Chapter 3373

More than 30 people, led by the Soul Master, marched quickly and arrived near the Sun Fortress. This behemoth, already nearly 100 meters tall, gave one an inexplicable sense of oppression. However, the fortress's outer armor was already covered in rust, and it looked dilapidated as a whole.

The Sun Fortress was like this because Su Xiao had deliberately "aged" it, making people mistakenly believe that this fortress had been abandoned here.

Under Xiao Pe's guidance, the Soul Master and the others arrived in front of the fortress's main gate. The main gate was over ten meters high and about nine meters wide.

The Soul Master and the others saw that although the Sun Fortress's main gate was open, a wall of gray fog blocked the front, sealing the entrance.

"This scene, I find it a bit familiar."

"Me too."

"I suddenly have a bad premonition. Should we retreat first? Wait for the main force to arrive."

"Should have done that long ago. Retreat, hey! Metal Girl, what are you doing?"

"The more cowardly you are, the fewer resources you get, the weaker you become, and in the end, you die inexplicably. I've seen many people like this."

Metal Girl reached one hand into the fog wall. She was the type of person who wouldn't easily give up the benefits before her eyes. The share each person gets when dozens of people split the rewards versus when hundreds of people split them is vastly different.

The Soul Master didn't speak and stepped toward the fog wall. Seeing this, Muscle Man Dean also passed through the fog wall. The others looked at each other and one after another entered the fog wall.

As Metal Girl passed through the fog wall, the thin mist before her eyes gradually dissipated. The scene she saw was a large, empty field.

Dim lighting, an empty field, ethereal whispers, and the gradually dissipating cold mist—after seeing all this, Metal Girl's body tensed up. The scene she saw had too strong a sense of a boss fight.

The surrounding cold mist not only obstructed vision but also affected perception. Metal Girl raised her left hand, signaling the others to stop, and she moved forward alone.

"There is one more enemy."

As the perception-type Xiao Pe spoke, hearing his words, Metal Girl in front stopped her pace.

"The extra enemy is very small in size. Judging from the aura, it is a Light-type spirit. Its form is that of a cat. Its combat power is average. It is speculated that this is an auxiliary-type summon."

After Xiao Pe finished saying this, he retreated behind Muscle Man Dean.

"In front!"

At the same time Xiao Pe's shout appeared, Metal Girl felt wind pressure coming toward her face. She made a backward leap posture, and a miraculous scene occurred: she was like a golden cicada shedding its shell, leaving behind a metal shell exactly the same as her appearance in place, while she herself had already leaped backward into mid-air.

Boom!!

An air explosion erupted, and the shell Metal Girl left behind was kicked to pieces. The metal fragments, like a shotgun, attacked the group of Qiyuezhe.

After a crisp sound of clanging, most of the metal fragments were blocked by an invisible wall.

Due to the impact generated by this kick, and the caster canceling the ability, the surrounding cold mist dissipated, and the scene inside the first floor of the fortress was fully visible, but the fortress's main gate slammed shut.

The Soul Master, who had been reaching forward with one hand, did not look good at this moment. As he contacted the ability, the metal fragments floating in mid-air fell to the ground.

He used a Soul-type shield wall to block these metal fragments, but the kinetic energy carried by these metal fragments exceeded his expectations. To put it another way, if it had been him who took that kick just now, the result...

Muscle Man Dean blocked in front of the Soul Master. This muscular man knew that the Soul Master was the "thigh" (main support) this time. As a Soul-type main support, the Soul Master was clearly not the type with thick skin and flesh.

By this time, the group of Qiyuezhe finally saw with their own eyes who the enemy was. It was a man holding a long blade, standing in mid-air. To be precise, the opponent was standing on crisscrossing energy threads several meters above the ground.

"This friend from Apocalypse Paradise, why bother? Not a single person from your own faction has come to help you. Why bother guarding the coordinates for them?"

Muscle Man Dean spoke, preparing to use psychological warfare to diminish Su Xiao's fighting spirit.

Crack, crack, crack!

Cold ice suddenly appeared. A dead-fish-eyed Ice Mage was a hot-tempered person, belonging to the type who would act rather than talk.

Spiky solid ice spread toward Su Xiao, and in the next instant, it was already before his eyes. Not only that, a laser beam as thick as a little finger swept toward his neck. If this hit his neck, even Su Xiao would be severely injured. The means of any Qiyuezhe of the same tier cannot be underestimated.

The main problem for most Qiyuezhe is their low health, while Su Xiao's slashing damage + Qing Gang Ying true damage + soul damage, plus a bunch of passive skill bonuses, made him almost the nemesis of Qiyuezhe. Added to his strong survivability and high speed, he was able to fight one against many.

Actually, saying it this way is not accurate. Su Xiao is not the nemesis of Qiyuezhe; he is here to hunt rule-breakers and inadvertently became the nemesis of Qiyuezhe. However, this nemesis is relative; some Qiyuezhe do not have weak survivability.

