Su Xiao injected No.1 Potion directly into his body. Duke Lan was equally bold. He also pulled out a syringe, not to jab at his neck, but to stab his heart.
With one jab, the gushing blood on Duke Lan’s shoulder stopped. Not only that, but he also summoned dozens of chanical scorpions. These scorpions crawled onto Duke Lan’s body and ford a black arm starting from his shoulder wound.
The chanical scorpion arm quickly ford, with five fingers being the tail stings of five chanical scorpions. Blue poison fluid dripped from the stingers at the fingertips, hissing and sizzling as it hit the ground.
"Great, the arm is ready, and the Phantom Bee will return soon."
Both were ruthless characters. After getting his leg blown off, one imdiately injected dangerously potent healing items into his body to ensure his moving speed. The other stabbed his heart and used summons to form a prosthetic limb. Since this arm wasn’t a regenerated arm of Duke Lan, Dragon Slash’s ability didn’t trigger.
"The arm is fixed, but how do I break free from this thing? It seems quite sturdy."
Duke Lan looked down at his body, where he was entangled by the Boundary Line.
Within the crater, Su Xiao tightened the Boundary Line, and blood marks appeared on Duke Lan outside the crater. This guy had high physical attributes, and the Boundary Line could only break his skin, not chop him into pieces.
Duke Lan leaned backward, his feet plowing the ground, gradually approaching Su Xiao. The difference in power attributes was undeniable.
As Su Xiao’s legs regained sensation, he imdiately dashed forward following the direction of the Boundary Line, rushing out of the crater in a few steps.
The two stared at each other from over thirty ters away. Despite being covered in fresh blood from the Boundary Line cuts, Duke Lan wasn’t panicking; instead, he smiled.
"Are you sure you want to co and slash ?"
Duke Lan whistled, and a sharp breaking void sound ca from far above the battlefield. For so reason, neither the Empire nor the tribe soldiers ca within a hundred ters of the two. This area seed to have beco a ’forbidden zone.’
This was Duke Lan’s summons at work. Each of his chanical summons had unique abilities, like the rhinoceros beetles now stationed a hundred ters away, misleading those soldiers’ perceptions. Those soldiers thought that the battle area between Su Xiao and Duke Lan was dangerous and shouldn’t be approached.
Upon hearing the distant familiar breaking void sound, Su Xiao’s cheek twitched. The power of that tal arrow was really disgusting, capable of fading away, moving supersonically, inflicting abnormal states upon hitting, and, most annoyingly, it could split.
Duke Lan had many combat tactics, sothing Su Xiao couldn’t match. Su Xiao didn’t know those flashy things; he only excelled at cutting people down. Just a few slashes, and few enemies of the sa tier survived. Even big bosses had been brought down by him after a few chops.
Now Su Xiao had two choices: turn around to deal with the tal arrow or ignore the arrow and attack Duke Lan with full force.
Duke Lan knew this too. He was gambling, betting that Su Xiao would care about his own life and would prioritize defending himself against the Phantom Bee.
Su Xiao stomped on the ground without turning his head, directly charging towards Duke Lan!
"This brute."
Duke Lan’s whistle paused montarily, then beca even more urgent.
Su Xiao quickly dashed to Duke Lan’s front. While Duke Lan controlled the Phantom Bee, he couldn’t control other summons, so he could only leap back. Fortunately, his agility was quite high.
The long knife slashed down, and the tip of Dragon Slash sliced through Duke Lan’s leather shirt, cutting a few centiters deep wound on his chest.
Duke Lan was a battle-hardened man, enduring the intense pain caused by Blue Steel Shadow Energy with sheer willpower.
"Command: Supersonic."
Duke Lan’s whistling stopped.
Boom!
A sonic boom sounded from behind Su Xiao, the sound of sothing achieving supersonic speed.
At this mont, Duke Lan was still in a retreating posture, with a cluster of blood beads floating in front of his chest.
Su Xiao’s pupils contracted as that strange feeling reappeared. Pain started to throb in his back, as if sothing was about to pierce his heart; he instinctively shifted his body.
With a swoosh, the Phantom Bee penetrated Su Xiao’s body, vanishing into the ground ahead of him.
A thick arm-like wound appeared on the lower left side of Su Xiao’s chest, revealing his beating heart through the wound.
The Phantom Bee in the soil fell into a forced dormant state.
"Didn’t pierce the vital point, damn it!"
