Chapter 1878

~11 min read 2,149 words

Apollo's activation time was 25 seconds, and it had already been activated for 5 seconds.

Sss~

Blue smoke rose from Su Xiao's hand. Even though he wrapped his right hand with a crystal layer, he could still feel the temperature emitted by Apollo, and the temperature was getting higher and higher.

Su Xiao was currently about 2.3 kilometers, or 2300 meters, away from the artificial river. If he threw it with all his might, he could make Apollo's flight speed reach about 800 to 900 meters per second, which was supersonic.

With Su Xiao's strength, he could actually throw Apollo at a faster speed, and over 1000 meters per second would be no problem, but accuracy was a problem.

To throw it accurately to a designated area, Apollo's flight speed of 400 meters per second was the limit. If it were faster, heaven knows where it would land.

Calculating at 400 meters per second, if Su Xiao wanted Apollo to explode instantly upon landing, he would need to throw it about 5 seconds before the explosion.

Apollo activated rapidly in Su Xiao's hand, and the golden light flame scorched his cheeks, causing a stinging pain.

9, 8, 7, time's up!

Su Xiao arched his body slightly, adjusted his orientation, and threw Apollo when it had 5.3 seconds left before exploding.

BOOM!

Apollo broke through a layer of air waves, leaving a golden tail flame in the air as it flew toward the artificial river.

Su Xiao didn't look at the explosion scene of Apollo, but walked quickly through the houses to meet up with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Veronique, and then directly crossed the building complex, trying to bypass the explosion area. It went without saying that the loud noise produced after Apollo's explosion would definitely attract a large number of residents of the Dead Silence City, and the explosion point was an absolute restricted area.

After walking quickly through the houses for a few seconds, a loud bang came from afar. Su Xiao could only see half a golden fireball.

Apollo's explosion range increased rapidly. Within the solar flame, residents of the Dead Silence City like Tree-Eaters wailed and turned into ashes.

Just as Apollo's explosion range expanded to 1500 meters, a woman with snow-white long hair and a black robe fell from the sky.

The surrounding air twisted rapidly, and the expanding solar flame stopped for an instant.

BOOM!

Another explosion, and the white-haired woman flew backward. The solar flame continued to expand, but the momentum slowed down a lot. After expanding about 1700 meters, it stopped and began to show signs of dissipating.

The loud noise of Apollo's explosion spread throughout most of the Dead Silence City. The Dead Silence City was like a beehive that had been fiercely stabbed. Residents of the Dead Silence City with different appearances rushed out of their houses and began to surround Apollo's explosion point.

On the east side of the Dead Silence City, about three kilometers from the explosion point, Su Xiao, Amu, and Veronique were hiding in a two-story stone building, observing the bottom through iron bars. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was even acting like a sculpture on the stone roof.

The ground was vibrating slightly. Su Xiao knew that he absolutely couldn't go out now. Outside, it was simply a monster meeting. Monsters he could beat and monsters he couldn't beat were running past the stone building one after another.

"Woof~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's bark came from the roof. Su Xiao grabbed Veronique by the back of her collar and jumped out of the stone building.

Just after landing, Su Xiao rushed toward the artificial river. The Apollo he had just detonated was, first, to reap the Dark Source, and second, to attract the attention of the Tree-Eaters, thereby creating a breakthrough on the riverbank defense line.

Su Xiao soon rushed to the artificial river, and he could still see the rising solar flame in the distance.

Sure enough, because of the loud noise just now, the Tree-Eaters by the artificial river were attracted away. The downside was that more than half of the residents in the Dead Silence City were awakened.

Su Xiao jumped over the artificial river. Just as he was about to rush into the tall building complex ahead, an aura appeared from ahead.

What was even more fatal was that a roaring sound came from the other side of the artificial river. This was the third wave of residents arriving.

"Living one."

A woman with white hair and a long robe jumped down from above the building. Her skin was abnormally fair. This was very likely a resident of the Dead Silence City, and very strong, strong enough that Su Xiao felt a sense of crisis that made his hair stand on end.

BOOM!

The white-haired woman appeared in front of Su Xiao. The long blade in Su Xiao's hand slashed out diagonally.

CLANG!

Checking Zhan Long Shan felt like it had slashed onto an extremely hard piece of metal. The white-haired woman actually grabbed Checking Zhan Long Shan with her bare hands, but even if she was a big boss, Checking Zhan Long Shan still pierced through the skin of her palm.

"A Saint Cultivator?"

The white-haired woman smiled, but the smile was somewhat stiff.

Blood energy gathered above Su Xiao, but just as it gathered halfway, he felt a heavy blow to his chest.

Crack!

Ribs fractured, and Su Xiao's HP dropped to 16% in an instant, almost directly near death. The effect of 【Day: King's Reincarnation】 was triggered, allowing Su Xiao's body to regain sensation. This effect was far stronger than recovery potions; it was simply a god-tier life-saving skill.

"Amu, take that woman and retreat."

After leaving this sentence in the team channel, Su Xiao forcibly controlled Amu, letting it carry Veronique and rush toward the building complex in the central area of the Dead Silence City.

'Absolute Shadow.'

Suddenly, everything around Su Xiao slowed down. He pulled Checking Zhan Long Shan with all his might, leaving a trace of blood on the white-haired woman's hand, and jumped backward a few steps, about ten meters away from the enemy.

Checking Zhan Long Shan's blade turned black-blue. Su Xiao leaned forward slightly, with the tip of the blade pointing diagonally to the ground.

