"Go!"
Qin Dadi didn't say a word and charged forward first, the deep brown rock layers quickly congealing on his body surface, turning him into a Stone Man in an instant.
Boom!
Two fireballs bypassed Qin Dadi, tracing two semi-circular arcs in the air, one to the left and one to the right, heading toward the Spirit Cat.
"Huh~"
The Spirit Cat's mouth curled up, subtly revealing sharp teeth. With a slight step, it transformed into a shadow and vanished, causing the two fireballs to collide in the air.
Whoosh~
The Spirit Cat leaped lightly, pouncing toward Liu Zhaozhao with ghost-like speed.
Liu Zhaozhao was prepared; flames erupted from her body, turning her into a figure of fire in an instant.
Seeing this, the Spirit Cat immediately halted, as if inertia was nonexistent in its body.
At that moment, a blade's gleam appeared from the side.
Xiao Yunlong, holding the Black Pattern Battle Saber, had his weapon's body surrounded by a blue glow. A Tornado Slash struck straight down at the Spirit Cat's head.
The Spirit Cat twisted its body bonelessly, evading the blade with an oddly captivating posture that allowed the saber to graze past its nose. Then, with a backward swipe, it clawed towards Xiao Yunlong's face.
Xiao Yunlong tilted his head back, but the cat's claws left three white marks on the visor of his tactical helmet.
"Meow!!!"
The Spirit Cat bristled entirely, its body lowering, nearly skimming the ground as it brushed past Xiao Yunlong. The next moment, the sound of tearing fabric echoed.
Xiao Yunlong's thigh region of his combat suit was ripped open, flesh rolling and looking extremely gruesome.
"Ugh~"
Xiao Yunlong's footing faltered, almost losing balance, a wave of dread washing over his heart.
Fast, too fast.
He excelled at Wind Attribute Martial Techniques, his body technique agile and fluid, but in front of the Spirit Cat, he was like a moving pole, utterly defenseless.
Yet Xiao Yunlong understood that this was the power of bloodline and talent. Unless he could cultivate his Wind Martial Technique to a very high level, even three of him put together wouldn't be a match for the Spirit Cat.
"Yunlong!"
Qin Dadi turned around, and upon seeing Xiao Yunlong's bloody thigh, he nearly ground his teeth to pieces.
At this moment, how he wished the opponent was a large Power Type Beastman, even if it were a Black Iron Beast Bloodline. The Earth Dragon Team would still stand unscathed.
With him serving as the meat shield, Xiao Yunlong harassing from the side, Liu Zhaozhao suppressing with flames, plus an undercover sharpshooter Qin Tian, their chances of victory were quite high.
But unfortunately, the enemy was the Spirit Cat, whom everyone least wanted to encounter.
Agile, nimble, cunning,
So fast it was despairing.
Whoosh~
The Spirit Cat crouched, its four paws touching the ground, and those eyes, deep green, were filled with cruelty and mockery. In the next moment, propelling with all its limbs, it transformed into a shadow rushing toward Xiao Yunlong.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunlong quickly stepped back to evade, but just then, his injured leg suddenly gave way, causing him to stumble, and a look of panic and fear flashed in his eyes.
Whoosh~
The Spirit Cat raised its paw to tear at Xiao Yunlong's throat, but just as its forearm lifted, the hairs on its back suddenly stood up.
Without a moment's hesitation, the Spirit Cat decisively performed a forward roll, allowing the bullet aimed at its back to miss.
"Huh!"
The Spirit Cat turned, all four paws gripping the ground, its back arching while its teeth were bared like an enraged wildcat, glaring angrily at the rear.
Qin Tian gently placed his rifle on the ground. He could foresee that shooting sneakily from behind would not harm the Spirit Cat, but even as the result played out, he felt a sense of regret in his heart.
If this shot had hit, he wouldn't need to take further risks.
"Meow!!!"
The Spirit Cat let out a piercing cry, its limbs pushing off the ground, charging toward Qin Tian.
