Chapter 876: Chapter 664: Zong Ge vs. Ice Calamity—A Torrential Blood Rain
Zong Ge pursued while shooting.
Seeing this scene, He Gaitou couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
He thought to himself, “Long Fu has a weakness that’s not quite a weakness—compared to his close combat ability, his long-range battle is weak.”
“In general duels, he would use the Alchemy Crossbow to supplement the deficiency in his long-range capability.”
“In his battle with Teng Donglang, he used a series of badges called ‘Sword Returning Dragon Scale’. This equipment made a great contribution!”
“But this Dragon Scale Badge isn’t his, as long as he hasn’t borrowed it, his long-range aspect has a deficiency.”
This was the result of the research He Gaitou conducted with Bing Yang.
The research subject was the Magic Images of duels from Long Fu’s external sales, as well as the battle with Hua Tang.
After all, the external declared level of Long Fu is only Silver Level. Fighters at this level indeed have weaker long-range battle skills compared to close-range.
Although Zong Ge managed to transform Offensive Chameleon into a long-range weapon during the battle with Hua Tang, paired with long-range Combat Skills, there were no significant results on Hua Tang.
In the face of the agile Hua Tang, Zong Ge appeared clumsy and heavy.
Zong Ge pursued while also taking out a folding crossbow.
He held the crossbow with both hands, constantly shooting arrows.
Bing Yang dodged with all his might, his movements agile and graceful.
“Good dodging ability, is this your reliance, to use it to challenge me?” Zong Ge taunted.
Bing Yang snorted coldly, a beautiful flip avoiding most of the arrows. After landing, he lightly flicked his One-Handed Sword, knocking away the subsequent crossbow arrows, revealing his solid swordsmanship.
Combat Skill—Rapid March.
Combat Skill—Conflict.
Zong Ge’s mastered Combat Skills were all military skills or public Combat Skills, plain yet practical, but with ordinary effects.
However, using both Combat Skills simultaneously at this moment still made his speed soar, rapidly closing the distance between him and the enemy.
Zong Ge once closed in tightly.
Bing Yang stayed fully vigilant, not panicking.
He activated the ring on his toe, his speed immediately soared, easily opening up the distance again.
Zong Ge’s gaze slightly sank; he voluntarily slowed his speed, paying attention to positioning.
His speed was very slow, but with rich combat experience, he relied on the walls around the dueling field and long-range firepower, forcefully pushing the faster Bing Yang to slowly enter a corner.
Bing Yang’s speed greatly exceeded Zong Ge’s, but the battle environment was relatively enclosed.
He took a step back, cleverly jumping onto the vertical wall, then pushed off firmly, his whole body like an arrow released from a bow, shooting out quickly.
His speed soared once more, causing the audience to exclaim softly.
This speed is rare, making one doubt whether Bing Yang had recovered to the Golden Level.
Combat Skill—Violent Shooting.
Combat Skill—Rapid Shooting.
Combat Skill—Firepower Vent!
Zong Ge’s eyes sparkled sharply, shooting all the crossbow arrows on him without care.
For a moment, his long-range firepower exploded to the extreme.
Bing Yang tried his best to dodge in the air, avoiding a majority of the crossbow arrows, but due to the sheer number of arrows, he was still hit by quite a few.
The lethal impact of the crossbow arrows was significantly weakened under the defense of the leather armor suit.
Zong Ge directly discarded the folding crossbow in his hands, once again using Combat Skills [Rapid March], [Conflict] to close in.
Seeing Zong Ge charging over, just as Bing Yang was about to activate all acceleration devices, Zong Ge suddenly drew dual guns from his back.
Combat Skill—Power Throw.
Combat Skill—One-step Refraction.
Zong Ge’s arm muscles shook, and his fighting energy erupted, causing the Golden Level dual guns to trace two golden illusions in mid-air.
Bing Yang accelerated, retreating towards the back right.
The dual guns shot at his previous position, refracting like beams of light, chasing after him again.
While Bing Yang dodged again, Zong Ge threw out a Little Thunder God Flying Hammer.
Three weapons roughly surrounded Bing Yang from two directions, front and rear.
Bing Yang took a deep breath and, for the first time, displayed Combat Skills while throwing out a dagger.
The dagger hit the Little Thunder God Flying Hammer, instantly petrifying both, falling to the ground.
After deploying Combat Skills, he became even more agile, successfully dodging the refraction of the dual guns.
Taking advantage of the time while he dodged, Zong Ge managed to close the distance to about 30 meters.
Just as Bing Yang was about to retreat again, Zong Ge reached behind him with both hands and immediately pulled out the Golden Flower Steel Saw.
With the infusion of fighting energy, the steel saw spun crazily, emitting a buzzing hum, extremely violent.
Zong Ge’s movements became even more violent.
He didn’t hold the Golden Flower Steel Saw but instead used it as a giant flying dart, hurling it out fiercely.
Combat Skill—Automatic Targeting!
The Golden Flower Steel Saw spun continuously in the vertical direction, slashing towards Bing Yang.
