Chapter 1238

Su Xiao rushed toward the Armor Spirit. Every step he took forward, a puff of blue smoke rose under his feet, and the durability of the counter-attack shield around him dropped significantly.

The Armor Spirit looked at Su Xiao rushing toward him. He stopped for some reason when he was about to pry the 【Extinction Stone】 from the armor plate. He looked Su Xiao up and down, and after a moment, he ignored the 【Extinction Stone】 and rushed straight toward Su Xiao.

Clang.

The long blade rang crisply. The counter-attack shield in Su Xiao's upper body area spread out. The heat wave hit his face, his hair tips began to scorch, and his skin stung with pain. In this environment, Su Xiao being able to exert 30% of his strength was already the limit.

Su Xiao couldn't exert his full strength here, and the Armor Spirit's situation was even worse; he couldn't even stand steadily.

The blade slashed toward the Armor Spirit. The Armor Spirit spread his legs, low-temperature magma splashing, and his upper body tilted to the side, dodging Su Xiao's blade with his seriously injured body.

The Armor Spirit's posture at this time could only be described as strange. His legs were spread, his right fist was held at his waist, and his left hand reached for the spine of Checking Zhan Long Shan.

As a blade user, how could Su Xiao be easily grabbed by the enemy?

The long blade feinted, slashing toward the Armor Spirit's wrist at an extremely tricky angle.

Ding.

Sparks splashed, and the melted armor plates were slashed away. The Armor Spirit's left arm was raised uncontrollably, but at this moment, his right fist blasted out.

A sonic boom exploded abruptly. The Armor Spirit's punch looked powerless, but it was actually his ultimate ability 'Vibration Cannon Punch'. If hit by this punch, it wouldn't be as simple as breaking a few bones.

Su Xiao immediately felt his hair stand on end, and he used Dragon Shadow Flash to penetrate space without hesitation.

With a loud bang, the Armor Spirit's punch missed. A bottomless hole appeared on the stone wall dozens of meters away, with large cracks around the hole.

The Armor Spirit looked down at his chest, and a blade tip appeared in his sight, the blade tip shining with cold light.

The Armor Spirit raised his right arm with his back to Su Xiao. He clenched his fist, and with a crisp click, the armor plate embedded with the 【Extinction Stone】 flew up, heading straight for Su Xiao.

Su Xiao reached out and grabbed the armor plate. The armor plate was a bit hot.

【You have obtained the Extinction Stone.】

Su Xiao pulled out Checking Zhan Long Shan from the Armor Spirit's body. The Armor Spirit turned around, and the armor plates on his body flew off one by one, revealing a very young face.

Su Xiao looked at the Armor Spirit. The Armor Spirit was already seriously injured, and after using his ultimate ability, he clearly couldn't hold on anymore. What's more, Su Xiao had also pierced his heart.

A wisp of flame surged on the Armor Spirit. He could no longer resist the high temperature around him. In a short time, the Armor Spirit was wrapped in flames.

Although the Ancient Necromancer Race was between life and death and were not truly living creatures, they also had a sense of pain.

Enduring the pain of being burned by flames, the Armor Spirit didn't even blink, let alone scream.

The Armor Spirit's calves were the first to be burned away by the flames. He fell to the ground with a thud and lost his breath.

Originally, the Armor Spirit had the opportunity to throw the Extinction Stone toward the entrance of the second floor of the Xiya Sanctuary, where danger was everywhere, but he didn't do so. Instead, he rushed toward the stone corridor leading to the Quake Heaven Hall because he wanted to know one thing: who he had fallen into the hands of. He could perish, but he couldn't be burned to ashes without even knowing who his enemy was.

After seeing Su Xiao, the Armor Spirit guessed Su Xiao's purpose—it was the Extinction Stone on the back of his hand. Out of hostility toward the Shadow of Extinction, he decided to return to the center of the flame area and throw the Extinction Stone into the entrance of the second floor of the Xiya Sanctuary.

But Su Xiao's act of chasing him changed the Armor Spirit's mind. This guy was a combat fanatic before he died. In order to become stronger, he put on the Spirit Armor that made other Necromancer races shudder. For the Armor Spirit, the greatest pleasure in his life was fighting strong enemies.

He was very angry when he was sent to the first floor of the Xiya Sanctuary to guard here because, in his view, he should have died on the battlefield, not died here, and continued to guard here after death.

Loyalty in his heart made the Armor Spirit choose to endure. He was a great general of the Xiya Dynasty, and he had to obey the Xiya Emperor's orders no matter what.

And today, the Armor Spirit chose to die here, dutifully dying in the Xiya Sanctuary.

Su Xiao didn't know what the Armor Spirit was thinking, but he felt that if he weren't a Shadow of Extinction and had met the opponent before the Armor Spirit died, the two might have had common topics.

【You have killed the Armor Spirit.】

【You have obtained Ancient Necromancer Essence x13.】

The 【Extinction Stone】 was in hand, and since Su Xiao's current state was very poor, he wouldn't go deeper into the Xiya Sanctuary. Don't say that with his current strength, according to his observations along the way, even a fourth-tier Contractor might not be able to kill his way through the Xiya Sanctuary. The second floor might be okay, but the existences on the third floor should all be terrifying. For example, the Xiya Emperor in the deepest part was an exceptionally terrifying existence, and the Armor Spirit was just a general under the Emperor.

