On the vast water surface, a hundred meters wide stone platform spanning the entire water surface was covered by a thin layer of water. Su Xiao and the gray gentleman stood on it and faced each other.

Ding~

Su Xiao tapped the blade with his left index finger, and the two buff states of "Silver Moon Blade" and "Spiritual Blade" were added to the blade. Without any nonsense, there was a roar under his feet, and a spray of water was blasted away due to the strong kinetic energy.

It disappeared on the spot and turned into an afterimage, heading straight for the gray gentleman.

Wherever Su Xiao passed, the water surface suddenly rose. The next second, he appeared in front of the gray gentleman. The long knife in his hand tore through the space, cut a black mark, and went straight to the gray gentleman's neck.

The gray gentleman's eyes were still calm. When Su Xiao suddenly came, he had raised his right hand. Just when the sword was about to hit him, he pressed his hand forward.

boom!

A blast of air spread, and Su Xiao's attack came to an abrupt end. The long knife stopped ten centimeters from the gray gentleman's neck. The wind pressure caused by the slashing power blew the gray gentleman's hair and collar.

Behind Su Xiao, a black shadow appeared. This black shadow had the same body shape, clothing outline, and even the weapons in his hands. It also moved in sync with him. It was this black shadow that made his attack suddenly stop. This was the gray shadow.

Gentleman's marionette ability.

Kakaka~

The black shadow behind Su Xiao quickly crystallized, and Aoge's ability was not only used for defense.

There was a crashing sound, crystal fragments scattered everywhere, Su Xiao's aura exploded, and while the blood energy hit the gray gentleman head-on, he slashed out with another knife.

when!

Sparks flew up, and a metal cane blocked the dragon-slaying flash. To be precise, this should be regarded as a cane-sword.

A phantom appeared behind the gray gentleman. This phantom had no lower body and seemed to be connected to the gray gentleman's back. She was wearing a mask of a silent bird and materialized. The arm holding a staff and sword had somewhat feminine soft lines.

, but there is also a sense of resolute power.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

The screams of the metal and iron swords continued, and several more swords were blocked by Gray Gentleman. Gray Gentleman was not weak in melee combat, and his marionettes were not lacking in skill types. With the blessing of his abilities, these soul marionettes could compete with

Su Xiao faced him head-on.

While Su Xiao's slashes were blocked by the soul puppet one after another, the gray gentleman raised his hand and pointed at Su Xiao, and a straight black line appeared.

The moment the gray gentleman pointed at the center of Su Xiao's eyebrows, Su Xiao's eyebrows felt stinging. The "perception of pain" alone reached this level. If he was hit by this blow, his head would most likely be shattered and the battle would end.

The black line between the gray gentleman's finger and Su Xiao's eyebrows solidified. Almost at the same time, Su Xiao turned her head to avoid it.

boom!!

A fist-thick beam of darkness flew past Su Xiao's ear, and the palm of the gray gentleman opposite was aimed at Su Xiao.

Boom!

There was a buzz in Su Xiao's ears, and a huge force came towards him, like a dark barrier hitting him from the front, knocking him back more than 30 meters.

The water from the plow under Su Xiao's feet splashed everywhere. When he stopped, he was half squatting on the stone platform. Water droplets dripped down the ends of his hair, and his bones seemed to be falling apart.

A few dozen meters away, the Gray Gentleman looked relaxed, but in fact he was not. The soul marionette behind him was turning into black air and evaporating. This soul marionette just fought a few close combats with Su Xiao. The soul marionette was at the level of a melee master.

, turned out to be useless, just like a fucking dream.

The gray gentleman with dark golden eyes narrowed his eyes. He knew that in the current situation, the only way to win was to plunge further into the abyss. For this, he was already prepared.

An impact spread with Gray Gentleman as the center point, and black smoke enveloped him. The next second, the black smoke dissipated, and Gray Gentleman floated half a meter above the water. His height reached over 1.95 meters, and he was shirtless.

His upper body is a bit stronger than before.

It stands to reason that it usually takes a few seconds to change the fighting form, but Gray Gentleman can complete it in the blink of an eye. This is to do his best to avoid Su Xiao from rushing forward and giving him a knife while he changes form.

A twisted black energy field appeared around the gray gentleman, and cracks like broken glass appeared in the surrounding air. This is the courage that the gray gentleman should have to absorb the power of the abyss. This was just a test.

The gray gentleman looked at the empty place, and Baha, who was in a different space here, took a breath.

"I'm sorry~"

As soon as Baha opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, followed by a sense of restraint. When he reacted, the gray gentleman had already grabbed his head with one hand and squeezed it.

Click.

Baha cracked, its skull cracked. Baha, who escaped with his life by traveling through space at the critical moment, fell on Su Xiao's shoulder, and blood flowed out from its beak and nostrils.

"Boss, that move just now was too... too sudden. I didn't feel anything. It was not a spatial ability."

Baha, whose eyes were filled with blood, spoke and left these words, which disappeared into a different space.

Located a hundred meters away, Bubu Wang, who was providing the halo here, subconsciously held his breath. He was extremely scared at the time.

Boom, boom!

Two black thorns stabbed out from Su Xiao's feet. He jumped back continuously, causing a large number of black thorns to follow him along the way.

These black thorns are spiral-shaped, black with a gray metallic texture, and are made from a mixture of abyss energy and some kind of substance. Not to mention the stab wounds caused by them, the accompanying debuff effects are definitely more terrifying.

