Chapter 179: 179 Chapter 179 – Battle of Liyang - Part 9 Although it took Tong one second to kill and leap to another target, Huangfu Song and his men managed to react after Tong killed the 10th archer . Soldiers with shields in front surrounded him to limit his movement . Spearmen on the second line held their Javelins and were ready to toss them to Tong . "Brat! Surrender! You're surrounded!" Tong looked around and noticed that he was surrounded so fast . He laughed . "Wow! I'm impressed . You have amazing disciplined soldiers, and they even moved without order! Should I say, as expected from the elites of the elites?" "If you knew it, you can surrender! Unlike those scoundrel friends of yours, I promise I will give you another chance in life!" Tong nodded in admiration . This person's psychological persuasion was also good . He checked his system map to see who the commander was . The name "Huangfu Song" appeared on the location of the speaker . 'Jackpot!' Tong laughed out loud by reflex after realizing that one of the grand commanders of the three armies was here . "Has he gone insane?" "He's lost it . " "Well, that's obvious . Any cornered rat will show its true inner side . " The shield bearers gossiped after they saw Tong's reaction . On the other hand, Huangfu Song did not think that way . 'His eyes and his expression aren't clouded with fear! That's not a despaired laugh!' Huangfu Song had a bad premonition . From his ability to read people, Tong did not reveal a hint of an insane person or a despaired prisoner . He trusted his instinct . This young man had to die right now . "Men! Kill him now!" "HAHAHA! It's too late! You can't escape! [Time Stop]!" Though Tong wanted to scream "ZA WARUDO" as the skill activation, he was afraid that one of the [???] sins would act up again . Every time he acted like a chunnibyou, this [Sin] always got stronger . > > The world became colorless as everything in this dimension was paused . "I wish I have a road roller in my inventory …" Tong leaped over the shield formation that surrounded him and landed in front of Huangfu Song . As usual, Tong took out a sharp blade and sliced his neck in one slash . > He gazed at the boiling grease in his inventory menu . He wanted to burn everybody here again as he did in the other day . However, he felt terrible for the people in Puyang Region since they had nothing to do with this battle . If Tong used the grease fire again, the innocents in this area would suffer as the wind still blowing southwest . "But I have other ways to kill all of you!" Instead of using grease fire, Tong ejected hundreds of cubic stones into mid-air from his inventory . These cubic stones moved by the discharged force and came to a stop . These over-a-ton stones hung over their heads, waiting for the time stop effect to run out . "I guess I should call it the mini-road-da-roller-da!" > "Whoops! Time to bail . " Tong started running away from this location to hide in the shadow of the trees nearby . He had not planned to retreat to his camp until he farmed all lifespans from these men . > Tong snapped his fingers . 'Zero!' > "Huh?" "What!?" "Where did he go?" Tong frowned from listening to the voice of the panic soldiers . A-hard-object-hit-the-meat sound, crushing impact sound, or bone cracking noise did not come . Aside from the soldiers' voice, it was silence . 'What happened!? I thought I used those boulders to crush them . Why!?' "General!" "General is dead!" The soldiers already noticed that Huangfu Song's neck was sliced open . He already fell on the ground and stopped breathing . Even though Tong stocked another 20,000 lifespans for the final reward of his soulmate quest, he was not happy with this development . Something was wrong during the last few seconds when he escaped back into the woods to hide . 'Dammit! If those stones killed the soldiers, my [Time Stop] skill would have been leveled up!' 'What exactly is going on?' Tong took a peek to see the situation outside as his radar map was filled with red dots . What he saw astonished and shocked him . The cubic stones were floating upward instead of falling . In mid-air, a white-haired old man in a Daoist robe was standing on one of the cubed rocks . 'Who!?' Tong looked at his radar map by instinct, yet the system map did not show him on it . 'How!?' "You must be thinking [How is this possible], right?" A haughty female voice sounded behind Tong . Tong sensed terrifying killing intent aura from the voice behind him . He leaped to the side by reflex . "I'll repeat your words, little demon . It's too late . You can't escape!" A white hand pieced through his iron armor and dug into his chest, breaking his ribs . The hand grabbed tight onto his beating heart and squeezed it . Blood leaked out from Tong's five orifices as multiple of his blood vessels ruptured from the sudden burst of blood pressure . "You can die, wicked demon!" The owner of the voice, the women in angelic robe, pulled out Tong's heart from his body . Confused, shocked, panicked, Tong stared at the face of the woman . Behind her back, eight white tentacle wings danced in the air . Tong gathered the last bit of his will and strength to chant a word in his brain . 