With a powerful punch, the Fishman King struck down. Zhou Qingqing raised her left hand to block with her shield, feeling the immense force travel through her arm, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body.
Frowning, Zhou Qingqing stepped back as Lin Han rose again and unleashed a fiery punch. The Fishman King had nowhere to evade and took the full brunt of the blow. The flames wrapped around the punch, creating waves of air that stirred up golden sand in the air.
At that moment, the pattern of the Dice Projection in mid-air changed from one to four. Following this, a Jin Mang shot forth rapidly and then merged into the Fishman King's body.
With his eyes closed and hands instinctively raised to shield himself, the Fishman King thought it was over, only to realize he was still alive. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a faint gray glow enveloping his body.
Letting out a roar, the Fishman King attacked purely on instinct, as he was merely a projection of data created by the system. Meanwhile, Xue Wushuang and the others noticed the change in the dice and Xue Wushuang angrily glared at Qian Yixuan in the distance.
"What’s wrong with you? Which side are you on? Why are you helping the Fishman?"
Unfazed, Qian Yixuan looked leisurely at everyone and smiled. "It’s my freedom to help whoever I want. Besides, I said I’m here to test whether you all are qualified."
As he spoke, Qian Yixuan raised his hand again, this time summoning an object resembling a cloak. "Initiating reset."
As his voice echoed, the dice on the ground began to roll once more. The enormous Dice Projection in mid-air also underwent changes.
"Stop that dead yellow thing!"
Seeing the dice start spinning again, Xue Wushuang felt his blood boil and was ready to step in and teach a lesson.
"Watch out, Fat Cat Brother!"
Chen Huan'er’s voice came from behind him just as two Fishmen surrounded by a yellow aura charged forward with crude spears in hand.
"Damn it."
Xue Wushuang could only curse as one of the spears pierced him, drawing blood. Fortunately, the Holy Light Grass continued to heal him. The two shimmering yellow Fishmen lifted their spears again and charged at him once more as he dodged to the side.
Qin Luoxi's figure materialized, the Bloodthirsty Soul Blade in hand lunging toward one of the Fishmen, specifically the one glowing with a yellow light. To his astonishment, as the blood blade pierced through, the Fishman raised its spear to counterattack.
What terrifying reflexes!
A shock ran through Qin Luoxi's heart. Unfortunately, the Bloodthirsty Soul Blade was too short; the spear would reach him first. He had no choice but to dodge and abandon his attack, continuing to conceal himself and wait for the right moment.
At that moment, a large die above everyone's heads showed the number two.
On Lin Han and Zhou Qingqing's side, the Fishman King began its counteroffensive. Its scaled arms gripped a trident tightly as it relentlessly thrust toward the two of them.
Lin Han's short weapon was fully exposed. Lacking a suitable weapon to defend himself, he could only resort to close combat against an enemy capable of delivering deadly long-range attacks.
Zhou Qingqing attempted to block the Fishman King with her sword, but it was clear that this was not something she could handle alone. After several clangs of metal, sweat beaded on her forehead, and her arms trembled slightly.
The Centaur unleashed a protective barrier and quickly charged toward the Fishman King. Its four hooves struck the ground with a dull thud, while its upper human form summoned waves of Jin Mang energy. A spear materialized and shot directly toward the Fishman King.
Dark Black Tortoise, Blazing Fire Qilin, restrict their movements! Create an opportunity for the Centaur to attack!
With a thought, Lin Han summoned Dark Black Tortoise from beneath the water's surface. Immediately after, the gentle rain around them ceased. In contrast, without You Xuan Ming Yu's suppression, the Merfolk King's aura surged even higher.
