Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

On the ruined street about one kilometer away from the two, Su Xiao was leading Bubuwang and Veroni towards the city center.

Under the gloomy sky, dilapidated buildings cast distorted shadows, and the air is filled with the smell of decay and danger.

Not long ago, Su Xiao encountered an old extreme cultivator.

This encounter made him realize that not all residents in the Dead City are mindless monsters - some still retain a bit of self-awareness.

These residents who still have some sanity left are often more dangerous than pure monsters. Dealing with them is like dancing on the edge of a knife. One could pay the price with one's life if one is not careful.

Just as Bubu Wang was cautiously exploring the way ahead, the old charlatan's map was finally delivered to Su Xiao.

He took a quick glance and confirmed the next route.

At this moment, Bubuwang suddenly stopped, turned back vigilantly and barked twice, with its nose twitching slightly - it smelled Lin Yi's scent!

But the aura of that strange little girl was also lingering nearby, and Lin Yi was most likely being hunted by her.

Hearing this, Su Xiao directly carried Veronica beside him on his shoulders, and then began to stride towards the direction where Lin Yi was.

The Dead Silence City is too dangerous. If something happens to Lin Yi, it will be almost impossible for him to complete the mission here by himself.

On the other side, after confirming the road to the central area, Lin Yi took Ataya and prepared to leave the area.

But when they reached the edge of the square, a black-armored soldier suddenly blocked their way.

The strength of his aura was comparable to Attaya's, or even slightly stronger, but he lacked the creepy weirdness of Attaya.

The source of this dangerous aura is the excessive erosion of the power of death and silence. The power of death and silence that this soldier has endured is so huge that his sanity has been almost completely devoured, and now he is only acting on his remaining instincts.

"Uncle Volian, is there anything wrong?" Ataya looked at the black-armored soldier who blocked her way, a look of confusion on her face.

As someone who has lived in the City of Death for hundreds of years, Attaya knows the residents here very well.

Although there are countless mad tree erosions wandering around the city, there are not many residents who still retain some consciousness.

Over the past few hundred years, Attaya has visited almost every corner of the Dead City - except for the central area that she has always deliberately avoided.

To her, this decaying city was as familiar as her own backyard, and she had met every neighbor.

"stranger."

The black-armored soldier completely ignored Ataya's presence and slowly turned his helmet towards Lin Yi.

After staring at Lin Yi for a long time in suffocating silence, the black-armored soldier suddenly asked, "What is the title of the new king of the empire?"

"The King of the Night." Although Lin Yi was confused, he still gave an answer.

He noticed that at the moment of answering, the dark red lines on the black-armored soldier's armor flickered slightly.

The black-armored soldier nodded stiffly, and the heavy armor made a harsh friction sound.

He stepped aside to make way, and pointed the rusty sword in his hand towards the city center: "Go."

This black-armored soldier is like a set guard program, which will trigger a certain recognition mechanism when it senses the breath of a living person.

Just as Lin Yi and Ataya disappeared at the end of the square, Su Xiao and his group arrived at the square right after them.

"Wang!"

Bubuwang called out to Su Xiao, signaling him to come over here.

Under the guidance of Bubu Wang, Su Xiao went straight through the square full of sculptures and prepared to leave along the path that Lin Yi had just left.

Just as Su Xiao was about to step out of the square, black-armored soldiers suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"Woman, how many suns are there?"

The black-armored guard stared at Veroni.

Veronie was stunned by this sudden question, but she quickly responded: "One."

While answering, Veroni quietly tightened the weapon at her waist.

"Extreme cultivators, how many stars do you have?"

This time the black-armored guard looked at Su Xiao. Obviously, the charm attribute showed an amazing effect at this time, although it was a debuff effect.

If ordinary people are just insignificant in the eyes of the black-armored soldiers, then Su Xiao's existence is like a criminal waving a flag with the word "heresy" written on it in front of him, madly challenging his bottom line.

Su Xiao leaped back and drew the long sword from his waist. He usually didn't waste time talking to the enemy unless he took action. Seeing this, Di Ya and Veronica immediately retreated to the side to block out any sounds and vibrations within a hundred meters around them.

Di Ya reacted very quickly, grabbing Veronica's wrist and quickly retreating.

Although she did not understand Su Xiao's fighting style, her rich experience told her that the wisest choice at the moment was to clear the battlefield for this killer.

"Those who do not follow God's will are heretics, and heretics must be sentenced to dismemberment."

"Heretics! Must be eliminated!"

Su Xiao stood there with a knife in his hand, but a trace of doubt flashed through his mind. Didn't Lin Yi encounter any obstruction when he passed by just now?

