Chapter 1972: Pretending to be Mysterious

With a "thud," the headless corpse of the crew-cut man fell to the ground.

Green phosphorus fire burned. Just after the battle, Su Xiao, holding a long sword with red light in his eyes, stood among the flames.

【You have killed Soul Spirit Sword Man.】

【You have obtained 2.6% of the world's source. You currently have 12.3% of the world's source.】

【Your talent "Soul Eater" has been activated, permanently increasing mana by 50 points.】

【You have obtained an Epic Treasure Chest (40%).】

Su Xiao looked at the Eagle Marquis's corpse not far away, thought for a moment, stepped forward, picked up the corpse, and walked out of the restaurant.

Five minutes later, Su Xiao, holding the "Blade Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan," walked out of the hotel, with a dripping large cloth bag in his other hand.

The streets in the surrounding area were surprisingly quiet. The Eagle Marquis's troops didn't come to reinforce, and the city's security forces didn't arrive at the scene. The only carriage on the street was the one Su Xiao came in.

Boom!

Another explosion came from inside the hotel, burning wooden boards splashed, and the entire hotel was gradually swallowed by flames.

The little adjutant was sitting on the roof of the carriage. Her left cheek was swollen, as if she had a walnut in her cheek, and she was muttering something.

【Hidden Mission: Fall of the Eagle (Completed).】

【You have obtained a Random Treasure Chest (can obtain items, equipment, skill scrolls, etc., of white to??? quality from the random treasure chest).】

The hidden mission was completed, but what Su Xiao needed to do wasn't finished yet. The Eagle Marquis kidnapped the Soul Speaker, and now the Soul Speaker was in a manor.

The carriage drove out of the port quickly, heading straight for the Eagle Marquis's manor.

10 minutes later, the carriage entered the courtyard of the manor. At this time, corpses were lying in the manor.

The Eagle Castle was pitch black. Just as Su Xiao entered the first floor of the Eagle Castle, dozens of Moon Apostles rushed toward him. Of course, there wouldn't be such a coincidence in the world. When Su Xiao attacked the Snus Hotel, he had already sent Crow's Eye people to watch the Eagle Castle.

Su Xiao had just attacked the Snus Hotel, and a group of Moon Apostles came to attack the Eagle Castle. However, they didn't expect Su Xiao to kill the Eagle Marquis so quickly.

"Leave the person."

Su Xiao raised the "Blade Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan" and pointed at a figure held by the Moon Apostles. This figure was wearing a wrinkled robe, and the head was wrapped in cloth strips. This was highly likely the Soul Speaker.

But Su Xiao vaguely felt something was wrong. A person like the Moon Goddess shouldn't be "greedy" to this extent.

"Impossible."

A man with short brown hair and a dozen nose rings and earrings spoke. One of the Moon Apostles behind him was about to speak, but Su Xiao on the opposite side had already drawn his sword.

Su Xiao drew the long sword from his waist, and the ear-ring Moon Apostle's arms stretched outward, and two half-meter-long arm blades popped out from his sleeves.

Boom!

Su Xiao and the Moon Apostle disappeared at the same time, followed by a crisp sound of metal clashing.

A shockwave spread with Su Xiao and the Moon Apostle as the center point. Cracks instantly appeared on the walls in the front hall, and the glass shattered.

Su Xiao and the Moon Apostle were both somewhat surprised, but it was only for a moment.

Ding, ding, ding...

The slashes spread, fast enough to dazzle the eyes. The sharp blade light pierced through the outer wall and disappeared into the night, unstoppable.

Clang!

Su Xiao blocked the arm blade, and the other arm blade of the ear-ring Moon Apostle stabbed over, heading straight for Su Xiao's jaw.

Su Xiao didn't dodge but kicked straight.

Bang!

The ear-ring Moon Apostle staggered back two steps. The next moment, he crossed the arm blade in front of his neck. The huge force from the slash made him almost kneel on one knee.

"Blade Dao Sword · Time."

The long sword in Su Xiao's hand flipped, and he stabbed the ground with one sword. The arm blade that slashed back slowed down.

"Blade Dao Sword · Blue Ghost."

Su Xiao was just about to slash, but he had an exceptionally wonderful feeling. It was one of the ultimate abilities of the Sword Technique Grandmaster, the "Blade's Extreme" ability was passively triggered.

