Chapter 1876

In the square full of stone sculptures, flocculent objects drifted past. Because of Veronique's ability, the entire square became quiet. Amu ambushed at the edge of the square to prevent other enemies from suddenly appearing.

Su Xiao was located in the center of the square, with a stone sculpture of wings about to fly behind him. Opposite him was the black-armored guard holding double hook blades.

These two hook blades were about one meter long, and the curvature was somewhat twisted, just like two hooks that had been bent. The inside of the hook blade was the edge, and the outside was a row of barbs used to catch the enemy's weapon.

Using such strange weapons, one was either a salted fish or a true master. Clearly, the black-armored guard belonged to the latter. Although he wore full-body armor, there was no sense of clumsiness; instead, he appeared swift, agile, and powerful.

"Bashana (unknown language)."

The black-armored guard spread his arms and performed a sword salute that Su Xiao had never seen before.

BOOM!

Stone chips splashed under the black-armored guard's feet. In just an instant, the black-armored guard disappeared from Su Xiao's line of sight.

Intuition ability fully activated, a stinging pain came from Su Xiao's neck. He immediately placed Checking Zhan Long Shan horizontally beside him.

With a "clang," the sound of metal colliding formed a wave of air, cracking the surrounding stone sculptures.

Su Xiao's feet sank slightly into the ground, and blood seeped out along his shoulder.

Crack, crack, crack...

The edges rubbed against each other. Su Xiao blocked this hook blade from the right, but the shape of the hook blade was too special. This thing wasn't a straight hook, but a twisted downward curved hook. He couldn't judge the trajectory of this thing's slash in the first encounter.

Even though Su Xiao had already covered his shoulder with a crystal layer, he was still pierced by the tip of the hook blade. The wound was about three centimeters deep, which could only be considered a superficial wound.

Su Xiao was currently sticking Checking Zhan Long Shan under his arm, with the blade facing outward, blocking the continued slash of the hook blade.

But who would have thought that the black-armored guard would push the hook blade forward? This thing was C-shaped, and there was no possibility of being completely parried.

Pfft!

The hook blade pierced Su Xiao's shoulder. The black-armored guard's speed was simply too fast, so fast that Su Xiao was a beat slow when he raised his blade to block at first. If it weren't for his rich combat experience, he would have already been beheaded.

The hook blade penetrated Su Xiao's shoulder in a semi-circular stabbing trajectory, and the tip broke out from behind him. One must know that the other side of the hook blade was covered in barbs. It was easy to stab in, but if it were pulled out, it might even tear off half of Su Xiao's shoulder.

With a "click," the hook blade in the black-armored guard's other hand pushed forward, using the hook barb at the back to catch Checking Zhan Long Shan.

'Blade Dao: Blade.'

Checking Zhan Long Shan suddenly made a crisp sound, and the entire long blade erupted with blinding blue light. But the black-armored guard didn't retreat; instead, he pulled backward with force, intending to forcibly pull the hook blade out from Su Xiao's shoulder.

With a "bang" of air explosion, a residual image passed between Su Xiao and the black-armored guard, leaving a hole in the black-armored guard's right arm. It was Banishing.

The strength on the black-armored guard's arm eased. Taking this opportunity, the blue light erupted from Checking Zhan Long Shan enveloped the black-armored guard's right arm, followed by a teeth-aching cutting sound, and black armor plates splashed everywhere.

The black-armored guard jumped backward a few steps continuously. He just tilted his head to look at his right arm, which had broken off from the elbow, and the eyes under the head armor narrowed.

Su Xiao pressed Checking Zhan Long Shan against the hook blade, assumed a somewhat strange posture, and exerted force throughout his body.

With a "crack," the hook blade stabbing into Su Xiao's shoulder broke. He patted his shoulder with his hand, and the broken hook blade full of barbs pierced through his shoulder and went straight into a stone sculpture.

Su Xiao moved his right arm holding the blade. Just now, because the enemy's speed was simply too fast, he basically didn't exert the advantages that blade technique should have. If both sides were between two and five meters, Su Xiao would have more advantages. If the distance was less than one meter, the black-armored guard using strange weapons would have more advantages.

Having suffered a loss once, Su Xiao wouldn't let the other party get so close to him again. Next time, what would be pierced might be his head.

Confirming that the wound on his shoulder wouldn't affect his swinging of the blade, Su Xiao leaned forward. Before he arrived, dense blade light had already slashed toward the black-armored guard.

