Chapter 3559: Wolf Knight Captain

The group left the Cathedral and headed toward the east side. The Cathedral was not far from the Wolf Tomb, closer than it was to the Saint Ten Church.

The reason Su Xiao went to the Saint Ten Church first was to find the Moonlight Maid. With a healer in the Cathedral, he naturally felt more confident when fighting strong enemies. Even if he were heavily injured and near death after a pyrrhic victory, he could quickly recover his state afterward, not losing the qualification to explore the Dead City.

Although he didn't find the Moonlight Maid, he found the Gray Maid. In all fairness, if he could choose between the two, Su Xiao would choose the Gray Maid; this could save a lot of worries.

Walking on the side street, Su Xiao looked into the distance. Near the center of the inner city, a cylindrical black high tower stood there. Compared to other high towers in the inner city area, this high tower could be described as standing out from the crowd, with a height of at least 150 meters or more.

Even from a long distance, Su Xiao could still perceive the sense of crisis emanating from this "Main Tower," as if he were being locked onto from afar by something, but there was no direct malice.

This Main Tower was the dividing line of the inner city area. Past this dividing line was the second half, where the "Treatment Center," "Land of Filth," "Hall of Atonement," and "Supreme Sanctuary" were all located.

Su Xiao was in the first half at this time. The existence inside the Main Tower did not attack him from afar, but he was not sure if the existence inside the Main Tower would be enraged once he stepped into the second half.

After settling the score with the Wolf Knight and surviving, he would first ascend the Main Tower to see the situation at the top, and then head toward the second half.

For Su Xiao, there were six important places in the entire inner city area, which were: Cathedral, Saint Ten Church, Wolf Tomb, Land of Filth, Hall of Atonement, and Supreme Sanctuary.

The Cathedral was a safe area, and the Saint Ten Church and Wolf Tomb went without saying. The focus was on the latter three places.

The Land of Filth was the location of the First Saintess, the Hall of Atonement was the lair of the Sin Agglomeration, and the final Supreme Sanctuary was the deepest part of the Dead City and also the place to make a clean break with the Dead Silence.

If possible, Su Xiao would go to the Land of Filth and the Hall of Atonement first, rather than fighting the Wolf Knight to the death now. The problem was that the concentration of Dead Silence energy in the Land of Filth and the Hall of Atonement was very high.

According to what Su Xiao knew, one needed at least a level 8 or higher shelter effect to safely enter the Land of Filth, and the Hall of Atonement required a shelter effect of level 10–12 to step into.

The most exaggerated was the Supreme Sanctuary. Based on the situation described by the Archbishop, Su Xiao estimated that one needed at least a level 40 or higher shelter effect to safely enter this place.

All along, Su Xiao did not have the habit of thinking he was the chosen one, or thinking that if others couldn't do it, he definitely could. In his view, the Chosen Ones who came to the Dead City in the past were all not simple characters. Those people were either the strongest of their era, leaders, or heroes, or they were Children of the World who could shoulder heavy responsibilities and act decisively or even extremely.

These people became Chosen Ones, and after arriving at the Dead City, without exception, they all failed. More importantly, old Church members like the Archbishop, Holy Priest, Old Monster, and Iron Apostle had all been Chosen Ones.

Looking at it from another perspective, the Saint Song Troupe and the Wolf Knight team might have also been Chosen Ones initially. They were defeated miserably but survived and made different choices than the Archbishop and others. They didn't leave the Dead City but stayed here to become the trial for the Chosen Ones.

Even the First Saintess might have been a Chosen One in the past. In High Wall City, although the Saintess lineage still had status, its reputation had always been bad, especially the First Saintess.

If it weren't for the fact that the Saintess lineage was the descendant of the Holy Priest, the outcome would definitely not have been good. As the founder of the Saintess lineage, the First Saintess was even recorded by the "Stigma Academy" as attempting to pursue immortality.

After that, the "Stigma Academy" imprisoned the First Saintess and sealed the entrance to the Dead City with her secondary divine blood.

After Su Xiao arrived at the Dead City's inner city and understood the situation here, he found that the dirty water the "Stigma Academy" splashed on the First Saintess was simply absurd.

In the Dead City, immortality didn't need to be plotted at all. Not to mention the high-ranking members of the old Church, which of the Church Knights, Dead People, Tree Eaters, etc., didn't have immortality characteristics? Immortality here didn't need to be pursued; instead, it was rampant, making people feel cold.

Even more intriguing was that there were many strong people on the Dark Continent, but there were very few divine existences here. There were only the God of Immortality and the God of Sin. The God of Sin was brought in by the academic faction; otherwise, there would only be the God of Immortality.

The First Saintess possessed secondary divine blood, which was something even the academic faction admitted. In other words, the First Saintess was a demigod.

