Chapter 3555: Dean's Mindset

On the giant skeleton, Dragon God Dean looked at Gulu a hundred meters away and the two middle fingers she raised, and for a moment, he didn't react to what was going on.

Although Gulu's strength as an assassination-type wasn't weak, she had a natural disadvantage against Su Xiao or the Dragon God. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been hunted down by the Dragon God last time.

At this moment, Gulu was so brave that it stunned Dragon God Dean for a moment. As long as there was nothing wrong with his brain, he would definitely think this was a trap, and Dean naturally thought of it.

"Idiot."

Gulu's little mouth was as sweet as if it had been smeared with honey, leaving behind such a sentence, and she turned and walked toward the buildings behind her.

Crack, crack, crack.

The Dragon God clenched his fist with one hand, and the air was gripped between his fingers as if it were solid, making a crackling sound. He was angered into laughter.

The Dragon God raised one hand, and his index finger with a claw tip pointed at Gulu. Scarlet appeared at his fingertip, and the ray that gathered would definitely pierce Gulu's skull.

Gulu didn't dodge or evade. For this attack that made her hair stand on end, she not only had the confidence to withstand it but could also carry out subsequent counter-measures. Of course, there was only one chance, and after completing this matter, she would have fulfilled the leader's commission and could find an opportunity to slip away.

However, when the scarlet light gathered to its strongest at the Dragon God's fingertip, it suddenly weakened and finally dissipated. He had already determined the general nature of this trap; the other party had some kind of item or prop that could counter the attack, just waiting for him to unleash this blow.

The Dragon God's golden-red energy appeared, and he suddenly disappeared from where he was. When he appeared the next instant, he was in front of Gulu. This was a trump card the Dragon God had hidden; he had spatial ability, and it was a spatial ability inclined toward combat.

Before Gulu could respond, the Dragon God pinched Gulu's neck with one hand. But just before his hand touched Gulu's neck, Gulu blurred as if she had a bad signal.

Slap!

The Dragon God pinched "Gulu's" neck. No, it should be that the Dragon God pinched Caesar's neck, and it was Caesar in the state of being one with the jar.

In this instant, the Dragon God's scalp went completely numb. The warning of his perception was like thousands of needles pricking his whole body. At this moment, he felt that what he was pinching was no longer just a person, but something more ancient, eerie, and dark. The weight of that darkness gave him a momentary sense of suffocation.

The Dragon God was a ruthless person. The moment his right hand pinched Caesar's neck, his left hand formed a hand blade and slashed toward his right upper arm. He didn't want this entire arm anymore.

Poof~

Like a broken cloth bag bursting, Caesar, who was pinched by the neck and lifted, exploded, turning into smoke.

Whoosh, a rapid sound of wind breaking appeared in the Dragon God's ears, followed by a sense of dark, chaotic spatial suction. When the world around him recovered, his left hand, which had formed a hand blade, suddenly stopped in front of his right upper arm.

This was the true face of the trap. The reason Su Xiao went to Fish Sister to pick up Gulu was to give the Dragon God a mandatory death-choice question.

After Gulu appeared, if the Dragon God attacked Gulu, he would be countered by a certain prop. This prop was handed to Gulu by the leader to repay the favor for that incident in the Dawn Paradise. As for what specific incident it was, Su Xiao didn't know either. The leader only said that when he invaded the Dawn Paradise many years ago, he left behind a hidden danger due to a certain mistake, which was later resolved by Su Xiao.

Attacking Gulu would be countered, and capturing Gulu would lead to the current situation. As for watching Gulu leave, with the Dragon God's pride, this was almost impossible.

The spatial fluctuations dissipated. The Dragon God looked around. At this moment, he was in an underground palace, with all kinds of talismans pasted on the walls.

