Chapter 320
Chapter 320 – Zhang Tong VS Khan – Part Two
Tong also unsummoned his spirits, which two black tentacle wings made an appearance behind his back as well . Unfortunately, until he got the fourth wing, the third wing would not come out .
Once the souls entered Tong's body, he could feel that his strength increased .
But so did Khan .
Because of such a disadvantage in the strength gap, Tong used one more technique that he had not yet mastered .
"Time Alter: Square Accel!"
Tong could feel that a few of his veins burst from the activation, but his perception got faster by a notch . He used the increase of his speed to dash backward, getting away from Khan's range of attack .
Khan's monstrous halberd strike missed the target as Tong leaped back .
'[Inventory]!'
Tong pulled new weapons from his inventory as he would not be Khan's match if he were to against him in the close combat .
They were Te Langpu's new frag grenades .
Though Tong doubted it would work while the flow of time stopped, he had to try .
Throwing three grenades at Khan, Tong continued running backward .
"Stop running like a coward! Fight me like a man, scum!"
Khan was offended when Tong tossed three round toys at his face . They did not explode as Tong had expected .
'Figured . How about guns?'
Tong pulled out two pistols to both hands and pulled the triggers .
*BANG*
*BANG*
It worked this time . The bullets hit the forehead of Khan who did not know about the firearms .
Khan staggered backward and stopped charging, leaning his head back because of the impact .
"Scum! Using a hidden weapon in a duel? Despicable!"
Tong was surprised by Khan's resiliency . Handgun bullets could not even penetrate through his skins even though it was a direct hit .
'If handguns didn't have enough firepower, then how about this?'
Tong put the pistols back into the inventory and pull out the pre-loaded Benelli M4 shotgun . Without hesitation, he pulled the triggered again .
*BANG*
The shotgun shell firepower was different than a small lead of handgun bullet . As it was shot out of the muzzle, it deployed metallic round buckshots inside the shell forward which caused spread damage to the target .
The small shell hit Khan again which stopped him on his feet . Still, they only caused minor wounds on his body and temporarily stopped his movement .
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Six more shots rammed on Khan's torso and face as Tong spammed the trigger . Without reloading, he changed his out-of-bullet shotgun with a new pre-loaded one .
"I don't believe you can outlast this!"
Unlike the previous shotgun which was loaded with buckshot shells, Tong picked a shotgun loaded with slug shells . These shells had more penetration power than the widespread buckshot balls .
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Tong seven shells in succession . This time, Khan flew backward and landed on the ground, not moving .
Without waiting for Khan to get back up, Tong reloaded with slug shells as he got into the aiming stance .
Khan did not get back up even after the [Time Stop] effect was over .
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
The frag grenade that Tong threw earlier just exploded, but they did not cause any harm to anyone .
'System menu . '
From Tong's experience, he did not believe that a 4-wing-angel could be killed with ordinary shotguns of mortals . Unless he could confirm it from the system that he was genuinely dead, Tong would not let his guard down even a second .
He glanced at the number of survivors . It was [8:4], Eight otherworlders with skills and four without skills . The number of skill possessors had increased, but that was not the main point of interest for Tong .
As long as the total sum of all otherworlders was 12, Khan had not died yet .
"Seriously, you scum are despicable . "
Khan sat up and smiled at Tong . All bruises and wounds on his body disappeared as well . He also had Tong's [Immortal Yang Vein] and his regeneration skill .
Tong clicked his tongue in annoyance . What would he have to do to kill this monster?
Khan muttered, "I like your skills . Therefore …"
The eyes of Khan became weird, and Tong's instinct told him that he had to flee right now . Tong shut his eyes by instinct and ran backward again .
"Be my slave!"
[Eyes of Domination], the skill of Xu Da who used it on Lu Bu to force him to kill Tong and Ding Yuan . It reappeared here to haunt Tong .
Tong could feel that there was a current of strange force going through his body, but he was not affected .
Khan frowned from the frustration as Tong closed his eyes in time before he could activate his trump card .
"If that doesn't work, then die!"
Khan disappeared from where he was sitting and reappeared behind Tong in an instant .
"[Negate Defense]!"
He activated another skill, which he copied from Li Jing . The next strike from him would not be blocked or defended by any system skill .
"Shit!"
The crescent halberd cleaved Tong from his left shoulder to his right waist . This time, he was cut in half!
Khan extended his hand and grabbed on to Tong's neck before he fell onto the ground . The severed lower torso collapsed, revealing Tong's innards and spine .
"It's over, Zhang Tong . Accept your death! HAHAHA!"
With the last bit of strength, Tong summoned his soul, so he could activate his skill one more time . His [Sloth] got out of his body and chanted, "Regen!"
