Chapter 1138: Murder

Duke of Nirvana has 7 rounds left.

Su Xiao looked through the scope at the contractors a kilometer away and realized that they clearly didn't intend to attack him. "They're not going to look for a sniper, the third — rank contractors are so cautious," Su Xiao muttered and took out a shell casing from his rifle.

*Z-z-z-z~*

The moment the shell casing landed on the ground, a short blade suddenly appeared at the back of Su Xiao's head.

The sharp tip of the blade was pointed directly at the back of Su Xiao's head.

The dagger appeared too abruptly and without any warning.

*Click!*

The tip of the blade stopped in front of the back of Su Xiao's head. The 500 mana shield blocked the enemy's attack, but after a few moments, it started to crack.

The blade of this dagger not only contained poison, but also carried the power of five skills: backstab, shadow strike, vital organ penetration, death strike, and death hand.

Since this attack was able to start destroying the 500 mana shield, it was safe to say that the attacker had applied all of his strength to this attack. He wanted to kill Su Xiao in one move, and even though this contractor's target was a sniper, he still decided to play it safe and used all his skills for this attack.

More cracks appeared on the shield. Su Xiao turned his head and looked at the dagger. Its blade was covered in green poison.

Five minutes ago, his intuition had told him that someone was approaching him, but this feeling was very strange and more like someone was moving in and out of his way.

Since the intruder didn't manage to kill Su Xiao in one hit, the scene became extremely awkward.

*Ding~*

The threads immediately tightened. Even Su Xiao's intuition couldn't fully grasp the opponent's movements. This indicated that his opponent had very good concealment.

The threads immediately entangled something, and just as Su Xiao pulled on the threads with all his strength, a slender figure wearing a black hooded cloak appeared not far from him.

Although the threads bit into her body, no blood spurted out.

In the next moment, that figure began to wriggle and eventually dissipated.

This assassin had used a substitution skill, so he definitely couldn't have gone far, but it was very difficult to find him.

Su Xiao placed his hand on the Duke of Nirvana and placed it in the inventory.

After that, he didn't take out the Dragon Flash and didn't let out an aura. Instead, he took out the Wild Hunt Judge, a melee pistol.

Most snipers would have done the same in this situation.

Su Xiao's expression was extremely ugly. Amu, who was not far away, roared angrily and "desperately" rushed towards Su Xiao, and Su Xiao himself also rushed towards him, wanting to team up with him as soon as possible.

More than ten meters away from Su Xiao, the black-cloaked figure was in another dimension. This figure did not use the substitution skill, but used an ability that allowed it to enter another dimension, although the transition took about 3 seconds.

Beneath the black hood, a slightly pale, handsome face was hidden. This woman's appearance was definitely above average and she had a unique temperament.

Besides, she didn't smell like perfume, just blood.

— Do you think I'm stupid? That bull has terrible acting skills, " cold sweat dripped down the woman's white chin. The moment she hit Su Xiao with her dagger, she felt a terrifying aura. She clearly felt that the person in front of her was not a sniper at all.

Amu was still running towards Su Xiao, but Su Xiao suddenly stopped.

— Amu, you're a terrible player.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Amu slowed down and stopped more than ten meters away from him and scratched the back of his head.

— I'm hungry.

— Be patient, " Su Xiao replied and looked around. He was trying to figure out what type of invisibility this assassin had. If this ability worked from light or shadow, it would be quite easy to find it. If this ability was based on blocking perception or averting eyes, then finding an assassin would already be quite difficult. Bubtney was the latter type. It could blend in with its surroundings and completely blocked its existence from other creatures.

Of course, he didn't rule out that his opponent possessed spatial concealment. Such a person will be even more difficult to deal with. Such people were located between two dimensions, for example, something similar Obito possessed.

— Su Xiao's gaze gradually became sharper, and he continued to scan the surroundings, feeling a vague sense of danger.

His intuition told him that the assassin was somewhere nearby.

In Su Xiao's hands, a Dragon Flash appeared in its scabbard.

*A clang*

The longsword slowly began to be drawn from its scabbard.

*Boom!*

A blood-red aura shot out from Su Xiao's body.

It swept through the space around Su Xiao, but unfortunately, it didn't affect anyone. This indicated that his opponent possessed spatial concealment.

Golden light flashed on Su Xiao's sleeves, and black lines immediately clung to the entire area. The pattern obtained in Naruto's world could block a space within a fifty-meter radius of its owner, and it blocked abilities below rank five for 30 minutes.

But even with that, he still didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

— Just as Su Xiao said that, Bubtny appeared at his side. In fact, Bubtney had been squatting beside him for a long time. "Do you feel anything?

Since Bubtney himself could hide from anyone, he could find something unusual around him in case of anything. If their enemy possessed a skill that was similar to Bubtney's, then they might very well be able to detect something unusual around them.

But Bubtney just shook his head.

— Amu, clean up everything here, " Su Xiao said and looked at the contractors who had stopped and started watching what was happening at the top.

At this moment, the bald leader felt very satisfied in his heart. He had thought that they might have killed this sniper more than once, but now that this "sniper" had drawn a sword that was at least gold-grade and carried out such a powerful attack… He felt very happy that he had ordered his men to retreat. This guy wasn't a sniper at all. He was obviously a melee fighter, and this sniper rifle was only meant to make up for his shortcomings at long range.

After the bald leader saw Amu start running towards them, he didn't hesitate anymore and immediately led his men away.

Of course, Amu didn't follow them to the last and ended up going back to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao himself was sitting on a huge rock. He could sense that the assassin was still nearby, but he didn't know exactly how he managed to hide from him.

But his opponent obviously couldn't get away for some reason, but he wasn't going to come out of his hiding place either.

And this assassin clearly wasn't going to fight him one - on-one, however, it wasn't surprising considering Su Xiao's skills.
