Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 901: Chapter 31: The White-Haired One Provoked

Ten minutes later, a loud boom echoed within the research institute.

In the corridor near the central control room, the walls on both sides have been violently dismantled. Not only this corridor, but dozens of laboratories surrounding it have also been affected. Su Xiao and One-Way Street’s battlefield has shifted multiple times, and the two have nearly leveled this experimental institution. Inside the research institute, sparks fly everywhere, and it’s on the verge of being discarded. There are more than a dozen holes on the ceiling.

On the second floor of the research institute, a few white lines suddenly appeared on a metal wall. The wall was shattered, and Su Xiao walked out from behind the broken wall. His clothes showed visible damage, and the cuff on his right arm was completely shattered, revealing a somewhat swollen arm.

”The 254th reflection, the reflected power shows no sign of diminishing.”

Su Xiao looked at One-Way Street in the distance. In most cases, the opponent stood motionless with hands in pockets. From start to finish, One-Way Street only actively attacked Su Xiao three times, and none of those three times caused substantial damage. After that, One-Way Street did not actively attack again.

Is One-Way Street not hostile? Absolutely not. He’s constantly thinking about how to kill Su Xiao. The reason he’s standing still is to conserve stamina.

One-Way Street has already guessed Su Xiao’s strategy: a war of attrition. At first, One-Way Street found it somewhat amusing. The opponent actually wants to use direct attacks to deplete his stamina, causing brain fatigue from using superpowers, which is a ludicrous approach. After all, he’s withstood the full-force attack of armies head-on.

However, after a few minutes, One-Way Street can’t laugh anymore. Su Xiao’s every cleave carries massive power, and One-Way Street has to perform extensive calculations to reflect the attacks. A few dozen times is nothing, but when the calculations reach hundreds of times, his forehead begins to ache.

And now One-Way Street feels his temples throbbing—this is the aftereffect of continuously performing high-intensity calculations over a short period.

Clang.

The long knife in Su Xiao’s hand again cleaved towards One-Way Street. Not reflecting means death, while reflecting would further exhaust the brain.

Boom～

Su Xiao was propelled backward by a mighty force, his arm beginning to feel numb.

With a bang, Su Xiao crashed into the wall. Yet in the next moment, he surged out of the large pit on the wall like a cannonball, continuing to pounce on One-Way Street.

With the same slicing force but from different angles, Su Xiao had swung the knife like this 256 times, each time with full force. He most worried that his right arm wouldn’t hold. ℴℴ𝘮

As expected, the blade bounced off as soon as it touched One-Way Street’s skin. Su Xiao didn’t activate Blue Steel Shadow, which can’t invade the enemy’s body if it can’t cause harm. Besides, Blue Steel Shadow is a form of energy, and there’s a high probability that it would be reflected by One-Way Street.

Su Xiao’s strategy is to continuously attack One-Way Street, not allowing the opponent a moment’s respite.

”You filthy wretch, die!”

One-Way Street kicked a piece of alloy plate, which rapidly flew towards Su Xiao.

The brilliance of the knife flashed, and the alloy plate was cleaved into dozens of pieces, flying past Su Xiao’s side. He rushed towards One-Way Street expressionless.

Rush forward, swing the knife, get thrown back, repeat the cycle. Su Xiao is like a robot programmed with instructions, silently repeating this process, unstoppable by any situation unless he dies.

When Su Xiao swung the 467th knife, Dragon Slash’s durability had become 32/98. As it turns out, his investment all along hasn’t been in vain. Though he himself was nearly shattered, Dragon Slash was unscathed.

Boom～

Still propelled back, but Su Xiao has figured out One-Way Street’s habitual use of abilities. One-Way Street habitually reflects the enemy’s attacks in a reverse direction, thus causing more significant damage to the enemy.

After being propelled far, Su Xiao landed in a half-crouch position, spat out bloody saliva, and continued towards One-Way Street.

”Get lost from me!”

One-Way Street’s eyes were full of bloodshot threads. He was pissed off. He stretched his arms outward, leaning backward, and changed the vector of the surrounding air.