A strange grey smoke rose up from the black-armored guards' bodies, wrapping around the gaps in their armor like a living thing, and they slowly walked into the square full of sculptures.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Ataya, who were far away, also noticed the abnormality behind them.

Veronica did not activate her skills when the black-armored soldier asked questions just now, so Lin Yi also heard the answers from both sides.

This familiar way of asking questions, coupled with Su Xiao's catastrophic charm, made him understand the situation instantly.

Lin Yi's shoulders trembled slightly. He tried hard to keep an expressionless face, but he was already laughing inside.

Su Xiao's charm is truly unique in the world.

On the square, soldiers in black armor held two strangely shaped hook blades.

The hook blade is about one meter long, and the blade has an irregular twisted arc, like a sharp hook that has been bent by a huge force.

The inside of the hook blade flashes with a cold light, and the sharp edge is enough to tear flesh; the outside is covered with hideous barbs, which can not only entangle the enemy's weapon, but also cause terrible lacerations.

In the Samsara Paradise, there are not many people who dare to use this unpopular weapon.

Whenever they encounter such an opponent, most contractors will find it difficult to deal with it - because those who wield such unconventional weapons are either masters with superb skills or reckless men who are ignorant of the consequences.

The black-armored guard in front of him obviously belonged to the former. Although he was covered in armor, the heavy armor did not affect his movements at all.

"Basana (unknown language)."

The black-armored guard stretched out his arms and performed a peculiar sword salute that Su Xiao had never seen before.

The next second—

boom!
Stone chips flew everywhere, the ground exploded, and the figure of the black-armored guard disappeared from the spot, so fast that it almost left an afterimage on the retina.

Danger!

Su Xiao's intuition was instantly fully activated, and a sharp pain warning came from his neck.

Without hesitation, he leaned sideways and drew his sword, using the Dragon Slash to block the attack at the critical moment.

Dang Cang——!
The loud noise of metal colliding shook the square, and the violent shock wave spread in all directions, even the solid stone sculptures were shaken into spider-web-like cracks.

Su Xiao's feet sank slightly into the ground, and he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Blood slowly soaked through his clothes.

Click, click, click...

The blade rubs against each other and sparks fly.

Although Su Xiao accurately blocked the hook attack from the right, the strange twisted arc of the hook blade made it difficult to predict the trajectory of the attack.

This is not a straight chop, but a tricky curved hook with a downward arc. If you are not careful, you will be restrained by its unique structure.

At this moment, Lin Yi activated the halo, and Su Xiao felt that the pressure on the Dragon Flash in his hand suddenly eased, and the arm that was originally suppressed by the black-armored soldier instantly regained its strength.

The situation was reversed in an instant - the black-armored soldier who originally had the upper hand was now suppressed by Su Xiao!
Su Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to press forward and force his opponent to retreat.

However, the black-armored soldier's combat experience far exceeded expectations. Despite being at a disadvantage, he suddenly took a step forward, exerted force with both arms, and pushed the twisted hook blade forward fiercely!
Zhi——!
A sharp sound of metal friction was heard, and the blade of the Dragon Slash and the hook blade collided violently.

However, this strange C-shaped weapon is impossible to be completely blocked - its curvature allows it to always break through the defense from a tricky angle.

puff!

The sound of flesh being torn could be clearly heard, and the hook blade pierced through Su Xiao's left shoulder like a poisonous snake, and the cold tip of the blade with blood beads came out from behind.

If Su Xiao hadn't dodged with his amazing reaction at the last moment, the blow would have gone straight through his head!

What’s even more terrifying is that the outside of the hook blade is covered with barbs.

It was relatively smooth when inserted, but if it was pulled out forcibly - I'm afraid the entire shoulder blade would be pulled out along with the broken flesh and blood!
Click!

There was a crisp sound of metal biting, and the black-armored soldier took the opportunity to push forward with his other hooked blade, and the barbs on the back accurately caught the blade of the Dragon Slash.

The two strange weapons formed a fatal angle, locking Su Xiao's weapon tightly!

The two moves fought in a flash, seemingly simple but full of murderous intent. The severe pain from his shoulder made Su Xiao's mind clearer.

He knew very well that if he continued to be restrained by the barbed hook, the opponent would only need to maneuver for a moment before he would lose too much blood and die. He had to fight quickly!

The next second, the Dragon Slash suddenly made a crisp sound, and the entire long sword burst out with a dazzling blue light, but the black-armored guard not only did not retreat, but pulled back hard, intending to pull the hook blade out of Su Xiao's shoulder.

