Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 315 Fierce Battle

"Games? You're kidding me! Boss, get him!"

Suddenly, Xiaolong's voice came through the team chat:
"Boss, Black Charcoal and I have arrived and are lying in wait on the outskirts."

Li Xia held the spear horizontally in front of him, and with his left hand, he traced the center line of the spear down to the tip.

The golden sun halo on the back of his hand shimmered faintly.

A faint, pure white flame flickered gently on the blade of the gun.

The silence of the night danced a beautiful spear flower in mid-air, the white flames on the spear standing out brilliantly against the night sky.

He swung down just as fiercely, creating a gust of wind, the spear tip pointing diagonally at the ground.

"You continue to keep watch on the perimeter. If there are any cavalry, stop them. Be careful of the accompanying priests; their skills are very sneaky."

After giving instructions via the team channel, Li Xia looked at Scarborough on the opposite side.

"Crack!"

Scarpo gripped the hilt of his sword with his other hand and suddenly burst into a series of wild laughs.

He swung the greatsword wildly, and streaks of green sword light instantly filled his vision.

Li Xia's figure suddenly blurred as he swiftly charged towards Scarborough.

The path was left with a series of illusory figures of various shapes.

These figures were torn apart by the dense sword energy, yet they could not harm him in the slightest.

Koscapo, however, seemed completely unconcerned. The light in his scarlet eyes grew stronger and stronger until they became two astonishingly bright red dots.

The continuous stream of sword light suddenly stopped.

He laughed wildly again, raised his longsword high, and slashed it down fiercely to his side.

"This kind of petty trick is ridiculous!"

Li Xia's figure suddenly appeared where the longsword was slashing down, his eyes reflecting the approaching greatsword, yet he showed no panic whatsoever.

He gripped the butt of the gun with his right hand and thrust it out.

The long spear that moves in a straight line is faster than the greatsword that slashes downwards. Just as the blade is about to land on one's head, it hasn't actually started to strike yet.

But the sharpness of the blade seemed to travel through the air, even making Li Xia feel a faint, tingling sensation on his forehead, like being pricked by needles.

The whole world seemed to change in an instant. The long-dormant misfortune trembled slightly at the waist, and the long-starved Spear of Fate ate the appetizer with tears in its eyes.

"Boom!~"

The longsword struck the ground, and a huge explosion, mixed with a cloud of earth shooting into the sky, spread for hundreds of meters along the direction of the slash.

Scarpo's pupils, which had shrunk to two red dots, suddenly trembled, and he turned his head in disbelief.

Suddenly, Li Xia, who had been under the sword, appeared beside him.

The distance between the two instantly changed from two or three meters to almost touching.

The fist, engulfed in white flames, grew larger and larger in view.

"Oh!"

Scarpo's body trembled suddenly, and the armor wrapped in vines jumped as well, making a crisp tinkling sound.

A strange, beautiful color suddenly flashed across the surface of the armor, and a bizarre rebound force emerged from the inside of the armor, traveling upwards along the fist.

Li Xia's eyes remained as deep and unfathomable as an ancient well, and he did not forcefully resist the rebounding force.

Instead, he naturally retracted his fist following this force, his elbow and palm drawing a circle within a very small area.

Incredibly, it turned the rebound force into its own, unleashing it with even greater power once more.

"Oh!"

Another heavy punch landed on Scarpo's chest, even though the enemy armor and plant symbiosis slowed down some of the power transmission.

Scarpo still felt as if he had been punched hard inside his body.

What kind of move is that!
The physical tremors were not significant and had little effect on him; his organs were simply a way of obtaining nutrients.

If he wanted, he could regrow it with a little bit of light and energy, it just would take time.

What shocked Scarpo was the punch that Li Xia delivered to him.

Even when sparring with the other ten pillars, being hit heavily by weapons would have negligible effect by the time the impact reached their internal organs.

It will also cause the opponent's hands to go numb from the recoil.

But why wasn't he affected by the recoil? Why is the power of the fist so strange?
Scarlett's eyes flickered with a crimson dot. He released one of his sword-wielding hands and reached for Li Xia's head.