Bing Yang was taken aback; his wrist shook. From his sleeve fell a Magic Scroll, which he subsequently unfurled completely.
In the next moment, the scroll was activated, forming an Ice Wall.
The Ice Wall stood up instantly.
The Golden Flower Steel Saw pulled a parabolic curve in mid-air, descending from above, striking the Ice Wall.
Crackling…
The steel saw constantly cut, quickly slicing through the Ice Wall, exploding a large amount of golden sparks.
Golden sparks danced in the air, forming blossoms, drifting towards Bing Yang.
Bing Yang didn’t take it seriously; he waved his One-Handed Sword, generating a cold wind, sweeping the blooming golden flowers.
While all his attention was focused on the Golden Flower Steel Saw and Zong Ge.
The forceful momentum of the Golden Flower Steel Saw ended, getting stuck on the Ice Wall.
Zong Ge was still a distance away from Bing Yang.
Bing Yang was about to retreat when suddenly a mutation occurred!
The drifting golden flowers actually penetrated the sword wind, their speed suddenly increased, shooting all over Bing Yang’s body before he could react.
The golden flowers quickly dissolved, becoming streams of liquid metal.
Within almost a second, the liquid metal interconnected, forming chains, binding Bing Yang’s hands and feet and rapidly intensifying the restraining force.
“Is this… Offensive Chameleon?!” Bing Yang exclaimed in shock.
“What is happening? Clearly Offensive Chameleon is still in his hands.” He Gaitou was also puzzled.
He guessed correctly; the fists in Zong Ge’s hands were indeed Offensive Chameleon.
But disguised as golden flowers was also the case.
The answer is simple—two items of Offensive Chameleon!
Golden Level equipment itself can be mass-produced.
The duelists secretly sponsored He Gaitou, trying their best to equip Bing Yang. Zi Di deepened cooperation with the Lijian family through two new Magic Potions, exchanging for more detailed intelligence and more equipment.
The second item of Offensive Chameleon was among them.
Combat Skill—Steel Shackles.
Zong Ge’s Combat Skill empowered Offensive Chameleon, delaying its activation moment, perfectly timed.
Bing Yang instinctively tried to free himself with all his strength; the chains clanked, seemingly breaking.
Ultimately, the disguised golden flowers of Offensive Chameleon were too few, and the transformed metal chains too thin.
With a soft sound, Bing Yang broke free from the chains, regaining his freedom of movement.
But Zong Ge seized the moment, successfully reaching him.
Instantly, He Gaitou frowned, “Bing Yang hasn’t fought for a long time. Despite repeated intense training, his battle reaction is still a beat slow, and his tactical execution is not thorough!”
If it were He Gaitou, he would retreat and open the distance despite being injured.
But Bing Yang did not choose this.
He wielded his One-Handed Sword, blocking Zong Ge’s pair of Iron Fists.
Clang clang clang.
The transformed gloves of Offensive Chameleon and the One-Handed Sword constantly collided, producing ear-piercing clinks and golden sparks.
Zong Ge’s right fist suddenly morphed into a shield.
His left hand grasped, transforming the fist into a Short Spear.
He used the shield to block the sword’s horizontal cut, continuously thrusting with the Short Spear.
Combat Skill—Gun Forest.
Within an instant, the Short Spear thrust dozens of times, extremely fast, leaving shadows on the retina.
Ice Calamity had no time to use combat skills, only able to rely on the defensive leather armor.
Fortunately, it held up.
The defensive gear was quite powerful, withstanding the puncture of the short spear, only leaving white marks on the leather armor’s surface.
Ice Calamity wielded the one-handed sword, performing combat skills.
The blade of the one-handed sword instantly became flexible, forming a curve, stabbing at Zong Ge’s right ear from a tricky angle.
Zong Ge’s right-hand shield deformed once again, transforming into a long whip.
The long whip flicked, coiling around the thin sword, neutralizing the offensive.
His left-hand short spear also transformed again, forming a straight-edged machete.
Zong Ge’s left wrist turned, directly facing Ice Calamity’s right hand holding the one-handed sword.
Ice Calamity refused to let go, and it was too late to perform defensive combat skills, managing only to withstand with the defensive gear.
The blade struck Ice Calamity’s protective arm.
The defensive leather armor held strong, enduring the attack.
But the next moment, the straight-edged machete turned into shackles, locking Ice Calamity’s wrist, and Zong Ge’s right foot kicked.
A liquid metal sprayed out along with the kick, forming a round hammer.
Ice Calamity glared fiercely, intending to defend, but it was too late.
He could only withstand with the defensive leather armor.
Boom.
A muffled sound, Ice Calamity’s back arched. Though it was defended, the blunt force was not easy to dissipate.
In this manner, Zong Ge simultaneously used two offensive Chameleons, attacking relentlessly.
The Chameleon weapons in his hands continually transformed with new forms.
Sometimes as a thin sword for piercing, sometimes a straight blade for slashing, sometimes a long stick for sweeping, sometimes a shield for blocking…
The attack speed was very fast, and the attack frequency extremely high, even more surprising was that all his attacks were executed skillfully, without any fluff.
