Chapter 732: Beat Back

It had to be said that the little fatty's survival ability was strong. After hard-resisting six slashes from Su Xiao, he still showed no signs of falling, and not only that, he even had the ability to dodge or block with the shield.

Su Xiao held the sword and slashed towards the little fatty. The little fatty immediately blocked with that golden-quality shield. He tilted the shield slightly to deflect the force. This was an experienced main tank.

Su Xiao and the little fatty fought head-on, while No-Umbrella Brother upgraded from a 'dog-skin plaster' to a 'shit-stirring stick', 'disgusting' the little fatty enough.

No-Umbrella Brother actually didn't do anything, he just found opportunities to 'snatch' the shield in the little fatty's hand. The little fatty hadn't used any skills or equipment-attached abilities for several minutes, which made No-Umbrella Brother even more unscrupulous.

Su Xiao slashed at the shield a few times and kicked the front of the shield with a straight kick.

Bang.

The little fatty held the shield and retreated a step, struggling in his heart. He hesitated whether to activate emergency escape means. If he used that, even if he could leave the Holy Grail World, Stein might skin him alive.

While the little fatty was struggling internally, No-Umbrella Brother had already pounced forward without any defense, two mechanical gauntlets grabbing the little fatty's shield.

"You..."

The little fatty glared, and what greeted him was No-Umbrella Brother's unscrupulous loud laughter.

Creak~

The mechanical gauntlets grabbed the shield, and Su Xiao naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity.

Qing Gang Ying energy surged on Checking Zhan Long Shan. He held the sword with both hands and slashed out with all his strength.

"Hmph~"

The long sword slashed down, and the little fatty let out a miserable groan. This sword slashed on the little fatty's right arm, which he used to hold the shield.

Checking Zhan Long Shan sank into the little fatty's upper arm, penetrated the muscles, and slashed directly on the bone, even cutting the bone in half. Compared to Checking Zhan Long Shan's 32 points of sharpness, the little fatty, who hadn't opened his ultimate move, clearly couldn't withstand this kind of slash. High-sharpness weapons slashing flesh was too refreshing.

With a snap, Checking Zhan Long Shan stopped. The little fatty was already pale. Just when he thought the sword had stopped, Su Xiao's left leg raised high and stepped on the back of Checking Zhan Long Shan's blade.

Rip, an arm holding a shield fell to the ground. The arm of the Tier 3 main tank, the little fatty, was severed!

Facing this desperate situation, the little fatty wasn't panicked. He had forgotten how many times his hands and feet had been severed.

The shield on the ground disappeared. This was remotely stored into the storage space by the little fatty. I don't know how the little fatty did it.

At the same time as putting away the shield, a potion appeared in the little fatty's hand. He threw the potion directly into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it along with the medicine bottle.

Granulation tissue surged at the little fatty's severed arm. He actually had a potion to restore severed limbs. The main tank of a large adventure group was simply rich and oily.

Just as the little fatty was waiting for his arm to regenerate, his expression suddenly changed. He looked sideways at the severed arm, and an energy shackle had already attached itself to the wound of the severed arm.

Supreme Blade Effect 2: Ten Thousand Swords Mountain (Passive), Sharpness +10. If the slash causes a limb-severing effect on the enemy, the enemy will be unable to restore the severed limb through surgery, potions, skills, bloodline abilities, etc., for anything below Tier 4. (This ability evolved from 'Iron-Cutting (Passive)'.)

It was Checking Zhan Long Shan's ability. Clearly, the little fatty's potion didn't reach Tier 4 recovery power, so this arm couldn't be restored.

Discovering this point, the little fatty held the shield with his left hand and confronted Su Xiao and the others, and contacted Huang Fen again.

"Boss Huang Fen, how long until you arrive? I... can't hold on for much longer."

Outside Fuyuki City, Huang Fen, who was riding a magma beast, paused.

"Five minutes."

At this time, Huang Fen's face didn't look very good. He had already guessed what was going on. Although Butterfly usually flattered him, he had long seen through the other party's ambition. Huang Fen understood human hearts very well and wasn't as silent or obedient as he appeared.

"Boss Huang Fen... sorry."

Receiving this message from the little fatty, Huang Fen was a bit angry, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He seemed to be laughing.

"Is this your choice?"

Huang Fen closed the team information and accelerated his travel speed.

On the other side, the little fatty, who had one arm severed, laughed miserably.

"Of course I thought it through. Compared to dying here, Stein's anger doesn't count for much. At most, I'll deduct attributes and quit the group. I am a main tank. I eat bitterness and suffer fatigue on weekdays, and I don't get many benefits. If Blood Gate doesn't keep me, I have my own place to stay."

The little fatty looked at Su Xiao rushing over, and he made a decision.

Zing.

A pale blue sword glow slashed towards the little fatty. After Blade Master was upgraded to Lv. 30, the size, sharpness, and flight speed of the sword glow had significantly increased. Now, the sword glow of an ordinary slash was three meters long.

The sword glow slashed towards the little fatty's throat, but the little fatty didn't dodge or evade, and even put away the shield.

The sword glow flew past, and the little fatty was unscathed. The space beside him was extremely unstable, and ripples of space spread.

