Chapter 244: Go for Broke!
The situation was at a deadlock, and everyone was being suppressed by Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, but as soon as Xiaohei joined the battle, the pressure greatly decreased.
However, Xiaohei's gun was relatively small and didn't hold much water. Xiang Beifei's breath soil was not warmed in sufficient quantity yet, and he had used it to deal with the strongest, Shi Renmei. Xiaohei couldn't expand the magazine of his Small Water Gun.
Xiaohei spat again and managed to kill another Ghostly Visage.
But eliminating them one by one was too slow. Even though Ma Ziqian and Xi Keyao had just, with Xiaohei's help, taken down a Ghostly Visage, they were quickly surrounded by another one.
On another front, Yongzhou University was still under attack by other Ghost Visages. Cheng Xin'an was initially able to sweep away these tentacle monsters, but there were simply too many, and they weren't substantially hurt. They kept fighting and, as he needed to protect his team—his SRs all in the late phase of Qi-Controlling—it was really troublesome, requiring someone else's help.
This could not go on!
Xiaohei's eyes rolled as if it had an idea. It leaped onto the stream and then spat out countless bubbles.
These bubbles fell into the water but were not swallowed by the stream. Since they were already very special, the bubbles were no ordinary bubbles.
The bubbles quickly enveloped the stream water, turning into bubble water balls!
"Woof!"
Xiaohei waved its paw spiritedly!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The bubbles wrapped around the stream water darted through the air and flew towards the Ghost Visages!
All the Ghost Visages couldn't see the bubbles; they didn't even know the bubble water balls were already hanging over their heads.
Then Xiaohei woofed with a grin and snapped its fingers.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The stream water bubbles smashed onto the Ghost Visages, exploding immediately, sending water splashing everywhere!
A straightforward operation.
To the common eye, it did not seem intimidating at all.
However, these unthreatening water bubbles, upon bursting, acted like natural desolate beast bombs. They exploded with such force that the Ghost Visages were terrified and howled in agony!
Everyone couldn't see Xiaohei, so no one thought to defend against it, nor did they know how to. Xiaohei moved through the crowd with its bubbles, deploying various stream water bombs and bombarding the Ghost Visages wildly.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The stream water landed on the Ghost Visages, corroding their shells and causing them to emit white smoke all over their bodies.
The Ghost Visages wailed in pain, clutching their heads and scurrying away, tentacles continually running out from the parasitized corpses.
Then Xiaohei's bubbles acted like the Soup of Forgetfulness, forcing it down each tentacle monster that crawled out of a corpse.
The Ghost Visages were completely unable to guard against them, for they could only see water falling from the sky, without knowing when it arrived!
"Ah! Help!"
"Lao Liu, why are you harming me?"
"Beastly serpent, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
"I'm sorry, my wife."
"Mom! I want to go home!"
...
The woods echoed with all sorts of last words from the Ghost Visages, a mix of terror, heroism, and acceptance of death… all kinds.
But no matter what the Ghost Visages said, Xiaohei couldn't care less, dousing them all without discrimination!
In just a moment, the ground was littered with heaps of corpses!
These bodies were those parasitized by the Ghost Visages, because Xiaohei had sprinkled the stream water on them, seemingly disrupting the balance of their bodies, making them unsuitable for further parasitism.
Give Xiaohei five minutes, and the entire forest turned quiet!
——
Everyone was stunned, watching everything unfold!
The tentacle monsters that were aggressively attacking suddenly were hit by water bubbles from nowhere and wiped out!
They had thought this would be a fierce fight, possibly lasting several hours, even prepared to fight to the death with the desolate beasts.
However, nobody expected the fight to end so suddenly!
From the moment Xiaohei joined the battle to the end, it took merely five minutes.
"They...just died like that?"
Long Guocheng watched in disbelief at the bodies lying motionless at his feet.
Ma Ziqian cautiously kicked the corpses with the tip of his foot. The bodies had numerous horrendous fissures, remnants of the tentacles trying to escape, but no tentacles poked out anymore.
All the tentacles seemed to have turned to ash.
"Dead."
Ma Ziqian looked at Xiang Beifei with great surprise.
They couldn't see Xiaohei, only witnessing the water bubbles, unaware of who was responsible. Turning their heads, they just saw Xiang Beifei wielding a gun, exchanging fire with Shi Renmei.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of the machine gun echoed through the woods. Xiang Beifei's method of attack even left Long Guocheng and his colleagues dumbfounded. They thought Xiang Beifei was a close-combat Body Cultivator, but unexpectedly, he was also a master of long-range firearms!
You should know that these Ghost Whiskers had tightly restricted their several long-range skill-type Awakeners, but Xiang Beifei, using a very peculiar local gun, managed to suppress Shi Renmei. This style of fighting was simply inexplicable to them!
Seeing the surging water splashes steadily suppress Shi Renmei, everyone immediately looked at Xiang Beifei with admiring gazes!
It all started from the sky raining down clusters of water bullets, pelting and knocking down the Ghost Visages!
"It must be classmate Xiang Beifei!" Xi Keyao exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they also believed that it was Xiang Beifei's doing!
