Chapter 715: Recruitment?

Thud, air waves spread, and the muscle curved blade smashed onto the counter-attack shield.

Su Xiao's legs sank deep into the ground, and the ground shattered instantly. He just wanted to lift his hand to slash, but a huge force surged from the muscle curved blade.

Su Xiao was a bit surprised. Orphan of Resentment - Shus's slashing force had already been resisted by him. Where did this second huge force come from?

Su Xiao didn't have time to think too much. He had already been slapped away by the muscle curved blade.

Bang.

Su Xiao, protected within the counter-attack shield, crashed into the wall. Because there was a barrier, the wall was unusually rigid. This wasn't a good thing; it would cause him impact injuries.

Su Xiao just landed, and before he could stand up, Orphan of Resentment - Shus had already rushed forward again, the muscle curved blade in its hand held high, in a posture to smash Su Xiao flat.

Zzz~

The sound of the Boundary Breaking Line shrinking came, and the Boundary Breaking Line wrapped around Orphan of Resentment - Shus's throat, which made Orphan of Resentment - Shus's action of swinging the muscle curved blade freeze.

Taking this opportunity, Su Xiao slapped the ground to stand up and jumped away from Orphan of Resentment - Shus.

Orphan of Resentment - Shus lowered its head to look at the Boundary Breaking Line that wrapped it, and its arms gradually exerted force.

Crack, crack...

The Boundary Breaking Line snapped and fell at Orphan of Resentment - Shus's feet. About one-third of the length of the Boundary Breaking Line was scrapped.

Su Xiao put away the remaining two-thirds of the Boundary Breaking Line. The enemy he was facing this time was so strong that it was shocking, but it hadn't reached the level of making people despair.

First, Orphan of Resentment - Shus couldn't break the counter-attack shield in one blow, and its speed wasn't to the extent that Su Xiao couldn't react at all.

Now the most important thing was whether Su Xiao could hurt Orphan of Resentment - Shus. If the other party's defense was extremely strong, then Su Xiao basically didn't have to fight, and he would be hammered into a meat patty in less than half an hour.

Blood dripped from the corner of Su Xiao's mouth, and he began to actively approach Orphan of Resentment - Shus.

Discovering Su Xiao's action, Shus was clearly a bit surprised. It hadn't seen such a fearless human for a long time, so it rushed toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao's pupils constricted slightly, trying his best to capture Shus's movements.

Boom!

The muscle curved blade smashed down. Even with the counter-attack shield defense, Su Xiao's knees began to bend.

"Mortal, kneel!"

Orphan of Resentment - Shus gripped the muscle curved blade tightly with both hands, wanting to use brute force to press Su Xiao to his knees on the ground.

Finding this situation, Su Xiao immediately turned sideways, and the counter-attack shield around him spread out. Without the blocking of the counter-attack shield, that muscle curved blade smashed down.

Boom, gravel splashed. Every strike of Orphan of Resentment - Shus was powerful and heavy, enough to take a person's life.

Taking advantage of the gap when the muscle curved blade smashed down, Su Xiao slashed forward.

The long sword tore through the air and appeared instantly in front of Orphan of Resentment - Shus, which immediately tilted its head.

Clang.

Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan slashed past Shus's skull, slashing off a large piece of skull.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's eyes were shining. The enemy's defense wasn't as perverted as imagined, so this was fightable.

Slashed by Su Xiao, Shus stopped on the spot. It looked at the piece of skull next to its feet, and the playfulness in its eyes disappeared.

If Su Xiao was a stray cat struggling on the verge of death in Shus's eyes before, now he was a hungry wolf capable of taking a bite out of it.

"Mere mor..."

Before Orphan of Resentment - Shus could finish speaking, Su Xiao had already rushed forward.

This time, Su Xiao withdrew the counter-attack shield around him. Although the counter-attack shield could block the enemy's attack, it would also increase the enemy's attack area, especially when facing an enemy using a blunt weapon.

Blunt weapons to some extent restrained the counter-attack shield. Every time the counter-attack shield was smashed, Su Xiao would suffer shock injuries.

There was already an aura ability eroding 5% of his health per minute. If he were shocked a few more times, Su Xiao wouldn't be able to persist for even five minutes.

Rather than waiting for chronic death, Su Xiao chose to go all-in. He actively withdrew his defense.

