Chapter 957 The Traitor's Abilities (4K)

In an instant, a grinning mask appeared on Xia Shou's face, accompanied by red star-like lights, and glowing crimson hair fluttered behind his head.

The mask's appearance seemed no different from before, but the mask's expression became more lively. The sneer on the mask slowly changed, eventually becoming consistent with Xia Shou's expression behind the mask, with only a faint trace of satisfaction remaining at the corner of his mouth.

The Blood Demon's Satisfied Face!
The moment he put on the new mask, Xia Shou fully understood how the mask had changed, and what it meant that impurities had been removed and power had been fully integrated.

Blood droplets seeped from Xia Shou's body. The fine blood droplets were pulled away from the surface of his skin by an invisible force and gathered around him to become blood bullets the size of a finger.

Immediately afterwards, blood bullets shot out like sniper rifle bullets, heading straight for the man whose head was pixelated. His figure vanished instantly, and the dense blood droplets, like shotgun shells fired close to the ground, blasted a large hailstone onto the ice. Then, the red ice exploded, igniting an unnatural red flame.

This was originally the power of the Blood Terror Revolver, but now he no longer needs to construct the revolver with blood. Even without the physical firing platform of the revolver, he can launch the blood bullet directly with his thoughts, and the original speed limit is no longer a constraint.

It made him feel that the negative consequences were completely gone... No, it should be said that the consequences still exist, but he has gained the freedom to choose whether or not to bear them.

He can still prevent the blood bullet from exceeding the speed limit of 100m/s, but he can also choose not to pay the price and directly bypass this limit.

Similarly, he can choose not to construct the revolver, or he can choose to construct it and then hand it over to someone else, and he can also choose whether to incorporate those negative costs into the Blood Fear revolver that he lent to someone else.

That's how it is... If something is optional, it can no longer be called a cost, but rather a possibility, a free choice.

“I fully understand…” Xia Shou murmured, letting out a long breath as he spoke. When he personally experienced this change, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction from the power he had gained.

The traitor dodged the blood bullet attack, but Xia Shou didn't care. The emotion the mask gave him seemed to stimulate a certain "nerve" in Scorpion's spine, and a strange sense of pleasure began to spread like ink in clear water.

The fired blood bullets transformed into ice-like crystals, then burned into flames. The ruby ​​on the Night and Fire Scepter glowed faintly, and the burning flames turned into swirling blood, flowing around Summer Guardian under the pull of an invisible force.

Blood... almost no loss.

boom!
With a slight bang, Xia Shou's shoulder and half of his chest cavity were instantly turned into a bloody pulp, and shattered bone fragments were ejected in all directions due to the enormous impact.

"Soon," Xia Shou commented, his tone calm and composed. The sense of urgency he should have felt was suppressed by a stronger emotion. Even though the death line beneath his feet was always connected to his opponent, he didn't feel that death was related to him at all.

The destroyed physical body did not cause him any real harm; the surrounding blood flow rapidly filled the void in his body, creating new blood in his shoulder.

At this moment, Xia Shou finally understood why the previous [Pseudo-Blood Demon] had the word "pseudo" in it—it was because… his understanding of blood was still insufficient before.

But now, not only his own blood, he can now sense the blood around him, including the blood in the corpse of the EX anomaly that Sprite had killed, which wasn't even red.

Damn... this experience is so wonderful, it feels invincible!

Is this a taboo subject?
Have I touched upon the realm of God's origin?
Xia Shou's peripheral vision swept past the death trail beneath his feet, a trail that still reminded him of the vast difference in strength between them.

But this is already a meaningless and useless reference.

At this moment, one's own power cannot be analyzed or understood by "seeking one's own death".

Following the death line, Xia Shou's gaze re-locked on the traitor who had reappeared beside him. The blood flowing around him automatically divided into blood bullets, which then glowed and burst out!

Under extreme acceleration, the blood bullets transformed into elongated streams of blood that pierced the ground. Wherever the blood penetrated the ice, sharp, flower-like red ice blossoms bloomed, instantly transforming into burning crimson flames. In the blink of an eye, the flames turned back into blood, flowing back towards Xia Shou.

