Chapter 2402: Another Autistic Old Schemer

A spatial crack appeared behind Su Xiao. This was a spatial crack opened by Benny through the 【Shelter Gem】.

The ability of the 【Shelter Gem】 is: the wearer selects a friendly force as the sheltered person. After activating the 【Shelter Gem】, a spatial crack will be opened to teleport the sheltered person to their side, staying for one hour. After one hour, the sheltered person will return to their original location.

The 【Shelter Gem】 has no distance limit, as long as the wearer and the sheltered person are in the same world.

A pulling force came from the spatial crack. Su Xiao rushed forward a few steps and entered the spatial crack.

After a boom in his ears, the noise of the battlefield disappeared, and Su Xiao appeared in a courtyard of a palace, surrounded by rockeries and fountains, with green trees withered and fountains dried up.

"Meow."

Benny ran up quickly and carved a map on the ground with its claw tip.

"Which floor is he on in the palace?"

"Meow."

"Be more specific, there is only one chance."

"Meow meow meow?"

"I won't die, probably not."

"Meow!"

"..."

"Meow~"

Benny described Gelu's exact location. According to its observation, Gelu's own combat power didn't seem very strong, just very strange. Benny couldn't describe that feeling either.

Benny didn't know if Gelu was strong or not, but the Three Kings were very strong. These were the kings of the three kingdoms of Dongze, Storm, and Yuexi. They didn't turn into Wood Clan, but became more terrifying existences.

The Three Kings were in the palace, and they wouldn't move normally. Once they approached them, except for Gelu, even the Wood Clan would be attacked by the Three Kings, all of them killed in one hit.

After determining this intelligence, Su Xiao sat cross-legged behind a stone pillar and started to activate the Green Steel Shadow energy. Every time he opened the whole body shadow burn, he needed to do so.

After 63 seconds, Su Xiao's eyes opened. At this time, his pupils had turned light blue, blue flames rose on his body, like smoke drifting slowly, and black-blue patterns appeared on both sides of his cheeks.

Su Xiao looked at the blue flames on his arms. For some reason, he felt that he had reached the limit this time he opened the whole body shadow burn, and was about to break free from some kind of restraint.

Temporarily ignoring this feeling, Su Xiao activated the Hunter Moment. The whole body shadow burn + Hunter Moment, the physical strength consumption speed was very terrifying. He could maintain it for at most 100 seconds, after which he would be severely exhausted. And now, this was the strongest state Su Xiao could reach.

"Meow."

Benny was about to express something to Su Xiao, but Su Xiao disappeared from the spot.

Light and shadow flickered in front of his eyes. After Su Xiao activated Dragon Shadow Flash, he appeared briefly on the first floor of the palace for the first time. Everywhere he looked was full of Wood Clan. These Wood Clan had larger bodies, and the spirit in their eyes showed that they already possessed intelligence no lower than humans.

The scene in front of him flashed by, and Su Xiao immediately penetrated space through Dragon Shadow Flash and appeared in the third floor of the palace.

The sound of wind breaking attacked in front of him. An arm made of black mud grabbed over. It was one of the Three Kings. With this reaction speed, if the Three Kings gathered, Su Xiao's probability of losing would be very high.

With a rumble, the black mud arm grabbed through the wall of the palace, and Su Xiao had already appeared in the third floor of the palace.

The third floor of the palace was very quiet. The breeze blew the thin gauze, and the bright sunlight shone into the window from the Dongze Empire, which was in summer.

With a clink, a silver dinner fork fell on the tray. Gelu, who was wearing loose white clothes and enjoying breakfast, was stunned.

"You..."

Pfft!

The long sword pierced through Gelu's throat. Su Xiao grabbed Gelu's head with his other hand, and the long sword picked, picking open half of Gelu's neck.

With a wow, Gelu spat out a large mouthful of blood. His pupils were trembling, and he couldn't understand in his heart why Su Xiao, who was a thousand miles away, appeared in front of him just like this. According to his subordinates' report, the other party should be on the front-line battlefield, struggling to fight with his subordinates. Regarding this, Gelu was somewhat disappointed. The person who truly manipulated everything should not show his face on the battlefield.

Click click click~

Gelu's head was grabbed by Su Xiao until it clicked.

With a swish, the long sword slashed across Gelu's neck. His body fell to the ground with a thud, and a pool of blood spread.

"You this..."

A look of anger appeared on Gelu's face. He never dreamed that he would be in the current situation. All along, he had always thought that Su Xiao was his great enemy. This great enemy was a great enemy who calculated against each other, clearly a thousand miles away, but recognized each other, rather than now, holding a sword, slashing his great enemy with one sword.

"So your final trump card is, yourself. However, Bai Ye, I have already, won. The secret patterns have already been..."

Before Gelu finished speaking, the spirit in his eyes faded rapidly.

