In the moment Heiting Yanting appeared, the three Su Clan experts who had been blocking the elite Dwarf battle team immediately withdrew from combat and charged towards the Dwarf chieftain. As they moved, black radiance flickered from their hands, and they executed the same motions, sending lines of black energy flying out from the black light, spreading across the ground in all directions.
The Dwarf battle team closely followed them, continually unleashing various skills in an attempt to detain the three, not wanting to let down the expectations of their chieftain.
The battle between the two peak experts intensified abruptly due to the appearance of Heiting Yanting; one wanted to break free, while the other absolutely would not allow it. It appeared they would not stop until one of them was dead.
At this moment, Ye Zhongming had no other thoughts, his solidified body trembling slightly.
Naturally, no one would think this was out of fear. By this point, many emotions had already faded away, as they were the most useless things in this war.
The black body was gradually lightening.
Heiting Yanting looked at Ye Zhongming with some surprise, as he could distinctly smell the aura of clear rules emanating from this person.
He knew that Ye Zhongming had used some method to stand on that line, and even due to his own exceptional talent, he had grasped some superficial aspects of the rules of power.
But ultimately, it depended on external forces. When facing a true peak expert, it was an illusion and laughable.
Yet now, this feeling seemed to genuinely be as if he was facing an opponent of the same level.
The Dwarf chieftain snorted softly.
So what?
Even if Ye Zhongming had truly advanced to the peak expert realm at this moment, could he survive under his hands?
No, he could not. The difference was probably only whether he could live a bit longer or a bit shorter.
He raised his hand and pointed towards Ye Zhongming in the void.
In sight, there was nothing between Heiting Yanting and Ye Zhongming, but in everyone's perception, several invisible forces arced towards Ye Zhongming.
Crossing space and time was a kind of rule.
What seemed like a simple strike actually contained Heiting Yanting's years of understanding of the rules, as well as the application of his own power. Even among peak experts, not many could safely withstand this finger.
An ice blue crescent-shaped halberd stood in front of Ye Zhongming, but as soon as it began to rotate, it shattered suddenly.
Next, a Fire Net appeared in the place of the halberd, but after flapping twice, it also transformed into a sky of elemental power.
After two attempts, Ye Zhongming finally had a chance to wield Crack Nest.
This time, space instantaneously condensed, and then this divine level weapon representing Ye Zhongming's current highest manufacturing standard also shattered.
Ye Zhongming continued to retreat, utilizing his abilities and the small openings created by Crack Nest to evade the invisible yet lethal attacks.
However, that unsettling power was still there, continuously closing in on Ye Zhongming. The defenses he had previously set up only bought him a little bit of time.
About a second later, the power pierced through Ye Zhongming's body.
Amide, who was focused on the battle, felt a flicker of pain on his face.
He didn't know how to explain this when he returned, if he could return at all.
He initially thought all arrangements were well made. Even if Ye Zhongming entered Divine Artisan City, his safety was guaranteed because inside the city, not only was there him, a peak expert, secretly protecting, but there were also numerous experts from the Rebel Dragon Race.
Ye Zhongming's own strength had reached a high level after taking a special drug; even if he encountered an ordinary peak expert and couldn't win, he could at least buy some time or even escape.
After all, there were only so many peak experts among the Dwarfs. Based on previous estimates, the combined forces of the Su Clan Alliance and the Rebel Dragon Race would far outnumber them. Even with some unexpected factors, like hidden cards the Dwarfs might have, it should have been manageable.
