Chapter 2278

Three spiral swords floated beside Dilin. She grabbed one, nocked it on the bow, pulled the string, and aimed at Su Xiao using the groove on the spiral sword as a sight.

Bang!

Like a muffled thunderclap, the spiral sword broke through layers of air waves and shot toward Su Xiao, leaving a wisp of golden light in the air along the way.

Su Xiao, in the middle of his charge, dodged sideways. The spiral sword grazed past him and finally shot into the transparent light wall behind, smashing it directly.

Behind the light wall, some spectators with poor psychological resilience leaned back subconsciously. Dilin's sword shot was truly a bit stimulating.

Dilin transformed from a melee mage into a parkour-style archer. She was nominally a spellcaster, but her physical fitness was very strong, and her speed was only a notch slower than Su Xiao's. Coupled with the spiral swords being shot out one after another, Dilin had room to maneuver.

Had Dilin seen through life and death? Was she prepared to perish together with Su Xiao? Or was she disheartened because the things she held onto had been broken?

Not at all. Dilin was stalling for time. She hadn't collapsed when the things she originally held onto were broken, so how could she give up the hope of living now?

Dilin was trying to drag this out for 5 minutes and then forfeit directly. She had already let her mentor know one thing: Li-element could not suppress Law-Breakers. For this reason, she was not prepared to pay the price of her life.

As for the previous talk of perishing together with Su Xiao, that was a strategy Dilin had devised; only in this way could she possibly last five minutes.

"The battle is very intense. Dilin, as a spellcaster, is fighting the Law-Breaker to a standstill~"

Commentator Hake's voice grew lower and lower. He had originally wanted to be more passionate, but the battle on the field didn't allow it. Dilin, wearing a red mage robe, scurried around everywhere. As long as Su Xiao approached within 20 meters of her, she would manifest a large number of Li-element weapons and bombard Su Xiao with them all at once.

Dilin was not only scurrying around, she also used Li-element to manifest a pair of wings. Once Su Xiao approached within 15 meters of her, she immediately used this pair of wings to fly at low altitude.

Bang!

After Su Xiao slashed a spiral sword to pieces, he stopped his steps and looked at Dilin, who was dozens of meters away.

The wings behind Dilin flapped. Upon discovering that Su Xiao had stopped, the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Don't call me shameless; this is tactics."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Blue light flashed in his eyes, and the split-state Exile manifested behind Dilin, cutting through an afterimage and attacking the back of Dilin's head.

Dilin's Li-element wings shifted, and she tilted her head with all her might, barely dodging Exile. Exile suddenly split into dust-sized particles.

"Li·Resonance Explosion."

The shockwave spread with Dilin as the center point, knocking away the split-state Exile. Seraphia had fought with previous generations of Law-Breakers and certainly had methods to deal with Exile.

Exile was formed by the Slaughter Shadow ability and was the basic form of Slaughter Shadow. Exile in this form was not yet very strong.

The strength of Slaughter Shadow lay in its developability. Su Xiao had once obtained the branch ability of Slaughter Shadow, 'Soul Scythe Form', but because he hadn't obtained the Soul Severing Shadow ability yet, he couldn't master this form.

Exile was the initial form of Slaughter Shadow, and Soul Scythe was the form obtained after the first stage of development. As for whether there were stronger forms later, it was currently unknown.

Dilin was stalled by Exile for an instant. For Su Xiao, this instant was enough. Dilin's other abilities were average, but she was very good at running away.

Su Xiao suddenly appeared behind Dilin, the long blade in his hand slashing toward Dilin's neck.

Clang!

A rapier was held horizontally behind Dilin. Although it blocked Checking Zhan Long Shan, slight cracks appeared on the blade of the rapier.

Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy spread along the rapier, coming into contact with the longbow in Dilin's other hand and the Li-element wings behind her.

With a snap, all the Li-element Dilin had manifested shattered, causing her to start falling.

While in mid-air, Su Xiao kicked sideways, striking Dilin's rear ribs. Dilin only felt a dull pain in half of her torso and heard a crisp sound of a rib breaking.

Dilin flew out with a whoosh, not stopping until she hit the light wall a hundred meters ahead.

The moment Su Xiao landed, he charged out like a cannonball leaving the chamber. By the time he covered the hundred-meter distance, Dilin had just landed.

The long blade thrust forward. Dilin almost subconsciously raised her hand to generate a Li-element shield; this was her combat instinct, but it was precisely this instinct she usually relied on that harmed her now.

Checking Zhan Long Shan pierced through the Li-element shield without any obstruction and pierced through Dilin's shoulder, only stopping when the blade tip struck the light wall behind.

"Ah!!"

Dilin roared, full of tomboy spirit. Fresh blood dripped down her chin as she clenched her right hand.

Splat.

Half of Dilin's right arm flew up. Su Xiao took the opportunity to kick straight, striking Dilin's lower abdomen. She hit the light wall behind her again with a boom, and blood splattered.

"Bastard!"

Splat.

