Heaven's Blade's members were confused and confused by Cleansing Flame's sudden appearance.
"Why is Cleansing Flame here?" Prison Tiger rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating due to exhaustion.
Their commander had ordered Cleansing Flame to lead her team out of the inner corridor. Although she had found Ling Yi, a Guild that was willing to help her, it had only been a short time since they had arrived here.
Moreover, they couldn't understand how Cleansing Flame had managed to get past the Mechanical Golem army. They had fought their way to this place, suffering heavy casualties along the way. Their Stamina and Concentration had been severely depleted, yet not only had Cleansing Flame not lost a single HP, but her Concentration had also been replenished. It was as if she had just taken a stroll in a garden.
"How did she get in?" Blood Oath narrowed his eyes as he watched Cleansing Flame.
There were plenty of Mechanical Golems in the corridor, including a few Great Lord ranked Mechanical Golems and even a few Grand Lords. Even a Tier 3 team like theirs had shuddered at the sight of these Mechanical Golems. If not for the Tier 3 Invisibility Scroll, they wouldn't have been able to enter the corridor so safely.
Moreover, they had only been able to get in so easily thanks to Heaven's Blade's desperate efforts. Otherwise, they would've had to fight a bitter battle.
Yet, Cleansing Flame, who was only a Tier 2 player, had managed to get in unscathed. It was simply too strange.
While everyone stared at Cleansing Flame, she ignored War Blood and the others and turned to look at her commander, Zwei.
"Commander, reinforcements are here!" Cleansing Flame said excitedly. "We're saved!"
Although Cleansing Flame's voice wasn't loud, everyone could hear her clearly in the spacious altar hall that was as big as a football field.
"Reinforcements are here?"
"Wonderful! We can finally leave this damned place! "
Heaven's Blade's members breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Cleansing Flame say the word "reinforcements". Indescribable joy and excitement filled their hearts.
They had been fighting and dodging enemy reinforcements all this time, and their spirits had been tormented.
Heaven's Blade's main force had been severely injured, and they might even fall out of Dragonheart Island's top ten. Now that reinforcements had arrived, how could they not celebrate?
Even without the Tree of Life's main trunk, Heaven's Blade could rely on the Tree of Life's branches to boost the adventurer team's overall strength.
"Reinforcements?" Blood Oath's expression darkened. "How did Thirteen Thrones get here so quickly?"
He knew very well that Thirteen Thrones wanted to rescue Heaven's Blade, as Thirteen Thrones had already sent someone to contact him, asking him to give up on pursuing Crape Myrtle and the others.
However, with the Tree of Life in front of them, Thirteen Thrones wouldn't declare war on War Blood even if they managed to kidnap Zwei and the others. Not to mention, War Blood and Starlink were allies.
However, if they fought Thirteen Thrones' main force for the Tree of Life, it would be a different story. Doing so would be akin to declaring war on Thirteen Thrones. If that happened, Thirteen Thrones wouldn't let War Blood and Starlink off the hook.
"Commander Blood, are we still going to take action?" Sword Demon asked Blood Oath through a private message.
"This …" Blood Oath hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Now that Thirteen Thrones' main force had arrived, the situation was completely different. However, he couldn't bear to abandon the Tree of Life.
While Blood Oath hesitated, Cleansing Flame's next words changed the atmosphere of the battlefield.
"Commander, President Hei Yan's group of four will be here soon. Once they're here, we'll be able to leave this place safely," Cleansing Flame announced happily as she walked up to Zwei.
Prison Tiger and the others, who had been cheering, fell silent upon hearing Cleansing Flame's announcement, their expressions turning ugly.
What was going on?
Ling Yi was the one who came to rescue them?
However, after giving the matter some thought, they realized that it made sense. Cleansing Flame had indeed contacted Ling Yi and was bringing Ling Yi to rescue them.
However, it was one thing for Ling Yi to come to their rescue, but why were there only four people?
