Chapter 2411

~9 min read 1,637 words

Su Xiao shook the blood off his left hand. If he took a few more slashes from the Immortal Man, he would die here. Right now, he didn't even have the chance to use recovery items.

Looking at the bullet holes on the Immortal Man's body, Su Xiao felt the timing was about right. When fighting that tank-type Qiyuezhe earlier, he had been accumulating the Blade of Extinguishing Law. Adding the slash he just gave the Immortal Man, he had accumulated five Blades of Extinguishing Law, reaching the limit.

"Qing Ying... King."

Blue light flickered in Su Xiao's eyes. He raised his left arm, his fist suddenly clenching. A crystal layer instantly attached to his entire forearm, making his entire forearm and left hand somewhat translucent, presenting a light blue color. The meridians inside were exceptionally clear, flowing with Qing Gang Ying energy.

Seeming to foresee that the situation was not good, the Immortal Man rushed toward Su Xiao quickly, but he stopped abruptly after only two steps.

*Boom!! *

Five Blades of Extinguishing Law, each over 4 meters long, were inserted into the surrounding ground, shaking the surrounding one-kilometer area. The five Blades of Extinguishing Law shrouded both Su Xiao and the Immortal Man. The Immortal Man's whole body creaked, and he couldn't even move a finger. Gravel on the ground around him floated up, and the rising speed of the flames became very slow.

*Clang~*

The five Blades of Extinguishing Law were pulled from the ground, slashing rapidly toward the Immortal Man. The Immortal Man could only watch this scene helplessly; he couldn't move, and the Blades of Extinguishing Law were simply too fast.

*Squish, squish... *

Blood and shattered cloth strips splashed everywhere. The speed of the five Blades of Extinguishing Law was so fast that they formed a sphere. After successive slashes, the five Blades of Extinguishing Law stopped abruptly, pointing obliquely at the Immortal Man from top to bottom.

*Squish! *

The five Blades of Extinguishing Law pierced through the Immortal Man's body from five directions, pinning him to the ground in a standing position.

The blue light in Su Xiao's eyes grew stronger. With a 'Boom!', the five Blades of Extinguishing Law exploded, blue blade fragments splashing toward the surroundings. Qing Ying King didn't just target one enemy.

The execution speed of Qing Ying King seemed slow, but in reality, it only took 0.8 seconds in total. The five Blades of Extinguishing Law fell, and the next moment the Immortal Man was slashed multiple times. Finally, the five Blades of Extinguishing Law pierced through the Immortal Man's body and exploded.

With a 'Clang!', the broken blade in the Immortal Man's hand fell to the ground. He knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and died here. Sparks fluttered on his body, and his body gradually turned to ash; stripping away soul memories was impossible.

Su Xiao's translucent left arm returned to normal. When using Qing Ying King, he could move and attack. The Immortal Man didn't have much HP left; this time was to test the power of Qing Ying King, and the result was very satisfying.

【You have killed the Immortal Man.】

【You have obtained a Holy Spirit-grade treasure chest (7%).】

【You have obtained 127 Soul Coins.】

【You have obtained 9.25% of World Source.】

【You have obtained the 'Redemption Church' key (Special Item).】

The gains from killing the Immortal Man were lower than imagined, which didn't make sense. 'Assistance' from Qiyuezhe of other paradises was different from assistance from plot characters; there shouldn't be a situation where kill rewards were reduced.

Analyzing it this way, it meant that something strange had mixed into that four-person team. White Bull and the Captain were Qiyuezhe, while the situations of Killer Bee and Oisi were unknown.

According to Su Xiao's deduction, Killer Bee and Oisi should be teammates—no, a master-servant relationship. Oisi seemed more aggressive and was the master, but in Su Xiao's view, Oisi's performance was too eye-catching.

Su Xiao had done something similar in the Holy Grail world. At that time, he was a Servant, and Matou Kariya was the Master, but under his disguise, he looked more like the Master himself. Although the Command Spells were drawn on, he had Berserked Matou Kariya.

The combination of Killer Bee and Oisi reminded Su Xiao of a scene from the past. Analyzing it this way, Oisi might not even be a Qiyuezhe; she should be a summon with a special brand, and the brand characteristic was Watcher Paradise.

Stripping away a brand was something that seemed impossible, but Su Xiao knew a guy who had brands from several paradises. That guy was called Mad Doctor.

