Chapter 3438: World, Danger!

~34 min read 6,697 words

In the center of the Queen's bedchamber, as the blades in Su Xiao's and the Ghoul Queen's hands collided, the impact spread to the surroundings, lifting a layer of stone slabs on the ground. In the next instant, the splashing gravels collapsed into sky-filling dust.

Su Xiao held a long blade in his right hand and a blood spear in his left. After resisting the Queen's dual blades, although he felt pressure, he didn't feel like he couldn't hold on. Although the Queen's strength was stronger than his, it wasn't to the point where he couldn't hold on.

Back when he fought the Old Knight, it was truly impossible to hold out; if one dared to parry the Old Knight's Tyrant-Body Slash, there was a high probability the blade would shatter.

The Queen was another type of powerhouse. She was slightly stronger than Su Xiao in strength, and she exceeded Su Xiao by a large margin in speed, especially her slashing speed.

This was the Queen's terrifying point. As long as there was a slight trend of being suppressed by her, even if one could defend against her consecutive slashes, she would slash faster and faster, and the slashing power would become stronger and stronger. Finally, one slash would break the defense, slashing the enemy to pieces. The 12 dual-blade mad dogs were gone just like that.

Although Su Xiao held the light and dark dual blades in the Queen's hands, he didn't interrupt the Queen's attack rhythm.

With a 'zila' sound, the Light Blade slid along the blade of Checking Zhan Long Shan, and the Dark Blade also slid across the blade of the blood spear. The Queen was ignoring Su Xiao's parry and defense, wanting to slash her own abilities.

Su Xiao wouldn't allow this kind of thing to happen. He let go of the blood spear in his hand, and a sense of crisis came toward him. It was the Queen who was about to perform consecutive slashes. Combat was not one move for you and one move for me, but a competition of reaction, experience, ability, and even courage between each other. It wouldn't appear at all like watching the enemy accumulate a big move.

The light and dark dual blades cut out a creepy whimpering sound. The Queen was about to perform a rotating slash dance. Ascension Brother and others died in this move. It could only be said that this time Ascension Brother truly ascended.

The sharp blade slashed before Su Xiao's neck. The blood spear beside Su Xiao exploded? To prevent himself from being hurt by the explosion of the blood spear? He formed a crystal layer in front of him.

A loud bang spread. The Queen's slashing momentum paused? This was suppressed? In the eyes of others, once the Queen performed a rotating slash dance? One could only run to the distance? But this was wrong? The Queen's rotating slash dance? At the beginning of the slash, there was a flaw that was not obvious? This was the process from the initial speed of the slash to the fastest speed, which was difficult to avoid.

Although the Queen's attack only paused for a moment? But for Su Xiao? That was enough. He stepped forward with one foot, and an impact force moved forward. At the same time, he controlled the crystal layer in front of him to shatter.

With a 'pala' sound? The crystal layer shattered, carrying a whistling sound and shooting forward rapidly? The crystal fragments hit the Queen.

First, she was blown by the blood spear, and then she was hit by the impact of the crystal fragments? It seemed that it didn't cause any damage to the Queen? But it successfully curbed the Queen's use of the rotating slash dance? If the Queen were allowed to slash? Su Xiao would also be very troublesome.

If the Queen's blade technique was a combination of speed, gorgeousness, and beauty? Then Su Xiao's blade technique was a flat slash that was a big move.

Boom!

The ground under Su Xiao's feet exploded. He stood up and rushed forward. From the beginning of the battle until now, no one dared to rush toward the Queen actively. He was the first.

【Blade Dao Blade · Extreme.】

Su Xiao's right arm was raised high, and he slashed down diagonally. The meaning of 'Extreme' was not extreme speed, but extreme slashing power.

A black-blue slash mark was drawn by the long blade and left in the air. In the eyes of Gulu, Saint Poetry, and others, this blade was not fast. Even Saint Poetry, a healing system, had the confidence to dodge it.

But they didn't know that rashly dodging this blade would suffer what kind of tragic subsequent consecutive slashes.

As a Dual Blade Master, the sense of crisis around her made the Queen immediately parry with her dual blades.

Clang!!

