Chapter 2548

On the lake water that didn't even reach the ankles, blood dripped down the leader of the Qin's chin. The battle had been going on for only 5 minutes, but one of the leader of the Qin's arms had been severed, and his entire body was covered in slash marks.

The leader of the Qin's momentum of not being human just now was amazing. The level of the Source-erosion ability had increased by a full lv. 9. However, he had been half-blown to death by Apollo. In most cases, the survivability of skill-type powerhouses is not the top among various abilities, with exceptions.

The leader of the Qin 'ate' a pineapple, and when he fell from a thousand-meter altitude, he was smashed by architectural debris. This would have been nothing in the past, but in his already seriously injured state, the architectural debris falling from a thousand-meter altitude made his injuries worse.

If Su Xiao hadn't been guarding against 'Secret Technique · Heavenly Flow', the leader of the Qin would have become a corpse by now.

The Taba are not famous entirely for their skills; they pay more attention to Qin and Ni abilities. The purpose of practicing skills is to exercise the physique and improve willpower, preparing for drinking the source water.

Baha brought Amu and Liu from the distance, placing Amu and Liu on a giant rock in the lake. As for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, it had been watching the battle here for a long time.

"Hoo, hoo~"

The leader of the Qin panted heavily, staring at Su Xiao. He knew he was bound to lose, but even if he lost, he wanted the enemy to know that the combination of blade mastery and the power of the Source was strong enough.

The leader of the Qin pointed his long blade obliquely at the water surface, his aura restrained. This move was his secondary development of 'Secret Technique · Heavenly Flow', a blade mastery that belonged only to him.

"Ba Flow · Qin,"

The leader of the Qin disappeared from his spot. When he appeared again, he was behind Su Xiao. A few strands of Su Xiao's hair fell, and a bloodstain appeared on his cheek.

Drip, drip~

Blood dripped from the tip of Checking Zhan Long Shan into the water, diluted by the water. In the previous moment, he had relied on his own reaction speed to dodge the enemy's slash, and in the moment the opponent brushed past him, he slashed across the enemy's neck.

"What... happened?"

Liu blinked. She hadn't seen what happened at all just now, only seeing a flash of blade light.

"Don't understand, right? The leader of the Qin has lost."

Baha smiled, wanting to become a battlefield commentator. However, it didn't see clearly either. It could only pretend to be cool with Liu. In the previous moment, the slashes Su Xiao and the leader of the Qin exchanged were simply too fast.

If time were rewound 0.5 seconds, one would see the leader of the Qin, holding a long blade, suddenly appear in front of Su Xiao. His blade brought up a wisp of water marks, slashing straight at Su Xiao's head.

Just before the Qin Heart Blade was about to slash Su Xiao's head, Su Xiao lowered his body as if he had foreknowledge. The Qin Heart Blade slashed over his head, cutting off a few strands of hair, and at the same time, a blade-aura-shaped water drop grazed his cheek, leaving a bloodstain.

Checking Zhan Long Shan broke through a cold light, slashing into the front of the leader of the Qin's neck and out from the back of the neck. This slash didn't bring out a trace of blood; in fact, one couldn't even see a slash mark on the leader of the Qin's neck.

"Taba!"

After the leader of the Qin roared, his head fell into the water, and the headless corpse fell.

【Prompt: You have killed leader of the Qin · Nilo.】

【You have obtained a Holy Spirit-level treasure chest (49%).】

【You have obtained Qin Soul (special item). After using this item, you can obtain a certain amount of World Source. This item can only be used in this world.】

【Prompt: If you hand over Qin Soul to the Titan King, the Titan King can temporarily extinguish the burning blood in his body. This action will not completely consume Qin Soul.】

【Warning: This action will significantly increase the danger level in the Source God Village.】

【Prompt: If you hand over Qin Soul to the Titan King, the comprehensive evaluation of this world will likely reach s+.】

The effect of Qin Soul was somewhat intriguing. Su Xiao looked at the World Source, which had reached 117.85%. Since he started searching for the 【Source】, except for Ted, whom he didn't kill, he had slaughtered everyone who was hostile to him and from whom he could obtain World Source.

