Hearing Wang Xiao’s plan, Zhou Xiruo could not help but slow down.

“Hey! What are you doing?!”

Lang Buli shouted coldly and exerted a little force with the dagger on the boy’s neck. “How dare you deliberately delay? Do you not believe that I will kill him?”

Zhou Xiruo came back to her senses and hurriedly explained, “I didn’t deliberately delay! These two parts are too similar. I’m thinking which one to use!”

Afraid that the other party would not believe her, Zhou Xiruo even raised the two parts.

When Lang Buli saw that it was the two parts he could not distinguish, he subconsciously believed her. He waved his dagger and urged, “Then have you thought it through? If you have, hurry up! There’s not much time left!”

“I know, it’ll be done soon!”

Zhou Xiruo agreed and assembled the last two parts. Then, she took out an [Energy Core] and embedded it in the energy tank. Immediately after, the [Artificial Teleportation Gate] was successfully activated!

Looking at the colorful light that lit up, Lang Buli was immediately delighted. He abandoned the injured boy and stood up to grab Zhou Xiruo. However, he did not expect the other party to have expected this and actually turned around and ran to the side!

Seeing Zhou Xiruo run so quickly, Lang Buli immediately revealed a puzzled expression. Could it be that she did not care about the life of her companion?

Before Lang Buli could figure out what was going on, a violent mutated beast aura suddenly surged over. A familiar voice shouted from behind, “[Berserk Thunder]!”

“Wang Xiao!”

Lang Buli’s pupils constricted and he hurriedly turned around. He saw a snow-white slash surrounded by lightning tearing through the air and slashing towards him!

Sensing danger, Lang Buli subconsciously tensed up and wanted to dodge, but he suddenly remembered that the [Artificial Teleportation Portal] was behind him. If he dodged, the hard-built [Artificial Teleportation Portal] would definitely be cut into a pile of scrap metal!

Thinking of this, Lang Buli forcefully stopped dodging. Then, he raised his hand and opened a defensive field to protect him and the teleportation door!

Wang Xiao was waiting for this opportunity.

The defensive force field could protect Lang Buli, but it would also restrict his movements.

The [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] jumped up the cliff. After lifting the injured boy up, it immediately ran in the direction Zhou Xiruo had left.

At the same time, the claw collided with Lang Buli’s defensive field and immediately let out a loud bang!

Lang Buli, who was in the defensive field, was shocked. He did not expect this seemingly simple attack to be stronger than all the fortifications in the base combined. It almost shattered his defensive field on the spot!

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Lang Buli realized that Zhou Xiruo and the injured boy had disappeared. He was slightly stunned before understanding Wang Xiao’s plan. He could not help but smile strangely. “Strong and smart… Looks like Lan Dahai’s information isn’t all exaggerated!”

Lang Buli smiled strangely and muttered softly. Just as he finished speaking, he heard the rustling of snow behind him. He turned around and saw Turk walking out of the teleportation door. “Hello, deputy captain!”

Lang Buli greeted with a smile.

Turk ignored him and only looked around before asking coldly, “Shouldn’t you have activated the teleportation ten minutes ago? Why are you so late?”

Lang Buli shrugged indifferently. “I have no choice. The [Artificial Teleportation Portal] that Lan Dahai bought is too complicated and has to be disassembled into parts to be brought in. How can I assemble it”

“Can’t assemble?”

Turk frowned when he heard this. “Then how did you build the teleportation door in the end?”

“I don’t know how, but someone else does.”

As Lang Buli spoke, he deactivated the defensive force field and raised his chin in a certain direction. “I found someone to help.”

Confused, Turco turned around and his pupils constricted. “Wang Xiao? Did you ask Wang Xiao for help?”

“To be precise, I found his vassal lord.”

Lang Buli corrected him. As he spoke, his neck cracked. “However, since we have to kill him sooner or later, it doesn’t matter if we lure him over now, right?”

“You’re acting on your own!”

Turk glared at Lang Buli, then frowned when he discovered something. “Where’s Lang Lina? Why isn’t he here?”

Lang Buli turned around and looked in the direction of Yuheng’s base. There was a faint envious expression on his face. “He… should be having fun now, right?”

“Having fun?”

Stunned, Turk followed Lang Buli’s line of sight. After discovering the flickering light outside the base, his expression gradually became serious. He almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. “What exactly did the two of you do?”

Lang Buli did not say anything and only smiled with a strange expression.

At the same time, a hundred meters away.

Wang Xiao called the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] to place the injured boy on the ground. After feeding him another recovery potion, he looked at Zhou Xiruo and asked, “Are you injured?”

Zhou Xiruo shook her head and looked at the [Artificial Teleportation Gate] standing 100 meters away. Her beautiful eyes were filled with self-reproach. “It’s all my fault for being useless! If I were stronger, I wouldn’t have been forced by him to build the Teleportation Gate!”

“Don’t say that. You’re also doing this to save his life.”

Wang Xiao patted Zhou Xiruo’s shoulder and took off the [Protection Ring] before handing it over. “Guard him here. When our reinforcements arrive, find someone to treat him.”

Zhou Xiruo’s expression changed when she heard this. “What are you doing?” “I’ll destroy that teleportation door!”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he jumped onto the back of the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] and ran to the battlefield before Zhou Xiruo could stop him!

The distance of a hundred meters was instantly covered. Wang Xiao’s expression turned cold as he shouted sternly, “Berserk Thunder!”

“0w!”

The [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] roared and waved its claw, causing a slash surrounded by lightning to tear through the air!

However, just as the claw was about to hit the [Artificial Teleportation Gate], a phantom suddenly quickly condensed between the two. Immediately after, there was an ear-piercing clang of a sharp blade being unsheathed. The claw was actually split into two from the middle by a bright arc of light!

“What’s going on?!”

Wang Xiao immediately exclaimed. Even though he was knowledgeable, he could not help but doubt his eyes.

It had to be known that this claw attack was completely condensed from energy. Although it could split mountains and shatter rocks, it was almost equivalent to being ethereal.

The current situation was like a surging river being cut open by a saber. How could Wang Xiao not be shocked?

Shocked, Wang Xiao hurriedly ordered the Ice Thunder Horn Wolf to stop attacking. At the same time, the phantom had already completely condensed. It actually looked like a swordsman wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat.

“It’s the lord of the Purple Star?”

Wang Xiao guessed in his heart, but he immediately realized that something was wrong because the swordsman did not walk out of the teleportation door. Instead, he was condensed from a ball of phantoms.

There was only one possibility for this to happen—this swordsman in front of him was actually a soldier of a Purple Star lord!
