Chapter 632: Ability that Leaves Feitan Speechless

"Not bad, hehe."

Feitan gave another sinister laugh and flipped backward.

After the initial exchange, Su Xiao understood some of Feitan's background. Feitan belonged to the type with extremely fast speed, but neither attack power nor defense was strong.

When dealing with this kind of enemy, one must pay attention to defense, otherwise, it is easy to capsize in the gutter.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the energy shield in front of him. This energy shield consumed 400 points of mana, and its defensive power was strong enough to make Feitan doubt life. Without seeing any movement from him, that energy shield, four meters wide and four meters high, split apart, forming dozens of hexagonal energy shields the size of basketballs.

These dozens of small energy shields floated around his body. Because they were hexagonal, they could be spliced into a circular shape, wrapping Su Xiao inside. These energy shields were like carvings made of crystal, crystal clear, reflecting light in the somewhat pitch-black basement.

Whoosh~

Feitan rushed to Su Xiao's front at high speed and stabbed Su Xiao with a blade.

With a clink, the hexagonal energy shield blocked Feitan's straight stab. What happened next surprised Feitan.

Except for the hexagonal energy shield that blocked Feitan's stab, the other energy shields spread out toward the surroundings the moment Feitan's attack fell, leaving only one hexagonal energy shield blocking in front of Su Xiao. The reason for this was to block the enemy's attack without affecting Su Xiao's counterattack.

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand slashed toward Feitan. Although his movement speed wasn't fast, his blade speed was fast.

Feitan stepped on the ground and jumped backward nimbly.

Feitan, who jumped back several meters, landed, and a "red line" appeared on his lower abdomen, fresh blood soaking out slowly.

Feitan was slashed by Su Xiao, almost disemboweled. It was just that Feitan's speed was too fast, and this slash only passed shallowly. Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy invaded his body, Feitan's eyes widened, and his pupils trembled for a moment before recovering.

With Feitan's willpower, Su Xiao didn't expect the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy to have other effects. Causing true damage to Feitan was enough: 130 points per slash + 9% of lost mana in true damage. With Feitan's physique, he couldn't hold on for too long.

Shizuku and Franklin, who were retreating, saw this scene. Franklin's pace gradually slowed down; he prepared to help.

"Feitan is injured. Should we go help him?"

Shizuku also stopped.

Feitan noticed Franklin and Shizuku stopping from the corner of his eye, and he immediately spoke: "I'm in the mood. Give me half an hour."

"Fine."

Franklin shook his head somewhat helplessly and disappeared with Shizuku into the hole leading to the distance.

Boom!

The roaring sound continued, and Su Xiao and Feitan launched a fierce battle in the basement.

Feitan's speed could only be described as fast as a ghost. He used his speed advantage to run around the field, trying to suppress Su Xiao with it.

But Feitan couldn't suppress Su Xiao. Su Xiao's movement speed wasn't fast, but his blade speed wasn't weaker than Feitan's, and movement speed not being fast was relative.

After taking a slash from Su Xiao, Feitan clearly knew that he must not be careless. His body was still somewhat numb, a large amount of Nen energy had been devoured, and his body was faintly aching.

Nen energy being devoured was a nightmare for Feitan. His ultimate move "Rising Sun" could create a miniature sun. The more severely Feitan was injured before using "Rising Sun," the higher the temperature of the miniature sun.

But using the ultimate move "Rising Sun" required Nen energy. If the Nen energy was devoured, then even if Feitan was chopped into a human stick, it would be useless. Without Nen energy, he was dead, and he couldn't counter-kill at all.

Clang, clang, clang...

Su Xiao and Feitan slashed at each other a dozen times in an instant before separating. Sparks flew, and the figures of the two had already disappeared in the eyes of the underworld members. They could only see sparks splashing from time to time in the basement, accompanied by air explosions.

Zing!

Blade light flashed, and the high-speed running Feitan suddenly stopped, making a bridge-like movement, and the blade light flew past his nose tip.

Su Xiao stepped forward quickly, the long blade in his hand reversed, and he stabbed toward Feitan's lower abdomen.

