Chapter 1129: Assassination

Su Xiao pulled the bolt of the Duke of Silence. Through the scope, he observed the contractors one kilometer away. These people clearly had no intention of swarming up.

"Actually not coming to besiege the sniper. Tier 3 contractors are clearly more cautious."

Su Xiao ejected the bullet casing from the chamber. The hot bullet casing fell, carrying a wisp of blue smoke.

*Cling~*

The bullet casing landed. Just at the moment the bullet casing landed, a short blade suddenly appeared at the back of Su Xiao's head.

The bright blade tip pressed straight toward the back of Su Xiao's head. This blade appeared too abruptly, without any omen.

*Crack! * The blade tip stopped in front of the back of Su Xiao's head. A counter-attack shield with 500 points of intensity blocked behind Su Xiao, and that short blade that struck actually pierced through the counter-attack shield.

The person's blade had been brewing for who knew how long. This blade was not only quenched with poison, but also added five skill effects, which were: Backstab, Shadow Blade, Vital Point Penetration, Fatal Strike, Hand of Death.

This blade piercing through the 500-point intensity counter-attack shield was not an exaggeration, because the person's full strength had erupted in this blade. This blade was stabbed with the effort to kill Su Xiao in seconds—of course, this was under the premise that Su Xiao was a sniper.

*Crack! *

Large patches of cracks appeared on the energy shield. Su Xiao tilted his head to look at the short blade that was tightly pressed against his cheek. The short blade was quenched with green toxin. Five minutes ago, his intuition ability had vaguely sensed someone approaching, only this feeling was very faint, and it was there sometimes and not others.

The person failed to kill Su Xiao in seconds, and the scene was abnormally awkward.

*Sizzle~*

The metal wires contracted. Su Xiao had already buried the Boundary Breaking Line behind him. Even his intuition ability couldn't completely capture the other party's tracks, which showed that the person's concealment ability was extremely strong. 90% or more was an assassin.

The Boundary Breaking Line entangled a physical entity. Su Xiao pulled the Boundary Breaking Line, and that "entity" that was entangled appeared. This was a figure wearing a black cloak, a hood, and a slender figure.

The World Severing Line tightened into the target's body, but no blood sprayed out; the figure of the person who had arrived began to distort and soon dissipated into the air.

According to Su Xiao's experience, this was a type of substitute ability. The real person definitely hadn't gone far, and the specific location was temporarily unknown.

Su Xiao's hand pressed on the Duke of Silence, and the Duke of Silence was put into the storage space.

Su Xiao neither took out Checking Zhan Long Shan nor erupted his aura. Instead, he took out the Hunter Demon Gun, which leaned toward melee. This was the most instinctive reaction of a sniper after being approached—hmm, at least most snipers were like this.

Su Xiao's expression was extremely "ugly." Not far away, Amu roared and "regardless of everything" rushed toward Su Xiao. Su Xiao also rushed toward Amu, striving to "meet" as soon as possible.

Ten-plus meters away from Su Xiao, that figure wearing a black robe was in an alien space. Her concealment ability was not invisibility, but entering an alien space. Each time entering an alien space would have a delay of about 3 seconds, and it would cause her speed to decline significantly, so this ability could only be used as a high-level invisibility-type skill and could not be used in melee combat.

Under the black hood was a somewhat pale, beautiful face with black eyeshadow. This female assassin's appearance could only be considered upper-middle, but she had a unique temperament. There was no perfume smell on her, only a faint bloody smell.

"Do you think I'm a fool? That cow's acting is too bad."

Cold sweat dripped down the female assassin's fair chin. Just at the moment her short blade stabbed toward Su Xiao before, she sensed an extremely terrifying aura. That kind of feeling didn't look like she was assassinating a sniper who wasn't good at melee combat at all.

Outside, Amu was still running wildly toward Su Xiao, but Su Xiao's pace stopped.

"Amu, the acting is too bad."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Amu's pace slowed down, and it finally stopped ten-plus meters away. It scratched its head.

"I'm hungry."

"Endure it."

Su Xiao's gaze scanned the surroundings. He was judging what type of invisibility ability the other party had. If it was light refraction or shadow system, it would be relatively easy to deal with. If it was sensing shielding, or forcibly shielding one's own existence, it would be very difficult to deal with. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was the latter type; it could blend into the surrounding environment and completely shield its own sense of existence.

Of course, it didn't exclude that the enemy was a space-type invisibility ability. This type of invisibility system was also very difficult to deal with. They wouldn't completely enter the alien space, but were in the crack between two spaces. Unlike Obito's Sharingan ability, and also unlike Su Xiao's space-piercing ability.

"Haven't gone far, or rather, doesn't dare to move."

Su Xiao's gaze gradually became sharp. He continued to look around, and the faint crisis feeling from his intuition was still there, showing that the enemy hadn't left yet.

Checking Zhan Long Shan in the scabbard appeared in Su Xiao's hand.

Clang.

The long blade left the scabbard, emitting a crisp blade sound.

Boom!

A blood-red aura erupted with Su Xiao as the center point. The surrounding withered grass flew, and fine shattered stones splashed.

The aura swept past and stopped after spreading out 30 meters. Unfortunately, it didn't affect anyone, which showed that the enemy's concealment ability was not light refraction or shadow system.

Golden light flashed on Su Xiao's cuffs, and black tadpole patterns climbed toward the surroundings. This was the primary space imprisonment ability, which could seal space fluctuations within fifty meters. Space-type skills below Tier 5 in this area would be suppressed, and the effect would last for 30 minutes.

After sealing the surrounding space, Su Xiao observed the surroundings again, and there was still nothing abnormal.

"Xiang Bubu."

Just as Su Xiao finished speaking, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared beside him. In fact, Xiang Bubu had been squatting here all along.

"Is it existence shielding type?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was this type of ability, so it had a certain resistance to this type of concealment ability. If the enemy was really this type, it could vaguely sense the other party's existence.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shook its head, indicating that it couldn't sense the other party at all.

"Amu, clear the field."

Su Xiao looked one kilometer away, where those contractors stopped again to watch the excitement.

At this moment, the bald leader's heart was "relieved." He had thought more than once about besieging that sniper, until... after that sniper took out a long blade that was at least gold quality and erupted with a terrifying aura, he felt lucky for not rushing forward before. That old schemer in the distance was not a sniper at all. The other party had an 80% or more possibility of being a melee fighter, and long-range sniping was very likely to fill the deficiency of a lone wolf.

After the bald leader discovered Amu's movement, he didn't hesitate anymore and immediately led people to retreat. Continuing to stay here was no different from courting death.

The bald leader led people to run away, and Amu certainly wouldn't continue to pursue. It returned to Su Xiao's vicinity again.

Su Xiao sat on a huge rock. He could determine that the assassin was still nearby. The other party's concealment means didn't know what type it was.

The current situation was that the female assassin couldn't run, and as for appearing, don't joke. She was good at assassination. If she fought Su Xiao in melee, Su Xiao could hang her up and whip her. u ===== CHAPTER 1130 =====
