Chapter 716: Recruit?



Su Xiao was somewhat surprised. He had already resisted the strike force of the Orphan of Resentment · Xius, so what was this second wave of tremendous force?

Su Xiao didn\'t have time to think further; the muscle-curved blade had already knocked him away.

Bang.

Protected by the counterattack shield, Su Xiao collided with the wall. Because there was a barrier, the wall was unusually stiff, which was not a good thing and would cause him injury upon impact.

Su Xiao had just landed and hadn\'t had a chance to stand up when the Orphan of Resentment Xius rushed forward again, raising the muscle-curved blade in his hand, ready to flatten Su Xiao.

Sizzle~

The boundary-breaking thread entangled the Orphan of Resentment · Xius, freezing Xius\'s movement as he swung the muscle-curved blade.

Seizing this opportunity, Su Xiao hit the ground with his hand to get up and jumped away from the Orphan of Resentment · Xius.

The Orphan of Resentment · Xius looked down at the boundary-breaking thread entwining it, gradually exerting force with its arms.

Creak, creak...

The boundary-breaking thread shattered, falling under the feet of the Orphan of Resentment · Xius, about a third of its length now defunct.

Su Xiao retracted the remaining two-thirds of the boundary-breaking thread. This time, the opponent he faced was formidable to the point of astonishment but not yet to the point of despair.

Firstly, the Orphan of Resentment · Xius couldn\'t break through the counterattack shield in one strike, and its speed was not fast enough for Su Xiao to be completely unable to react.

The most important thing was whether Su Xiao could harm the Orphan of Resentment · Xius. If the opponent\'s defence was solid, Su Xiao would basically not need to fight, as he would be beaten into a pulp in less than half an hour.

Blood dripped from Su Xiao\'s mouth. He began to approach the Orphan of Resentment · Xius.

Seeing Su Xiao\'s movements, Xius was clearly somewhat surprised. It had not seen a human so unafraid of death in a long time, so it bravely charged towards Su Xiao.

Su Xiao\'s pupils slightly contracted as he tried to capture Xius\'s movements.

Boom!

The muscle-curved blade smashed down, and despite a counterattack shield in defence, Su Xiao\'s knees began to bend.

"Mortal, kneel!"

The Orphan of Resentment · Xius tightly gripped the muscle-curved blade, attempting to force Su Xiao to kneel with brute force.

Realising the situation, Su Xiao immediately turned to the side, and the counterattack shields around him dispersed. Without the counterattack shields to block, the muscle-curved blade struck down.

Boom, rubble splattered. Every strike from the Orphan of Resentment · Xius was powerful enough to take a life.

Taking advantage of the opening created by the muscle-curved blade\'s strike, Su Xiao launched an attack.

The long blade sliced through the air and appeared instantly in front of the Orphan of Resentment · Xius, who immediately turned his head.

Clang.

The Dragon Flash grazed Xius\'s skull, slicing off a piece of the skull.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao\'s eyes lit up. The enemy\'s defence was not as formidable as he had imagined, which meant there was a chance.

After being struck by Su Xiao, Xius stopped in place. It looked at the piece of skull on the ground, and its eyes lost their mockery.

If Su Xiao had been seen as a dying struggling house cat in Xius\'s eyes before, he was now a hungry wolf capable of taking a bite.

"Pitiful mor..."

Before the Orphan of Resentment · Xius could finish speaking, Su Xiao had already charged forward.

This time, Su Xiao retracted the counterattack shields around him. Although the counterattack shields could block the enemy\'s attacks, they would also increase their attack area, especially when facing an enemy using blunt weapons.

Blunt weapons, to some extent, restrained the counterattack shields. Every time the counterattack shields were struck, Su Xiao would suffer shock.

With an aura that eroded 5% of his life every minute, Su Xiao wouldn\'t last five minutes if he were to be shocked a few more times.

Rather than waiting for a slow death, Su Xiao chose to go all in and removed his defence.

Su Xiao actively approached Xius. Xius\'s eyes seemed to show a successful scheme, and the muscle-curved blade in its hand was not just a blunt weapon; it could devour the flesh and blood of the enemy, provided it struck the enemy directly. So, as long as it hit the enemy once, the battle would be over.

