‘Strange creature...’

Li Ang frowned slightly, staring at the bizarre monster across the arena.

The scorpion-shaped body's legs could puncture the solid arena floor, leaving behind a series of dents without deliberately exerting force.

The weight of its body and the hardness of its shell far exceeded modern main battle tanks.

Moreover, that layer of black chitin-like shell seemed to be able to resist psionic detection.

‘In terms of physical strength alone, it is slightly stronger than the Tyrant of the Hive during the Doorway Skirmish. If I were to throw out an unenhanced Finks Pit Beast, it would probably be torn to pieces by those pincers in less than five seconds.’

The moment this thought flashed through Li Ang's mind, the Iron Scorpion vanished from its spot.

Teleportation? Invisibility?

Li Ang's unconsciously released psychic field sensed the danger rapidly approaching.

He lightly tapped the ground with his foot, his body floating up, narrowly avoiding the scorpion pincer that suddenly appeared and slashed at him.

“Tsk.”

Li Ang, his train of thought interrupted, sighed unhappily. His palm drew the Xinyuan (Heart Monkey) staff from the void, seemingly slow but actually fast, wielding the staff like a whip, casually flicking it.

Dong!!!

The Xinyuan staff collided with the Iron Scorpion's raised giant pincer, creating a visible shockwave.

A gasp rang out from the audience.

The giant pincer's chitinous shell, as hard as alloy, dented slightly, forming cracks, and a small amount of black pus flowed out, making a crisp sound.

“Hmm?”

Li Ang raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. He had just injected about 120 units of psionic energy into the Xinyuan staff, increasing its weight.

He didn't expect that even this wouldn't directly kill the opponent.

“Not bad, better than many Lv25s.”

The corner of Li Ang's eye swept over the hit prompt lighting up above the arena.

The Iron Scorpion was more durable than he had imagined. This time it only counted as a hit, not a heavy blow.

“Then next...”

He kicked off the Iron Scorpion's giant pincer, and before the opponent could counterattack, he used the recoil from the kick to launch himself away.

His left hand, holding the Colt revolver, swung a perfect arc in mid-air, pulling the trigger at the Iron Scorpion.

Bang!

Flames erupted from the muzzle.

The strangely shaped Iron Scorpion instinctively sensed the approaching danger and tried to raise its pincer to block, but the Colt revolver had the characteristic of instantaneous hit.

The magic-piercing bullet fired had no trajectory, directly crossing the distance of more than twenty meters and nailing into the damaged part of the Iron Scorpion's giant pincer.

Tss—

A sound like a sharp arrow piercing sandpaper rang out.

The crack in the Iron Scorpion's giant pincer was further torn open, and the surface of the thick chitinous shell was covered with spiderweb-like cracks. At the very center was the magic-piercing bullet.

The Iron Scorpion's muscles were tough and firm, with clusters of muscle fibers stacked together to minimize external forces.

Like the best body armor, it resisted the further penetration of the magic-piercing bullet.

The bullet was stuck in the muscle layer.

But this was not a good thing...

【Bullet Teleportation】!

Li Ang also disappeared from his spot, instantly appearing in front of the Iron Scorpion. His eyes, devoid of much emotion, reflected the Iron Scorpion's figure.

The Xinyuan staff in his right hand smashed down on the Iron Scorpion's head.

This time, the Xinyuan staff was imbued with more psionic energy, its size and weight increased again, crushing toward the Iron Scorpion like a wooden beam.

The Iron Scorpion tried to raise its right forelimb to block the Xinyuan staff smashing down on its head, but before the right giant pincer could be raised, a severe pain came from the left forelimb—

Li Ang directly released the Ten-Finger Dissolution Technique towards the opening of the Iron Scorpion's giant pincer.

The dark green beam hit the solid muscle.

Melting a huge depression in the Iron Scorpion's left giant pincer.

The staff smashed down on its head, the left giant pincer was severely damaged, and a light of contemplation flashed in the Iron Scorpion's jet-black eyes.

The half of a corpse carried on its back suddenly drew a scroll from the void and tore it apart on the spot.

Whoosh!!!

A strong energy burst out from the Iron Scorpion's huge body, spreading outward like a shockwave, forming a huge thrust that pushed the air.

The howling wind came, and the Ten-Finger Dissolution Technique quietly stopped.

Li Ang flew out like a leaf in the wind, tapping his feet in the air several times, and landed steadily with the help of the invisible steps generated by the Cloud-Ascending Leap.

“Consumable one-time scroll...”