The main door behind was wide open, but Dragon God Dean didn't launch a surprise attack outward. The reason was that under a sculpture on the inner side of the underground palace, a metal chair was placed here, and Su Xiao was sitting on it. His posture was relaxed, one hand pressing on the end of the hilt, and the other end of the sheathed Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan was pressed against the ground.

"Is this the grave you chose for me? Or your burial ground?"

Dean looked around the surroundings, seemingly quite satisfied with this place. In fact, he had always been prepared to fight Su Xiao one-on-one, but there had been no opportunity.

When he was in the High Wall City, Su Xiao was the director of the Healing Institute, with a bunch of subordinates, and was also one of the high-level members of the Healing Church.

And after coming to the Dead Silence City, the good teammate trio acted together and only separated after arriving in the inner city area.

Right now, Dean finally had the opportunity to fight Su Xiao one-on-one. To be honest, he had been in this world for so many days, and he wasn't afraid of fighting Su Xiao one-on-one. At this moment, his combat power was not something he could rival when he first entered this world. The suppression from this world had weakened significantly as the time he spent in this world extended.

However, the situation right now was not the one-on-one fight Dean had imagined. Su Xiao still had to fight the Choir, the last Wolf Knight, the first-generation Saintess, and the Sin Collection, and didn't have the energy to fight Dragon God Dean one-on-one.

With a tap, Su Xiao knocked on a protruding round stone on the ground with the sheathed Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. The next instant, the main door of the underground palace slammed shut.

Boom!

The sound of wind breaking rushed toward him. Su Xiao's black hair was blown up by the strong wind. He entered a state of spatial penetration, and Dean's dragon claws grabbed past his skull, failing to attack any solid entity.

A sense of spatial vibration came from above. It was Baja, located outside the underground palace and directly above, activating the Hawk Domain to seal the spatial ability of this place.

【Hawk Domain (Ultimate Skill, Growth-type, Lv. 48): Baja possesses six spatial feathers. When it fully "unfolds" its wings, all six spatial feathers will shatter, interrupting/blocking all Eighth-Tier spatial abilities within a 1000-meter radius. The effect lasts for 10 minutes.】

Space was sealed. Now, not only could Dean not use spatial ability, but even Su Xiao's spatial penetration was affected. At this moment, the process of him penetrating space would be magnified from entering the state of spatial penetration instantly to taking several seconds, and there would be various risks. It was highly likely that just as he penetrated space, he would be squeezed inside, suffering heavy injuries.

Within the Hawk Domain, Dean's brow was tightly locked. He didn't understand why Su Xiao wanted to do this. Comparing the spatial abilities of the two, Su Xiao's spatial penetration ability was clearly stronger in actual combat. This behavior was equivalent to weakening himself.

But immediately, Dean understood the situation and knew that the enemy didn't want to fight him one-on-one, but wanted to use this place to put him to death.

Because the exit was closed, the dead silence energy in the underground palace became increasingly dense, almost appearing as visible translucent gray mist. Not long after, it filled the entire building. Although dead silence energy permeated the Dead Silence City, the concentration wasn't this high.

"It seems you've already discovered it."

Dragon God Dean leaned forward slightly. The ground beneath his feet cracked. He made a move to launch a surprise attack forward, and because his speed was too fast, he suddenly disappeared from where he was. But the next instant, he appeared a few meters away, his figure even staggering a few steps.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at the pale Dean. With the density of dead silence energy in this place, launching a rapid assault in this place was no different from seeking death. He knew this point because the dead silence reward ability of the Black King Armguard had this characteristic.

【Dead Silence Descent: After activating this ability, the surrounding 600 meters will be rapidly assimilated by the Dead Silence City, causing erosion damage of 5% to 23% of the maximum health limit per second. If an enemy unit moves within the range covered by Dead Silence Descent, the erosion damage and erosion speed suffered will be significantly increased (erosion damage and erosion speed increased by 2 to 6 times, depending on the enemy's physical attribute and movement speed).】

Once, after Su Xiao activated Dead Silence Descent, he saw with his own eyes a contractor with high agility. With the other party's speed, it took only a little over 1 second for them to kill themselves.

