CHAPTER TEXT:
The subsequent battles and changes in the situation were temporarily unrelated to Ye Zhongming.
He had questions in his heart, and he seemed to find a bit of an answer from the earlier exchange of glances with Husky, but Ye Zhongming chose not to think about it any longer.
He understood that regardless of the truth, he had to face the two people in front of him.
To be honest, although he had yet to truly engage in a life-or-death confrontation with the Hawkins couple, he knew that these two might be the strongest enemies he had encountered since evolving into a nine-star evolver.
Today, perhaps, a victor would finally emerge.
Strictly speaking, Ye Zhongming was not in the best state right now. After all, the curse of Naka still had two effects on him. Although they weren't directly affecting his combat power, they had some impact.
Combined with the unfavorable situation, this was also a form of pressure.
However, at this moment, Ye Zhongming was extremely focused. The mimetic weapon in his hand transformed into a knife shape, and all the power in his body concentrated together as he struck down fiercely at the couple below.
No matter how sharp-tongued Amus was, she was truly an expert in combat. She raised the long spear in her hand diagonally, and a massive spear shadow flew out of the weapon, heading towards Ye Zhongming's attack.
Even upon seeing her opponent gathering power from above, she did not flinch at all.
Hawkins and Amus had cooperated for a long time. Seeing his wife act this way, Hawkins didn't even think twice before striking a horse stance. His golden armor shone brighter, and the war knife floated in the air. As he slowly threw a punch, it seemed to break through some obstruction and flew upwards.
The last time he faced Ye Zhongming, Hawkins used this move, and it appeared to align perfectly with his secondary attack identity. However, when the knife was fully charged, its power was not inferior to that of the mechanical spear in Amus's hand.
Ye Zhongming suddenly closed his eyes, causing Amus and Hawkins to shudder in their hearts.
When an opponent makes such a move, it often precedes some major action.
Sure enough, two identical shadows appeared suddenly on either side of Ye Zhongming.
Again with this move? The Hawkins couple sneered coldly, having suffered from it once before. Could they be caught again?
They had prepared for this.
The shadows, upon exploding, would generate weak toxicity. While this was somewhat annoying and affected visibility, it wasn't fatal. The most bothersome part was the mental impact. A moment of distraction in battle could lead to major problems.
So this time, the Hawkins couple returned to their camp fully prepared. They had already taken detoxifying medicine early on, and their ocular recorders were replaced with the highest-grade ones, equipped with special functions including the ability to see in dark environments.
As for the mental attack, they chose to implant a chip in their brains, similar to a minor surgery, to sever or, more accurately, artificially obstruct the brain's ability to receive external mental energies.
Now, they could basically ignore Ye Zhongming's skill.
Seeing Ye Zhongming summon two shadows again, they were even less concerned, hoping that he would summon more, wasting more of his mental energy.
Ye Zhongming's attack collided with Amus's, producing a massive force that emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the surrounding sea.
The seawater was pushed away in other directions, forming circles of waves.
Crack!
The speedboat under Amus's feet made such a sound as the entire hull cracked under the immense pressure.
Ye Zhongming's body, propelled backward, was almost uncontrollable, yet he smiled.
"Something's off, he didn't activate his bloodline!"
A question arose in the hearts of Amus and the Hawkins couple at that moment.
Then, a tremendous force came from beneath their feet.
Now on the sea, Ye Zhongming attacked from above, further amplifying his already superior strength.
