Even Point-Blank Shots Missed
Pang Guang's chest, back, and even his shoulders and arms were covered in tattoos. If he hadn't taken off his clothes, it would have been hard to imagine that beneath his gold-rimmed glasses and white shirt was such a wild look.
"Besides magic, I also work as a summoner. You can tell at a glance that I have this ability, there's no need to hide it." Pang Guang smiled kindly, but the tattoos on his body gave him an extremely sinister look.
As he spoke, the tattoos on his body came to life, and pairs of scarlet beast eyes opened one by one, instantly surging with a Bloodlust and ferocious aura.
Kang Xi's eyes narrowed, knowing this was the prelude to the summoning. He quickly stepped forward, intending to interrupt Pang Guang's summoning ritual.
She moved incredibly fast; a distance of less than ten meters was practically nonexistent for her. Her spear thrust straight forward, its tip glowing red and swirling with golden flames as it rubbed against the air, aiming directly at Pang Guang's heart.
Clang!
The crisp sound of metal clashing, accompanied by sparks flying, caused the unstoppable spear to halt abruptly, frozen in mid-air.
"Huh, what's this...?"
Kang Xi's eyes widened. What blocked the spear was a large, Green Scaled Python with fine, steel-like scales. Only a white mark was left on the spear tip.
Pang Guang stretched out one arm, his five fingers spread, and the tattoo on his arm transformed into a large blue python. The snake's body coiled around the spear and slithered upwards, opening its snake mouth towards Kang Xi.
Pfft!
The snake's mouth lunged at him, and Kang Xi dodged and retreated rapidly, lowering his body and placing his left hand behind his back. Another red spear appeared, thrusting forward swiftly, piercing the snake's mouth, and the force of the thrust shredded its internal organs into a bloody pulp.
"Oh, that's not easy. Using dual pistols is a skill."
Pang Guang remarked with admiration that after the Green Scaled Python died, the corresponding tattoo on his arm also disappeared. However, he had many tattoos, so the loss of a mere python was not a big deal.
Buzzing!
Multiple images flashed across Pang Guang's body as his tattoos gradually materialized, with crows and falcons perched on his shoulders. A swarm of Poison Mosquito formed a black mist in the sky, and Snake, Ant, Scorpion crawled all over the ground.
Then, one after another, ferocious Tiger Wolf landed, their scarlet beastly eyes fixed on Kang Xi.
"I didn't realize you had so many things living inside you!"
Kang Xi planted a long spear upside down in the ground, his fingers rapidly drawing out complex runes, conjuring flames to protect his body, before his expression calmed slightly. As for the Green Scaled Python's defenses, other Beast probably possessed skin and bones of iron as well; it was just unknown whether venomous insects were similarly formidable.
"Flames can't stop them..."
Pang Guang narrowed his eyes, concealing the crimson light in his pupils. Without making any move, the summoned creatures materialized from his tattoos swarmed forward, completely surrounding Kang Xi.
Attacks came from the sky and the ground, from every direction and angle. The flames blocked the smaller poisonous insects, but they could not stop the huge beasts.
With a low shout, Kang Xi unleashed a vortex of energy around him, wielding his spear with both hands, leaving behind layers of spear shadows in mid-air.
The light and shadow energy stirred up a fierce wind, completely obscuring her figure. The dazzling red light stirred the flames, making it impossible to see her movements. Only from the continuous clanging of metal could one imagine the scene of her fierce battle.
A crimson spear flashed, a sudden gust of wind arose, sweeping across the land with unbridled force. The energy generated by the dancing spear tip was like an invisible blade, slashing down and halting the ferocious attack of the beast horde.
These Beast were impervious to swords and spears, with only their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears being slightly weaker. However, there were so many of them that even knowing their weaknesses, Kang Xi couldn't free up his hands to aim.
"Damn it, if only the vice-captain were here, these Beasts would be dead the moment she touched them!"
Ignoring Kang Xi's fierce battle, Pang Guang remained calm and collected, a cold smile playing on his lips. Kang Xi's martial arts were superb, but he could only parry; with a little more effort, Pang Guang could tear apart his impenetrable defense.
At that time, Kang Xi will perish under the siege of his summoned beasts, and his summoned beasts will be able to use his flesh and blood to nourish themselves and further enhance their strength.
