Chapter 2943: Heart-Worrying Problem

The battlefield had turned into an ice field. The storm's momentum slowed down, and the sky was no longer pitch black. Between the gaps in the dark clouds, one could see a golden ray of sunlight.

Su Xiao held his sword with one hand, confronting the enemy opposite. The pressure came head-on; this was the aura of a top-tier eighth-tier powerhouse.

It was useless to let the Cursed Ones besiege Gluttony. If the other party used that parrying ability to accumulate damage again and then burst out an impact, the Cursed Ones would turn into pig teammates.

The sword tip in Su Xiao's hand pointed obliquely at the ice surface. In his ears was the sound of rain. Rainwater dripped down his chin. His breathing slowed down, and the sound of rain in his ears became smaller.

For some reason, Su Xiao had a feeling that the enemy opposite was not invincible. If it were another top-tier eighth-tier contractor, he would have no chance of winning. This enemy was different; it didn't give him too fatal a sense of threat.

Su Xiao stepped forward. After walking a few steps at a not-so-fast speed, he suddenly disappeared into the raindrops. The rainwater seemed to stand still for an instant.

'Damn it!'

Gluttony lowered his body significantly. The enemy was the speed-type he hated most.

*Zheng. *

The blade rang crisply. A long sword slashed from behind Gluttony, heading straight for his neck.

With a *zila*, the blade slashed across the junction of Gluttony's neck armor. Amidst the splattering sparks, a friction sound that made people's teeth ache appeared.

Su Xiao slashed out this sword and was about to retreat when numbness and stinging pain came from his right arm.

*Checking Zhan Long Shan* successfully broke through Gluttony's armor defense, but it was only a breakthrough. The strength of this Immortal-grade armor was astonishingly high.

*Checking Zhan Long Shan* had not yet reached the Immortal grade. Being able to break through this crafted armor was because of its high sharpness. But there was one point: one must slash at the armor's junction, such as the waist, armpits, wrists, neck, etc.

It was difficult to break through the defense of places like the chest and spine where there were overall armor plates.

*Checking Zhan Long Shan* brought up a wisp of blood, and a cone gun swept toward Su Xiao. Su Xiao jumped backward, and the spear tip brushed past his face. He narrowly dodged this horizontal sweep.

Just after landing, Su Xiao pulled up the sleeve of his right arm. Fine bloodstains appeared on his arm, and the blood gradually gathered together and dripped.

Slashing this sword caused Su Xiao not small damage. He looked at his right arm and felt the stinging pain coming from his arm. At most 6–8 swords, his right arm would collapse and turn into fragments of flesh and bone.

Su Xiao was not having a good time, and Gluttony, who was covering his neck and jumping backward continuously, was even worse.

Gluttony stared at Su Xiao fixedly. His mood at this time could only be described as "damn it." The sword just now only slashed a wound less than one centimeter deep on his neck. If it weren't for the armor junction, the enemy wouldn't have been able to break through his defense at all.

Even so, Gluttony's heart was about to curse. The sword just now carried 1374 points of real damage + 1406 points of soul damage. A burst of energy invaded his body, and while devouring the energy in his body, it caused damage to the inside of his body. Accompanied by it was the piercing pain.

This piercing pain, Gluttony could resist hard, but another feeling in his body made him dizzy. It was soul damage. After taking that sword, not only was there piercing pain in his body, but it was also accompanied by pain deep into his soul. The two combined were "wonderful." If it weren't for Gluttony's strong mental power and powerful willpower, he might have been mentally blurred for a while.

"What kind of ghost ability is this."

The teeth in Gluttony's mouth bit until they creaked. He was prepared to fight for his life.

More than ten meters away, Su Xiao stood on the ice surface. His right arm recovered a little, and at the same time, he considered a problem: what exactly was the principle of the enemy's ability to "rebound" damage? This ability was very restraining to him.

