Aside from the one minute of attack from Sword Shadow, the battle was actually unfolding very quickly at other times. Damov’s metallic transformation and the attacks from the Ming City Guardians occurred in the blink of an eye.
For these evolvers who had already become superhumans, whether victory or defeat in battle was often decided in an instant.
Damov leaped high into the air, his massive bear paw sweeping toward the Sword Immortal Six in the sword formation. At the same time, the huge snakes attacking under the skill of the four species snakes descended, weaving together wind, fire, ice, and electricity into a deathly prelude around Damov's body.
There were also the attacks from the Sword Immortal Six themselves; the black and white powers represented the fundamental and most powerful two origins of the world, drawn from the bagua formation.
It hadn’t been mentioned before, but these six long swords were all blue equipment, extremely refined in quality.
These attacks almost all landed on the man-bear simultaneously.
In that moment, no one dared to breathe.
Silent, yet it felt as if thunder had exploded.
The colors representing various energy systems rampaged across Damov’s body, causing the surface of his skin to burst open with countless gaping wounds, flesh splattering and blood flying everywhere.
In some areas, the stark white bones were even visible!
The six swords pierced into Damov’s shoulder, chest, and even his cheek. One of the closest to the man-bear, one of the six, had its sword fully buried in his body, the sharp tip protruding from his back.
Under normal circumstances, many would think the battle was over at this sight; at some moment, those before the light barrier would think so too.
But the Sword Immortal Six did not share this belief, for they saw Damov’s eyes not only retain their color but also become even more frenzied and bloodthirsty!
With a swing of his two front paws, eight claw shadows crossed over the formation disk, signaling a temporary pause in the attacks from both sides.
A brief silence fell, both within the space and before the light barrier, only to be shattered by Che Dongzhi’s anguished shout of “No!”
Damov landed heavily on the ground with a loud thud.
The Sword Immortal Six also fell heavily, their bodies broken into several pieces, their energy snakes completely vanquished, crushed by claw marks.
Che Dongzhi’s eyes turned blood-red as he saw his painstakingly nurtured Sword Immortal Six being slaughtered just like that.
The bagua formation disk was a one-time use item, purple in grade! This was something Che Dongzhi had never mentioned to anyone else.
Equipment of the same color had greater power when it was a one-time use; this was a rule and a consensus.
One can only imagine how precious this formation disk was.
However, it vanished along with the deaths of the six.
It could be said that Che Dongzhi lost his most powerful means of attack, losing his most reliable right-hand men.
Without the help of the Sword Immortal Six, Che Dongzhi's netherworld golden python was actually a supportive battle beast, and its effectiveness would be greatly reduced. In the past, killing eighth-level life was not a particularly difficult task for the Ming City Guardians as long as they chose the right target, but now, this would become an extremely dangerous operation.
At a moment when Che Dongzhi urgently needed grade 8 magic crystals, it almost meant that his ascension to eight-star evolver would be indefinitely delayed.
Perhaps it also meant that both the Ming City Guardians and Che Dongzhi himself would disappear from the national leaderboard.
This once-renowned evolver took out dozens of glazed-looking items from his spatial storage and scattered them around him. Each one that landed transformed into a glazed vortex. While they didn’t completely surround Che Dongzhi and the netherworld golden python, anyone wanting to approach them would have to either charge through these unknown-glazed whirlpools or take a longer route.
