Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Victory or Defeat in an Instant

Severe retching noises nearly spread throughout the entire block, and the sound wave control skill—whose origin was unknown, whether it was stolen from Heng Ha Generals or some other entity—was also disrupted. Under the influence of gravity, Feng Xue, who fell to the ground, directly took the damage without even a second chance to explode her armor.

The Massive Heavenly Dog tried to reach out again, but a feeling of swelling surged in his mouth, accompanied by nausea and throat discomfort. Suddenly, a thick "python" burst forth from his mouth.

It was pink, over three meters thick, and still inflating. Because it was so huge, at first glance, it was hard for anyone to recognize that this thing was actually a tongue.

Name: Illusionary Fat Tongue Toffee

Elements: [Food], [Candy], [Tool], [Expansion], [Prank]

Description: A mischievous candy developed by a pair of red-haired twins, which causes the eater’s tongue to inflate continuously upon consumption. It melts in the mouth and takes effect immediately; the larger the body, the better the effect. The prank effect will subside after twenty-four hours and will not cause any harm to the body; please eat with confidence.

Remark: No fatty can resist such a colorful candy.

...

The Massive Heavenly Dog’s tongue grew larger and larger, inflating to nearly twenty meters in length in the blink of an eye.

The feeling of having his mouth blocked by the growing thing made movement or attack extremely difficult for the Massive Heavenly Dog, and what was worse, the tongue’s inflation still hadn’t stopped.

The Massive Heavenly Dog even felt that his jaw was about to be dislocated by this object!

Seeing Feng Xue pulling out a motorcycle and riding on it, the Massive Heavenly Dog swung his arms with force but was blocked by the unforeseen tongue obstructing his view.

Thus, he made his most disastrous decision—

To disengage Fusion.

Although it was unclear why the opponent’s candy worked on the Massive Heavenly Dog—who was not a biological entity nor an individual—it was nothing more than a "creation" formed by the fusion of the powers of the Venerable Heavenly Dog, the Fog Heavenly Dog, and the Great Heavenly Dog. Now that the Massive Heavenly Dog had been afflicted with a debuff, it was assumed that if he disengaged the fusion, it should reset.

According to the Great Heavenly Dog’s understanding of illusionary powers, curses, and special states, it should have been so.

But the problem was that the Fat Tongue Toffee was not a "single-target curse" type of illusionary item. Generally speaking, it only targeted "eaters," but as long as one was judged as an eater, even if split into countless entities, you were still the eater.

Thus, as soon as the Massive Heavenly Dog split apart, the entire block was suddenly crushed by countless tongues—

During the effective time of the Fat Tongue Toffee, the tongues would only inflate, and the already expanded size would not diminish upon splitting into clones.

The Heavenly Dogs, with an average height of less than two meters, each had a tongue swelling out of their mouths, over five meters thick and more than forty meters long. The vast majority of Heavenly Dogs had their jaws dislocated in an instant and were then crushed to the ground by their own or someone else’s tongue. Only the Fog Heavenly Dog and the already large Venerable Heavenly Dog still maintained basic mobility.

Slippery tongues, like thick tentacles, covered hundreds of meters around. It was only because the Fat Tongue Toffee inherently didn’t cause bodily harm that these Heavenly Dogs didn’t all get their heads exploded by their own tongues.

"F*ck, such a good opportunity?!" Feng Xue, who had already ridden a few hundred meters away on the motorcycle, looked back at the commotion behind him and immediately revealed an extremely perverted expression. He immediately turned the bike around, drew the Treatment Holy Mother, took out a filter and attached it to his waist, and once again expanded the veiled foggy area. He then rode back towards the group of Heavenly Dogs that had turned into "beauties spewing tentacles from their mouths."

As for the scene that followed, a survivor recalled:

On one side was a Knight making a swift and decisive move down the deserted street, blade flashing;

On the other side was the debris of colossal bodies, with continuous retching.