Boom!

A powerful kinetic wave spread in all directions, an air wave. Mid-charge, Su Xiao was bounced off, and with a clang, collided with an alloy column, a meter-thick alloy column bent upon his collision.

”Should be dead by now...huff, huff...”

Thick dust surged within the research institute, and One-Way Street let his arms droop, breathing heavily and rapidly. Su Xiao’s every cleave packed a strong slicing power, and one cleave followed another, giving him no moment to catch his breath.

One-Way Street has never continuously used his abilities at this high intensity. Even when surrounded by the army, he hadn’t endured such pressure.

After fighting this long, One-Way Street realized one thing: that his current enemy’s attack power far outstrips the relentless bombing of the army.

The dust had yet to settle before a snow-bright long knife sliced through the air and came through the dust. Dragon Slash’s blade was undamaged, and as long as the durability was above ten points, Dragon Slash would not chip.

One-Way Street reflected the cleave while retreating a few steps, and these few retreat steps triggered an extremely severe chain reaction.

Just as Su Xiao was about to charge towards One-Way Street, a prompt appeared from Reincarnation Paradise.

[Prompt: Willpower determination passed, the enemy will suffer the negative effect of release of breath, stamina consumption +27%, body defense -15, 8% chance of failure when releasing skills.]

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao smiled, blood seeping from his gleaming white teeth.

Su Xiao sheathed Dragon Slash, the energy shield wrapped around his arms forming a protective layer tightly against his skin.

The tactical shift occurred. Although the previous tactics can’t wear down One-Way Street, they caused his willpower to waver, triggering the passive effect of release of breath.

Su Xiao was somewhat puzzled why One-Way Street’s will would waver. Yet he himself didn’t consider that a speechless, expressionless enemy continuously charging forward, cleaving one knife after another towards vital points—even when injured, the enemy’s expression wouldn’t change. Facing such an enemy, it’s strange if One-Way Street didn’t waver, not to mention using superpowers at this high intensity repeatedly—the load on the brain is imaginable.

Su Xiao launched his 469th attack towards One-Way Street, unarmed!

Watching Su Xiao approaching with steady footsteps, One-Way Street was full of doubt. Isn’t the enemy fatigued? Hasn’t he already charged nearly a thousand times? Moreover, each time he withstands his reflection; is the enemy made of iron? No, even if built from titanium alloy, it should have deformed by reflecting this many times.

Su Xiao, of course, wasn’t feeling good. Despite having Bu Wang’s support and No.1 Elixir’s recovery, his Life Value remained only at 26%, every part of his body was faintly sore. If One-Way Street continued to hold for five more minutes, he would surely die.

Su Xiao, with heavy steps, charged towards One-Way Street. His breathing was heavy, his rapid heartbeat echoed like drumming beside his ears.

During the battle, Su Xiao had only one thought: kill the enemy. Tasks, Tier 3 Promotion—all these should only be considered after winning. To him, combat was merely combat, either the enemy dies or he perishes, purely.

Tap, Su Xiao’s forward rushing footsteps halted. His feet planted, slid more than twenty centimeters forward, achieving exactly what he calculated.

Body crouched, right arm arched, Su Xiao threw a straight punch at One-Way Street’s face.

Watching Su Xiao charging unarmed, One-Way Street was quite surprised, but then the corners of his mouth arched up, a smile radiating cruelty. He seemed to foresee the scene of the enemy’s hand twisting, agonizing on the ground—no, considering the enemy’s character, there likely won’t be any agonizing.

Su Xiao’s fist touched One-Way Street’s jaw skin, kinetic energy struck the surface of the fist, his right arm recoiling backward.

Su Xiao continued standing, not propelled by One-Way Street’s ability. At the moment right before his fist touched One-Way Street, Su Xiao had already withdrawn his fist’s power. One-Way Street’s reflection habitually adjusts the reflective kinetic energy to 1.4 to 1.9 times the enemy’s attack kinetic energy.

Thus, this powerless punch from Su Xiao merely pulled his arm slightly backward, unscathed by reflective damage.
