Chapter 1421: Chapter Fifty-Eight: One Against Eight

On a cracked street in Luobei City.

A woman covered in slash wounds crawled on the street, her lower half severed, one eye gouged out, and countless penetrating wounds on her body.

A pale foot stepped on the woman's face, and her body trembled.

"Just now... you called me a little brat, didn't you?"

A slightly laughing child's voice came.

"Yes, yes, if you have the guts, kill me."

The woman's pupils were dim, recalling the previous scene, and even now she still couldn't quite believe it.

"Wrong answer."

As the words fell, the woman lying on the ground felt a sharp pain in her eye socket, three slender fingers pierced into her eye socket and forcibly pulled out her eyeball.

"Ah!!"

The woman let out a miserable scream, waving her hands wildly forward, trying to grab her enemy.

"I didn't provoke you, yet you call me a little brat—this is a basic etiquette issue, but speaking of which, do you like candy? If you also like candy, I can let you go, after all, you look quite pitiful."

Gu Gu crouched in front of the woman, her bloody little hand peeled open a candy.

"Like, like it."

The woman, now only her upper body remaining, was the previous spider woman; back then her expression was natural as she searched for prey in Luobei City.

"Really?"

Gu Gu laughed, stuffing the candy into the spider woman's mouth.

"Sweet?"

Gu Gu gently stroked the spider woman's cheek, her movements tender.

"Very, very sweet..."

The spider woman suddenly felt like crying, as the other often stabbed her with a dagger for strange reasons, her mouth full of blood, and even if she ate a bit of saccharin now, she wouldn't feel sweet.

If it were before, Gu Gu wouldn't 'tease' enemies, but she hates being called a little brat the most—Su Xiao had called her that before, and Gu Gu's anger had already begun to boil over, while the spider woman calling her a little brat wasn't just lighting a powder keg, but shoving an entire torch into it.

The provoked Gu Gu was very angry, and the consequences were severe.

"Very sweet..."

Gu Gu's smile on her face gradually faded.

"This candy was originally mine, but it ended up in your mouth—are you stealing my candy?"

Undoubtedly, this is a death sentence.

"I was wrong."

After the spider woman said this, even she was stunned for a moment.

"Eh~"

Gu Gu also froze for a moment; the situation was developing oddly—usually in such cases, opponents should curse her as a little slut.

"You didn't even utter harsh words, and you really do look pitiful, so since that's the case, you can go die."

The dagger slashed, and the spider woman was freed.

"You over there, you've been watching the whole time—is there something?"

Gu Gu wiped the dagger on the spider woman's corpse, her gaze toward the top of a half-collapsed building.

Above the building, a man in a white coat stood with arms crossed, his meticulously trimmed beard giving a sense of firmness, the impact sweeping over, his white coat flapping loudly behind him.

The man leapt down from the building, not looking at Gu Gu, but walking to the spider woman's corpse, he knelt on one knee, gently placed his hand on her head, murmuring something quietly—he was praying, praying for the dead.

After a moment, the man opened his eyes.

"Holy Domain Paradise, Holy Flame—others call me that."

Holy Flame's pupils flickered with blue light, as if blue flames were burning, and the next moment, his arms rose with blue flames.

Gu Gu's face turned solemn; this man named Holy Flame was completely different from the spider woman—they were opponents of two different levels.

Legendary level, the dagger inlaid with seven gems flipped in Gu Gu's hand—some of these gems were legendary, some were gold quality.

Red light enveloped the dagger; Gu Gu slashed forward from thin air, and Holy Flame, walking straight toward her, immediately tilted his head, a shallow bloodstain appearing on his face.

"You're not bad."

Gu Gu smiled, turned, and fled.

This strange development left the imposing Holy Flame stunned for a moment, and just then, a mass of red mist surged behind him, condensing into a humanoid form that stabbed toward his back.

As the red mist doppelganger appeared, Gu Gu, who had been feigning retreat, lunged at Holy Flame—this is Gu Gu, who uses every means in battle, and if necessary, she'll even pretend to be pitiful, as she'd say: "I'm just a kid—how could I possibly follow rules?"

……

A tsunami howled as it surged forward, the first to suffer were the buildings on the edge of Luobei City, which were already full of cracks, and after being swept by tens-of-meters-high waves, they instantly shattered.

After the tsunami shattered the buildings, its destructive power became even more terrifying—the seawater mixed with steel rebar and stone chunks became a natural grinder, pulverizing all life swept into the current.

On the city's east side, inside a factory, Su Xiao dodged a bullet flying straight at him while raising his left hand holding d·assassination.

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

After five shots, a round-shield-wielding contractor from the Initiate's Paradise staggered and fell, leaning against a steam engine, his shield nearly shattered, the shield face crossed with three slash marks.

The shell hadn't even hit the ground when Su Xiao's long knife was already raised in front of his face.

Clang!

A large axe chopping down from above was blocked by the Dragon-Slaying Flash; compared to Bak's short axe, this great axe's force was truly too weak.

While blocking the great axe, Su Xiao kicked straight out, striking the abdomen of the great axe-wielding contractor.

A muffled groan—this burly man was kicked flying, and while airborne, he spat a large mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing this, the wet nurse hiding in the factory's side immediately stood up, a mass of emerald light detaching from her staff and flying swiftly toward the burly man.

Just as Su Xiao kicked the burly man away, his left hand holding d·assassination had already been raised.

Pfft, pfft, pfft.

Three shots went in, blood spattered, a mass of green light fell on the burly man, this mass of green light gradually dissipated, it could heal wounds, but it could not resurrect a corpse.

The burly man's corpse had just hit the ground, three contractors wielding melee weapons charged at Su Xiao.

An energy shield appeared beside Su Xiao, he didn't even glance at the three contractors, but instead aimed his gun at the distant medic.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft.

Four shots in, the medic hiding behind the metal machinery had her hands blown off, a bullet pierced her forearm, nearly shattering her skull.

The metal machinery in front of the medic was blasted through, scorching steam gushed out.

The magazine of d·assassination was emptied and fell, the pre-prepared ammunition was loaded in.

Pfft, pfft...

Six consecutive shots, a thud came from behind a concrete wall, the most disgusting support contractor in this squad fell.

Blood dripped down Su Xiao's pant leg; he had been momentarily controlled earlier, then came under concentrated fire from eight contractors of the Initiate's Paradise. He relied on the Counterattack Shield to block most of the firepower before beginning to counterattack.

Eight contractors, though few in number, they had a full setup: tank, control, medic, melee, and magic—everything was present.

Naturally, the magic users died first; that water mage, until death, couldn't understand why Su Xiao chose to endure his teammates' firepower to eliminate him first.

After the magic users fell, next was the main tank, then the melee fighters, the control users were also down, leaving only a trembling medic and three melee fighters.

Su Xiao had originally been searching for the location of the black bees, but this squad proactively attacked him.

The terrified medic tried to peek out, her leg trembling nonstop.

Bang!

Sparks flew, a bullet pierced the metal machinery, flew past the medic's eyes, she sat down on the ground in fright, just moments ago she had been close to death, as for her three teammates, they had already fled.