First of all, wanting to slash at the enemy's armor junction was not a simple matter. Just now, it was a surprise attack based on speed that slashed it. Now that the enemy had precautions, as long as he approached, he would encounter a large-scale sweep.

At most bet 5 swords. Any more, the injury to his right arm would worsen, leading to a decrease in the speed and strength of his sword swings.

Thinking through these, Su Xiao broke through the raindrops and suddenly appeared in front of Gluttony.

A burst of wind pressure came head-on. Su Xiao's perception was fully open. Every raindrop falling around and the accumulated water on the ice surface were clearly perceived by him.

Gluttony in front suddenly increased his speed by a large margin. This guy first stepped back half a step, then raised the cone gun in his hand, and stabbed Su Xiao with a spear. The spear tip was like a drill, capable of tearing through all defenses.

Su Xiao discovered that it was not the enemy who became faster, but himself who became slower. His first judgment was that the Silent Domain around him could not only seal active abilities but also had the characteristic of reducing body speed and perception speed, which was similar to the effect of 'Blade Dao, Time', and it didn't last long.

Su Xiao held the long sword in front of him, and his left hand, wearing a metal arm guard, supported the blade.

The cone gun stabbed on the blade of *Checking Zhan Long Shan*. The contact point between the spear tip and the blade erupted with unimaginable kinetic energy and impact force.

Boom!!

A large area of ice surface shattered. Su Xiao turned into an afterimage and flew backward. He didn't fly far before his back stuck to the ice surface, and he began to slide backward at high speed.

Su Xiao's left hand formed a claw and pierced into the ice surface, plowing up splattering ice, and ice chips flew all over the sky.

Su Xiao had just stabilized his figure when the sound of wind appeared above him. It was Gluttony, holding the cone gun with both hands, falling and stabbing at Su Xiao from above. If he were hit by this, Su Xiao would at least be seriously injured.

Su Xiao patted the ice surface under him and flew out to the side in a lying posture. A cone gun stabbed down beside him, submerging into the solid ice beside him.

Amidst the loud roar, Su Xiao flew out with the impact, adjusted his figure in mid-air, landed in a half-crouched posture, and slid more than ten meters away before stabilizing his figure.

Inside the ice pit nearly a hundred meters in size, Gluttony pulled out the cone gun and moved his neck left and right.

"If you experience three to four more worlds, I won't be your opponent. You guy... are simply my nemesis."

Gluttony walked out from the ice pit, and a cyan-blue slash struck toward him.

*Blue Ghost* slashed on the cone gun. Gluttony slid back a few meters. The cone gun in his hands spun and held behind him.

Clang!

The long sword and the cone gun collided.

"I am also a technique-type. Although I don't have your sword technique, don't look down on me."

Gluttony stepped on the ice surface, and a ring-shaped impact exploded, pushing Su Xiao back.

Gluttony lifted the cone gun in his hand, held the spear handle with one hand, and clamped the spear handle with his armpit, letting the spear tip face forward.

Gluttony charged forward with large strides. Every few steps he rushed out, the cone gun in his hand seemed to pierce through a layer of invisible wall, making a bang. Every time it banged, his speed increased by a large margin.

Su Xiao leaned his body backward and tilted his body slightly. The spear tip of the cone gun stabbed past his face, drawing a bloodstain. Fine cracks spread beside the wound, and the attached vibration force made Su Xiao dizzy. This was the difficulty of the technique-type.

Su Xiao ignored the vibration pain on his face, his pupils condensed.

'Blade Dao, Time.'

Thump~

The impact spread, Gluttony's speed slowed down suddenly, and the raindrops falling around the two were almost stationary in mid-air.

Su Xiao's left hand scooped, grabbing two raindrops in mid-air, and injected Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy into them.

His left hand made a throwing motion, throwing out the two raindrops mixed with Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying.

The flight speed of the two raindrops was extremely fast, and they were dragged into needle shapes. After passing through the vertical holes on Gluttony's face mask, they pierced into his eyes.

Water needles entered the eyes, Gluttony let out a muffled groan, and the scene in front of him turned blue and white.

