Chapter 666: Shoot!
The facts proved that Su Xiao's choice was correct. Although the duration of shields in the new mode was significantly reduced, it was this mode that allowed him to seriously injure Kuroro.
*Whew~*
Pins wrapped in energy pierced through the air, but Su Xiao swung his sword.
*Ding-ding-ding...*
Although they looked like ordinary small pins, they were as strong and durable as a bullet fired from a sniper rifle.
— What the hell happened? Is it standing in the air? Illumi was very much puzzled. Previously, he had attacked Su Xiao and realized that his shields had the same gravity as him, but now things had changed dramatically.
When Kuroro moved, the wound on his back looked more like a monster's mouth than a wound.
The book appeared in his hands. He ignored the wound on his back. Although he had lost a lot of blood, there was no quick recovery ability among the abilities he had stolen.
The pages of the book began to turn quickly and finally stopped at the page he needed.
On this page, there was a picture of a young woman with a description of her abilities, only looking to be around twenty years old.
With the help of his book, Kuroro could steal other people's nan ability, but not when he wanted to, but when he met four conditions at once.
[1. Kuroro must see nan, a human's ability, in action with his own eyes.
2. He must ask the victim a question about her ability and get an answer to it.
3. The victim's palm should touch the handprint on the book cover.
4. All of the above must be completed within one hour.]
By completing the above steps, Kuroro will be able to steal an ability from another person, but to use the stolen ability, he had to hold a book in his hands and open the page with the desired skill..
Kuroro never thought about stealing Su Xiao's ability. Stealing an ability from an opponent sounded like a pretty strong move, but there were actually too many restrictions.
He wouldn't be able to steal the ability directly in battle, unless of course his opponent was stupid.
Given Su Xiao's personality and dislike of taking unnecessary actions in the middle of a fight, Kuroro won't be able to steal any of his abilities. Also, his abilities weren't nen abilities, so Kuroro wouldn't be able to steal any of his skills.
Kuroro was holding a book in his right hand, and in his left hand was a strange knife, the so-called "Ben's knife", soaked in poison.
— As Illumi saw that Kuroro was seriously injured, he realized that he couldn't delay any further. Kuroro was his employer, and if he died, it would mean that he would not get his pay in the end, and he would no longer have any reason to continue fighting Su Xiao, and Illumi wanted to fight him, because this kind of battle was extremely rare.
— Hmm, " Kuroro replied and began to slowly retreat. He could now teleport thanks to his book, and if he could hit his opponent with a knife, he would eventually kill him, for his knife was soaked in a very strong poison.
Su Xiao, who was standing in the air, did not take the initiative and waited for his shields to get into position.
After looking at the few shields in the squad, Su Xiao prepared himself.
Seeing Su Xiao's movement, Illumi immediately rushed forward.
Su Xiao immediately jumped down from the shields. He was only able to injure Kuroro earlier because he wasn't prepared for such an outcome, but now they clearly wouldn't fall into his trap.
Illumi's hands were covered in a large amount of nan energy, making his hands stronger than metal.
Illumi slapped Su Xiao's face as he continued to move forward.
At the last moment, Su Xiao bowed his head and avoided the blow, only receiving a small cut on his cheek.
Illumi immediately attacked again, but Su Xiao raised his sword. If Illumi tried to attack him again, at least one of his arms would definitely be cut off.
The blade of the sword ended up hitting his palms...
Blood began to trickle down from Illumi's fingertips, but when faced with Qing Gang Yin's energy attack, he didn't even frown.
«I guess I don't need to worry about his attacks, " Illumi thought as he wiped the blood off his palms, but when he looked at his palms more closely, he found that they were still cut open, although not very badly.
Everyone from the Zoldik family preferred to fight with their bare hands, and because of this, they had trained their hands since childhood.
In this family of the most prominent killers, the best weapons were not pistols or edged weapons, but their own hands, because their hands were always with them and they practically did not attract attention.
And since they had been training since they were young, combined with their nan abilities, even Su Xiao ended up not being able to cut off the palms of a member of the Zoldick family.
In fact, Su Xiao felt that he had not hit Illumi's palms, but rather a piece of extremely strong rubber.
After realizing that Su Xiao couldn't cut off his arms, Illumi's attacks became bolder, and the two sides began to leave more afterimages.
Su Xiao and Illumi engaged in a death dance that caused the street around them to collapse very quickly.
The shields floating in the air gradually disappeared. Su Xiao couldn't say that he won in the first encounter, but he definitely didn't lose as the disgusting wound on Kuroro's back didn't disappear anywhere.
*Boom-boom...*
The sword and palms roared through space. In Su Xiao's opinion, Illumi wasn't weak, but after so many encounters, he realized that Illumi was stronger than he originally imagined.
*Ding!*
Su Xiao placed Dragon Flash in front of him, and Illumi's palm immediately sank into the blade.
— How much more time do you need? Su Xiao muttered as if to nothing.
— Illumi looked at Su Xiao suspiciously, then thought of something and grabbed the Dragon Flash blade with both of his palms.
Su Xiao's first thought was that this guy didn't want to have any more hands. Although his hands were able to withstand the Dragon Flash's attacks, blocking the attacks and trying to restrain the sword with his bare hands were completely different concepts.
Su Xiao dragged Dragon Flash with all his strength. The blade of the sword began to cut through his flesh and then his bones with a sickening sound.
*Boom!*
The manhole cover next to Su Xiao flew into the air, causing his pupils to immediately narrow.
*AR-R-R!*
Several large mutated dogs immediately crawled out of the sewer.
There were several pins stuck in the back of these big dogs ' heads. These creatures were obviously completely controlled by Illumi.
The terrifying mouths immediately began to dig into Su Xiao's body. Right in the arms, torso, calves...
Illumi still held the Dragon Flash in both hands.
Just then, Kuroro appeared behind Su Xiao.
*Pouf!*
Kuroro's strange knife pierced through space, aiming straight for Su Xiao's heart. In the instant before it bit into his body, Su Xiao was able to move slightly, causing the knife to pass just a couple of millimeters from his heart.
The three of them lined up in one straight line. Su Xiao and Illumi were facing each other, and behind Su Xiao was Kuroro.
At this moment, Illumi suddenly saw a smile on Su Xiao's face. That smile was immediately etched in his memory, as it instantly sent a chill through his entire body.
— Go away! Illumi lost his usual calm and shouted at the top of his voice, but it was too late.
— Life or death doesn't matter, shoot!
