Chapter 799: Command · Suicide

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao felt something was wrong. He could dodge the metal arrows, firstly by relying on his physical fitness and perception, and secondly by relying on his nerve reflex speed.

Now that his nerve reflex speed was reduced by 8%, he clearly felt that the metal arrows had become faster and harder to dodge. In fact, the metal arrows hadn't become faster; it was his reaction speed that had begun to slow down.

Whoosh—

The Ghost Bee grazed Su Xiao's shoulder, leaving a bloody trail.

【You have been eroded by an unknown toxin. The unknown toxin has successfully interfered with your physical state.】

【Warning: The abnormal statuses you have received are stacking. Stacking count: 2. Nerve reflex speed -2%, physical defense -5. The abnormal status will last for minutes.】

【Judging... Because the Hunter's various resistances are high, the abnormal status duration is -0%. Current duration: 24 seconds.】

Su Xiao's senses were slower, and a blue-gray energy was clinging to his skin. Fortunately, this energy was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away, Lan Jue was concentrating on controlling the Ghost Bee, his whistling slow and then fast. He was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the Ghost Bee to injure Su Xiao for the third time. The Ghost Bee would add an abnormal status after injuring an enemy, and this abnormal status would undergo a qualitative change once it reached three stacks.

The two were fighting, and Lan Jue currently had the advantage. However, he wasn't misled by this advantage because he knew that in a ranged versus melee fight, as long as their strength was similar, the ranged fighter would definitely have the advantage initially. But if he were closed in on by the opponent, he would be in for a rough time.

"Whew—"

The whistling sound became urgent. Hundreds of mechanical dragonflies beside Lan Jue flapped their wings and circled, but they didn't attack Su Xiao. It wasn't that Lan Jue didn't want to use these mechanical dragonflies to attack Su Xiao, but rather that while controlling the Ghost Bee, he didn't have the mental energy to control other summons.

The Ghost Bee was very important to Lan Jue, and this thing could not afford any mistakes. Once the Ghost Bee died, Lan Jue would even have his attributes deducted.

【Ghost Bee】

Category: Summon

HP: 94%

Mana: 0/0

Strength: 20

Skill 1: Ghost Etherealization

Skill 3: Adaptive Speed

Skill 4: Sound Sensing System (Acquired)

Skill 5: Triple Fusion (Fused: Bee, Beetle, Ant)

Skill 6: Supersonic (After using this ability, the Ghost Bee will hibernate for 72 hours)

Without a doubt, the Ghost Bee was Lan Jue's strongest ability and weapon, bar none.

At this moment, the Ghost Bee was chasing Su Xiao to sting him. Su Xiao's Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan slashed at the Ghost Bee from time to time, but this thing was too agile, making it very difficult to hit.

Su Xiao had 8 seconds left of the abnormal status. As soon as the abnormal status disappeared, his state would recover, and he would have a chance to slash down this metal arrow.

Whoosh—

Su Xiao tilted his head, and the Ghost Bee flew past under his ear, nearly injuring him. The Ghost Bee's speed was getting faster and faster, and the Repel Shield clearly couldn't keep up.

Su Xiao glanced at Lan Jue. The opponent was standing dozens of meters away, motionless, which made him feel much more at ease. Solving this metal arrow was the key to this battle.

A pale blue light flashed through the air. It wasn't the light of the Ghost Bee, but one of Su Xiao's weapons.

This pale blue light was distributed around Su Xiao, and Lan Jue in the distance couldn't see these pale blue lights at all.

The Ghost Bee attacked again. Su Xiao wanted to dodge, but the abnormal status caused his dodging movements to be a bit slower.

Lan Jue in the distance noticed this scene. His brain thought quickly, judging whether this was an opportunity or a trap.

Opportunities in battle are fleeting. Judging from the previous situation, Su Xiao didn't have a very good way to deal with the Ghost Bee. Therefore, Lan Jue decided to give it a try.

Whoosh—

The Ghost Bee stabbed at Su Xiao's glabella. Su Xiao leaned his body back as hard as he could, but unfortunately, the Ghost Bee's speed was faster.

Zzz.

The sound of metal wires tightening came. A type of cyan metal wire was wrapped around the Ghost Bee's arrow body, wrapped dozens of times densely.

"Caught you."

Su Xiao tightened the Boundary Breaking Line. That's right, the cyan light flashing in the air earlier was the Boundary Breaking Line.

