24 Human Skin Paste (1/2)

Bang!

Bang, bang!

One after another, without stopping.

Tang Qi was badly hurt. Although intense pain traveled all over his body, his palms held the gun steadily as he channeled all his strength into it. One after another, with a sense of rhythm.

The first bullet resulted in the explosion of the regenerated half of the sea monster's head.

The second bullet caused the other half to explode as well.

The third, fourth, and fifth bullets shattered its limbs and torso.

The sixth bullet was aimed at its big and fleshy fishtail.

When the last bullet turned into golden flames and shattered the tail into pieces of meat that floated around them, Tang Qi's eyes saw a strange gray misty humanoid figure dash out from the smashed corpse fragments that were lying on the ground.

This shadow was almost exactly the same as the Dugong sea monster. The only difference was that its face was a blend of human and sea monster, continuously tearing and fusing. It wailed as it fled toward some houses.

…Until a palm with a dazzling golden light suddenly reached out and grabbed its tail.

Boom!

The Dugong sea monster had a taste of the tragedy that the Visage Canine of Bronx had suffered.

It was still able to scream when it was hit by a furnace bullet.

But after the golden flames ignited in the palm of Tang Qi, it could only struggle before turning into flying ashes.

At this moment, despite preparation, Tang Qi was taken aback by the activity in his head.

He felt a ”bang” as his head started trembling.

After swallowing the soul of the Visage Canine earlier, what he experienced was like a little stream.

But at this moment, it felt more like a tidal wave that was composed entirely of golden spots of light, pouring from his palms into that gray foggy space in his mind.

Over there, Tang Qi watched as the small area of ​​the golden lights expanded and doubled in size.

What followed was a surge of scorching-hot aura that circled his limbs and body.

Tang Qi felt like he was in a furnace. Every breath he took, he seemed to be spewing out flames.

Parts of his body that had been severely injured by the Dugong sea monster healed quickly after that scorching breath had passed through them. Even the old injuries on his arm healed rapidly. Before he could feel the itchiness of growing flesh, it was overwhelmed by burning sensations.

Stream after stream of burning steam gushed out from Tang Qi's body.

All the disgusting mucus and pus in the room evaporated. However, the smell was pretty bad, and Stana almost fainted.

At the moment, Tang Qi did not care about all this.

The mingling of pain and comfort almost caused him to let out a groan.

He suppressed these feelings and looked at himself.

The special interface jumped out, and Tang Qi saw that the skill column had changed, just as he expected.

Moreover, there was not just one change.

As Tang Qi observed, the progress of the Furnace Meditation Method had increased from 0.01% to 0.2% as a coil of golden light flashed past.

The twenty-fold increase made Tang Qi almost jump in joy.

What made him even more pleasantly surprised was the Furnace's Eyes status underneath. The word ”Elementary” finally appeared, and its progress jumped directly to 0.1%.

The third skill, Chaga Fighting Technique, also progressed rapidly, and finally reached 0.15%.

When everything was settled, Tang Qi not only recovered from his injuries but also had a huge increase in all of his three skills.

The rapid progress was not just for show. Tang Qi could feel that he had indeed become stronger.

If he was to fight with the Dugong sea monster again, he would not be in such a terrible fix anymore.

This time around, Tang Qi was very fortunate to be able to kill that Dugong sea monster.

While they were both existences of the supernatural realm, there was a huge difference in power level.

Tang Qi might possess the Chaga Fighting Technique, the Golden Furnace Meditation Method, and a supernatural firearm, but he was nevertheless human. His physical attributes might be better than his peers, but they were still unable to match up to professional fighters.