Sparks flew up. The Queen, who had been lowering her body, staggered back two big steps. While retreating, the light and dark dual blades slashed to both sides of her body, slashing away the dense slash marks that were about to be generated.

But 【Blade Dao Blade · Extreme】 was just the opening prologue. The real killing move was still behind.

In order to curb the subsequent consecutive slashes generated by 'Extreme', the Queen's light and dark dual blades slashed to both sides of her body, which left her front empty. Su Xiao suddenly rushed forward, pretending to kick straight.

The Queen's vertical pupils shrank slightly, knowing that she couldn't be hit by Su Xiao's straight kick.

The Queen let go of the light blade in her hand. Light flashed on it, forming an impact, causing everything around to slow down, including Su Xiao who was rushing toward her.

The dark blade in the Queen's right hand slashed horizontally, pretending to slash Su Xiao in half with one blade.

At this time, Su Xiao only felt that everything around was white, unable to see anything else. A wind pressure hit from his side, and his side waist was faintly painful. This was about to be slashed in half.

Puchi!

The dark blade slashed across Su Xiao's waist. Su Xiao was suddenly slashed into two halves, and a large amount of blood scattered.

Slashing Su Xiao heavily with one blade, the Queen's left hand gripped empty, and the light blade that had just left her hand was sucked into her hand. She took advantage of the trend and stabbed down, nailing Su Xiao's upper body to the ground.

Boom.

Light flames exploded. Su Xiao's upper body shattered, and blood splashed everywhere, staining the surrounding ground.

The bedchamber became silent enough to hear a pin drop. Su Xiao, who had just been confronting the Queen head-on and even faintly suppressing the Queen, was now blown to pieces by light flames.

But 0.5 seconds later, with the light blade stabbed into the ground as the center, the blood stains splashing to the surroundings gradually turned into blood energy. More importantly, after Su Xiao was blown to pieces, no flesh and blood or broken bones splashed out.

Any ability cannot be applied rigidly. For example, blood energy. In Su Xiao's view, blood energy is one of the best energies to constitute a 'substitute body'. Blood energy can 100% mimic fresh blood. As long as the energy control is strong enough, the blood energy substitute body formed can splash fresh blood after being attacked.

Su Xiao couldn't do this before. After mastering the Blood Spear Master and gradually developing it, he successfully achieved this point.

Dragon Shadow Flash + Blood Energy Avatar, combining evading attacks with confusing the enemy.

Space fluctuations appeared above the Queen. Su Xiao appeared above the Queen's spine and kicked down.

Boom!!

The shock spread. The Queen was like being hit by a heavy artillery at close range. She, who had already lowered her body, knelt on one knee directly, almost lying on the ground. She smashed out a big pit, and smoke and dust surged.

The mutual interaction force of the downward kick lifted Su Xiao a bit. Taking advantage of the Queen being kicked to the ground, the long blade in his hand flashed with cold light and stabbed toward the Queen's back heart.

During the fall, Su Xiao felt the skin all over his body stinging. It was the pain of frostbite caused by low temperature. Almost at the same time this feeling appeared, a fine ice crystal network appeared around him. He was bound for a moment, then successfully broke free.

Although it only bound him for a moment, it was enough for the Queen below. Although she was kicked not lightly by Su Xiao, feeling that her spine was about to break, she had already stood up from the concave pit and reached out to grab Su Xiao with one hand.

Wind pressure hit. The long blade in Su Xiao's hand in mid-air returned to its sheath. If the Queen's hand dared to grab him, the power of the instant blade draw would be enough to cut off the Queen's fingers.

But the Queen didn't care about this at all. She grabbed toward Su Xiao's torso with one hand.

Clang~

A crisp slashing sound spread. The hand the Queen grabbed, along with the silver armor wrapped outside the skin, was slashed to pieces, and the scattered fingers fell.

Su Xiao stepped on the ground, and the Queen's other hand also grabbed toward him. The Queen's speed was too fast; he couldn't dodge it.

Looking at the Queen again, a light clone had already emerged behind her. This light clone only had an upper body, as if the Queen had a double image when moving forward. In a non-discordant form, she shared a lower body with the Queen.