Thinking of this, Pang Guang immediately raised his Tie Staff, and a powerful ball of lightning energy gathered, with Lightning Chain leaping out.
Rumble!!
The lightning bolt struck directly, arriving in front of Kang Xi in the blink of an eye. She was fully focused on defending against the invulnerable beast when her heart skipped a beat.
"Oh no... wait!?"
However, the lightning seemed to come alive, veered off course in front of Kang Xi, and vanished in a flash.
"Holy crap, which bastard ambushed me?!"
Pang Guang: "..."
Kang Xi: "..."
"It missed! How could it have missed?"
Pang Guang stared dumbfounded at Russell, who had been struck by the Lightning Chain. Distracted, the beast horde lost its leader and also froze in place.
Great opportunity!
Kang Xi knew he couldn't miss the opportunity. Taking advantage of the moment when the Beast paused, he unleashed a flurry of gunshots, piercing their eye sockets and brains, killing all six wolves.
Sensing the wolf's death, Pang Guang suppressed his shock and doubt, and focused on directing the beast horde to launch another attack.
With six wolves gone, the beast pack's offensive became less fierce, and Kang Xi's pressure eased considerably. He continued to fight the beast pack, his spear flashing, and occasionally he would strike out with a sudden thrust, killing one Beast after another.
The pressure shifted to Pang Guang, who realized that if he didn't act soon, the beast horde would be worn down by Kang Xi bit by bit. The crows and falcons on his shoulders took flight and joined the battle, while he himself, unwilling to give up, unleashed his Lightning Chain once more.
Rumble!
"Holy crap, here we go again!"
Kang Xi: "..."
Pang Guang was dumbfounded again, staring at the Tie Staff in his hand. "Impossible, I have already mastered this Lightning Chain move, there is no reason why it would miss."
Swish, swish, swish!
The red spear tip shone brightly, felling four more beasts. The crow, which had just joined the battle, died on the spot before it could even demonstrate its abilities.
Pang Guang was drenched in sweat as Kang Xi turned the tide, wreaking havoc and taking down Pang Guang's summoned creatures one by one with a single shot. The pressure mounting, he dared not sit idly by and await his death. He took a deep breath, wiped his gold-rimmed glasses, and unleashed his Lightning Chain once more.
This time, he was as cautious as a beginner, even though he could have cast the Lightning Chain instantly, he still chanted the incantation. Before releasing it, he straightened his Tie Staff to make sure it wasn't bent before confidently throwing it.
Kang Xi ignored the incoming flashing television; she had already seen through the move and knew it wouldn't hit her.
Sure enough, after a series of thunderclaps, Russell started shouting again.
"Sigh! You're done playing, huh?!"
"That's impossible!"
Pang Guang's eyes were bloodshot. He took two steps forward and approached Kang Xi, unleashing a series of Lightning Chain in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Rumble!!
"Hey you over there with the gold-rimmed glasses, just you wait, I'll kill you later!"
"..."
This time, Pang Guang said nothing, ignoring Russell's threat. Like a gambler with bloodshot eyes, he walked step by step toward Kang Xi, unleashing a Lightning Chain with each step.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—
Russell was too tired to say anything. Pang Guang was already on his deathbed, as he had written in his little notebook.
Swish, swish, swish!
Kang Xi brandished her spear, slaying the eagle circling overhead in mid-air. With the eagle dead, no other summoned creature remained alive before her. The dead creatures, their defenses greatly reduced, were engulfed by flames and turned to ashes in moments.
Before she could make a move, Pang Guang delivered himself to her doorstep, his staff landing right in front of her, a hand's width away from her nose.
Rumble!
Missed at point-blank range!
"With your aim, you shouldn't be a sorcerer in your next life..." Kang Xi didn't know what to say, so he thrust his spear into Pang Guang's eye socket, the flames from the spear tip burning him into an empty shell.
The fight was chaotic, but one thing Kang Xi was clear about: no matter how inaccurate Pang Guang was, he wouldn't have missed even when firing a cannon at point-blank range. Russell must have used some kind of magic to help her get through the danger.
"This man is nice, but unfortunately I'm too late. Sister Xinlan beat me to it..."
