Chapter 2542

As soon as the spatial fluctuation appeared, Su Xiao suddenly appeared behind a purple-robed Taba and thrust his blade forward.

Squish.

The long blade pierced the purple-robed Taba's throat. If it were an ordinary enemy, the first reaction to having a vital point pierced would be to grab Su Xiao's blade to avoid having their throat slit open.

The purple-robed Taba was different; his first reaction was to grab the hilt of the blade at his waist and lift his right foot to stomp hard on the ground.

Thud~

A light blue shockwave spread out, and the purple-robed Taba lunged forward with all his might, attempting to pull the long blade out of his neck.

The shockwave surged toward him, and Su Xiao exerted force with his hand gripping the hilt, slashing horizontally with all his might.

With a swish, Checking Zhan Long Shan sliced open half of the purple-robed Taba's throat, and blood beads splattered along the trajectory of the blade's slash.

The purple-robed Taba staggered a few steps and knelt on one knee. He held his blade backhanded, stabbing it into the ground, while his other hand gripped his spurting neck. This guy... wasn't dead.

Just now, Su Xiao hadn't had the chance to investigate the data on these Taba. After truly engaging in combat, he discovered that these Taba were different from those he had encountered before that were severely eroded by the power of the Source.

These Taba had clear consciousness, which meant that the skill level of these Taba was around Grandmaster lv. 3 to lv. 5, and elite units would be even higher.

"Yi~ You!"

Three green-robed Ni-type Taba leaped up, shrieking. They had already nocked arrows while in mid-air. The exquisite longbows were highly resilient, and the bowstrings were woven from a translucent fiber, which was quite thin.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Arrow after arrow struck. The triangular metal arrowheads and the slender arrow shafts left no doubt about the penetrating power of these arrows.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With the crisp sound of metal clashing, Su Xiao slashed three times in a row, shattering the arrows aimed at his head, heart, and lower abdomen.

"Woo~ Ya!"

A Taba holding a blade-spear leaped over, the blade-spear thrusting straight down. At the same time, an arrow flew past his armpit, and another flew past his neck, all aimed at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao dodged sideways, but he couldn't avoid the blade-spear coming at him. He held his long blade horizontally, and the tip of the blade-spear grazed the blade.

With a sizzle, sparks emerged, and the blade-spear thrust past Su Xiao's neck. He kicked out straight.

Bang!

The blade-spear Taba was kicked in the lower abdomen, immediately kneeling on one knee and losing the ability to resist.

Clang!

Checking Zhan Long Shan slashed at the blade-spear Taba's neck, only to be blocked by two long blades. It was two purple-robed Taba.

The long blades clashed repeatedly. At this moment, Su Xiao's speed suddenly increased by a large margin.

Zing.

In the chaotic battle, a purple-robed Taba was decapitated and fell to the ground with a thud.

What does it feel like to be besieged by 14 enemies with Grandmaster-level skills? This was it. These rational Taba were much stronger than those driven by the power of the Source, but Su Xiao was stronger.

"Blade Dao Blade · Time."

Thud~

The shockwave spread, and everything around Su Xiao slowed down. He slowly leaned sideways, dodging a shot arrow, and simultaneously slashed upward.

Blood splattered everywhere. The blade-spear Taba who had just recovered had his neck slashed open. Even with the current sharpness of Checking Zhan Long Shan, he couldn't slaughter the Taba like chopping vegetables; that required the right opportunity.

Su Xiao leaned forward and charged, crystal layers clinging to his elbows. As he charged, he struck forward with his left elbow, hitting the blade-spear Taba's chin, sending him flying backward.

Squish, squish.

Two arrows pierced into the blade-spear Taba's body from behind. His tough body acted like a shield, helping Su Xiao block the arrows.

Su Xiao grabbed the blade-spear Taba's lapel, pulled him down hard, and held him to his side, stopping the two slashing long blades.

"Blade Dao Blade · Green Ghost."

Slashing forward, a cyan-blue blade aura shot out. A Ni-type Taba was just about to jump up to shoot an arrow when the blade aura slashed across his lower abdomen.

Sizzle~

The boundary-breaking thread tightened, and Su Xiao pulled his arm. The Ni-type Taba lost his sense of direction, and due to the severe pain in his abdomen, he released the bowstring in his hand.

Bang,

The arrow broke through the air, piercing into the eye socket of a purple-robed Taba beside Su Xiao. He had been preparing to sneak attack Su Xiao from the side.

Was this shot a coincidence? No, there are no such coincidences in battle.

"Blade Dao Blade · Extreme."

Su Xiao slashed with all his might, his blood energy gathering in front of him. With a boom, it erupted, and the purple-robed Taba blocking with his blade staggered backward.

Clang! Clang! With a snap, the purple-robed Taba's long blade shattered, and the blade light slashed across his neck. Suddenly, his body went numb.

Checking Zhan Long Shan flipped in Su Xiao's hand. He jumped backward while holding the blade backhanded, dodging four arrows and a slashing short blade.

Utilizing the momentum of the backward jump, the long blade in Su Xiao's hand stabbed into the chest of the purple-robed Taba, who was paralyzed by the Blue Steel Shadow energy.

The moment Su Xiao landed, his other hand pressed against the end of the hilt, pushing hard. The long blade pierced through the purple-robed Taba's chest, directly penetrating his heart.

Su Xiao disappeared from his spot and appeared behind two green-robed Taba, the two Ni-type Taba. With two consecutive slashes, the Ni-type Taba, being ranged units, had much weaker physical defense.

