Chapter 1733: IQ Suppression

The distance between Su Xiao and Distortion closed rapidly. When the distance reached two meters, Su Xiao swung his blade for a forward slash.

Checking Zhan Long Shan whined as it tore through the air. Facing this menacing slash, Distortion didn't care at all, directly pouncing toward Su Xiao. This was to take Su Xiao's slash head-on and pounce Su Xiao to the ground.

Su Xiao stopped abruptly in place, leaping backward while slashing forward.

With a rip, like a piece of cloth being torn, Checking Zhan Long Shan slashed across Distortion's forearm. The skin and flesh were slashed open, but it didn't damage the bone. If it were a previous enemy, they would have had their forearm slashed off by Su Xiao.

The tactile sensation of the slash traveled from the hilt to Su Xiao's hand. This slash felt like slashing into an extremely tough piece of rubber. The deeper he slashed, the stronger the resistance.

Clang~

The blade rang, followed by a roar. Mud splashed, and Distortion pounced into empty air. Su Xiao was in the middle of a backward leap.

Although it pounced into empty air, Distortion bared its full mouth of sharp teeth. It was by no means as dull as it looked.

A large piece of mud attacked Su Xiao. This mud carried powerful kinetic energy, almost identical to the power of a shotgun.

Su Xiao disappeared abruptly from where he was. The next moment, Distortion felt a chill on the back of its neck, followed by a stinging pain. Distortion in the strange beast state had pain perception, but this was not a bad thing; pain perception was also the most basic early warning.

The big claw carrying a fishy smell swung backward. Su Xiao stepped on Distortion's back neck and leaped away nimbly.

Su Xiao landed and shook the blood off his blade. He appeared to be suppressing Distortion, but he knew clearly in his heart that if he were grabbed by this monster, without Dragon Shadow Flash, it would be difficult to survive. It was very dangerous just now.

The long blade slashed virtually, and the blade light left the blade. Distortion, rushing toward him, didn't care at all and crashed directly into the blade light.

Boom!

Su Xiao leaped sideways. Distortion pounced into empty air again. While in mid-air, Su Xiao slashed repeatedly, and more than a dozen blade lights blocked the rushing Distortion.

Pouncing into empty air three times in a row, Distortion's upper body was already covered in scars. Su Xiao took the opportunity to glance at Distortion's remaining HP—still 82%. This was because Checking Zhan Long Shan was sharp enough; otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have to slash.

Distortion spat out the mud in its mouth, and its baring sharp teeth mouth split into a strange angle. It seemed to be laughing. Clearly, this monster liked the feeling of battle.

Su Xiao's peripheral vision looked toward the distant broken wall. Amu was hiding on it. It couldn't show up yet. One was that the help to the battle was not very big. Against Distortion, it wasn't a question of whether it could hold on or not. The other was to prevent other contractors from coming to stir up trouble.

The muscles on Distortion's body surged, and it slowly arched its body. Seeing this action, Su Xiao felt his hair stand on end.

Boom!

Like a cannonball exploding under Distortion's feet, it pounced toward Su Xiao for the fourth time. Unlike the first three times, Distortion's pouncing speed suddenly increased by a large margin, actually dragging out an afterimage.

Skill 7, Pounce (Active, Lv. 40): Can be used in strange beast state. Distortion recklessly pounces on the enemy and gains increased dash speed in a short time. Using this ability consumes 6% of maximum HP. If HP is insufficient, Distortion will die.

Su Xiao leaped sideways immediately. With a thud, Distortion almost pressed him to the ground. However, Distortion, which had pounced into empty air for the fourth time, made an action: it took a long breath.

"ROAR!!"

Layers of sound waves diffused. Su Xiao's ears buzzed, and dense heavy shadows appeared before his eyes.

In the instant before his consciousness blurred, Su Xiao formed an energy shield beside him. This was to avoid Distortion taking the opportunity to grab him.

The world before Su Xiao's eyes became colorful. The sound wave just now was a physical control, equivalent to a heavy object hitting his head, producing a dizzying effect. Blade Technique Master naturally couldn't exempt it.

When the heavy shadows before Su Xiao's eyes faded a bit, severe pain came from his ribs, and an irresistible giant force appeared, followed by a feeling of weightlessness.

