Chapter 2122

~10 min read 1,812 words

In the night, 64 rule-breakers led by Molly were quickly leaping across the rooftops. A few minutes ago, Sfink had a face-to-face negotiation with them, bringing two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The bad news was that their communication channel had been invaded and was now forcibly closed. Sfink promised that the communication channel would be restored in at most one hour.

And the good news was that the enemy had charged over directly. The other party was being eroded by darkness and was no longer the old schemer he once was.

Sfink explained Su Xiao's hunting from last night in detail to the rule-breakers and, through clues, perfected Su Xiao's "crude" layout.

The events of last night could not be faked. The rule-breakers had received the voice and text in the communication channel. After Sfink's explanation, they suddenly realized. Indeed, if the other party were still an old schemer, he wouldn't be this reckless. Last night, they were only a step away from eliminating him, but the other party retreated, clearly still having some sanity.

And tonight, the other party came again, and it was a frontal attack.

Upon learning this good news, Sfink emphasized many times not to swarm up all at once. Once the other party had large-scale weapons, equipment, or explosives, everyone would die.

More than 60 Tier 6 rule-breakers would be enough to take Su Xiao's life, and there wouldn't be too many casualties. This was information obtained after actual combat and was worth believing.

Therefore, Sfink used a lottery to divide the 192 rule-breakers on his side into three teams, 64 people each, divided into three groups to intercept and kill Su Xiao in turn.

As for the interception order of these three teams, it was of course decided by lottery + signing a Tree Contract. Whichever team intercepted Su Xiao first would bear higher risks.

If it were truly dealing with a Su Xiao who had been eroded by darkness and whose killing intent suppressed his sanity, Sfink's arrangement would have no problems, still steady and ruthless.

Unfortunately, that was not the case. Su Xiao's sanity had not been eroded by darkness; the Daughter of Sorrow could help him clear the darkness.

After Sfink explained this to the rule-breakers face-to-face, some rule-breakers raised objections, but in the end, the minority obeyed the majority.

The fact was that the rule-breakers' communication channel hadn't been invaded at all; Su Xiao was not good at that aspect.

Don't forget, this communication channel was provided by Sfink. Right now, it was Sfink who had actively closed the communication channel.

As for why Sfink did this, it was because ten minutes ago, he had witnessed the explosion of Apollo: Modified with his own eyes through a certain ability of his confidant.

If the communication channel were still open, a large number of rule-breakers dying simultaneously would immediately alert the others. Who would still listen to him, Sfink?

Therefore, the moment the first wave of rule-breakers was blown up by Apollo, the communication channel was forcibly closed by Sfink.

After Sfink determined the quantity of Apollo: Modified Su Xiao was carrying, he immediately judged that if the other party charged over directly, he would be finished, with no possibility of survival.

Sfink had vaguely sensed the existence of Bubu Wang. If he dared to run away directly, he would most likely be caught up by Su Xiao, and an Apollo would be stuffed into his mouth, Boom~

Therefore, Sfink used the rule-breakers as scapegoats, letting them block Su Xiao and consume the Apollo: Modified.

From this, it can be seen how ruthless a heart was hidden under Sfink's gentle appearance. To block Su Xiao, he could sacrifice everyone, except Connie.

"Damn alchemist."

On the roof of a five-story stone building, Sfink chuckled.

"Let's go quickly. Didn't you just say that if we don't leave, the bomb will be stuffed into our mouths?"

Connie dragged the hem of Sfink's white suit and pulled backward hard.

"That 'follower dog' won't die, we can't get away, and he also has a magic hawk."

Sfink spoke in a calm tone.

"Then what should we do? Fight him? I probably... can't beat him."

"Wait here."

A strange light appeared in Sfink's eyes. He was preparing to reveal a trump card.

In the central area of Aisenla, Su Xiao was looking at the rule-breakers in front of him with confusion. He was wondering why these people came to group up to die? And why were they so orderly about it?

Although he was puzzled, the movements in Su Xiao's hands were not slow at all.

Crack~

A glass column was crushed by Su Xiao. Gripping the Apollo: Modified in his hand, he made a throwing posture.

"Scatter!"

"Sfink, I f*** your whole..."

"Wait! (Molly, in a desperate, cracking voice)"

Bang!

Apollo broke through a layer of air waves and flew toward the group of rule-breakers who were scattering. Although they intended to scatter and flee at the first encounter, the range of Apollo: Modified was not as small as they imagined.