At this moment, the concentration of dead silence energy in the underground palace exceeded "Dead Silence Descent" and also exceeded the average value in the Dead Silence City. In other words, the 5-level shelter effect brought by the 【Shelter Stone】 could no longer completely exempt the erosion of dead silence.

Not only that, the concentration of dead silence energy in the underground palace was still continuously increasing. At this moment, whether it was running out or launching an attack, it was very unwise. Launching medium-to-long-range attacks would inevitably lead to energy fluctuations, and in the dense dead silence energy, this would lead to more severe erosion.

To use a simple metaphor, if Su Xiao gathered a blood spear and attacked Dragon God Dean, even if Dean were hit by this blood spear, the damage Su Xiao suffered from being eroded by dead silence during the attack would certainly be higher than the damage caused to Dean by this attack.

Moreover, Su Xiao wouldn't give Dean the opportunity to attack him from a distance. He had always been guarding against that Origin-grade equipment of the other party.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the ground, and the alchemy array he had prepared in advance was activated. Transparent barriers half a meter thick appeared in the underground palace, separating Su Xiao and Dean while also firmly blocking the stone door of the exit.

With the erosion of dead silence energy, this alchemy array wouldn't last long, but it was enough. Or rather, this was bait. Dragon God Dean choosing to destroy these barriers would only lead to him dying faster due to his own energy fluctuations leading to more rapid erosion by dead silence.

Separated by a transparent barrier half a meter thick, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground. The Black King Armguard + Shelter Stone gave him about 6 levels of shelter effect. In a situation where neither drank recovery potions, he would certainly be the one to persist longer.

Opposite, Dean already knew the danger of this place. He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at Su Xiao. Just as the scarlet light gathered at his fingertip, he spat out a large mouthful of golden-red blood.

After catching his breath, Dean walked to the barrier step by step and slammed a punch onto it. Large cracks appeared on the barrier.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Dean coughed repeatedly. His hair tips began to turn gray and weather, and his skin also became dry. Noticing this, Dean took out a golden bean and tossed it into his mouth, and his condition immediately improved.

By now, Dean had completely seen through the situation. Although this place was a dangerous trap, this danger was not only borne by himself; the enemy opposite was also bearing an equal amount of risk.

Rather than saying this place was a trap, it was more like a contest. It wasn't a contest of combat power, but a contest of financial resources. Being in this environment where heavy mechanisms had been set up, the more one probed around, the more severely one would be calculated against. Conversely, wearing the enemy to death first and then breaking the trap to leave this place was the safest choice.

As for breaking the traps of this place in front of the enemy, Dean just had this thought and dismissed it in his mind. The Hunter opposite must have set up all kinds of follow-up moves.

Thinking of this, Dean sat down on the ground. The situation entered the stage of comparing potions, and it depended on who brought more recovery potions.

In terms of recovery potions, Su Xiao's storage space currently had 137 bottles of 【Vitality Stock Solution】. Competing with an alchemist on the number of recovery items carried was unwise.

However, with Dragon God Dean's financial resources, he certainly had quite a few recovery items in his storage space. The fact was indeed so. Dean took out a few bottles of potions, and after flicking the wooden stopper of the crystal bottle with his thumb, he didn't drink the potion immediately.

Opposite the barrier, Su Xiao took out a bottle of 【Vitality Stock Solution】, uncorked it, and drank it. Seeing this, Dean opposite also drank the potion in his hand.

"I brought dozens of bottles of this kind of recovery potion."

Dean spoke. The taste of being eroded by dead silence was not good. If it were someone with weak willpower, they would definitely be wailing in extreme pain all over their body at this time, but Dean's expression didn't change.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, but he spat out the 【Vitality Stock Solution】 he had just drunk. This place was permeated with "Ethyl-Boiling Active Gas." Drinking recovery potions in this environment was no different from drinking potent poison.

