Chapter 742: Bad News

A black figure sped through the street. A few seconds later, another figure swept past.

Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces), who was running away, was very confused. He was confused about why the enemy could track his traces and chase him so far. He had clearly used Presence Concealment.

Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces), who had been chased for several blocks, was very helpless. He had witnessed Su Xiao's close combat ability. At this time, being caught up meant certain death. Compared to close combat with Su Xiao, Hundred Faces would rather go assassinate the Heroic King.

As a Heroic Spirit, Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces) actually didn't even have the ability to fight Su Xiao head-on. Although it was a bit shameful, there was no other way.

Su Xiao was a Berserker class. Although he was a fake, this meant his physical fitness could rival the Berserker class.

And Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces) was an Assassin class, specializing in concealment and assassination. Now that he was locked onto by Su Xiao using the Apostle's Eye, being this miserable was a matter of course.

While running, Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces) split into a personality clone. This personality clone looked very similar to Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces)'s main body.

After the personality clone appeared, the two separated left and right to flee. Although it could mislead Su Xiao, Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces)'s speed dropped significantly.

Su Xiao, who was chasing, immediately sensed the situation in front. The red figure changed from one to two, and the speed dropped sharply.

This situation was not the first or second time. Although Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces)'s speed was not slow, facing Su Xiao's A+ Agility attribute, being able to escape this far was entirely relying on personality clones to die.

Su Xiao quickly chased toward one of the Hundred Faces. At a distance of about ten meters, a pale blue blade light slashed out.

Clang.

The blade light slashed toward the back of that Hundred Face. If this were a personality clone, it would definitely stop to block Su Xiao to delay time.

Unexpectedly, the speed of that Hundred Face suddenly accelerated, and he jumped up to dodge the blade light. This was the main body. As long as the personality clone was deactivated, the main body would have this situation where the speed suddenly accelerated.

Su Xiao stomped on the ground under his feet, and a large pit appeared under his feet.

Swoosh~

Su Xiao's figure disappeared. His speed was not this fast originally, but using Soru was different.

In just an instant, Su Xiao had rushed behind Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces).

"This amazing speed again..."

Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces)'s expression under the skull mask was a bit helpless. At this moment, he couldn't even sense where the enemy was.

Pfft.

Blood splashed. Hundred Faces only felt his thigh go numb, his body began to tilt forward, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.

A severed leg rolled far away on the road. Zhan Long Shan cutting through the body of a Third-Tier top-level main tank was indeed a bit laborious, but if cutting an enemy of the same tier, it was like cutting melons and vegetables.

"Why don't you run anymore?"

Su Xiao stopped not far from Hundred Faces. While speaking, he slashed out a blade light. Pfft, the only remaining leg of Hundred Faces was cut off, and he could only lie on the ground.

"You..."

Hundred Faces supported the ground with one hand, intending to get up. Su Xiao didn't say a word and slashed off the arm Hundred Faces was using to support the ground.

Hundred Faces let out a muffled groan. The arm supporting the ground was cut off. His skull mask hit the ground, and cracks appeared on the white skull mask.

"If you want to kill, then kill. This kind of meaningless torture..."

Pfft.

Hundred Faces' other arm was cut off by Su Xiao. Hundred Faces was an assassin in his previous life, so his pain tolerance was very strong.

One was cutting off people's hands and feet like cutting melons and vegetables, and the other was not changing his expression when his hands and feet were cut off. This scene was very cruel, but it had a kind of violent aesthetic. This was the real battle, where both sides were relentless.

Behind the glass window on the second floor of a luxury house across the street, a little girl witnessed this scene.

The little girl had twin tails and was peeking at this scene through the gap in the curtains. Because she was about to sleep, she was wearing small panties and a vest. The brutal scene on the street clearly scared the little girl. Tears were already swirling in her eyes, and her slender little legs were trembling uncontrollably.

The little girl's mother walked into the room quietly. This was a beautiful young woman. She also saw the scene on the street from the first floor, so she hurried upstairs to find her daughter to prevent her daughter from having an accident.

The beautiful young woman held her daughter's mouth and eyes from behind. The little girl was scared to the point of collapse, her young body began to struggle, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Woo~"

The beautiful young woman hurriedly whispered in her daughter's ear: "Rin, don't make a sound, don't."

The beautiful young woman's voice was trembling. She was also very scared, scared of the brutal criminal tens of meters away who would cut off people's hands and feet if they didn't agree. But for her daughter, she could only be strong. Hearing her mother's voice, the little girl whose eyes were covered stopped struggling.

