Beams of reddish-gold childlike light bloomed, accurately striking the twelve Sovereigns in the arena. Except for the beam aimed at the Eternal Night Sovereign, which was enveloped and extinguished by thick, deep darkness, all other Sovereigns were hit without exception.

Including Steven Simpson and the Cowboy Locke, the spiritual power within the Sovereigns' bodies instantly went out of control, and fleshy sinews bulged beneath their skin.

The cells in their bodies seemed to come alive, possessing their own thoughts, and their self-awareness instantly crumbled. Low, rumbling noise echoed in their minds: "Do not resist unnecessarily, do not resist unnecessarily..."

The Sovereigns of the evil faction were caught off guard.

Subduing eleven Sovereigns with one move, this was the bewitching eye of the Devil Eye, an eye that even the Fear King could not resist.

"Ka ka..."

Fu Qingyang grabbed a heavy black iron box from his inventory. The box sprang open with the sound of mechanical gears whirring, revealing twelve flying swords arranged inside.

The twelve flying swords whistled out, automatically dividing into two groups, shooting towards the two Wind Mages: Seraph and Fury of the Hurricane.

This was Qian Gongzi's latest research, combining sword control techniques with the principle of 'skill approaching the Dao,' capable of taking a person's head from a hundred meters away.

The fragile Wind Mages could not avoid his swords, nor could they withstand the sharp sword Qi contained within the twelve flying swords.

Bang...!

A gunshot echoed within the arena.

The moment the gunshot rang out, the Devil Eye King's head exploded, splattering bones, flesh, and brain matter.

His body swayed for a moment before collapsing with a crash, and the reddish-gold devil pupils on his body immediately closed.

The Ancient Wargod with bronze skin and iron bones perished in the gunfire.

No one saw the trajectory of the bullet. It seemed to traverse the void, directly hitting the Devil Eye King, even though the space was sealed.

In the distance, Cowboy Locke blew the smoke from the muzzle of his gun. He had recovered from the Devil Eye's "Bewitching Eye" control in time.

Losing the gaze of the Bewitching Eye, the enemy Sovereigns immediately woke up. One Chaos Sovereign immediately reached out, twisting the trajectory of the flying swords, but the usually effective "Chaos" ability failed.

At the critical moment, Seraph and Fury of the Hurricane erected flowing walls of wind in front of them.

The flying swords crashed into the wind walls one after another. Seraph's wind wall shattered into a gentle breeze, and he was pierced through the chest by the last flying sword.

Fury of the Hurricane's wind wall, however, stood firm, defusing the crisis.

Seraph looked down at his chest, where blood gushed out, but it quickly stopped. The powerful life force of an Level 8 Sovereign was self-repairing, and the wound healed rapidly.

At his level, even if his physical body was weak, he could ignore most physical damage. Unless his head was directly severed, even a piercing of the heart would not kill him.

Palace Master of the Slaughtering Palace took out a small pot with mottled bronze-green patterns, gently stroking it to release ripples of golden light.

The golden light swept over the Devil Eye King's corpse, bone fragments, brain tissue, and blood instantly flowed backward, reassembling.

This was the Destiny stage's active skill - Resurrection.

The object of Resurrection could be a living body, or a non-living body, could be matter, or soul.

As long as something existed in reality, the Destiny could resurrect it.

Limited to three times, and not a true resurrection in the real sense, each resurrection could only exist for a quarter of an hour, after which it would die again.

But the Demon Refining Pot turned resurrection into reality, a true revival from death.

However, there was only one chance.

The Devil Eye King was resurrected, opened his eyes, touched his forehead, and barely managed to twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Can't fight, can't fight at all. That Cowboy old man can one-shot me, and he can one-shot any of you."

If he were at the peak of Level 8, relying on the Bewitching Eye that could affect even demigods, he might be able to compete with that peak Sovereign.

But now, although a single skill was maxed out, his basic attributes were too far behind.

Fu Qingyang and the others exchanged glances, a chill running down their spines. Although they certainly had defensive items among them, unless they were high-quality defensive items at the Sovereign stage, they would not be able to withstand Cowboy Locke's shots.

And high-quality defensive items at the Sovereign stage were beyond even what Qian Gongzi could obtain. Although the Boss had a cloak, and the Palace Master had administrator privileges, if they couldn't defend against Cowboy Locke, they would be sitting ducks.

One shot per person, shots that erased distance, could render most defensive items useless.