The characteristics of this light clone were enviable. During the existence of the light clone, all damage suffered by the Queen would be transferred to the light clone. For example, the Queen's left hand that had just been slashed to pieces was now restored to its original state, while the light clone behind her lost its left hand.

The Queen grabbed Su Xiao with one hand and didn't hesitate at all. She clearly knew that grabbing Su Xiao, who was more dangerous was not certain, so she used all her strength to throw Su Xiao toward the wall dozens of meters away.

Su Xiao swept out a series of air explosions, and then smashed into the wall. A semi-circular big pit appeared on the wall, and gravel flew toward the surroundings.

Inside the wall, Su Xiao stared at the Queen. Although he felt that all the bones in his body were about to break, the expression on his face didn't change. Screaming in pain couldn't relieve the pain, but would only let the enemy know that he was heavily injured. However, being able to remain expressionless at this time was thanks to Marvin Waltz.

The body's perception recovered quickly. In the concave pit on the wall, Su Xiao turned his head to the side. The light blade was nailed beside his ear, and the splashing gravel even drew several very shallow blood marks on his face. This was the Queen dozens of meters away throwing the light blade.

Dodging the light blade, the dark blade followed, and this time it was unavoidable.

Blue light surged in Su Xiao's eyes, and his pupils shrank slightly.

【Blade Dao Blade · Time.】

The domain of time spread, shrouding the nailed dark blade. The flight speed of the dark blade slowed down a bit, but it still couldn't be dodged. Su Xiao's body now hadn't fully recovered its perception.

Click, click, click~

The crystal layer wrapped around Su Xiao's left hand. At this time, wanting to block the dark blade was underestimating the Queen's killing move too much. Even in the domain of time, the most Su Xiao could do was change the flight trajectory of the dark blade.

Su Xiao felt that everything around was getting slower and slower. He slowly raised his left hand, bringing up 'water ripples' in the air. As the dark blade hit, his left hand pressed on the front side of the dark blade's spine and pulled hard toward his side.

Boom!

The dark blade pierced in from the side of Su Xiao's waist and was nailed to the wall, with the hilt slightly tilted upward.

With the recovery of his body, Su Xiao stood up supporting himself on the spine of the dark blade with one hand. Afterward, he jumped lightly and stepped on the spine of the dark blade. As he moved forward step by step, he stepped on the end of the dark blade with one foot. Throughout the whole process, his gaze was confronting the Queen dozens of meters away.

Gulu and Saint Poetry, who were watching the battle, admitted that at this moment they were sour. They were sour about the various abilities of the technique type, but after thinking about how poor the technique type was, their hearts balanced.

Wood was continuously weakening the Queen's combat strength, and Ona, who had invaded the Queen's body, was also doing so. But to be honest, Su Xiao didn't feel it very obviously.

This was not Wood and Ona slacking off. Wood's weakening was very slow to take effect. As for Ona, Ona was bitter in her heart now. After she invaded the Queen's body, the experience was extraordinarily sour. Even if she was of the Ancient God system, she couldn't get any benefit from the power of the Abyss.

【Blade Dao Blade · Blue Ghost.】

Clang!

The blue-green slash light flew out, heading straight for the weaponless Queen.

Blue Ghost slashed diagonally toward the Queen, with a terrifying momentum. Just as it hit the Queen, the Queen waved her hand, and a burst of cold air swept past.

After the crisp sound of rapid freezing, the ice-blue Blue Ghost slashed on the Queen's collarbone, then exploded, and ice chips flew everywhere.

Losing face, it was actually frozen.

Witnessing this scene, Su Xiao suspected that his deep development of Blue Ghost before was a waste of effort.

But saying Blue Ghost had no effect was not the case. Su Xiao had taken the opportunity to rush to the front of the Queen.

【Blade Dao Blade · Flow.】

The elegant wind marks slashed across, and slash marks appeared on the Queen's chest and abdomen. Blood spilled, and without a weapon, she could only resist Su Xiao's slash head-on.

Su Xiao rushed to three meters in front of the Queen. The Queen, who was slashed by 'Flow', finally revealed a trace of decline. But at this moment, the light and dark dual blades suddenly appeared in her hands. As a Blade Master, she threw these two weapons, naturally having full confidence in retrieving them.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

Rapid slashing sounds came. The dual blades in the Queen's hands slashed consecutively, leaving slash marks in the air. The weapon collision caused sparks to fly consecutively. The Queen had been deliberately showing weakness just now.

