Getting close to Su Xiao is a terrifying experience, at least that’s how Cold Moon feels. The whistling blade swept past her ear, cutting off Cold Moon’s black hair, leaving a bloodstain on her cheek. Cold Moon, who is skilled with dual swords, now has only one arm, making it even harder to block Su Xiao’s slashes. Lorna charged in from the side, but Su Xiao didn’t even glance at her. The long knife in his hand pressed down, Cold Moon’s face flushed red, struggling to hold onto her stabbing sword. A green light floated on Cold Moon’s body, it’s Candy’s healing skill. Su Xiao didn’t care about Cold Moon in front of him, nor did he care much about Lorna charging from the side. As for Candy, he directly ignored her. Only one person in the scene gave him a sense of danger, and that was Blood Rose, who stood not far away. As the deputy leader of the Other Shore Flower Adventure Group, Blood Rose hadn’t contributed at all in the previous battle, instead looking like she might betray her teammates. Even so, Blood Rose still gave Su Xiao a vague sense of danger, not that she was selling out her teammates, but she was brewing some sort of move. First, deal with the two close-ranged ones, then handle Blood Rose. Having made up his mind, a red light flashed on the bracer of Su Xiao’s left arm as he activated the skill of the Bull Head Lord Arm Armor. Equipment Effect: Minotaur Lord’s Rage (Active), after activating this skill, Power +15 for 10 seconds. Note: Minotaur Lord’s Rage (Active) has a cooldown of 10 natural days. Note: Activating Minotaur Lord’s Rage (Active) consumes 30% of Life Value. Su Xiao doesn’t often use this skill; he previously intended to use it as a trump card, but later realized it wasn’t as perfect as imagined. In a brutal battle, suddenly deducting 30% of Life Value is dangerous and could cause Su Xiao to fall into a brink of death state. Fresh blood surged out from within, his pupils shimmering with a red glow. His current Power Attribute is 45, with the +15, it becomes 60 points. Unfortunately, since he hasn’t passed the First Tier trial, his Attributes can only reach a maximum of 50 points. Surging power emerged from within, although it only lasts for 10 seconds, it’s already enough. The long knife in Su Xiao’s hand pressed down, with a thud, Dragon Slash deeply embedded into Cold Moon’s shoulder. The bone near her arm was cut through, Cold Moon’s right hand went limp, dropping the stabbing sword on the ground. At this moment, Lorna charged in from the side with a shield. Su Xiao grabbed Cold Moon’s throat, using her as a shield beside him, startling the charging Lorna. Su Xiao and Cold Moon flew up together, Cold Moon vomited blood in mid-air, while Su Xiao remained calm. Lorna roared angrily, charging at Su Xiao once more. Su Xiao landed steadily, catching Cold Moon’s neck from behind, cutting Cold Moon’s artery with Dragon Slash. The cold blade sliced through, and Cold Moon knew it was over—not because she would die, but because Lorna was going to lose. He threw Cold Moon at the running Lorna, whose expression twisted as she hesitated whether to catch Cold Moon. The previous explosion was still vivid in her mind, and there were still bee body tissues on her. Cold Moon in mid-air couldn’t speak due to her cut throat, only shaking her head desperately to signal Lorna not to catch her. Cold Moon didn’t have a bomb on her; Su Xiao wouldn’t use the same trick twice in a row. With 6 seconds left on Minotaur Lord’s Rage (Active), Su Xiao needed to act fast. As Cold Moon fell, Lorna turned to look for Su Xiao, only to find he had vanished. A cold sensation came from her back, Lorna clenched her jaw, turning with all her might. The sword tip protruded from Lorna’s collarbone but didn’t pierce her heart. Moments ago, while Lorna was watching the blood-spraying Cold Moon, Su Xiao had dashed full-speed behind her. Su Xiao’s speed wasn’t slow, with 45 Agility Attribute, she was no match for him to catch up. A large amount of Blue Steel Shadow Energy poured into Lorna, who spat out a mouthful of blood. Cold Moon had lost her combat ability; without timely treatment, she’d definitely