Chapter 1625: Earth Exploding Morning Star?

Inside the ice-sealed factory building, Su Xiao slashed two enemy melee contractors with two strikes, which clearly intimidated the other five nearby melee contractors, causing them to subconsciously step back.

This retreat exposed the rear line of their team to Su Xiao’s sight, and those mages or spearmen were startled and dismayed, as the tank hadn’t held off the enemy, and now even the melee fighters didn’t dare approach.

Almost instantly, three long-range contractors disappeared into the crowd, clearly those with stronger self-preservation abilities.

The actions of these three prompted other ranged fighters to follow suit, using their life-preserving abilities and preparing to disperse.

With the enemy’s rear line retreating, Su Xiao no longer had to endure their fierce attacks, easing his pressure and giving him a moment to catch his breath.

“A Mu.”

Su Xiao shouted loudly, and upon hearing his call, A Mu threw the ice shield in his hand, causing two melee contractors in front of him to stumble back.

A Mu raised both hands, white mist rising from his palms.

Bang!

A Mu slammed his hands on the ground, quickly forming an ice wall that divided the entire factory in two, with Su Xiao, Iron Rat, and five melee fighters on the left side, and A Mu, Bubu Wang, and four Blood Gate melee fighters plus all the ranged and support class on the right.

This ice wall was at least two meters thick; breaking through it was less efficient than poking holes in the previous walls A Mu froze.

A Mu successfully isolated the terrain after enduring so many hits, intentionally saving his ice wall technique for this critical moment.

Upon seeing the ice wall form, Iron Rat’s heart skipped a beat, and his steps toward Su Xiao slowed. In the brief moment he hesitated, two sharp cries reached his ears.

Su Xiao kicked a melee contractor in the neck. This guy was notably resilient and extremely aggressive. Though he was almost kicked to a broken neck by Su Xiao, the double hook blades in his hands still aimed for Su Xiao, not attacking from the front but hooking from behind.

The contractor grinned, mouth full of blood; this is the Reincarnation Paradise’s contractor. Even if the melee fighters couldn’t match Su Xiao, after the initial terror, they soon fought desperately.

The Hook Blade Contractor tilted his head, clamping onto Su Xiao’s pants leg with his mouth, while the contractor sliced in half by Su Xiao reached bare-handed for the Dragon Slash blade.

“Kill him!!”

The contractor, with only his upper body remaining, shouted wildly, bursting into a maniacal laugh, as the remaining three melee contractors all charged at Su Xiao.

Not far away, Iron Rat clenched his hands tightly, a jet-black energy orb appearing in his hands.

Over at Su Xiao’s side, five melee contractors lunged at him from all directions. The one nearly kicked into a spinal fracture bit his pant leg, and the bisected contractor already held onto the Dragon Slash, the blade embedded in his chest, while the remaining unscathed three rushed forward, showing a determination to die with Su Xiao.

Su Xiao shifted his hand holding the blade sideways, the long knife’s side swipe cutting the contractor holding the Dragon Slash into two halves; he couldn’t struggle anymore, cooling in mid-air.

At this point, Su Xiao was balancing on one leg, the other resting on the Hook Blade contractor’s shoulder, with his intuition clearly sensing three other melee fighters pouncing from the left, right, and behind.

Su Xiao pressed down with his body, the Hook Blade Contractor cried out, spewing blood from his mouth, bones cracking throughout his body, no longer able to stand, collapsing to his knees in front of Su Xiao.

As the Hook Blade Contractor knelt, a gem-encrusted hilt enlarged rapidly before his eyes, followed by a dizzying spin.

Bang, with the Dragon Slash’s hilt, Su Xiao knocked the Hook Blade Contractor flying, while the counter shield expanded behind him, blocking the path of the other three contractors’ charge.

Seeing this, the trio had dismal expressions, clearly realizing their desperate charge was in vain.

Su Xiao slashed a blade aura to the left, ignoring the contractor on that side after, while his head tilted leftward as a cold, shining spike skimmed past his ear, an attack from behind.

Just as Su Xiao dodged the spike, the mutation erupted. The pale bone-like spike sprouted several rows of barbs laterally, some of which already pierced Su Xiao’s neck.

The contractor behind Su Xiao yanked with an arm, tearing a strip of flesh from his neck.

Thud!

Su Xiao spun and struck with a slash, the contractor behind him spitting blood, flying away, his pale spike breaking; before he hit the ground, a massive blade aura enveloped him, slicing the defenceless man into pieces.

After dealing with the rear attack, an attack came from Su Xiao’s left; it was a Female Contractor, unarmed but charging him bare-handed.

Su Xiao swung his blade in a cut, and with his speed, the blade edge reached the Female Contractor in a split second.

The Female Contractor’s hair stood on end, certain that if hit by this blade, her protective shield would shatter like an eggshell.

As the blade edge neared her white neck, she suddenly vanished, reappearing behind Su Xiao.

A familiar embrace enveloped Su Xiao from behind; in recent days, he was held by Sha this way countless times, followed by a brutal suplex.

As the Female Contractor embraced him, Su Xiao raised his left arm, and the Boundary Line snapped out, wrapping around the Female Contractor’s neck at this close distance.

Su Xiao yanked his left arm forward, and just as the Female Contractor was about to perform the neck break, she felt a constriction at her throat, followed by intense pain, rendering her body powerless as Blue Steel Shadow Energy invaded through her wound.

Taking this opportunity, Su Xiao seized her face, forcibly pulling her in front, slicing her in two!

The Female Contractor, with only a small part of her upper body remaining, stared at Su Xiao, her eyes quickly losing their light. The battle with these five melee contractors seemed long, but in reality, it had only been a few seconds.

These Fourth-tier Contractors were tough in a fight to the death with Su Xiao. Meanwhile, Iron Rat wasn’t idle either, launching an egg-sized light orb from his hand, seeing the orb, Su Xiao instinctively thought of the Earth Exploding Morning Star.

Fortunately, Iron Rat didn’t know Earth Exploding Morning Star, but the dark orb suddenly emitted a bright light, accompanied by strong gravity.

Crack, crack, crack…

Large cracks appeared on the ice wall dividing the factory, as Iron Rat intended to destroy the terrain, knowing that melee fighters couldn’t handle Su Xiao, and with his defensive training, he wouldn’t disgrace himself by confronting him. Breaking the solid ice was the priority.

With a loud crash, the entire factory was crushed by gravity, with the ceiling’s shattered ice blocks mixed with concrete layers falling down.

Ignoring the incoming long-range contractors, Su Xiao charged straight for Iron Rat. With the epic-quality Dragon Slash in hand, most contractors took two or three hits to defeat, so to him, there were no distinctions of front or rear lines; he struck whoever was closest.

Evidently, Iron Rat misunderstood Su Xiao’s logic. As Su Xiao sprinted toward him, Iron Rat actually took the initiative to meet him, determined not to let Su Xiao escape a second time.
