Chapter 2953

On the beach of the Island of Eternal Life, a wave rushed onto the beach, bringing up a bit of foam before receding.

Su Xiao was just about to walk into the sea to return to the *Doom* hidden underwater when a shout came from behind him at an angle.

"The guy over there, don't go, come fight!"

Hearing this shout, Su Xiao's steps paused. He hadn't sensed anyone else nearby just now; medium-to-long-distance perception was not his strong suit.

Su Xiao looked toward the source of the sound, and a girl with short hair, standing just over 1.4 meters tall, came into his view.

The newcomer was dressed very coolly, with super-short shorts on her lower body and only a camisole on her upper body, completely exposing her two arms, and wearing tan gloves on both hands.

"Why aren't you poisoned yet?"

Sweet Orange walked over with a giggle, feeling puzzled inside as to why the previous method hadn't taken effect. The effect of that ability wasn't strong, but it could make the enemy suffer a debuff without them noticing.

"Let's start. Your legendary points are the highest, so there won't be few people looking for trouble with you later. If you can kill me, let's treat this battle as a warm-up?"

Sweet Orange's smile gradually took on the style of a Reincarnation Paradise contractor. She bit the tips of two of her fingers and pulled off the two gloves on her hands.

A hint of fluorescent green appeared on Sweet Orange's fair hands. This fluorescent green spread along her skin, and soon it climbed onto her hands and two forearms.

A scent of a cut orange drifted out, faintly revealing a hint of sweetness.

Sweet Orange's current state was so good that even she herself found it hard to believe. She was bearing a total of 12 buff states; her strength, speed, physical defense, and health recovery speed were all soaring, plus there was explosive health recovery after being injured.

The strongest buff was called "Spring Surge," which allowed Sweet Orange to squander her body's energy without restraint for a period of time.

Su Xiao looked at the enemy a few dozen meters away and pondered for a moment, not summoning the Cursed Ones yet. After advancing to the Eighth Tier, he had been unable to determine exactly what level his own strength was at.

His strength was not at the lower end of the Eighth Tier; it should be in the middle-to-upper tier. More specifically, it couldn't be judged. Since entering the Demon Sea world, Su Xiao had basically not made many moves. The battle with Gluttony was based on his ability countering the other party.

The combat power of the double-poison combination was nine times out of ten between the upper tier and the top tier. Su Xiao didn't fear poison abilities; the alchemy he developed had a lot of knowledge in this regard.

*Zheng~*

Su Xiao drew the long blade at his waist, and the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy surged on the long blade.

Su Xiao and Sweet Orange confronted each other, and a wave washed over, passing under their feet. Just at this moment, Sweet Orange leaned her body forward, and the seawater and sand under her feet exploded. She jumped up like a cannonball out of the chamber, attacking Su Xiao.

Don't look at Sweet Orange's sweet appearance and fresh aura; once this girl entered a combat state, her fighting style was extremely fierce.

Carrying a bit of seawater, Sweet Orange appeared in front of Su Xiao the next instant. Her right arm, which had turned fluorescent green, arched, and she smashed a punch toward Su Xiao.

Wind pressure hit his face. Su Xiao didn't hesitate at all and directly penetrated space.

*Boom!! *

A sand pit with a diameter of a hundred meters and a depth of over thirty meters appeared. The inside of the sand pit was compacted, and large areas of cracks appeared.

"Space-type."

Sweet Orange stood in the sand pit, thoughts racing in her brain. The punch she had smashed down while jumping up just now looked grand in momentum, but in reality, it was very much like seeking death.

If the enemy slashed at her with a blade, no matter how she looked at it, she would be the one at a disadvantage. No matter how strong the physical body was, it was hard to resist the sharp blade of high-quality equipment.

The enemy didn't use the blade to slash her, but penetrated space. Sweet Orange had learned about this type of ability; some were unsolvable, but every time space was penetrated, the body and spirit had to bear a burden, so there was a certain cooldown time. This time ranged from 2 to 5 minutes; it wouldn't be too short, nor would it be long to the point of being outrageous.

Such a decisive fighting style made Sweet Orange think of a possibility: the moment she lunged at the enemy, she was seen through by the enemy. The enemy's main weapon was a long blade, his close-quarters perception and intuition were sharp to the point of being outrageous, and his insight and combat experience were equally formidable.

"Hit the jackpot."

Sweet Orange thought of a possibility: she had encountered one of the "Three Great Daddies." In battles between contractors, there were the recognized Three Great Daddies: Technique-type, Mage-type, and Undead-type.

Sweet Orange's judgment was completed in a very short time. She jumped out of the sand pit in a few leaps, wind whistling in her ears. Her perception firmly locked onto the enemy not far away, and she jumped high again with a near-brainless fighting style, then smashed down with a punch.

Wind pressure came from diagonally above. Su Xiao's perception formed a perception circle that enveloped him. This perception circle was over a dozen meters in diameter. Although the perception distance was close, it was sharp enough.

