Chapter 2204

Maple leaves drifted, and dark clouds surged in the sky.

Rumble...

Muffled thunder exploded, a bolt of lightning struck down, a thick maple tree exploded, broken branches and leaves splattered, and flames crackled as they scorched the trunk.

The lightning was like the wrath of nature, but Su Xiao and the Iron Feather King, who were confronting each other, didn't even twitch an eyelid. A moment of distraction would mean total destruction.

The Apostle's Eye floated in the sky, transmitting the detected data to Su Xiao.

Skill 8, Self-developed Blade Spear Ability (27 types in total). Detailed data for this type of ability cannot be detected; 18 are passive, 9 are active.

Su Xiao now knew why the Northern Alliance feared the Iron Feather King so much. The Iron Feather King, when not on the battlefield, was originally the strongest in this world. lv. 43 Spear Mastery, plus 27 self-developed abilities, was fully sufficient to demonstrate his combat power.

What's more, the War King ability's control-immunity effect, combined with the Spear Mastery lv. 30 derived ability "Spear Slaughter," destined that sieges would be ineffective against the Iron Feather King.

If it were just these, the Northern Alliance wouldn't be afraid, but the Iron Feather King's Spear Mastery lv. 40 derived ability "Campaign" allowed him to exert terrifying combat power on the battlefield.

With the increase in the number of kills, the Iron Feather King's Real Strength would reach 180 points, Real Agility 170 points, and Real Stamina 177 points.

What kind of concept is this? To say that the Iron Feather King could sweep away a large area with one spear strike on the battlefield is no exaggeration. Added to the blade-spear moves he developed, one could fully imagine how terrifying he was on the battlefield.

Fortunately, this was not a battlefield, and the Iron Feather King's "Campaign" ability could not be triggered by killing. Otherwise, Su Xiao would have no chance to fight; his Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes would all be crushed.

But even the Iron Feather King, who hadn't triggered the "Campaign" effect, was equally powerful. The lv. 43 Mastery ability was not just for show. The good news was that the Iron Feather King's Mastery ability leaned more toward the battlefield, while Su Xiao often dealt with powerful individuals. Both sides had their advantages.

The lightning-struck maple tree burned fiercely, a wisp of black smoke rising and drifting diagonally into the sky.

A large burst of sparks was lifted by the wind and drifted toward Su Xiao. Just as these sparks were about to touch him, the long blade in his hand slashed forward.

"Blade Dao Blade · Green Ghost."

Zheng!

The blue blade slash broke through the air, striking the Iron Feather King at super-high speed. For an ordinary enemy, facing a Green Ghost of such speed, the first thought would definitely be to dodge. Even if they couldn't dodge, they would try their best to avoid vital points.

But the Iron Feather King showed no sign of dodging. The hooked spear in his hand flipped, and the metal hilt rested on his shoulder.

With a screech, the horizontal blade on the spear hooked the Green Ghost, directly changing its flight trajectory.

The Iron Feather King gripped the spear with both hands and swung it, directly throwing the Green Ghost back.

Su Xiao, who was charging forward, turned to the side. While dodging the Green Ghost, he unleashed an upward slash with his long blade.

Just as Su Xiao was about to strike, the Iron Feather King in front had already taken a step forward. This caused Su Xiao's pupils to shrink slightly; the warning from his Intuition reached its limit. The position he was in now was extremely dangerous!

The Iron Feather King used the momentum of flicking away the Green Ghost to swing the hooked spear forward with a whoosh. The movement was wide open and closed; this was his fighting style.

"Blade Dao Blade · Blood Blade."

Blood-colored feathers emerged around Su Xiao, and he suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

Boom!

The hooked spear slashed down, maple leaves on the ground surged, and the ground where the spear blade plunged cracked over a large area.

Although the spear strike missed, the Iron Feather King was not flustered. He pulled the hooked spear in his hand, immediately releasing the hilt with both hands, letting the hilt slide down his palms. When his hands gripped it again, he had already grabbed the middle section of the hilt.

Clang!

Sparks splashed, and the long blade struck the hilt at the end of the hooked spear. The Iron Feather King pushed the hilt, and Su Xiao immediately felt a massive force coming from the blade.

Su Xiao's body leaned back slightly, and the force from the blade entered his body. The clothing behind him bulged, and several tears were ripped in his long leather coat.

With a boom, a giant pit appeared behind Su Xiao; he had successfully neutralized the force.

Just as the giant pit exploded, Su Xiao kicked forward with one foot, heading straight for the Iron Feather King's abdomen.

Bang!

The Iron Feather King staggered back a few steps, leaning his body slightly. He blocked in front with one hand, while the other hand holding the hooked spear was behind him.

Taking this opportunity, Su Xiao slashed out three times rapidly.

"Blade Dao Blade · Absolute Nether."

The surrounding world suddenly turned pitch black. In the Iron Feather King's eyes, only three slash marks remained—the slash marks coming straight at him.

Space seemed to distort. The three blue slash marks in the Iron Feather King's eyes suddenly split, turning into a large area of slashes.

A large area of slashes struck. The Iron Feather King held the blade spear with one hand and swept it horizontally. Just as he finished half the sweep, his other hand also gripped the hilt, causing the momentum of the hooked spear to surge.

With a boom! All the slashes were swept into powder. The hooked spear grazed Su Xiao's chest, instantly breaking the defense of his epic-grade long leather coat, and a wound spanning his chest appeared. Fortunately, the wound was not deep.

With his blade technique broken, being injured was inevitable. If it weren't for Su Xiao's rich combat experience, the spear blade just now would have already swept off his head.

There is truth to the saying "one inch longer, one inch stronger," but if Su Xiao broke through the sweep of the hooked spear, Su Xiao would have the advantage. After all, the hooked spear was a long weapon, and in close quarters, it was mostly used for blocking with the hilt.

Su Xiao had just been grazed by a spear strike. The Iron Feather King's eyes widened slightly, imposing without anger. The hooked spear in his hand first swept horizontally, then turned into a vertical slash, attacking Su Xiao like a storm.

The hooked spear swept past Su Xiao's neck, but Su Xiao was unharmed; he was in a state of spatial penetration.

Seeing this, the Iron Feather King lifted his right foot and stepped directly onto the ground. An impact spread. In just an instant, he judged that Su Xiao had used a spatial ability and was about to appear behind him.

This is how battles between technique masters are; in just an instant, they can judge what the enemy wants to do, and even use the enemy's pause in moves to take their life in one strike.

In just a short engagement, Su Xiao had attempted to cut off the Iron Feather King's head 5 times. Unfortunately, all were seen through by the Iron Feather King. And the Iron Feather King had attempted to sweep Su Xiao in two with the hooked spear 4 times, but all were broken by Su Xiao.

In this dazzling contest of techniques, killing intent was hidden, and victory or defeat was truly a matter of an instant.
