Su Xiao looked at the enemy who had fallen not far away. He didn’t rush forward. Judging by the Purple Quality shield in the opponent’s hand, the opponent must be the Main Tank.
Instantly killing a Main Tank is no longer possible at this stage, even the sniper Bee wasn’t instantly killed by him.
Inserting Dragon Slash beside him, Su Xiao drew out the Black and White Guns.
The berserk shooting began, and Cold Moon immediately retaliated, slashing a Wind Blade with his sword.
Su Xiao sidestepped to dodge the Wind Blade while aiming the gun barrel at Cold Moon.
The bullets poured out, and Cold Moon held the Stabbing Sword in front of him, unveiling a Wind Screen to block all the bullets.
After enduring over a dozen bullets, cracks appeared on the Wind Screen constructed by Cold Moon.
Lorna pressed one hand to her knee, her severed foot already reattached, healing quickly with Candy’s skill.
"I can’t hold on any longer."
The Wind Screen created by Cold Moon shattered, bullets came straight for him, his pupils shrank, beginning to track the bullets’ trajectories.
Clink, clink, clink...
Many bullets were deflected by Cold Moon, but occasionally a burst of blood would erupt from him.
Su Xiao suddenly stopped shooting.
"Impressive sword skills."
Sheathing the Black and White Guns, Su Xiao drew out Dragon Slash beside him.
He kicked off the ground, grass clippings flew, and Su Xiao charged towards Cold Moon and company from above, gliding low.
"Almost ready, help me buy some time."
Lorna shouted, Cold Moon nodded. Blood Rose did not charge alongside Cold Moon; instead, she blocked Su Xiao’s path towards Candy.
It was evident that the Other Shore Flower Adventure Group had grown significantly, both in tactics and strength.
Su Xiao charged at Cold Moon like a hunting falcon.
Cold Moon extended his arms straight to the ground, with two Stabbing Swords emitting a silver light.
Just three meters away from Cold Moon, Su Xiao’s diving body began to descend.
The corner of Cold Moon’s mouth lifted, sensing an opportunity as he landed.
As Su Xiao was about to land, Cold Moon’s Dual Stinger Sword slashed in a scissor-like motion. If it struck, Su Xiao would be sliced in two.
Su Xiao halted his descent, planting Dragon Slash into the soil, one hand supporting the handle’s end, his body at least a meter off the ground. Fınd the newest release on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
This rendered Cold Moon’s slash awkward, as it neither hit Su Xiao nor avoided being blocked by Dragon Slash.
The two Stabbing Swords struck Dragon Slash’s blade, sparks flying.
Suspended mid-air, Su Xiao did not idle, delivering a straight kick to Cold Moon’s throat.
Cold Moon flew down the hillside, blood spurting from his mouth, but it wasn’t over. As Su Xiao landed, he pulled Dragon Slash from the soil, muscles bulging, and hurled it with all his might.
Dragon Slash spun rapidly in the air, forming a wheel of blades, gleaming coldly.
Flying through the air, Cold Moon suddenly felt his shoulder go numb before tumbling to the ground, head spinning.
A slender arm fell to the ground, clutching a Stabbing Sword in its severed grip.
Dragon Slash embedded itself near the severed limb, Su Xiao in the distance made a pulling motion, and Dragon Slash suddenly flew up.
Retrieving Boundary Line, he had bound it to Dragon Slash’s handle earlier; otherwise, he wouldn’t use such a technique as throwing his sword.
Cold Moon stood, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She instinctively raised her left arm, but the familiar sensation of lifting it was absent.
Cold Moon glanced sideways, stunned to find her arm missing.
For several seconds after being severed, the absence of pain is due to adrenaline released in battle. When nerves are severed, numbness is the first sensation, not pain.
The agony invaded Cold Moon, with no wound pain yet to surface, the pain from Blue Steel Shadow Energy hit first.
Fine blood vessels throbbed on Cold Moon’s forehead, and her body began to tremble lightly.
Lorna’s injuries healed, she rushed forward, positioning herself in front of Cold Moon, speaking softly, "Cold Moon."
Cold Moon turned her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Let’s scatter and escape."
Lorna’s words made Cold Moon reluctant; it implied their inevitable defeat.
It’s no surprise Lorna spoke this way. Though the battle with Su Xiao was brief, she sensed an overwhelming disparity, as though he possessed no discernible weakness.
"No need, this guy’s a frail, high-damage close combat fighter, very brittle."
From previous clashes with Su Xiao, sniper shots could easily pierce him, and he was gravely injured after the Other Shore Flower’s defeat.
Cold Moon wasn’t sure, as several Derivative Worlds had passed.
Lorna had doubts about Su Xiao being fragile; he didn’t give off a frail impression. Although his physique lacked visible muscle, she felt he wasn’t brittle at all.
Lorna’s assumption was accurate. With 44 points in Physical attributes + Spirit Shadow Physique’s Life Value boost + Lan Kai Windcoat’s defensive power, Su Xiao was anything but fragile.
However, Lorna’s Physical attributes were at 47 points, surpassing Su Xiao by 3 points.
Lorna’s survival ability differed from Su Xiao’s. She wielded a shield and had several Defense Skills.
Su Xiao walked slowly down the slope, as Cold Moon’s group of four gradually huddled together, seemingly encircled by Su Xiao.
"Was it you who showed killing intent on the plane? If my intuition isn’t wrong, there were six who showed intent. Where’s your other companion?"
Flicking the blood off Dragon Slash, Su Xiao didn’t directly address them. He was searching for the Contractor aware of his identity, coincidentally encountering Cold Moon and company.
Be aware, no Contractor would venture toward the Red Soil Area’s center, sensing the ominous aura it exuded. Su Xiao wouldn’t approach without necessity.
"Looks like you have many enemies."
Cold Moon implied they numbered only five.
Su Xiao fell silent, his gaze fixed on them, prepared for combat without further words.
"Prepare to fight, Lorna in the center, Rose on the left, me on the right, Candy hide. If there’s a chance, control this guy immediately for a focused attack."
As Cold Moon finished speaking, she was surprised to see Blood Rose retreating.
Blood Rose hung her head, silent.
An explosive sound came from the front. Cold Moon had no time for Blood Rose, advancing with Lorna.
Lorna charged forward, with Cold Moon following closely.
Su Xiao reached the two and opted not to slash at Lorna’s shield. The Purple Quality shield appeared exceptionally solid, with signs of enhancement.
Lorna roared, and a golden ripple spread out.
[You are affected by the War Roar’s taunt effect, Physical attributes check underway.]
[Check passed, you are immune to this Control.]
After using the War Roar skill, Lorna instinctively retreated two steps, a habitual action; normally upon taunting, the enemy charges thoughtlessly, retreating lets them cover more ground, giving Lorna’s allies ample preparation time.
As Lorna retreated, Su Xiao slashed at Cold Moon.
Long Knife clashed with Fine Sword, Lorna beside them looking utterly shocked.
