The opponent actually had two King-level Employees!

"Two King-levels?!" A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Cheng's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Behind her, Ye Liangchen's expression was also rather grim; he was well aware that his King-level combat power had been forcibly boosted.

In a real fight, his combat strength was definitely a bit weaker than a genuine King-level Employee.

However, he wasn't too worried because he trusted Bai Cheng's strength. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

At this moment, Purple Iris, who was beside Bai Cheng, took a step forward. Pale purple energy ripples emanated from her body, and a similarly overbearing King-level aura surged into the sky, clashing with the opponent's aura and creating visible ripples in the air.

"Let's test it out!" The Man in Black laughed loudly and decisively gave orders to the two King-level ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Employees beside him.

Fierce and blazing King-level energy gushed out, causing the metal ground beneath their feet to sink slightly.

The auras of the four King-level Employees from the three parties collided in the center of the arena, forming a terrifying energy turbulence that caused even the energy barrier within the Dueling Arena to distort.

"Move!" Bai Cheng barked. Understanding the signal, Purple Iris moved like lightning, lunging straight at the armored King-level fighter on the left of the Man in Black.

Ye Liangchen launched his attack almost simultaneously, his offensive striking toward the King-level on the left of the Man in Black like a torrential storm.

Their goal was clear: join forces to eliminate one of the Man in Black's King-levels as quickly as possible to break the numerical balance.

Purple Iris's fighting style was agile and treacherous. Her purple energy condensed into countless sharp slashes, moving at extreme speeds, with each strike carrying a powerful lethality capable of tearing through space.

The armored King-level Employee snorted coldly and crossed his arms. A heavy black energy shield materialized in front of him, blocking all the slashes, though fine cracks appeared on the shield's surface.

Immediately after, Ye Liangchen's terrifying blow struck from the side.

His punch was like a dragon, enveloped in blazing golden Battle Qi. Although the opponent's reaction speed was extremely fast, he was still knocked back several meters by the punch.

Ye Liangchen immediately swung his blade. Almost simultaneously with Purple Iris's blade light, they enveloped the opponent from front and back, intending to deliver a killing blow.

But in the next second, the opponent's other King-level arrived to support, releasing countless binding energy chains to restrict their movements.

These chains contained an extremely treacherous power that seemed to be fused with Domain Power, making the two of them not dare to be careless.

With almost just an exchange of glances, Purple Iris turned her blade to slash at the chains, while Ye Liangchen continued his attack.

Though the King-level on the right of the Man in Black was strong, he was forced back repeatedly under their coordinated attack. Dazzling light burst from his dark armor as the defensive energy was struck.

The Man in Black remained motionless in the center, only letting out a low laugh: "Trying to take out one of my men first? Naive."

Before his voice had even faded, a sudden change occurred!

The armored King-level who was fighting Ye Liangchen suddenly flickered and vanished from his spot.

In the next instant, he appeared behind Purple Iris like a ghost, a pitch-black energy blade silently stabbing toward her heart!

A Space-type ability!

At the same time, the armor patterns on the King-level who had been suppressed by Purple Iris suddenly lit up. His aura surged, forcefully shaking off several slashes as he threw a backhand punch at Purple Iris. Where the fist passed, space itself distorted slightly.

The opponent's two King-levels were not only powerful but also had complementary abilities; one specialized in powerful frontal attacks, while the other possessed eerie space-shuttling and assassination skills.

Their cooperation had clearly been tempered through countless battles, far superior to a temporary alliance.

"Watch out!" Yu Nian warned anxiously.

Purple Iris reacted extremely quickly, forcefully twisting her body. Domain Power condensed into a shield in front of her, barely blocking the surprise punch. At the same time, she used the momentum to block the backstab with her blade while quickly creating distance.

The offensive was instantly reversed.

The plan to focus fire and defeat one person first fell through due to the opponent's exquisite cooperation and strange abilities.

Purple Iris quickly returned to support and regrouped with Ye Liangchen. The four King-levels faced off again, but the atmosphere had already changed.

"Is this all you've got?" the Man in Black taunted. Although he hadn't made a move, he was calm and composed. "You're no match for them two-on-two, so... how about two-on-three?"

Before the Man in Black finished speaking, his figure suddenly blurred, like a shadow tearing through space, lunging straight for where Bai Cheng was!

A near-tangible killing intent surged around him; he had clearly decided to capture the Leader to defeat the followers.

After all, compared to Ye Liangchen—who, despite being a weaker King-level, was someone he might not be 100% certain of taking down—Bai Cheng was a different story.

Bai Cheng, on the other hand, was different.

A Leader with no strength actually dared to take the field!

As long as he killed her instantly, it wouldn't matter even if she had King-level Employees; she would still have to leave the stage!

"Be careful!" Yu Nian cried out, but the Man in Black was too fast, seizing that sliver of an opening in the gap of the King-level confrontation.

However, in the next moment, a green light blocked the path in front of Bai Cheng like a barrier.

"Clang—!!!"

The deafening sound of metal clashing made the entire Dueling Arena tremble slightly.

The violent power of Blue Bird's thunder was pressing against the edge of the pitch-black short blade in the Man in Black's hand.

Air currents exploded outward with the two of them as the center, and the ground cracked like a spiderweb.

The Man in Black's pupils suddenly constricted.

This strike of his contained eighty percent of his power and was further fused with the surprise attack characteristics of shadow shuttling. Even if an ordinary King-level could react, they would only be able to block in haste and would inevitably be pushed back and injured.

But the bird-man before him hadn't retreated a single step; instead, the aura rising from his body was climbing steadily... That wasn't the fluctuation of someone who had just entered the King-level, but a deeper, purer Domain Power, as if it had been tempered in the King-level realm for a long time!

"Stage Two King-level... How is that possible!" the Man in Black whispered in horror.

Blue Bird said nothing, and thunderous wind blades spiraled out like a tornado.

The Man in Black hurriedly pulled back and retreated, yet he was still caught by several wind blades.

He roared and propped up a dark shield, but it was torn to shreds the moment it made contact, and the remaining force slashed ruthlessly into his body.

"Rip—!"

The black robes shattered, turning into cloth fragments flying all over the sky.

The Man in Black rolled wretchedly for over ten meters. When he barely managed to stand firm, he was nearly naked.

What was exposed to everyone's sight was not human skin, but a body covered in dark purple scales. A crimson vertical eye on his forehead was slowly opening, flowing with an eerie light.

Seeing this, Bai Cheng frowned, unable to help but show a hint of surprise.

"A Survivor from #1 Channel?!"

Ye Liangchen narrowed his eyes, his grip on his blade tightening slightly.

Yu Nian gasped: "No wonder... By the way, how can they participate in the Ten Thousand Frequency Hegemony Tournament?"

Bai Cheng, however, chuckled softly.

"I guessed long ago that you weren't simple. Hiding your head and showing your tail—did you really think you could fool everyone?"
