Chapter 2518: Chief

10 Soul Coins and one Soul of Ba as a reward. Soul Coins are always welcome, and as for the Soul of Ba, this thing is somewhat special.

Whether one can reach the Origin God Village makes the value of the Soul of Ba completely different. If one can't reach it, this thing can strengthen equipment into 'Origin Characteristic' equipment, and the abilities attached to the equipment are definitely very strong.

Su Xiao picked up a black-blue spherical crystal from the ground. This thing was about the size of a longan, round in shape, and felt very hard. This was the Soul of Ba.

When Su Xiao fought this Tianba earlier, the other party let out a strange cry, clearly calling for companions.

Through this battle, Su Xiao judged that against a Tianba with high erosion, he could resolve the battle in a short time. Except for Charisma, all other attributes completely crushed the enemy.

At the same time, against five Tianba with high erosion, Su Xiao would feel some pressure. If there were ten, the pressure would increase significantly. If he were to deal with about 30 at the same time, that would be very dangerous.

There was a premise for dealing with 30 Tianba at the same time: these Tianba had to be highly eroded by the Origin. Otherwise, their technique-type abilities would all be at Grandmaster level. Assuming three melee Tianba at Grandmaster level + two ranged Tianba at Grandmaster level, the five of them cooperating to face Su Xiao at the same time, one could imagine the pressure Su Xiao would face.

Fortunately, there shouldn't be too many Tianba of this type. This type of Tianba should be elite units in the race. Encountering this type of Tianba, Su Xiao would never retreat, but would think of other ways to kill the enemy. Ordinary Tianba directly rewarded Soul Coins, and the kill reward for elite Tianba was definitely very high.

Things were the same as Su Xiao predicted. Ten seconds later, dense running sounds came from around the small courtyard.

Su Xiao rushed into a tall building in Bamboo Village. This was the God Hall of Bamboo Village, not for worshipping Gods, but for rituals during festivals.

The God Hall was very spacious, about several hundred square meters in size, and about a dozen meters high. On both sides was a row of square wooden pillars used to support this overly tall God Hall. Multiple fire basins were embedded in the walls, and the firelight illuminated the place.

Zzz~

Jie Duan Xian popped out. After some winding, Su Xiao pressed the line wheel on his arm guard, releasing Jie Duan Xian completely and detaching it from the arm guard.

Su Xiao leaped, stepping on Jie Duan Xian a few meters high in mid-air. This was the battlefield he set up to avoid being surrounded.

Chaotic footsteps came. A dozen Tianba with rough skin showing a blue tint rushed into the God Hall. As soon as they rushed in, they stopped, looking at Su Xiao standing in mid-air with full vigilance.

Cold ice spread outside the door, and the door was blocked. The boss battle began; no one could escape.

In Bamboo Village, a man holding double short axes and wearing a horn helmet was rushing forward quickly. It was Woqifu, the outsider in Bamboo Village.

Behind Woqifu, four Tianba were chasing. While running, Qifu's breathing began to quicken. He had to find someone as soon as possible and take that person back to the Xita Kingdom, which was the Talin Kingdom.

Xita was the name outsiders used for this country. Because it was located on the west side of the continent, it was abbreviated as Xita over time. The true name of this country was 'Talin.' Unlike the Holy Guard Kingdom, Talin was a kingdom, a kingdom with a royal family. It could be said that Talin was the absolute overlord of this continent. The Holy Guard Kingdom had suffered too heavy losses in the war back then.

Woqifu rushed forward quickly, his breathing ragged. The eyes under his horn helmet seemed to have fire burning in them.

"Yi... Ha!"

A strange cry came from behind. Hearing this sound, Qifu instinctively lunged forward.

Boom.

Mud surged. A Tianba fell, the serrated long blade in its hand buried in the ground.

After rolling a few times on the ground, Qifu discovered that he was semi-surrounded by four 'humanoid monsters.' He looked left and right. Suddenly, a dry well over three meters wide attracted his attention.

Qifu rushed forward in a few steps and plunged into the dry well. The four Tianba behind followed and jumped in. But they forgot that they were all using long weapons.

Under the dry well, in a water storage pit less than five meters wide, Qifu held double short axes, hacking the four Tianba until they cried out in strange voices.

With a squelch, a broken blade pierced into Qifu's chest. He didn't care at all, meeting the head of a Tianba with an axe. His bloodline ability made him unable to feel pain at this moment, and his blood seemed to be boiling and burning.

A few minutes later, Qifu, with a broken blade and half a wooden stick stuck in his body, gasped for breath. Blood dripped down the corners of his mouth, but he smiled.

At this moment, Qifu was the God of War in the well. In the well, it seemed no one could defeat him.

