Chapter 2605: Technique vs. Technique

After taking a slash from Su Xiao, Ice Lord's entire back went numb. He instinctively lunged forward.

"Cocoa Bean!!"

As a strong man, Ice Lord's shout at this moment was a bit shrill. From this, it could be seen what kind of damage this slash, which carried true damage, soul damage, defense-ignoring damage, and blade damage, had caused to his soul.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away, Cocoa Bean, hiding in the bushes, shrank her head. She didn't know why Ice Lord shouted so miserably, but she still raised the short staff in her hand and used a healing ability on Ice Lord.

A golden afterimage flew toward Ice Lord. Everything was a long story, but from the time these contractors fought Su Xiao until now, only a few seconds had passed.

【Blade Dao Blade · Time.】

With a *thud*, an impact spread. The seven contractors who were lunging toward Su Xiao around him slowed down. They were all melee-types or assassin-types.

A golden energy arrow half a meter long flew into the range of 【Blade Dao Blade · Time】 and also slowed down. This was a healing ability.

*Zheng. *

The long blade surging with blue electric arcs slashed past. The golden energy arrow in mid-air was slashed to pieces with one blade. The seven contractors lunging from around all saw this scene, and their expressions were like seeing a ghost, because their enemy had actually slashed their own healing-type ability to pieces.

The inactive golden energy hit Ice Lord's face. He didn't feel the feeling of bathing in the sun as before, but instead, his face hurt a bit. If he checked the combat log, he would find that he had just suffered 6 points of ability erosion damage.

【Blade Dao Blade · Ring Break.】

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand was sheathed. The seven contractors lunging toward him all changed to retreating. The sense of crisis was too strong, and the air around them was like amber, making their movements very slow.

*Zheng! *

A blue-cyan ring-shaped slash spread. Sometimes, the simpler the move, the more practical it was.

A silver bullet, plus two magic-type abilities, and a white-hot energy beam hit Su Xiao.

*Boom! * Dust surged. The seven melee-types with varying degrees of injury retreated and surrounded Su Xiao in a circle.

A gust of wind blew away the dust. Blood dripped along Su Xiao's left arm. A silver bullet penetrated the crystal layer and entered his shoulder.

Su Xiao's shoulder exerted force. The twisted bullet head in his body was pushed out by his muscles and Qing Gang Ying energy. He grabbed the twisted bullet head flying in mid-air and made a throwing gesture.

*Boom!! *

An air explosion spread. This twisted bullet head drew an afterimage and flew past the cheek of a female sniper lying on a tree half a kilometer away, leaving a bloodstain. 0.5 seconds later, her injured cheek trembled, and a chill rose in the bottom of her heart.

"Don't be afraid, we are 20 against 1."

The contractor holding the large blade shouted, and he was the first to lunge toward Su Xiao.

The melee began. Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from where he was and appeared in front of Ice Lord. Ice Lord almost shouted "Ow." He really wanted to ask: "Big brother, what grudge do you have against tank-types? Isn't it better to kill others first?"

In fact, Su Xiao had no grudge against tank-types, but the tank-type's domain ability was a very special control, or rather, suppression. This kind of suppression was something Su Xiao could not exempt.

【Blade Dao Blade · Absolute...】

Su Xiao was just about to slash, but the space around him twisted. When the twisting ended, a very sharp figure appeared beside him.

【Instant · Life Lock.】

Axiwa leaped up. She used her arms to hug Su Xiao's right arm holding the blade, tilted her head, and bit under Su Xiao's wrist with her teeth, while her legs were coiled around Su Xiao's neck. She only needed to maintain it for 1.5 seconds to completely lock the enemy.

The Qing Gang Ying energy in Su Xiao's body gathered, all gathering near his heart. His heart beat very hard with a *thud*, and blood was transported to his whole body, so that his carotid artery would not be closed, leading to brain hypoxia.

The crystal layer gathered on Su Xiao's left hand. His palm was like a blade, and the release clung to his fingertips, forming a blade-tip shape.

