Ye Zhongming made his move much earlier than Helsky had anticipated.
He had thought that guy would probably wait until the mont when victory or defeat was about to be decided before acting.
However, this was beneficial for him.
If he could avoid fighting desperately, Helsky didn't want to fight desperately either. Having more survivors in his team would also serve as bargaining capital with Ye Zhongming later.
The situation of nine versus five, after Ye Zhongming's trio joined, beca nine versus eight—oh no, nine versus nine. Disregarding Qiuqiu would result in being ramd.
Ye Zhongming adopted a completely different fighting style from Helsky. After all, he didn't really care whether the team mbers lived or died.
Plus, since he was already red-nad, he didn't mind killing people.
Jie Kui and Shi Kangbu also didn't care.
They indeed were not red-nad yet, but since they had been with Ye Zhongming all along, whether they were red-nad or not seed to make no difference.
At the sa ti, the two fought in the sa way as Ye Zhongming, employing sneak attacks and specifically targeting soft targets.
Ye Zhongming's chosen target was an Evil Armor Star Person who had been injured by He's holy sigil attack. Due to the natural enemy relationship and the fact that the hit was on the side of its head, it hadn't been able to stand up for a while. Nearby, a companion responsible for support was guarding it.
But Ye Zhongming was not the first to strike; he was the last.
Jie Kui's target was also an injured Evil Armor Star Person. Due to their nurical advantage, the Evil Armor Star People had begun to surround and attack Helsky's group. Jie Kui had a good angle for a sneak attack from behind. He was not a half-hearted raider like Ye Zhongming but a genuine assassin.
Startling Heart.
He dashed forward, brandishing his twin daggers, crossing a not-insignificant distance from the darkness. The fierce cold light successfully stabbed into the neck of that injured Evil Armor Star Person.
Strictly speaking, choosing this location was a very risky decision. Due to the dagger's length, accurately striking here required Jie Kui to be extrely close to the target.
That ant he essentially had to penetrate deep into enemy lines.
Startling Heart did have a brief stun period.
But for so reason, Jie Kui just felt that his role, or Shi Kangbu's role, was actually just to tear open a gap. Ye Zhongming would handle the rest.
The feedback from the dagger told Jie Kui that he had succeeded.
Shi Kangbu's chosen target was more special: it was that Evil Armor Star Person who had burrowed into the sandy beach. That guy had already erged once before, successfully severely injuring a mber of Helsky's team, and then burrowed back underground.
Even though the opponents knew he might erge at any ti, there was nothing they could do—the pressure on the surface was too great.
Shi Kangbu's fighting style was equally bizarre and stealthy. Unlike Jie Kui, who burst from the sand to deliver a fatal blow, he directly sank his body into the sand, disappearing underground like that Evil Armor Star Person. When he reappeared, he was accompanied by his opponent. The two shot into the air, and after landing together, Shi Kangbu flew backward as if afraid of being pursued. But his opponent struggled twice before collapsing limply, motionless.
It was at this mont that Ye Zhongming made his move.
He was closely following Jie Kui—not in a way that let others take the lead while he reaped the benefits, but as a form of cover.
Even for a nine-star evolved individual, without equipnt ability bonuses, facing Jie Kui's fierce attack would instinctively require a full-force response. And behind Jie Kui, for an extrely brief mont, there would be a blind spot.
But this ti was enough. Ye Zhongming charged forward rapidly, activating teleportation and Twin Poison Shadows just as Jie Kui executed his skill.
A large black shadow descended from the sky, landing right in the center of the battlefield, then exploded. An intense ntal shock instantly swept across the entire area.
Simultaneously, Ye Zhongming thrust his weapon toward his target.
Blood almost simultaneously sprayed into the sky.
From Jie Kui striking first, to Shi Kangbu following up, to Ye Zhongming entering the fray, in an instant, the Star-Eye Clan trio had completed a successful sneak attack, all achieving their goals. The strength comparison between the two sides shifted from nine versus nine to six versus nine.
Also, don't forget Qiuqiu.
The mont the sudden ntal blast struck everyone, Qiuqiu entered the fray from a distance. Using a reef on one side as a base, it catapulted over, humming and ramming powerfully and accurately into the body of the Evil Armor Star captain.
Choosing him, Qiuqiu simply thought his large size made him a clear and satisfying target to ram.
The Evil Armor Star captain, who had regained clarity from the ntal shock in an instant, was knocked to the ground by Qiuqiu's headbutt.
Ye Zhongming seized the opportunity and went up for a slash.
But by then, the other Evil Armor Star People had already regained their senses. One of them shouted sothing, and the one closest to Ye Zhongming directly charged over, using his body to block in front of the captain. Two others pulled the captain up and retreated backward.
Ye Zhongming's weapon cut into this Evil Armor Star Person's body, but the evil armor was too thick. He didn't manage to instantly kill this fully armored life form, only deeply embedding the weapon into its body. A large amount of blood flowed from the wound.
This was still because Ye Zhongming's strength was simply too great. For others, even breaking the armor might be sowhat difficult.
Opportunities are always fleeting. Ye Zhongming knew he had lost the best chance to kill the Evil Armor Star captain.
A beam of light shot from behind, striking the head of this Evil Armor Star Person injured by Ye Zhongming. Without even a scream, the most vulnerable spot hit by a natural enemy's attack—where else would life remain?
"Retreat!"
After launching this attack, He imdiately shouted. Without a second thought, Ye Zhongming pulled Jie Kui and retreated backward.
No one understood each other better than sworn enemies. Since He said to retreat in such an advantageous situation, sothing must have happened.
Sure enough, the retreating Evil Armor Star People uniformly raised their upper limbs. From sowhere, a patch of black light flew out, landing where Ye Zhongming and the others had just been standing.
It was fast, and upon contact with the sand, it emitted sizzling sounds and a strong stench—clearly a very vicious ability. Two mbers of Helsky's team, caught off guard, scread after being hit on their bodies. They had already been injured in the previous fight, leaving them with little hope. Although they wouldn't die imdiately, with more than a day left until the next break period, they certainly wouldn't last until returning to camp for treatnt.
The Evil Armor Star People used this ti to retreat quickly, disappearing into the darkness. Ye Zhongming and the others didn't dare pursue, or they would beco the ones ambushed.
" Evil Poison. I could originally treat it, but I have no dicine left." He told everyone what this was.
Ye Zhongming quickly walked over, raised his knife, and killed these two newcors.
"What are you doing!"
Besides Ye Zhongming's trio, Qiuqiu, and He, Helsky's team originally had four mbers left; now there were only two. The one speaking was another life form besides Helsky.
"Can't let the points go to waste."
Ye Zhongming replied faintly.