Apart from Xiang Beifei, no one else could have managed it.
Now only Shi Renmei was left, the most troublesome Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, and also the most formidable one!
Originally, Shi Renmei had been put in a sorry state by Xiang Beifei's water gun, but now she was using her tentacles to wrap around a large tree, relying on the dense branches and leaves to defend against Xiang Beifei.
But at that moment, she suddenly felt something was amiss, turned her head, and realized all her companions were dead, which shocked her immensely!
"How did this happen!"
Shi Renmei couldn't see Xiaohei, so she had no idea how her minions had died, and the scene before her eyes was utterly shocking to her.
Xiang Beifei turned his head and was also slightly startled.
Xiaohei took care of all the Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage in five minutes?
This little guy, was his combat power so formidable?
"Woof woof woof!"
Xiaohei barked triumphantly, even resting the gun on his shoulder, head held high and chest out.
"Ah? Eh? Is that how you understood what I said?"
Xiang Beifei looked at Xiaohei, who was carrying the Small Water Gun, with a puzzled look.
Usually, apart from systematic matters, he hardly ever expected Xiaohei to fight against others. Just now, seeing the others in a grim situation, he said, "Xiaohei, go and help them, defend this wave!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaohei responded: "Okay! Let's give it a shot!"
Then his fighting spirit was aroused, his enthusiasm ignited, he unleashed his canine ferocity, exploiting his invisibility advantage, and he vigorously defeated all the Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage!
He truly went for broke!
The language miscommunication between man and dog resulted in the brutal demise of all the Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage, causing a human tragedy within the ranks of Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage!

Xiang Beifei had no idea that Xiaohei would be so clever and spirited, using the creek to single-handedly annihilate all the Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage!
The little guy's actions in the crucial moment were a complete surprise to him.
But he quickly regained his composure.
"Take her down."
Xiang Beifei no longer hesitated, now there was only Shi Renmei, the tentacle monster, left!
Since Xiaohei had the advantage of invisibility, dealing with her was not a problem at all.
Whoosh!
Xiaohei, carrying the Small Water Gun, charged out. His tiny figure darted across the water, quickly reloading his ammunition in the blink of an eye, then leaped behind Shi Renmei.
Shi Renmei couldn't see Xiaohei, but her Perception was much stronger than the other Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage. She quickly noticed a disturbance in the water as if something invisible swept through.
She immediately became alert, but Xiang Beifei had already leaped over wielding a big machine gun. He now had to attract Shi Renmei's attention, while the invisible Xiaohei took on the role of the main attacker!
Shi Renmei was troubled by Xiang Beifei's breath soil gun. While Xiang Beifei went "Bang! Bang! Bang!" she couldn't be careless and could only turn around to handle his gunfire because once careless, Xiang Beifei's breath soil gun would be enough to shoot her into a helpless state.
But in doing so, she lost track of where Xiaohei had dashed to.
At this moment, Shi Renmei was increasingly overwhelmed, but ultimately she was still faster than Xiang Beifei, making it very difficult for his breath soil bullets to hit. However, as she was fully concentrated, Xiaohei had already jumped right above Shi Renmei's head.
"Woof woof woof!"
Xiaohei pulled the trigger aimed at Shi Renmei's forehead!
Bang!
The bullet had already materialized by the time it left Xiaohei's barrel, and Shi Renmei saw this sudden bullet and immediately became aware. But it was too close, and Xiaohei's gun was unbelievably quick, leaving Shi Renmei no time to dodge.
Pfft!
A hole appeared in Shi Renmei's forehead!
Inside the hole, there was no blood flowing out, just various densely packed tentacles wriggling underneath her skin. The tentacles quickly formed another hole, trying to let Xiaohei's bullet pass through this hole from the forehead, exit out the back of the head, thus preventing any harm to herself.
For Shi Renmei, having a hole in her forehead wasn't a big issue at all!
However, Xiaohei had already calculated all this, and as the breath soil bullet entered Shi Renmei's brain, the bullet exploded, sending creek water splashing into Shi Renmei's head.
Sss! Sss! Sss!
That clear water was like intensely toxic corrosive water, splashing onto those tentacles, instantly corroding Shi Renmei's head.
"Ah! Ah!"
Shi Renmei screamed out in pain, holding her head and wailing tragically. This blow was excruciatingly painful for her.
As she clutched her head, Xiang Beifei in front had already pulled the trigger again—
Bang!
This time the shotgun hit Shi Renmei directly, each pellet causing creek water to splatter, travelling inside Shi Renmei's body, and her once beautiful body was riddled with holes.
Xiang Beifei, without any courtesy, fired a few more shots, blasting Shi Renmei's beautiful body to bloom once again.
Elegantly called double blossoms!
Splash!
Shi Renmei continued screaming, no longer able to hide under that intact shell. Tentacles emerged from her body, trying to escape. But Xiaohei splashed a big scoop of water on it, as if dousing it with black dog's blood, directly turning Shi Renmei into a heap of ash.
"Woof woof woof!"
Xiaohei stood triumphantly with his hands on his hips.
The Shi Renmei, with the late stage strength of Meridian Opening, had also been horrifically slain by Xiaohei's hand!