Swish~

Scars appeared on Su Xiao's shoulder, followed by his abdomen, ribs, and other positions. If Lide saw this scene, he would probably be emotionally unstable. It wasn't because Su Xiao was injured, but because he would roar: 'Don't TM come to me to repair leather defensive gear.'

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand parried consecutively in front of him. When he could feel that the oppression from the Queen was getting stronger and stronger, his right arm holding the blade had appeared numb due to consecutive parries.

Five blood spears gathered above Su Xiao. The appearance of the long-range blood spear, namely "Blood Spear · Hunt", could basically be considered that Su Xiao had entered the second stage.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three blood spears pierced and exploded, stabbing diagonally toward the Queen from top to bottom. The Queen, who was slashing consecutively, could only use the dual blades to meet and slash the blood spears. The long blade slashed onto the blood spears, and the blood spears exploded.

This was the most shameless... cough, strongest point of "Blood Spear · Hunt". Even if one blocked its shooting, the subsequent blood energy explosion was equally difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, the Queen was blown back consecutively.

Blood spears appeared one after another above Su Xiao. As soon as the blood spears were formed, they attacked the Queen one after another. The consecutive explosions of blood energy made people only vaguely see the Queen's figure.

The Queen retreated step by step accompanied by the explosion of blood energy. Su Xiao pressed forward step by step. Every time a blood spear was shot above him, another one would be immediately regenerated, causing continuous suppression on the Queen.

In the corner behind, Gulu saw the blood spears, and bad memories flooded her heart. She had been blown up by blood spears consecutively before, and she had gone to heaven.

The deafening roar continued. After the Queen was suppressed and retreated a few steps, she began to slash out light and dark characteristic blade lights consecutively, bombarding the blood spears attacking one after another.

Although the Queen resisted the continuously attacking blood spears with blade lights, due to the blood energy explosion, her health was gradually slipping.

The Queen realized that this couldn't go on. The focus point of her eyes, after the cold air rose and spread, the Queen disappeared in place and appeared where the cold air was, which was behind Su Xiao.

The dark blade slashed down on his head, blowing Su Xiao's black hair. It was too late to dodge. He lifted Checking Zhan Long Shan over his head, holding the hilt with one hand and dragging the spine of the blade with the other, and tilted the long blade as a whole, using the inclination of the blade edge to reduce the force of the enemy's slash.

Clang!

This slash was heavy; a large area of the ground beneath Su Xiao's feet cracked. After he took this slash head-on, he flicked his long blade, the edges grinding against each other, parrying the dark blade. Afterward, he pointed his long blade diagonally at the ground, blood-flames emerged on it, and he began a brief buildup of power.

The light blade slashed from behind Su Xiao's back, slashing through his body without any obstruction. He had already entered the space penetration state.

Su Xiao, with his back to the Queen, used the Dragon Shadow Flash ability and appeared behind the Queen.

【Blade Dao Blade · Kill.】

Whoosh!

A black-red slash light streak slashed out, shrouding the Queen in it. The 'Kill' after short accumulation of power, its power soared. This move was similar to 'Ring Break'. Instant slash was trash, but after accumulation of power, the power was ridiculous.

Inside the black-red slash light streak, fine slash marks appeared all over the Queen's body, as if she were being slashed by a thousand knives. The pain appeared on her face, which had been expressionless, which meant her sanity had recovered a bit.

【Blade Dao Blade · Blue Ghost.】

The blue-green blade light slashed out, opening the Queen's neck. As blood spilled, the Queen's health slipped to 49.52%.

The Queen stood up straight and roared angrily, her ice-white long hair moving without wind. This loud shout seemed to be questioning, questioning those in power in the Ghoul race, questioning the adoptive father who raised her, why he chose to betray her back then.

With a 'pala' sound, the Queen's lower body made of polar ice energy shattered. Only the upper body remained as she landed. Her body from the waist down all turned into ice chips, drifting in the air.

The Queen was betrayed back then, not only were her legs slashed off, but the soul below her waist was burned away by the poison targeting the soul. The legs shaped by polar ice energy, fighting until now, could no longer be maintained.

