Chapter Twelve: The Old Monster

Deep world, inside the Wadi family sacrificial hall.

The entire sacrificial hall is about seven meters high, with velvet tentacles hanging from the top, giving this solemn scene a somewhat dirty and eerie feel.

On the stone seat at the innermost side of the sacrificial hall, the first generation head of the Wadi family, Wadi Treach, sat here. This old monster seemed to be smiling, but his completely gray-black eyes and eyes made people feel uneasy.

Terrified.

This old monster gave the impression that he was no longer human. His aura was obviously lifeless, but it did not convey a sense of twilight.

"So, you are the one chosen by the two of them? Those two from the church haven't given up yet."

The old monster seemed to be smiling, but his smile fully reflected the expression "smiling but not smiling".

"Are you here because of the orders of my two old friends? Or are you here to fight for eternal life with me?"

While the old monster was speaking, an eye suddenly opened on his face. The eyes of this eye were desperate and the pupils were trembling. He obviously had an independent consciousness. If there is anyone here who is familiar with the contemporary head of the Wadi family, Wadi Lifaq, they must be

He was shocked in his heart, because the owner of these eyes was none other than Wadi Lifaq, and there was no one else with those special pupils in the entire high-walled city.

The old monster calmly raised his hand, dug out the eyeballs that had grown on his face, and put them in his mouth to chew.

"..."

Su Xiao said nothing. He came here not because of the Archbishop and the Holy Priest, nor to win any eternal life. In other words, his attitude towards eternal life has always been that he does not care. In a limited life, he pursues unlimited things.

Maybe, that's what makes it wonderful.

The purpose of Su Xiao's coming here is very simple. He adheres to the fine tradition of the Shadow of Destruction, either not to offend the enemy, but once he becomes hostile, he will destroy them all.

For some reason, Su Xiao felt slightly familiar after seeing this old monster. The indescribable fluctuations on his body were somewhat similar to those of the Archbishop and the Holy Priest.

In other words, the special aura of the old monster is very turbid, not as pure as the Archbishop and the Holy Priest.

This made Su Xiao couldn't help but wonder whether this old monster was from the same era as the Archbishop and the Holy Priest.

But this is just a conjecture. Su Xiao has not forgotten that the introduction to this world shows that Wadi Trachy was born in the 147th year of the Wall Era, and later established the Wadi Merchant Alliance.

The reason why Su Xiao guessed that this old monster was from the same era as the Archbishop and the Holy Priest was not only because of the unique aura fluctuations, but also because he suspected that this old monster was Wadi Traci, but he was not.

Assuming that this old monster lived in the Age of Gods to the Wall Era, then it is entirely possible that he took away the body and soul of Wadi Trachy, devoured his consciousness, and replaced him, becoming the new Wadi Trachy.

In this case, the introduction to the world makes sense. Wadi Trachy, who was born in the 147th year of the Wall Era, was a normal person. Until he reached adulthood and middle age, he was still an ordinary person with a very business-minded mind.

He formed a business alliance in the High Wall City, and then was approached by the old monster.

It is currently unknown what the old monster's true identity is, because the other party's situation at this time is very special. Not long after he took the immortality from the Lady of Pain, the information that led to the Eye of the Gods' detection was a bunch of information, except for his name.

Incomprehensible confusing symbols, this was the first time Su Xiao encountered this situation.

Without delving into the identity of the old monster for the time being, Su Xiao suspected that this old monster came from the age of gods. There was another reason.

On the 12th floor of the cathedral, there are a total of five stone seats. Each of the five stone seats has a symbol on the back. The archbishop's rock chair has the "Hunting Mark" on the back, the holy priest has the "Moon Mark", and the rest

Three, representing "Infinite Snake", "Ten Thousand Insects" and "Steel Heart" respectively.

Hunter, Moon, Snake, Insect, and Steel, these are obviously the five great figures in the age of gods. Among them, the Archbishop and the Holy Priest can survive to this day, why can't others?

At this moment, on the back of the rock chair behind the old monster, a mark representing "Ten Thousand Insects" was clearly engraved there. This was the main reason why Su Xiao suspected that the old monster came from the age of gods.

