Ye Zhongming once again observed the battlefield, where the fight was nearing its end.
The guards held an absolute advantage; although they had lost a large portion of their numbers, the mechanical legion only had four members left.
Ye Zhongming remained still, quietly watching. When only the squad leader and one other person were left on the mechanical legion's side, he suddenly sprang out to attack the guards from behind, targeting a powerful opponent.
One could only imagine the turmoil in that masterâs heart at that moment.
What does it mean that youâre here now? Didnât we just agree to pretend you didnât exist?
âLong Butai, are you okay?!â
The squad leader was on the verge of tears with joy. He didnât care where Ye Zhongming had gone earlier; as long as he appeared and resolved the current situation, that was good enough.
Ye Zhongming indeed began his assault on the guards, just as he had anticipated.
Once he launched his attack, the squad leader quickly realized the difference; Long Butaiâs strength was astonishingly high.
In fact, it had already surpassed his own.
This was obviously impossible.
Although the match compatibility wasnât as high as Long Butaiâs, this was a master! Long Butai appeared to only have around fifty to sixty thousand fuleira, and the gap in compatibility couldnât possibly bridge the enormous difference in fuleira.
However⌠the combat power demonstrated by this individual was something the squad leader knew he couldnât match, even in his peak state.
At that moment, he was filled with confusion.
The powerful guard had already lost to Ye Zhongming once and, facing the same opponent again, he had no confidence left. Coupled with the fact that he had already fought fiercely with the mechanical legion's squad leader, his condition was far from peak.
When he encountered Ye Zhongming again, he immediately showed signs of defeat, not even managing to call for help before Ye Zhongming swiftly killed him.
At that time, only the squad leader remained from the mechanical legion, while the guards had fewer than ten left. Ye Zhongming and the squad leader, both masters, charged through, with no one escaping.
âLong⌠Butai, how are you so strong now?â The squad leader gasped violently; he had nearly died in this battle.
Ye Zhongming didnât answer but instead picked up the weapon of the slain guard and, handing it to the squad leader, said, âTake a look at his stick.â
The squad leader was taken aback and instinctively reached out to take it.
However, the stick, which was thick at both ends and thin in the middle, suddenly accelerated and with a thud, struck the unguarded head of the squad leader's mechanical battle armor.
His entire body was thrown back due to the immense force, and at this point, he realized that something was wrong with Long Butai.
His hands rose to wield the weapon, despite his body being out of control, as he prepared to counter the impending attack.
Unfortunately, he didnât understand his opponent well enough. Just when his body leaned back to its lowest point, the gravity at his location suddenly changed dramatically.
That force made him unable to stand firm, and he fell straight to the ground.
In a contest between powerful individuals, such a state equated to leaving oneâs defenses wide open.
Ye Zhongmingâs blade sliced through his body, finding a gap in the mechanical battle armor from an incredible angle, ending the life of a squad leader who would die without understanding what had happened.
After killing the last remaining person, Ye Zhongming did not stop. He quickly grabbed the squad leaderâs corpse and made his way to the entrance, tossing the body onto a metal box.
Then he quietly waited in a concealed spot.
In less than a minute, a squad of about ten people arrived here for support.
They immediately spotted the squad leaderâs corpse at the door and rushed in with weapons drawn.
Logically, they shouldnât have been so careless, but unfortunately, the pressure they were under had prevented them from considering potential dangers.
