Chapter 1148: Buff State

The main tank in front of Su Xiao didn't hold a shield. He wore heavy armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Gravity Ring."

A light wave spread from the main tank. The speed of this light wave was so fast that it couldn't be dodged. Even if Su Xiao jumped backward immediately after discovering the momentum was wrong, he was finally shrouded in it.

Su Xiao felt heavy pressure on his shoulder. He immediately judged that this was the main tank's control method. According to the combat style of most main tanks, it should be that the further Su Xiao was from the other party

Su Xiao swung his blade. With a loud boom, a bullet was cleaved into large fragments. At the same time, a 200-point strength Counter-Shield appeared behind him, blocking a gray ghost head.

Su Xiao was nearly surrounded by contractors; there was a main tank in front, and he could be ambushed by the surrounding contractors at any moment from behind.

These surrounding contractors also realized that if they didn't get rid of Su Xiao, they wouldn't be able to touch the Chimera Ant King's corpse.

The main tank in front was a major obstacle. Su Xiao decided to finish this guy off first, so he dashed forward a few steps to engage the main tank in close quarters.

Seeing Su Xiao charging toward him, the main tank was visibly stunned, then sneered. In battles between contractors, the main tank was always the safest, as most contractors understood the survival capabilities of a main tank; avoiding the main tank during battle was always the best choice.

Su Xiao arrived before the main tank and, without a word, slashed down at his head.

The main tank instinctively ducked his head; it wasn't that he didn't want to parry with his hands, but he couldn't keep up with Su Xiao's speed.

With a *shing* sound, Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan swept over the top of the main tank's head, slicing off a piece of steel armor and a small patch of scalp.

After delivering this slash, Su Xiao felt quite surprised, as the main tank's physique was very "sturdy."

As for the main tank, he already regretted using the Gravity Ring on Su Xiao. Upon seeing the high amount of true damage and armor-ignoring damage in the combat log, the main tank's mouth hung wide open beneath his helmet.

"Ah!!"

A shrill scream rang out; this scream contained both the excruciating pain from the erosion of the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy and an element of terror.

Just as Su Xiao was about to slash at the main tank's neck, a series of prompts appeared.

【You have received the buff effect of "Courage Shout," reducing damage taken by 10%.】

【You have received the buff effect of "Divine Song," movement speed +26.】

【You have received the buff effect of "Wang Sheng," health recovery speed per minute +20; after taking damage, you will immediately recover 50 HP (cooldown 30 seconds).】

【You have received the buff effect of "Wild Blessing," weapon attack power +13, strength judgment +2, agility judgment +1.】

【You have received the buff effect of "Source of Love," reducing physical control effects by 20%.】

【You have received the buff effect of "True Love," true strength +2, true agility +2, true stamina +2.】

This series of buff effects left Su Xiao somewhat surprised.

【Prompt: The Lost Treasure Chest requires completing related missions to be notarized by the Reincarnation Paradise. The mission has failed.】

A weak female voice reached Su Xiao's ears. Upon hearing this voice, Su Xiao knew what was going on.

"This is not good!"

Old Man Shi's cheeks twitched at the edge of the battle group. Su Xiao's attack capability, which had taken out a melee fighter in two slashes earlier, had truly shocked him, and now that healer was actually starting to apply buffs to Su Xiao—this was unacceptable!

"Brother Bai Ye, your melee ability, which hasn't had resources invested in it for a long time, isn't it... a bit fake?"

Shui Xiao's voice came through the earpiece; Su Xiao ignored her.

If that soft-hearted healer girl really would heal him, then he wouldn't need to worry about ambushes from afar and could charge directly into the crowd.

"I'll give you 3 centimeters of the heart afterward."

"Okay."

The cute healer girl answered without hesitation. To reach her level, one must never hesitate when it's not the time to hesitate.

【You have received the buff effect of "Mental Amplification," 280 mana points have been restored.】

The prompt about mana restoration surprised Su Xiao even more. He hadn't expected the healer to be able to help him restore mana; this was undoubtedly good news.