Thoughts flashed through Li Ang's mind as he landed lightly on the ground, unharmed.

The Iron Scorpion used a one-time consumable scroll, releasing the scroll effect, blowing Li Ang away.

This strangely shaped creature stood in place, shaking its severely damaged left giant pincer.

Without any visible action, the wounds on the giant pincer's surface healed quickly. Muscles regenerated, the shell regrew, and except for the lingering hit prompt in the sky, there were no aftereffects.

The spectators in the audience, with the rapid changes in the situation, let out bursts of low gasps.

Low-level players or ordinary people only saw Li Ang draw his revolver and fire a bullet, which was blocked by the Iron Scorpion's own muscles, failing to cause more damage—the Iron Scorpion's self-healing ability was particularly amazing, directly restoring all the damage caused by the previous battle.

But outsiders watched the excitement, while insiders watched the details.

Many truly capable transcendents were shocked by this shot.

“That move again!”

Wanli Fengdao felt a chill run through his body. No matter how many times he saw it, he still found that revolver terrifying.

No trajectory, instantaneous hit,

Which meant that it was almost impossible to carry out reactive defense.

“The instantaneously hitting bullet, coupled with the zero-windup teleportation skill that takes effect based on the bullet, and the weapon with terrifying destructive power.

The combination of these three completely allows for silent approach and the release of a thunderous strike.

Almost no one can withstand this combo without taking any damage.”

Wanli Fengdao thought silently, “If paired with reconnaissance skills that exceed visual range, then he is the most terrifying assassin in the world.

Anyone in the world, as long as they appear on the surface, will become a potential assassination target.

To block that revolver's bullet, you either have to maintain a barrier like an energy shield all the time,

Or you have to have amazing dynamic vision and nerve reflex speed, able to see the subtle changes in Li Ang's finger muscles in a fraction of a second, judging the other party's intention to fire,

And based on this, react,

Dodge, or take out a shield and block it in front of the gun's trajectory...

I now understand why those big organizations are so afraid of Li. He is nominally a support-type player, but in reality, he is completely a physical assassin.”

The more he imagined, the heavier Wanli Fengdao felt.

If he were standing in the arena at this moment, then even if he knew that Li Ang would use this method to launch a surprise attack, he would have no way to resist it.

Unless...

The Iron Scorpion in the arena silently watched Li Ang in front of it, its two pairs of giant pincers unconsciously clipping the air.

One of the corpses on its back once again moved like a puppet, drawing a scroll from the void and tearing it apart directly.

Like the shockwave scroll just now, this time the Iron Scorpion was also using a consumable scroll.

The brick floor beneath its feet vibrated.

A large amount of sand and soil poured out from the gaps between the bricks, forming clusters of sand and soil mixtures, suspended around the Iron Scorpion, like a barrier.

“As expected...”

Wanli Fengdao's expression darkened, and he said softly, “That Iron Scorpion's reaction speed is so fast!

Clearly not an Earth player, but based on the two brief contacts just now, it guessed the approximate effects of Li's skills and equipment, and came up with targeted countermeasures.

Li's revolver is an instantaneous hit on a physical target, dealing damage to the target.

However, the bullet itself does not have the effect of identifying enemies, and its penetration performance is also relatively average.

This means that as long as you take a large number of unimportant sundries and arrange them around your body, without revealing any flaws, you can maximize the neutralization of the revolver's power.

At the same time, it can also effectively prevent Li from using the bullet as a springboard for long-distance teleportation.

As expected of a transcendent creature from another world.

The reaction speed and on-the-spot adaptability are not inferior to the powerhouses on our side.”

“Hmm...”

Xing Hechou, sitting beside him, also had a solemn expression, but was somewhat hesitant in his heart.

Why did he feel like Brother Dao had already taken on the role of commentator?

“Heh.”

In the arena, Li Ang couldn't help but grin when he saw the Iron Scorpion's actions.

He hooked the Colt revolver's trigger with his pinky finger, raised his left hand, and snapped his fingers.

【Drowning Assassination Technique】, activated.

An invisible and intangible force spread out.

Without any warning, the four dried corpses carried on the Iron Scorpion's back all spat out warm water from their mouths.

More water poured out from the gaps in the Iron Scorpion's back shell.

This sudden change left the Earth audience in the audience at a loss.

The Iron Scorpion itself also paused imperceptibly.

The 【Drowning Assassination Technique】 skill was something Li Ang had obtained a long time ago, and it had accompanied him for quite a while.

