The Slaughter Shortblade was designed for throat-cutting: it inflicted 60% armor-ignoring bonus damage upon slashing a throat, and triggered a stamina check—if failed, it caused bleeding: 4% of the target’s max HP per second for ten seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gurgling blood spurted; without needing a prompt, Su Xiao knew the Bloodletting (passive) check had succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-scaled creature before him collapsed forward; Su Xiao grabbed its nape, swung it up, and hurled it at another silver-scaled creature charging toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed through the air; thud—the two creatures collided; one died instantly from the impact, the other splattered with blood across its face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziiii~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strand of blue metal thread wrapped around the creature—it was the Boundary Cut Line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stepped forward; the Slaughter Shortblade vanished from his hand, replaced by the Dragon-Slaying Flash—this lightning-fast switch was possible due to one of the Slaughter Shortblade’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Equipment Effect 4: Rapid Switch (active): Weapon swap speed +70%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this trait, Su Xiao used the Slaughter Shortblade as his secondary weapon—though its gold-tier quality also contributed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Slaying Flash appeared; if the Slaughter Shortblade felt agile and bloodthirsty, the Dragon-Slaying Flash was pure, unadulterated sharpness—just looking at it made the eyes ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the Dragon-Slaying Flash, Su Xiao’s aura shifted—he had been an assassin, now he was a direct challenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several blade slashes shot forth, slicing toward the silver-scaled creature bound by the Boundary Cut Line; terror flooded its eyes as it struggled desperately to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Boundary Cut Line, upgraded to dark purple and reinforced +10, was beyond its strength to snap—even some third-tier boss monsters couldn’t break it; its durability was too high: 280 points. Over 90% of gold-tier gear didn’t have this much durability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bound silver-scaled creature roared; the Boundary Cut Line carved deep crimson grooves into its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade slashes cut through—six intersecting slashes shredded the creature into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao tugged the Boundary Cut Line; the impossibly thin thread left a thin crimson trail in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three silver-scaled creatures remained alive; Su Xiao turned his gaze toward them—and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three silver-scaled creatures were already ten meters away; after witnessing two of their kind instantly slaughtered, the remaining three didn’t think of revenge—they instantly turned and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These silver-scaled creatures weren’t game NPCs bound by aggro mechanics; they were beings from an unknown planet, and when faced with overwhelming power disparity, they fled without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the three silver-scaled creatures broke into a sprint, Bubu Wang blocked their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Laka!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One silver-scaled creature roared; no translation needed—Su Xiao knew it meant “get out of the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bubu Wang refused to budge—it hadn’t forgotten the “dog meat soup” insult; Bubu Wang held grudges fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brief delay caused by Bubu Wang, combined with the vast speed gap between Su Xiao and the creatures, allowed Su Xiao to catch up to the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of blade— one silver-scaled creature, still facing forward, had its head severed; Su Xiao’s fighting style was broad and brutal: if he didn’t hit, fine; if he did, he left body parts behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two silver-scaled creatures halted, realizing the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack… crack…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks appeared across the surface of both creatures; seeing this, Su Xiao froze mid-step and leapt backward; Bubu Wang rolled over lazily, tumbling behind a massive tree—dirt exploded behind the tree as if digging a hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two explosions erupted; blood mist rose, and countless silver scales shot outward in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Papatapata…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree shielding Bubu Wang was instantly riddled with holes; Bubu Wang let out a shrill yowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more silver scales shot toward Su Xiao than toward Bubu Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao activated his Direct Perception to its maximum—but the number of scales was too great; he couldn’t dodge them all; a 200-point energy shield materialized before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pala! The shield shattered; the kinetic force of the scales was halved; Su Xiao twisted sideways and slashed several times, sparks flying as the deflected scales embedded themselves in nearby trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest fell silent; Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon-Slaying Flash—unharmed. These silver-scaled creatures weren’t particularly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when these relatively weak silver-scaled creatures exploded, they unleashed devastating power; those silver scales could pierce a 200-point energy shield instantly, revealing their destructive potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These silver-scaled creatures must be the “guests” the Wolf Steward mentioned—if all guests possessed this level of lethality, the danger level of the Stronghold Forest would skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, these “guests” could never coexist peacefully with the players; if a guest killed a player, they would regain their freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>",1152,"2026-06-19T23:49:56.324Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a1eca3fd29804b26797bc279d0b4d2e774769e7defc08f380f49a07a99c7992e","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-934","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-932",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
