Little Tiger had undergone countless life-and-death trials, even once facing a level seven life during the Sea King Disk incident.
Of course, at that time, Ye Zhongming was by his side, providing him with good equipment and advice, but it was also a testament to Little Tiger's strength.
In a moment of crisis, the Silver Thousand Leaf Scale Armor that Little Tiger wore suddenly shattered.
If he wanted to maintain the situation, Little Tiger would not act this way, taking the initiative to blow up his own armor. It was a decision without retreat. In such a battle, losing a primary piece of equipment could significantly affect the final outcome.
However, related to Ye Zhongming's personality, under his influence, the people of Cloud Summit had developed a habit of only seeking victory during battles. They did not contemplate what to do next; they only considered how to achieve victory in the moment.
As long as there was a glimmer of opportunity, the people of Cloud Summit would choose to take the gamble.
As the earliest partner to follow Ye Zhongming, Little Tiger was even more influenced by this style. Aside from Xia Bai, he was probably the most frenzied in battle.
Thus, he directly activated the Thousand Leaf Flutter skill of his scale armor, turning his defensive equipment into offensive equipment.
Countless silver armor pieces shot out from him in all directions, immediately striking Qinghua, who was fighting beside him. It was unclear how many metal shards hit her. At first, her own silver female armor could withstand the hits, but in just a breath, armor pieces pierced through her defenses and struck her body.
The former sacred seat of the zero commerce association coughed up blood and began to retreat.
Little Tiger's eyes flashed with fierceness, raising the Horse-Slaying Blade in his hand for another attack.
"You're not the only one who's improved!" Little Tiger shouted, and the attack, imbued with the weapon's Guangyao ability and thick blood color, came down fiercely.
This was Little Tiger's second professional skill—Blood Slash!
Xia Lei, Little Tiger, and the others returned this time, bringing back a wealth of resources obtained by Ye Zhongming from the Inner City and Linhai City. Some received six-star evolution potions, while those who did not also received compensation, with one of Little Tiger's compensations being a Class Promotion Scroll.
Everyone understood the rarity of such scrolls; even Ye Zhongming himself needed them. Little Tiger was naturally pleased to obtain one.
This was his first time using it in such a battle.
Compared to Commoner Slash, Blood Slash had faster speed, greater strength, and more power. Most importantly, this professional skill carried a kind of bloodthirsty aura, not only capable of creating a 'mind-stealing' effect on enemies but also, upon hitting a target, could disperse a portion of their internal energy, severely injuring them even without scoring a fatal blow.
It could be said that Little Tiger was far stronger now than during the Sea King Disk incident.
The reason he was willing to risk it all by blowing up his Thousand Leaf Scale Armor was not only because he believed that the boss would return with more good armor for him, but also because he had this Blood Slash trump card. He had noticed that Qinghua had been engaging in hard-hitting battles previously, so he decided to catch her off guard at this moment.
He believed that no matter how powerful Qinghua's profession was, there was a limit. To clash head-on with a combination of silver equipment and professional attack skills, how could she do so without paying a price!
Sure enough, upon seeing Little Tiger's incoming strike, Qinghua's expression changed. She had already been injured by the earlier explosion and was in a weakened state. Now, facing this obviously more powerful attack, she was uncertain of her ability to withstand it.
Qinghua gritted her teeth, her mind flashing through many scenes, and a feeling of falling from the clouds surged in her heart.