In other words, it was these five people who built the high-walled city. Among the five, Hunter (Archbishop) and Moon (Holy Priest) jointly established the Healing Church.

Wan Zhong (old monster) captured the Wadi family, the remaining infinite snakes and steel. This makes it even more obvious that the representative of steel must be the first generation leader of the Steam Cult.

The last Infinite Snake, don't you even think about it? The only one left among the four major forces is the High Wall Council. There is a high probability that this man single-handedly created the High Wall Council.

From this point of view, the five owners of the five stone seats have run through the entire history of the Wall Era. No, they themselves are part of history. The level of records of the history within the wall is not as long as their lives. Some history books have not been able to record it.

They have personally experienced all the major events recorded.

Assuming that it is possible that these five people all have a certain connection with the eternal God, then it is not surprising that they can live to this day through this.

When Su Xiao met the archbishop before, she clearly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the other party. The feeling of twilight could be felt even if she didn't let go of her perception.

Not only the archbishop, but also the holy priest was in a similar situation. When the other party gave Su Xiao the bag of ancient gold coins, he said personally: 'I don't think I will have a good life for a long time, so I will give you an advantage.'

Following this line of thinking, it became immediately clear that the five people in the Age of Spirits had a nearly immortal physique due to their connection with the Eternal God.

But not long ago, something went wrong with the God of Eternal Life, which directly affected the five people in the Age of Gods. They all lost their immortality and were about to reach the end of their lives.

Both the Archbishop and the Holy Priest chose to accept that they no longer coveted anything in this world and were ready for eternal sleep. For both of them, this was a kind of relief.

The old monster was different. His obsession with life and immortality was so frightening that after losing the eternal life he received from the God of Eternal Life, he began to think of a way.

This old monster's plan is to use this special day to steal a small part of the eternal god's divine power on the day of the God's Festival, and then use this divine power to attract beings with the same characteristics.

The old monster succeeded, and the Daughter of Pain with an immortal body was attracted, while Xiao Huahua, the sheep-headed devil, and the messenger from heaven were all unexpected 'bonus gifts'.

In fact, the old monster has only two goals, 1. The Daughter of Pain, to take away his immortality, and 2. The Dark Walker, to let this existence corrupt all the blood of the Wadi family.

The old monster's second goal was the first to succeed. Over the years, other members of the Wadi family have long felt that something was wrong, and they tried their best to hide the old monster from the secret inheritance from generation to generation and secretly cultivated a team of hunters outside.

This hunter team has only one goal, which is to kill the old monster and let the Wadi family break free from their shackles. Unfortunately, the old monster has known this for a long time, so he summoned the Dark Walker and made a deal with the Dark Walker to let the Dark Walker follow

Bloodline is the guide, burning the souls of everyone in the Wadi family.

After the demise of the Wadi family, the hunter team naturally became eyeless beasts, posing no threat to the old monsters.

The Dark Walker succeeded, but before he could get the reward from the old monster, the "Sun Pillar" fell on his head, and this terrifying being was burned into a gaseous state on the spot.

The current situation is that the old monster has not only solved the hidden dangers, but also gained eternal life. He is a typical winner. However, something unexpected happens. The old monster has just become the winner, and a law extinguisher comes to visit.

The old monster was still sitting on the stone chair dozens of meters away and did not take action rashly. He had lived from the age of gods to the present. When he first saw Su Xiao, he felt something was wrong in his heart. He seemed to have seen people with similar auras, but

It's been too long, and some of the relevant memories have been eroded by time and become blurry.

A silver knife made of energy appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He used it to separate his palm. There was no blood splashing, but scattered moonlight. "Moon Oath" + "Moon Blade" +

"Spiritual Blade" has three temporary buffs simultaneously.

Seeing Su Xiao's hand on the handle of the knife, the smiling old monster suddenly turned cold, turned around, and smiled again.

"It's been a long time since I've used the insect sword."

The old monster raised his hand, and with a click, the sword hilt popped out of the armrest of the stone chair. As he stood up, he drew out a sharp white sword.

hiss!!

