Black-flame arrows pierced the air, leaving waves of force in their wake. In an instant, they reached Su Xiao, about to pierce his skull.
Boom!
The rubble beneath Su Xiao's feet flew in all directions, and his speed recovered.
Here it comes! That speed is ridiculous!
The thought had just appeared in Xiuge's mind when Su Xiao appeared before him. The long blade in his hand seemed to cleave through space as it slashed toward Xiuge's neck.
To be honest, Xiuge was somewhat used to attacks aimed at that spot. His opponent either slashed at his neck or his skull. The gentlest target he chose was the heart.
Clang!
The crisp clash of metal rang deafeningly. Xiuge gripped his sword hilt with both hands and pushed forward with all his might.
Behind Xiuge, the five-meter-tall black-flame giant drew its bow and fired. The black-flame arrow shot straight toward Su Xiao's chest.
The moment the arrow flew toward him, Su Xiao raised a hand to block it. Seeing this, Xiuge was somewhat incredulous. His enemy seemed to be... looking down on him.
Crack!
Su Xiao's left forearm shattered, crystal fragments scattering everywhere. the Black King Armguard flew up, and its durability plunged by a large margin.
Of course, Su Xiao would not use his flesh to withstand the black-flame arrows. He had experienced just how troublesome those flames were more than once or twice.
The crystal forearm re-formed, and Banishment merged into it.
"Blade Dao Saber—Time."
The impact spread, slowing Xiuge down. The second black-flame arrow flying from behind him slowed as well.
"Blade Dao Saber—Absolute Nether."
The world before Xiuge's eyes abruptly turned pitch-black. All that remained in his vision were three slash marks—slash marks surging straight toward him.
Blood sprayed from Xiuge's chest and neck as he flew backward
