Chapter 319
Chapter 319 – Zhang Tong VS Khan – Part One
On the other side, Jiang Man and his soul were fending off against four spirits of Khan .
It was like a fight of multiple stands in an anime, which the ethereal beings shed against the others in mid-air . Shockwaves from the collision of fists and kicks caused the air to tremble .
Jiang Man also got injured from each impact that Khan’s souls caused to his soul . Every punchnded on his [Kindness], the same bruises and wound appeared on his body .
The death of the soul could trante to the death of the physical flesh!
"I didn’t want to use this . You leave me no choice! [Amaterasu]!"
A skill that one of the otherworlders created using a character from an anime as his inspiration . It was a ck me that could not be extinguished with normal means unless the skill user turned it off .
The ethereal me from hellnded on two of Khan’s souls, which caused them to cry in pain .
"Ha! Take that!"
Jiang Man believed that it would be the end of Khan if one of the soul burnt to ashes .
Unfortunately, his joyous mood ended in a few seconds after the ck fire was lit . The ck fire disappeared!
Khanughed, "Fool! Fake hellfire from system skills isn’t effective against real souls . Now die!"
Four souls punched onto [Kindness], which sent the soul flying back into Jiang Man’s body .
Jiang Man vomited blood because his soul was forcefully unsummoned . He also fell off his horse as he could no longer control his body .
"N-No!"
In despair, Jiang Man nced at his angelic cultivation progress . Only his [Charity] was over 50% at the moment while the rest of his virtues were lower than 30% .
"I have to bet on it . Come out, [Charity]!"
Jiang Man attempted to awaken his charity soul on the spot as he knew that this virtue had healing power . As long as he could heal himself, he could survive from this battle .

"NOOO!!"
Out of desperation in the blink of death, Jiang Man tried to awaken all virtues he had despite the low percentage .
>

It was like a suicidal gambler who bet everything to get his lost money back . Out of his 6 remaining virtues, five of them failed and were erased from his soul forever .
*BADUMP*
As if fate did not abandon him, hisst virtue, his [Loyalty], which had only 5% sess chance because he got it recently this year, awakened .
The appearance of the soul was himself in his previous life, cosying as a character from aputer game . Ironically, he was cosying as Guan Yu .
Jiang Man had no time to think, he deployed his "Guan Yu" to fight back four ghosts who had the appearance of Lu Bu . The fake Guan Yu charged at the four souls to buy more times for the real body to recover .
"No matter how many souls you can get, you aren’t my match! [Qi st]!"
One of Khan’s spirits pointed his index finger at Jiang Man and fired one of Sun Fang’s skill . A fireball condensed from the top of the soul’s finger andunched forward .
*BOOM*
Fake Guan Yu moved in front of Jiang Man and took the brunt of the skill, which the explosion inflicted a burning pain to both of them . However, as Khan had said, system skills were not that effective against souls as the deadly detonation of fireball should have killed both of them, yet they were still fine .
"Smart . But how long can you withstand in that condition? All souls, fire [Qi st]!"
As the restriction of one-use-per-day did not apply to the virtue souls, they could spam the skills as many times they wanted with the cost of ten-fold lifespans .
The four spirits surrounded the struggling Jiang Man and aimed their index fingers .
"[Frozen Kingdom]!"
A shout from an intruder interrupted the four spirits, and a barrier of ice walls erected around Jiang Man and his soul while the ground was frozen . It was Pu Jing’s skill .
Khan was aware of Pu Jing, but he nned to kill the weakest Jiang Man first before he could deal with another otherworlder . Unfortunately, he failed .
"Oh well, that weakling is dead meat . I’ll take you down first!"
Khan’s four spirits turned their attention toward Pu Jing who had summoned his two spirits as well to prepare for the sh of stands .
As they were about to rush at each other, a figure from the coalition army turned into afterimages, rushing at Khan in an inhuman speed .
*BANG*
The person swung his ive at Khan, but it was blocked by the [Qi Shield] .
Khan’s face grimace as the system notified him that he had just lost over 50,000 lifespans in one hit . He had a bit over 200,000 lifespans when he first arrived, now there were less than 150,000 because of the assant .
Upon looking at the face of the ambusher, the grim expression on Khan’s face turned into a smile .
"You finally show up, Zhang Tong!"
It was Tong who attacked Khan when his attention was on the others .
Everything was a part of Tong’s n as he, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu predicted this scenario and improvised with the changes .
He allowed Guan Yu and his gang to fight the clones, so Jiang Man had to go out to save his brothers .
With Jiang Man on the battlefield, Khan was forced to deploy his souls to counter the four brothers . Although Tong did not expect that both of them had awakened their wings to that extent, it gave Tong and his army enough information for the next n .
