A specially made explosive pack went off between them. Liu Erlong beat her wings and flew up, making a bedraggled retreat into the air, while Chu Men crashed through three tree trunks before finally coming to a stop.
The enormous damage continuously transformed into powerful nourishment, steadily improving Chu Men's physical strength!
What a rush!
Once they had some distance between them, Chu Men stopped holding back and went straight into a head-on fight!
He flipped his right hand, and a six-barreled Gatling, pitch-black from end to end, appeared in his grasp!
A half-man-high ammunition box sat at his side, its gleaming golden bullets poised to fire in the sunlight!
"Sister Erlong, watch this move of mine—Namu Gatling Bodhisattva!"
Chu Men abruptly pulled the trigger!
"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat—"
The deafening gunfire instantly shattered the forest's tranquility!
The six barrels spun like mad, forming a dazzling ring of fire around the muzzle.
The dense bullets became a flood of metal, pouring down on Liu Erlong in the sky from every direction.
What a conspicuous target!
Shell casings pattered to the ground like golden raindrops, while the scorching smell of gunpowder shot straight to Chu Men's head.
He twitched his nose, then grew even more excited!
Firearms, violence, firepower!
One word: awesome!
[Namu Gatling Bodhisattva... Amitabha! A monk's compassion knows no bounds!]
[Beautifully done! Show these country bumpkins how powerful our technology is!]
[Terminal case of insufficient-firepower-phobia here, and I'm feeling one hundred percent satisfied!]
[Tang San: I've trained in Hidden Weapons for ten years, and I'm still no match for your one Gatling?]
[Great Emperor Chu Men declares once more: the sky of the Soul Master World has changed!!]
Seeing this, Liu Erlong's pupils contracted, her face filled with disbelief.
She instinctively raised her greatsword in front of herself while channeling all her Soul Power, condensing three thick layers of flaming shields around her body.
"Clang-clang-clang-clang-clang—"
Shrill piercing sounds exploded in her ears.
The bullets actually punched through her dragon flames and struck the Fire Dragon Battle Armor without mercy.
The rapid clanging, the sparks flying everywhere, the powerful impact—together, they drove Liu Erlong backward again and again, leaving her swaying unsteadily in the air.
Her Fire Dragon Shield couldn't hold up against the metallic storm.
And as time passed, more and more bullets pierced through the shield!
She had lived for over thirty years and seen countless bizarre Soul Skills.
But she had never seen a Soul Tool like this one—one that needed no Soul Power or Soul Skill and could unleash devastating firepower just by pulling a trigger!
It was simply unbelievable!
Down below, Chu Men was having the time of his life, firing away as he laughed aloud:
"Sister Erlong, give it to me straight. Are you surrendering or not?"
[Sister Erlong's going to be shocked for an entire year!]
"Soul Power is small potatoes; military weapons are the true path!"
[That barrel's so thick, no wonder Sister Erlong can't handle it. Heh heh.]
Chu Men emptied a belt of bullets before finally releasing the trigger.
The Gatling's barrels were still spinning rapidly, giving off wisps of white smoke and an intermittent sizzling sound as they cooled.
Liu Erlong in the air looked rather bedraggled.
Less than two minutes of metallic storm had already given her plenty to suffer through.
Her hair clung in disarray to her cheeks, her Fire Dragon Battle Armor was riddled with bullet marks, and the hand gripping her greatsword trembled slightly.
She stared fixedly at Chu Men, her expression complicated.
There was anger, shock, admiration, and a hint of an emotion she couldn't put into words.
As a Power Attack System Soul Saint with a top-tier Martial Soul, she adapted to the Gatling's power and rhythm quickly.
The instant the bullets stopped, she launched a counterattack.
Liu Erlong beat her dragon wings, and her whole body turned into a crimson bolt of lightning as she plunged from the sky!
Her greatsword pointed straight at Chu Men, dragon flames raging along its blade and forming a several-meter-long sword wave of fire.
The air warped and twisted wherever it passed, while the swirling leaves were reduced to nothing.
At this critical moment!
"Creepy Uncle, Sister Erlong, I'm here!"
A sweet, lively voice suddenly rang out.
