Chapter 1278: Extermination
Like a branch or a leaf, or even a stone, the rays inside them are never completely regular, and as long as you find a weak point, you can dismantle what appears to be a stable ray structure.
Xu Huo hadn't thought of trying this on a space item before. The "Inviolable Domain" in his hand was a complete space, similar to the 001 District he was in. Even if he could try, it wouldn't succeed. However, the barrier in front of him, which had already been pierced and had a breach, presented an opportunity.
One gap wasn't enough, so he poked two more out beside it.
This series of actions attracted the attention of several players who arrived later. Of course, the main thing that caught their eye was the black blade in his hand.
The players who had already reached the space barrier had also tried their own props, but at most, they left a few scratches on the barrier without being able to penetrate deep into it. This showed that the black blade in Xu Huo's hand was of no low level.
A few seconds later, two players silently stood behind Xu Huo.
Xu Huo didn't turn around, only pausing slightly in his movements to indicate that he knew they were there.
The two players exchanged glances, and after looking at each other, the older one said, "With the way you're digging holes, you're wasting the good prop in your hand."
Xu Huo turned around with the blade in hand, smiling as he looked at the two. "What? You want it?"
Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, the two hesitated a bit, but when their gaze fell on the black blade, greed uncontrollably overflowed.
Exchanging another look, the two split left and right, making a gesture as if to flank him from both sides.
But this was just a feint. Only the older one attacked from the right, while the younger one turned and launched a frontal assault.
Xu Huo stood still, raising his hand to grab a ten-meter-high space barrier in the air. After cutting off the younger player's prop, he swung his blade in a backhand slash forward!
The younger player wasn't surprised that the black blade could break through a defense barrier, so when his defense prop shattered, he didn't retreat but directly held his sword to meet the attack. However, he didn't expect the black blade to easily cut through his prop sword and also slice through his second layer of close-fitting defense, slashing his throat!
Kicking the corpse away, Xu Huo turned and pulled the older player trapped inside the space barrier closer. But this one was smart enough; the moment he met Xu Huo's gaze, he used a ticket to leave the 001 District.
Xu Huo let go, swept a glance at the few players hiding in the shadows, and turned his attention back to the space barrier.
He didn't have much time left; players from Fresh Flower City were already approaching.
But soon, he made a breakthrough because he discovered that this space barrier was somewhat similar to his newly purchased defense prop "Flower Bloom." Each petal of "Flower Bloom" was an independent defense layer, and destroying one petal wouldn't affect the other layers. The space barrier in front of him seemed to be the same; its interior was composed of triangular bodies of different sizes stitched together. It was impossible to destroy the entire barrier layer in one go, but spending some time to destroy one of the triangular bodies wasn't difficult.
After grasping the pattern, Xu Huo quickly opened a passage in the barrier wall that could allow a single person to pass through.
Just as he was about to exit, the two-meter-tall strong man suddenly appeared directly in front of the passage. With a single palm strike, he sent another player trying to leave through the passage flying, tossed the round pestle in his hand to a companion beside him, and then shot forward like a cannonball!
"Boom!" The "Inviolable Domain" took a heavy blow. Xu Huo used the impact to retreat while frequently changing direction with his space power.
The strong man was fast enough, but the tracking device he carried couldn't keep up with the elusive Xu Huo. So even though Xu Huo didn't leave the tracking range, the chase between them opened up a certain distance.
However, no matter how much he changed direction, he couldn't avoid being caught up by the nearby flying surveillance monitors. So, after briefly shaking off the strong man, he slipped into an underground passage. Just as he was about to change his appearance, the passage, only a few meters away, was suddenly smashed through from above. The metal supporting the passage twisted and deformed, and a tall figure dropped down from above, accompanied by a huge laugh. An echo that seemed capable of shattering eardrums began to recklessly shuttle through the passage.
Xu Huo looked at the human cannonball rapidly charging towards him, quickly retreated deeper into the passage, and at the same time released his spiritual realm and the cube space.
The strong man also sensed this, his expression turning slightly more serious, but his tone remained unchanged. "A dual-direction super evolution? A C-rank player, quite talented. Too bad you're going to die here today!"
Xu Huo dodged his attacks while saying, "Isn't Fresh Flower City being too harsh on outer zone players? I'm just passing through. Is it really necessary to exterminate me?"
"Attacking a government player in Fresh Flower City is a provocation against the government. Anyone who dares to provoke Fresh Flower City must die!" The strong man grabbed the tracks inside the passage with both hands, swinging them like two long whips, forming a twenty-meter-long meat grinder rope.
Xu Huo was a bit puzzled. "Fresh Flower City is this arrogant? No players have come back to settle the score?"
Given the situation tonight, the number of outer zone players dying here probably wasn't much less than in the Card City maze instance.
The strong man snorted proudly. "Do you think this is some kind of place where you can come and go as you please?"
Xu Huo suddenly understood. "Fresh Flower City has super players."
"So what if you know? Killing you, I alone am enough!" The strong man threw away the severed tracks, teleported in front of him, and reached out through the air, pulling Xu Huo towards him!
Xu Huo wasn't completely controlled. Following the direction of the pull, he opened a door in front of himself and then several smaller doors, transferring the jamming device the strong man had taken out to another location. He then began moving along the passage towards the directly administered district.
Perhaps due to the difference in level, the player chasing him didn't care at all about destroying city buildings. Along the way, he damaged countless passage walls and tracks, even breaking through the surface several times and even toppling two residential buildings, completely indifferent to the ordinary citizens crushed to death inside. Instead, he became more excited at the sight of blood.
Watching him chug along like an engine, Xu Huo estimated the distance to the directly administered district. After using "Holder's Demise" for two sneak attacks, with the assistance of his spiritual realm, he used the tangent to slash the strong man's arms.
"Hahaha!" The strong man sneered. After his arms lost strength, he suddenly clenched his fists, and the muscles on his arms bulged. The wounds at the tears in his protective suit actually healed at a visible rate!
He was also a super evolver, but his evolution direction was self-control, allowing his body to heal quickly.
But as long as he could be injured, that was enough.
Two minutes later, Xu Huo closed the distance again, trading injury for injury and cutting off half of the strong man's foot.
The strong man used a prop to force him back and immediately reattached his foot. But soon, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he looked up. "You poisoned your prop!"
