Chapter 1708: Sin

"Phew~"

Su Xiao spat out a mist of blood. Irregular blood-colored patterns spread from his collar, finally stopping at his chin. If one looked closely, one would find that these blood-colored patterns were slowly receding downward. When this thing completely disappeared, Su Xiao's true intelligence attribute would recover, and the extra HP recovery effect would disappear.

Click, click...

The ground under Su Xiao's feet cracked. He made a forward-leaning movement, and the next moment he disappeared from the spot, appearing in front of a Ghoul.

This was a seven-eye Ghoul about 1.7 meters tall. Clearly, it was a female Ghoul. Purple light surged in its eyes, and two claws attacked Su Xiao's chest.

Pfft!

Blood splattered. Su Xiao's chest was clawed with several intersecting marks, and the female seven-eye Ghoul stood blankly in front of Su Xiao, its body twitching unconsciously. Zhan Long Shan pierced into its mouth and went straight through the back of its head.

Su Xiao grabbed the seven-eye Ghoul's shoulder and lifted it up. The long sword slashed sideways, and blood sprayed along the side of the female Ghoul's face. The Ghoul lifted in mid-air kicked its legs, and it was cold.

Several Ghouls rushing toward Su Xiao stopped one after another, looking at each other, somewhat dumbfounded. Su Xiao's way of killing enemies was too fierce—not the sword he stabbed, but that he didn't care about the enemy's attack at all.

Sizzle~

A wisp of white smoke drifted from Su Xiao's chest. With the defense of this legendary-grade long leather coat 【Wild Hunt Night】, the wound wasn't as deep as imagined.

Su Xiao threw down the corpse in his hand and looked sideways at the Ghouls around him, secretly regretting in his heart. If these Ghouls had pounced just now, he could have killed them all in a few seconds while bearing heavy injuries.

In the courtyard of the Wild Boar Manor.

Bang!

Amu was kicked away by Sin. Drops of blood splattered in the air, and the blood froze into granular particles before it even landed. Sin's gaze looked into the distance. Although he wanted to solve Su Xiao with other Ghouls, Amu and Xiang Bubu Wang were not decorations. Ignoring them would also come at a considerable price.

Sin was very strong, but Amu wasn't so easy to be solved. It looked like it would die at any time after being stabbed into a hedgehog by the white-green energy spear, but it just didn't die. As a tank, Amu was much harder to kill than imagined.

Sin shook the blood off his leather boots and walked slowly to Amu, stepping on Amu's back with his brown leather boots. An energy spear materialized in his hand.

"This time, that dog can't save you."

Sin raised the energy spear in his hand and stabbed it toward Amu's head without hesitation.

"Woof howl~"

A long howl spread. This sound immediately attracted Sin's attention. The only thought in his heart was, this hateful dog, kill it!

Woof Howl (Passive

Even in a critical situation, Xiang Bubu Wang's contingency strategy remained flamboyant.

Splat!

An energy spear pierced through Xiang Bubu Wang's lower back and out from its buttocks. Xiang Bubu Wang nearly fainted from the pain; if it could speak, it would surely roar in anger, wondering why it was always its buttocks that got injured in every battle—this dog was not convinced.

After taking a hit, Xiang Bubu Wang merged back into the environment. Stepping on Amu's Sinful Hand, he manifested another energy spear. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes; it had been a perfect opportunity to kill the enemy, so why had he acted on impulse and stabbed that dog?

Just as Sinful was about to kill Amu, he suddenly felt a hair-raising sense of dread. This feeling came from beneath his feet. Almost out of instinct, he kicked Amu in the side, intending to send Amu flying.

Crack, crack, crack...

Ice spread, and a large block of ice appeared. Amu, holding Apollo in its hand, looked up at Sinful. The meaning was clear: if we die, we die together.

With a crisp snap, Sinful broke free from the ice layer and leaped backward repeatedly.