Cold air spread to the surroundings. Su Xiao jumped backward consecutively. At this time, he must not be affected by this cold air.

The Queen, who only had her upper body left, landed. Her skin quickly turned into translucent ice-white. The light and dark long blades had been nailed to the ground by her. Her hands turned into angular polar ice claws, each claw the size of a washbasin, with sharp claws.

Tap, tap.

The Queen dragged her body forward with two claws. The ground she passed along the way turned into ice-white, rising with cold air. A blood spear that was nailed to the ground and hadn't exploded was clung to by cold ice and instantly frozen into ice dregs.

Only to see the Queen stab one claw into her abdomen, take out a piece of bright red flesh and blood from inside, and flick her arm. This piece of flesh and blood frozen by polar ice broke through a layer of air explosion and smashed into the wall dozens of meters away.

In the smoke and dust of splashing gravel, Ona appeared. She spat out a mouthful of blood full of ice chips with a 'wow' sound, feeling speechless in her heart, speechless about what kind of enemy Su Xiao and Wood provoked. She had insisted on the first half of the battle too difficultly.

"Wife, I'll come."

Zuiyas's voice came from the twisted cross. This wife-protecting maniac was a bit unable to sit still.

"I'll take this round. After this round, you go on stage. It might be more dangerous later, so you have to keep a good state."

"Good."

Zuiyas didn't insist anymore, but he also understood one point: husband and wife should respect each other's choices.

Ona took out a dagger with a strange shape and wiped her throat with this dagger. No fresh blood sprayed out, and her figure gradually became transparent.

At the same time, the wound on the Queen's abdomen healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. No, this was backtracking. Ona performed a short-term time backtracking on something she had experienced.

That she could do this was not surprising. Zuiyas had time-type abilities. This kind of ability was powerful while also having many constraints.

Re-invading the Queen's body, Ona regretted it. It was really too cold.

Not to mention Ona's situation, at this time in the bedchamber covered with frost, although the Queen had no lower body, she supported the ground with both hands, but her height at this time didn't look short.

The only bit of sanity the Queen had originally completely disappeared, which caused her shape to change greatly.

Not only did her skin present a translucent ice-white, but her white long hair also became very long and fluffy, with ice mist drifting on it. Her face was even more different from before. Originally a beauty, she was now in a beast state, with two slender ice horns curving backward on her head.

Now the Queen had completely become the Daughter of the Abyss, no longer that gorgeous female Blade Master.

The Queen's health was below 50%, and she didn't enter the King of Polar Ice state, but irreversibly transformed into the Daughter of the Abyss state.

"Roar!"

The Queen roared, and layers of sound waves spread to the surroundings. All objects affected by the frost-white sound waves had ice crystals emerging on them, and then were frozen into ice dregs. The power of this move was simply strong to the point of being unreasonable.

Clang! Clang!

Two slash lights crisscrossed and slashed toward the Queen. The Queen's claws lined up. Just before the claws were injured by the slash lights, the low temperature on them froze the slash lights, and then they were patted into ice dregs.

A blood spear attacked before the Queen's brow, but was grabbed by the Queen with one hand. The blood spear hadn't exploded yet, but was frozen into ice dregs, scattering down through the Queen's fingers.

The Queen's claws reached forward, then pressed on the ground, moving forward in this way.

Don't think her speed was slow. At this time, the Queen was at the innermost side of the hall. The places she passed and both sides were covered by polar ice. As long as she touched the polar ice, not only would she suffer ice-hole damage, but when the freezing value exceeded a certain degree, the part of the body that touched the polar ice would be frozen into ice dregs, scattering like sand.

It could only be said that Xiang Bubu Wang, who was standing on one leg on the head of the sculpture at the innermost side, was very wise. Although he was shivering from the cold now, fortunately, he didn't touch the polar ice.

As the Queen moved outward, the size of the combat field was rapidly compressed. With the Queen's arm span and polar ice ability, the smaller the combat field, the more advantageous it was for her.

Saint Poetry in the corner turned pale. She seriously doubted, was this really a Tier 8 big boss?

