Chapter 2568
Heros's giant monster servant headed toward the charging Su Xiao; it seemed to have inexhaustible strength throughout its body, which was the magic energy its master had bestowed upon it.
Su Xiao stopped his steps, and a rock wall smashed down in front of him with a boom, the ground trembling. This rock wall was at least several meters thick, over 50 meters high, and covered in magic patterns.
A near-terrifying magic reaction came from behind the rock wall. The spellcasters were also good at fighting; they were just stunned by Su Xiao when they first clashed. After they reacted, they immediately scattered.
"Energy Blocking."
Su Xiao stepped on the ground beneath him, and most of the magic reactions behind the rock wall came to an abrupt halt.
Su Xiao, holding his blade with one hand, slashed forward, followed by a direct kick.
With a rumble, the rock wall shattered, gravel splashing everywhere. The moment the rock wall shattered, gravity was suddenly lost within half a kilometer around.
Not far away, the dead-fish-eyed spellcaster pressed his palms together, his body floating in mid-air. For a spellcaster, even if the surrounding gravity disappeared, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
"Arrow Weight, Float..."
The dead-fish-eyed spellcaster had just made a gesture of grabbing forward with one hand when he felt someone behind him.
"Will die, will die immediately."
The hair all over the dead-fish-eyed spellcaster's body stood on end, and a repulsive force spread with him as the center.
With a swish, a blade light flashed, leaving a trace of blood. The dead-fish-eyed spellcaster was surprised to find that his body had become very light. At the brink of death, he saw a pair of blue eyes.
Killing an enemy with one blade, Su Xiao landed, and the feeling of weightlessness disappeared. Just as he was about to charge toward a nearby spellcaster, he felt a sense of restraint coming from around him.
Two black-blue giant hands grabbed Su Xiao, and a magic giant statue over ten meters tall appeared behind him. In the distance, Magic Instructor Heros was making a gesture of grabbing with both hands, remotely controlling the magic giant statue to grab Su Xiao.
"Right now!"
Boom, boom, boom...
Countless attacks bombarded Su Xiao; this was the wild bombardment of dozens of spellcasters.
With a crack, the hands of the magic giant statue crumbled, and Su Xiao charged straight toward the dozens of magic-type abilities bombarding him; the attacks were already so numerous that it was impossible to distinguish their types.
Just as Su Xiao was about to be swallowed by the numerous attacks, his figure became illusory, and the Dragon Shadow Flash ability was activated.
When Su Xiao reappeared, he was already near a dozen spellcasters.
"Empty Ring..."
Pfft!
The long blade slashed past, the skull of a Seventh Tier spellcaster flew up, and other nearby spellcasters shouted and leaped backward.
Just after slashing one blade, dark matter eroded toward Su Xiao. Blade of the Dark Shadow energy gathered on his left hand, and he swung a punch outward.
Thud~
This piece of dark matter cracked like a mirror, and Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from where he was.
Several consecutive blade lights flashed, and five spellcasters retreated, blood spraying from all over their bodies.
"Blade Path Blade, Ring Break."
A pale blue ring-shaped blade light spread, and the magic fluctuations around Su Xiao disappeared. He leaped up, and flames surged from the front.
The long blade pierced through the flames, stabbing into the center of a spellcaster's brow, nearly pinning him to the ground. The moment Su Xiao landed, the long blade in his hand was held horizontally at his side, using the spellcaster's corpse as a shield.
With a bang, the corpse beside him shattered. Su Xiao grabbed the head floating in mid-air, using the enemy's fresh blood to transform into blood energy, controlling this blood energy to gather into the head in his hand.
"Roar!!"
A beast roar spread from the head in Su Xiao's hand, sound waves mixed with blood energy spreading to the surroundings. The spellcasters affected all covered their heads with one hand, their faces showing pain.
Taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, Su Xiao stepped on the ground beneath him and charged in front of two spellcasters. Loud noises came from behind him—it was the magic-type abilities that had missed.
One blade cut the throat, one blade cut the waist; two spellcasters lost their lives. This is the fate of being approached by Su Xiao. It's not that they didn't want to use spells, but they hadn't recovered from the side effects of Energy Blocking.
A whimpering sound came from Su Xiao's side, and a great force appeared. A light-type ability with an intense burning sensation enveloped him.
Su Xiao was blasted flying sideways, landing in a half-squatting posture. Just as he landed, several energy spikes struck, pinning into a row on the ground as he dodged.
More than ten meters away from Su Xiao, a female spellcaster was smiling at him. Her right hand made a gesture of firing a gun, and a black brand appeared on Su Xiao's cheek. Black threads spread from within the black brand, clinging along Su Xiao's skin, intending to restrain his mobility.
These black threads had just spread to the size of a palm before they receded. The female spellcaster in the distance showed confusion. The next instant, the black threads spread on her own skin, and she froze in place, unable to move.
The female spellcaster's vision turned pitch black, and a pair of eyes suddenly opened in the darkness in front of her. These eyes, flashing with red light, were staring at her.
Crack, crack~
The female spellcaster seemed to hear something shattering. The scene before her eyes, like a broken mirror, collapsed rapidly—the Soul Gaze ability was triggered.
