Chapter 49: Pissing Me Off! Spirits of Nature

"Ah …"

Jiang He was dumbstruck.

What was going on with Wu Xingchen?

Why would he bother the Twin-Headed Lion Mastiff in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

But never mind the Twin-Headed Lion Mastiff, why would you scold me?

In the dark night.

The Twin-Headed Lion Mastiff's bellows and Wu Xingchen's curses intertwined as man and mastiff clashed on the rooftop, collapsing the roof and sinking down to the next floor.

How could an abandoned building withstand such a force of impact?

Man and mastiff crumbled floor after floor, before crashing through the first floor's wall to fight their way out.

By then, Jiang He was using both hands and feet to climb to the roof of a neighboring building.

Just like Wu Xingchen before.

Sprawled on the edge of the roof, he poked his head out to watch the battle on the street below … although his head was not as eye-catching as Wu Xingchen's.

"Amazing!"

"As expected of the leader of a martial artist party, Wu Xingchen's ability is the best even among rank-fives, and he's a cut above Sixth Brother of the Rumbling Thunder Dojo whom I defeated!"

In the end, Wu Xingchen was a rank-five martial artist.

He would not be defeated so easily even against the Twin-Headed Lion Mastiff.

Charging his True Qi to the limit, Wu Xingchen brandished the alloy staff in his hand with vigor and vigor. No matter how ferocious the Twin-Headed Lion Mastiff was, it could not penetrate Wu Xingchen's defenses!

Instead, Wu Xingchen's staff struck its body and sent it tumbling over a dozen meters away.

"Roar!"

The Twin-Headed Lion Mastiff rose to its feet again.

It let out a low growl and took a step forward, circling Wu Xingchen half a circle. Suddenly, its body flashed and it pounced forward again.

Wu Xingchen was sent flying, crashing into the abandoned building across the street.

That building had suffered too many impacts in a short period of time, and was shaking as if it would collapse at any moment.

Inside the abandoned building.

Wu Xingchen was coughing blood.

Brandishing the alloy staff in his hand, he smashed it against the wall on the other side, breaking through it and crawling out, trying to use that chance to escape.

"That vermin is a lot stronger than the last time we fought … I'm afraid that he's not far from reaching rank-six!"

"Even if I used my secret Art, I could only exchange a few blows with him."

"Once my Secret Art's Art Translation: I'm Wu Xingchen, I'm Xingchen, I would die!"

The moment Wu Xingchen rushed out of the building with the alloy staff in his hand, he used his movement skill. With a whoosh, he entered a window on the second floor of the opposite building!

Roar!

The two-headed Lion Mastiff roared

With the experience of being 'toyed' by Jiang He before, it became smarter this time.

Almost as soon as Wu Xingchen rushed out of the building, it roared and chased after him.

Whoosh!

It was right behind Wu Xingchen, leaping high into the air, intending to follow Wu Xingchen and jump into the opposite building through the same window!

Bang!

That was when a gunshot echoed through the night sky.

The female sniper of the Celestial Martial Party, who was hiding somewhere, had made her move.

An orange-red bullet with a long tongue of flame shot into the body of the two-headed lion mastiff.

The Two-Headed Lion Mastiff's body shook violently and fell heavily to the ground.

Its four paws cracked the concrete floor beneath its feet as it glared viciously at the abandoned building where Jiang He was … to be precise, it was staring at one of the floors of the building where Jiang He was.

The sniper and the others had snuck into the fourth floor of the building at some point in time.

By the window.

One of them was holding a rocket launcher.

He pulled the trigger …A cannonball was shot out.

"Who sent you?!"

Wu Xingchen's bellow echoed in their ears through the team's walkie-talkie. "Run, run …"

And yet …

It was too late.

In the split second that the shell was fired, the Lion Mastiff had locked on to their position.

Its four thick paws abruptly clenched, and it dodged to the side!

Boom!

The fiery light of the shell's explosion shone where the Lion Mastiff was, and it was already lunging towards the building!

Its burst speed was over 60m/s.

Using the debris of a collapsed building at the center of the street as a foothold, it leapt high into the air and lunged towards the window on the fourth floor.

"Let's go!"

The female sniper of the Stardust team, Sister Cai, shouted and pulled the trigger of her sniper rifle. The huge recoil shook her body, but when the special armor-piercing sniper bullet hit the body of the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff, the red fur of the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff burst into flames.

Even the special armor-piercing bullets could not penetrate its defense!

One of its heads suddenly opened its mouth.

In his mouth.

There was also a ball of fire condensing.

"Not good!"

Sis Cai yelled into the walkie-talkie, "Fire-type superpower … This beast has a fire-type superpower … Captain, leave now!"

She knew.

