Chapter 1632: The Slaughterer

Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from where he was, dodging a huge dark gravity fist. This thing not only had strong gravity, but its periphery was also attached with attraction. Dodging it by jumping to the side was almost impossible. Fortunately, his Dragon Shadow Flash ability was strong enough.

Blood energy surged from Su Xiao's body, quickly wrapping around Checking Zhan Long Shan, his body crouching low.

Bang! An air explosion spread, the ground under Su Xiao's feet shattered, and he disappeared from where he was, his speed exceeding the limit. A red blood line streaked across; at this moment, the surroundings seemed to darken.

Stan stood where he was, not moving. He was just about to make a defensive gesture with his hands, but unfortunately, it was already too late. A metal armor plate blocked in front of his heart. This metal armor plate had already been slashed open, and at the same time, Stan's chest had also been slashed open. Through the wound, one could clearly see his beating heart, and a trace of blood appeared on that strong heart.

If it weren't for the obstruction of this armor plate, Su Xiao's Shadow Flash slash wouldn't have been as simple as just slashing open Stan's chest. The defensive power of this armor plate was extremely astonishing; it had once blocked Su Xiao's bullets attached with demon power.

Fresh blood overflowed from the corners of Stan's mouth. Regardless of anything else, he had blocked Su Xiao's slash. Based on his experience, this terrifying slash was definitely an ultimate-type ability, its speed fast enough to break through the dark gravity field, and its lethality extremely astonishing.

Just as Stan thought he had withstood this slash, that terrifying momentum came from behind him again.

Clang.

The long blade rang crisply, and another blood line slashed across. A large area of the dark gravity field around Stan dissipated. This was a side effect of the Dark Metal Domain; once the enemy's attack intensity exceeded the domain's tolerance limit, the Dark Metal Domain would go dormant for 10 to 15 seconds.

Intense pain came from Stan's back. He staggered a few steps, his dark golden eyes looking at Su Xiao. Two consecutive Shadow Flashes; if he didn't die, then it would be Su Xiao's turn to die.

Just as the Dark Metal Domain disappeared, Su Xiao had already appeared at Stan's side, slashing horizontally with his blade. The tip of the blade just happened to graze Stan's neck. The wound wasn't deep, but a strand of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy surged into Stan's body, and there were other things within this Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy.

Stan tilted his head to dodge, as if something had invaded his body, invading his body together with that energy that would burn his mana.

The scene before Stan's eyes suddenly changed. Su Xiao disappeared, and that dilapidated basement also disappeared. He arrived in a misty space, and a figure holding a long blade walked toward him.

Stan subconsciously wanted to activate the Dark Metal Domain, but he was surprised to find that there was no change in the surroundings. Not only that, his "body" was also a bit strange, becoming ethereal. Just at this moment, that figure had already arrived before him.

With a swish, the long blade fluttering with black-blue mist slashed across Stan's throat. Stan's body gradually faded, eventually dissipating. Compared to the Blade Demon Spirit within Checking Zhan Long Shan, Stan's soul strength was completely unworthy of mention. The scene Stan saw was merely a scene within his own consciousness space; it was precisely because of this that he couldn't use the Dark Metal Domain.

Demon Blade: When attacking an enemy unit with health below 25%, one can release the Blade Demon Spirit within Checking Zhan Long Shan. The Blade Demon Spirit will use the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy to invade the enemy's body, causing a killing effect on the enemy that ignores resistance, ignores immunity, and ignores defense.

In reality, Stan stood tall where he was, not moving. Those dark golden eyes had already turned gray-white, with faint traces of shattering.

A strand of black-blue energy surged from Stan's wound, eventually merging into Checking Zhan Long Shan. Su Xiao, holding Checking Zhan Long Shan, had a very strange feeling, which was that Dragon Shadow Flash seemed to be full.

Noticing this, the corners of Su Xiao's eyes twitched. If he hadn't guessed wrong, the Blade Demon Spirit within Checking Zhan Long Shan should have devoured Stan's soul.

Stan was dead; one could tell from those pupils that looked like shattered glass, but he hadn't fallen, because the leader of the Blood Gate was not allowed to be defeated. Even if he were defeated by chance, he could not fall.

Just as Stan died, Su Xiao took out a small syringe the length of a finger. As his fingers pushed slowly, the medicine within the small syringe was injected into his palm. During battle, the enemy would never give him the opportunity to drink recovery potions. This kind of small syringe that could be injected quickly and was not easily noticed was the best choice.