The burning sound came from the old monster's hand. The Holy Insect Sword that had been with him for many years, and even went to the Source of Dead Silence City with him, was now corroding him.

The old monster seemed stunned for a moment, then accepted it all. He let go of the Holy Insect Sword in his hand and kicked it to the side. The Holy Insect Sword pierced the wall with a clang, leaving only the hilt exposed.

, perhaps from the perspective of this holy sword, its owner has long been dead, and died in the tragic defeat deep into the Silent City.

Click~

A 1.2-meter-long black pointed awl popped out from the armrest of the stone chair on the left side of the old monster. He grasped the handle and pulled it out. He used the "Holy Insect Sword" in his right hand and the "Dark Insect Cone" in his left hand. At the moment, only the "Dark Insect Cone" was left.

Worm cone".

To deal with this old monster, Su Xiao would certainly not underestimate the enemy. He had clearly sensed the strength of the holy priest before. If this old monster and the holy priest were strong men of the same era, even if the strength of the two sides was not between equals, they would not be the same.

It will be much weaker.

Zheng~

After unsheathing the long sword and entering this world, Su Xiao had not yet fought with all his strength. The last confrontation with the Dragon God was too hasty, and the Duke did not fight him at all.

Su Xiao's eyes showed light blue, which was a sign of switching the soul-breaking shadow ability to "Rapid Soul Core". Rapid Soul Core + the title of Shadow of the Abyss made his speed reach the highest peak in history.

With a bang, the slate floor under Su Xiao's feet cracked, and he suddenly disappeared on the spot. On the path between him and the old monster, a splash of gravel flew out, and he pounced in front of the old monster.

when!!

The long knife slashed at the worm cone with great force, which made the old monster's expression change slightly. He originally thought that Su Xiao was a speed type, but after a fight, he found that he was not.

Zila~

The long knife slashed downwards, plowing out sparks on the dark insect cone, then turned and the blade sank into the old monster's shoulder.

At this moment, Su Xiao's soul energy exploded, switching from "Rapid Soul Core" to "Soul Killing Soul Core". Since the body is immortal, then the soul will be killed.

Poof!

The long knife cut open the old monster's shoulder, slashed diagonally down the shoulder, and cut out at the waist on the other side. The old monster was chopped into two pieces.

The upper body of the old monster flew backwards, blood splattered everywhere. He seemed to be shocked by Su Xiao's soul-killing ability. He did not expect that Su Xiao could kill souls with sword skills under the restriction of the upper limit of combat power in this world.

In fact, the old monster misunderstood. It is true that Su Xiao's sword skills can hurt souls, but it cannot reach the level of killing souls. It is because of his ability to cut off soul shadows that he has reached this step.

Don't forget that even after your sword skills reach a certain level, you can also slay souls. When the time comes, the combination of sword skills and shadow soul slaying will be superimposed. Green Gillian said that he is very happy about it.

The old monster's expression became serious as the long knife dragged large blood beads through it, and his upper body flew backwards. After fighting with Su Xiao, some of his memories that had been eroded by the years suddenly became clear.

"Destroy the law!"

The old monster's gaze suddenly became fierce, and his whole body exploded into black-red blood. The blood formed sharp cones covered with barbs and attacked Su Xiao.

Facing the evil wind, Su Xiao's pupils tightened a little, and his senses were warning frantically. This move seemed like nothing, but in fact it was probably one of the old monster's trump cards. This guy was also a practical guy, as long as he had strong abilities, he didn't care whether it was gorgeous or not.

Looking at mighty and so on.

Su Xiao enters the space penetration state. After Dragon Shadow Flash is upgraded to Lv. EX, he can maintain space penetration for 0.2 to 3 seconds. During this period, he can not only avoid physical and energy attacks, but also mental and soul attacks, cough

~, the time when he was beaten out by the old knight does not count.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of blood spikes made a sonic boom sound, passing through every part of Su Xiao's body. The next moment, black and red blood gathered together and transformed into an old monster holding a dark bug cone.

The old monster just appeared, and the insect cone in his hand came straight to Su Xiao's neck.

when!

