139 Damn System! Why Is It So Hard to Kill An MC!? (1/2)
Under the moonlight and the dark sky, shadow-based skills had the advantage ground.
Xie Tian's movement became rigid. He couldn't move his body or his flame saber.
”Die!”
Cao Mao aimed at Xie Tian's neck. He swung Killer Queen down.
”SCRAM!”
Xie Tian released his fire aura shockwave and summoned his incomplete avatar, a fire dragon.
BOOM
The shockwave negated the shadow bind. The sudden burst of energy sent Cao Mao flying backward. The latter flew twenty meters before he could get back on his feet.
But Xie Tian had finished casting follow up skills. Ten dragon fireballs chased after him.
It was too late to dodge!
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Ten consecutive explosives detonated as they hit a target.
Xie Tian panted and drew more spirit pills from his spatial rings to replenish his energy. He gulped all the pills down his throat while the fire on his body healed his wounds.
Suddenly, before Xie Tian, a thousand ice lances appeared out of nowhere. They rained down from the sky and come for him.
In a panic, Xie Tian circulated his essence into his feet, using Fire Dance Steps, a footwork technique, to get away from the AOE attack.
Meanwhile, the black smoke around Cao Mao slowly dispersed as the wind blew them away.
Cao Mao was unharmed under the ice barrier dome. Behind him, White Album was floating. She was the one who cast a barrier dome on Cao Mao, protecting her master, while casting the rain of ice lances.
”Get rid of him.”
'On it, master!'
The spirit of Xu Xiuying's clone, White Album, rushed toward Xie Tian as she created two ice swords in her hands.
As White Album flew toward the protagonist, she sent fifteen ice bullets, ten ice boulders, and five ice spikes toward him. While she was firing random ranged-attacks, she chased after him with two ice swords.
Sensing the oncoming attacks, Xie Tian dodged the ranged skills and ran away at a full speed. The incomplete dragon avatar behind his back glanced at White Album for a moment before it merged with the heaven-grade saber.
The saber treasure transformed into a flame elemental spirit. It turned around and fired the only strand of fire element Qi it had stored, creating a flame tornado toward White Album.
'Fuck!'
As White Album could only use Cao Mao's energy, she didn't have ice element Qi or water element Qi to counter the fire element attack. The spirit flew back into Cao Mao's side to escape from the tornado's range.
Still, the ice-based attacks of White Album showed some results. One of the ice bullets went through Xie Tian's left shoulder. An ice lance from the sky pinned his left foot while an ice spike punctured his right leg from the ground.
Looking at the tornado of death, Cao Mao desummoned White Album, ”Come inside me.”
'I don't have a dick. How can I cum inside you?'
”There's no time for a joke. If you want to live, get back.”
White Album returned to Cao Mao's body. The latter's feet kicked the ground and left the place with an after image.
Haunting Ghost Footwork
Within a second, Cao Mao ran a hundred meters away from the tornado.
The flame tornado devoured everything it had traversed while chasing after Cao Mao. As it moved, its size got smaller as the tornado consumed a lot of energy to maintain.
Cao Mao sneered as he deemed the tornado as a wasteful skill. Since it was not a threat, he took a sharp turn and charged at Xie Tian.
Meanwhile, Xie Tian managed to pull himself out of the ice spike and the ice lance. The fire on his body was also doused by the ice attacks, so he couldn't heal himself with the Supreme Dragon Recovery anymore. He drew out more healing pills from his spatial rings and ate them.
As Xie Tian had eaten too many healing pills today, the pill effect decreased by 50%. His injuries took longer to heal.
The wound hadn't closed yet, but Cao Mao was flashing and teleporting with short steps. The latter was rushing at him from the front.
Xie Tian gritted his teeth and waved his hand, sending 10 dragon fireballs randomly toward Cao Mao's direction.
As the fireballs were flying toward Cao Mao's face, the latter also groaned and used more of his abilities.
Telekinesis +20
Fire Manipulation +20
Cao Mao tried to steal the fireballs, but his cultivation base was weaker than Xie Tian. He could only alter their flying course.
The dragon fireball changed its trajectory. Cao Mao tilted his head to the right side while the fireball passed by, missing Cao Mao's left ear by a hairbreadth.
Still, several fireballs landed on the ground, causing explosions and eruptions.
Because of the obstacles, Cao Mao's speed decreased. The Haunting Ghost Footwork was canceled.
As soon as Cao Mao hesitated, the flame tornado got closer to him. Even if the size reduced from a 200 meters tall tornado to 190 meters, it could still kill him instantly.
