Chapter 828

Controlling 26 Ghost Bees simultaneously, bloodshot eyes surged in Lan Jue's eyeballs, and the blood vessels on his face bulged. One could tell how fast his blood was flowing just by looking at those twitching vessels.

Thump, thump, thump~

Lan Jue's heart beat like a drum, at least 300 times per minute, which made it somewhat difficult for Lan Jue to breathe.

Lan Jue had been driven to desperation by Su Xiao and was prepared to risk his life against him. This style of conduct didn't look like someone from Apocalypse Paradise at all; instead, it looked more like the style of Reincarnation Paradise—never compromising, and when pushed to the limit, fighting to the bitter end.

Su Xiao controlled Sius to block in front of him and transferred control of Sius to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. He needed to fight with his full focus and had no energy to manipulate Sius. It was impossible to engage in close combat with an enemy while manipulating Sius, which was why Su Xiao hadn't summoned the Orphan of Resentment, Sius, during his last battle with Lan Jue.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took over control of Sius. It lay in the grass, focusing all its mental energy on Sius.

At this moment, Sius was blocking in front of Su Xiao. After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took over control, the Orphan of Resentment, Sius, subconsciously stuck out its tongue and got down on all fours.

Su Xiao's mouth twitched, and he kicked Sius in the side of the waist. 'Sius' turned its head in confusion, its gaze seeming to say: "What's wrong, Master?"

"Get up, get used to Sius's fighting style as quickly as possible. Walk upright, charge over, and use the 'chicken leg' in your hand to hack that guy."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang hurriedly stood up and glanced at the muscle scimitar in its hand. This thing was what Su Xiao called a 'chicken leg'; in reality, it looked very much like a skinned raw chicken leg, just magnified dozens of times.

During the Holy Grail world, Su Xiao had almost been hammered to death by this 'chicken leg'.

Counter-Shields formed around Su Xiao, dozens of hexagonal energy shields circling him, ready to defend against Lan Jue's attacks at any time.

Su Xiao and Lan Jue exchanged a glance; neither spoke, because neither had much time left.

Boom!

Mud splashed under the feet of Su Xiao and Sius as the two charged toward Lan Jue one after the other.

Sius was in front, Su Xiao was behind, and the two shifted positions left and right from time to time; this was the tacit understanding between Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh...

20 Ghost Bees shot over, breaking through layers of air waves in the atmosphere, while the remaining 6 Ghost Bees circled around Lan Jue.

One Ghost Bee was already difficult to deal with, let alone 26. Originally, the maximum summon limit for Ghost Bees was 1; after Lan Jue was parasitized by the Mechanical Insect King, this restriction was temporarily lifted.

The 20 Ghost Bees attacked Sius first. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang controlled Sius to open its arms, and the three-meter-tall Sius completely shielded Su Xiao behind it.

If it were defending against ordinary arrows, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would have been correct to do this, but Ghost Bees were not ordinary arrows.

The shafts of the 20 Ghost Bees turned cyan, transitioning toward semi-transparency.

Whoosh~

The Ghost Bees pierced through Sius and headed straight for Su Xiao. Su Xiao's perception was fully open, and a faint stinging sensation appeared all over his body—it was his perception giving a warning.

Discovering that it had failed to defend against the Ghost Bees, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately controlled Sius to stop.

"Don't stop! Go harass him."

Su Xiao shouted, his eyeballs rotating rapidly in their sockets, capturing the attack trajectory of each Ghost Bee. There were simply too many Ghost Bees.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had just controlled Sius to stop when it heard Su Xiao's shout. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang continued to charge toward Lan Jue almost without thinking; obeying Su Xiao's orders was an instinct for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Sius charged toward Lan Jue, and the 6 Ghost Bees beside Lan Jue stopped circling, waiting for Sius to attack. At the same time, Lan Jue drew the two energy guns from his waist.

Bang, bang, bang...

Thirty basketball-sized plasma spheres were fired. These plasma spheres had a tracking function and had already locked onto Su Xiao. Su Xiao controlled thirty Counter-Shields to meet them.

