Chapter 666: Bet One Minute

Su Xiao stood up from the circular pit on the road. Just after standing up, two figures appeared not far away.

The street lights were flickering. A stray cat poked its head to look at the road, and its pupils contracted in the dark night to capture the faint light.

Sensing other creatures nearby, Illumi turned his head to look at the stray cat.

"Hiss~"

The stray cat's fangs bared, its tail puffed up, and it turned and fled into the depths of the gap between the houses.

"Strange."

Illumi looked at the stray cat that fled far away.

"What?"

Chrollo looked at Illumi in confusion.

"Nothing."

Illumi turned to look at Su Xiao. He clearly perceived that Su Xiao's strength was not weak. If he was distracted during the battle, he might die.

The counter-attack shields floated beside Su Xiao. Under normal circumstances, the counter-attack shields can last for 10 minutes, but under the joint attack of Illumi and Chrollo, being able to maintain it for 5 minutes is already a miracle.

The counter-attack shield needs energy to maintain, and it is not some magical ability. If the energy is exhausted, no matter how strong the defense is, it will shatter.

"This thing seems difficult to deal with."

Illumi looked at the counter-attack shields beside Su Xiao. He and Chrollo's attacks didn't leave any trace on this thing, which made him a little surprised.

"From the appearance, this is a defensive ability, but no matter how strong the ability is, it has its weaknesses. Perhaps the existence time is not long, or the energy is limited. I will attract his attention, you find an opening, and kill him with one blow."

"Good."

Pins appeared between Illumi's fingers. He is an Manipulation Nen ability user. These pins are the antennas for his ability. As long as the enemy is stabbed by this thing, even if the enemy is strong, they will be at his mercy.

Chrollo and Su Xiao confronted each other head-on, and Illumi took a side step to bypass Su Xiao's back. Flanking from front and back is the best tactic.

Su Xiao looked at Illumi who was bypassing him. He knew the other party's ability. If he was stabbed by that kind of pin, he would be dead.

"Bet one minute."

A light blue light flashed in Su Xiao's eyes.

Hum~

Blue light flickered on the dozens of counter-attack shields, and blue meridians appeared on them. All the counter-attack shields became crystal clear, like crystal carvings, flashing with brilliant light in the night.

"Wrong."

Illumi subconsciously rushed towards Su Xiao, but unfortunately, he was a step late.

The counter-attack shields beside Su Xiao spread out and actually left within one meter of him. This was a situation that would never have happened before.

The current counter-attack shields can only last for 1 minute. Su Xiao cut off a certain connection between himself and the counter-attack shields.

Su Xiao stepped on the ground, asphalt fragments splashed, and he jumped up, diving towards Chrollo from high altitude.

Chrollo and Illumi were dumbfounded. At the level of the three of them, they would never easily leave the ground. Jumping up and pouncing on the enemy only happens to rookies who have just started fighting.

But Su Xiao just did this. He was in mid-air, holding a long sword, rushing towards Chrollo like a night hawk pouncing on prey.

Chrollo and Illumi looked at each other. Both knew that this might be an opportunity, or it might be a trap.

Illumi estimated the position where Su Xiao would land and appeared at that position, while Chrollo watched the situation nearby.

Nen energy surged out from Illumi's whole body. He made his hands into hand-knife shapes, the blood vessels on his hands bulged, and his fingertips became sharp like claws. This is a physical technique unique to the Zoldyck family.

If injured by Illumi's hand-knife, it is by no means inferior to being injured by a sharp weapon.

Su Xiao, who was deep in mid-air, fell, and the force of the jump had been exhausted. Under the current situation, his body had nowhere to borrow force in mid-air. The landing spot was Illumi and Chrollo. The moment he landed, even if Su Xiao didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

The counter-attack shields floated around Su Xiao. When he gradually approached Illumi, a gas explosion suddenly came from under his feet.

Boom!

Su Xiao suddenly accelerated for the second time in the air and made an incredible turn.

Boom, boom, boom...

Bursts of gas explosions appeared in mid-air. When Su Xiao appeared again, he was already behind Chrollo.

Chrollo's pupils contracted, and there was some incredulity in his eyes.

The bright long sword slashed down, and the blade cut through the air, making a terrifying whimpering sound. This sword was slashed towards Chrollo's spine.

In this instant, Chrollo wanted to materialize 'Bandit's Secret'. He had stolen a teleportation ability before.

Feeling the blade coming from behind, Chrollo finally didn't materialize 'Bandit's Secret' because it was too late.

The long sword was about to slash down, and Chrollo's body leaned forward extremely.

Chrollo not only knows how to steal other people's Nen abilities and use them, but his close-quarters combat ability is also not weak, and his speed ranks in the top three in the Troupe.

Before the long sword slashed down, Chrollo had already barely dodged this sword. Even if the long sword slashed down, it couldn't hurt him.

Squish.

Blood splashed, and a deep wound appeared on Chrollo's back.

Chrollo staggered forward a few steps. The Qing Gang Ying energy that invaded his body made the veins on his forehead bulge. 130 points of true damage + 9% true damage of consumed mana points is not easy to resist.

Although Chrollo has no mana points, the Nen energy in his body is similar in meaning to mana points, and he will also suffer 9% true damage of the consumed Nen amount.

More importantly, the Nen ability in Chrollo's body was extinguished a little, about one-twentieth.

Chrollo turned to look at Su Xiao. He immediately understood why he was still slashed even though he had dodged the enemy's slash range.

At this moment, at the tip of Checking Zhan Long Shan, a small section of light blue energy blade appeared. Checking Zhan Long Shan was one-fifth longer than usual. This small section of energy blade is a combination of sword light and Qing Gang Ying energy.

The energy blade dissipated, and Su Xiao stood in mid-air about one meter above the ground, looking down at the two.

That's right, he was standing in mid-air, and under his feet were a dozen counter-attack shields spliced into one piece.

Under normal circumstances, Su Xiao shares a gravity with the counter-attack shields. If the enemy hits the counter-attack shields hard, he will also be knocked away. Because of this, he cannot stay in the air by stepping on the counter-attack shields, which is as absurd as stepping on the right foot with the left foot.

But what if the counter-attack shields are made independent? Large-area energy shields cannot, but small pieces of counter-attack shields can.

Su Xiao cut off the energy supply of the counter-attack shields. He and the counter-attack shields changed from one individual to two individuals, so that the two sides no longer shared a gravity, thereby realizing stepping on the counter-attack shields for a second jump, or even n-th jump.

This mode is not without restrictions. The counter-attack shields need to consume mana points to hold up, and at most four meters above the ground. If it is higher, the consumption of mana points is extremely terrifying.

And because the energy supply was cut off, the counter-attack shields that could last for ten minutes could only last for one minute, so Su Xiao said before that he wanted to 'bet one minute', which is the current situation.

This is a derivative usage of the counter-attack shields he developed, so he didn't specifically name this move.

Su Xiao has a total of 1683 mana points, and each use of the counter-attack shields consumes 400 mana points, which means he can use the counter-attack shields four times.

However, Su Xiao wants to keep some mana points to open Qing Gang Ying, so he can use the counter-attack shields at most three times. Now he has used it once, and the remaining time of this counter-attack shield is 51 seconds. ===== CHAPTER 667 =====