If Su Xiao didn't inject the medicine in time, once the "Unyielding" effect of the Hunter of Hunters expired, he would fall into a near-death state, and then there would be no possibility of defeating Nai Luo Yi.

The process of him slashing Stan seemed simple, but in reality, it wasn't. First, he changed the form of the Hunter of Hunters, gaining the effect bonus of the "Unyielding" ability. This ensured that he could continue to fight for 20 seconds when his health was very low, so as to avoid falling into a near-death state.

After that, he pressed his health below 35%, used Shadow Flash twice in a row to slash Stan half to death, and finally used the Blade Demon Spirit within Checking Zhan Long Shan to invade Stan's body, causing a killing effect on Stan, leaving the opponent without even a chance to fight to the death. This was the power of killing-type abilities.

Su Xiao checked the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise to confirm whether Stan was dead. After seeing the prompt "You have killed Some Qiyuezhe No. 10009," Su Xiao's gaze began to scan the basement. Unfortunately, Nai Luo Yi was nowhere to be found.

Nai Luo Yi had escaped. In fact, according to her temper, she should have died in battle here, but after being kicked into the wall by Su Xiao, she had just stood up when she saw a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Su Xiao had killed Stan in three slashes, the whole process taking no more than 2 seconds. One had to know that Stan's impression in Nai Luo Yi's heart was powerful and iron-blooded, with power occupying the majority, or rather, after Stan became a Tier 2 contractor, Nai Luo Yi didn't quite recognize this man who had once been her husband. That feeling of being both familiar and strange made her heart feel a mix of five flavors.

Such a powerful Stan had been slaughtered by Su Xiao in three slashes like killing a chicken or a dog. This contrast made Nai Luo Yi feel fear. She was afraid, so she escaped.

Inside a clothing store in Fuyuki City, Nai Luo Yi leaned inside the bar counter. She raised that trembling lone arm, her teeth clenching and making clicking sounds. Originally, she thought she would never fear anything again, but today, she felt fear toward a man holding a long blade whose aura was like a vicious beast.

"I've already lost even the qualifications to fight that guy. Damn it."

Nai Luo Yi bit down on her own lone arm. The pain made her arm stop trembling. By this time, there was no need to consider whether Stan's method of controlling the adventure group was correct. Once Stan fell, the Blood Gate would disintegrate in a very short time. By then, the enemies Stan had made would come looking for Nai Luo Yi when they couldn't find Stan.

Inside the basement, the light blue energy on Su Xiao's body dissipated, and a feeling of weakness struck. He had finally resolved his confidant enemy, Stan. As for the escaped Nai Luo Yi, if there was an opportunity, Su Xiao would go and slaughter the opponent; if there was no opportunity, he wouldn't take the initiative to hunt the opponent down like he had plotted against Stan. He wasn't even afraid of Stan, let alone the escaped Nai Luo Yi.

Jumping out from the hole above the basement and walking on the street, Su Xiao felt a sense of relief in his heart. He had formed a grudge with Stan when he was Tier 2, and now he had finally resolved this confidant enemy.

The bright moon hung high. Just as Su Xiao was walking on the street, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【Prompt: The Hunter has killed the leader of a large adventure group. You have obtained the temporary title "Team Slaughterer."】

【The "Team Slaughterer" title is mandatory to wear and will last for three derived worlds.】

【The "Team Slaughterer" title has no attributes, cannot be unequipped, cannot be traded, and cannot be destroyed. This title will disappear after the Hunter experiences three derived worlds.】

【During the period of wearing the "Team Slaughterer" title, when the Hunter has a conflict with any contractor, the enemy contractor will receive a warning and learn the specific origin of the "Team Slaughterer" title.】

Seeing the "Team Slaughterer" title, Su Xiao knew that this could be considered a protection mechanism of Reincarnation Paradise for adventure groups. After all, he had slaughtered the leader of a large adventure group. With such a criminal record, in the next three derived worlds, once he fought with other contractors, the other party would immediately receive a warning.

One could imagine the situation then; those contractors, upon learning that Su Xiao had slaughtered the leader of a large adventure group, would turn and flee ten times out of nine, provided they weren't brain-damaged. ===== CHAPTER 1633 =====
