Chapter 1581

~8 min read 1,431 words

Outside the light cocoon, Su Xiao took a deep breath and pulled Zhan Long Shan out with all his might. After these two slashes, his arms were completely numb and needed a moment to recover, otherwise, it would affect his continued blade swinging.

With his arms temporarily unusable, Su Xiao still had his legs. The Wood Spirit clung to his lower leg, and the Kinetic Boots were activated. Su Xiao hunched over, bent his knees, and after charging for 2 seconds, delivered a side kick to the light cocoon.

Thud!

A wave of air spread to the surroundings, and the gravel on the ground was swept away. The light cocoon had strong defense against sharp blade slashes but was somewhat weak against blunt force.

The light cocoon flew toward the inner side of the mountain like a squashed bun with a "whoosh."

Boom!

It was as if explosives had been detonated inside the mountain, and gravel splashed out like scattered flowers.

Inside the light cocoon, Moi Nora spat out blood with a "wah." That frustrated expression seemed to say, "Just you wait until I get out."

Crack!

A crisp sound of metal collision came. Su Xiao pulled the bolt of the Duke of Silence, raised the gun, aimed, and fired—the actions were smooth and continuous.

With a "bang," the dust around Su Xiao was shaken half a meter high by the Duke of Silence's recoil, and an earth-attribute bullet left the chamber.

Another loud noise came from inside the mountain, and that wasn't all. Su Xiao continued to pull the bolt, firing into the mountain one shot after another. The light cocoon was twisted and distorted; the effect of slashing was poor, but blunt force was very effective.

Just as Su Xiao was blasting the light cocoon shot after shot, a completely pitch-black figure leaped down from the edge of the Mist Valley. This was a humanoid creature nearly four meters tall, and he had tracked all the way here.

The humanoid creature leaped into the magma at the bottom of the valley. With a "hiss," blue smoke rose, and the humanoid creature didn't care at all about the temperature of the magma under his feet.

The humanoid creature was named Zango, a Void creature from the middle layer of the Black Abyss. A fighting race, he could adapt to harsh environments at an extremely fast speed and could even survive in an oxygen-free environment.

Zango's four-meter height was very shocking, not to mention his muscles that looked like they were cast from iron. Just standing there, he gave people a sense of oppression.

Having tracked here, Zango was clearly somewhat displeased; this was dissatisfaction with the prey. He had almost circled this continent; the starting point of the teleportation was the east, then he tracked to the depths of the east, entered the central plains, and even went to the West Port in the west, only to see a dilapidated castle there.

To this day, he had finally tracked the prey. As a Bajing race, he had great confidence in his tracking ability; of course, this was just his own feeling.

Sensing that the prey's aura was not far away, Zango's mouth seemed to want to curl up, but he suddenly remembered that he was a hired assassin in the Void; he couldn't have any expressions. He was cold, he had no feelings.

Zango's muscles surged, and after confirming his state was good, he leaped up.

Boom!

Just as he leaped into the high mountain depression, a loud noise entered Zango's ears. He saw his prey holding a heavy sniper rifle, blasting away at the mountain.

Zango also used this kind of heavy firepower weapon; in this aspect, his performance among his peers wasn't considered excellent, but sniping prey 2–3 kilometers away was no problem.

"Law-Breaker!"

Zango shouted sharply. The gunfire stopped, and Su Xiao turned to look at the brawny man not far away—no, it should be an unknown creature.

Through preliminary observation, Su Xiao judged that this four-meter-tall guy was not a native of the Dark Crow Continent because the other's aura was very abnormal.

This abnormality made Su Xiao somewhat familiar. Linking it to the other's "Law-Breaker," the newcomer's identity was already obvious: a Void creature!

Su Xiao's brows were locked tight; the situation had become chaotic. Moi Nora inside the light cocoon could jump out at any time, and now there was an extra Void creature. Looking at the other's gaze, he clearly wasn't here to help him deal with Moi Nora.

Carefully observing the Void creature's appearance, Su Xiao thought of a fighting race: the Bajing race—pitch-black skin, humanoid, no hair on the body, and a metallic texture on the skin.

Although Su Xiao didn't fully recognize all Void races, through his experience in the Demon Castle and the data provided by the Succubus Lilim, he understood most of them.

Su Xiao couldn't yet be sure that the guy before him was a Bajing race because he was too tall. Generally, the Bajing race's height was around three meters, at most three point five. If this four-meter brawny man was really a Bajing race, he was clearly a little giant.

"Bajing race?"

As Su Xiao spoke, he pulled the trigger. The gunfire roared; he prepared to stabilize the Void creature first and try to blast Moi Nora to death with the Duke of Silence.

"That's right."

Zango raised his chin slightly, seemingly proud of his Bajing race identity.

"Sent by the Arcane Eternal Star?"

Su Xiao fired another shot.

"That is a client's secret."

Zango snorted coldly. Hearing his reply, Su Xiao confirmed that he was hired by the Arcane Eternal Star, and the heavy stone in his heart was half-lifted. The Bajing race were famous mercenary clans in the Void, or rather, assassin clans. They didn't labor, they didn't produce—note, not that they didn't want to, but they simply couldn't.

They used the commission from assassinations as their main source of livelihood. These guys were famously poor in the Void, famously good at fighting, and also famously simple-minded—of course, excluding their combat abilities.

Su Xiao looked at Zango's upper arm, where there was a cross-shaped scratch. This indicated that the other had just reached adulthood, or perhaps was even still training in the Black Abyss when he ran out to take a commission.

"Law-Breaker, are you ready to welcome death?"

Zango clenched his fist, and with a "bang" of air explosion, his grip strength was astonishing.

Void, Arcane Eternal Star, inside a magic tower nearly a thousand meters tall.

Everywhere one looked was filled with blue crystals, and terrifying elemental magic energy conducted within the crystals, finally disappearing into a single point.

Crack crack crack...

The crystals shattered, and a fair arm reached out from the blue crystals.

"I actually meditated for so long."

The woman inside the crystal spoke. The crystals around her shattered, and with a casual wave, a cup of steaming black tea appeared in her hand.

"Lunalu, tell me what happened during my meditation."

The woman made a gesture to sit down, and as soon as she struck the pose, a chair appeared behind her, floating in mid-air, ignoring gravity.

"Sage, recently..."

A small sprite pierced through space and began to chatter incessantly about the recent events. The woman sipped her black tea while flipping through a very thick book.

"Wait, you just said the Law-Breaker appeared outside the Void? And entered an unknown world?"

The woman's hand flipping the book paused. Her name was Serphilia, known as the Mage Sage, a big shot in the Void.

"Yes, my lord, the Wind Prince has already sent people; after all, he has had contact with that Law-Breaker."

"Who did he send? That kind of place cannot be entered casually."

"It is said to be an assassin hired from the Bajing race."

The sprite circled Serphilia as it spoke, leaving a trail of light particles in mid-air.

"Bajing race?"

Serphilia, who had been indifferent just a moment ago, stood up.

"Yes, my lord, the Bajing race is very strong, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"..."

Serphilia's expression began to look ugly. The Bajing race was indeed strong, but they were also stupid. This left Serphilia somewhat puzzled as to why the Wind Prince would take the initiative to take on this matter; that prince was famously a shut-in.

What Serphilia didn't know was that Su Xiao and the Wind Prince had a deep friendship; the two had worked together to pit many people in the Void Arena and had fought together.