Xius continued to use its original moves, raising the muscle-curved blade and striking.

This time, Su Xiao didn\'t focus on the muscle-curved blade but kept his eyes on Xius. The muscle-curved blade was too fast, and trying to track it with the naked eye was unwise. Su Xiao began to rely on his sensory warnings.

As the muscle-curved blade struck down, Su Xiao\'s steps shifted.

Boom.

The muscle-curved blade struck the ground, narrowly missing Su Xiao. His coat fluttered in the strong wind.

Although it looked stylish, Su Xiao was essentially dancing on the blade\'s edge. Given the force of the muscle-curved blade, being hit once would be fatal, and this thing likely had other abilities.

Su Xiao\'s Dragon Flash grazed Xius\'s ribcage, leaving a deep gash on the ribs, even sparking as the energy of the azure steel shadow infiltrated Xius\'s body.

Xius grunted, and from the angry look in its eyes, the azure steel shadow energy had seriously injured it.

With a successful strike, Su Xiao retreated.

Clearly, Su Xiao\'s choice to remove his defence, rely on perception to evade Xius\'s attacks, and counterattack when the opportunity arose was the right one, even though it carried a high risk.

The booming sound continued to echo in the main hall. Xius, wielding the muscle-curved blade, relentlessly pursued Su Xiao, showing no intention of giving up.

Su Xiao, doing his best to avoid Xius\'s attacks, counterattacked whenever he had the chance and continued to evade when he didn\'t. He had gained the upper hand for now, having previously been on the defensive.

Was this really the case? Not exactly. As long as Xius hit Su Xiao once, the battle would be over, and Su Xiao\'s life was slipping away faster than Xius\'s due to the aura\'s erosion.

"The value of life in the reincarnation paradise is not the same as in the game. In the game, even if your life value is only 1%, it will not affect your status. However, after three minutes of combat, Su Xiao slowed down noticeably, with only 42% of his life value left. He felt pain all over his body, which was caused by the erosion of the aura.

Su Xiao had at least dozens of wounds on his body, all of which were caused by scraping stones. The stones Xius threw had a power no less than rifle bullets.

Whoosh~

The muscle-bending blade smashed down, and Su Xiao bent down to avoid it. He was about to counterattack when a sharp pain came from his chest, and his movements stopped.

This is bad!

Su Xiao\'s pupils constricted. This momentary mistake could cost him his life.

Xius also noticed Su Xiao\'s mistake. It directly released the exhausted muscle-bending blade and used its arms, which extended to three meters, to embrace Su Xiao.

Su Xiao would be in big trouble if he was caught, given Xius\'s monstrous strength.

The range of this embrace was extensive, and there was no room to dodge. At this critical moment, Su Xiao constructed a barrel-shaped energy shield with a strength of 300 points next to him.

Bang! Xius grabbed the energy shield around Su Xiao, and Su Xiao jumped up from the gap in the barrel-shaped energy shield.

Pale bone spurs grew out of Xius\'s arm and chest, which were highly sharp and instantly riddled the energy shield. This was one of Xius\'s skills, extremely powerful but with a long cooldown.

With a cracking sound, the energy shield shattered, and the bone spurs growing on Xius\'s body began to fall off.

Su Xiao used his skill to narrowly escape at the cost of 300 mana points.

"Not bad," Xius said as it picked up the muscle-bending blade from the ground and glanced at the cuts on its bones. "Human, your strength has earned my recognition. I will allow you to serve me and make amends for your previous mistakes."

Just as Xius finished speaking, Su Xiao received a notification from the Cycle Paradise.

[Notification: The Hunter has received the recruitment of \'Lord-level Creature\' Orphan of Resentment · Xius. If you agree to the recruitment, you will become the servant of Orphan of Resentment · Xius in this derivative world.]

[Notification: If you agree to the recruitment, the completion rate of the Talent Awakening task will significantly decrease.]

Since the Reincarnation Paradise provided a notification, it meant that this was a chance to survive, a compromise for survival.

"I refuse."

Su Xiao wielded the long knife in his hand. Today, there were only two outcomes: the enemy died, or he died."