Seeing Su Xiao spit out the potion he had just drunk, Dean opposite already knew that things were not looking good. Whether it was the increase in the concentration of dead silence energy in this place, the spatial sealing of the Hawk Domain, or the barrier generated by the array, or the comparison of potion inventory, they were all deliberately shown to Dean.

From beginning to end, Su Xiao's purpose was to make Dean drink a recovery potion of sufficient quality in this place. This medicine would turn into potent poison, and combined with the erosion of dead silence energy, even if Dean were the strongest Eighth-Tier contractor of the Apocalypse Paradise, he would have to die.

Dean let out a "wah" sound, spitting out a large amount of fresh blood from his mouth, which also contained fragments of organs such as his stomach and liver. The amount of blood he spat out was so large that it formed a puddle with a diameter of 2 meters.

"You..."

Dean wanted to get up, but felt a wave of dizziness, and spat out another huge amount of fresh blood. He was completely stunned, not understanding what kind of potent poison this was that could poison him, a Ninth-Tier contractor, into such a state.

"Blood debt must be paid in blood. You killed my brother in the Phantom Water World. This matter, it's not over... wah!"

Dean spat out another large mouthful of fresh blood. Hearing this, Su Xiao's brow furrowed. He had been to dozens of mission worlds, but he was certain that he had absolutely never been to the Phantom Water World, and he hadn't even heard of this world.

A thought appeared in Su Xiao's heart: could this guy named Dragon God Dean have sought revenge on the wrong person?

If this matter were true, the drastic change in mindset could significantly accelerate the sudden death of the enemy opposite, so Su Xiao said:

"It's a pity, I've never been to the Phantom Water World."

While Su Xiao was speaking, the adventure group's ultimate ability had already been triggered, and his health was gradually recovering.

Hearing this, Dean sneered. He stared fixedly at Su Xiao's eyes. A few seconds later, he couldn't sneer anymore. No matter how he looked at it, in this situation, Su Xiao had no need to deny having been to the Phantom Water World or having killed Dragon God Dean's brother.

An unacceptable reality emerged, but Dean immediately denied this conjecture. Through various methods, he had confirmed that it was Su Xiao who killed his younger brother. His brother was no small fry; he had talent, perseverance, and the financial resources Dean provided. At the scene, they could retrieve retrospective imagery, there were Apocalypse Paradise contractors who witnessed the slaughter, and the feedback from several items all pointed to one conclusion without exception: Su Xiao killed the Dragon God's brother.

"Oh, is it the Gray Gentleman?"

Su Xiao figured out what was going on. Right now, Dragon God Dean had come to seek revenge, clearly having been calculated by the Gray Gentleman. Although the Gray Gentleman was already dead, this should have been something that happened several world progress stages ago.

This matter must have happened before the Tree Life World started. At that time, both Su Xiao and the Gray Gentleman hoped that the other party would die before entering the Tree Life World. Framing someone like this was clearly a good way.

The fact was indeed so. Dragon God Dean's younger brother was killed by the Gray Gentleman, and afterward, he and the Priest staged the scene.

Those two old schemers could do this, which was not surprising. Especially since the Gray Gentleman had already obtained various permissions from the Dawn Paradise at that time.

At that time, this situation was very fatal. That was when Su Xiao was one step away from reaching Eighth-Tier top combat power.

Dragon God Dean learned that his own younger brother had died tragically, with his head cut off and hung up. He immediately investigated the matter. It didn't take much effort for him to lock onto one person: Samsara Paradise Hunter, Head-Severing Night. Afterward, he confirmed it multiple times, and Dean launched a retaliation.

Although Dean was called the strongest Eighth-Tier contractor of the Apocalypse Paradise, that was actually a thing of the past. He had already advanced to the Ninth Tier, but in order to eliminate Su Xiao, he was willing to use rare permissions to enter an Eighth-Tier world under the condition of partial suppression of his strength to get rid of Su Xiao.

