The flight speed of the Blood Eagle was incredibly fast, and a shape-shifting Tier Four gear was indeed rare.
Li Ang’s knowledge of equipment creation included ideas on how to specifically make such gear.
This kind of gear typically required a variety of special materials and took a long time to manufacture. The key point was that they were not necessarily stronger than non-shape-shifting gear, requiring effort to coordinate their use.
"Blood Eagle" Achilles Samlo, ranking within the top 3000 of The Sandbone Group, mainly due to him.
Leaving aside the geniuses and those mixed into the Celestial Group wearing high-tier equipment, among ordinary Tier Six Adventurers, someone like him was one in ten thousand. Limitations prevented him from equipping a full set of Tier Six gear, but the coordination and usage of existing parts were already superb.
Dragging dual blades, Achilles’s flight left a trail of blood shadow, diving like a raptor in an airstrike towards Andasu, the blood blade on the dual blades aimed at her vital points.
The pupils of White Wolf contracted, muscles tensed at her feet, and she somersaulted away before the blade reached her, leaping a few times to widen the distance.
"Oh?"
When Blood Eagle personally launched an attack, he also felt the effect of White Wolf’s brief burst of power; it was indeed hard to hit.
He raised his hand and felt a wave of paralysis.
Even trying to hold his breath, he was still affected by the strange toxin... Blood Eagle flapped his wings, flying into the air, getting away from the paralyzing aura.
He glanced at the positions of his group members and shook his head.
Blood Eagle launched another aerial assault, Andasu knew she couldn’t withstand it, relying on temporary bursts to dodge and retreat each time, also avoiding the archer’s poisonous arrows. As her stamina was vastly depleted, her sweat made her back glisten brightly.
Whether it was her firearm’s rapid firing or the light crossbow shots from the other two gang members, nothing threatened Blood Eagle, either being deflected by the cloak transformed into eagle wings or blocked by the broadsword.
Another aerial assault, White Wolf barely dodged, Blood Eagle flipped backward to ascend into the air again. Instead of attacking Andasu, he quickly turned back to the fallen Berserker, slashing open the net on his leg, dragging him into the air and flying a considerable distance.
Flying over the two unconscious group members, he kicked them awake one by one.
"Encircle her for me."
At the behest of their leader, except for the archer, the three elites of The Sandbone Group circled around from a distant position, enclosing Andasu in a large circle.
Two members of the Sand Beast Gang tried to interfere, but Blood Eagle swiftly knocked them down with a flying slash.
After toppling the four members of Andasu’s squad, the dual broadswords of Blood Eagle had already gathered quite a lot of blood blades, even being temporarily separated from the blade upon swinging, held aloft by magic power, before being reabsorbed.
Such a situation allowed many follow-up damage strikes with one slash as these small blood blades danced in the air like blood-colored eagle feathers.
The nickname Blood Eagle was well-deserved.
"Oh! Only our Platinum Ace is left in the scene! It seems he is isolated and unable to turn the tide!" Huo Zui Reed shouted.
Indeed, in the scene, Andasu had already been pushed to her limit.
The Sandbone Group had learned that her paralyzing aroma had a limited range, only encircling from three angles without venturing forth. But as long as they coordinated an assault, she was still evading the archer’s shots, and as soon as they charged, most of her escape routes would be cut off.
Blood Eagle, meanwhile, remained in the air, unaffected by her aroma. Once he found an opportunity, she would find it even harder to avoid his capture.
"It’s over."
"An..." Bonnie struggled to support herself, unable to stand after being knocked down, with their sisters’ blood drawn out significantly by those two broadswords, now too weak to stand.
Without the Yunxiang Race’s enhancing aroma, those two slashing attacks could have had deadly power.
Penny panted, "The leader of The Sandbone Group is indeed formidable; he shouldn’t be interested in the Flowing Silver Combat Skill’s reward, so why participate in the competition?"
In the high sky, Blood Eagle snorted coldly and signaled with a wave of his hand.
"It’s over."
The three elites held their breath simultaneously and charged towards Andasu.
Blood Eagle himself transformed into a bloody phantom, rushing towards White Wolf with a mournful wind.
Andasu exhaled and pressed a mechanism at her waist.
The mechanism extended several thin cables, running along her waist to her wrists, each connected to a device on her wrists.
Pressing the trigger, White Wolf’s wrists emitted electric sparks as her hands slapped on the ground, and the electricity seemed to seep into the ground.
A rumbling sound rose from the ground.
"Look! Blood Eagle is about to deliver the final deadly blow... hmm? What happened?"
The excited host was interrupted by the anomaly.
Responding to his words, the ground in front of Andasu suddenly rose, a pillar lifting dust, supporting a high platform, its structure and height consistent with the commentator’s podium above ground.
The flight path of Blood Eagle charging towards Andasu was directly above the pillar, and at that moment, the pillar, like a heavy battering ram, struck Blood Eagle straight on, the diving blood-colored phantom was immediately launched vertically, struck into the sky, dropping numerous feathers from the cloak transformed wings.
"Oh oh oh oh! My goodness! The Platinum Ace activated the mechanism of the venue somehow, using the platform’s rise to deliver a strike!"
The host shouted, eyes wide open, and the audience followed suit, erupting in excitement.
Nobody could have imagined that a certain-death scenario would still have a chance for reversal.
Li Ang, perched in the stands, raised an eyebrow.
This was the capability of a Mechanical Engineer, simple thinking from Andasu, using the electric discharge device to temporarily disable the locking mechanism on the venue’s pillars, springing them from the ground.