In an instant, blade light crisscrossed in the square, and the hook blade also slashed out silver crescent-shaped blade light.

BOOM!

Su Xiao flew out from the battle group. He landed in a half-squatting posture and slid out for more than ten meters before stopping.

Hum~

The sound of slashing came from beside Su Xiao's ear. He immediately tilted his head with all his might, but even so, he still felt a stinging pain on his cheek, and a trace of blood appeared on his face.

Located a few dozen meters from the battle group, Veronique was lying on a stone sculpture nearly ten meters high. She was currently trying hard to curl her body into a ball. She had no interest in watching the battle. Su Xiao and the black-armored guard were simply too fast. Even if Veronique tried to perceive, she still couldn't capture the figures of the two. With gods fighting, she could only hide there and shiver, praying that Su Xiao could win.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

Three stone sculptures shattered continuously. Su Xiao stood in the gravel, scanning the surroundings. The enemy's speed was fast to the point of being somewhat unsolvable. That kind of speed wasn't a constant speed, but gradually increased as the battle time extended.

It could be said that the current black-armored guard was at least three times faster than when the battle first started.

Pfft.

A trace of blood appeared on Su Xiao's chest. Before the blood trace appeared, Su Xiao had already placed Checking Zhan Long Shan horizontally in front of him. Unfortunately, it didn't completely block the hook blade.

Su Xiao thought quickly in his mind. He knew that this absolutely wouldn't work. If the enemy's speed increased a bit more, it would completely exceed the capture intensity of his intuition. At that time, he could only rely on luck to defend or kill the enemy.

The black-armored guard's speed could already have an invisibility effect. At least he had disappeared from Su Xiao's line of sight. If it weren't for the fact that the stone slabs in the square often cracked, Su Xiao wouldn't even be able to judge the approximate position of the black-armored guard.

Fighting until now, Su Xiao still couldn't figure out why the other party's speed could be so fast, even exceeding his understanding.

Slap~

A piece of gravel fell to the ground, and a stone sculpture about ten meters away from Su Xiao shattered at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing those fallen gravels, the doubts in Su Xiao's heart completely disappeared. It wasn't that the black-armored guard's speed was fast to the point of being unsolvable, but that his own speed had become slower. His nerve reflex speed, perception speed, dynamic vision, etc., had all become much slower.

The wounds on his body throbbed with pain. Su Xiao took a deep breath. There was only one chance. He couldn't solve the problem of his own slowing down for now, but he could make the enemy slow down as well.

The black-armored guard's strength was very strong, and there were several times when he almost beheaded Su Xiao. But his defense wasn't amazing, or rather, for ordinary Tier 5 contractors, the black-armored guard's defense was almost unsolvable. But for Su Xiao, who held Checking Zhan Long Shan, the black-armored guard's strong defense was a mere formality. Checking Zhan Long Shan, into which he had invested countless Paradise Coins, could definitely slash the other party to pieces.

Pfft!

Another trace of blood appeared on Su Xiao's spine. This wound was extremely deep. Without the defense of the crystal layer, it would have been enough to hurt Su Xiao's spine.

Su Xiao staggered half a step forward. Checking Zhan Long Shan flipped in his hand. He held the blade with both hands, with the tip pointing to the ground.

Call, breathe...

Everything around Su Xiao was slower, and he could even see the floating dust. Clearly, the enemy's ability could no longer be masked by the environment.

A hook blade suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiao.

'Blade Dao: Time.'

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand stabbed downward, piercing into the ground, and a ripple spread out.

BOOM!

It was like an invisible air hammer hitting Su Xiao's surroundings. The black-armored guard's figure suddenly appeared, followed by three crisp sounds of slashing metal.

Three slash marks crisscrossed in mid-air, and the black-armored guard stood still in place.

"Caught you."

The muscles on Su Xiao's right arm holding the blade bulged slightly, and he slashed toward the black-armored guard with all his might.

ZING!

A blue slash light nearly ten meters in diameter flew diagonally into the high sky, cutting off the spire of a building half a kilometer away before disappearing from sight.

Ding-a-ling~

Half of the severed hook blade fell to the ground, and black blood sprayed from the black-armored guard's throat. He knelt on one knee with a "thud," and more black blood sprayed out. The next moment, Checking Zhan Long Shan pierced through the black-armored guard's head... m.