Su Xiao was holding his breath. Due to the explosive burning of the sun fire, there was no oxygen here, and the air was full of toxic gases.

"Amu, retreat."

Su Xiao walked quickly toward the stone corridor he came from. The magma on the ground had begun to cool.

Rumble!

The ground suddenly vibrated. Su Xiao turned his head to look. Amu had already entered the depths of the flame area at some point. He was emitting wisps of cold air and holding an ice-blue war hammer in his hand.

Su Xiao had seen this war hammer before, and he had also thought of the origin of this war hammer. Tomb Guardian Reed had once forged two war hammers. One was a hammer commonly used by the opponent, which was fire-attributed, and the other was left by the opponent in the tomb, which was ice-attributed, used to suppress something.

As soon as Amu picked up the war hammer, Su Xiao felt something was wrong.

"Retreat!"

Su Xiao shouted. Because he was holding his breath, his shout wasn't loud.

Amu stood still in place, ice-blue alchemy arrays surging in his pupils. If it were in the past, as long as Su Xiao shouted, Amu would retreat together immediately.

But now, Amu seemed to have lost consciousness, just standing still holding the ice-blue war hammer.

The boundary-breaking thread on Su Xiao's left arm popped out, wrapping around the war hammer. With a tug of his arm, Amu was directly pulled down, but Amu still didn't regain consciousness, just gripping the war hammer tightly.

Su Xiao didn't have time to check what was wrong with Amu. He rushed forward, dragging Amu behind him.

The vibration of the sanctuary became more and more intense. Su Xiao quickly rushed out of the flame area and arrived at the middle section of the stone corridor.

"Whoosh."

Su Xiao, who was running quickly, took a few breaths. While retracting the boundary-breaking thread, he pulled Amu over.

Amu was still sluggish, his eyes completely turned ice-blue. Su Xiao put away the boundary-breaking thread, grabbed Amu's horns, and dragged him forward. Amu had thick skin and flesh, so although he was dragged, he wouldn't be scraped, only the possibility of him grinding the ground.

A few seconds later, Su Xiao dragged Amu out of the stone corridor and entered the Quake Heaven Hall.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang in the Quake Heaven Hall also knew that the situation was bad. The vibration around was becoming more and more intense. Now seeing Su Xiao rush over, he immediately ran toward the exit.

Alisa was full of confusion. Before she could figure out what was going on, she had already been carried on Su Xiao's shoulder.

Su Xiao dragged Amu with his left hand and carried Alisa on his right shoulder, rushing toward the entrance of the Xiya Sanctuary at full speed. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the side was running just as hard, his tongue sticking out, his expression as joyful as it could be.

In the flame area, a mass of black fog surged from the ground. The black fog formed a human shape, and all the flames around it extinguished.

Seeming to dislike the environment here, or having detected the traces of Su Xiao and others, the black fog figure drifted toward the Quake Heaven Hall at super speed.

Whoosh~

A strong wind swept past. The black fog arrived at the Quake Heaven Hall and disappeared after staying for only a moment. When it appeared again, it was already in the area where the long blade users were located.

At the stone corridor connected to this area, a metal door slowly descended, and the black fog rushed toward the metal door.

Bang!

The metal door closed, and the impact produced a wave of air. The metal door was protected by a kind of energy and bounced the black fog away.

Behind the metal door, Su Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his cheek. He saw that mass of black fog. That thing gave him a feeling of only eeriness. Judging by his senses, he couldn't think of a way to deal with that mass of things.

Arriving at the current position was almost equivalent to leaving the area of the Xiya Sanctuary. Su Xiao wouldn't return to the Xiya Sanctuary again. If the enemies on the first floor of the Xiya Sanctuary could be dealt with by conventional means, then some things on the second and third floors could only be described as eerie.

The Extinction Stone was in hand. Not only that, Su Xiao also obtained a gold quality set treasure chest and 16 Ancient Necromancer Essences. Although he couldn't exchange them for a light gold quality set treasure chest, the original value of this thing was not low. It could be exchanged for World Source, used by himself, sold to others, etc.

Not only that, Su Xiao also obtained information about the 【Law Stone】. Getting that thing wasn't difficult. Interestingly, he had 'seen' the Law Stone many times.

After obtaining the Extinction Stone, Law Stone, and Shadow Stone, Su Xiao would head to the ruins of the Shadow of Extinction.

Although the ruins of the Shadow of Extinction were full of dangers in legends, as a Shadow of Extinction, if he went deep into there, the possibility of encountering danger shouldn't be high. The Shadow of Extinction wouldn't be stupid enough to pit his own people.

Heading to the ruins of the Shadow of Extinction and completing the adventure group promotion mission were the two things Su Xiao had to do next. After completing these two things, he would leave this original world.

But before that, Su Xiao had to figure out Amu's current situation. Amu's situation was a bit strange. This honest bull was gripping the war hammer in his hand tightly, occasionally giggling, and didn't react even when slapped in the face.
