Liam didn't use the fan's ability. The team he was heading for was less than a minute away, and it showed no sign of wanting to resume climbing, so he had no reason to get there in seconds.
Besides, that speed was a true winning play, especially when enemies weren't ready for it, and the body-enhancing pill had added another potential surprise to it.
By the time Liam reached his target, the latter was ready for him. The second team had ten cultivators, but only three were rooting experts. They had erected a compound dome made of ethereal heptagons like the one Liam had seen in the inheritance, and golden bullets were already flying at him, but the scene hardly fazed him.
The bullets were incredibly fast, just as Liam recalled them, but he saw them now. His minor roots had increased by a factor of nine since the last time he faced that attack, and he had far more than raw power at his disposal.
