My Cat Has Superpower?!

Chapter 197: Chapter 196: Ice and Fire

After processing the Heavenly Mechanism Rat’s blood, Long Jiuri fell into contemplation for a moment, as if he had encountered some thorny problem, and his brows gradually furrowed.

Standing up, Long Jiuri glanced at Qiu Yuebai and said in a deep voice, "I’ll leave this to you, contact me immediately if anything happens."

Qiu Yuebai nodded repeatedly, extremely docile in front of Long Jiuri.

As Long Jiuri reached the doorway, he suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on Qiu Yuebai, "It’s my first time seeing someone from the Heavenly Master Mansion keep such a low profile."

Before his words had completely faded away, Long Jiuri took large strides and walked out, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuebai, with a rather unpleasant expression, bit her lower lip and couldn’t utter a single word for quite some time.

"Ugh..."

With a low groan, Xiong Kang clutched his painful head and struggled to sit up, confusingly looking around before he remembered the endangered Lu Zixun.

With a carp’s leap, he sprang up from the ground, ready to walk toward the bathtub.

But he found Lu Zixun lying beside Lin Siyin, occasionally smacking his lips as if savoring something delicious.

Seeing this, Xiong Kang could only smile helplessly.

He found another chair to sit in and began to understand what had happened in the mountain villa.

Slowly opening his eyes, Lu Zixun stretched languidly with a yawn.

He hadn’t slept so comfortably in a long time, and most importantly, his strength had recovered.

By now, no trace of light could be seen outside the window, indicating that night had fallen.

Lin Siyin was still sound asleep next to him, but he couldn’t see anyone else inside the room.

Just as Lu Zixun was about to fall back to sleep, his expression suddenly changed.

The energy stored in the Ground-to-Air Spiritual Shield was nearly exhausted. He wondered what had happened during his sleep.

Getting up, he rushed toward the doorway; the pressing matter now was to find Xiong Kang and understand the situation.

By the time Lu Zixun arrived in the hall, he realized that machine guns had been set up inside, aiming at the villa’s door as if expecting something to burst through.

He immediately spotted Xiong Kang among the crowd, nursing his injuries. Lu Zixun’s figure flashed to his shoulder, asking, "Kang Ning, what happened?"

"Basic tactics."

Xiong Kang raised his hand to pat Lu Zixun’s head but winced from touching his wound, grimacing in pain.

"What’s all this about basic tactics?"

Lu Zixun gave Xiong Kang a speechless look and then noticed the deep wound beneath Xiong Kang’s right pectoral.

"It’s the Insect Clan led by a Queen-level creature; they’ve started attacking this place," Xiong Kang explained tiredly.

"Just that this time, the number of bugs is beyond my imagination; I suspect that all the bugs from Lingchuan City are here."

"Don’t we have the Ground-to-Air Spiritual Shield? How did you get injured?" Lu Zixun nodded, understanding the situation, and then suddenly questioned Xiong Kang about the source of his injuries.

After taking a sip from a nearby bottle of mineral water, Xiong Kang sighed, "The Spiritual Shield isn’t all-powerful, eventually it will run out of energy. That’s how the Heavenly Master Mansion nearly got wiped out by the Insect Clan."

"Taking advantage of the Spiritual Shield while it still holds, we can fight and retreat, trying to reduce the number of bugs, but the effect is minimal."

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang conveyed his helplessness, "The number of bugs is too vast. They’ve probably surrounded the Energy Shield by now, just waiting for it to vanish."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun’s brow twitched, and he jumped off Xiong Kang’s shoulder, running toward the entrance.

As he stepped out of the villa, an overwhelming stench of insect blood assailed his nostrils, nearly suffocating him.

How many bugs had been killed for the stench to be this overpowering?

Lifting his head, myriads of crimson eyes appeared within Lu Zixun’s line of sight.

Although the power of these bugs wasn’t on par with Lu Zixun’s,

faced with their overwhelming numbers, Lu Zixun still felt an extreme sense of pressure.

Retreating back into the villa, Lu Zixun, with a grave expression, looked at Xiong Kang, "What do we do now?"

"Hold the fort and wait for reinforcements."

Xiong Kang spread his hands, jokingly saying, "Or do I use Sword Control to whisk you away directly? After all, these bugs are coming for you."

"Then these students are doomed."

Giving Xiong Kang a look, Lu Zixun lifted his paw and rubbed his ear, "When can support arrive, now that the signals are restored?"

"It’s not that simple."

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang took out a compressed biscuit, "The scale of the bug swarm outside the villa is now comparable to a medium-sized bug swarm. To resolve these bugs without causing an uproar, the tactical deployment alone would take at least half an hour, not to mention mobilizing equipment and weapons."

He sighed silently.

Swallowing the biscuit in his mouth, Xiong Kang said, "The main issue is there are too many people here. I simply cannot take everyone away with my own strength, so the only option is to hold our ground."

Thinking over Xiong Kang’s words, Lu Zixun also found it very troubling.

Initially believing that deploying a Spiritual Energy Shield would ensure safety, he hadn’t expected the bugs to surround them.

Glancing at the ground-to-air Energy Shield, which was at ten percent, it should hold for about an hour.

"Tough one."

Considering several breakout schemes, Lu Zixun felt none were reliable, and with a look of melancholy, hands on his head, he muttered, "This is tricky."

"Actually, it’s not that tricky, it’s just we lack a large-scale lethal Superpower Technique."

Having finished dinner, Xiong Kang wiped his mouth, "You know, the kind that can deal damage over an area, an AoE skill, get it?"

Seeing Lu Zixun still puzzled, Xiong Kang raised a hand and scratched his head.

Recalling the game Lu Zixun recently played, a thought flashed in his mind, "It’s like that ridiculous game you play where the Mage casts Blizzard."

"You play ridiculous games; you’re the big ridiculous one."

Understanding Xiong Kang’s point, Lu Zixun retorted, and then suddenly had an excellent idea.

Since they couldn’t break through, why not slaughter the entire swarm and resolve the problem from the root?

At this moment, Lu Zixun felt he truly was a genius.

"I’m gonna go try something."

After greeting Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun’s figure flashed, and he appeared outside the villa.

Driven by curiosity, Xiong Kang shook his head and followed suit.

The decisive Lu Zixun had already used his Ice Elemental Control to build a platform of ice, standing upon it, looking down at the swarm.

A violent energy erupted around Lu Zixun.

He stood tall, his left paw shimmering with red light, his right paw with blue.

Standing beneath the platform, Xiong Kang felt particularly tormented at this moment.

Amidst the hot and cold energies lingering around him, he could only protect himself with the Alphabet Sword.

"Cold Flame Soul Mountain."

A clear, cold voice uttered from Lu Zixun’s mouth as a mountain of ice, carrying Spiritual Fire, descended from the sky.
