Chapter 787

Dark clouds surged in the sky, and muffled thunder roared.

A silver lightning bolt struck the horizon.

Crack!

The lightning dissipated, and the crisp sound of thunder came.

Compared to the mighty power of heaven, the sky-high shouts of battle on the battlefield were more stimulating to people's nerves.

The Counter-Attack Shield around Su Xiao expanded, and the edges of the hexagonal Counter-Attack Shield were shaped into blades. An Orc was slashed and pushed back at the same time.

The Orc who was pushed back just wanted to counterattack when a bright blade light appeared before his eyes, followed by endless darkness.

A cold sensation appeared on his face. Su Xiao, who was fighting in blood, was stunned, then realized the cold sensation on his face was rainwater.

At this moment, Su Xiao was already on the stone slope on the other side of the fortress. Looking out, he was surrounded by Orc or dwarf soldiers.

Tribal soldiers kept pushing forward, and Su Xiao didn't refuse anyone. Any tribal soldier who came within three meters of him, he killed one if one came, and killed a group if a group came.

The shouts of battle and the smell of blood on the battlefield stimulated Su Xiao's nerves. The highland battle had been going on for over an hour. He didn't know how many he had killed; there was simply no time to check the number of war merits.

In the dense crowd, even if there was a momentary lapse in concentration, the Counter-Attack Shield would be shattered by the dense attacks around him. Once the Counter-Attack Shield shattered, if a dozen or even dozens of weapons hit Su Xiao at the same time, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. Once seriously injured, he wouldn't be far from death.

The surroundings were the elite units of the tribal army. Their combat capability wasn't something the ragtag army from the previous battle could compare to. Not to mention their tenacious fighting spirit, just their attack power and defense power would make people shudder.

Su Xiao's feeling was correct. Due to the misleading nature of the previous battle, many Qiyuezhe from the Reincarnation Paradise charged into the tribal army. The outcome didn't need to be guessed; they were soon dismembered by the elite units of the tribal army.

Within the tribal army, the Checking Zhan Long Shan in Su Xiao's hand slashed out streaks of cold light. Horizontal slash, side slash, heavy slash, upward lift—Checking Zhan Long Shan flew up and down, taking the lives of enemy soldiers one by one.

The blood splattered around Su Xiao hadn't stopped for over an hour. He stood in a pool of blood, his gaze exceptionally sharp. His two pupils scanned the surroundings rapidly, locking onto the attacks and flaws of each enemy.

A whistling sound came from the back of his head. Although Su Xiao's gaze couldn't see this attack, he could sense it. A long-handled battle axe was attacking the back of his head.

Because of the Counter-Attack Shield blocking, Su Xiao ignored this attack and instead slashed off the head of an enemy beside him. This was a dwarf who had been using his height "advantage" to harass Su Xiao, making him extremely annoyed.

With a crack, the Counter-Attack Shield around Su Xiao shattered. Although the Counter-Attack Shield was sturdy, it had a limit. In a one-on-one fight, enemies of the same tier as Su Xiao rarely could break the Counter-Attack Shield, let alone after the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability was upgraded to lv. 30, the mana limit for a single Counter-Attack Shield reached 500 points, meaning it could form a 500-point strength Counter-Attack Shield. Even for Su Xiao, it would take quite some time to break a 500-point strength Counter-Attack Shield.

Now he was on the battlefield, surrounded by enemies. The Counter-Attack Shield would take dozens or even hundreds of attacks every second on average. Furthermore, the Orcs or dwarves around were elite units, and their attack power was 2 to 3 times that of ordinary tribal troops.

At the same time the Counter-Attack Shield shattered, the whistling sound at the back of Su Xiao's head became more obvious. This was the long-handled battle axe he had prepared to block with the Counter-Attack Shield. Because the Counter-Attack Shield shattered, the battle axe headed straight for the back of his head.

He must not be hit in the head by this axe. Not to mention whether he would be lobotomized, even if Su Xiao's stamina attribute was high and his muscles and bones were extremely tough, he wouldn't die from this axe, but if he were hit in the head, he would definitely be stunned or dizzy for a moment.

