Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 239: Chapter 49: The Funeral

Raising his left arm, the curse poison gradually eroded upwards, but strangely, the erosion speed was not fast.

According to the information from the original work, the deadly speed of Chun Yu’s curse poison was very fast, taking a life in no more than three seconds.

Dragon Slash drew a line and slashed towards the left arm, stopping as soon as the blade touched the skin.

It wasn’t that Su Xiao hadn’t awakened to cut off his left arm, but he discovered something strange.

When the curse poison invaded from the wound on the back of his hand into his arm, something went wrong within his body as Blue Steel Shadow energy became abnormally violent, as if its territory was being invaded.

A large amount of Blue Steel Shadow energy surged towards the curse poison in his arm, the two were at odds, extinguishing each other the moment they touched.

If it were any other energy, it might not resist the curse poison. After all, it’s an instant death ability. However, Blue Steel Shadow energy is different; what is Blue Steel Shadow’s energy best at? It annihilates other energies.

The two energies began a fierce battle in Su Xiao’s arm, unable to overpower each other for a time.

The curse poison is a very strong energy with a high energy level, but Blue Steel Shadow is endless; as long as Su Xiao has Mana Value, Blue Steel Shadow energy will not exhaust.

Su Xiao had a total of 536 Mana Value points; after such a long battle, about 300 points remained.

After the curse poison invaded his body, his Mana Value decreased significantly, reaching an astonishing 5 points per second. This is Blue Steel Shadow rapidly converting Mana Value into special energy.

Su Xiao placed Dragon Slash under his armpit, ready to cut off his arm decisively should Blue Steel Shadow energy show any sign of defeat.

His left forearm was full of curse poison’s black tadpole-like patterns, while arcs surged above the forearm.

Red Eye witnessed this scene with disbelief in her eyes.

Almost half a minute had passed, but Su Xiao showed no signs of death, instead positioning his blade under his armpit, prepared to cut off his arm at any moment.

”Damn, it’s that ’Electric Toxin.’

Red Eye crouched on the ground, Chun Yu stabbed in front of her, hands gripping the hilt tightly; without this, she might collapse at any moment.

Enduring the various emotions of lost souls is no small matter; waves of pain emanated from within Red Eye, imperceptible wails of lost souls piercing her ears.

”Ugh!”

Red Eye spat out a large mouthful of blood, almost collapsing as her vision darkened.

”Heh~, using power that doesn’t belong to you, thinking you can kill me with that.”

Su Xiao removed Dragon Slash from his armpit, holding it steadily as he approached Red Eye.

Even he wasn’t well off; his left arm throbbed with intense pain.

While severing his left arm could immediately relieve this pain, doing so could have endless repercussions, as a small portion of curse poison might seize the opportunity to invade his body. Although it wouldn’t kill him, his combat strength in the World of Crimson would significantly drop, only recovering upon returning to Reincarnation Paradise.

But utilizing Blue Steel Shadow’s energy to devour the curse poison was entirely different; Blue Steel Shadow energy would thoroughly annihilate the curse poison within his arm.

With just over 200 Mana Value points remaining, the curse poison had already retreated to his hand.

”You monster.”

Red Eye gritted her silver teeth, attempting to rise and fight Su Xiao, but her weakened body rendered her unable to continue the battle.

”Holding an eerie knife and calling others monsters, is that really okay, Miss Red Eye?”

Su Xiao treaded lightly towards Red Eye, his eyes boiling with murderous intent, as Red Eye raised Chun Yu in an attempt to resist.

Pshh.

Dragon Slash pierced through Red Eye’s chest, this time the right one, straight through the heart.

Su Xiao single-handedly lifted the knife, hoisting Red Eye into the air, preventing her from continuing to resist.

Red Eye was lifted into the air, completely losing the strength to hold Chun Yu, which fell to the ground.

Clink, the eerie knife hit the ground; the forest wind stirred Red Eye’s long hair, bright red blood dripping down.

”One day, someone will defeat you, representing the will of the people, representing the justice in their hearts.”

Red Eye’s expression was calm; even if Su Xiao didn’t kill her after using her special technique, she would die within a few years, suffering the influence of the lost souls during those years.

”Justice? Grandiose words, strength is justice, only the victor has the right to define who is just.

Today I have won; if I wish, I could twist the Night Raid Team into a complete assassin organization, into a pack of hyenas killing for money.”

On the brink of death, Red Eye had nothing to say.

”Farewell...”

Red Eye’s head drooped, ending her life as an assassin.

The heavens are never fair; Red Eye was forcibly educated to be an assassin at a very young age.

Yet the heavens are also fair; after becoming an assassin, Red Eye gained the power to control her fate, wielding weapons to fight for her beliefs.

Su Xiao fought for his beliefs too, only for personal faith.

”Cough cough cough...”

Su Xiao spat several large mouthfuls of blood, placing Red Eye’s corpse on the ground, then retrieved Chun Yu and the Jaegers.

He planned to hide the bodies of Red Eye and Black Pupil so that even if someone tracked down the Imperial Tools, they wouldn’t suspect him.

The traces of his battle with Carl were there, claiming that he was dealing with a strong enemy would not raise suspicion.

Su Xiao raised his left hand as the curse poison’s traces faded away, with Blue Steel Shadow completely purging the curse poison, consuming a total of 276 Mana Value points.

Su Xiao had a vague feeling that if he encountered such instant-death toxins again, his resistance would definitely be much easier than this time.

It’s like a cold, cutting off his arm was akin to intravenous therapy, effective yet reducing resistance.

Thus, Su Xiao endured the curse poison, for future derivative worlds will be fraught with danger, possibly encountering enemies with strange abilities, and enduring the curse poison could bring many benefits.

Su Xiao tossed the purple treasure chest in his hand, considering this a bountiful gain, perhaps...

Before opening the chest, he typically felt quite anxious.

Playing with the purple treasure chest in hand, Su Xiao was quite interested in opening it, although he wasn’t very lucky.

The unexpected increase in the completion of the ’Sky Predator’ task was a pleasant surprise. It’s a big task, and the rewards will surely be astounding.

Su Xiao glanced at the bodies of Red Eye and Black Pupil, intending to bury the two together to minimize the chance of discovery. As for the wicked thoughts of taking advantage of them, he never harbored such ideas.

Digging a large pit, Su Xiao buried Red Eye and Black Pupil together. As he finished covering them with soil, the surrounding forest resounded with shouts and battle cries.

”Has the main force finally arrived?”

Su Xiao tossed the shovel into the forest, signaling Bubute Ni to approach from a distance.

Bubute Ni ran over joyfully; transforming into a core as soon as he arrived by Su Xiao’s side. After putting away Bubute Ni’s core, he proceeded towards the direction where Esdeath was located.
