The sharp light blade, formed by radiant beams, sliced through the centaur's white jade body, producing a harsh grinding sound. Some debris scattered within the light shield, and because it could not disperse, the inside quickly became somewhat misty.
This process was actually very brief, lasting only a breath, which surprised Ye Zhongming at how strong the attack frequency of "light butterfly strangulation" was.
However, the next second, the light shield shattered.
The centaur's spear crashed into the shield, and with a tremendous sound of impact, the monster charged out from within.
Ye Zhongming was already on guard; the Earth Spirit’s jump gravity activated, causing the gravity under the centaur's feet to change immediately.
This time, Ye Zhongming activated his professional skill.
Ten Thousand Layers Seal Blade Slash!
Ten blade shadows merged into one, slashing towards the centaur's body.
Just as it burst out of the light shield's confinement, the gravity of its body had changed, combined with being in the fire sand field, severely restricting the centaur's movement. This slash could not be avoided.
It raised its spear, gripping both ends with its hands, and blocked it in front of itself.
The sand dance collided with the white jade spear.
Ye Zhongming felt his arms go numb and lost control of his body, retreating backward as the sand dance trembled lightly.
The ensuing offensive was also shattered due to this retreat.
Ye Zhongming's strength was originally his advantage, and after consuming the attribute enhancement scroll, his strength reached an unimaginable level. Yet, with such strength, he found himself at a disadvantage during the collision with the centaur.
He had hoped that brute force could overcome skill, but who would have thought they were evenly matched.
Looking up, Ye Zhongming felt a bit more at ease as he keenly noticed that the centaur's white jade hooves were all cracked, with the one he had kicked into being particularly severe, with small chunks already falling off.
The spear was even worse; although it hadn't broken, there was a large gash where it had clashed with the sand dance, with only a thin connection remaining.
It was foreseeable that with just a little force, this spear would shatter.
The centaur seemed very dissatisfied with being at a disadvantage. At this moment, it was no longer as perfect as before; its body was covered in the marks left by the light butterfly. It glanced at the spear, casually threw it to the ground, and then pulled out a long-handled axe from its horse-like side!
Ye Zhongming then realized that the centaur had two weapons hanging on its sides: this long-handled axe and another broad-bladed long knife.
He hadn't noticed before, simply because the white jade monster was the same color all over, and its solid muscular form blocked his view.
Grabbing the long-handled axe, the centaur's momentum suddenly surged. It looked at Ye Zhongming, stomped its front hooves on the ground again, and swung the long-handled axe in a circular motion, charging at Ye Zhongming a second time.
This time, Ye Zhongming's face showed astonishment.
He found that the Earth Spirit's gravity leap ability had lost its effect!
He had no time to think about why this was happening; he swung the sand dance again, releasing a second Ten Thousand Layers Seal Blade Slash aimed at this creature.
This was a confrontation of momentum, and Ye Zhongming chose not to evade.
The centaur swung its long-handled axe rapidly; at a suitable moment, it collided with Ye Zhongming's skill once more.
This time, Ye Zhongming not only retreated but was also sent flying.
After landing, he tasted a faint metallic tang in his mouth; he knew his internal organs had been impacted, suffering a minor internal injury.
After switching weapons, the centaur's strength had clearly increased significantly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As Ye Zhongming quickly stood up, he heard this sound. He looked over and saw that the long-handled axe had fallen not far away, with the axe head and handle already separated. Clearly, the earlier collision had exceeded what this weapon could endure.
