Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction Novel - Chapter 965

965 Taking a Risky Try
In the Hallucinatory Forest, Huang Yuan was leading his squad in pursuit of Team Origin.

The battle appeared extremely intense, with various powerful skills being unleashed.

However, upon closer observation, it could be noticed that those truly powerful skills didn’t hit their target.

The skills that did hit were mostly average in power, and under the defense and resistance of Team Origin, they were able to withstand them.

After a round of battle, the members of Huang Yuan’s squad didn’t suffer any casualties. The members of the Origin Team didn’t suffer any losses either. At most, they only suffered some light injuries.

!!
Opposite Huang Yuan’s squad was Team Origin’s Fourth Squad, led by He Yang.

He Yang had already detected something unusual. Despite the fierce appearance of the opponent’s attacks and pursuit, they didn’t seem to be aiming for fatal blows.

Combining this observation with Liu Yan’s instructions and the fact that the Team Lighthouse’s squad consisted of people from Blue Planet, He Yang immediately understood the intentions of the opposing side.

Therefore, He Yang ordered his team members to focus primarily on defense, rather than engaging in heavy offensive maneuvers, in order to prolong the battle.

As a result, the pressure on the Fourth Squad significantly diminished.

At this moment, Liu Yan arrived at the scene.

Liu Yan directly unleashed the S-grade skill, Rock Wall.

An abundance of concentrated earth attribute elemental powers materialized into a massive Rock Wall, effectively blocking the path between Team Origin and Huang Yuan’s squad.

He Yang and his team members noticed Liu Yan’s arrival and their faces lit up with joy.

“Great, the captain has arrived.”

“It seems that the captain’s combat mission went smoothly.”

“According to the plan, we can now retreat with the captain’s arrival. Everyone, prepare for a swift retreat.”

“Team Lighthouse is truly formidable. It’s a good thing the opposing squad didn’t go all out. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to withstand them.”

“The captain’s combat mission is accomplished. Our previous efforts have been completely worthwhile.”

Seeing this, He Yang’s face was filled with joy. He then quickly led his team members to retreat.

He Yang was well aware of Liu Yan’s terrifying strength, so even though they were facing a whole squad from the Lighthouse Territory, he had no worries about Liu Yan.

With Liu Yan’s formidable power, even if he was facing a powerful squad from the Lighthouse Territory, his power was more than enough for him to protect himself.

Liu Yan flew directly towards the strongest expert of the squad, a man in his thirties with a slightly muscular build, though not particularly tall. His face exuded a ferociousness that made it clear he was not someone to be taken lightly.

When the surrounding team members saw Liu Yan rushing over, they all panicked.

After all, they had just witnessed Liu Yan’s terrifying power in the previous battle. He was extremely powerful and could kill dozens of them with a single strike.

Now, with Liu Yan’s immense strength charging towards them, and Luo Feng wasn’t even here, how could they not panic?

However, despite their panic, Huang Yuan’s subordinates did not run away in fear. Instead, they attacked Liu Yan together.

At first, Liu Yan didn’t pay much attention to their attacks. After all, these were just ordinary team members and average experts, with the strongest among them having only a 14-star combat strength. Their attacks posed no threat to Liu Yan.

However, Liu Yan immediately narrowed his eyes, sensing something peculiar.

The attacks launched by these team members were remarkably coordinated.

It should be noted that activating each skill required a certain amount of time, and different skills had varying activation times.

However, the team members in front of him were able to activate skills with different activation times at the same time.

The skills that were originally unable to inflict effective damage or hinder Liu Yan were combined, but now they were enough to threaten him.

Liu Yan was taken aback. These people’s coordination seemed surprisingly good. They had such a high level of tacit understanding.

Liu Yan immediately unleashed his S-grade skill, Absolute Unrivaled.

Absolute Unrivaled not only possessed formidable attacking power but also formidable defensive capabilities. After all, it was a skill that encompassed both offense and defense.

Under the effects of Absolute Unrivaled, Liu Yan effortlessly blocked the attacks, and he landed on the ground, directly facing Huang Yuan.

When the experts around Huang Yuan saw this, their faces were filled with shock. They did not expect Liu Yan to be able to block their full-strength attack so easily.

Their strength was quite good, and they had a tacit understanding. Under the siege, even experts who were a star level higher than them could not resist.

They had assumed that Liu Yan’s terrifying strength would be enough to withstand this round of attacks. However, they did not expect Liu Yan to be able to block it so easily.

He seemed to block them with ease, without exerting much effort.

The experts hurriedly prepared to continue their assault on Liu Yan, but Huang Yuan waved his hand to halt them.
“Enough, there’s no need to attack further. If Liu Yan intends to fight, we wouldn’t be his match,” Huang Yuan said calmly.

At the same time, Huang Yuan also sized up Liu Yan, who he had just met, with a hint of curiosity.

Huang Yuan had previously witnessed Liu Yan’s terrifying strength when he attacked, so he naturally understood that his team’s power was insufficient to confront Liu Yan directly.

Moreover, he noticed that Liu Yan’s attacks had a wide range and long reach.

Therefore, if Liu Yan truly intended to attack them, they wouldn’t be able to escape. However, at the same time, Liu Yan did not need to approach them closely to launch an attack. He could simply attack from a distance.

Huang Yuan deduced that Liu Yan’s approach wasn’t intended for actual physical confrontation.

“Liu Yan, I’ve heard great things about you. It’s our first meeting, and your strength is truly impressive. May I ask what brings you here?” Huang Yuan asked with a smile.

Even when facing the powerful Liu Yan, Huang Yuan maintained his composure. His face was filled with respect but not fear.

Although Huang Yuan’s strength was inferior to Liu Yan’s, his extensive experience in countless battles had taught him to recognize his limitations. He lacked the confidence to defeat Liu Yan, given the vast disparity in their strengths. However, Huang Yuan believed that if Liu Yan chose to attack them, they wouldn’t be annihilated. They would have a chance to escape, but the losses would be greater.

Liu Yan sized up Huang Yuan. He didn’t know him at all. It was the first time they met, so he couldn’t be sure if he was trustworthy.

However, Liu Yan knew that time was running out, leaving him no choice but to take a risk.

Fortunately, Liu Yan had a favorable impression of Huang Yuan for several reasons. Firstly, he was also from the Blue Planet. Secondly, in the battle just now, Huang Yuan’s squad had refrained from inflicting fatal blows on Team Origin. This meant that Huang Yuan had a good impression of Team Origin.

As fellow inhabitants of the Blue Planet, there was no need to resort to a fight to the death.

Since Liu Yan had made up his mind to attempt something, he no longer hesitated.
