Giersail Ting's heart, which had slightly calmed down, started to race again.
His own strength was a bit weaker than Kunz, and being able to match him to that extent was due to Kunz being injured and not in top form.
However, under the divine level equipment, Giersail Ting could not hold on any longer. Even using his ultimate move, he could not completely withstand the attack.
It seemed like he was fine at the moment; just a bit of blood had trickled out. But he knew that the equipment and skills he possessed prevented him from suffering fatal injuries, yet his wounds were still serious.
Moreover, due to the strange power carried by the divine level weapon, it constantly eroded his body.
Giersail Ting was currently enduring the pain; if he stopped, he didn't know if he would have another chance to escape.
Faced with the sudden interception, he had no time to think and performed the strongest attack he could muster.
The body of this peak expert suddenly split into a phantom shadow. This shadow was different from many abilities of the Star-Eye Clan; it was faint, almost transparent, and connected to Giersail Ting by even fainter, blurred shadows.
As soon as this shadow appeared, it somehow directly located the yet-to-reveal form of Lord Xing, binding the Star-Eye Clan leader, who was about to launch an attack, right in place.
Some points of light began to break away from her, transitioning over to that shadow.
At the same time, Giersail Ting turned to face the pursuing Kunz and waved a hand.
From the ground in front of him, several snake-like life forms emerged, their heads made of energy while their bodies were flesh and blood.
Those with knowledge recognized these as 'Half-Life Insects', a special life form that only the Lena People could cultivate.
Basically, every member of the clan would receive varying numbers of these insects since childhood, nurturing them at any time and place.
In other words, the Half-Life Insects were cultivated for as long as the Lena People had lived.
As a peak expert, Giersail Ting had likely raised these four Half-Life Insects for many years, and he rarely brought them out because these creatures had a characteristic: their attack power was extremely strong, but their defense was very weak.
This meant that they were very easy to kill.
Normally, people would develop feelings for their long-time pets, treating them as family, not to mention these Half-Life Insects that had accompanied them for countless years.
Thus, the Lena People would never risk bringing such creatures out under normal circumstances.
Once they were brought out, it meant they were in a life-or-death situation.
Now, for Giersail Ting, this was indeed a moment of peril!
Kunz, who had been charging forward, immediately came to a halt.
Even though he was a peak expert, he had to be extremely cautious in the face of the Lena People's Half-Life Insects; after all, these insects were akin to those of his peer level, and their attack power could not be underestimated.
With Kunz halted, Giersail Ting turned his body around; the Half-Life Insects could at least buy him ten seconds, which was enough for him to eliminate these two overconfident opponents.
In Giersail Ting's eyes, they truly were overestimating themselves.
Although he had been dragging Delma to escape, making him unaware of the surroundings and not detecting these two little beings in time, it did not mean that two insignificant assassins could stop or even injure him.
They weren't qualified, even when facing a wounded Giersail Ting.
Currently, those who could pose a threat to Giersail Ting had to be at the level of a major expert.
A full moon descended from the sky without warning, enveloping Giersail Ting and Delma. As it descended, it transformed into a sharp killing intent.
"Hmph." Giersail Ting did not even speak; he just let out a cold grunt, casually glanced at it, and dispelled the moonlight killing attack aimed at him.
As for Delma's side, he didn't bother because His Highness the Prince could definitely handle it himself, and he was happy to save energy.
