The crowd was stunned by the sight.

Dao Wanli, empowered by his burst skill, was undeniably formidable, especially in terms of strength.

But for such immense power to be unleashed in a strike that failed to touch Ziyan Liuyun, halting abruptly a mere inch away, was simply mind-blowing.

"A protective skill?" Canglang Zhantian was quick to realize.

There were many protective skills in God's Domain, such as the Swordsman's Parry, the Berserker's Block, and so on. Mage-type classes also had corresponding skills, but these were rare. After all, mages weren't melee fighters and faced fewer close-range dangers, so such skills were exceedingly scarce.

The crowd suddenly understood.

Protective skills were rare, but with Zero Wing's resources, acquiring one for Ziyan Liuyun wouldn't be a problem.

"So, it's a protective skill. But how many times can your protection withstand?" Dao Wanli scoffed. "You're only prolonging the pain."

With that, Dao Wanli retracted and unleashed his blade again, the entire process happening in the blink of an eye.

Protective skills usually had a limited number of uses, extremely few in fact, and were only meant to save one's life at critical moments. He just needed to attack a few more times.

Shifeng, standing at a distance, shook his head.

The protective skill Ziyan Liuyun used wasn't an ordinary one. It was the Starseer's unique Legacy Skill, Juekong.

The Tier 1 Legacy Skill Juekong could isolate all attacks, lasting for five seconds. During this time, the caster couldn't move but could use magic attacks. It was a nearly invincible skill.

Dao Wanli's attacks landed time and again before Ziyan Liuyun, but never managed to harm her in the slightest. Ziyan Liuyun casually cast a Lesser Heal and a Recovery skill, her health points soaring back up, instantly restoring over six thousand points. And there was still plenty of time left on Juekong.

Taking this opportunity, Ziyan Liuyun also began chanting an incantation, her fingers rapidly inscribing a series of runes. As Juekong neared its end, Ziyan Liuyun extended her jade-like hand and pointed it at Dao Wanli, the tip of her finger bursting with boundless black light.

Tier 1 Magic, Black Coffin!

Dao Wanli sensed something amiss and was about to dodge when four pitch-black walls instantly rose from the ground beneath his feet, trapping him inside.

Ling She gnashed his teeth at this sight, because it was this very move that had led to his defeat against Ziyan Liuyun. Now that Dao Wanli had fallen for it as well, the battle's momentum would likely shift.

Black Coffin could trap a target for three seconds. Ziyan Liuyun quietly moved away, slowly beginning to chant another incantation.

This magic was even more impressive than the last. A black magic array appeared in mid-air, a tidal wave of mana converging frantically at its center.

As the Black Coffin dissipated, Dao Wanli emerged from within, only to see many black orbs appearing from the black magic array floating in the sky, one by one… soon their number accumulated to thirty-six, each the size of a basketball, covering the entire arena.

"Go!"

Ziyan Liuyun called out softly, and a sky full of black orbs hurtled towards Dao Wanli.

The attacks came from all directions. Even if he had a shield to block, black orbs would attack Dao Wanli from his sides and behind. Dao Wanli had no choice but to move his body to dodge, but he dared not move recklessly after only five steps.

Because every step Dao Wanli took caused him to lose over six hundred health points.

Dao Wanli had a total of just over 13,000 health points. One step cost him over 600 health points, meaning he would be finished after 22 steps at most.

But faced with the bombardment of 36 magic orbs, even Dao Wanli, with his impressive footwork and his claim to absolute defense, would be struck by the magic orbs. Every time a magic orb touched his body, it felt like being hit by a large iron hammer. Not only was the power immense, but it also dealt over three hundred damage. Each time he was attacked by a magic orb, he would be hit by at least five or six, resulting in at least one thousand five hundred damage points.

"Damn it!" Dao Wanli had no way out. He had to activate Blessing of Protection on himself, immediately reducing the damage by 50%, but he still couldn't hold on for long.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

"Is she really a cleric?" Everyone harbored deep doubts.

This attack method had already far exceeded their understanding of game skills. Skills in the past had been straightforward, but this kind of diversified combat method was something they were seeing for the first time.

Everyone had always thought that mage-type classes were definitely inferior to physical-type classes in PvP, and were only good for high output in dungeon runs. But this display by Ziyan Liuyun completely changed their minds.

Ziyan Liuyun's skill combinations were simply terrifying. Not only could he not run, but he also had to face a barrage of black orbs. How were they supposed to have fun playing? If it were anyone else, they would probably have been blasted to death, not even leaving behind ashes.

Not to mention ordinary players were shocked, even experts like Yan Xue, Gui Yingzi, and Canglang Zhantian felt powerless in the face of such attacks.

At this time, Yan Xue's face was gloomy, and he no longer had the composure from before.

This kind of battle could no longer be called a battle, but rather a mockery…

"Is this her true strength after entering the late stages of the seventh floor?" Yan Xue seemed to be seeing Ziyan Liuyun for the first time, and couldn't help but shift his gaze to Shifeng and Huo Wu, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

If Huo Wu and Shifeng's current strength were both above Ziyan Liuyun, then the Zero Wing Guild was truly terrifying.

"How could she become so strong!" Ling She looked at Dao Wanli, who was being bombarded, and was filled with shock. At this time, not to mention him, even their boss Canglang Zhantian was no match.

Just as everyone was marveling at Ziyan Liuyun's prowess, Dao Wanli in the arena was also depressed beyond words. If he were facing the attack of twenty black orbs, he could still handle it without getting hurt, but thirty-six had already far exceeded his limit.

At this time, Dao Wanli's intestines were about to turn green with regret.

If he had known that Ziyan Liuyun had such attack methods, he would have been beaten to death rather than fight Ziyan Liuyun.

He, a dignified top expert, was actually being played like a sandbag, without any ability to fight back. He was simply losing face.

"The Hundred Fruit Brew's effect is really good. This time, the completion rate actually reached 91%, summoning so many magic orbs at once. I really don't know how many orbs could be summoned if the skill completion rate reached 100%."

Ziyan Liuyun controlled the sky full of magic orbs and was very happy. In the past, she could summon at most 30 orbs. From 90% completion to 91%, a difference of only 1%, resulted in 6 more orbs. And the closer the skill completion rate was to the end, the greater the increase in the skill effect. A 100% skill completion rate would definitely have an amazing power.

Time slowly passed.

In less than 10 seconds, Dao Wanli, with 13,000 health points, was finally exhausted to death by the magic orbs, without any ability to resist from beginning to end.