Su Xiao suddenly had an idea: should he randomly pick a "lucky" healer in future derived worlds and kidnap them to use? But considering he had to carry out assassination missions and it was easy to make too many enemies, Su Xiao had to temporarily abandon this thought.

Boom!

A rocket hit the ground at Su Xiao's feet, flames engulfing him. As soon as the rocket hit, the healer hurriedly healed Su Xiao once.

Su Xiao could have completely dodged the rocket; taking the hit was just a test.

"This way, there's no problem."

The corners of Su Xiao's mouth curled up, his gaze fixed on the main tank in front. This time, Su Xiao ignored the attacks from behind—of course, with the premise that the attacks from behind didn't carry a strong sense of threat.

The long blade tore through the flames, slashing into the shoulder of the main tank who had leaped backward, forcing him down from mid-air.

With the sharpness of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, it directly broke through the main tank's pale-gold tier armor and sank into the flesh of his shoulder.

Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy surged within the main tank, causing intense pain while also dealing terrifying true damage.

Su Xiao's left arm reached out and grabbed the main tank's face.

Su Xiao exerted force in his hand. *Crack! * Cracks appeared on the armor of the main tank's face. The main tank, who weighed over 500 pounds including his armor, was lifted by Su Xiao with one hand. The main tank's hands grabbed Su Xiao's arm, his feet, already a few centimeters off the ground, kicking wildly.

Su Xiao bent his leg and delivered a knee strike to the main tank's side.

Bang!

The metal armor, a full centimeter thick, split open, showing spiderweb-like cracks. The main tank let out a whimpering scream, his body instinctively curling up, blood mixed with stomach acid spraying from his mouth, his face full of pain.

As a main tank, perhaps this was the first time he had been held by the head and kicked like this; he actually forgot to counterattack for a moment.

This was actually the weakness of team-based main tanks; they often forgot to counterattack when taking damage because the team didn't need them to counterattack at all, as long as they could hold the line. Or rather, they were used to not counterattacking. If it were a wild main tank like Wu Sa Xiong, he would have countered the enemy with two punches the moment he was hit.

After taking Su Xiao's knee strike, the main tank realized the situation. Everything around was in chaos, and his teammates' support would be slow, so he immediately raised his fists to counterattack.

Su Xiao tossed the main tank in his hand two meters high and slashed repeatedly with his long blade.

*Puchi, puchi... *

Blue slash marks crisscrossed; every strike broke armor, and blood and fragments of armor splashed everywhere.

After six slashes, the main tank fell to the ground with a thud, blood gushing from his nearly shattered chest armor. After taking a series of true damage from the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying, he had lost consciousness and became a corpse the moment he hit the ground.

Just after dealing with the main tank in front, the long blade in Su Xiao's hand blocked to his side, stopping a strangely shaped hook blade.

Sparks flew. While Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan blocked the hook blade, Su Xiao kicked out to the side.

Bang!

After a muffled scream, the enemy holding the hook blade was kicked away, the hook blade even flying out of his hand.

Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan returned to its sheath, and Su Xiao's aura suddenly became sharp.

"Ring Break."

Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan was unsheathed, and a ring-shaped blade aura spread to the surroundings.

A spray of blood appeared out of thin air; this was a contractor who had intended to sneak behind Su Xiao while invisible.

With a thud, the corpse, sliced in two, hit the ground. Ring Break didn't hurt anyone else; the reason was simple: after Su Xiao lifted the main tank and hacked him to death in a few slashes, the other contractors were already scared away.

Retreating didn't mean safety. Su Xiao stepped on the ground and instantly disappeared from where he stood.

"Control him and focus fire, otherwise we're all going to die!"

A contractor operating a mecha roared. Although he shouted this, he actually took a few steps back.

This roar clearly had an effect. Su Xiao, who had disappeared from the sight of many contractors, suddenly appeared, and an energy chain was wrapped around him.

Su Xiao's arm pulled, and with a *crack*, the energy chain shattered.

Although he was only trapped for a moment, dozens of attacks struck from all around: bullets, magic orbs, flying knives, shuriken, and even a set of dentures.
