Chapter 1197

Three minutes later.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

As Yierduo coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, her breathing became increasingly rapid. At this moment, her chest cavity felt like it was on fire, and her internal organs seemed to be burning.

Blood trickled from the lower edge of her mask, and Yierduo was already struggling to stand steady.

"Nobanite (Necromancer language: Still a chance)."

Although Yierduo's actual combat experience was not rich, her willpower was very tenacious. More importantly, she only needed to stall Su Xiao for a period of time; it wouldn't be long before someone came to support her. She had not infiltrated the royal capital alone.

It stands to reason; for a Necromancer like her who had powerful combat strength but not-so-rich actual combat experience, it was impossible to infiltrate the royal capital alone. The real main force was her teacher, Executioner Dunknik, who was a Necromancer with terrifyingly powerful strength.

However, Yierduo no longer had a chance. If Su Xiao hadn't been certain he could capture Yierduo alive, he would never have put away Zhan Long Shan.

Hum~

The high-load kinetic boots were covered in crimson stripes. Su Xiao leaned over and kicked sideways. Yierduo's left arm and leg curled up, trying her best to protect her torso. As for the two daggers in her hands, they had been kicked away by Su Xiao 36 seconds ago.

Yierduo flew to one side, hitting the wall with a "bang," causing a large dent. Due to inertia, Yierduo's body bounced out of the crater.

Just as Yierduo was in mid-air, Su Xiao had already appeared behind her, his right fist clenched, smashing it into Yierduo's spine.

Bang.

Yierduo flew forward. She had been hit by Su Xiao almost continuously for three minutes, which caused her consciousness to gradually blur, and the piercing pain throughout her body to fade.

In fact, even if she hadn't been hit by the flashbang earlier, it would have been basically impossible for her to defeat Su Xiao. That was a gap in strength and experience, an insurmountable gap. Or rather, if Su Xiao had used his blade, whether she could still be alive now would be unknown.

If Yierduo were to fight Joseph Ke, Joseph Ke's win rate would be 70%.

The greatest difficulty in Su Xiao's battle with Yierduo was that he had to capture her alive; otherwise, the battle would have ended long ago.

With a "thud," Yierduo fell to the ground. The lower half of the mask on her face shattered, revealing a pointed chin and the grayish-white skin unique to the Necromancer race.

"I... haven't... lost... yet."

Green light flickered on Yierduo's body; this was clearly her preparing to unleash her "ultimate move." However, in the next moment, a black shadow headed straight for her head.

Bang!

Su Xiao kicked Yierduo in the head, kicking the "ultimate move" she had been building up right back into her.

After crashing through two walls, Yierduo tumbled into a wardrobe. This time, she was clearly much more obedient.

Su Xiao walked through the hole in the wall into the room where Yierduo was, blood dripping from his fingertips.

Su Xiao saw an arm wrapped in bandages amidst a pile of clothing. He grabbed that arm and dragged Yierduo out from the clothes.

Yierduo's body hung limply, her eyes tightly closed, her head lolling helplessly to one side. Just at this moment, her emerald eyes snapped open.

"Ptooey!"

Yierduo aimed and spat at Su Xiao's face. She wasn't spitting saliva, but a metal nail she had been holding in her mouth.

With a "ding," the metal nail pierced into a 150-strength energy shield, getting stuck in it.

Seeing this pale blue energy shield, Yierduo's pupils contracted rapidly.

"Oh? It seems you recognize this?"

Su Xiao examined Yierduo with interest.

"Proud Song... it can't be blue."

Yierduo murmured. Hearing this, Su Xiao smiled, but in Yierduo's eyes, Su Xiao's smile was as terrifying as it could be.

"Proud Song has always been blue."

Su Xiao released Yierduo's arm, and as her body fell, he aimed a punch at her jaw. This area was distributed with a large number of blood vessels and nerves; suffering a heavy blow here would lead to unconsciousness.

Bang! Yierduo's vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

"Even knowing the name 'Proud Song,' it seems the Necromancers have some understanding of the Shadow of Law Destruction."

Su Xiao carried the unconscious Yierduo on his shoulder, her red cape hanging over his chest, and he walked out of the building.

Su Xiao had successfully captured Yierduo alive. Of course, he wouldn't hand her over to the royal family; if he did that, he would get nothing. He captured Yierduo not just to get clues for the hidden side mission; if he could directly ask where the ruins of the Shadow of Law Destruction were, that would be an even greater harvest.

Su Xiao had three goals in this world, and everything he was doing now was to complete these three things.

The first was to complete the main mission; the rewards for this main mission were too tempting.

The second was to find the ruins of the Shadow of Law Destruction; that would be a huge gain for Su Xiao.

The third thing was to complete the adventure group's promotion. So far, the adventure group promotion mission had not been released, so he needed to continue waiting.

What Su Xiao was doing now was completing the first and second tasks.

Three hours later, at the Iron Hand mansion, in a semi-enclosed basement.

This basement was originally used to store fruits and vegetables, but because of its good soundproofing, it had been converted into an interrogation room by the previous Iron Hand.

For a position like Iron Hand, interrogation was a daily routine, so this interrogation room was filled with a large number of interrogation tools, some of which Su Xiao had never even seen before.

