Alone and Infinite

Both of them were technically skilled experts. After being transformed into the Abyss, Zabuza showed no fear or emotional fluctuations, only the most insane desire for destruction and the purest killing intent.

"understood!"

Awoo shrank back again, sensing that the brief pause between the two was not just a matter of adjusting their rhythm.

They are still building up their strength, using the thrill of previous battles and life-or-death situations to continuously improve their spirit and energy, in order to get closer to that purest point.

The decapitation blade cleaved through the pool of blood on the ground, and a wide, black-red slash detached from the blade.

The spear in Li Xia's hand also drew a graceful arc in front of him.

The white slash, which was significantly more solid than the high-speed slash, also detached from the spear blade.

The two energy strikes collided and produced a loud sound similar to the collision of metal.

Zabuza suddenly let out a wild laugh, stomping heavily on the ground and leaving deep footprints.

The large sword in his hand dragged across the ground, leaving deep marks.

His free left hand moved so fast it was almost a blur, and a huge amount of black water spewed out from Zabuza's mouth.

Waterfalls typically form massive, surging waves that have a wide reach.

A sense of vigilance suddenly arose in Li Xia's heart. Although the scene was grand, it was easy to dodge this move.

What is the second move?

With the massive waves already close at hand, Li Xia had no time to think and leaped into the air.

The decapitation sword suddenly emerged from the water, but could only futilely glide past Li Xia's feet.

Hidden underwater?

The warning signs in Li Xia's heart grew stronger, and the misfortune at his waist let out a joyful 'roar'.

wrong!

The world before my eyes had turned black and white, and a figure quietly appeared above my head.

How did you do it?

The decapitation blade slashed down with terrifying force.

Li Xia drew his gun to block, but how could heavy weapons be so easily defended against?

Amidst the astonished gazes of the roaring crowd, Li Xia, like a cannonball, crashed into the still-undraining black tide from the sky at incredible speed.

The water column shot into the sky, but then the water flow seemed to come alive and began to spin wildly.

Four figures emerged from the water; they were clearly four water clones.

They stretched out their hands and pressed them into a giant water sphere.

Water prison technique?

Oh no! Awoo's heart tightened. Of course he knew about the infamous Water Prison Technique, and he had even studied it before when he learned that his opponent was Zabuza.

Even the leader himself said that although the Water Prison Technique is a low-level ninjutsu, if used properly, it can turn the tide of battle.

Not to mention that the current Water Prison spell also has the Abyss trait.

"Splash splash splash"

Several Zabuzas vanished into water droplets, leaving only one figure maintaining the operation of the water prison.

Zabuza once again formed a hand seal, and a brand new water clone separated from his body.

He picked up the decapitation sword.

"You are strong"

An obscure and incomprehensible voice came from Zabuza's mouth, but the clone's movements did not stop at all.

Just as the broadsword slashed horizontally towards the interior of the water sphere, the enormous water sphere suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

impossible!

Even Zabuza, now in the Abyss, still felt a slight shock.

Water prison technique.

The water sphere seemed to suddenly transform into a sea urchin, its once smooth surface now churning with water before finally exploding with a deafening roar.

Li Xia was panting heavily when he flipped his hand over and a black pill appeared in his palm.

As soon as the secret medicine entered his mouth, he felt a warm current emanating from his chest, which instantly spread throughout his body.

The fatigue lessened considerably, and even the slowly declining health points instantly increased significantly.

The dragon scales on its body had become dull, and large patches of damage had appeared in many places.

Even his body, which looked as if it had been cast from refined iron, was covered with large patches of festering sores.

The moment Li Xia swallowed the secret medicine, Ye Ji appeared in his hand. Zabuza's pupils shrank, and he leaped behind his clone.

At the same time, his hands quickly formed a hand seal, which Li Xia, who had seen it once before, immediately recognized.

The water has stopped flowing? Are you trying to force me out?

A fierce glint flashed in Li Xia's eyes as he thrust his spear straight forward.

The water clone raised its broadsword and held it horizontally in front of it, like a shield. But Ye Ji seemed to have come to life, its spear tip trembling as it drew silver arcs, once again cleverly bypassing the blade and piercing through the hole in the broadsword.

Li Xia roared and suddenly shook his arms holding the gun forcefully.

As this extremely explosive force traveled from both hands to the gun, Night Silence let out a buzzing sound.

The straight gun barrel bounced, first violently swerving outwards, then, with astonishing resilience, rebounding even faster.

The spear miraculously bypassed the clone as if it were turning a corner, and the trembling spear tip suddenly appeared in front of Zabuza.

Zabuza, who was about to complete the hand seals, stared in astonishment at the spear that seemed to bend like a snake. He hurriedly tried to retreat, but it was too late.

"Pfft"

The spear pierced through the shoulder blade with some difficulty, and then Li Xia slid forward and slammed his shoulder into the water clone.

