Chapter 789: The Reaper
The clouds in the sky were thickening, and soon thunder rumbled.
A silvery bolt of lightning struck somewhere on the horizon...
*BOO-Oo-Oo-Oo-M!*
Thunderclaps reverberated throughout the fortress.
Compared to the mighty force of nature, the death screams from the fortress were much more frightening.
The counterattack shields next to Su Xiao opened up and turned into blades.
The orcs around him were immediately thrown to the side.
When some of them wanted to fight back, a fleeting flash flashed before their eyes, after which they were enveloped in endless darkness.
Feeling the cold touch on his face, Su Xiao was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that it was just rain.
At this moment, Su Xiao was already standing on the slope on the other side of the fortress.
Looking around, all he saw were orcs and dwarves.
The union warriors continued to push forward, and Su Xiao stopped anyone who got close to him. Any union warrior who came within three meters of him would die under his sword, regardless of whether it was just him or a group of them.
The screams of death and the smell of blood excited Su Xiao's nerves. This battle had been going on for more than an hour. He didn't know how many people he had killed, and he didn't have time to check the amount of merit he had.
In such a dense stream, even if he was distracted for just a moment, his counterattack shields would immediately be destroyed and various attacks would pierce through his bodies. Even if he didn't die, he would at least be seriously injured, which would lead him to certain death in the end.
He was surrounded by the union's elite. Their skills and morale were on a completely different level compared to the previous army. Not to mention their willpower, their strength alone could inspire fear in anyone.
And Su Xiao didn't exaggerate their strength. Because of the previous battle, many contractors of the Reincarnation Paradise had joined the battle on the fortress walls and in the fortress itself, and given the reality of this battle, the outcome of such a clash was obvious.
Many of them were cut into pieces.
In the midst of the flow of the Tribal Union Army, the Dragon Flash in Su Xiao's hand left fleeting flashes in its wake without end. Horizontal punches, vertical punches, bottom-up punches, top-down punches...
Blood hadn't stopped pouring down by Su Xiao's side for more than an hour. He was standing in a pool of blood, but his eyes were extremely sharp and carefully scanned the surroundings.
His pupils were constantly registering the enemy's attacks and each enemy's flaws.
The sound of breaking wind came from behind him. Although Su Xiao couldn't see this attack with his own eyes, he could feel that the long-handled axe was flying straight at the back of his head.
Since the counterattack shield could block this attack, Su Xiao ignored this axe and swung his sword, cutting off the dwarf's head in the end.
Previously, he had used his "advantage" in height for about ten seconds and constantly annoyed Su Xiao.
With a bang, the shield behind Su Xiao shattered. Although he wasn't currently creating shields for less than 500 mana points, even such shields had their limits. Fortunately, because his Qing Gang Yin skill had been upgraded to level 30, the upper limit of the shields they created had been raised to 500 mana points, which allowed him to create very strong shields, and even Su Xiao would need quite a long time to destroy such a shield for 500 mana points.
But in this battlefield full of fairly strong enemies, a shield with 500 mana could withstand an average of about a couple dozen or even a hundred attacks, and every second on average, the shield had at least two dozen very strong attacks. The orcs and dwarves around him were elites, and their attack power was 2-3 times that of the normal warriors from the last battle.
As the counterattack shield behind him shattered into pieces, a heartbeat thundered in Su Xiao's ears.
The axe that he was about to block with his shield flew straight at the back of his head.
This axe shouldn't have touched his head. Even though Su Xiao had high stamina, such a blow to the head would at least stun him, and at most knock him out.
If any of this happened to Su Xiao, the surrounding union warriors would immediately cut him to pieces in just a second.
Even with his current strength, he might die because of one small mistake.
The oppressive feeling of approaching death made Su Xiao's heart beat faster, and the axe blade was getting closer and closer to the back of his head.
At this moment, Su Xiao suddenly felt a very strange feeling. His originally cold temper changed and became very hot.
*Tuk~*
His heart was pounding. With numerous improvements, his heart was getting better and better, and with each such improvement, it was transporting blood to all parts of his body faster and faster.
A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face, revealing his white teeth. The sense of crisis and the pressure of approaching death touched a certain nerve in him.
At this moment, the axe blade was no more than three centimeters away from the back of Su Xiao's head.
His black hair on the back of his head was fluttering in the strong wind...
The strange thing was that Su Xiao should have 'felt' this attack, but at this moment, he 'saw' it.
He couldn't see what this axe looked like, but he could see its shape, attack trajectory, current location, and so on.
Su Xiao's left knee buckled and his upper body immediately shifted to the left.
*Whew~*
The axe flew just a millimeter past Su Xiao's ear, cutting off some of his hair.
Just as the axe flew past Su Xiao's temple, his left arm wrapped in a red armband stretched out, and Qing Gang Yin's energy stuck to his arm.
*Boom!*
Su Xiao grabbed the end of the axe with his left hand and looked sideways to see an orc with a dejected expression.
After exerting a bit of strength, small cracks immediately appeared on this axe in his left hand.
With a bang, the axe shattered into pieces, leaving only an iron bar, and at the same time, solid counter-attack shields appeared next to Su Xiao.
The shields immediately blocked attacks from all directions.
The orc that was holding the axe earlier suddenly felt a huge force coming from its hand, and it suddenly started to spin.
Once in the air, the orc breathed a sigh of relief. Flying away from that monster was a good thing, but when he thought about it, he heard a strange whoosh, after which everything in front of him turned red, and then he fell into darkness.
With a pop, the orc's head shattered in the air. An iron bar pierced his head.
Su Xiao was like a God of Death on this battlefield. Anyone who got close to it died.
But the crowd around him was getting denser and denser, and the strength of his shields was falling faster and faster by the minute.
Sensing what was coming, the muscles in Su Xiao's right arm tightened slightly.
The counter-attack shields immediately flew apart, and the orcs nearby were overjoyed to see this, and stared at Su Xiao with their red eyes.
Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon Flash. Seeing this, the dwarf not far from him got goosebumps. Just twenty minutes ago, he had seen Su Xiao perform a similar action, after which a large number of warriors were chopped into two.
— Lodges...
*A clang*
A bright light spread out in all directions.
All the people in the ten meters around Su Xiao fell as if they were mown wheat.
Not a single warrior was left standing ten meters away.
Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He felt tired, but that was normal, after all, he was killing enemies without rest.