Su Xiao stood in the middle of the bedchamber. He couldn't retreat, but the Queen's polar ice ability was too dangerous.

What Su Xiao didn't expect was that when the Queen approached within a few meters in front, he didn't feel too cold. The polar ice was not as terrifying as imagined.

Soon he discovered that it wasn't that the polar ice wasn't terrifying, but that his own resistance was extremely high. First was the polar ice resistance improved by the basic passive · physique, and then there was the polar ice resistance improved by 【Item】, but these two were not the protagonists. The 【Blood Fragrant Alcohol】 Su Xiao drank earlier improved a huge amount of polar ice resistance.

Click, click.

Su Xiao stepped on the polar ice. The Queen stopped opposite him, her whole body rising with cold air. In the next second, both moved at the same time, rushing toward each other.

With a 'clatter', the long blade and the ice claw collided. Su Xiao felt a huge force coming from the blade, making him almost unable to hold the long blade. The Queen's speed was slower than before, but her strength soared, reaching the level of crushing. If Su Xiao weren't a triple master, he would have been slapped away with the blade at this time.

After the Queen slapped over, she spat out ice flames from her mouth. Su Xiao was shrouded in ice flames, and his whole person turned into an ice sculpture.

Seeing this scene, the Queen clapped her hands together. After a muffled sound, the ice sculpture shattered.

Space fluctuations appeared. Su Xiao appeared in front of the Queen and slashed toward the Queen's throat with one blade.

【Blade Dao Blade · Extreme.】

Puchi.

Translucent red blood splashed. The Queen's throat was slashed open, but she didn't care at all. An impact spread out.

【Warning: You have been watched by "Eye of Polar Ice". You will lose 8% of your maximum health per second. This effect lasts for 5 seconds.】

Su Xiao's health began to drop wildly. The Queen's ability had no judgment, no warning. She just looked at Su Xiao.

Baja, who hadn't made a move, rushed out from the different space. It didn't make a move just now to guard against the 'good teammates'. Now it couldn't care about those.

Baja appeared to attract attention. It shouted: "I..."

Baja just 'accumulated power', and the Queen turned her gaze to look at it.

"I damn!"

Bearing the gaze of "Eye of Polar Ice", Baja lost 13.7% of its health per second, and the effect lasted for 6 seconds. Baja was stupid. It was just looked at once, and it actually had to lose 82.2% of its health. No one would believe this if it were said out.

Absolutely couldn't fight a war of attrition. Just this terrifying staring ability was enough to make people unable to withstand it.

Su Xiao's health was originally not over 50%. At this time, after his health dropped wildly, he was about to enter the third stage.

Ona made a move at this time. I don't know what she did, but the Queen's life fluctuation weakened by a large margin, and she spat out fresh blood with internal organ fragments from her mouth.

Wood, who had been hiding, also appeared. He was like a black smoke death god, and his green pupil flames faded rapidly.

The Queen's aura weakened. Gulu, who had been in the corner, didn't stay idle either. She knew that if she didn't kill the enemy, she wouldn't survive in the end.

Gulu entered the stealth state. The bonus of the Night Walker suit appeared. The short knife in her hand slashed toward the front, and in the next second, a slash mark appeared on the Queen's neck more than ten meters away.

The Queen turned her gaze, and Gulu immediately bore the gaze of "Eye of Polar Ice". Her health dropped wildly. This terrifying damage intensity made Gulu stupid.

Clang!

The long blade blocked the ice claw that was slapped over. Su Xiao's figure sank, and the stone slab covered by polar ice under his feet shattered.

A cold freezing pulse spread with the Queen as the center. The first to be unlucky was Ona. Afterward, frost clung to Su Xiao's whole body, and Wood was also frozen. Bearing the "Eye of Polar Ice" plus this "Polar Cold Pulse", Wood was also not having a good time. Although his state now could weaken the enemy, his own survival ability would also be greatly weakened.

Wood turned into an ice sculpture and smashed to the ground. Gulu and Saint Poetry also turned into ice sculptures, and Baja in the different space was also affected.

In the blink of an eye, only Su Xiao himself remained with combat strength. Gulu, who turned into an ice sculpture, widened her eyes a bit, meaning: 'You are the hope of the whole village.'

"Roar!!"

