Looking at the extra Soul-Sealing Nail in his hand, Pang Tong felt as if he had been injected with a strong dose of adrenaline, and his initial fear of Gu Shi had now completely transford into an intense fighting spirit.
"Prepare to die!"
With a roar, Pang Tong launched a fierce charge. Tan Qizhi and Cao Siyuan, who still had so combat power left, also assisted in their own ways.
Xiao Feng breathed a temporary sigh of relief. Pang Tong, that old fellow, had finally been successfully manipulated by him.
Regarding this manipulation, Xiao Feng felt quite satisfied with himself, as he hadn't needed to say much but only guided Pang Tong's thinking through actions.
This was considered a more advanced form of manipulation, requiring an accurate read of the opponent's psychology.
Next, the goal was to see if Pang Tong, holding the Soul-Sealing Nail, could suppress Gu Shi.
While pretending to search the ground, Xiao Feng kept an eye on the battle.
He saw Pang Tong, during his charge, throw two other Soul-Sealing Nails to Tan Qizhi and Cao Siyuan.
The three moved quickly, forming a triangle formation to attack.
"Clang!"
The mont the Soul-Sealing Nail touched Gu Shi, a spark ignited, and Gu Shi seed to be severely injured, retreating several steps.
That successful strike greatly boosted morale.
Cao Siyuan and Tan Qizhi imdiately repositioned themselves to maintain the triangular formation with Pang Tong, launching an attack.
For a mont, they had Gu Shi howling in pain, unable to retaliate!
"Does it look like we don't need all seven Soul-Sealing Nails to handle Gu Shi?" Du Qingyue frowned lightly.
Xiao Feng shook his head, "It's not that simple. Gu Shi looks miserable but hasn't taken any substantial damage.
And Pang Tong and the others aren't machines; they can't maintain this attack intensity forever. Once they slow down, it'll be Gu Shi's turn to counterattack."
Soon enough, they heard Gu Shi roar, breaking the trio's formation and landing a punch on Cao Siyuan's chest.
"Pfft!"
A jet of blood spurted from Cao Siyuan's mouth as he lay on the ground, feeling as if several ribs had fractured. The agonizing pain washed over him, almost making him faint several tis.
Pang Tong's expression changed drastically. He turned his head, about to ask Xiao Feng if the fourth Soul-Sealing Nail had been found yet.
But then he heard Xiao Feng shout, "Catch!"
After shouting, Xiao Feng tossed a Soul-Sealing Nail over.
Pang Tong reached out to catch it and imdiately threw it to a teammate who was burning Talisman Paper, looking at Xiao Feng and saying, "Keep searching; make sure to find all of them quickly!"
"Find all of them?" Gu Shi sneered, "You'll never find them all because..."
However, before he could continue, Pang Tong had already called for another attack.
Cao Siyuan handed his Soul-Sealing Nail to a teammate, clutching his chest and moving away.
"Are you still worried that Pang Tong and Gu Shi are just acting to trick away our Soul-Sealing Nails?" Du Qingyue asked, sidling up to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng pondered, "That's part of it, but I'm more worried that even if we give away all the Soul-Sealing Nails, Pang Tong's group might still fail to eliminate Gu Shi.
If we face Gu Shi again in the future, we'll have no way to deal with him."
Du Qingyue glanced at the situation with Pang Tong and his team, saying, "Six out of the Soul-Sealing Nails we've held have already been given out.
And among the nine of Pang Tong's group, there's one dead, one fainted, one injured, leaving only six.
If more people like Cao Siyuan get incapacitated, we'll have to send our people holding the Soul-Sealing Nails in as replacents."
"Are you suggesting we give them all away?"
"I'm just stating the current situation. You decide what to do next."
Xiao Feng thought for a while, steeled his heart, and pulled two more Soul-Sealing Nails from his pocket, shouting, "I found two more!"
Pang Tong's spirit was lifted, and he signaled his teammates burning Talisman Papers and chanting spells to go and get the Soul-Sealing Nails, aiming to overpower Gu Shi in one go.
anwhile, Gu Shi's eyes showed rare panic.
He himself held one Soul-Sealing Nail and knew Xiao Feng and the others couldn't gather all seven, but even six would be enough to incapacitate him.
"Are you really going for mutual destruction?" Gu Shi croaked.
"Don't waste words with it; it's scared and trying to buy ti!" Pang Tong reminded.
Xiao Feng gestured for Hua Ling to co over, saying, "We can't just stand around; let's go help."
"OK!" Hua Ling nodded and agreed, instructing his team mbers to join the battle.
This scene did not please Li Ying.
Because the way Xiao Feng had called Hua Ling was sowhat casual, as if teasing a small pet.
And the fact that his own team leader fell for it completely irritated him, running over imdiately.
"Worrying, really worrying!" Li Ying shook her head and sighed, feeling a headache at the back of her neck.
As ninety percent of the participants engaged in combat, the battle beca one-sided.
Gu Shi retreated step by step, barely able to withstand the onslaught.
Finally, after falling down once more, Pang Tong seized the opportunity to drive a Soul-Sealing Nail into Gu Shi's palm.
"Aaaaah!"
Gu Shi's agonizing scream filled the air as his previously impervious skin was pierced easily by the Soul-Sealing Nail and embedded into the ground like tofu.
Falling to the ground, Gu Shi's eyes widened angrily, grabbing a mber of the Demon Suppression Action Team by the collar and baring his fangs.
"Pfft!"
The mber's neck was bitten by Gu Shi, unable to even let out a scream before dying.
"Zi Ming!" Gong Kaishan cried out in heart-wrenching anguish, "Damn it, I'll kill you!"
The other mbers also turned red-eyed.
Having lived and fought together daily, they were more like brothers than re teammates.
Seeing a brother die so tragically, how could they remain calm?
Hua Ling's gaze turned cold as he quickly approached the crowd.
But barely two ters in, Li Ying blocked him, saying, "You're the team leader; you need to command, not fight personally."
After speaking, his eyes lingered on Xiao Feng, who was observing the battle nearby, his tone dripping with sarcasm, "In this regard, you should learn from so people. They just stand by and watch, not caring if their n live or die."
Xiao Feng remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard the taunt directed at him.
Because at this mont, it wasn't the ti for infighting.
After losing a Demon Suppression Action Team mber, many others got injured.
The sa was true for Xiao Feng's team, with Lone Wolf, Iron Doll, and Lv Ziming, who were at the forefront, all sustaining various degrees of injury.
At this point, both sides were furious, and unless Xiao Feng and Hua Ling called for a halt, the conflict would only escalate.
But calling a halt now would render all previous efforts aningless.
At least Xiao Feng wasn't willing to stop. He could only remind everyone not to charge mindlessly, urging them to attack with strategy and rhythm.
