Chapter 424: Clearing the Field
In the dark corridor.
Su Xiao leaned against the concrete wall, causing his blood to leave a very noticeable mark on the wall behind him.
It had been ten minutes since Father had received the power of God, and Su Xiao immediately started killing contractors under the presidential palace.
And these contractors were by no means weak. Some of them certainly weren't very strong, but some of them could boast of their outstanding strength.
Even among contractors of the same rank, there was a large gap. Some contractors were strong, while others were weak.
There was a type of contractor that was very difficult to deal with — they were contractors who went along the path of developing one characteristic.
The corpse of one of these contractors was currently lying not far from Su Xiao. He had at least 45 points of strength, and although his attacks were very powerful, his stamina was extremely low, which made it easy to kill him.
Su Xiao pulled out the iron rod from his left hand and quickly treated the wound.
In those ten minutes he had completely chased away at least a dozen contractors and two of them had definitely died.
The chances of knocking out a scarlet card in the Steel Alchemist's world were very low, at least Su Xiao had never seen a single scarlet card.
While Su Xiao was catching his breath, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps ahead of him.
Three contractors ran out of the corridor ahead and stopped when they saw Su Xiao.
— Big brother, there's a madman walking around here who's stalking and killing other contractors. Do you happen to know where the madman is now?" The young girl asked Su Xiao.
The corridor was dark and the distance between them was long, so she couldn't make out Su Xiao's appearance.
— Crazy? I don't know, " Su Xiao replied, and gripped the handle of Dragon Flash.
— Sister, there's something wrong with this guy, he might have a sword... This guy is the madman! Let's go!" the big-eyed girl turned and started to run away, but after only taking a few steps, she realized that her companions were still standing there.
— Don't be afraid, this guy is seriously injured, " the young girl said as she looked Su Xiao up and down, but even though she said that, she didn't dare to approach him.
Smelling a faint smell of blood, she looked at the floor next to Su Xiao and saw a bloody corpse.
— That's right, he is that madman — " the young girl winked at her two friends.
— Did I kill one of your people?" Su Xiao asked.
— No.
Su Xiao frowned at the young girl's reply.
— Then how did you know I was harassing other contractors?
Su Xiao really wanted to hear the answer to this question.
— The young girl immediately turned around and ran away, and Su Xiao kicked off the floor and charged forward.
----
Five minutes later, Su Xiao spat out some blood. There was an arrow in each of his lower abdomen and chest.
Three contractors were lying on the ground. Two of them were unconscious and only a young girl was trying to crawl away from him.
Her lips were trembling, and her fair cheeks were stained with blood. One of her legs was not far from her body.
— Answer my question, " Su Xiao said and looked at his health score. He's got everything left 26%.
The contractors in the Steel Alchemist world were different from the contractors he had encountered in the past. All of these contractors didn't die under his sword in a matter of seconds, even though he had become much stronger from that moment on.
Not only did they not die from his sword in a few moments, but they also gave him a serious fight back. If it wasn't for his sword and unique skills, he would most likely have died long ago.
Everything in the young girl's eyes darkened, and she raised her head with difficulty and looked at Su Xiao. "You.".. Monster!
The young girl had never seen a contractor as strong as Su Xiao.
But Su Xiao was a Hunter who had to kill other contractors.
— Do you want to live? Su Xiao squatted down beside the young girl. The blade of his sword was still dripping with blood.
— If you want to kill, kill, I won't give you my equipment or the Paradise coins, " the young girl took out a dagger from her inventory and pressed it to her throat. She was afraid that Su Xiao would choose to dishonor her.
— I'm not interested in your stuff or coins, I just want to hear the answer to your question.
The girl was surprised. — Which one?
— How did you know about my existence, no, how did you know that I was harassing other contractors?
The girl lowered her head and a strange glint appeared in her eyes. — Don't you use the platform to communicate in the derived worlds?"?
— What is it?
Su Xiao had never heard of any such platforms.
But it wasn't just Su Xiao who was puzzled — the girl was even more puzzled.
— The platform for communicating in the derived world is a basic feature, and it is... Exactly, first-rank contractors don't have access to such a feature...
Su Xiao nodded after hearing this.
— This is how you complete a promotion mission... But why do you, a first-rank contractor, have such power? The girl looked at Su Xiao with burning eyes.
— Who knows, maybe it's because I'm not afraid of death and carry out dangerous missions. High risk often means high reward.
The young girl nodded and wiped the blood from her face.
— You are very strong, we are not your opponents, but the chance of scarlet cards falling out in the world of Steel Alchemist is very low, if you kill us, it won't do you any good, " with that, she took out two items.
One of them was a blue recovery potion. It restored 60% of health and could immediately fuse a severed limb with the body. The second was green food, which restored 80% health in 5 minutes.
— We won't take revenge and will immediately return, our main mission has been completed and we only came here to try our luck, if you sign it, we will go our separate ways peacefully and forget about each other, " the girl said and showed Su Xiao the temporary contract.
He really needed these two items, but this girl's two friends looked really bad, and so did she. Although they were all alive, their limbs were scattered all over the corridor.
If he were in their shoes, wouldn't he still have hatred in his heart and want to take revenge in the end?
Could he really let them go because of two items? The answer is no. Since he had already made enemies, he had to pull out the weeds along with the roots.
— Hey... don't look at me like that. Didn't you ask me if I wanted to live? I want to live!
— No one wants to die, but I just asked you if you want to live, did I say I would let you live?
The blade moved, and a red line appeared on the girl's neck.
— You... liar.
The girl's pupils began to dim, and blood gushed out from the wound on her throat. Even if she pressed the wound with her hands and used these two items, she wouldn't be able to survive.
After finishing off her two companions, Su Xiao took out a few rolls of bandages and began to quickly treat his wounds.
This was the last group of contractors to get this close. There were definitely singles and couples waiting nearby, but Su Xiao wouldn't go that far.
Shouts could be heard from the ground every now and then, and Su Xiao could roughly estimate that they had already started fighting with their Father.
Under the Presidential Palace.
My father fought with the five main characters of this world.
Edward and the others were somehow able to start using alchemy again.
The battle between alchemists was extremely fierce, especially the battle of the main characters of this world.
A father with the power of a God was practically invincible, but now that he had no energy left to control that very power, it was basically already a foregone conclusion.
