Chapter 1570 - 36: Su Xiao-Style Assassination

Chapter 1570: Chapter 36: Su Xiao-Style Assassination

Although A Mu is usually very docile, among Bubu Wang and Bennie, he is quite the punching bag. But in battle, A Mu is exceptionally fierce, and tearing enemies apart is a regular occurrence.

After charging a certain distance, A Mu crashed into the castle’s main gate.

Thud!

The shockwave spread, denting the castle’s iron door deeply. Several witches and clones inside were knocked backward, with some even spitting out large mouthfuls of blood upon hitting the ground.

"What good does it do to barricade the door? They’ll eventually break in."

Standing on the steps, Kai shook his head, somewhat perplexed by the thinking of those First and Second Tier witches.

Actually, these First and Second Phase witches aren’t stupid; they know that the monster will eventually break in. The higher-tier witches aren’t afraid, but they can’t help but feel fear.

Outside the iron door, A Mu raised his head and pulled his horns out of it. He shook his head and rammed into the iron door again, stubbornly persistent.

There’s a saying about being bull-headed, and A Mu is now in a bull-headed state — his head may crack, blood may flow, but this door must open.

Thud, thud, thud...

The surrounding ground quaked as if in an earthquake; debris rose half a meter high. Strangely, A Mu’s impact did not trigger the castle’s defensive mechanisms.

With each collision, Bubu Wang flinched, his dog face twitching in sympathy; just watching it hurt.

Su Xiao kicked A Mu in the lower back, making him falter with an innocent expression. Su Xiao grabbed his horns, pouring a potion over his bleeding head.

After getting kicked by Su Xiao, A Mu became noticeably more docile, even if stubborn. In Su Xiao’s presence, his temper calmed significantly.

Su Xiao drew the Dragon Slash from his waist, and blood energy began to spread around him.

"Step back; here comes an even fiercer one!"

A witch at the window yelled, while Su Xiao and Bubu Wang pondered why A Mu didn’t just ram the windows — those seemed much easier to break than the heavy iron door, which was obviously reinforced by elemental energy.

Clang, clang, clang...

Several cleave marks appeared on the iron door, causing the witches behind it to freeze; lines of blood appeared on their bodies.

"A Mu, you can ram it now."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, A Mu stood up; his head wound healing quickly, he charged forward a few steps and rammed into the iron door.

With a crash, the iron door shattered into over a dozen pieces, its edges smooth as a mirror.

A Mu, headstrong as ever, rushed into the castle, and in the next moment, various elemental attacks bombarded him.

After a loud boom, A Mu got blown out from the entrance. Before he hit the ground, two green rays shot into his body.

Though A Mu got beaten badly, nearly taken out in a concentrated attack by the witches, he managed to buy Su Xiao a brief moment of opportunity.

Leaning against the wall beside the iron door, Su Xiao held four ’Photon Composite Shock Bombs’ between his fingers — each costing 2000 Paradise coins. Just as A Mu got launched back, Su Xiao hurled all four bombs into the castle.

With a bang, intense light unfurled inside the castle, followed by a series of screams. D·Assassin appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, while on the other side of the opening stood the Undead Hunter.

Bang, bang, bang...

In an instant, Su Xiao emptied his magazine. The hunter’s speed was also swift, firing five arrows in quick succession.

With a whoosh, a metal spike as thick as a finger scraped by Su Xiao’s face. He quickly pulled his head back, as not all witches were effected by the shock bombs.

Su Xiao gestured to the hunter, who nodded, understanding Su Xiao’s plan. Su Xiao would handle the clearing, while the hunter would provide cover.

At this time, the repeatedly healed A Mu stood up, tore off a slab of mangled flesh from his chest, and stormed back into the castle.

Thud!

Ice emerged on the castle’s first floor; instantly, Su Xiao sheathed D·Assassin and rushed in with his blade drawn.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The hunter shot three arrows in quick succession, causing Kai, who was manipulating metal spikes from a distance, to hide her head and take cover at the entrance to the second floor.

Su Xiao swiftly invaded the castle, confronted by a barrage of Elemental attacks, with A Mu immediately stepping in to shield him.

[Alert: You are affected by a Weakness Type Curse, decreasing your physical defense by 30 points, actual effect reduced to 10 points (Curse Resistance 65% Immune).]

[Alert: You are affected by a Fatigue Type Curse; this effect has been exempted by Sword Grandmaster.]

[Alert: You are afflicted by a Weakness Type Curse, increasing your stamina consumption speed by 30%, actual effect is...