'Flash!'

The long blade made a crisp sound, and a blue slash line swept directly past the white-haired woman. The air around her made a "crack, crack" sound, as if it could shatter at any time.

ZING.

Countless slash lights enveloped the white-haired woman, so dense that they formed a sphere.

The terrifying slash ended. Su Xiao held the scabbard in one hand and the blade in the other, slowly sheathing the blade. With a "click," the long blade returned to the scabbard.

Crack, crack, crack...

It seemed as if an invisible big blade had slashed three times out of thin air, and huge slash marks crisscrossed on the white-haired woman.

With a "crack," the aura that had blocked the surroundings shattered, and everything around it exploded like a mirror.

The white-haired woman stood in place. There were three bloodstains on the clothes on her chest, revealing female features that weren't exactly plump.

The white-haired woman's fingers brushed across her chest, and bloodstains were stained on her fingers.

"A very good Saint Cultivator, it's a pity that you're a bit weak."

As the white-haired woman spoke, she disappeared from where she was. When she appeared again, she was beside Su Xiao. Su Xiao had just used the near-perfect Absolute Shadow Flash, and his whole body was somewhat exhausted. Having invested so many Paradise Coins to develop it, the power of Absolute Shadow Flash didn't disappoint Su Xiao. Unfortunately, the enemy was simply too strong. This white-haired woman was clearly much stronger than Prisoner: Hera, only a line weaker than Day King: Eders.

"Are you not afraid of death?"

The white-haired woman looked at Su Xiao. Greeting her was a sharp long blade.

Ding.

Checking Zhan Long Shan stabbed into the white-haired woman's palm, unable to move an inch after entering less than a centimeter.

"You have spirit, it's a pity you're a living person."

The white-haired woman's fingers hooked. Just at this moment, Banishing stabbed toward the white-haired woman's back of the neck. She waved her hand, and her slender fingers knocked Banishing away.

Spatial fluctuations appeared, and Su Xiao disappeared from where he was. The white-haired woman's hand was faster than a residual image, grabbing directly one meter in front of her.

Pfft.

Blood sprayed out, and Su Xiao was actually pulled out from the spatial crack!

Su Xiao's chest felt like it was burning. He felt that this time, he was definitely going to die.

A terrifying fluctuation spread with Su Xiao as the center point. He held an Apollo in his hand. If he held Apollo, he only needed to pierce his mental power directly into it to complete an instant explosion. But Su Xiao basically had no possibility of survival; he was too severely injured.

The white-haired woman had just experienced the terrifying power of Apollo, so she moved several times to stay away from Su Xiao. Sometimes, being fearless of death can lead to survival.

Su Xiao, of course, wouldn't commit suicide meaninglessly. Seeing this, he jumped toward the artificial river with all his might.

With a "plop," Su Xiao fell into the water. Just as the white-haired woman was about to pursue, the sound of tables and chairs breaking came from the auditorium behind her, as if something had smashed into the auditorium.

Inside the auditorium, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sat and shattered a bench, put away the large water bottle and blood bag in its hand, and blended into the environment.

In less than a second, the white-haired woman appeared in the auditorium. She knew Su Xiao had spatial abilities.

Looking at the shattered bench and the bloodstains nearby, she closed her grey-white eyes and began to perceive carefully.

Seeing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang penetrated the wall, made a sound in the house ten meters away, and left water stains and some blood.

By the artificial river, Su Xiao supported himself on the riverbed with his arms. After climbing ashore, he walked quickly into a towering building in the central area. He now saw double images when looking at things.

If Su Xiao's physique wasn't tough enough, the woman's punch just now would have been a punch through even for a Tier 5 main tank, killing them instantly on the spot.

"Didn't die, made a profit."

Su Xiao used his thumb to push the fractured ribs on his chest diagonally, so that the broken bones wouldn't press against his lungs.

About ten seconds later, the white-haired woman returned to the artificial river. Seeing the water stains and bloodstains leading to the central area, she smashed her fist in front of her.

BOOM!

A loud noise came from the air, and the surrounding area shook.

The white-haired woman disappeared from where she was, leaving only a few drops of blood that were red with a hint of gold on the ground. This woman actually still had some characteristics of a living person.

In a pitch-black secret room, Su Xiao sat on the ground against the wall. Only then did he have time to check the Reincarnation Paradise hint.

【You have obtained 17.8% of the Dark Source.】

Apollo's explosion killed many residents of the Dead Silence City. Besides the Dark Source, there should have been many treasure chests, but those treasure chests could only be abandoned. One could imagine the density of the residents of the Dead Silence City in that area after the explosion. Even Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wouldn't dare to approach there easily.

Su Xiao spat out bloody saliva. Although the narrow escape just now was thrilling, he didn't know how many times he had experienced such situations. And he also discovered one point, which was that the white-haired woman only had simple strength and speed, and seemed to have no bizarre abilities.

Since the other party didn't kill him, he was ready to find a way to kill that guy. Su Xiao never held a grudge overnight. If he couldn't beat them in melee, he would snipe them remotely. With Veronique as a living silencer, it wasn't completely impossible. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was responsible for attracting attention and going to "show off," while Su Xiao sniped remotely. A range of 6000 meters was safe enough. If one shot didn't kill them, then ten shots; if ten shots didn't kill them, then one hundred shots. He now had 128 special energy bullets of 12.67mm.

If one hundred shots still didn't kill them, Su Xiao would also feel very relieved, and then change to a target he could deal with to make up for the loss.
