Chapter 2240: Absolute Gap

~8 min read 1,448 words

The black fog surged outside the wooden house. Inside, Shangyue and Nita were standing and sitting, respectively, both motionless, because Su Xiao was blocking the doorway.

Nita shifted her gaze to look at Shangyue.

"Did you lead him here?"

"Probably... yes."

As Shangyue spoke, she stepped back slowly. Although she knew it was Nita who betrayed her on Twilight Island, these things no longer mattered.

"If we join forces..."

"Stop dreaming. He is a bigger threat to us than that Demon race guy, after all, that Demon race guy is better at defense."

Nita crouched on the ground, her appearance changing rapidly, turning into a woman with loose black hair and a scar on her chin.

Liquid silver metal surged from Nita's ring. This was her weapon, without a fixed form, but capable of forming most melee weapons.

Nita could not only simulate the appearance of others but also simulate the abilities of others. Of course, there was an upper limit to this strength. For example, if her combat power limit was 200, even if she simulated the abilities of others, her combat power couldn't exceed 200.

The situation was different; different types of abilities had large differences in combat power. This was Nita's advantage. She could simulate abilities that countered the enemy based on the different enemies.

Facing Su Xiao standing outside the wooden house, Nita didn't have very good countermeasures. She and Shangyue were blocked. The wooden house was only so big, so naturally, she simulated melee-type abilities.

Liquid metal surged on Nita's hand, eventually forming a rapier. This rapier had a blade edge, and the sword blade at the connection with the guard was 5 centimeters wide, becoming thinner as it went up, and at the tip, it was like a sharp needle with an edge.

"Sometimes being too smart... also means death? You guys..."

Nita stopped halfway through her sentence. She suddenly grabbed Shangyue's hair beside her and slammed her head into Shangyue's head.

Shangyue was stunned by the collision, very confused. She didn't understand why Nita grabbed her hair and slammed her head into her. With a great enemy in front, in Shangyue's view, Nita's actions were simply brain-damaged.

"If only I were as stupid as you."

"What exactly are you..."

"Nothing, just don't like you."

Nita grabbed Shangyue's long hair without pulling it. She stood behind Shangyue, resting her chin on Shangyue's shoulder, looking at Su Xiao standing at the door.

Nita was different from Shangyue. Shangyue belonged to the "young lady" level among the Feather tribe of the same generation. When she came to participate in the Strongest Contest, her mother opposed it, and her father agreed.

Shangyue's mother's view was: "What if my cute daughter dies?"

Shangyue's father's view was: "The Feather tribe doesn't need flowers in a greenhouse."

Therefore, Shangyue's father bore immense pressure and sent both Shangyue and her brother to participate in the Strongest Contest. No one knew if that older brother was safe.

Unlike Shangyue, the Feather tribe young lady, Nita had been mixing in various fish-and-dragon-mixed places since she was 12. To survive, she had to be unscrupulous, more cunning, more ruthless, and more cruel than those desperadoes.

Precisely because of this, Nita's life experience and her foresight of crises were much stronger than Shangyue's.

After leaving Twilight Island and arriving at the Death House, as soon as Nita saw Shangyue, she knew the situation was wrong. And when she discovered Su Xiao was also there, she was so scared her scalp was about to explode.

Demon race, Feather tribe, Law Destroyer. Nita sensed something was wrong, but she didn't dare to continue speculating, because as long as she guessed a certain possibility, everyone related to her would die, although she couldn't figure out the connection at all. Some things were simply not something she could come into contact with.

"You are truly happy. I'm jealous."

Nita pushed Shangyue away and moved her left arm, seemingly doing a pre-battle warm-up. In reality, this was the secret code the two had agreed upon in the maze; moving the left arm meant "escape."

Su Xiao extinguished the White Fat Candle in his hand, threw it to Bubu Wang, and stepped into the room.

*Zheng~*

His long blade left its sheath. Su Xiao glanced at Shangyue and then aimed his gaze at Nita.

The wooden house was not large, about 60 square meters, which wouldn't hinder Su Xiao's blade swings.

At this moment, the only equipment Su Xiao used for combat was the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. However, the other participants didn't have much equipment they could use either. For example, Shangyue only had a feather garment that was a transcendental item, and Nita only had the rapier in her hand.

With a *bang*, Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from where he was, appearing in front of Nita the next moment, his long blade slashing down.

*Clang! *

Sparks splashed. Nita, who was blocking with both hands, nearly knelt on the ground directly.

*Click, click, click... *

The blade edges rubbed, the long blade pressed down, and the blade edge gradually pressed toward Nita's shoulder, eventually slowly sinking into flesh.

"Ah!"

Nita pushed the rapier forward with all her might. Unfortunately, the absolute gap in strength and technique couldn't be made up by her roar.

Rapid footsteps came from the side. Su Xiao didn't even look. Strength was born from the soles of his feet. While exerting force with the long blade in his hand, he delivered a straight kick.

With a *bang*, Nita was kicked flying, hitting the wooden wall behind her.

"Blade Dao Blade · Time."

The impact spread. Shangyue, who had rushed to Su Xiao's side, suddenly slowed down, and the black feathers around her slowly stabbed forward.

*Zheng~*

The long blade slashed past. Shangyue only felt a chill in her chest, and the black feather garment on her body was broken. Fortunately, the feather garment helped her block most of the slashing force.

"Nothing."

Nita, who was crouching against the wooden wall, pale-faced due to difficulty breathing, slapped the ground. Almost simultaneously, a round, translucent creature appeared beside Su Xiao, covered in yellow patterns, with the character "1" written on its round belly.

As this round creature appeared, Su Xiao felt his hand go empty, and the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan became semi-transparent, suspended one meter above the ground.

The Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan had been sent to an alien space.

Thinking of this possibility, Su Xiao's right arm entered a state of spatial penetration, gripping the hilt of the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.

*Crackling~*

Golden electric arcs appeared. Su Xiao's right arm lost sensation and exited the state of spatial penetration.

The reason Nita simulated her current appearance was that she wanted to use this ability to deal with Su Xiao, thereby making Su Xiao temporarily unable to use his weapon.

"While..."

Before Nita's words could come out, a wind-breaking sound came head-on.

*Boom! *

A fist wrapped in a crystal layer slammed into Nita's chest, blasting her against the wooden wall behind her.

Nita spat out a large mouthful of acid, immediately feeling a sense of dizziness, and then hit something.

With a cry of pain, Nita bumped into Shangyue, causing her to stagger. Before the two could stabilize their figures, a whimpering sound came from ahead.

Nita's rapier was thrown by Su Xiao, breaking through a wave of air in mid-air, and directly pierced through Nita's lower abdomen, pinning her to the wall behind.

Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy surged on Su Xiao's hand. He grabbed the semi-transparent round creature beside him and squeezed it hard.

*Pop. *

Like a balloon bursting, the round creature was crushed by Su Xiao. This thing was composed of energy, so it could be captured by Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy. Clearly, Nita only knew about Law Destroyers but was not clear about the ability characteristics of Law Destroyers.

Su Xiao's right arm raised, the long blade hummed, and the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan flew back, being gripped in his hand.

At this moment, the positions of both sides were reversed. Su Xiao was on the inner side of the wooden house, while Shangyue and Nita were one at the door and the other pinned to the wall.

Nita was completely desperate. Two against one not only had no advantage but was instead beaten to the ground. She couldn't even see any hope of winning. ===== CHAPTER 2241 =====

Nita was completely desperate; not only did she have no advantage in a two-on-one fight, but she was instead being pinned to the ground and hammered. She couldn't even see any hope of winning.