Using Qin Soul and Ni Soul, one could obtain a total of 25% of the World Source, bringing the total amount of World Source to 142.85%, still 7.15% short.

There was an extremely dangerous method that could not only allow the World Source to break through 150% but also potentially obtain an s+ comprehensive evaluation.

Su Xiao couldn't confirm the conjecture in his heart yet. He stepped on the shallow water under his feet and came to the front of the sky-blue 【Source】.

Taking out a small piece of 【Source】 from his storage space, after observing the main body of the 【Source】 for a moment, Su Xiao brought the 【Source】 in his hand close to the gap.

Click~

The small piece of 【Source】 in Su Xiao's hand was directly absorbed. This large piece of 【Source】 was now complete.

【You have obtained Source Crystal (Complete).】

【Detected that the Hunter has obtained all 'Source Crystals' held by the Taba. This 'Source Crystal' has water characteristics and is complete.】

【Yes/No to immediately complete the main quest, or stay in this world to find 'Source Crystal (Fire characteristic)'.】

【Prompt: Source Crystal (Fire characteristic) cannot be taken out of this world. After the Hunter obtains this item, the comprehensive evaluation will significantly increase when the world ends.】

【Prompt: Source Crystal (Water characteristic) can be taken out of this world. Due to the Taba's long-term cultivation, the energy activity of this item has undergone a qualitative change.】

Su Xiao's conjecture was confirmed. There were two Source Crystals. One was with the Taba and had water characteristics, which was why the Taba's core abilities were Qin and Ni, both related to water characteristics.

As for where the other fire-characteristic Source Crystal was, how did the royal blood appear? And the burning royal blood was fire-characteristic.

After Su Xiao took out a seed from his storage space, he threw the seed to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang caught it in one bite, subconsciously wanting to swallow it. Xiang Bubu had been used to catching food thrown by Su Xiao since it was born, but later Su Xiao rarely did this.

"Don't eat it."

"Woo~"

Su Xiao looked at the Source Crystal in the water and stabbed it with his blade.

With a snap, the long blade pierced into the Source Crystal. Su Xiao pushed hard, and the Source Crystal split from the center. What was wrapped inside was a crystal the size of a walnut, even more sky-blue. This was the main body of the Source Crystal.

Su Xiao's current behavior was almost equivalent to cutting off the spread of the water-characteristic source power, which also meant that from this moment on, there would be no more real Taba.

Taking out the most core Source, Su Xiao took the Moon Tree Seed handed over by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and placed this seed inside the shell of the Source Crystal. Crystal layers clung to it, wrapping the shell of the Source Crystal into its original appearance.

Su Xiao threw the shell of the Source Crystal into the Moonlight Lake and walked toward the valley on the other side of the lake. Not long after walking, the sound of breaking water came from behind.

A tree grew wildly in the lake water, forming a towering giant tree in less than half a minute. This was the Moon Tree, which was growing by absorbing the residual source power of the Moonlight Lake.

"Woo howl~"

An energy giant wolf howled on the Moon Tree. After howling, its body gradually shattered and floated toward Su Xiao, finally forming a cyan gemstone in his hand.

【Hidden Quest · Wolf's Last Wish completed. You have obtained Wolf Soul Stone (Holy Spirit-level · Full Rating Gemstone).】

Su Xiao put the 【Wolf Soul Stone】 into his storage space and continued walking.

"Thank you."

A vague voice came. Su Xiao ignored this voice. He was hesitating whether to open the seal of the other Source Crystal. That Source Crystal was completely different from the Taba's. That Source Crystal should be very violent and scorching, and the person guarding it would likely be much stronger than the leader of the Qin.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided not to go for now, first going to the blind old man to exchange items with Ba Souls, upgrading 【God's Judgment】 to Holy Spirit-level, and then going to break the seal of the other Source Crystal.
