Second update, asking for subscriptions and votes~~~...

Huff~~

Just as Qin Fang was coming up with a strategy, the Shikigami also seemed to grow impatient with this game of hide and seek.

Its sharp claws, faster than lightning, struck towards Qin Fang's head, not only fast but also incredibly powerful, the wind it stirred carrying a sense of deadly killing intent.

There was no doubt that this Shikigami intended to finish Qin Fang in this strike, then rush to aid the grandmaster-level expert who was struggling and in a state of distress.

"You want to kill me? Maybe in your next life..."

Faced with such a fierce attack, Qin Fang, in the past, would have been quite afraid and only able to dodge by fleeing desperately.

But this time, the Shikigami seemed prepared for this, even with Qin Fang's Traceless Snow Stepping Technique, almost all escape routes were sealed, leaving no way to evade.

The situation became quite dire, and Qin Fang was nearly out of options...

Yet this time, Qin Fang did not have to worry, instead, a violent surge of True Qi erupted throughout his body, making him incredibly tense, as if gathering all his strength to face off against the Shikigami...

The Shikigami was a mysterious creature, whether it had intelligence similar to humans, Qin Fang wasn't sure, but at least in this moment, it showed no signs of retreating.

Buzz~~

As the Shikigami's sharp claws aimed for him, with hardly any room to avoid, Qin Fang suddenly opened his arms, palms facing upwards, and then...

Two flames suddenly and unexpectedly ignited on Qin Fang's palms, burning fiercely as if Qin Fang's hands were set ablaze.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss~~

With the presence of these two flames, the surrounding environment changed, the cold air was effortlessly dispelled by the flames.

Moreover... this black mist seemed to be ignited by the flames, retreating rapidly to the edges, leaving the area around Qin Fang suddenly clear.

"Hmm~~ Really effective!!!"

Seeing this scene, a trace of delight flashed across Qin Fang's face.

This was the method he had come up with, originally aiming just to repel the coldness and prevent his body from freezing.

Unexpectedly, the effect of the flames was exceptionally good, as if they were the nemesis of the black mist, driving it away with ease.

Bang~~

However, this wasn't the time for Qin Fang to rejoice, as the Shikigami's sharp claws had nearly reached him.

Qin Fang had already prepared himself, swinging his arms to fiercely collide with the Shikigami's limbs.

Because the flames on Qin Fang's palms still burned, the black mist released by the Shikigami not only failed to harm Qin Fang, but seemed to be pushed back into the Shikigami's body by the flames.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

The sound of fire crackling was incessant, a bit like fueling the flames... except here it wasn't gasoline that was burning, but the black mist.

Qin Fang's Fireball Technique finally proved its utility, not just a method for Qin Fang to sneak attack experts, but naturally capable of countering the black mist.

With the black mist no longer posing a threat, it was now a straightforward battle, placing Qin Fang and the Shikigami on equal footing.

"Such strong strength..."

This exchange was a clash of power, and for the first time, Qin Fang felt the strength of the Shikigami, the Dog Ghost.

Though Qin Fang had estimated its strength would be extraordinary upon seeing the Dog Ghost's robust body, only by actually engaging did he realize this Dog Ghost's power was incredibly great, almost too much even for the significantly strengthened Qin Fang to handle!

"You think I can't deal with you, monster?"

This only fueled Qin Fang's anger, his aura intensifying silently.

The flames on his hands couldn't be extinguished, as they were a magical treasure for countering the black mist; once extinguished, the black mist would surge back.

Nevertheless, these flames, condensed by Qin Fang's Fireball Technique, could harm opponents without harming Qin Fang himself, which was quite fortunate.

"You beast, take this!"

Passive defense wasn't Qin Fang's style, and with the threat of the black mist eliminated, he no longer needed to hold back.

Immediately turning passive into active, activating the Snow Traversing Step, his entire being became a black blur, encircling the Shikigami with flames, then seizing the opportunity to deliver a strike.

This strike consumed a considerable amount of Qin Fang's strength, nearly amounting to seventy to eighty percent of his cultivation, enough to instantly kill a typical grandmaster-level expert.

This was his first time tangling with such a Shikigami, unsure if its defense was as formidable as its Attack Power.

If Qin Fang's attack was too weak, it might fail to breach the Shikigami's defenses, hence the power behind this seventy to eighty percent blow carried significant weight.
