Chapter 1353: The Old Bastard
Su Xiao moved his neck and tensed up.
Blood gushed out from a dozen wounds on his body, after which the wounds abruptly closed, and the floor under his feet cracked.
The entire building shook as Su Xiao charged straight for the Mask. He wasn't going to retreat right now, as his opponent was a treacherous 'cat'. Once Su Xiao decided to leave, she would definitely get on his tail and try to get him.
*A clang*
The long sword sliced through the air and should have sliced through the Mask's head, but a moment later, only the cat's ear fell to the floor.
It was a decoration on her helmet.
However, it wasn't really a simple decoration. How could Mask, a fourth-ranked contractor, wear a useless piece of jewelry on her helmet? The ears on her helmet were a signal receiver and signal amplifier, respectively.
After barely dodging Su Xiao's attack, Mask squatted down and planted her hands on the ground.
— Shock! and immediately after these words, impulses began to radiate from the Mask's body.
Su Xiao's vision started to double, as if she could make his entire body vibrate.
For a moment, Su Xiao was stunned, and just as the Mask was about to rip Su Xiao's throat open with its claws, a huge force struck her stomach.
*Boom!*
The mask broke through the ceiling and flew high into the air.
Su Xiao immediately swung his left hand downwards after that punch, and the thread coming from his hand immediately became taut.
With a huge force, the Mask immediately flew down and flew into the same building.
Stepping on her back, Su Xiao sliced her neck open with the blade of his sword.
The soft metal helmet flew away, but he didn't see a drop of blood.
Her armor actually stretched a bit, allowing her to pull her head into her torso.
This allowed her to avoid being beheaded.
The Mask's pupils were quivering. She almost lost her head just now. She had already lost, so shouldn't he have started blackmailing her? Why did he even try to decapitate her right away?
The dragon flash flipped in Su Xiao's hand and the sword blade immediately rushed towards the Mask's chest.
— Wait for it...
*Boom!*
Su Xiao staggered a few steps to the left.
The sniper bullet hit him in the shoulder, or rather, in the energy shield that he managed to form an instant before arriving.
On a tall building a thousand meters away from the battlefield a muscular man with a rubber band in his mouth twitched the bolt of his rifle.
— Little kitty, for Brother Fox's sake, I'll save you this time.
When the shell casing fell to the floor, the sniper aimed at Su Xiao again.
— Is this the ruthless guy who defeated you, Brother Mad Fox? Surprisingly, he is quite ferocious, he was even able to corner the kitty and beat her up well.
The sniper did not make a hasty shot and even turned the scope away from his target. Su Xiao's past shots had left a deep impression on him. He was confident that Su Xiao would be able to detect his position if he did just one careless action.
In the abandoned hospital, Su Xiao looked into the distance, but he still didn't feel anyone's eyes on him.
The mask had already jumped up from the floor and was running away. Since her face was no longer covered by the mask, Su Xiao was able to get a good look at her face.
A girl with delicate features and black eye shadow on her face tried to kill him.
Suddenly electric arcs ran along the walls of the building and the entire building began to collapse.
*Boom!*
Dust and smoke rose into the air. The hospital folded like a house of cards in just a few seconds.
A sword blade flashed in the rubble of the building, then concrete fragments flew in different directions and a figure jumped out of the dust.
— Khe-khe-khe...
Clearing her throat, the Mask crawled out of the wreckage.
When the dust settled down a little, electric arcs appeared nearby.
— Kitty, why didn't you scream? I would have saved you a long time ago if you had called for help right away, " the bald man said as he walked out of the smoke and dust.
— What nonsense, you old bastard, you must have been watching me and waiting for me to die, " the Mask said, sitting by the concrete pillar.
Her armor had been completely repaired by now, and she was wearing exactly the same helmet on her head, but the wounds on her body were still there, making it impossible for her to even stand on her feet properly right now.
— Because of your screaming, all these loners will be coming here soon. Soon, this place will be no different from that tavern, " the bald man, Lazo, said as he touched his head.
After that, Lazo turned his gaze to Su Xiao. Given his words, it was obvious that he was certain that Su Xiao would definitely die here today.
However, such thoughts were not surprising.
On the roofs of the surrounding buildings, some loners have already gathered, and over time they will only become more numerous.
— Is this the sniper? But how did he steal it?
— I do not know, but he certainly has Roger's gun..
— And so, after walking around in a circle, we came to the same denominator. This situation is no different from the one at the tavern.
— I don't care. If I can't get it, no one else can.
Some of the loners started to get close to Su Xiao.
— I'm so glad you made it to this point — " the Mask said, and smiled happily. Even though she was going to die, she would have been glad to see her assailant being ground to powder for the last time.
— You must have been very happy to put all the blame on someone else, right? Lazo asked. From the beginning to this moment, Lazo only wanted to know how Su Xiao pulled it all off.
— Lazo, you better give up, this guy is dumb, " the Mask said and waved her hand.
— Really, Byakuya?
Lazo, of course, knew who his opponent was.
— It's just that you can't kill me, " Su Xiao said for the first time since the start of the fight.
The mask nearby was stunned for a moment, then felt annoyed.
— That's right, I can't, because our leader likes you. Have you finally decided to join us? In that case, all our old grudges will be forgotten, and I'll help you get out of here alive, with half the reward for Roger's gun going to you.".
This trap was quite primitive.
— Lazo's gone mad?
Many of the loners looked at Lazo in surprise.
— And he was normal?
— But?
Lazo actually gave Su Xiao a helping hand. It seemed like a ridiculous choice, but it was actually a neat move.
If Su Xiao was eventually killed, the scene in the Powder Tavern would be repeated. Roger's gun will once again be lying in the middle of the battlefield and no one will be able to touch it.
But if Su Xiao and Lazo acted together, the situation would be very different.
But would Lazo really share the reward with Su Xiao? Obviously not. If he was completely serious, he would have immediately suggested that he sign the contract.
Having voiced such a proposal, Lazo killed two birds with one stone at once. He let the others know that being a part of his group meant you could get a part of the reward for selling the gun, plus you could also get some good friends..
— What nonsense, " the Mask muttered, and began to slowly retreat.
She was in such a bad state that she couldn't take part in this fight.
— No.
Su Xiao obviously wasn't going to believe Lazo.
— It's so hard to fool anyone, " Lazo muttered softly. It was heard by a loner not far from him, causing his pupils to twitch.
He felt and saw that Lazo had made a very sincere offer, but in reality it turned out to be one complete deception.
This guy was truly a heartless person.
Lazo didn't join the Ghost Brigade through a direct invitation from the leader. He killed the tenth one and received an invitation for it, which he immediately used.
Su Xiao had also received a similar invitation in the past, but he hadn't joined the Ghost Brigade. He sold the invitation itself for the Source of Peace.
The invitation itself he received for the murder of Karl, the 11th member of the Ghost Brigade..
Lazo was there 10.
— So, are you ready to fight alone against forty-three? Lazo asked, the smile slowly fading from his face.
A light blue light spread over Su Xiao's body.
Looking around, he realized that it was now... He could only use "this».
