When Huyan Li stepped into the area vacated by Imperial Fighting Team, no one in the Elephant Armor slowed down. In their view, the opponent's front line was already on the verge of collapse.

Since Imperial Fighting Team has taken the initiative to retreat, then we should continue to press. However, after the first step was taken, the contact time between the seven people was no longer synchronized.

The Elephant Armor member on the left was the first to encounter the Shi Mo. In front of Huyan Li in the middle, Dong Jian was still retreating.

The Shi Mo on the right is located deeper, and the Elephant Armor Soul Master opposite him needs to take another half step.

The difference was subtle, but Mountain Domain understood it perfectly.

The seven footholds that were originally almost overlapping were stretched into several layers for the first time.

"This is it."

Li Man said. The Green Jade Dragon Bamboo unfolded in front of her. This time, not a single bamboo grew directly in front of the Elephant Armor.

The array points all landed on the flanks and on Imperial Fighting Team's own retreat route. One was given to Shi Mo, and one to Shi Mo.

Two were placed beside the Elephant Armor's outer path of advance. The rest were only responsible for maintaining the connection in the middle. The bamboo formation did not obstruct anyone.

He only marked the location. Huyan Li saw the blue light on both sides, but he didn't stop.

"Continue."

The Shi Mo was hit first.

Bang!

The Black Tortoise held off a Diamond Mammoth Soul Master. This time, he didn't die.

After the initial collision, Shi Mo took a half-step back diagonally, following the path left by Li Man, and pulled his opponent to the left.

The opponent was stronger, so he could have continued to press. So he followed suit. And that's how he veered off course.

Dugu Yan raised her hand.

A narrow strip of poison, barely wide enough for one step, was laid out precisely in the most comfortable spot for the Elephant Armor member to step next.

The other party clearly saw it. Their foot was already raised; if it fell again, they would step into the Jade Phosphor Poison Fog.

He frowned and shifted his foot slightly to the side. Just a little. He didn't back down.

It didn't actually go that far around the block, but this step took about half a body length more than the original straight line.

"The left side is slower."

Dong Jian whispered a reminder. Li Man didn't reply; she was already looking to her right.

The Elephant Armor members opposite Shi Mo have just made contact.

Because the Shi Mo originally stood deeper, this side was naturally half a beat behind the left.

Shi Mo did not retreat further. The Black Tortoise sank, firmly fixing the contact in place. His task was not complicated.

Let it hold for as long as it can. So it stopped on the side with the Elephant Armor and circled around to the left half a step.

The right side was blocked by Shi Mo. The middle one became the fastest. Huyan Li had already walked up to Dong Jian.

If it were the previous chapter, Dong Jian would have first thought about how to transfer him out. This time, he didn't. He only looked at one thing.

Huyan Li was much earlier than the people next to him. Less than half a step. That was enough.

"Give me the middle part."

Yu Tianheng didn't intervene. Dong Jian went to meet him himself. Huyan Li.

"Again?"

"Come."

When the two made contact, Dong Jian had some space under his feet because neither of the two Elephant Armor team members on either side could press down on him simultaneously.

Bang!

Huyan Li's shoulder slammed into Dong Jian. Dong Jian's Black Stance sank, and he yielded with his shoulder.

My waist and hips shifted. My right foot slid half a step to the side and back. It was still very heavy.

Huyan Li pushing things forward remained unchanged. But this time, Dong Jian did not attempt to take the entire process with him.

He only rotated once, the first bit of weight landing on his body.

Once Huyan Li regained his weight, Dong Jian voluntarily released the contact.

Push the opponent's forearm side with your left hand. Don't try to retreat, just try to deflect it.

Huyan Li's upper body tilted slightly to the right, shifting his weight. Of course, he didn't fall.

He only needed one more step to regain his footing. The problem was, there were people behind him. The second row of the Elephant Armor was moving forward in the original straight line.

Huyan Li suddenly shifted half a shoulder's width in front of him, forcing the team members behind him to temporarily pull back their feet.

Bang! The two men's shoulder pads collided. The sound was deep.

No one was injured. But the advance came to a halt. Just for that instant.

Dong Jian has withdrawn from the mid lane.

"Tian Heng."

This time, only his name was called. Yu Tianheng moved. His Thunder Dragon Body had already covered his shoulders, arms, and legs.

He cut in from the side that Dong Jian had just vacated, not aiming for the hardest Huyan Li, Hu Yanli's chest, but instead grabbing the Elephant Armor player who was forced to expose himself due to his retraction of his leg.

Lightning struck. The first punch. The opponent raised his arm to block it.

The second punch landed on the same spot. He was still able to stand.

However, his companions behind him were blocked by Huyan Li's deflected body and could not immediately add weight to him.

The third punch.

Boom!

The elephant Elephant Armor team member finally took a step back. Not the whole rank retreated, but he was the only one.

This scene, when it occurred within Dong Jianyue's domain, had a completely different meaning. For the first time, the elephant armor exhibited a true difference in speed and direction.

"Right."

Li Man spoke. Shi Mo immediately loosened his grip by half a step. He voluntarily loosened his grip by half a step, letting in the force that had been holding him back.

The opposing Elephant Armor Soul Master had been exerting force, but suddenly, without the support of the tortoise shell, his body naturally lurched forward.

