Chapter 3472: Technique Expert

On the vast water area, the hundred-meter-wide stone platform spanning the entire water area was covered by a thin layer of water. Su Xiao and the Gray Gentleman stood on it, confronting each other.

Ding~

Su Xiao's left index finger tapped the blade. The "Silver Moon Blade" and "Spirit Blade" gain states were added to the blade. Without any nonsense, a roar sounded under his feet, and a splash of water was blasted away due to strong kinetic energy. He disappeared from where he was, turning into a residual shadow, rushing straight toward the Gray Gentleman.

Where Su Xiao passed, the water surface suddenly swept up. The next second, he appeared in front of the Gray Gentleman. The long sword in his hand tore through space, slashing a black mark, heading straight for the Gray Gentleman's neck.

The Gray Gentleman's gaze remained calm. At the same time Su Xiao raided, he had already raised his right hand. Just as the long sword was about to slash him, his hand pressed forward virtually.

Boom!

An air explosion spread out. Su Xiao's attack stopped abruptly. The long sword stopped ten-plus centimeters beside the Gray Gentleman's neck. The wind pressure brought by the slashing power blew the Gray Gentleman's hair and collar.

Behind Su Xiao, a black shadow appeared. This black shadow was the same as his physique, clothing outline, and even the weapon in his hand, and it kept synchronized movements with him. It was this black shadow that made his attack suddenly stop. This was the Gray Gentleman's puppet ability.

Click click click~

The black shadow behind Su Xiao quickly crystallized. The Aoge ability was not just simple enough to be used for defense.

With a click, crystal debris splashed everywhere. Su Xiao's aura erupted, and the blood energy rushed toward the Gray Gentleman, and another slash was made.

Clang!

Sparks splashed. A metal cane blocked the Checking Zhan Long Shan. To be precise, this should be considered a cane sword.

A phantom appeared behind the Gray Gentleman. This phantom had no lower body, as if connected to the Gray Gentleman's back. She wore a silent bird mask, manifested as a solid body, and the arm holding the cane sword, although having a few soft lines of a woman, also had a kind of firm power.

Clang, clang, clang!

The crisp sound of metal clashing continued. Several more slashes were blocked by the Gray Gentleman. The Gray Gentleman was not weak in melee combat. His puppets were not lacking in technique types. Under the blessing of his ability, these soul puppets could fight Su Xiao head-on.

Taking advantage of Su Xiao's slash being blocked by the soul puppet one after another, the Gray Gentleman raised his hand and pointed at Su Xiao. A straight black line appeared.

The moment he was pointed at the center of his eyebrows by the Gray Gentleman, Su Xiao's eyebrows felt a stinging pain. Just the "sensing pain" reached this level. If he was hit by this blow, he would likely have his head shattered, leading to the end of the battle.

The black line between the Gray Gentleman's finger and Su Xiao's eyebrows solidified. Almost at the same time, Su Xiao tilted his head to avoid it.

Boom!!

A fist-thick dark beam flew past Su Xiao's ear. The Gray Gentleman's palm on the opposite side was aimed at Su Xiao.

Thud!

Su Xiao's ears buzzed. A huge force rushed toward him, as if a dark barrier had slammed into him from the front, blasting him back more than 30 meters.

Su Xiao's feet plowed through the water, splashing everywhere. When he stopped his posture, he was already half-squatting on the stone platform. Water droplets dripped along his hair, and all the bones in his body felt like they were about to fall apart.

Thirty-plus meters away, the Gray Gentleman looked relaxed, but in fact, it was not so. The soul puppet behind him was evaporating into black gas. This soul puppet only fought Su Xiao a few times in melee combat, and the soul puppet with the melee master degree was actually scrapped, and it was like a dream.

The Gray Gentleman with dark gold pupils narrowed his eyes. He knew that in the current situation, only by further throwing himself into the abyss could he win. For this, he had long been prepared.