Hundred Faces, who had become a human stick, lay on the road. Su Xiao was not intentionally torturing the opponent; he needed to devour the opponent's Heroic Spirit energy. Before devouring, he needed the opponent to lose the ability to resist.

Blue smoke drifted on Su Xiao's left arm. His left hand grabbed toward Hundred Faces' head.

Lifting Hundred Faces with one hand, the blue smoke gradually wrapped Hundred Faces inside. Ten seconds later, the Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared.

【You killed Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces)】

【Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces) is one of the seven Heroic Spirits participating in this Holy Grail War, obtaining 7.3% of the World Source, now obtaining a total of 77.5% of the World Source.】

【Your talent "Soul Eater" is activated, permanently increasing 16 points of Mana, now having 2274 points of Mana.】

【You obtained Heroic Spirit Box · Dark Purple (Heroic Spirit Box: Can randomly extract any skill or Noble Phantasm of this Heroic Spirit).】

Under the decomposition of the Devouring Core, Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces) disappeared, turning into Heroic Spirit energy. The golden Heroic Spirit energy entered Su Xiao's palm, and through his arm as a channel, entered the Devouring Core near his heart.

The precisely structured Devouring Core began to run, starting to refine, purify, and finally convert this Heroic Spirit energy into a colorless energy.

When the first wisp of colorless energy drifted out from the Devouring Core, the Qing Gang Ying energy in Su Xiao's body instantly swarmed up and absorbed that colorless energy completely.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao opened his eyes. The Heroic Spirit energy had been completely converted and absorbed.

【Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 29.】

Devouring Hundred Faces didn't allow the Qing Gang Ying ability to be upgraded to Lv. 30, but it was close. Devouring one Heroic Spirit could increase the Qing Gang Ying skill by about 1.5 levels.

Various values of the Qing Gang Ying ability had slightly increased, and the consumed Mana had increased a bit, but the amount of Mana burned from the enemy had also increased, and the true damage caused had also increased.

Just as Su Xiao was about to close the skill list, he suddenly discovered that the awakening degree of Qing Ying Wang had increased from 2% to 3%.

Although the increase was not large, this was a good sign. After all, he had no clue about the awakening of Qing Ying Wang.

Su Xiao guessed that for a big move ability like Qing Ying Wang, once awakened, it would be independent, becoming an independent skill, rather than one of the subsidiary abilities of Qing Gang Ying. The reason why it was in the skill branch of Qing Gang Ying now was likely because the Qing Gang Ying ability was a prerequisite for mastering Qing Ying Wang.

Picking up the Dark Purple quality Heroic Spirit Box from the ground, this thing looked like a small drawer no matter how you looked at it, just exquisitely made.

After Su Xiao solved Hassan-i-Sabbah (Hundred Faces), there were four Heroic Spirits left alive. Of course, this did not include Su Xiao himself.

The Berserker class Heroic Spirit Lancelot had already been hacked to death by Su Xiao, which meant that there were already three Heroic Spirit souls in the Holy Grail.

When there were about five Heroic Spirit souls in the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail would initially descend. That would be Su Xiao's opportunity to complete the main quest. He only needed to touch the Holy Grail; he didn't need to obtain that thing at all.

Finding heroes was not an easy task. Opportunities like today were rare. What gave Su Xiao a headache was that among the remaining four Heroic Spirits, the Masters of two Heroic Spirits were old schemers, such as Emiya Kiritsugu and Tohsaka Tokiomi, who were people who could not appear in the open.

Mentioning Tohsaka Tokiomi, Su Xiao suddenly remembered, where did that guy Matou Kariya go? Did he go to hammer Tokiomi? Shouldn't be, Tokiomi had been hiding in the dark. With Matou Kariya's current IQ, it was unlikely he could find the other party.

When Su Xiao was confused, the phone on his body rang. Only one person knew this number, so he answered the phone directly.

"Priest, I'm a bit busy now..."

"The time... I can... persist... is not much. Come... to the chur..."

With a click, the other end of the phone fell into dead silence.

"Priest? Priest?"

No one answered. Su Xiao lowered his eyes. The priest had likely met with an accident. The other party had once gifted him a weapon, and that weapon saved Su Xiao's life at a critical moment.

The priest's last sentence was "Come... to the chur...", which was likely asking Su Xiao to go to the church. ===== CHAPTER 743 =====

No one answered. Su Xiao lowered his gaze; it was highly likely that something had happened to the priest. The other party had once gifted him a weapon, and that weapon had saved Su Xiao's life at a critical moment.

The priest's final words were "Come... to the church...", which most likely meant for Su Xiao to go to the church.
