Chapter 1360: Chapter 71: Died Twice (Update 4)

Including Lan Zuo, the Masked Man, and others, a total of 43 contractors surrounded Su Xiao. They weren’t newly ascended ’novices’ to the Fourth Tier, but a group of lone wolves who had firmly established themselves there.

The heavily wounded Masked Man had retreated to the edge of the crowd, but she didn’t stop. After being half-dead at Su Xiao’s hands, seeing him made her wounds feel like they were searing with pain.

The 42 contractors surrounding Su Xiao didn’t immediately attack. They all knew that once Su Xiao died, Roger’s Side Gun would drop.

Moreover, Su Xiao was clearly not someone to be trifled with. It wasn’t impossible for him to drag one or two people down with him before dying. Even getting severely injured in a fight with Su Xiao wasn’t worth it, as it would only benefit others.

”Focus fire and kill him.”

As soon as a lone wolf spoke, Su Xiao’s body flashed with blue light, and needle-like energy surged around him.

A moment later, the needle-like energy dissipated, and a faint blue mist shrouded Su Xiao’s body. The mist slowly dispersed, and the center of his black pupils glowed with blue light.

”Phew.”

Su Xiao exhaled a breath of blue mist, initiating Demonic Hunt Time with a duration of 100 seconds.

”This guy seems...not quite right.”

The contractor who had just shouted to focus fire on Su Xiao started to speak, slowly retreating.

A faint breaking sound came from behind him, and a slash appeared behind him.

This lone wolf used a short trident to block behind him, sparks flew, and he staggered forward a few steps. It’s worth noting that this lone wolf’s reaction speed was extremely quick; an average contractor wouldn’t have been able to block Su Xiao’s knife at all.

Bright red blood spurted from the lone wolf’s neck, his expression full of astonishment.

Slashed across the throat with one swipe, the lone wolf was nearly in a brink of death state, and he immediately thought of using a life-saving ability.

With a swoosh, a blue shadow pierced through the lone wolf’s skull, leaving only a wisp of blue filament in the air.

Thud.

The lone wolf fell, his throat cut by one blade, his head by another, both were fatal spots. Coupled with massive true damage, he didn’t even manage a scream before he was killed instantly.

Su Xiao’s figure appeared; he had penetrated space four times in total. The first two times, he arrived behind the lone wolf and slashed, was blocked, and immediately moved in front of him. After a cut to the throat, he moved to the side and thrust the long knife, piercing the opponent’s skull.

Seeing the fallen lone wolf and Su Xiao standing next to the corpse, Lan Zuo’s pupils shrunk rapidly. He hadn’t even seen how Su Xiao killed the enemy, and the surrounded lone wolves looked on with fear.

”This blue mist is... the Demon Hunting Suit.”

A lone wolf turned to flee, but at the next moment, he suddenly stopped in place, his body leaned back, and a long knife sliced past his vision.

In the next moment, the fleeing lone wolf felt numb in his thigh, then a stabbing pain in the back of his neck, and finally, everything went dark.

Lightning flashed, and Lan Zuo transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing to escape into the distance.

Clang!

A brilliant blade aura penetrated the lightning, droplets of blood splattered, and Lan Zuo staggered a few steps before materializing.

A pair of eyes glowing with blue light stared at Lan Zuo, who stopped, with a not-too-deep slash mark appearing on his chest.

Su Xiao exuded elegant blue mist all over, and the repeated spatial penetrations had caused a faint pain throughout his body.

Lightning gathered in Lan Zuo’s hand, and right now, nothing else mattered. It was either life or death—surrender or begging for mercy was impossible for Lan Zuo.

Clang.

The blade aura collided with the lightning; Su Xiao’s movements could now be described as elusive. With the increase in his true stamina attribute, he could now consecutively use Dragon Shadow Flash six times, needing only 1 to 2 seconds of rest afterward.