Zhang Yuanqing's heart grew heavy, and he clearly recognized the power of a peak Sovereign for the first time.

The last time he killed Cai Qinhe, he possessed three demigod-level powers and sent old Cai back to The Way of the Extraordinary in a crushing manner. Peak Sovereigns were no different from stray dogs.

At this moment, the high and mighty Cowboy Locke raised his gun again, aiming at the Devil Eye King.

This peak Sovereign realized that the Devil Eye King was the greatest threat among the enemies.

At the crucial moment, Panxi Edison grabbed an item from his inventory and threw it towards Cowboy Locke.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out, echoing in the arena.

A silver trajectory flashed past, shooting towards the Devil Eye King's head.

There was a trajectory! The Devil Eye King tilted his head slightly, letting the bullet graze his cheek, exploding into a shallow pit behind him.

Panxi Edison said in a deep voice: "Leave Cowboy Locke to me, you guys do your own thing."

He had just used the Merchant's "Transaction" ability to forcefully buy and sell Cowboy Locke's "Distortion" ability. The bullet could eliminate the trajectory because Cowboy Locke had distorted the rule that "bullet flight requires distance", directly causing the bullet to hit the target.

Huff... Zhang Yuanqing's heart, which had been hanging in the air, settled down. If they couldn't restrain Cowboy Locke's shots, they wouldn't even have room to delay.

As long as they could delay, they had a chance to survive.

Once the President sensed something was wrong, he would definitely try to break through the entanglement and come to The Way of the Extraordinary for rescue.

Belus in the fish tank screamed, "We should defend, not attack, defense is the only way to buy time."

Her meaning was also that of Ke Li Si.

As the only Siren in the lawful faction, with no seawater or sea monsters around her, she had a lot of brute force. She was under the greatest pressure.

At this moment, the lightning-attribute spiritual power in the air rapidly condensed, and six water tank-thick pillars of lightning descended from the sky, engulfing everyone in terrifying lightning strikes.

A lightning mage at the Saint stage could only summon tree-like lightning, but these were lightning pillars, terrifying lightning pillars.

Wei Ni immediately spread her arms, using herself as a lightning rod, attracting the descending lightning pillars.

But the ones who attacked were two Level 8 Lightning Mages. She only attracted half of the lightning pillars, and the other half inevitably fell on her teammates.

The Devil Eye King, Fu Qingyang, and others hurriedly scattered.

Zhang Yuanqing's reaction speed was the slowest. The lightning strikes exceeded his limit reaction, so he simply didn't dodge. He opened his inventory, took out the Thunder Gauntlets and Thunder Armor, and threw them into the sky.

The lightning pillars struck the two Saint-quality items, like a water column being cut off, and the lightning-attribute spiritual power was frantically absorbed.

But the two items only lasted for a moment. The charging reached its limit, and they could no longer absorb the power of lightning. The lightning pillars passed through them, striking straight at Zhang Yuanqing.

Taking advantage of the time created by the two items, Zhang Yuanqing grabbed the Purple Thunder Shield and raised it to the sky.

"Boom!"

Zhang Yuanqing held up the Purple Thunder Shield, his knees sinking, kneeling on the ground.

But he withstood the attack without any danger.

The Purple Thunder Shield was covered with cracks, but the purple halo covering the shield surface reached two-thirds of the area.

One lightning strike directly filled the Purple Thunder Shield by 50%.

"Whoo..."

A shrill wind howled, and wind blades, like arrows covering the sky on a battlefield, slashed down like a rainstorm, covering all aspects, giving them no room to dodge.

Here it comes again? Zhang Yuanqing, who had just defused the lightning strike, felt a chill in his heart. With such a wide area of attack, he could only summon the Violet-Gold Suit.

It was only the second round of engagement, and he was already forced to use his trump card.

Without taking out the Violet-Gold Suit against Sovereign-level wind blades, death was certain.

Fu Qingyang struggled to grab a half-person-tall stone tablet from his inventory, and with veins popping on his forehead, he threw it in front of everyone.

"Dong!"

The earth shook violently, and the earth vein spiritual power formed a semi-circular defensive barrier.

Bang bang bang... Countless wind blades shattered on the barrier, causing the earth-attribute spiritual power, known for its thickness, to show obvious shaking, but it held.

Fu Qingyang's body trembled violently, as if he were bearing an unimaginable weight. He gritted his teeth, straightened his spine, and refused to bend his knees even a bit.