Here the Knight swung his blade, the mist thickened with only the flash of blood visible;

There the Heavenly Dogs flapped their wings, their strength helpless against the heavy, giant tongues.

The Heavenly Dogs fled in panic, their large tongues a cumbersome burden.

The Evil Knight struck with precision, and Little Swiftblade showcased his heroism.

Charging through a mountain of corpses, his sword swung only to eradicate evil.

Yet there, the Heavenly Dog, having severed its tongue, flapped its wings, seeking merely to scrape by and survive.

...

Just as the Great Heavenly Dog bit off its tongue and took flight, Feng Xue immediately activated the Oathkeeper’s Appearance, teleporting behind it. But following that came an extraordinarily heavy blow from a Zen Stick.

"Duang—"

The reverberation was like a booming bell, causing Feng Xue’s arms to go numb. Though his strength had surpassed twenty tons due to the Triple Transformation in his training outfit, he still found himself at a distinct disadvantage against the untransformed Great Heavenly Dog.

His yellow robe unfolded into wings, preventing Feng Xue from being blown away, but the Great Heavenly Dog had entirely lost its desire to tangle further.

Despite ruthlessly severing its own tongue, the root still swelled uncontrollably, the fear of the weird curse driving it to frantically flap like a dervish.

A twister erupted from the ground, scattering the figure of the Great Heavenly Dog into countless feathers amidst the winds.

Feng Xue attempted to use Oathkeeper’s Appearance again but soon realized he could no longer lock onto his target. Knowing the chase was futile, he blinked back to the streets filled with giant tongues, where he meted out sanctions against the Heavenly Dogs that attempted to mimic the severing of their tongues.

The slaughter didn’t last too long; about two minutes later, all the members of the Heavenly Dog Council, except for the misty and revered Heavenly Dogs who could flee despite their enlarged tongues, were devoured by Feng Xue’s Knight System.

Standing amidst the ruins, recently filled with tongues, he felt as though he was losing sanity.

Pulling out his filter and tucking it back into his waist pouch, Feng Xue once again mounted his motorcycle.

...

"What? The Heavenly Dog Council has been annihilated?!"

Inside the Shrine, a fox woman with nine tails looked at the Hundred-Eyed Demon in shock, to which it replied with its cool voice—

"Not entirely annihilated. The Great Heavenly Dog, Mist Heavenly Dog, and Revered Heavenly Dog are still alive but currently suffering from a strange curse and seeking Treatment from a Food Detachment Master."

"What difference does that make from being annihilated?" The fox woman took a deep breath, composed herself, and then turned to the nonchalant, horned man, frowning as she asked:

"Why aren’t you worried at all?"

"What’s there to worry about?" the horned man stretched lazily, carelessly saying:

"I was right there watching the live feed. That guy had completely suppressed the Masked Rider but simply because of carelessness, he didn’t intercept the Hidden Weapon the other threw. This proves that our method to deal with him is feasible. Now that both the Revered Heavenly Dog and the Great Heavenly Dog are key and still around, once we reconstruct a new Heavenly Dog Council during the Midsummer Night Festival, what’s to worry about catching him?"

"I was not careless!"

The voice with an enlarged tongue suddenly appeared. The Great Heavenly Dog, who had apparently been in the Shrine all the while, spoke angrily. His tongue had grown over a foot long again, and he could produce sound only by vibrating the air directly with his Power of Wind Control.

"Not careless?" The horned man’s previously joking demeanor turned serious, and the Great Heavenly Dog nodded:

"That thing had a charming effect as an Illusionary Fat Tongue Toffee. The moment it touched the lips of the Revered Heavenly Dog, it uncontrollably wanted to lick it, and since it melted upon contact with the lips, there was no chance to spit it out!"

"Forced consumption, eh? That complicates things..." The horned youth frowned, but the fox woman waved her hand, saying:

"No hassle. We’ll just need to give the Revered Heavenly Dog a mask next time."