After Dragon Slash ascended to the legendary level, the movement range of Dragon Shadow Flash increased to 0 to 10 meters. This meant Su Xiao could instantly move 60 meters away, and after resting for 1 to 2 seconds, he could move another 60 meters.

The Blue Steel Shadow energy was fully unleashed, enveloping Dragon Slash. During the 100 seconds of Demonic Hunt Time, Su Xiao needn’t consider mana consumption at all.

Crackle—

Lighting flashed, and an arm flew, splattering a lot of blood onto the ground.

Lan Zuo, whose arm was severed, stumbled backward several steps. He had fought space series enemies more than ten times, but he had never seen a spatial movement ability this fast.

In fact, Su Xiao wasn’t technically using spatial movement. He was directly penetrating space without considering the rules of the fourth or eleventh dimension. What he did was penetrate through regardless of the dimension to reach where he intended, ignoring all the processes of spatial movement; naturally, it was fast.

Squelch.

Another half arm flew up, and Lan Zuo fell to the ground in his seventh escape attempt.

Blood dripped from the corner of Su Xiao’s mouth. After the battle with the Black Cat Woman, he was already injured, and with the burden of space penetration, his body was struggling to cope.

Su Xiao appeared ten meters away from Lan Zuo, and as Lan Zuo transformed into lightning, he dashed towards Su Xiao, having figured out some patterns.

Lightning surged past Su Xiao; Lan Zuo returned to solid form and, after a few more steps, fell to his knees with a thud.

Su Xiao appeared not far from Lan Zuo, exerting force in his hand, crushing a heart. It was Lan Zuo’s heart.

Lan Zuo barely stood up from the ground, glancing sideways at Su Xiao.

”You win.”

Lan Zuo smiled faintly, and his body lunged forward, and at the moment Lan Zuo fell, Su Xiao received a kill notification.

[You have killed contractor number 10572.]

[You gain 1178 points of Pirate Reputation.]

Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from his original spot, appearing in front of some ruins, stabbing the long knife into the ground.

With a pop, an arm broke through the soil, fingers clawing a few times before falling still.

[You have killed contractor number 10572.]

[You gain 206 points of Pirate Reputation.]

The same number, but different amounts of Pirate Reputation. Su Xiao had ’killed’ Lan Zuo ’twice,’ or more accurately, when Su Xiao pulled out Lan Zuo’s heart, Lan Zuo had split in two, a bit similar to the Second Tsuchikage from the Naruto World.

This wasn’t a clone; Lan Zuo split from one entity into two, both having the same number. Su Xiao first killed the split-off, and Lan Zuo loaded a lot of Pirate Reputation on the split-off, trying to deceive Su Xiao.

After splitting, Lan Zuo was exceptionally weak, to the point where he was unable to move while hiding underground.

The moment of Lan Zuo’s split—or rather, the moment when Lan Zuo was about to die—Su Xiao sensed the anomaly beneath him, indicating a passive Substitute Death Ability.

Lan Zuo truly was a cunning old fox. Without intuition ability, Su Xiao would have definitely been deceived by him.

Su Xiao pulled out the long knife, a feeling of weakness emanated from inside him. Surveying his surroundings, there were no more contractors, including the Masked Man. They had all scattered and fled. As for Roger’s Side Gun, compared to their lives, the gun wasn’t important.

A crimson card floated up from the underground, Lan Zuo’s Scarlet Card. Su Xiao picked up the Scarlet Card.

”Bubu.”

Hearing Su Xiao’s call, Bubu Wang came running quickly, and Su Xiao mounted the Bubu Wang.

A kilometer away, the snipers at several vantage points didn’t fire. They were terrified.

A moment later, Su Xiao disappeared from their sight.

In a hospital ward, the Masked Man curled up entirely, hiding under the hospital bed.

”Scared me to death, what kind of ability is that? It’s absurdly strong. Damn it, if I encounter him next time...”

The Masked Man held her breath for a long time, unable to think of what would happen if she met Su Xiao again. Most likely, if they met again, she would still be pinned down and hammered to death.
