Chapter 246: Too much talk
The battle was inevitable, and only one could emerge victorious.
But even if Su Xiao defeated Esdes, an entire army would stand in his way.
— If I can capture you alive, that will be just fine. I'll let you enjoy all my methods of torture, "Esdes' sadism made itself felt.
Su Xiao didn't say anything and just swung his sword.
This may be his last fight..
— No need to fight, " the emperor suddenly whispered.
— Su Xiao looked at the emperor doubtfully.
— Get me out of here. I want revenge! the emperor ground his teeth, and his face became unusually vicious.
— I don't even know if I'll survive or not, or why I need you in the first place?
— No, we have a chance, look... The emperor whispered something in Su Xiao's ear as the soldiers slowly began to surround them.
— The minister doesn't know about this? Su Xiao's eyes shone strangely.
— I discovered this when I first touched the key. I didn't care about it at the time, so I didn't tell anyone.
— Su Xiao's sword blade flashed, and he quickly started running in a circle, cutting through the floor with the blade of his sword.
— What does it do? Has he gone mad? The minister looked at Su Xiao doubtfully.
— No, he's not crazy, he is... Esdeath immediately started making her way to Su Xiao's side without even finishing her sentence.
Su Xiao glanced at Esdes, who was pushing through the soldiers, and then looked at the minister and said, " Minister, thank you for what you said. You made the emperor so desperate that he came up with such a great idea, " and Su Xiao immediately stamped his foot on the ground as hard as he could.
*BOOM!*
The floor cracked, and a certain section of the floor abruptly fell down.
A large circular hole appeared in the floor.
Su Xiao scooped up the emperor and jumped down.
— Esdes immediately jumped in after him. She wasn't going to give up.
But just as she jumped, Su Xiao pointed a strange weapon at her.
— This... gun?
*Bang, bang, bang!..*
While falling down, Su Xiao shot six times at Esdes.
A thin layer of ice formed in front of Esdes and blocked all the bullets...
*Ding-ding!..*
Since she was in the air and didn't have any support, Esdes was literally knocked back by those six bullets.
Esdes landed on her feet and stood next to the hole, but she didn't dare jump down again.
— Something appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and he threw it up.
Esdes reached out and caught it, because she didn't feel any danger from it...
Esdes peered at the item and saw the badge of the assassin unit. There was a word engraved on the back of the token. It was the word "Byakuya", however, it was pierced through.
— Byakuya is your alias? Esdes, holding the token in her hand, recalled the moment when she first met Su Xiao.
«You've won, I want to become your subordinate" was what Su Xiao said after the first encounter with Esdes.
— Don't think you can escape like this, "killing intent began to shoot out from Esdes' body, and she immediately jumped down again.
— Esdes, podozhe... but the minister didn't finish.
— Is this woman crazy? Isn't she going to protect me from the rebels?" The minister trembled in anger, and at that moment, a figure passed by the minister and also jumped into the pit.
It was a Wave!
----
Su Xiao's falling speed increased and increased, and given the speed of his fall, he would end up dying if he landed on the ground.
After untying the thread from the emperor's neck, he wrapped it around the hilt of his sword and quickly threw it at the wall.
*Ding!*
The flash of the dragon slammed into the wall, and Su Xiao began to gradually stop his falling speed.
When the thread was about to leave the reel, he would quickly pull the sword towards him and repeat the action.
Su Xiao's falling speed was greatly slowed down, and he would repeat the same trick whenever his speed reached a dangerous level.
After a while, Su Xiao reached the ground.
*Boom!*
When Su Xiao landed, the ground beneath him cracked.
— We... are we safe?" The emperor's voice trembled, as did his body.
It was dark around them, but Su Xiao took out a flashlight and quickly looked around. There were many doors around them and they were about five meters tall, and above each of them was a number from 1 to 13.
[Hint: You have entered a special area: "Birumak Alchemy Testing Ground».
Birumak Alchemy Testing Ground is a high-risk area.]
[Warning: In the Birumak Alchemy testing ground, there is a poisonous alchemy gas, you will lose 5 health points per second.]
[Hint: The Hunter can spend 100 Paradise Coins to create an air filter that will last an hour.]
Su Xiao's face twisted as his health drained away like water. He could feel his body starting to burn, but this gas had no smell and was colorless.
— Give me the filter.
An invisible shield immediately appeared around Su Xiao. It cost 100 Paradise coins per hour. If Su Xiao stayed here for a few days, he would be completely bankrupt, but this gas also played into his hands.
— There, " the emperor suddenly said and pointed his finger in a certain direction, causing Su Xiao to look at the emperor in surprise.
— Why aren't you dying?
— What? Why should I die? The emperor looked at Su Xiao doubtfully.
Su Xiao could tell that the emperor's stamina didn't exceed 10 points, but he inhaled this gas as if it was ordinary air.
The Emperor is immune to this gas?
This place was built by previous emperors, so the royal family was probably immune to this gas.
The empire's alchemy was abnormally developed for a period of time, but after a while, all of its progress disappeared without a trace.
The royal family was probably responsible for this.
But Su Xiao now needed to find a way out of here.
This place was full of gas, but that didn't mean Esdes or anyone with her wouldn't be able to come here.
Apart from the option of enemies arriving, this place contained two dangers.
In the first place, it was possible to die just because of one gas, and in the second place, this place contained many secrets and treasures.
Secrets were fraught with various dangers, and dangers could bring benefits. The benefits could also help Su Xiao become stronger.
Su Xiao walked in the direction indicated by the emperor. Since this place was built by the royal family, the emperor would definitely be able to play an important role in this journey.
