Chapter 1402: A Difficult Opponent

A roaring sound came from the office. The sharp short axe slashed over Su Xiao's head, and a few black hairs were cut off.

While Su Xiao leaned down, he kicked Bark's lower abdomen. Bark just retreated, and a blade light flew toward his face.

Ding!

The blade light was slashed and shattered by the axe blade, dissipating in the air.

"Hoo~"

Su Xiao let out a long breath, his breathing slightly rapid. Fighting with an enemy like Bark consumed a lot of physical strength. Every time he blocked those two short axes, he would be slashed back a few steps. After many times, the organs in his chest began to ache faintly.

Bark was not feeling well either. He was covered in blood marks. Checking Zhan Long Shan was too sharp. Being slashed lightly meant a wound deep to the bone. A slash with normal force meant cutting wherever it slashed.

Su Xiao and Bark looked at each other. Just as the two wanted to fight together again, the ground under their feet suddenly shook. This was not the first time.

With a boom, a large piece of concrete on the ground shattered and fell downward.

At this time, the Shengli Gate Fortress, from the second basement level to the fourth floor above ground, was an empty shell. The height of the fifth floor had dropped by at least three meters, which was fatal to the building.

The concrete layer under Su Xiao's feet cracked in large pieces. He leaped toward a relatively intact foothold. In an instant, most of the floor slabs around collapsed.

When the ground stopped shaking, the only foothold left in the office was two meters wide. Su Xiao and Bark were both standing on it, meeting on a narrow road.

Orange-red light shone from below. Su Xiao looked down. Below was a suspension of dozens of meters high, supported only by a large number of twisted Wenluo steel frames. At the very bottom was a piece of magma, which was produced after metal and rock were melted. Standing at this height, patients with acrophobia would have weak legs instantly.

A mass of gray thick smoke floated above the magma. This was toxic gas produced by explosives on the second basement level. Due to Apollo's explosion, the oxygen below was extremely thin.

With a crash, the concrete block under Su Xiao's feet fell, falling into the semi-liquid magma below.

Rolling heat waves came from below. Su Xiao rushed forward quickly. He didn't dare to exert force under his feet, as losing the foothold would be very troublesome.

Bark seemed to know this too, and his forward pace slowed down.

Sparks flew, the long sword slashed through the air, and the fighting continued.

On the outer side behind the fortress, a man wearing goggles and a leather jacket climbed on the wall.

"Are these two guys' brains problematic? Still fighting."

The man in the leather jacket witnessed the battle on the fifth floor through the window. This was a contractor from the Apocalypse Paradise, appearing on the battlefield to pick up bargains.

Initially, the man in the leather jacket wanted to wait for Su Xiao and Bark to be both defeated and pick up bargains, but after witnessing the almost cruel battle between Su Xiao and Bark, he had no thoughts at all and was preparing to retreat.

"Alas, I have to fight these lunatics later. Life is hopeless."

The man in the leather jacket released the rope and slid toward the bottom of the fortress quickly.

Inside the fortress, on the foothold that was only one meter wide, Su Xiao slashed open Bark's shoulder with one sword, and the hilt in his hand smashed toward the axe face that slashed over.

Bang!

Su Xiao retreated a few steps. After stabilizing his footing, he wiped the blood off his face.

Bark looked at Su Xiao, thought for a moment, and took a deep breath.

Boom.

The foothold under Bark's feet shattered, and he fell toward the magma below.

Jie Duan Xian popped out from Su Xiao's sleeve, nailed into the ground under his feet, and he also leaped from the foothold.

Zzz~

The wire wheel rotated quickly. While Su Xiao was falling, he slashed out a sword, and the blade light slashed toward Bark who was falling in mid-air.

Bark was in mid-air, he couldn't slash out axe light, so he could only block the two short axes in front of him.

Just as Bark was about to fall into the magma, he bulged his muscles on his right arm and threw the short axe in his hand.