Ever since the demigod First Saintess fell silent, the Chosen One faction had been almost pressed into the ground, and no new Chosen Ones had appeared for hundreds of years.

In this way, the status of the First Saintess could not be measured within the Healing Church. As for strength, as a demigod, she might be the strongest existence among the four powerhouses of the Dead City.

It was true that the Saint Song Troupe and the Wolf Knights were the combat strength of the Healing Church, but the First Saintess might have been able to rank in the top three of the entire Dark Continent in the divine era, exceeding the two combat strengths of the Healing Church.

Things that even a demigod like the First Saintess couldn't achieve—the potential risks and difficulties were definitely not as simple as they looked. If he continued to walk the old path of other Chosen Ones, Su Xiao would very likely also end his performance here.

Su Xiao temporarily had a goal, which was that before heading to the "Supreme Sanctuary," he must figure out the secrets of "Dead Silence Energy," "Source," and "Source Stone."

While thinking, Su Xiao had already arrived in the area where the Wolf Tomb was located. He could clearly feel that the natural light around him was brighter, and cracks were everywhere on the walls and ground. A full moon hung in the gray sky. The moonlight was no longer bright, but it still made the place brighter.

The further he went, the more corpses and bones there were around. In the end, the street was paved with skeletons. These skeletons were mostly Dead People or Tree Eaters, and what killed them was a heavy and sharp weapon.

It was hard to imagine how many Dead People had attacked back then, and how powerful the Wolf Knights guarding this place must have been to block such a number of Dead People and Tree Eaters.

The further Gulu walked behind Su Xiao, the more she regretted it. Seeing such a number of Dead People skeletons, she naturally guessed that the Wolf Knights were not to be trifled with, but finding an excuse to slip away had never been her style. Since things had come to this, she could only bite the bullet and continue moving forward.

Past the street paved with skeletons, the building complex came to an abrupt end. A circular high wall made of white bones appeared ahead. The white bones forming this circular high wall had already turned from their original white to pitch black, and a wet, cold substance like sludge filled the gaps between the bones.

This circular high wall was about ten meters high. Upon reaching this place, Su Xiao already had a sense of familiarity. He walked into it from the only gap in the circular high wall.

The scene that met his eyes was empty. On this circular field of over a thousand square meters, there were patches of black marks everywhere. Upon reaching this place, the aura of the Abyss had already rushed toward him. Fortunately, this was an Abyss remnant, not a direct invasion of the Abyss.

On the open space surrounded by the circular high wall, a tall tomb was located in the center. In front of the tomb was a stone tablet several meters high, engraved with ancient characters from the divine era. To be precise, this was both the "Wolf Tomb" and not.

Under this stone tablet covered with black erosion marks, a figure wearing full armor sat there. Although he was wearing full armor, this meticulously crafted armor didn't look clumsy but had a unique, powerful aesthetic.

It could be seen that this armor originally symbolized the silver of moonlight, but due to the erosion of the Abyss, it now showed silver-black, and the surface was uneven.

This was precisely the last Wolf Knight. He sat there with his head hanging, a great sword inserted in front of him. The great sword had also been eroded by Abyss energy until it was pitted, and the source stone Su Xiao was looking for was embedded at the end of the hilt.

Su Xiao stopped more than ten meters in front of the stone tablet. After seeing this Wolf Knight who inherited the power of the Silver Moon Wolf, he knew some things. The most critical one was the mission of the Silver Moon Wolves, or rather, their pursuit.

If Law-Extinguishers were Element Monitors, they could also be called Element Guardians, then the Silver Moon Wolves were the Monitors of the Abyss. Any world currently being invaded by the Abyss was a place they had to go.

Previously on the Alliance Star, Su Xiao had seen a Silver Moon Wolf. When he saw the other, the other had already been severely eroded by the Abyss.

The reason that Silver Moon Wolf ended up in such a state was that it couldn't close the Abyss channel that appeared in that world and could only suppress it with its own body. Over time, it was eroded by the Abyss.

This reminded Su Xiao of one thing: the origin of the Law-Extinguishing faction's Black Maple Tree was because they opened an Abyss channel and obtained the Black Maple Tree seeds.

If the previous generation of Law-Extinguishers could open a channel to the Abyss, then they must also be able to close it. Thinking about it this way, many things could be explained.

For example, the Abyss, which all worlds avoided, was something Void major factions dared to actively open Abyss channels for, because Law-Extinguishers had the ability to close these channels. Later, when the Arcane Eternal Star opened an Abyss channel, it was highly likely they had stolen this method.

Following this line of thought, Su Xiao seemed to know why the spellcasters of the Void dared to swallow elemental power so unscrupulously without worrying about the imbalance of natural elements leading to the Abyss invading the Void.