Taking this opportunity, Su Xiao bypassed Gluttony and slashed at Gluttony's neck.

Puchi.

Blood surged. Gluttony's neck had already been slashed by Su Xiao just now. At this moment, the second sword slashed at the same position.

Amidst the blurred vision, Gluttony perceived that the enemy's aura was behind him. As he turned around, he stabbed with a cone gun.

With a *puchi*, Gluttony estimated that he had hit the enemy's chest, but he immediately realized something was wrong. The feeling of the stab was too smooth, and it felt more like piercing through some liquid.

Just as Gluttony was preparing to sweep with a spear, a huge force came from his abdomen.

Bang!!

Su Xiao kicked straight at Gluttony's abdomen. After kicking this straight kick, he immediately jumped backward. Beside him, a human shape made of rainwater was scattering, and blood energy could still be seen inside. This was accumulated water that Su Xiao forcibly condensed with mental power. The enemy's vision was blocked, and this way of taking materials on the spot was very effective.

After Gluttony took Su Xiao's straight kick, he knelt on one knee, his left hand instinctively blocking in front, his whole body numb.

All the buffs of the Close-Quarters Grandmaster lv. 50 were concentrated on this straight kick. I don't know how many big bosses had died under this seemingly ordinary but actually explosive straight kick.

After a straight kick, Su Xiao didn't advance but retreated. He could determine that if he continued to fight Gluttony like this, the one who would lose would definitely be himself. That ability to rebound damage was too unsolvable.

Continuing the battle, he would also have to face Gluttony's various trump cards, as well as the items at the bottom of the other party's storage space. The other party was also a technique-type. Fighting to the death like this would not win.

But, the battle was over.

Su Xiao's left arm lifted, and the power of the curse spread on his arm. A black ball appeared in his hand, and he crushed the black ball.

A black vortex appeared dozens of meters above, and Black Curse Crows rushed out. Because the number was too large, plus the density of the distance, these Black Curse Crows almost formed a black falling pillar.

Caw! Caw! Caw!

The falling pillar formed by the Black Curse Crows slammed into Gluttony, who was kneeling on one knee. Don't forget, under the blessing of the War Lord, every attack of the Black Curse Crows would also carry Soul Burning Power, thereby causing 120 points of real damage.

*Splash, splash~*

One Black Curse Crow after another pounced on Gluttony. Because of damage rebound, the Black Curse Crows attacking Gluttony all exploded, and the curse energy in their bodies spread. The most terrifying thing was actually these curse energies.

"Ah!"

Hard-headed against thousands of Black Curse Crows, Gluttony roared and stood up, but at this time, the falling pillar formed by the Black Curse Crows was already nearly 20 meters thick.

Gluttony assumed the posture of 'Spear Knight, Immovable'. Under the terrifying real damage + curse damage, his stance was instantly broken, and he couldn't hold it up anymore. The number of Black Curse Crows was too large, and they were not afraid of death.

Gluttony swung the cone gun in his hand. He immediately discovered that his body had become powerless due to being severely eroded by the power of the curse. Having no choice, he could only rush out of the crow falling pillar with all his might. What was more troublesome was that the surrounding space was sealed.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

The sharp claws and beaks of the crows hit the armor, and more Black Curse Crows were killing each other, tearing their companions' bodies to pieces. With the death of tens of thousands of Black Curse Crows, the curse power around became terrifyingly thick.

After Gluttony rushed out a few steps with all his might, he reached out of the crow falling pillar with one hand. At this time, his whole body and armor were severely eroded by the power of the curse.

"Is it... my turn to die this time?"

As soon as Gluttony's voice fell, his body stiffened, the pupils in his eyes turned dead gray, and his body turned into ashes, drifting away along the gaps in the armor. The armor left behind was submerged by the Black Curse Crows. Gluttony was completely eroded by the power of the curse, leading to instant death.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao exhaled. A heart-worrying problem was solved.
