《Still a Two-in-One~》
Just like how Ye Zhongming killed the ogre, these black shadows were too fast.
At this moment, the prideful observation sacred seat had already activated the bloodline—Demon Torch Person, transforming his body into a form resembling a lava giant, with skin that appeared charred and rocky, the internal bones and organs completely invisible, only red magma could be seen.
The head was no different, with only the eyes being pitch black.
The clothing he wore could not withstand the high temperature, turning to ashes, which explained why the prideful observation sacred seat was only draped in a golden-level black cloak.
The Demon Torch Person bloodline was an explosive type of bloodline. Originally, the prideful observation sacred seat wanted to hold Ye Zhongming back for as long as possible while his subordinates looked for an opportunity to severely injure him.
It seemed this plan had backfired; it should have been the others restraining him while the prideful observation sacred seat attacked.
However, he had no choice but to do this. Just by seeing how decisively Ye Zhongming had killed the level seven ogre clan, he knew that aside from himself, no one could withstand even a single strike from Ye Zhongming.
His plan was good, but these black shadows gave him a wake-up call.
For a moment, the prideful observation sacred seat felt certain he was doomed.
The Demon Torch Person bloodline was indeed very powerful, with fierce explosive power and decent defense, but the prideful observation sacred seat truly didn't believe that Ye Zhongming could do anything against him. If these shadows were their weapons against him and his men, then...
However, whether it was him or his subordinates, after being struck by the shadows, they felt nothing at all, not even pain.
Many looked down at their chests, where a small round ball rested. If it weren't for the strange patterns on it, it seemed no different from a black glass ball.
But when they tried to use their hands or weapons to knock off this ball, Ye Zhongming's attack arrived.
The flashing blade was ghostly and eerie.
The prideful observation sacred seat knew this black ball was definitely not a good thing, but he truly had no time to deal with it, because just with a swing of his weapon, two of his subordinates had been killed. If he didn't intervene, perhaps in just a few seconds, all of his men would be dead.
The zero commerce association trained its sacred seat by providing everything needed, but everything regarding the subordinates was the sacred seat's responsibility. However, what every sacred seat obtained was not the same. Every so often, the top ten sacred seats would conduct a comprehensive strength ranking, with those at the front receiving more resources and those at the back receiving less.
Why was the prideful observation sacred seat able to evolve to eight-star first? It was because he ranked second in the last examination, thus gaining priority for a bottle of eight-star evolution potion.
Currently, the people he brought were all his elite subordinates, with one of the strongest already dead. If these also perished, he estimated he would directly drop to the last three in the next examination.
But the Demon Torch Person bloodline had its drawbacks, specifically affecting his speed. The prideful observation sacred seat was already unable to keep up with Ye Zhongming in this aspect, and now he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of him.
He could only watch as Ye Zhongming avoided engaging him and continued to attack... no, it was slaughtering his subordinates.
The prideful observation sacred seat was furious, shouting as he continuously used ground spike skills to attack Ye Zhongming, but it was ineffective; Ye Zhongming easily dodged.
Additionally, the prideful observation sacred seat could unleash streams of lava from his palms and mouth, but these were abilities meant for close combat, meant to catch opponents off guard. Once used for long-range attacks, the effect was somewhat flimsy.