An impact spread with the Gray Gentleman as the center point. Black smoke shrouded him. The next second, the black smoke dissipated. The Gray Gentleman floated at a height of half a meter from the water surface. His height reached over 1.95 meters, and his bare upper body was a bit more muscular than before.

It stands to reason that transforming combat forms generally takes a few seconds, but the Gray Gentleman completed it in the blink of an eye. This was to avoid Su Xiao raiding forward and giving him a slash while he was transforming forms as much as possible.

A distorted dark energy force field appeared around the Gray Gentleman. Cracks like glass shattering appeared in the surrounding air. This was the spirit that the Gray Gentleman should have after absorbing abyss power. Just now, it was just a test.

The Gray Gentleman looked at the empty space. Baja, who was in the different space here, felt his breath choke.

"I damn~"

Baja just opened its mouth, suddenly feeling severe pain all over its body, followed by a sense of restraint. When it reacted, it had already been grabbed by the head by the Gray Gentleman, and then squeezed.

Click.

Baja cracked. Its skull cracked. Baja, who escaped with its life at a critical moment by performing spatial teleportation, fell onto Su Xiao's shoulder in a daze. Blood flowed along its bird beak and nostrils.

"Boss, that move just now, too... too sudden. Felt nothing. Not a spatial ability."

Baja, whose eyes were blood-red, spoke, leaving this sentence, and hid into the different space.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was lurking here providing a halo a hundred meters away, subconsciously held its breath. It was terrified at that time.

Bang, bang!

Two black thorns stabbed out from under Su Xiao's feet. He jumped back continuously, causing a large area of black thorns tracking him to appear along the way.

These black thorns all presented a spiral shape, black with a gray metallic texture, and were a mixture of abyss energy and some kind of substance. The stab wound caused by being hit was not to mention, its attached debuff effect was definitely more terrifying.

Su Xiao stopped jumping back. The sound of wind in his ears stopped. He slashed virtually with his sword.

【Blade Dao Sword: Blue Ghost.】

Zing~

A cyan-blue slash with a diameter of over 3 meters slashed out diagonally. This slash was unstoppable, carrying the sound of breaking wind, and attacked the Gray Gentleman.

The Gray Gentleman floating in the low sky pressed forward with one hand. With a pop, the slash shattered a few meters in front of him, turning into cyan-blue slash fragments, flying past the Gray Gentleman's surroundings.

At this moment, the faint red glow in Su Xiao's eyes turned pale blue. The fragments of the Blue Ghost that had scattered behind the Gray Gentleman suddenly surged back. These were not fragments of a slashing glow; rather, at the instant before the Blue Ghost was dispersed by dark energy, it had split itself into a large number of small slashing glows.

Following Su Xiao's manipulation, these small Blue Ghosts slashed back, slashing onto the Gray Gentleman's spine!

Then, failed to break the defense. Damn! Trash!

"..."

The Gray Gentleman frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple, and guarded against what kind of backhand these small Blue Ghosts had in his heart. In fact, he was overthinking.

After the initial confrontation, Su Xiao had roughly judged the Gray Gentleman's combat style. The opponent's combat style was mid-range, and his melee ability was not weak, but not persistent enough.

Although this was the case, the opponent had multiple anti-melee means. Just that kind of dark impact was enough to make people have a headache, and every time he was hit by the opponent's ability, Su Xiao would stack a dark mark.

Once there was a dark mark on his body, all life recovery effects would be forcibly reduced by 50%. And, once this mark stacked to 10 layers, it would erupt.

After the dark mark erupted, a "Past Life Puppet" would appear behind Su Xiao. The effect of this puppet was that it could synchronize the action power of a target, that is, to forcibly immobilize it for 3–5 seconds.

This ability was not mental control, and even, it was not considered a control ability, but a synchronization of action power, so it could not be immune by various passive effects of his own.

Not to mention 3–5 seconds, in a fierce battle, even being immobilized for 1 second was enough to end the battle.

