Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 793: Chapter 24: See

In the sky, dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled.

A silver lightning bolt struck down at the horizon.

Crack!

The lightning dissipated, and the crisp sound of thunder followed.

Compared to the majestic divine wrath, the cries of battle on the battlefield were more stimulating to one’s nerves.

The Counter Shield beside Su Xiao expanded, the edges of the hexagonal Counter Shield were shaped into blades, slicing an orc and knocking it back.

The orc that was knocked back was just about to counterattack when a dazzling blade light flashed before its eyes, followed by endless darkness.

A cold sensation appeared on Su Xiao’s face as he was bathing in blood and fighting, he paused, then realized the cool sensation was rainwater.

At this moment, Su Xiao was already on a stone slope on the other side of the fortress, looking around he saw that he was surrounded by orcs and dwarf soldiers.

The tribal soldiers kept pushing forward, and Su Xiao welcomed them fearlessly, killing every tribal soldier that approached within three meters, no matter if it was one or a group.

The cries of battle and the smell of blood stimulated Su Xiao’s nerves. The highland battle had lasted over an hour, and he didn’t know how many he’d killed, nor did he have time to check his battle achievements.

In the dense crowd, even a momentary distraction would lead to the Counter Shield being shattered by the surrounding attacks. Once shattered, if tens or even dozens of weapons hit Su Xiao simultaneously, he might not die, but he would be severely injured, and severe injury meant death was near.

After all, these were elite troops of the tribal army, their combat capabilities were not comparable to the previous miscellaneous troops. Apart from their tenacious fighting spirit, just their attack power and defense were intimidating.

Su Xiao’s intuition was correct. Misguided by the previous battle, many Contractors of Reincarnation Paradise rushed into the tribal army, meeting an inevitable end, quickly torn apart by the elite troops of the tribal army.

Within the tribal large army, Dragon Slash in Su Xiao’s hands emitted cold gleams. Horizontal slashes, lateral slashes, heavy slashes, upward cuts, Dragon Slash flew up and down, claiming the lives of enemy soldiers one by one.

The splattered blood near Su Xiao hadn’t ceased for over an hour. Standing in a pool of blood, his gaze was unusually sharp, his eyes rapidly scanning around, locking onto the attacks and openings of each enemy.

A sound of breaking wind came from behind his head. Although Su Xiao couldn’t see the attack, he could perceive it, a long-handled battle axe was aiming for the back of his head.

With the Counter Shield as a barrier, Su Xiao ignored the attack and instead swung his blade, beheading an enemy beside him. It was a dwarf who had been using its height ”advantage” to harass Su Xiao, annoying him greatly.

With a crack, the Counter Shield around Su Xiao shattered. Although it was sturdy, it had its limits. In a one-on-one, few enemies of the same tier could break the Counter Shield, let alone after the Blue Steel Shadow Ability was upgraded to Level 30, the limit for a single mana consumption of the Counter Shield was 500 points. Even Su Xiao needed time to break a Counter Shield with 500 strength.

Now, on the battlefield surrounded by enemies, the Counter Shield was subjected to dozens, possibly hundreds, of attacks per second. Moreover, the surrounding orcs and dwarves were elite troops, with attack power 2 to 3 times that of ordinary tribal troops.

As the Counter Shield shattered, the breaking wind sound behind Su Xiao’s head became more pronounced. It was the long-handled battle axe that he planned to parry with the Counter Shield. With the shield broken, the axe flew straight towards the back of his head.

Getting hit on the head by this axe must be prevented. Whether or not it cracked his skull, even though Su Xiao had high physical attributes with incredibly sturdy muscles and bones, enduring this axe wouldn’t kill him, but if his head was attacked, he would certainly become disoriented or dizzy for a moment.

Once disoriented or dizzy, the surrounding tribal soldiers would tear him to pieces within 2 seconds.

This is the battlefield. Even with Su Xiao’s power, a single mistake could lead to death.

The pressure of imminent death accelerated Su Xiao’s heartbeat, and the blade of the axe approached closer.

At this moment, Su Xiao experienced a strange feeling, his originally calm mindset changed, becoming passionate.

Thump～

His heart beat, the strong heart contracted, pumping blood throughout the body due to multiple Physical Attribute enhancements.

Su Xiao’s face broke into a smile, revealing snow-white teeth. The crisis on the battlefield, the pressure of death, triggered something in his nerves.

At this moment, the axe blade was less than 3 centimeters from the back of Su Xiao’s head, and his black hair was lifted by the gust it produced.

Strangely, this back-approaching attack, which Su Xiao should only be able to perceive, he ”saw” at this moment.

He didn’t see the specific appearance of the axe but ”saw” its shape, trajectory, falling position, and more.

Su Xiao bent his left knee, tilting his upper body to the left.

Whoosh～

The axe nearly brushed past Su Xiao’s head, its sharp edge even cutting off a few strands of his black hair.

As the axe barely missed his temple, he reached out with his left hand, clad in a crimson gold bracer, Blue Steel Shadow Energy clinging to his hand.

Bam!

Su Xiao grabbed the end of the axe, where there was no blade. He turned his head slightly, and a bewildered orc soldier stood at his right rear.

Applying force with his hand, cracks appeared on the fine steel battle axe.

With a snap, the fine steel battle axe shattered into metal fragments. At the same time, a fully durable Counter Shield formed beside Su Xiao, blocking attacks from all directions.

The orc holding the long-handled battle axe or, rather, the iron rod suddenly felt immense force from his hand, as Su Xiao had seized the iron rod.

The orc soldier was suddenly whirled around. He quickly let go of the iron rod and his body flew upwards.

In mid-air, the orc soldier let out a sigh of relief, finally distant from a terrifying enemy. As this thought crossed his mind, he heard the sound of breaking wind, then his head was struck, his vision turned red, and he ultimately slipped into darkness.

With a splash, the orc soldier whose head had been pierced by the iron rod fell into the crowd, silenced forever.

Su Xiao, like a soul reaper on the battlefield, every enemy approaching him was destined to die.

The crowd grew denser around him, and the durability of the Counter Shield plunged at an accelerated rate. Realizing this, the muscles of Su Xiao’s right arm slightly bulged.

The Counter Shield expanded outwards, at which point the orcs hacking at it joyfully fixed their bloodshot eyes on Su Xiao.

Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon Slash, and upon seeing this, a nearby dwarf soldier felt a chill throughout his body. Just twenty minutes ago, he had seen Su Xiao assume this stance, and a vast number of tribal soldiers perished afterward.

”Run...”

Clang!

The Ring Blade Slash spread outward like an ever-expanding ring, and within a dozen meters around Su Xiao, the tribal army fell like wheat, with no intact enemy corpses remaining after the slash.

Su Xiao exhaled deeply. Facing such high-intensity combat, he inevitably began to feel fatigued, as he was exerting himself to kill enemies.

Ten meters away, a dwarf lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. The moment the Ring Blade Slash spread, he had immediately dropped down, saving his life with his 1.3-meter stature.

The dwarf, having narrowly escaped death, looked at Su Xiao, only to find Su Xiao staring back at him.

”You actually dodged it.”

Having just used Ring Break, Su Xiao’s right arm felt weak for a second or two. He could still swing his blade, but resting for a few moments allowed him to use Ring Break multiple times without tiring his right arm excessively. So he didn’t use a blade aura attack, instead, the ”Ghost Hunter” crossbow appeared in his left hand, this light golden quality crossbow pre-loaded, now just needing aim and pulling the trigger.
