Chapter 55: Life or Death

The Ghoul wearing the clown mask retreated slowly, his eyes full of threats, seemingly very confident in his identity as a member of the Tsukiyama family.

Su Xiao knew something about the Tsukiyama family. The Tsukiyama family had great influence in both politics and business, with extensive connections and abundant resources.

If it were an ordinary person, they might be wary of the Tsukiyama family, but would Su Xiao really care about some Tsukiyama family?

Not to mention the Ghoul in front of him, even if it were the young master of the Tsukiyama family, Tsukiyama Shuu, he would kill him without hesitation.

Moreover, the most terrifying force in the Ghoul world was the CCG, where Su Xiao was located, though most people didn't know it.

"The Tsukiyama family, truly chilling."

Su Xiao's tone was frivolous, holding his long sword and gradually approaching the Ghoul.

The clown Ghoul became vigilant.

"I'll give you one billion yen; let me go."

As expected of someone from the Tsukiyama family, wealthy and imposing; one billion yen right off the bat.

Su Xiao continued to walk slowly. The clown Ghoul wasn't stupid and immediately realized that Su Xiao didn't intend to let him go.

"If I don't die today, I will definitely mobilize the family's forces to hunt you down until you wish you were dead."

The clown Ghoul's Kagune appeared; it was a Bikaku.

Those were two fire-red Kagune, as thick as a thigh, and not very long.

Ghouls who used Bikaku were relatively balanced in all aspects, but lacked explosive power, and their lower-body strength was relatively outstanding.

The clown Ghoul clenched his fists, holding them in front of him, assuming a hand-to-hand combat posture.

Most Ghouls who were good at using Bikaku were masters of hand-to-hand combat, but the clown Ghoul in front of him clearly didn't fall into this category. One look and you could tell the other party was a pampered young master who wasn't very good at fighting.

One could tell from his gaze that kept scanning the surroundings; he couldn't even concentrate during the fight.

End the fight within a minute, because there were more troublesome enemies waiting for him to solve.

Most of the Ghouls fleeing in the auction house stopped and looked at him with murderous intent.

Su Xiao tapped the ground with Checking Zhan Long Shan to distract the clown Ghoul, then rushed toward him without warning.

The clown Ghoul's body stiffened significantly, actually appearing somewhat at a loss.

A bright blade light appeared in front of the clown Ghoul. The clown exclaimed and instinctively used his Kagune to block.

But Su Xiao just feinted, his free left hand clenched into a fist, and he punched the clown Ghoul in the abdomen.

The hard fist sank into the abdomen, the clown Ghoul's body arched, and he let out a strange cry.

"Woo~."

A crying sound came, and Su Xiao was somewhat stunned. This Ghoul was actually beaten to tears by him? He really was a young master. How did the other party grow into an S-grade Ghoul?

The enemy's crying didn't gain a shred of pity from Su Xiao; he kicked the clown Ghoul's lower leg again.

"Crack."

Bones broke, and pale broken bones pierced through the muscles.

"Ah~~!!"

A scream like a woman's came. The clown Ghoul was scared out of his wits by his two strikes and actually turned around, limping away.

Not to mention that the auction house was already blocked, running away during a fight was completely looking for death.

"Puchi."

Su Xiao pierced through the clown Ghoul's back with one blade, and the clown Ghoul's running motion stopped abruptly.

The mask slipped off, revealing a handsome face with some evil air.

"I don't want to die, I still have so much money~."

With a thud, the clown Ghoul fell to the ground. Aside from Contribution Points, no treasure chest dropped.

For such trash, it was normal not to drop a treasure chest. Su Xiao suspected that the other party couldn't even beat a battle-hardened Grade B Ghoul.

Su Xiao pulled out Checking Zhan Long Shan, flicked off the blood, and took off the night-vision goggles.

The auction house was already full of flames, and some Ghouls had lit the wooden chairs, forming a bonfire.

Su Xiao turned around and looked at the Ghouls gathered together.

"Then, let's have some fun."

A smile appeared at the corner of Su Xiao's mouth, and a red light flashed in his pitch-black eyes under the firelight.

There were nearly a hundred Ghouls on the field, most of them Grade B, with more than twenty Grade A. If they swarmed him, he would also have the danger of dying in battle.