The good news was that Su Xiao could use the Aoge ability to crack this move, that is, to crystallize the "Past Life Puppet," but this required 0. This short period of being bound was also very dangerous. The Gray Gentleman's "Dark Finger" ability just now was enough to take the opportunity to shoot Su Xiao's head.

As for the Gray Gentleman's ability to suddenly pull people over, please don't be funny. The Gray Gentleman would never use this ability on Su Xiao.

Besides that, the 45 puppets summoned by the opponent when the battle started were also particularly troublesome. These 45 puppets had vaguely formed a surrounding trend, surrounding Su Xiao in the middle.

The detection of the Eye of the Gods was ineffective against the Gray Gentleman, shielded by some piece of equipment of the opponent. With Su Xiao's rich combat experience, he felt that the Gray Gentleman's current combat system was not complicated, but simple and rough, similar to his own.

Su Xiao's battle was entirely based on a sword, while the Gray Gentleman was now deeply compatible with abyss power. The opponent's "Extreme Dark Domain," "Dark Finger," and "Dark Impact" seemed simple, but this ability raised to the extreme was the most troublesome and terrifying, with strong power, large range, and short usage intervals.

Su Xiao's sensing circle gradually closed, his figure was slightly lowered, and the long sword in his hand pointed diagonally at the water surface that had become clear.

Sizzle~

Black threads spread on the Gray Gentleman's arms, connecting to the 45 puppets. Their eyes gradually regained their spirit. In these people's eyes, some were unwilling, some were angry, and more were resigned.

Following the Gray Gentleman's order, the sound of puppets stepping on the water surface came from the surroundings.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three black-blue fireballs blasted out, and the burning sensation approached from Su Xiao's right side.

【Blade Dao Sword: Devour.】

With a whoosh, a dark red streak slashed out, slashing the three black-blue fireballs away. While slashing this sword, Su Xiao had already smoothly sheathed the sword and performed a super-short draw-and-store-power for 0.12 seconds.

【Blade Dao Sword: Ring Break.】

The ring-shaped blade light spread to the surroundings, but the rushing puppets were not ordinary people. Some resisted hard, some pounced forward, and a short-haired girl simply came with a slide.

The short-haired girl pressed one hand toward the water surface. With a bang, white smoke rose, and several three-headed dogs covered in abscesses rushed out from the white smoke. It was an improved and enhanced version of the summoning technique.

Several three-headed dogs bit toward Su Xiao. Su Xiao held the long sword horizontally in front of him. The Blade Domain was indeed scraping against big bosses, but it was most suitable for dealing with these puppets.

The Blade Domain spread out, shrouding the range of over a hundred meters in the surroundings, and cyan-blue slashes slashed out one after another.

【Read books to get cash】 Follow vx public account 【Book Friend Base Camp】, read books and get cash!

Zing, zing, zing...

Flesh and blood splashed everywhere. When the effect of the Blade Domain ended, a large piece of flesh and broken bones fell on the stone platform, and blood beads fell like rain. The water surface around Su Xiao was dyed red.

The Gray Gentleman on the opposite side still stood there, not seeing any movement from him, and the defense layer covered in slash marks around him shattered.

Just the next moment after all the puppets were slashed, their flesh and blood became glowing red, and then exploded.

Thud!

This explosion did not spread to the surroundings, but surged toward Su Xiao in violation of physical common sense, stripping the crystal layer on his body one after another.

When the explosion stopped, the water vapor dissipated. The crystal layer on Su Xiao's body was already tattered and not in shape. A black "Past Life Puppet" synchronized behind him, and while quickly crystallizing, it was also restraining his action power.

The sound of breaking wind rushed toward him. A dark ray symbolizing death became closer and closer in Su Xiao's line of sight, heading straight for the center of his eyebrows. There was no way to avoid it. He activated Dragon Shadow Flash, penetrating space.

His whole body was in severe pain due to the explosion just now, but Su Xiao still rushed forward. The Dragon Shadow Flash ability instantly crossed a distance of 35 meters. A loud explosion came from behind him. It was the "Dark Finger" he had just dodged. If he hadn't dodged this move, he would really have been headshot.