Tong's severed body recovered in a flash . At the same time, Tong unloaded his inventory, and twenty grenades with activated fuses dropped on the ground next to Khan .
"You should have gone for the head . "
Tong converted his skins into snake scales again as he braced the suicide bombs explosion .
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Gunpowder explosive and shrapnel flew all over the place as Tong and Khan took the brunt of the impact . Because of the shocking force, Khan's hand grip was loose for a second .
Tong summoned another shotgun from his inventory and shoved the muzzle at Khan's left eye .
*BANG*
The buckshot shell exploded into his eye, shattering his inner brain!
The monster finally collapsed on the ground while Tong lay down from the exhaustion .
It was the longest minute of his life .
Thankfully, Khan had not mastered the usage of his 4-wing power . Had he excelled it like Friday or other angels in the Netherworld, Tong would have had no chance of winning .
Secondly, Khan relied too much on his skills without using the advantage of his speed and power of the immortal . As a result, Tong found a gap and exploited it .
…
Although Tong and Khan had a long one-minute battle, to the onlookers, it lasted only a few seconds .
Tong suddenly rushed at Khan in speed beyond their understanding . Then, several explosion noises followed . After the dust settled, Khan held the dismembered Tong in his hand . Yet, Tong regrew his body and limbs, and both of them exploded again .
Nobody could tell what had happened during their fight as they could only see multiple explosions and hear loud noises .
Xiahou Dun and his colleagues stared at the lying bodies of the two, dumbfounded .
"What on earth?"
Pu Jing and Jiang Man, who recovered from the shock, also observed the battle from afar .
"What kind of skills they have? Is that grenade explosion?"
Cao Cao also locked his sight at Tong and Khan . His fists and legs were trembling as he did not like the overwhelming immortal superpowers .
"Heaven is unfair! This conflict should have been decided by mortals . Why do you have to interfere!?"
Liu Bei did not exclaim or say anything . He only glanced back and forth between Jiang Man and Tong from a distance . No one knew what he was thinking .
Meanwhile, Jia Xu and Xun Yu could not sit still . They texted to the clan chat to request assistance from the other side .
Jia Xu: "Tong was in a critical condition . Send help!"
Xun Yu: "Tong fought with the Xiongnu King . They both have collapsed from mutual destruction . We need help!"
Kong Rong and the other minor lords were astounded as their mouth turned into O .
"Are they even humans?"
…
On the other side, two clones who were still alive rushed back to help their lord . They ran to Tong with the intent to kill this upstart coalition leader .
Sensing the incoming enemies, Tong crawled back on his feet with his shotgun . He simply aimed at their head and pulled the trigger .
*BANG*
*BANG*
Two clones, whom the coalition generals had a difficulty fighting, fell on the ground with their head busted open .
Just like that, all clones were killed .
Unfinished with his business, Tong turned around and walked the should-be-dead body of Khan . He shoved his shotgun into the open wound and fired again .
*BANG*
*BANG*
The eyes of Tong glanced at the number of survivors . No matter how many times Tong blasted the brain of Khan, the number was still [8:4] .
"What's going on!?"
After a minute of repeatedly shooting the supposed to be a corpse, the body of Khan turned into dust . Yet, the number was still [8:4] .
"Having fun, Zhang Tong?"
The voice of Khan from behind alarmed Tong . He turned around and aimed his shotgun at the head of the person behind him .
Then, Tong was shocked . To his horror, this Khan in front of him still wore clean armor and clothing as if he had not fought in the battle against him at all . The four light wings were still behind his back, proving that he was real .
"Let's consider it a draw . It was fun even though you cheated . Well, cheating is also a skill . I don't really mind it actually . Let's collect more lifespans and duke it out again . "
Khan walked back to Hulao Gate and disregarded Tong and all the commotion in the coalition army .
No one but Khan knew that he used two more skills to break away from Tong repeated gunshots .
Xu Da and Li Feihong's [Self-Resurrection],
Jiang Man's [Ninjutsu],
These were Khan's lifesaving skills in the case of an emergency .
Khan glanced at his remaining lifespans with a grumpy mouth . He had 14,000 lifespans left, which was not even enough to pay for the upkeep of his skills by the end of the years .
'War is about wasting resources . I should have waited until I have over a million to start another war . Well, I've learned something about Zhang Tong and two other otherworlders . I made a mistake using the Qi Shield early on instead of saving it to surprise the enemies . I still have a room for improvement . '
As Khan entered the gate, his calm demeanor, which he had shown it to Tong and his allies, disappeared . He staggered back with wobbling legs and whispered his command to the men .
"If they assault the gate, hold them for the day . At night, we'll retreat from Hulao Gate . "