Su Xiao never thought his enemies would be fools. Now it seemed that the spellcasters' act of swallowing natural elements had highly likely already led to the appearance of Abyss channels within the Void, but before the Abyss energy could invade, those channels were closed by the spellcasters. This was what made them fearless in continuing to swallow natural elemental power.

Looking at it from another angle, how was this not drinking poison to quench thirst? Constantly swallowing natural elements would lead to Abyss channels appearing at random locations within the Void, and each time they would be larger and harder to close than the last.

When the day truly came that the spellcasters couldn't close those huge Abyss channels, what awaited the Void was the invasion of vast Abyss energy. By then, because the Abyss channels were too large, even preliminary resistance would be difficult.

Undoubtedly, the spellcasters knew this, but why did they continue to swallow natural elements? The reason was simple: the spellcasters' power originated from this. Previously in High Wall City, a hundred spellcasters stunned the siege team that gathered 90% of High Wall City's combat strength. That wasn't a problem of not being able to beat them, but of not being able to fight at all.

Such power—would the spellcasters really give it up? Or rather, did they dare to give it up? They had been the strongest overlords of the Void for so many years, and the enemies hiding in the dark that they couldn't clear out were so many that they couldn't even count them themselves.

If the Arcane Eternal Star showed slight weakness, the first to strike them wouldn't be those enemies, but major Void factions like the Demon race, Feather race, and Star race.

Therefore, the attitude of the Arcane Eternal Star was very clear: stopping the swallowing of elemental power was impossible. Even when the moment of Abyss invasion truly arrived, they wouldn't stop.

The previous generation of Law-Extinguishers could close Abyss channels, and later this method was obtained by the Arcane Eternal Star, indicating that this method was highly likely related to natural elements.

There was no friendship without reason in this world. When Law-Extinguishers and Silver Moon Wolves collaborated, the reason lay here. The Silver Moon Wolves fought the Abyss for generations, but they were alone. After allying with Law-Extinguishers, they truly became Monitors of the Abyss.

Law-Extinguishers helped Silver Moon Wolves close the Abyss channels they discovered, and Silver Moon Wolves helped Law-Extinguishers track Old Gods, enemies who swallowed elements, etc. Thus, the two sides formally allied.

However, initially, the previous generation of Law-Extinguishers didn't have good intentions. When they saw the Silver Moon Wolves, their first thought was that these big dogs could be ridden. The reason they didn't ride them later was mainly because the Silver Moon Wolves would be particularly unhappy after being ridden. If their mood was slightly bad, they would turn their heads and take a bite at the Law-Extinguisher on their back, specifically biting the calves, biting right to the bone, which was particularly ruthless.

If one looked at the calves of those first few generations of Law-Extinguishers, there were basically many tooth marks from Silver Moon Wolves. Afterward, they didn't dare to ride them anymore; that was a real bite. Later, after the two sides collaborated for a long time, they signed a blood oath.

At this moment, the Wolf Knight more than ten meters in front of Su Xiao was the one who inherited the power of the Silver Moon Wolf, and even inherited the wolf blood. This was also the reason why Su Xiao's subordinate, Ms. Marina, had trace amounts of wolf blood in her body earlier.

If the establishment of the Saint Song Troupe was because of resisting Dead Silence, then the establishment of the Wolf Knight team was to guard the Abyss channel here. That's right, the huge tomb behind this Wolf Knight was a cover; the Abyss channel sealed inside was the key point. Because there was no way to completely close the Abyss channel, it led to the surroundings becoming this state.

Behind, Gulu at the entrance of the circular high wall discovered that Su Xiao had already arrived in front of the Wolf Tomb. She stepped in. The moment she stepped into this place, the Wolf Knight under the stone tablet opened his eyes.

Wisps of black smoke drifted from this Wolf Knight. As he stood up from the ground, he grabbed the great sword with one hand.

"Roar!!"

This Wolf Knight let out a roar like a beast. Nearly two meters tall, the tattered cloak on his back flew up. It could only be said that it was fortunate that this Wolf Knight Captain had no sanity.

The Saint Song Troupe and the Wolf Knights were equally famous because their status within the Healing Church was similar, not because their overall strength was similar. The Wolf Knight team usually had 15 members, one of whom was the captain.

In a one-on-one, the Wolf Knight Captain could completely crush any member of the Saint Song Troupe. Only after the thirty members of the Saint Song Troupe aggregated into one could they fight the captain.

At present, other members had died, leaving only the captain. Compared to other strong people in the Dead City, he was not only eroded by Dead Silence but also invaded by the Abyss at all times.

