Chapter 1556: Beaten back

Su Xiao disappeared again from the eyes of the two Tier 4 witches. Looking at the corpse of their companion cut in two, they were full of disbelief.

The speed at which Su Xiao used Absolute Shadow Flash was something even he himself could only advance in a straight line, unable to change direction midway; the speed was simply too fast.

Because the speed was too fast, the air around Su Xiao became viscous. In his vision, he closed the distance with the witch holding the silver chain rapidly, and her movements when raising her hand were abnormally slow.

Just as the silver chain witch raised her hand, Su Xiao's long blade had already slashed across her chest and abdomen.

Blood splattered, and the Absolute Shadow Flash ability, which had entered the cooldown stage, refreshed instantly. The ground under Su Xiao's feet shattered inch by inch, and a ball of emerald energy flew toward him—this was healing from a friendly unit.

*Bang! *

Su Xiao stomped on the ground, activating the Absolute Shadow Flash ability for the third time. The healing ability from the friendly unit tracked him from behind, but he was so fast that even the friendly healing ability couldn't keep up.

Su Xiao used Absolute Shadow Flash three times in a row. It seemed like a long process, but in the eyes of the enemy, it was just three red slashes flashing by.

The last remaining Tier 4 witch trembled. The successive deaths of her companions made her feel fear. And in the next moment, this fear disappeared, and a cold sensation appeared on her chest, followed by the world spinning.

Su Xiao slashed three Tier 4 witches in a row. The Tier 3 witches who were besieging him nearby were stunned, and Kai at the entrance to the second floor also widened her eyes, looking at the scene before her with suspicion.

Of course, although the witches were shocked that the three Tier 4 witches had cooled down just like that, they wouldn't flee before the battle. The castle had no back door; either Su Xiao died, or they died.

A Tier 3 witch held her hands in a virtual grip, and her avatar clung behind her, acting as an elemental converter.

*Pfft, pfft~*

A lightning ball appeared between the witch's hands. She pushed forward with all her might, and a flash of lightning shot out from the lightning ball.

Even if it was artificial lightning, the speed could be imagined. Su Xiao took a deep breath and blocked with his left arm.

*Bang! * With a muffled sound, Su Xiao retreated several steps. Black smoke drifted from his left hand wearing the metal bracer, and a numbing sensation filled the left half of his body.

Su Xiao was struck by lightning. Not to mention that Tier 3 witch, even Kai was stunned for a moment.

That Tier 3 witch just wanted to continue attacking Su Xiao when three arrows attacked from her side. The angles of these three arrows were too tricky, and since the witch was in the middle of casting a spell, it was impossible for her to dodge.

One arrow in the throat, one in the head, one in the arm. The Undead Hunter was just about to use Undead Power to pull out the arrows when she discovered the enemy was already dead.

Originally, the Hunter was suppressing Kai at a distance. Although these three arrows helped Su Xiao solve the threat from afar, they also exposed the Hunter to danger.

Metal needles flew toward the Hunter. These metal needles were glowing red all over. Being stabbed wasn't as simple as just a hole.

Fortunately, the Hunter was short, only about 1.5 meters tall. She crouched and jumped behind a wall, just wanting to draw her bow to counterattack, when she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen.

The Hunter looked down and saw a metal needle stabbed into her lower abdomen, the heat of the metal needle spreading through her body.

*Sss, sss~*

Blue smoke rose from the Hunter's hand holding the metal needle. She had a sense of pain, but now she couldn't be disturbed by this pain.

*Swish! * The Hunter pulled out the metal needle from her lower abdomen. She leaned against the wall, her body almost convulsing in pain.

Ten seconds later, the Hunter opened her eyes. Her left abdomen had completely lost sensation, which made her unable to be as flexible as before, turning from a mysterious archer into a fixed-point firepower.

Behind the wall, Su Xiao put away D·Assassination and directly pulled out Duke of Silence.

*Boom! *

A muffled sound came, and a Tier 3 witch who just wanted to lean out to observe the situation was blasted to pieces by a shot. The other witches hurriedly pulled their heads back.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, all kinds of avatars rushed out from the entrance to the second floor, which could be described as a mixed bag.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, hiding behind the wall, smiled. It took out over a dozen shotguns, threw a few to Amu, and then the dog and the cow held double shotguns, spraying at the group of rushing avatars.

*Bang, bang, bang... *

Diamond fragments splattered, and the pungent smell of gunpowder spread. Screams came from the entrance to the second floor. All those rushing avatars slammed on the brakes and turned to flee back to the second floor entrance.

"Damn it!"

Kai picked a diamond fragment from her neck. She was hit by a stray bullet; this fragment bounced three times before hitting her. Although the wound wasn't deep, it was truly depressing. ===== CHAPTER 1557 =====

Kai was in a very foul mood. She was not part of the pro-war faction among the witches; in Kai's view, witches could perfectly well coexist with humans, or at least avoid direct conflict.

Witches were not beings that had to harm humans to survive. Therefore, in Kai's perception, witches could absolutely form an empire with humans, abandon war, and develop the continent's resources.

Kai was an idealistic witch, but unfortunately, she did not understand human nature. When powerful individuals who differed from the norm appeared among humans, out of fear, humans would use collective strength to exclude those "abnormal individuals." It wasn't a matter of right or wrong, but this was the origin of the conflict.

No one would be willing to share a room with a stranger holding a sharp weapon, especially without the constraints of law, let alone when the person holding the weapon was not exactly kind, but rather perverse in nature.

As the siege battle progressed to this point, it was clear that Su Xiao's side had the advantage. The witch side had no recovery-type abilities at all; those were abilities mastered by White Witches, and given the atmosphere of West Port, kind-hearted White Witches could not stay here for long.

Behind the wall, Su Xiao put away D-Assassination and pulled out Silence Duke directly.

Boom!

A muffled sound came, and a Third-Tier witch who had just tried to lean out to observe the situation was blasted to pieces by a shot; the other witches hurriedly pulled their heads back.

The strong light spread with Morisa as the center point. This was one of her exclusive abilities, one of her ultimate moves, Scorching Sun, consuming 20% of her own mana to perform indiscriminate attacks within 100 meters around her. The attack intensity depended on the distance. Each use of this ability would consume one Light Radiance. ===== CHAPTER 1561 =====

Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, hiding behind the wall, smiled. It took out a dozen shotguns, tossed a few to Amu, and then one dog and one cow held dual shotguns, spraying that group of charging avatars.

Bang, bang, bang...

Diamond fragments splashed, and a pungent smell of gunpowder spread. Screams came from within the second-floor entrance; those charging avatars all slammed on the brakes and turned to flee back into the second-floor entrance.

"Damn it!"

Kai picked a diamond fragment out of her neck. She had been caught in the crossfire; this diamond fragment had ricocheted three times before hitting her. Although the wound was not deep, it was truly depressing.
