Return

Pfft!

A pale-blue energy spike burst out through the Hero King's chest. It looked very similar to Shadow Thorn, except that the energy spike was more solid.

After the first energy spike pierced out of the Hero King's body, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction. One energy spike after another burst from his chest, abdomen, and even his skull.

In less than two seconds, the Hero King had become a "Hedgehog." His body toppled uncontrollably to the ground.

Su Xiao, covered in blood, rose to his feet and pulled Dragon Slayer Flash from the ground nearby. He sheathed Dragon Slayer Flash and walked toward the Hero King, leaving one bloody footprint after another.

If they had both been in peak condition and fought one-on-one, Su Xiao would not have been the Hero King's match. He had realized this after their first clash.

For that reason, he had done his best to avoid fighting the Hero King at his peak. Knowing he could not win and still challenging his opponent to a duel was not courage—it was stupidity.

Since he could not strengthen himself in a short period, he had to weaken his opponent. After successfully assassinating Yanfeng Qili, Su Xiao had successfully weakened the Hero King.

What happened afterward was a matter of luck. He had to see whether the Hero King would appear. If the other party did not show up, Su Xiao would take the initiative. If he truly could not find him, Su Xiao would not force the matter.

Even a weakened Hero King was difficult to deal with. The power of Ea, Sword of Rupture, had been plain for all to see. Without the armor formed by Counter Shield, Su Xiao would already have been shredded by those red sword winds. And that was the