The enemy instantly rushed into the perception circle. Su Xiao could perceive everything about the other party clearly. He could feel the enemy's hair being blown up, the sand grains stained on her skin, and even her beating heart, he could perceive it all.

A small fist smashed down from above. Don't think this had any cuteness at all; this fist could hammer a tank to pieces, and the impact was enough to turn steel into dust-sized powder.

*Zheng! *

The long blade cut a blue mark in the air, heading straight to slash at Sweet Orange's fist. Noticing this scene, Sweet Orange, who was in mid-air, curled the corners of her mouth; the enemy finally slashed at her.

With a *swish*, the long blade slashed across Sweet Orange's fist, arm, and shoulder, and then slashed in from her cheek and out from the ear on the other side.

The slash made a crisp sound. Amidst a large amount of blood, Sweet Orange was decapitated. The kinetic energy of her diving down caused her blood, most of her head, and her body to rush toward Su Xiao, and the speed did not decrease.

Just as the blood was about to touch Su Xiao, this blood turned fluorescent green, and Sweet Orange's entire body turned into fluorescent green liquid.

This was definitely not energy-based; simple physical energy-based transformation couldn't dodge the *Zhan Long Shan* imbued with Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy.

Su Xiao's left hand blocked in front of him. The next instant, the fluorescent green liquid enveloped him. Sweet Orange's body materialized again. She was already behind Su Xiao, relying on her "height advantage," she wrapped her hands around Su Xiao's waist for a back throw.

*Boom!! *

Sand and soil flew everywhere, and another huge sand pit appeared.

Inside the sand pit, Sweet Orange's hands hissed, constantly eroding the enemy's body through the fluorescent poison on her hands.

*Click~*

A crisp sound entered Sweet Orange's ears. She discovered that the enemy who had borne her back throw was actually a humanoid crystal shell, with facial features materialized vividly.

"Not good!"

*Puchi! *

A long blade pierced through the crystal shell and then plunged into Sweet Orange's neck. The position she was stabbed in turned into fluorescent green liquid, but a trace of blood still appeared.

Sweet Orange felt a *buzz* in her brain, as if she had been hit by a direct kick. Her whole body felt light, as if she were ascending to the clouds.

Another loud noise, and Sweet Orange plunged into the side of the sand pit, blasting a hole in the sand and soil.

"Blade Dao Blade · Green Ghost."

A cyan-blue blade glow slashed out, heading toward Sweet Orange in the sand and soil.

Su Xiao jumped out of the sand pit. He had already roughly figured out what level his own strength was at within the Eighth Tier.

*Click, click. *

The crystal layer on Su Xiao's waist and left arm fell off. As a technique-type, he could suppress Sweet Orange for a while when the battle started. If the battle continued, he had a high probability of losing. What he was facing right now was not Sweet Orange alone, but the double-poison combination.

Su Xiao stood on the beach, looking at the dense forest in front. A woman wearing a black long dress with a high slit and high heels walked out of the dense forest. She stopped in front of the sand and soil without continuing forward; it was Guang Mu.

"Teaming up with an idiot is really tiring."

Guang Mu sighed low. While she was speaking, Sweet Orange crawled out of the sand and soil like a gopher, revealing only a head, with her right eye socket still a bit bruised.

"Guang Mu, I've tested it. He's indeed not as strong as imagined. Kill him."

Sweet Orange's eyes flickered with ruthlessness. Actually, she should remember this moment; this was her most spirited moment when facing Su Xiao later.

"Sweet Orange, what style of tombstone do you like? I'll help you set one up on the island."

Guang Mu's image flickered like a poor signal reception. She hadn't come in person, but was controlling a mechanical beetle to project her image here.

"What?"

Sweet Orange didn't understand Guang Mu's words at first, but she soon understood. Unknowingly, Cursed Ones had appeared all around, vaguely enveloping her.

"So that's how it is. Because of this, you are ranked first in the legendary ranking. Farewell."

Sweet Orange, who only had her head exposed on the beach, shrank her body and disappeared, leaving a wisp of fine sand in the air. Sweet Orange shrank into the sand and soil underground.

Inside the sand and soil, Sweet Orange turned into fluorescent green liquid and began to escape. Just as her laughter was becoming unrestrained, a face appeared directly in front of her. The liquid-form her almost bumped into it. Mad Dog Quike's face was horizontally in front of Sweet Orange.

"Good dogs don't block the way, get lost."

Sweet Orange's liquid-form fist smashed up. Actually, she wasn't panicked; she had many ways to escape, until Sweet Orange discovered that there were hundreds of Cursed Ones in the surrounding sand and soil.

Half an hour later, Sweet Orange, with bruised eye sockets, was hung upside down on a coconut tree by the sea, swaying left and right.

"Caught, but the split body has already escaped. Perfect."

Sweet Orange smiled very sweetly. Right now, she still didn't know what she was about to face in the next 40 hours.
