Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's pupils contracted. Even someone like Kakashi Hatake couldn't kick the Counter Shield into pieces with one foot, but this woman did it effortlessly.

Was this woman's strength too terrifying? Su Xiao looked at her long and powerful legs. While they were indeed strong, they couldn't explain such an exaggerated display of power.

If it wasn't because of her immense strength, then there might be an issue with that heart-shaped psychic energy.

While Su Xiao was contemplating, dozens of heart-shaped psychic energies were rushing toward him. These heart-shaped psychic energies were fast, agile, and could hover in the air. Dodging them was almost impossible.

As dozens of heart-shaped psychic energies collided with the Counter Shield, they shattered upon impact. Su Xiao then struck the Counter Shield with his fist, creating numerous cracks before it ultimately shattered.

These heart-shaped psychic energies could significantly reduce defensive capabilities. Even a highly durable Counter Shield was weakened to this extent. If these heart-shaped psychic energies touched a human body, the outcome would be unimaginable. Perhaps the human body would become as fragile as glass.

Just as Su Xiao understood the enemy's ability, the woman, Dié, had already closed in.

"You're not bad," Dié commented as she raised her leg for a flying kick. She was wearing extremely short shorts, and this kick inevitably revealed a bit too much.

Although the kick wasn't very fast, Su Xiao's attention was subconsciously drawn to the woman's beautiful legs. It wasn't because he suddenly lost control, but due to Dié's captivating ability. While the Mind Blade could immunize him against her control skills, her charm skill level was too high, and he could only resist it with his willpower.

Hissing through the air, Su Xiao narrowly avoided the kick by moving his head to the side. However, a streak of blood appeared on his cheek as the heel of Dié's high heel shoe scraped across his face.

Don't underestimate Dié's kick; she unleashed an incredible burst of speed, comparable to Su Xiao's swift sword strikes. Moreover, her legs were enveloped in a large amount of psychic energy.

All of this was not the main point. The main point was that Dié excelled in control abilities, and close combat was just an auxiliary skill for her.

Under the suppression of the Second-Derivative World, it was astonishing to see Dié, a control-type contractor, engage in close combat with Su Xiao and not fall behind. This difference showcased the gap between Third and Second-Derivative Contractors.

After delivering the kick, Dié had exhausted her old strength and had not yet generated new strength, creating the perfect opening for a counterattack.

Su Xiao swung his sword toward Dié's leg, targeting her beautiful leg.

"Hard!"

A large amount of psychic energy wrapped around Dié's long leg, and Su Xiao's sword struck her small calf.

Ding!

The sword struck Dié's calf, but she used her psychic energy to harden it, withstanding Su Xiao's attack.

Having been struck once, Dié immediately shifted her weight, planting her other foot on the ground and flipping over. It didn't look as effortless as it seemed; a shallow bloodstain had appeared on her injured leg.

The cyan energy infiltrated Dié's body, and her blood vessels bulged on her face.

"This..."

Feeling the intense pain surging through her body and receiving combat information from the feedback of her reincarnation mark, Dié couldn't maintain her composure any longer.

"Subjected to an unknown energy erosion, you've lost 140 psychic energy."

"Subjected to an unknown energy erosion, you've taken 140 real damage, plus an additional 20 real damage (10% of psychic energy consumed), 23 slashing damage, and 35 cutting damage."

Seeing this lengthy series of notifications, Dié's expression changed repeatedly. Even as a Third-Derivative Contractor, she had never encountered such high single-instance real damage before.

"Is that sword... a growth-type weapon?"

Dié looked at Su Xiao's Dragon Slaying Flash, and her eyes gradually lit up.

"Indeed, this time it was correct to act alone without relying on Arson. I'll take this sword."

Psychic energy surged around Dié, and as she blew a kiss, heart-shaped psychic energies began to emerge.

"Stiff!"

Dié's body was suddenly enveloped by the surging psychic energy, forming a protective armor around her legs.

"Mind Shout..."

Dié formed a heart-shaped hand gesture with her hands and directed it at Su Xiao. She suddenly realized that he was immune to her control ability, despite her being a high-level control-type contractor. Mind Blade's ability to resist control skills was already impressive, but this persistent charm was something new for her.

Thinking about this, Dié felt somewhat speechless. She had encountered a level 30+ Swordmaster before, and she vividly remembered the unstoppable feeling of a long sword that came straight at her without any regard for control. She had nearly died at the hands of such an opponent.

If Su Xiao were a Third-Derivative Contractor, Dié would have immediately fled. However, since he was only a Second-Derivative Contractor, even though his abilities countered her, she believed she could still win.

At this moment, Su Xiao's expression did not look good. Third-Derivative Contractors were stronger than he had anticipated. If the information provided by his partner, No Umbrella, was correct, the strongest of the three high-level contractors had not even appeared yet.

Even so, this was an opportunity. This woman was likely the tracking and control member of the three-person team. If he killed her, even if Arson was powerful, he wouldn't be able to find Su Xiao. Su Xiao doubted that the Blood Oath Adventurers could track him down in every derivative world.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Xiao's gaze gradually became sharper as a new Counter Shield formed around him.

He swung his long sword, releasing a pale blue sword energy at Dié.

Dié waved her hand, and several heart-shaped psychic energies met the sword energy.

When the sword energy collided with the heart-shaped psychic energy, as expected, the psychic energy shattered. Dié's palm acted like a blade, striking the sword energy head-on.

Crackle!

Electric arcs surged as Su Xiao's sword energy splintered, and the heart-shaped psychic energy failed to touch the sword energy.

Before Dié could control the heart-shaped psychic energy to reach the sword and destroy it, Su Xiao had already taken the initiative to attack.

"You..."

Although Dié was somewhat "heartbroken," she still controlled the heart-shaped psychic energy to fly towards Dragon Slaying Flash.

Sizzle!

Electric arcs surged, the cyan energy on Dragon Slaying Flash scattered, and the heart-shaped psychic energy couldn't touch the blade of Dragon Slaying Flash.

Su Xiao's arm muscles bulged as he struck out with all his strength.

Bang!

This kick hit Dié's side, causing her curvaceous waist to bend inward.

Although Su Xiao had successfully hit her weak spot, he suddenly had a feeling of hair standing on end.

Seeing Dié's body shift like a flying Dié, she circled from in front of Su Xiao to behind him at a speed so fast it left afterimages.

More than a dozen heart-shaped psychic energies collided with the Counter Shield, and Dié quickly punched to break the shield.

Crackle!

The Counter Shield shattered, not because it was weaker than the heart-shaped psychic energy, but because there was an enormous gap in skill levels between Su Xiao and Dié.

After breaking the shield with one punch, Dié stood behind Su Xiao. She wrapped her arms around his waist, creating a soft embrace. He could even feel her full chest pressing against his back, causing it to deform.

This embrace was sensual yet equally deadly.

Dié's supple waist twisted backward, attempting to throw Su Xiao over her shoulder, and Su Xiao's head was about to hit the ground at high speed.

Boom!

Dust billowed, and Dié maintained her throwing posture. In her soft embrace, Su Xiao's body was arched backward, with his head pointing downward.

Kacha!

The sound of bones breaking could be heard. At this moment, Su Xiao's body was surrounded by an energy exoskeleton, which was formed by an energy shield, somewhat resembling Susanoo from the Uchiha clan.

"Sus... Susanoo? No, it's not!"

Initially shocked, Dié quickly realized that this was not Susanoo upon seeing the appearance of the energy exoskeleton.
