But after their brief exchange, that notion was shattered entirely.
Although their attacks had landed on Ye Zhongming, his glove blocked one and the other by his armor. It might seem simple, but there was a lot of nuance to it.
Heaven Jia had just activated a skill on his weapon called "Flash." While it wasn’t a rare ability, it could catch people off guard, affecting their vision and even causing temporary blindness.
Ye Zhongming had clearly been affected, but instead of panicking, he didn’t even flinch. With a hand raise, he blocked Heaven Zi’s attack while his blade accurately intercepted the arm blade.
It was as if his vision hadn’t been affected—everything was done effortlessly.
Not only that but when the other two weapons struck him, Ye Zhongming’s body twisted slightly, causing the assassins’ attacks to land on the most heavily armored parts of his chest.
Keep in mind that the two assassins had attacked from different directions. This ant Ye Zhongming had almost instantly completed a significant twist on both sides!
What kind of speed and body coordination would it take to pull that off?!
Moreover, even if Ye Zhongming’s equipnt was top-notch, both assassins had used skills—one was the burst power from Heaven Jia’s bloodline, and the other was Heaven Zi’s job skill, "Side Spin Kill," which not only had a tricky angle but also packed a powerful punch.
Yet, they hadn’t even broken through his defense? Heaven Zi and Heaven Jia were completely baffled.
In his normal state, Ye Zhongming naturally wouldn’t have been able to face two eight-star evolved so easily. But now, with the 25% boost from Starry Sky Vision, he could handle it effortlessly. Additionally, the Black Earth Armor didn’t show any visual effects even when damaged, so Heaven Zi and Heaven Jia thought their attacks had no effect.
The Earth Spirit refreshed the Black Earth Armor, and Ye Zhongming began his counterattack.
A bright area appeared amidst the star sand. From a distance, it looked like a spotlight on a dark stage.
Moonlight Field!
One of the skills of the Undead Sand Moon Blade.
As soon as it appeared, this bright area enveloped the two eight-star evolved. Both cried out and quickly retreated.
Because within this bright area, several vengeful spirits had appeared and attached themselves to their bodies!
During the apocalypse, the two didn’t believe in ghosts. Even if they existed, they were man-made, just like what was happening now.
But what terrified them was the effect of the vengeful spirits.
The mont they were possessed, they felt their bodies grow heavy and their heads dizzy. They felt sharp pain in the exposed parts of their bodies, such as their heads and arms. Glancing down, they saw small black spots appearing on their skin, which was the source of the pain.
This was a corrosive ability.
"Heh, showing off equipnt? I can do that too," Ye Zhongming said as a soft purple light emanated from the Undead Sand Moon Blade.
When it ca to equipnt, Ye Zhongming wasn’t afraid of anyone.
Now that things had started, Ye Zhongming had no intention of stopping. After activating Moonlight Field, his body flickered, and he turned into a whirlwind of blade light, sweeping toward the two opponents whose speed had been affected.
"Earth Zi!"
Heaven Zi roared, and a light fell upon him and Heaven Jia.
"Blessing of the Mountains."
A skill that removed negative status effects and also increased ntal strength while reducing cooldown tis.
"Forest Walker?!"
Ye Zhongming recognized the job as soon as he saw the skill, which left an inverted question mark-like symbol after being cast.
The Forest Walker was a healing job, particularly skilled at treating injuries and ailnts caused by negative energy. Because it was associated with the wood elent, it not only had effects on mutated plants but also, at its highest level, could create wooden organs to replace missing body parts of evolved.
Of course, this ability had extrely high requirents, consuming massive ntal strength and having an excruciatingly long cooldown.
When Yellow Ball was talized, Ye Zhongming considered looking for soone with this job to help, but he couldn’t find any information about it.
Under the effects of the Blessing of the Mountains, the two assassins recovered from their negative statuses and began to engage Ye Zhongming in close combat.
Neither side could continuously use skills, as they all had cooldowns. The battle grew faster and more intense during the gaps between skills, with all parties engaging in close-quarters combat.
Heaven Jia and Heaven Zi aid for Ye Zhongming’s vital points—his head and neck. Only by targeting these areas could they truly threaten the King of Cloud Peak, as they couldn’t break through the defenses elsewhere. If these areas weren’t accessible, they targeted joints to disable his movents.
Ye Zhongming, fighting one against two, didn’t fall behind at all. He dodged their attacks while simultaneously dealing damage to his opponents.
"Light of Blessing!"
"Spring of the Saints!"
Standing behind them, Earth Zi continuously cast supportive skills on his two companions. There was no other choice—they had discovered that even the slightest scratch from Ye Zhongming’s blade would imdiately inflict multiple negative statuses. This forced Earth Zi to remain highly focused, constantly applying new skills as soon as the previous ones wore off.
Each skill had its own cooldown, so he had to keep switching abilities. Fortunately, all his skills removed negative statuses, which prevented Heaven Zi and Heaven Jia from being stunned or otherwise incapacitated and instantly killed.
However, using Light of Blessing and Spring of the Saints at this mont was a bit of a waste. These powerful skills could pull evolved back from the brink of death.
Although they were wasting good skills, Heaven Zi and Heaven Jia effectively held Ye Zhongming at bay, which gave them the confidence to keep fighting.
"The distance is about right."
At this mont, Ye Zhongming, still engaged in combat with them, suddenly said sothing that made the two instinctively feel sothing was wrong. Their bodies subconsciously moved away.
"Thanks."
The King of Cloud Peak chuckled, and his body suddenly vanished from where he stood.
Heaven Zi and Heaven Jia were stunned montarily, then suddenly realized what was happening and shouted in unison.
"Earth Zi, watch out below!"