Su Xiao had no time to dodge the plasma spheres; he had to ensure he didn't die under the siege of the 20 Ghost Bees first. This was very difficult.

The 20 Ghost Bees were in a virtualized state and could transform into physical entities to attack Su Xiao at any moment.

The virtualized Ghost Bees first passed through the Counter-Shields beside Su Xiao. The speed of the Ghost Bees was already extremely fast, and after passing through the Counter-Shields, the tips of the Ghost Bees were less than 20 centimeters from Su Xiao.

After passing through the Counter-Shields, the 20 Ghost Bees transformed into physical entities, their shafts pitch-black, attacking with powerful kinetic energy.

Su Xiao's feeling at this moment could only be described as his hair standing on end; a moment of carelessness, and he would lose his life on the spot.

The skin pointed at by the arrow tips felt a cool warning sensation. Su Xiao leaped into the air, his Zhan Long Shan slashing sideways.

Ding.

Seven Ghost Bees were slashed away, nine were dodged by Su Xiao's jump, and of the remaining four, one pierced Su Xiao's lower abdomen, two pierced his left shoulder, and one pierced his thigh.

Four finger-thick blood holes appeared. Su Xiao raised an eyebrow; the power of these things had weakened slightly.

Just as Su Xiao landed, the blood-stained Ghost Bees turned around behind him, their tips pointing at him once again.

Ring Break.

Clang.

A pale blue ring-shaped blade aura expanded. Lan Jue, a hundred meters away, immediately controlled the Ghost Bees to dodge, but at this moment, Sius, controlled by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, had already rushed in front of him, and Lan Jue's control of the Ghost Bees faltered.

The Ring Break expanded completely, and two crisp sounds were heard. Two Ghost Bees were hit by the Ring Break; one had a slash mark in the middle, and the other had its tip cut off.

Su Xiao discovered that among the 26 Ghost Bees, one was the fastest. That Ghost Bee should have been the one Lan Jue always kept by his side, while the other 25 newly formed Ghost Bees were inferior in terms of penetration, power, and durability.

Even so, the speed of these 25 newly formed Ghost Bees was extremely fast, and their penetration was enough to pierce Su Xiao's flesh and blood.

The Ghost Bees beside Su Xiao suddenly retreated, moving some distance away from him, because Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already controlled Sius to engage Lan Jue in close combat.

At this moment, Sius had three Ghost Bees stuck in its body, and the muscle scimitar in its hand smashed toward Lan Jue. Lan Jue's speed was not slow, and he immediately dodged sideways; he was not purely a long-range fighter.

Boom!

Mud splashed. Sius's strength was terrifying, and the flying mud and stones were like bullets from a shotgun.

If one observed carefully, one would find that the movements of Sius, controlled by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, were somewhat stiff. This was not because Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang couldn't control Sius well, but because the three Ghost Bees inside Sius were causing trouble.

The remaining three Ghost Bees beside Lan Jue shot toward Sius. The three Ghost Bees easily pierced into Sius's body and stopped there.

In this way, Sius had one Ghost Bee stuck in its head, arms, legs, and chest—exactly six.

"Command: Lift off."

Lan Jue raised his arm, and the six Ghost Bees inside Sius carried Sius into the sky, flying higher and higher.

"Now it's just us."

With blood vessels bulging all over his face, Sius, looking like a fierce ghost, smiled.

Su Xiao had no time to pay attention to Sius; the 19 Ghost Bees around him were too difficult to deal with, not allowing him a moment of distraction.

Whoosh~

A Ghost Bee pierced past Su Xiao's neck, leaving a bloodstain on it.

Puchi.

A Ghost Bee pierced through Su Xiao's left arm, and at the same time, he swung his blade to slash at a Ghost Bee in front of him.

Ding!

Metal fragments splashed as a Ghost Bee was slashed into two segments by Su Xiao.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Lan Jue let out violent dry coughs, and blood flowed from his ear canals. Every time Su Xiao slashed a Ghost Bee, Lan Jue had to endure the backlash.

Even so, Su Xiao was injured more severely than Lan Jue; he had at least ten blood holes on his body, three of which had damaged his internal organs.
