They wondered if Liang Chuyin had also evolved to eight stars, which was why Ye Zhongming was so calm.
“Then what should we…”
The long-haired intelligence officer asked.
Ye Zhongming’s gaze shifted from the town to the surrounding area.
“You said there’s a reward for killing a core member of Cloud Peak, so there should be more of your people around, right?”
The snake-tongued man was stunned but nodded.
“Then we’ll help Liang Chuyin clean them up so she can focus on killing that Heaven Bing inside.”
Everyone was taken aback.
“Are our people nearby?”
The heads of Ying City’s intelligence and operation teams answered together. Their people had been deployed to this area to search for Liang Chuyin.
“Find everyone who isn’t one of us. Order our teams to converge here. Anyone who isn’t from Cloud Peak is to be eliminated.”
“Send a message to Cloud Peak to deploy the Exquisite Floating Ball and monitor this area thoroughly.”
Those around Ye Zhongming knew that he was angry despite his smile and apparent lack of concern for Liang Chuyin.
Soon, just a minute later, news came in that someone was rapidly approaching the town from just five kilometers away.
“Look, someone can’t hold back anymore.” Ye Zhongming smiled and dashed off in the direction of the approaching figure.
…………………………………………………………
In the starry sky, the stars began to fall.
Heaven Bing desperately tried to escape, but the sky seemed to move with him, making it impossible to avoid. Watching the shimmering points of light falling toward him, a sense of despair rose in his heart.
Would he not live to see reinforcements arrive? They should be nearby.
In this life-or-death moment, Heaven Bing also gave it his all. He forgot about reinforcements and Heaven Chou, who had left earlier. His only thought was to survive.
Something fell at his feet and exploded, releasing countless purplish black insects with smooth bodies. They began to borrow into the gaps in his mechanized armor the moment they emerged.
The insects latched onto his body inside his armor. His originally fair skin began to turn black and then purple.
At the same time, the falling star-like clusters continued to strike Heaven Bing’s body, shaking him violently with each hit.
The stars weren’t dense, hitting Heaven Bing one by one. But each carried immense force, forcing the assassin to crouch lower and lower, his feet sinking deep into the ground. He had to cover his head and bend over to protect his helmet.
Soon, Heaven Bing was completely pounded into the ground.
When Liang Chuyin’s whip lashed out again, the sky disappeared, and Heaven Bing was embedded in the ground.
But he wasn’t dead.
The black insects beneath him had all been shaken to death by the attacks. Their bodily fluids and blood flowed out from the gaps. Heaven Bing’s skin, which had turned black and purple, began to recover.
Heaven Bing struggled to crawl out of the ground. Although his armor was mostly destroyed, it retained some basic functions. However, the giant cannon was clearly unusable; its barrel was deformed.
“Heh, heh, how about that? You didn’t kill me. That ability of yours must have also taken a toll on you.”
Heaven Bing saw that Liang Chuyin continuously expended energy—both stamina and mental energy—while using this ability.
Otherwise, she would have killed him while he was being attacked.
And now, the woman was breathing heavily, a sign of excessive consumption.
“Not bad, you’ve got some skills.”
Liang Chuyin stepped back, tilting her head to drink a bottle of mental energy potion.
The fact that this Heaven Bing had survived her Moon Attraction ability was indeed beyond her expectations.
Moon Attraction was the most powerful attack of the Moon Saint Armor, requiring large amounts of mental energy. It was a burden for someone like Liang Chuyin, who wasn’t particularly strong in mental energy.
She had to replenish her mental energy to handle the upcoming battle.
Heaven Bing also needed to recover. From his armor, sharp tubes extended at the neck, waist, and feet, piercing his body and injecting some liquid. This allowed his severely damaged body to recover quickly.
However, the liquid was also the armor’s energy source. Using them now would make future repairs difficult.
But Heaven Bing couldn’t care less. Survival was his priority.
“Do you know what that was? Reverse Blood Insects. They feed energy back to me. Using that energy to defend against your attacks—how about that?”
“Not bad.”
Both of them quietly recovered, then moved simultaneously.
Liang Chuyin threw her whip above her head, and the butterfly wings tightly wrapped around the weapon. The next moment, the wings disappeared, and the whip spread into over a thousand strands.
Not energy bodies, but real whips.
Such a scene would make anyone feel like they were in a dream.
Meanwhile, Heaven Bing retreated rapidly. He wanted to escape while his armor could still provide decent speed.
But just as he retreated a dozen meters, intense pain shot through his body. Thudding sounds kept coming, each one making the pain worse.
“I forgot to tell you, all the abilities of this Moon Saint Armor have dual attacks.” Liang Chuyin raised her voice, and the whips came crashing down.
“Including this one!”
