In a flash, five days passed by just like that.
Bloody and Kylie successfully managed to meet in the Heavenly God domain.
Currently, Bloody had gone through half a month of hunting and had elevated to ninth-rank True God. The number of ninth-rank Heavenly Gods she could control had also grown from two to three.
As the hunting rules had stated that group hunting was prohibited in the secret prisoner territory, the duo worked out a way of hunting in the manner of playing touch ball.
Every time they encountered a target, one would be responsible for attacking, while the other would watch the battle from the sidelines.
However, once the prey revealed its weakness, the other person would take over the attack.
On the surface, it seemed as if they were fighting over the target; in reality, they were aiding each other, breaking the target’s tempo of battle.
This fighting technique that the two ladies displayed became a topic of discussion among the Heavenly God leaders who were watching outside the secret territory.
“This touch ball technique is… amazing!”
“That purple-haired girl is so accurate with her timing! Every time she controls her puppets to attack, it’s always at the opponent’s weakest point.”
“The most important thing is that it seems like she’s really competing for the target every time she attacks. If I didn’t know that they’re best friends, I’d genuinely believe that she’s fighting to snatch away the prey.”
“I think we can let the participants do it like this too in the future.”
As the group of Heavenly God leaders continued their heated discussion, the expressions on the faces of God Capital’s Heavenly God leaders were rather unpleasant.
The rule set by God Capital had been broken and in front of so many people. To God Capital, this was not something to be proud of at all.
In all honesty, they could not determine that the way Bloody and Kylie played was collaboration. Instead, it looked as if the two girls were fighting to snatch the other’s intended prey.
However, the duo’s hunting efficiency had increased more than several times by doing so. Not only that, they were practically invincible in the first-rank Heavenly God zone.
The rate at which their hunting points increased was rapidly catching them up with the top three participants.
The performance of the two girls caused a lot of discussion among the Heavenly God leaders outside the secret territory.
“If I’m not wrong, that purple-haired girl must have combined a simplified battle formation, where three puppets are equivalent to one person. The three puppets’ ability isn’t a simple matter of compounding either.”
“Little Princess Kylie is performing pretty well too. She must have known the purple-haired girl for a long time. This sort of tacit understanding can’t be developed in a mere short period.”
After a full day of major battles in the secret prisoner territory, both girls headed straight to the domain of the second-rank Heavenly God prisoners early the next day and began a new round of hunting.
The first target the duo chose was a Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape.
This Demonic Ape had mastered two god sequence chains—Superhuman Strength and Vajrapani. It had prodigious strength and unparalleled defenses; it was also an expert in close-quarter combat.
Its overall ability could be considered top-tier among the second-rank Heavenly Gods.
In reality, the two girls had chosen this hunting target not to kill it but to test the waters.
For one, Bloody wanted to find out the limits of her battle formation consisting of three first-rank Heavenly God convicts. For another, Kylie wanted to find out how far her most powerful attack could go.
With these goals in mind, the two girls invaded the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape’s territory.
The ape did not beat around the bush either; the battle started immediately.
Bloody controlled the battle formation consisting of the three convicts and took the initiative to charge at the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape. Meanwhile, Kylie watched the battle from the sidelines just like before.
The giant shadow of a blood-red ape consolidated in the air and collided with the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape.
The collision of the two massive silhouettes, one black, and one red, caused Divine Power to surge in all directions.
It seemed as if they were evenly matched, but as soon as the collision happened, Bloody knew a direct attack would not win the battle.
Judging by the pressure coming from the battle formation, the opponent had the upper hand in terms of suppression.
On second thought, Bloody immediately controlled the battle formation and changed her modus operandi of battle.
She retreated far away at once from the massive energy surging from her opponent, offloading the majority of the force of the attack.
Seeing that the giant ape shadow had not settled down yet and that the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape wanted to seize the opportunity to go after it, Kylie could not help making her move.
Her spear stabbed holes through the void, which turned into hundreds of purplish-red lightning arcs that blocked the Demonic Ape’s way.
As soon the giant ape shadow finished offloading the impact not too far away, Bloody took control and sent it charging at the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape to prevent the monster from changing its battle target.
Kylie’s attack earlier was clearly not to snatch the target away, but to help Bloody.
This time, it was obvious to anyone not blind.
Fortunately, Bloody managed to draw the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape’s attention back to herself, while Kylie also became aware of her own mistake. She stopped attacking and did not participate in the fight.
The group of Heavenly God leaders watching outside the secret territory also did not say anything.
The leaders from God Capital merely frowned and said nothing either.
The battle in the secret territory surprised nobody.
The giant ape shadow was suppressed by the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape throughout the close combat between the two gigantic monsters.
Bloody had been controlling the giant ape shadow to avoid a head-on collision. She destroyed the attacks with her agility and countered the threats one after another. However, her attack did not cause any substantial harm to the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape.
The battle lasted for almost three hours, but she decided to give up in the end.
Meanwhile, Kylie, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, immediately began the second stage of combat.
She showcased her upper hand as soon as she began fighting.
She dominated her opponent with her speed and agility while she dodged all of its attacks with ease. Not only that, due to her extremely swift and stealthy attacks, most of her blows managed to hit the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape.
Ray upon ray of purplish-red lightning shot out at different angles and in various forms. However, they merely caused a little bit of external injury at most every time they struck the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape. These wounds recovered almost immediately.
Although Kylie had a massive advantage in speed, she was defeated by her opponent’s defenses. Her attack power was even weaker than Bloody’s battle formation shadow, and she could not cause any effective harm to the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape at all.
Nevertheless, Kylie was unwilling to give up and tried for close to two hours, even though she knew she could not break through its defenses. In the end, she had no choice but to abandon her attempts.
However, the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape had been enraged by the duo and was not planning on letting them leave just like that. One must know that it had been disturbed for over five hours for no reason by the both of them taking turns to attack it.
Although it had the advantage over Kylie and Bloody in terms of strength and defenses, it was far inferior to Kylie where speed was concerned.
Kylie flapped her wings and flew away immediately after putting Bloody and the three convicts away in her God Territory. It took her only less than three minutes to shake off the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape that had been pursuing her.
Despite the two girls being unsuccessful in this battle, they had still attracted the attention of many Heavenly God leaders outside the secret territory.
Some even sympathized with them, thinking that they had picked the wrong opponent.
However, some of the Heavenly God leaders could tell that the two girls had deliberately provoked the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape on purpose.
On the surveillance camera, Kylie released Bloody from her God Territory after shaking off the Demonic Eight-Eyed Ape on her heels.
Although this battle had been a failure, they did not give up at all. They continued heading towards their next target while beginning to review the earlier fight…
