106: Chapter 106 A flash of red light, and six people are killed!

The moment the red light exploded.

Number Six had the fastest reaction.

He quickly spread his arms, and a translucent wave of air surged from before him, instantly condensing into a shield.

But it was useless.

The red light seemed alive; it permeated directly through the edges of the shield and seemed to be targeted.

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a violent explosion, all seven people were sent flying.

Even though Number Three and Number Four were the furthest away, they were actually the most severely affected by the blast.

They tumbled twice in the air, and before they even hit the ground, their bodies had already been severed in two.

Bright red blood exploded in the air, mixed with mushy organ tissue, which then quickly froze into ice pellets in the low temperature, pattering down onto the sea surface.

Number Six, who had resisted the fatal attack, landed on a piece of wreckage.

He barely managed to land on his knees, vomiting a mouthful of blood on the spot.

He then gritted his teeth, trying to stand up, and spread his arms again, attempting to re-condense the shield.

But just as the air wave was about to take shape, a whistling sound came from behind him.

Wen Yiran, who had originally been guarding the flank on the iceberg, used her grappling hook device to quickly swing to the side to launch a sneak attack.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Three armor-piercing crossbow bolts flew in from the flank.

Number Six didn't have time to dodge and could only desperately turn to the side.

Two arrows grazed his ribs, and the third pierced directly through his right arm.

"Ah!"

Number Six screamed, and his shield skill instantly dissipated.

He looked down at his arm.

The iron crossbow bolt had pierced straight through his humerus, the tip protruding from the other side, hung with fragments of flesh and bone.

Before he could even treat his wound, his vision suddenly dimmed, and a blood-red battle axe shadow appeared out of thin air in full view of everyone.

The next second, two severed arms flew into the air, still spinning.

Number Six stared blankly at his empty shoulders, watching blood gushing from the severed ends.

A few seconds later, he finally realized what had happened.

A shrill scream exploded over the sea.

Lin Xiao didn't even spare a glance at the person beneath him.

He swung his left arm violently, decapitating him, then turned around and scanned his surroundings.

At this moment, Tu Gang was standing on a piece of wreckage furthest away, the farthest from the center of the explosion, and also the least injured.

Number Two was lying on a nearby ship plank, seemingly having trouble with his legs, unable to jump very far, and was currently struggling to stand up.

As for Number Five and Number Six.

Number Six, having lost too much blood, was already done for and was slowly being killed by the low temperature.

Number Five had his leg blown off and was wailing while clutching his severed limb.

Lin Xiao's gaze finally landed on Tu Gang.

This man with a thick beard had higher reaction times and combat power than the others.

He lifted his foot, stepped onto a piece of shipwreck debris, and walked over.

...

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Tu Gang's eyes trembled in shock.

He was not a person who hadn't seen the world.

After more than thirty years of fighting in the underworld, from street brawls to surviving the apocalypse, he had seen more bloody scenes than the average person had eaten salt.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized one thing.

He might have messed with the wrong person!

Because this person's speed was impossibly fast; just seconds ago he was a hundred meters away, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of him.

Lin Xiao.

He held the dark red battle axe in his right hand and slightly raised his left hand.

Three steel blades popped out from the knuckle duster, gleaming with a cold light under the dim daylight.

Tu Gang's chest heaved violently, then he recalled the scene he had seen earlier.

That figure that was gradually dissipating!

This guy possessed a unique skill!

Thinking of this, Tu Gang no longer held back, immediately pulling out the scarecrow from his bosom to continue activating the Taunt skill.

But this time, two different tones came from his mouth.

The first tone was sharp and piercing, like the screech of some beast.

The Fissioners in the distance that had just lost their targets all turned their heads in unison to look at Lin Xiao.

And then quickly surrounded him.

Not charging over.

They dove directly into the water, approaching rapidly from beneath the sea surface, moving even faster than before.

The second tone was low and oppressive, like the gibberish of some eerie creature, causing Lin Xiao, who was about to swing his battle axe to attack, to suddenly freeze.