A blue blade light that was fast to the limit slashed out, blood splashed, and an arm flew up.

The ear-ring Moon Apostle retreated more than ten steps before stopping. His teeth were clattering in his mouth. That expression looked like he could go berserk at any time.

"My lord, calm down."

"Quick, the lord is about to lose control."

A Moon Apostle took out a very primitive syringe and injected it into the back of their leader's neck.

An unknown potion was injected into the body, and the expression on the Moon Apostle leader's face gradually calmed down. He didn't reveal his trump card, and Su Xiao was the same.

"Be careful of 'bursting'."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing his words, the Moon Apostle leader's face turned very ugly.

"The ones who should be careful of 'bursting' are you guys. Go."

Hearing this, the few Moon Apostles holding the Soul Speaker threw him to the ground and walked past Su Xiao, led by the Moon Apostle leader.

Everyone present knew that this matter couldn't be made big. If two people fought, it could be counted as a "personal grudge." If all those Moon Apostles took action, then the Crow's Eye outside the Eagle Castle wasn't a vegetarian either. By then, the scene would be impossible to clean up.

Su Xiao came to the Soul Speaker, tore off the cloth strips on the other party's head, and then, no hint appeared.

This was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a piece of dirty rag stuffed in his mouth.

Su Xiao pulled out the dirty rag from the middle-aged man's mouth, and the middle-aged man retched.

"Commander Kuku Lin, you are truly a good person. To save me in this situation, I am truly..."

The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with tears, and Su Xiao frowned.

"You aren't the Soul Speaker?"

"I, I am not. They are in the dungeon."

"Then who are you?"

"I am the butler, Butler Liver K. Have you forgotten me?"

"..."

Su Xiao was clearly astonished for a moment.

"Adjutant, go call those Moon Apostles back."

Su Xiao's brows furrowed deeper. He felt that the guy who fought just now was indeed very strong, but he was an idiot.

"Alright."

The little adjutant ran forward and arrived at the entrance of Eagle Castle.

"Hey, Moon, ah ptooey, suspicious personnel over there."

The little adjutant was also very clever, knowing that tonight's conflict couldn't escalate to the level of the Ninth Unit Commander fighting the Moon Apostle leader.

Those dozens of Moon Apostles stopped, and some of them had particularly ugly faces. The little adjutant's "suspicious personnel" was too heart-piercing.

"You guys come back, seems like we fought the wrong person."

Hearing this, the Moon Apostle leader was clearly stunned for two seconds. His arm was cut off, and the enemy actually told him he fought the wrong person?!

Su Xiao also came to the main entrance and threw the middle-aged man in his hand toward those Moon Apostles. These people were also unlucky; just saying the Soul Speaker was in the underground dungeon would have been enough, but they had to pretend to be mysterious.

The butler Liver K, with a face full of confusion, rolled in front of a group of Moon Apostles. His mouth opened and closed. From hell to heaven, and then back to hell, the ups and downs made him want to die.

"Kuku Lin."

The Moon Apostle leader spoke through gritted teeth, feeling great humiliation in his heart.

"My, my lord, we seem to have forgotten to clarify... the Soul Speaker is still in the dungeon."

"?"

The Moon Apostle leader stared with wide eyes, glaring at his subordinate.

"We, just now, reminded, him!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my lord is right."

"And, I, this arm, was broken in the melee, it wasn't cut by Kuku Lin at all, understand?"

The Moon Apostle leader looked around at his subordinates with eyes that could eat people. Tonight's matter was truly too damn shameful.

"My lord is brave."

Another heart-piercing compliment.

"Take the person, go!"

Leaving this sentence, the Moon Apostle leader, whose facial muscles were trembling, turned and left. He had confronted Su Xiao just now, and Su Xiao's aura inevitably made him see the hunter and be happy. He protected the Moon Goddess in the capital and didn't know how long it had been since he encountered such an opponent, so he forgot about that matter.

"This idiot."

In this murderous atmosphere, Su Xiao couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Entering the interior of Eagle Castle, Su Xiao soon found the dungeon. In the dungeon, an old woman was locked up. She was bowing her head, muttering something. This temperament was the only one that fit the Soul Speaker. ===== CHAPTER 1973 =====