At the entrance of the circular wall, Gulu looked at the Wolf Knight Captain in front of the stone tablet. She felt her heartbeat slow down by half a beat, and her scalp went completely numb. The last time she had this feeling was when she went to the Abyss Dragon Bottom in the Void.

Pfft!

Blood beads splashed. Gulu only felt her chest and abdomen go cold, followed by erosive pain. Not only that, but her body was also uncontrollably lifted.

The Wolf Knight Captain, who had just been in front of the stone tablet, was now in front of Gulu. He held the great sword with one hand, pierced Gulu's abdomen with the great sword, and lifted her up with it.

This was not because Gulu was unlucky. Because of the blood oath between Law-Extinguishers and Silver Moon Wolves, although the Wolf Knight Captain was eroded by the Abyss to the point of having no sanity, in his perception, Su Xiao was not entirely an enemy.

This was also why Su Xiao had been more than ten meters in front of the Wolf Knight earlier but nothing happened, while Gulu in the distance had just stepped into the range of the circular wall and startled the Wolf Knight.

"Cough, cough~"

Gulu felt her entire body go limp, blood dripping down from her chin. She had a feeling that she was going to die right here. To be taken out in seconds just as the battle began gave her a sense of unreality.

Just as Gulu was preparing to use a life-saving method to escape, an irresistible force struck. It was the Wolf Knight stabbing the great sword in his hand toward the ground.

Boom!

The ground exploded, and black-blue liquid splashed. Gulu's body inside was semi-transparent, and the pendant on her neck shattered rapidly.

Gulu landed in a half-squatting posture. After sliding backward for a distance while plowing the ground, she covered her side abdomen with one hand. The wound on her abdomen was already very serious, showing a black-blue color, and it was still eroding toward the surroundings.

"Bai Ye, you block him, I'll take the opportunity..."

Gulu's words were only half spoken when she discovered that on the open field, only she and the Wolf Knight Captain were left. If an outsider came here, they would think she was fighting the Wolf Knight Captain one-on-one.

At this moment, several scenes appeared in Gulu's mind in succession. First was the scene when she just entered the Dead City, Su Xiao met Zui Yasi, and then decisively retreated into the building and closed the door. That teammate-selling was both natural and smooth.

"This... uncle, I said I came to pay tribute to the Moon Wolf, do you believe me?"

Gulu tried to communicate with the Wolf Knight. Answering her was the Wolf Knight's great sword.

With a whoosh, the sound of wind breaking came toward her face. Gulu immediately leaped backward while hiding.

Bang!

The Wolf Knight's left hand, wrapped in metal bracers, punched out of thin air, blasting Gulu, who was trying to hide, out.

"Extreme Sharp Blade."

Gulu, who was leaping backward, put her hands together. The dozen or so short blades hidden all over her body flew out, fused together in an instant, and turned into a strong light, stabbing toward the Wolf Knight's head.

With a crunch! The strong light suddenly extinguished. Gulu's ultimate ability was pinched by the Wolf Knight with his bare hands, and then crushed with a crunch.

Witnessing this scene, Gulu almost left this beautiful world. Those were 3 Immortal-grade short blades + 8 Saint Spirit-grade short blades, and all were high-strengthened weapons.

It is often said that ultimate moves are just "scraping," but in Gulu's current situation, she didn't even manage to scrape anything; her ultimate ability was crushed by the enemy with their bare hands.

"Gulu, well done."

Baja appeared, black mist drifting from its body. This was clearly from a place where Abyss energy was dense.

In fighting strong enemies, Su Xiao had never had the habit of selling teammates. He had just passed through Baja's different space and gone into the tall tomb in the center of the field.

Su Xiao hadn't dealt with a Wolf Knight eroded by the Abyss, but he had dealt with a Moon Wolf eroded by the Abyss. Plus, in the last world, he had a death battle with the Nether Emperor, who was also a powerhouse eroded by the Abyss.

In fighting Abyss powerhouses, the first point was to cut off the connection between the other and the Abyss channel; otherwise, there would truly be a situation where the other couldn't be killed.

Just now, after Su Xiao arrived at the underground tomb, he saw the sealed Abyss channel. His solution was to break open a part of this seal from the outside and throw the "Ancient Mask" in.

For the "Ancient Mask," Abyss energy was what it craved most. It absorbed a large amount of Abyss energy, naturally cutting off the connection between the Abyss channel and the Wolf Knight Captain.

How the Wolf Knights of hundreds of years ago tested the Chosen Ones, Su Xiao didn't know, but the current Wolf Knight Captain was definitely not a trial for Chosen Ones. Having lost his sanity, he would kill all living beings within his sight.

Su Xiao had already confirmed one thing: the duration of this battle would not be long. The battle would end within 10 minutes; otherwise, this would be his burial place. The enemy's attack capability was so powerful that it was unreasonable.

