Chapter 421: Fierce Battle
As he rushed forward, Su Xiao thrust the long sword in his hand forward.
This was just a probe. The President's comprehensive attributes were slightly higher, and his technical abilities were one level higher than his.
It wasn't that Su Xiao had no chance of winning; his passive skills were stronger than the President's.
Data comparison could only judge general strength; the outcome of the battle also depended on on-the-spot performance.
Su Xiao thrust his sword, but the President didn't dodge or evade, crossing the two piercing swords in front of him. The gap between the two crossed swords just happened to catch Su Xiao's thrust.
Su Xiao continued to thrust the long sword, but the President raised the crossed piercing swords high.
*Zhi-la—* The weapons rubbed against each other, emitting a harsh sound. Su Xiao's sword was deflected, thrusting diagonally past the President's head.
Su Xiao shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake; he did it on purpose.
*Zhi—*
The sound of metal wire contracting came. The Boundary Line had already been laid around the President. As long as it tightened, the President would have no way to escape.
The President sensed the Boundary Line and knew that it was too late to dodge now. He immediately crouched on the ground and thrust the two piercing swords in his hands into the ground on both sides of his body.
*Zhi-la—*
The Boundary Line tightened against the two piercing swords, and the gap between the two piercing swords allowed the President to dodge the Boundary Line.
Just after dealing with the Boundary Line, the President found something rolling toward his feet—it was a round white ball.
Without even thinking, the President leaped up. While in mid-air, he drew two piercing swords from his waist.
*Boom! *
The alchemy bomb exploded, and the firelight rushed toward him. The President clearly felt the scorching heat in his face.
Opposite the exploding flames, Su Xiao took a deep breath and held it, burying his head and rushing into the flames.
With a *whoosh*, Su Xiao broke through the flames and closed in on the President.
Wanting to close in on the President was simple; the opponent was also a close-combat fighter.
The Checking Zhan Long Shan cut through the air, emitting a whimpering sound. Su Xiao slashed at the President's head.
This was Su Xiao's consistent style; he liked to slash at the enemy's head, torso, etc.
The wind pressure was biting, and the edge of the Checking Zhan Long Shan gave people a "blinding sensation." It wasn't light, but the Checking Zhan Long Shan was too sharp; this was what is called "sharpness that presses on people."
The President raised his sword to block.
*Ding. *
The sharpness of the Checking Zhan Long Shan took effect, and the piercing sword in the President's hand broke.
Having a weapon broken is fatal for a close-combat fighter. Although the President had prepared 6 piercing swords in total, he had to pay the price for the broken sword during the engagement.
Su Xiao held the sword with both hands, one hand a fleshy palm, the other wrapped in a metal arm guard, giving people a cold aesthetic of iron and flesh.
After slashing and breaking the President's piercing sword, Su Xiao's gaze became sharp, and he immediately attacked the left side of the President's body because the piercing sword in the President's left hand was broken.
The sword light flashed, and a large piece of muscle on the President's shoulder was slashed off. This sword was originally aimed at the President's head, but it was dodged by the President's sideways movement.
Qing Gang Ying energy invaded the President's body from the wound, and the President let out a muffled groan.
Just as Su Xiao slashed this sword, the President's piercing sword also arrived.
*Stab. *
The piercing sword penetrated Su Xiao's collarbone, passing directly through his body.
Feeling the cold touch at his collarbone and that familiar numbness, Su Xiao knew he was injured.
The President dragged the piercing sword, wanting to enlarge the wound at Su Xiao's collarbone.
This was a move Su Xiao often used; he certainly knew how to break it.
His left hand, wrapped in a metal arm guard, slapped the piercing sword. The President immediately wanted to withdraw the sword and retreat, but it was too late.
*Ding. *
The piercing sword broke, and one-third of the piercing sword remained stuck in Su Xiao's collarbone position.
Both were injured, but neither let out even half a scream; at most, they let out a muffled groan after being injured.
After one round of engagement, Su Xiao and the President stood in a standoff, neither moving.
The two weren't taking the opportunity to rest; they had only engaged for one round, and their physical exertion wasn't much. The reason they stopped was that others had come.
Su Xiao tilted his head to look at the corridor on the side. Several men and women stood in the corridor, all unfamiliar faces. He immediately thought that these were contractors.
Several contractors looked sluggish; the scene they had just witnessed almost shocked their eyeballs.
For them, the President was a super big BOSS, but now this super big BOSS was fighting one-on-one with a certain contractor, and more importantly, the two were evenly matched, looking like they were evenly matched.
Su Xiao grasped the piercing sword stuck in his collarbone and slowly pulled it out. Blood gushed out, staining his clothes.
The 【Lan Kai Windbreaker】's defense was not weak, but a windbreaker is not armor. Although it was dark purple, it couldn't completely defend against the President's piercing attack.
With other contractors nearby, Su Xiao certainly wouldn't continue to fight the President to the death; he had to deal with these contractors first.
"Seems... a bit bad."
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Need you ask? Of course, run!"
Several contractors turned and ran. The idea of sitting back and reaping the benefits had vanished.
Not long after those contractors ran far away, Su Xiao looked at the President.
"Continue."
Not caring about the bleeding wound, Su Xiao rushed straight toward the President.
The President also rushed toward Su Xiao, and the two entangled together.
*Ding, ding... *
The crisp sound of weapons colliding came one after another, sparks splashed in front of the two, and the long sword and piercing sword drew white marks in the air.
The President's piercing sword had been broken once, so he no longer fought hard with Su Xiao. Every time the weapons collided, the President would appropriately reduce his force.
Even so, the piercing sword in the President's hand also appeared with many notches. After dozens of clashes, the piercing sword in the President's hand was unrecognizable; rather than saying it was a piercing sword, it was more like a saw.
Discovering this situation, the President made a decision: end the battle quickly.
Clashing with Su Xiao again, a wave of air spread out, showing the force of their slashes.
Large cracks appeared on the ground under Su Xiao's feet. He pressed the long sword forward; the enemy's weapon couldn't hold on, but the enemy could change weapons.
*Crack! * A large crack appeared on the body of the piercing sword in the President's hand, and it could break at any time.
The President slashed forward, and Su Xiao immediately met him with his sword.
*Ding. *
The President's weapon broke again, but the President was already prepared.
As the piercing sword broke, the President kicked Su Xiao's lower abdomen.
This kick was fast and urgent, and the angle was exceptionally tricky. If he was kicked, Su Xiao's intestines would be broken.
Su Xiao bent one leg and blocked it in front of his lower abdomen. He didn't think much at all; this was an instinctive reaction.
*Bang. *
The President kicked Su Xiao's shin bone. Su Xiao was kicked flying for a few meters before landing steadily.
Although his lower leg was a bit numb, he didn't take the kick for nothing.
A wisp of blood flowed down the President's cheek, and an extremely deep slash appeared on the President's scalp, with the white skull even exposed in the wound.
"What a pleasant battle."
Blood stained the President's white shirt, and the President chuckled, but this smile was fleeting. After the President's identity was exposed, his expression rarely changed.
Flicking the blood off the Checking Zhan Long Shan, Su Xiao found the opportunity for victory after engaging with the President: the opponent's weapon was not good enough.
The Checking Zhan Long Shan was forged by him at a high cost. For a close-combat fighter, a good weapon is crucial. ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
