Chapter 492: Changing Hands

"Where is that dog? Giving you one last chance."

Dark King Minas exhaled a mouthful of demonic energy, and yellow liquid dripped from his chin. It seemed Bubu Wang had been a bit angry these days.

"Kill me, and it will appear."

Su Xiao walked slowly toward the Dark King. The other party's strength was too strong, and he had no chance of winning, but the enemy was already in front of him, and he couldn't retreat.

"Looks like that is your subordinate, little shorty."

The Dark King looked down at Su Xiao. At the Dark King's height of more than three meters, Su Xiao's normal human height couldn't compare.

Su Xiao rushed forward directly. There was no need for nonsense now. After killing the Dark King, he would find a way to leave the Black Forest, and then find a place in the normal area to spend the rest of the trial time. If the black mist of the Black Forest disappeared, he would retreat toward the red soil area.

Su Xiao rushed forward quickly, and the Dark King clenched his fists. If his strength were fully awake, he could flatten Su Xiao with one punch.

It was a pity that the Dark King hadn't fully woken up, so dreaming of smashing Su Xiao to death with one punch was a dream.

Keeping a distance of about two meters, Su Xiao held the blade with one hand and slashed at the Dark King's neck.

The Dark King stood in place without moving, neither attacking nor defending.

Checking Zhan Long Shan cut through the air, making bursts of whimpering sounds, leaving a pale blue streak in mid-air, and slashed on the Dark King's neck.

*Ding! *

The crisp sound of metal clashing spread far away. Su Xiao frowned tightly; the other party used his body to resist his slash.

The counter-shock force was transmitted to his hand, and Su Xiao's right hand went numb.

The Dark King's face didn't look very good either, because he was injured, a trace of blood appeared on his neck, and a burst of energy invaded his body, making him suffer unimaginable excruciating pain.

The Dark King stained some blood from the wound on his neck with his hand and placed his hand in front of him.

"Actually able to hurt me, worthy of commendation."

The wound on the Dark King's neck healed while he was speaking.

Su Xiao took the opportunity to retreat two steps. Just now, he had attached Qing Gang Ying energy to Checking Zhan Long Shan, and slashed at the other party's vital point, but unfortunately, he couldn't slash off the other party's head.

Checking Zhan Long Shan's sharpness + Blade Master could only barely break through the Dark King's defense. The reason was very simple: the Dark King's rank was much higher than Su Xiao's. Although not fully awake, the Dark King's defense wouldn't decrease.

*Whoosh~. *

The Dark King suddenly disappeared in front of him, and the sound of breaking air came from behind. Su Xiao immediately lowered his head.

A pitch-black iron fist brushed over his head. This punch was fast and urgent, and the strength was also impeccable.

Jumping a few meters to the side, Su Xiao thought about countermeasures in his heart. His slash could break through the Dark King's skin, which was enough. As long as he could hurt the enemy, Qing Gang Ying energy would invade the enemy's body, thereby burning the enemy's mana, causing at least 50 points of true damage each time.

Opening Qing Gang Ying fully consumed 30 mana per minute. Su Xiao still had 1306 mana, which could maintain Qing Gang Ying for 43 minutes.

Su Xiao looked at the Dark King. The other party was pitch black, like a big man sculpted from obsidian, unhackable and unbreakable.

If Su Xiao couldn't kill the Dark King within 43 minutes, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning. However, considering the mana-burning effect after ten minutes of opening Qing Gang Ying, Su Xiao had some confidence.

Qing Gang Ying would burn the enemy's mana while causing damage. The Dark King had 310 mana. After a few slashes, the Dark King wouldn't be able to use any skills that required mana.

Planning the scheme in his heart, Su Xiao decided to fight a war of attrition with the Dark King.

Su Xiao didn't speak, and the Dark King didn't have the habit of speaking when the battle started. Only the sound of footsteps when the two moved was on the field.

A few seconds later, Su Xiao suddenly erupted, rushing to the Dark King's side in two big strides.

