CHAPTER TEXT:
"A gathering will happen soon, and I probably will drink too much. The next chapter will be updated tomorrow~~~ It's New Year, everyone take care of your health, haha~~"
The Sorrow of Strategy flickered and disappeared from its original spot. When it reappeared, it was right next to Ye Zhongming, its enormous crescent-shaped curved knife cutting towards Ye Zhongming's body.
Due to the sheer size of this weapon, which hovered around The Sorrow of Strategy like a hula hoop, it exuded an overwhelming intimidation factor. Ye Zhongming had to respond seriously, dodging sideways to evade the incoming massive weapon.
However, in the next second, The Sorrow of Strategy vanished again, reappearing on the opposite side, with the giant curved knife slicing towards him once more.
This illustrated the battle characteristic of such summoning-type figures: instantaneous attack.
Although it wasn't instantaneous teleportation in the strictest sense, each movement had a slight time gap, and even the trajectory of the movements could be tracked after becoming familiar with them. Still, for evolvers accustomed to traditional battle styles, this could pose a great threat.
The feeling of facing an opponent who was battling you one second and suddenly standing behind you the next was unsettling for anyone.
The Sorrow of Strategy gained great fame in its past life largely due to this unique battle style.
During the third attack, Ye Zhongming tested the strength of this summoning weapon with his Sand Dance. After a clash, the Sand Dance was fine, but a small nick appeared on the edge of the massive curved knife, which was not too significant.
Seeing this result, Ye Zhongming understood that relying on the sharpness of Sand Dance to sever this weapon was unlikely.
At this moment, Zuo Jinxuan also attacked, her soft sword transforming into a series of sword shadows aimed at Ye Zhongming's vital points. With the rainbow dress set, her defense was temporarily secure, prompting her to attack fiercely without worrying about defense, using a mutually harmful approach.
Ye Zhongming was actually very interested in the rainbow dress bloodline. He felt that this career path was distinct yet singularly focused, categorizing it as an elite profession. He also pondered who was stronger between his ten thousand layers seal blade slash and this bloodline.
If possible, Ye Zhongming really wanted to test it out.
With the disappearance of the gravitational field, it seemed to give everyone a surge of confidence. Zuo Jinxuan and The Sorrow of Strategy worked together to attack Ye Zhongming. Jas, having lost his right hand, stayed on the periphery of the battle, maintaining his bloodline transformation and watching with a slender sword in hand.
However, Ji Rui Guang saw Ye Zhongming becoming entangled; the daggers came alive again, closing in on Ye Zhongming, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
With his gun on his back, maintaining the Earth Set attributes, and wielding Sand Dance, Ye Zhongming did not rush. He was looking for a chance to counterattack.
After deflecting the curved blade of The Sorrow of Strategy, Ye Zhongming kicked Zuo Jinxuan, sending the seven-star evolver flying back, staggering several times before regaining balance.
But before Ye Zhongming could chase after her, the daggers appeared like venomous snakes, attacking from various angles. Except for the two in front, the other five used The Sorrow of Strategy as cover. Ye Zhongming couldn't dodge them all, and two grazed his body, leaving two bloody scars.
This was the first time Ye Zhongming got injured, invigorating the three opponents. The Soldier Assassinator career indeed boasted exceptional attack power.
Ye Zhongming retaliated; Sand Dance struck The Sorrow of Strategy's shoulder but only produced a ringing sound. This summoned being's body was not made of flesh and blood; only chopping attacks were effective against it, and it was not afraid of piercing attacks.
Zuo Jinxuan came again, the power of national martial arts starting to show, and two more wounds appeared on Ye Zhongming's body.
