Kunz wanted to wave his arm to block, but this normally easy action was distorted under the abnormal gravity and his physical injuries. When he raised his arm, it didn't reach the intended position, causing the tip of the earth-type staff to smash against his arm and then hit his forehead.
The special form attack power of the Thick Earth Retribution is ten times that of Ye Zhongming's strength. To be effective, this strike possessed immense power, capable of impacting even peak experts.
Originally, Kunz's protective gear had already been damaged during his battle with Kiersail Ting. Now, he was wearing a set of crimson condensation level equipment that he had on hand.
This strike not only shattered the armored part of his arm but also left a cut on his forehead.
Kunz let out an enraged roar.
The pain in his arm indicated that the bone there must have been broken.
In fact, this was already quite impressive. Ye Zhongming, with various skills and enhancements to his physical abilities, had delivered a strike far stronger than that of a typical great expert. And Kunz happened to be in the worst condition he'd ever been in, which was why the effect was such.
Under normal circumstances, even if Kunz stood there and allowed him to strike, that one hit would barely leave a mark on his armor.
After roaring in anger, the first thought that came to Kunz's mind was to retaliate. Unfortunately, his body remained under Ye Zhongming's gravitational control, and that strike left him unable to regain his balance. He could only use his other hand to flick an energy bubble at Ye Zhongming's feet, which exploded, causing damage to the King of Cloud Summit while lifting him up.
To Kunz, this was enough to make his opponent lose balance, interrupting their attack. By the time he steadied himself after being attacked, even if Ye Zhongming was formidable, he was ultimately still someone who wasn't even a great expert. Meanwhile, Kunz, despite his injuries, remained a peak expert.
At that moment, Kunz would make him understand what the gap truly meant!
Ye Zhongming was indeed blown into the air. Even a casual blow from a peak expert caused significant damage to his body. His foot armor was shattered, his internal energy was in turmoil, blood flowed from his nose, and he was lifted off the ground by the force.
But Ye Zhongming didn't feel anxious; he swung the earth-type staff again, unleashing the third and final attack of the Thick Earth Retribution's special mode.
Kunz's unharmed hand had already touched the ground, and in the next moment, he would be able to stand up. After that, he intended to take down this person he loathed immensely.
When he saw Ye Zhongming still swinging the staff, Kunz, who had begun stabilizing his body, sneered mockingly.
Due to the explosion of the energy bubble, there was already some distance between Ye Zhongming and Kunz. This distance was not enough for the elemental staff to reach Kunz.
However, before Kunz's smile could fully blossom, he sensed danger. Instinctively, he gathered the little energy remaining in his body, forming a protective membrane close to himself while raising his arm as much as possible to block.
Others could see clearly that at this moment, diagonally behind Kunz's body, two shadows of elemental staffs were suddenly smashing towards him, appearing very abruptly and falling at high speed.
The targets of the two staff shadows seemed the same, but in reality, they were different. One aimed for Kunz's head, while the other targeted the arm he had just raised.
Just as Kunz was about to regain his balance, the two shadows struck this peak expert.
That being said, if Kunz had been in perfect condition, these two strikes would have only slightly shaken him, leaving minor damage to his armor.
But now, he was in terrible shape and had previously been attacked successively. Thus, when these two strikes hit him, a peak expert was forced to kneel.
One staff hit his raised arm, and this time, it wasn't just a broken bone; it caused an open wound, twisting his arm in the process.
