Chapter 1110

After the meal, Su Xiao walked out of the Zoldyck family's castle and began to stroll in the courtyard. After paying the commission, the Zoldyck family didn't keep Su Xiao waiting long.

Maha Zoldyck's appearance had no sense of mystery, nor any astonishing aura. He was just an old man wearing a loose purple robe, about 1.4 meters tall, and thin to the point of being skin and bones.

The only special thing about Maha Zoldyck was his large head. Combined with that wrinkled skin, some would believe you if you said he was an alien.

"Young man, I'm here to complete your commission."

Maha Zoldyck's figure was ragged, with his hands behind his back, and his pale lips were full of cracks.

"The Zoldyck family's efficiency is not bad."

Su Xiao drew the long blade from his waist. In the castle not far away, several pairs of eyes were closely observing the situation outside. They were the juniors of the Zoldyck family.

"For these old bones of mine, teaching you some things is fine, but as for making a move, forget it."

Maha Zoldyck's eyes were very turbid, without a trace of spirit.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, and a light red aura permeated around him.

"So young, what a pity to die. At my age, what I cherish most is life."

Although Maha Zoldyck said so, a pitch-black Nen surged out from his body.

Sensing this pitch-black Nen, which was like ink, Su Xiao felt his hair stand on end. This wasn't fear, but an instinctive warning from his intuition.

General Nen was milky white or colorless. Rarer ones were gold or purple, such as Chrollo or Feitan.

And black Nen, this was the first time Su Xiao had seen it. No matter what color Nen was, it would give people a feeling of vitality, because Nen was life energy.

The black Nen possessed by Maha Zoldyck was different. This thing had no vitality at all; it was more like representing death.

Su Xiao had a feeling that this old guy should have died long ago, but the opponent used some method to sustain his life.

Su Xiao thought of the fourth son of the Zoldyck family, Alluka Zoldyck. Perhaps it was that thing that helped Maha Zoldyck sustain his life.

Alluka Zoldyck himself wasn't terrifying. What was terrifying was another thing inside him—some unknown "creature" from the Dark Continent. The known information was that the thing was female, named Nanika, and shared a body with Alluka Zoldyck. The two were symbiotic, not parasitic.

Whoosh~

The light red aura around Su Xiao condensed, while a wisp of "black smoke" drifted from Maha Zoldyck's body. This black smoke gave people a sticky, filthy feeling.

At this moment, in the castle, the cross-dressing big shot Kalluto Zoldyck was standing at the window watching the battle.

"What is that thing?"

Kalluto's expression was a bit dull, because in his line of sight, two things of unknown origin appeared above Su Xiao and Maha Zoldyck.

Above Su Xiao seemed to be a blood-red beast with a mouth full of sharp teeth, while above Maha Zoldyck was a black skeleton, and this skeleton was still laughing.

"Hallucination?"

Kalluto rubbed his eyes. Sure enough, the beast and the skeleton both vanished.

Thud!

A loud noise spread in the courtyard, and waves of air spread around. The surrounding lawn was like being swept by a typhoon, directly lying sideways in patches.

With a crash, all the glass windows of the castle shattered. The oncoming air waves and broken glass made the cross-dressing big shot Kalluto couldn't help but retreat a few steps.

"Can't get close. Even if you are affected, you will die."

Roaring sounds constantly came from the courtyard, mud splashed, dust shrouded most of the courtyard, and light blue blade lights slashed out from the dust from time to time.

In the dust, Su Xiao stood still with his blade, with dozens of Counter Shields floating beside him. Half of the Counter Shields were covered in cracks and could shatter at any time.

Blood dripped from Su Xiao's fingertips. The injury was on his left arm, which wasn't because he suffered a direct attack from Maha Zoldyck, but because he was scratched by the opponent's Nen energy.

Maha Zoldyck was also in the dust. At this moment, he no longer looked like a human, his whole body wrapped in black Nen energy. Black Nen represented evil and death.

Su Xiao and Maha Zoldyck fought three rounds. The strength of both sides didn't reach the point of crushing. Not only that, Su Xiao could even fight Maha Zoldyck head-on, and wouldn't fall behind in a short time.

Maha Zoldyck was an Enhancement-type. He didn't use that long life to develop any astonishing moves. His fighting style was pure strength + speed, and that terrifying combat experience.

This old guy had fought for a lifetime. How could his combat experience not be rich? And the techniques he used when fighting were also very worth learning... tap, tap...

Maha Zoldyck walked toward Su Xiao. His pace wasn't fast, but he left behind phantom images one after another.

Don't think these phantom images were to deceive people. These phantom images could all be Maha Zoldyck's real body. Su Xiao was injured by this move before.

Su Xiao immediately jumped back, his movements agile.

Whoosh!

A harsh sound of wind breaking suddenly struck from in front of Su Xiao. He immediately tilted his head, and a withered fist brushed past his ear.

Puchi.

Blood splashed, and three bloodstains appeared on Su Xiao's cheek, as if scratched by a wild beast. The wound burned with pain, unbearable. The skin and flesh nearby seemed to be slowly "withering." Fortunately, Su Xiao had Qing Gang Ying energy in his body, which immediately devoured the Nen that invaded his body.

Just as Su Xiao jumped back in mid-air, Maha Zoldyck's other hand grabbed toward Su Xiao's face. The timing and angle of this grab were too perfect; there was no way to dodge it.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of Counter Shields blocked in front of Su Xiao. With a snap, the Counter Shields shattered in response. Maha Zoldyck's hand had turned into sharp claws. This was a body technique unique to the Zoldyck family.

Sharp nails touched Su Xiao's forehead, and drops of bloodstains appeared.

Just at this moment, Su Xiao suddenly vanished.

Puchi.

A spurt of blood sprayed from behind Maha Zoldyck. This old man, however, was expressionless. His arms swung backward, and with a snap, these two arms completely violated the normal physiological curve, and the shoulder position fractured.

Arms twisted to this degree would definitely hang down softly, but Maha Zoldyck's arms were very flexible. Those two hands wrapped in black Nen energy grabbed toward the long blade in Su Xiao's hand.

With a tear, Checking Zhan Long Shan cut open the outer layer of Nen energy on Maha Zoldyck's palm and scratched Maha Zoldyck's palm. Although this old guy's body was thin, it was exceptionally tough. Checking Zhan Long Shan just broke through the opponent's Nen energy and couldn't sever the opponent's hands for a while.

At this moment, Maha Zoldyck was facing away from Su Xiao. With another snap, Maha Zoldyck's neck turned 180°, directly facing Su Xiao behind him. This creepy scene often appeared in ghost movies.

Su Xiao's expression didn't change, and he kicked a side kick with a very standard posture.

Bang!

Maha Zoldyck was kicked away by Su Xiao. With Maha Zoldyck's height of 1.4 meters, this was a normal situation.

Maha Zoldyck landed in a crouch. A painful expression finally appeared on that old face. Qing Gang Ying energy was eroding his body.

Clearly, neither Su Xiao nor Maha Zoldyck were the kind of people who would hold back when fighting. Once the two started fighting, there was a high chance of one side dying.

"Father, the situation is a bit wrong."

Silva also saw that the two people in the battle were the kind of people who didn't hold back at all in battle. Sparring? It didn't exist at all.