The highly corrosive water directly submerged his body, leaving only wisps of smoke rising from his body, which had just begun to recover.

The original wound was soaked, revealing large patches of festering flesh, with bright red blood flowing down the body.

But he seemed oblivious, and a blazing white flame rose from his retracted left fist, which then grabbed Zabuza's other shoulder.

With his thumb gripping the bone like an iron hook, Li Xia raised his head, revealing a somewhat eerie smile on his festering face.

His left foot twisted a small vortex in the ground, scattering dirt everywhere, and an incredibly powerful force was transmitted from the ground.

Li Xia leaped up, his bent knee slamming into Zabuza's chest, the fine cracking of bones mingling with the dull thud of the impact.

Even so, Zabuza's face remained completely calm.

A fierce glint appeared in his scarlet eyes as well. He suddenly puffed out his cheeks and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Li Xia did not dodge, letting the bullet hit his left eye, and in an instant the world before his eyes turned blood red.

The excruciating pain in his left eye made half of his head throb violently, as if struck by a heavy blow.

He gripped Zabuza's left arm tightly, pulling him down from mid-air after being sent flying by a knee strike, and then stomped down mercilessly on Zabuza's ankle with his raised right foot.

With another crisp snapping sound, Zabuza's left foot was twisted in a strange way and deeply crushed into the soil.

His free right fist struck the shattered chest cavity like a heavy hammer, sharp bone fragments piercing the skin, the bone fragments, strengthened by the abyss, gleaming with a metallic dark light.

It effortlessly pierced Li Xia's already festering right fist.

Aowu was stunned. It wanted to rush out, but remembering Li Xia's order not to make a move, it forcibly restrained itself.

He watched the two people in the arena with anxiety and worry.

Zabuza's mask was already rotten. He opened his mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and bit down hard on Li Xia's neck.

However, the elbow strike deflected its direction, forcing it to bite down on the shoulder as well.

Li Xia roared and slammed his left foot heavily onto the ground, the surging, violent power extending from his left foot all the way to his right fist.

'Boom! '

His right fist, burning with pure white flames, pierced straight through Zabuza's chest.

Zabuza's body trembled violently, his crimson eyes gradually dimmed, and the shoulder he had been gripping tightly slowly loosened.

Li Xia slowly withdrew his arm, watching Zabuza fall backward, the Hall of Light's notification arriving belatedly:

[Executioner, you have successfully killed Zabuza Momochi!]

[Executioner, the hidden side quest 'Execution Mission' has been completed!]

You have earned 3 regular medals!

It was over. Li Xia's tense mind suddenly relaxed, and her body couldn't help but sway slightly, but she eventually steadied herself.

Just then, layers of light suddenly surged from Zabuza's body.

Chapter 265 Terrifying Combat Intelligence

The strange movement of Zabuza's corpse not only sent a chill down the spine of the charging Awoo, but even Li Xia, with his strong will, felt a chill run down his spine.

Could it be Phase Two?

Considering the Sword Demon's fully enhanced second phase, if Zabuza really does have a second phase...

I'm afraid I really will have to die here.

Li Xia then leaped a distance, and with a flick of his wrist, the Senzu Bean appeared in his hand.

Although the effects of Tier 3 Senzu Beans are not as powerful as those of Tier 2, they are still arguably the most powerful recovery item in Li Xia's possession.

It can instantly restore 80% of injuries and the same amount of health, and even restore stamina, which is something other drugs cannot do.

Li Xia reached out, and the Night Silence, still stuck in the corpse, hummed and transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning that flew back into his hand.

At the same time, he endured the excruciating pain, his muscles tense, staring intently at the corpse on the ground.

Before long, the light emanating from Zabuza's corpse slowly condensed into a small bundle.

Treasure chest?

No, it doesn't look like a treasure chest.

Li Xia frowned as he looked at the palm-sized bundle. He remembered that the Abyss Apostles didn't seem to drop treasure chests.

Because anything on them is like a virus, the Temple of Light will simply eliminate them all, just like eliminating viruses.

But... I think everything's alright now.

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and with a flick of her hand, Ye Ji disappeared.

"Totally dead."

As my mind suddenly relaxed, all the pain and fatigue that I had been forcibly suppressing came rushing back.

Li Xia swayed twice, looked around, and saw that the original vegetation and houses had all disappeared.

Zabuza's Water Release: Great Waterfall technique was already quite terrifying in terms of impact.

In addition, its intense corrosiveness completely wiped out the flooded areas.

It's even difficult to find something to sit down.

"Boss, something new!"

Awoo had already grabbed the small package floating on Zabuza's corpse and rushed over.

Li Xia glanced at it and found that it was indeed a treasure chest, but a very strange one.

[Small portions of loot]

[Effect: Opening this will grant you a modest reward.]