Su Xiao rushed forward at full speed and slashed several times, trying to drag the Gray Gentleman.

Sizzle!

A black-purple laser swept past, which Su Xiao narrowly dodged. Wherever this black laser swept, a chain explosion occurred the very next instant.

This black-purple laser made Su Xiao's charging momentum slow down. He found that it was an eye floating above the Gray Gentleman that swept out this black-purple laser.

【Blade Dao Sword: Blue Ghost.】

The Blue Ghost slashed past, and the Abyss Eye floating above was slashed into two. After slashing this sword, Su Xiao felt regret. Although the Abyss Eye was slashed into two segments, it immediately regenerated, becoming two Abyss Eyes.

Dodging the black-purple lasers sweeping past one after another, Su Xiao successfully raided to a few meters in front of the Gray Gentleman. His battle with the Gray Gentleman, being able to raid forward, had a chance to hammer the Gray Gentleman hard.

The Gray Gentleman often could attack Su Xiao, but Su Xiao's survival ability was strong and relatively resistant.

If the various indices of the two were listed according to E~S, then it was:

Gray Gentleman: Knockback ability S, Survival ability A+, Melee attack A+, Mid-range attack S, Luck A (temporary).

Su Xiao: Advance ability S, Survival ability S, Melee attack S+, Luck E.

Su Xiao left a blood shadow and raided to the Gray Gentleman's close proximity. The Gray Gentleman, floating half a meter above the water surface, had his aura gathered and then spread.

With a rumble, dark impacts rushed toward him, continuously. Su Xiao's crystal arm blocked in front of him. While half-squatting and lowering his center of gravity, he backhanded the sword and stabbed it into the ground.

Following the spine of the Checking Zhan Long Shan, after plowing a ten-plus-meter-long groove on the stone platform, Su Xiao stopped retreating.

The long sword broke through the air, slashing a wind mark. Su Xiao's "Flow" slash was traceless.

The wind mark slashed past, and blood marks appeared on the Gray Gentleman's chest. The cane sword he held broke into two. He discarded the residual weapon in his hand, and a black spiral cone gun made of abyss power appeared in his hand.

With a clatter, the spiral cone gun and the long sword collided. The Gray Gentleman, who was in a floating posture, was slashed back, and he landed smoothly.

Clang!

The long sword slashed toward him. This slash gave people a feeling of being upright and fierce in body refining.

The arm holding the weapon of the Gray Gentleman felt bloated and painful, but his melee ability was not given for nothing. It could be said that in the Eighth Tier, few people were the Gray Gentleman's opponent in melee ability now. Of course, this did not include Su Xiao.

The Gray Gentleman, who was originally similar in height to Su Xiao, was nearly two meters tall in the dark form. Relying on his height advantage and the close distance of the weapon collision, his left fist clenched, and after being climbed and strengthened by dark energy, he blasted a punch at Su Xiao.

Wind pressure rushed toward him. Su Xiao's left arm was also free, so he simply clenched his fist to meet it.

With a pop, Su Xiao's left arm shattered, which caused his posture to lose balance, and the blade of the long sword in his hand grazed the spiral cone gun, unable to hold the enemy's weapon anymore.

Having succeeded in one blow, just as the Gray Gentleman prepared to pursue the victory, he felt a fierce wind blowing toward his face. The crystal arm he had just blasted was now a crystal thorn 20 centimeters long and extremely sharp, coming toward his face. If this was stabbed, he would die or be blind.

The Gray Gentleman blocked in front with one hand, and the spiral cone gun in the other hand swept across in front of him. In a sense, the Gray Gentleman was now also a technique type. This was the Gun Technique Master ability he temporarily mastered through twelve soul puppets. The quality was not enough, and the quantity was enough. At this time, he was assimilating twelve soul puppets who mastered Gun Technique Master during their lifetime.

