Chapter 2442: Croak?

The purple-black energy dissipated as if it had never appeared. The enemy's method was very hidden. After one strike failed, leaving behind a piece of misleading intelligence, he immediately hid.

Su Xiao of course remembered the name Sfink. Among the Rule-Breakers he had dealt with, Sfink definitely ranked first. This guy was not only an old schemer but also cooperated with Ancient Gods. More importantly, Sfink was not a lackey of the Ancient Gods; he was on equal footing with three Ancient Gods. After his plan was exposed, that guy, in order to lure Su Xiao away, caused the death of an Ancient God. The Black Goat, Shub, died because of this.

Su Xiao sat on the sand dune, the sky filled with stars, making the desert at night not too dark.

The Rule-Breaker he was dealing with now was related to Sfink. Judging from the handwriting left by the opponent, this was to come for revenge.

At first glance, it was indeed so, but if one thought carefully, it didn't make sense. Since he wanted to avenge Sfink, why expose his own existence now? Hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity was a better choice.

This approach already had the meaning of splashing dirty water. It was true that the enemy knew Sfink, but if he wanted to avenge Sfink, he should have chosen a safer way.

Most low-to-mid-tier Rule-Breakers fought alone, at most establishing a small organization. But it wasn't like that once they reached the Seventh Tier.

Su Xiao felt that Rule-Breakers seemed to have a base camp, or could contact each other through some method, exchange intelligence, trade items, etc. This was a huge and loose whole.

What was certain was that this Rule-Breaker should not have much to do with Sfink. Leaving Sfink's name was more for misleading. As for the opponent's true purpose, it was temporarily unknown.

The good news was that Su Xiao knew some of the enemy's abilities. The opponent's ability leaned toward "poison," and he could manipulate others' actions. When manipulating others, except for the moment of releasing control, there were basically no flaws.

This meant that anyone encountered could be manipulated by that guy. No, this range could be narrowed down. If the opponent could manipulate Bubu Wang and Baja, that would cause Su Xiao a lot of trouble.

The opponent couldn't manipulate Qiyuezhe, or followers or permanent summons, at least not remotely. The opponent could remotely manipulate the local residents in this world, and the manipulation strength was still unknown.

Su Xiao had encountered Rule-Breakers who could "replace" local residents, thereby performing perfect disguises. Compared to that Rule-Breaker, the Rule-Breaker in front of him was more troublesome. This was ultra-long-distance manipulation. Even if exposed, it wouldn't affect the main body.

"Delaying time, huh."

Su Xiao muttered in a low voice. He only thought of this one possibility. That Rule-Breaker seemed to be looking for him with a target, but in fact, he wasn't. The opponent should be using similar means to let Battle Angels, Pioneers, etc., all know of his existence.

Leaving Sfink's name might just be a coincidence. The opponent knew Sfink died at his hands, so he just misled him, making a gesture of "You wait, I'll find you and slaughter you sooner or later."

Such crazy provocation showed the Rule-Breaker's confidence in his own abilities, and that he was a bit panicked in his heart, not wanting Hunters, Battle Angels, Pioneers, etc., to explore this world.

Su Xiao looked at a "dwarf" slave. Peruvians and dwarves looked very similar. Except for the dark skin, other aspects were roughly the same: dense sideburns, sturdy bodies, and an average height of about 1.4 meters.

This Peruvian slave was the one manipulated by the Rule-Breaker just now. He was sitting on the ground, leaning against other slaves, sleeping soundly.

If Su Xiao wanted to, he could completely extract the life force from this Peruvian slave's body and purify the purple-black energy within it, in order to track that Rule-Breaker.

Su Xiao didn't intend to do this. This was the result the opponent wanted to see. The opponent hoped he would search the whole world, so he wouldn't have time to explore this world.

If he wasn't mistaken, that guy would jump out again before long to provoke him fiercely.

Su Xiao took a large piece of sheepskin from the camel's backpack, spread it on the windward side of the sand dune, lay on it, and prepared to take a nap for a few hours.

At the same time, in the western part of the continent, the Peru Kingdom, Falling Hammer Small City.

Boom!

A gray-skinned Peruvian dwarf crashed into a stone wall. Blood splattered on the wall, and the broken armor knocked over a candlestick. The fire rose rapidly along the curtains.

"Good courage, actually daring to provoke."

A girl with short pink hair and bare feet walked up, stepping on the gray-skinned dwarf's head with one foot.

"Cough, cough~ your feet..."

The gray-skinned dwarf spoke, blood flowing from his mouth and nose.

