Chapter 3286

~8 min read 1,449 words

Although the detected data was pitifully small, seeing Sun Bird Taihakak's second ability, Su Xiao knew this battle was winnable. Although the Sun Bird was strong, its terrifying aspect lay in its Undying and Rebirth traits.

He had already joined forces with Zuiyas and Wood. Although these two good teammates might run away, if they ran now, Su Xiao had a backup plan to ensure they all suffered together.

Zuiyas and Wood could certainly think of this too. The current situation was that you could occasionally trust Zuiyas, and you could temporarily believe in Wood.

Besides this, the decision to arrange the Emissary Polosi earlier was crucial. Just now, Zuiyas tampered with the Emissary Polosi's cognition; in Polosi's mind, it was he who had provoked Sun Bird Taihakak.

In this situation, the Emissary Polosi would definitely mobilize all his power to fight Sun Bird Taihakak. If Shelter City No. 6 were razed, neither Polosi nor the other nobles of Shelter City No. 6 would survive; they would all die by the Sea God's wrath.

Through the joint operation of Su Xiao and his two companions, this was no longer a personal grudge between Su Xiao and Sun Bird Taihakak; Sun Bird Taihakak had become the enemy of everyone in Shelter City No. 6.

Su Xiao turned into a blurred shadow in the seawater; this was another advantage of his. Due to the bonus from 【Deep Sea Slumber (Immortal-grade Accessory)】, his movement speed in seawater increased by 1.2 times. This speed boost was a lifesaver, making Su Xiao's speed a notch faster than Sun Bird Taihakak's.

Whoosh!

A golden-gray fireball attacked from behind. This fireball was the size of a house, and the seawater it passed through churned. In the hands of a fire-type spellcaster, fire was just fire, but Sun Bird Taihakak's ability was that inside the fire was super-high-temperature magma.

Clang.

A pale blue slash passed by, and the energy-cutting characteristic of Blade of the Demon King was displayed. The fireball was cut in two, turning into two large streams of magma that dispersed in the water.

The next instant, the golden-red magma turned into thousands of magma birds. Like swordfish in the sea, they broke through lines of water and reached Su Xiao's front.

"Blade Dao, Slaughter."

With a 'whoosh', a blood-colored streak slashed through the water, catching the thousands of magma birds and shattering them.

But who would have thought that these magma birds would turn into even smaller individuals? Like hummingbirds, they broke through the seawater and attacked from all directions. When they were less than five meters away from Su Xiao, they quickly turned scorching red.

The magma hummingbirds condensed together, forming a bird resembling a pterosaur. This magma pterosaur spat out white-hot flames from its mouth; this was the color that only appeared after Sun Flame was highly compressed and concentrated.

In the seawater, Su Xiao reached out with one hand, and a crystal layer appeared. The moment the white flames scorched the crystal layer, not only did the crystal layer explode, but Su Xiao's crystal left forearm also exploded. The edges of the Black King's Armguard even showed signs of being melted.

Taking advantage of this momentary defense, Su Xiao disappeared from his spot. The seawater behind the magma pterosaur was pushed aside with a 'pop', and Su Xiao, having finished his space penetration, appeared.

The long blade, surging with pale blue electric arcs, slashed through the magma pterosaur's body. The magma pterosaur exploded into magma, gradually cooling in the surrounding seawater.

Using the Dragon Shadow Flash ability in the sea had a drawback: at the location Su Xiao arrived at, there would be a 'pop' sound of seawater being repelled.

This was necessary. If there was seawater at the location Su Xiao penetrated to, that seawater would be squeezed into his body due to the pressure of space, which would cause big problems. It was safer to use the repulsive force of space to push the seawater away at the arrival point.

The ability Sun Bird Taihakak used just now revealed many problems. The enemy's attack started as an ordinary large fireball; after being attacked, it turned into thousands of fire birds. After these fire birds were shattered, they turned into even smaller magma hummingbirds. In water, the smaller the size, the less the resistance, and the faster the speed.

