Chapter 1227: Pressed against the wall

~8 min read 1,500 words

Although Long Saber User · Kong looked abnormally burly, and the long-handled saber in its hand danced with tiger-like wind, and each slash produced saber qi, the attack range was very wide, but it was very afraid of being approached.

One could tell from Long Saber User · Kong's various abilities that it was a cavalryman. If it rode a warhorse, the lethality it erupted would definitely not be low. Unfortunately, it didn't have the chance to ride a warhorse, or rather, Su Xiao wouldn't give it time to summon a Necrotic horse at all.

Just after kicking Long Saber User · Kong flying, Su Xiao lowered his body's center of gravity, and spider-web-shaped cracks appeared on the stone platform beneath his feet.

Boom!

The stone platform shattered, and a black afterimage rushed toward Long Saber User · Kong.

Clang.

The person hadn't arrived, but the saber light arrived first.

Long Saber User · Kong was intending to stand up. The light blue saber light rushed toward its face. Its combat instinct made it raise the long-handled saber in its hand.

A crisp sound spread. Long Saber User · Kong, who hadn't stood firm, bore the impact of the saber light. Its body, which was four meters tall, hit the wall with a bang.

The green light in Long Saber User · Kong's eyes dimmed a bit. It seemed to have pain, but the pain wasn't intense, so it immediately set up a posture, preparing to meet Su Xiao who was rushing over at high speed.

Almost the moment Long Saber User · Kong stood firm, Su Xiao had already appeared in front of it, slashing down with the long sword in his hand.

Long Saber User · Kong didn't say a word. The language it spoke wasn't human language or Necrotic language. Su Xiao only mastered human language and the language of the Undead race, so he couldn't understand what Long Saber User · Kong said before at all.

Ding.

The Dragon Flash collided with the long-handled saber, and metal fragments flew. Facing the sharp Dragon Flash, the weapon in Long Saber User · Kong's hand clearly couldn't support it. Although it wouldn't be cut off in a short time, if they fought fiercely for a while, the long-handled saber in its hand would sooner or later be cut off.

Long Saber User · Kong leaned tightly against the wall, and the wall behind it appeared in large areas of cracks due to the impact. In terms of strength comparison, it was clearly weaker than Su Xiao.

Su Xiao was in a high-speed charge when he slashed this sword, and he was in mid-air. This sword borrowed all the inertia of his charge. According to normal circumstances, he would definitely be pushed flying by the enemy.

Just when Su Xiao was about to be pushed flying, his arched body stretched out, and he kicked Long Saber User · Kong in the chest with a straight kick.

With a muffled bang, Long Saber User · Kong was almost half-embedded into the stone wall, while Su Xiao borrowed the reaction force of the straight kick to leap backward, and at the same time, his gaze looked around.

There was nothing unusual about the situation around. Su Xiao's fingers were tightly buckled, and the Boundary Breaking Line at his wrist popped out. The hook at the tip of the Boundary Breaking Line nailed into the ground, and he immediately tightened the Boundary Breaking Line.

Zzz~

Su Xiao, who was originally leaping backward, was pulled from mid-air by the Boundary Breaking Line, landing quickly.

Su Xiao landed in a half-squatting posture, his gaze fixed on Long Saber User · Kong. This series of actions of his looked very long, but in fact, it only happened in a flash of lightning.

In the sight of others, Su Xiao first stepped on the stone platform and rushed toward Long Saber User · Kong, then slashed at the other party with a sword. Long Saber User · Kong just used the long-handled saber to block the Dragon Flash, and Su Xiao kicked the other party in the chest with a straight kick.

Borrowing the reaction force of the straight kick, Su Xiao leaped backward. While in mid-air, he used the Boundary Breaking Line to pull himself from mid-air to accelerate the landing speed.

When Su Xiao half-squatted on the ground, Long Saber User · Kong was still leaning against the stone wall. Because its chest suffered heavy damage, its arms were uncontrollably stretched to both sides, and its guard was wide open. 【1227-

Using the recoil from his straight kick, Su Xiao leaped backward. While in mid-air, he used the Boundary Line to pull himself down, accelerating his landing speed.