Although Dean couldn't track Su Xiao, he tracked Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. However, Dean's first round of retaliation was stifled because Su Xiao entered the Painting World. Dean himself was entering an Eighth-Tier world under the condition of self-sealing combat power. He had no possibility of entering the Painting World. That was a special battle for supremacy conducted by representatives from various Paradise factions and Void major forces.

The first round of revenge was directly stifled. Dean didn't find food tasty anymore, sex with women wasn't that enjoyable, and drinking had a strange taste. In short, everything was unpleasant. At that time, Dean's thought was: "You kid, just wait for me until you enter a conventional native world."

In this anticipation of Dean's, Su Xiao entered the Ser Star. That time, he was representing the Samsara Paradise to conduct a world invasion, and under the premise of world invasion, he fought a world supremacy battle.

With Dean's situation, once the two highest-priority events of world invasion + world supremacy battle appeared, even if he exhausted his resources, he couldn't enter the Ser Star.

The second time he was thwarted, Dean was even more depressed, his anger rising. His thought was: "If you have the ability, just keep entering these kinds of high-permission Eighth-Tier worlds."

It seemed that he had heard Dean's anticipation. After Su Xiao left the Ser Star, in the next world progress, he entered the Tree Life World.

The Tree Life World was independently certified by the Void Tree, and every contractor, Hunter, Combat Angel, etc., could only enter it once in their lifetime. Dean had been there, so naturally, he couldn't enter again, so he was thwarted for the third time. He almost vomited at the time.

However, Dragon God Dean, as a Ninth-Tier contractor, was very patient. He experienced world progress normally and waited until the new world progress started. Dean's thought at the time was: "Dog thief! If you have the ability, enter another special Eighth-Tier world for me to see."

It seemed that he had heard Dean's anticipation again. Su Xiao entered the Pan Duola Star with 【Nightmare's Beginning】, the world invaded by the Netherworld.

After tracking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang failed again, Dragon God Dean almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He almost wanted to know what kind of ghost worlds the Samsara Paradise Hunter was going to. Couldn't he go to a normal native world, go to a more "human" world?

It seemed that he had heard Dean's anticipation once again. Su Xiao entered the Gloom Continent. After tracking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang successfully, Dean's hands trembled with excitement.

Precisely because of this, when this world just started, Dean came to the door. Originally, Dean's thought was: "An Eighth-Tier Hunter, even if strong, has a limit."

But after truly fighting, Dean's thought was: "Holy crap! Is this guy Eighth-Tier? Ninth-Tier lower-middle-level contractors can't even fight this guy."

After four world progress stages of bitter tracking, after truly hunting him down, the result was that he couldn't beat him. Dean almost cracked, especially the subsequent treatment of soul injuries, which cost him 100,000 Soul Coins.

What was even more pit-like was that the doctor was a fake, and there was soul poison in the potion he gave him. He had to pay a great price to remove this soul poison.

And right now, after Dean had been in this world for a period of time, his suppressed combat power had significantly improved. Just when he was prepared to fight Su Xiao to the death in the Dead Silence City to solve this enemy, he learned that he had been looking for the wrong person all along. This was a trap set by the Gray Gentleman, whose purpose was to eliminate Head-Severing Night.

"Poof!"

Dean spat out another large mouthful of fresh blood. He pointed at Su Xiao with trembling hands, his lips opening and closing, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

What made Dean's mindset explode even more was that the Gray Gentleman was already dead. In other words, he had been arranged clearly by a dead rule-breaker.

"ROAR!!!"

Dean roared and half-dragonized. The golden-red scales on his body stood up. This was from being angered. Not only that, but deep blue chains wrapped around his body appeared, and then these chains quickly shattered. A powerful aura and pressure erupted from Dean's body.

The moment Dean's combat power returned to its peak, with a boom, a repulsive force blasted him into the spatial gap, and afterward, he was repelled from this world.

