The Snow Wolf King and the Man-Bear King both took a step back simultaneously.
They felt an inexplicable threat, as if something could pull them into an unknown dangerous realm.
The card used by Ye Zhongming was a functional card: the Demon Horn Technique.
Though it was named "Demon Horn," it had nothing to do with sprouting horns; it was a one-time temporary upgrade card for dark element bloodlines.
In other words, after using it, any dark element bloodline could be upgraded to the highest level with this card, which is the super level.
Ye Zhongming's bloodline was currently advanced, and to upgrade to super, he needed a Bloodline Upgrade Crystal. This was a considerable challenge, hard to find.
After gaining a powerful force, Ye Zhongming not only armed his subordinates to the teeth but also acquired many good items within his own space.
Especially recently, after facing a ninth-level lifeform directly in Black Dragon City, the King of Cloud Summit began preparing to kill a ninth-level lifeform.
This wasn't a collective kill but a single kill.
At present, Ye Zhongming's chances of single-handedly killing a ninth-level lifeform were extremely slim; perhaps he might encounter those who had just evolved to the ninth level, who were average in strength and were of a type that Ye Zhongming could counter, but aside from that, it would be remarkable if the King of Cloud Summit could escape.
Even so, Ye Zhongming was preparing with single kills as a standard so that when he genuinely encountered a ninth-level lifeform, he could better fight with the cooperation of his subordinates.
This Demon Horn Technique functional card was one of them.
Ye Zhongming's body expanded, enveloped in dark element energy, and his eyes turned jet black, as if he had merged with the darkness.
Behind him, a huge black hole appeared, where red lightning flickered, and the shadow of a monster began to walk out, becoming increasingly clear as it approached.
When it finally appeared, those from Cloud Summit realized it was the lightning sand monster, but compared to its previous form, this sand monster had undergone a tremendous transformation.
It stood over five meters tall, and its body was almost devoid of sand; only when it moved did quicksand whirlpools appear beneath its feet, revealing its true nature.
Its entire body was clad in a blend of red and purple metallic armor, with exquisite patterns that would make any craftsman envious.
Electric currents flowed from its head down to its feet, ultimately merging into the quicksand whirlpool beneath it.
On its head was a helmet of the same color and style, with two horns extending outward, dazzling lightning swirling between their tips.
Its hands were enormous, solid as a rock when closed, and incredibly sharp when opened.
This seemed to be no longer the previous lightning sand monster but the lightning sand king.
With the hell messenger temporarily boosted to the highest level thanks to the functional card, the lightning sand monster received a power upgrade as well.
That wasn't all; almost at the moment Ye Zhongming activated his bloodline, fine sand began falling from the sky, mixing with snowflakes, creating a spectacular scene.
Fighting on the sand was beneficial for both Ye Zhongming and the lightning sand monster.
"You all deal with that white bear; just hold it back. This stupid wolf is mine and Red Hair's to handle."
Ye Zhongming's voice was cold and deep. As he spoke, he moved toward the direction of the Snow Wolf King.
Suddenly, the falling snow stopped, and Starlight Vision activated.
The others in Cloud Summit, hearing this, didn’t even think about how their boss was doing; they all focused their attention on the man-bear king, which was like a small mountain.
"Damn it, today I'm going to slaughter a ninth-level lifeform!"
Yangos had remained silent earlier because he was assessing the situation, but now it was clear: Ye Zhongming and Red Hair were challenging the Snow Wolf King, while the other lifeforms—the Evil Dragon, earth yellow pill, two ice birds, and the undead fish dragon—along with Xia Bai and the red dress guard, were all dealing with the Man-Bear King.