There was no way he could escape.

He raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff's open mouth.

"Bastard!"

At this moment.

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard.

Sister Cai saw a figure descend from the sky under the moonlight.

His voice was like thunder.

He held the saber with both hands.

Like a god descending from the heavens, he raised the saber in his hand and slashed at the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff!

This person.

It was none other than Jiang He!

He was hiding on the rooftop.

When he saw the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff leaping high into the air, he knew that his chance had come. Ignoring everything else, he gulped down his last berserk pill and promptly leapt off the building!

Raising his saber high, he swung it down!

The Two-Headed Lion Mastiff noticed Jiang He at once.

Still, it was in the air and unable to leverage or evade, and could only lift its head that was charging a ball of fire in its mouth!

Boom!

A ball of fire shot out of its mouth!

Be that as it may …It was too late!

Jiang He's saber was already swinging down the moment the ball of fire shot out of its mouth!

The ball of fire was cut in two, grazing Jiang He's waist and shooting behind him before disappearing into the night sky!

The saber chopped down on the head!

Splat!

One of the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff's heads was directly split apart.

Its enormous body fell from the height of a four-story building and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Meanwhile, Jiang He used the recoil from that slash to do a somersault in the air and landed at the window where Sister Cai was.

Sister Cai was dumbstruck.

She was left dumbstruck.

Clutching her sniper rifle, she stared at Jiang He with her beautiful eyes and could not help exclaiming, "Mister … Mister Jiang?"

Jiang He had certainly cut down the ball of fire the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff breathed with a single slash.

However, the ball of fire was too hot, and after it was cut down, it brushed past Jiang He's lower body before dissipating, which was why everything below Jiang He's waist was burnt to ashes.

His pants were burnt to ashes as well.

He looked down at his crotch.

Affected by the Berserk Pill, he was instantly enraged and bellowed, "Damn it … my mane!"

"That bastard, he actually burned off all my … fur!"

Sister Cai was dumbstruck.

Her lips twitched.

She then turned to look at Jiang He's lower body by reflex.

Jiang He dug around and showed her, saying with a belly full of rage, "Take a look … isn't there a single mane?"

Sister Cai was dumbstruck.

She nodded stiffly.

"Aaaaaaaaaah!!!"

"I'm so pissed!"

"Animal!"

"Give me back my mane!"

Jiang He stuck his head out of the window and bellowed.

Underground.

The Two-Headed Lion Mastiff that Jiang He had cut off was actually not dead, although its aura had weakened considerably. It crawled up from the ground and fled into the distance with a whoosh.

"Don't run, animal!"

Jiang He bellowed, leaping off the fourth floor, combat blade in hand.

He landed heavily, shattering the hardened ground beneath his feet as he cursed and chased after the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff, blade in hand.

Wu Xingchen appeared out of nowhere then.

"Little Cai."

"Are you alright?"

Sister Cai shook her head stiffly. Coming to her senses, she quickly asked, "Should we help Jiang He, captain?"

Wu Xingchen poked his bald head out of the window and said, "No need. There's no telling what secret technique the kid used, but his strength and speed have increased considerably. Moreover, that combat blade he's wielding is extraordinary, and it seems to be an S-grade combat blade … the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff's ability is greatly reduced after he cut off one of its heads, and it's probably no match for Jiang He now."

Ahem!

With that said …Wu Xingchen coughed out mouthfuls of blood, clutching his chest and cursing through clenched teeth, "Damn it … I broke a few of my ribs in a head-on clash with the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff, and that lunatic took advantage of it!"

Even as he spoke …He chuckled again.

"But that's fine too."

"This ruined city would be safe from now on if the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff could be taken out … our Star Party could definitely make this a permanent base."

Soon …

The Two-Headed Lion Mastiff's bellows and Jiang He's cursing could be heard faintly from the underground garage of the Central Square.

Wu Xingchen led the other members of the Star Party to the garage as quickly as they could.

By the time they reached the entrance to the garage, the sounds of battle had already stopped.

Jiang He was dragging the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff's corpse out of the garage by its leg with his right hand.

His combat blade was stabbed into the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff's body.

In his left hand, he was holding a jade-green blade of grass that glowed with a mysterious green radiance under the moonlight.

"Captain Wu … you guys are here too?"

Jiang He extended his left hand and asked, "Do any of you recognize this thing? I found this in the Two-Headed Lion Mastiff's nest … It's a stalk of grass, and it's actually glowing. Is it something good?

"Essence of Flora!"

Wu Xingchen cried out in surprise and said bitterly, "There's actually a Spirit of Nature in the Twin Headed Lion Mastiff's lair … Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have killed this beast last time no matter the cost!"
