Bang!
Bang bang!
One after another, without stopping.
Tang Qi was severely injured, with intense pain coming from all over his body, but the hand holding the gun was steady. His remaining strength was poured into it, shot after shot, with a distinct rhythm.
The first bullet shattered the half of the Dugong Sea Demon's head that had regenerated.
The second bullet shattered the other half.
The third and fourth bullets shattered its torso.
The fifth bullet shattered its limbs.
The sixth bullet shattered its massive fish tail.
As the last bullet turned into golden light and flame, blasting the fish tail into scattered pieces of flesh, Tang Qi's eyes finally saw a strange figure made of gray mist flying out from the scattered remains on the ground.
This shadow looked almost identical to the Dugong Sea Demon's external form. The only difference was its face, which was a mix of human and Dugong Sea Demon, constantly tearing and merging. It shrieked as it fled towards the house.
Until a hand, shimmering with golden light, suddenly reached out and grabbed its tail.
Boom
The tragedy that once befell the Bronx Dog-Faced Man was now tasted by the Dugong Sea Demon.
When it was hit by the Furnace Bullet, it could still shriek.
But when Tang Qi's hand ignited with golden flames, it could only struggle briefly before turning into dust.
At this moment, despite being prepared, Tang Qi was startled by the commotion in his mind.
He felt a "rumble," and his head trembled violently.
When he had devoured the Dog-Faced Human's soul, he had received a small stream.
But at this moment, what Tang Qi felt was a tide completely composed of golden light points, surging from his hand into his mind, entering that gray mist space.
There, Tang Qi watched with his own eyes as the small area where the golden light was floating and sinking expanded by a full two times with a rumble.
Following this was a surge of warm and scorching energy, flowing through his limbs and bones.
Tang Qi felt as if he was in a furnace. With every breath, what he exhaled seemed to be flames.
The parts of his body severely injured by the Dugong Sea Demon quickly recovered after the scorching energy flowed through them. Even old injuries on his arm healed faster. The itchy sensation of granulation growth hadn't even had time to spread before it was drowned out by waves of scorching heat.
Wave after wave of hot steam surged from Tang Qi's body.
It completely evaporated all the disgusting mucus and pus in the room. The smell, however, was truly unpleasant and almost made Stana faint.
But at this moment, Tang Qi was completely oblivious to this.
Pain and comfort were mixed together; he almost groaned out loud.
Forcibly suppressing these feelings, he looked at himself.
The special interface popped up. The skills section, as Tang Qi had guessed, had changed.
And not just one.
Under Tang Qi's gaze, the progress of the Meditation Method, which was at 0.01%, distorted with golden light and suddenly jumped to 0.2%.
A twenty-fold increase made Tang Qi almost jump for joy.
Even more surprising was the Furnace Eyes that followed. The words "Beginner" finally appeared, and the progress jumped directly to 0.1%.
The progress of the third skill, Chaga Combat Technique, also rose rapidly, finally settling at 0.15%.
When everything settled, not only had Tang Qi's injuries fully recovered, but all three of his skills had significantly improved.
The increase in progress wasn't just for show. Tang Qi could feel that he had become stronger.
If he were to fight the Dugong Sea Demon now, he definitely wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
This time, Tang Qi was able to shoot and kill the Dugong Sea Demon largely because he had the advantage.
They were both beings in the Supernatural Realm, but there was a huge difference in their power.
Tang Qi possessed the Chaga Combat Technique and the Meditation Method, as well as a Supernatural firearm, but he was essentially still a human. His physical fitness at most surpassed that of his peers but couldn't compare to professional fighters.
The Dugong Sea Demon, on the other hand, possessed inhuman strength and speed, as well as the skill [Siren's Wail].
Even later, entering the final fusion stage, it seemed to be transforming into some kind of ancient Supernatural Creature. If successful, it would likely become even more unimaginable.
Tang Qi was able to kill it by relying on his plan. He didn't expose Blood Python No. 1 prematurely. He acted as bait, fighting with the combat technique, paying the price of severe injury to attract its attention, allowing Stana to fire the crucial shot.
Although it wasn't fired by Blood Python No. 1, the Furnace Bullet was a Supernatural weapon after all, and it blew off half of its head.
Although this also prompted its evolution, it still provided a valuable window of opportunity.
Furnace Eyes!
Deterrence effect!
Only for one second. At other times, it couldn't do anything.
But in battle, one second is enough to decide life or death.
The Sea Demon gave Tang Qi the chance to pull out Blood Python No. 1, and even exposed its head without reservation, practically handing its life over for Tang Qi to deal with.
Each Furnace Bullet fired by Blood Python No. 1 had several times the power of previous ones.
So at that time, even though it had mostly evolved, it was still useless.
"Cough~ cough cough"
"I'll help you!"
Just as Tang Qi finished feeling the changes in his body, the scorching steam also dissipated. A tall figure ran over and, without a word, practically half-hugged and helped him up. Chief Inspector Stana clearly thought Tang Qi was seriously injured.
Although being held by Stana, the soft feeling and faint fragrance were quite enjoyable.
However, at this moment, Tang Qi still broke free, indicating he was fine, and then walked directly towards the Sea Demon's death site, which had turned into a pile of minced meat.
Loot!
Tang Qi was so eager because he saw a lot of loot.
Among the disgusting chunks of flesh scattered everywhere, there were three items in total, emitting a faint, eerie glow that only Tang Qi could see.
Mystical Items, and three of them.
Tang Qi could almost feel his heart suddenly pounding violently.
Ignoring the disgusting flesh and blood, he went straight over and picked up the three items one by one.
The first item was a shell-shaped box.
Opening it, it was filled with a pale yellow, unknown ointment. A rich fragrance instantly filled the air.
"What is this?"
Beside him, Stana's curious voice came.
Her beautiful eyes looked at the box of ointment in Tang Qi's hand. Her nose twitched slightly, and a feeling of deep longing arose.
She had a feeling this ointment was a good thing.
Tang Qi was very sensitive to emotions, so at this moment, he clearly sensed Stana's thoughts.
Scanning the special interface that popped up above the ointment, a smile curved at Tang Qi's lips.
He proactively handed the ointment to Stana, then said casually, "This is a supernatural item. Its effect is to keep a woman's skin in its best condition for thirty years."
"Really?"
Upon hearing what Tang Qi said, Stana's eyes immediately sparkled.
Women, probably, couldn't resist those words.
Stana almost subconsciously quickened her pace and took the ointment. Just as she started considering whether to abuse her authority and keep this good thing for herself,
Another sentence from Tang Qi, came faintly.
"Its name is... Human Skin Paste."
"Ah~"
As soon as Tang Qi finished speaking, Stana, who took a second to react to the meaning of those three words, almost immediately threw the ointment in her hand away.
It was a good thing Tang Qi was quick, otherwise, it would have been Tang Qi's floor enjoying this "supernatural beauty treatment."
