Chapter 1086
The half-meter-thick wooden fist smashed toward Su Xiao. One could even see clear fingerprints on the fingers of this wooden fist.
The long blade in Su Xiao's hand slashed toward Senju Hashirama's throat, cold light flashing on the edge of Zhan Long Shan.
At this moment, everything around them seemed to stand still. Su Xiao and Senju Hashirama looked at each other, both of their gazes very calm.
Thud!
A loud sound capable of shattering eardrums spread out, a shockwave expanded to the surroundings, and gravel surged toward the surroundings like a tide.
Whoosh~
A figure flew out backward, crashing into a slope a hundred meters away with a rumble. It was as if explosives had been detonated on the slope, and stones of various sizes exploded toward the surroundings.
With a "whoosh," a stone the size of a soybean grazed Karin's cheek. She had originally been hiding here for refuge, never expecting disaster to fall from the sky.
Blood seeped from the tiny wound on Karin's cheek. Her body was shaking because she knew that if that stone had hit her head, it would definitely have punched a hole in it; the kinetic energy of that stone was too terrifying.
"Having taken such a terrifying punch, he should be dead, right?"
Karin swallowed her saliva. She had a secret—this secret was that she could not perceive Su Xiao. She couldn't perceive him from beginning to end unless the opponent actively released killing intent.
An arm reached out from the stone cave on the slope, and with a crash, gravel fell.
Su Xiao leaned over and walked out from the stone cave. He moved his neck left and right, emitting two crisp "crack, crack" sounds.
"So you were here. Just in time."
Su Xiao walked slowly toward Karin. Karin looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"You... you didn't die."
Karin was draped in torn clothing, her hands blocking in front of her. On the large area of fair skin exposed between her arms, one could still see a bite mark. It had to be said that Karin had truly given Su Xiao a "full-replenishment" bite earlier.
"You really wanted me to die."
Su Xiao pulled aside Karin's clothing and bit down on Karin's fair back.
Karin had already somewhat resigned herself to fate. Her mood earlier had been super conflicted. First, she didn't dare to run; if Su Xiao hadn't died, the result for her afterward would be worse than dying here.
Since she couldn't run, Karin also didn't want either Su Xiao or Senju Hashirama to win.
If Senju Hashirama won, Karin's life would be in danger. As for Su Xiao winning, if Su Xiao won without being severely injured, Karin would weep with joy. What she feared most was Su Xiao winning a pyrrhic victory and then biting her for a "full-replenishment," which would also put her life in danger.
At this moment, Karin didn't know how the situation was on Senju Hashirama's side, but to her surprise, Su Xiao wasn't severely injured.
Su Xiao's injuries recovered rapidly. A few seconds later, he was basically fine.
"Hoo~"
Su Xiao let out a long breath and sat on the ground without moving.
"Senju Hashirama... do we not need to deal with him anymore?"
Karin asked tentatively. She was squatting on the ground at this moment, draped in clothing behind her. As for her chest, she had already gotten used to being exposed in front of Su Xiao, and besides, she also knew that Su Xiao wasn't interested in her A-cups.
"He was defeated."
Su Xiao lit a cigarette. Xiang Bubu Wang ran over from afar, carrying a treasure chest in its mouth.
During the final clash between the two, before Su Xiao was smashed by Senju Hashirama's wooden fist, he had activated the Secondary Invincible Shield.
Although the Secondary Invincible Shield was shattered by Hashirama's punch, it also offset the punch's force, causing Su Xiao to be sent flying. The injuries he sustained were all impact injuries.
As for Senju Hashirama, he was not decapitated by Su Xiao. Just as the long blade in Su Xiao's hand was about to strike him, a large amount of trees grew beneath his feet, lifting him up slightly, so Su Xiao's blade slashed into Senju Hashirama's chest.
As for how Senju Hashirama was defeated, he died under the true damage of Qing Gang Ying. In this battle, 70% of the injuries Su Xiao caused to Senju Hashirama were true damage caused by Qing Gang Ying, 16% was true damage from the Demon Seal, and 10% was defense-ignoring damage from Life Severing.
Xiang Bubu Wang ran over quickly. What it was carrying in its mouth was a Legendary-grade treasure chest, not the higher-quality treasure chest Su Xiao had expected.
The Legendary-grade treasure chest Su Xiao obtained after killing the Raikage A earlier had emitted a dark golden glow throughout, while this treasure chest from Hashirama only had a very faint golden color and was somewhat pitch-black throughout.
Su Xiao took the treasure chest from Xiang Bubu Wang's mouth. His hand sank, and the treasure chest nearly fell to the ground; this thing was unexpectedly heavy.
Just as Su Xiao took the treasure chest, he saw Xiang Bubu Wang baring its teeth. By the look of it, he knew this guy's mouth was aching because the treasure chest was too heavy.
But this guy's expression earlier was definitely not like this; that look was as relaxed as could be. This was visually tricking Su Xiao—one man and one dog daily pitting each other.
Su Xiao looked at the Legendary-grade treasure chest in his hand and could judge with the naked eye that the value of this thing was simply not on the same level as the one dropped by the Raikage.
The reason Raikage A dropped a Legendary-grade treasure chest was because Su Xiao's luck had been off the charts at the time. Even so, that treasure chest was the bottom-tier existence among Legendary-grade ones.
And this one dropped by Senju Hashirama was definitely a top-tier existence among Legendary-grade ones.
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground. He took out the Fate Redemption lighter and also took out the Slaughter Dagger. He began to carve on the surface of Fate Redemption.
Very quickly, Su Xiao carved a very small "Qian" (Sen) character. The reason he did this was because he wanted to record those powerful opponents; he had started doing this a long time ago.
At this moment, on one side of Fate Redemption, seven characters had already been carved, which were:
Si (representing the first Ghoul in the history of the Ghoul world).
Chi (Akame from the Akame ga Kill world).
An (Dark King Minas from the first Trial world).
Chou (the Rule-breaker from the Hunter world, Red Clown).
Shan (Hero King Gilgamesh from the Holy Grail world).
Xi (the enemy leader from the War world, Xi).
Qian (First Hokage, Senju Hashirama).
Recording these things was originally just Su Xiao's habit, but afterward, some magical things happened.
Su Xiao had a feeling in the dark that when Fate Redemption was covered in characters, this piece of equipment might undergo an extraordinary change.
When Su Xiao defeated an enemy, Fate Redemption would absorb the opponent's Power of Luck. After carving the "An" character, Su Xiao vaguely discovered that a portion of the Dark King's Power of Luck seemed to have entered this "An" character. At the time, he thought it was an illusion, but after carving the "Shan" character, this feeling was already very obvious.
The "Qian" character on Fate Redemption had just been carved when golden light flashed on it, then faded away. The attributes of Fate Redemption did not show the slightest change.
Su Xiao didn't care; if it works, it works, and if it doesn't, he'd just treat it as a record—a record of the powerful people he had defeated. Some of them were villains, some were madmen, some were good people, and some were heroes, but these people all had one thing in common: they were all respectable opponents.
Setting aside their personalities, these people who could become strong through their own efforts naturally had their unique points. Taking the strengths of others to make up for one's own weaknesses was something Su Xiao often did.
