"Too weak, it seems plans need to be adjusted."
Su Xiao spoke. Previously, he intended to use the Night Raid Team to hold off the Empire’s Anbu, but judging from the combat effectiveness displayed by Leone, apart from Red Eye, even if the others ganged up on Esdeath, they might not be able to defeat her.
He won’t judge the situation based on the original plot. Following the original storyline in the Derivative World after the influx of many Contractors would be a foolish choice, like with the forr Han Yu.
The plots of the Ghouls and Giant world were completely disrupted by Su Xiao. Once he entered the Derivative World, it beca an entirely new world, where the butterfly effect vividly manifested.
"Not bad for an Imperial tool; I’ll take it."
Su Xiao sprinted toward Leone.
Leone cursed silently in her heart. Where did such a monstrously powerful freak appear from?
"Secret Technique: Lion Never Dies."
Leone roared, the degree of beastification visibly increased, her golden hair grew longer, and her claws beca even sharper.
Unexpectedly, the half of her claw that was severed began to regenerate.
When Leone used her ultimate move, Su Xiao had already reached her.
The long knife slashed from top to bottom.
Squish.
Blood gushed out, a large amount of it spurted from Leone’s chest, spraying in front of Su Xiao, with the blood beads constantly deforming in the air.
This slash hit Leone’s chest, the wound spreading from the shoulder to the waist.
Leone was only wearing a bandeau, and this slash directly caused her to ’explode’ her clothes.
After one slash, Su Xiao didn’t stop. The second slash was already poised to strike.
But Leone wasn’t an easy target. After opening her big move, her power surged.
"Go to hell!"
Leone threw a straight punch towards Su Xiao’s face, the wind pressure rushing toward him. If this punch connected, it would be lethal.
Whoosh~.
The fist grazed past Su Xiao’s ear, his hair blown by its wind.
After the punch missed, Leone instinctively retracted her fist, but Su Xiao wouldn’t let her retreat easily.
The long knife swept in front, a cold gleam catching Leone’s eyes.
Squish.
After a numbing sensation in her arm, Leone could no longer feel her right arm.
A fair arm flew off, severed with one slash, Leone’s physical defense against Dragon Slash was as weak as paper.
Staggering back a few steps, Leone tried to stop the blood at her amputated arm, but there was no sign of regeneration.
Su Xiao sized up Leone, roughly understanding the capability of her ’Lion Never Dies’ move.
Small limb loss could regenerate, but not a severed arm or leg, though her recovery ability significantly improved.
For instance, the cut on Leone’s chest had already sealed and stopped bleeding, and would fully heal in a few minutes.
Su Xiao simply took out the "Eye of Havana" to scan Leone’s attributes.
The Eye of Havana floated mid-air, red light emanating and enveloping Leone, beginning the scan.
[Comparing both parties’ Intelligence Attributes..., comparison complete, my Intelligence is 2.4 tis that of the enemy, acquiring 100% of the enemy’s data.]
Data is as follows:
Na: Leone (in Lion King state)

Skill 4: Theft Lv.4 (Active), can steal items without the opponent noticing.
Skill 5: Close Combat Lv.6 (Passive): Improves Close Combat Skills.
...
Looking at the comprehensive attributes, Leone was stronger than Su Xiao.
Attributes were very important to Su Xiao, as they are the foundation of everything, but having high attributes doesn’t necessarily equate to being powerful.
Su Xiao’s Swordsmanship Expertise is at Lv.11, with skills like Blue Steel Shadow, Heart’s Eye, and Supre Blade all enhancing combat strength.
While his attributes are not as strong as Leone’s, Su Xiao’s skillful ability is much stronger, and a Swordsmanship Expertise of Lv.11 alone is unmatched by Leone’s Fighting Technique.
Having reviewed Leone’s data, Su Xiao prepared to end the battle, as he had been wary of any backup plans the enemy might have.
The one-sided combat began. With her exceptional recovery ability, Leone wouldn’t die in a short ti, but she constantly hovered on the brink of life and death.
Clang.
An old tree, half a ter thick, was cut down, with the cross-section smooth as a mirror. Upon seeing this, Leone’s pupils contracted to the size of needles. If this blade had struck her neck, her head would surely have rolled.
The old tree fell with a roar, lifting a large swath of dead leaves.
Three minutes later.
Leone’s body was crisscrossed with slash marks. She had forgotten how many cuts she suffered, each wound piercing deep, even slicing off a piece of her furry beast ears.
"Huff, huff~."
Leone was panting heavily; she had turned into a blood-soaked figure, standing in a small pool of blood that ford under her feet in less than three seconds.
"Finally... have they co."
Leone’s body slumped down; no matter how strong her recovery capability, she couldn’t withstand such injuries.
Yet, Leone did not fall to the ground directly; her body, like a marionette, was suspended in mid-air.
Su Xiao’s brow furrowed; he did not sense any anomaly around him.
Sizzle~.
The sharp sound of retracting threads ca, and Leone’s body was swiftly pulled away into the distance.
"Is this Cross Tail?"
Su Xiao quickly pursued Leone; she had no strength left to fight, only a single strike remained.
Cross Tail is an Imperial tool, used by Lubbock, a mber of the Night Raid Team.
Cross Tail belongs to the item class of Imperial tools, consisting of a spool of thread, wrapped with super-dangerous creature’s body hair. This hair surpasses all known tals in strength, which the user can manipulate deftly.
Rather than body hair, the threads of Cross Tail are more like super-strength alloy wires, combining flexibility, sharpness, and durability.
During the pursuit, Su Xiao was puzzled as to how Lubbock set up these threads without him noticing.
A thought suddenly struck him, realizing these threads could block perception! After all, these were made from super-dangerous organisms’ body tissue; possessing such capabilities wasn’t surprising.
Realizing this point, Su Xiao was startled.
Just then, a hair-raising sensation erged.
Going further would be death!
Su Xiao’s footsteps ca to an abrupt halt, as a barely noticeable cold glint flashed just centiters from his face.
Dragon Slash extended forward.
Clink.
A faint click sounded. In front of him appeared a nearly imperceptible thread line. Had he charged into this thread line at his previous speed, this sharp line would have severed his neck.
Obviously, Lubbock had precisely calculated Su Xiao’s height, running speed, and predicted direction.
Given Su Xiao’s knowledge, it wasn’t surprising that Lubbock had such intelligence.
Leone had already vanished from perception. Su Xiao abandoned the futile pursuit; understanding the approximate strength of the Night Raid Team was sufficient, as other enemies awaited him.