But it missed; the opponent's movements were incredibly fast!

Can't see clearly...

Even when a scorpion is at its most active, it still cannot make its optic nerves or any other senses perceive changes in the other.

Just as Xia Shou had this thought, another part of his body was hit by a huge shock, but this time he was prepared and had a new feeling.

He could feel that his body wasn't hit, but rather exploded instantly... or rather, it suddenly became like a wounded person.

When a bullet hits a human body, even though it travels at high speed, if a person's reaction nerves and physical perception are fast enough, they can clearly feel the bullet breaking through the skin, passing through the muscles, spinning, creating a cavity effect, and shattering. However, Xia Shou did not feel any damage occurring during either of these two attacks.

His reaction speed is beyond the limits of ordinary people. How fast would the other party have to be for him to feel that he was not injured?
Each time, Xia Shou tried to launch [Survival Strike], but he never succeeded. This proved that the opponent's speed was so fast that the attack was already over by the time he even had the thought.

This is happening so fast; it's completely abnormal.

But it doesn't matter.

So what if he's fast? This kind of attack can't do any damage to him at all.

But something feels off... The death line he drew was so vivid; he must be more than that, right? If he doesn't even have the ability to break through the bloodline, then he should be classified as completely harmless.

Even if the deadline is only for reference, such a large error should not exist.

The traitor's figure flickered around, appearing and disappearing immediately after each appearance. Then, Xia Shou's body would be attacked, and the damage would skip the initial steps and occur instantly.

But there is no doubt that the opponent must show themselves in the surrounding area before launching an attack.

"Then, under the premise of continuously activating the [Perpetual Injury] ability, let's use blood bullets to saturate the opponent," Xia Shou thought.

Xia Shou thought he was just fighting a very routine battle, but to other onlookers, what they saw was a brutal scene far exceeding that of a battlefield with firearms.

In the center of the vast ice field, on the head of a humanoid figure whose body had half turned into blood, clumps of blood converged, and dozens of water-saw-like jets swept across the ice surface within a range of hundreds of meters. The ice surface was pried up by the enormous cutting force, and crimson blood spikes grew out layer upon layer like a bamboo forest, turning into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye, and then the sea of ​​fire turned into blood, and the blood flowed back to the top of Xia Shou's head.

That didn't look like a battle at all; it was more like someone had lost their mind and was indiscriminately attacking everything around them.

Thousands of meters away, Su Weiyu stood on the rooftop watching this scene, her heart pounding in her chest.

She wasn't sure if she should go over there, because Xia Shou's plan for her to stay here was to find an opportunity to ambush Sprite.

Her position was more than 5,000 meters away from the battlefield, so even if Sprite's fighting spirit collapsed, it wouldn't affect her. She had a mirror in her hand, which Xia Shou had enhanced with the [Mirror Demon's Information Scissors]. As long as Xia Shou created a suitable space on the other side, she could directly reach out and touch the enemy, immediately activating [Killing with Injury].

But the one fighting Natsumori now is not Sprite, and Natsumori doesn't seem to have any intention of using mirror magic.

The mirror magic trick only lasts for ten minutes.

Moreover... she had never seen Xia Shou like this before.

Xia Shou's fighting style has always been calm and methodical, with every action purposeful. But at this moment, although Xia Shou's attacks displayed overwhelming power, they were ineffective, merely altering the terrain.

Su Weiyu couldn't tell whether this was part of Xia Shou's plan or whether he was simply being less rational for some reason.

Moreover, this newly appeared enemy gave Su Weiyu a very familiar feeling; its ferocious and swift fighting style seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
"Oh! That move was from that blond guy!!" Su Weiyu suddenly realized.

The technique that person is using now, isn't it the same superpower of the orange-haired man who fought Ire?
The attack seemed to be completed in an instant, and the results of the attack appeared in an instant as well. It was a terrifying superpower that was extremely difficult to understand!

How can this superpower be countered?
Use your brain! Get your brain working, Su Weiyu!

Su Weiyu desperately tried to recall the details of that battle, attempting to understand the underlying logic of this superpower.