Seeing this anomaly, Su Xiao and No-Umbrella Brother retreated immediately. In Reincarnation Paradise, things that weren't understood basically represented danger.

"Don't think it was you who defeated me. I lost to greed. You are called Bai Ye, right? We will meet in the Tier 3 world, provided that before I reach Tier 4, you can reach Tier 3."

There was no hatred in the little fatty's eyes. Fighting was a common occurrence for him. On the contrary, he recognized Su Xiao's strength. Although his strength was suppressed, he was a cut above ordinary Tier 2 Contractors. The enemy didn't choose to fight him head-on, but reasonably used abilities to weaken him, thereby achieving victory.

Just like No-Umbrella Brother, No-Umbrella Brother's strength was much worse than the little fatty's, but No-Umbrella Brother didn't care about this point, instead using his own characteristic of being resistant to beating to entangle him.

"Slashing to devour the enemy's mana, troublesome ability."

The little fatty smiled honestly and looked at the severed arm.

"I'll remember you, Bai Ye of the Sword Method."

Seeing the little fatty's expression, Su Xiao's brows furrowed. A pulse spread from his sleeve. He activated the brand effect of the Storm Wind Trench Coat, interrupting space-type abilities.

The pale-gold pulse swept past, and the space fluctuation around the little fatty stopped for a moment, but it only stopped for a moment.

The little fatty's body gradually became transparent. This was a sign of returning to Reincarnation Paradise.

"That cheap kid over there."

The little fatty raised his chin at No-Umbrella Brother, and No-Umbrella Brother was slightly puzzled.

"A qualified main tank wouldn't use mouth-cannon to pull hatred..."

The voice gradually faded, and the little fatty disappeared. At the same time the little fatty disappeared, Huang Fen's body near Fuyuki City also began to become transparent. The three of them used props to enter this derived world. Once someone chose to return to Reincarnation Paradise, it was a forced return for everyone.

There was no emotion on Huang Fen's face. He was acting according to Stein's orders. As for whether it succeeded or not, he actually didn't care. The things Huang Fen craved were very special, so special that once exposed, Stein would kill him immediately.

After the Tier 3 main tank, the little fatty, disappeared, Su Xiao and No-Umbrella Brother looked at each other.

"We... won?"

Just as a smile bloomed on No-Umbrella Brother's face, the injuries on his face made him gasp. He didn't feel pain during the battle, but after the battle ended, it was heart-piercing pain.

"No, there is one more."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, the hint from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【Announcement: All high-tier Contractors in the derived world have returned. Due to unknown factors leading to increased difficulty, reward all Contractors in this derived world with 5% of World Source.】

Receiving this hint, Su Xiao was a bit surprised. He had thought that he would have to hide and dodge during the subsequent stay time. He wasn't even prepared to continue completing the main mission. If he completed the main mission under Huang Fen's nose, that would be seeking death. Now it seemed that the main mission could continue.

Butterfly and the little fatty weren't considered front-line combat personnel, but it was these two who nearly killed Su Xiao and No-Umbrella Brother. Tier 3 and Tier 2 were a gap of one tier.

If Su Xiao couldn't defeat Butterfly, No-Umbrella Brother might have already become a corpse.

The threat disappeared, and No-Umbrella Brother smiled even more happily.

"Bai Ye, why am I a bit dizzy?"

Brother No-Umbrella shook his head; Su Xiao had already appeared as a double image in his eyes.

Crack, crack, crack~

Tree sprouts grew on Brother No-Umbrella's abdomen. The catheter inserted into his abdomen had already snapped during the battle. Now that Brother No-Umbrella relaxed his spirit, the Hashirama cells immediately erupted.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao rushed to Brother No-Umbrella's side. Brother No-Umbrella felt a sudden chill in his abdomen, followed by heart-wrenching pain.

Puchi, Checking Zhan Long Shan pierced through Brother No-Umbrella's lower abdomen, and at the same time, a medicine bottle was stuffed into his mouth.

Su Xiao pushed up Brother No-Umbrella's chin; the medicine bottle in Brother No-Umbrella's mouth shattered, and his eyes began to roll back.

"Even if you're going to kill the donkey after the millstone, you don't have to be this fast, at least... give me a drink of water."

Brother No-Umbrella's voice was somewhat slurred. He slowly collapsed. Qing Gang Ying energy rampaged within his body, causing him damage while also suppressing the Hashirama cells in his body. As for that bottle of medicine, it was called No. 1 Medicine; after drinking it, one could rapidly recover 85% of their health and continue to recover health for the next 30 seconds, 2 points per second, and recover a certain degree of internal organ injuries.

Su Xiao squatted down and examined the fallen Brother No-Umbrella.

"Looks like another surgery is needed. Should I try separating the Hashirama cells this time? Forget it, he's too weak and could kick the bucket at any moment. After all, we've fought side-by-side; I won't let you die so miserably."

Su Xiao picked up Brother No-Umbrella and walked into the distance. Although Brother No-Umbrella's breathing was weak, he wouldn't die in the short term.

Even villains have a bottom line. Su Xiao's bottom line is that he will not swing his blade to kill a teammate who was fighting side-by-side with him the second before. Stabbing in the back was never his style of doing things—of course, stabbing an enemy in the back doesn't count.
