Sizzle~
The Boundary Severing Thread tightened, but it had wrapped around each of the exoskeletons. At this moment, the Nine-Eyed Ghost looked like a porcupine, with bone after bone growing from the bones of its faceplate and protecting it like a cage.
The Nine-Eyed Ghost took a deep breath. Its head tilted back, and as it exhaled, bone spikes shot out through the vents in its faceplate.
Bang!
Several explosive bursts merged into one sound. Eight bone spikes instantly flew toward Su Xiao. They had clearly been coated with poison—a biological toxin. It was not fatal, but even Su Xiao, with his constitution, would be paralyzed for several minutes if he took them head-on.
At that instant, Su Xiao's right hand closed around his sword hilt.
Clang!
The long blade let out a crisp ring. Shattered bones flew everywhere as sheets of Blade Glow slashed toward the Nine-Eyed Ghost. Its prized exoskeleton was severed in an instant, and crisscrossing cuts appeared across its body. It was now clear that Su Xiao, who could fight a Twelve-Eyed Ghost, would make short work of this Nine-Eyed Ghost with his blade.
Splurt.
Blood sprayed. Su Xiao instinctively swung his blade toward the Nine-Eyed Ghost's throat. All of the Nine-Eyed Ghost's eyes widened. Something called death was now so close to it.
The long blade stopped immediately after being swung. Su Xiao had simply been unable to hold back. When the Nine-Eyed Ghost spat bone spikes at him, he had instinctively drawn his blade to meet the attack. If he continued the slash, the Ghost's chances of surviving would be extremely low. Blue Steel Shadow energy was no joke—it dealt true damage that ignored defenses.
Su Xiao sheathed his long blade, took two steps forward, and drove a fist into the Nine-Eyed Ghost's neck.
