Although Shi Dangang claims to be undying, the subsequent events seem to support this notion.
However, Night Third remains unconvinced.
Pah!
If he truly were undying, could the land deed level of his Tianshi Territory fall only one level higher than the Loran Territory? This characteristic alone should be sufficient for him to dominate the scene, right?
"So, what methods did those who defeated him before use?"
While Shi Dangang's record is undefeated, indicating that he definitely has a trick up his sleeve to drag others down with him, knowing that he is not invincible is enough.
Night Third looked towards the massive red meat lump.
Could it be necessary to eliminate this?
The more he thought about it, the more he believed that was the case. Typically, people think of dealing with Summoners by eliminating the Summoner themselves, causing their summoned creatures to disappear.
But if Shi Dangang reversed the approach, perhaps the weakness is actually this meat lump?
"Eliminating this mass, he probably won't have this regenerative ability!"
With determination, Night Third immediately turned and, sword raised, slashed towards the red meat lump. However, Shi Dangang grinned and blocked him.
"Acting as if I don't exist?"
He said and threw a punch. Night Third, at this moment, wasn't willing to entangle with him. Using the Wind Riding Steps, he sidestepped the attack, but Shi Dangang remained relentless. Exploiting the increased speed from the fusion with the green meat lump, he continued his assault on Night Third.
"Giving face, aren't you!"
With a determined expression, Night Third, aware that Shi Dangang's attacks weren't strong, focused on evading vital points. He forcibly absorbed two punches with his back and then, with a swift sword motion, cut through the meat lump.
With a splattering sound, a large gash appeared in the red meat, but for a body three meters wide, it seemed to be of little consequence.
Seeing this, Night Third, avoiding another punch from Shi Dangang aimed at the back of his head, quickly attacked again. He stabbed through, circled like cutting a watermelon, and finally split the meat lump into two.
"No use?"
Turning around, Night Third repelled Shi Dangang's pursuit with a sword, but saw the meat lump still trembling without disappearing. He frowned.
What alarmed him even more was that, while he was observing Blood Grand Year, Shi Dangang, again, hammered the ground twice. A gray-white summoning array appeared again.
"Still going?!"
Amidst a thunderous roar, a rock-like entity, ten meters high and five meters in width and length, gradually rose.
Then, Shi Dangang immediately struck it fiercely, and the thing collapsed, shattered like tempered glass, falling into pieces.
"Bai Tai Sui - Splitting Soldiers Formation!"
The shattered white cubes quickly wriggled and gathered together, then astonishingly condensed into ten one-meter-tall white figures, each holding a spear.
"Attack!"
Shi Dangang grinned, and the ten small figures surrounded Night Third, attacking from all sides. Meanwhile, he wiped imaginary sweat from his face and began meditating right there.
"Has this guy run out of mana?"
Night Third, taking only a glance, had to focus entirely on dealing with the ten little soldiers. The acceleration effect of the Qing Tai Sui seemed to have an impact on them. Every thrust was fast and accurate, and with ten people surrounding him, Night Third would be stabbed through if he didn't use Wind Riding Steps.
But because of this, he had no way to break through the encirclement, only able to dodge and counterattack desperately.
Fortunately, although the attack speed of these white soldiers was fast, their spear handling was very rigid. After a few rounds, Night Third managed to sever the head of one white soldier. But what made him uneasy was that, with a chunk of Blood Grand Year's red meat flying over, the severed head of the white soldier reattached.
"Darn, can it get any more shameless?!"
Meanwhile, Liu Feifei at the arbitration seat was proudly explaining to Lord Lei:
"Now that the Blood, Qing, and Bai Tai Suis have all appeared, that imposter swordsman kid pretending to be a Summoner has no chance of threatening Shi Dangang anymore. Once Shi Dangang's mana is restored, he'll summon the Black Tai Sui, which can enhance his attacks, and the match should be over."
Lord Lei nodded. Unless there were unexpected circumstances, Night Third indeed had no way to turn the tables.
"It's a pity. If the Orion Garden hadn't exhausted the consumable uses, Shi Dangang wouldn't have to rely on meditation to recover mana right now."
Liu Feifei shook her head, seemingly disappointed that the match couldn't end sooner.
But at this moment, Night Third, who had no time to care about her feelings, was being surrounded by ten assailants.
No matter how dire the situation was, he knew that Shi Dangang must be brewing even more terrifying moves.
"No more hiding!"
Night Third's eyes narrowed, and he shook his long sword.
Chasing Wind Thirteen Swords - Wind Dispersal!
Puff, puff, puff, ten muffled sounds rang out. The heads of the ten white soldiers attacking him exploded and fell down. Seizing this opportunity, Night Third rushed towards the meditating Shi Dangang.
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
Lord Lei exclaimed.
Although Night Third's ten strikes were extremely fast, they were not enough to surprise him. What surprised him was that, despite being a series of fixed-direction consecutive sword moves, under the peculiar footwork of that young man, they changed direction and turned into area-of-effect attacks!
But playing like that, wouldn't his ankles be fine?
Feeling the burning pain in his right ankle, Night Third cursed silently.
"Five steps left, and I'll take your head!"
"Is it going to appear now, that lethal sword move!"
"Lord of the Stone, wake up quickly! Someone is going to challenge you!"
The audience exclaimed. If he got within ten steps of the Stone Lord while he was still meditating, how could he survive?
But just when Night Third was one step away from reaching the attack range of Moon Sword Slash, his feet suddenly went soft, and he fell forward, sliding for about two meters before stopping.
Night Third:...
Audience:...
Night Third glanced at his swollen right foot, realizing that the consequences of overusing Wind Riding Steps had finally appeared. Behind him, the ten white soldiers had fully recovered and once again surrounded him.
Unable to stand up in time, then...
"Too many opponents, huh? Come on!"
Night Third, feeling distressed, reached towards his chest, then raised his hand. Over a hundred white cards fluttered in the air, and one by one, summoning arrays suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire arena in a dazzling white light.
"What's that..."
"Summoning cards!"
A passing adventurer exclaimed.
Summoning cards are a more advanced summoning method among summoners.
In general, summoners, like mages, have to go through three stages: gathering energy, constructing, and activating, to communicate with the summoned creatures in the summoning space. However, summoning cards do not require this cumbersome process.
These magical cards are like small, portable
spatial cages, containing the summoner's summoned creatures. As long as the summoner's mental power and mana serve as keys, they can summon them without the need for the usual procedures.
And these aren't consumables; they can be reused!
Over a hundred summoned creatures, this guy's mental power...
Huh?
What are those green little dwarves?