Su Xiao stopped jumping back, the sound of wind in his ears stopped, and he made a false move with his sword.

'Bendō Sword Aouki.'

Zheng~

A cyan-blue cutting light with a diameter of more than 3 meters slashed out diagonally. This cutting light was unstoppable and struck the gray gentleman with the sound of breaking wind.

The gray gentleman floating in the low altitude pressed forward with one hand, and with a snap, the green ghost that was slashed a few meters in front of him shattered and turned into blue-blue slashing light fragments, flying around the gray gentleman.

At this moment, the faint red light in Su Xiao's eyes turned into light blue, and the fragments of the green ghost that flew behind the gray gentleman suddenly rolled back. This was not the fragment of cutting light, but the green ghost was charged by the dark energy.

The moment before it dispersed, it split into large pieces of small slashing light.

Following Su Xiao's control, these small green ghosts slashed back and chopped onto the gray gentleman's back!

Then, failing to break the defense, Mader! Rubbish!

"..."

The gray gentleman frowned, secretly feeling that this matter was not simple. He thought that there was no way to guard against these little green ghosts, but in fact he was overthinking it.

After the preliminary confrontation, Su Xiao has roughly judged the gray gentleman's fighting style. The opponent's fighting style is mid-range, and his close combat ability is not weak, but it is not durable enough.

Even so, the opponent has multiple means of defense against melee combat. The dark impact alone is enough to give people a headache, and every time Su Xiao is hit by the opponent's ability, the mark of darkness will be superimposed.

Once there is a dark mark on the body, all vitality recovery effects are forcibly reduced by 50%, and once the mark reaches 10 layers, it will explode.

After the dark mark breaks out, a "Puppet of the Past" will appear behind Su Xiao. The effect of this puppet is to synchronize a target's mobility, which means it can be forcibly immobilized for 3 to 5 seconds.

This ability is not mental control, or even control ability, but a kind of synchronization of mobility, so it cannot be immune to various passive effects of its own.

Let alone 3 to 5 seconds, in a fierce battle, even being immobilized for 1 second is enough to end the battle.

The good news is that Su Xiao can use the Arrogant ability to break this trick, which is to crystallize the "Secret Puppet", but this requires a short restraint time of 0 and is also very dangerous. The Gray Gentleman just used the "Dark Finger"

The ability is enough to take the opportunity to shoot Su Xiao's head.

As for the Gray Gentleman's ability to suddenly pull people over, please don't be funny, the Gray Gentleman will never use this ability on Su Xiao.

In addition, the 45 marionettes summoned by the opponent at the beginning of the war are also particularly troublesome. These 45 marionettes have become a looming encirclement, surrounding Su Xiao.

The detection of the Eye of the Gods was ineffective against Gray Gentleman and was blocked by a certain piece of equipment of the opponent. With Su Xiao's rich combat experience, he felt that Gray Gentleman's current combat system was not complicated, but simple and crude similar to his own.

Su Xiao's battle relies entirely on a knife, while Gray Gentleman now has a deep connection with the power of the abyss. The opponent's "Ultra Dark Domain", "Dark Finger", and "Dark Impact" may seem simple, but this kind of improvement has

The ultimate ability is the most troublesome and terrifying. It is powerful, has a large range, and has a short interval between uses.

Su Xiao's perception circle gradually narrowed, her figure was slightly lowered, and the long knife in her hand pointed diagonally at the water that had become clear.

Zhi~

Black threads spread out from the Gray Gentleman's arms and connected to the 45 Marionettes. Their eyes gradually regained their brightness. Some of them showed unwillingness, some showed anger, and most of them showed appointments.

As the Gray Gentleman gave the order, the sound of marionettes stepping on the water came from the surrounding area.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three black and blue fireballs exploded, and a burning sensation approached from Su Xiao's right side.

‘Bendō Sword·Bite.’

With a roar, the dark red leather chain was slashed out, scattering three black and blue fireballs. While slashing out the sword, Su Xiao had already smoothly closed the sword, and drew the sword for 0.12 seconds to prepare for the attack.

‘Bendō Sword·Kaishen.’

The ring-shaped sword light spread to the surrounding area, but the marionettes that rushed towards them were not ordinary people. Some of them resisted forcefully, some jumped forward, and there was even a short-haired girl who simply came to slide and shovel.

The short-haired girl pressed one hand against the water, and with a bang, a puff of white smoke rose up, and several three-headed dogs with pustules all over their bodies rushed out of the white smoke. This was an improved and enhanced version of the psychic technique.

Several three-headed dogs came to bite Su Xiao. The long knife in Su Xiao's hand was swung in front of her body. The blade field was indeed a good way to deal with the boss, but it was perfect for dealing with these marionettes.

The Blade Domain spread out, covering a surrounding area of ​​more than 100 meters, and light blue slashing lights shot out one after another.

Zheng, Zheng, Zheng...

Broken flesh and blood splashed everywhere. When the effect of the Blade Field ended, large pieces of flesh and broken bones fell on the stone platform. Blood beads fell like rain, and the water around Su Xiao was dyed red.

The gray gentleman opposite was still standing there, no movement was seen from him, and the defense layer around him was broken with slash marks.

The moment all marionettes were chopped into pieces, their flesh and blood turned red and exploded.
