Chapter 1216 - 311: An Unsolvable Ability
A blade wheel was slashed away by Su Xiao, his hand holding the Dragon Slash a bit numb. The power of these blade wheels is extremely strong; if it hits the torso, it won’t just be a simple wound—it could very well cut a person in half.
Su Xiao had just sent the first blade wheel flying when the second was already rushing towards him.
Buzz!
The piercing buzzing sound came straight at him, and the gust of wind from the high-speed rotation lifted Su Xiao’s black hair. Just as he thought of dodging sideways, an intense sense of crisis caused his hairs to stand on end.
He can’t dodge, there’s no way to escape!
This is a warning from his intuition ability, and it’s extremely strong. Su Xiao’s right foot, which he just lifted, landed back on the ground, and his muscles tensed as he gripped the Dragon Slash.
The blade wheel almost instantly arrived before Su Xiao. It was too late to slash beforehand.
An uneven energy shield appeared in front of Su Xiao. The strength of this energy shield was about 200, but its surface was uneven, with some parts even having holes.
The blade wheel struck the energy shield with a crisp crack, and the shield shattered, but its uneven surface altered the blade wheel’s flight path.
Whoosh~
The green blade wheel was deflected at an angle. Just as Su Xiao intended to charge forward, a whistling sound came from above his head—it was the blade wheel he had previously deflected.
Su Xiao held the Dragon Slash horizontally above him as an impact sensation hit.
Ting!
Sparks flew, the blade wheel was sent flying once more, and Su Xiao’s right arm was starting to go numb.
Having just deflected one blade wheel, the one deflected by the energy shield came at him again. Dunk Nik could control the trajectory of these things.
Su Xiao pushed off to his right, but the blade wheel that targeted him curved mid-air and continued to track him.
Su Xiao slashed forward with his long knife, the blade cutting through the air, the Dragon Slash whistling as it went for the blade wheel.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed in the courtyard, and the green blade wheel flew out with a whoosh, quickly disappearing from Su Xiao’s sight.
Su Xiao’s calves were buried in the soil, and just as he was about to pull his legs out, the blade wheel he had previously deflected came at him again.
Dunk Nik’s purpose wasn’t to slash Su Xiao with the blade wheel; he knew this was practically impossible. The blade wheel’s speed was fast, but not beyond Su Xiao’s ability to block or counter.
As for dodging the blade wheel’s attacks, that’s even more unreliable. Dunk Nik could control the trajectory of the blade wheel’s attacks, and if Su Xiao made a dodging move, Dunk Nik would immediately change the blade wheel’s flight path. In principle, dodging presented a far higher risk than deflecting or blocking.
Dunk Nik’s goal was to make Su Xiao block or deflect the blade wheel. The impact force of the blade wheel was strong, and with just one block and two deflections, Su Xiao’s arm already began to grow numb, and his shoulder felt sore.
If this continued, and Su Xiao deflected the blade wheel more than ten times, he might not even be able to hold his sword, and his right arm would be exhausted, if not fractured. This was Dunk Nik’s tactic; he wasn’t afraid to engage in close combat with Su Xiao, but he aimed to continuously wear down Su Xiao’s stamina before closing in.
Dunk Nik’s combat experience was vastly superior to Ilde’s. This old guy had spent his life battling various enemies.
Su Xiao held the Dragon Slash horizontally in front of him, right hand on the hilt, left hand braced against the spine of the sword.
Ting.
The blade wheel was sent flying; the previous blade wheel had been deflected too far away by Su Xiao, and Dunk Nik could no longer control it.
Green light particles flickered in Dunk Nik’s hand as two crescent-shaped long daggers appeared in his grip. He took a deep breath and threw the two curved blades.
Whoosh~
The moment the curved blades left his hand, green light particles surged again in Dunk Nik’s hands, generating two new curved blades.
Dunk Nik threw one curved blade after another as if under the influence of drugs. In less than two seconds, he had consecutively thrown 16 curved blades, each generating powerful kinetic energy after high-speed rotation, forming blade wheels about 2 meters in diameter.
Buzz...
A total of 17 blade wheels rushed at Su Xiao from all directions. Even with basic reasoning, it was clear that Dunk Nik was using his big move; here in the Royal Capital, he dared not engage with Su Xiao for too long.
Su Xiao hadn’t activated the ’Demonic Hunt Time’ before, because he had the advantage of terrain, being in the Iron Hand’s estate. The opponent would neither dare to fight a war of attrition nor engage in a strong assault, creating openings.
The 17 blade wheels flew towards Su Xiao, vaguely forming a surrounding formation. Undoubtedly, Dunk Nik’s power greatly surpassed that of Su Xiao—by quite a margin.
When one’s physical attributes reach 80 points, every single attribute difference is clearly evident. Although combat isn’t strictly a contest of attribute strength, physical attributes are the foundation of everything.
In terms of physical attributes, Dunk Nik’s strength and agility were both at 90 points. His combat experience, although not overwhelmingly superior to Su Xiao’s, was certainly stronger.
As for various abilities, Dunk Nik’s skills were either Level 40 or Level 50, with two low-level abilities that were both hard-to-improve exclusive or ultimate abilities.
Su Xiao had previously guessed that Dunk Nik was stronger than him, but he needed actual combat to verify it. Some enemies’ abilities seem strong but are ultimately just superficial.
Upon fighting, Su Xiao found Dunk Nik’s thrown blade wheels almost insurmountable. Their power was immense, their speed exceptionally fast, making them unavoidable; defending against them would result in vibration injuries unless he activated the counter shield to withstand. But how long could he endure using the counter shield? The resulting impact would also cause injury.
The dense blade wheels reached Su Xiao’s front. For some reason, Su Xiao closed his eyes.
Ching, ching...
The blade wheels slashed through, leaving several intercrossing trenches on the courtyard ground, dust soaring.
Dunk Nik, who was manipulating the blade wheels, frowned; he could not only control the blade wheels, but through the ’Undead Power: Heart’s Web,’ he could also perceive the sense when the blade wheels struck.
"No sensation of cutting an entity."
Dunk Nik leaped backward a few steps, feeling something was amiss.
The dust gradually cleared, revealing a silhouette standing within. Pale blue mist emanated from this figure—evaporated mana value.
Su Xiao walked out from the dust, his body enveloped in a layer of faint blue mist. The blue mist gradually dispersed while blue light gleamed within the centers of his black pupils.
"100 seconds."
Su Xiao exhaled a breath of blue mist; he could clearly feel at that moment that some of his body’s limits had been temporarily broken, allowing him to use his mastered abilities without any restriction.
Buzz.
Dozens of blade wheels came slashing toward Su Xiao. He remained still at his spot as three layers of counter shields appeared around him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The green blade wheels struck the counter shield, five of which were deflected, and the first layer shattered.
Su Xiao extended his palm forward as another three layers of counter shields formed around him.
With a clatter, the counter shields surrounding Su Xiao unfolded completely as hundreds of hexagonal counter shields flipped around him, protecting him within.
Upon seeing this scene, Dunk Nik in the distance was clearly a bit stunned. He had already judged the defensive power of the counter shields. With such excellent defensive ability, this guy could actually release so many layers simultaneously? And judging by his calm demeanor, the energy consumption seemed not high at all?
In reality, the counter shield’s consumption was high. However, for the current Su Xiao, the energy consumption for several counter shields could be almost negligible.
