Chapter 2335: Look What The Horse Dragged In
2335 Look What The Horse Dragged In
As Ball Song Shuhang grew more agile, he grew more elusive. He swiftly adapted to Song Shuhang's body after enduring a few blasts. He even learned to use defensive techniques with this body to counter the artillery fire coming from behind.
Both sides chased and countered each other, each employing their respective methods. It didn't take long for them to circle the bald satellite. The 15 cannons belonging to Song Shuhang left neat craters on the satellite's surface. Despite Ball Song Shuhang's ragged appearance, he was still bouncing around.
"This won't do. If this continues, the Fat Ball will become more proficient and my advantage will gradually fade." Song Shuhang pondered.
Although he had taken on the appearance of the fat ball, he was not the genuine article. He lacked the knowledge of certain secret techniques and divine powers. If he couldn't take down his quarry, the tables could turn in no time.
"It's time to switch forms... I should change into the fortress mode that the fat ball used on Earth." Song Shuhang made up his mind. His body transformed once again and numerous cannons emerged all over.
On the opposite side, Ball Song Shuhang sensed a significant surge in energy and halted his escape. He crossed his arms to summon the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure to create an Impregnable Holy City in front of him to shield himself.
The Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure was a life-bound magical treasure and essentially became part of the cultivator's body. Just as Song Shuhang could use the transformation ability after becoming the fat ball, Ball Song Shuhang could take on Song Shuhang's form.
Song Shuhang felt a faint ache in his waist.
"Full-screen attack!" he ordered, determined to unleash maximum firepower.
Boom! Countless cannons illuminated the starry sky, and billions of turrets blazed gloriously. In this situation, more firepower was better, and scale was more impressive. The barrage was relentless and left no room for evasion.
"Face your proudest attack, Ball Song Shuhang!"
The artillery fire resembled a fierce and intense heavy rain. Ball Song Shuhang sought refuge behind the Impregnable Holy City in an attempt to withstand the onslaught. However, under such relentless artillery fire, the Impregnable Holy City couldn't hold out for long.
As the cannons continued to bombard, it eventually crumbled and the volley reached Ball Song Shuhang's body.
"Now!" Song Shuhang seized the opportunity and lunged toward Ball Song Shuhang's head amid the barrage.
His liquid body split into two parts—one maintained the cannon fire while the other expanded into a giant net in an attempt to ensnare Ball Song Shuhang. Song Shuhang intended to devour him and establish a karmic bond with the fat ball. Even if it failed, he had split his body to ensure a quick escape.
However, just as the net was about to ensnare the youth, a rushing sound of hooves filled the air. A pitch-black horse without horseshoes or a saddle appeared and charged across the path.
The horse collided with Song Shuhang's liquid metal body.
Pa! The part of Song Shuhang's body that was maintaining the battle fortress was sent flying by the hoof. The large net meant to ensnare Ball Song Shuhang quickly lost control and form.
Ball Song Shuhang extended his hand and quickly retreated to the side while clutching the large net formed by half of Song Shuhang's body.
Boom! The other half of Song Shuhang's body was sent flying by the horse's hooves and created another huge hole in the bald satellite.
Song Shuhang was left speechless. He gazed at the horse in the sky as his heart sank.
"Wait! Hold on!" he called out in a desperate attempt, "Senior Ma, stop! I'm Shuhang!"
The pitch-black horse in the air snorted in clear disdain. Then, it charged toward Song Shuhang.
The scene resembled a charging superhero at full speed that carried the momentum of a thousand galloping horses. The horse's hooves, in particular, emitted a seven-colored divine artifact light. Being hit by both hooves could spell the end of the bet.
At this moment, Song Shuhang had just crawled out of the hole. The horse was on a collision course with him. There was no way to avoid it.
Song Shuhang's heart turned cold. Did his wish require him to endure both branches at once? Did he wish to kill the fat ball, now transformed into Song Shuhang, and get kicked to death by Senior Ma?
With no way to dodge it, Song Shuhang transformed his body back into a liquid ball. In this precarious moment, he could only take a gamble and meet the incoming horse hooves with his soft form.
Just as the horse was about to hit Song Shuhang, a large net suddenly fell from the sky and covered the horse.
In an instant, Ball Song Shuhang activated the Instant flash technique and dashed to the side of the horse.
"Ah!" Ball Song Shuhang roared and rained a barrage of blows onto the horse. His fists were like meteors, each strike causing tremors on the bald satellite beneath.
The horse let out a wail as its charge was disrupted, but its body still collided with Song Shuhang due to inertia.
Ball Song Shuhang persisted in pressing forward while pummeling the horse relentlessly.
Ball Song Shuhang lay on the horse's body while delivering a barrage of punches. The horse lay on Song Shuhang's liquid body. It screamed in agony while Song Shuhang's soft liquid form endured successive heavy blows.
"What a turn of events!" Song Shuhang wondered. His head was beginning to ache.