【The Hunter has killed Elvis Gelu (1/3).】

【You have obtained 8.77% of the world's source (The Hunter did not cause Elvis Gelu to die completely).】

【You have obtained Redemption Slate (Nun). Holding this slate, you can activate the designated sculpture in Doom City.】

【You have obtained 107 Soul Coins.】

【Because the Hunter has killed Elvis Gelu's body, causing Elvis Gelu to be trapped in Doom Town, the Wood Clan will lose the effect added by the 'Polluted World Seed'.】

A series of prompts appeared. Just as Su Xiao was about to activate Dragon Shadow Flash to leave, he felt severe pain all over his body.

Boom~

His heart had an extra heavy beat, which almost made him directly exhausted. It was the Green Steel Shadow ability that had a problem. No, it was breaking through some kind of shackle.

Su Xiao knelt on one knee, his left hand supporting the ground. He heard the sound of running from below approaching, not the Three Kings, but the Wood Clan guarding this place rushing over.

Su Xiao concentrated his spirit as much as possible, and the Dragon Shadow Flash ability was activated.

After a while, Su Xiao appeared behind the rockery in the palace courtyard. He finally knew now why the Green Steel Shadow ability could not be improved, because he had only mastered about 50% of this ability before. His body had to first adapt to the Green Steel Shadow through shadow burns one after another. Otherwise, directly obtaining the Green Steel Shadow ability, he would 100% die. No Mystic-slayer could resist it. The pit-people Marven Waltz forgot to say the key thing again.

In fact, Su Xiao wronged Marven Waltz. Every Mystic-slayer's Green Steel Shadow is different. Marven Waltz directly obtained the complete Green Steel Shadow, not like Su Xiao, who first mastered 50%, and after the body adapted for a period of time, could completely master it. This concerns the intensity problem.

Behind the rockery, Su Xiao half-squatted on the ground. He had already closed the whole body shadow burn and Hunter Moment, restrained his own aura, and wrapped Gelu's head. This head might still be useful.

Benny was peeking from the side of the rockery to prevent any Wood Clan from arriving in this vicinity.

Gelu arranged a very grand plan, and even the placement of the Wood Clan and the Hyena Wolf Clan was handled well.

After the war was won, he would burn the 'Polluted World Seed' and grant the Wood Clan true life. At that time, the continent would be divided into two. The Wood Clan would occupy half, and the other half would belong to the Hyena Wolf Clan.

As for Gelu himself, he wanted to return to his hometown, farm there, raise dogs, and spend the second half of his life plainly. During this period, he would monitor the 'gap' and would not allow anyone to enter Doom Town.

Gru never imagined that Su Xiao would suddenly appear before him, piercing his throat with a single blade. There was no long-distance duel of mutual recognition, nor was there any final confrontation filled with empty talk.

Meet, one sword, end.

If Gelu met Sfink, the two would cherish each other. Both of them were, thinking that Su Xiao was an old schemer, was the same kind of person, and would unfold a game of intelligence with them.

Su Xiao chose to bear such a great risk and rushed over directly because he knew that if he played a game of intelligence with Gelu, the one who would lose would absolutely be himself. The other party's plan had been prepared for at least hundreds of years, and I don't know how many generations of people had perfected this plan.

Gelu was the person who finished the plan. He destroyed the four kingdoms, controlled the Wood Clan and the Hyena Wolf Clan, and also had some kind of connection with Doom Town. This was not as simple as having a great advantage at the start.

Looking at Su Xiao's side, 900,000 soldiers, not under his control, 1.5 million civilians, controlling them had no strategic significance, and the opinions of the three decision-makers were often inconsistent. He had neither military power nor support from anyone in this world. No, there were two, Puri and Azaz.

Puri was good at traveling and playing, and his level of picking up girls was top-notch. The local forces that could assist Su Xiao were only Azaz, this lame old gentleman.

Su Xiao never thought about confronting Gelu on the battlefield. That was seeking his own death. The sword in his hand was the thing he was best at using. Who stipulated that calculating against each other could not slash the enemy with one sword?

"Meow~"

Benny retreated behind the rockery and signaled Su Xiao to follow it.

Benny arrived behind the rockery and drilled into a round hole only ten centimeters thick. After entering, it still looked at Su Xiao in the hole, meaning: "Come in."

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak. Benny suddenly realized, gesturing with meow claws, meaning the hole was very spacious, just penetrate space and come in.

Su Xiao penetrated space. Sure enough, the rockery had been hollowed out by Benny, and there was a passage leading to the underground, slanting toward the underground.

Su Xiao slid down from the dirt hole and soon reached the end. Before long, Benny also slid down from above, four furry little claws spread out, lying on Su Xiao's head, landing perfectly.

"Meow."

Benny slid from Su Xiao's head to his shoulder, wagging its tail. That meant, this hole was dug well, learned from the silly dog.

Su Xiao restrained his aura. After one hour, he would be dragged back to the vicinity of Ango City by the spatial crack. Only then would it be considered a success. Before that, once discovered by the Wood Clan in the palace, it would be very troublesome.

Bursts of wailing came from above. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Su Xiao felt that the surrounding world was reviving.

This was a phased victory. Gelu's body was dead, but his soul had not yet perished. At this time, he was in Doom Town. With Gelu's degree of understanding of Doom Town, when he saw him again, he might be quite powerful.
