182: How can you play if you can’t even handle the skills?

Just as Xia Qi finished collecting the spoils and was about to leave, a talisman floated over with the wind.

Xia Qi swung his sword, and his Sword Qi struck the talisman, causing a violent explosion.

The explosion produced thick smoke, and an ice wall appeared in front of Xia Qi, blocking the blast.

Beneath the ground behind Xia Qi, something unknown surged, rushing towards him.

Its speed was extremely fast, circling around Xia Qi.

Immediately after, several more figures emerged from a distance.

"You kill people and then just want to leave? Are all you Dragon Country people so impolite?"

Xia Qi looked towards the source of the voice.

Above an armored figure, a bug was speaking human words.

The bug had no eyes, and a look of disdain appeared on its face.

"What, you're not using that skill from before?"

"You can't use it now, can you!"

This bug was merely a medium for transmitting words; the true culprit was still hiding in the shadows, not showing himself.

It seemed these were the people Sakura Country sent to deal with him.

"Do you Sakura Country people only know how to hide?"

Xia Qi chuckled.

Hearing Xia Qi's words, the other party remained unconcerned.

"Are you trying to stall for time?"

"Too bad, I won't give you the chance!"

A giant spherical creature descended from the sky, directly smashing towards Xia Qi.

Xia Qi conjured an ice wall for defense.

The giant sphere crashed into the ice wall, causing cracks to appear.

Almost at the same time, the fellow underground rapidly swam towards Xia Qi.

It instantly arrived at Xia Qi's feet, its figure emerging from beneath the ground.

"A Summoner?"

Lightning crackled around Xia Qi's feet, and he stomped on the ground.

The ground vibrated, and the earth began to undulate.

The fellow who had just poked its head out was directly trapped by the earth layer.

Blazing flames ignited around Xia Qi, the scorching fire directly covering a hundred-meter radius around him.

The flames quickly forced the armored figure to retreat, and the bug on its body instantly turned to ash.

The round creature also retreated rapidly, terrified of being caught in the blast.

Only the fellow who had just emerged from underground was roasted into charcoal by the fierce fire.

"Medium rare, just eat it!"

Xia Qi knew that the opponent must be nearby.

For a while, his summons should be unusable.

With the summoned creature still here, the opponent wouldn't be too far.

"You truly exceeded my expectations, but if this is all you have, it's not enough."

"Xia Qi, there's an old saying in Dragon Country."

"A wise man submits to circumstances."

"I think you should understand its meaning better than I do."

A person appeared from behind the armored figure, looking refined and scholarly.

He pushed up his glasses, looking completely confident.

"You are indeed very strong, but as you are now, it's not enough!"

Behind Xia Qi, two more monsters, one green and one red, suddenly appeared.

A stream of fire spewed from the red monster's mouth, instantly engulfing Xia Qi.

The green monster swung the large club in its hand, directly striking Xia Qi.

With a loud boom, the green monster stood rooted to the spot, unmoving.

Frost suddenly appeared on its body, and its movements became extremely sluggish.

Before it, a phantom sword was moving towards the green monster, and the green monster wanted to escape but couldn't.

Instead, its body was slowly moving closer to the phantom sword, and the Sakura Country person also noticed the anomaly.

"What a strange ability, baka."

"Such a person, if he cannot be used by us, must not be allowed to live!"

After the green monster was killed, laughter suddenly echoed across the battlefield.

It sounded like the voices of several children.

"Uncle, you're no good, hahahaha!"

Three people who looked like children appeared on the battlefield, though their height indicated they were not young at all.

The scholarly man looked at the three with disdain and let out a soft snort.

"It's him, right!"

A person with a large scar on his face appeared here.

His figure was massive, and he held an iron club taller than Xia Qi.

The five surrounded Xia Qi, and it looked as if Xia Qi had fallen into a passive position.

"You think you can kill me with just you lot?"

Xia Qi glanced at them, as if he had heard a joke.

"Uncle, you should worry more about your own safety!"

The three child-like figures said in unison.

The three of them quickly launched an attack on Xia Qi.

"Uncle, we are all rare class users, you won't escape from our hands!"

The only girl among the three pulled out a massive weapon, completely disproportionate to her small figure.

"A gunner class?"

Xia Qi said softly.

A sound of machinery turning was heard, and countless whooshing sounds filled the air.

Bullets rained down on Xia Qi.

The girl showed a crazed expression, laughing maniacally.

An ice wall blocked Xia Qi's front, deflecting all the bullets.

The two boys beside her jumped almost simultaneously.

One conjured a fireball in his hand, and the other manifested a water orb from the Spirit Realm in his hand.

Both attacks struck Xia Qi's position simultaneously, and a large amount of steam evaporated.

Xia Qi was engulfed in the steam, and the burly man, the fatty, jumped into the air and heavily slammed his iron club down on Xia Qi's position.

Just as they thought their mission was accomplished, Xia Qi's voice echoed from the sky.

"Is that all!"

"I thought you were so strong, turns out you're just a bunch of arrogant fools."

The scholarly man frowned, searching the sky for Xia Qi's whereabouts.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky.

A giant shadow covered all of them; in front of that shadow, they all seemed incredibly tiny.

The moment they made their move, Xia Qi had already teleported into the sky.

At this moment, he arrived, stepping on lightning, with a colossal elemental creature beneath him.

It swept with fierce winds, encircled by lightning, its body composed of ice and earth.

It was also enveloped in endless flames, obscuring the heavens and earth.

"Baka, what is this? The intelligence didn't mention this thing!"

The burly man cursed loudly; this seemed quite different from what they knew.

Xia Qi glared fiercely at the scholarly man below.

I don't summon creatures, but I can create one directly.

With a rumble, Xia Qi stomped on the colossal creature.

The colossal creature directly pressed down on the Sakura Country people below; its immense size made them feel suffocated.

They wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Bang!

A massive sound echoed across the Dragon Battlefield, and even people far away heard the loud noise.

"What was that!"

Many people looked in the direction of Xia Qi, but saw nothing.

Amidst a pile of ruins, Xia Qi stood before the corpses of the child-like figures.

"You couldn't even withstand one of my skills, how are you going to fight?"

Just then, several talismans floated towards Xia Qi.