The Queen roared, and layers of frost air waves spread. Flying snow fell above, and the ground was covered with nearly 20 centimeters of accumulated snow in an instant.

The Queen didn't even need to rush toward the enemy. Just by continuing to change the environment here, she could put all invaders to death in the subsequent dozen seconds.

Flying snow blew toward his face. Su Xiao blocked in front of him with one arm. His state now was extremely poor, and his blood was about to be frozen.

Just in this desperate situation, fire seemed to ignite in Su Xiao's body. It was not a raging fire, but the fire of embers.

【Inscription Base Effect · Fire of Embers (Passive): When the base wearer is attacked and loses more than 20% of their maximum health in a short time, the fire of embers will ignite in your body, significantly increasing your body defense in the subsequent 10 seconds.】

The blood that was about to be frozen in Su Xiao's body seemed to be burning. Sparks and burning patterns appeared on his long leather coat.

【Wild Hunt Night Equipment Effect · End of Embers (Passive): When the wearer's health drops below 15%, this equipment will consume durability rapidly at the cost of super-large defense increase.】

Embers flew. Su Xiao's health had already slipped below 10%, entering the near-death line. Without the Black King Armguard, he would be unable to fight at this time.

【Blood Spear Master · Lv. 40 Ultimate Ability · Life After Death (Passive): If the hunter's blood volume drops to a near-death level, your soul power will be fully activated. During this period, all your melee attack damage is increased by 50%.】

A melee blood spear formed beside Su Xiao. With a 'snap', his left hand wrapped in metal armguards gripped 【Blood Spear · Firm】. Su Xiao officially entered the third stage, the strongest he could reach.

Boom!!

The ground collapsed. The path Su Xiao passed, stone slabs and ice layers shattered in response, splashing into mid-air.

Clang!

The Queen's ice claw blocked Su Xiao's long blade.

【Blade Dao Blade · Extreme.】

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand pressed down, slashing off half of the Queen's palm with a 'swish'. She leaned her head back slightly, pretending to spit out ice flames.

Su Xiao swung the blood spear nearly 2.7 meters long in his hand, a heavy downward slash. This move was learned from the Iron Feather King.

With a roar, the Queen who was preparing to spit out ice flames held it back and was smashed into dizziness by the blood spear.

After one hit, Su Xiao's long blade slashed upward, nearly opening the Queen's chest and abdomen.

It looked like Su Xiao was suppressing the Queen, but in reality, his situation was very dangerous. The third stage was indeed powerful, but his health only had 8.65% left. Even with the defense increase of the "Double Embers" effect, whether he could withstand the Queen's blow was really uncertain.

After taking a slash from Su Xiao, blood sprayed out. The Queen roared, and layers of sound waves mixed with ice chips spread. Su Xiao's health dropped again.

Su Xiao threw the blood spear in his hand. The blood spear pierced through the Queen's neck, and blood sprayed. The Queen stopped roaring in response, and she lowered her head to look at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao reached behind him with his left hand, and 【Item】 appeared in his hand. This slender, ancient firearm aimed at the Queen.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

Fired five shots consecutively, all hitting the Queen's head. In the erosion of the deathly silence power, rotten gray slag fell. The Queen, whose consciousness had already been beast-like, covered her face and roared.

The Queen's claws landed on the ground. She stared at Su Xiao with her only remaining eye. She exerted force with both hands, and her whole person flew toward Su Xiao.

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand returned to its sheath. He lowered his body slightly and slowly exhaled white air from his mouth. All the blood energy in his body clung to Checking Zhan Long Shan. This was the strongest slash he could make in the blood energy system.

【Blade Dao Blade · Blood Shadow.】

In the sky-filling flying snow, Su Xiao and the Queen rushed toward each other at the same time. The blood-colored slash marks and the ice-blue claw marks crossed each other. Afterward, both stood with their backs to each other. The picture seemed to freeze for a moment. 0.5 seconds later, the flying snow continued to fall.

Tick, tick~

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand pointed diagonally to the ground, and the blood dripping from it fell on the snow.

With a 'thump', Su Xiao fell into the accumulated snow. His left arm was broken at the root, and there were three ferocious claw marks on his chest, piercing through his entire chest.