'Regen!' > There was no time to feel pity for the lost lifespans from this regeneration skill . Tong used this opportunity that the woman thought he was already died by her hand to kick the ground and dashed at full speed toward the east . He faced the 10 G-Force again because of the sudden burst of speed . However, this time, he did not black out . His adrenaline ran into all of his blood vessels, and his brain overclocked in full power, making him be able to temporarily control every part of his body with a single thought . Within two seconds the angelic woman let her guard down, Tong dashed 300 meters away from her . "Huh? Is he still alive after all that? Oh, right . He has that [Yang Seed] skill . " This woman was none other than Liu Yang, the goddess-in-training and the successor of Athena that infiltrated this dimension . At the same time, the old man who was in the air and was observing them was Zuo Ci . "Goddess, that's enough . I've told you to give him a warning, not to kill him . " "Ha! He won't die from just that . If I don't kill him again, he won't remember!" Liu Yang chased after Tong without waiting for Zuo Ci's permission . She caught up with Tong within one breath . She reappeared by the right side of Tong as if she teleported . "As I said, you can't escape!" A flying kick was coming toward Tong's head . Thanked the overclock mode, he saw a kick coming at him . Even with his heightened sense, Tong still felt that the kick was still too fast . Tong raised his right elbow and used his left arm as a support . At the same time, he pointed his index finger at the attacking woman . 'Eject, boiling grease!' All the hot oil from Tong's [Inventory] was ejected in the shape of jet liquid stream as if it was shot out from a firefighter's hose . Liu Yang's kick landed on Tong's arms, breaking them, sending impact to his head, and sent Tong flying into the river . At the same moment, the jet boiling oil slammed onto Liu Yang's entire body, creating white smoke and burnt her white skins and clothes . Liu Yang screamed in pain as her skin reddened from the burn . However, it was temporary as her burnt skins were healing to counter the spreading wounds . Although the hot oil could not kill her, burning wounds were still a painful experience for her nonetheless . She glared at the direction where she sent Tong flying in resentment . "HOW DARE YOU! [Goddess of War], Weapon creation!" **************************** [Goddess of War] Cannot be leveled up . - The host can create all weapons, armors, or combat-related crafts from the dark age to the 21st-century . Skill Cost: None Skill Restriction: - Liu Yang can only use this skill . - This skill cannot be transferred, copied, or stolen . - Mortals can not use all items created by this skill . - This skill will be erased after its usage . **************************** > What she created was an armed ICBM which was set to detonate in 3 seconds . She flew on top of the river where Tong landed and was about to toss the missile into the river . "GODDESS! STAY YOUR HAND!" Zuo Ci also spread his ten black tentacle wings and exerted all of his power to stop the missile from falling into the river . It stopped in midair and shuttled upward to the sky faster than light speed . The missile was launched into space within a second . It exploded in the void without creating a sound . Liu Yang looked back at Zuo Ci with a frustrated expression . She had just sacrificed her best skill to kill this heretic demon, but this geezer stopped her . "You've wasted my skill! I demand compensation!" Zuo Ci squinted his eyes . This woman still did not know her place . Besides, his status had tremendously changed into something else that she should not be able to belate him anymore . "Be quiet!" With a snap of fingers, a lightning cage trapped Liu Yang inside and the electric current zapped into her body . "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The high-pitched scream resounded the night, alerting both Tong's soldiers and Imperial soldiers . Zuo Ci snapped his fingers again . The cage and the goddess were teleported elsewhere, leaving Zuo Ci alone in mid-air . On the river, Tong was floating face-up . Blood was running out from his nose and ears . The last kick of Liu Yang gave him a concussion . If Zuo Ci left him alone, he would cause permanent severe brain injuries . Tong also tried his best to stay awake despite his severe injuries . The clock in the system menu showed 11 . 35 PM . He had to wait for another 25 minutes before he could use his regeneration skill again . Zuo Ci dropped himself and stepped on the river . One of his tentacle wings touched Tong's forehead . He chanted . "[Soul of Charity], Heal!" The wing turned into a spirit of a young girl . She poured light into Tong's head, and all his injuries were healed in an instant . The spirit reverted into a tentacle wing and returned to the back of Zuo Ci again . Tong stared at Zuo Ci in astonishment . He had heard from the system goddess that he should be cautious about these beings . "Nice to meet you, young man . I'm Zuo Ci, the administrator of this planet . " "You have committed great sins that I have to come here personally to warn you!"
