Ye Zhongming was not keen on using this gun skill, not only because of its many restrictions, but also because it was troublesome. The three flower essence blood bullets consumed mental power, essence blood, and level bullets, and as Ye Zhongming's evolution level increased, the consumption also grew. If it were just the mental power and level bullets, that would be fine. However, he still didn’t quite understand what essence blood was; he only knew that excessive consumption could weaken his body.
As for whether this weakness was just temporary physical stamina or permanent life force, he really wasn’t sure. With such concerns, Ye Zhongming was extremely cautious when using it.
Besides this, the requirement to not use level firearms was another reason Ye Zhongming wasn't fond of the skill. His space was limited, and every inch was precious; it wouldn't make sense to store some firearms for backup while discarding magic crystals or valuable materials.
But today was different. In order to kill this Holy Maiden who had come to him voluntarily, Ye Zhongming could use any means necessary.
Choosing the three flower essence blood bullet was not only because it could better connect with the Myriad Layer Body Blade Slash attack, but also because it was convenient to operate with one hand.
Another crucial reason was that the three flower essence blood bullet had bloodline attributes attached to its attack, and Ye Zhongming's bloodline, the hell messenger, was of the dark attribute, which naturally opposed the light, thus it should have an offensive bonus against this dawn holy maiden.
Of course, the Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun could also be used, but it was hard to say which was more powerful at this moment, the synergy between the gun and the three flower essence blood bullet skill.
Three green-level bullets flew out of the gun's muzzle and, under the effect of muzzle space folding, almost instantly reached the front of the holy maiden.
At that moment, there was no swirling wind wall in front of the holy maiden, nor was there a water flow shield emitted from the crescent-shaped halberd in her hand!
Thanks to the habits formed from hunting zombies, Ye Zhongming aimed the shot at the holy maiden's head, but in the moment of activation, he was struck by starlight, causing the gun to shift slightly, so the three bullets aimed for her chest instead.
The Guardian of the Sacred Pool or Ling Kun, they were receiving the attack and had already turned their gaze back to the battlefield. At that moment, their breaths were almost held.
Although they had rushed down from the city wall to kill this holy maiden, when the moment might finally arrive, an unbelievable mindset surged into their hearts.
At least before this, they had never thought of killing a figure like the holy maiden. At most, they had only considered trying to take down the three giants of the Temple of Dawn.
Pfft!
This sound was immensely beautiful for King Zun and the Guardian of the Sacred Pool, for it was the sound of breaking through flesh.
They indeed saw the color of blood.
All three bullets hit the holy maiden.
With a four against two, especially in the case of Yangos being injured, saying it was four against one would not be an exaggeration. Not to mention hitting the target; claiming to have killed the target would not be an exaggeration either.
However, how could everything be so easy?
There was indeed blood splattering, and it was indeed the blood of the dawn holy maiden, yet the three flower essence blood bullets did not kill her.
At this moment, the holy maiden’s chest was already soaked in blood, but she did not fall.
“Indeed, it is an evil existence, carrying filthy and disgusting energy.”
The holy maiden's white robe moved without wind, and the three bullets were expelled from her body.
“Dawn Divine Armory?!”
King Hongxiang, who got up from the ground after being knocked far away, had also avoided the remaining starlight.
When he saw the white robe block the three bullets that should have been fatal, he finally recalled a legend about the Temple of Dawn in his mind.
