Alone and Infinite

Chapter 176 Li Xia VS Dragon Strike General!

Li Xia never felt too much pressure in the Monster Hunter world.

Only Nergigante and Tempered Kirin had ever given him the sense of danger of dancing on a blade.

Now, standing before the Dragon Strike General, a being hailed as a "King-level" creature surpassing even a nine-star ancient dragon.

He finally felt deeply that death was descending silently like the night, looming over him.

Even though Dragon Strike is in a damaged state, its attributes are still terrifying.

The brief yet deadly description of its abilities, and its enormous size...

His gaze lingered on the health and energy values ​​displayed on the Dragon Strike panel for a moment.

If it is a fully healed and undamaged Dragon Strike General

Li Xia rejected the idea, but even so, the situation was still far from optimistic.

The best approach is to probe first and gather some intelligence.

It remains to be seen how long 35% of the energy can sustain the Dragonstrike campaign!

The battle strategy was determined without any warning.

"Whoosh!"

Li Xia exerted a little force with his legs, and his whole body 'splashed' out.

The uneven ground did not hinder him in the slightest.

A figure moved with the speed of a galloping horse, leaving a long trail of dust in its wake.

The spear hummed softly, like a serpent emerging from its hole.

"Woo!"

Two enormous "wing blades" came swiftly and fiercely slashing from the left and right sides with a terrifying whistling sound.

After the thin membrane wings contracted, they exhibited a metallic luster, with incredibly sharp edges.

Before the blade even reached them, a fierce wind had already swept in.

The shockwaves generated by the twin blades blew away debris and rubble on both sides, while also ruffling the stray hairs on Li Xia's forehead.

The timing of this strike was exquisite, slashing at the point where Li Xia's full-force thrust had just ended and new strength had not yet arisen.

At this critical moment.

Li Xia's gaze sharpened, and the long spear he was holding actually retracted.

He suddenly took a few steps back.

A feint!

While he was in mid-air, the tips of the twin blades grazed his chest with the finest precision, as if they could have cut him into three pieces if they had gone a few inches further.

But just a few inches short, it could only generate tremendous wind pressure, pushing Li Xia back a few more steps.

Dragon Strike General reacted quickly, and his speed was equally impressive.

Li Xia quickly recorded the intelligence he had just gathered in his mind.

The control panel is just an aid; many things can only be truly understood and appreciated through hands-on experience.

And most importantly.

Current energy level: 35%

Li Xia's heart sank. It touched itself, transformed, and swung to attack, yet it didn't even consume 1% of its energy.

The power source isn't some kind of supernatural contraption like a nuclear reactor, is it?

After his powerful swing of the twin swords missed its mark, Long Jijiang's arms crossed in an embracing posture.

opportunity!

A glint flashed in Li Xia's eyes, and he raised his left hand.

Light condensed at his fingertips, and a beam of light about the thickness of a pencil instantly pierced through space and struck Dragon Strike General's chest.

Dragon Strike's large head gleamed silver, as if he were wearing a helmet, giving it an impressive defensive capability.

On the contrary, there was no armor on their bodies.

As the Dongdong Wave burned, wisps of blue smoke rose from Long Jijiang's chest.

The tentative hole wave of 10 points of true qi will not last for too long.

Li Xia lowered his fingers, his gaze fixed on the spot he had just struck.

All that could be seen was a charred black patch on Long Jijiang's chest, with a faint glint of silver light visible beneath the skin.

No, there are also metallic structures under the skin!

"Black Charcoal, help me record this! Let's test Dragon Strike General's reaction speed."

Li Xia took a deep breath and spoke in the team channel.

Black Charcoal's Dexterity is 15 points, which is 4 points lower than his own, but Li Xia has done the test.

Due to differences in body structure, Black Charcoal's reaction speed is faster than its own, but its attack ability is rather weak.

Therefore, having Hei Tan record the data for you will only make the results more accurate!

"Meow!"

Then

Seeing that Long Jijiang had crouched down slightly in preparation for his charge, Li Xia moved first.

First, it rushed forward at high speed to the left, then suddenly changed direction and turned back, making a zigzag movement.

This unexpected turn of events interrupted Long Jijiang's subsequent attack. It raised its head, its bright yellow eyes darting back and forth, trying to pinpoint Li Xia's location.