Su Xiao ignored him and kicked out with his right leg like a battle axe.

The blow infused with all his strength created a sonic boom in the air. The moment the military boots touched the black armor, the breastplate forged with fine steel dented and cracked!

The black-armored soldier flew backwards like a cannonball, and the hook blade broke away from Su Xiao's shoulder with broken bones and flesh.

Blood suddenly gushed out like a fountain, soaking half of the robe.

But Su Xiao's movements did not stop at all. Instead, he used the inertia of the other party's pulling to turn around.

"Zheng!"

The blade accurately slashed the joint of the black-armored soldier's arm holding the hook. The light blue blade light burst out, directly cutting off the entire arm armor along with the dry bones inside!
After landing, the black-armored guard took several leaps backwards. He just turned his head to look at his right arm which was broken at the elbow, and his eyes narrowed under the armor.

On Su Xiao's left shoulder, the hideous wound was like an open bloody mouth, and the white collarbone was faintly visible between the turned skin and flesh.

The most dangerous thing is that the laceration is only four or five centimeters away from the heart. If he had dodged half a second slower, it would probably be the heart that was pierced!
Su Xiao was looking at his shaking left arm, wondering whether he should just cut off the troublesome arm. At that moment, a ray of healing light fell on Su Xiao, and the wound on his left arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Yi put away the black and white rose in the shape of a staff in his hand. The distance between the two sides did not exceed the casting distance, so Lin Yi could cast healing spells on Su Xiao in the square even if he was standing on the street.

Su Xiao moved his wrist which had just recovered, and his knuckles made a slight cracking sound. The injury on his shoulder had completely healed, without even a trace of stagnation.

This is the advantage of Lin Yi as a nanny. If Su Xiao was the only one who suffered such serious injuries, then even if Su Xiao was able to kill the black-armored soldier, he would have to recuperate for a long time after the battle.

But now, with Lin Yi's protection, his fighting style can be more unbridled without having to worry about the risk of injury.

In a flash, Su Xiao's figure rushed into the enemy camp again.

On the square, sword lights crisscrossed like thunder, and the hook blades also cut out crescent-shaped blade edges.

boom!
Su Xiao flew backwards from the melee, adjusted his body in mid-air, landed heavily in a half-squatting position, and slid backwards for more than ten meters due to inertia before he barely stopped.

hum~
The sound of slashing came from Su Xiao's ear, and he immediately turned his head with all his strength, but even so, he still felt a stinging pain on his cheek, and a trace of blood appeared on his face.

A few dozen meters away from the battle group, Veroni was lying on a nearly ten-meter-high stone sculpture. She was trying to curl up into a ball and had no interest in watching the battle.

This level of battle had long been beyond her understanding - it was simply a fight between gods and the mortals suffering.

Now, the only thing she could do except hiding on the stone sculpture tremblingly was to pray silently in her heart, hoping that Su Xiao would win.

In the early stages of the battle, Su Xiao was indeed at a disadvantage.

The weapon of the black-armored soldier had a strange shape, and the attack angle was extremely tricky, which was completely inconsistent with the combat logic of conventional weapons. This made Su Xiao repeatedly fall into a passive position when blocking.

As the two sides fought for more than ten moves, the situation began to reverse quietly.

Su Xiao's almost beast-like fighting instinct came into play. He quickly adapted to the opponent's attack rhythm and gradually understood the black-armored soldiers' fighting tactics.

Once the novelty of the weapon is solved, what remains is purely a competition of skills and experience - and in this regard, the battle-hardened Su Xiao is obviously better.

Boom, boom, boom!

Three stone sculptures were shattered in succession. Su Xiao stood in the rubble, staring at the movement of the rubble in the square.

A cold light flashed, and the black-armored soldier wanted to pierce Su Xiao's heart with the hook blade, but before the opponent launched an attack, Su Xiao placed the Dragon Slash across his chest to block the opponent's attack.

pop~
After missing the attack, the black-armored soldier retreated immediately.

There was a slight sound of a piece of gravel falling to the ground, and a stone sculpture more than ten meters away suddenly exploded without any warning.

Something is wrong! The opponent's speed seems to have suddenly increased to a higher level.

No. It’s not that the other party is getting faster, but that your movements are getting slower!
After realizing this, Su Xiao stretched out his left hand and made a gesture to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi understood what Su Xiao wanted to express, and a purification spell fell on Su Xiao's head.

The moment the purification spell took effect, Su Xiao instantly felt a lot more relaxed, and the figure of the black-armored soldier that was originally difficult to track suddenly became clear.