The long knife was blocked, and Su Xiao felt a huge force from the knife to his hands. The old monster was hiding just now, and the power that the opponent unleashed at this moment was so tyrannical and shocking.

boom!

Su Xiao fell to the ground in a half-crouched position, and the gravel beneath his feet was plowed everywhere. When he stopped, he straightened up as usual.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock~

Blood dripped down Su Xiao's left hand. He unbuttoned [Night of the Wild Hunt] and let his long windbreaker fall down, blocking his legs.

Shirtless and behind her back, Su Xiao looked at her left arm. Centipede-like red and black insects were clinging to it, surging with blood, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She could only feel a little cold.

With a snap, crystal fragments blasted out from the wound on Su Xiao's left arm, sending the centipede insects clinging to it flying. The old monster was very strong. Just now, Su Xiao lost 2.73% of his health.

Insect bites in such a small area have such damage intensity. If the area is large, Su Xiao's health will drop like running water.

The expression of the old monster opposite was obviously serious. Su Xiao felt that his ability to kill enemies was strong, but he wondered whether Su Xiao had a human physique. If so, this physique was too strong to withstand the bites of his filthy insects.

Just like a normal person, the energy of the body materialized and exploded.

'Bendō Sword Aouki.'

Zheng!

The cyan slashing light tore through the air. Due to the occasional embarrassing performance of the Green Ghost, Su Xiao regarded it as a charging technique. After cutting out the Blue Ghost, he rushed towards the old monster.

Bang!

The dark bug cone in the old monster's hand defeated the green ghost, which made the old monster pause for a moment, thinking that there would be some follow-up to the green ghost, but there was no follow-up.

‘Bendō Sword·Ryu.’

Elegant wind marks cut through the air, making a crisp sound. Due to being misled by the green ghost, the old monster only had time to lower his head, causing half of his head to be chopped off.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The long knife and the dark insect cone intersected one after another, and sparks flew everywhere. Su Xiao had discovered that the old monster's huge power just now was explosive, and every time it was used, there should be a considerable price.

when!!

Su Xiao slashed hard with her sword, cutting the dark insect cone in the old monster's hand to the side and raising it.

flaw.

Su Xiao kicked him, but on the opposite side, the old monster's eyes suddenly widened. Being hit by this kick was no joke.

Bang!!

The old monster broke through a layer of air waves, was kicked and flew straight back, crashing into the wall.

"Hehehehe..."

The old monster got up in the huge pit on the wall. His ribs, flesh and blood, and broken spine that were kicked to pieces were quickly reunited and returned to their original shape.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. From just now, he could not figure out one thing. That is, he used the knife to kill the soul. Although it could hurt the old monster, the damage was very touching, and it could only cause soul-killing.

+True damage, these two types of damage are added together, and one sword has a damage intensity of 500 to 700 points, which is very low.

But with this kick, the old monster had lost a certain amount of its health. Although this was not an explosion of damage compared to other strong players, it was much better than a slashing attack.

This is very strange. Soul Slayer, which was originally the best way to deal with old monsters, is currently performing mediocrely. If you don't understand this, you won't be able to win this battle.

Enemies like the old monster are completely different from the old knight and the Netherworld Emperor. The two have to fight hard, and everything depends on hard power. Without hard power, any clever tricks are useless.

To deal with the old monster, you need to find the right way to deal with it. Once found, Su Xiao can end the battle in a short time. But if you can't find it, using the old monster's various methods to fight a protracted war, Su Xiao will definitely lose.

Xiao, the health of the old monster can be restored faster than Su Xiao drinking potion.

A popular metaphor is that the old monster's body has long been deformed due to his long-term pursuit of immortality. He has an average health limit, but his health recovery speed is extremely fast. Either he will be killed in one move, or he will never be able to kill this old monster.

‘All insects.’

The entire upper body of the old monster exploded and turned into giant bright red centipedes as thick as arms.

"roar!!!"

Giant centipedes roared one after another, producing layers of sound patterns.

'Bendō Sword Aouki.'

The green-blue cutting light flew past and cut off all the dozens of giant centipedes, but in the next moment, only half of these centipedes were left, regenerating at an alarming speed.

