At the same time, a layer of Blood Qi surged around Man Lie’s body, tightly enveloping him like a thick layer of blood Armor, warding off all attacks!
This layer of Blood Qi was a technique that Man Lie could only use when he was on the brink of death, with extremely powerful effects that instantly saved his life.
Man Lie turned his head and shot an angry glare at Huang Yi before swiftly taking large strides and fleeing into the distance! His strength now greatly diminished, staying would mean death, so fleeing was his only option.
"Quick, chase him!" Dugu Lengcang said as he swung his long sword, releasing a freezing skill, sending a Sword Qi howling through the air with an extremely cold breath, striking Man Lie and instantly rising a layer of ice, about to freeze him solid.
However, when the ice touched the layer of Blood Qi around Man Lie, it melted at a visible rate, turning into steam and dissipating into the air as if it had met a layer of Magma, unable to produce any freezing effect!
The life-saving capability of Man Lie’s layer of Blood Qi was unparalleled, firmly protecting him as he dashed towards the distance, soon to vanish into the depths of the night, leaving the battlefield behind.
"I decree, Man Lie—dead!" Just at that moment, Huang Yi’s emotionless voice soared to the heavens, initiating Judgment on the fleeing Man Lie!
"Boom!" A massive bolt of Thunder and Lightning struck down from the Starry Sky, lighting the world in an eerie white before swiftly splitting into two and striking both Man Lie and Huang Yi!
The next moment, both men were forcibly pulled up into the sky by the Lightning, leaving the original battlefield behind, and only Dugu Lengcang remained below.
Dugu Lengcang’s face was blank as he stood motionless, looking up at Huang Yi and Man Lie in the sky, unsure how to intervene. He had seen videos of Huang Yi at Wind Forest Stronghold on the forums, where Huang Yi had used this same technique to kill Barbaric Hammer! Now witnessing it firsthand, the shock was even more intense!
This skill was like divine retribution, with Huang Yi embodying fate itself, whoever he judged would be struck by lightning! Not even a boss like Man Lie could escape!
Now, the situation had turned into a one-on-one duel between Huang Yi and Man Lie, with only death releasing the loser from the Void Battlefield, cutting off any outside interference.
Man Lie stopped running. Trembling, he gripped his colossal Split Hammer, shaking uncontrollably as blood rained from the sky like droplets, falling to the earth below. He swallowed hard, clenching his teeth as he looked at Huang Yi not far away, his eyes emitting a fierce, desperate aura. His son too had perished by this same skill. Now he was on the same desperate path, about to die by the same skill of the same man as his child had.
"Let’s end this now!" Huang Yi said as he raised the huge Barbaric Hammer and charged forward!
Huang Yi’s advance was incredibly fast, against a backdrop of the Starry Sky, with stars rapidly retreating around him, he raced across the Bright Moon, forming a swiftly advancing silhouette.
Man Lie, however, bent his towering frame, gasping heavily. He was truly spent, even swinging the hammer in his hands had become difficult!
Below, on the ground, Dugu Lengcang tightly gripped his long sword, looking up at the battle in the Starry Sky.
The three participants in this battle each faced it with different demeanors.
"Clang!" Huang Yi’s hammer, full of fury, was barely blocked by Man Lie’s hammer, emitting a broad clangor of metal on metal!
Man Lie took a step back; Huang Yi also took a step back!
Now, in a pure test of Strength, both had reached an equal footing, Man Lie had weakened to the same level of strength as Huang Yi!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The two men stood their ground, using brute force to clash their massive hammers together time and again, in the most barbaric way possible, without any skill to speak of. Whoever couldn’t hold out would be the first to be killed.
After a fierce bout, Man Lie’s layer of Blood Qi finally dissipated, revealing his body covered in scars, with ghastly wounds bleeding profusely. His body began to sway from side to side as if he were about to fall at any moment.
It was at this moment that Huang Yi’s Eye of Time suddenly saw that Man Lie still had one last move up his sleeve!
In 5 seconds, Man Lie was going to use a Recall to the Light type of Fury Skill, similar to Spirit Cat’s ultimate skill Life Sacrifice, consuming all his Life’s strength to launch a burst of fury!
This skill was undoubtedly lethal for Huang Yi; once launched, his death was certain!
Huang Yi calmly continued to clash with Man Lie, each Attack subtly bringing him a bit closer!
Finally, as the fifth second was about to arrive, Huang Yi suddenly stopped attacking, unexpectedly dodging Man Lie’s hammer and swiftly rushing to his side like lightning!
Then, he reached out and grabbed Man Lie’s wrist, using Disarm!
At that moment, Man Lie had just opened his mouth, intending to chant the name of a skill!
But the next instant, he couldn’t make a sound, just like a mute!
He had been Silenced by Huang Yi.
Man Lie’s Recall to the Light Fury Skill, which only required chanting the skill name for release, was given no chance by Huang Yi, who directly used Disarm to Silence him, snuffing it out in the cradle; it was interrupted before it could even be unleashed.
By then, Huang Yi had seized Man Lie’s massive hammer, and with skills unspeakable, Man Lie was defenseless, injured all over, with no means left.
"Last Stand!" At that moment, Huang Yi unleashed a burst of explosion. His Health Points had already dropped below 30% in the previous battle, but he had not yet used this skill until now, when his Attack Power suddenly surged dramatically!
By then, Man Lie no longer had the strength to resist. Every time Huang Yi’s massive hammer hit him, he would spew blood from his mouth, his large body being beaten back, a living human punching bag, battered without the power to fight back!
Pieces of flesh were torn off by Huang Yi, and bones shattered under his crushing blows. Man Lie, this once invincible leader, was now being brutally slaughtered by a player 16 levels below him!
Finally, as Huang Yi’s Last Stand faded away, his final blow struck squarely on Man Lie’s head!
"Thump!" In that moment, half of Man Lie’s skull was smashed away, his body shook violently, then became motionless, like a stone column.
The next second, Man Lie’s towering body fell straight back, the blood in the air obscuring the bright moonlight, as he fell from the most beautiful starry sky in the most tragic manner, crashing heavily onto the earth, dead through and through!
In the battlefield above the starry sky, only Huang Yi remained, holding two massive hammers, standing in the midst of the moonlight, casting a fierce silhouette like an overlord surveying the world!