Just now, the Wolf Knight's sword, because it hit a secondary vital point, stabbed and exploded Gulu's three life-saving rings. Although the assassin-type's small physique wasn't very good, one sword instantly killing Gulu two and a half times back and forth was too exaggerated. Otherwise, Gulu wouldn't have been scared into saying that "I came to pay tribute to the Moon Wolf."

Although he couldn't detect the enemy's data, Su Xiao basically confirmed that the enemy's development method was similar to his own: stacking passives, while active abilities were basically dash + ultimate move.

Su Xiao raised his hand to signal Gulu, who was diagonally behind, to retreat. She could find an opportunity later, no need to fight the enemy head-on.

Seeing this, Gulu, whose heart was dripping blood, took out a spare weapon and entered a hidden state.

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand pointed diagonally at the ground. He stared at the strong enemy opposite him. The sense of death rushing toward him, as well as the pressure of the enemy's blade, made Su Xiao feel as if his hot blood was gradually boiling. He unbuttoned his long trench coat.

Even though the Night of Wild Hunt was an Immortal-grade +10 defensive equipment, under the Wolf Knight's sword, Immortal-grade leather armor was just a piece of paper, and +10 reinforcement was equivalent to paper stacked together.

Throwing the Night of Wild Hunt aside, Su Xiao walked toward the Wolf Knight step by step. But in the next second, he felt black-blue pressure rushing toward his face, as if thousands of hungry wolf souls were rushing toward him.

Pfft!

Bloodstains appeared all over Su Xiao's body, as if he had been slashed a dozen times by an invisible sword. His health dropped significantly.

The subtle sound of wind breaking came toward his face. Su Xiao raised his blade to block. With a clang, the captain's great sword, eroded by the Abyss, slashed down.

Dark impact spread to the surroundings. Gulu, who was in a hidden state, saw her health drop suddenly. She was stunned; this was just the shockwave caused by the Wolf Knight's slash. If she had taken that sword head-on...

Boom!!

The gray rock ground under Su Xiao's feet cracked. The cracks spread to a hundred meters around with his feet as the center. The long blade in his hand collided with the slashing Wolf Sword. The blade and the edge rubbed against each other, making a clicking sound.

Su Xiao held the hilt with his right hand, and his left hand, wrapped in a crystal layer, pressed against the spine of the blade. His arms began to go numb. Blocking the Wolf Knight head-on was harder than shaking the Old Knight's hegemony sword.

With a boom, Su Xiao was sent flying by the subsequent power of the Wolf Knight's sword momentum. Wolf Sword Art was just like this: attacking a group of enemies at once, sharp and agile; when facing an enemy alone, it was like a trapped beast at the end of its rope, not retreating half a step, but slashing the enemy back.

Clang! Clang!

Su Xiao blocked with his blade one after another. When he blocked the second sword, the power on the great sword traveled through his arms and rushed into his internal organs, nearly sending him flying backward again.

Wolf Sword Art was not flashy, but incomparably powerful. This was a simple and pure power. What was even more terrifying was that Wolf Sword Art became stronger the more it slashed. If the first sword slashed by the Wolf Knight Captain had a power of 10, the second sword reached at least 13–15, the third sword broke through 20, and by the fourth sword...

Su Xiao crouched low. The great sword cut through space, slashing a black mark above him. Afterward, the Wolf Knight's sword-holding arm went behind his back, and he slashed with a sword.

Boom!!

The blade slashed past Su Xiao's shoulder, slashing into the ground beside him. He made a gesture to side-kick, kicking the great sword away, but the Wolf Knight turned the edge of the great sword, aiming the blade at the sole of Su Xiao's side-kicking foot.

Not only that, but the Wolf Knight also had a follow-up move after slashing this sword. He held the hilt with both hands and lifted the sword.

Zing~

The great sword slashed past Su Xiao's face. Such a simple sword technique, yet its lethality was not low at all.

The fifth sword slashed into the air. The great sword in the Wolf Knight's hand flipped, changed to a backhand grip, and stabbed into the ground.

With a boom, a black pillar of light erupted from under Su Xiao's feet. He leaped sideways with all his might to evade, but his left arm was still affected by the black pillar of light. The flesh and blood of his left arm were riddled with holes in an instant, revealing the bones.

Click, click, click~

The crystal layer spread on Su Xiao's left arm. Release and Spirit Shadow Thread sank into it at the same time, filling the missing flesh and blood with crystals.

Su Xiao was in a sideways leap. He raised his left hand, pointing at the rushing Wolf Knight, but in the next instant, the Wolf Knight disappeared and appeared behind him. This feeling was too familiar; the Wolf Knight also had the ability to penetrate space.

