Even if it was just based on feeling, when Ye Zhongming drew his knife, it still gave people a sense of overwhelming shock, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them.
This was not only due to his strength but also the level of his equipment and a powerful confidence when faced with encirclement.
Cheng Ou called out, extending his hands toward Ye Zhongming. In his palms were engraved two green leaves.
These were not tattoos, as no tattoo could be so vividly lifelike.
The two leaves flew out of his hands, bursting forth with dazzling light, transforming into real two-meter-long leaves that appeared between the two sides, tightly lined up to shield Cheng Ou behind them.
Ye Zhongming's blade collided with them, making a ripping sound.
Cracks appeared on the leaves, yet they still blocked Ye Zhongming's attack.
"Come on!" Cheng Ou shouted, pressing his hands against the backs of the leaves, and the cracks immediately returned to their original state.
"Cheng Ou is the best defender. Even if you're the King of Cloud Summit, even if your eyes aren't blind, you still can't break through his defense," A Xiu said, her face reflecting a glimmer of light. It was clear to an observant person that she harbored some feelings for the man.
"Doesn't Cloud Summit also have a shengyuan-type evolver as a defense? Why don't you try and see who's stronger?"
Seeing that Ye Zhongming had not breached Cheng Ou's defense, A Xiu sarcastically remarked.
The current situation seemed very clear to her: she and Vice President Yang were in the back, Cheng Ou was leading two mutated life forms in front, and Sister Bo had already caught up. With so many experts facing a blind Ye Zhongming, killing him was just a matter of time.
A Xiu did not underestimate him; she acknowledged the strength of the King of Cloud Summit and was certain he was much stronger than anyone present. However, she did not believe that Ye Zhongming could escape from his predicament now.
Ye Zhongming raised his war knife for the second time, and this time, he used his professional skill.
The Ten Thousand Layers Seal Blade Slash, although it could not be used continuously, had a short cooldown.
"Good come!" Cheng Ou trembled with excitement; he had long wanted to face the King of Cloud Summit, known for his incredible attack power.
A necklace shaped like a droplet flew out from his neck, landing between the two leaves and starting to spin. With each rotation, it released a raindrop, quickly forming a curtain of rain that spread around Cheng Ou and the leaf shield.
At that moment, the blade light also came crashing down.
"Leaf Comforted by Ten Thousand Waters!"
Cheng Ou unleashed his powerful ability in conjunction with his equipment.
Ye Zhongming's blade light collided with Cheng Ou's Leaf Comforted by Ten Thousand Waters.
A Xiu, Vice President Yang, and Sister Bo, who had just arrived, were all pushed back by the immense energy of the collision. The gust of wind whipped against their faces, leaving a stinging sensation. It was evident how powerful the burst of energy had been.
"Go!"
Sister Bo, tough and resilient, found the shockwave uncomfortable but didn’t care too much; she just slightly shielded her face and looked forward. Upon seeing Ye Zhongming flying in the air, with his bloodline in disarray and no lightning sand monster protecting him, some blood oozing from his mouth and leaving a trail of blood in the air, she realized it was a great opportunity to kill him.
As Sister Bo spoke, A Xiu quickly reacted.
Leaf Comforted by Ten Thousand Waters, as a defensive ability, was described in its skill description as complete defense, providing significant protection against all types of attacks.
This defense had a rebound effect against the energy in skills. If it could be broken, that would be one thing; if not, it would inflict a hundred percent rebound damage.
It was clear that Ye Zhongming's strike had not broken through Leaf Comforted by Ten Thousand Waters, so he would naturally suffer the same level of rebound damage from his own skill.