The sweep of the gun light rushed toward him. Su Xiao did not retreat but advanced. The Gray Gentleman's melee combat was indeed not weak, but in Su Xiao's view, the opponent's melee ability was a bit lacking, without "soul." The opponent's mid-range combat ability was the real strength. Before the opponent's dark impact recovered, don't think about knocking him back.

Su Xiao stepped forward, held the long sword on his side, and the newly constructed crystal arm pressed against the blade spine. This move was called "Immovable: Firm," a move that many sword users knew. It was very ordinary, but specifically used to deal with sweeps.

Clang!!

The sweep of the spiral cone gun was shaken away. The Gray Gentleman, who blocked in front with one hand, felt the hand holding the cone gun go numb, as if a gun had swept onto an immovable mountain.

Amidst the crisp crackling sounds, crystal spikes struck the palm the Gray Gentleman held in front of him, and his sweeping spear was deflected. This left him wide open, but fortunately, his "Dark Impact" ability had finished cooling down, finally allowing him to push Su Xiao back and engage in the mid-range combat he excelled at.

Just when the Gray Gentleman made a move to use "Dark Impact," Su Xiao's pupils tightened slightly. He found a long-lost feeling.

"Flaw!"

Su Xiao kicked straight, hitting the Gray Gentleman's abdomen.

Bang~

Didn't kick out the huge sound of the past, because this was a straight kick that broke the flaw, paying more attention to the penetration of power.

Sure enough, the Gray Gentleman's lower back protruded for a moment, and a force penetrated through. The water surface behind him exploded dozens of meters high.

The Gray Gentleman only felt numbness all over his body. He instinctively supported the ground with one hand, and the whole person knelt on one knee.

【Blade Dao Sword: Extreme.】

The long sword slashed toward the Gray Gentleman's neck. The blade broke through flesh and blood, slashing toward the bones. A dozen claws covered in scales appeared, trying to grab the Checking Zhan Long Shan, but were educated by the sharpness of the Checking Zhan Long Shan, and the scale fingers were slashed off one by one.

【Dark Deterrence Retreat.】

The Gray Gentleman finally used the dark impact. Just this kick + one slash almost made him die on the spot.

Boom!

The impact rushed from the front. Su Xiao's black hair flew. The tear in his long leather coat was torn larger. In the rushing impact, blood marks appeared on his body. Only his crystal left arm had turned into a crystal giant claw like a dragon wing, deeply stabbed into the stone platform on the side, preventing himself from being blasted back.

This stone platform didn't know what texture it was, harder than metal, but at this time it was also shattered by the grasp, and Su Xiao resisted this "Dark Impact," he was only shaken back a few meters, the special crystal left arm shattered and re-constructed into a normal crystal arm.

Blood dripped along Su Xiao's chin. He stared at the Gray Gentleman like a beast in the hunt. Noticing Su Xiao's fierce gaze, the Gray Gentleman's cheeks twitched.

"Ha!"

The Gray Gentleman pushed forward with one hand. He endured the internal organs cracking and forcibly used "Dark Impact."

With a rumble, Su Xiao was finally blasted back dozens of meters. In turn, the Gray Gentleman lowered his head and spat out a large mouthful of black-red blood. After being approached by Su Xiao, he was beaten like a dream.

Following the Gray Gentleman's manipulation, spiral thorns stabbed out from the ground or fell from the sky.

Su Xiao seemed to have suffered heavy damage due to resisting the "Dark Impact" twice, his speed was much slower than before, and he was continuously hit by spiral thorns, piercing his lower abdomen and thighs, dripping with blood.

The dark marks on Su Xiao's body reached 10 layers. A "Past Life Puppet" like a black shadow appeared behind him. He was immediately immobilized, but the "Past Life Puppet" was also quickly crystallizing.

The Gray Gentleman pointed at Su Xiao from afar. Twisted marks appeared on Su Xiao's neck and face. It was the dark mark. This thing could actually be generated out of thin air.

Three "Past Life Puppets" appeared behind Su Xiao at the same time. The energy in the Gray Gentleman's body consumed a large chunk, his face pale. He controlled a black-red spiral thorn gun to attack, heading straight for Su Xiao's head. Being hit by this, he would die.

