Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 714: Chapter 24: Accumulated Achievements

The two Resentful Servants were shoving each other under the wall, with one of them seemingly preparing to produce an exoskeleton.

Su Xiao watched the two nearby Resentful Servants, feeling speechless. He had been waiting for them to walk away on their own, but who would have thought these two would actually look like they were about to engage in a serious fight.

Su Xiao stood up on the wall, Dragon Slash appeared in his hand. He couldn’t let these two Resentful Servants continue their quarrel, or worse, start fighting, as it would attract more Resentful Servants.

”I’ll kill you!”

One Resentful Servant beneath the wall was at the brink of fury, unable to control his emotions.

”What are you doing...”

The other Resentful Servant remained relatively calm but suddenly sensed a gust above his head.

Slash.

A brilliant flash of a blade crossed, and the furious Resentful Servant’s head was severed, his expression still locked in rage.

Blood spattered onto the face of the other Resentful Servant, his expression momentarily stunned, quickly ready to shout.

Zi—

The sound of a metal wire tightening came, with the Boundary Line coiling around the Resentful Servant’s throat, stopping him from crying out.

Su Xiao stepped forward rapidly, delivering a frontal slash that was as fast as lightning, leaving the Resentful Servant no time to react.

Zing.

Dragon Slash hummed softly, the Resentful Servant stood motionless in place with a bloodline appearing on his face, his head having already been sliced into two halves.

Su Xiao looked at Dragon Slash in his hand, puzzled by his previous strike. He had only intended a side slash, yet the speed of the blade was surprisingly swift, so much so that he himself was astonished. It was merely an instinctive slash.

”What happened?”

He swung a few more slashes at the air, but the previous blistering speed did not reappear.

Just in that moment, the Sword Technique Master, LV.30 in Su Xiao’s skill list, suddenly emitted a gold light, though he hadn’t noticed it himself.

Although he didn’t notice the changes in the Sword Technique Master, Su Xiao had a vague feeling that perhaps the sword technique abilities are not as simple as they currently appear.

Just that incredibly fast slash can’t be explained easily. If he had used such speed while fighting Dill Multo, the opponent would be either dead or crippled.

...

The bodies of the two Resentful Servants lay on the ground, their blood soaking the surrounding area.

Su Xiao didn’t deal with the two corpses; the smell of blood had already spread, and dealing with the bodies wouldn’t help, which was precisely why Su Xiao hadn’t made a move earlier.

Since he had already acted, the original infiltration plan had to change, switching to the ’Su’s Infiltration Method,’ which essentially meant fighting his way in.

When he initially discovered those spine rats, Su Xiao had felt that secretly infiltrating Liu Dong Temple was unlikely, so he had prepared accordingly in advance.

Su Xiao focused his mind, and seconds later, a loud explosion came from the direction of Liu Dong Temple’s main gate.

Boom!

Firelight surged into the sky at the main gate of Liu Dong Temple, the gate was blown to pieces, with fireballs scattered everywhere.

”There’s an enemy!”

”Enemy attack!”

Several loud shouts followed, but Su Xiao didn’t leave the small courtyard in the corner of Liu Dong Temple, instead, waiting in place.

Rushed footsteps approached, and Su Xiao wedged open a crack in the courtyard door, through which he could see hundreds of torch-bearing Resentful Servants rushing toward the main gate.

Firelight blazed at the main gate. If it were just Alchemy Bombs, such a massive fire wouldn’t have occurred, but it was different if gasoline bombs were used.

After those Resentful Servants rushed near the main gate, they found no enemies. The fire at the main gate was critical, as it had already started to spread within the Liu Dong Temple.

”Put out the fire, hurry!”

The forehead of the Resentful Servant Leader bulged with veins; the Liu Dong Temple was their territory now, and it couldn’t be burned down.

If killing Resentment Creatures was a blood feud for Su Xiao, then setting fires was a deadly enmity, as it was an act of utter destruction.

Su Xiao didn’t care about these things; his goal was simply to infiltrate the Liu Dong Temple. Whether or not the Resentment Creatures were angry had nothing to do with him.

The fire began to spread towards the Main Palace, with hundreds of Resentful Servants grabbing sticks or buckets to fight the fire, but with little effect. Could the special gasoline bombs produced by Reincarnation Paradise be so easily extinguished? Not to mention using water, even using fire extinguishers might not be effective.

