Seeing Chen Xuan strike back with a palm, Shui Yue did not recoil as she had in the temple. Instead, she curled her fingers into claws and lunged directly toward his palm. At the same moment, Byrne and two other experts moved to surround Chen Xuan.
Watching these four top-tier experts converge on Chen Xuan, even Joseph, lying on the ground in critical condition, could not help but widen his eyes. Although Chen Xuan had decimated him effortlessly, implying a gap in strength, the speed of these four was clearly superior. Shui Yue, in particular, moved with such ethereal grace that every strike seemed to gather the radiance of the full moon.
To Joseph, this was inconceivable. The rules of the Death Hunt forbade the use of energy, forcing everyone to rely solely on physical combat. Yet, Shui Yue was clearly channeling some form of energy; it was blatant cheating. If that were the case, even the formidable Evil Emperor would likely fall to her. Joseph was certain the outcome was decided the moment Shui Yue engaged, before the others had even joined in.
