Chapter 2836: Ten

Kubaluk ruins, underground.

The spatial crack expanded. Three spikes attacked, sinking into the spatial crack, wanting to use this to stop the spatial crack from opening completely.

After the three energy spikes sank into the spatial crack, they lost all sound, as if swallowed by darkness. Seeing this, a female contractor with pointed ears retreated half a step. The blood energy that had attacked just now had already made her heart sprout the intention to retreat.

This female contractor was named Biyulai. The man standing side-by-side with her was called Ice Demon. Nearby, a completely transparent figure was standing there. This transparent person was Enka.

Biyulai, Ice Demon, and Enka, these three, were the temporary leaders of this small team. Any one of them couldn't convince the others, so only the three could make decisions together.

The World Contest was about to start, yet these 19 Apocalypse side contractors were searching for a stone slab in this ancient ruin. From this, it could be seen that their attitude toward the World Contest was that they would never go to the ancient capital until the last moment.

"Enka, what's going on? Aren't you space-type? Hurry up and think of a way to stop it."

Ice Demon spoke coldly. Hearing his words, the completely transparent Enka snorted coldly on the side.

"I suggest you guys retreat."

Enka's attitude was very clear. It was none of his business. As a space-type, having this mentality was very normal.

The spatial crack opened completely. Several contractors who were attacking the spatial crack from a distance slowed their movements.

*Pop! * The crystal layer on Benny's body shattered. Su Xiao walked out from the spatial crack, looked at the bloodstains on his hand, and then scanned the group of contractors ahead.

"Only... one person?"

"The opponent is a contractor, just with relatively strong strength. Steady, we can deal with him."

Ice Demon's words made the group of contractors near him feel much more at ease. The blood energy just now had made their hearts sprout the intention to retreat, but the enemy had already arrived, so they had to fight. Moreover, there were 19 of them.

"This friend, is that your summon?"

A curly-haired man smiled and spoke. He was a charm-specialized contractor.

"We are a mining team and won't participate in the subsequent World Contest, so our two sides can't be considered enemies. Before, we didn't know this cat was a summon. Misunderstandings don't matter; how to resolve the misunderstanding is what's important..."

*Zing! *

Blade Dao Blade: Flow slashed past. Su Xiao didn't have the habit of listening to enemy nonsense.

A bloodstain appeared diagonally on the curly-haired man's face. His upper half of his head slowly slid off from the side, finally hitting the ground with a *thud*.

"Move!"

Ice Demon roared. He slapped the wall beside him, and ice spread along the wall, instantly freezing Su Xiao.

*Bang! * A metal rod smashed onto the ice sculpture. The upper half of the ice sculpture shattered, and it was empty inside.

"Behind."

Biyulai shouted loudly. She felt her blood almost turning cold. The enemy's attack was simply too sharp. Just one slash, and it instantly killed their summoning-type.

Energy threads spread from Biyulai's whole body. She had already detected the enemy's position. The enemy had already appeared behind them the moment he was frozen.

The long blade stabbed into the frozen wall, the blade already stained with blood. A transparent figure gradually appeared.

"Hah, hah~"

The space-type Enka made a strange sound in his throat. His eyes widened to the maximum. He didn't know when, but a long blade had already pierced through his head from the side, nailing him to the wall. It was simply too fast, fast to the point he couldn't perceive it.

*Swish! * The long blade was pulled out from the wall. Enka, whose head was pierced, collapsed to his knees on the ground with a *thud*. He used his last bit of strength to clasp his hands together, wanting to activate his spatial ability to escape.

*Splat. *

The long blade slashed across Enka's neck, the blade tip shedding a wisp of blood beads. Enka maintained the posture of kneeling with hands clasped and didn't move.

One by one, the Apocalypse contractors leaped away, or rushed forward rapidly, staying far away from Su Xiao. Forced to the position where Benny had been just now, these 17 people stood with their backs to the blood-stained wall, no one daring to act rashly, fearing they would become the next target.

*Drip, drip~*

Fresh blood dripped along the blade tip. Su Xiao hooked his finger and threw a bottle of potion to Benny. Benny, lying on his shoulder, hugged the potion bottle and leaped behind him.

"Ice Demon, fight him to the death."

Biyulai spoke coldly. Ice Demon beside her nodded.

"All bring out your true skills, otherwise we will die here today."

Hearing Ice Demon's words, the other dozen contractors all responded one after another. Some took out Holy Spirit-grade items, some took out several gems.

"The enemy is melee-type, find a way to suppress him."

