"Attack!"
Without hesitation, Qin Dadi charged forward, a deep brown layer of rock rapidly condensing over his body, transforming him into a Stone Man in an instant.
Boom!
Two fireballs flew past Qin Dadi, tracing two semi-circular arcs in the air, shooting towards the Spirit Cat from left and right.
"Hiss~"
The Spirit Cat's lips curled, revealing sharp teeth. With a tip of its toe, it vanished into the shadows, letting the two fireballs collide in mid-air.
Swoosh~
The Spirit Cat leaped lightly, lunging towards Liu Zhaozhao at a ghostly speed.
Liu Zhaozhao was prepared, flames burst from his body, turning him into a man of fire in an instant.
Seeing this, the Spirit Cat immediately halted, as if inertia didn't exist for him.
Just then, a blade's gleam appeared from the side.
Xiao Yunlong wielded a Black Pattern Battle Saber, with a green glow swirling along its blade, and delivered a Tornado Slash aimed straight at the Spirit Cat's head.
The Spirit Cat twisted its body, as if boneless, dodging the battle saber with a bizarrely seductive movement, brushing just past the tip of its nose, then turned with a claw aimed at Xiao Yunlong's face.
Xiao Yunlong immediately leaned back, but the cat's claw still left three white scratches on the visor of his tactical helmet.
"Meow!!!"
The Spirit Cat bristled all over, its body lowering, almost skimming the ground as it brushed past Xiao Yunlong, accompanied by the sound of fabric tearing in the next moment.
Xiao Yunlong's leg armor was torn open, flesh and blood rolled back, looking extremely gruesome.
"Uh~"
Xiao Yunlong's leg weakened, nearly losing his balance, struck by a wave of horror.
It's so fast, so fast
He was skilled in Wind Attribute Martial Techniques, with a graceful and agile Body Technique, but before the Spirit Cat, he seemed like a moving wooden stake, utterly defenseless.
But Xiao Yunlong also knew this was the power of bloodline and talent; unless he could cultivate Wind Martial Techniques to a very high level, even three of him combined wouldn't be the Spirit Cat's match.
"Yunlong!"
Qin Dadi turned around, and upon seeing Xiao Yunlong's thigh bleeding profusely, he nearly ground his teeth to pieces.
At that moment, how he wished his opponent was a tall Power Type Beastman, even if it were a Black Iron Beast Bloodline, the Earth Dragon Team would still be unafraid.
With him acting as the tank, Xiao Yunlong harassing from the side, Liu Zhaozhao suppressing with flames, plus Sharpshooter Qin Tian lurking in the shadows, their chances of victory were considerable.
But unfortunately, the enemy turned out to be the Spirit Cat, the last entity anyone wanted to face.
Clever, agile, cunning
Fast to a despairing degree
Swoosh~
The Spirit Cat crouched, its four paws touching the ground, those emerald green eyes filled with cruelty and mockery. In the next instant, it sprung forward like a shadow toward Xiao Yunlong.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunlong hurriedly retreated, but at that moment, his injured leg suddenly gave out, causing him to stumble, and panic and terror floated in his eyes instantly.
Swoosh~
The Spirit Cat raised its claw to slash at Xiao Yunlong's throat, but as its forearm lifted, the fur on its back suddenly bristled.
Without a second's hesitation, the Spirit Cat decisively executed a front roll, dodging the bullet that was originally aimed at its back.
"Hiss!"
The Spirit Cat turned around, claws embedded in the ground, arching its back, baring its teeth like an angry wild cat, glaring back with fury.
Qin Tian gently placed the rifle on the ground. He could foresee that taking a potshot wouldn't hurt the Spirit Cat, but when the outcome occurred just as expected, he still felt a twinge of regret.
If that shot had hit, he wouldn't need to take any more risks.
"Meow!!!"
The Spirit Cat screeched, powerful legs springing it towards Qin Tian.