Fresh blood spread under Su Xiao, dyeing the snow around him red. Behind him, the Queen smashed to the ground. She turned her body and looked at Su Xiao.

"Roar!"

The Queen roared. Her state seemed better, but 1.5 seconds later, a ferocious slash mark gradually appeared on her torso, crossing her entire chest and abdomen diagonally. This wound was extremely deep. After it slowly cracked open, her internal organs were exposed, among which the heart slashed into two segments was particularly obvious.

A piece of bright red flesh and blood broke free from the Queen's body. This was not her means, but Ona who was frozen half to death.

With a 'rumble', the Queen fell to the ground. And on the other side, Su Xiao stood up from the snowfield dyed red. The team ability "Vitality Awakening" was truly life-saving.

"Whoo~"

Su Xiao exhaled cold air from his mouth. With red light in his eyes, he walked toward the Queen step by step on the snow. Until he stopped beside the Queen, it wasn't that he didn't want to resolve the Queen, but he had to take a break before he had the strength to draw his blade.

The Queen didn't die. Her only remaining eye returned to a human eye. The Queen had amber pupils, very beautiful.

The Queen used her last strength, raised her upper body as much as possible, and looked up as much as possible.

Su Xiao, with one arm, raised the blade in his hand and slashed down. Ice and blood flew, and the huge head fell on the snow.

"You won... that's good."

Ethereal sounds appeared in the air, as if they had really appeared, or as if it were an illusion.

The Queen's body gradually turned into polar ice, shattering inch by inch, together with the severed head, turning into crystal-clear broken ice, drifting in the air.

Ghoul Queen, killed.

The battle ended, and the flying snow stopped. After the Queen turned into polar ice and shattered, a crown fell on the accumulated snow, along with Su Xiao's left arm that had been bitten off by the Queen.

Su Xiao picked up the treasure chest and crown dropped by the Queen. Baja, who was almost frozen into a sand sculpture, broke away from the different space. At the moment of life and death, fortunately, Baja used space ability to reduce the Queen's speed, otherwise, the final winner would have changed.

Baja, shivering from the cold, took out the cell life-support box. After opening it, it put Su Xiao's left arm into it, with skilled movements. This cell life-support box was a seventh-generation product, preserving the severed limb for a month, with the same freshness as when it was just severed.

Before Su Xiao could check the kill rewards, ten meters away, white tentacles spread, and Ona, pale-faced, crawled out from between these tentacles.

Ona didn't say anything more. Lying on the ground powerlessly, she gripped the twisted cross on her neck with one hand.

This cross emitted white light, sucking Ona into it. The brilliance on it changed, turning into black light. An arm reached out from the black light, accompanied by the spread of black tentacles, and Zuiyas struggled out from the twisted black light.

After Zuiyas appeared, he wore the twisted cross on his neck. He was still in the priest's robe, with a smile on his face.

"White Night, we meet again."

Zuiyas smiled from the heart, because his state was the best now.

"Damn, it's actually a husband and wife team."

Although Baja was half-dead from the cold, it didn't make many moves in the battle just now. This was to guard against Zuiyas. Ona's various behaviors all represented that Zuiyas would go on stage.

However, one point was worth noting. Although the Meteorite Star got two spots, there should be some problems in it. Zuiyas and his wife could only show one person, while the other had to inhabit the twisted cross, at most communicating with the outside world in language.

"Zuiyas, you can endure until now."

Wood, who had just thawed, walked over. The good teammate trio gathered together.

Just at this moment, the door of the bedchamber opened again. It wasn't that it opened automatically after killing the Queen, but someone opened this door from the outside.

A figure no taller than 1.5 meters stood outside the door. He was thin, and his whole person revealed one part of wretchedness, three parts of sneakiness, and six parts of craftiness. Just seeing this person would make one subconsciously touch the pocket where they kept their money. Even if they were sure the money was still there, they had to keep pressing it with their hands to feel at ease.

"My dear friend, Caesar is late."

Caesar walked into the bedchamber with a crafty smile. The good teammate trio added one more person, becoming a good teammate quartet. After these four people gathered together, it could only be said that I hope the Tree-Born World could still be safe. ===== CHAPTER 3439 =====
