He didn't know how long this Earth Ring that had descended from the sky could last. After she understood Ye Zhongming's intention, she immediately launched her Sacred Talisman attack, which was her strongest offensive method.
The light swept across, and the Sacred Talisman struck the half-orc's head, knocking him backward.
However, upon closer inspection, she found that it hadn’t killed him; it merely left him bloodied.
Was this guy so tough?
The woman from the Long Void Water Clan wanted to launch another Sacred Talisman attack, but the fallen target made it difficult for her to find a good angle. If she forced the attack, there was a high chance she would hit the Earth Ring covering the half-orc from neck to knee.
If her attack inadvertently allowed the half-orc to escape, she felt that Ye Zhongming might just eliminate her.
So she quickly flew to the half-orc's side, pulling out a pair of short spears and stabbing fiercely at the half-orc's head.
The half-orc was indeed a competent warrior, but she too was a nine-star evolver, and the weapons in her hands were of excellent quality; otherwise, they wouldn't have been kept on hand by someone like her who rarely used weapons.
She attacked madly while the half-orc struggled violently.
Feeling the pain, he fought back, but as time passed, the half-orc noticed that the power that always filled his body was gradually fading at this moment.
The fear of death finally overshadowed any sense of dignity or confidence, transforming into a chorus of wails.
But the broken spear in her hand pierced into his mouth the next second.
Blood splattered, and the sounds ceased.
She gasped for breath, the broken spear dropping to the ground, while she leaned on her knees, seemingly exhausted.
She was indeed tired; it was the kind of exhaustion that came after intense physical exertion under extreme emotional stress. She feared that her lack of offensive power would prevent her from killing this half-orc. If he broke free, death awaited her and Ye Zhongming.
The Earth Ring slowly faded away. As this process continued, Ye Zhongming's body gradually transitioned from semi-transparent to normal. When the ring completely disappeared, the King of Cloud Summit revealed his true form.
At that moment, he looked as if he had just been pulled from the water, completely soaked, his hair drenched in sweat, his face red, his entire body trembling, his eyes somewhat vacant.
“Run.”
Ye Zhongming uttered those two words with difficulty, his voice sounding nothing like his usual self.
She immediately rushed over to embrace her companion and flew rapidly in one direction.

Pao Bai and his two subordinates stopped at a lakeside, facing three people across from them.
“Aoi Yucang.”
Pao Bai recognized this person, a member of the Nakun Clan. He had encountered him during an expedition hunt, and they had made some enemies. Later, in the arena of the Survivor Fortress, they had a duel, with Pao Bai emerging victorious without much effort.
At that time, to make a name for the Star-Eye Clan, Pao Bai had not held back against this guy and had even mocked him, leaving Aoi Yucang humiliated.
Pao Bai didn't care at all. Although the Nakun Clan was slightly stronger than the Star-Eye Clan, it was a limited strength, so choosing to target such a race was perfectly normal.
He just didn’t expect to encounter this enemy here.
“I knew your little Star-Eye Clan member was ranked first. I’ve been waiting for this moment, and I didn’t expect not only to get that opportunity, but also to meet you!”
Aoi Yucang felt this was a blessing from the gods of the universe.
He had originally intended to trip up the Star-Eye Clan, knowing they would definitely protect that first-ranked guy. After seeing Ye Zhongming's location, he chose to linger around this area to intercept the three warriors from the Star-Eye Clan.
As long as he could stop them, Aoi Yucang knew that the kid named Ye Zhongming would probably last less than an hour before being killed, thus avenging his previous humiliation.