"Watch out, Qin Tian!!!"
Xiao Yunlong, Qin Dadi, and Liu Zhaozhao shouted in alarm, despair already clouding their eyes.
Qin Tian was just a clone newly born a few days ago, with exceptional shooting talent and incredible physical prowess, but before the Spirit Cat, even they as Tier Two Spiritualists and Superpower Users were utterly powerless, what could Qin Tian do?
Swoosh~
The Spirit Cat raised its claw to slash Qin Tian's throat, moving with phantom speed, but just then, as if having a premonition, Qin Tian ducked low, letting the claw swipe over his head.
What!!!
The three of them had not expected Qin Tian's reflexes to be so swift, and they were both shocked and pleased. But what happened next left them utterly stupefied.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~
The Spirit Cat swung its claw continuously, moving like an illusion, striking from tricky angles.
However, Qin Tian dodged by crouching, bowing, rolling, and leaping as if drunk, always managing to evade the Spirit Cat's attacks with strange contorted postures.
To an outsider, it might seem as if they were filming a movie, and Qin Tian appeared more like Jackie Chan, performing one miracle move after another.
"This..."
Qin Dadi, Xiao Yunlong, and Liu Zhaozhao were agape. They never imagined Qin Tian possessed such a capability; those reflexes and skills were almost like a human-shaped Spirit Cat!
At this juncture, they wanted to assist, but the two were too tightly entwined. Qin Dadi was too slow to keep up, Liu Zhaozhao feared collateral damage, and Xiao Yunlong was incapacitated by his leg injury.
Helplessly, they could only watch Qin Tian and the Spirit Cat tangle, their minds anxious to the breaking point.
Swoosh~~
The sharp claw brushed past his throat, sending goosebumps coursing through Qin Tian.
He couldn't just keep dodging.
Qin Tian's mind raced. He had thought about counterattacking, but lacking combat training, he didn't know how to strike effectively. Even if he pummeled the Spirit Cat's face, it probably wouldn't do much.
Such actions would seriously disrupt his rhythm, providing the Spirit Cat with openings.
If that was the case, he had no choice but to gamble.
Gritting his teeth, fierceness glinted in Qin Tian's eyes.
Swoosh~
The cat's claw darted towards his eyes; Qin Tian tilted his head, lightning-fast, seizing the Spirit Cat's wrist.
The Spirit Cat's wrist was slender, its fur somewhat bristly, unpleasant to touch.
The Spirit Cat was clearly taken aback that Qin Tian, who had been dodging, would suddenly grip its arm. Taking advantage of the surprise, Qin Tian swiftly extended his other hand, grabbing the back of the Spirit Cat's head, and yanked fiercely towards himself.
Bam!!!
Their foreheads slammed together with a dull thud.
The tactical helmet cracked, the transparent visor clattering to the ground.
Qin Tian didn't stop, following up with another powerful headbutt.
Bam!
This time the sound was even more muffled and resonant.
The tempered shards scraped across his forehead, leaving a deep bloody cut. His head started to spin, stars seemed to blink in his eyes.
But even now, he didn't let go, rallying all his strength for another headbutt.
Bam~~
The helmet flew off as their foreheads clashed with brutal force.
This time, Qin Tian truly couldn't withstand it, his vision spun, blood gushed from his nose, and he staggered backward, releasing his grip.
He was in a bad state, but the Spirit Cat was worse off.
Qin Tian, with a Green Talent of High tier Strength, had physical attributes comparable to Green skinned Orcs, while the Spirit Cat was a standard high agility, low defense creature, and even with Spiritual Ability Tempering, its bones were no match for Qin Tian's toughness.
Its skull was already shattered, its vision darkened completely.
Just then, a massive fireball struck from behind, hitting the Spirit Cat's back. Simultaneously, the gleam of a blade suddenly shone.
Schlick
The large head was severed, rolling twice on the ground, the ghostly green eyes still faintly showing despair and terror.