Su Xiao was unable to move his whole body. A total of four "Past Life Puppets" appeared behind him. To crystallize all these puppets, it would take at least 2 seconds. If he did nothing during this period, 2 seconds later would be his headless corpse falling to the ground.

After a loud explosion, Su Xiao's head was shattered by the black-red spiral thorn gun. The four "Past Life Puppets" behind him disappeared. Blood stains gradually spread under Su Xiao's headless corpse. Because his vitality was too strong, he didn't die immediately after his head shattered, but slowly raised his arm.

The Gray Gentleman was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't receive the kill prompt, looking at Su Xiao's appearance, it was obvious that he was not completely dead, but it was not far from receiving the kill prompt, and the opponent's blood energy was continuously weakening. This guy he identified as his lifelong enemy, just like this... died?

Pfft!

A long sword suddenly pierced through the Gray Gentleman's back heart. The blood-stained blade tip penetrated from the chest. This sword was too sudden, stabbed from the spatial gap.

It was Su Xiao in the penetrating space who stabbed this sword, using blood energy, soul energy, and part of his vitality to construct a "fake death body." He had done this more than once.

The Gray Gentleman's heart was pierced. He instinctively raised his hand to press against the long blade protruding from his chest. Su Xiao, behind him, flicked his long blade, and Dragon Flash sliced out from the Gray Gentleman's shoulder.

"You..."

The Gray Gentleman knelt on one knee like he had lost his strength. He pressed his hand on his bleeding chest. In that gaze full of disbelief, there was a calm that was hard to detect.

Su Xiao behind the Gray Gentleman didn't give the other party any chance. He made a move to slash the other party's head with one sword, but in the process of the blade falling, a strong palpitation appeared, which made Su Xiao decisively give up slashing this sword, changing to a straight kick, kicking the Gray Gentleman away.

The Gray Gentleman broke through a wave of air and landed on the water surface in the distance. After plowing a large splash of water, he stood up from the ground. Because his spine was kicked to recurve, when he stood straight, his spine made a clattering sound and corrected itself.

A 10-centimeter-high black fog puppet shaped like a sunny doll detached from the Gray Gentleman's chest. If Su Xiao had slashed the Gray Gentleman's head just now, the one who died would not be the Gray Gentleman, but Su Xiao himself.

This was the Puppet Master Gray Gentleman. Don't be deceived by the simple and rough abilities he used now. His several famous abilities were all old-school to the extreme.

A few drops of blood in the small black fog puppet evaporated. These were Su Xiao's blood. I don't know where the Gray Gentleman collected them.

The darkness behind the Gray Gentleman gathered, quickly turning into a giant eye, but just at this moment, double images appeared in front of him, and Su Xiao walking toward him became blurry.

With a thud, the Gray Gentleman fell to the ground. He fell on his side on the water surface, and blue electric arcs surged at his heart. It was the Qing Gang Ying energy left in the Gray Gentleman's heart when Su Xiao pierced the Gray Gentleman's heart with one sword just now, and it erupted at this time.

It seemed that the Gray Gentleman entered weakness, but it could only be said that this old guy's acting was explosive.

Ten-plus meters away, Su Xiao wiped the blood on his chin and walked toward the Gray Gentleman. His state was also not good. Multiple organs had displacement and rupture. Because dark marks appeared on his body many times, his recovery ability was reduced to less than 5%. The recovery of the Undying Shadow and recovery potions could only be said to be better than nothing.

Su Xiao disappeared in place, and the next instant appeared beside the Gray Gentleman. He backhanded the sword and stabbed down, stabbing toward the Gray Gentleman's head.

Blood splashed everywhere. Su Xiao stabbed this sword crookedly, stabbing into the stone platform beside the Gray Gentleman's head. As a Sword Technique Master, of course, he shouldn't make such a mistake, but just as he stabbed this sword, spiral black thorns stabbed out from his torso. This feeling was like a huge sea urchin exploding in Su Xiao's chest. If it were anyone else, this would have been death.