Su Xiao's left hand stabbed horizontally, directly into Axiwa's side waist. At this moment, the pupils in her eyes trembled.

Su Xiao's left hand stabbed into the flesh, penetrated the organs, and headed straight for Axiwa's heart. There were still 0.6 seconds left before Su Xiao was locked.

Axiwa twisted her body, released Su Xiao's right arm and neck, and then rushed from behind. Just as she was about to hug Su Xiao's neck from behind, the elbow wrapped in the crystal layer had already enlarged rapidly in front of her eyes.

Axiwa only felt a *buzz* in her brain, and then the sound of slashing wind came from the front. The enemy simply knew exactly what she was going to do.

The reason Su Xiao was so adept at dealing with this technique-type enemy was mainly because of Sha. Sha also had a similar combat style, but Sha mainly used throwing and kicking techniques. She had kicked Su Xiao many times with the move "Mad Scorpion Tail." However, after Su Xiao reached Tier 7, Sha never mentioned sparring again.

【Blade Dao Blade · Flow.】

A wind mark slashed past. The three melee-types lunging toward Su Xiao froze in place. The next moment, they turned into six sections and fell to the ground.

"This bastard didn't get serious when fighting for the Life Essence."

Axiwa knew it couldn't be done. She seriously suspected that among all the contractors in this world, except for the current Gaske, the one they were besieging right now was the strongest. Originally, the enemy's danger level was ranked fourth, lower than Gaske, the Gourmet, and the Priest. Now it seemed that was not the case.

【Blade Dao Blade · Green Ghost.】

Su Xiao slashed diagonally. The moment the slash flew out, he dodged a long dagger with spatial characteristics. It would be very bad to be injured by this weapon.

"Roar."

A low roar came. A figure rushed out from another space, like a beast pouncing on food.

【Blade Dao Blade · Extreme.】

The slash mark passed. The figure pouncing from another space turned into a headless corpse. Among all blade technique moves, except for the "Flow" that hadn't been developed yet, "Extreme" had the strongest lethality.

【Blade Dao Blade · Time...】

Su Xiao used blade technique moves one after another, slashing the surrounding contractors until they were a bit dumbfounded.

"Retreat first!"

Axiwa shouted, and an array appeared under everyone's feet. These people all disappeared.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the ground. Based on his experience, this kind of spatial ability that teleported many people at once wouldn't teleport them too far.

A subtle vibration came from the east side. He flashed and disappeared from where he was.

Hundreds of meters away, 16 contractors were running for their lives. The originally set siege formation collapsed due to Ice Lord's failure. If it weren't for Axiwa being decisive enough and holding Su Xiao back for a while, it would have been difficult to retreat.

"Disperse, gather at the predetermined location, I'll lure him away."

After saying this, Axiwa stopped in place, but she waited for a full half a minute, and Su Xiao didn't chase.

One kilometer away, a perception-type contractor was panting heavily. He didn't run very fast, but fortunately, the enemy didn't chase, otherwise, he would definitely die.

"Is Ice Lord blind?"

Just as the perception-type contractor's voice fell, he sensed an aura approaching rapidly, and then dozens of crisscrossing blade slashes came.

"Really think highly of me, being so serious to deal with a perception-type like me."

Su Xiao fought the perception-type contractor one-on-one, and the battle ended quickly. It was quiet around. His preparations earlier had taken effect. Except for Xibeier, everyone who had seen him go all out was dead. The gun hits the bird that sticks its head out. Being considered the strongest one made it easy to be targeted.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Su Xiao learned where these people's gathering point was. Bubu Wang, who had merged into the environment, had been following the tank-type contractor Ice Lord among these people.

Su Xiao took out the 【Ancient Mask】 and dripped a drop of blood on it. After he put on the Ancient Mask, his clothing and aura changed rapidly, becoming the appearance of the perception-type contractor. ===== CHAPTER 2606 =====
