Chapter 2834: Personal Grudge

Many signs indicated that it was the Priest of the Sanctuary Paradise who killed the other contractors, but why did the 24 contractors of the Sanctuary Paradise side, other than the Priest, never speak on the World Communication Platform?

There was a possibility that these 24 Sanctuary Paradise contractors were all accomplices of the Priest, which was why they remained silent, creating an atmosphere where they were imprisoned or even in a coma, unable to activate their brands to post messages.

Assuming this matter was really done by the Priest, and he was preparing to obtain powerful strength through a "sacrificial flow" method, the blood text in the grand hall should have been cleared by the Priest.

If it were Su Xiao doing this kind of thing, he would have directly blown up the grand hall, leaving no traces, or perhaps that grand hall was very important to the Priest and couldn't be easily destroyed?

For some reason, compared to the Moon Apostle who might be in this world, Su Xiao felt that the Priest was actually more troublesome. Once the opponent was really a "sacrificial flow" and had sacrificed more than 200 contractors of the Sanctuary Paradise, the strength the opponent obtained would be very strong.

As the saying goes, sacrifice teammates to the heavens, magic power is boundless.

What couldn't be explained was that this was currently during the World Contest. Let alone sacrificing 200+ contractors of his own side, even if he sacrificed 1 teammate, the Priest would be forcibly executed by the Sanctuary Paradise.

The Priest clearly used some method to circumvent this point, but how it was executed specifically was unknown.

But Su Xiao could be sure of one point: this old guy was very sinister. Last time he summoned the Zerg on the Primordial Continent, suppressing the enemy, leading to only a few people on the enemy side gaining benefits, and the Priest was one of those who gained benefits. The opponent didn't show his hand throughout the process, yet lived to the end.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment and decided to ignore the Priest's side for the time being. No matter how that side managed it, the final goal was still to seize the World Core.

Paying the restaurant owner 510 Gulang, Su Xiao went up to the second floor. There was one thing he hadn't done, which led to him not daring to fight with full strength recently.

The god-spirit energy he had seized from the Sanctuary god-stick earlier, Su Xiao had never absorbed, keeping it all suppressed in the Devour Core. Fortunately, the Devour Core had become much stronger along with his strength, otherwise, suppressing so much god-spirit energy would have caused problems in at most a few hours.

Earlier, Su Xiao had seemed to have free time in the City of Smoke, but in reality, he had no chance to absorb the god-spirit energy. In that ghostly place of the City of Smoke, even in the Magic Association's branch, he couldn't guarantee safety. Once he was attacked during the process of absorbing god-spirit energy, the problem would be big.

Baida City was much safer than the City of Smoke. After Su Xiao walked into the guest room on the second floor, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahamut stood guard in the surroundings.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Xiao sensed his body, activated the Devour Core ability, and began to convert and filter the god-spirit energy through the Devour Core.

The god-spirit energy that had been suppressed was released from restrictions. Su Xiao felt a slight swelling pain coming from his chest. As he manipulated the Devour Core, this swelling pain gradually receded.

The Devour Core first converted the god-spirit energy. The fluorescent blue god-spirit energy gradually turned into light blue, and then it was filtered, stripping away all the characteristics of these energies, making them pure.

A colorless energy appeared in Su Xiao's body. The Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body swarmed up, and after devouring this colorless energy, it began to strengthen.

This process lasted for nearly an hour. Su Xiao felt the last trace of god-spirit energy in his body being converted, filtered, and finally devoured.

【Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying skill has been upgraded to lv. 61.】

【Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying skill has been upgraded to lv. 62.】

【Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying: lv. 62 (Active/Passive Skill)】

Usage condition: After activating the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability, consume 210 mana points per minute (upgraded by 20 points).

Active effect: Each melee attack will burn 687 mana points of the enemy (upgraded by 30 points) and cause true damage 1.6 times the burned mana points (1099 points of true damage + Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan upgrade 25% = 1374 points of true damage). The enemy will suffer intense pain after mana burning.

Passive effect: When the enemy suffers mana burning, there is a 23% chance to trigger one of three abnormal states: paralysis, immobilization, or dizziness...

Defensive form: Proud Song (Active)...

Combat form: Shadow-Severing Blade (Passive). Because the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy has undergone a qualitative change, after the weapon is imbued with Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy, it will increase the sharpness of this weapon by 45%.

Prompt: This ability only takes effect on the exclusive weapon of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow (Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan).

Su Xiao exhaled slowly. He had felt like he was carrying a weight all along; at this moment, he had completely removed the weight, feeling very relaxed.

That ghostly place of the City of Smoke was the gathering place for high-end combat power in this world. The living resources there were barren, but it produced black crystals and primordial soul energy. As long as those with strength and ambition were there, they would all gather toward that side.

After Su Xiao meditated in the room for ten minutes, the door was pushed open. It was Amu coming to meet up.

"Amu, hungry."

