the area around Zhalun.
Streams of blood sprayed out. Zhalun cried out in pain and was knocked from the air, rolling awkwardly across the ground.
What Zhalun had not expected was that Li Shuyi, who had only been an Elite Class a year ago, had now improved so much! He had originally paid her no mind, but now, Li Shuyi already possessed the ability to kill him alone.
Zhalun sprang up after rolling and hurriedly fled.
Li Shuyi landed as well and pursued him at a run.
Killing Zhalun first was the tactic Bai Xiaowen had established. This Gu Summoner posed too great a threat in the No-Man's Zone. If they did not take him down, the Special Forces Brigade on Bai Xiaowen's side would be unable to bring its advantage into play!
Although they had Psionic Sprayers and specially made insect-killing psionic potions, if the Special Forces Brigade devoted all its energy to the venomous insects, it would have no time to deal with the other enemies.
So at the very least, they had to keep Zhalun from manipulating the insects.
Zhalun had not run more than a few steps
