Chapter: What Can Be Done in 0.3 Seconds? Su Xiao's answer was to kill Simo.
The muscles on Su Xiao's right arm bulged slightly as he loosened his grip on Dragon-Slaying Flash. He raised his arm, bent his body, stepped forward, and tossed the blade in his hand.
With a bang, the tip of Dragon-Slaying Flash tore through a wave of air, hurtling straight toward Simo. Her pupils rapidly contracted.
With a puchi, the long blade pierced through flesh and bone. Simo fell to the ground with a thud, the sword piercing through her throat.
The moment Simo landed, she reached for the back of her neck, intending to grab the hilt of Dragon-Slaying Flash.
Zzz~
The Realm Severing Thread tightened. Not only did Simo fail to grasp the hilt, but her hand instead closed around the blade. Just then, Su Xiao had already stepped forward.
Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Dragon-Slaying Flash with one hand, lifting the fallen Simo into the air with the blade. As he withdrew the sword, he slashed sideways. Simo was quick-witted; she arched her body forward with all her might. Due to the angle, the blade did not strike her neck but instead cut into her back.
Simo fell again. First a blade through the throat, then a gash across her back—yet she not only survived but showed signs of getting up.
Wood Spirit clung to Su Xiao's right foot, activating its attack form. The active ability of his kinetic combat boots also activated simultaneously.
Wood Spirit's Wildness (Active): Wood Spirit can envelop an arm or foot, consuming 10% of current maximum health. The next attack will deal Strength Attribute × 0.5 damage, with knockback and repelling effects. If the next attack does not use a weapon, it will deal Strength Attribute × 4 damage, with knockback and repelling effects.
...
When Su Xiao delivered this kick, Simo knew just from the piercing sound of the wind that she might be done for.
Boom!
A shockwave of air exploded, pushing back a large area of the surrounding plasma.
Electric light flickered as Simo slammed into the edge of the plasma net. She slid slowly down from the net rather than falling directly to the ground, her body completely numb from the neck down.
High-temperature plasma evaporated her blood into vapor. Simo turned her head, looking toward the rising morning sun on the horizon.
"Ah, la la, so I'll die in battle at dawn."
The moment Simo finished speaking, a bullet embedded itself in her head.
"Farewell, Simo."
The Sayer Nord clinging to Simo's chest gradually turned incandescent red. Almost instantly, Simo's corpse was evaporated by the high heat.
With a crackling sound, the revolver formed from Sayer Nord shattered, releasing an extremely terrifying surge of energy.
The moment Sayer Nord began to change, Su Xiao had already retreated quickly. By the time the energy shockwave spread, he had long since used his Dragon Shadow Flash ability to leave the plasma net.
The plasma net twisted and then settled. Although Sayer Nord came from the void, it was ultimately just a weapon. With consciousness but no body, no matter how powerful it once was, it could not exert its strength. As for taking over Simo's body—don't be ridiculous. The rejection between body and soul is no joke. If Sayer Nord's soul had entered Simo's body, one of them would have collapsed first.
Sayer Nord had backbone, or rather, it knew that falling into Su Xiao's hands would make it food for Dragon-Slaying Flash.
