When they heard Shi Fengâs invitation, Aqua Rose and her comrades, who had remained on standby, revealed excited grins as they turned to the Mad Beast Legion before charging to meet their opponents.
When Lu Xingluo noticed that Aqua Rose and the others were joining the fray, he glanced at Shi Feng with a sneer.
âBlack Flame, I suppose you want to rely on your people to cause chaos while you pick off the Mad Beast Legion members, one by one?â Smiling, Lu Xinguo continued, âUnfortunately, youâre only digging your own graves!â
Although the battle array allowed players to fight higher-tiered opponents, it was truly a weapon to use against large groups.
Shi Fengâs decision to take on the Mad Beast Legion by himself had been the wisest decision. If Aqua Rose and Zero Wingâs vanguard joined the battle, theyâd only be a liability, not an asset. Once the two armies truly clashed, chaos would rule this battlefield, and amidst such chaos, players couldnât rely on AOE Skills or Spells. A single misfire could kill oneâs allies.
Without AOE Skills or Spells, even peak experts would find the Mad Beast Legions challenging in a one-on-one, not to mention Aqua Rose and the others, who were only Flowing Water and Refinement Realm experts.
However, Brilliant Python realized that the atmosphere around Zero Wingâs members felt odd.
Whatâs up with these people? As Brilliant Python watched Zero Wingâs players charge forth, he was confused.
Aqua Rose and the others didnât look at him and his teammates like they were powerful foes. Rather, their expressions seemed like they had just found the perfect practice targets.
âIgnore them! They are fools if they think they can defeat us in our own battle array!â Ink Rain shouted to her team. She then turned her sights to Fire Dance, radiating intense killing intent.
Her previous clash with Fire Dance was still fresh in her mind.
Her strength was only second to the Mad Beast Legionâs commander and vice commander, yet someone with weaker combat standards had defeated her. It would be hard not to remember such a humiliating defeat.
Although she didnât know how Fire Dance had increased her Life Rating so drastically last time, she had the battle array. She was going to use this chance to toy with the other Assassin.
Ink Rainâs figure blurred as she dashed forward, only taking a moment to reach her opponent. She thrust her blade at Fire Dance, who ran at the forefront of Zero Wingâs team.
As Ink Rainâs dagger shot forth, she split into nine identical copies.
When Happy Art saw this from one of the VIP rooms, she couldnât help but gasp.
âThatâsâŠNine Phantoms, One Kill!â Happy Art was astonished to see Ink Rainâs nine phantoms.
Nine Phantoms, One Kill was a Bronze Combat Technique and one of the most powerful the Thirteen Thrones had obtained from Bronze Legacy Tablets. With a fraction of the combat technique, a Void Realm expert would be unrivaled among their peers. Had Happy Art fully mastered Nine Phantoms, One Kill, she couldâve even fought Sand Bone, one of the Flower of Seven Sinsâ senior cadre members, without losing ground.
Unfortunately, despite the extensive time Happy Art had dedicated to learning the combat technique, she had failed to make any progress. It was simply too complex for her to comprehend and execute. Not even a Domain Realm expert was guaranteed to learn the technique.
Why wouldnât Happy Art be surprised to see that Ink Rain execute Nine Phantoms, One Kill, despite the difficulties of learning the technique?
However, Happy Art didnât know that the battle arrayâs boons were the only reason that Ink Rain could execute Nine Phantoms, One Kill. Without those effects, she wouldnât be able to use the combat technique, either.
âInk is taking this too seriously. Sheâs actually relying on such a forbidden move,â Cloudy Mountain, the Mad Beast Legionâs vice commander, muttered with a frown.
Nine Phantoms, One Kill was Ink Rainâs greatest trump card. They had wanted her to reserve this move for a Domain Realm expert, but now that she had used it, word would spread.
âForget it. Just let her be. She might be able to take that final step after exacting her revenge,â Startled Wind said, chuckling.
Ink Rain was a prodigy he had set his sights on, and he had been surprised to learn that Fire Dance had actually defeated the young woman.
Unfortunately, that defeat had maddened Ink Rain with thoughts of revenge. It had severely impacted her development.
If Ink Rain could avenge her prior defeat and clear it from her mind, she would have a high chance of reaching the Domain Realm.
Just when everyone assumed that Ink Rainâs attack had been successful, a metallic clang echoed across the battlefield, stupefying the spectators.
âWhatâs going on?â
They had only seen Fire Dance lightly swing her short sword before Ink Rainâs phantoms had disappeared. Ink Rain stumbled a step back, her dagger vibrating violently as if she had struck an adamantine wall.
âWho is she?â Happy Art muttered as she stared at Fire Dance in surprise.
Ink Rainâs assault could likely even kill Domain Realm experts, yet Fire Dance had so casually nullified the attack. Moreover, Fire Danceâs Strength was clearly superior to Ink RainâsâŠ
Yet, Happy Artâs surprise was nothing compared to the shock Starlinkâs members felt.
Ink Rain was the core of one of the battle arrays, and the boost to her physique and Basic Attributes was even greater than what her comrades had received. With this boost, she shouldnât have any issues contending with Tier 3 players of the same level, yet her Strength was no match for Fire DanceâsâŠ
Before Ink Rain could recover from her momentary shock, Fire Dance swung Thousand Transformations once more.
As the short sword sliced through the air, countless blades bit into Ink Rain, giving the woman no room to dodge.
Peng!
This time, Ink Rain felt as if a hammer had struck her hand, leaving it completely numb. She was forced to stumble two steps backward, as well.
Seeing the weakness in Ink Rainâs defense, Fire Dance didnât hold back as she continued to attack the enemy Assassin.
She continued to push Ink Rain back, forcing the woman to defend herself. The Mad Beast Legion members, who were preparing to face off against Zero Wingâs members, were stunned.
They had never expected to find yet another powerful player among Zero Wingâs members.
Before anyone could recover from their shock, however, the battle between Zero Wingâs vanguard and the Mad Beast Legion stunned the spectators once more.
The clash hadnât ended as everyone had expected. They had expected the Mad Beast Legionâs charge to shatter Zero Wingâs formation. After all, every Mad Beast Legion member was a Refinement Realm Expert, and they were all empowered by their battle arrays. They should be able to annihilate Zero Wingâs vanguard in a few moves.

However, Zero Wingâs vanguard repeated pushed back the powerful Mad Beast Legion, and even Brilliant Python, one of the battle arrayâs cores, suffered a worse fate than Ink Rain at Gentle Snowâs hands.
As if swatting a helpless fly, every one of Gentle Snowâs casual swings with her greatsword sent Brilliant Python flying five or six yards away.
âWhat is going on?â
Lu Xingluoâs smile froze as he watched his Mad Beast Legion suffer. Baffled, he watched Fire Dance and Gentle Snow.
Even the various spectating powers gaped in shock. They simply couldnât process what was happening before their very eyes.
