*Bang!* The Peace Authority Angel's head snapped back from a whip kick, forcing it to halt its skill casting. It swung its long spear staff, aiming a heavy blow at the Rabbitman, who had no leverage in mid-air.
"Unfalling Fortress!"
The Rabbitman roared, his hand, faintly shimmering with illusions, met the descending spear staff.
The clash of unequal forces defied expectations; instead of being knocked down, the Rabbitman caught the heavy blow with a rough, scarred hand.
No impact sound occurred, as if the Peace Authority Angel's force vanished! Tang Zheng, seeing the Martial Arts information on his attribute panel, looked up at the figures clashing in the air.
He had been anticipating a powerful Martial Art. Brain's confident stance suggested he wouldn't go all out unless pushed.
This Rabbitman clearly possessed a high-level Martial Art!
"Unfalling Fortress" was among the best defensive Martial Arts in the other world, with "Fortress" and "Armored Fortress" as lower versions.
It was a Martial Art that "nullified physical attacks."
Clown Girl, for example, used it to easily block Undead King's giant sword attacks, which were over ten times her weight.
The "Unfalling Fortress" effect sounded powerful, but shouldn't be taken literally. Many Martial Art effects weren't as strong as imagined.
The limitations of humans in the other world meant that the strength of some Martial Arts was judged with flaws.
Tang Zheng believed that Martial Art strength and effect were level-dependent.
Clown Girl could block Undead King because his physical attack was only at a level 30 Warrior's level.
Brain's self-developed Martial Art, "Divine Flash," was described as having "one-hit kill" and "unavoidable" effects.
Yet, even with other Martial Arts enhancing its power, Shalltear blocked it with a finger.
Of course.
At the same level, "Martial Arts" were as impressive as some Class Skills. Ultimately, human strength limited Martial Art power.
"Using a hand to cast 'Unfalling Fortress'? This Rabbitman is... Osk, the Imperial Arena's organizer's bodyguard."
Tang Zheng recognized him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Fortress"-type Martial Arts didn't require a shield or weapon. Activating "Fortress" required successfully blocking an opponent's attack.
This demanded keen eyesight, timing, and skill. Casting too early or late nullified the effect.
Shields or weapons helped with timing, preventing direct injury if activation failed.
The Headhunting Rabbit using his hand to cast "Unfalling Fortress" showed skill and confidence.
Before this.
Tang Zheng wondered why the Empire issued a bounty while sending "Igenia's" people to assassinate him. Now it made sense.
"Martial King" Go Gin's departure affected not only the Empire, but also the merchant Osk.
"Headhunting Rabbit, huh?"
Tang Zheng chuckled, "The merchant sent his strongest mercenary."
"Headhunting Rabbit" was a title known to few. He was a top Warrior and Assassin, not famous in the Kingdom or Empire.
But he was influential in the City Alliance, known to all.
The Headhunting Rabbit could single-handedly hunt down and defeat an "Orichalcum Rank (21-23Lv)" Adventurer Team.
Tang Zheng estimated his level at 25+, but not yet in the Hero Domain.
...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tang Zheng briefly shifted his gaze from the Headhunting Rabbit and the Peace Authority Angel.
The eight Assassins, taking advantage of the Headhunting Rabbit blocking the Peace Authority Angel, spread out and charged at Tang Zheng in a net!
The eight Assassins swung their arms simultaneously, faint sounds cutting through the air as thin, thimble-sized cone needles pierced the air.
"Magic Armor!"
A Mana orb landed on Tang Zheng, forming a semi-transparent armor around him.
Clang! Clang! Clang! All the needle-like weapons were blocked by the Magic Armor, falling to the ground with a dense clatter.
The situation changed abruptly.
The eight Assassins paused, their gazes collectively shifting to the direction from which the magic had flown.
There she was!
The Emerald Witch walked over with an icy expression, standing beside Tang Zheng and whispering, "My Lord."
"The magic came just in time."
Tang Zheng looked up, his neat black short hair slightly ruffled by the breeze, and said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, the Emerald Witch's shoulders trembled, her gaze lowered, not daring to look at Tang Zheng, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
Others might not know, but how could she not know that her master's true strength lay not in faith-based summoning magic, but in mana-based attack magic?