The Necromancer girl Yierduo was tied to an X-shaped iron frame, her head hanging low, appearing to have lost consciousness. In fact, she had woken up ten minutes ago.

At this moment, Su Xiao was sitting on a wooden chair, right across from Yierduo, holding a tablet computer and engrossed in a game.

"I know you're already awake."

Su Xiao spoke suddenly. Yierduo's eyelids twitched. Su Xiao's hand, which was operating the tablet, paused. That sentence, "I know you're already awake," was something he repeated every hour or so. Waking an enemy like this would create immense psychological pressure on them.

Su Xiao rarely used instruments to torture enemies; he was better at destroying their mental defenses, as the information obtained this way was more accurate.

Blindly inflicting physical pain would only lead to the enemy's collapse, and the credibility of information obtained in a collapsed state was not high.

"That old guy should be coming to save you soon. I left traces along the way—traces that are very hard to find."

Su Xiao continued to operate the tablet; he didn't seem to be interrogating Yierduo at all, but rather chatting. As for the "old guy" he mentioned, that was entirely his own speculation.

With Yierduo's combat level, would the Necromancers send only her to infiltrate the royal capital? Of course not. Yierduo was an excellent warrior, very strong, and young enough to handle important missions in her current state.

But this assassination of the old king was too important, so the Necromancers would definitely send an experienced Necromancer warrior. Yierduo should have been just one of them, responsible for cleanup or silencing witnesses, and not directly involved in the mission to assassinate the old king.

"You..."

Yierduo gritted her teeth, revealing her clean, flat teeth and four canines.

"Without you as bait, that old guy would never take the hook."

"Shameless!"

Yierduo growled. Her human language was still not fluent.

Su Xiao's expression remained unchanged, his fingers tapping quickly on the tablet screen. He wasn't playing a game, but recording something.

"Shameless? Then let me tell you something even more shameless: if that old guy really comes to save you, he will definitely die here."

Su Xiao's tone was very flat.

"Master..."

Yierduo immediately realized something and forcibly held back the words she wanted to roar out.

Su Xiao was recording keywords on the tablet: Master, male Necromancer, age between 40 and 60, extremely strong, weapon preference leans toward long daggers or short blades.

"Yierduo, I haven't seen your master in a long time. He is indeed very strong, but this time I've prepared a big gift for him."

Hearing the name "Yierduo" from Su Xiao, the Necromancer girl's mouth opened slightly, and her pupils contracted. Except for her grayish-white skin, her appearance was not much different from a human girl, but she was only about 1.4 meters tall, and her two ears were very pointed.

"You, you..."

Clearly, Yierduo was panicked. She could be certain that she had never met this Iron Hand in her entire life.

Boom!

A loud noise came from above, followed by a large amount of noise and muffled sounds.

In the Iron Hand courtyard, Amu, with a remote-controlled brain collar around his neck, was pounding the ground, surrounded by a group of guards "shouting to kill," the "momentum was astonishing."

Twenty minutes later, two blood-covered Imperial Guards walked into the basement interrogation room.

"My lord, he escaped, but he is already severely injured, and we are sending people to pursue him."

The two Imperial Guards left the interrogation room after speaking. Su Xiao had been sitting on that wooden chair from beginning to end. This Necromancer girl's willpower was very firm; getting information out of her was definitely not something that could be done with words alone.

"That old guy is indeed very strong, actually breaking through the defensive line."

Su Xiao's expression had no fluctuations, but Yierduo felt a quiet sigh of relief in her heart. Although she was completely confused now, Su Xiao calling her name directly really shocked her, because only three Necromancers in the entire royal capital knew her name.

"But this time he's a dead man. I brought ten Saint Warriors with strength similar to mine. After all, the opponent is Executioner Dunknik; I have to be cautious."

Su Xiao looked at Yierduo for the first time. Information is power. He had previously collected a lot of data on powerful Necromancers. There were three who fit the criteria of being male, aged 40-60, and using dagger-type weapons. Two of them were not very strong and were unlikely to have taught a disciple like Yierduo.

Yierduo's mouth opened and closed; she had no idea what to say, but she could be certain of one thing: there must be a traitor among them.

Yierduo did not yet realize that the word "Master" she had shouted earlier had provided Su Xiao with this series of key intelligence.

"See you next time. Perhaps next time I come here, I will bring 'Dunknik's' head."

Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the basement interrogation room. From beginning to end, he had not asked Yierduo for any information; it was not yet the time.

Judging from the current situation, he shouldn't be far from completing the hidden side mission. Perhaps Executioner Dunknik was the mastermind behind the scenes? It wasn't that there was no such possibility; on the contrary, this possibility was very high.

Sure enough, deduction was not something Su Xiao was good at. Directly kidnapping an enemy and interrogating them was the most effective and fastest method. That complicated murder case had given Su Xiao a headache, but now it was much simpler. As long as he could pry Yierduo's mouth open, everything would be fine.

Moreover, leaving Yierduo's trail for her master was not just empty talk. Even if the opponent was truly very powerful, Su Xiao was not afraid at all; his "Demon Hunter Moment" had already accumulated enough mana and could be used at any time.

It's troublesome when you beat the small one and the old one comes, so after beating the small one, Su Xiao directly lured the old one out to kill him.