As Su Xiao landed in a half-squat, the Longblade User·Kong was still leaning against the stone wall. Due to the heavy trauma to its chest, its arms were uncontrollably splayed to the sides, leaving its guard wide open.

As soon as Su Xiao landed, he charged forward again, his long blade slashing horizontally.

Puchi.

Blood splattered. Although the Longblade User·Kong did not look like a living creature, its blood was red—a color full of vitality.

A blade wound at least ten centimeters deep spanned the chest of the Longblade User·Kong. Several of its ribs were severed. While the injury was indeed severe, it had not damaged any vital organs.

Although the Longblade User·Kong was being kicked and slashed against the wall by Su Xiao, its body was extremely resilient. After all, it possessed the 'Lord Authority (Passive Lv. 30)' ability; unless struck in a vital spot, it was impossible to end the battle in just a few slashes.

The Longblade User·Kong was different from Dunke·Nike. Although Dunke·Nike's strength was greater, in terms of damage resistance, Dunke·Nike was far inferior to the Longblade User·Kong. This was a difference in physique and combat style.

If the Longblade User·Kong were to fight Dunke·Nike, the one to die would definitely be the Longblade User·Kong; this was beyond doubt.

Just as Su Xiao slashed open the chest of the Longblade User·Kong, he turned his long blade and slashed back toward its throat. The Longblade User·Kong immediately held its long-handled blade vertically.

Zhila~

The blades scraped against each other, emitting a harsh sound like glass being scratched. Although the long-handled blade in the Longblade User·Kong's hand developed another notch, it avoided the fate of having its throat slit.

Although it dodged Su Xiao's blade, the Longblade User·Kong could not dodge the follow-up side kick, which struck it squarely in the pelvis.

With a crash, the Longblade User·Kong was almost fused with the stone wall behind it; its body was nearly embedded into the wall.

Su Xiao had originally intended to side-kick the Longblade User·Kong's side waist, but since this guy was four meters tall, it was unlikely he could kick its upper body unless he leaped for a straight kick.

The Longblade User·Kong gripped its long-handled blade with both hands and swung a mountain-splitting slash at Su Xiao, the blade edge aiming straight for his brow.

Su Xiao flipped the Checking Zhan Long Shan in his hand, switching from a forward grip to a reverse grip. He raised his right arm over his head, blocking with the Checking Zhan Long Shan in front of his forearm.

As the long-handled blade descended, Su Xiao slightly adjusted the angle of the Checking Zhan Long Shan, keeping it tilted.

The blades of the two weapons collided. There was no crisp sound of metal clashing as imagined. Because the Checking Zhan Long Shan was blocking above Su Xiao and kept at a tilt, the long-handled blade sliding against it simply slipped to the side.

This slash was the Longblade User·Kong's first counterattack. Before this, its situation had been rather miserable—either being pinned against the wall and kicked or pinned and slashed.

Unfortunately, the first counterattack had no effect. The reason for this was the vast difference in speed between Su Xiao and the Longblade User·Kong. In terms of real Agility attributes alone, Su Xiao was 8 points higher than the Longblade User·Kong.

Once attributes reach 80 points, every point of difference becomes very obvious, let alone a gap of 8 points. While combat isn't just about comparing attributes, the gap shouldn't be too large. If it is, one-sided suppression occurs.

Su Xiao develops all four attributes simultaneously, which meant his early-stage strength growth was slow. When he fought elite plot characters before, he always found ways to avoid their sharp edges and defeat them after finding their weaknesses.

But now, the benefits of Su Xiao's four-attribute development were manifesting. The Longblade User·Kong's strongest Strength attribute was 85 points, while Su Xiao's Strength attribute reached 89 points after the bonus from the Hunter King.

The Longblade User·Kong's strongest specialty couldn't compare to Su Xiao, let alone its relatively mediocre speed. This resulted in Su Xiao, with his four-attribute development, completely crushing the Longblade User·Kong in terms of speed.
