The long blade was his primary tool for breaking defenses, but his limbs could kill at critical moments too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kick struck hard; with his hand pinned to the ground by Zhanlongshan, the force transferred fully to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, a long crack had formed in his arm bone—he could no longer use that arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the kick, Su Xiao didn’t stop—he yanked Zhanlongshan free and slashed at the shopkeeper’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This terrified the shopkeeper—if his throat was cut, he might not die, but he’d lose all combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freeing his arm, the shopkeeper retreated in haste—but his steps couldn’t match the speed of Su Xiao’s blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before the blade reached his throat, the shopkeeper threw his head back and leapt upward—the long blade, meant for his throat, instead struck his collarbone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhanlongshan tore through the shopkeeper’s defenses with ease; clearly, the kagune covering his body offered far less defense than that on his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed forth; the shopkeeper grimaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper was a veteran fighter; even as he was wounded, he swung his arm toward Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blow was powerful and heavy—he intended to split Su Xiao in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao swiftly raised Zhanlongshan before him, gripping the hilt with one hand and pressing his other palm against the blade’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous force slammed into Zhanlongshan; Su Xiao’s body arched backward, the concrete beneath his feet cracking into a spiderweb pattern radiating from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using that force, Su Xiao retreated several steps before stabilizing—his grip on the blade trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That blow had been too heavy; Su Xiao conservatively estimated the shopkeeper’s strength stat was at least 15, possibly higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the fight began, less than five minutes had passed—both sides were wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper’s kagune shell bore large gashes; his body’s arm and collarbone were injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the shopkeeper’s ghoul physiology, these wounds weren’t severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had expended considerable stamina; his arms were numb and needed time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had no external injuries, but he was human—any wound to vital areas would impair his combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper stared silently at Su Xiao; his blood slowly seeped back into his body, wounds healing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssss~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal corroding came—thin wisps of green smoke rose from Zhanlongshan’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao immediately tore off a strip of cloth and wiped the blood clean from Zhanlongshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than two seconds, Zhanlongshan had lost four durability points—the shopkeeper’s blood was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exact reason was unknown, but the shopkeeper’s blood was indeed corroding his weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his arms recovered somewhat, Su Xiao clashed again with the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blades flashed in rapid succession; before Su Xiao, a net of steel formed—he attacked relentlessly while guarding against the shopkeeper’s counterstrikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamon stood to the side as a bystander, helplessly watching the whole scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a distant steel suspension bridge of the Aogiri Tree, Katsuki Izumi sat at the bridge’s edge, her entire body wrapped in bandages, her calves swinging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time’s about up, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Katsuki Izumi gazed at the distant Aogiri Tree outpost; her artificially altered voice carried an eerie echo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tachibana stood behind her, pulling out an explosive detonator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most have retreated—let’s begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Tachibana pressed the detonator without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled explosion echoed within the Aogiri Tree outpost; thick smoke surged upward, and the building tilted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the blast, the outpost fell into deathly silence—only a swarm of crows took flight in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t the outpost collapse? Was the explosive charge insufficient?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Katsuki Izumi stood up; the strange tone vanished, her true voice returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Click, click…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tachibana pressed the detonator several more times—no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The explosives were disarmed.

I’ll have to wait for another chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Katsuki Izumi turned and left; Tachibana followed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the rooftop of the Aogiri Tree outpost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sat on the rooftop, a long gash across his lower abdomen, and a thumb-sized hole in his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper escaped—after inflicting heavy wounds on him, he fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, the entire building suddenly tilted; Su Xiao’s furious assault was broken, and the shopkeeper seized the chance to severely wound him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao fought using sword techniques—he was a skill-based fighter—while the shopkeeper relied on raw defensive power and attack strength. Thus, when the terrain changed drastically, Su Xiao suffered greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the shopkeeper escaped, he “left behind” something—a half-meter-long kagune lay beside Su Xiao, severed from the shopkeeper’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an independent kagune sac—the shopkeeper's Uroko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: (Cough cough, it’s time to ask for recommendation votes and collections.)\u003C\u002Fp>",1190,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","aba7d8c1e2c0cfc6568717a4725145d40eda2f57a76498efb0f148d0afb14125","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-94","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-92",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