If the speed of the black-armored soldier just now was like a high-speed train in Su Xiao's eyes, then the opponent's moving speed now was at most that of a human-powered bicycle.

After getting rid of the abnormal state of his body, Su Xiao took a deep breath, took a half step forward, and flipped the Dragon Slash in his hands. He held the knife with both hands, with the tip of the knife pointing to the ground.

It's time to end this fight.

Just as the black-armored soldier attacked again, the Dragon-Slaying Flash turned into a silver light and pierced straight into the ground.

The moment the blade sank into the stone slab, an invisible wave spread out with the blade as the center.

Boom!
Three sharp metal collision sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and dazzling sparks burst out in the air.

The cut marks appeared in an interlaced manner, cutting out a brief vacuum zone in the space.

The black-armored soldier stood still, his body trembling slightly under the armor.

Zheng!
The sharp sound of a sword resounded through the sky, and a giant blue slashing light with a diameter of nearly ten meters swept out diagonally!

Wherever the knife flashed, the ground of the square was torn into deep grooves by the aftermath.

The Zhan Mang flew straight into the distance without slowing down, neatly cutting off the spire of a tall building half a kilometer away, and finally disappeared into the clouds.

Jingle ~

Half of the broken hook blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

A thin line suddenly appeared on the black-armored soldier's throat, and sticky black blood gushed out.

He staggered to one knee, more black blood oozing out from the gaps in his armor.

With a swish, drops of black blood splattered and the body of the black-armored guard fell to the ground.

Su Xiao slowly sheathed the sword, and the friction between the blade and the sheath made a clear clanging sound.

He looked down at the corpse on the ground, his eyes slightly gloomy - the Dead Silence City was indeed a level 6 high-risk area, even a patrolling soldier almost took his life.

Although Su Xiao's comprehensive combat capability has not yet fully reached the standard of the sixth level, if only considering the attack power, his burst is definitely enough to enter the sixth level.

Epic high-strength weapons + grandmaster-level techniques. Even among the sixth-order contractors, there are not many who have such a combination. The only difference is the physical quality.

This disadvantage was completely compensated with the assistance of Lin Yi. Lin Yi could not only enhance Su Xiao's combat status through his own abilities, but also provide him with continuous treatment and energy recovery during fierce battles, greatly improving Su Xiao's endurance.

Even some of the BOSS-level characters in the Dead Silence City would be in trouble if they met the combination of Lin Yi and Su Xiao.

[You have assisted in killing Black Armor Volian.]

[You get an epic treasure chest (30%). ]

[You gain 0.8% of the source of darkness. ]

[Tip: The hunter obtains the Source of Darkness for the first time. This is a special reward for the Dead Silence City.]

[After the hunter obtains more than 5% of the source of darkness, he can go to the 'Sacrificial Altar' to perform a ceremony to enhance his existing talents. ]

[Tip: Talent abilities can only be upgraded after they have been awakened once. This upgrade will affect the strength of the talent after the second awakening.]

……

As Su Xiao killed the black-armored soldier, Lin Yi also received a notification from the Samsara Paradise.

The Dead Silence City is indeed a sixth-level high-risk area, where dangers and opportunities coexist.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao forced their way into this place at level five. The risks they took were certainly huge, but correspondingly, the rewards they gained were also far greater than those in an ordinary mission world.

After the battle, Su Xiao brought Bubu Wang to reunite with Veronica and Lin Yi.

After seeing Ataya beside Lin Yi, Su Xiao and Veronica fell silent at the same time.

They were a little confused as to why, after not seeing each other for a while, Lin Yi and Veronica became teammates. And seeing how Veronica was holding Lin Yi's hand, the relationship between the two was actually quite good. What happened when they left?
As if she had sensed Su Xiao's scrutiny, the aura around Attaya suddenly became dangerous.

On the surrounding streets, countless black hairs emerged and wriggled like living things, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Su Xiao's hand unconsciously placed on the hilt of the Zhanlongshan sword, and the blade was slightly unsheathed, with a cold light flashing.

The two men were on the verge of a war, with their swords drawn.

"Okay, stop it."

Lin Yi's voice broke the deadlock. Ataya pouted in dissatisfaction, but still obediently retracted her spreading hair.

Seeing that the other party was the first to show weakness, Su Xiao also loosened his hand holding the knife.

To be honest, Su Xiao didn't want to be an enemy of Attaya.

This guy's ability is a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the black-armored soldiers. If a fight really breaks out, even if I can kill him, I will definitely pay a heavy price.

In this dead silent city full of dangers, being seriously injured is tantamount to seeking death. (End of this chapter)