"Your feet, so small."

"?"

The pink-haired girl's expression stiffened. She leaned over and tilted her head to look at the gray-skinned dwarf. Her clear eyes narrowed, and she smiled very sweetly.

The pink-haired girl was named Mo Lei. Saying she was the combat powerhouse of the Apocalypse Paradise faction was no exaggeration at all; aside from her somewhat erratic thought process, she was reliable in every other aspect.

Morey stepped on the gray-skinned dwarf's head, exerting force under her feet.

Crack~

"Damn it!"

The gray-skinned dwarf screamed, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Decided, slaughter you first."

The gray-skinned dwarf laughed somewhat crazily. His skin turned black-purple, and the black-purple spread to Morey's feet.

"Then I should thank you."

Morey's strength under her feet was greater. With a crack, she crushed the gray-skinned dwarf's head. Purple-black blood splattered everywhere, and a few drops even splashed onto Morey's face.

Hiss~

Poison blood corroded, Morey didn't care at all.

"So dirty."

Morey wiped the blood off her face with disgust. She dipped her fingers in some purple-black blood and began to graffiti on the wall, even humming a song.

Soon, Morey used the purple-black blood to outline a triangular array. She pressed one hand on it.

Boom!

Spatial fluctuations appeared, the wall peeled off layer by layer, and a triangular spatial crack appeared.

"Hi~ Mr. Rule-Breaker, you seemed quite happy just now."

Morey stepped forward. Bright red water droplets appeared around her, at least a hundred in number. Each bright red water droplet represented a Rule-Breaker who had died in Morey's hands.

Inside the triangular spatial crack, a man sitting in the darkness raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and astonishment.

Purple-black liquid surged over. Morey gripped with one hand, and all the bright red water droplets gathered, forming a slender firearm, which Morey held in her hand.

"Soul, Chant."

Bang.

As Morey pulled the trigger, everything around her stopped. A bullet broke through layers of air waves, rushed through the purple-black liquid, and flew in front of the man in the darkness's forehead. His pupils contracted rapidly, and he tried his best to tilt his head, but unfortunately, it was too late.

With a snap, the bullet pierced the man's forehead and flew out from the back of his head, finally sinking into the wooden wall behind him. The man tilted his head back, and a gold coin in his hand fell to the ground.

"Really... a beautiful shot."

The man slowly sat up straight and grinned, revealing a mouth full of metal teeth inlaid with diamonds. Blood flowed down his forehead, staining his teeth red.

"Still have things to do, leaving first. Farewell."

Morey turned and fled. Being cool for no more than three seconds was exactly what described her.

"Hehehehehe."

The man looked at Morey. He slowly sat up from the darkness, blood dripping down his chin. With a boom, gravel splattered. Morey, not far away, suddenly stopped. The enemy's chin was less than ten centimeters from her forehead, looking down at her.

"Firing a shot at my forehead and then fleeing, not good, right?"

"Yeah, quite immoral."

Morey's fingers were trembling. Except for her head, her whole body couldn't move. The enemy was much stronger than expected.

"Talking nonsense with you for so long, already eroded almost enough."

The man's hand pressed on Morey's head. Just as he wanted to forcibly manipulate Morey, he grabbed empty air. A slippery and cold touch appeared. Looking closely, he was holding a toad, a big-mouthed frog common in the Peru Kingdom.

With a splat, the man crushed the big-mouthed frog in his hand. Blood vessels bulged on his face, and he was somewhat angry. Morey's ability was very troublesome to him.

A few kilometers away, muddy water splashed. Morey fell into the muddy water in a small pond gathered after the rain.

Glug glug~

Bubbles surged. Morey suddenly raised her upper body in the pond, her originally fair face covered in muddy water.

"This is too strong. Fortunately, I ran fast. This strength... must be a Rule-Breaker from Reincarnation Paradise."

Morey slapped the water surface. Seeing a lotus leaf on the side, she pulled it off. Just when everyone thought she was going to use the lotus leaf to wipe the mud off her face, she actually inverted the lotus leaf on her head and squatted in the pond. That posture looked like a frog.

"Croak~"

A frog call with a high degree of imitation came from Morey's mouth. She squatted in the shallow water, holding her breath, making her cheeks bulge.

A dozen meters away, black-purple liquid gathered, finally forming the figure of a man.

"Croak~"

Morey imitated a frog call again. Not far away, a gaze looked at her. After observing for a while, the footsteps went away. ===== CHAPTER 2443 =====
