Chapter 1195: Undead

~8 min read 1,492 words

A strong bloody smell permeated the room. A scream came. It was a woman about 20 years old. She happened to pass by. This should be a 'flowering mandarin duck' (prostitute) in the selling gold kiln.

The Undead race squatting on the chandelier tensed her body. Her height was about 1.4 meters. She wrapped gray-white bandages on her hands, each holding a long dagger, and the cold light flickered.

It was very clear that this Undead race didn't want to alarm too many people. After all, this was the royal capital of the Holy Sodin Kingdom.

"Shh."

Su Xiao put his index finger in front of his mouth, signaling the prostitute to stop screaming and go back where she came from. But the prostitute still screamed, with a very high decibel, clearly stimulated by the corpse on the ground.

Su Xiao buckled a pebble from the wall, his palm gripped, and his thumb pressed on the pebble.

With a 'bang', the pebble was ejected, breaking through a layer of air and flying toward the prostitute.

Pop!

Shattered skull and brain matter splattered on the wall, and the prostitute whose head was pierced fell to the ground with a 'thump'.

"So noisy."

Su Xiao's gaze looked at the Undead race standing dumbfounded in place.

"She... is not, your... kind."

The Undead race spoke, her voice leaning toward female, and the human language she mastered was very raw.

"I gave her a chance, so... next is you."

The Dragon Flash in Su Xiao's hand was unsheathed, and his aura became sharper.

That Undead race clenched her hands, and green energy surged on the two long daggers in her hands. Blinding green energy wrapped the two long daggers inside.

The ground under Su Xiao's feet appeared in large swaths of cracks. He fought the Undead race for the first time, and judging from the current situation, the other party was still a special individual among the Undead race, just like a Holy Warrior among humans.

The Apostle's Eye floated above Su Xiao's head. He habitually used the Apostle's Eye to scout the enemy's information, which could give him a great advantage before the battle. Just like the battle against Joseph Ke, Su Xiao learned from the data that the other party's Holy Power had deadly poison, which was very important information.

【Comparing both parties' Intelligence attributes... Comparison complete. Our side's Intelligence attribute is 0.97 times that of the enemy. Obtained 89% of the enemy's data.】

Skill 6, Dagger Throwing Mastery (Passive lv. 46), increases dagger-type weapon attack power by 75%, damage when throwing increased by 98%, dagger-type weapon usage proficiency significantly increased.

Skill 7,???

Seeing the data of Undead Power (Passive lv. 36), Su Xiao vaguely had a sense of familiarity. This ability was somewhat similar to his Qing Gang Ying ability, but the nature of the two was different.

Qing Gang Ying devoured the energy in the enemy's body and caused true damage, while Undead Power formed a repulsive reaction with the energy in the enemy's body, thereby causing damage within the enemy's body.

Seeing this ability similar to Qing Gang Ying, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed. He thought of a possibility, which was whether the inspiration for this ability of Undead Power was inspired by Qing Gang Ying ability to some extent?

In Su Xiao's view, Undead Power was not a copycat version of Qing Gang Ying ability, but a new ability developed after being inspired by Qing Gang Ying ability.

Noticing this point, Su Xiao's confidence in finding the ruins of the Shadow of Exterminating Law increased a lot. At least he already knew that the ruins of the Shadow of Exterminating Law existed, and the Undead had reached there.

Before, when Su Xiao fought with Holy Warriors, he felt strange. Why did those guys release all energy outside their bodies? One must know that this was a very rare and very impractical fighting style.

However, it was this impractical fighting style that restrained Qing Gang Ying energy. In fact, Holy Warriors were not to guard against the Shadow of Ex

"It seems your value is higher than I anticipated."

Su Xiao looked at Yierduo, who was crouching on the chandelier. This creature was nine times out of ten a female Necromancer. Necromancers certainly had distinctions between male and female; their method of reproduction was exactly the same as humans, otherwise, there would be no such thing as half-breeds.

Su Xiao had originally intended to capture this female Necromancer alive to learn from her who was behind the order to kill the little princess.

After discovering Yierduo's "Necrotic Power" ability, Su Xiao's desire to capture her alive became even stronger. According to his speculation, this ability was not a complete imitation of his Qing Gang Ying energy, but rather a secondary creation inspired by it.

As the saying goes, "Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one." If he carefully studied this Necrotic Power, it might provide significant inspiration for his Qing Gang Ying ability.

This idea was very tempting, but the Necromancer Yierduo was definitely not easy to capture alive. Judging by her physique, weapons, and attributes, she was nine times out of ten an Agility-type. While she was weaker than Su Xiao in terms of strength and damage resistance, she had no obvious weaknesses—unlike Joseph Ke, who was essentially waiting for death once closed in upon.

The air in the room seemed to be on the verge of freezing. Neither Su Xiao nor Yierduo moved; Su Xiao was waiting for her to reveal a flaw, while Yierduo dared not act rashly.

Yierduo had originally thought Su Xiao was merely a high-ranking official of the Saint Sodin Kingdom. Although the intelligence noted he was powerful, Su Xiao was not a Saint Warrior, so Yierduo had held a dismissive attitude toward him before arriving here.

Yet, after locking eyes with Su Xiao for a few seconds, Yierduo's naturally keen intuition made her sense that something was wrong, even giving her the urge to make a strategic retreat.

Both sides began a silent standoff: one minute, two minutes, five minutes...

"You should have heard the name Rowan Harvey, right?"

Su Xiao broke the silence. He had unexpectedly changed his usual combat style; in the past, he would always act rather than talk, but he spoke this time because he wanted to capture her alive.

Do not think that capturing someone alive is a gentle method. For the Necromancer Yierduo, being captured alive was certainly a hundred times more terrifying than being killed on the spot.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Yierduo's slender brows beneath her mask furrowed. Of course, she knew who Rowan Harvey was; Rowan Harvey had left the royal capital under her protection.

"That old guy escaped quickly, but my personal friendship with him is quite good, and we often exchanged secret letters. If you are his subordinate, I can let you leave today, just to repay a certain favor I owe that old guy."

Su Xiao was completely bullshitting; his relationship with Rowan Harvey was merely one of mutual exploitation.

"..."

Yierduo remained silent.

"Forget it, let's just consider this repaying that old guy a favor. Give this to him, and from now on, we'll be even."

Su Xiao took an object out of his storage space, pulled the ring, and tossed it to Yierduo.

Yierduo stared at the object flying through the air. It didn't give her a sense of crisis, but the possibility that it contained deadly poison could not be ruled out. Therefore, Yierduo had no intention of catching it and, in fact, wanted to stay far away.

What Yierduo did not know was that Su Xiao did not need her to catch the object in mid-air at all; she only needed to stare at it. As long as this Necromancer girl wasn't mentally challenged, the probability of her reaching out to catch that object in mid-air was zero; she wouldn't even let it get within a few meters of her.

Yierduo did indeed do just that. Unfortunately, the object in mid-air was called a Magnetic Core Light Burst Bomb; it had no direct lethality, but would emit a blinding light upon explosion.
