Chapter 234: Chapter 163: Blade
Annihilated with a single strike.
This was the extent of Su Xing’s current power.
But he didn’t let his guard down, not even for a fraction of a second. He turned and charged directly toward a place resembling a security booth he had spotted earlier while searching for beast cores.
Although Su Xing could wipe out a small, detached squad with a single strike, facing an entire swarm by himself would not be such an easy fight. He had to be careful.
Just then,
the small door of the booth appeared before him. Su Xing pushed off his feet, his body shooting forward like a sword as he rushed inside.
Although,
it looked like a security booth,
in a place like this, there was naturally no way a real security booth would exist.
Su Xing glanced around.
He instantly understood.
This must be a rest area for the Sequencers from the special organization who stood guard or patrolled here.
There was even a cup of instant noodles steaming nearby.
Evidently,
the person who was here had just left.
But...
Considering the scene outside, whoever just left was either already dead or currently fighting for their life.
"..."
Su Xing was silent for a moment.
Then, he heard a loud rustling sound from outside the door, followed by a harsh, grating screech of metal on metal, as if a sharp object was being scraped forcefully across a metal surface.
The sounds were clearly the spiders trying to break down the security booth’s door with their sharp limbs. The door was obviously made of a special metal, which was why the contact produced such a strange and piercing noise.
The door looked ordinary,
but whatever material it was made of, it was exceptionally sturdy. Despite the spiders’ repeated attacks, it only vibrated violently, showing no signs of bursting open.
At the same time, Su Xing relaxed, knowing in his heart that his idea was sound.
It’s as they say: big bodies are weak against doors.
The spiders outside were extremely aggressive, but not a single one of them was small. The larger ones, especially, had no hope of getting into this room.
And with this iron door being sturdy enough,
then...
’All I need to do is secure the door, open a tiny gap, and I can kill all the spiders here without getting hit myself.’
The more he thought about it,
the more feasible the plan seemed to Su Xing.
And so,
it was time to test his theory.
In truth, Su Xing couldn’t be sure how long the door would hold. It was holding for now, but that didn’t mean it would last forever.
He also didn’t know,
what other spirit beasts might be in this cave besides the spiders.
But...
When was a battle ever a sure thing?
Every fight, every slaughter, was always filled with uncertainty. This very uncertainty lent the battle a uniquely bloody beauty.
Besides, if you want to get stronger, how can you not take a few risks?
Su Xing had been through too much, killed too many people, and fought too many battles. Even in this situation, his expression remained unchanged. He only tightened his grip on the two longswords in his hands.
’Time to begin,’ Su Xing thought.
He put some force into the Black Sword, plunged it into a corner of the door, and carved out a small hole—just big enough for one spider to enter.
CRACK!
The sound reverberated through the metal, echoed throughout the room, and finally reached the sensory organs of the spider swarm outside.
For a moment, the air fell silent.
The spider swarm outside,
with their limited intelligence, probably couldn’t understand why Su Xing would do such a thing. But they understood one thing very clearly: this pathetic human had just given them a chance to get inside. And so...
Their frenzy intensified!
The next moment,
the spiders’ unique, piercing screeches began to echo throughout the cave.
One after another, ferocious spiders shot out from the darkness. They swarmed up the rusty stairs like a tide, surging toward the room at the top.
But,
when they reached the top,
they suddenly discovered that the way inside was completely sealed by a large door. Only a small corner offered a glimpse of the light within.
The spider at the very front didn’t hesitate for a second, scrambling to squeeze through the small opening.
The moment it poked its head through,
it saw Su Xing, dressed in his shirt.
He held a blue longsword in his left hand and a black longsword in his right. The two swords, though different in color, both glinted with the same astonishing, cold light.
"Don’t be hasty."
"One at a time."
The Black Sword came down,
instantly obliterating its entire upper body.
The spider in front died, its corpse blocking the only entrance. The other spiders behind it were not pleased. They shoved their way forward, trying to squeeze in.
Some spiders crawled all over the iron door,
trying to find another way into the room.
Other spiders,
showing no regard for their kin, simply tore the dead body aside and squeezed into the entrance after it.
In fact,
their frenzy stretched the opening Su Xing had carefully controlled, making it a little larger.
Two spiders squeezed in at the same time.
Fortunately, although the gap had been widened this once, it didn’t get any bigger after that.
"What’s the rush?"
"In a hurry to be reincarnated?!"
The Black Sword and the Snake Sword,
struck down almost simultaneously.