Lan Jue's whistling stopped. His expression didn't look very good. Su Xiao didn't care about Lan Jue's thoughts. He gripped Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan tightly and took a slash at the metal arrow darting around in mid-air.

"Command · Ant."

Before Su Xiao's long sword could slash down, the Ghost Bee turned from black to yellow, and fine cracks appeared on its surface. This wasn't shattering, but rather dispersing into numerous small individuals.

The long sword slashed down. Because the Ghost Bee had split into tens of thousands of small individuals, this slash didn't cause substantial damage to the Ghost Bee. Moreover, because it split into small individuals, the Ghost Bee broke free from the constraints of the Boundary Breaking Line.

"Command · Scatter."

Those small individuals that the Ghost Bee had split into began to spread to the surroundings.

How could Su Xiao let such a troublesome weapon escape? All the Repel Shields beside him quickly floated forward, forming a diamond-shaped cage around the Ghost Bee's small individuals, trapping the Ghost Bee inside.

The Boundary Breaking Line was wrapped around the diamond-shaped cage. Su Xiao pulled the Boundary Breaking Line, and the diamond-shaped cage was pulled over. When the diamond-shaped cage flew in front of him, he tilted his body, placed his center of gravity on his left leg, and kicked out with his right leg with all his might.

Bang!

Su Xiao kicked the diamond-shaped cage, and the diamond-shaped cage flew into the distance with a whoosh.

"Command · Gho..."

Lan Jue's command stopped halfway because the Ghost Bee had already flown too far. Using Command · Ghost required Lan Jue and the Ghost Bee to be within 100 meters.

"Command · Return."

"..."

There was no reaction. It wasn't that the Ghost Bee couldn't return, but that it had been kicked too far away, and flying also took time.

Su Xiao looked at Lan Jue, a smile appearing on his face.

Shave.

Su Xiao disappeared from where he was, rushing towards Lan Jue at high speed.

"Command · Suicide."

As soon as this command was given, red light appeared in the compound eyes of the hundreds of mechanical dragonflies beside Lan Jue, and they rushed straight forward.

It wasn't just these mechanical dragonflies; on the ground between Su Xiao and Lan Jue, mechanical beetles and mechanical earthworms crawled out one by one. These mechanical summons had only one goal: to perish together with Su Xiao.

It is true that Shave's speed is fast, but it is very difficult to change direction after using Shave; at most, it is a small adjustment.

Boom, boom, boom...

Dense explosions resounded across the battlefield. Although Lan Jue didn't know where Su Xiao was, the area between the two was full of mechanical summons. As long as Su Xiao rushed over, he would definitely be injured by the explosions produced by the mechanical summons.

The fire of the explosion surged. Before the explosion had ended, a figure had already rushed out of the fire of the explosion.

Crack, crack.

Cracks appeared on the newly formed Repel Shield around Su Xiao. Just a moment ago, the Repel Shield had withstood hundreds of explosion impacts. That it didn't shatter directly already showed the sturdiness of the Repel Shield.

Su Xiao's figure reappeared. He was three meters away from Lan Jue.

"Command · Repl..."

Pfft.

Blood splattered, and a blade light flashed. Lan Jue's left side went numb, and his entire left arm and shoulder were slashed off. Blood splattered on Lan Jue's face, but Lan Jue was unusually calm.

"Replace."

Lan Jue disappeared, and a beetle the size of a washbasin appeared in front of Su Xiao.

This beetle's body expanded rapidly. Needless to say, this thing would definitely explode. Lan Jue's summons, except for the Ghost Bee, were all things that could explode. He was simply an explosion maniac.

Thud!

A fireball with a diameter of dozens of meters wrapped Su Xiao inside, and the surrounding ground trembled.

Two seconds later, the fireball disappeared. Su Xiao stood in a semicircular giant crater, with a few small pieces of Repel Shield floating beside him.

With a *clatter*, those few small pieces of the Counter-Attack Shield turned into energy and vanished.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Su Xiao covered his mouth and coughed dryly, fresh blood spilling from between his fingers. At this moment, there were multiple burn wounds on his legs, with his left calf being particularly severe, the skin torn and flesh mangled by the explosion.

Su Xiao took out a No. 1 potion; this time, the No. 1 potion was different from before, as it was contained in a syringe.

He plunged the syringe into his neck, injecting the No. 1 potion inside into his body—not by drinking, but by direct injection.

As soon as the potion entered his body, the veins on Su Xiao's neck bulged. A moment later, the wounds on his legs began to show signs of recovery; at the very least, the pain vanished rapidly, ensuring it would not affect his speed.