With a swish, the great sword slashed across Su Xiao's neck. He had already entered space penetration, successfully evading this deadly sword.

The moment Su Xiao landed, blue light appeared in the center of his eyes.

"Blade Dao Blade · Extreme."

Clang!!

The long blade and the great sword slashed against each other, and the impact spread. In the next instant, the ground of the entire open field exploded. Not only that, but the strong impact caused by the clash shattered the surrounding circular high wall, and bone fragments splashed like flowers scattered by a goddess.

Among them was Gulu, who had several bloodstains on her body and tears in her eyes. She wasn't scared or sad; because of these, she wouldn't have half a tear. She was too aggrieved. Just hiding on the edge looking for an opportunity, she had nearly died.

What made her even more aggrieved was that the two people fighting in the center of the field didn't use any recovery items, but she, who was looking for an opportunity on the edge, had already gulped down several bottles of potions.

Blood energy and darkness erupted at the same time, eroding each other and shattering the buildings in the surrounding area.

When everything calmed down, blood dripped along the tip of Checking Zhan Long Shan. This was Su Xiao's own blood. He rushed to the front of the Wolf Knight in a few steps, slashing with his long blade with all his might.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Su Xiao slashed down heavily one after another. He temporarily changed his fighting style, but with a posture of "immovable as a mountain, moving like a thunderbolt," he slashed the Wolf Knight back one after another. Although he didn't slash a single blade, the cracks distributed on his right arm became deeper, and more blood flowed out.

After slashing more than a dozen blades in succession, when the Wolf Knight opposite him had retreated two steps, Su Xiao's entire right arm was stained red by his own blood. He had already discovered the method to deal with Wolf Sword Art, which was to maintain pressure constantly. If he let the other slash, the other would have hegemony-body slashes throughout + an outrageously strong slashing power.

When fighting the Old Knight initially, the Old Knight only started hegemony-body slashes after launching an attack. The Wolf Knight was different. His initial two swords didn't have hegemony-body slash effects. When slashing to the third sword, the other had hegemony-body slashes similar to the Old Knight. After slashing to the fourth sword, the other would enter a continuous strong hegemony-body state.

With a clang, sparks splashed. The Wolf Knight Captain raised his sword to block Su Xiao's heavy slash. Su Xiao knew that the situation was not good.

At the same time the Wolf Knight blocked Su Xiao's heavy slash, his momentum soared.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...

Su Xiao blocked with his blade one after another. The weapons clashed until sparks splashed. As he was slashed back, the gravel under his feet splashed.

The Wolf Knight slashed so many swords in succession that the great sword in his hand began to drift with black smoke, and the whole person gave people a sense of being unstoppable, as if nothing could push him back.

The crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's calves and feet. Facing the Wolf Knight who was slashing with a sword, he kicked straight out.

Thud!!

A wave of air exploded. Su Xiao kicked straight into the Wolf Knight's abdomen. As a result, the Wolf Knight, who had already entered the strong hegemony-body state, didn't retreat half a step. The ground behind him collapsed, and a fan-shaped trench was blasted out by the penetrating kicking force, the trench bottomless.

Kicking out this foot, Su Xiao leaped backward with the help of the reaction force. He didn't use the crystal layer on his calves; the shinbone of his calf cracked. He had to maintain the crystal layer's wrapping to avoid the bone crack worsening.

"Blood Smoke Cannon."

A straight blood energy ray blasted out. The rushing Wolf Knight dodged it narrowly as if he had foreseen it, and at the same time, slashed with a sword in return.

Pfft.

Baja was slashed in half by a sword. Although it looked creepy, it was one wing that was slashed off, and not much of the torso was slashed off along with the wing.

Baja disappeared with space ability. It didn't retreat, but appeared in front of the Wolf Knight, its eagle claws sweeping toward the Wolf Knight's throat.

With a sizzle, Baja's sharp claws swept past. It tore through the metal scales, leaving three deep wounds on the Wolf Knight's neck, but this was its last attack. Although the sword it took didn't hit a vital point, it also caused it to quickly reach the point of death.

Black smoke gathered on the Wolf Knight's hand, about to grab Baja. Baja had just prepared to retreat with space ability when the space around it twisted, causing its space travel to fail.

Pfft.

The long blade pierced through the Wolf Knight's arm, stabbing in from behind the elbow and out from the palm. The only chance of winning this battle was that the Wolf Knight's defense wasn't very perverted.

Baja fell freely. Before it landed, it disappeared; it was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang who risked coming to the rescue.

At this time, if one observed carefully, one would find that the Checking Zhan Long Shan in Su Xiao's hand had a crimson blade, which was high-concentration blood energy clinging to it.

"Blade Dao Blade · Blood Explosion."