Su Xiao failed to stab, so he slashed sideways. This seemingly inconspicuous sword had a layer of crystal attached to the blade, a sword blessed with Qing Ying Wang.

The blade slashed across the Gray Gentleman's face, nearly slashing across half of his head. He floated up in a backward-jumping posture, leaving a trail of blood along the way. His brain buzzed, and his sense of direction began to be unclear. This plain and unadorned sword took half his life.

The Gray Gentleman saw it. Su Xiao's flashy ones, such as cyan-blue slash, or large-area domain slashes, were actually not very good, especially that domain slash, which was simply scraping. Instead, those that looked ordinary, suspected to be flat slashes, had terrifying power.

"Hoo, hoo~"

Su Xiao's breathing gradually calmed down. His blood energy erupted slightly, blasting out the spiral black thorns that stabbed from inside to outside on his body. He pressed one hand on his chest, and a few spirit shadow lines entered his body, prioritizing stitching the pierced heart.

Ten-plus meters away, the Gray Gentleman's situation was also not good. He couldn't figure out one thing. It stands to reason that he, who threw himself into the abyss, should be considered the boss camp, while Su Xiao, as a Hunter, was the challenger camp. But the current situation was that the challenger was actually meatier than the boss. The Gray Gentleman felt aggrieved as a boss, but thinking that the guy on the opposite side had over 43,000 mana points, the Gray Gentleman had nothing to say.

Darkness dissipated around the Gray Gentleman. His killing move had been brewed, and it was time to fight to the death.

Darkness rushed toward him. Su Xiao sensed that the Gray Gentleman's aura was becoming more terrifying. This was obviously to fight him to the final victory.

【Blade Dao Sword: Blood Shadow.】

Su Xiao disappeared into a blood shadow. When he reappeared, he was in front of the Gray Gentleman, slashing virtually with his head.

With a whoosh, the blood-colored streak slashed past. This sword slashed very suddenly, but the Gray Gentleman had long been prepared. Darkness impacted the surroundings with him as the center.

【Blade Dao Sword: Time.】

The domain of time went against the darkness, although it failed to wash away the darkness, it slowed down the rushing impact.

Opposite, in the Gray Gentleman's dark gold eyes, a captivating spirit appeared.

【Puppet, Thunder Lead.】

With a rumble, black lightning poured down, swallowing Su Xiao in it.

In the black thunder, the Gray Gentleman held a scepter produced from the abyss with one hand. Just by aiming it at Su Xiao, all the black thunder would sink into Su Xiao's body, and then erupt. This blow was a must-kill...

Zing~

A slash streaked through the black thunder. The Gray Gentleman's left arm lost consciousness. His left arm holding the scepter was slashed off. He had investigated a lot of Su Xiao's information, but he was not omniscient. Su Xiao could use World Thunder, and those who knew this basically died. Naturally, few people knew that he had very high lightning resistance.

This black thunder was not the Gray Gentleman's only trump card. Sensing that the black thunder effect was not good, the Gray Gentleman changed from hurting the enemy to retreating the enemy, using black thunder as a continuous impact to temporarily suppress Su Xiao's action power. Taking this opportunity, a black shadow appeared behind the Gray Gentleman.

The moment this black shadow appeared, the sky darkened a bit, the clear water in the surrounding water area turned black again, and figures of wandering souls emerged with black water as the carrier.

In an instant, on this vast water area, it was full of figures made of black water, some of which were like giants, some were one-eyed and headless, and some were like war ghosts. Among them, there was the figure of the Ghost Queen, but her appearance was blurry.

These were all things that happened in a flash, just because the black shadow behind the Gray Gentleman appeared. This black shadow fused into his body, making his right arm turn black, and his eyes also became pitch black.

Boom!

The ground under the Gray Gentleman's feet collapsed. He raided to Su Xiao's side in an instant, and his right hand, which had turned into a claw, attacked Su Xiao's face. This made people feel as if the darkness of the whole world was rushing toward them. Without an iron-like will, they would collapse on the spot and lose the possibility of resistance.

