# Chapter 25: You Should Unlock the Hundred-Man Slayer Achievement First
The magnetic core flash bomb tumbled through the air. Yierduo, crouching on the chandelier, tensed her body, her gaze fixed on the suspicious flying object, ready to create a safe distance at any moment.
*Boom!*
Intense light exploded within the room. Even though it was afternoon, white light still streamed through the window.
When light reached a certain intensity, being within the blinding radiance left everything pure white before one's eyes.
The dazzling white light quickly faded. The 'magnetic core flash bomb' explosion produced a burnt smell, mixed with a faint acidic odor.
"Ah!!"
A scream rang out. Yierduo, crouching on the chandelier, covered her eyes. Her vision was now filled with white and red—the white from the intense light stimulation, the red from subconjunctival hemorrhage caused by the blast.
The chandelier swayed left and right. Completely blinded, Yierduo nearly fell from the chandelier, but with her combat proficiency, even temporary blindness wouldn't make her too flustered.
"Kada (Necromancer language: Despicable)."
Although Yierduo was not weak in strength and lacked no experience, she lacked adaptability in actual combat. When Su Xiao threw an object toward her, her first thought was that it might explode, or contain large amounts of poison.
As for flashbangs—such high-tech items—please spare Yierduo. Such things simply didn't exist in her understanding. Therefore, she fell for it directly.
That the magnetic core flash bomb achieved such miraculous results surprised even Su Xiao himself. He had only felt that capturing Yierduo alive would be troublesome, as over 90% of his combat methods were lethal. So he used words to confuse her before battle and tossed out a magnetic core flash bomb to try his luck.
As the intense light just receded, Su Xiao's long blade slashed forward, a blade aura detaching from the edge.
*Zheng.*
Hearing the slashing sound flying toward her, Yierduo, who had completely lost her vision, didn't panic. She pressed the ends of her two daggers together, curling her body as much as possible to reduce the area that could be attacked.
*Ding ling*—Yierduo felt the incoming attack fly over her head, severing some metal object. This made her breathe a sigh of relief.
But in the next moment, Yierduo suddenly remembered that she had crouched on the room's chandelier for a more dramatic entrance. What had just been severed was most likely the chandelier's support rod.
That was exactly the case. This necromancer girl was now stepping on the metal chandelier as it rapidly descended.
*Bang dang!* The metal chandelier crashed to the ground. Yierduo had already leaped backward, her movements very agile, like a night cat.
Yierduo had temporarily lost her vision, true, but she still had her hearing. She surprisingly discovered that after her vision failed, her hearing became sharper.
Yierduo's 75 points of stamina attribute meant she wouldn't easily suffer permanent blindness. According to Su Xiao's estimation, Yierduo would be blind for at most 2 minutes.
What could be done in two minutes of blindness? Su Xiao's answer was to put away Dragon-Slaying Flash.
That's right, Su Xiao did indeed put away Dragon-Slaying Flash. Just now, he had determined that the necromancer Yierduo was relying on hearing to perceive her surroundings. If that were the case, Su Xiao wielding Dragon-Slaying Flash might accidentally kill her. She still had significant use and couldn't become a treasure chest just yet.
As soon as Su Xiao put away Dragon-Slaying Flash, the legendary equipment Wood Spirit climbed onto his right hand, wrapping around his fingers and forearm.
Su Xiao walked forward slowly. Yierduo immediately heard the footsteps. But in the next moment, Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
*Whoosh!*
Yierduo felt a gust of wind rushing toward her. Emerald green light flickered on her two long daggers as large amounts of necromantic energy enveloped the blades.
Just as Su Xiao rushed to within five meters of Yierduo, he abruptly stopped, swung his arm forward, and several white objects flew ahead.
Yierduo lowered her body, her pointed ears twitching as she listened carefully... for an explosion!
*Boom, boom, boom...*
One alchemy bomb after another exploded near Yierduo. The blast impact and flames spread. Yierduo's ears rang—she had been intently listening to surrounding sounds, and this sudden explosion truly shook her badly.
Her eyes stung with a burning pain, her ears buzzed faintly. This was certainly not a pleasant experience. The necromancer girl Yierduo's nose tingled. She felt both grief and humiliation in her heart—grief at her own stupidity, anger at the enemy's despicability.
Clearly, the necromancer girl Yierduo, who had yet to unlock the 'Hundred-Man Slayer Achievement,' was not a battle-hardened warrior. Her strength was not weak, and she had rich combat experience, but her practical combat experience was lacking. This only indicated one thing: Yierduo had a very skilled teacher.
Come to think of it, if it were an old schemer like Joseph Ke on the battlefield, how could they have their vision taken by a flashbang at the start of battle? Facing that kind of old schemer, the moment Su Xiao threw the flashbang, they would have raised an arm to block their face and quickly leaped backward. That was also Su Xiao's instinctive reaction when an enemy threw something at him.
Our necromancer girl Yierduo didn't have such instinctive reactions. Her instinct was to observe—to observe whether that flashbang was dangerous.
A single mistake in the first step could lead to defeat in the entire battle, just like Yierduo now.
The flames from the alchemy bomb explosions surged toward Su Xiao. He didn't retreat a single step but instead charged straight into the flames.
Heat waves assailed him from all directions. Just as Su Xiao rushed into the flames, an emerald green dagger thrust toward his face.
Charging forward, Su Xiao tilted his head, barely dodging that dagger. But a second dagger followed immediately, stabbing straight toward his chest.
Su Xiao didn't even look at the second dagger. The muscles on his right arm bulged slightly—this was his sword-wielding hand, possessing terrifying strength. When combined with Wood Spirit's attack form, the power was even more astonishing.
An afterimage flashed. Su Xiao's fist slammed into Yierduo's abdomen. *Rip!* The fabric at Yierduo's abdomen burst open, revealing her gray-white belly.
Su Xiao's fist embedded itself into Yierduo's abdomen. Her body bent into a V-shape as sour liquid from her mouth sprayed onto her mask.
*Thump!*
Yierduo was smashed directly into the ground, creating a pit six meters in diameter and two meters deep, covered in spiderweb-like cracks.
Su Xiao jumped into the earthen pit. The moment he landed, an arm burst through the soil at the pit's center, gripping a dagger.
*Bang.*
A surge of green energy spread from within the dirt. The soil around Yierduo was blasted away. She was now enveloped in a layer of emerald green energy shield, her body slightly hunched as she gasped heavily, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
Yierduo opened one emerald eye. From the trembling pupil, it seemed this eye had partially recovered its vision—faster than Su Xiao had anticipated.
"A usage method similar to 'Proud Song,' but much cruder."
The 'Proud Song' Su Xiao referred to was a branch ability of Azure Steel Shadow, the energy shield he frequently used.
