Compared to the Cloud Summit Villa, the Anti-Cloud Summit Alliance had an undeniable disadvantage at the beginning—one was in the light and the other in the dark.
While the members of the Anti-Cloud Summit Alliance were forming ideas and preparing to act, they had been quietly observing Cloud Summit all along, easily gathering most information about it.
For instance, Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan led the two most core departments of Cloud Summit, the hunting regulations and personnel configuration of the villa, as well as the levels and strengths of its defenses.
Furthermore, they also knew the evolvement levels and professions of these core members.
So, before the battle began, the type of evolvers Xia Lei and the others were had already been grasped by outsiders, even if not completely.
On the contrary, Cloud Summit had little knowledge of the enemy this time. Knowing where these individuals came from, their names, and evolution levels was already a reflection of the capabilities of both Cloud Summit and Xia Lei. If it were another force, they might not have known any of this, let alone find an opportunity from such limited intelligence to take out a five-star stronger first.
However, the difference in information mastery between the two sides became increasingly apparent once the battle started. This disparity was not obvious before the fight, but once it erupted, the impact of the unequal information surged dramatically.
The most obvious example was that the people from Cloud Summit only knew that Pang Cheng was the leader of the exclusive King of Freedom, a five-star evolver, yet they barely knew anything about this unfamiliar figure and his strange force. Thus, when this giant fat man used his professional skills, Xia Lei and Liang Chuyin could only rely on their strength and experience to respond instinctively.
This undoubtedly placed them at a disadvantage, not to mention the advantage in evolution levels that Pang Cheng held.
With dual blades in hand, Xia Lei created a seamless shadow of blades before her, while the internet celebrity girl used her silver whip to unleash an ice tornado, forming a white crystalline vortex right in front.
It wasn't that the two didn't try to evade; rather, the space at the city walls was limited, and the black liquid spewed by the five-star evolver was far too expansive to dodge.
The grayish-black liquid, carrying a foul odor, collided with the defenses in front of the two women, resulting in a series of faint popping sounds, creating an eerie atmosphere.
The repulsive liquid splashed onto Xia Lei's two edge of the moon blades. Although they were deflected and did not touch her body, the liquid clung to the blades, refusing to be shaken off, and soon began to sizzle, with wisps of faint blue smoke rising from the white blades.
Xia Lei's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes brimmed with heartache. If anything happened to that man, these two blades would be their last connection. Now, they were clearly being damaged by this corrosive liquid, the white glow on the blades growing unstable, flickering between light and dark. If left untreated, they would surely be ruined.
Liang Chuyin's situation wasn’t any better. Though the ice tornado blocked the liquid, causing it to freeze into ice beads upon contact, those beads rolled away after hitting the ground, clattering far off.
However, the weather was a bit warm, and the various skills and fierce battles on the battlefield raised the temperature higher than other areas. These ice beads soon began to melt, exposing the corrosive liquid beneath. If someone unlucky stepped on these beads, they would immediately scream and collapse, clutching their smoking feet in agony.
The expressions of the two women darkened. They hadn't anticipated encountering such a troublesome profession.
Looking at Pang Cheng, who lay on the ground like a toad, Xia Lei and Liang Chuyin knew they couldn’t let him continue this way. After withstanding the first round of attacks, they immediately charged forward, ready to engage in close combat.