Two headless corpses fell. Su Xiao flicked the long blade in his hand. The remaining few Taba looked at each other, then all lowered their bodies. They were not afraid at all, just very vigilant.

Su Xiao hooked his foot, picking up a blade-spear from the ground. He held the blade-spear in one hand, his muscles slightly bulging, his right hand holding the blade, his left hand holding the blade-spear, nearly squatting on the ground.

With a bang, Su Xiao disappeared from his spot. With a whimper, the blade-spear swept across, shattering several slashing blade auras.

Boom!

The blade-spear smashed down from top to bottom, mud splattering. The surrounding Taba leaped away in all directions. Su Xiao appeared in front of a purple-robed Taba, slashing repeatedly with the long blade in his hand.

With the crisp sound of metal clashing and sparks splattering, the purple-robed Taba in front of Su Xiao struggled to hold on, but he blocked Su Xiao for a moment. At this moment, a long blade slashed from Su Xiao's side.

"Blade Dao Blade · Ring Break."

When the battle subsided, a large area of the surrounding pavilions had collapsed, and all 14 Taba had been slaughtered.

Su Xiao pulled an arrow from his lower abdomen. He could deal with thirty or so Taba driven by the power of the Source at the same time, but facing these rational Taba, each a Grandmaster of skills, dealing with a dozen at once was already very stressful.

【Prompt: You have obtained 210 Soul Coins.】

【You have obtained Ba Soul x42.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao was not surprised. For every ordinary Taba killed in the God Village, one could obtain 3 Ba Souls, and the Soul Coin yield was also significantly higher.

The increase in the acquisition of Ba Souls made Su Xiao feel the danger of the 【Source】. 'Ba Soul' is a product of the combination of the Taba's soul and the power of the Source. The higher the erosion level of the Taba, the fewer Ba Souls obtained after killing them. This means that the 【Source】 not only erodes the body but also erodes the soul, causing the Taba's soul to gradually become broken. The Taba have a peak period, and the Taba Su Xiao killed at this time were in their peak period.

"So, so strong."

Liu, who watched the whole battle, was stunned. In her impression, Su Xiao was stronger than her, but she didn't know exactly how much stronger, as she hadn't seen Su Xiao fight with her own eyes. But today, Liu saw it.

Woo~

The sound of wind breaking came from above. A figure fell from high altitude. Just as he was about to crash into the ground, he stepped on a blade-spear nailed to the ground.

With blue robes fluttering in the wind, a Taba holding a long blade appeared. The long blade in his hand was nearly 1.5 meters long, with a pendant tied to the end.

"You, how did you come to the God Village."

The blue Taba was about three meters tall, but he had no sense of clumsiness. The blade in his hand had bloodstains that couldn't be washed off, and the hair on both sides of his temples was tied into thin braids, with the rest of his hair hanging loose.

Su Xiao took out a bottle of 【Honor Recovery Potion】. He hadn't found the Taba's gathering place yet, and a strong enemy had already arrived. This enemy had to be dealt with at the cost of his life; the opponent was the leader of the Taba, the leader of the Qin.

The God Village is not a game dungeon where the strongest big boss waits foolishly at the final level, waiting for players to slowly fight their way through.

At this moment, Su Xiao had just entered the Taba's territory, and the strongest of the Taba had already arrived, seemingly bringing a group of underlings.

"I, cannot keep you, but she must stay."

The leader of the Qin leaped down from the blade-spear. At this moment, he suddenly leaned sideways and slashed diagonally.

With a swish, a wisp of blood splattered in the air. Baha appeared behind Su Xiao, its entire chest and abdomen slashed open.

"Boss, this guy is a bit ruthless, stronger than the clan leader."

"Hmm."

Just as Su Xiao was about to drink the 【Honor Recovery Potion】, Taba after Taba leaped over from the roofs of the pavilions in the distance. A conservative estimate was several hundred, among whom the aura of six Taba was particularly obvious. They were a large margin weaker than the leader of the Qin, but much stronger than ordinary Taba; these were elite Taba.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's gaze turned to Liu. Liu smiled reluctantly and nodded hard.

"Boss, let's retreat."

"..."

Su Xiao grabbed Baha's claws, and Baha flew toward the high altitude. Just a moment ago, Su Xiao saw frostbite on one of the elite Taba, and the residual ice energy aura was definitely left by Amu.

According to the adventure group's member list, Su Xiao knew Amu was not dead. As for its vital signs, he wasn't sure, but Amu was likely captured by the Taba.

Baha grabbed Su Xiao's arm and flew. Sound after sound of wind breaking came. Being in mid-air, Su Xiao slashed several blade auras, shattering the incoming arrows.

"Woo~ Ya!"

Taba after Taba shrieked, leaping on the roofs of the pavilions. At least several hundred Taba were chasing Su Xiao.

Liu stood where she was, not moving; she knew she couldn't escape.

A tall figure walked over, squatting in front of Liu, those blue pupils looking at Liu.

Liu's heartbeat began to accelerate. She suddenly raised her right hand, which was behind her back, and the short wooden stick in her hand smashed down.

Thud~

The short wooden stick smashed onto the forehead of the leader of the Qin. Facing Liu's attack, the leader of the Qin didn't feel the slightest pain, nor did he disdain to dodge.

The leader of the Qin placed his thumb on his index finger, reached out to Liu's forehead, and flicked.

Bang!

Liu flew out directly, smashing through a wall, and fainted in the ruins.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was integrated into the environment, shrank its head; just watching that hit made it hurt.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't retreat; it had to determine Amu's current location and where the Taba's gathering place was. Once these were determined, things would be much easier to handle.