A large number of prompts appear, showing the terrifying aspect of the Curse Witch, but under the immunity of the Sword Grandmaster + Curse Resistance, Su Xiao is not greatly affected.

Various elements explode on A Mu, but this time A Mu isn’t seriously injured. Most witches in the floor are holding their ears, squatting on the ground in pain. The Shock Bomb not only affects vision but also causes irreversible hearing damage.

Su Xiao hooked his foot on A Mu’s ankle, and A Mu fell to the ground accordingly. The Sheath of the Dragon Slash, the blood energy around Su Xiao disappears into thin air.

Ring Break!

The circular Blade Aura spreads out. Because Su Xiao swung his blade in a crouching position, the witches squatting nearby were beheaded, instantly and en masse.

Seeing this scene, Kai at the entrance of the second tier was furious. She just wanted to manipulate metal to attack Su Xiao when an arrow shot towards her head.

"Annoying flower cat."

Kai swung her arm, surprisingly catching the arrow full of metal barbs with her bare hand. Her slender arm semi-metalized, yet the joints remained flesh, ensuring flexibility.

Pop, pop.

Two arrows shot into the wall behind Kai and exploded afterward. The wall is too hard, even the Hunter’s arrows can’t penetrate.

When Kai looked again at the first tier, it was full of corpses, with a man holding a long knife standing among them.

"Damn, this trash."

Kai was even more angry. She pulled over a Third Stage Witch beside her.

"How is it, has your vision recovered?"

"I, I can see somewhat clearly."

"Then hurry up and work together to kill him, otherwise who knows how many sisters will die here."

Just as Kai finished speaking, she suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her.

Clang, clang, clang...

Dense metal needles hit the ground behind Kai, but unfortunately, there was nothing behind her.

Not far from Kai, Bu Bu stood up against the wall and patted his chest with his paw, indicating: "That was terrifying."

Most witches that Su Xiao killed on the first tier were First and Second Phase Witches. Those above the Third Tier were smart; they stayed in the back thus were less affected by the Shock Bomb.

A big black claw appeared out of thin air behind Su Xiao, aiming straight for his nape.

Splurt!

Blood splattered onto the ceiling as Su Xiao severed the big claw while sidestepping a black ball.

The black ball crashed into the wall, causing a swarm of worms to burst forth, biting everything around. Following this, dense attacks ensued.

At the corner inside the first tier, three witches exchanged glances and simultaneously dashed out at extreme speed towards Su Xiao.

With a swoosh, a thin silver chain skims past Su Xiao’s ribs, tearing his clothes instantly and pulling off a large chunk of flesh. A closer look reveals that the silver chain held by one witch has countless sharp fangs, and Su Xiao wasn’t cut by the silver chain but bitten by hundreds of razor-sharp fangs.

Stinging pain radiates from the wound, filled with poison.

Before Su Xiao could catch his breath, a soap bubble appeared on his face side.

Boom!

The explosion reverberated, and as the dust settled, the blue crystal layer attached to Su Xiao’s face side was full of cracks, his mind buzzing. Just then, a heavy pressure appeared on his shoulder.

Three witches surrounded Su Xiao; these were three Fourth Stage Witches.

Su Xiao glanced at his Life Value, which had only 33% remaining, indicating the combined strength of the three Fourth Stage Witches.

Su Xiao lowered his body, and from his ribs, a wound gushed blood, which defied gravity and enveloped Dragon Slash, drastically consuming his Life Value.

Bang! A burst of energy spread, and Su Xiao suddenly vanished from the witches’ sight, a bloody cleave appearing out of nowhere, slicing across a witch’s torso, as Su Xiao reappeared, his long knife dripping blood in hand.

The witch’s mouth slightly opened, eyes filled with disbelief, as a Fourth Tier Witch—a rarity among witches—felt herself near death, slaughtered in one stroke by the enemy.

With a thump, the witch’s upper body hit the ground, and a swirl of blood energy drifted from her body, slowly merging into Su Xiao’s, as Bu Bu Wang, hiding in the shadows, healed Su Xiao with triple recovery effect, restoring his Life Value to 28%.

He glanced sideways at another witch, disappearing again instantly.

Sword Grandmaster Level 10 includes Ultimate Ability: Shadow Flash (Active), advancing at super limit speed, the next cleave will carry Weapon Attack Power ×3 in Penetration Strike Damage (this is the Sword Grandmaster bonus ’Weapon Attack Power’), using this ability consumes 60% existing Life Value, if successfully killing the enemy, it quickly absorbs the 30% Life Value consumed by ’this skill’, and immediately resets the cooldown time.