Then, Cao Cao and Pu Jing made a move, which confirmed Cao Cao’s stance about the negotiation to surrender . It revealed that Cao Cao had not given up fighting against Tong just yet . Thus, Tong watched them getting crippled by the clones . Though they did not die from the fight, the injuries Cao Cao’s generals received were enough to put them inactive for another year .
After Jiang Man and Pu Jing drew the four souls away enough distance from Khan, Tong was more confident that he could ambush and kill the Xiongnu King, who did not have the boosted power of his angelic souls . Thus, he charged at Khan with his new footwork, the Lamia Steps .
"Thanks for crippling them for me . Now, die! [Time Stop]!"
The world turned into greyscale the moment [Time Stop] were uttered . Tong had 50 seconds to kill Khan during this time .
He pulled his ive backward and shed at Khan’s neck .
*DONG*
The Qi Shield of Khan was still active even the time had been stopped, but Tong did not mind it . He readied his stance and was about to sh at Khan again .
"No matter how strong your skills are, you can’t fight me in this world!"
As soon as Tong finished his words, Khan’s eyeballs moved and red at Tong .
"Nani!?"
"[Time Stop]!"
Khan activated his mimic skill, which he copied from Tong . He leaped off his horse and swung his crescent halberd to counter-attack .
Tong’s ive and Khan’s halberd shed, which sent Tong staggered backward ten steps . The power difference between a four-winged angel and three-wing demon was too vast .
"I knew you’ll use this silly trick, Zhang Tong . Your 50 seconds trick won’t work against me! I, too, can stop times for 50 seconds!"
"You ..."
Tong had never expected that Khan could even copy skills from otherworlders, which was even more ridiculous than his skill sets .
Because of the stopping time, Khan had enough time to pull back his four souls to his side . It only took him two seconds for the soul to be unsummoned and resummoned again .
Tong’s n backfired . Instead of assassinating Khan, he was trapped in a one-on-one duel with this monster within the time stopping world without any help .
45 Seconds left before the skills expired .
Khan and his four spirits charged at Tong, which surpassed the speed of Lu Bu when Tongst fought him in Anping .
Two souls of Tong were also summoned to repel the four souls while Tong locked eyes with Khan and attacked him again .
’Full overclock! Time Alter: Double el!’
Tong increased his speed even in this stale world, which he matched Khan’s current speed . They crossed 10 blows in session within two seconds, yet Khan’s face was still rxed as if he had not given his all yet .
"Nice try, brat . Too bad, you’re fighting against the great me . [Qi Pinnacle: Time and Space Law]!"
If Sun Fang cultivated his skill to the max level, he would get this additional skill . It was a skill simr to Tong’s derived [Time Alter], which could elerate his perception of time flow within the space .
Khan could sense that everything around him became slower while he could maintain his current speed . As a result, he finally found an opening .
The crescent halberd shed from Tong’s right upper shoulder to his left waist, almost cutting him in half despite him wearing the steel armor .
Khanughed, "It’s over!"
"Regen! Time Alter: Triple el!"
The deadly wound disappeared in an instant while Tong’s speed increased again . This time, Tong broke through Khan’s defense and shed him on his right torso .
*DONG*
[Qi Shield] activated for the third time . Khan was left with lower than 40,000 lifespans now .
Khan clicked his tongue as he deactivated his Qi Shield . Had Tongnded an attack on him again, he would have run out of lifespans and died .
"Now you’ve pissed me off!"
He went all out against Tong, which he disyed another nightmarish skill of a former nemesis of Tong, Liu Ping’s [Superhuman] .
With the addition of the former Lu Bu’s experiences and his current physics, his prowess surpassed Liu Ping by miles .
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
*SWUA*
Tong could not keep up with Khan’s speed even though he was using the Triple el . For every three exchange, Khan wouldnd one or two blows on him, just like when he had friendly spars with Lu Bu in Jinyang .
30 Seconds remaining,
In less than 20 seconds after the fight, Tong’s steel armor was torn to shred while his body was covered in wounds .
Tong took a deep breath and activated another of his trump card, Transformation .
His skins turned into snake scales, which became anotheryer of defense . Tong’s demonic red eyes brightened like a fireball as he elerated his blood cirction and mustered all power he had left in his body .
*CLANK*
Khannded another blow on Tong’s torso, but he could not cut through his skins .
Sensing the ominous signsing from Tong, Khan unsummoned his souls to increase his battle power . The soul jumped back into Khan’s body, and four white tentacle wings fluttered behind his back .
"I should have done this instead from the very beginning . Now die, scum!"
