Chapter Text:
"Cold Autumn and Warm Sun have become the second alliance leader of this book. Old Phantom thanks the brothers for their continuous support. No more words, extra chapters will start tomorrow! This chapter is a combination of two!"
Lightning continuously struck down in the valley, the tremendous force sending stones flying from the ground and mountains, resulting in chaos throughout the entire valley.
Ye Zhongming's black halo was naturally the Black Halo Shield, currently at a basic level, capable of reflecting ten percent of the damage back to the attacker.
In the dense lightning like a sea, it was impossible to completely avoid it. After being struck by a bolt of lightning, Ye Zhongming had to fall to the ground. Although he continued to move swiftly to evade, he was still hit by successive bolts of varying thickness.
At this moment, besides the blue battle armor he wore, Ye Zhongming also had the specially made Black Earth Armor. Combined with the Black Halo Shield, his defense was remarkably strong.
Each bolt of lightning that struck him caused him pain, but compared to the rocks that crumbled upon contact with the energy descending from the sky, his condition was far better.
Due to the power of the lightning, all the hairs on Ye Zhongming's body stood on end, his skin felt numb, and waves of pain surged within him.
However, he did not stop. If one were to observe closely, they would notice that although Ye Zhongming's path was winding, he was always moving towards the Iron Lock Prisoner.
It wasn't that he didn't want to charge directly; rather, doing so would make him an easy target for the countless bolts of lightning that would turn him to ashes.
The Iron Lock Prisoner kept its eyes wide open, constantly surveying Ye Zhongming's direction. Although the furious thunderclouds launched indiscriminate attacks across the valley, creating a scene of devastation, they also stirred up a lot of dust and debris. In contrast to the dozens of meters tall Iron Lock Prisoner, Ye Zhongming appeared tiny, completely engulfed in the dust. It could only sense the general direction of this human but could not track him accurately.
With a whoosh, the Ghost Gold Chains on its body lifted, and without considering anything else, the Iron Lock Prisoner swung them towards Ye Zhongming, stabbing, smashing, whipping, and slashing with all its might.
Not only was Ye Zhongming's view obstructed, but he also had very little time to react to the Ghost Gold Chains that emerged from the dust.
With a loud smack, one of the chains struck Ye Zhongming before he could dodge, causing him to fall backward with tremendous force, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop. During this, two more bolts of lightning hit him.
Cracks appeared on the specially made Black Earth Armor, and blood trickled from the corner of Ye Zhongming's mouth.
Even with his strong physique, numerous abilities, and excellent equipment, he still found himself in a completely passive position against an eighth-level life form that continuously unleashed such attacks. Perhaps it was only temporary, but it demonstrated the terrifying nature of such elite monsters.
It was hard to imagine that the overwhelming attacks now were being launched by an injured Iron Lock Prisoner.
When Ye Zhongming took damage, the Iron Lock Prisoner also felt discomfort, sensing some inexplicable harm being inflicted upon itself.
Sometimes, it would be lightning damage, and sometimes it would be a forceful impact.
This was naturally the ability of the Black Halo Shield to reflect damage. Normally, it only reflected ten percent, which the Iron Lock Prisoner wouldn't take seriously. However, now that it was severely injured, this damage was very discomforting, causing blood to seep from its untreated wounds after the effect of the Life Weight skill wore off.
The Iron Lock Prisoner quickly understood that this was the reflected damage from its own attacks, yet it did not stop. Even as the thunderclouds began to dissipate in the sky, it continued swinging the Ghost Gold Chains with no sign of slowing down.
