Chapter 126 – Do you think I dare to make a second cut?


The smoke ghost always thought he was hiding well.

After all, the fact that the book “Isaac’s Alchemy Notes” could be hidden in the guild warehouse for so long without being discovered proved that his plan to deceive others was successful.

But what he couldn’t understand was why, even though the items had already been delivered to the inner city, they were still stolen?

The higher-ups in the organization had previously questioned him about why he had missed such important information and arranged for a “thunderstorm” to be sent to the escort team. Not only did they take the manuscript, but they also caused such a big commotion…

I don’t know anything about it!

Do you guys not know the strength of the ordinary gang members in the outer city?

There are only a few members of the Cross Society in Green Street. Who in the guild doesn’t know?

The only professional in the escort team is Kay. Who knew that he had a “little brother” who was a quasi-second-order expert by his side?

A firearms expert, a spider alchemical plant with suspected golden quality, and the secret technique “Mushi”…

If an ordinary professional has one of these, they would definitely be a core member of the Cross Society. Who would have thought that Su’en had not leaked any information about it before?

The smoke ghost felt very aggrieved when questioned by his superiors.

Are you sure you don’t investigate whether there are any elite defectors from the special organizations in the inner city, and instead come to question when the outer city has raised such a monster?

Can a first-order professional like this be cultivated in a resource-poor place like the outer city?

And another thing!

Are you telling me that the umbrella organization in the inner city, the mechanical city guards, and the security department experts couldn’t handle a single first-order professional?

The smoke ghost felt that those guys had lost their basic hunting abilities because their living environment was too comfortable.

No matter how powerful Su’en is, he is still just a first-order professional!

Even just fifteen minutes ago, when the smoke ghost was notified to join the joint interception, he couldn’t believe that the unknown little gang member named “Su’en” had just killed twenty or thirty people who were trying to capture him in the inner city and escaped?!

But now, seeing everything in front of him, he believed it.

Just a minute ago, he heard the report on the communicator that three second-order members of the umbrella organization who participated in the interception were killed.

…….

The smoke ghost blocked Su’en, his expression complicated.

So it was because he had a “forbidden item” in his hand?

How could the smoke ghost not be familiar with that large black scythe? They used this “forbidden item” to break into the headquarters of the Cross Society.

Afterward, the scythe was taken away by a comrade.

Later, when he didn’t hear any news of his comrade returning to the city, he thought he had died in some corner of the sewer. He didn’t expect… it ended up in this kid’s hands?

The power of that forbidden item was indeed almost unbeatable, but its cursed nature was also deadly. It was impossible to use it as a regular weapon.

However, even with the black scythe that had the forbidden item, if a professional used it to kill three people in a row, they should have exploded and died!

The smoke ghost was not present during the previous battle, so now he looked at Su’en, who was greeting him with a smile, and thought that he hadn’t been exposed.

Then, unexpectedly, he was suddenly struck by a slash.

…….

“Damn! How could this kid suddenly attack? Could it be that I’ve been exposed?”

If the smoke ghost assassin’s thoughts could be heard at this moment, it would definitely be this curse word.

In a state of confusion, another moment of terrifying death made his hair stand on end.

The black scythe swung down, and a spatial crack immediately appeared in front of the smoke ghost.

If this slash hit, it would have diagonally split his entire neck in half.

But the smoke ghost was, after all, a veteran second-order professional.

Although Su’en’s movements were seamless and he took the initiative with a surprise attack, the slashing motion was too easy to predict. At the moment he started, the smoke ghost instinctively reacted to the crisis and began to dodge with all his might.

But the black scythe’s slash was too fast.

As the scythe swung, the crack appeared.

With a sharp sound of a blade cutting through silk, blood sprayed, and a broken wall fell to the ground with a snap.

And the smoke ghost’s body disintegrated into thick mist, instantly blending with the surrounding mist.

“I didn’t kill him…”

Su’en looked at the broken wall, his pupils slightly contracted.

With a pull of the eight-armed spider spear, his robe tore, instantly revealing several “Wailing Dolls” and “Sly Smile Dolls” protecting his body.

He tightly gripped the black scythe in his hand, staring intently at the mist surrounding him.

He had expected that he wouldn’t be able to kill the smoke ghost with one slash.

The reason he was able to successfully kill the three second-order professionals from the umbrella organization earlier was mainly because they didn’t know he had the black scythe and didn’t notice the “invisible zombie”, so they were completely defenseless.