"Kill him! Even if we can't escape today, we have to drag one down with us."

"Right, today's matter is this bastard's conspiracy."

More than a hundred Ghouls revealed their red eyes, and their Kagune appeared.

Ukaku, Koukaku, Rinkaku, Bikaku—everything was there.

There were many enemies. Su Xiao could use other methods to eliminate them, but doing so would be time-consuming and laborious, and he wouldn't get many Contribution Points.

The CCG investigators outside could rush in to support him at any time; such a good opportunity wasn't common.

He wanted to test his current limit.

"No more nonsense. If we fight, let's fight to our heart's content. If you can kill me, perhaps you'll have a chance to live."

More than a hundred Ghouls revealed their Kagune; this scene was very shocking.

"Charge! Kill him!"

I don't know which Ghoul took the lead and shouted, but all the Ghouls swarmed forward.

Su Xiao took a deep breath and faced the more than a hundred Ghouls.

"Zheng~."

Cutting the Ghoul charging at the very front in half with one blade, Su Xiao rushed into the crowd.

【Qing Gang Ying】 activated, sword skills used to the maximum extent, and Su Xiao began to fight with all his might.

Pale blue energy wrapped around Checking Zhan Long Shan, electric arcs jumping, making this top-tier white weapon even sharper.

"Puchi, puchi, puchi~."

Slashing through with three blades, three heads flew up.

After Su Xiao's red-flashing eyes looked directly at a Ghoul, that Ghoul was actually stunned by fear.

Cutting the throat with one blade, Su Xiao went to find the next victim.

His back was suddenly hit hard, and Su Xiao staggered forward a few steps.

He couldn't confirm which Ghoul had injured him, but he had already sensed this attack, but there were too many Ghouls attacking him at the same time, and he couldn't dodge completely.

Blood seeped out from Su Xiao's back, so he simply tore off his tattered top.

The blow just now cost him 6% of his health; the injury wasn't serious.

Su Xiao was surrounded by Ghouls, but he could dodge most of their attacks, only taking them head-on when he had no choice.

His Agility was as high as 13 points; Agility not only increased speed but also improved nerve reflexes.

Compared to the injuries he sustained, the casualties of the Ghouls were greater; as long as they were slashed by the long sword in his hand, they would either die or be crippled.

Under the fear of death, all the Ghouls became hysterical.

"This is the taste of human blood. He's human. His stamina will run out sooner or later."

"He's injured again. Everyone, don't give up."

During the fight, the Ghouls actually formed a temporary alliance.

Barely dodging an incoming Kagune, Su Xiao took the opportunity to grab a Ghoul's neck. With a crack, his 13 points of Strength directly snapped the Ghoul's neck.

Su Xiao held the Ghoul's corpse in his left hand as a temporary shield, continuing to fight with the Ghouls.

Three minutes later, more than seventy Ghouls remained on the field, and Su Xiao had 72% of his health remaining.

Five minutes later, more than forty Ghouls remained on the field, and Su Xiao had 46% of his health remaining.

Ten minutes later, more than ten Ghouls remained on the field, and Su Xiao had 28% of his health remaining.

Su Xiao was breathing heavily, blood dripping down the corner of his mouth. A siege of over a hundred people was different from fighting a single SSS-grade Ghoul; these were two completely different concepts.

Being besieged by over a hundred Ghouls, a visual blind spot would appear behind him, and he could only rely on intuition and sound to dodge attacks.

If over a hundred Ghouls attacked head-on, Su Xiao would never be this embarrassed. Just now, there were several times he almost died in battle.

Fighting is like this; the slightest difference is a world of difference.

This was the first time Su Xiao had experienced such a group battle, and his experience was somewhat insufficient. Growing in battle was a very fulfilling thing.

The remaining dozen or so Ghouls looked at Su Xiao with fear in their eyes.

"No, don't come over. We surrender."

These Ghouls were scared out of their wits by Su Xiao and actually wanted to surrender.

The battle had reached this point; there was no possibility of surrender at all. It was either you die or I die.

Su Xiao rushed forward with his sword. After a burst of wailing and the sound of flesh being slashed, the auction house fell into a deathly silence.