The length of a family car is about 3.8 meters, and the explosion diameter of Apollo: Modified is 300 meters, equivalent to 79 family cars arranged vertically. Even though the rule-breakers were extremely fast, the moment they met, Su Xiao had already activated an Apollo: Modified in advance. Throwing it meant an instant explosion. Before entering the 300-meter range, the rule-breakers could not sense the danger.

Boom!

Sun fire erupted, forming a huge fireball. Most of the Qiyuezhe within the range were instantly incinerated into gas.

A main tank stood in the sun flame. At this time, only a skeleton remained, the shield in his hand glowing red-hot. The next moment, this skeleton turned into fly ash, and the shield was stuck in the ashes below.

The surrounding night faded away. Apollo dispelled the darkness, as if purifying everything. The result of believing in the sun is turning into ash.

With a thud, Molly, with blue smoke curling from her back, collapsed to the ground. She struggled to stand up, but the burns on her back were too severe. However, she had received the news in advance, and she was standing at the very front of the queue, looking like she was ready to duel Su Xiao, so she wasn't fully affected, with only a trace of sun flame burning her back.

Of the 64 rule-breakers, after one encounter, only the 17 fastest survived. But even so, their fighting spirit was blown away. Anyone who wasn't blind could see that the enemy still had seven such explosives. Seven! How desperate.

Bang!

Another Apollo: Modified was thrown out by Su Xiao. The rule-breakers who had just stood up from the impact only felt a flash of white before their eyes, not even letting out a scream.

Boom~

Another loud noise, and the sun flame exploded. Of these 17 people, only 3 survived, one of whom was Molly lying in the ruins. The second one basically didn't affect her.

"Cough, cough..."

A rule-breaker with most of his body charred and sparks flashing knelt on the ground. He could determine that he wouldn't live for more than a few seconds; the subsequent burn damage was too terrifying.

As for the last person, this guy had space abilities and was of the type inclined toward rapid movement.

With a swish, an orange-red light beam attacked from afar. The bullet pierced directly through the head of the space-type rule-breaker, blowing his entire head to pieces.

The headless corpse rushed forward a few more steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao understood exactly what the situation was. Sfink let these rule-breakers come to die to consume his Apollo: Modified.

Tactically speaking, if the rule-breakers were in small squads of 20, charging at Su Xiao in waves, they would soon consume all the Apollo: Modified. But the rule-breakers weren't fools; if the number was below a certain level, they wouldn't come to intercept Su Xiao at all.

It was for this reason that Sfink chose the most reasonable squad of 64, so the rule-breakers wouldn't be suspicious and would consume as many of Su Xiao's Apollo: Modified as possible.

For this, Sfink didn't hesitate to let his confidant help Su Xiao silence them.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao rushed to Molly in a few steps. Black-blue smoke clung to Zhan Long Shan. This was not the ability of the Magic Blade, but the energy smoke produced after opening part of the Devouring Core.

Puchi!

The long blade pierced through Molly's back and into the ground. After Molly "hard-resisted" Apollo, she took another slash from Su Xiao, piercing straight through her "heart".

"Die quickly."

Su Xiao whispered. Hearing this, Molly, who was already desperate, immediately understood what was going on. If it weren't for the special situation, she would definitely have said with a sobbing voice: "Big brother, you actually still remember that I'm on your side. You used such a terrifying thing to blow up your own personal healer, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"You... bastard!"

Gold-red energy clung to Molly's right arm. With a boom, the nearby ground exploded, and Su Xiao was shaken back.

Molly slowly stood up from the ground, clutching the wound on her chest, black-blue smoke surging from the wound.

"Is this... the end?"

Molly staggered back a few steps, looked up at the full moon in the sky, looking like a female warrior at the end of her road, and finally collapsed to the ground.

This scene was, of course, for the sniper in the distance to see.

Su Xiao's idea was to stab Molly's "heart" once, and it would be over if she just died honestly.

But who would have thought that Molly liked to add drama to herself, wanting to struggle a bit before "dying".

Except for Molly, all 64 rule-breakers who intercepted Su Xiao this time were dead. They didn't just lose to the terrifying power of Apollo; what was more dangerous was actually the few stabs Sfink gave them behind their backs.

"Three stabs and six holes make true brothers"—that's exactly what Sfink is.
