Chapter 1409: Axes
In a different space.
The Goddess of Fortune yawned sweetly.
She was lying on a chaise longue, sipping strawberry juice from a glass through a straw.
— What a horror, the shape is exactly the same as that crazy one, but... The Shadows of Law are such idiots when it comes to Emptiness, hahahahaha, " The Goddess of Fortune was so happy that she laughed out loud. — But where did this 'Goddess' come from?" Local? What a silly girl to appear before the Shadow of the Law in the form of pure life energy, what a brave silly girl! If she enters the Void, one of the beasts will lock her in a cage and raise her as a pet.
The Goddess of Fortune took a sip and shrouded her middle finger in golden energy.
A moment earlier, Su Xiao had seen her middle finger, but in his eyes, it was a tasty morsel of delicious energy.
Su Xiao squeezed his left hand. The figure shrouded in blue smoke was writhing in pain. After the Sword Demon went into hibernation, Su Xiao could use the Devouring Core with almost no restrictions. Now, he didn't have to worry about backlash at all, so he could focus on improving Qing Gang Yin's energy.
Although the Sword Demon's hibernation was fraught with considerable risks, Su Xiao also received some benefits. First, he could absorb energy almost indefinitely, provided, of course, that his body could withstand this energy.
Secondly, Su Xiao could use the Devouring Core to its fullest extent. Blue smoke shrouded his entire body, and his way of judging the world was changing. In this state, he could even observe other spaces, and the life energy within half a kilometer of him wouldn't be able to escape his perception.
And this form didn't affect Su Xiao's sanity in any way. The only downside to this form was that when activated, it would start to look intimidating.
From the outside, it looked like a blue mist, with a pair of blood-red eyes sticking out of it.
Besides, Su Xiao looking directly at the creature's life energy was definitely not a very pleasant experience, even his assistant, a very brave girl, couldn't stop shivering.
[
Thanks to the energy produced by the Devouring Core, Qing Gang Yin's energy began to improve.
Qing Gang Yin's energy has been upgraded to level 41.
Qing Gang Yin's energy has been upgraded to 42...
[
Qing Gang Yin's energy has been upgraded to level 45.
The figure was completely engulfed by the blue smoke, and as soon as there was nothing left of it, the blue smoke disappeared, and the red light in Su Xiao's eyes went out.
Absorbing this figure alone was roughly equivalent to absorbing 20 dragon resurrection essences, but by refining this amount of energy, Qing Gang Yin's skill had only increased by 5 levels.
The higher Qing Gang Yin's energy level was, the more and more energy was needed to improve this skill. As for spending soul crystals to level up, Su Xiao didn't even think about it, as he had other skills that couldn't be improved any other way.
The Goddess of Fortune wasn't going to get involved in a fight between Su Xiao and the Goddess of Dawn. She was just watching the fun out of boredom.
After Su Xiao disabled the Devouring Core, he could no longer see the ball of golden energy in another space. He didn't know if absorbing this ball could improve his Qing Gang Yin energy, but he felt that absorbing this ball would increase his luck.
Unfortunately, the Goddess of Fortune was very timid and had no intention of leaving her space at all.
— This... impossible. The officer lying on the floor couldn't believe his eyes. The goddess that the four of them summoned was actually 'eaten' by two blue monsters. One swallowed her head, while the other "swallowed" her body.
— You can't rely on these gods. Only weapons are reliable, " the assistant said, picking up the pistol from the floor.
— How dare you, mortal, defame me?...
*A clang*
The four officers immediately stopped moving, and Su Xiao received 32 Heaven Merit Points.
A golden treasure chest appeared on the floor. After picking it up, he immediately put it back in his inventory and continued walking towards his goal.
[
You have received a treasure chest (gold, obtained in the world of war).
This treasure chest was slightly different from ordinary chests. It was marked as "obtained in the world of war", which meant that there were slightly better rewards in it.
Su Xiao, holding a long sword in his hand, went straight to the back of the fifth floor. Earlier, he saw that there were 6 people in the farthest room. One of them had very strong life energy, while the remaining five were slightly stronger than ordinary people.
The assistant began to walk behind him, so that no one would come out behind them, although the probability of appearance was not very high.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived at the farthest door. All the doors of the other rooms were made of wood, but this one was made of spiral steel.
*Clang-clang-clang...*
Cuts appeared on the door, and Su Xiao kicked at it.
*Boom!*
Metal plates of various shapes flew into the room and stuck into the wall.
Su Xiao went inside. This room was about 100 square meters in size and had sofas, tables, and so on. Most of all, a cabinet made of rare wood stood out from the interior. It was filled with various antiques and several bottles of wine. On the label of one of the bottles was written: "Made on February 15, 1877, according to the divine calendar, and presented to my good friend, Dubois».
The entire room was tastefully decorated, but the pungent smell of cheap cigars marred the atmosphere.
— So you're still alive, Byakuya, " the cigar smoke slowly dissipated and revealed a view of the burly man on the couch. He was at least two meters tall, with disheveled yellow hair on his head, and his blond beard didn't seem to have been tended to in God knows how long.
The man took a deep drag on his cigar and soon let out smoke, but it was more like being ejected from a steam engine.
The powerful life energy that Su Xiao saw earlier was coming from this man.
There was no one else in the room but him.
He was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and had a swollen beer belly, as if he was pregnant and was already nine months old. There was no muscle visible on his arms, only fat, but Su Xiao could feel the surging strength in that plump body.
— Oh, I wish I'd killed you last time, " he said, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp metal teeth. Judging from the gleam, these metal teeth were made of spiral steel.
— Buck, " the assistant said, and took a few steps back before pointing the gun at him.
— Baby, the toy in your hands is useless against me, " Buck said, and stood up. On either side of his belt were leather pouches, and inside them were two short-handled wooden axes. They weren't any rare axes, but just ordinary wood chopping axes.
— It's on you. I'll go get the target, " the assistant said.
Dubois escaped, leaving Buck to cover him.
— There, " Su Xiao said and swung his sword.
The flash pierced the wall and knocked out the hidden door.
The passage did not lead down, but up.
Seeing this, Su Xiao tossed a miniature signal transmitter to his assistant.
— Swallow it.
Hearing this, the assistant tilted her head, but immediately swallowed the device and gave chase.
— You really are... using a sword? Buck asked and pulled out two axes, then spun them around a few times.
From start to finish, Buck's tone was normal, not provocative or hostile, as if this wasn't his first time chatting with Su Xiao.