An hour later, Bamboo Village fell silent. On the only street, one could occasionally see the corpse of a villager. These villagers knew they had Origin Power in their bodies, yet they didn't develop it. Was this stupidity? No, they knew the result of developing Origin Power. They would rather die than become monsters driven by Origin Power. That was no longer considered living.

In the God Hall, Su Xiao stood on a pile of corpses, stepping on the shoulder of a Tianba with one foot, and withdrew his long blade from the other party's head.

Throwing down the crystal bottle in his hand, the 【Honor Recovery Potion】 was used up in the battle. The Qin and Ni abilities of the Tianba were too strong. As long as he was injured, Su Xiao's Health would drop by a small section. What was even more fatal was that the damage-deepening of 'Qin' was a continuous debuff state.

As long as three Tianba with 'Qin characteristics' injured Su Xiao, regardless of whether they were the same Tianba, the damage-deepening he suffered would be stacked to the maximum. Subsequent Tianba that injured him would activate this damage-deepening effect.

A moment of carelessness could lead to being killed in a single round of attacks. What was even more fatal was that the Tianba were enemies who had mastered technique-type abilities. Fortunately, Su Xiao crushed these Tianba in terms of technique. No matter how strong the attack was, if it couldn't injure him, it posed no threat.

Checking the Reincarnation Paradise prompt, Su Xiao felt this battle wasn't fought in vain.

【You have obtained 376 Soul Coins.】

【You have obtained Soul of Ba x39.】

This reward indicated that two waves of Tianba had come to surround Su Xiao one after another, and all of them died here.

Walking out of the God Hall, Su Xiao walked toward the courtyard where the chief was. He had attracted half the village's Tianba, so that side should be able to win.

In the courtyard of Chief Qingzhang's house, Chief Qingzhang held a sharp blade, walking slowly. Kneeling in front of him was a Tianba holding a long-handled giant axe with a blue heart in the center of the axe head.

This wasn't an elite Tianba, but one of the leaders of the Tianba. Throughout the generations, there were only two leaders of the Tianba: one with Qin characteristics and one with Ni characteristics.

This Tianba leader was from the previous generation. He had been too severely eroded by Origin Power and was defeated by the current leader with Qin characteristics.

Without any nonsense, the chief chopped off the head of the previous Tianba leader. Around him lay the corpses of dozens of Tianba.

The chief's hand holding the blade was trembling slightly. For a blade-master master, this was unbelievable. The chief looked at a small corpse not far away. This corpse held a short blade, and the short blade was deeply pierced into the eye socket of a Tianba. Even if the one being dealt with was a severely injured Tianba, not everyone had this kind of courage, let alone a child.

"As expected of, my grandson."

The chief staggered back half a step, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. He lowered his head to look at his chest, and a bloody, mangled hole appeared in his eyes. This was the final strike of the previous Tianba leader.

"In the end, I'm old."

The chief used his last bit of strength to sit cross-legged on the ground. He knew he was going to die. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the confrontation in the cave last night. He hadn't fought so heartily in a long time—life and death in an instant, the blade ringing.

The sound of wind breaking appeared. Su Xiao stood in front of the chief.

"Bai Ye, what are you looking for?"

The chief returned the long blade in his hand to its sheath, placing it flat on his legs.

"Water of Origin."

"You want to... assimilate that special Origin of yours?"

"Yes."

"Simply a madman. Strange, I should hate a madman like you. Truly strange."

"Be careful. On the road to finding the Origin, you must have the determination to lose your life at any time. There is a wooden box carved from Moon Tree roots under my bed. Use it to contain that piece of Origin, and you won't be sensed by the Tianba."

The chief was very calm, not fearing the arrival of death. His heart had been blown away, yet he sat there indifferently. From this point, one could see that the chief's strength today wasn't accidental or lucky. Such a person should have such strength and was destined to become a powerhouse.

"Many thanks."

"Take Liu to the Talin Kingdom. There is the Water of Origin you want there. She is a royal of Talin. Promise this dying old man one last thing: don't use Liu. The thing she sealed is very terrifying..."

The chief slowly lowered his head. Having killed 62 Tianba and one previous Tianba leader, the chief died in battle here. Such a powerhouse, in the end, couldn't defeat the erosion of time. Just as the chief himself said, he was old after all.

"Woo, woo!"

Struggling sounds came from the house behind the chief. Su Xiao pushed open the door and saw Liu, who was tied up and had her mouth stuffed.

"Lord Liu, I've come to save you!"

The God of War in the well, Qifu, rushed over from afar. Seeing Su Xiao, he immediately stopped, looking around, searching for whether there was a dry well nearby. ===== CHAPTER 2519 =====
