Chapter 1573: Kill Our Way In

The scream inside the line of sky was heard not only by the witches but also clearly by Carmen and the others. Several old men looked at each other, roughly guessing what was going on.

The possibility of a traitor in the squad was very low. If there was no traitor, then only one possibility remained: a prophecy-type witch.

Clearly, in the past few years, Moi Nora's subordinates didn't have a White Witch who mastered prophecy abilities; otherwise, Carmen wouldn't have chosen to pass through the Gate of Dawn.

The scream echoed inside the line of sky for a moment before dissipating. A wild wind raged. Just as Carmen and the others were about to retreat to the rear, over thirty witches surrounded them from afar. This was clearly a trap laid long ago, just waiting for Su Xiao's group to arrive.

The situation wasn't optimistic, but there was good news: the encirclement laid by the witches wasn't tight. They had originally intended to surround them from all directions after Su Xiao and the others entered the line of sky, but who could have thought that before Su Xiao and the others even stepped into the trap, a "pig teammate" would emerge from among them.

"What to do? Kill our way out from the back?"

The drunkard's eyes scanned the surroundings. Although the situation was critical, he was exceptionally calm.

"Kill our way straight through. If we retreat now, it will be even harder to pass through the Gate of Dawn next time."

While speaking, Su Xiao took out a few smoke bombs. After pulling the pins, he threw the smoke bombs toward the rear to block the line of sight of the thirty-plus witches behind them.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Carmen and the others were stunned. The trap was right in front; listening to Su Xiao, it was clear he wanted to throw themselves into the net.

The smoke spread rapidly. An ice-blue arrow pierced through. Carmen swung the cane-whip in his hand, and silver light flickered. The incoming energy arrow was shattered.

"Don't hide it anymore. We've reached this point. Kuku Lin's words make sense. If we don't kill our way in now, it will only be harder to enter Moi Nora's territory later."

Silver patterns climbed onto the left cheek of Carmen's face, and that cane-whip also revealed a silver light. This power was somewhat similar to an elemental witch, but it was slightly different.

"I can't use it anymore."

Red patterns emerged on Blood Bear's face, still on the left cheek position. Unlike Carmen, the red patterns on his face had almost climbed to the temple position.

"Who told you not to be moderate when you were young."

The drunkard laughed sinisterly. His temples throbbed, and yellow patterns climbed onto his face. Looking at the appearance, although it hadn't reached the temples, it wasn't far off.

Witch Grave didn't speak. He took off the black robe on his body and pulled a crossbow from his lower back. This crossbow could fire continuously, with a capacity of about ten arrows. Cyan patterns climbed onto Witch Grave's face; he had the fewest patterns on his face.

"Kuku Lin, if we can kill our way out of the Gate of Dawn, we will still follow the original plan. You go to the Mist Fortress, and we go to the Dust-Mud Altar."

"Can do."

"That's good. Let's kill our way over."

Carmen was just about to charge toward the line of sky when over a hundred witches walked out from inside the line of sky. They had already been exposed, so continuing to ambush made no sense.

The leader among the witches was an old witch with a face full of scars. After this old witch walked to the entrance of the line of sky, she raised one hand, signaling the witches behind not to act rashly. She had some words that must be said.

"Witch Grave."

The old witch roared. Her voice was hoarse, seemingly having had her vocal cords injured.

Witch Grave Gante stopped his footsteps just as he was about to charge forward. He looked at the old witch with confusion.

"Do you still remember me, you beast."

The old witch tore her clothes apart. Her body was purple-red, and the surface was uneven. These were scars left after being skinned.

"As if I'd remember you."

Witch Grave muttered. As soon as he finished speaking, Blood Bear on the side raised the shotgun in his hand.

"Why waste words with her."

Bang!

Thick smoke splashed, and the deafening gunshot spread. A large piece of diamond fragments shot toward the old witch.

The old witch pushed her palms forward, and dense swarms of beetles crawled out from her clothes. These beetles reflected a metallic luster under the setting sun, flapping their wings and flying forward.

After a series of crisp clanging sounds, the diamond fragments were blocked by those beetles.

"Oh? So it's Man Candice," Witch Grave seemed to recall something, and he immediately shouted: "Drunkard, phosphorus powder."

Although the drunkard didn't know what the situation was, out of trust in Witch Grave, he took out a small bag of powder from his bosom. This was the main material for making explosives, so he naturally carried it with him.

Hundreds of beetles flew toward them. However, just as these beetles appeared, Su Xiao, Amu, Carmen, and the others had already charged toward the Gate of Dawn.

The group didn't charge over as a team. There were over a hundred witches inside the line of sky; charging as a team would make them living targets. Charging separately was the correct choice.

Ding, ding, ding...

Sparks flew, and black beetles were shattered by Su Xiao one by one. D-Assassination appeared in his hand. He aimed while charging and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Although the power of D-Assassination wasn't as good as Duke of Annihilation, if one compared the bullet flight speed and penetration power at close range, the Legendary-quality D-Assassination was definitely a cut above Duke of Annihilation.

The bullets in the magazine were emptied in an instant. Three Black Witches were shot in the head on the spot, two fell clutching their chests, and the remaining bullets were blocked.

Su Xiao, who was charging, suddenly stopped. A blue fireball flew past him. Just as the fireball flew past, he continued to charge, and several energy thorns nailed into the ground behind him.

Su Xiao's stop-and-go made the witches who locked onto Su Xiao very uncomfortable. Compared to them, those curse-type witches were clearly much more relaxed; at least their abilities hit, as for the effect...

Zhan Long Shan slashed through the air several times, and blue blade glows flew off the blade. Under the cover of the blade glows, Su Xiao charged in front of the witches.

"Block him."

A witch roared. The surrounding witches felt speechless at the same time. They were witches, witches whose physical strength crushed humans; how could they fear being approached by a human?

A witch closer to Su Xiao drew a short blade from her calf and charged toward Su Xiao together with her incarnation from left and right.

Su Xiao's charging momentum slowed. He slashed horizontally with the long blade in his hand, aiming at the witch holding the short blade.

The witch held the short blade sideways to block. She hooked her finger, and that incarnation appeared behind Su Xiao.

The short-blade witch's idea was quite good; she blocked Su Xiao's slash, giving the incarnation a chance to sneak attack.

Puchi!

Blood splashed, and a severed blade fragment flew into mid-air.

The short-blade witch suddenly felt her body become light. She seemed to be flying. Looking down, what she saw was the rapidly approaching ground.

Resolving the short-blade witch with one slash, a light blue crystal layer wrapped around Su Xiao's elbow. He turned around and threw an elbow.

With a "crack," a large piece of incarnation fragments splashed. Su Xiao's left hand, wrapped in a metal armguard, scooped, and over a dozen incarnation fragments were held in his hand.

Su Xiao threw the incarnation fragments in his left hand forward. Not far away, a witch covered her face and screamed in agony.

Su Xiao's eyes scanned left and right. An energy shield appeared in front of him.

Boom!

Various attacks bombarded the energy shield, and dust flew in the surroundings.

"Is he dead?"

"Probably... yes."

The long blade broke through the dust. A Second-Tier witch hadn't even reacted to what was going on when she felt the world spinning, and a buzzing sound rang in her ears. ===== CHAPTER 1574 =====