Feitan disappeared instantly, Su Xiao stabbed into the air, the long blade sank deep into the ground. At the same time as stabbing into the air, Su Xiao tightened the Boundary Breaking Line, but unfortunately, the Boundary Breaking Line was also dodged by Feitan at high speed.

Feitan wouldn't be beaten passively, and he immediately fought back, slashing at Su Xiao several times.

A series of crisp sounds came, and Feitan's several slashes all hit the hexagonal energy shields around Su Xiao. These energy shields floated around Su Xiao, sometimes forming a circular shape, sometimes separating, which could be described as blocking wherever needed.

Several slashes were blocked, and Feitan's movements inevitably appeared to have a momentary stiffness. Su Xiao certainly wouldn't miss this kind of opportunity.

Feinting a slash, just as Feitan made a defensive move, Su Xiao immediately changed the attack trajectory. Feitan wasn't a soft persimmon, seemingly having guessed it long ago, and made corresponding countermeasures.

When Su Xiao quickly made six fake attacks, Feitan finally showed a flaw. The long blade slashed down, and after blood droplets scattered in the air, Feitan disappeared. Su Xiao made too many fake attacks, giving Feitan breathing time, and he only suffered minor injuries.

Combat isn't just about brute force; wisdom and experience are equally important. Su Xiao and Feitan both knew this.

The Qiyuezhe in the Ten Elders' camp nearby were all stunned. These dozen people didn't have the slightest intention of approaching; it was simply too dangerous in that basement.

"Is this guy really a Qiyuezhe? Can a Second Tier Qiyuezhe really be this strong?"

A Qiyuezhe girl hid in the distance, secretly opening the recording function. She had already thought of the title for this recording: A ruthless person duels Feitan!

"I recognize this guy, he's the one who dueled the Leader-level creature."

Su Xiao and Feitan's fighting style was different from these Qiyuezhe's fighting style. It wasn't about who had stronger power, higher agility, or more skills.

Su Xiao and Feitan competed in power, speed, combat skills, terrain judgment, grasp of timing, combat wisdom, and guessing the enemy's psychology, thereby judging the enemy's tactics.

"Annoying ability."

Feitan wiped the fresh blood on his neck. A gap had been slashed in his collar, and from that gap, one could see him smiling.

The "annoying ability" in Feitan's mouth was the hexagonal energy shields around Su Xiao.

When Su Xiao initially defended against Feitan's attack, he constructed an energy shield with a strength of 400 points, which was the strongest energy shield he could create.

The limit size of the energy shield was 4 meters wide and 4 meters high. This was the largest energy shield he could construct. The upgrade of the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying level could increase the size of the energy shield.

The reason he consumed 400 points of mana to construct this level of energy shield was because he had recently developed a new way to use the energy shield.

Su Xiao discovered that the energy shield wasn't unchangeable after construction. After injecting a trace of mana, he could change the shape of the energy shield or divide one energy shield into dozens, or even hundreds of pieces.

Therefore, the strength of these dozens of hexagonal energy shields around him was 400 points. It would be a ghost if Feitan could pierce through them.

Moreover, these dozens of energy shields were divided from one energy shield. They had energy links between them and were a whole. It was impossible to pierce one piece individually unless the attack strength was enough to pierce all dozens of energy shields, which made the defensive power even more terrifying.

Not only that, after the enemy's attack was blocked by the energy shield, except for the energy shield that blocked the enemy's attack, the energy shields in other positions would spread out, so as not to affect Su Xiao's attack.

What a disgusting ability. The enemy couldn't hurt Su Xiao, but he could counterattack the enemy by taking advantage of the flaws produced when the enemy attacked.

Feitan was slashed by Su Xiao twice in total, all because of these dozens of hexagonal energy shields. However, this ability wasn't without flaws. There was no perfect ability in the world.

High consumption (400 mana, energy links formed after dividing energy shields with strength below 400 are unstable), short duration (10 minutes).

Considering the characteristics of this hexagonal energy shield, Su Xiao named this ability "Counter-Attack Shield," counterattacking at the moment the enemy attacks. ===== CHAPTER 633 =====
