After Jian Ying's strike, he immediately used Charge. His speed surged, and he turned into a gust of wind, arriving in an instant before an evil demon that was about to get back on its feet. The Edgeless Blade in his hand rose high overhead, the silver-white divine runes lighting up once more, and he brought it down in a powerful slash — unleashing the Sea God's Emissary's second-tier inheritance skill, Blade of Tides.
This was the most powerful of all the second-tier inheritance skills Jian Ying had obtained from the Sea God's Emissary's legacy.
Deep blue streams of water instantly coiled around the Edgeless Blade. With Jian Ying's slash, a towering water blade pierced straight through the demon's body, splitting it in two. The water blade's power extended over forty yards, and from a distance to the side, it looked as spectacular as a deep blue wall of water surging toward the sky.
-513842!
Every player caught in the path of that wall of water — whether they wore plate armor or cloth — saw their HP plummet uncontrollably, watching helplessly as it bottomed out to zero, their bodies dissolving into starlight and vanishing.
The demon struck head-on was immediately thrown into a critically wounded state, its combat power drastically reduced.
The Black Water guild members watching from all around wore expressions of indescribable terror and lingering dread.
Powerful!
Simply too powerful!
A single strike had scattered several High Great Lord-level demons, then another had critically wounded one, killing over a dozen players — even their Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights had been one-shot...
"How can he be this strong?"
The experts from the various factions observing from a distance stared at Jian Ying in bewilderment, completely unable to make sense of what they were seeing.
Even with a Tier 2 class like Jian Ying's using a burst skill, it shouldn't have been this terrifying. Simply managing to hold his own against a High Great Lord-level demon would have been impressive enough, yet here he was — critically wounding one, and without even using his burst skill. This completely shattered their understanding of what a Tier 2 class was capable of.
"Damn it — Yan Xue, tell the other demons to scatter immediately!" Yi Xiao Du Zang shouted through gritted teeth as he watched the High Great Lord-level demons being completely suppressed.
There were ten High Great Lord-level demons in total. Though they were no match for the inhuman Jian Ying in direct combat, if they spread out, Jian Ying alone couldn't handle all of them — and the rest could still slaughter Zero Wing's members.
Once Yi Xiao Du Zang gave the order, Yan Xue immediately directed the remaining demons to circle wide around Jian Ying.
But just as the demons began to move, Ke Le came crashing down right in the middle of three of them. He immediately used Righteous Roar, firmly drawing the aggro of all three High Great Lord-level demons so they couldn't so much as glance at the other players.
The three High Great Lord-level demons surged toward Ke Le. A smirk tugged at the corner of Ke Le's mouth. He took a step forward, the Tier 3 magic battleaxe in his hand blazing with silver-white divine runes, and unleashed Holy Light Slash.
With a flash of silver light, the instant the three High Great Lord-level demons made contact, it was as though they'd been struck by lightning — their arms were blown back, and they stumbled several steps in retreat. The gap in their strength was plain for all to see.
Meanwhile, the other six High Great Lord-level demons were simultaneously suppressed by the six Tier 2 class experts — Bai Qingxue, Huo Wu, Fei Ying, Ye Wumian, Ban Jiu, and Yi Dao Cheng Feng — completely unable to go after any other Zero Wing members.
Watching the High Great Lord-level demons one by one being suppressed, every faction present couldn't help but marvel.
"Who are these people?"
The members of the various factions and adventuring parties were filled with curiosity and awe toward Jian Ying and the others, and one by one they began quietly investigating their backgrounds.
Everyone was familiar with High Great Lords — guilds and adventuring parties always organized full teams to take them down. But Jian Ying and the others were each fighting one solo and even gaining the upper hand. It was simply unbelievable.
If you didn't look into it, you'd never know — and when you did, you'd be shocked.
Aside from Bai Qingxue, the rest were virtually unknown in the Divine Realm, with no earth-shattering battle records to their names. It was as if these people had simply appeared out of nowhere.
