Chapter 89: Off-the-Charts Survival Ability

"Caw, caw~~."

A flock of crows danced in the night sky. Perhaps somewhat tired, the crows landed on a mostly broken utility pole.

Just as the crows landed, a loud noise came from below, the utility pole snapped, and a large amount of dust rose. Those crows chirped and flew away in a panic.

"Cough, cough~."

A figure in tattered clothes, covered in blood, stood up from the ground.

"I said it, this kind of attack and pain have no effect on me."

Nico licked the blood from his palm, his whole body covered in blade marks, and his entire face was even split in half.

If it were any other ghoul, such injuries would have already resulted in death, but Nico didn't care at all, his face still full of a pleased smile.

If one observed the wounds Nico had been slashed open carefully, one could see that those wounds were only bleeding slightly, and Nico's whole body no longer had muscles, filled with body tissues similar to kagune transformation.

At some point, the kagune behind Nico had disappeared, and that kagune had merged into Nico's body.

"Strange body structure."

Su Xiao walked out from inside the back door. The moonlight shone on him, and one could see some bloodstains on him; that wasn't his blood.

After activating Qing Gang Ying, the Checking Zhan Long Shan in Su Xiao's hand was exceptionally conspicuous. In the night, Checking Zhan Long Shan looked like a long blade made of lightning, emitting a pale blue light.

Qing Gang Ying's effect on Nico was not obvious. True damage was effective, but pain was completely ineffective.

The transvestite in front of him was a super masochist who didn't care about pain at all, or perhaps he was excited by pain?

Those blade marks on Nico's body were all the effect of true damage; ordinary slashes were ineffective.

Su Xiao seriously suspected that Nico's strength far exceeded SS-class, very likely an SS+ to SSS-class ghoul.

If it came to survival ability, Nico was even stronger than Takatsuki Sen.

As for attack power, with Nico's "king-eight punches," it would be a ghost story if he could hit Su Xiao.

The current situation was that Su Xiao couldn't do much to Nico, Nico couldn't hurt Su Xiao at all, and with Su Xiao's speed, it was impossible for Nico to escape.

"How about it, little handsome guy? Still want to keep fighting? I have no opinion."

Nico's face was full of a pathological strange laugh, even longing for Su Xiao to slash him.

Su Xiao's lips tightened, and cold light emerged in his eyes.

His body arched, and Su Xiao rushed toward Nico in rapid steps. In less than five steps, he rushed in front of Nico.

Nico threw a wild punch at Su Xiao. Nico's recovery ability was terrifying, but his strength and speed were very average.

Su Xiao stopped his pace, dodged this punch sideways, and kicked Nico in the lower abdomen with a back kick.

"Pala." A bone-chilling cracking sound came.

Nico let out a strange cry, his eyes bulging. The pain of a male being attacked in the crotch could not be covered by a masochist attribute.

Nico was truly having his balls crushed now. Although he could recover, he was also in so much pain that his vision went black.

"Awoo~!"

A howl that sounded like a wolf's howl spread within half a kilometer.

Nico's body subconsciously bent forward. Su Xiao flashed to Nico's left side and kicked Nico in the calf.

That calf twisted unnaturally to the side. Su Xiao held Checking Zhan Long Shan in a reverse grip and pierced Nico's spine, pinning Nico down.

Taking this opportunity, Su Xiao grabbed Nico's chin with his left hand and placed his right hand on the top of Nico's head, both hands exerting force in opposite directions.

"Crack."

Nico's head rotated 180 degrees, his chin facing the sky.

Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan, pulled the blade out, and retreated, observing Nico from a distance.

Balls crushed, calf severely fractured, spine pierced, head rotated 180 degrees.

If Nico didn't die from this, then Su Xiao had no other way.

As for slashing off Nico's head, Su Xiao had tried it; he didn't feel like he had slashed a solid object, the blade edge just slid past like a pool of water.

Nico's body began to twitch, his eyes rolling back.

"This is truly~, so good it makes me explode! Hahaha~."

Clearly, Nico didn't die. Su Xiao looked at Nico's HP bar and was speechless.

This guy's HP was still at 86%, all the damage received was true damage, and ordinary attacks were ineffective.

Su Xiao sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan, stuck it in his waist, and turned to walk into the back door.

Fighting this transvestite Nico was a complete waste of time and stamina.

He could kill the other party, but it would take a long time. By the time he killed Nico, the battle between the CCG and Aogiri Tree would have already ended.

If the CCG side lost, his 10,000 contribution points would go down the drain, and he didn't know how long it would take to save up enough contribution points for that blue-quality potion.

There was still fighting later; it was unwise to over-consume stamina now.

After Su Xiao left, Nico's body gradually recovered to its original state.

"To actually be able to hurt me to this extent, what a terrifying guy."

The smile on Nico's face disappeared. After hesitating for a while, he walked toward the distance. He had this survival ability, but it wasn't without a price.

Obtaining this tenacious survival ability required sacrificing many things.

This was the fusion of kagune and body tissues. After fusion, lifespan would be lost by more than half, he would lose the ability to reproduce, and he would lose his sanity during feeding.

During Nico's feeding, no one dared to approach. This point was the same as Noro of Aogiri Tree.

As long as someone approached, they would be attacked crazily. It was anyone; even the closest friends wouldn't work.

Su Xiao had just entered the back door when a group of ghouls wearing red robes ran toward him; these were members of Aogiri Tree.

The number was about twenty or so. It seemed they had successfully lured the CCG, and the ghouls began to retreat.

Unfortunately, someone had already cut off their retreat.

"Who is this guy?"

Su Xiao stood in the darkness, and those ghouls could only vaguely see the white trench coat.

"In any case, he's a human, and he doesn't have a quinque. Kill him."

The Aogiri Tree ghouls rushed toward Su Xiao without a word, but they didn't know they were rushing toward death.

The battle with Nico earlier had made Su Xiao somewhat annoyed; no one liked that kind of sticky enemy.

Checking Zhan Long Shan was unsheathed, and the blade light turned into a silver thin line.

"Puchi, puchi..."

Numerous ghouls crossed paths with Su Xiao. In just one round, five ghouls bled and fell.

The ghouls looked terrified, watching Su Xiao with trepidation.

A touch of moonlight reflected in from a window hole, shining on Su Xiao's upper body. His cheeks, stained with a few drops of blood, appeared in the sight of the numerous ghouls.

"This guy is~."

An A-class ghoul's teeth chattered, as if he were in the Arctic snowfield, his whole body icy cold.

"Run, otherwise we're dead."

The ghouls lost their will to fight and began to flee for their lives.

But with Su Xiao's 13-point Agility attribute, they had no possibility of escaping.

Three minutes later, a blood-stained arm stretched out from the back door, trembling. The moonlight shone on this arm.

"Save..."

With a 'puchi' sound, a long blade pierced the head, and blood dripped along the tip of the blade.

Pulling out the blade and lightly shaking off the blood on Checking Zhan Long Shan, Su Xiao continued to guard the back door.

During the war between the CCG and Aogiri Tree, killing ghouls had an extra contribution point bonus.

For every ghoul killed, one could earn about 20 CCG contribution points.

Su Xiao was like an iron wall, cutting off the important escape routes for the ghouls.

What was more fatal was that the Aogiri Tree ghouls were retreating in small groups. If they retreated in a swarm, it would alert the CCG.

Sometimes ten or so, sometimes thirty or so, the Aogiri Tree ghouls were like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, sending themselves to death at the back door in batches.

Half an hour later, a large area of corpses appeared near the back door. ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
