He lowered his head to look and realized that the aftershock of the electric current was still clinging to him along the ground.
Qin Siyang hurriedly blinked into the air. Arcs of electricity exploded beneath his feet, letting out a deep rumbling boom.
But the thunder whip in Chang Tianxiong's hand seemed to have a will of its own. As if it had caught his scent, it chased after him again.
Qin Siyang's eyes sharpened.
Under the suppression, every attack from Chang Tianxiong carried power so overwhelming it was nearly impossible to withstand.
His [Banquet Domain] was already destined to be unable to completely avoid Chang Tianxiong's attacks.
He quickly pulled five copper coins from his storage box and tossed them into the air. In an instant they transformed into five thick, semi-transparent shields that enveloped his entire body.
The suppression of sequences worked on him, but it had no effect on God-Hunting tools.
Rather than keep fleeing in a sorry state only to be wounded anyway, it was better to leave everything to the God-Hunting tools.
The five Tier-3 Isolation Shields Lu Daoxing had given him earlier were finally coming in handy.
Suspended in midair, Qin Siyang blinked several times to dodge, only to see a silver lightning serpent rapidly enlarge in his vision as it rushed toward him.
Thud!
A muffled impact sounded as the shield was instantly wrapped in countless blinding currents.
Silver light leapt and crackled, releasing sharp sizzling sounds.
But only a moment later, cracks appeared across the surface of the shield. The cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb, and within each fracture flickered dazzling bolts of lightning, as if a crystal sphere were about to shatter.
As countless tiny currents burst around his ears like a violent storm, the cracks in the shield multiplied and spread even faster.
Finally, the shield could no longer bear the tremendous impact. The flickering light inside the fractures blinked erratically, like a crystal ball on the verge of exploding.
Bang!
One layer of shield shattered. The fragments turned into dazzling specks of light that scattered in all directions, instantly swallowed by the dancing currents around them.
At the same time, the thunder whip's strike had finally reached the end of its force and was deflected downward by the second layer of shield.
Qin Siyang seized the moment to escape the danger zone, landing dozens of meters away from Chang Tianxiong. Sweat ran down his forehead and along his cheeks.
Overwhelming strength crushes all tricks. In front of Chang Tianxiong, his methods were nothing but small, childish attempts. There was simply no chance for him to hurt him.
Qin Siyang clenched his fists and instinctively thought about escaping using [Banquet Domain].
Chang Tianxiong looked calmly at Qin Siyang.
"Little Qin, that blinking skill of yours would be a good method for running away. If you don't have any other trump cards, you might as well try escaping."
His tone was gentle, almost like a teacher patiently advising a student, which made Qin Siyang feel a wave of disgust rise inside him.
When [Banquet Domain] still had plenty of time earlier, he hadn't planned to run.
Now there were only a little over thirty seconds left. How far could he possibly escape?
Once the idea of running took root, the will to fight would collapse. His movements would fill with openings, and he would most likely die even faster.
Qin Siyang took a deep breath and steadied himself.
That brief pause allowed the battle-hardened him to regain absolute calm almost instantly.
He also remembered the single sliver of possibility for victory, it existed only in the courage to smash an egg against a stone.
Qin Siyang began blinking forward again, preparing to launch another active attack.
But Chang Tianxiong seemed to have grown tired of the game of cat and mouse.
His expression suddenly turned serious. His arm shook sharply, and the thunder whip spun through the air, turning into circles of lightning that surged outward like a vortex.
The powerful waves of electricity lit up the desolate dark wilderness, raging wildly through everything around them. The ground was torn apart. The dust that shot upward had not even spread before the intense heat evaporated it completely.
Although Qin Siyang carefully avoided the vortex of lightning, the moment he brushed against even the aftershock, two layers of the shields on his body shattered like glass hitting the ground, breaking into countless fragments.
Qin Siyang felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. Knowing he couldn't face it head-on, he could only blink backward rapidly, completely abandoning the thought of attacking.
As Qin Siyang retreated here, Chang Tianxiong began his pursuit over there.
He stomped forcefully, and the boots on his feet suddenly emitted a dim silver glow as he rushed toward Qin Siyang.
His swift steps even produced afterimages in Qin Siyang's eyes, making them impossible to track.
Yet strangely, the speed at which Chang Tianxiong was approaching him was not unbelievably fast.
It seemed his perception had also been weakened because of the suppression.
Better fight while retreating.
Suddenly, Chang Tianxiong stopped in his tracks, his expression becoming extremely alert.
A flash passed through Qin Siyang's eyes.
'Now!'
He immediately stopped retreating and swallowed the piece of divine remains he had been holding warm in his mouth.
He flipped forward and shouted violently.
"Come out!"
Hearing the shout, Chang Tianxiong instinctively glanced at Qin Siyang, wondering what trick he was about to use this time.
Rumble! Rumble!
The earth beneath their feet emitted a deep, distant roar, as if it were about to collapse.
Then the ground beneath Chang Tianxiong split open with a crack. Countless fragments of stone suddenly turned into deep-red bees, their crimson stingers gleaming under the surrounding lightning.
Dense swarms of red bees poured out from the cracks and charged toward Chang Tianxiong.
"These are… Red Sand Bees?", Chang Tianxiong frowned, "How do you know the moves of the Red Sand Bee Queen? What sequence are you exactly?"
Qin Siyang didn't answer. He simply let out a cold smile and blinked several times into the air, reaching a position dozens of meters above Chang Tianxiong.
Chang Tianxiong lowered his brows and thought for a moment.
"No matter how you did it, it's pointless."
The Red Sand Bees attacked Chang Tianxiong, their momentum looking terrifying, but the moment they approached, they were all burned into powder by the surging ripples of lightning.
No matter how many came one after another, it was nothing more than moths flying into a flame.
The sound beneath his feet grew louder and louder. Still, countless Red Sand Bees continued crawling out from the cracks in the earth.
Chang Tianxiong couldn't help feeling puzzled, 'Just how many Red Sand Bees are going to come?'
'Could it be that Qin Siyang's sequence ability is to completely replicate a god's skills?'
'That would be far too shocking!'
'Or… has Qin Siyang raised several Red Sand Bee Queens?'
'What a genius.'
Chang Tianxiong felt deep regret over Qin Siyang's death, that was about to come.
The current situation gave him nothing to worry about.
Even a Red Sand Bee Queen couldn't withstand this violent lightning, let alone a group of Red Sand Bees only the size of fists.
'Let him try every trick he wants. I will stand still!'
Thinking this, the speed of the thunder whip in his hand increased by another thirty percent, and waves of even stronger lightning surged outward like tides.
"Chang Tianxiong!"
Just as he frowned in puzzlement, Qin Siyang shouted again from the sky above.
Chang Tianxiong looked up.
In the air above, Qin Siyang flipped open his mask, revealing a savage grin.
"I have a skill that shoots straight into the heavens. I've never shown it to anyone before. You're a snake-rank criminal who's killed countless people. I wonder if you've ever seen it before!"
Chang Tianxiong gazed upward calmly.
"Empty bluffing. Go ahead."
Yet what puzzled Chang Tianxiong was that Qin Siyang did not descend to attack.
Instead, he blinked several more times and soared even higher into the sky, looking down at Chang Tianxiong surrounded by lightning.
"Remember this. This move is called Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf!"
With Qin Siyang's loud laughter, the land beneath Chang Tianxiong cracked open like the surface of ice.
