"What? She can fly?"
Qian Tai was startled.
He couldn't fly, but she could!
"Take this emperor's hammer!"
Zhao Qingxuan flew towards Qian Tai, her massive iron hammer erupting with powerful energy as it swung towards his head.
"Hmph, a mere woman, how dare you be so arrogant!"
"Golden Light Annihilation Slash!"
Qian Tai roared,
He unleashed a palm strike, a golden radiance forming a golden slash that met Zhao Qingxuan's great hammer head-on.
Boom!
The sharp slash collided with the wind blades, erupting in a thunderous roar.
The metal element was extremely destructive.
With a clang, the golden light pierced through the wind blades and struck the great hammer, leaving a gash on it!
However, Qian Tai himself was struck by the SS-grade wind blades emanating from the great hammer, sustaining several wounds. Though not fatal, the force of the wind blew him to the ground.
"Damn it, what's wrong with this woman? The dark aura on her is clearly a dark-element ability, but how can she unleash wind blades with wind-elemental power?"
"Does she possess two abilities?"
Qian Tai was utterly astonished.
Were there awakened individuals with dual abilities?
Just then, Zhao Qingxuan launched another assault.
"Perfect!"
Qian Tai snorted, preparing to attack, when his vision suddenly turned black!
"What's happening?"
The sudden change startled Qian Tai.
He could see nothing, as if he were plunged into the deepest night.
He could hear the sounds around him, but he couldn't see their forms!
"Calm down, calm down, this must be that woman's ability!"
Qian Tai, with his extensive combat experience, knew he couldn't lose his composure at this moment.
But at this very moment,
Zhao Qingxuan silently flew behind him.
It was indeed her ability, the B-grade dark-elemental skill, Light Deprivation, that had plunged Qian Tai into darkness.
It could temporarily strip a target of light, leaving them blinded.
"Second Commander, watch your back!"
Someone nearby shouted urgently.
On this battlefield, the Second Commander was their pillar; he absolutely could not be harmed!
Qian Tai reacted swiftly, unleashing a golden-glowing punch towards his back.
He hit nothing.
"Quick, someone protect me, I've been hit by the enemy's ability and can't see anything!"
Qian Tai yelled frantically.
But as soon as he spoke, he felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, nearly making him lose his balance.
"They can barely protect themselves, and they have time to save you?"
Zhao Qingxuan sneered.
However, it was her voice that allowed Qian Tai to pinpoint her direction. He swung another punch, only to miss again!
"Hmph! If you have the guts, fight me honorably! What kind of skill is sneakiness?"
Qian Tai was enraged.
With a thud, he received another solid hammer blow to his forehead.
The impact made his head bleed profusely.
Awakened individuals indeed possessed formidable physiques, but there were limits. Under the fierce assault of a transcendent artifact, even an SS-grade awakened individual like Qian Tai couldn't withstand it.
"Sneakiness? I'm fighting you fair and square!"
Zhao Qingxuan continued her relentless assault.
To her, it was undeniably a fair fight!
Someone near Qian Tai tried to come to his aid, but they couldn't. In fact, they were being forced to retreat by the enemy!
In a short while,
Qian Tai's thousands of men were nearly wiped out, their blood staining the battlefield, which in turn attracted a large number of zombies, turning the entire area into utter chaos.
Finally, Qian Tai's vision returned to normal, but the sight before him chilled him to the bone.
A massive horde of zombies had surrounded them from the rear, cutting off their retreat.
"I surrender, I'm willing to surrender!"
Qian Tai shouted desperately.
As the saying goes, a wise man knows when to yield; surrendering was not shameful!
"You only know to surrender now? It's too late!"
Zhao Qingxuan hovered in mid-air, her massive black wings unfurling, unleashing a dense volley of black feathers.
B-grade skill—Dark Feathers!
Qian Tai, his head bleeding, could only attempt to defend himself. Black feathers rained down, inflicting numerous wounds on him.
"Damn woman, I'll fight you to the death!"
Knowing his surrender was futile, Qian Tai went berserk. He slammed his legs on the ground and charged at Zhao Qingxuan, who was in the air. As long as he could get close, with his potent metal-elemental attacks, Qian Tai feared no one!
However, Zhao Qingxuan clearly had no intention of engaging him in a head-on confrontation. With a slight tremor of her wings, she easily evaded his attack.
With a thud,
Her great hammer struck the back of Qian Tai's head again, smashing him to the ground!
Blood spurted out!
"Argh~~~"
Qian Tai felt incredibly frustrated.
His own strength was considerable, but the opponent simply refused to fight him directly.
"Even if I die, I'll take you down with me!"
Qian Tai abandoned the idea of fighting Zhao Qingxuan.
He turned and charged towards Qi Lianyun, who was nearby, slaughtering enemies.
If he couldn't kill the one who could fly, couldn't he kill someone else?
"Light Deprivation!"
Zhao Qingxuan unleashed her skill again, plunging Qian Tai into darkness and making him lose his target.
"Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!"
Qi Lianyun, who was nearby, acted decisively. A thick vine shot out from the ground, coiling around Qian Tai like a rope.
"Argh~~~ Break for me!"
Though Qian Tai was in a miserable state, his body bleeding profusely, he refused to give up. With a roar, his strength surged as he attempted to break free from the vines and branches that bound him.
Sharp golden light erupted from his body,
The vines and branches wrapped around him began to be severed.
But at that moment,
With a thud,
Zhao Qingxuan delivered several more hammer blows to his head until he ceased moving!
"It's bad, the Second Commander is dead!"
The remaining few men brought by Qian Tai cried out in alarm, their morale collapsing further.
With pursuers in front and zombies behind, they were completely surrounded!
In mere moments,
All of them were annihilated, leaving only a handful of survivors.
Wang Luo had arrived earlier but did not intervene. Such minor matters could be resolved by them on their own!
"Zhao Qingxuan still lacks offensive skills!"
Wang Luo mused softly.
While her SSS-grade ability was indeed powerful, it was a pity she hadn't yet comprehended any offensive skills above S-grade!
In fact,
Skills above S-grade were extremely difficult to comprehend. Otherwise, Wang Luo wouldn't have only mastered one S-grade skill in his previous life after several years in the apocalypse!
Not far away,
Zhou Yiming and the others felt a chill in their hearts.
"Don't talk about mutual destruction; they barely inflicted any damage on each other!"
Liu Qi said grimly. "It seems the supplies here won't be easy to acquire!"
Zhou Yiming nodded. "It's not just the difference in numbers, but also the disparity in strength. The level of these people, who came from who knows where, is only one level higher than ordinary zombies, while the people from the Dawn Base are two levels higher than the zombies!"
"If my guess is correct, their leader must be suppressing their level progression!"
