Chapter 1427: Chapter 49: The Persistent Mu Logger

Ambela City, East City.

Su Xiao leaped between high-rise buildings, tearing away the fabric on his shoulder, revealing a gory claw mark. This was inflicted by a certain woman whose abilities were very troublesome.

Because Su Xiao had to leave Ambela City promptly, he immediately withdrew after severely injuring the woman. Judging by the injuries, her chances of survival were very low.

A roll of bandages appeared in Su Xiao’s hand. His rapid movement did not hinder him from bandaging the wound.

After roughly bandaging the wound, Su Xiao took out a bottle of No.1 Elixir and drank it. The excruciating pain in his shoulder gradually receded to an acceptable range.

Compared to the injury on his shoulder, Su Xiao was more concerned about the light spot on his right forearm. He had attempted to dispel it using the Blue Steel Shadow Ability, but unfortunately, it was impossible in a short time. The spot was quickly absorbing the energy floating in the air.

Unless Su Xiao severed his right forearm, he wouldn’t be able to remove it within a dozen hours. This thing wasn’t merely composed of energy, or it would have been dispersed by Blue Steel Shadow Energy long ago.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao reached the edge of Ambela City. Not long after, he exited the city. He had received a message from Bubu Wang, who had already retreated along the planned route and would soon rendezvous with him.

Reaching the outskirts near Ambela City, Su Xiao took a deep breath. The plan seemed successful, but if any step had gone wrong, he might not have been able to leave Ambela City. At least dozens of officers from the Sun Kingdom and stationed troops were inside the city.

Now, Su Xiao finally had time to check the Reincarnation Paradise prompt.

[Prompt: The Hunter has completed the ’War Personal Main Task: Deep into Enemy Camp.’]

[Task Completion: 100%.]

[Task Evaluation: A+ (Took relatively long), no extra rewards.]

[You gained 2 Golden Skill Points.]

...

The reward Su Xiao had longed for was in his hands. For these two [Golden Skill Points], he first infiltrated the Saint Limen Fortress, then took the risk to sneak into Ambela City, orchestrating a series of assassination plans.

The priority to enhance is, of course, the Core of Devour. With the Blade Demon Energy in dormancy, now is the best time to enhance the Core of Devour.

Of course, Su Xiao can only use the [Golden Skill Points] after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise. For now, he needs to stay as far away from Ambela City as possible and quickly leave the Sun Kingdom’s territory. The direction of Saint Limen Fortress is the current best choice.

An hour later, Su Xiao was traversing a natural stone forest. He sensed someone tracking him from behind. The traps he set along the way had been triggered several times; the loud explosions were the best proof.

Seven hours later, in the wilderness of the Sun Kingdom, beside a small river.

The sky was just beginning to brighten. Su Xiao took a thick straw from his storage space. This thing had multiple filtration functions, able to filter out microorganisms and impurities from the river water.

Even after drinking some water, Su Xiao was still very hungry. Intense combat rapidly drained his body’s energy. Unfortunately, the emergency food he prepared couldn’t be retrieved from his storage space.

Having been on the run for eight consecutive hours, the pursuers were still relentlessly chasing. This made Su Xiao guess who was behind him. Given his speed, ordinary officers of the Sun Kingdom couldn’t catch up to this point.

Su Xiao glanced around. The terrain here was open, with a small river nearby and the ground covered in a large area of pebbles. A small forest lay a short distance away.

Constantly fleeing wasn’t Su Xiao’s style. According to his judgment, even if he returned to the Geya Alliance, the person chasing him would still follow. Such a future threat should clearly be resolved now.

Su Xiao took out several Alchemy Bombs and a lot of miscellaneous items and began setting them up in the open space around him.

About twenty minutes later, a dust-covered Buck arrived near the small river.

There was a bonfire by the river, and near the bonfire was a pile of fish bones. Seeing those fish bones, Buck swallowed hard. After chasing all night, he was very hungry.

Su Xiao sat by the bonfire, holding a skewer of grilled fish in his hand. The charred golden skin oozed oil, whetting one’s appetite.

"Chased all night, must be hungry."

Su Xiao took a bite of the grilled fish in his hand, his eyes fixed on Buck.

Buck didn’t speak, and in the next moment, Su Xiao tossed the grilled fish in his hand into the river behind him. Buck laughed; this was the ’White Ghost’ he met through battles. Supplying the enemy was simply impossible.

Su Xiao stood up and drew the Dragon Slash from his waist. Light blue energy surged on the Dragon Slash. This open terrain gave him a greater advantage, unlike the office earlier, which suited Buck, who wielded a short axe, to fight.

Furthermore, Su Xiao had set up some things underground nearby. If they really fought here, it could definitely give Buck a ’surprise’.

Buck’s eyes glanced around. He had already judged that Su Xiao had stayed here for at least ten minutes. Engaging Su Xiao in such a location was not a wise choice, especially since the opponent had just replenished food and fresh water, clearly being in better condition than him.

Soon, Buck spotted a small grove about a hundred meters away, which was his ideal battlefield.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, the pebbles under Su Xiao and Buck’s feet flew, the high kinetic energy stones shooting off into the distance in a flash.

A long knife and a short axe clashed. Just as the knife’s edge was about to touch the axe blade, the knife slanted to the side. Su Xiao certainly wouldn’t clash head-on with Buck—that would be asking for trouble. He had experienced Buck’s monster strength multiple times.

With a sizzling sound, sparks flew as the blade slid past the axe blade and headed straight for Buck’s elbow.

Buck didn’t defend at all. He swung the other short axe directly towards Su Xiao’s face; exchanging his head for the enemy’s elbow, Su Xiao certainly wouldn’t agree.

The sharp short axe cleaved past Su Xiao’s face. As he bent down, he swung a side kick toward Buck’s abdomen.

Before Buck’s abdomen was kicked, he shifted his body to the left.

With a bang, an airwave spread as Buck was kicked and sent flying straight into the forest a hundred meters away.

Just as Buck was kicked away, Su Xiao’s left arm jerked, and the pulling force in his hand caused his legs to plunge into the pebbles. Buck, who was in mid-air, was forcibly pulled down.

Gravel splattered as Buck landed on one hand. Instead of standing up immediately, he swung an axe towards his ankle.

Noticing this, Su Xiao tugged on the Boundary Line, retrieving it back.

Buck leapt up from the ground, knowing his intention had been seen through, so he no longer focused on that grove.

The battle between Su Xiao and Buck was a battle of combat intelligence. In terms of raw strength, the two were evenly matched. Their combat experience was comparable as well. Who would ultimately prevail depended on who first caught the other’s flaw.

A few Gold Coins appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, which he tossed onto the ground. Buck glanced at those coins with the corner of his eye. According to his judgment, Su Xiao’s move had no direct significance. It seemed... like a distraction!

This thought had just crossed Buck’s mind when he intended to leap away.

Boom!

The ground under Buck’s feet suddenly exploded, with pebbles infused with strong force shooting towards him. Fire engulfed him.

The sound of wind breaking approached from behind Buck. He had experienced this sensation several times—his enemy would suddenly vanish and reappear in an unpredictable position.

Slashing sounds came from behind Buck, and yet he swung an axe to his side.

Clang! A huge force was transmitted from the Dragon Slash, and Su Xiao, who had just penetrated space, was chopped away.

Zzz~

The Boundary Line tightened as Su Xiao’s left hand, wrapped in a metal armguard, tightly gripped the Boundary Line, which looped around Buck’s neck at the other end.
