Chapter 1755: Single Combat

The area within a few hundred meters turned into frozen soil. Sin had just been frozen when cracks appeared on the ice layer on his body.

Su Xiao disappeared from the spot, appearing again beside Sin.

Ding!

An energy spear stabbed behind Sin. Clearly, he thought Su Xiao had moved behind him.

Pfft!

Dragon Flash pierced through Sin's neck, the blade tip stained with blood. Almost at the same time, the spear in Sin's hand broke through the ice and stabbed toward Su Xiao's head.

Su Xiao just tilted his head to dodge the spear, when an energy-composed Death Penalty: Twilight appeared behind him, piercing through his spine and stopping only after stabbing into the ground in front of him. Intense pain and burning sensation came from inside Su Xiao's chest. He couldn't help but lower his head and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

Inside the ice layer, a smile appeared on Sin's face. He gripped his hand virtually, intending to detonate the Death Penalty: Twilight that had pierced Su Xiao.

Blood energy gathered above Su Xiao, instantly forming a blood beast with a body length of ten meters and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Roar!

The blood beast pounced on Sin. From formation to pouncing, the whole process took less than a second.

Boom!

Blood energy exploded. Su Xiao's ears buzzed, and he was blown away by the incoming wind pressure. In mid-air, he gathered a stream of Qing Gang Ying energy on his hand and punched to shatter the Death Penalty: Twilight that had pierced him.

Su Xiao just landed when a sense of weakness struck. He and Sin had fought for about five minutes, but they had fought exceptionally fiercely.

The blood energy slowly dissipated. Sin, holding the metal spear with one hand, stood in place. Unlike the last time he endured the blood beast, this time the blood beast formed more suddenly, and Sin didn't even have time to wrap his soul power inside his body to protect himself.

Blood sprayed from Sin's severed arm. His left arm only had a small section left, and the minced meat and bones at the wound were exceptionally ferocious. Looking at his face, if they weren't still fighting, Su Xiao wouldn't have recognized this as Sin.

The flesh on Sin's face cracked in large patches, and one could even see the white skull.

"I, have, not, been defeated."

Sin stepped forward with great difficulty. Cold air surged around. Su Xiao took out a bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine and drank it slowly. Amu, holding a cold ice shield, met Sin.

Two minutes later.

Bang!

The cold ice shield in Amu's hand shattered. It had at least a dozen piercing wounds on its body.

Behind Amu, Su Xiao bandaged his chest, rushed forward in a few steps, the blade rang crisply, and he slashed Sin back with one blade.

Sin retreated five or six steps, blood dripping from

Facts proved that numbers + knowledge = power. Su Xiao was indeed no match for Zui'e in a one-on-one duel, so he simply wouldn't duel him. Knowing he couldn't win and still forcing a 1v1 was a very stupid act, so he had Amu lie in ambush nearby and lured Zui'e over.

What followed was much simpler: Su Xiao first fought Zui'e to a mutual injury, then Amu entered the fray to drag Zui'e down. Su Xiao took the opportunity to use recovery items, applying bandages to stop the bleeding. Once he had recovered sufficiently, they swapped places again.

Blade flashes crisscrossed and a storm of gunfire erupted. Su Xiao and Zui'e clashed once more. Unlike before, this time it was Su Xiao suppressing Zui'e.

Five minutes later, Su Xiao slashed Zui'e back. Amu, holding the cold ice warhammer, stepped forward with an unstoppable momentum, missing only a shout: "Wrestling with a bull? You'll get a taste of the bull's balls!"

After two rounds (Round: Su Xiao and Amu taking turns beating Zui'e), Zui'e staggered back a few steps. As he gasped for air, fresh blood dripped down the corners of his mouth.

"You didn't have to come here to die. I'm curious about the reason you took the initiative to find me."

Su Xiao stepped closer to Zui'e. As for his question, it was merely to distract the other party.

"Why come find you? Perhaps to... find peace in my heart."

Zui'e grinned, revealing teeth stained with blood.

Hearing his words, Su Xiao's footsteps paused. After a moment of hesitation, he put away the D·Assassination in his hand.

"Come."

