Chapter 1412: A Strong opponent
A roar came from the office.
The sharp axe blade swept past Su Xiao's head, cutting off a few strands of black hair.
After dodging this attack, Su Xiao kicked Buck's stomach with his foot.
When Buck finally stopped, he saw a flash in front of him.
*Ding!*
This flash was immediately repelled by the axe and dissolved as if it had never been there.
— Ha~, " Su Xiao sighed heavily. His breathing was a little rapid. Fighting an opponent like Buck took a lot of effort. Every time he blocked his attacks, he would be thrown back a few steps, and after many such blockages, all of his internal organs would ache with pain.
Buck wasn't feeling well either. He was covered in blood. The dragon's flash was too sharp. Even a light touch from this sword would leave behind a deep cut, and often such a cut would reach to the bone.
Su Xiao and Buck looked at each other. Just as they were about to rush each other again, the floor beneath their feet suddenly shook.
This wasn't the first time this had happened.
With a loud crack, large chunks of concrete began to break apart and fly down.
By this time, the fifth floor of the Saint Limen Fortress had sunk at least three meters down, which was the final sign.
The concrete under Su Xiao's feet began to crack at the seams. As he jumped back onto the relatively stable slab, he saw everything around him begin to fall apart.
When the floor stopped shaking, all that was left was a small area two meters wide.
Su Xiao and Buck were both standing on it.
Below them, an orange-red light shone. Su Xiao lowered his head and looked down. The floor they were standing on was held afloat by twisted rebars.
There was only magma on the ground below.
Thick gray smoke emanated from the magma.
Poisonous gases slowly spread out from the magma in all directions.
With a loud crack, the concrete under Su Xiao's feet began to fall down, directly into the semi-liquid magma.
Waves of heat surged up endlessly, but Su Xiao still rushed forward, however, he didn't dare to put too much force on his feet as he didn't want their floor to suddenly collapse.
Buck seemed to be of the same opinion.
The sword and axes cut through the air again.
The fight continued.
On the outside of the fortress, a man in sunglasses and a leather jacket was clinging to the wall.
— Are these two crazy people? Why are they still fighting? The man in the leather jacket muttered as he watched the battle on the fifth floor through the window. He was a contractor from Apocalyptic Paradise and came here wanting to take advantage of such a good opportunity.
At first, he wanted to wait for this fight to end and finish off the survivor, however, now he was going to retreat with nothing.
— Ah, and I'll have to fight those lunatics later. Why am I so unlucky, " the man muttered and started walking down the stairs quickly.
Inside the fortress, on a foothold that was only one meter wide, Su Xiao slashed at Buck's shoulder with his sword and fended off his axe with the hilt of his sword.
*Boom!*
Taking two steps back, Su Xiao wiped the blood from his face.
Buck glanced at Su Xiao, thought for a moment, and took a deep breath.
*Crackle*
The floor broke under Buck's feet and he began to fall down.
The wire immediately popped out of Su Xiao's sleeve and wrapped around the island under his feet, after which he jumped down after Buck.
*W-w-w-w-w*
The spool on his armband was spinning rapidly, and as soon as Su Xiao jumped down, he immediately slashed his sword across the Tank.
Buck's only response was to hold his axes out in front of him.
Just as the Tank was about to sink into the magma, the muscles on his right arm bulged and he threw his right axe.
Su Xiao immediately flew to the side and in the next moment an axe flew right by his side.
Just as the axe was about to sink into the wall, it suddenly spun around and started flying back.
Buck applied his unique skill.
However, his short axe wasn't going to stick into Su Xiao's back, instead it struck a barely visible wire.
Su Xiao's body started swaying in different directions, but before it was thrown to the side, it sent five bright flashes straight at Buck, with all of them flying towards the right side of his body.
Blood appeared in the air. Although Buck was able to deflect three flashes, the other two reached his body. One ripped open his stomach, and the other split his thigh almost in two.
When the Tank was supposed to fall into the magma, he grabbed the beam next to him, even though it was bright red.
Smoke began to emit from his hand, but the Tank quickly swayed and jumped towards the half-collapsed underground passage. He was a very strong and cunning fighter. He was not afraid of death and was well aware and kept in mind all this time that his task was not to eliminate Su Xiao, but to stop him for a certain amount of time.
Judging by the injuries, Buck lost, but in terms of completing his mission, it was Buck who won.
Su Xiao pulled on his wire and froze in midair.
Five meters below him was dark red magma.
— Buck ... " said Su Xiao.
The tank gained a significant advantage by entering such a narrow passageway. Previously, they were fighting on equal terms and the outcome of the battle depended solely on the decisions of the two sides, but after Buck entered this passage, his percentage of victory increased to 70%.
The wire tightened abruptly, and Su Xiao immediately flew up, straight to the safety of the island on the fifth floor.
Looking around, he soon discovered the secret passage through which Dubois had escaped.
Jumping into it, he saw a metal ladder that led somewhere up, but this entire passage, along with the ladder, was slightly warped.
Quickly climbing it, Su Xiao arrived at the fortress.
The fortress had a short asphalt runway with rubber wheel tracks. It was a one-way runway. It was quite risky to take off from it, and it was basically impossible to land on it.
Helicopters in this world have not yet been developed as a species.
Just as Su Xiao was about to leave, he saw the scratches on the asphalt.
It was a message whose meaning was very simple: "Under the plane».
Su Xiao took out a tablet. A green dot immediately appeared on the tablet, near which the assistant's vital signs were indicated. He didn't know what exactly it used, but all its indicators indicated that the extremely low temperature along with the powerful wind currents didn't affect it in any way.
Considering how smart she was, if she had been able to eliminate Dubois earlier, there was no way she would have clung to this plane.
Although Su Xiao hadn't seen Dubois himself, everything indicated that he had left on this plane, so he should have followed the assistant's signal now.
The fortress beneath his feet suddenly began to lurch. The hollow fortress could no longer support its own weight. Despite the fact that they used all the best when creating it, they clearly did not think that someone would be able to destroy its entire basic internal structure in just a couple of minutes.
*Crackle-crackle…*
The terrifying sound of metal twisting grew louder, and the gunshots outside the fortress became fewer and fewer.
Most of the soldiers were now watching the slowly crumbling fortress of Saint Limen in fascination.
The alliance soldiers were excited, while the kingdom soldiers were desperate.
Under the watchful eyes of both sides, St. Limen's Fortress formed like a house of cards!
After a deafening rumble, a cloud of dust rose into the sky and covered most of the battlefield.
----
Inside the trenches of the Kingdom.
*Boom!*
The light blue ball slammed into the trench, causing the soldiers with submachine guns to be momentarily stunned.
*Bang, bang, bang...*
After only firing a few shots, all the nearby soldiers fell to the ground.
Su Xiao jumped out of the trench and charged forward, directly into the kingdom's territory.