Killer Bee was the master, and Oisi was a special summon with close-quarters + healing abilities. The two of them disguised themselves as not knowing each other and formed a team with White Bull and the Captain of Apocalypse Paradise. To avoid suspicion, Killer Bee even pushed for an outsider to be the captain, waiting until enough benefits were reaped to backstab White Bull and the Captain, swallowing all the benefits obtained in Omen Town.

As for the flaw of reward reduction, if Oisi had already joined the team, then no matter what her identity was, there wouldn't be a reward reduction. Just like when Old God Stick assisted Su Xiao against the Black King, there was no reward reduction.

Su Xiao didn't know if his speculation was correct. He prepared to use this conjecture as a contingency plan to deal with Killer Bee, who was hiding in Omen Town.

Right now, Su Xiao's mission was to explore. He had to explore over 20% of the area in Omen Town to complete the main quest, Fifth Ring.

This wasn't aimless exploration. In the central part of Omen Town, there was an item called the 'Ash Furnace'.

This thing was unique to Omen Town and was an item marked with a unique characteristic by Reincarnation Paradise. If missed now, it would be missed forever and could not be obtained by any means.

The Ash Furnace had two functions. Consuming over 260 grams of Starlight Iron to activate it could reforge a piece of equipment. The cost of reforging was very high; not only did it require Starlight Iron, but it also required other equipment as fuel to temper the equipment being reforged. This equipment would then gain a unique characteristic.

The second function was that if Su Xiao obtained the Ash Furnace, he could exempt himself from the failure penalty of the 150-point attribute barrier assessment by handing over the Ash Furnace.

The key and the Ash Furnace were items that had to be contested. Su Xiao had already obtained the key, and as for the furnace, Killer Bee, who was also in Omen Town, would also snatch it.

Su Xiao lit a cigarette. The commotion of the battle here earlier had been so loud, yet it hadn't attracted any residents of Omen Town, which meant the nearby area was still safe, or rather, the sound wouldn't alert the residents here.

The flames on the main street gradually extinguished. Looking around, Su Xiao didn't see the wooden box containing the Soul Crystal; it had definitely been taken away by the four-person team.

Entering a stone building beside the main street and going upstairs along the bare stairs, Su Xiao saw the half-dead Captain. Seeing this, Baha ran up, his pace somewhat arrogant—the kind that was easy to get beaten up. He couldn't help it; he was the overlord of the sky after flying, but after running, well, don't mention it.

"Hey, dead yet?"

"Kill, me."

A weak voice came from the Captain's throat. He was now seeking death.

"Don't give up, brother, you still have hope of being saved. My boss's repair level—pfft, my boss's healing level is very high. At least give some useful information."

"Ba ku ah, moo moo fu."

"Huh? Big brother, speak human, can't understand you."

With a 'Swish—', the Banishment in blade form slashed across the Captain's throat. Su Xiao had already seen that this Qiyuezhe had soul damage and couldn't possibly provide useful information.

Just as Su Xiao was about to turn and leave, he saw a Scarlet Card beside the Captain's body.

【You have obtained a Scarlet Card (★★★★★★★).】

This was the first time Su Xiao had obtained a Scarlet Card from a Seventh Tier Qiyuezhe. What this thing could open depended on fate; even Fate Master couldn't save it. Either he would become super rich, or he would become a wholesaler of daily necessities.

Putting away the Scarlet Card, Su Xiao proceeded along the main street of Omen Town. He didn't walk far before he stopped.

Dozens of meters ahead was a crossroads with a circular flower bed in the center. The vine plants in the flower bed were very lush, and those bright red flowers made the surrounding colors look dim.

In the circular fountain at the center of the flower bed, light red liquid flowed out slowly, nourishing the vine plants below.

"This thing doesn't seem easy to mess with."

Baha swallowed his saliva. The Immortal Man guarding the gate was already exaggerated enough, and now, having walked only a hundred meters, they had encountered an even stronger plant-type big boss.

The vines stirred, and a pale little hand reached out from between the leaves. At the next moment, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was behind Su Xiao, suddenly disappeared and appeared in the flower bed.

"Little doggy, so cute. Cut off the ears and hang them up; even cuter when it doesn't move."

A sweet nursery rhyme came. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's hind legs started to tremble, its dog face gradually becoming terrified, as if it were written with the words 'Don't touch me'. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, in danger.