Another slash, and Dilin's throat was cut open. Her eyes glared at Su Xiao, and the earring on her right ear emitted a blue light.

The slash mark passed by; Su Xiao did not cut off Dilin's right ear but instead used the blade tip to graze those earrings one by one.

"Blade Dao Blade·Absolute Nether."

In Dilin's vision, the surrounding world suddenly turned pitch black. In her eyes, only these three slash marks remained, the slash marks attacking head-on.

The three slash marks intersected. Dilin held her sword to block, simultaneously forming Li-element weapons in front of her.

Lines of blood were outlined in mid-air. The rapier in Dilin's hand was shattered, and three slash marks appeared on her chest.

Combat is not a turn-based game. With Su Xiao's nerve reflex speed, as well as his strength and agility attributes, as long as he suppressed someone, they could forget about using any moves that required charging up. Even if it took 0.1 seconds to charge, it was a flaw in Su Xiao's eyes.

Why was Su Xiao's battle with the Iron Feather King so arduous back then? The reason was that the Iron Feather King didn't charge up at all. He danced a three-meter-long hook-blade spear until it whistled with wind. As long as Su Xiao had the slightest flaw, that hook-blade spear would immediately thrust over.

Dilin lay on the ground, holding the hilt of the rapier in her hand. The moment the earrings on her ear shattered, Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy surged out from inside. The material of these earrings was very special; it could absorb the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy before it invaded Dilin's brain.

This special metal was also a research result of Seraphia. It had to be worn close to the body; wearing it as a pendant around the neck wouldn't work. It had to be embedded somewhere on the body, such as in the form of earrings or nose studs, to absorb Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy.

Not only that, the amount of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy this special metal could absorb was limited. It must be said that Seraphia's hundreds of years of research had indeed produced some things capable of resisting Law-Breaker abilities.

"I can still, continue to fight..."

Dilin had just opened her mouth when the long blade in Su Xiao's hand had already pierced into her chest, directly piercing her heart.

Su Xiao pulled out the long blade and glanced at Seraphia in the spectator stands. The stands were very quiet at this moment. Everyone had originally thought this was an evenly matched battle, but who knew that once the fighting started, Dilin would scurry around the whole arena, and after being closed in on, she would be pinned to the ground in less than a minute.

Seraphia, who had been sitting steadily, had already stood up. The drooping brim of her hood made it impossible to see her expression.

She was locking eyes with Su Xiao, looking very calm, as if she didn't care that her disciple was dead, but the hand inside her sleeve was clenched. She seemed to feel that the Law-Breaker on the field had slapped her in the face, and her cheeks were burning with pain.

Ruins with rising blue smoke, corpses everywhere, a female Law-Breaker holding a war scythe, and those eyes with flickering blue light.

"You, actually, are a Law-Breaker!"

"Female spellcasters are truly charming; I'm almost reluctant to slaughter you. But since you've been discovered, there's no helping it."

Seraphia's thoughts ended here, and the burning 'pain' on her face also disappeared.

"Seraphia, is this the ability and artifact you researched to guard against Law-Breakers? Isn't it, too ridiculous?"

An aged voice came. Hearing this voice, Seraphia's lips parted and closed.

"In these hundreds of years, how many resources have you applied for? Preventing trouble before it happens is a good thing, but you have to produce results. Your disciple..."

"If you dare to insult Dilin, I will, right now, immediately, extinguish you forever."

The golden pupils under Seraphia's hood were very sharp. Her disciple—she herself could hit her, could scold her, and could even let Dilin go to her death or use her body to test the things she developed, but others could not insult Dilin. It felt like... personal property.

"Showing off your might to an old guy like me? Seraphia, come, extinguish me forever, I'll give you the chance."

"Hmph."

Seraphia let out a cold snort. At this moment, the Rinfeng King, who was sitting further back, spoke up.

"To be a bitch and still be so righteous, as expected of you, Seraphia. About Dilin's matter, I've told you dozens of times, haven't I? I have no right to interfere with you conducting human experiments, but using your own disciple for experiments... is your Law Soul... still burning? Or rather, has it already been trampled out by Law-Breakers a thousand years ago?"

These words from the Rinfeng King caused the anger in Seraphia's heart to rise.

"All of you, shut up."

It was just three simple words. Seraphia and the Rinfeng King, as high-level members of the Arcane Eternal Star, no longer spoke; they really did shut up and even bowed their heads slightly, because what they were facing was the supreme person of the Arcane Eternal Star.

A figure walked toward the back of the spectator stands. Because the elemental fluctuations around him were too strong, it made it impossible for people to see his appearance and clothing clearly, or even judge his gender. The only thing that could be seen was a bone ring on his index finger.

This bone ring had extremely powerful elemental affinity. The ring body was spliced together from three parts, with several lines of very small Void characters carved on it.

"Marvin Waltz."

"Grin Gillian."

"First Generation Law-Breaker."

This bone ring was made using Marvin Waltz's arm bone, Grin Gillian's leg bone, and the first generation Law-Breaker's skull as materials.
