Chapter 219: Chapter 29: Heart

[You killed Brand]

[Brand was a key plot character, gaining 3.6% World Source, now totaling 8.3% World Source.]

[Your talent ’Soul Devourer’ activated, permanently increasing Mana Value by 15 points, current Mana Value is 517 points.]

...

”Brother Brand.”

Tazmi shouted and staggered up to rush towards Brand’s corpse.

After just a few steps, Tazmi was stopped by someone.

”Calm down, Tazmi.”

Red Eye’s voice was somewhat low, although a comrade had died in front of them, a strong enemy was still present. No matter how angry one feels, they must remain calm.

”How can you expect me to stay calm?”

Tazmi struggled fiercely, his blood smearing Red Eye’s sleeve.

”Calm down, Tazmi.”

Red Eye’s voice turned serious; rushing forward now would mean suicide for Tazmi.

Su Xiao picked up the key that Brand dropped. They had no mutual hatred; Brand injected stimulants despite being injured to cover his comrades, an adversary worthy of respect. They were merely on opposing sides; if he didn’t kill Brand, Brand would kill him.

The Empire and the Revolutionary army were mortal enemies, and such conflicts couldn’t be resolved through negotiations.

In the choice between killing and being killed, Su Xiao chose to kill. He was no Saint; any hostile creature challenging him would be met with his Sharp Blade.

Brand’s strength wasn’t weak, which is why a Blue Treasure Chest dropped, and there were also three Imperial tools in Brand’s bag, which he took all.

These Imperial tools, once in his hands, would not be handed over to the Empire; he’d never do such a foolish thing.

The battle was still ongoing; even if he wanted to leave, the Night Raid Team wouldn’t agree.

”Tazmi, have you calmed down?”

Red Eye supported Tazmi.

”Yes.”

Tazmi’s eyelids drooped as he experienced the death of a comrade for the first time since joining the Night Raid Team.

At this time, Tazmi was still a bit naive, thinking the Night Raid Team fought for Justice, but the team was the Revolutionary army’s Anbu, responsible for all the ’dirty work’ and ’tiring work’, inevitably bringing about death.

The Revolutionary army was indeed good, but the Night Raid Team must be Evil, though its members were people full of Justice. Anbu is Anbu.

The duty of Anbu was to assist the country in killing, no matter how heinous the person killed was, it was still killing.

”Use this to contact the boss, tell them we need support, we might have encountered someone as terrifying as Esdeath.”

Red Eye handed the walkie-talkie to Tazmi, and Tazmi nodded weakly.

”Although it sounds naive, I must avenge my comrade today.”

Red Eye gripped the knife with both hands, standing opposite Su Xiao.

”If you can kill me, go ahead. The moment I took up a blade against others, I was prepared to be slaughtered by others.”

Su Xiao never considered himself a good person. He knew he was an Evil Man; he could kill others, and others could kill him as well, depending on who was stronger.

Su Xiao and Red Eye simultaneously stamped the ground and charged at each other.

Clang, clang...

The sound of weapons clashing resounded continuously.

The Long Knife slashed silver threads in front, sparks flew.

Su Xiao’s strategy was mainly offensive, his Spirit highly focused on capturing any enemy flaws, while Red Eye took passive Defense, ready to strike when Su Xiao made a mistake.

Even the slightest enemy error was an opportunity for Red Eye to kill, that’s how tricky Chun Yu’s Ability was.

Far away, Mine didn’t continue shooting; she understood that distracting the enemy like this was far more useful than shooting at random.

Chun Yu slashed head-on, and Su Xiao posed to hold Dragon Slash horizontally in front of him.

Clang.

The Rebound Force transmitted from the hilt to his palm, Su Xiao was not fully defensive, using Red Eye’s cleave to pivot the blade downward.

Red Eye was prepared for the Rebound Force from the weapon collision, already exerting force, but unexpectedly, her slash continued downward.

This sudden change caused Red Eye’s balance to falter, her prepared posture deformed, and she staggered a small step forward.

This is the difference in Sword Technique; even the slightest deviation can be fatal, let alone a small forward stagger.

Seizing this opportunity precisely, Su Xiao first leaned sideways to stay far from Chun Yu; he didn’t want to slip up carelessly.

Holding Dragon Slash horizontally on the left side of his body to Defend against potential attacks from Red Eye, Su Xiao crouched low, sweeping his right leg towards Red Eye’s lower calf.

