Chapter 1174 - 1040: Shift in Style

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1040: Shift in Style

Qu Jianlei’s team, although ambushed, reacted quite swiftly.

They are all battle-hardened Awakened; not just Supreme, but even Flower Scorpion, Bentley, and others, haven’t they all fought their way out of countless crowds?

After the Paranoid slashed the Gold Attribute Supreme, the battle with the Wood Attribute Supreme was also extremely fierce.

All along, Awakened using techniques in battle seems like a necessary choice, but it’s really not the case.

Even if the awakening process fails, they become Modified Warriors, physically strong and well-built; the majority of Awakened have excellent physical qualities.

After the Paranoid activated Gold Attribute affinity, even a large-caliber machine cannon couldn’t break their defense, showing the robustness of his body.

But there’s a problem: killing opponents in close combat demands very high body techniques.

For long-distance attacks, techniques can be controlled with micro operations, but in close combat... at the Supreme realm, no one’s body techniques are poor.

As long as the opponent holds onto thoughts of escape, the attacker’s close combat can only be a passive chase.

No matter how sharp the attack is, what’s the point if you can’t hit the opponent?

After learning Instant Flash, the Paranoid seriously pondered how it could be used in battle.

Coincidentally, he also envied the boss’s aggressive killing with cold weapons, feeling it was particularly domineering.

What’s especially important is that he doesn’t need weapons—his own body is the weapon for executing enemies.

The Wood Attribute Supreme had more than one layer of armor on his body since he could prepare an ambush; naturally, he had time to wear armor.

However, regrettably, the Paranoid is no ordinary Supreme; with one hand chop, he broke through several layers of his armor.

Wood Attribute Awakened usually balance offense and defense, both defensive and offensive levels are not inferior.

The effect of this strike made him quite surprised; was the defense about to be breached?

But none of that counts as much. What surprised him more was: what had happened, how did the opponent get so close all of a sudden?

Zoning out on the battlefield is a major taboo, yet... could he help it?

As a dignified Supreme, he had never encountered such body techniques or secret techniques!

Fortunately, he was also battle-seasoned; he was only stunned for a brief moment before his body flickered, simultaneously shouting.

"Careful, the opponent’s body te..."

His reaction wasn’t slow, but that brief moment of zoning out was already deadly enough.

The Paranoid’s combat experience in Qu Jianlei’s team was considerable as well; he slashed the second hand chop without hesitation.

This chop directly cut the opponent into two parts, as the chest was split open, the words only half shouted.

At this moment, Qu Jianlei executed another Sight Deprivation, targeting the Earth Attribute Supreme.

With Gold, Wood, and Fire Attributes being targeted, among the remaining Supremes, Earth Attribute was noticeably tougher to deal with,

After Qu Jianlei performed Sight Deprivation, he drew out a hand axe and instantly flashed to the Earth Attribute’s front, raising his hand for a chop.

A muffled sound echoed, um... indeed quite solid!

Bentley released two Thunder Dragons, still with surplus energy, seeing the boss and Paranoid both using Instant Flash attacks, his mind moved.

The next moment, he also performed two Instant Flashes, arriving beside the Water Attribute Supreme.

The Thunder Ram Horn was already stowed away; appearing in his hand now were two snake-shaped cones.

These were weapons custom-made by Qu Jianlei when Bentley first awakened, designed to better harness the Power of Thunder.

But now, these two are newly crafted by Qu Jianlei, not only highly conductive but exceptionally sharp with formidable armor-piercing ability.

Given Bentley’s current cultivation level, close combat is unnecessary as the Electromagnetic Attribute is inherently fast.

Yet, he still had the boss help craft several snake-shaped cones; his defense is fragile, absolutely not allowing close combat to become a weakness.

Now is indeed his best opportunity to strike.

The Water Attribute Supreme had originally fixed his gaze on Bentley, in his eyes, this A-level guy was even more troublesome than other Supremes.

Electromagnetic A-level... being taken seriously is understandable, not to mention his Water Attribute which has great restraint capabilities.

Just as the force field collaboration for the Five Elements shattered, he could concentrate on dealing with opponents.

However, at the moment he executed a finger technique, he found the opponent’s figure flashed, disappearing completely!

He dodged, then watched in the direction where the opponent flashed, only to be dumbfounded: no one was there!

Not good! His brain instinctively sounded the alarm, but regretfully, it was already too late.

In the next instant, he just felt numb in his back, a powerful electric current surged through his body.

The Water Attribute Supreme himself actually wore Lightning Protection Armor!

But it was useless; Lightning Protection Armor only attracts and insulates from lightning, who would have thought the opponent would directly output Electromagnetic Power up close?

With the Flying Dragon right on his face, how could he win?

The armor worn by the Water Attribute is more than just one layer, and the snake-shaped cones are sharp weapons, not Divine Artifacts.

Moreover, Bentley’s cultivation level limits him; breaking the defense is impossible.

But he doesn’t need to break defense; directly outputting Electromagnetic Force on the Ice Armor suffices.

Single combat, he actually rendered the Water Attribute Supreme stiff, showcasing the formidable power of the Electromagnetic Attribute.