At the position where Dean disappeared, several items fell, and then, Soul Coins sprayed out from thin air. This was the 35,000 Soul Coins Dean had paid to the Void Tree as a deposit for entering a world one tier lower.

At this moment, in the judgment of the Void Tree, Su Xiao had driven Dean out, and this deposit naturally became Su Xiao's spoils of war.

Besides these Soul Coins, the several items that fell to the ground were Dean's gains in this world. Because he entered in a special way, he only had these gains after entering the Dead Silence City.

Su Xiao first destroyed the alchemy array, then opened the entrance to the underground palace through the mechanism inside the sculpture, allowing the concentration of dead silence energy in this place to gradually decrease. More importantly, he let all the "Ethyl-Boiling Active Gas" out, so he could drink recovery potions then.

A moment later, after detecting that there was no "Ethyl-Boiling Active Gas" in the air, Su Xiao took out a bottle of 【Vitality Stock Solution】 and drank it. His health recovered rapidly, and the discomfort caused by the erosion of dead silence throughout his body also disappeared.

Su Xiao finally knew why he felt Dragon God Dean had a sense of disharmony, and that it was a very correct choice that he had always not fought Dragon God Dean head-on.

Speaking of which, it was a pity. If Dragon God Dean had been able to enter the Ser Star before, or enter the Pan Duola Star, it would have been even more lively.

In the Ser Star, Su Xiao had hundreds of thousands of wild boar knight legions, and the pig-headed people who believed in the sun would definitely welcome Dragon God Dean warmly. In that situation, a Ninth-Tier contractor whose strength was suppressed to the Eighth-Tier top level really couldn't make any waves.

As for the Pan Duola Star, Su Xiao was developing the Zerg there. Not to mention anything else, at the stage where Su Xiao had developed, even if Dragon God Dean's strength hadn't been suppressed, he would have had to die there. That was an endless Zerg legion. Dragon God Dean could fight ten thousand with one, fight a hundred thousand with one, but what about several hundred thousand Zerg legions? Understand the plasma cannon rain of the Titan beasts.

Su Xiao put away the Soul Coins piled on the ground. One by one, the Soul Coins flew up and sank into his storage space. After collecting 25,000, he stopped, leaving 10,000.

In this matter, although Caesar didn't contribute much, he provided information and brought Dragon God Dean to this place. Giving 10,000 Soul Coins as a share wasn't much, so Su Xiao placed an Immortal-grade gemstone on the pile of Soul Coins.

"My dear friend, how could I be so embarrassed? I didn't do anything."

Caesar appeared out of nowhere. While saying this, the Soul Coins and gemstones on the ground had already been collected cleanly by him.

The artifacts Su Xiao obtained were three pieces: a 30-centimeter-high sculpture of the God of Immortality, whose specific function was unknown. This item could not be taken out of this world.

There was also a black tree seed. The more Su Xiao looked at this thing, the more familiar it seemed, and he then remembered that wasn't this the 【Pitch-Black Seed】 he had obtained after killing the Twisted Armor in the previous world?

Before, he had used this thing to pose for a photo when he activated Dead Silence Descent in his exclusive room, which led to this thing being taken away by the Dead. Now it had actually been brought back. What a wonderful fate.

It was just that this thing had been eroded by dead silence energy and could no longer be used, at most serving as a souvenir.

The last item was a sealed old glass bottle. The bottle body was bald, and the mouth was sealed with an amber-like resin.

【You have obtained 519.5 ounces of Space-Time Power.】

【Warning: This sealed bottle cannot be opened at will, otherwise it will lead to a large loss of the Space-Time Power inside. You need to pay a certain fee after returning to the Samsara Paradise to transfer the Space-Time Power from the sealed bottle.】

【Prompt: The fee is 10% of the transferred Space-Time Power.】

Seeing this thing, Su Xiao felt once again that there were numerous opportunities in the Dead Silence City. He didn't know where in the Dead Silence City Dean had found this treasure.

