"Once again, I wish everyone a Happy New Year, and I also thank all the readers for their support of the Roulette over the past year. In the new year, I hope everyone continues to support this book. Old Phantom will continue to type at a slow pace for everyone to read. Thank you all!"
Ye Zhongming's tactics were not brilliant; they could be summed up in one word—pretend.
He pretended to be a 'normal' six-star evolver, pretended to be slightly stronger than other six-star evolvers, pretended that without his profession and skills, his body would be at a disadvantage, and pretended that he was at a disadvantage.
Because Ye Zhongming acted too normally, the four-man team in the resistance area believed that he was indeed strong, able to withstand such a long time under the combined efforts of four people!
If Ye Zhongming had shown too much weakness, these individuals, who had fought their way here, would certainly have become suspicious. But because he seemed too normal, the four of them felt at ease.
In this situation, Ye Zhongming suddenly launched a fierce attack, revealing his abnormal physical attributes and achieving a significant victory.
He chose not to kill Anman, as a six-star evolver's impact on the battle was minimal. He also did not choose Zuo Jinxuan, as this woman had a tendency to cause more trouble than she was worth; keeping her around might yield surprises. Thus, Ye Zhongming opted for Jas.
He had been waiting for the right opportunity and finally seized one, striking decisively to chop off Jas's right hand!
If he was going to choose, he would pick the strongest one!
With only one chance, wounding the strongest enemy yields the greatest benefit!
As for injuring Anman, that was merely a convenient gesture for Ye Zhongming.
At this moment, the battle situation changed drastically. Jas, the strongest among the four, was severely injured, and Anman was sent flying, coughing up blood.
Ye Zhongming did not stop, as the fight was not yet over.
His target remained Jas.
Taking advantage of the injury to claim a life was not just talk; a severely wounded seven-star evolver still posed a threat. After all, he still had one hand left, and that hand could still take lives.
Now, using his injury to strike, this was the best time to kill Jas.
A flash of color appeared between the two; Zuo Jinxuan's soft sword blocked Ye Zhongming's sand dance.
The green equipment clashed with the blue equipment in mid-air, with the former clearly at a disadvantage. After blocking the attack, Zuo Jinxuan quickly turned her body, creating a protective sword light around her, moving with surprising skill.
Ye Zhongming quickly realized that this woman had likely mastered certain national martial arts in the past, which she was now integrating into her combat, greatly enhancing her power.
This emotionally inept woman turned out to be a master of physical techniques.
With this buffer, Jas finally recovered from the double blow of losing his right hand and the shock, quickly retreating and pulling out a potion from his belt to drink.
He never expected this kid to be so cunning, catching him off guard and causing him to lose his hand. He also harbored some resentment towards this space; why did it prohibit professions and skills? Otherwise, with his four-winged golden demon profession, even if Ye Zhongming struck him, he could endure three strikes without losing!
"Kill him!"
At this point, Ji Rui Guang finally revealed his true feelings; he hated Ye Zhongming even more than Jas did.
To get these two seven-star evolvers from the resistance area on his side, Ji Rui Guang knew exactly what he had sacrificed. He understood how much he had put into this operation; once it failed, he would be doomed.
Yet from the beginning, he had faced continuous setbacks. After encountering Ye Zhongming, things had never gone smoothly. Now, he had even lost Jas's hand. How would he explain this to the other divisions when he returned? If Jas were intact, Ji Rui Guang would not hesitate to openly recruit him, as the resistance area had rules, but in the end, strength was what mattered. With a seven-star evolver on his side, he would fear nothing.