While Amu spoke, it tore off a piece of the door and ate it in its mouth. As for the food brought in the team storage space, it had already been eaten up. Since leaving the Azure Dragon Continent, Amu's appetite had grown.

With Amu's combat strength, it could of course seize food. In its solo journey, it strictly followed Su Xiao's orders: not to provoke trouble voluntarily, but if anyone provoked it, then kill them all, kill them all without leaving one.

Not provoking trouble = not interacting with others at will = no food = hungry.

Taking Amu to a dozen restaurants, spending a total of 80,000 Gulang, Amu ate until it was 90% full, even hiccuping.

Amu successfully met up. As for Benny, it didn't know where it had run off to. Every time it entered a mission world, it would go treasure hunting.

Buying a map, Su Xiao began to look for the location of the Ganglu Dynasty's ancient capital on the map. Finding that place meant finding the Sun Temple.

Soon, Su Xiao found the location of the Ganglu Dynasty's ancient capital. Fortunately, there was an orbital train in Baida City that could reach near there.

Twenty minutes later, Su Xiao sat on an orbital train. This iron beast was driven by black crystals + steam, manufactured by the Steam Alliance.

*Whoosh. *

A large amount of steam sprayed out from under the train, and the train started. There were almost no passengers on the train. The train on this line was like this all year round, more used for transporting goods. There was only one carriage for passengers.

Inside the carriage, Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang were on the same row of seats. Opposite were Amu and Bahamut. Diagonally opposite sat a smiling youth. This was a contractor from his side.

"The scenery on the Eastern Continent is still better. South Island is too remote."

The smiling youth was chewing something in his mouth, always maintaining a smile, making his eyes look like they were closed.

"You guys also just returned to Baida City on the Eastern Continent? Got ripped off by the Magic Association for a teleportation fee, right? Eastern Continent, South Island, North Archipelago, three initial teleportation points. Those with good luck are on the Eastern Continent, and those with bad luck are on South Island or North Archipelago. By the way, my name is Kachi."

The youth calling himself Kachi smiled. The South Island and North Archipelago he mentioned were islands near the Eastern Continent. With the Eastern Continent as the center, quite a few contractors were teleported to those two sides. The danger level of those two sides was close to that of the Eastern Continent.

"Right, we just returned to the Eastern Continent. Looks like we are very unlucky."

Bahamut didn't lie; it was indeed just returning to the Eastern Continent.

"It doesn't matter, I am very lucky," Kachi still smiled and said: "As long as I am on the same transportation tool, good luck will..."

*Bang!! *

A beam of light slanted over, tearing the entire carriage into two halves. Other carriages that were moving flew up more than ten meters high before crashing onto the wasteland by the side of the road.

Su Xiao walked out from the carriage broken into two halves. The steel at the break was glowing red.

"Little brother, your luck isn't that great either."

Bahamut landed on Amu's shoulder.

"You guys don't interfere; this is my personal matter."

Kachi's hand stabbed out from the carriage. Amidst the twisting sound of steel, he walked out from the carriage.

Two men and one woman walked over from the distance. The leader was a man wearing light armor, with earrings on his ears. These were three contractors from the Death Paradise: one tank-type, one assassination-type, and one healing-type. Two kilometers away, there was another contractor capable of ultra-long-range attacks.

"Blue Knight, are you guys dogs?"

Kachi didn't take out his weapon, but he was already prepared to take on four.

"Found accomplices? Summoning-type?"

Blue Knight swept a glance at Su Xiao with his peripheral vision. He focused more of his attention on Kachi; the opponent had slaughtered one of his teammates.

Blue Knight didn't perceive Su Xiao's blood energy. It could be said that except for perception-types, or those with strength similar to Su Xiao, as long as he didn't release his active aura, enemies couldn't easily perceive him.

"Don't misunderstand, you and I have a personal grudge, you and him are in opposing positions. So, you guys can take on one first. After I die, it will be his turn."

While Kachi was speaking, Su Xiao leaped onto the overturned carriage and sat on it. Based on his understanding of the lunatics on his side, if he made a move now, the lunatics on his side would 80-90% likely treat him as an attack target too. This kind of thankless task, he never did.

Seeing Su Xiao sitting on the top of the carriage, Kachi's shoulders trembled with laughter, saying:

"See, after I die, you'll need to deal with him."

Just as Kachi finished speaking, a beam of light as thick as an arm suddenly blasted from the distance, heading straight for Su Xiao's chest.

*Boom! * The overturned train shattered, fragments and mud splashed. Su Xiao stood on the train wreckage, flames burning around him.

"That guy named... Kachi, disappear within 10 seconds, otherwise you die first."

The crystal layer on Su Xiao's chest shattered, and he leaped down from the train wreckage.

"Not good!"

Kachi seemed to perceive something. He leaped sideways, his body turning into golden sand, gradually merging into the air.

Su Xiao drew Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. The situation now had changed from opposing positions to a personal grudge. ===== CHAPTER 2835 =====