Red light appeared in Su Xiao's eyes. A loud noise spread, and Checking Zhan Long Shan, which pierced through the Wolf Knight's arm, triggered an explosion, blasting the Wolf Knight's entire left arm to pieces.

Su Xiao leaped backward with the help of the blood explosion's impact. Although this move "Blade Dao Blade · Blood Explosion" had astonishing power, it was also very damaging to the blade. He could only use it about twice per world. Afterward, he would go back to find Reed to maintain Checking Zhan Long Shan. If he used it more than twice in a single world, it would lead to a permanent drop in Checking Zhan Long Shan's durability, as well as bring other reductions.

Drip, drip~

Bloodstains dripped along Su Xiao's chin. His breathing had already become rapid, and the scene before his eyes appeared in double images.

Suddenly, a wolf howl appeared in Su Xiao's ears. After this almost hallucinatory sound appeared, he felt an unprecedented sense of danger. In the next instant, the Wolf Knight appeared in front of him, and black-blue smoke rose on the great sword in the other's hand.

This ability felt too much like Magic Blade, but there were some differences. What was certain was that this was a killing technique.

Su Xiao's perception circle was fully open. His concentration became more and more focused, but just at this moment, he felt something squeeze him in front of him. It was Gulu who had suddenly appeared.

Gulu appeared just like that. Her back was no more than 10 centimeters away from Su Xiao's chest. In this situation, she was not Su Xiao's shield, but an obstacle to Su Xiao's response position.

Gulu reached forward with one hand, and golden light bloomed in her palm. The oncoming sword pressure blew her hair. She used the Origin-grade item given to her by the Troupe Leader. Almost at the same time, golden marks appeared on her own body, as well as on Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja. This was the preciousness of this item, which could significantly avoid damage caused to marked units, and the further the distance, the higher the damage reduction.

As for why the Troupe Leader didn't give this item directly to Su Xiao, it was originally prepared to be so, but due to the fact that this thing required a Samsara Brand level of Lv. 75 or higher, plus a charm attribute as high as 10 points, the Troupe Leader let Gulu use it instead.

The great sword rising with black-blue smoke collided with the golden brilliance. Afterward, there was a brief silence, with only the light shining brightly, and finally, the loud noise that deafened people.

When everything calmed down, if one looked down from above, one could see a giant pit with a diameter of several kilometers. Inside the giant pit, a twisted black hole was located in mid-air, being covered by large patches of light patterns.

"Cough cough~, this time it should be dead, right."

Gulu lay in the giant pit. She didn't want to move even a finger at this time. Her whole body was hurting, but as soon as her voice fell, the Wolf Knight Captain stood up from the gravel a hundred meters away, black smoke dispersing on his body.

"Are you kidding me."

Gulu tried to get up, but didn't. She could only crawl backward, leaving bloodstains along the way.

Click, click.

The Wolf Knight's footsteps were getting closer. Gulu had an immediate sense of "my life is over," but she didn't give up, crawling in the direction away from the Wolf Knight.

In fact, Gulu had mistaken the person. The footsteps behind her just now were Su Xiao's. It was no wonder she would be like this; she was already in a state of severe near-death.

"..."

Su Xiao stopped in front of Gulu. Gulu looked up and saw Su Xiao, covered in blood, stuffing his liver back into his chest with his bare hands.

In Su Xiao's view, Gulu's behavior was simply confusing. She didn't crawl away, but crawled in the direction the Wolf Knight was walking.

Su Xiao tightened the Spirit Shadow Thread with one hand, stitching up the wound on the side of his chest. He saw everything a bit blurry now. The Wolf Knight walking toward him could only be seen as a blurry figure, but that was enough.

Su Xiao walked forward. After feeling that his body's balance was a bit better, he rushed to the front of the Wolf Knight in a few steps and slashed down by feeling. As for perception, stop joking; with his current injuries, his perception was basically as good as nothing.

"Blade Dao Blade · Extreme."

Clang!

The long blade and the great sword slashed against each other. Su Xiao and the Wolf Knight Captain retreated a few steps at the same time.

Su Xiao felt his chest churning, and he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood. After spitting out this mouthful of blood, he discovered that there were many black energy threads in the bloodstains on the ground. This meant that he was being eroded by Abyss energy. No wonder his state was so poor that he couldn't even release his perception.

Su Xiao's state was poor, and the Wolf Knight wasn't much better. Black bloodstains flowed out along the air holes of his face mask. The Wolf Sword in his hand was already riddled with holes, almost becoming a saw in the shape of a sword.

"Huff, huff..."