Su Xiao actively approached Shus. Shus's gaze seemed to be that its scheme had succeeded. The muscle curved blade in its hand wasn't just a blunt weapon; this thing could devour the enemy's flesh and blood, provided it attacked the enemy directly, so it only needed to hit the enemy once, and the battle would be declared over.

Shus was still using its original move, lifting the muscle curved blade in its hand and smashing it down.

This time, Su Xiao didn't stare at that muscle curved blade, but stared fixedly at Shus. The speed of the muscle curved blade was too fast, and using the naked eye to capture it was unwise. He began to use perception to warn him.

The muscle curved blade smashed down, and Su Xiao's footsteps shifted sideways.

Boom.

The muscle curved blade smashed onto the ground, and Su Xiao barely dodged it. His windbreaker was blown by the wind force.

Although it looked very dashing, Su Xiao was actually dancing on the tip of a knife. Judging from the force of the muscle curved blade, being hit once would mean death, and this thing was likely attached with other abilities.

The Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan in Su Xiao's hand slashed past Shus's ribs. With a sizzle, a not-shallow slash mark appeared on those ribs, even splashing sparks, and Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy invaded Shus's body.

Shus let out a muffled groan. Judging from the angry gaze, Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy hurt it significantly.

Having succeeded in one strike, Su Xiao retreated.

Clearly, Su Xiao's choice to withdraw his defense, rely on perception to dodge Shus's attacks, and then counterattack when he had the chance was correct, although the risk of doing so was extremely high.

Roaring sounds constantly rang out in the Main Offering Hall. Shus, holding the muscle curved blade, chased Su Xiao and smashed, in a posture of not stopping until one died.

And Su Xiao tried his best to dodge Shus's attacks. If he had a chance, he would counterattack; if he didn't have a chance, he would continue to dodge. Su Xiao, who was pressing and fighting before, actually gained the upper hand for a while.

Was this really the case? Not really. As long as Shus hit Su Xiao once, the battle would be declared over, and with the erosion of the aura ability, Su Xiao's health was dropping faster than Shus's.

The health in Reincarnation Paradise wasn't the health in a game. In a game, even if the health was only 1% left, it wouldn't affect the state. Three minutes after the start of the battle, Su Xiao, whose health was only 42% left, clearly slowed down, and severe pain constantly came from all parts of his body. That was caused by the erosion of the aura.

Su Xiao had at least dozens of wounds on his body. These were all scratched by gravel. The gravel hit by Shus's attack had the power of no less than a rifle bullet.

Hoo~

The muscle scimitar smashed down. Su Xiao leaned over to dodge it. Just as he wanted to counterattack, a sharp pain came from his chest, and his movement to strike also paused.

Oh no!

Su Xiao's pupils constricted. This momentary mistake could cost him his life.

Shus also noticed Su Xiao's mistake. It directly let go of the muscle curved blade that had run out of force and hugged Su Xiao with its bone arms with a wingspan of three meters.

If hugged, with Shus's superhuman strength, Su Xiao would basically be dead.

This hug had a large range, and there was no room to dodge at all. At this critical moment, Su Xiao constructed a barrel-shaped energy shield with 300 points of intensity around him.

Bang, Shus hugged the energy shield around Su Xiao, and Su Xiao leaped up on the spot, leaping out from the gap above the barrel-shaped energy shield.

Pale white bone spurs grew from Shus's arms and chest. These bone spurs were extremely sharp and instantly pierced the energy shield into thousands of holes. This was one of Shus's skills, with extremely strong power, but the cooldown time was very long.

With a crack, the energy shield shattered, and the bone spurs growing on Shus's body began to fall off.

Su Xiao escaped a disaster with a cicada-shedding move, the cost being the consumption of 300 points of mana.

"You... not bad."

Shus picked up the muscle curved blade on the ground and scanned the slash marks on its body's bones. It nodded.

"Human, your strength has been recognized by me. I will give you a chance to pledge allegiance to me, using your future actions to make up for your previous mistakes."

Just as Shus finished speaking, Su Xiao actually received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.

【Hint: The Hunter has been recruited by the 'Lord-level biological entity' Orphan of Resentment - Shus. If you agree to the recruitment, you will become the slave of Orphan of Resentment - Shus in this derived world.】

【Hint: If you agree to the recruitment, the completion degree of the Talent Awakening Mission will drop significantly.】

Since the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared, it meant that this was a chance to survive, a chance to survive by bending and yielding.

"I refuse."

Su Xiao waved the long sword in his hand. Today, there were only two results: the enemy dies or he himself dies. ===== CHAPTER 716 =====