Caesar, standing to the side, had his eyes straight. Seeing this, Su Xiao said, "Split half with you?"

Hearing this, Caesar felt uncomfortable, his heart itching. He said uncomfortably, "No, no, I didn't contribute that much, so I shouldn't share so many benefits."

Leaving this sentence behind, Caesar walked out with a heart like a knife cutting. He actually couldn't bear to part with it, but in their long-term cooperation, it had always been "share benefits according to how much effort you put in." Caesar was greedy, that was true, but he knew well that "long-flowing water" was the only way to keep getting benefits. This was a better way to satisfy his greed.

Su Xiao didn't leave the underground palace for the time being but sat down to rest. He didn't know what kind of expression the other party would have when he encountered Dragon God Dean in a Ninth-Tier world in the future. As for Dean's revenge, it could completely rank in the top ten, no, top five, of the "Apocalypse Paradise Annual Cerebral Hemorrhage Event List."

Three hours later, Su Xiao's condition recovered. He took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja out of the underground palace and headed straight for the "Saint Ten Cathedral" on the west side.

The Dead encountered along the way were significantly reduced. Su Xiao avoided these Dead and followed the side street all the way to a spacious long street engraved with patterns.

This long street was about half a kilometer long. On both sides were church knights wearing full-body heavy armor, holding large shields and cone spears.

There were no Dead in this place precisely because of the existence of these church knights. Although they were being eroded by dead silence, they were still alive.

Su Xiao wouldn't be too surprised by the existence of a few immortals, but these hundreds of church knights were all immortals who had lived from the Age of Gods to the present. This was unbelievable. Could it really be as the rumors in the High Wall City said, that as long as one believed in the God of Immortality, one could be immortal? This immortality came too easily.

After scouting from afar, Su Xiao discovered that the combat power of these church knights was no worse than the Dead in the inner city area, and some were even stronger than the Dead.

The problem right now was that there were two major factions of church knights standing on both sides of the long street, and at the end of the long street, after climbing a dozen steps, was the "Saint Ten Cathedral."

That magnificent cathedral was also guarded by numerous church knights. It seemed there was no other way besides killing their way through the long street.

Su Xiao's thought was: how did the Chosen Ones of the past get to the "Saint Ten Cathedral" to challenge the Choir? Kill their way in? This wasn't realistic. Moreover, if someone had killed their way in before, the church knights here would have been killed off long ago.

Thinking of this, to the astonishment of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja, Su Xiao walked out from his hiding place and walked openly toward the long street.

Gazes that made one's back feel cold gathered. A crowd of church knights cast their gazes. When they noticed the Black King Armguard Su Xiao was wearing, although they had hostility, they didn't rush up.

Under the hostile and cold gazes of the church knights, Su Xiao walked along the long street, stepped over the steps, and stopped in front of the main entrance of the Saint Ten Cathedral.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to push the door, the giant metal door clanged open. He walked into the Saint Ten Cathedral and found that the layout here was cylindrical, about a thousand square meters in size. In the middle of the front wall, there were five platforms several meters high. Five figures stood on them. They were wearing armor that was a mix of metal and fabric, with slender but powerful figures.

With a boom, the metal gate behind was lowered, sealing the "Saint Ten Cathedral." The five figures in front gripped their respective weapons and jumped down from the stone platforms with heavy or light postures, standing one after another, covering each other.

This was the combat force of the Healing Church, the Choir. To be precise, up to now, no Chosen One had truly defeated them. At most, they had earned their recognition and temporarily taken away the Source Stone.

The Choir's abilities were nearly unsolvable when they faced a single strong individual. However, this time, they had encountered their ultimate nemesis. ===== CHAPTER 3556 =====

The abilities of the Choir are nearly unsolvable when they face a lone powerhouse; however, this time they encountered their ultimate nemesis.