Zong Ge’s mastery as a weapon expert was demonstrated vividly at this moment!
If it were merely a matter of using weapons, it would be acceptable, but the key was that Zong Ge could also coordinate and perform corresponding combat skills.
Whip skills, blade skills, spear skills… although all were the most widespread and popular, their frequent usage gave a dazzling impression.
Ice Calamity retreated step by step.
He was overwhelmed with defending, feeling as if a metal storm was rising before him! Various swords, spears, axes, halberds, hooks, and whips kept coming at him.
He constantly reacted too late, unable to defend in time, could only withstand with the defensive gear.
Once or twice wasn’t much, five or six times was tolerable, but after a dozen times, even over twenty times, the defensive gear gradually weakened.
Marks left by various weapons nearly covered the surfaces of the leather armor, protective arms, and leather pants.
“Idiot, retreat quickly! Retreat back!!” He Gaitou shouted loudly.
But his voice was drowned out by the shouts of other spectators.
The gamblers who bet on Long Fu were jubilant, while those who bet on Ice Calamity yelled furiously.
“Get in there, don’t retreat.”
“Fight him, don’t retreat!”
“Fight back, fight back, you coward!!”
Seeing Ice Calamity continuously taking a beating since the close combat started had those bettors really anxious, nearly to death.
Combat Skill—Chain Stabbing.
Combat Skill—Armor-Piercing Puncture!
Zong Ge’s right hand dagger stabbed through the leather armor several times, dragging out bright red blood trails.
There was blood!
The defense was breached!
His strong attack finally yielded results.
The intense pain snapped Ice Calamity back to his senses.
“I have no chance in close combat.”
“If this continues, I will lose.”
“No, I must use all my strength to create distance and execute a war of attrition!”
But now he wanted to escape, it wasn’t easy.
Zong Ge would definitely not allow him to easily create distance.
His offensive was too high in frequency, now with the breach in defense, if Ice Calamity disregarded everything to flee, he would pay a heavy price.
“Hurry with the Frost Aura!” He Gaitou wished he could yell in Ice Calamity’s ear.
As if hearing his reminder, Ice Calamity thought of his strongest trump card: “I can only use that move!”
“Use the Frost Aura, repel Long Fu!”
“That’s right, the Frost Aura has the magical potion ‘Beautiful Future’ effects, even He Gaitou and the Warden dare not contact it. Let alone Silver Level Long Fu?”
Combat Skill—Frost Aura!
Ice Calamity’s body shook, fully deploying an aura.
A sense of alarm suddenly rose in Zong Ge’s heart, sensing a strong threat from the Frost Aura.
A vicious look appeared on his face.
No retreat, not even a hint of hesitation.
Quick attack, continue the quick attack.
Frenzied assault, maintain the frenzied assault!
“You’re crazy, my Frost Aura has the lingering effects of ‘Beautiful Future’!”
“It’s as if you’re constantly consuming the magical potion ‘Beautiful Future’, you’re doomed.”
“Stop it, stop it.”
“Stop now, stop, you madman!!!” Ice Calamity shouted.
But Zong Ge bathed in the Frost Aura, his expression steely, with no intention of retreating.
“I want a decisive victory! I want a swift victory!”
“So, Ice Calamity… die for me!!” Zong Ge shouted in his heart.
The offensive Chameleons in his hands turned into two short blades, slashing into streams of dazzling blade light.
Slashing through the leather armor, blade after blade into flesh.
Ice Calamity mustered all his fighting energy, but was horrified to find it had been depleted!
How could it be?!
The specific reason was actually quite simple.
Ice Calamity was once Golden Level, now only Silver Level. The quality and scope of a Silver Level’s fighting energy were far inferior to that of Gold Level.
Though he often could not perform combat skills, he had used equipment many times.
Especially since this equipment was excellent, with even more Golden Level gear than Zong Ge.
For a Silver Level to use Golden Level equipment, could the consumption of fighting energy not be high?
Ice Calamity realized this now only because he was entirely led by Zong Ge’s rhythm. The pressure from the latter was too great, he was defending with all his strength, his attention entirely on blocking attacks, unable to consider anything else.
Comparing Zong Ge, on the surface, he was Silver Level, but in reality, he was Golden Level, with abundant fighting energy!
Ice Calamity’s depletion of fighting energy signaled his elegy.
Without the reinforcement of fighting energy, his defensive power plummeted.
Zong Ge’s weapon finally turned into fists, his sharp fingertips piercing into Ice Calamity’s chest.
The next moment, Zong Ge directly injected fighting energy into Ice Calamity’s body, using his body as a weapon.
The fighting energy reached its zenith.
Bang!
Ice Calamity suddenly exploded, blood and shattered bones flying everywhere, turning into a rain of blood.
Zong Ge was entirely covered in blood, rapidly pooling into a puddle at his feet.
He slowly lowered his arms, his stature towering like a mountain. He slightly raised his head, slowly surveying the audience.
The spectators he gazed at couldn’t help but silence themselves.
Ferocious!
Valiant!
In this moment, Zong Ge profoundly intimidated everyone.
