Chapter 1120: Underestimation
— Father, will we stop them? Silva asked, taking out his whistle and blowing it.
He called in a specially modified dog.
— Stop it? If you dare to step forward, even if you don't take into account Byakuya's reaction, your great-grandfather will definitely show no mercy. He had been alone for too long. Now... No one can stop him but this guy, " Zeno Zoldik's expression was serious. In fact, he didn't want to accept the task from Su Xiao, for he had some ideas about Su Xiao's character, but if he refused him, then this guy would definitely try to flood their castle with fresh blood.
— Get everyone together and tell them to be ready to step in at any moment.
Su Xiao himself was carefully fighting Maha Zoldik at this moment.
The old man could have killed him at any moment.
Su Xiao didn't know much about Maha Zoldik before. At first, he thought that this old man would follow the rules of assassins, but in the end, it turned out that this was not the case.
Although the situation was slightly different from what was expected, Su Xiao didn't mind such changes, as they were good for him. If he was fighting an enemy that didn't want to kill him, the fight would be quite boring.
Moreover, Su Xiao could feel the blood in his entire body boiling.
Fighting people of Mahi's level was very enjoyable.
*Clang-clang-clang...*
Flashes of light flew towards Maha, but black lights immediately shot out from his body and quickly began to destroy these flashes.
Intervene in this fight and stop it? Right now, it sounded like someone's not-so-funny joke. As soon as someone approaches the two of them, they will immediately be attacked by Su Xiao's flashes and Mahi's lights.
— Young man, you are very good, " Maha Zoldik said, and along with that, purple-black blood began to flow out from the wound on his back.
From the outside, it might seem that Maha could defeat his enemy with a single left, but in reality, he was completely focused right now due to the fact that Su Xiao could suddenly disappear.
To be honest, Maha was a little envious of him right now because of this ability, as it was too practical for a melee fighter.
— Your old bones are surprisingly strong, " Su Xiao replied and smiled, revealing his white teeth.
*Ding~*
A metal thread suddenly burst out of the ground and wrapped around Maha's body, but he didn't even move.
In the next moment, the threads stretched taut and easily entered Maha's body, but after a moment, he dissolved.
It was just an afterimage of him.
At the same time, Su Xiao's intuition informed him that a fist was flying at the back of his head.
Sharp nails, glinting with cold light, flew at the back of his head at high speed.
When Su Xiao's intuition warned him of this attack, the nails were already very close to the back of his head.
This attack was too fast, and it was already too late to dodge it.
*Whew~*
Maha's hand pierced through Su Xiao's head, but he didn't feel any resistance, causing his eyes to fill with doubts.
Su Xiao was able to evade this attack by activating the Dragon Shadow, and since he chose to teleport right before the direct touch, Mahi Yi ended up having such a mistaken feeling.
*A clang*
The sharp long blade rushed towards the back of Maha's head, and one of his hands immediately curved and moved towards Su Xiao's throat at a very strange angle.
The long blade stopped right near Maha's head, and the old man's hand stopped right in front of Su Xiao's throat.
Zeno, Silva, Kikyo, and Illumi were only a few meters away.
Their purpose was obvious. Zeno and Illumi had to stop Maha, while Silva and his wife had to stop Su Xiao.
But none of them managed to reach their goal. The power gap was too obvious.
What the four of them didn't expect was that both Su Xiao and Maha would stop by themselves.
In this battle, even though Su Xiao and Maha tried to kill each other, it was just their habits. Otherwise, there was no enmity between them, and they were currently in an employer-subordinate relationship, so they weren't going to cause each other any real wounds.
They really did fight to the death, but at the critical moment, they decided to stop.
*Click-click*
Maha began to return his hands to their normal positions, then turned his head around as well. The black energy was quietly sucked back into his body.
Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon Flash, and its light red aura dissipated.
— What are you nervous about? Maha Zoldik asked and looked at the surrounding family members as if they were children.
— Zeno Zoldick coughed dryly, looking a little embarrassed.
However, in Maha's eyes, they really were children.
Right after the battle ended the wound on Mahi's back recovered in a matter of seconds.
After all, it was a type of reinforcement, so its body was truly astounding.
Su Xiao wiped the blood off his hands. He now realized that he had greatly underestimated his own strength earlier.
Because of this battle, Su Xiao realized that the Dragon's Shadow had made him significantly stronger, but in the last battle and all those arena fights, this improvement wasn't too obvious.
In the arena, Su Xiao tried to avoid using the Dragon's Shadow, as he had to save mana in order to participate in as many battles as possible.
As for the previous battle against the intruder, after using the Dragon Shadow for the first time, his opponent almost threw his skates away immediately.
And now, in this battle, he clearly understood just how amazing this ability was.
In two critical situations, he was able to turn an extremely disadvantageous position into an advantage, thanks to which he was able to match up with Maha.
Without the Dragon Shadow, Su Xiao would have lost very quickly. There was no doubt in his mind about that.
With the help of this battle, Su Xiao realized that he could fight the Ant King. Although he would probably lose in the end, he could at least face him in battle.
That was good news.
If Su Xiao can participate in a battle with him and make a decisive contribution to killing him, he will be able to receive a very generous reward.
For all the contractors who entered the world with him, the Ant King was the main boss, and there would be a very generous bounty on his head.
— Come with me, let's go somewhere else. Although our family's abilities won't help you much, a task is a task, " Maha Zoldik said and waved at Su Xiao, and the two of them left the ruined courtyard.
— I wish he was dead, " Illumi muttered, clearly displeased.
He had a grudge against Su Xiao, but now, if they didn't meet on this mountain, Illumi would definitely die in the battle.
— Don't worry, even if you meet him later, he won't be the first to try to kill you, " Zeno Zoldick said. He noticed something familiar about Su Xiao. He could feel the familiar killer spirit in him, but the Zoldick family was still actively taking orders, while Su Xiao had long since retired.
----
In the forest.
Maha Zoldik showed Su Xiao several techniques of the Zoldik family, starting with the technique of walking, bending the limbs, and so on.
They were quite good, but just like Maha said, they didn't suit Su Xiao.
Su Xiao's fighting style was to fight head-on.
— Maha, I'm interested in something.
— What? " asked Maha, stopping to demonstrate his techniques.
— How did you survive to this day? I feel like you should have died a long time ago. During the battle, it seemed to me that you were not alive in the literal sense of the word.
— Oh, how could I live to see this day? Maha Zoldik said as he looked at Su Xiao and hesitated.