These tens of thousands of magma hummingbirds were not the final attack method. Even if they were detonated within one meter of Su Xiao, they couldn't threaten him. Sun Bird Taihakak controlled these magma hummingbirds to combine, forming a larger individual, and in a super-short time, completed the gathering and compression of Sun Flame, finally delivering a powerful attack to Su Xiao.

If Su Xiao hadn't used Dragon Shadow Flash to move his position just now, he would have at least suffered severe burns after being scorched by that white-hot Sun Flame, and would have had to endure subsequent internal scorching damage for several minutes or even longer.

Sun Bird Taihakak's combat experience was too rich. In the millennium since its birth, it had forgotten how many beasts it had burned to ashes, and how many powerful challengers it had burned to death.

"Roar!!"

A roar like that of a giant beast came. Su Xiao, who was rushing through the seawater, stopped abruptly. Hearing the beast roar from behind, he knew that reinforcements from his allies had arrived.

Dense black tentacles were distributed in the surrounding sea area. From this range, one could see that Zuiyas had used his full strength this time, which was a bit beyond Su Xiao's expectations.

Not only had Zuiyas arrived, but Wood had also appeared. In the water area where Sun Bird Taihakak was, the color of the seawater turned green, and this eerie green slowly invaded Sun Bird Taihakak.

Wood's ability was just like that. If it wasn't a one-on-one fight, he never attacked head-on; if he could play dirty, he would never fight hard.

In the current situation, his weakening-type ability was very effective. As the battle continued, Sun Bird Taihakak's combat power would gradually decline.

With Sun Bird Taihakak's current strength, whoever rushed up first would be throwing their life away and would be killed on the spot by the Sun Bird.

Sounds of breaking water came; it was the Sea Clan rushing out from Shelter City No. 6. They were the darlings of the sea, and their diving speed was incomparable to other races.

These people were led by the Emissary Polosi. The Emissary Polosi had a gloomy face; no matter what, he had to keep Sun Bird Taihakak here today.

"Either die now, or kill that thing; choose for yourselves."

The Emissary Polosi skipped the usual bribery phase; he couldn't bribe them this time. Anyone with a little bit of knowledge knew that rushing up to fight Sun Bird Taihakak now was suicide. Compared to money and other external possessions, one's life was more important.

Therefore, the Emissary Polosi directly let his subordinates choose: die now, or fight for it, where there might be a glimmer of hope.

Polosi had ways to make these subordinates or nobles drop dead on the spot; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit so firmly in the position of Emissary. In the past, the Sea God used this method to control him, but after he became an Emissary, he broke free using his own methods.

A group of half-human, half-fish, or alien humanoids dared not speak out despite their anger. Although the nobles hated him in their hearts, they dared not defy Polosi.

"We swear to go through fire and water for Lord Polosi!"

A big-mouthed Sea Clan member shouted. Hearing this, Polosi looked at the big-mouthed Sea Clan member, his appreciation undisguised, but his thought was: 'I must not let this kid die; the blame for this matter will be borne by this fish.'

Thinking of this, Polosi's gaze toward the big-mouthed Sea Clan member became even more appreciative. He said: "You, follow behind me."

"Ah? Yes, yes, I swear to follow Lord Polosi to the death."

The big-mouthed Sea Clan member was overjoyed. He actually didn't want to fight, but now that he could follow the Emissary Polosi, he was ecstatic.

Other Sea Clan members cursed the big-mouthed Sea Clan member for being shameless, but they were also envious.

"What are you still looking at? Defend our shelter, charge!"

Polosi's large hand pointed forward. This 'charge' was shouted with exceptional familiarity. The Sea Clan members swam toward the Sun Bird, and one of them, holding a steel fork, rushed out with a thrust.

The grilled fish feast was about to begin.