But now the smoke ghost had already seen the scythe on him and would instinctively be on guard.

Moreover, the smoke ghost’s ability was very special.

Su’en had heard Kay boast about how powerful the old captain smoke ghost, who had brought him out, was, and he had also mentioned in detail how he had witnessed the smoke ghost’s strange abilities in battle.

Although the smoke ghost believed Su’en’s words and walked out without any defenses, in fact, this old cunning guy had habitual defensive measures.

The smoke constantly lingering behind him served as cover, with a similar ability to “refract illusions”.

You see a person right in front of you, but their actual specific location is not there.

It’s like a fish in clear water. If you stab the harpoon according to its shadow, you will definitely miss.

This is very practical in battle. Even if the enemy aims at his heart, after firing, they will find that they missed or hit a non-lethal area.The smoke was so thick that it could confuse the perception of any professional.

So, just now, Su’en only predicted the approximate position of the smoke ghost with that slash.

Being able to cut off an arm was already a good result. (Don’t ask why he didn’t cut horizontally, a wide horizontal slash would undoubtedly result in a backlash)

…….

With just one blow, the smoke ghost’s arm was severed. In addition to anger, he also felt a strong sense of fear.

In the moment when Su’en revealed his killing intent, he truly felt the threat of death.

Looking at the eerie and grotesque runes floating around Su’en, as well as the black scythe in his hand, the smoke ghost dared not easily show himself in the smoke, for fear of being struck again.

“How did you get the Night Reaper’s Scythe of Sopnos?”

A voice echoed from all directions, like an echo in a valley, making it impossible to pinpoint his location.

Su’en looked at him with a smirk and coldly said, “Why don’t you guess?”

In his perception, that “malice” also spread out, as if it appeared from all directions.

The mist could conceal all traces of his existence.

A very troublesome ability.

A cold laugh came from the smoke, “Hehe… so what if you have it? You just made one slash, but if you try to make a second one, the curse backlash will immediately take your life!”

The smoke ghost thought that Su’en didn’t know about the curse of the black scythe, so he specially reminded him.

“Oh?”

Su’en smiled indifferently, showing his white teeth, and sarcastically asked, “Do you dare to come out and try if I can make a second slash?”

The smoke ghost was right.

The curse backlash is directly related to the user’s physical strength. The body of an ordinary person is much weaker than that of a rune zombie. If two slashes are made in succession, there is a high probability of instant death.

But the smoke ghost didn’t know that Su’en had precise control over the power of the spatial rift.

The previous slash was close enough, and the wound was not large, so the backlash would be much smaller than in the underground cave.

If the damage calculation was correct, he estimated that he could make at least four or five slashes before triggering an immediate backlash.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was no sound from the smoke.

The smoke ghost didn’t dare to gamble with his own life.

Moreover, he didn’t need to show himself to kill.

“Why… Mr. Sambu doesn’t dare to show himself?”

Su’en continued to provoke with his words.

Both of them chose to engage in verbal warfare at this time, each with their own purpose.

Su’en wanted to make the enemy speak, exposing more flaws and locking in his position.

And the cunning smoke ghost, who was afraid to show himself with the black scythe in his hand, spoke to cover up his “invisible killer move”.

The smoke around them became denser and denser, seemingly only affecting their vision, but actually hiding a deadly threat.

Su’en looked at the anomalies on the data panel and sneered in his heart. He calmly took out the “Plague Doctor’s Crow Mask” he had before and put it on his face.

Because… there is a special fire poison in this mist that even a gas mask cannot filter!

Seeing Su’en suddenly take out the gas mask and put it on, the smoke ghost also realized that his methods had been seen through.

Originally, he had some contempt in his heart, after all, his fire poison was a mixed injury spell of smoke and technique, which ordinary gas masks couldn’t filter.

But looking at the special crow-shaped mask, the smoke ghost immediately exclaimed in surprise, “Is this Sergei’s crow mask?”

Then, he immediately realized something, and a shocked voice came from the smoke, “Did you kill Sergei?”

“Yeah… Mr. Smoke Ghost, it will be your turn soon.”

Su’en continued to provoke, and through the emotional fluctuations just now, he roughly determined the smoke ghost’s position.

But as soon as he gripped the black blade, that guy disappeared again.

Several eerie dolls were also wandering around him. Once they found an opportunity, he would not hesitate to swing his blade.

At this time, Su’en continued to stimulate him, saying, “I’m also curious, how did you become a member of the Umbrella Organization… Mr. Mole?”

