Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 264 Killing Zabuza!
A faint, blood-red mist permeated the village, which was littered with corpses and pools of blood.

The moist sea breeze occasionally sweeps across the island, causing wisps of mist to drift along with it.

Like seaweed swaying in the ocean currents.

As the mist flowed past the two of them, they were pulled back by an inexplicable force.

The fabric, as light and weightless as white gauze, wrapped around their bodies in layers.

In Aowu's view, the mist, tinged red by the blood, seemed to emanate from the two people's bodies.

At the moment when the momentum reached its peak, the mist exploded with a roar.

The two figures charged towards each other, the shockwave from their clashing weapons dispersing all the mist and clearing the view.

Night Silence seemed to come alive in Li Xia's hands, blooming into illusory shadows in front of him.

The gleaming spearheads silently pierced out from various bizarre angles.

Zabuza held his guillotine sword upright in front of him; the extremely wide blade resembled a shield.

"Ding ding ding ding ding"

The spear tip and the blade collided, producing a series of rapid clanging sounds, with sparks flying everywhere, flickering in mid-air.

No matter how unpredictable Li Xia's spear was, Zabuza only needed to move slightly to block it with his broad blade.

Even though the decapitation sword had already developed fine puncture marks under the extremely sharp spear blade of the Night Silence.

Neither of them took it seriously. The Executioner's Blade was the most famous ninja sword in Kirigakure, possessing the characteristic of being able to repair itself as long as it was stained with blood.

There were large pools of blood all around, and just a little bit of it could repair the damage.

The current situation has clearly become a classic case of a spear hitting a shield.

In particular, shield-wielding enemies are agile enough that they cannot use left and right sidesteps to change their attack angle to break through the shield.

Li Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and the muscles in his arm holding the spear bulged high the instant he gripped the spear and pulled it back.

The highly resilient gun barrel bent into an arc shape and slammed down on Zabuza's forehead with terrifying force.

There was still no fluctuation in Zabuza's crimson eyes.

He pulled the knife backward with his right hand and supported the blade with his left hand, raising the broadsword above his head.

"when!"

Zabuza's feet suddenly sprang to life; the soil, soaked in blood, was exceptionally soft.

Their feet even sank deep into the mud, all the way up to their ankles.

opportunity!

"boom!"

The spear, which had been launched high into the air, was suppressed by the violent force, and Li Xia used the momentum to flip himself over.

Her body swayed gracefully like a dance, her hand holding the gun gliding across the barrel, thrusting out like a dragon emerging from its cave.

Back carbine!
"laugh!"

In an instant, the spear covered the distance between the two men and thrust out from the semi-circular notch of the decapitation sword.

A ripple finally appeared in Zabuza's eyes, and in that split second, he managed to turn his head away with difficulty.

The foul-smelling blood splattered, revealing a deep gash on his neck.

Li Xia roared and swung the spear that had just slashed open Zabuza's neck horizontally.

Even though there was very little room for Li Xia to exert his strength, with his power and the resilience of his spear...

That's enough to break a neck.

"Wow--"

Zabuza's body turned into a puddle of liquid once again, and a fierce glint flashed in Li Xia's eyes.

The spear continued its sweeping attack relentlessly, ignoring everything else.

Even if it's a water clone, it works on the same principle as the Substitution Technique; he can't run very far in this short time!
"when!"

Before Zabuza's body, which had transformed into a stream of water, could even land, his spear was once again blocked by the greatsword.

"Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The water tanks inside the houses and the reservoirs in the villages have gathered and condensed a large amount of water to form a lifelike water dragon.

The abyss chakra turned the originally transparent water dragon into an unsettling black.

Li Xia shifted his feet, leaped backward, and brandished his spear.

One after another, pale white slashes detached from the gun blade and flew with a whoosh toward the water dragon bullet.

wow-

The entire venue looked as if it had been rained on, with the water jets that had been split apart turning into countless water droplets that fell from the sky.

The highly corrosive raindrops turned everything in their path into a disgusting, viscous, foamy liquid.

Dark raindrops fell on Li Xia's body and slid down along the fine dragon scales.

Although the raindrops are indeed highly corrosive, these scattered raindrops are absolutely no match for the already resilient lava pangolin.

The scorching dragon scales evaporated the water droplets, and wisps of sour, foul-smelling steam rose into the air.

Pity.
Li Xia calmed the trembling in her muscles and regulated her breathing to be even.

The previous counterattack, due to the angle, could only pierce the notch in the decapitation blade.

He looked at Zabuza, who was covering his neck with one hand. Such an injury would probably be a troublesome problem for an ordinary person.

However, for Zabuza, who was already half-abyssal, it was only considered a minor injury.

Sure enough, when Zabuza lowered his hand from his neck, the wound that had looked quite frightening had grown black skin.

The opponent's combat experience was truly terrifying. Combined with fully enhanced ninjutsu and higher attributes than his own, it put Li Xia under immense pressure.

"Boss, do you need a three-pointed double-edged sword?"

Taking advantage of the air raid, and fearing that it might disturb Li Xia's roar, he finally had time to ask questions.

"No need, the issue now is not whether the damage is sufficient."

Li Xia replied briefly that both of them had considerable damage output and could finish off the opponent if they seized the opportunity.

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 massive torrent of black water gushed from Zabuza's mouth, forming a surging, waterfall-like wave with 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.