Wind pressure rushed toward him. Su Xiao, who had gathered his perception to the limit, felt the threat between life and death. He judged that the opponent's blow was a killing technique! As long as he was touched, there would be no chance.

【Blade Dao Sword: Time.】

The domain of time spread, and everything around slowed down. Su Xiao did not prepare to fight the enemy's big move head-on. The victory or defeat of the battle was sometimes a capture of the opportunity in an instant. Life and death in an instant was not just talk.

Everything around Su Xiao disappeared in his perception. The splashing water droplets disappeared, the rushing dark energy disappeared. In his perception, only this claw of the Gray Gentleman, which was rising with black smoke, remained. Relying on the capture of perception, Su Xiao slashed diagonally. This sword didn't feel fast in his own perception, but in the Gray Gentleman's perception, it was as fast as thunder.

With a swish, the long sword cut off the Gray Gentleman's right arm, and blood splashes flew. This sword was crisp, neat, and cool to the extreme. This was a technique expert.

Slashing this stunning sword, Su Xiao tilted his body slightly, dodging the flying black right arm. He didn't want to be touched by this thing.

Immediately after, Su Xiao connected a straight kick to break the flaw. With a bang, the Gray Gentleman on the opposite side was kicked to kneel on one knee, his whole body numb and unable to move. The darkness in his eyes quickly faded, but his gaze remained firm.

Black-blue smoke climbed onto the Checking Zhan Long Shan. The Magic Blade ability was activated. Su Xiao held the sword with both hands and slashed across the Gray Gentleman's chest.

Pfft!

After one slash, blood beads splashed. The abyss power in the Gray Gentleman's body stripped away at a speed visible to the naked eye. His height and physique gradually returned to his previous appearance. The thousands of black water phantoms on the surrounding water area collapsed, turning into clear water and dispersing.

All darkness and abyss-born creatures were slashed back by this Magic Blade. The Gray Gentleman, kneeling on one knee, had both arms broken, and a slash mark crossing his entire torso slowly emitted black-blue smoke.

The Gray Gentleman lay on his back on the ground. He looked at the cloudless sky and said, "It's really a good day to go on the road."

The Gray Gentleman spoke with a smile. The spirit in his eyes was fading rapidly. To a certain extent, Su Xiao was the Gray Gentleman's nemesis. The Magic Blade ability was very restraining to the Gray Gentleman's puppet core ability "Soul Body Reincarnation." Right now, both soul and consciousness were about to be slashed, and this ability naturally failed.

In the end, the Gray Gentleman's eyes completely lost their spirit, and his face still maintained a smile, without any fear of death, but accepting it calmly, just because he could afford to lose.

The Gray Gentleman died, slashed to death here by the last Law-Breaker of Shadow in history, the Eighth-Tier Hunter of the Reincarnation Paradise.

On the side, Su Xiao flicked the blood on the sword, and the long sword slowly returned to its sheath. After confirming that there were no other enemies in the surroundings, he sat on the ground. He was indeed seriously injured, and he started to feel lightheaded, having entered a dying state.

Fighting with the Gray Gentleman, Su Xiao could not recover his life value throughout the battle until the end. His life value recovery effect was reduced to only 1.75%. Drinking a bottle of 【Vitality Stock Solution】 recovered only 1.5% of his life value. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's recovery halo was like a fake.

【Prompt: You have killed the 120012th ultra-high-risk rule-breaker.】

【You have obtained a Scarlet Card (★★★★★★★★).】

【You have obtained Proof of Honor (with this proof, you can exchange for any item in the Honor Store, directly exchanging regardless of the item's price).】

Su Xiao, sitting near the Gray Gentleman's corpse, pulled out a blood-stained cigarette and lit it. He looked up at the sky, just like what the Gray Gentleman said just now, it was indeed a good day.

The Gray Gentleman, killed. ===== CHAPTER 3473 =====