More than a dozen giant centipedes replaced the upper body of the old monster. There were cracks in their abdomens, and each of their cross-shaped sharp vertical eyes opened, emitting scarlet light, intending to cover Su Xiao.

Su Xiao, who was charging forward, suddenly stopped. His left arm was blocked in front of him. The crystal layer formed an arm shield and allowed the arm shield to expand rapidly. But even so, his arms and legs were illuminated by scarlet light for an instant.

Only enough time to block the torso and head.

The arm shield was enlarged, and the oncoming scarlet light was even stronger.

Click, click, click~

The crunching sound of the centipede's bite came from the crystal arm shield and lasted for several seconds before it ended. If it was continuously illuminated by this scarlet light, it would definitely be chewed until no bones were left.

With a snap, the crystal arm shield shattered, and on the opposite side, the old monster with a dozen giant centipedes on its upper body returned to its original appearance. He looked at Su Xiao with a smile on his face.

'Broken pupa.'

The old monster's eyes were scarlet. Seeing this, Su Xiao across from him subconsciously jumped back.

As soon as Su Xiao landed, he felt severe pain coming from inside his hands and feet, as if something alive appeared inside. It was...a kind of tiny transparent bugs. These bugs invaded the blood vessels of his hands and feet, and the number increased sharply, and then these tiny bugs

The worm followed the blood and went straight to his heart.

The old monster exhaled. The battle was over. However, he did not relax his vigilance and still stared at Su Xiao. After he used 'Ten Thousand Insects', his condition was not good and he needed to recover for a few seconds.

On the opposite side, in less than a second, numerous bugs rushed from Su Xiao's limbs along the blood vessels to his heart. In such a desperate situation, he did not give up.

Kakaka~

The green steel shadow energy crystallized in Su Xiao's body, as if all the blood vessels in his torso were frozen. He had already figured out what this kind of bug was. It was not a living thing, but part of his own muscle tissue, because he had just been killed by that bug.

Affected by the scarlet light, it is like a small insect, controlled by an old monster. If an alien insect creature really invades, it will be devoured by the energy of the green steel shadow immediately.

The old monster's hand was cruel enough. No one's body energy would destroy his own muscle tissue. Part of his muscle tissue would turn into small insects and attack his heart and brain. This would be a fatal blow.

The bugs in the body are sealed, but how should they be eliminated?

Su Xiao held the knife in one hand and looked at the old monster opposite. He was doing two things. After sensing how many bugs there were in his body, he pressed his left hand on his chest and countless spiritual shadow threads penetrated into his body.

The spiritual shadow lines are all micron level.

The crystallized green steel shadow energy in the body reversed and turned into green steel shadow energy again, which caused the bugs in the blood vessels to escape, but immediately, micron-level spiritual shadow threads wrapped around them.

Su Xiao pulled her left hand hard.

Pfft~

Drops of blood the size of needles flew out from Su Xiao's chest, and the spiritual shadow threads on his left hand hung down, with hundreds of twisting red insects tied to the tips.

Su Xiao glanced at these little bugs. All the bugs were beginning to evaporate because of the old monster's ability, but it was too late. Su Xiao finally knew why this old guy was not afraid of killing souls.

Not only is this old guy not afraid of beheading marks, he is also not afraid of excessive real damage, beheadings, etc.

Why is this? Because this old monster seems to be a whole, but in fact he has turned himself into a bunch of bugs and divided his soul into millions of parts. Each bug body has a small part of its soul.

This is also the reason why the soul-killing damage is low. If you cut it with one knife, it will only damage a line, but it will kill the insect body on that line. Even if it can kill the soul, the upper limit of the health of an insect body is only 10 points.

, no matter how you kill the soul or cause real damage, the most you can do is let the insect die. Killing an insect cannot produce more than 10 points of damage intensity.

Therefore, the old monster is not afraid of being injured by slashing. On the contrary, although the direct kick just now is not soul damage and has no real damage, the advantage is that the attack area is large, so the injury to the old monster will naturally be more serious.