"Watch out, Qin Tian!!!"
Xiao Yunlong, Qin Dadi, and Liu Zhaozhao shouted out in alarm, despair already showing in their eyes.
Qin Tian was just a clone that had been recently born, with impressive shooting talent and remarkable physical attributes, but before the Spirit Cat, even they, who were Tier Two Spiritualists and Superpower Users, couldn't fight back. What could Qin Tian do?
Whoosh~
The Spirit Cat raised its paw to slash at Qin Tian's throat, its speed ghostly quick, but at that moment, Qin Tian seemed to have anticipated it, crouching down in advance to let the paw swipe over his head.
What!!!
Qin Dadi and the others didn't expect Qin Tian to react so swiftly, feeling both shocked and pleasantly surprised. What happened next, however, left them dumbfounded.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~
The Spirit Cat swiped continuously, its speed like an illusion, and the angles were exceptionally tricky.
However, Qin Tian seemed like he was intoxicated, squatting, bending, rolling, leaping... always managing to dodge the Spirit Cat's attacks with various strange and contorted postures.
To an onlooker, it would seem like they were filming a movie, and Qin Tian was more like a Jackie Chan in a film, making miraculous dodges.
"This..."
Qin Dadi, Xiao Yunlong, and Liu Zhaozhao gaped in amazement. They never thought Qin Tian possessed such ability, his reactions, his skills, were just like a humanoid version of the Spirit Cat!
At this point, they wanted to help, but the two were too entangled; Qin Dadi was too slow to keep up, Liu Zhaozhao feared accidentally injuring Qin Tian, and Xiao Yunlong, with his leg wounded, had no way to intervene.
Helplessly, the three could only watch anxiously as Qin Tian and the Spirit Cat wrestled.
Whoosh~~
The sharp claw brushed past his throat, causing Qin Tian to break out in goosebumps.
No, just dodging won't work.
Qin Tian's mind raced; he contemplated counterattacking, but he hadn't learned combat skills and didn't know how to exert force, and even if he punched the Spirit Cat's face, it probably wouldn't have much effect.
But such actions would disrupt his rhythm significantly, giving the Spirit Cat more chances.
If that's the case, he could only gamble.
Qin Tian gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
Whoosh~
Aiming for the eye, the cat's paw lunged, but Qin Tian tilted his head, swiftly raising his hand to grab the Spirit Cat's wrist.
The Spirit Cat's wrist was slender, its fur slightly rigid and unpleasant to the touch.
The Spirit Cat didn't expect Qin Tian, who had been dodging, to suddenly grab its hand, and it visibly hesitated. Taking advantage of this, Qin Tian quickly reached out with the other hand, grasped the Spirit Cat at the back of the head, and forcefully pulled it toward himself.
Bang!!!
Their heads collided heavily, producing a dull thud.
The tactical helmet cracked, and the transparent visor fell to the ground.
Qin Tian didn't stop; he followed up with another powerful headbutt.
Bang!
This time, the sound was even more dull and loud.
Tempered fragments grazed across his forehead, leaving a deep blood mark, and his head began to spin as if stars were flashing in his eyes.
Yet he still didn't let go, mustering all his strength for another headbutt.
Bang~~
The helmet flew off as their foreheads collided fiercely.
This time, Qin Tian truly couldn't hold on, the world spinning before his eyes, his nose bleeding as he released his grip and staggered backward.
He was in bad shape; the Spirit Cat was even worse.
It's worth noting that Qin Tian had the Green Talent [High Tier Strength], his physical prowess comparable to the Green Skinned Orcs, whereas the Spirit Cat was a typical high agility, low defense creature. Even with Spiritual Ability Tempering, its bones were not as tough as Qin Tian's.
Its frontal bone had already shattered, with its vision completely dark.
Just then, a massive fireball flew in from behind, striking the Spirit Cat's back; simultaneously, a blade's gleam suddenly flashed.
Plop
The large head was decapitated, rolling twice on the ground, its deep green eyes still faintly reflecting despair and terror.