Biyulai's shouting voice had just fallen when she discovered that the enemy opposite had already sheathed his long blade.

"Blade Dao Blade: Ring Sever."

Circular blade glows expanded in the underground passage. The walls on both sides were slashed through. And opposite, several layers of defensive shields or energy barriers appeared.

*Sizzle! * Like a sharp weapon sliding across glass, a layer of energy barrier was cut open.

Located behind the energy barrier, a contractor holding a heavy hammer had already set up his stance. The heavy hammer in his hand swung out a wind-breaking sound, smashing onto the slashing Ring Sever.

Ring Sever was smashed. The man holding the heavy hammer pressed his weapon to the ground, not letting others see the slash mark on the front of the heavy hammer. He prepared to escape while others rushed forward. This one strike had numbed both his arms.

"Nothing remarkable, technique-types don't have strong survivability. Now!"

The hammer man shouted loudly, but in the next instant, a chill rose along the soles of his feet, rushing straight to his crown, because opposite, Su Xiao had sheathed his long blade again.

"Blade Dao Blade: Ten: Ring Sever."

*Zing, zing, zing... *

Dense Ring Severs expanded toward the surroundings. Behind Su Xiao, Benny spread its four claws, its chin pressed against the ground, its tail laid flat, making its body as flat against the ground as possible.

One after another, Ring Severs expanded toward the surroundings. The hammer man bore the brunt. Facing the slash of Ring Sever, it wasn't that he was brave, choosing to block at the very front, but that he had no chance to retreat.

*Clang! *

Ring Sever slashed onto the heavy hammer held vertically by the hammer man. He held the hammer handle with both hands, blocking this Holy Spirit-grade weapon in front of his chest. After blocking the first Ring Sever, the durability of this weapon became 127/140.

Immediately after, the second Ring Sever attacked. The hammer man had no choice. He let out a low drink, activating a certain ability, making his whole body reveal white light.

The second Ring Sever slashed onto the heavy hammer. The durability of this weapon slid to 102 points. When the third one attacked, the durability of the heavy hammer slid directly to 27 points. The exterior of this weapon was completely damaged.

*Snap! * The heavy hammer fragments splashed. The hammer man's eyes widened. His already numb hands pushed forward. The instinct for survival made him abandon his arms, intending to block the fourth Ring Sever.

The fourth Ring Sever first cut open the hammer man's palms, then slashed into his arms, finally slashing out from under his arms, slashing the hammer man's chest into two halves. While his upper half of his body was falling, his head was slashed into two halves by the fifth Ring Sever.

When the slash of "Ten: Ring Sever" ended, only seven surviving Apocalypse side contractors remained. Two had their arms slashed off, leaning against the blood-stained and slash-marked wall. The remaining five also had bloodstains on them.

The entire underground passage was on the verge of collapse. Su Xiao didn't give the enemy any chance to surround him at all.

"He just finished using his ultimate ability and is in the recovery stage. Go!"

Ice Demon's hands pressed on the ground. Biyulai beside him rushed forward. She couldn't care about anything else. She had originally thought the enemy was melee, but it turned out he wasn't at all. The enemy hadn't even approached them, yet he had killed 12 of them in a row.

Biyulai pounced forward. While in mid-air, her fingernails became exceptionally sharp. When she pierced through the air, she even brought out several black marks. Being injured by this ability, even if it were Su Xiao, he would have to pay a certain price. Tier 7 contractors all had their own trump cards.

"Blade Dao Blade: Ten: Ring Sever."

Su Xiao sheathed the long blade in his hand. Seeing this scene, the few people rushing toward him felt a buzz in their brains, among whom two turned and fled.

*Zing. *

Circular blade glows expanded. When the slashing momentum of "Ten: Ring Sever" subsided, only Biyulai, whose legs and one arm had been slashed off, remained. On the ground around her, it was full of severed limbs.

Su Xiao held the blade with one hand, the blade tip pointing obliquely at the ground, and walked toward Biyulai. Biyulai, full of bloodstains, sat on the ground, laboriously retreating backward.

"We, we didn't know that was a summon, and didn't think about killing it, really, please believe me."

Biyulai shuffled her body backward. Soon, her back hit the wall, and there was no retreat.

"Wait, wait, I can give you 50%..."

Halfway through Biyulai's words, a slash glow flashed across her neck.

Su Xiao flicked the bloodstains on the blade. Benny leaped onto his shoulder. Taking Benny, Su Xiao walked out of the underground passage.