And the boss is truly experienced, electrifying the opponent for over a second before swiftly dodging.

Sure enough, the Water Attribute Supreme barely adapted to the stiffness, then kicked out with a rebound leg.

The movements were very stiff, but the speed was not slow; it was evident that this person’s skills were not bad.

Both were fragile, but at this moment the supreme had armor and high cultivation level; if the veteran took this kick, he definitely couldn’t withstand it.

Almost simultaneously, two golden radiances flashed by, surprisingly from a Gold Attribute A-level’s attack in the enemy team.

Bentley instinctively dodged, actually avoiding attacks from two people; rich combat experience truly pays off.

These two Golden Arrow Skills came with tracking, but ultimately were fired by an A-level.

After Bentley dodged, he executed two close-range instant flashes, shaking off the Golden Arrow Skills, and pierced towards the Water Attribute Supreme again.

This one’s rigidity hadn’t passed yet; the body stiffened again, angrily shouted, "Too too too..."

He really wanted to say it’s too bullying, but no way, the spasming muscles were beyond his control.

But the Gold Attribute A-level was shocked at this sight, "Actually... dodged?"

Among Awakened of the same cultivation level, he was renowned for his strong micro-operation skills.

He was very confident against attacking the equally fragile Electromagnetic A-level, never imagining he’d fail right before his eyes.

At that moment, his vision blacked out, and his heart was shocked, "Dark attribute... there’s actually a dark attribute!"

He already knew that among the attacked enemies, there was likely a Dark Attribute Supreme Awakened.

But what he’s encountering now is sight deprivation, clearly not from the Supreme, and not even from an A-level.

——The deprivation effect was very poor, only barely better than nothing!

It didn’t have much impact on him physically, but the psychological effect was too great.

The opposing team had no more than a dozen people, not to mention Electromagnetic Attribute, there were actually two Dark Attributes!

What kind of team have we ambushed?

At this moment, Qu Jianlei wielded a hand axe, launching a critical hit against the Earth Attribute Supreme.

A series of muffled sounds, making the opponent roll on the ground, utterly defenseless.

He wasn’t without other sharper attack means, but needed to keep an eye on the whole situation, this kind of critical hit was more effortless.

However, in the next moment, he furrowed his brow, "There’s actually a Wood Attribute Supreme?"

Among the ambush crowd, there was indeed one Supreme for each Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, but now, a supreme aura rose from afar!

Maybe it’s the Supreme responsible for vigilance on the other side? Qu Jianlei began to have some speculations.

But releasing aura from so far away; such poor combat experience, right?

Such thoughts flashed by, he didn’t continue to dwell on them, instead freed a hand, instantly performing a finger technique.

Still sight deprivation, targeting the Water Attribute Supreme.

This Water Attribute had been struck twice by serpentine cone electricity, the body still uncontrollable, unexpectedly vision blacked out.

Just as he was shocked, a shout came from afar, "Stop, this is a misunderstanding!"

The one shouting was the Wood Attribute Supreme rushing over; already perceiving his side’s situation using spiritual power.

It really can’t continue fighting, thus decisively calling out, "We can compensate for the losses!"

However, it was really a bit late; already fought like this, who would believe it’s a misunderstanding?

At this moment, Qinghu finally freed her hands; she’d been busy helping her team equip armor.

Initially, the armor equipping went smoothly, but ever since everyone began using instant flash, it became... hard to manage!

Instant flash to evade attacks was very useful, but helping equip armor... the difficulty increased.

Qinghu tried twice, unable to help Bentley smoothly equip armor, eventually decided not to bother.

Anyway, Mu Yu was simultaneously dodging and diligently equipping armor for everyone.

Qinghu recognized that dealing with the Water Attribute Supreme wasn’t only Bentley’s task but also involved her boss!

She immediately reacted to what it meant, so she also instant flashed, arriving beside the opponent.

Qinghu didn’t use a hand blade like the Paranoid, but drew a Long Blade.

This was what she requested from the boss two days ago—after learning instant flash, shouldn’t she prepare close combat weapons?

The Paranoid could use a hand blade, but Qinghu felt it was too brutal, and her maneuverability was slightly inferior.

So she’d rather have two Long Blades, just like the boss, using blades to kill enemies!

Honestly, her Saber Technique... wasn’t great, and her strength was slightly less.

Qinghu cut three times before breaking the opponent’s defense, and the blade was damaged.

Without hesitation, she switched to another blade, cutting half of the opponent’s body with one stroke, followed by another cut, finally severing the body into two!

Immediately afterward, a line of spiritual power came into her mind, "o(*^▽^*)┛"

The spiritual power wasn’t sent by anyone else but Granny Jia at the Ice Sealed Fire Attribute Supreme!

She too used instant flash, but only to dodge various attacks, not advancing to attack the Fire Attribute.

This was her self-positioning; elderly not known for strength, her expertise wasn’t close combat either.

Now she had firmly suppressed the Fire Attribute Supreme, also using ice arrows to shatter the opponent’s protective armor.

But wanting to kill the enemy, probably still required some time; upon seeing Qinghu succeeding, decisively sent a request.