Black Charcoal held up his high-powered goggles, staring intently into the Dragon Slayer's eyes, while his other eye simultaneously monitored the digital time display on the goggles.

After repeating this twice, it immediately sent the message in the team channel:

"Between 0.05s and 0.03s!"

Lacking professional equipment, it is quite remarkable that they can obtain a rough range simply by using the way the dragon strikes to turn the pupils.

Li Xia's spirits lifted; his current reaction time limit was approximately 0.04s - 0.03s.

At least in close combat, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage!

Moreover, this is only the time it takes for the pupils to turn; the response of the muscles throughout the body will only be slower!

Li Xia, who had been making zigzag turns, suddenly changed direction again, but this time it was not in the opposite direction, but straight towards Long Jijiang.

The distance of tens of meters was quickly closed with just two steps on the ground.

When Long Ji was ten meters in front of him, the true qi in his body fluctuated violently.

Afterimage punch!

He then leaped up and charged straight at Long Jijiang's face.

The twin blades whizzed past, shredding the afterimage into dust, and the Dragon Strike caused those enormous, bright yellow snake eyes to freeze involuntarily for a moment.

They seemed to be trying to understand this strange scene.

But Li Xia wouldn't give him time to react!

"laugh!"

The spear transformed into two streaks of silver light the instant it was thrust out.

The fundamental skills I've never let go of have finally paid off at this moment.

"Pfft!"

The stillness of the night pierced his eyes without hesitation, and the white light covering the spear instantly surged, tearing his bowl-sized eyeball into a hole.

But the second thrust was slower than the first.

The Dragon Striker, like a steel monster devoid of pain, calmly turned its head, completely disregarding its already gaping left eye.

The tip of the gun grazed the eyeball in the still night, leaving only a mark.

Li Xia secretly lamented his misfortune. If he could pierce both eyeballs at the same time, it would probably give him a lot of advantageous time.

The twin blades once again swung upwards with a terrifying whistling sound.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, flipping over the other side's head.

Night silence pierced through Li Xia silently as he faced the back of the head, in an unconventional way.

The gleaming gun tip struck the unprotected area with remarkable precision.

With a grip as tough as old cowhide, Li Xia roared and Ye Ji finally managed to pierce through with difficulty.

With just this one move, Dragon Strike let out an unprecedented roar.

A surge of power rose from within him.

Li Xia only had time to push the spear forward a little more before being pushed far away by the immense force.

In the field of vision, the health bar, which had remained stable as if it would never decrease, finally trembled twice and disappeared by 9%.

As Li Xia activated his aerial flight technique, his figure seemed to be paused, abruptly stopping in mid-air during his backward flight.

It then landed slowly.

These movements, though seemingly complicated, were actually extremely fast.

The observers inside the cave were completely stunned.

From her perspective, her companions rushed forward, and then retreated.

The monster inexplicably lost sight in one eye and started hacking at its own head with a knife like a mad dog.

The observer initially thought the monster wanted to end its own life and couldn't help but clench his fists to see the blood flow like a river.

But unexpectedly, the knife stopped right in front of his forehead.

"Meow (So strong!)"

Unlike the observer, Dettel, being a fellow cat, saw everything clearly.

Because it saw it clearly, it understood what the man had accomplished in such a short time.

Is it really possible for it to be this powerful?

It couldn't help but daydream about being that strong.

Does that mean I'll never have to be afraid of those horrible monsters again?

Does that mean the tribe no longer lacks food?

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Xia's forehead, gathered together, and slid down her face under the influence of gravity.

Moreover, the thin layer of sweat on the body evaporates rapidly due to the high body temperature.

It turned into wisps of green smoke, drifting straight upwards.

His chest heaved violently like a bellows.

The intense psychological pressure and frantic mental activity are undoubtedly a huge drain on physical strength.

Before he could catch his breath, he was horrified to see Long Ji suddenly plunge a knife straight into the ground.

Then he extended his index finger, inserted it directly into his eye socket, rotated it once, and pried out the residue.

A large amount of strange liquid was squeezed out of his eye sockets as he moved.

Long Ji stared at Li Xia with his dark, hollow eye sockets and single eye.

Li Xia took a breath and felt her lips were a little dry.

This boss is incredibly intimidating!

However, his gaze shifted slightly.

Energy: 34%

Ultimately, the energy level decreased slightly.