The power her master was currently displaying was merely a disguise, and precisely because of this...
The Emerald Witch couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, because once her master used mana-based power.
There was a high probability that no one present would survive, and that included not only the enemies, but even... them! She had survived the last incident because of her "alchemical techniques for creating Demon Creatures," but recently, her master hadn't even mentioned it.
The Emerald Witch strongly suspected that if her master were to display his true power again, he might eliminate her along with everyone else.
"How did she free up her hands?"
"What about the Magic Casters from the Spreading Death Sword Group!"
The leader of the eight Assassins quickly looked towards the small hills on either side, discovering the corpses of the two Magic Casters.
Moreover, after seeing Brain blasted away with a single blow, the members of the Spreading Death Sword Group had completely collapsed and fled.
Even though Assassins shouldn't have superfluous emotions, the current situation still made the eight Assassins' hearts sink.
"We might all die here, everyone."
The leader of the eight Assassins said emotionlessly, drawing a short sword from his waist.
The other Assassins remained silent, but their movements were not slow at all, drawing their short sword weapons along with him.
Whoosh! The eight Assassins moved simultaneously.
"Roar!"
"*Enlarge!*"
"*Darkness!*"
A surge of magical energy flew from the Emerald Witch's chest and landed on the Evil Spirit Dog, causing its size to double; this was the White Mist Witch's power.
And the magic "Darkness" released by the Emerald Witch instantly stripped away the light in this area, plunging the surrounding region into a pure, dark environment.
"All of you, die!" The Emerald Witch said coldly, "*Plant Entanglement!*"
*Chain Great Whirlwind!* The Evil Spirit Dog followed up in coordination.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Dull sounds like tearing cloth came from the darkness, a thick, bloody smell spreading. As the energy of "Darkness" dissipated, eight bloody, fragmented corpses were scattered on the ground around them.
"Hoo... Hoo..."
The Evil Spirit Dog panted heavily, clearly exhausted.
A move like Chain Great Whirlwind could only be used once a day by ordinary Evil Spirit Dogs, and even though Xiao Hei's constitution had been greatly enhanced by devouring Dragon Blood, using it twice in a row was still a huge drain.
"Emerald, you two take a trip and eliminate all the fleeing mercenaries." Tang Zheng ignored the corpses of the Assassins on the ground and said calmly.
"Yes."
"Yes."
The Emerald Witch spoke first, followed by the White Mist Witch's weak voice from her chest.
Whoosh—
The Twin Witches leaped, disappearing nimbly from the spot and chasing after the fleeing group of mercenaries.
Tang Zheng's gaze returned to the Headhunting Rabbit, who was still entangled with the Peace Authority Angel, the attacks between them exceptionally fierce.
"Strike Against Evil!"
"Unfalling Fortress!"
The spear-staff collided with the palm, and the two forces dissipated.
"Flow Acceleration!"
The Headhunting Rabbit's body speed increased by a notch. After quickly approaching the Peace Authority Angel, it jumped with both feet, and its heavy fists rained down.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The silver armor on the Peace Authority Angel vibrated continuously. The wings on its back flapped, ascending to create distance, and it waved the spear-staff again.
"Strike Against Evil!"
"Unfalling Fortress!"
It was a repeated attack.
But the Peace Authority Angel was clearly in a suppressed state, otherwise it wouldn't have been completely stalled by the Headhunting Rabbit.
"So that's how it is. When the level advantage doesn't exist, the simple attack methods of summoned Demon Creatures can easily be figured out by opponents of the same level."
Tang Zheng nodded thoughtfully, the corners of his mouth forming a perfect arc: "What are you going to do next? Those assassins are all dead."
"The summoned angels don't have stamina consumption or exhaustion."
The Headhunting Rabbit moved quickly, occasionally dodging the Peace Authority Angel's ordinary attacks. A hint of retreat had already sprouted on its expressionless face.
The distance between him and the target wasn't far.
But the Headhunting Rabbit was very clear that although he could suppress the Peace Authority Angel, he couldn't break through this angel's defenses.