Suddenly, Su Weiyu's eyes lit up; she seemed to understand something!
……

……

Xia Shou was thinking.

While indiscriminately attacking its surroundings, it also constantly suffers ineffective attacks from traitors.

From the start of the battle until now, the traitor has not said a word except for the initial greeting. The other side has been attacking him silently and continuously, like a heartless killer who has no desire to communicate with him except to kill him.

Xia Shou had no complaints about this.

To be honest, even if this traitor did say something to him, he probably wouldn't be able to respond. Although he and the traitor had an inseparable relationship, he no longer had his previous memories, so it would be impossible for him to unravel the cause and effect.

There's only one thing they can solve.

That is life and death.

It's a matter of life and death, I live and you die, nothing more.

The [Perpetual Shared Damage] buff, which remained active, still did not cause any harm to the traitor; the buff on him did not transfer to the traitor at all.

There are two possibilities, but Xia Shou cannot determine which one it is.

Just then, a sharp piece of ice slid across his liquid shoulder.

The ice block flew at a speed similar to a bullet, but its damage was almost zero. When it glided past the body at such a speed, Xia Shou had enough time to activate [Hit and Strike].

This attack... is to help him!

[Survived Strike] was successfully activated once.

Yes, it was activated, but Xia Shou's spatial position did not change.

Even without locking onto a target, as long as there is a suitable living being within 50 meters of the ability, it will automatically switch targets, but in the end, there was none.

Is the other person's level higher than yours?
As he was thinking, a second piece of ice flew over and grazed Xia Shou's shoulder again!

Xia Shou glanced in the direction the ice block came from and saw that Su Weiyu had arrived on the frozen lake at some point and was watching from a distance.

The ice cubes from earlier, were they thrown over by Wei Yu?

As the second piece of ice grazed Xia Shoudui's shoulder, his abdomen exploded, and his shattered internal organs flew out.

The second [Strike and Strike] was activated, and in an instant, his spatial position changed!

The traitor appeared where he had just stood, while Xia Shouze appeared not far away on the other side.

"It's been converted?"

Even Xia Shou was a little surprised that he had actually managed to switch places with the other party.

Doesn't that mean the other person's level isn't higher than his?
"Boss, can't you just die willingly? You're so hard to kill!" the traitor sneered. "I've already put in so much effort, don't let me down!"

"Get moving! Get moving!!" Su Weiyu shouted at the top of her lungs from afar.

Xia Shou immediately sprang into action, while Su Weiyu, who was in the distance, also used Instant Step to escape to a greater distance.

A second passed, and the traitor did not appear.

As Xia Shou finished his first Shunpo, his super-fast figure briefly appeared in the air, but before he could even stop, he immediately blurred again, having performed a Shunpo within a Shunpo!

In Blood Demon Mode, he can use the special ankles and leg bones of a certain creature to perform the incredible Instant Step technique!

At the end of the second, the vanished traitor finally reappeared in the air. The instant he appeared, a very obvious human-shaped gap appeared in the blood droplets floating in the air, and a fairly clear movement trajectory also appeared on the ice surface!
This time, however, Xia Shou was not attacked at all!

"I see!!" Xia Shou's lips slowly curled upwards on his mask. "I know your abilities now!"

The pixelated face turned towards Xia Shou, but because it was pixelated, the expression was not visible.

He said in a very meaningful tone, "Unfortunately, it's over, boss."

You're already dead... Now it's just a question of whether I'll live or die.

Xia Shou frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

The result of his self-destructive act was indeed that the other party possessed overwhelming power, so his earlier statement might not have been a mere bluff.

But Xia Shou couldn't stop his offensive; killing his opponent was a must!
Moreover, the opponent's abnormal level was unexpectedly low. Even before he reached the pinnacle, he was able to use [Striking Flash Kill] on him, which means that the opponent's level was the same as his Scorpion Spine after exceeding the limit, or even lower!

In that case, we can use the intelligence scissors directly to inflict unavoidable damage and destruction on the traitors!
Xia Shou once again integrated all the information in his mind and deduced the approximate abilities of the other party.

"Your ability is..."
