A cold light flashed in front of Ye Zhongming and Jie Kui. If the two hadn't retreated at the same time, they would have likely been hit.
A large tree in front was then cut in half.
Ye Zhongming and Jie Kui's hearts tightened.
Around here, there were only towering trees, with the thinnest trunks having a diameter of over two meters. Even as a nine-star evolver, it wouldn't be easy to cut down such a big tree. They were not like the ordinary trees on Earth.
Ye Zhongming glanced over and noticed that the tree wasn't cut but instead broken by a huge force.
This… Ye Zhongming instinctively assessed the situation. He realized that if he used his fist, he could achieve such a result, but throwing something… seemed unlikely.
Unconsciously, Ye Zhongming began to pay more attention to the approaching enemy.
With a shout of "can't escape," a figure rushed forward, swinging a punch at Jie Kui.
Compared to the two bending creatures, this punch was significantly more powerful, producing a sound like thunder and even carrying a hint of a bloody smell.
This meant that even without poison, there were other special effects involved.
Jie Kui couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath. It seemed these guys were picking on him, thinking he was easy to bully just because he had a broken arm.
Before Ye Zhongming could do anything to help him, Jie Kui, feeling frustrated today, did not evade but rather moved towards the punch.
The first to chase after him was a little girl with bulging eyes. The cold light from before was from the long-handled knife she wielded.
As a Luzhu person, she inherited the clan's combative genes and also possessed a top-tier awakening that was only left in legends, allowing her to compensate for her clan's lack of abilities beyond brute strength.
Now that she was chosen to participate in the rookie battlefield, she naturally wanted to achieve good results.
However, due to certain special reasons, she had to cooperate with those two Earthlings for revenge, but her ambition of ranking first in the rookie battlefield meant she wouldn't let go of any opportunity to earn points.
Yes, this Luzhu girl named Yaka was planning to kill Jie Kui.
Ye Zhongming had promised that Earthling not to kill, but killing Jie Kui would also grant her points.
Her strongest attack was naturally when she wielded the long-handled knife, but this punch was no joke either. It was a capability she developed upon evolving to the ninth level.
With the attributes of wind and thunder, combined with an illusionary breath!
Few could survive under the effects of such a punch that first induced illusion and then attacked.
Jie Kui felt a blinding white light in front of him. The scene was somewhat familiar, accompanied by some peculiar sounds that reminded him of… his first intimate encounter with someone of the opposite sex.
His heart raced, excitement surged, and his mind began to recall more details from that moment.
A person in a daze could easily be noticed.
Jie Kui was clearly caught in some kind of influence.
Ye Zhongming's astonishment and worry, along with the girl's sneer and arrogance, created a deadly scene.
Regarding Jie Kui's sudden counterattack, Ye Zhongming felt a bit helpless. If Jie Kui had stayed close to him, he could have offered help at any time. However, this guy suddenly moved towards the little girl, instantly stepping out of Ye Zhongming's range, leaving the King of Cloud Summit with no way to assist.
The creature that Ye Zhongming had previously struck away was uncertain of its fate, but the one dealing with Jie Kui rushed over again, clearly intending to entangle Ye Zhongming and prevent him from aiding Jie Kui.
Their goal was achieved; Ye Zhongming truly couldn't help Jie Kui at this moment.
Including Ye Zhongming, everyone felt that Jie Kui might not make it.
However, the reality was that Jie Kui not only survived but directly knocked the stunning little girl away.
Upon witnessing this, Ye Zhongming thought of a Star Eye Clan ability—Arc Shadow Movement.
