A single kick from Kieran multiplied into ten kicks. Almost instantaneously, leg shadows filled the sky and drowned Ye Jing like a tidal wave in the sea.
Unlike fighting with weapons, when Kieran used his legs, he relied entirely on his own Strength, Agility, and Constitution.
At that moment, Kieran's Strength and Agility had reached SS +, and his Constitution was ZZZ-, almost a Strong 1.
With the Transcendence level [Hand-to-Hand Combat, Transcendence Kicks]'s Strength and Agility + 4 buffs, Kieran's Strength and Agility had reached the New Advanced Rank. It might be the weakest rank, but it still surpassed the Common Rank, especially the Transcendence special effect [Transcendence Kicks], which granted Kieran an extra + 1 attack when he faced normal, real living beings.
Even though attacking with his legs would consume extra Stamina, it allowed Kieran's legs to reach the Transcendence level.
And that wasn't all.
Fuuu!
Amidst the leg shadows that filled the sky, blazing flames suddenly burned.
The blazing Devil Flame was attached to Kieran's legs, attacking Ye Jing's defense again and again.
Back in the Character Model Template Limit Dungeon, when Kieran broke through the skill limit, he acquired the special effect [Transcendence Power], which allowed Kieran to infuse Dawn Force or Devil Flame into his legs, resulting in a Strong level extra attack.
The attack might not be high, but when Kieran used it together with Grand Master [Hundred Violent Kicks], the 225% attack speed made up for the lack of attack.
Especially when [Barsical Kick] and [Bide]'s effect were triggered, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
From the second kick to the fifth kick, Kieran's Agility was buffed by + 1, + 2, + 3, + 4 respectively. On the fourth and fifth kick, on top of the original buffs, Kieran's Strength and Agility were boosted by + 3, + 4. The buffs made Kieran's attacks fiercer and scarier.
Even though Ye Jing's [Extreme Night] had a defense that far surpassed Kieran's attack, it was hard for him to keep up.
Quantitative change would lead to qualitative change!
Quantity should not be neglected at any time.
Moreover, Kieran was now facing an incomplete Polar Night.
Ka!
Ka ka!
Continuous shattering sounds rang out.
Kieran could sense that Polar Night's defense was weakening.
However, an extreme sense of danger rose in his heart.
Without any hesitation, Kieran retreated.
Just as Kieran retreated —
Ye Jing's hand brushed past the bottom of Kieran's boot.
He did not touch Kieran.
However, it made Kieran shudder.
It was not the temperature.
It was intuition.
It seemed that as long as he was touched by that hand, he would die a tragic death.
As if to prove Kieran's guess, Ye Jing's aura plummeted even further in the next moment. It was much weaker than the combined attacks from before and the series of attacks from before.
As his aura dropped, Ye Jing was no longer as dangerous as he had been in the beginning.
Although his aura still exceeded Kieran's, Kieran's Intuition told him that Ye Jing's strength was no longer bottomless.
"Rank 4!"
Kieran defined Ye Jing's strength based on the big city's style.
Then, Kieran quickly adjusted his breath and prepared for the next round of attacks.
Kieran saw the dawn of victory.
He also saw the hidden rewards in Dawn!
What kind of spoils of war would Ye Jing bring him?
The thought alone made Kieran excited.
Equally excited was [Arrogant Word].
Being able to slay such a powerful enemy was no different from acquiring the best whetstone for [Arrogant Word].
It would get sharper as time went on.
It would get stronger as time went on.
In the end, it would reach the level that its creator dreamed of.
Ye Jing's body was slightly pressed down, like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain.
The sword was pointed straight ahead, like the tiger's claws and fangs.
When this ferocious tiger pounced forward, it would be unstoppable.
Ye Jing seemed to have sensed the aura.
He looked at Kieran with a fearful gaze.
Then …
He backed off.
After his strongest attack failed, Ye Jing had completely given up on the idea of rushing into the palace.
As for whether he would lose face by running away?
Ye Jing, who never had a sense of honor, didn't care.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to all sorts of sneaky tricks to deal with Great Swamp.
Only when he was strong would he be able to make an 'upright' appearance.
Whenever he fell into a disadvantageous position, Ye Jing would always retreat first and think of a way out later.
Just like now.
Before Kieran could launch his attack, Ye Jing had started to run.
However, he didn't turn around and run.
Instead, he landed on the ground and backed off without moving. Therefore, Ye Jing's face was still facing Kieran. Even at that moment, he didn't forget to threaten Kieran.
"You're lucky this time."
But don't forget, this place is only temporarily suppressing my strength!
When I return to the surface, my strength will be restored!
When that time comes … "
"You better pray that I'll be merciful and leave your body in one piece!"
As he spoke, Ye Jing raised his right hand and performed a throat-slitting salute.
No doubt, Ye Jing hated Kieran to the core.
It was Kieran's appearance that caused him to fall short of success.
No!
I haven't failed yet!
I still have my own arrangements in Flame City!
If I use them well, I can still turn the tables!
The thought in his heart made Ye Jing retreat even faster.
However, a spider web was faster!
Without a sound, [Mardos Silk] appeared on Ye Jing's right wrist, which he had just performed the throat-slitting salute, and the other end was grabbed tightly by Kieran.
Then, the spider web shrunk rapidly.
The distance between Ye Jing and Kieran instantly shrunk to negligible. Even though Ye Jing broke free from the spider web a moment later, Kieran had already slashed down at him.
This time around, Ye Jing didn't have "Extreme Night" to defend himself.
Under Kieran's relentless attacks, "Extreme Night" was on the verge of collapsing.
Against Kieran's slash, all Ye Jing could do was to use a more primitive method that he looked down on: use "Extreme Night" to parry the slash.
A black longsword with a two-finger-wide blade covered in cracks appeared in Ye Jing's hand. He swung his hand and blocked [Arrogant Word] with his longsword.
Dang!
As the metal blades clashed, Ye Jing's face turned ugly.
His strength wasn't right.
It was still too small.
Right away, Ye Jing saw Kieran switch from two-handed to one-handed. Ye Jing's face was twisted when he saw Kieran's left hand in front of him.
He never thought Kieran would play such tricks even at a time like this.
Fuuu!
The Devil Flame burned once more.
However, before Devil Flame could devour Ye Jing …
Darkness appeared.
Darkness devoured all light.
Including Devil Flame.
The Devil Flame that just appeared was extinguished just like that.
Ye Jing's voice sounded clearly in the darkness.
"Do you know why I'm called Ye Jing?
"That's because I can only unleash my greatest strength at night."
Especially … "
