Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 197 Rescue Strategy
The ground beneath his feet began to churn again, the earth and trees surging like waves, and No. 58 rose from the ground on the back of the turtle demon.

Xia Shou teleported to Su Weiyu's side, took the Tongziqi from Su Weiyu, and then teleported again, approaching No. 58.

Since you can't cut it directly with supernatural powers, use physical attacks!

"Do you think you can win in close combat?" No. 58 laughed.

In an instant, a massive amount of invisible slashes broke out, like a tsunami-like storm, chopping Xia Shou into a bloody man.

If an ordinary person were to endure this attack, he would be cut into a pool of blood in just a moment, but Xia Shou's injuries were reduced by [1CM wound surface], and he only lost a one-centimeter-thick layer of skin on the surface of his body.

Doujiqiri fell instantly and chopped straight off No. 58's right shoulder. The alloy bones offered huge resistance, but Doujiqiri's sharp blade still cut through those alloy bones one by one. Until the blade penetrated into the opponent's chest, No. 58 grabbed the blade with his only remaining hand and stopped the knife's momentum.

"Don't be fooled. All the owners of Merlin's House eventually became doors... Do you think that only legendary mythical creatures are locked behind those doors?" No. 58 held Tong Ziqi tightly and stared at him with a sneer, "No one is an exception! No one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a storm of slashing attacks even more violent than before came towards him and enveloped Xia Shou.

The mirror robe was cut into pieces, and Xia Shou could feel his flesh peeling off from his bones, and his body became lighter and lighter...

The scene in front of him changed, and Xia Shou returned to the moment when he launched his suicide mission. Wuyin Goro and Ling Xiao were still standing in front of him, and Su Weiyu stayed beside him, ready to take action at any time.

Xia Shou blinked and looked at the depth in his left eye: 1532 meters.

There is no noticeable change in depth.

So what about the residue swallowed by the shadow?

The amount of residue did not decrease either.

Xia Shou came to a conclusion in his mind: "It seems that the priority of the backtracking of the self-destructive path is higher than that of the second self. If there is a chance to rewind in the self-destructive path, even if you die, the backtracking will be activated before the second self."

this is a good news.

Xia Shou has always been worried about what he would do if he died while using the Self-Destruction Technique. After all, every time I awaken in the second book, I have to pay a huge price, both consuming residue and absorbing blood.

If death in the state of self-destruction will awaken the second self, then it is equivalent to increasing the cost of using self-destruction in disguise.

Now, it turns out that the self-destructive path starts faster than the second self.

"What I am going to say now is very important. Don't interrupt me until I finish." Xia Shou spoke first.

No. 102 frowned slightly, looking displeased, but did not argue. She stared straight at Xia Shou, waiting for what to say next.

Kirigakure Goro leaned against the tree trunk in silence, his expression serious, his eyes seemed to have noticed something.

"We must rescue Baihe now. In this battle, the gap between the two of them is not that big. If we can formulate appropriate tactics, we have a chance of winning. But if we leave it alone, Baihe will die in battle soon. I don't think the remaining people can deal with No. 58." Xia Shou said.

"Is there a chance of winning?" No. 102 sneered, "He's a demon agent..."

Wu Lang interrupted 102's pessimistic argument and asked directly: "What is your strategy?"

"No. 58 has many powerful demons assisting him, but his own body is not that strong. If we can close the distance and drag him into close combat, our chances of winning will be much greater. He is only LV2, so many of his attacks will be effective."

No. 102 rejected it immediately: "It's impossible to succeed. Even if you don't talk about the other demons, the demons he usually drives to slash through the air will not let you get close. And even if you get close, his body is not so easy to destroy, at least it is difficult to destroy it with supernatural powers."

"Why?" Ling Xiao asked. "Although the abnormality level of No. 58 is only LV2, it does not mean that his body is really only LV2.

Don't forget that he is an artificial human. The alloy skeleton in his body uses the third-level relic [simulated implantable skeleton], which has considerable physical strength. It can also form a "field" in the body to isolate the interference of extraordinary forces like a Faraday cage isolates electric current, and it cannot be affected by supernatural powers.

This is exactly where his strength lies. Otherwise, with just his level 2 abnormality, he would be easily killed instantly."

No. 102 said this and looked in the direction of Yuezhuo Village.

Xia Shou suddenly realized, and a doubt in his mind was resolved.

When he saw the battle damage on No. 58, he was very curious as to why his body was covered with cube-shaped cuts from the Rubik's Cube, but his body was not torn to pieces by the Rubik's Cube.

Now he knew that it was because Bai He could not turn the opponent's whole body and could only operate on the artificial flesh and blood covering the skeleton.

Obviously, Baihe's attack was in vain.

But this time, he had a solution.

"That alloy bone can be cut with this knife." General Xia stretched out his hand to Su Weiyu.

Goro was very calm when he saw the Doujikiri appearing out of thin air in Xia Shou's hand. He was puzzled by the blood streaks on the Doujikiri blade. "It is true that the Doujikiri can be cut! But is the Doujikiri originally like this? What are these blood streaks?"

"Fat brother, can you use ninjutsu to assassinate him? Like the last time you turned into mist and went behind Bai brother."

"We have to be close enough, and that move is not as convenient as you think. I probably can't kill him in one go. I can probably only chop him with one blow." Goro objectively estimated his own abilities.

"That's enough." Xia Shou said, "We don't need to kill No. 58, we just need to save Brother Bai. You just need to create the opportunity, and I'll take care of the rest."

……

……

"You hid it really well. I wonder if everyone in the three departments is the same as you?" No. 58 stretched out two fingers and waved them forward lightly.

The invisible slash cut through the air, making a whistling sound, and a straight cut appeared in the air distorted by the high temperature.

The direction of this slash was changed while it was flying towards Baihe. As the Rubik's Cube twisted the direction of space, the slash was deflected to the open space on the side, just like the reflection of moonlight.

The burning tavern on the street was split in two, and one or two villagers hiding in the distance were also affected and cut in half by the blow.

"Damn it! It's coming, stay away!"

The villagers quickly treated the wounded, reducing the pain of their companions, and then looked for a new place to watch the battle.

Bai He was panting, his eyes wide open, not daring to blink.

"Your cursed power is almost exhausted. Before I kill you, let me tell you a secret. My mission is not to explore Moonburn Village, but... to kill all of you." No. 58 said coldly.

He raised his hand and hooked his palm upwards, and a turtle with a bull's head emerged under his feet.

"Since you are good at manipulating space like this... then I will just let you trap yourself to death."
