Previously, Liang Chuyin had used a silk ribbon to bind the two iron rods to prevent them from causing trouble. During the earlier attack, she did feel the struggle coming from the rods, but she managed to suppress them.
Now, the two iron rods suddenly broke free; clearly, the situation of being unable to escape was entirely an illusion. The Cave Holder had been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to win.
Liang Chuyin truly had no guard up. Having maintained her proactive advantage, she believed that the two iron rods were securely bound by her silk ribbon and posed no threat anymore.
The rods, being close to her due to being tied with the silk ribbon, suddenly struck out. Almost instantaneously, one went for her head while the other targeted her neck. If hit, even if she didn’t die, she would lose her combat capability in a short time.
On the ground, the silk ribbons continued to strike the Cave Holder, forcing him to retreat repeatedly. While they protected vital areas, other parts of his body were taking heavy blows, and compared to when he first began to retreat, his rhythm had clearly become chaotic. Many of his movements were deformed, indicating that some parts of his body had either been battered to the point of breaking or that he was on the verge of collapsing and gradually losing control.
It seemed like the undoubtedly defeated Cave Holder was about to turn the tides.
In front of the light barrier, many people felt tense. This battle, free from fuleira's restrictions, was actually quite spectacular. There wasn’t an obvious display of overwhelming strength; both sides had their characteristics and methods. It was a contest of understanding combat and adapting in real-time, which was very captivating.
Just moments ago, many believed Liang Chuyin would surely win, but now, many thought the Cave Holder had already reversed the situation.
In fact, just as the short rods were about to contact her, Liang Chuyin's body seemed to momentarily glitch, as if in a game, and then the rods struck her.
Due to the angle of the livestream, many viewers didn’t immediately understand what had happened. They only reacted with the appropriate sounds for the end of a battle, whether in admiration, regret, or disappointment.
However, those present and the few who had keen eyesight noticed that another internet celebrity had appeared in front of Liang Chuyin.
“Star Eye Clan…”
Those who understood the situation felt these three words rise in their minds.
Perhaps it was because Ye Zhongming had shined too brightly over the past year, or perhaps because Liang Chuyin’s identity as Ye Zhongming's woman was well known. Even more so, the sudden emergence of Cloud Summit Manor outside Dark Strip City made people view it as an independent force. In any case, many sometimes overlooked the Star Eye Clan, regarding Cloud Summit Manor merely as the name of a race.
This was also something Ye Zhongming had been working on all along.
But one thing could not be denied: Ye Zhongming was from the Star Eye Clan, and even if he had a bad relationship with them now, he hadn’t completely distanced himself.
Given this, it was no surprise that Liang Chuyin possessed some abilities from the Star Eye Clan.
This ability to create clones was so familiar; last year, an individual had used it to its fullest extent in the novice battlefield, and today, that person’s woman had used it again.
Though it didn't have the same shock and incredibility as during the last novice battlefield, this level was sufficient to allow Liang Chuyin to evade an attack that could determine the outcome.
The short rods were indeed under the Cave Holder's control. If he could, he would launch a second attack, but Liang Chuyin would not give him such an opportunity again.
All the silk ribbons that attacked the Cave Holder suddenly came to a halt. The Cave Holder felt his body loosen, and due to the sudden change, he swayed violently. At the same time, a bad feeling arose within him, and a flash of dark energy passed through his eyes as two black energy walls rose from beneath him.