After Su Xiao took a few heavy breaths, he stepped forward and stabbed his blade into the Wolf Knight Captain's chest. Almost at the same time, he felt his chest and abdomen go numb, and then the right half of his body lost sensation. This made him use his remaining strength to punch out with his left fist, blasting the Wolf Knight back, while he also staggered back two steps.

A wonderful scene appeared: Su Xiao had the Wolf Great Sword stabbed into his chest and abdomen, while the Wolf Knight opposite him had his chest pierced through by Checking Zhan Long Shan.

Almost at the same time, Su Xiao and the Wolf Knight each grabbed the hilt of the other's weapon, and then Su Xiao fell to the ground with a thud, his whole body dispersing black mist. On the Wolf Knight's side, blue electric arcs surged on his body, and he also fell down with a thud.

Su Xiao supported the ground with one hand. He felt the world spinning. The vision before his eyes was only a strip as wide as a finger gap. He cleared his mind, clung to the crystal layer on his abdomen, and at the same time used the crystal to resist the hilt of the Wolf Great Sword. By constructing the crystal, he pushed the Wolf Great Sword out of his abdomen.

It took a full dozen seconds for Su Xiao to complete what he could easily do in the past. After the Wolf Great Sword was pushed out, he supported his body with the strength he had just recovered. After picking off the source stone at the end of the hilt, he kicked the Wolf Great Sword away into the distance.

"Huff, huff..."

Su Xiao's vision became clearer. The vision was like being blocked by frosted glass. He narrowed his eyes and pointed his index finger at the Wolf Knight dozens of meters away.

"Blood Smoke Cannon."

A straight blood energy ray blasted out. Whether it hit the Wolf Knight or not, he didn't know; anyway, the explosion in the distance was quite loud.

Su Xiao half-squatted on the ground to rest for two seconds, then pointed at the Wolf Knight again.

"Blood Smoke Cannon."

The blood energy ray blasted out. This time Su Xiao saw that the Wolf Knight opposite him was blasted down.

After resting for a few more seconds, Su Xiao raised his hand, and Checking Zhan Long Shan flew over by itself, held in his hand. He took out a bottle of potion and drank it. The recovery effect was very unsatisfactory; the health recovered per second was less than 0.2%. The injuries were too heavy. This wasn't playing a game where as long as you didn't die, a bottle of potion could restore health. After the body's injuries reached a certain degree, the recovery power would also reach a very bad state.

Walking and stopping, Su Xiao took a full half-minute to reach a few meters away from the Wolf Knight. He actually wanted to slash a "Blade Dao Blade · Flow," but alas, he could clearly feel that his current body state couldn't use this sword technique move.

"Blade Dao Blade · Blue Ghost."

Su Xiao slashed out Blue Ghost. The blue blade light slashed on the Wolf Knight, armor fragments splashed, and the Wolf Knight didn't move.

Su Xiao rested in place for five or six seconds again before he came to the Wolf Knight's side. He held the blade with a backhand grip and stabbed toward the Wolf Knight's head from top to bottom.

Click!

The Wolf Knight suddenly raised his hand to grab Checking Zhan Long Shan. Space fluctuations appeared. The half-dead Baja grabbed the Wolf Knight's arm with its sharp claws, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang bit toward the Wolf Knight.

With a bang, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was punched away. Although the Wolf Knight was at the end of his rope, this punch, when landed on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, also left a trail of blood in mid-air.

"Die!"

Gulu, who crawled over, held the dagger with a backhand grip and stabbed down, but because she was in a near-death state, this stab passed by the Wolf Knight's ear and sank into the rock layer beside the ear with a swish. This scene was both funny and tragic.

"Damn it."

Gulu gritted her teeth and pulled the dagger. This thing, which was extremely easy in the past, was now so hard that her eyes went black, and she couldn't do it.

Click, click, click~

The Wolf Knight held Checking Zhan Long Shan with one hand. Su Xiao's other hand pressed on the end of the hilt, pressing down with all his remaining strength.

Pfft.

The long blade pierced through the Wolf Knight Captain's head. The hand holding the blade began to lose strength and finally hung down, falling to the ground.

The world before Su Xiao's eyes began to tilt to one side and finally fell completely. His eyes were pitch black, and he fell to the ground and fainted with a thud.

"Xiang Bubu, retreat."

Baja dragged Gulu toward Su Xiao. The limping Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran over, carried Su Xiao and Gulu on its back, and entered the different space opened by Baja.

Only the Wolf Knight Captain's corpse remained in the giant pit. He lay there, the Wolf Great Sword inserted beside him.

A wind blew past, and the Wolf Knight's cloak, which had been slashed off by Su Xiao, was blown up and happened to hang on the hilt of the Wolf Great Sword. The emblem on it made it look like the battle flag of the Wolf Knight team in the past.

The last Wolf Knight had been slashed.
