As those words echoed through the canyon, the entire area fell silent. No one had expected that someone would actually dare to talk back to the Warblood Adventure Team. Instantly, everyone turned toward the source of the voice.
There, at the canyon entrance, four figures had appeared—three men and one woman, all clad in black cloaks. No data could be seen on any of them, and at their head was a young man who appeared to be nearly thirty. He strolled out of the canyon tunnel with a leisurely, unhurried air, seemingly oblivious to the atmosphere so tense it could freeze solid.
"Zero Wing?"
"Only four people? Is this guy trying to get himself killed?"
"These Zero Wing people have completely lost it. If you want to oppose the Warblood Adventure Team, at least pick your battles. Before, Zero Wing had the Northern Fortress to rely on, so Warblood couldn't do anything about them in the north. But this is the south—the majority of Warblood's members are stationed right here."
……
The members of various major factions gathered around the entrance, watching the spectacle, all staring at the four Zero Wing members emerging from the tunnel as if they were looking at complete idiots.
If this had happened in the northern part of the Earth Heart Mountain Range, and Zero Wing had said something like this, Warblood might have shown a sliver of hesitation.
But here in the Molten Fire Grand Canyon, forget about Zero Wing—even the superpowers had to think twice before making a move. After all, the Warblood Adventure Team was currently the number one adventuring team on Dragon Heart Island.
And if anyone wanted to interfere in the conflict between Warblood and Blade of the Firmament, they at least needed to take a look at the numbers.
Before them stood five or six hundred members of the Warblood Adventure Team, every single one a Level 100 expert. Zero Wing, on the other hand, had only four people. And yet they still had the audacity to claim they would handle this matter. It was enough to make everyone laugh.
At that moment, not only were the onlookers from the various factions amused, but even several members of Blade of the Firmament were left speechless, feeling that Zero Wing had bitten off far more than they could chew.
They were grateful that Zero Wing had spoken up on their behalf, but one also needed to know one's limits.
"You Zero Wing dogs—the audacity to challenge Captain Can Guang Ru Xue to his face! Looks like you've got a death wish!" a Level 102 Tier 2 Ranger from the Warblood Adventure Team sneered, eyeing Shi Feng and the others.
The team leader had long since given the order regarding Zero Wing's members: kill on sight.
However, Zero Wing possessed the Northern Fortress and could use Return Scrolls in the Earth Heart Mountain Range to teleport directly back, which had made it incredibly difficult for Warblood to hunt them down in the open world.
But now the entire Molten Fire Grand Canyon had been sealed—no messages could be sent out, and Return Scrolls were completely unusable. Killing Zero Wing's people would be far easier now.
"Can Guang Ru Xue! Your only goal here is to deal with Blade of the Firmament—there's no need to drag outsiders into this! If you've got the guts, then fight me with everything you have! I want to see just how much your strength has grown since you advanced to War King!" Level 102 female Guardian Knight Fan Mu Ran shouted toward Can Guang Ru Xue, who stood at the head of the Warblood Adventure Team.
She understood perfectly well that there was no escape for them now.
Setting aside the overwhelming disparity in numbers, Captain Can Guang Ru Xue of the Warblood Adventure Team alone could take them all down.
She had witnessed the power of Tier 3 Classes firsthand—they were simply opponents that Tier 2 Classes had no way of fighting.
Trapped like this, with no way out, they could only wait for death.
