At the level of Peijia, he had already gone through countless battles. After being attacked, he dodged, sidestepped, and struck back in one smooth motion. His massive palm transformed into a palm blade, slicing towards Red Hair's hand that was gripping the long spear.
This reaction and response were enough to prove that Peijia had evolved to this point entirely on his own. Even when faced with Red Hair's sudden attack, he could still defend while counterattacking.
Red Hair loosened her grip on the spear, evading Peijia's attack. She then pushed against the tail of the spear, causing the spearhead to swiftly dart towards Peijia's head.
Peijia pushed off the ground with all his might, his already tilted body bouncing backward with incredible agility. The spear tip grazed past his chest but did not hit him.
At the same time, a glow ignited from his hands, revealing that he was clearly about to use a skill.
Red Hair regripped the long spear. Unbeknownst to her, her previously unnoticeably lengthened hair spread around her, suddenly striking out at this moment.
Peijia finally changed color, his hands too busy to muster full strength, as he could only strike out in front of himself.
Though rushed, this skill still showcased Peijia's outstanding combat power. His left hand slapped in front of him, creating a light barrier that completely covered his body, while the energy glow from his other hand pushed against this barrier. The light shone through from the point of contact, forming a scattering arc that intertwined with the red hair.
After a series of crackling sounds resembling exploding beans, Peijia continued to retreat. Both the light barrier and the glowing energy vanished, and the red hair temporarily receded.
But to think that this would stop Red Hair would be too naïve.
The long spear was already repositioned in an instant, aimed thrusting towards Peijia. Compared to the previous attack, this one was evidently much more powerful, as if the air itself were being pierced, creating a visible vortex of air. The similarly red spear tip seemed to teleport and appeared right before Peijia's eyes after Red Hair thrust it forward.
This eight-star evolver let out a sound of surprise, spitting out a black sphere that collided perfectly with the spear tip.
This black sphere wrapped around the spear tip like a lump of mud, momentarily stopping its momentum. Taking advantage of this gap, Peijia raised his hands to protect his face.
The long spear, now covered in black mud, pierced through Peijia's hands as he tightly gripped it with his massive palms.
Anyone could see that the spear had penetrated Peijia's hands, but strangely, no blood flowed out; instead, a viscous black liquid oozed forth.
Peijia glared darkly from behind his large hands, a cruel smile emerging at the corners of his mouth.
At that moment, his body seemed to have liquefied, with the same viscous liquid flowing from the seams of his battle armor.
This repulsive liquid did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air, shooting towards Red Hair like a barrage of bullets, in line with Peijia's smile.
With the spear gripped tightly, Red Hair seemed to have only two choices: retreat and abandon her weapon or face the attack head-on.
Whichever option she chose, the initiative of the battle would undoubtedly return to Peijia.
At that moment, many members of the Peijia battle squad had arrived. Their numbers vastly outnumbered those at Cloud Summit. Battles erupted in various places, but the center and most intense area was undoubtedly here. Once Peijia took the initiative, it would signify overall control.
Red Hair chose the first option.
She chuckled lightly and dodged to the side, evading the viscous liquid, ultimately losing her long spear.
Peijia revealed a victorious smile.
He believed that the spear represented a significant portion of the woman's strength; its sharpness and speed indicated it was of a high level.
Now that no light shone from it, it meant this weapon was at least of golden quality!