If Su Xiao fights against the old monster from when the High Wall City was first established, then it would be two masters of techniques fighting for a moment of life and death. But now, the old monster is no longer a master of techniques. He is composed of thousands of insects, let alone techniques.

Ability, even his sword, resisted him.

Within 10 seconds, kill this collection of filthy insects.

Opposite, the old monster lowered his eyes and looked at Su Xiao. He was not surprised by the scene where Su Xiao had pulled out hundreds of insects. This was an extermination method. It was ten times or a hundred times more cruel than this. It was not surprising.

With a cry, Su Xiao disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the old monster.

‘Bendō Sword: Jueyou…”

Bang!

A white thread worm penetrated Su Xiao's left shoulder, interrupting his sword skills. The old monster opposite instantly turned into tens of thousands of centipedes, surrounding Su Xiao and biting him.

This scene was exactly what Su Xiao wanted to see. The other party was no longer a master of techniques and took the initiative to show off his flaws without the other party even noticing.

‘Bendō Sword·Toki.’

Boom~

The impact spread, and the centipedes biting around Su Xiao slowed down.

‘The realm of blades!’

With Su Xiao as the center, a semicircular field appeared around it. The diameter of the field was 100 meters. Light blue slashing lights appeared everywhere in the field. They all disappeared in a flash, leaving only a gradual movement in the air.

The dissipated black marks were caused by the space being cut open, making the Blade Realm look extremely spectacular.

It is worth mentioning that among Su Xiao's many abilities, the Blade Domain is definitely the pinnacle of appearance.

Zhengzhengzheng!

The crisp sounds of the slashes continued one after another, and the centipedes around Su Xiao were chopped to pieces. When fighting against the old knight and the Netherworld Emperor, the blade field was indeed a little scratched, but against the old monster, such intensive and powerful slashes

, will be Tianke.

Three seconds passed, and the Blade Realm was closed. Su Xiao stood on the spot holding a knife, the tip of the knife pointing diagonally at the ground, and in the air around him, black marks gradually disappeared.

Centipede debris fell like rain, and some of them were about to fall on Su Xiao, but were repelled by his breath.

Su Xiao looked around, and he was sure that the old monster was not dead yet. Enemies with immortality were not so easy to kill.

Buzz~

A group of flying insects flew out from the pile of centipede corpses, preparing to scatter in all directions.

‘Bendō Sword·Toki.’

Su Xiao expanded the scope of time to the limit, sheathed the long sword in his hand, and made a gesture of drawing the sword to strike.

Black-blue smoke appeared on the scabbard, and after a short period of gathering momentum.

‘Devil Blade·Kill!’

With a cry! The black and red slash was slashed out with a chain. Although this move sounds powerful, it is not used at all in ordinary times. This is a combination of the abilities of "Demon Blade" and "Bendō Sword: Killing". It is a large-scale slash.

Killing ability.

Facing the old monster, if you want to kill it, you must kill every one of his insect bodies. Of course, the old monster is not without limitations. The soul is divided like this. Once the distance between his insect bodies exceeds ten meters, one of them will

One will die in a short period of time, which is the price of dividing the soul into millions of parts.

The black-red slashing chain slashed out diagonally, affecting all the flying insects. These flying insects suddenly froze in mid-air.

"squeak!!"

There was a hiss like an insect coming from the Nine Netherworlds underground, and all the flying insects in the air quickly gathered, turned into old monsters, and fell to the ground with a plop.

"How, it's possible."

The old monster raised his hands and looked down at his body. He felt that death was approaching. He had never been so close to death.

The old monster's arms first turned into bugs, then melted, then his torso, legs, and head.

"I can't die yet. The silence of death is still waiting for me to break it. I am one of the first five chosen ones. I have... also been bathed in the glory of God."

After saying this, the old monster completely turned into a bug and dissolved. In a large pool of water on the ground, only a scarlet centipede was left writhing in death.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao stepped forward. After he stopped, he stepped forward with his left foot and stepped on it with a snap. He also crushed the centipede left and right with the sole of his front foot to ensure that the centipede was crushed into minced meat.

, the insect that was trampled to death last time was called the ultimate insect.

The old monster has been crushed and killed.