The crystal layer shattered. A humanoid crystal layer shell was first wrapped in cold ice and then swept across the neck by a deep purple ray.

Su Xiao crouched on the ground, and a roaring sound came from above. When dealing with Qiyuezhe, one must guard against being focused-fired.

After his feet touched the ground, the ground under Su Xiao's feet cracked with a boom. He swept out an afterimage and pounced toward Muscle Man Dean.

Muscle Man Dean sensed Su Xiao attacking head-on and roared "holy crap" in his heart. It was no wonder he would be like this; the experience of being ambushed head-on by Su Xiao was very bad, as if he would be beheaded in the next second.

Muscle Man Dean slapped his hands on the ground, and an obsidian-like stone wall rose up in front of him with a boom. At the same time, black rock resembling a coral reef appeared on Su Xiao's left arm, growing rapidly, increasing weight, and reducing his speed.

Three gray-white rays attacked. Su Xiao dodged sideways, but immediately, more attacks bombarded him.

Spatial fluctuations appeared around Su Xiao. Just at this moment, a transparent hand grabbed his right arm holding the blade. This feeling is... a Soul-type ability?

Su Xiao penetrated space, the feeling of restraint on his right arm still remained, and various attacks enveloped him, but he had already entered the space penetration state. Unless it was an attack specifically targeting this, it could not hurt him.

Su Xiao looked around at the group of people present. A figure wearing a black robe and a hood caught his eye. The soul fluctuations on the opponent were the strongest.

"Your soul belongs to me."

The Soul Master made a one-handed dragging posture. In the past, once this situation appeared, it meant the battle was over.

The Soul Master dragged with all his might. He wanted to use the soul hand that grabbed Su Xiao's arm to pull Su Xiao's soul out. With this pull, he was shocked to find that it seemed a bit impossible to pull the enemy's soul?

Actually, it wasn't just a bit. At this time, the Soul Master's situation was like a kindergartner trying to shoulder-throw an adult—a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"Drink!"

The Soul Master couldn't care about his demeanor and coolness, shouted loudly, and changed to dragging backward with both hands. Some Qiyuezhe saw this scene and felt a bit confused. Their thought was, did this guy called Soul Master not take his medicine today?

Actually, it's no wonder these Qiyuezhe were confused. Soul-type abilities are rare, expensive, require very high aptitude, and resources to become stronger are particularly difficult to obtain. They only had a slight understanding of this aspect and didn't know the specifics; information in this area was too scarce.

Su Xiao looked at the Soul Master opposite him and then frowned. He could feel that someone seemed to be pulling his right arm, and it was that kind of exceptionally persistent pulling.

While in the space penetration state, Su Xiao exerted force on his right forearm and lifted it upward with force. That pulling feeling disappeared immediately.

Almost at the same time, the Soul Master let out a muffled groan. Everyone saw the Soul Master's right arm hanging limply, as if it had no bones.

Su Xiao disappeared in place, and when he appeared again, he was already standing in front of the Soul Master. The Soul Master was not afraid at all, his eyes glaring with anger.

Dong!

An impact spread to the surroundings. Metal Girl, Muscle Man Dean, and others felt a buzzing sound in their brains, as if their brains were directly exposed and received a hammer blow.

Like Xiao Pe, blood even spurted out from his nostrils and ear holes. A healing-type nearby simply rolled their eyes, fainted, and was knocked back.

The Soul Master's Soul Shock move had exceptionally domineering power. Although this was not a control skill, after being hit, the brain would be stunned for a while.

The Soul Master's hood was blown off by the impact, his messy hair flying, his expression fierce and cruel, but this expression only lasted for an instant before being replaced by astonishment.

The Soul Master's soul knockback ability blew all the teammates around him away, only Su Xiao stood calmly in front of the Soul Master.

Su Xiao's 560 points of soul strength and the "Basic Passive: Soul Resilience, Lv. 30" ability were not just for show. Having just resisted the Soul Master's Soul Shock, it could only be said that the power of this move was not bad. Su Xiao's health dropped by 2.65%. 560 points of soul strength brought an exaggeratedly high damage reduction effect when facing soul skills.

Before the Soul Master could make other adjustments, Su Xiao had already delivered a straight kick.

Boom!!

A blood mist exploded. The Soul Master's abdomen and the body below the abdomen exploded into blood mist, and the upper body cut through an afterimage and slammed into the wall behind.

He didn't slam a dent into the wall because the lower body was kicked directly into blood mist, and the force borne by his upper body was no longer that terrifying, but his upper body was already embedded in the wall. It really lived up to that saying: kicked onto the wall, and couldn't be pried out.

Su Xiao looked at the Soul Master embedded in the wall. This Soul-type cultivator was really too fragile.