A piercing whistle attacked his face. Su Xiao tilted his body, and the high-speed rotating short axe flew past.

Just as the short axe was about to bury into the wall, it actually drew an arc and slashed toward him again. This was Bark's ability: Rotating Slash Axe (Exclusive Ability LV. 21).

With a crisp clang, the short axe didn't hit Su Xiao, but the axe handle hit the Jie Duan Xian.

Jie Duan Xian was hit, and Su Xiao swung to the side in mid-air. Before he shifted his trajectory, five blade lights left the blade edge of Checking Zhan Long Shan, slashing toward the right side of Bark's body. At this time, Bark didn't have a short axe in his right hand.

Blood sprayed. Although Bark shattered three blade lights, two still hit him, one opening his stomach and the other almost cutting open his thigh.

Just as Bark was about to fall into the magma, he grabbed the Wenluo steel frame beside him, which had been roasted red by the magma.

Blue smoke rose, Bark's body swung out, and finally leaped into a semi-collapsed underground tunnel. Bark's combat intelligence was extremely high, not afraid of life or death during battle, but he always remembered that his purpose was not to fight Su Xiao to the death, but to block Su Xiao.

From the wounds of both sides, Bark was defeated, but from the purpose, Bark won.

Su Xiao's fingers buckled the wire wheel, his body stopped in mid-air, and five meters away from him was dark red magma.

"Bark."

Su Xiao didn't continue to chase. Entering the narrow underground tunnel, Bark, holding a short-handled axe, occupied a natural advantage. The previous battle between the two was fifty-fifty, whoever revealed a flaw first would die, and after entering the narrow underground tunnel, Bark's winning rate was 70%.

Jie Duan Xian tightened, and Su Xiao was pulled to the foothold on the fifth floor. He scanned the surroundings and soon found the secret passage through which God's Envoy Dubo Yisi escaped.

Leaping into the secret passage, there was a metal ladder leading upward, and the entire secret passage was already somewhat twisted.

Su Xiao climbed the metal ladder, barely squeezed through the protruding concrete gaps, and arrived above the fortress.

Above the fortress was a short asphalt runway, with charred marks left by rubber tires on it. This was a one-way airplane runway. The risk of taking off here was not low, and landing was basically impossible. This world hadn't developed helicopters yet.

Just as Su Xiao was about to leave, he saw a string of carvings on the asphalt ground, which were the characters of the Greya Alliance, meaning: Already riding under the plane.

Su Xiao took out the tracker. There was a green dot on the tracker, which represented the assistant's vital signs. The assistant didn't know what method she used, but she wasn't frozen to death by the low-temperature airflow at high altitude.

With the assistant's level of wit, if she could take down Dubo Yisi, she wouldn't risk riding under the plane.

Although Su Xiao didn't see Dubo Yisi himself, the clues before his eyes were already obvious. He only needed to track the assistant's position.

Just as Su Xiao was preparing to leave above the fortress, he felt the fortress under his feet begin to tilt. This almost hollow fortress couldn't hold on. Even if the outer layer was Wenluo steel structure, after losing the internal concrete support, the Wenluo steel layer couldn't hold on either.

Ga, ga, ga...

The difficult metal friction sound began to be harsh. The gunfire on the battlefield below the fortress became much sparse. Most of the soldiers were watching the slowly falling Shengli Gate Fortress.

The Greya Alliance soldiers were very excited, while the Sun Kingdom soldiers were very desperate. Under the gaze of both sides, the Shengli Gate Fortress collapsed with a bang!

After a deafening loud noise, the smoke and dust surging into the sky covered most of the battlefield in smoke and dust.

Inside the concrete trench of the Sun Kingdom.

Boom!

A pale blue sphere hit the trench, and the soldiers holding firearms around were stunned for a moment.

Bang, bang, bang...

After several gunshots, all the nearby soldiers fell. The counter-attack shield dissipated, and Su Xiao leaped out of the trench, rushing toward the Sun Kingdom territory. ===== CHAPTER 1403 =====
