This rune is the primordial power of Kunz.
At the moment of life and death, he only trusts his own strength, so even though there are many items he can use in his space, he remains dedicated to the runes constructed from his primordial power. They can attack and defend; Kunz does not believe that anything else can replace them. Although this consumes a lot of his energy, he thinks it is worth it.
Facing an expert of the same level, a primordial rune naturally wouldn't do much. Unless the opponent stands there without armor for you to blow up, the most it can do is make them stagger. For instance, a peak expert like Kilhol Thunder could only have a few drops of blood drawn.
However, it is completely different for other life forms. For a major expert, a primordial rune is enough to seriously injure them. If Kunz doesn't provide treatment, the foreign power will remain within the major expert's body, and even after the wounds heal, it will continue to affect them. It can be said that, apart from Kunz, no one else can save them.
For life forms that are not major experts, the damage from an exploding rune is enough to be fatal. As long as they haven’t crossed that threshold of being a major expert, they don't stand a chance of survival.
Ye Zhongming, who has lost his transformation state, is precisely not a major expert!
Therefore, Kunz believes that Ye Zhongming is doomed.
If he kills Ye Zhongming, although he will exhaust his primordial power, he still has other means to hold on. By then, his subordinates will arrive, and he will have the chance to use healing potions. Even if he can only recover ten percent of his strength, it will be enough to kill all the enemies here with the help of his subordinates!
The primordial rune exploded just as Kunz had anticipated. He didn't even look (well, his vision is almost nonexistent now) and rushed forward. In his haste, he seemed to hear some 'ah ah ya ya gu gu' sounds.
"Are you too anxious?" A voice that made Kunz’s body tremble sounded in his ear. Following that, the peak expert felt a sharp pain, his head spun, and then came an endless agony.
That Ye Zhongming, whom Kunz thought was destined to die, did not perish; instead, he stood unscathed beside him, and as he spoke those words, he directly broke one of Kunz's hands and drew it into his space.
On that hand was a space ring.
Then, Ye Zhongming unleashed a flurry of punches on Kunz.
In the absence of more outstanding weapons, Ye Zhongming trusted his own strength at this moment. Perhaps this was the only ability he had to surpass the limits of major experts while in a normal state.
He grabbed Kunz's collarbone with one hand, his fingers digging in directly, causing Kunz to scream in pain, while also causing Ye Zhongming’s fingertips to tear, exposing white bone.
Even if Kunz had little capacity to resist at this moment and lacked any protective gear, simply breaking through the skin of a peak expert required a certain price to be paid.
Ye Zhongming held on tightly and continued to punch Kunz's head, which had not yet sunk into his chest.
It wasn't that Ye Zhongming wanted to attack such a hard spot, but rather that he needed to ensure that Kunz's mind could not return to a normal state. Otherwise, once this peak expert regained some consciousness, who knows what tricks he could use to escape or even counterattack?
Right now, Ye Zhongming couldn't afford to waste another life, and it seemed that Qiuqiu could no longer block an attack for him.
Yes, the one who had just absorbed the explosion of the primordial rune aimed at Ye Zhongming was his most carefree pet, Qiuqiu. Although it didn’t appear often, and Ye Zhongming didn’t know where it often went, at least it stayed on the same planet as Ye Zhongming and would appear promptly when summoned.
Ye Zhongming had long experienced Qiuqiu's abnormal defensive abilities, but he wasn't too sure if it could withstand an attack from a peak expert. Now it seemed Qiuqiu was indeed quite capable, although it had been knocked down by the explosion and was chirping on the ground without being able to rise, it should be fine.
