"Who goes there?!"
Two voices rang out at once, one filled with surprise and delight, the other with shock and anger.
They came from General Zhang, the Nine-Star S-rank within the outpost, and the Nine-Star Priest leading the Crawlers, respectively.
Both had discerning eyes and immediately recognized that the newcomer's strength seemed no lower than their own.
Originally, the Crawlers had held a considerable advantage in overall fighting strength.
But if a Nine-Star S-rank powerhouse suddenly appeared on the human side, that would change everything!
All the human Nine-Star powerhouses are accounted for. When did another one spring up?
The Nine-Star Priest was shocked and furious, but had no time to dwell on it and hurriedly ordered the subordinates to abandon the encirclement and draw together.
With a Nine-Star powerhouse suddenly arriving, taking the Seventh Outpost was now impossible. It was time to consider retreating.
Still, the Nine-Star Priest was not overly panicked.
General Zhang had already suffered serious injuries in the earlier fighting and was no longer at peak strength.
Meanwhile, besides their uninjured Nine-Star leader, the Crawlers' high-end combatants included an Eight-Star and two Seven-Stars.
Battles between high-star S-rank powerhouses were not so easily decided. As long as the Crawlers contracted their defensive line and fought steadily, they could prolong the battle and cover their subordinates' retreat.
They could simply return to fight another day.
Hmph, a mere newly advanced Nine-Star won't affect the overall situation. Victory will be ours in the end!
That was what the Nine-Star Priest thought.
Just then, the Priest saw the current beneath Lin Yuan's feet change direction. He was charging straight toward the Priest!
Has he gone mad?!
The Nine-Star Priest was astonished.
The Priest was right at the center of the Crawlers' battle formation!
Wasn't charging in like this the same
