They wielded considerable influence in politics and business, with extensive connections and abundant resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people might fear the Mukami family, but would Su Xiao truly care about any Mukami family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even if the ghoul before him were Mukami Shuu, the young master of the Mukami family, would he hesitate to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the most terrifying force in the ghoul world is CCG—the very organization Su Xiao belongs to—though most people remain unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Mukami family truly inspires dread.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s tone was casual as he advanced slowly toward the ghoul, his long blade in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown ghoul grew wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you one billion yen. Let me go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he’s from the Mukami family—filthy rich, throwing around a billion yen like pocket change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao continued his steady advance; the clown ghoul wasn’t stupid—he immediately realized Su Xiao had no intention of sparing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I live today, I’ll mobilize my family’s power to hunt you down until you beg for death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown ghoul’s kagune emerged—a tail kagune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was two crimson kagune, as thick as a thigh, and not particularly long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tail kagune users generally have balanced attributes but lack explosive power; their lower-body strength is notably strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown ghoul clenched his fists, holding them horizontally before him in a close-combat stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most tail kagune users are martial arts experts, but this clown ghoul clearly wasn’t one—he looked like a pampered rich boy, utterly unskilled in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his constantly darting gaze, it was obvious he couldn’t even focus during battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d finish this within a minute—there were more dangerous enemies waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleeing ghouls inside the auction hall had all stopped, staring at him with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao lightly tapped the ground with his Dragon-Slasher, distracting the clown ghoul, then surged forward without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown ghoul stiffened visibly, utterly flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant blade flash appeared before the clown ghoul—he gasped and instinctively raised his kagune to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Xiao’s strike was a feint; his free left hand clenched into a fist and slammed into the clown ghoul’s abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hard fist sank into the ghoul’s belly; he arched his back and let out a strange cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sobbing sound followed. Su Xiao was stunned—this ghoul had actually been crying? What a spoiled brat. How had he even become an S-class ghoul?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy’s tears earned no pity from Su Xiao—he kicked the clown ghoul’s calf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bone shattered; pale, broken fragments pierced through muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah~~!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman-like scream pierced the air—the clown ghoul, terrified by two blows, turned and limped away, fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind that the auction hall was sealed—fleeing mid-battle was pure suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pthss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s blade pierced straight through the clown ghoul’s back; his escape froze mid-step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mask slipped off, revealing a handsome face tinged with malevolence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to die—I still have so much money~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud. The clown ghoul collapsed, offering no loot except contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was normal for such trash to drop nothing—Su Xiao suspected the ghoul couldn’t even defeat a seasoned B-class ghoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao withdrew his Dragon-Slasher, flicked off the blood, and removed his night-vision goggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction hall was now ablaze—ghouls had set wooden chairs on fire, creating bonfires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao turned toward the group of gathered ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s have some fun, then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile curled on Su Xiao’s lips; his dark eyes flickered crimson in the firelight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around a hundred ghouls filled the hall—mostly B-class, with over twenty A-class. If they charged together, he could die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him. Even if we can’t escape today, we’ll take one down with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, this whole mess is his scheme.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All hundred ghouls revealed their red eyes; kagune erupted from their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wing kagune, armored kagune, scaled kagune, tail kagune—all types were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many enemies. Su Xiao could eliminate them in other ways, but that would waste time and yield little contribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CCG investigators could storm in at any moment to support him—this was too rare an opportunity to pass up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to test his current limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk. Fight if you’re going to fight. If you kill me, maybe you’ll live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred ghouls unleashed their kagune—a sight of terrifying grandeur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack! Kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone shouted, and all the ghouls surged forward as one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao took a deep breath and charged into the hundred ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zing~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sliced the foremost ghoul clean in half, then plunged into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Qinggangying】 activated. His sword techniques reached maximum intensity—he fought with full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale blue energy wrapped the Dragon-Slasher, electric arcs dancing, making the white top-tier weapon even sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pthss, pthss, pthss~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three swings—three heads flew into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Xiao’s glowing red eyes locked onto a ghoul, the ghoul froze in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One slash severed the throat. Su Xiao turned to find his next victim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy blow struck his back—he staggered forward several steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t identify which ghoul had hit him, but he’d sensed the attack. Too many were striking at once—he couldn’t dodge them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood seeped from Su Xiao’s back; he tore off his already shredded shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That blow had cost him 6% of his HP—not serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by ghouls, Su Xiao still evaded most of their attacks, only blocking when evasion was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His agility was 13 points—agility boosted not just speed but also neural reflexes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his wounds, the ghouls’ casualties were far greater—anyone struck by his blade either died or was crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fueled by fear, all the ghouls descended into hysteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s human blood—he’s human. His stamina will run out eventually.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s wounded again. Don’t give up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During battle, the ghouls formed a temporary alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao barely dodged a lashing kagune, then seized a ghoul’s neck—*crack*—his 13-point strength snapped it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao held the ghoul’s corpse aloft in his left hand as a makeshift shield, continuing to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three minutes later, seventy-plus ghouls remained; Su Xiao had 72% HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later, forty-plus ghouls remained; Su Xiao had 46% HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, a dozen ghouls remained; Su Xiao had 28% HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao breathed heavily, blood dripping from his lips. A hundred-man assault was nothing like fighting a single SSS-class ghoul—two entirely different concepts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by a hundred enemies, blind spots formed behind him—he could only dodge by instinct and sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the hundred ghouls had charged head-on, Su Xiao wouldn’t have been this battered—he’d nearly died several times already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat is like that: a tiny difference becomes a chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Su Xiao’s first mass battle—he lacked experience, but growing stronger mid-fight was deeply satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen remaining ghouls stared at Su Xiao with pure terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… don’t come closer… we surrender.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ghouls had been broken by his slaughter—they actually wanted to surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle had reached this point—no surrender was possible. It was either you die, or I live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao charged forward with his blade. A chorus of screams and the wet tearing of flesh followed—then silence fell over the auction hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Please recommend and collect,)\u003C\u002Fp>",1206,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d47a0220c8f7b3707532e0bd6e17f66ec61763e45edfd98323d204b2d0f07e64","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-56","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-54",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
