Chapter 1843

The conference hall was a mess. A corpse knelt on the long wooden table that had almost completely collapsed. In the corner and under the window, several corpses were lying.

The Old Mystic didn't come to reinforce Su Xiao. He was protecting Princess Pedera's safety with the Ahoge King. Once Princess Pedera was harmed, it would also cause Su Xiao quite a bit of trouble. Although he could look for the next puppet, Bloomer would definitely throw a wrench in the works.

With a crack, Su Xiao snapped the throat of an assassin dressed like a beggar, as thin as a hemp stalk, and threw the corpse aside.

Su Xiao's gaze scanned the surroundings. The warning of his intuition told him that there were still assassins. The seven people just now were more like probes; those with real strength were all hidden in the dark.

Except for the fake maid who appeared first and a man who could shield his own aura, the other five assassins were dead men. Knowing they were no match for Su Xiao, they still lunged forward without fear of death.

Except for the sound of dripping blood, the room was dead silent. Discovering this situation, Su Xiao tore off a piece of curtain, wiped the blood off the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, and then sheathed the long sword, as if he thought the battle was over.

Bang, bang, bang...

The seven corpses in the room all exploded, and the blood condensed together in mid-air, turning into a blood wolf.

Several sharp spikes made of blood pierced out from the blood wolf's spine. After turning two right angles in mid-air, they headed straight for Su Xiao.

Su Xiao retreated one step while turning sideways. The blood spikes pierced past his chest and behind his lower legs, missing. Who would have thought that these two blood spikes would actually turn several times and directly wrap around Su Xiao's legs and chest/abdomen.

In the manor's courtyard, a bald, muscular man opened his eyes, his body and face covered in blood-colored tattoos, making it impossible to see his appearance.

"Got him."

"Understood."

A chuckle came from the shadows behind the bald, muscular man. A man with gray-white skin, bare-chested, and wearing a bone-tooth necklace walked out of the shadows. His skin was gray-white. This attire was clearly that of a border alien. The Empire called them barbarians, barbarians who ate raw meat and drank blood, living in tribes.

"Father of the Earth, lend me strength."

The barbarian put his hands together, and the soil under his feet surged as if it had come alive, invisible.

"Hurry, that guy's strength is practically a monster."

The veins on the bald, muscular man's neck bulged, and his empty hands were trembling.

"Ready."

The barbarian's pupils turned earthy yellow. Upon receiving his reply, the bald, muscular man gave a low shout.

At the same time, inside the conference hall.

Blood lines as thick as arms wrapped Su Xiao inside. These blood lines collapsed one by one, but quickly gathered together again.

Suddenly, these blood lines became bright red and dazzling, and the binding force suddenly increased.

Bang!

A lithe figure crashed through the inner wall of the conference hall. Amidst the flying gravel, the assassin held a crystal-clear war hammer.

"Heavy Cannon!"

The lithe female warrior rushed to Su Xiao's side, swinging the bucket-sized hammer head horizontally, making a whimpering sound of breaking through the air.

Su Xiao blocked with one arm at his side, and a crystal layer clung to his left arm.

Dong!

The air wave spread, and all the glass in the conference hall shattered. Su Xiao was hammered away with a swoosh, crashing through the outer wall and flying toward the courtyard at high speed.

In mid-air, Su Xiao shook his slightly numb left arm. Finally, someone he could look up to had arrived. The previous assassins were too weak, making him unable to raise any interest at all.

Boom!

Soil and grass clippings flew around, and a large pit was crashed into the flat lawn.

Before the soil could land, the barbarian who had been lying in ambush in the courtyard raised his hands above his head, his eyes flashing with dark yellow light.

The surrounding earth surged, and soil mixed with some kind of energy rose up, covering the large pit.

"Fast!"

The barbarian roared, and the bald, muscular man had already stepped forward. Blood rolled out from the conference hall in the distance, clinging to his right arm.

"Morosh."

As the muscular man roared, the muscles all over his body bulged several times, and his arm wrapped in blood clenched into a fist, slamming toward a mound of earth.

Before the muscular man's fist could land, a figure had already appeared above the mound of earth. It was the female warrior. She held the crystal-clear war hammer high above her head and smashed it down with all her might.

After a roar that shook the earth, both the muscular man and the female warrior were pushed back by the shockwave. One was panting heavily while covering his right arm, and the other was holding the war hammer against the ground, both arms trembling slightly.

Dust rose dozens of meters high, and the three assassins stared closely into the dust.

Ka ba~

A crisp sound came, and the night wind blew. The dust was gradually blown away. The target of the three was standing in the dust, protected by an oval shield formed by dozens of crystal armor plates. The crisp sound just now was the shield gradually cracking.

"Is that it?"

Su Xiao waved his arm lightly, his knuckles tapping on the counter-attack shield. The counter-attack shield shattered at the sound. After obtaining the Slaughter Shadow ability, the energy shield's defense had multiplied. After resisting the ultimate moves of the three assassins head-on, the counter-attack shield hadn't even shattered.

"That... can't be."

The female warrior smiled somewhat reluctantly, looking at the bald, muscular man beside her.

"Retreat..."

As soon as the muscular man finished speaking, a sonic boom came from behind him. He immediately leaned forward to dodge, but nothing pierced through.

In the female warrior's astonishment, the bald, muscular man covered his throat with both hands, falling to the ground in pain, his legs kicking wildly on the ground, his body covered in green grass branches.

Puchi~

Pieces of broken blades broke out from the muscular man's chest, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

The Exile returned to its hiltless needle form and didn't attack the female warrior, but after a sharp turn, it attacked the barbarian who had already escaped more than ten meters away.

The female warrior just wanted to turn and retreat, but her footsteps stopped. A pair of eyes flashing with blue light were looking at her.

"Bullshit."

The female warrior stepped on the ground, wiped the blood off her face, and roared as she rushed toward Su Xiao, as beautiful and tragic as a moth flying into a flame.

Five minutes later, the bare-chested barbarian leaned against the corner of the courtyard wall, covering his bleeding throat with one hand. The Exile pierced through his brow, pinning him to the stone wall. A half-crippled hunting dog was tearing at his chest. This hunting dog was the only one left of the dozen hunting dogs; the others had all been poisoned by the assassins. This one hadn't died, only because it had the lowest status among its kind and usually hid in the dog hole.

Slash marks were everywhere in the courtyard. A war hammer with one-third of its head slashed off stood on the ground, the broken edge as smooth as a mirror. This energy weapon was slowly dissipating. Not far from it, there was a severed arm. The skin of this severed arm was relatively delicate, and the muscle contours could be vaguely seen.

"Apart from you, there are no other assassins?"

Su Xiao squatted in front of the female warrior. The female warrior, who only had her left hand and right leg left, was lying on the ground, pinned to the ground by the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan piercing through her torso.

The female warrior looked up at Su Xiao with anger in her eyes, chewing on something in her mouth. The pain distorted her face, and blood dripped down the corners of her mouth.

"Still thought Bloomer would give me some surprise. Not a single one can fight, making me wait in vain until ten o'clock."

Su Xiao yawned as he spoke. With his physical fitness, even if he didn't sleep for a dozen days, it wouldn't be a problem, but he was used to sleeping appropriately every day. This allowed him to maintain peak combat power at all times, as well as a clear mind, which was also quite helpful for his usual realization of sword skills.