Once stunned or dizzy, the tribal soldiers around Su Xiao would tear him to pieces within 2 seconds.

This was the battlefield. Even with Su Xiao's strength, one mistake would cost him his life on the spot.

The pressure of death made Su Xiao's heart beat faster. The axe blade at the back of his head was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, Su Xiao suddenly had a very strange feeling. His originally calm state of mind changed, becoming hot-blooded.

Boom~

His heart beat. Due to the multiple increases in his constitution attribute, his tough heart contracted, transporting blood to all parts of his body.

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face, revealing his white teeth. The sense of crisis and the pressure of death on the battlefield touched a nerve in him.

At this moment, the axe blade of the long-handled battle axe was no more than 3 cm from the back of Su Xiao's head. The black hair at the back of his head was blown up by the wind brought by the axe.

Strangely, Su Xiao should only have been able to sense this attack from the back of his head, but at this moment, he "saw" it.

He didn't see the specific appearance of the axe, but he "saw" the shape of the axe, the attack trajectory, the landing position, and so on.

Su Xiao bent his left knee, and his upper body shifted to the left.

Whoosh~

The axe flew past his blood-stained head, the sharp blade even cutting off a few strands of black hair.

Just as the axe flew past Su Xiao's temple, his left hand, wrapped in a crimson-gold bracer, reached out, Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy clinging to his hand.

Bang!

Su Xiao's left hand grabbed the end of the axe. There was no blade at this position. He looked sideways and saw an Orc soldier with a dull face standing behind him to the right.

Applying force with his hand, crack, fine cracks appeared on the refined steel battle axe.

With a crack, the refined steel battle axe exploded into metal fragments. At the same time, a full-durability Counter-Attack Shield appeared beside Su Xiao, blocking attacks from all directions.

The Orc who held the long-handled battle axe—no, it should be the Orc holding the iron rod—suddenly felt a huge force coming from his hand. It was Su Xiao who had grabbed the iron rod.

The Orc soldier suddenly felt the world spinning. He immediately let go of the iron rod in his hand, and his body flew toward the high ground.

In mid-air, the Orc soldier breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally away from a terrifying enemy. Just as this thought appeared, he heard a sound of breaking air, and then his head was hit, his vision turned red, and he finally fell into darkness.

With a thud, the Orc soldier whose head had been pierced by the iron rod fell into the crowd, completely losing his breath.

Su Xiao was like the Grim Reaper of the battlefield; all enemies who approached him had to die.

The crowd around him became denser and denser, and the frequency of the Counter-Attack Shield's durability dropping accelerated. Noticing this situation, the muscles on Su Xiao's right arm bulged slightly.

The Counter-Attack Shield expanded to the surroundings. Seeing this, the Orcs who were wildly hacking at the Counter-Attack Shield were overjoyed, pairs of red eyes glaring at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan. Seeing this scene, a dwarf soldier near him felt cold all over. Just twenty minutes ago, he had seen Su Xiao make this move, after which a large number of tribal soldiers died.

"Run..."

Clang!

The Ring Break blade aura spread to the surroundings like an ever-expanding ring. With Su Xiao as the center, tribal troops within a dozen meters in front, back, left, and right fell like wheat. After the Ring Break, not a single one of the fallen enemy corpses was intact.

Su Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief. Facing this kind of high-intensity battle, he inevitably began to feel fatigue; after all, he was killing enemies with all his might.

Ten meters away from Su Xiao, a dwarf lay on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably. The moment the ring-shaped blade aura spread, he immediately threw himself down, and his 1.3-meter height saved his life.

The dwarf who had escaped death looked at Su Xiao, only to find that Su Xiao was also looking at him.

"Actually dodged it."

Just after using Ring Break, Su Xiao's right arm would have a feeling of powerlessness for 1 to 2 seconds. Although he could continue to swing his blade, resting for a few more seconds would allow him to use Ring Break multiple times without his right arm aching, so he didn't use blade aura to attack. The 【Ghost Hunter】 crossbow appeared in his left hand. This pale-gold quality crossbow had been pre-loaded, and now he only needed to aim and pull the trigger.