Whether it was the Spreading Death Sword Group or Igenia's assassins, they were all a bunch of trash! The Headhunting Rabbit cursed inwardly.
Mission failed, retreat!
Flow Acceleration! The Headhunting Rabbit's intense exchange with the Peace Authority Angel paused, and its figure instantly retreated to create distance, turning to run.
"Wanting to leave at this time is too late." Tang Zheng's gaze turned cold.
Whoosh! The Peace Authority Angel flapped its wings and chased after it. The advantage of flying in the air was completely incomparable to moving on the ground.
In the blink of an eye!
The Peace Authority Angel had already flown above the Headhunting Rabbit's head, the shadow of more than three meters high enveloping it. The spear-staff emitted a holy glow, and once again heavily struck down.
Boom! Facing the attack falling from above.
The Headhunting Rabbit's rabbit ears twitched, and a hideous sneer flashed across its expressionless face. The fleeing action paused, and then it raised its arms to protect its head.
"Magic Resistance Enhancement!"
A light blue light flashed.
Bang! The heavy blow landed on the raised arms, emitting a muffled loud noise. This time, it didn't use "Unfalling Fortress" to resist.
Tang Zheng was a little surprised, but he quickly understood why the Headhunting Rabbit did this.
"Puff..."
The Headhunting Rabbit spat out a mouthful of blood, allowing the force of the spear-staff to explode on its body. Its body flew out uncontrollably.
However! When enduring the attack just now, the Headhunting Rabbit clearly found a suitable angle, and the direction of the knockback was where Tang Zheng was.
The other party didn't plan to escape at all! Swoosh! The Headhunting Rabbit's figure flew over. In a situation where it was in mid-air with no place to borrow strength, it actually forcibly twisted its soft body.
At this time, Tang Zheng noticed that inside the sleeves of the other party's damaged maid outfit, there were two Magic Armor gauntlets.
"Your Excellency Tang, Osk told me to tell you."
The Headhunting Rabbit flipped in the air, dissipating most of the force, and landed on the ground, drawing a deep mark to stabilize its figure. It looked up at Tang Zheng, who was seven or eight meters away, and said with murderous intent: "No one can take anything from his hands without paying any price!"
Bang! "Activate!"
The Headhunting Rabbit stomped hard on the ground with both legs, and a Mana light flashed across the boots under its feet. This was a Magic Item that could increase speed.
In an instant!
The Headhunting Rabbit turned into an afterimage, pouncing towards Tang Zheng. With such speed and distance, the Peace Authority Angel couldn't turn back in time at all.
"Ability Enhancement!"
"Force Strike!"
"Heavy Punch!"
In an instant, the Headhunting Rabbit activated three Martial Arts simultaneously, raising its strong and powerful fist to slam towards Tang Zheng's throat.
'Martial Arts' can be activated simultaneously, but due to the limitations of each person's "Concentration Capacity," there is a limit to activating multiple Martial Arts.
For example, Gazef, the Kingdom's strongest Warrior, in his peak state, without using the Magic Item 'Dragon's Secret Treasure,' can activate a maximum of six Martial Arts in one breath.
As for Brain, due to his Innate Ability "Concentration Capacity Enhancement," he can activate even more Martial Arts.
As this punch was unleashed, the air in front seemed to be severely compressed, exploding like a balloon being blown up, ferociously slamming forward.
Whoosh! Brilliant light emerged.
An angel holding a golden shield, equally three meters tall and even more burly, stood in front of Tang Zheng.
Surveillance Authority Angel (Level 28)
Thud! The astonishing fist covered in calluses heavily struck the golden shield, producing wave-like air fluctuations, emitting a buzzing sound like the striking of an ancient bell.
"This is..."
The Headhunting Rabbit, seeing the Surveillance Authority Angel in front, its body emitting a pale white light, felt its heart sink to the bottom.
I've lost!
He was actually hiding such a trump card in that situation?
That's right, since the opponent had the ability to summon two Third Tier angels at the same time, he should also be able to summon two Fourth Tier angels.
However, this was too shocking, where did such a strong person come from