die of blood loss. Now, Lorna wasn’t in a comfortable state either. With his blade piercing through her body, Su Xiao stood behind Lorna, making it impossible for her to turn. Fully thrusting Dragon Slash into Lorna, Su Xiao released the hilt, using his left hand to choke Lorna’s neck, right hand gripping his left fist, forming a guillotine. The red metal bracer pressed tightly against Lorna’s skin, as she let go of her shield, drawing a dagger to stab Su Xiao. Before the dagger could stab, Su Xiao’s knee rose sharply, striking Lorna’s lower back spine violently. The spine suffered severe damage, leaving the dagger thrust lacking power, bringing about a choking sensation, causing her vision to blur. Kaka, Su Xiao’s formed guillotine grew tighter. Seconds later, Lorna’s body went limp, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground. Cold Moon watched this scene from a distance; both her arms were cut off, her throat slashed, and one leg’s tendon severed. After several failed attempts to stand, Cold Moon helplessly lay on the ground, confused about two things: why the enemy became so much stronger, and what was wrong with Blood Rose—she couldn’t believe Blood Rose would betray her. Su Xiao defeated Cold Moon and Lorna without suffering any injury himself. It wasn’t a brute-force crush but a disparity in technique and combat experience. If they compared Attributes, Cold Moon’s Agility was slightly higher than Su Xiao’s. His Power exceeded Cold Moon’s, his Speed surpassed Lorna’s, showcasing the benefit of Four Attributes Development. Attributes are like a car; the car’s potential speed depends on how the driver maneuvers, whether it’s ’crashing through walls’ or ’drifting through corners’—the speed isn’t comparable. Su Xiao continued to choke Lorna, who was on the verge of entering a hypoxic brain state, meaning she would surely die. At this moment, Su Xiao inexplicably loosened his grip, moving his body to the side. A terrifying whistling sound approached, a blood-red long spear pierced through. If Su Xiao hadn’t dodged, the spear would have skewered his head. Lorna knelt on the ground, her head hitting the floor. A hand grabbed her body, it was Blood Rose. "Sorry to keep you waiting." Blood Rose gently placed Lorna on the ground, with Cold Moon staring blankly at her. Upon hearing Cold Moon’s question, Blood Rose chuckled softly. "Just a small skill, that’s all." Blood Rose stood up, glanced at Su Xiao, then at Candy. "Don’t just stand there, hurry and take them away." Candy quickly approached, assisting Cold Moon and the semi-conscious Lorna. "Sister Rose, your eyes..." "I told you it’s just a small skill, now go quickly." In this situation, with an IQ above 50, no one would believe Blood Rose’s words. At this moment, Blood Rose’s face was pale, her pupils dimmed, more importantly, a red mist drifted from her body, evaporating into the air. This was the ultimate skill of Blood Rose’s mastered profession, named Blood Weeping Rose. Blood Weeping Rose Lv.3 (Ultimate Skill) Use Requirements: Soul Crystals (Small) ×2, consuming 90% of Mana Value. Skill Effect: After activating Blood Weeping Rose, Power +13, Agility +12, Stamina +10, Charm +10, Note: This skill cannot be stopped once activated, until the enemy is killed or the user’s blood burns out. The concept of this skill means it’s a death match unless your enemy or you die, and apart from Blood Rose herself, no one knew she had this skill. "Farewell, dear friend." Blood Rose whispered softly to Cold Moon, who didn’t hear what Blood Rose said due to blood loss causing her dizziness. Blood Rose turned and walked toward Su Xiao, her back facing Cold Moon. The expressionless eyes showed little emotion. Since Blood Rose dared to activate Blood Weeping Rose, it meant she had the courage to face death. Su Xiao sensed a strong state from her, much like the wonder of the "Dragon Power" potion. But in the face of vast strength disparity with the enemy, does going berserk help? The answer is it’s pretty much useless. If going berserk were that effective, everyone would learn such a skill rather than arduously enhance their strength.