Its rule was to cause a target within 200 meters to have warm spring water gushing out of their respiratory system, lasting up to one minute, causing the opponent to temporarily suffocate or even drown. Attacking or being attacked would interrupt the effect.

In the early stages of the Killing Game, the 【Drowning Assassination Technique】 was indeed a pretty good skill.

It could surprise many mid- to high-level opponents.

But that was all.

When transcendents reached Lv25 and above, their physical strength had long surpassed ordinary creatures.

The warm water that could suffocate and drown ordinary people

Was nothing to transcendents and did not affect normal actions.

The Iron Scorpion in the arena also discovered this. In less than a second, this transcendent existence from an unknown world released a detection spell on itself, quickly realizing that the 【Drowning Assassination Technique】 was just for show.

In an even shorter time, it made a decision—it shook its pincers, and the tiny black hairs growing on the surface of the giant pincers were immediately fired at Li Ang like pear blossom rain needles.

Attacked, the 【Drowning Assassination Technique】 immediately became invalid and interrupted.

However, a smile appeared on Li Ang's face.

Found you...

Li Ang flicked his left hand, re-gripped the Colt revolver, and with his index finger parallel to the barrel, his middle finger heavily pulled the trigger.

This time, he didn't aim at the Iron Scorpion behind the heavy barrier, but at the ground beneath the Iron Scorpion's feet.

Bang!

The bullet hit the brick floor.

Li Ang teleported again, appearing ten meters in front of the Iron Scorpion.

His foot stomped on the ground, rushing forward, and the Xinyuan staff in his hand rapidly expanded during the sprint, almost like a giant pillar of a wind turbine, crushing towards the Iron Scorpion.

The simple massive size and terrifying weight forced the Iron Scorpion to jump aside to avoid it.

But the moment it dodged, Li Ang had already raised the Colt revolver.

A dark green dissociation beam burst from the tip of his index finger parallel to the barrel, melting and dissolving the layers of mud barriers floating in front of the beam, clearing a path for the Colt revolver.

Now...

Li Ang pulled the trigger with his middle finger, and the bullet flew out along the channel opened up by the dissociation technique with an indescribable rule of guaranteed hit, hitting one of the dried corpses on the Iron Scorpion's back.

Bullet Teleportation!

Li Ang's figure flickered, landing on the Iron Scorpion's back.

He used the extremely enlarged Xinyuan staff as bait to attract the enemy's attention, and did not teleport with the Xinyuan staff.

Instead, he used another weapon—his own hand.

Hiss—

From the sleeve of Li Ang's right arm, a massive amount of plant fiber extended, instantly wrapping around the entire right hand.

Turning the right arm into a brown tree trunk,

Like the impaling stakes used by Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, in history.

Clang!!!

Li Ang knelt on one knee on the Iron Scorpion's back, the wooden right arm impaling down from above.

The tip of the wooden stake tore open the Iron Scorpion's hard chitinous shell, directly penetrating deep into the Iron Scorpion's back.

“I understand!”

In the audience, Wanli Fengdao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly to Xing Hechou, who was somewhat dazed next to him, “Aren't you wondering why Li didn't attack the four particularly conspicuous dried corpses on the Iron Scorpion's back, but instead directly attacked the Iron Scorpion's back?

Because Li has already made a judgment—he used that skill that can make water flow out of the respiratory system and released it on the Iron Scorpion.

But the Iron Scorpion's scorpion body and the four dried corpses on its back did not spray out much warm water.

Instead, a large amount of water seeped out from the shell of the Iron Scorpion's back.

I guess that Li's skill to make water seep out of the respiratory tract only works on the target's main body.

For example, a whale, if it is hit by the skill, then the main body of the whale should spit out water, instead of the barnacles on the whale spraying out water.

This also means that the Iron Scorpion's scorpion body and the four dried corpses on its back are actually just disguises.

The Iron Scorpion's real main body is hidden somewhere in the back of its body.

That's why Li is attacking there—he not only wants to win this battle, but also wants to directly kill his opponent.”

Just as Wanli Fengdao, who had suddenly transformed into a commentator, predicted, Li Ang's wooden right arm pierced through the Iron Scorpion's back muscles like a hot knife through butter.

A massive amount of plant fiber spread and grew, releasing a huge amount of anesthetic substances, instantly paralyzing the Iron Scorpion's surrounding muscles, and also paralyzing its ability to think.

As the plant fiber rapidly expanded, Li Ang finally sensed a mass of deformed brain, like a human figure, hidden in the Iron Scorpion's back muscles.

He reversed the direction of his wooden right arm, released a dark green beam, and completely melted the brain.