Chu Men, who was about to reload and defend himself, and Liu Erlong, who was about to avenge herself for the bullets, both froze. They turned to look at the same time.
Xiao Wu came running from the direction of the wooden cabin, clutching an empty cake box. Her mouth was covered in snowy white cream, making her look like a white-bearded old man, and she waved excitedly!
"I finished my cake! Keep fighting, keep fighting! I want to see Creepy Uncle get pinned to the ground and beaten up by Sister Erlong!"
Chu Men: "..."
Liu Erlong: "..."
The tense atmosphere eased somewhat.
When Chu Men saw the thick layer of cream on Xiao Wu's mouth, his eyes lit up and an idea struck him!
He immediately tossed the Gatling aside, raised both hands above his head, and fell into his usual routine of lying flat and giving up:
"I admit defeat! I surrender!"
Liu Erlong's greatsword stopped dead just before the tip of Chu Men's nose, the blazing sword energy blowing his hair back.
Seeing what a spineless mess Chu Men was, she was so angry her teeth ached!
He was such a promising young man, yet every time he pulled this stunt. Honestly... he was infuriating!
And he even had the nerve to call it "a great man knows when to bend and when to stand tall"!
Pah!
How had she ever fallen for a guy like him?
"Now you're scared? Too late!"
Liu Erlong ignored Xiao Wu standing beside them, seized Chu Men by the collar, and lifted him off the ground. She scolded him with exasperation:
"You made me meow like a cat, then used me to test your Soul Tool. You sure had a good time!"
Chu Men wasn't the least bit afraid. Instead, he flashed a shameless grin and jerked his chin toward her lower half:
"Sister Erlong, maybe take a look at your skirt first!"
Liu Erlong's heart gave a sudden thump.
The brat might be a coward, but he sure was shameless!
Ruining people's clothes was practically his old trade!
She released him without thinking and anxiously looked down at her skirt.
But the Fire Dragon Battle Armor covered her legs perfectly, without even a single crack.
She'd been tricked!
Liu Erlong jerked her head up. Chu Men had already backed away several steps.
"You tricked me again!"
"Bingo! You got it right. You win a big cream bundle!"
Chu Men flashed an innocent smile and snapped his fingers with a flourish!
A snow-white pyramid taller than a person suddenly appeared in the open space between them.
"Boom!"
The explosion wasn't especially loud, but it was incredibly muffled and sticky.
The next second, the snow-white cream pyramid burst apart, splattering cream in every direction like a tidal wave.
The white surge swallowed everything around it!
Liu Erlong, standing closest, took the full blast!
Thick cream covered her hair, her face, and her Fire Dragon Battle Armor.
Two big dollops of white cream even dangled from her eyelashes, leaving her unable to open her eyes.
Her imposing Fire Dragon Battle Armor had now become a plump, round "Cream Cake Battle Armor."
She looked as ridiculous as a snowman built in winter.
Of course, Chu Men hadn't escaped either. He'd turned into a cream-covered man as well.
But he didn't care. If anything, he stuck out his tongue with interest, licked around his lips, and smacked them:
"Not bad. Fine dairy cream."
He had to admit, the cream A-Zheng had sent over was really sweet!
The unluckiest of all was Xiao Wu, who had come to watch the fight.
She'd finally made it in time for the end of the battle and was about to enjoy the show when a huge mass of cream fell from the sky and landed right on her head.
Her black scorpion braid had been plastered into a white pillar, and her face was covered in a thick layer too, leaving only her big eyes blinking. She looked both pitiful and hilarious.
The air froze again.
Three cream-covered people stared at one another, none of them saying a word.
[Pfft, hahahahaha! A full-scale public humiliation! I'm rolling on the floor laughing!]
[The streamer's a real menace. Area-of-effect mental damage—he didn't spare a single one!]
[Streamer: I'm here for the thrills. Explosions are art, and cream is the truth!]
[Xiao Wu: What did I ever do to anyone? I just wanted to watch, and now I've become Cream Dance. Sob~]
[Sister Erlong: You little rascal, you always manage to come up with some new way to mess with me!]
[Welcome, everyone, to the Three White Turbid Ones...]
Even Lin Xiaoyu, who was usually so composed, was laughing uncontrollably. She covered her mouth and bent over with laughter in the livestream.