Slashing out with one blade, this time Su Xiao chose the arm. He no longer attacked the Dark King's vital points. The difference between slashing the vital point and slashing the arm was not big at this time. As long as he could hurt the enemy, Qing Gang Ying energy would invade.

The blade light swept past, and a bloodstain appeared on the Dark King's wrist. Qing Gang Ying energy seeped into the wound and disappeared in a flash.

One slash hurt the enemy, Su Xiao didn't retreat.

The Dark King's teeth clicked, and although he was a mutant demon, he also had pain perception. The Qing Gang Ying energy made him "want to die."

The Dark King's iron fists ignored Su Xiao's slash and hammered over. Su Xiao tilted his head to dodge.

While dodging a punch, Su Xiao slashed the long blade in his right hand at the Dark King's chest, which was wide open.

The Dark King grinned, and a pitch-black big hand swept out an afterimage, grabbing straight at Su Xiao's wrist.

*Snap! *

Su Xiao's hand holding the blade was grabbed by the Dark King, and excruciating pain came. This was almost a dead end, but Su Xiao's expression was calm, not caring at all that his right hand was grabbed by the Dark King.

One hand for one eye, worth it.

Although his right hand was grabbed tightly, he threw the Checking Zhan Long Shan in his right hand, held the hilt with his left hand, and stabbed at the Dark King's eye with one blade.

The Dark King had two choices at this moment: one was to close

A sword thrust was only a matter of an instant; the Dark King did not have time to consider too much, so it directly let go and retreated backward.

Zzz—

The sound of the metal wire tightening came, and the Dark King's retreating figure paused. Su Xiao thrust his sword out.

Pfft.

The long sword stopped after sinking into the Dark King's eyeball. The Dark King grabbed the blade of Checking Zhan Long Shan with its bare hand.

Su Xiao held the sword with both hands, using all his strength to drag Checking Zhan Long Shan out from the Dark King's palm.

Blood gushed out from between the Dark King's fingers. At the same time, Su Xiao released the Jie Duan Xian wrapped around the Dark King's arm. It would be troublesome if the Dark King grabbed the Jie Duan Xian, as it was connected to his arm guard.

Both sides retreated. Su Xiao held Checking Zhan Long Shan, the tip of the blade dripping with blood.

He raised his right arm; his right wrist was bruised, and the purple-black handprint was clearly visible.

He tried to clench his fist; although there was some stinging pain, fortunately, swinging the sword was no problem.

Checking Zhan Long Shan was tossed back to his right hand. Su Xiao did not only know how to swing a sword with his right hand; the right hand was just his dominant hand. In a critical moment, his left hand could also swing the sword, just as accurately.

The Dark King covered one eye, breathing heavily; this was the breathing of anger.

Having only exchanged two rounds, it had actually lost an eye. It was true that the Dark King's recovery power was strong, but that only applied to the recovery of injuries; it could not restore severed hands or feet, let alone an eyeball.

The Dark King's eye being blinded was undoubtedly great news. Su Xiao was already looking at the Dark King's other eye; if the Dark King were completely blinded, he would definitely win.

He feinted with Checking Zhan Long Shan, dancing a blade flower.

Su Xiao shifted his steps, starting to move toward the Dark King's right side. The Dark King was blind in its right eye, and this area had become a visual blind spot.

The Dark King calmed its emotions, and the contempt in its eyes vanished. It clearly realized that it had not yet recovered its strength. Before it recovered its strength, the enemy in front of it might kill it.

This was the price of a long life; there was a period of weakness after every slumber.

Su Xiao and the Dark King did not have the habit of talking while fighting; there were only the sounds of footsteps made by the two moving on the field.

Su Xiao's body suddenly leaned forward, making a gesture to charge. The Dark King immediately became vigilant, but this was just a feint.

From the moment the Dark King lost an eye, the rhythm of the battle was in Su Xiao's hands.

However, Su Xiao kept one point in mind: he must never be grabbed by the Dark King, absolutely never. The Dark King had the ability to tear him apart with its bare hands.
