Free Web NovelChapter 1242: Chapter 57: Gos’s Counterattack
Blood splattered, and slashes appeared on Long Knife Handler · Void’s body. Su Xiao’s speed was too fast. Although Long Knife Handler · Void was not powerless to fight back, its counterattack could only temporarily force Su Xiao to retreat.
Large cracks appeared on the stone wall behind Long Knife Handler · Void, with blood seeping into the rock crevices, resembling a bloody mural. The mural’s content was Su Xiao’s atrocities.
Swish.
An ear was cut off, and the enraged Long Knife Handler · Void roared, slashing its long-handled blade towards Su Xiao.
The intuition ability captured the trajectory of the slash from the long-handled blade. It was a powerful horizontal cut, the most commonly used cleave by cavalry. However, without a horse’s cooperation, this move appeared cumbersome.
Su Xiao did not choose to dodge. Although he could avoid the blade, he would have to retreat while doing so, and now he had Long Knife Handler · Void pinned against the wall. If he retreated, Long Knife Handler · Void would have a chance to catch its breath.
Moreover, Su Xiao’s power was stronger than Long Knife Handler · Void’s, so he felt no pressure in a direct confrontation.
Su Xiao positioned Dragon Slash vertically by his side, his body slightly leaning towards the incoming cleave.
Bang! The weapons collided.
Small stones flew from beneath Su Xiao’s feet. He gripped the blade handle with one hand and braced the blade’s spine with the other, applying force with both hands to begin grappling with Long Knife Handler · Void.
At the start of the grapple, Su Xiao bent one knee in front of him and kicked straight towards Long Knife Handler · Void’s abdomen. After suffering dozens of kicks from Su Xiao, Long Knife Handler · Void was obviously cautious. It immediately bent its right leg to shield its abdomen.
Bam! frёewebηovel.cѳm
Long Knife Handler · Void spat out blood droplets. It had been kicked straight and side-kicked numerous times by Su Xiao, leaving its internal organs in critical condition.
Compared to the internal injuries, the slashes deep enough to reach the bone on Long Knife Handler · Void’s body were even more fatal. A massive influx of Blue Steel Shadow energy invaded its body, and despite its thick skin, it couldn’t withstand the true damage of Blue Steel Shadow.
Su Xiao glanced at Long Knife Handler · Void’s data, noting its Life Value had dropped to 46%. This guy’s physique was indeed tough; if it were any other type of enemy, Su Xiao would have reduced it to a heap of shredded meat by now.
"Bari Tu Tan (Unknown Language)."
Long Knife Handler · Void roared, its head tilted back in an unknown language. Each Derivative World or Original World has many languages. Su Xiao had spent Paradise coins to master the more mainstream and commonly used ones. Clearly, the language Long Knife Handler · Void was using now was ancient or lost.
"It’s summoning soldiers."
A timid female voice came from none other than the Silly White Sweet Princess, Elisa Herbert.
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow and slashed toward Long Knife Handler · Void’s throat, while glancing at Elisa Herbert out of the corner of his eye.
"What did it say at first?"
Su Xiao shouted, as the blade in his hand sliced through Long Knife Handler · Void’s throat, blood splashing out in large spouts, and Long Knife Handler · Void’s Life Value plummeted.
"Invaders."
Elisa Herbert clearly understood the language used by Long Knife Handler · Void, which was good news. But the immediate priority was to finish the fight.
According to Elisa’s translation, Long Knife Handler · Void was summoning soldiers. However, the surroundings were empty, and Long Knife Handler · Void merely roared without having the chance to use its summoning ability.
From this assessment, Long Knife Handler · Void wasn’t using a summoning ability to teleport soldiers in, but rather summoning soldiers already stationed within the tomb.
Swish, swish...
Blood splattered as Su Xiao landed three consecutive slashes on Long Knife Handler · Void’s chest, abdomen, and shoulder. Given a few more seconds, he was confident in slaughtering Long Knife Handler · Void on the spot.
Rumble.
Dense footsteps echoed from the stone corridor, guarded by Bubu Wang and A Mu. The footsteps rapidly approached, and within seconds, over two hundred Undead Clan soldiers clad in blood-red armor charged forward.
They didn’t swarm mindlessly but maintained an orderly formation.
The front row consisted of over fifty Undead Clan soldiers wielding heavy shields. They stood about three meters tall, their bodies beneath the armor robust, making them shield infantry.
Behind these shield infantry were over a hundred Undead Spearmen wielding long spears, the most numerous, numbering over a hundred.
Further back were some Undead Soldiers wielding longbows, dressed in light blood-red leather armor, arranged in a small formation—the least numerous undead unit.
Judging by their charging formation, these undead soldiers were definitely not miscellaneous troops but rather a small elite force.
Bubu Wang, A Mu, and Gos blocked the path of these undead soldiers. The soldiers were in the corridor the group had entered, and as long as Bubu Wang, A Mu, and Gos could hold them off, they wouldn’t be able to join Long Knife Handler · Void.
If Bubu Wang, A Mu, and Gos worked together, blocking these undead soldiers wouldn’t be difficult.
But at this moment, Gos, standing alongside Bubu Wang and A Mu, suddenly stepped back, rushing towards Elisa Herbert, intending to protect her.
Gos seemed to be protecting Elisa Herbert, but in reality, he intended to endanger Su Xiao and the others, or rather, he didn’t want to delve deeper into the tomb.
With only Bubu Wang and A Mu remaining, they could handle the undead shield infantry and spearmen, but the Undead Archers wielding longbows posed a significant threat. If not dealt with, even A Mu would be turned into a pincushion.
Su Xiao was curious about where these undead soldiers originated. He had a vague suspicion, but if it was as he thought, then his negligence was to blame.
Fortunately, the current situation wasn’t dire. Su Xiao slashed toward Long Knife Handler · Void, who quickly raised its massive blade to block. Just as it blocked Su Xiao’s blade, a sidekick from Su Xiao followed.
Bam!
Long Knife Handler · Void was kicked away—this was the power of Sword Technique Master Level 40 combined with Close Combat Specialization Level 40. Su Xiao could kill not only with the weapon in his hand but his legs, too, were deadly weapons. freёweɓnovel.com
As Su Xiao kicked Long Knife Handler · Void away, he gave a signal to Bubu Wang and A Mu. The three had experienced countless battles together and naturally had great teamwork.
Almost in unison, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and A Mu charged at Gos, who was standing in front of Elisa, his expression clearly startled.
"Moo!"
A Mu lowered its two horns and charged towards Gos, who truly hadn’t expected Su Xiao and his companions to act so decisively.
Compared to the charging A Mu, Su Xiao was even faster; a black shadow swept past, and Su Xiao had already reached Gos.
Dragon Slash collided with the Knight Sword in Gos’s hand. Though arrogant, Gos did possess some skill. When the longsword and the blade edge collided, Gos’s body slightly leaned forward.
With a clang, sparks flew, and Gos felt immense force through his hand. Just as he prepared to engage in a brief showdown with Su Xiao, Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from in front of him.