A contemptuous laughter came from the smoke, guessing Su’en’s thoughts, “Hehe… you want to anger me?”

Now the fog has filled the entire alley, no one will come in, and the sound cannot escape.

He knew that as long as he didn’t show himself, he would undoubtedly die!

When smart people compete, victory or defeat lies in the details. Now it’s about who can remain calm.

Su’en looked at the increasingly dense smoke around him and said, “Oh? Do you think that if you don’t show yourself, the fire poison will definitely kill me?”

The smoke ghost responded contemptuously, “Haven’t you already felt it?”

“Hehe…”

A sinister smile gradually appeared in Su’en’s eyes.

He had indeed felt the damage from the fire poison.

Looking at his own skin, the burning sensation was intensely piercing his nerves. This was a severe pain that ordinary people could hardly bear.

This dense white smoke not only burned the heart and lungs, but could also seep into the pores. In just a moment, Su’en felt a scorching sensation on his skin. His skin gradually dried up and heated up, slowly turning into the charred yellow color of burnt tree bark, and then into a layer of burnt ashes.

Without the smoke ghost taking action, if this continued, he would be burned to death.

And now more members of the Umbrella Organization were coming, he couldn’t afford to delay, he had to force the smoke ghost to make a move!

Originally, he still had some concerns, but now it seemed that he had no choice. Su’en took out a green syringe, glanced at it, and decisively stabbed it into his own neck.In the smoke, the Smoky Phantom saw what was happening and let out a cold laugh, “Healing potion? Haha… You underestimate my ‘Ash Poison’.”

Su’en tilted his head and injected the potion, a cool sensation immediately rushed to his forehead.

The smirk on his face was increasingly inscrutable, he mocked with a dismissive tone, “Oh… is that so?”

Because he could see his own data panel, he had thoroughly tested the healing data of various healing potions.

He was also very clear that even the best potion in his hand could not offset the continuous stacking of fire burns.

But as soon as this potion was injected, a miraculous scene occurred.

The skin on Su’en’s body that had just been scorched and dried was slowly healing!

Moreover, as if the healing amount was overflowing, his whole body was flowing with a majestic life force, completely offsetting the burning damage of the fire poison.

“Huh…”

Upon seeing this, a light exclamation came from the smoke.

Obviously, the Smoky Phantom also found it incredible and asked, “What kind of potion is this?”

“Do you want to know?”

Su’en felt that his current state was excellent, he grinned provocatively, “Too bad, I’m not telling you.”

However, after the violent energy healed the injury, it did not stop. Like a breached dam, it initially moistened the soil like a spring, then it was a violent flood, rampaging through his meridians and muscles. It seemed to want to destroy everything and reshape the chaos.

So this is what the “Mutation Precursor” feels like?

Su’en felt the sensation of a balloon about to burst, teetering on the brink of life and death.

But it was also within his expectations. He calmly injected another potion into his neck. The cool sensation poured into his brain, and the feeling of explosion was instantly suppressed.

Good.

What Su’en injected was not a common potion, but the [x Serum] and [Mutation Suppression Potion]!

The serum would transform his body, causing his cell activity to skyrocket several times in a very short time, greatly enhancing his self-healing ability.

Although it couldn’t reach the level of that “Abhorrent Warrior”, it seemed to be enough to resist the fire poison.

……

The serum only had a 75% success rate, but Su’en couldn’t afford to hesitate at this critical moment.

Now the Smoky Phantom was obviously stalling for time, if he continued to delay, even if Su’en could kill him, he would not be able to escape the city.

Moreover, he had another plan for injecting the “x Serum”.

He had already used the Black Scythe once, and the backlash would appear in an hour.

Although the wound wouldn’t be large, if he wanted to be safe, his best choice would be to find a skilled doctor to save his life, like Danny on Green Street.

But!

He was currently being hunted and had to leave the city, so he had no chance to wait for treatment.

And to kill the Smoky Phantom, he would need at least one more strike!

By the time the curse of the two scythes backlash, his situation would be very bad.

So, he came up with this “fight poison with poison” method.

The super recovery ability brought by the “x Serum” could allow him to preserve his life to the greatest extent after a sudden wound appeared.

The serum could not only solve the current fire poison problem but also solve the hidden danger of backlash.

A 75% success rate was enough for him to make a decision.

Moreover.

After injecting the potion, Su’en had the confidence to fight back!
