No matter whether it was the warriors on the novice battlefield or others from the All Races of the Universe who were watching, many of them had lived for a very long time and had seen almost everything that could happen.
Yet, they had truly never witnessed the scene before them.
This was a kind of combat method that they found hard to comprehend.
At first glance, it seemed a bit soft and overly ordinary, but in reality, it was knocking the lives assaulting the small hill left and right.
Perhaps a hit or two wouldn't make much difference, but there were simply too many of these shadowy figures.
Moreover, every shadow that struck was not just a hit or two; it was a series of continuous attacks.
As Ye Zhongming continuously unleashed his moves as if practicing, the shadows below moved in tandem, and soon, casualties began to appear, with the numbers steadily increasing over time.
The lives closest to the top of the hill were intercepted by Pao Bai and others, while the shadows behind surged forward. They were caught in a dilemma; attacking Pao Bai and the others wasn’t feasible, nor could they escape.
There was no way out, as these shadows were untouchable.
Especially for those elite warriors among them, if their powers had not been suppressed, they might have been able to find a way to deal with these shadows. However, with only two thousand fuleira’s level of strength, they couldn’t exert much power at all.
Desperately breaking through Pao Bai and the others?
They had considered doing that, but facing a pincer attack, they had little confidence. The previous death of one had already reminded them that going all in was not a good solution to the problem.
So what to do?
Some began to flee.
That individual had been close to the edge and, gritting his teeth, had rushed into the dense forest after taking a few hits.
This undoubtedly alerted many lives, especially those at the edge, who took the opportunity amidst the encroaching shadows to flee in droves.
In the process, deaths were unavoidable.
At the last moment, the life at the center of the hilltop still made the decision to kill Ye Zhongming.
If they ran too far from the edge, they might be killed by the shadows.
If they didn’t run, there was only one choice left.
Even though Ye Zhongming was ‘practicing martial arts’ continuously, if anyone rushed to his side, his attacks would automatically turn into a fight with that life.
His fists and feet were not comparable to the shadows, containing profound mental power and the gravitational control of the Earth Spirit, along with the toxicity of the double poison shadow, all several levels higher. Killing him wouldn’t be easy.
Moreover, Pao Bai, Isabella, and Jie Su were there to protect him.
In fact, the number of lives that could rush to the top of the hill was already very limited. Even so, this still caused immense trouble for Pao Bai and the others; they were simply too few and had to care for too many.
As Ye Zhongming’s controlled shadows drew closer, the attackers fell into a desperate state.
The battlefield became chaotic, with constant deaths and fleeing individuals.
With three minutes left, Jie Su was injured and retreated, only able to provide slight care for the other injured.
With two minutes remaining, Pao Bai coughed up blood from severe injuries, his body twisted from the blows, and he was barely alive, while the already wounded He had exhausted all his strength and completely lost combat ability.
On the defensive side, only Ye Zhongming, who was still ‘practicing,’ and the strongest, Isabella, remained.
Unlike Ye Zhongming, who was enjoying himself, Isabella was now playing both father and mother, needing to protect herself while also taking care of the injured. However, no matter what, she couldn’t cover everyone, and soon, more lives perished…
With one minute left until the novice battlefield ended, the summit was already piled with people and shadows, with someone falling every second.
Flashes of intense light or huge energy waves passed by, only to vanish again.
