Cold sweat trickled down Su Xiao's forehead. The warning he just received was truly nerve-wracking. In the Reincarnation Paradise, there was actually a skill called "Execution."
The girl named Ye Zi was hiding in the distance, not just because she was a healer, but also to prepare for this strike.
When the shining cross fell, the blinding golden light made everyone instinctively close their eyes.
Three seconds later, as the golden light faded a bit, Hei Bai, who was observing from a high point through a sniper scope, couldn't help but feel tense.
Ye Zi collapsed to the ground, her face pale and her lips trembling.
"Wh-why is there no kill notification?"
Sitting on the ground, Ye Zi's eyes were filled with disbelief.
As the light dimmed, Su Xiao struggled to stand. A wisp of green smoke rose from his body.
He had a fist-sized wound in his lower abdomen, and if he leaned close to it, he could even see through to the other side.
His upper body was covered in blood, with droplets falling from his chin, yet Su Xiao was smiling.
In his hand, he was holding a woman by her hair—the queen, who was now in front of him.
To be fair, the queen was quite beautiful, but that didn't matter to Su Xiao.
The queen and her two teammates had ambushed him for no reason.
Since they were enemies, it was better to eliminate them completely.
Su Xiao pulled out a vial of medicine, the "XT-12 Life Vitality Potion," which could restore 15% of his health and quickly heal injuries.
After biting off the cork, he drank it all in one go.
The potion was a bit bitter and astringent, with a pungent smell.
Two seconds after drinking the "XT-12 Life Vitality Potion," his body reacted, and the terrifying wound in his lower abdomen showed signs of healing.
The high price of the "XT-12 Life Vitality Potion" was not just for the 15% health restoration, but also because it could quickly heal injuries. As long as it wasn't a severed limb, the potion could help.
Holding the queen, she felt like a rag doll, her armor damaged in many places, her body limp. If he hadn't been holding her, she would have likely collapsed.
"Now that I have one of your people, let's talk."
Su Xiao shouted, his eyes glinting coldly.
"We can negotiate. I can use equipment and paradise coins to buy back the queen's life."
Hei Bai shouted from the rooftop in the distance.
Su Xiao lowered his gaze and swung his knife, severing the queen's remaining arm.
"If you say one more word, I'll take off a piece of her until she dies."
Su Xiao's voice was devoid of emotion.
"What should we do, Hei Bai?"
Ye Zi struggled to stand, caught in a dilemma.
After a moment of hesitation, Hei Bai said, "The queen saved my life, I must rescue her."
With that, Hei Bai vanished from the rooftop's edge, seemingly rushing towards Su Xiao.
Soon, Hei Bai and Ye Zi stood side by side in front of Su Xiao.
"Looks like she means a lot to both of you?"
Just as Hei Bai was about to speak, she noticed the smile creeping onto Su Xiao's lips.
"You...!"
Before Hei Bai could finish her sentence, Su Xiao released the queen's hair, holding his knife with both hands, and swiftly severed her neck.
A beautiful head flew into the air, and Ye Zi stared blankly at it.
"You bastard! I will definitely kill you!"
Hei Bai let out a hoarse roar, aiming her sniper rifle at Su Xiao, but she was too close.
Negotiation? That was never an option. Su Xiao's plan from the start was to use the queen to lure Hei Bai and Ye Zi closer.
He was heavily injured, and only in close combat did he have a chance of winning.
Su Xiao charged two steps towards Hei Bai, his long knife crackling with faint blue electricity.
"Clang."
Su Xiao struck Hei Bai's gun with his knife. Hei Bai was strong and agile, able to withstand the recoil of the gun, and her agility boosted her ranged weapon skills, increasing her reaction speed.
A deep gash appeared on the gun, and with the damage to its critical parts, it was now unusable.
Su Xiao did this on purpose; losing her gun would reduce Hei Bai's combat effectiveness by at least fifty percent.
Hei Bai snorted coldly, abandoning her gun. She pulled out two pistols, one black and one white, each with a barrel about thirty centimeters long.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Hei Bai fired the two pistols at a rapid pace, like a submachine gun.
The dense bullets rained down towards Su Xiao. If he got hit, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
Once the sniper bullets were fired, Su Xiao couldn't dodge, but the bullets from the pistols were different.
Su Xiao's pupils instantly narrowed, and his vision sharpened to the max.
The muscles in his right arm bulged as he swung his knife, slicing through two bullets, creating a path through the barrage.
"Thud, thud."
The sound of bullets hitting flesh echoed as Su Xiao was hit three times, in his left arm and right chest.
But it was all worth it; he had closed the distance to Hei Bai.
Without mercy, Su Xiao swung his knife, severing Hei Bai's arm—the one holding the white pistol.
The faint blue electricity, the special energy of the "Blue Steel Shadow," surged into Hei Bai's body.
The intense pain made Hei Bai grit her teeth.
"Thud."
With another strike, Su Xiao cut off her other arm.
"Thud."
The Dragon Slashing Blade pierced through Hei Bai's ample chest, deeply embedding itself in her heart, and her health bar quickly emptied.
After receiving a fatal wound, health points no longer mattered; the Reincarnation Paradise only provided semi-data, and once a fatal injury was sustained, it didn't matter how much health was left, death was inevitable.
"The Bi'an Flower Adventure Team will not let you go!"
With that, Hei Bai's head drooped, losing all signs of life.
The Bi'an Flower Adventure Team? He hadn't heard of them, and even if he had, he wouldn't hold back.
Shaking his head, Su Xiao turned his attention to the only surviving enemy, the healer named Ye Zi.
A healer with no mana left was completely at Su Xiao's mercy.
"N-no, don't come closer."
Seeing Su Xiao approach, Ye Zi stumbled back and fell to the ground.
"Heh."
Su Xiao let out a cold laugh, slowly advancing towards Ye Zi.
The three of them had surrounded him before, and while Ye Zi was healing, the queen had never heard a word of it; now, what good was begging for mercy?
As an enemy, she had to die. Those who showed mercy would not survive in the Reincarnation Paradise.
Moreover, women who could thrive in the Reincarnation Paradise were not just pretty faces; they were all dangerous and crafty, requiring careful handling.
Only the dead enemies were good enemies.
Su Xiao was risking his life; he had his own goals, and anyone who stood in his way would be cut down.
Su Xiao stood silently in front of Ye Zi. Aside from necessary taunts during battle, he rarely wasted words.
Ye Zi was terrified, tears streaming down her face.
That's how humans are; they can be very vicious when hurting others, but when they are the ones in danger, they become timid.
"I'll give you everything I have..."
As the long knife cut through flesh, Ye Zi fell. This healer was surprisingly fragile.
After eliminating all his enemies, Su Xiao collapsed onto the ground.
He could have extorted Ye Zi before killing her, but there were many strange skills in the Reincarnation Paradise, and the "Execution" skill Ye Zi had used made him wary. Who knew if she was just pretending to be weak, waiting for her mana to recover to deliver a fatal blow?
Su Xiao considered himself a greedy person, but he knew when to be greedy.
Lying on the cold road, Su Xiao burst into laughter.
This battle could only be described as brutal; the powerful ranged attacks, the main tank, and the healer's cooperation had brought him to the brink of death several times.
But in the end, he emerged victorious.
By the way, I want to mention something. I haven't forgotten about the extra updates for rewards and the updates owed from this book. As for the specific numbers, I'm a bit scared to say; the amount is a bit terrifying. I hope I won’t die from shock~. Anyway, once it goes live, I’ll start cranking out updates like crazy. As for cross-dressing~~, orcs will never be slaves!!!
