Chapter 1379: Enemy of Luck (Fifth Update)

The divination house was dead silent. The battle did not wake the civilians; civilians within a 500-meter radius had been evacuated, otherwise Su Xiao and the others would have made a move long ago.

Monroe sat behind the sofa, with several pieces of cotton batting on his head.

Click, click...

The glass shards in front of the divination house door were crushed, and a figure walked into the divination house openly.

Seeing this scene, Shalin, 200 meters away, gritted her teeth in anger.

"Actually engaged in melee with people from the Sun Kingdom, what is this guy thinking?"

And in the next moment, the anger on Shalin's face vanished. The only thought in her heart was, could Su Xiao also be an agent of the Sun Kingdom?

Boom!

A loud noise came from inside the divination house. Su Xiao threw away the concrete debris in his hand; in front of him was a broken concrete pillar.

Su Xiao held the sword in his right hand, the long sword pointing obliquely at the ground.

A man wearing casual clothes, with short hair and holding a deck of cards in his hand, stood in front of Su Xiao. His pupils flashed with golden light.

This person was named Monroe, a contractor of the Sanctuary Paradise, also a believer, but he was not a fence-sitter. The god he believed in was somewhat special—the Goddess of Luck.

Swish, swish~

The cards fluttered in Monroe's hand, and a card popped out—it was a Club 5.

"50% chance of winning, not bad."

Monroe grabbed the playing card in mid-air and stuffed it into his mouth. After approaching his mouth, the playing card turned into golden light particles and quickly poured into his mouth.

With a boom, stone chips splashed under Su Xiao's feet, and he rushed straight toward his opponent.

Clang!

The long sword slashed past, and Monroe's figure left a residual image, narrowly dodging Su Xiao's slash.

Su Xiao disappeared into thin air, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Monroe. Monroe's pupils contracted rapidly, and a faint stinging sensation came from the back of his neck.

Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan sliced through the air, slashing straight toward the back of Monroe's neck.

Monroe's thumb flicked, popping a playing card from his hand—it was a Spade 10, representing that Monroe had a 100% certainty of dodging this slash.

The golden light in Monroe's eyes surged. In this instant, he erupted with a speed that his own agility attribute could not possess.

Whoosh~

Monroe disappeared, disappearing into thin air just like Su Xiao using Dragon Shadow Flash.

Su Xiao's slash missed. At the same time, he leaned forward and tilted his head to the left. A hand blade stabbed from behind his ear, narrowly grazing his cheek.

Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan flipped in Su Xiao's hand, and the long sword drew a semicircle in front of him.

With a swish, the tips of three fingers were slashed off. Monroe was stunned for a moment, then retreated rapidly.

Just as Monroe retreated, Su Xiao turned around on the spot and kicked sideways.

A whimpering sound of breaking wind passed by. Monroe tilted his head back, and a bloodstain appeared on his chin. Although he was only grazed by the tip of Su Xiao's foot, his chin was also burning with pain.

Su Xiao leaped backward, and Monroe made the same move almost simultaneously. The two started fighting the moment they met, each move aiming straight for the other's vital points. From the start of the battle until now, there had not been a single word of nonsense.

Drip, drip...

Blood dripped from Monroe's hand. He looked at the three severed fingertips, then looked at Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. That sword was truly too sharp—sharp to an unreasonable degree.

A playing card popped out from Monroe's hand—it was a Heart 3, representing that his injuries would heal within 3 minutes. This guy's abilities were very comprehensive, including evasion, healing, and attack. It was impossible to tell that he was a member of a large team; this guy was more like a lone wolf.

Su Xiao wiped the blood from his face. The injury was not serious, but he suffered an extremely perverted debuff effect.

【Hint: You have been hostilely targeted by the God of Luck. Luck attribute temporarily -1, effect lasts 10 minutes.】

This was the first time Su Xiao had encountered such an enemy. After enduring the other party's attack, his luck attribute was actually temporarily reduced.

Monroe popped a playing card from his hand again—it was a Spade 2, representing that the next time he injured Su Xiao, Su Xiao would temporarily reduce his luck attribute by 2 points.

Monroe looked at the Spade 2 in mid-air. He rarely drew a Spade 2; it was usually an Ace, meaning that after attacking a specific part, the enemy would reduce their luck attribute by 1 point.

Su Xiao glanced at the Counter Shield beside him. When the enemy attacked him before, he had already placed the Counter Shield in the enemy's attack path, but it had no effect. That attack seemed to be able to ignore the Counter Shield.

Weird, a very weird ability.

Su Xiao's gaze scanned the surroundings, wanting to make maximum use of the surrounding terrain.

"I once heard that the Reincarnation Paradise is a group of lunatics. Now it seems, it is indeed so."

Monroe glanced at the corpse outside the shop, and in the next moment, he rushed straight toward Su Xiao. The previous words were meant to distract Su Xiao, and he also used eye contact to induce him.

However, this move was clearly a method Su Xiao had grown tired of playing. The moment the enemy rushed forward, Su Xiao also greeted him.

Clang, clang, clang.

The sword light shone in the room. A few seconds later, Monroe, covered in blood, retreated several steps. The real damage he suffered caused his health value to slide to 21% instantly.

A playing card popped out, and 2 seconds later, the wounds on Monroe's body healed.

The sound of bullets penetrating walls came one after another. The Geya Alliance agents had already engaged with the sneering man, and the gunfire became more rapid.

"3, 2, 1."

For some reason, Monroe counted down three times. This time, he popped five playing cards from his hand.

Light and shadow twisted, and five Monroe figures appeared out of thin air, totaling six people including Monroe's main body.

The six Monroes fanned out toward the surroundings. Monroe had already noticed that Su Xiao had no obvious weaknesses.

Su Xiao was also looking for Monroe's weakness. The other party's only weakness might be that his physical defense was relatively low, or rather, Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan was too sharp. The Tier 4 contractor Monroe simply could not block Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. If his ability had not been strong enough, he would have already died under Su Xiao's sword.

Su Xiao and Monroe looked at each other, both guessing the other's thoughts.

Boom!

Both sides rushed forward at the same time. This time it was six against one.

Su Xiao instantly got close to Monroe. The whistling wind in his ears disappeared. Just as he was about to swing his sword, he noticed that the enemy closest to him was wrong.

I don't know if this was Monroe's clone ability or split ability, but the Monroe closest to Su Xiao suddenly expanded, as if he had been inflated.

Slap.

Like a balloon bursting, that Monroe exploded into a group of golden smoke, and the smoke rolled back toward Monroe.

Slap, slap, slap...

The remaining four Monroes all exploded, leaving only Monroe's main body.

At this time, Monroe was like a god descending to earth, his whole body wrapped in golden light.

Just at this moment, the metal chandelier above Su Xiao's head suddenly fell. He slashed the chandelier with one sword, electric sparks exploded, and the current attacked Su Xiao along Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.

This intensity of voltage was nothing to Su Xiao, but this seemed to be a signal—that Su Xiao was about to start having bad luck. Monroe was a contractor specializing in luck.

Su Xiao had already guessed this point. He had experience fighting this type of enemy; this type of enemy was very difficult to deal with.

【Hint: The Hunter is in the enemy's domain, your luck will be significantly reduced.】

Without the Reincarnation Paradise's hint, Su Xiao also knew this was the situation. He clearly felt that everything around him was hostile to him—the gravel scattered on the ground, the chandelier slashed into two, the sofa broken into a dozen pieces. Faint malice came from all these seemingly inconspicuous things. ===== CHAPTER 1380 =====
