Chapter 1228

Blood splattered as slash marks appeared on the Longblade User·Kong. Su Xiao's speed was too fast. Although the Longblade User·Kong was not without the power to counterattack, its counterattacks could only temporarily force Su Xiao back.

Large cracks appeared on the stone wall behind the Longblade User·Kong, and blood seeped into the rock crevices, looking like a bloody mural—a mural depicting Su Xiao's atrocities.

Shuala.

An ear was slashed off. The enraged Longblade User·Kong let out a roar and swung its long-handled blade at Su Xiao.

The Intuition ability captured the trajectory of the long-handled blade's slash. It was a heavy, powerful horizontal slash—the most common way for cavalry to strike—but without the coordination of a warhorse, this move appeared quite clumsy.

Su Xiao did not choose to dodge. Although he could avoid this slash, he would inevitably have to retreat while doing so. He currently had the Longblade User·Kong pinned against the wall; if he retreated, the Longblade User·Kong would have a chance to catch its breath.

Moreover, Su Xiao's Strength was superior to the Longblade User·Kong's, so he had no need to fear a head-on collision.

Su Xiao held the Checking Zhan Long Shan vertically at his side, his body slightly leaning toward the direction of the incoming slash.

Boom! The weapons collided.

Fine gravel flew from beneath Su Xiao's feet. He held the hilt with one hand and pressed the other against the spine of the blade, exerting force with both hands to begin a test of strength against the Longblade User·Kong.

As the struggle began, Su Xiao bent one leg and delivered a straight kick to the Longblade User·Kong's lower abdomen. After taking over a dozen kicks from Su Xiao, the Longblade User·Kong was naturally on guard and immediately bent its right leg to block its abdomen.

Bang!

The Longblade User·Kong spat out drops of blood. Having been hit by Su Xiao's straight kicks and side kicks many times, the organs in its chest cavity were already battered.

Compared to the organ injuries, the deep, bone-reaching slash marks on the Longblade User·Kong were more fatal. A large amount of Qing Gang Ying energy invaded its body; even with its thick skin and flesh, it couldn't fully withstand the true damage of Qing Gang Ying.

Su Xiao glanced at the Longblade User·Kong's data; its HP had dropped to 46%. This guy's physique was indeed tough; if it were any other type of enemy, it would have been slashed into a pile of minced meat by Su Xiao long ago.

"Ba E Tu Tan (Unknown language)."

The Longblade User·Kong tilted its head and roared—still in that unknown language. Every derived world or original world had many languages. The ones Su Xiao had mastered by spending Paradise Coins were the more mainstream and commonly used ones. Clearly, the language the Longblade User·Kong was using now was something very ancient or already lost.

"It's summoning soldiers."

A timid female voice came; it was the naive princess Alisa Herbert.

Su Xiao's brow twitched. While slashing at the Longblade User·Kong's throat, he cast a glance at Alisa Herbert.

"What did it say at the beginning?"

Su Xiao shouted. The edge of his long blade swept across the Longblade User·Kong's throat, and a large amount of blood sprayed out. The Longblade User·Kong's HP immediately dropped by a large chunk.

"Invaders."

Alisa Herbert clearly understood the language the Longblade User·Kong was using. This was good news, but ending the battle was more important given the current situation.

According to Alisa's translation, the Longblade User·Kong was summoning soldiers, but the surrounding area was empty. The Longblade User·Kong had only roared and had no chance to use any summoning-type abilities.

Judging by this, the Longblade User·Kong wasn't teleporting soldiers in via a summoning ability, but rather summoning soldiers already stationed within the mausoleum.

Puchi, puchi...

Blood splattered as Su Xiao slashed the Longblade User·Kong's chest, abdomen, and shoulder in quick succession. Give him a few dozen more seconds, and he was confident he could kill the Longblade User·Kong on the spot.

Rumble.

Dense footsteps came from the stone corridor guarded by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu. The footsteps approached rapidly. In less than a few seconds, over two hundred Necromancer soldiers clad in blood-colored armor rushed in.

They didn't swarm in; instead, they maintained a neat formation.

In the front row were over fifty Necromancer soldiers holding heavy shields. They were about three meters tall with robust bodies under their armor—these were shield infantry.

Behind these shield infantry were over a hundred Necromancer spearmen. They were the most numerous, totaling over a hundred.

Further back were some Necromancer soldiers holding longbows. They wore light, blood-colored leather armor and were arranged in a small, separate formation—this was the least numerous Necromancer unit.

Judging by the charge formation of these Necromancer soldiers, this was definitely not a ragtag army, but a small elite unit.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Goss were blocking the path of these Necromancer soldiers. These soldiers were in the corridor the group had come from. As long as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Goss could hold them off, these soldiers wouldn't be able to rendezvous with the Longblade User·Kong.

If Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Goss coordinated, holding off these Necromancer soldiers wouldn't be difficult.

But just then, Goss, who had been standing side-by-side with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu, suddenly retreated and rushed to Alisa Herbert's side, intending to protect her.

Goss appeared to be protecting Alisa Herbert, but in reality, he wanted to get Su Xiao and the others killed, or rather, Goss didn't want to go deep into the mausoleum at all.

If it were just Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu, they would have no problem holding off the Necromancer shield infantry and spearmen, but the Necromancer archers holding longbows in the back were a significant threat. If they weren't dealt with, even Amu would be shot into a hedgehog.

Su Xiao was curious about where these Necromancer soldiers came from. Although he had a vague guess, if that were the case, it would be due to his own negligence.

Fortunately, the current situation wasn't dire. Su Xiao slashed at the Longblade User·Kong, which immediately raised its giant blade to block. Just as it blocked Su Xiao's long blade, a side kick from Su Xiao arrived.

Bang!

The Longblade User·Kong was kicked away. This was the power of Blade Master Lv. 40 combined with Close-Quarters Combat Mastery Lv. 40. Su Xiao could not only kill with the weapon in his hand, but his legs were also lethal weapons capable of taking lives.

While kicking the Longblade User·Kong away, Su Xiao gave a look to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu. The man, dog, and cow had been through countless battles together, so they were exceptionally in sync.

Almost at the same time, Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Amu all rushed toward Goss. Goss, who was blocking in front of Alisa, was clearly stunned.

"Moo!"

Amu charged at Goss with its horns lowered. Goss truly hadn't expected Su Xiao and the others to be so decisive.

Compared to Amu in its charge, Su Xiao was even faster. A black afterimage flashed by, and Su Xiao had already reached Goss.

The Checking Zhan Long Shan collided with the knight sword in Goss's hand. Although Goss was arrogant, he did have some strength. The moment the sword and blade collided, Goss's body leaned slightly forward.

With a clang, sparks flew. Goss felt a massive force transmitted through his hand. Just as he prepared to engage in a brief struggle with Su Xiao, Su Xiao suddenly vanished before him.