Su Xiao flew out with a whoosh. When he recovered his sobriety, his whole body's bones felt like they were about to fall apart. He was lying in a dirt pit, and the smell of fresh mud around him explained that this dirt pit was just plowed by him.

The next moment, a black shadow pressed down. Su Xiao raised his hand and patted the mud beneath him, leaping out of the dirt pit with the help of the reaction force.

Boom!

Sin smashed into the dirt pit, letting out an angry low roar. A pool of blood gradually appeared under its feet.

"Hoo~"

Su Xiao let out a long breath and looked down at his side ribs. Four claw marks appeared, and part of the skin and flesh were slapped away. Crystal layers were still clinging to the nearby skin.

A bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He crushed the crystal bottle directly, letting the medicine drip onto the wound. Although the recovery effect was not obvious, it could at least relieve the pain. A ball of green light sank into Su Xiao's body—it was Bubu Wang, who was hiding in the dark, healing him.

Glancing at Distortion's HP, there was less than 70% left. It was already very fast. As long as it was below 25%, it would be Su Xiao's victory. As for Distortion's ability to fight until death, it looked awesome, but in front of Su Xiao, who possessed execution ability, that ability was useless.

Although Su Xiao was almost pounced and killed by Distortion on the spot, the risk of the subsequent battle was reduced a lot.

After confirming that there was no major damage to important organs, Su Xiao rushed to Distortion's side in a few steps.

Clang.

The long blade directly greeted Distortion's throat. Distortion blocked with one arm, and the other claw greeted Su Xiao's face.

Su Xiao suddenly let go of Checking Zhan Long Shan and let Checking Zhan Long Shan flip in mid-air, the hilt facing Distortion. His footsteps shifted, bypassing to Distortion's side, and he leaped up.

Distortion seemed a bit confused, but it grabbed the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan, intending to slash Su Xiao. But the next moment, it was stunned in place. If the one fighting Su Xiao was Sin, the other party would never touch Checking Zhan Long Shan. This was clearly a trap.

"ROAR!!"

Distortion let out a painful roar, with large bloodshot eyes emerging. After Checking Zhan Long Shan completed the Blade Awakening, it wasn't something anyone could hold. The Blade Demon energy inside the blade was originally called Blade Demon energy.

Leaping in mid-air, a light blue crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's hands. He punched at high speed, greeting Distortion's head with a high-speed combination punch.

Actually, Su Xiao didn't want to leap up, but Distortion's height was three and a half meters. If he didn't leap up, he couldn't hit the head at all.

After being hit by more than a dozen punches in a row, Distortion was clearly beaten into a daze. Out of instinct, it let go of Checking Zhan Long Shan in its hand.

Su Xiao hooked his finger, and Checking Zhan Long Shan flew back into his hand. The long blade stabbed forward.

Pfft!

The blade tip stabbed into Distortion's neck, sinking in a large chunk. At the same time, Su Xiao took out a test tube with a small amount of dark green solution inside.

Su Xiao threw the test tube at Distortion, then pulled his blade and leaped backward.

The test tube shattered, and the green solution inside spilled onto Distortion's chest. With a whoosh, green flames ignited—it was 【Underworld Flame·Hades】, but only a small amount.

The confusion in Distortion's eyes disappeared. The next moment, it let out a miserable scream and began to roll on the ground, intending to transform. The pain of being burned by Hades was not something that could be endured just by strong willpower.

Taking this opportunity, Su Xiao stepped forward and slashed Distortion more than a dozen times. Blood flew everywhere. Distortion failed to transform, but it took Su Xiao's slashes head-on and bit toward Su Xiao's chest and abdomen. It was impossible to retreat now.

With a snap, crystal layer fragments splashed. Distortion's big mouth bit Su Xiao's chest and abdomen, but Su Xiao's chest and abdomen were already clinging to the crystal layer.

At this time, Su Xiao had a fierce look in his eyes. He pressed Distortion's head with one hand, and the Checking Zhan Long Shan in the other hand pressed against Distortion's neck.

With a slash, the blade cut open the throat. Distortion was burned by Hades to the point of being unable to bear it, swung its body to throw Su Xiao away, and began to drill into the mud.

Hades in the initial burning state was not inextinguishable, but its power could not be underestimated. When Distortion crawled out of the mud, the bright blade slashed down.

Blood splashed, Distortion's body paused, and the luster in its eyes faded rapidly. It was killed by the Demon Blade ability.