Bang.

Red Eye immediately felt a dull pain on the side of her left calf, and instantly the entire left leg went numb.

Su Xiao’s attack didn’t end there. He lunged forward, almost sticking close to Red Eye, like a pair of lovers embracing.

But Su Xiao, this gentleman, was somewhat rough, kneeing hard against Red Eye’s abdomen.

Bang.

Red Eye’s body instinctively bent, spewing a mouthful of acid, her vision went black.

At this moment, Red Eye knew it was over; she might never have the chance to retaliate and could even lose her life.

As Red Eye imagined, as her body bent forward, Su Xiao’s free left arm lifted, tightening with strength, and the elbow struck down full force.

Thud.

The hard bone of the elbow hammered against Red Eye’s rear rib cage, the chest echoed with a dull sound from the hit, this time Red Eye spat out not acid, but vivid red blood.

The ribs behind had broken, Red Eye could feel it.

This ruthless three-combo prevented Red Eye from controlling her body anymore, slumping to the ground with a thud.

It’s not just blades that can kill; once close, Su Xiao’s entire body became a weapon.

Red Eye fell, and Su Xiao wouldn’t miss such a perfect opportunity; he wouldn’t waste time talking after the enemy fell, usually delivering the finishing stab immediately, speaking to the enemy’s corpse if needed.

Su Xiao targeted Red Eye’s fair neck, but Red Eye was very clever, she held Chun Yu horizontally at her back to prevent Beheading; this showed Red Eye’s rich combat experience.

In less than a split second, Su Xiao switched from cleaving to stabbing, thrusting towards Red Eye’s head.

Clang.

The Long Knife pierced deeply into the ground, Dragon Slash grazing past Red Eye’s cheek, leaving a cut.

In a split second between Life and Death, Red Eye released an incredible desire to survive.

Time was running out, Su Xiao sensed that Mine’s attack from afar was imminent.

Decisively abandoning the head, Su Xiao’s second strike aimed at the larger target of the torso, unable for Red Eye to dodge here.

Squish.

Dragon Slash pierced through Red Eye’s left chest, even into the ground, where the heart was located. Su Xiao had killed many, thus gauging the heart’s position was easy for him.

Though Red Eye was as beautiful as a flower, their battle purposes were mutually to kill, using all means to do so, with no holding back.

Red Eye’s body convulsed, the brightness in her eyes gradually dimmed.

Su Xiao switched from holding the knife single-handedly to double-handedly, the Long Knife aligned sideways, which would completely sever Red Eye’s heart.

Squish, blood splattered.

This scene fell into Tazmi and Mine’s eyes, both somewhat dazed, their pupils shrinking as if unable to believe what was happening.

”This...how is it possible.”

Tazmi murmured dumbly.

A scorching orange laser shot at Su Xiao’s chest, forcing him to dodge evadingly.

Closing in on finishing the second one, just needed to finish up.

Mine began wildly shooting at Su Xiao, dodging them all; this kind of shot under his Perception couldn’t hit him.

Flicking off the bloodstains from his Throwing Knife, Su Xiao dodged while waiting for Red Eye’s Death.

Having the heart pierced doesn’t cause instant Death; the scenes in movies of dying immediately from a pierced heart are false. When the heart ruptures, the blood circulation function is disrupted; the lack of oxygen in the blood reaching all parts of the body leads to a short time until fainting and death, varying from ten seconds to a few minutes depending on the size of the heart wound.

Five seconds, eight seconds, ten seconds.

After ten seconds, Red Eye actually stood up, leaving Su Xiao shocked—was this Chun Yu’s Ability?

No, he had researched Chun Yu in detail; although it temporarily boosted one’s strength, it didn’t have Death immunity Ability.

Red Eye, pressing her left chest wound, breathed in large gulps of air, clearly regaining Stamina.

”This is...the heart on the right side?”

Su Xiao couldn’t believe it—indeed, some people had hearts on the right side, but those odds were one in several million, or even tens of millions, less likely than winning the lottery.

Su Xiao having hit the jackpot didn’t make him happy; the enemy hadn’t died.

Sure enough, the protagonist of such ’Child of Qi Luck’ was never easy to kill. In the original, all other Night Raid Team members died or were near Death due to Life exhaustion, except Red Eye didn’t die.