Hundreds of chanical bees appeared around Duke Lan. Ignoring the chanical bees, Su Xiao rushed to Duke Lan’s front.
Bursting blade aura flashed, and Su Xiao slashed several tis in less than a second. Since the enemy didn’t block his attacks, the high-speed slashing was most effective, slicing Duke Lan’s neck, chest, abdon, and other parts.
As Su Xiao swung his blade, hundreds of chanical bees enveloped him.
"Command: Suicide."
Blood gushed from Duke Lan’s mouth as he issued the command.
Boom!
The explosion’s flas engulfed Su Xiao. This was one of Duke Lan’s abilities, capable of concentrating the explosive power of summons. The blast consud Su Xiao, with dust and dirt flying in all directions, calming the battlefield.
The dust floated up as a gentle breeze blew through, dispersing the smoke.
Duke Lan’s severed head stood on the ground with a dazed expression, but suddenly his eyeball moved and he looked at Su Xiao; he was still alive!
"..."
Duke Lan’s mouth opened and closed without making a sound. Being beheaded ant he couldn’t speak, but fortunately using his skills didn’t require sound. His lifesaving big move ability was called: ’Command: chanical Heart.’
Thud, thud, thud...
Inside Duke Lan’s segnted body, the heart that had stopped beating resud. If one were to extract this heart, they would find it was chanically constructed, the reason he wasn’t dead despite being chopped to pieces.
In fact, Duke Lan could still die if he did nothing within ten seconds of being beheaded, eventually losing consciousness and finally dying.
With the chanical heart beating, Duke Lan’s shattered body began to chanize. Once his whole body was talized, Duke Lan breathed a sigh of relief. His head also turned tallic; as long as the chanical heart wasn’t destroyed, he wouldn’t die temporarily.
Dozens of chanical beetles dug out from the ground, picked up Duke Lan’s body, and pieced it back together. Of course, even pieced together, it was useless; nerves and bones were already severed. This couldn’t be solved by chanization, which was a lifesaving big move, not a resurrection on the spot.
A dozen beetles used their claws and mouth pincers to stabilize Duke Lan’s body, forming a humanoid shape.
chanization could only last for two hours. If Duke Lan couldn’t restore his body within two hours, he would die.
Duke Lan’s body couldn’t move at this mont, only his facial features could. Fortunately, a bunch of beetles supported him.
"Still alive? As expected, this guy has strong survival abilities."
Duke Lan looked at Su Xiao, who was lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
Suddenly, Su Xiao’s index finger twitched slightly, and several beetles that were about to approach him stopped.
Su Xiao, lying on the ground, lifted his head; pain surged throughout his body. He tried to prop himself up but failed.
"Kill him."
Upon Duke Lan’s command, several beetles approached Su Xiao, ready to self-explode.
A white object rolled out of Su Xiao’s arms. It split into dozens of white little frogs upon appearing, hopping towards Duke Lan.
"Retreat!"
The chanical beetles under Duke Lan moved swiftly, dragging him away. The white frogs pursued relentlessly, and the chanical beetles that approached to kill Su Xiao collided with the alchemy bomb.
With a loud boom, the chanical beetles exploded, with a large portion of the alchemy bomb-ford frogs detonated, leaving only a dozen chasing Duke Lan.
A chanical beetle tunneled out from the earth, swiftly carrying a tal arrow away, looking quite amusing.
Su Xiao stood up from the ground; he longed to wield his knife and chase them down. Unfortunately, despite his desires, his power was insufficient; facing Duke Lan as a Hunter of Apocalypse Paradise certainly wasn’t easy.
Considering his current physical state, the idea of pursuing Duke Lan was a pipe dream; survival in the battlefield was what really mattered. After Duke Lan’s retreat, the soldiers battling a hundred ters away began closing in on Su Xiao.
Su Xiao drank a bottle of No.1 Potion and contemplated for a mont before decisively lying on the ground pretending to be dead; this was his specialty.
Actually, Su Xiao wasn’t anxious. Reincarnation Paradise hadn’t assigned him a task to kill the opponent, but the opponent seed tasked with killing him based on his words. Unless he killed him, the opponent would die before this world ended, though the truth of this statent was uncertain, being an enemy’s claim; Su Xiao didn’t fully believe it.
In this battle, although neither killed the other, Su Xiao was the victor. Except for his chest bearing a hole, he didn’t lose any other components; Duke Lan was more unfortunate, being chopped into six pieces by Su Xiao.