The firelight illuminated half of Liu Dong Temple, and chaos reigned within.

Taking this opportunity, Su Xiao swiftly left the small courtyard, entering a position towards the center and back of the Main Palace.

He moved quickly along the edge of the Main Palace. As soon as Su Xiao heard footsteps nearby, he immediately hid; if he couldn’t hide, he would kill the witnesses.

After moving quickly for a few minutes, Su Xiao killed a few isolated Resentful Servants along the way. Their Life Assimilation was not high, so they were relatively weak, but Su Xiao vaguely sensed something was off—his sword was getting faster, so fast it was almost incredible even to him.

Soon, Su Xiao arrived in the spacious courtyard where he had previously seen the Array. In iron cages at the courtyard’s edge, ordinary people were curled in the corners.

Su Xiao dashed to the cages, a flash of blade light, and several cage doors were cut open. Under the astonished gazes of those ordinary people, Su Xiao instantly disappeared in the spacious courtyard.

Turbulent waters make it easier to fish, so the more chaotic Liu Dong Temple was, the better.

The ordinary people also realized this was a chance to escape. Although they were almost collapsing in terror, some had stronger mental fortitude. When the first person escaped the cage, not even twenty seconds later, the cages were empty.

This was great; the large fire at the temple gate had now spread to the front of the Main Palace, and the ordinary people imprisoned within had also escaped.

In less than two minutes, scattered ordinary people were discovered by the Resentful Servants.

...

At the main gate of Liu Dong Temple, the face of the Resentful Servant Leader was extremely grim. He appeared exceptionally angry, but in reality, he was fearful. Liu Dong Temple was temporarily under his control, as his master was sleeping in the Eternal Life Pool.

”L-Lord, what should we do?”

A Resentful Servant ran up to the leader, his clothes mostly burned.

The Resentful Servant Leader’s gaze was like a hungry wolf, his muscles tense.

”Don’t panic. Most should stay to put out the fire, while a small group guards the passage from the Main Palace to the Dharma Hall.”

”What about those who escaped...”

”Ignore them; they won’t escape Liu Dong Temple. An outsider has intruded. Capturing the invader is of utmost importance.”

This Resentful Servant Leader was not only formidable in combat but also quickly realized the abnormality amidst the chaos.

More than four hundred Resentful Servants left over three hundred to fight the fire, and the remaining hundred followed him straight towards the Dharma Hall.

At this time, in the passage from the Main Palace to the Dharma Hall.

Drip, drip.

Blood dripped from the blade of Dragon Slash, as Su Xiao walked right through the passage. Nearby were the corpses of a dozen slaughtered Resentful Servants.

Before this battle began, Su Xiao had once again experienced an indescribable sensation, which seemed to be an enlightenment of Sword Technique. His sword speed had increased several times over. Do not underestimate this multiplication; it was an extremely frightening speed.

Su Xiao swung a few virtual slashes, creating a ’web of blades’ in front of him. This web wasn’t composed of Blade Aura; it was merely the afterimage left by the immense speed of his cleaves.

Su Xiao had been investing resources in Sword Technique, and when it reached LV.20, his Sword Technique had achieved a Supernatural Domain, slicing through steel with ease.

Upon reaching LV.30, a qualitative change occurred. However, because the time since reaching LV.30 was short, Su Xiao hadn’t fully unleashed the power of Sword Technique LV.30. After a period of combat integration, its power gradually manifested.

”The enemy is here!”

A few Resentful Servants rushed out from the Dharma Hall direction, as Su Xiao stomped the ground, charging straight into their midst.

Clang, clang, clang...

The sweet sound of blades echoed, as streaks of light gold slashes flashed among the Resentful Servants.

Su Xiao didn’t stop his advancing steps, and he didn’t even glance at the Resentful Servants.

Whoosh-

One Resentful Servant, sliced into more than a dozen pieces, shattered open. They didn’t even have a chance to react; Su Xiao’s sword was just too fast.

If Sword Technique LV.20 improved the Slicing Power, then LV.30 substantially increased the Slicing Speed. This speed wasn’t due to attribute enhancements nor equipment boosts but Su Xiao’s enlightenment of Sword Technique.

This speed, swift as thunder, was a perfect match with the sharpness of Dragon Slash. The combined combat strength was far from a simple 1+1; Su Xiao’s cumulative efforts erupted today.