At the same time, a dot on Li Man's right lit up. Shi Mo cut back diagonally along the dot path. The opponent continued to move in a straight line, but his next step was right in front of another poison zone.

Dugu Yan didn't need to expand the poisonous fog at all; she simply narrowed the original narrow line inwards a little. The Elephant Armor team members had no choice but to accept it.

He chose to step on the poison, or take just half a step further.

"The right side is slowing down too."

Dong Jian said. Li Man then replied.

Ignore the right side.

Dong Jian looked at her.

"Why?"

The middle section is already open.

Yu Tianheng's side just fought off one person. Huyan Li is recovering. This is the most valuable window right now.

Dong Jian immediately abandoned the information on the right. Mountain Domain could still sense footsteps on the other side, but he stopped paying attention.

Shi Mo will handle it himself. Dugu Yan also knows how to collect poison. Li Man doesn't need him to tell her which bamboo is bright.

The center line is where the axis should be focused. Huyan Li has regained its footing.

"Receive!"

He finally realized the problem. The two sides of the Elephant Armor began to move towards the center. This formation was executed very quickly.

Since the outer route will be slowed down by the poison and the tortoise shell, narrow the formation and bring the people back together.

Li Man didn't stop her. She even proactively removed two outer array points. Dong Jian understood.

"Let them collect it?"

The tighter it is pulled, the more vulnerable it is to collisions from the front and back.

Li Man flicked her finger, and the remaining array points moved closer to the Shi Brothers. For the Elephant Armor to regain synchronization, the ones at the front had to slow down and wait for those behind.

Ke Yu Tianheng wouldn't give in. He kept pressing forward, staring at the team member who had just been pushed back. Huyan Li could only follow up.

With one more touch, he's fast again. The Shi Mo deliberately holds back, while the Shi Mo on the right lags behind by half a beat.

The seven people's steps began to falter slightly. Many people in the stands might not have been able to tell the specific reason.

They only noticed one thing: the Elephant Armor that had been pushing forward in unison were now slowing down. Some had even stopped.

In the Shrek rest area, Tang San stared at the several streaks of jade-green light on the ground for a moment.

She didn't stop her.

Xiao Wu asked, "What?"

"Li Man's bamboo."

Tang San raised his hand to measure the distance between the people on the field.

"Each one is within the range where the Imperial Fighting Team can retreat."

It doesn't matter whether the Elephant Armor steps on it or not.

The Grandmaster followed his gaze.

"What she wants is not control over her body."

Tang San nodded.

"It controls the contact sequence."

On the field, Huyan Li finally understood part of it. He suddenly shouted.

"Don't follow their escape route, follow my lead!"

The Elephant Armor began to forcibly reclaim the center line. The flanks stopped chasing on their own. Everyone followed Huyan Li.

This worked. The gap between the seven players narrowed rapidly. Dong Jian immediately felt the pressure return.

Li Man's off-peak technique wasn't controlled by Soul Skill; as long as the Elephant Armor was willing to sacrifice a little speed, it could indeed regain its footing.

"It's time to go back."

The Shi Mo said.

"Not yet."

Yu Tianheng suddenly stepped forward. He had been waiting for this moment when the Elephant Armor tightened.

The team member who had just been bombarded by him was moving closer to Huyan Li, with his own men occupying the space beside him.

Dong Jian cut forward in one step. In order to keep up with the formation, the opponent landed half a step earlier.

"Left foot."

Dong Jian only reported one point. Yu Tianheng suddenly unleashed a burst of lightning. Dong Jian himself collided with the Elephant Armor member first.

Shoulder to shoulder, waist to waist. This time, not even half a step was required.

He simply shifted the weight of the other person's left foot slightly outward. The person swayed for a moment. Yu Tianheng had already arrived.

Thunder Dragon Body's right fist slammed into the junction of the arm guard and chest armor from the side.

Boom!

The first layer of defense remained intact, but the man took a step back. This retreat finally revealed a real gap in the tightened formation of the Elephant Armor.

Yu Tianheng stepped in. Second punch. Third punch.

Lightning exploded in the gap. Huyan Li turned around abruptly to try and fix it, but the Shi Mo crashed into him from the side, its Black Tortoise blocking half of his body.

The Shi Mo can't stop it for long. Not even a breath. That's enough.

Yu Tianheng broke through the isolated point head-on. The Elephant Armor team member retreated several steps, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth for the first time.

An uproar erupted in the stands. Huyan Li abruptly pushed the Shi Mo aside, not chasing after Yu Tianheng.

He glanced at his injured teammate, then looked at the jade array points at Li Man's feet that weren't actually used to block anyone.

His expression finally turned completely somber.

"Open another layer of defense."

The Soul Ring on several members of the Elephant Armor lit up simultaneously, and a thick, diamond-like luster covered their shoulders and backs.

The breach that had just been created didn't close immediately. But Dong Jian could sense that it would be even harder to break through using the same method in the next round.

Yu Tianheng shook his numb right hand.

"It's open."

Dong Jian stood to his side and behind him.

"Um."

"What's next?"

Li Man looked at Huyan Li Yanli, who had lowered his body again.

"Next."

She moved the two array points back again.

"Don't let this stitch up."