"Cleansing Flame, did you get the number wrong? There should be 40 of them instead of four, right?" Prison Tiger asked, growing anxious.
At this moment, the difference between four people and forty people was completely different.
"That's right. There should be four of them," Cleansing Flame said confidently, shaking her head.
Heaven's Blade's members were speechless when they heard Cleansing Flame's words. They couldn't help but think that Cleansing Flame had a screw loose.
Prison Tiger and the others even wondered if Cleansing Flame had lost her mind. She had clearly said that there were only four people coming to their rescue, yet she spoke as if there was an army of thousands. Moreover, she sounded so certain. How could they accept this?
At a time like this, she still wanted to correct their mistake.
Did she not see the fiery eyes of War Blood and Starlink's experts around them?
"Very good! Very good, all of you! You actually dared to treat us like fools! " Blood Oath's gaze was indescribably cold as he glared at Cleansing Flame. "Do you really think that you can leave this place alive just because Ling Yi is here?"
Everyone on the team had seen his hesitation before this.
He had assumed that Thirteen Thrones' members had come to his rescue, but now, he was being told that it wasn't Thirteen Thrones' members at all. It was only Ling Yi. Not only had Ling Yi come to his rescue, but only four people had come to his rescue.
In everyone's opinion, Blood Oath had actually backed down just because of Ling Yi's group of four. If news of this spread, he would lose a lot of face.
Blood Oath wasn't the only one who was furious. Every War Blood and Starlink expert present was furious, as well. They felt that Cleansing Flame, a Tier 2 player, had made a fool of them.
"Cleansing Flame, you've really screwed us over this time," Prison Tiger said, smiling bitterly as he watched War Blood and Starlink's members brimming with fighting spirit.
Although Cleansing Flame had showcased War Blood's and the others' killing intent and fighting spirit had soared to new heights. Originally, Cleansing Flame had intended to suppress War Blood and Starlink's morale, but now, her actions only served to fuel their morale.
"Don't worry, Big Brother Tiger. We're already safe," Cleansing Flame said, chuckling when she saw Prison Tiger's grumbling expression.
"Safe?" Prison Tiger was at a loss for words when he saw Cleansing Flame's calm demeanor.
War Blood and Starlink had a total of 32 players on their side, and every one of them was a Tier 3 player. Moreover, every one of them radiated killing intent.
"Attack! Kill them all! Don't leave a single one alive! "
Blood Oath's expression darkened further when he saw Cleansing Flame's smile. He immediately commanded his subordinates to attack Heaven's Blade's members.
Rage burned in the eyes of War Blood and Starlink's experts as they surrounded Heaven's Blade's members. They wanted nothing more than to tear Heaven's Blade's members to shreds to vent their anger.
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion echoed throughout the altar hall. In the next moment, a gigantic figure flew out of the inner corridor. This figure was eight meters tall, and its entire body was made of steel. It wielded a steel greatsword. This was none other than the Grand Lord ranked Guardian Soldier, a Mechanical Puppet.
When the Guardian Soldier appeared, it slammed into one of the altar hall's stone pillars, shattering the stone pillars. A deep slash had also appeared on the Guardian Soldier's steel body, nearly cleaving it in half.
Deathly silence fell over the altar.
"A Guardian Soldier?"
"Who the hell did this?"
Everyone knew how powerful the Guardian Soldier was. Even a Tier 3 MT would struggle to tank a Level 107 Grand Lord, yet it had been sent flying with a single slash …
Before anyone could figure out what had happened, another explosion came from the inner corridor. Great Lord ranked Mechanical Puppets then flew out of the inner corridor and landed on the ground one after another. It was as if the dust-covered inner corridor hid some kind of behemoth. Moreover, these Mechanical Puppets were getting closer and closer to the dust-covered inner corridor.
A chill ran down everyone's spines, and they tensed as they looked at the inner corridor.
When the dust settled, four cloaked players emerged from the inner corridor. Leading the group was none other than the Sword King Hei Yan, whom Blood Oath and the others were familiar with.
