The blade was blocked in front of the body, firmly hooked by the sadness ink pattern scythe, while the back was being pierced repeatedly. This drove the demon abyss cleaner into a complete frenzy.
It ran, jumped, swayed, and shrieked, using its skills madly, yet it still could not shake off Xia Bai behind it. It seemed the only thing it could accomplish was to make the terrifying enemy's attacks on its body alternate between fast and slow.
The blood mist armor gradually disappeared, and the struggles became slower. After using its last strength to roll on the ground and still failing to shake off Xia Bai, the demon abyss cleaner finally let out a mournful cry and knelt down, watching helplessly as that terrifying woman swung her scythe and severed its head.
In the first match, Cloud Summit Villa emerged victorious.
The cheers were almost deafening, as the low morale caused by the blood meat swamp on the third level became feeble in the wake of this victory, then dissipated without a trace.
Many warriors only began to realize at this moment that Cloud Summit Villa might secure the ultimate reward.
It could be said that this was the most difficult and dangerous test they had ever faced, costing them the heaviest price.
But the more difficult it was, the more it filled these warriors with a desire for final victory. They didn’t need to participate directly, yet the results mattered to everyone, as they all hoped to survive.
Whether acknowledged or not, both Chinese and foreigners are superstitious about the idea of a good start. Although comebacks and last-minute victories are more thrilling, when it comes to life-and-death situations, everyone chooses the safest approach.
They hoped to keep winning until the end.
And then, see what rewards awaited them.
Everyone knew the rewards would be extraordinary.
After winning, Xia Bai chose to continue fighting.
Although the first battle had some twists and turns, the outcome was satisfactory enough for anyone. Xia Bai was unharmed, and she hadn't encountered any dangers, proving her abilities to be significantly higher than level six life forms. In this challenge, there were as many as four level six life forms. If she maintained this state, then wouldn’t it mean...
Unfortunately, the second to enter the fray, the night butcher, dealt a heavy blow to the warriors of Cloud Summit Villa.
Compared to the demon abyss cleaner, the night butcher was much smaller in size, yet still considered a small giant compared to humans.
Its pale pink skin wrapped its entire body and looked as if it had just been scalded with boiling water, giving a visually uncomfortable feeling. Its body was covered with numerous small fleshy strips, each about the thickness of a half finger, densely packed, enough to make anyone with a fear of clusters unable to bear to look.
The head was small, with clear nose, eyes, and mouth, resembling a human smile, while its ears were two elongated strips of flesh hanging at the back of its head.
Its body was round, with short limbs, and it had a short tail that could easily be overlooked if one wasn’t careful.
This seemingly harmless monster had only one thing that posed a threat: the kitchen knife it held in its hand.
Such a seemingly comical creature gave the warriors of Cloud Summit Villa a harsh lesson, reminding them that appearances can be deceiving.
Even though Ye Zhongming had already warned, Xia Bai still did not expect this monster to be so terrifying.
Under the shadow of the dark cataclysm, Xia Bai had the advantage at first, but she forgot the night butcher's name; it was a monster skilled in fighting in the dark.
When Xia Bai launched her attack with the sadness ink pattern scythe, the night butcher let out an eerie chuckle. Its short legs propelled it swiftly into the shadows, moving even faster as it swung its kitchen knife.
Xia Bai intended to take advantage of the longer reach of her weapon, but the next moment, she realized she had underestimated it.
This monster accurately used its unarmed limbs and body to instantly clamp down on the scythe!