A stream of transparent energy drifted out from the female spellcaster's body. Su Xiao charged past her corpse, and the transparent energy clung to the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.
The spellcasters' attacks on Su Xiao were almost like individual small map-clearing cannons. In the past, these magic-type abilities were invincible, but today they met their nemesis. The Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, imbued with Blade of the Dark Shadow energy, could shatter these magic-type abilities.
Su Xiao charged forward quickly. Suddenly, frost exploded beneath his feet. Before he was frozen, he threw the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan in his hand with all his might.
The Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan pierced out with an air explosion, sinking into the lower abdomen of a spellcaster paralyzed by Energy Blocking. Because the location was not fatal, to this spellcaster, this was only a minor injury.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding spellcasters' eyes turned red. They were not angry because of their companion's death; everyone present was a veteran of many battles, and the Void is not a peaceful place.
Their eyes turned red because Su Xiao had thrown his blade and was frozen into an ice sculpture by the frost—this was an opportunity.
The spellcasters all knew that they couldn't continue the wild bombardment at this time; the enemy's resistance to spells was unreasonably strong, and he was like a person who had nothing wrong after taking several Seventh Tier spells head-on.
Seven spellcasters pressed their hands on the ground, constantly thickening the ice sculpture that imprisoned Su Xiao, the strength increasing exponentially. The leader of this spell saw sweat on his forehead; only he knew how difficult it was to trap Su Xiao.
Seventeen spellcasters gathered together, their internal magic power surging out, quickly constructing an arcane array.
Just as the arcane array was being constructed, the spellcaster whose lower abdomen had been pierced by the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan had a twisted face. His name was Xipu; he was neither strong nor weak among his peers. He pulled out the long blade from his lower abdomen and walked forward quickly.
"Get out of the way!"
Xipu's desperate shout spread. He slashed with his blade at the companion in front of him—the spellcaster who was concentrating on using frost to imprison Su Xiao.
Pfft, pfft...
Xipu held the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan with strange movements, slashing wildly at his companion in front of him. The other spellcasters around were stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on.
A dark green energy giant hammer smashed Xipu to pieces. Amidst the shattered flesh and blood, the fragments of Banishment clung to the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, flying toward the ice sculpture where Su Xiao was.
The ice sculpture shattered with a boom after losing its leader, and the frost spread to the surroundings.
Su Xiao held the flying Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan with one hand, and the index finger of his left hand, wrapped in a metal gauntlet, pointed in the air.
With a crack, blue arcs of electricity spread, and the arcane array that had been mostly constructed suddenly twisted and then exploded. The dozen or so spellcasters nearby instantly turned into dust particles—this is the power of the arcane.
Su Xiao was intentionally frozen, just waiting for the enemy to construct a lethal, high-power spell; killing spellcasters one by one was too slow.
Su Xiao checked the attributes of 【Dark Walk Confusion】. This is an object similar to charcoal. After throwing it out, it can affect 1–5 enemies within 50 meters, making their minds blurred for about 5 seconds.
"Heros, let's retreat!"
An elderly spellcaster with a head full of white hair rushed to Heros. For him, this battle simply couldn't be fought. Fighting until now, he had lain on the ground twice; he felt that if it happened again, he wouldn't even need the enemy to kill him—he would die. Every time his spellcasting was interrupted, his body felt like it was about to be torn apart.
If it was interrupted at the beginning of spellcasting, it would be fine, but if it was interrupted after the embryonic form of the spell had formed, it was truly agonizing. The unformed magic-type ability, having lost control, would explode directly.
Magic-type abilities that explode at close range do not distinguish between friend and foe. Even if the power is not as strong as a full-form magic-type ability, being exploded while the body is numb is equally heart-wrenching.
The white-haired old man felt that even if the Law-Breaker did nothing and just forced them to cast spells, they would die of their own accord before long. Not to mention that the opponent held a long blade, and that long blade was ridiculously sharp; magic-type defensive capabilities were basically non-existent. Their bodies, enhanced by various means as spellcasters, couldn't even withstand a single slash.
"Cannot retreat."
Heros, who was emitting black smoke, spoke, his expression extremely gloomy. Just a moment ago, he had also been exploded by his own unformed ability, and his left eye had almost been blinded.
"Still not leaving?"
The white-haired old man glared at Heros.
"Except for the limited space-type ones, do you think we can outrun him?"
Heros pointed to the spellcasters scattered in the distance. A pale blue afterimage shuttled between these spellcasters, and from time to time, a spellcaster would fall, or a head would fly up, and the wild bombardment of spells never stopped for a moment.
The white-haired old man was speechless. He estimated Su Xiao's speed and his own "short legs"—it seemed he couldn't even run.
"Tell me, how did the predecessors deal with Law-Breakers?"
Heros spoke expressionlessly. Hearing his words, the white-haired old man showed confusion.
"Continue to fight him; the energy in his body will eventually be exhausted."
Heros realized how the predecessors dealt with Law-Breakers: it was to drag it out, drag it out until the energy in the Law-Breaker's body was exhausted, and then surround and attack.
