Chapter 728.1: Life and death depend on the moment
This is a move Su Xiao developed after the fight with Hughes. It was currently in the practical testing stage and had many shortcomings.
Su Xiao had previously discovered that shields performed very well against sharp weapons, but against blunt blows or normal collisions, they were simply disgusting. In the case of blunt weapons, shields not only did not protect them, but also increased the damage from enemy attacks..
In the end, Su Xiao developed this trick. He decided to try to create a layer of his energy shield from the exoskeleton "torn" from his body to buffer the blows. This exoskeleton wasn't strong, but it could significantly reduce incoming damage.
Su Xiao took a deep breath, flipped the Dragon Flash over, and the blade of his sword sank into Di's body.
*Pouf*
Dee's side began to bleed. The wound wasn't deep, but Dee let out a muffled groan and her body began to shake.
The corners of Su Xiao's mouth turned up. Just as he had guessed, the thing that had previously protected her from his attack wasn't her nan energy, but some sort of thing.
If Di had been able to completely stop Su Xiao's attack with just her nan energy, then she wouldn't have received such a stupid wound in the beginning and would have been able to inflict a couple nasty wounds on her opponent.
After Su Xiao threw a punch, Di immediately released her hands and kneed Su Xiao's lower back.
Su Xiao immediately flew a couple of meters away and rubbed his lower back as he landed.
This blow was strong enough to graze his kidney.
Dee's body arched and she rose to her feet in an elegant movement.
Su Xiao immediately stepped forward and swung his sword.
*Ding~*
*Boom!*
The two men once again engaged in close combat.
----
Five minutes later.
*Boom*
Dee threw Su Xiao back a few steps, and warm blood dripped from his chin.
Two minutes ago, her heart had finally flown into his left hand.
The Qing Gang Yin energy in Su Xiao's body immediately began to absorb the invading energy, but even by optimistic estimates, it would take a certain amount of time to eliminate this energy.
Until then, he shouldn't have taken any damage at all, for Su Xiao felt that his body was now more like a piece of pottery than a body made of flesh and blood.
Dee, who was a few meters away from him, was also feeling unwell. Su Xiao stabbed her several times with his sword. Her body was twitching slightly even now, and her face was pale due to the intense pain.
— Damn energy, you're so shameless! Dee shouted and spat out bloodied saliva. There was no trace of her former flirtatiousness left. Dee was now more like a boy baba with an eight-pack abs in her lower abdomen, however, due to her extremely high charisma, her body had an indescribable charm and beauty that would make any man fall into a stupor.
Her hand-to-hand combat skills were not inferior to Su Xiao's sword skill.
The dragon flash spun in Su Xiao's hand. Now, he no longer saw Di as a beautiful and attractive girl, but as a very strong and formidable enemy.
But at this point, Su Xiao discovered that Di could only be considered an assistant, not a frontline fighter. She had very strong abilities for controlling, tracking, and weakening defenses, but her skills for melee combat were not as outstanding. If she fought him without any restrictions, Su Xiao felt that he wouldn't be able to hold out for even a couple of minutes, after all, her nan energy alone was enough to make Su Xiao feel bitter.
Even though Di's stats and skills were suppressed right now, the equipment she was wearing wasn't suppressed, and it was mostly because of it that she was able to fight Su Xiao in close combat until now.
True, her rich combat experience played an important role in this, after all, she was a third-rank contractor.
But despite all this, Su Xiao felt that he could beat her. His confidence came from the fact that his opponent was afraid of pain.
Yes, Dee was really afraid of pain.
Su Xiao almost always fought strong and not-so-strong enemies in close combat. For a melee fighter to get injured is very common, even the limbs somehow sometimes broke, and not in one place. Thanks to such strenuous "training", his ability to endure pain had greatly improved.
Dee was a different kind of berry. She was one of the main people in their squad for controlling everything and everything, and she was from the Blood Gate Guild, a very large faction. During battles, she was always protected by her comrades. Most of her combat experience was gained in the arena, while Su Xiao always fought with his life on the line.
— Pain can make people aggressive and alert the brain that something is wrong with the body. You don't seem to be used to it, " Su Xiao said and took a step towards Di. Dee immediately subconsciously took a step back. When she realized that she was starting to back down, Dee gritted her teeth, even though she felt like she didn't want to do it at all.
— Only perverts enjoy pain, so you're a pervert.
— Thank you for the compliment, but I don't take pleasure in pain, " Su Xiao replied and rushed towards Di with great speed.
Dee, who had already received several serious wounds from his sword, muttered: — Just a weakling of the second rank, " and then stepped forward to meet him.
The sword cut through the space first vertically, and then horizontally.
Remembering the pain of her injuries, Dee immediately took up a defensive stance.
*Ding*
The long blade struck Di's forearm, but from the feeling, Su Xiao could rather tell that it didn't hit a human body, but rather hit some invisible or transparent armor.
Su Xiao's eyes narrowed abruptly, and after dodging a beautiful kick, he swung his sword sharply.