Amu stood up from the ground. It had been stepped on by Sinful not because it was completely exhausted, but because it was waiting for the enemy to use an energy spear at close range. At that moment, it would show the opponent what an impenetrable defense was and find an opportunity to severely wound the enemy. Unfortunately, the plan failed; it was completely exhausted after being stepped on. As the proposer of this bad idea, Xiang Bubu Wang also suffered the consequences.

Drip, drip...

Fresh blood dripped onto the lawn. Su Xiao, holding his long blade, walked into the courtyard. A clear claw mark could be seen on his left cheek, but it was fading rapidly and would soon heal.

Following Su Xiao's control, the Apollo in Amu's hand stopped activating, and he signaled for Amu to go to the side of the courtyard to recover from its injuries.

"Sending Lucas to assassinate you seems to have been a wrong decision."

Sinful took off his leather coat. Wearing a slim-fit white shirt, he didn't look at all like a human disguised by a Ghoul, but rather like a human nobleman.

Su Xiao didn't speak; he just stopped ten paces in front of Sinful, the Apostle's Eye floating in mid-air.

【Comparing both parties' intelligence attributes... Comparison complete. Our intelligence attribute is 1.04 times that of the enemy, obtaining 94% of the enemy's data.】

Data is as follows:

Name: Sinful

Category: Ghoul/Human

Position: Ghost Ring Leader

Health: 98.5%

Soul Power: 7253/9700 points

Strength: 105 (Real attribute)

Agility: 107 (Real attribute)

Stamina: 90 (Real attribute)

Intelligence: 92 (Real attribute)

Charisma: 59

Skill 1, Ghoul Leader (Passive, lv. 61): Health +4000 points, immune to control effects derived from 110 points of intelligence/charisma attributes, possesses absolute control over Ghouls below ten eyes.

Skill 2, Soul Power (Passive, lv. 47): Due to the Ghoul's unique constitution, the intelligence attribute will derive Soul Power; no mana value.

Skill 3, Spear Mastery (Passive, lv. 27): Increases spear-type weapon attack power by 470%, nerve reflex speed +30%, weapon penetration +107 points, and carries a severe bleeding effect.

Skill 4, Spear Mastery lv. 10 derivative ability · Penetration: When throwing the energy spear "Death Penalty · Twilight," Death Penalty · Twilight can consume its own energy to reduce the enemy's defense. When the enemy's defense is lower than 30 points, Death Penalty · Twilight will penetrate the enemy.

Skill 5, Spear Mastery lv. 20 derivative ability · Undying: If Sinful falls into a near-death state, he will ignore physical load, and the spear's lethality will increase by two times; the effect lasts for 20 seconds.

Skill 6, Death Penalty · Twilight (Active, lv. 50): An energy weapon formed from Soul Power, possessing Epic-tier weapon attack power and strength, extremely difficult to destroy.

Skill 7, Half-breed (Passive, lv. 40): Sinful is a human-Ghoul half-breed. While he cannot Ghoulify, he possesses all the abilities and physical qualities of a Ghoul (Sinful is currently equivalent to a thirteen-eyed Ghoul).

Skill 8, Soul Vortex (Ultimate ability, lv. 40): Due to special reasons, this ability cannot be investigated.

Clearly, Su Xiao's luck was both good and bad. This was the first Ghost Ring stronghold he had cleared, yet here he encountered the leader of the Ghost Ring, the half-breed Ghoul known as Sinful. Su Xiao had never heard of Ghouls and humans being able to produce offspring; even if it were possible, it would be a human male + female Ghoul.

Thinking of the capricious appearance of female Ghouls, Su Xiao couldn't help but sigh; Sinful's father was a ruthless man.

Not to mention how fierce Sinful's father was, Sinful himself was definitely a boss-level existence. His attributes were similar to Su Xiao's, but his various abilities were perversely strong, especially that Spear Mastery lv. 27.
