Blood dripped down the tip of the knife. Su Xiao held the knife in one hand and pointed the tip of the knife diagonally at the ground. Suddenly, the fire of sin ignited on the long knife.

‘Bendō Sword·Ryu.’

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The elegant wind marks slashed at the incoming wolf sword, and Su Xiao suddenly appeared behind a wolf knight, but the wolf knight reacted very quickly, and a burst of dark energy burst out from his body, accompanied by a ferocious wolf roar.

There was a buzzing sound in Su Xiao's ears. When he came to his senses, he was already dozens of meters away from the side and half submerged in the wall. He was stunned by the abyss wolf roar just now, and was then hit by another wolf knight.

here.

Although all the bones in his body felt like they were falling apart, Su Xiao was still sharp. He leaned back and a spiral gun passed through his chin and sank into the wall with a clang.

The wind pressure hit from the side, and Su Xiao's pupils gradually tightened.

‘Bendō Sword·Toki.’

Boom~

The field of time spread, and Su Xiao's perception clearly captured a spiral gun stabbing the side of his neck. He hooked his right hand and threw out the long knife in his hand.

The long knife flew past the ear of a member of the choir, and space fluctuations appeared. Su Xiao appeared behind the member of the choir. He held the handle of Dragon Slaying Flash behind his back. While turning around, he struck back with the knife.

Stab, the long knife penetrated the neck of this choir member.

After killing the enemy with one sword, he thrust the long sword outward and slashed forward to block the oncoming wolf sword.

With a bang, Su Xiao was deliberately chopped away. In mid-air, the long knife in his hand flipped over from holding the knife in his backhand to his forehand. He took advantage of the situation and stood on the ceiling, tilting his head upside down.

A thrown spiral gun flew past his ear.

Zhi~

The boundary line wrapped around the spiral gun tightened, and Su Xiao was carried away by the force of the spiral gun. When he landed, he held the spiral gun in one hand, a knife in the other, and a spear in the other, and rushed towards a wolf knight.

.

Dang Dang Dang...

A series of slashes and gun sweeps made the wolf knight take two steps back. Immediately afterwards, the blood energy clung to the spear, relying on the gun blade to form a huge ax blade with the blood energy.

Su Xiao made a round stance and struck down with a spear axe. After hitting the opposite wolf's sword, the blood ax exploded with a loud force. The impact caused the blood smoke that could block perception and sight to disperse.

Zheng~

The brisk and elegant slashes flashed away, and the wolf knight who was hit by the sword turned into a dark energy form. In an instant, he appeared a few meters behind. He raised his hand and pressed it to his throat. The neck armor was broken, and a slash mark was particularly obvious.

, with a cry, the fire of sin ignited in his body.

Su Xiao turned into a blood shadow and disappeared, and the roar continued in the Hall of Atonement.

Half an hour later.

Boom!

Su Xiao hammered a member of the choir straight to the wall, and then cut off his arm holding the spiral gun with a knife, causing the fire of sin to emerge on the other person's body.

'Blood smoke cannon.'

Su Xiao pointed at an oncoming member of the choir and blasted out a straight line of blood energy rays. However, the member of the choir did not dodge. Even if his shoulder was pierced, he still chose to charge towards Su Xiao.

Suddenly, this member of the choir stopped, and the flames of sin ignited on her body with a cry. If you look closely, you will find that with the help of the 'Blood Smoke Cannon' just now, a spiritual shadow line penetrated into her wound.

This spiritual shadow line is burning with the fire of sin.

With a buzzing sound, golden light balls appeared around Su Xiao. Before he could react, these walnut-sized golden light balls exploded one after another.

Boom, boom, boom...

The explosion was so loud that Zhen's Temple of Atonement trembled. When the energy explosion ended, Su Xiao, whose whole body was covered with broken crystal layers, squatted on the ground, blood dripping down his chin, and there were only two enemies left.

The "main soul" of the collective of sins has nowhere to hide. Su Xiao is sure that this "main soul" is in the body of the member of the choir opposite.

After fighting to this extent, Su Xiao has discovered the key. Whether it is the Wolf Cavalry or the members of the Choir, their combat power is quite different from what they were in life, but there are just too many.

The more important point is that the collection of sins is more difficult to deal with than imagined. It has the ability to 'resurrect' a strong person with a broken soul every few minutes.

So far, Su Xiao has killed 16 wolf knights (incomplete combat form), 35 members of the Choir, and 11 great warriors from the age of gods.

Without the fire of sin, for Su Xiao, the collective of sins would be more difficult to deal with than the choir. In other words, at the end of the battle, he could only retreat with the [Wandering Bait].

The ability to 'resurrect' a strong person every few minutes is too difficult to deal with. In addition, the "main soul" of the sin collective can freely transfer among the strong people it "resurrects". What's even more terrible is that the sin karma

The fire cannot burn this "main soul" to death in a short time.

The long knife in Su Xiao's hand pierced the head of a great warrior. The great warrior was kicked until only his upper body was left, and the fire of sin ignited in his body.

He was seriously injured. In order to reduce the number of enemies as quickly as possible, he chose to trade injuries for kills several times to prevent the collection of sins from 'resurrecting' more strong men.

