Anman’s body crashed to the ground, and the bone spikes and long horns that were supposed to pierce the enemy instead plunged into the earth.
He died with grievances, yet it was also a death that made sense.
He perished due to his overly direct fighting style, as well as the crushing advantage in strength and skills from his opponent.
The moment Ye Zhongming took a step forward, he activated the third ability of the Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant—Earth Charging.
This allowed the equipment to temporarily possess the capability of Space Magnetic Field, causing all targets entering the range to be influenced by double gravity.
Anman’s striking momentum was indeed fierce, but suddenly being subjected to double gravity pressure inevitably slowed him down.
In contrast, Ye Zhongming benefited from the Earth Set’s attribute, which reduced the gravity he experienced by half.
Comparing the two, it was easy to see how much faster Ye Zhongming was than Anman.
Not to mention, the additional attribute of the Earth Set’s accessories, Earth Color Radiance, still increased the effect of all equipped accessories by ten percent.
In this situation, Ye Zhongming calmly fired a shot from his green-level sniper rifle, using silver-level ammunition, hitting the critical heart area.
Even though Anman was a six-star evolver and currently activating his Bloodline, under the amplification of the Earth Set’s attributes, he became incredibly vulnerable.
With just one shot, Anman was eliminated—something no one had expected.
However, before they realized the issue, the other attacks arrived.
The first to strike were Ji Rui Guang's four daggers, which had been following Anman. They approached Ye Zhongming and, like poisonous snakes emerging from their holes, stabbed towards his vital areas: abdomen, heart, and even the groin.
The speed was so fast that Ye Zhongming couldn’t possibly evade.
But once the gravitational magnetic field activated, these daggers were also affected, slowing down suddenly just like Anman.
Ye Zhongming retreated, using the Sprint skill, but the direction was backwards.
This allowed Ye Zhongming to quickly leave the battlefield after killing Anman.
Then, Ye Zhongming activated the ability of the Earth’s Sturdy Wind Speed Pants—Repulsive Surge!
After retreating, his body shot upwards.
The two figures crossed paths, with Ye Zhongming soaring into the air while Jas dove down, crashing into the spot where Ye Zhongming had just stood.
In just a few seconds since the battle began, a dramatic change occurred.
In an instant, Anman charged, Anman died, daggers attacked, daggers slowed, Ye Zhongming retreated, Ye Zhongming flew, Jas charged, and Jas fell.
The skills of both sides intertwined, resulting in their first clash.
Ye Zhongming achieved a resounding victory.
It wasn’t until this moment that the other three in the resistance zone realized that Anman was dead.
“No!”
Ji Rui Guang roared, his face full of disbelief.
Anman had always been his most loyal subordinate, and it was rare that he had no principles.
Yes, for many leaders, this is an extremely important point, as such people can do many inconvenient things for you, especially in a resistance zone that, on the surface, must maintain an image of light; certain dark and bloody matters particularly needed someone like Anman.
Even in this collaboration with those guys in the sky, Anman was one of the informed ones.
Without him, Ji Rui Guang would have to find someone like him again, but where could he find such a person?
Moreover, to have Anman do things for him, Ji Rui Guang had invested heavily in him, from Evolution Potions to Bloodline Crystals; any one of them could sell for a sky-high price, but all of that was gone under Ye Zhongming's single bullet.
Previously, everyone had been restricted, and Ji Rui Guang consumed the Bone-Root Domain in an attempt to suppress and kill Ye Zhongming with the full strength of the four of them.
But now it seemed that this approach wasn’t going to work; after their initial clash, they had only lost Jas’s right hand, but now they had directly lost a six-star evolver!
