Chapter 1899 - 1471: Shattering Slaughter! Dog Ghost Kills Its Master! (Part 3)

Then, Qin Fang began wielding his Flame Palm, launching a direct assault on the black mist within the shikigami... Because of their inherent opposition, Qin Fang's every strike could completely eradicate the black mist.This is precisely why every strike from Qin Fang causes a portion of the shikigami's body to disappear...

However, the shikigami is composed of this black mist. If any other method were used to pierce the shikigami's body, the black mist could naturally fill back in.

But Qin Fang was using flames; the black mist could hardly avoid it, so how could it possibly fill back in?

This resulted in the flaw of the shikigami's body, while the black mist was continuously consumed by Qin Fang's flames...

"Roar~~"

Feeling its "life" threatened, the shikigami let out a low growl, seemingly very angry, but also helpless, with clear signs of fear and trepidation.

In this state, the shikigami's pair of eerie green eyes were fixated on Qin Fang, showing no change, yet maintaining constant vigilance.

It neither chose to attack nor to flee, merely guarding against Qin Fang, appearing to be searching for an opportunity...

However, the considerable loss of black mist was weakening its body, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Old Qin, hold on... we're almost wrapping up here!"

Meanwhile, Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong had finally seized an opportunity, cornering the grandmaster-level expert into a dead end, now unleashing their strongest attacks against him.

In a two-against-one situation, if they couldn't defeat the opponent, their efforts for advancement would have been in vain.

The grandmaster-level expert was exceedingly frustrated, initially relying on the shikigami for assistance, only to find it was being held up by Qin Fang alone.

Judging by the current situation, it seemed that the expert would be struck down by the adversaries before the shikigami could come to his aid, filling him with profound fear.

"Roar~~"

Seemingly sensing the peril faced by the grandmaster-level expert, the shikigami grew restless, its low growls becoming more frequent.

Whoosh~~

Just as Qin Fang was about to make his move, the shikigami suddenly transformed into a mass of black mist, rushing at high speed towards Ji Xiang and the others.

The shikigami turned into a substantial cloud of mist, and although Qin Fang quickly struck with his flame-imbued palm to burn off much of the black mist, a significant portion still reached Ji Xiang and the others.

"Watch out! Get out of the way…"

Qin Fang was too late to pursue; seeing the black mist heading straight for Ji Xiang and the others, he could only shout out in warning to alert Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong.

Knowing how dangerous this black mist was, Qin Fang didn't want anything to happen to Ji Xiang or Monk Wukong, as they were his companions.

This black mist possessed exceptionally strong corrosiveness, and Qin Fang, cautious to avoid it, still suffered multiple damages on his own body.

Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong, being caught off guard by the appearance of this mist, were at great risk of serious injury if they weren't careful.

Though Qin Fang knew his flame could counter the black mist, he had no means of healing the corrosive injuries caused by it.

After all, while his flame could completely incinerate the black mist, Qin Fang couldn't burn his own companions... doing so would destroy the mist while also incinerating his teammates.

"What's going on?"

Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong were equally stunned, as they were on the verge of defeating the grandmaster-level expert when Qin Fang shouted to them.

Despite their confusion, their trust in Qin Fang led them, with perfect synchrony, to retreat a few steps.

Though just a few small steps, their timing was impeccable; the moment they backed away, the black mist burst through their previous defensive circle, heading directly for the grandmaster-level expert.

"No... don't!"

The grandmaster-level expert hadn't noticed the shikigami's actions, but upon realizing the shikigami had turned into a surge of black mist coming towards him, his already pale face drained of all color, and with terrified eyes, he let out a shrill scream.

Vaguely, he let out such a cry... then his entire body was enveloped by the black mist.

With that, the words he uttered vanished along with his body into the black mist.

The black mist rose up, and soon, the grandmaster-level expert's figure vanished completely...

Qin Fang came over swiftly, his expression deeply grave as he gazed at the black mist, his eyes reflecting shock and amazement.

"Old Qin, what on earth is happening?"

Ji Xiang and Monk Wukong were equally bewildered by the scene before them, at a loss as to how things had turned out this way.

"It's a Dog Ghost, the guy couldn't control it anymore, and it's devouring its master... Everyone, stay still and watch what happens!"

Initially, Qin Fang didn't understand what was happening, but when he saw the grandmaster-level expert vanishing rapidly into the black mist, while the mist itself grew stronger, he realized the truth!

The dread surrounding the Dog Ghost stemmed from this...

Although the Dog Ghost was formidable, it was also the hardest to control. Once summoned, if the conjurer couldn't restrain it, the Dog Ghost would immediately devour him, absorbing his power entirely into itself... the exact situation unfolding here. (To be continued.