Su Xiaogang had just defeated the big warrior when a black semi-fluid spread all over the bodies of the members of the Choir opposite. This was caused by the "main soul" of the sin collective. It wanted to enter another form and kill the powerful enemy in this battle.

The black mud gushes out and turns into a half-human, half-animal form. The monster stands in a humanoid shape, but it has eight arms. Behind it are bone spurs that bend backwards. Painful faces appear all over the monster's body.

"ah!!"

The screams of a mixture of men, women, old and young spread. The sound was like tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more people screaming at the same time. This double attack of spirit + soul caused a double image of the world in front of Su Xiao.

He was not afraid of soul attacks, but it was still difficult for him to avoid mental attacks. If he had not been mentally strong enough as an alchemist, he would have been shocked to the point of bleeding from all seven holes.

'Blood smoke cannon.'

Bang!

After a blood smoke cannon, the collection of sins on the opposite side was shattered, but in the next moment, its broken body was pulled back by a black thread and healed back to its original appearance.

Seeing this, a bottle of [Honor Resurgence Potion] slipped out of his sleeves. Of course he could win this battle. With his ability restrained, even though he was seriously injured, he still had the chance to win. However, the sins were gathering at the moment.

The body has entered the second stage, and Su Xiao has to pay some price if he wants to win.

Just as Su Xiao was about to use the [Honor Revival Potion], the collective of sins across from him suddenly did something incredible.

The twisted monster-like collection of sins suddenly froze there. An old, withered arm protruded from the neck of the collection of sins and clawed into its mud-like head.

This completely froze the Sin Collective. Of course, Su Xiao would not miss this opportunity. After confirming in the shortest possible time that this was not a trap, he pounced in front of the Sin Collective.

The long sword was attached to the flame of sin, and it slashed diagonally across the body of the sin collective. With a roar, the sin flame slashed through the body of the sin collective, forming an arc-shaped slash of fire behind it, with embers flying.

After slashing out with one knife, the long knife then pierced the head of the collection of sinners from bottom to top.

With a pop, the sin collective knelt down, and its body began to turn into black mud. A dark red eye appeared on the black mud. The hatred and anger in this eye was so strong that it seemed to overflow.

[The collective of sins has entered the stage of extinction, and some of its abilities have been activated. 】

[Warning: You are about to be soul-strangled. This is a soul-based killing ability.]

[Soul strength is being determined...]

[The judgment is passed, you have been exempted from this soul killing.]

…

[Warning: You are about to be watched by all living beings, this is the will-based killing ability.]

[Willpower is being determined...]

[The judgment is passed, you have been exempted from this will kill.]

…

[Warning: You are about to be judged for your sins. This is a psychic killing ability.]

[Your sword master ability has exempted you from this judgment.]

[Tip: You did not die under the ability of the Sin Collective, and the Sin Collective's "Eat Death and Rebirth, Lv. EX" ability failed to activate, and it will not be able to be resurrected through your death.

【The collection of sins is about to dissipate.】

【You have passed the trial of sin.】

[Your soul strength is increased by 0 points (the hunter’s soul strength is too high and cannot be increased through this trial). 】

[Your willpower attribute +5 points.]

[Your mental strength +12 points.]

…

As the prompt ended, the black smoke that had been floating on Su Xiao's body dissipated. It can be said that after causing devastating damage to the collection of sins, the battle with the collection of sins has actually just begun. This is a triple battle of soul, mind, and will.

It was only a moment, but it was extremely dangerous.

The dragon-slaying flash nailed to the black mud was filled with the fire of sin, which caused the black mud to quickly reduce, and finally only a part was left, forming the upper body of a humanoid figure. Only the small half of the torso, left arm, and head were left in the humanoid form.

The blackness turned into dry ash.

Su Xiao pulled out the Dragon-Slaying Flash on the ground and came to the gray figure. She found that this person's appearance was 90% similar to the ghost old man.

The old ghost man, with only half of his upper body left, managed to open his eyes, and there was something different in his cloudy eyes.

"Destruction, it's not in vain for me to help you, you win."

The old ghost man let out a breathless laugh, and it was he who had just stretched out his arm from the neck of the collection of sins.

In fact, the ghost old man was also a big shot. In the age of gods, he was called a wanderer. He was a very powerful person, but he was good and bad. Until later, the world ushered in the invasion of death.

Later, the divine religion was no longer able to fight against the death silence, and it was determined that no matter what, it could not let the death silence continue to spread. Even if it came to an end, it could not let the transcendent realm that was once bathed in the glory of the gods be completely invaded by the death silence.

The strong men of that era had all experienced the invasion of the abyss, and few of them were afraid of death, so they decided to carry out a self-dimensional reduction attack on this world, and gave up detachment, letting the Void Tree notarize this place, and contain it through regular suppression.

As the deathly silence spreads, this is the only solution they can think of.

However, this decision was opposed by the steel manufacturer. He was at his peak and was unwilling to take this step.

Because of this, the Divine Cult teamed up with the Old Man Ghost to plot against the steel maker and trapped him in the ancient laboratory.

Although the Steel Maker was plotted, before he was trapped, he shattered the old ghost's body so that he could only exist in the world as a soul. Over time, the old ghost was assimilated by the collective of sins.

"Destruction, how are you outside the Deadly Silent City?"

The old ghost man spoke, and his remains began to gradually turn into ashes and float away.

"fine."
