The great demon roared as it collided with Ye Zhongming, and blood splattered instantly.
Now, Ye Zhongming's body was no longer weak against the great demon. In his hand, he wielded the sand dance. As long as he could keep up with the opponent's speed, having a blue-level weapon gave him a natural advantage.
Just like now, in this small space, both sides were fighting fiercely, leaving scars on each other's bodies. Ye Zhongming had several wounds carved into him, while the great demon was also injured. However, compared to Ye Zhongming, the wounds on the great demon were deeper and longer, clearly more severe.
The great demon retreated, its face still twisted in rage, yet a hint of disbelief flickered in its eyes.
Why had this man become so much stronger in such a short time? Earlier, he couldn't keep up with its speed at all.
This great demon, which could communicate with Ye Zhongming in that manner, was undoubtedly very intelligent. It quickly realized that Ye Zhongming's appearance here was unusual.
It chose not to attack again but instead stepped back, warily watching Ye Zhongming.
At this moment, how could Ye Zhongming stop? Whether from the perspective of the rewards from today’s roulette or considering that the young inside the great demon's belly could be the powerful future demon 'zhenwei', he had to take down this creature.
Stepping forward, the sand dance angled upwards. With the passive ability reducing gravity, Ye Zhongming's speed was extremely fast, and the blade's light almost flashed before reaching the great demon.
This strike aimed directly at the great demon's belly!
The great demon let out a piercing scream, clearly enraged that Ye Zhongming targeted its children!
Even after mutating into a great demon, it still retained its instincts as a mother. Whoever touched its child would face its wrath.
The great demon shrieked and retreated, its abdomen retracting as its right hand swung at Ye Zhongming, sharp claws aimed at his head.
With its height giving it a distinct advantage, its attacks were easier to execute.
While their speeds were similar, Ye Zhongming had the war knife, giving him an advantage in attack distance. In this confined space, the great demon struggled to evade, so it chose a mutually destructive tactic.
If Ye Zhongming did not dodge, his war knife could indeed slice into the great demon's belly, but his head would also be vulnerable to the great demon's strike, leading to more severe damage for him.
Sure enough, Ye Zhongming dodged. He retracted the knife's momentum, shifting from an upward slash to a horizontal cut, twisting his body to continue attacking the great demon's lower abdomen.
This time, the great demon retreated in time, leaping up with its fists tightly clenched to smash down at Ye Zhongming.
The two of them fought fearlessly in the small space, with one side getting injured from time to time, and the scent of blood thickening in the air.
"Is that Ye Zhongming and that monster?"
The human quartet had just passed through a small space's trial, gaining Nourishing Life Soil but sustaining significant injuries.
Fortunately, they had only passed through a limited number of small spaces, and with four people together, each taking a quarter of the attacks made it easier to manage.
Upon hearing Anman’s words, the others looked over and indeed saw two figures, large and small, engaged in battle in a distant small space, the green-glowing war knife easily identifiable.
"That doesn't necessarily mean it's Ye Zhongming," Zuo Jinxuan said, her once arrogant gaze now absent. She had also been injured in battle, and under the shared attacks, there was nothing to be proud of, especially considering how far Ye Zhongming had gone alone; for the first time, she recognized the man's strength.
"It should be him," Ji Rui Guang squinted, his gaze flickering.
"Fight well; I hope they both die there," Anman said with a small-minded smile, wishing for mutual destruction.
Jas and Ji Rui Guang exchanged glances, both sensing each other's shock.
