Chapter 2299: Let's Fight, Xiu Ge
Su Xiao was not in a hurry now. Amu and Baham were both not lightly injured, especially Amu, who was more severely injured than Monde and would need at least two to three days to recover combat capability.
Baham's situation was also not too good. Its physique was not as strong as Monde's and Amu's. It had been severely injured by Quanyu, half of its wing had been cut off by the 'feather weave threads', losing its ability to fly, plus it was heavily injured.
Monde's state was also not good. Soul damage was no joke; it would affect his combat power.
When Su Xiao fought Nameless Saint earlier, he had also suffered not-so-light injuries. Fortunately, there were no injuries that were too difficult to handle, and after a day of rest, he had largely recovered.
Obtaining 7 Medals of the Overlord was not without a price. The current situation was the price.
If Xiu Ge and Quanyu came knocking now, Su Xiao would of course deal with Xiu Ge, and Quanyu would be dealt with by Monde.
Time passed in waiting. At three o'clock that afternoon.
*Thump, thump, thump. *
The ice door of the cave was knocked. Just as Beni pushed open the ice door, wind and snow surged in, and outside the door was Xiu Ge, draped in winter clothes with a lazy expression.
Xiu Ge did not take the opportunity to blow up this mountain. The multiple traps triggered earlier told him that if he did so, he would definitely not have a good outcome.
"You're all here. Not going to Peak Mountain for a fight?"
Xiu Ge, who had a faint burnt smell on his body, walked into the cave. On his way here, he had triggered dozens of traps and mechanisms.
"That ghost place is freezing to death. Waited for you all morning, I was frozen to death. Sure enough, you wouldn't go there."
Xiu Ge rubbed his hands, came to the stove in the cave, took out a personal terminal, and connected to the signal source in the cave. Looking at him like this, where did he look like he came to decide life and death? He was clearly here to mooch off the internet.
"Where is that sissy?"
Monde picked up his battle armor and buckled it onto his chest. The battle armor full of magma patterns unfolded, protecting Monde's torso inside.
"Waiting for you outside. You two go further away before fighting."
Monde didn't speak. He tore off the three Medals of the Overlord on his wrist, placed them on the surgical bed he had been lying on earlier, and nodded at Su Xiao. He didn't say anything like gratitude; some things were enough to be kept in the heart.
Monde walked past Xiu Ge and vanished into the wind and snow outside the door. He and Quanyu had old grudges. This time, one of them might have to die.
"Hoo~"
Xiu Ge held his hands together loosely and blew hot air into his palms.
"Don't you find it interesting? Before the Strongest Contest started, we didn't know each other, but now, we've actually become enemies."
Xiu Ge sat on the chair in front of the stove and took out a few pieces of jerky from his bosom, placing them on the stove to roast.
"By the way, there's something I want to ask you. This is for a friend of mine..."
"That friend of yours is you, right?"
Baham spoke up and interrupted. Xiu Ge smiled, his smile somewhat awkward.
"Cough, it seems that's indeed the case. Bai Ye, I have a question I hope you can answer. How long have the Law-Breakers... guarded the elemental balance?"
"..."
"Knew it would be like this."
Xiu Ge picked up the jerky on the stove and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
"Just on the mountain top next door, right? The scenery there is not bad. If I am defeated, I would rather die there."
Xiu Ge rubbed the black ash on his fingers and walked out of the cave.
"Moo."
Amu sat up from the surgical bed and tore off the pipes one by one. Su Xiao just glanced at it, and Amu lay back down honestly.
"Beni, guard this area."
"Meow."
"Bubu, let's go."
Su Xiao stepped out of the cave. In the wind and snow, Xiu Ge walked in front. There could only be one winner, plus the hostility of their positions, a life-and-death struggle was inevitable.
Five minutes later, at the top of a steep mountain peak, the cliffs on all four sides of this mountain were like they had been cut by a knife, and at the peak was a very flat stone platform with a large area.
On both sides of the peak were stone sculptures. One was in the image of a giant. He held a two-handed greatsword in one hand and carried his own head in the other. The gaze under the head armor was extremely firm.
And on the other side was a giant dragon stone sculpture roaring at the sky. Its head had been split open. Although it was a stone sculpture, it could make people feel the pressure and malice from when it was alive.
More interestingly, on the palm below the little finger of the giant warrior sculpture, several lifelike dragon scales were carved.
The dragon-slaying warrior was tainted by the blood of the evil dragon and likewise grew dragon scales, so he cut off his own head, unwilling to transform into an evil dragon that would bring disaster to the world, not wanting to let what he guarded be destroyed.
The dragon-slaying giant was buried in the land of extreme cold, and the nobles of various principalities had once knelt and worshipped here. The core of this world became the burial object of the dragon-slaying giant, and the frost guards guarded the corpse of the dragon-slaying giant and the world core for eternity. This, perhaps, was the story of the land of extreme cold.
At the peak, Su Xiao and Xiu Ge stood in confrontation ten meters apart, and the wild wind rolled the snowflakes down.
Xiu Ge tore off the magic robe on his body, and a long coat made of black flames appeared on him. The raging black flames rose behind him, forming a black flame giant.
"Thank you for fighting with me, giant whose name I do not know."
Xiu Ge spoke in a low voice. The flame giant behind him held a long bow in its hand, and it seemed to be carrying another weapon on its back, which was obscured by the black flames.
A black flame sword materialized in Xiu Ge's hand. The hilt of this black flame sword was full of dragon scales, and the blade was about five centimeters wide.
Xiu Ge specialized in the soul, and the method of using this black flame sword was an ability bestowed upon him by the dragon-slaying giant. This was a temporary ability Xiu Ge obtained because his soul resonated with the remnant soul of the dragon-slaying giant. This was the power of specializing in the soul.
It was precisely for this reason that Monde was beaten into autism by Xiu Ge. Xiu Ge simply had no obvious weaknesses.
And on the other side, blood energy spread around Su Xiao, and it seemed that a huge blood beast with a ferocious grin appeared behind him.
Xiu Ge's lazy aura vanished. The black flame giant behind him drew the bow and sword, and an arrow formed by black flames aimed at Su Xiao.
Xiu Ge slowly raised his left arm. The skin on his arm became scorching red, and the magic patterns inside his arm shattered rapidly. This was a magic pattern he had constructed inside his left arm out of interest, and now, he was going to fight a Law-Breaker, and these magic patterns were a weakness, so he actively destroyed these magic patterns.
"Bai Ye, let us see, among us... who is stronger."
Wisps of white heat drifted from Xiu Ge's left arm, and blue veins gradually bulged on his neck. Before this, Xiu Ge only regarded Su Xiao as an opponent, not a mortal enemy, but now, the opposition of their positions destined him to stand on the opposite side of Su Xiao, in a life-and-death struggle.
*Bang! *
The black flame giant released the bowstring, and a wave of air spread, blowing away the flying snow in the surroundings.
The moment the arrow flew out, Su Xiao and Xiu Ge charged forward at the same time. The black flame arrow flew past Su Xiao's cheek, vanishing into the snowflakes far behind him.
The long blade and the black flame sword slashed at each other, and behind Su Xiao and Xiu Ge, the black flame giant and the blood beast collided with each other.
Time seemed to freeze for an instant at this moment. The next moment, the black flame giant and the blood beast collided together, the giant's war roar and the blood beast's roar opposing each other.
*Thump!! *
Blood energy and black flames spread, dividing the peak into two areas, eroding each other. If one looked down from high above, they could see a ring produced by the impact spreading to the surroundings. The snow stopped.