This stone tablet was an item of the Earth Monster profession, Sovereign stage, intermediate quality, but it was already the first defensive item Fu Qingyang obtained after becoming the Chief Holder of the Five Elements Alliance.

His foundation and background were too shallow. Most of the items and materials of the Five Elements Alliance were controlled by the Nine Elders. To squeeze oil from the Nine Elders, he had to engage in long-term games and struggles.

And he had only been a power holder for two short months.

Seeing this, the two Chaos Sovereigns immediately took action, twisting the rules, erasing the trajectory of the wind blades, trying to penetrate the defensive barrier.

However, the overwhelming wind blades still traversed a hundred meters in an instant, and crashed themselves onto the khaki-yellow barrier. The space inside the barrier could not be erased.

Of course, it couldn't be erased. The stone tablet formed a force field defense, not a thin layer of barrier.

Sovereign-level items were not so easy to find loopholes in.

Seeing that the wind blades could not break through the defense, Fury of the Hurricane snorted lightly, and summoned a semi-transparent crown woven from air currents, and placed it on his head.

"Wind King's Crown." Wei Ni's tone was heavy, and she explained very quickly: "This item can rank in the top ten in the Wind Mage profession, excluding rule-based ones."

A veteran Level 8 Sovereign, taken out individually, was an invincible existence.

Fury of the Hurricane opened his arms, and the air currents around him rapidly condensed, forming a strong wind.

The air currents condensed, compressed, condensed again, and compressed again. After accumulating power for a dozen seconds, a turbid, giant wind blade took shape, about thirty meters long.

Fury of the Hurricane pushed it gently.

The turbid, super-giant wind blade shot out, carrying a terrifying hurricane, and crashed into the khaki-yellow barrier with a force of destruction.

The semi-circular force field suddenly dented, like a balloon poked by a needle, but this balloon did not explode immediately, but stubbornly held on.

In contrast, the giant wind blade rapidly dissipated, shrinking from thirty meters to ten meters.

In the distance, Fury of the Hurricane, with the air current crown on his head, slammed his hands together. The air currents roared and poured into the wind blade, replenishing it like a fresh force, and expanding it again to thirty meters.

During this process, the other Sovereigns of the evil faction did not take action, but watched coldly, observing the methods of Fu Qingyang and the others.

Team battles were not brawls, and indiscriminate bombing with various skills was an inefficient method.

True team battles were mutual probing, until one side lost its trump cards and was completely seen through, and then a fatal blow was delivered.

The wind blade and the khaki-yellow barrier struggled for a few seconds, and the latter finally couldn't hold on. With a "buzz", it dissipated into invisible force waves.

The khaki-yellow spiritual power on the surface of the stone tablet converged, becoming dim and dull.

The next time it could release a skill was after a quarter of an hour.

Panxi Edison immediately threw out two white feather fans, stirring up a gust of wind, forming two wind walls in front of the wind blade.

As a peak Sovereign of the Merchant profession, he had no shortage of items and consumables.

Edison didn't expect to block the wind blade with two feathers. His move was just to buy time for his companions to dodge, responding to the situation.

Even Sovereign-quality items can't hold, the wind wall can't block it either...

Zhang Yuanqing immediately looked at the Devil Eye King and said urgently: "King, hit me."

Without any hesitation, the Devil Eye King landed a straight punch on the shield surface.

Bang!

The Violet-Gold Shield, already covered with cracks, instantly exploded, turning into countless liquid metal fragments, and Zhang Yuanqing flew out.

At this time, the wind blade did indeed penetrate the two layers of wind walls and slash towards Fu Qingyang and the others.

Zhang Yuanqing, who was flying backward, detached his spirit body and swept towards the wind blade, blocking it in front of everyone, while those granular liquid metals rapidly gathered, forming a brand new shield in his spirit body's hand.

The shield surface was covered with a layer of violet-gold halo.

Energy was full!

Zhang Yuanqing held the shield forward and activated the skill of the Violet-Gold Shield.

Buzz!

A huge violet-gold shield-shaped light wall formed, welcoming the giant wind blade.

A sneer came from a distance.

The air currents frantically condensed, increasing the size of the wind blade to fifty meters, almost the radius of the entire arena.

Sovereign items couldn't defend against his wind blade, and a mere Saint dared to show his presence in such a situation?

Courting death!
