Blood Hand Yanwang was suddenly blocked by Ke Le. The fierce expression on his face showed not a hint of irritation; instead, he licked the corner of his mouth with a flicker of interest and charged forward with his shield raised once more.
But this time the charge was different from the head-on collision before.
Just as the two were about to collide, Blood Hand Yanwang abruptly halted. His footwork shifted in an instant, leaving behind an afterimage as he sidestepped Ke Le's charge entirely, letting the latter lunge at empty air. He then materialized beside Ke Le's flank and swung his twin-bladed battleaxe in an upward slash toward the unprotected side of the torso, drawing a silver arc of light.
The speed was so great that no one could react in time.
Clang!
A crisp ring resounded as brilliant sparks flew.
Ke Le had somehow managed to shift his body at the last possible moment, raising his single saber to intercept the blow. The force of the impact actually drove Blood Hand Yanwang back a step.
"Blood Hand Yanwang's Phantom Kill was blocked too?" Feng Qianyu, who had been about to rush in and help, stared at Ke Le in astonishment. "Just how much hidden strength does
She knew full well that Ke Le was Zero Wing's main party tank. His stats were solid and his base attributes were strong, but they absolutely shouldn't have been enough to go toe-to-toe with Blood Hand Yanwang.
Yet the reality was right in front of her, and there was no denying it.
It wasn't just Feng Qianyu who was stunned. The members of Seven Deadly Sins and Jiu Long Huang's group were equally shocked. Two top-tier experts had been held off — and with Blood Hand Yanwang pinned down, Feng Qianyu and her allies finally had room to focus entirely on dealing with the rest of Seven Deadly Sins.
Only
Both Ke Le and Banxia Qingcheng had obtained the Dragon Slayer's Legacy. The Dragon Slayer Legacy was a peculiar inheritance — it didn't grant flashy skills or magic, but it was an upgradeable lineage. If brought to its peak, it was every bit as powerful as a top-tier legacy.
The reason lay in its connection to the Dragon Force within the practitioner's body. The denser that force became, the greater the power one could unleash. Rumor held that the most powerful Dragon Slayers in history had possessed strength that surpassed even that of dragons.
Now that Ke Le and Banxia Qingcheng had become Dragon Slayers, in terms of life-tier they had already surpassed even second-class players. Base attributes, constitution, reaction speed — none of these could be matched by players of the same level. And these would only grow stronger as they acquired more
How terrifying were dragons? In the Divine Realm, they were the embodiment of destruction and death. A player who could reach that level of life-tier — their combat power was beyond imagination, far superior to those players who tried to transform themselves into demons.
Here on the Heavenly Thunder Isle, where burst skills were forbidden, the two of them had base attributes second only to Shi Feng himself, with constitutions that were arguably even stronger than his. That was precisely why Shi Feng had sent Ke Le and Banxia Qingcheng to carve out a path.
Blood Hand Yanwang and Shadow Fang were indeed miles ahead of Ke Le and Banxia Qingcheng in terms of technique. But the gap in tier, combined with the power of the Dragon Slayer Legacy, was enough for the two to put up a credible fight.
Before long, with Blood Hand Yanwang tied down, the coordinated assault of Feng Qianyu and Qinghuang was steadily thinning the ranks of Seven Deadly Sins. Breaking through the encirclement was only a matter of time.
"Jiu Long Huang, this Zero Wing guild really has been hiding quite a bit of strength. At this rate, I'd say Feng Qianyu won't even need a minute or two to smash straight through the encirclement," Si Ling remarked with a grin as he watched from afar. "Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Jiu Long Huang gritted his teeth. "Fine! As long as you can keep Feng Qianyu and her group pinned down here, I'll hand that item over to you!"
He had invited Si Ling, sure — but there was a big difference between having Blood Radiance Paradise's members fight and having Si Ling personally step in.
But at this point, he couldn't afford to be picky anymore.