Su Xiao beckoned to Zui'e with his finger.

"Good."

Zui'e took a deep breath. The next moment, he let out a roar and charged at Su Xiao like a fierce ghost. This was likely his final battle.

Su Xiao's body leaned slightly forward and suddenly vanished, leaving a line of blood in mid-air. The crisp sound of the strike carried far.

Puchi!

Blood sprayed several meters away. Zui'e collapsed to the ground. He raised his arm and glanced at the metal spear that had already been severed.

Su Xiao stood behind Zui'e, raised his long blade, and slashed down without hesitation. A head flew into the air.

【You have killed Zui'e·Boierni.】

【Zui'e·Boierni was the leader of the Ghost Ring. You have obtained 15.9% of the World's Source.】

【You have obtained an Epic-grade treasure chest (37%).】

【You have obtained the Secret Codex Card: Slaughter and Redemption.】

【Hint: The Hunter has obtained 113.2% of the World's Source. Convert it into a World Seed? Completing this conversion requires consuming 100% of the World's Source.】

【World Seed: Can significantly increase the comprehensive evaluation during settlement in any world.】

【Hint: The Hunter has exceeded 100% of the World's Source for the first time. You have obtained the following information.】

【If the World's Source exceeds 100%, it can be converted into a World Seed.】

【If the World's Source exceeds 150%, you will receive a World-class treasure chest reward. This is an extra reward and does not require consuming the World's Source to convert.】

【Hint: World-class treasure chests can only be obtained through three channels.】

【1. Chance to obtain when experiencing a Trial World; this is a special reward for Trial Worlds.】

【2. Kill highly influential plot characters within any world.】

【3. After obtaining 150% of the World's Source, an additional World-class treasure chest will be awarded.】

A treasure chest and a Secret Codex Card appeared beside Zui'e's corpse. Su Xiao was clearly somewhat surprised; it was his first time seeing an enemy drop two treasure chests. If not used to exchange for Secret Codex merits, the Secret Codex Card: Slaughter and Redemption could also be opened like a treasure chest.

This was the first time Su Xiao knew of the existence of a World Seed. As long as the World's Source reached 100%, it could be converted into a World Seed.

Undoubtedly, the effect of the World Seed was exceptionally powerful; it could improve the settlement evaluation of any world, meaning even high-tier worlds were included.

The essential difference between a World Seed and the World's Source was that no matter how much World's Source Su Xiao obtained, it would be collected by the Reincarnation Paradise during world settlement. The World Seed was different; it could be used freely or even sold.

The higher the tier of the Qiyuezhe, the more willing they were to purchase World Seeds. If sold to a Qiyuezhe of the seventh tier or above, it would absolutely sell for an exorbitant, sky-high price.

If it were any other world, Su Xiao would likely have endured a low evaluation to obtain a World Seed. The Ghoul World was different; this concerned the new ability of the Shadow of Law Destruction.

Not only that, Su Xiao also learned a very important piece of information: if the World's Source exceeded 150%, he would receive a World-class treasure chest reward, and it was an extra reward that did not require consuming the already obtained World's Source to convert.

Su Xiao had previously obtained two World-class treasure chests; one was White quality, and the other was of unknown quality.

Su Xiao first obtained this item back in the Pirate World, which was his first Trial World. After killing a king, he obtained a World-class treasure chest, and upon opening it, he received the 【World Tree Ring】. It was precisely because of this that he obtained the inheritance of the Shadow of Law Destruction.

At that time, Su Xiao was not aware of the existence of World-class treasure chests, and that chest only displayed White quality. After all, Su Xiao's authority was too low at the time to learn about World-class treasure chests.

Arriving before Zui'e's corpse, Su Xiao picked up Zui'e's body and head. As an opponent, he prepared to bury Zui'e, but there was no time to dig a pit right now. There was a river nearby, so a water burial by throwing him in wouldn't be bad.

However, Su Xiao overlooked one point: a water burial is actually about the same as throwing someone into the river to feed the fish.

Just as Su Xiao picked up Zui'e's body, a round object rolled out from Zui'e's tattered clothing. It looked like a black eyeball.
