The knife in his hand broke, leaving a huge wound from his left shoulder to his chest. One of the Demon Twins staggered back, letting out pained cries.
In his hands, A Di's body, which still had a breath of life, was now in two pieces, having lost all vital signs.
Since the Demon Twins had taken on this special profession, perhaps there were those they could not handle, but no one had been able to kill them.
He could understand why Ye Zhongming didn’t dodge; in order to kill them, the King of Cloud Summit was willing to risk everything. What he couldn’t understand was why, after being attacked by the heavenly language demon vine, Ye Zhongming seemed completely unharmed and was still able to launch such a lethal attack.
After Ye Zhongming leaped and struck downwards, he fell back to the ground, and the violent impact caused blood to flow from his mouth again.
The Staff of Nature provided some protection, but the heavenly language demon vine was ultimately a top-tier battle pet. Its attack was merely weakened, not fully blocked.
Ye Zhongming relied on his own defensive power to withstand the blow.
The results proved he succeeded, killing one of the Demon Twins, but the impact on his body was severe. The injuries that had just begun to recover worsened again.
Ye Zhongming was very clear in his heart that although his recovery ability was monstrous, he was not invincible. The accumulation of injuries would greatly reduce the effectiveness of various potions, and the alternating new and old wounds would inevitably affect his combat power.
But at that moment, Ye Zhongming could not relax. He endured the pain, leaping off the ground and instantly covering several meters, his weapon slicing upwards towards the surviving Demon Twin.
Since he had killed, he would kill them completely!
Even if he ultimately could not successfully reach the plains, even if he had to release those monsters here, killing a few eight-star evolvers could still cause the zero commerce association's divine hall and pavilion of quality to lose some high-end combat power, directly impacting the final outcome.
The blade light almost touched the Demon Twin, who no longer had a weapon to defend and bore a massive wound, but suddenly a red shadow appeared beside him. With a clang, it struck Ye Zhongming's weapon, causing the blade to deviate from its original trajectory and slash beside the Demon Twin.
There, a three-meter deep crack appeared.
Ye Zhongming was also pushed aside by this force, losing the angle to attack the Demon Twin again.
He leaped up, and a gust of wind rushed towards him. Ye Zhongming had no time to evade, and with his weapons, he cut sideways to block the source of the wind.
However, the sensation that returned from the weapons was quite strange. Once Ye Zhongming stabilized his body, he caught a glimpse of a flash of red out of the corner of his eye.
Silk? Satin? Brocade?
"A Xiu!"
Sister Bo shouted from over there, clearly recognizing this sudden evolver, and it seemed they had a good relationship.
The person who suddenly appeared on the battlefield was A Xiu from the divine hall; she was an agile-type evolver, with speed as her specialty. It took her just over a minute to rush from where she had been to the battlefield, but everything she saw was wildly different from what the Rose had reported to the sacred seat just now.
Bai Yin had died, one of the Demon Twins had died, and Sister Bo was injured...
Was this King of Cloud Summit really that powerful?
A Xiu was surprised, but compared to the overconfident and stubborn experts, her greatest strength was her caution and carefulness, preferring to believe in the worst.
After saving the Demon Twin, she activated her profession—the flying sleeve hermit. At the same time, she used her professional skill, ‘Long Sleeves Dance Well,’ to attack Ye Zhongming.
The attack power of this ability wasn’t particularly strong, but it was very difficult to fully defend against because A Xiu's weapons were two red sleeves, alternating between soft and hard, making them hard to grasp.
