With a few clangs, the dual guns in Ye Zhongming's hands collided with the戒尺 in the director's hands and the Grand President's lever weapon a few times.
Each side took a step back.
Ye Zhongming held an absolute advantage in power, but since the weapons in his hands weren't close-range weapons, he had many concerns, resulting in a stalemate with the two.
The director and the Grand President were increasingly serious in their hearts. How could a Ye Zhongming in such a state still maintain such strength?
The two of them coordinated their attacks, determined to give Ye Zhongming no chance.
Ye Zhongming fired his gun.
The director and the Grand President instinctively dodged. However, they quickly realized that this shot had missed.
They relaxed significantly, but soon tensed their bodies again as Ye Zhongming's gun was aimed at them. The two quickly evaded, moving out of position before the gun fired.
At the same time, their weapons struck toward Ye Zhongming.
The Grand President's lever weapon emitted a sharp whirlwind previously, and although it wasn't unleashing abilities at this moment, it whistled with a strange sound. With each swing, tiny black particles appeared. If Ye Zhongming came into contact with them, his body would feel heavier.
The戒尺 in the director's hands also showcased its abilities at this time. During the attack, it continuously emitted strange sacred sounds, which affected Ye Zhongming, constantly stimulating his hearing and impacting his movements.
Both sides fought rapidly and cautiously, each searching for an opportunity to hit or even kill the other within the confined space.
"Wait, your gun!"
The Grand President suddenly shouted, retreating backward. The director, not understanding the situation, followed suit.
But Ye Zhongming merely grinned, "Too late."
As he spoke, one gun pointed to the sky and the other to the ground, each firing a shot.
After the two shots, violent fluctuations and distortions appeared in the surrounding space, and all three of them were engulfed within it.
"Your gun, how did it downgrade to gold?!"
The Grand President exclaimed in shock. When he had scanned this weapon with special abilities earlier, he had noted it was at a purple level.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen extraordinary phenomena; he simply had never seen a weapon downgrade without any damage!
Especially not this kind of equipment that turned from one to two and downgraded.
"What is happening?!"
The director of the divine hall continued attacking without being deterred by the sudden turn of events, swinging the戒尺 toward Ye Zhongming, creating a phantom shadow of a person reading a book above it as it descended upon the King of Cloud Summit.
However, the戒尺's skill hadn't even approached Ye Zhongming when it suddenly halted mid-air, swaying left and right, its form unstable, and soon, it was fixed in place, unable to move.
Seeing this bizarre scene, the director finally uttered the three words above.
The Grand President also noticed something was off; he realized his body was trapped in a small space, unable to move freely like before. His weapon strikes faced immense limitations; advancing or retreating was impossible.
This was precisely the third ability of the Reaper Mimetic Shooter's rapid-fire form: 'Extreme Lockdown.'
Once used, it could confine the user's and target's activity range to a small area. Until the skill ended or was breached, no one could escape, and no life or energy from outside could enter.
To execute this ability, it required 'setting the gun,' which meant using the skill at critical nodes in advance to allow the Reaper Mimetic Shooter to shoot first.
Ye Zhongming's earlier gunshots were not aimed at killing the two big shots, but rather to set the gun and create conditions for the extreme lockdown.
This ability did not have direct attack power, but it was the most unique capability of this purple weapon.
In this space, the movement area of each target was extremely limited; this was 'Extreme Lockdown.'
It seemed simple and seemingly useless.