That sound drilled directly into his brain, causing his mind to go blank for a split second.

At the same time, the red-glowing battle axe blade slashed toward Number Two on the other side.

"Tu Gang, you f***ing..."

Tu Gang ignored his former teammate's spiteful gaze and, seeing Lin Xiao's action, curled his lips.

It worked!

He turned and ran toward the back, wanting to take the opportunity to return to the carriage.

But the next second, his smile froze on his face.

He suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain from his back.

He looked down.

And discovered that "heart-wrenching" was not just an adjective.

Three sharp steel blades had already pierced into his back and come out through his chest.

The blades were still hung with viscous, bright red liquid.

Tu Gang turned his head.

Lin Xiao was standing behind him, smiling brightly and cheerfully.

Truly cheerful.

That kind of smile looked like genuine happiness from the heart.

But the temperature radiating from those eyes was colder than the surrounding seawater.

"You, how did you..."

Tu Gang's voice was intermittent, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.

He had clearly seen Lin Xiao controlled by the skill!

Lin Xiao tilted his head slightly, a milky white halo slowly dissipating from his body surface.

[Dispel].

Skill effect: Quickly Dispel one negative status (poison, bleeding, slow, curse, etc.) from oneself or a single friendly target...

And it's an active skill!

Lin Xiao didn't give him time to think.

The steel blades sliced through the air, emitting a shrill whistle.

Tu Gang's body collapsed onto the wreckage, and his head rolled into the cold seawater.

Then, Lin Xiao turned around.

Number Two was still on that ship plank.

He was lying there, trembling all over, looking terrified.

But Lin Xiao noticed his eyes.

Those eyes were terrifyingly calm, not at all like someone facing a desperate situation of death.

Lin Xiao walked over and raised the heavy battle axe.

The moment the axe blade fell, Number Two suddenly raised his head, bit his finger, and tapped his forehead.

A blood-colored rune lit up on his forehead.

The axe blade struck Number Two's chest squarely.

But what happened next was not what he had imagined; his body wasn't split open, and flesh and blood didn't spill all over the ground.

Instead, Lin Xiao's body shook violently, and a sharp red light exploded from his own body.

The calamity bane trait [Coordinated Combat] activated, and the damage was shared.

Lin Xiao looked down at his chest.

The armor he had just repaired was instantly damaged.

This heavy battle axe had high attack power and came with multiple traits.

If it were an ordinary person, without a full set of Level 3 equipment and high Constitution attribute points, taking this hit would likely have resulted in instant death!

Number Two lay on the ship plank, spitting blood.

To activate this hidden skill just now, he had overdrawn quite a bit of his vitality.

But the corners of his mouth curled into an eerie smile.

That smile seemed to be saying: Didn't expect that, did you?

Lin Xiao lowered his eyes to look at the middle-aged man in front of him.

He also smiled.

As everyone knows, Lin Xiao possessed a passive skill.

[Bond · Beloved One]

The person he loves will provide him with a 5% damage bonus, 5% damage reduction, and a 5% movement speed boost.

And at this very moment, his damage reduction had already reached 15%!

The damage reflected back from the axe he had just struck Number Two with, after being blocked by his chest armor, then shared by the calamity bane trait, and finally reduced by 15%, the remainder...

Was not enough to make Lin Xiao fall.

It didn't even make him frown.

Number Two widened his eyes, looking at the man in front of him who was completely unscathed.

His lips trembled, wanting to say something.

But the red-glowing battle axe was raised again.

This time, the damage did not reflect.

The axe blade fell, and blood splattered.

Number Two's head rolled onto the ship plank, his eyes wide open, dying with a grievance.

Lin Xiao shook the blood off the battle axe, his eyes gloomy.

No.

The trait [Life Return] did not activate!

Not just this middle-aged man with a cone-shaped face.

Tu Gang, the one who used the shield, the one who drew the bow and shot arrows...

None of them triggered Life Return!