But a hand reached out even faster and grabbed his wrist.

Because of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, this hand gleamed with a jade-like luster, yet it also carried an undeniable sense of power.

Li Xia grabbed Scarpo's wrist, and his outstretched arm blocked Scarpo's eyes.

His eyes shone like stars in that instant.

"laugh--!"

A strong gust of air shot out from the corner of his mouth, condensing into white vapor in mid-air.

"Boom boom boom!"

The heart pounded wildly, pumping oxygen-rich blood to every part of the body.

The true qi flowed like a surging river, and the golden ring on the back of his hand lit up again.

"Pong"

A pure white flame ignited, and Li Xia's hand, as swift as a broken willow branch, twisted at the joint of Scarpo's arm.

He then naturally flipped his wrist and struck Scarpo's left chest with a palm, causing the armor to clang once more.

The force of the recoil was redirected downwards by Li Xiaxuan's palm, and his bent arm, like a cannon, struck Scarpo's jaw hard.

Even with the helmet protecting him, Scarpo still unconsciously tilted his head upwards.

flaw!

A cold glint flashed in Li Xia's eyes. He leaned his upper body backward, his spine moving like a dragon, causing his body to suddenly straighten.

The fist slammed into Scarpo's jaw once again.

With an even louder explosion than before, Scarpo's feet left the ground.

In an instant, his right foot slammed hard onto the ground, and the immense force of the impact flowed down his legs and into the soil.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he once again grasped Ye Ji in his hand, twisted his arms, and was about to thrust forward.

A sudden sense of unease arose in Li Xia's heart, and he felt as if the hairs on his body were standing on end.

With a forceful lift of his left arm, he held the spear horizontally in front of him.

"when!"

A faint ripple of air spread out from the point of impact.

Li Xia felt an immense force coming from the spear, and he was sent flying backward.

His feet carved two deep furrows in the ground, and he slid for dozens of meters.

His blood surged, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and bright red blood gushed from his mouth like a mist.

The cracked tiger's mouth recovered completely in just a few breaths, but his arms were still numb and tingling.

Li Xia wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, his gaze fixed on Scarpo in mid-air.

Several thick vines extended from behind him, two of which were deeply embedded in the soil. It was these two vines that helped him stabilize himself in mid-air and escape his predicament.

He also launched a counterattack; otherwise, that thrust of the spear could very well have ended the battle immediately.

The sword strike came from two other vines, each as thick as an arm, with connective tissue resembling a sword blade extending from their ends.

The vine is roughly six or seven meters long, and its appearance alone is extremely advantageous.

Furthermore, the vines, when swung around, utilize the whip-like effect, with the speed at the tip being much greater than the speed at the stem.

Just like how an ordinary human can create a sonic boom by striking the tip of a long whip.

The sword strike that the vine had just unleashed easily broke the speed of sound, generating terrifying power.

Even Li Xia couldn't withstand it and could only dissipate the force by shifting his position.

This should be one of those three?

Li Xia loosened and tightened his grip on the spear, his body stretched out, and a roar like muffled thunder from within him resounded.

The strange feeling throughout my body has gradually subsided.

It's a top-tier Tier 3 weapon, not so easy to defeat.

Li Xia slowly exhaled the stale air from his mouth, looked down at the Night Silence in his hand, and saw a clear sword mark on the gun.

Fortunately, Night Silence can heal itself; otherwise, this alone would have been enough to break Li Xia's heart.

"You are not a stone man."

Scarpo remained suspended in mid-air, just like Doctor Octopus, with the vines behind him waving slowly and his scarlet eyes watching him with great interest.

Then he looked at the head, which was tightly bound around the waist and wrapped in duct tape.

"Hand over the sacred relic and become my war slave, and I will spare your life."

Scarpo slowly landed on the ground, looking down at Li Xia as if bestowing some extraordinary favor.

Your conditions.

Li Xia finally broke his silence and lowered his body again, holding the spear in a cradle-like position in front of him.

"It's much cheaper than the price offered for this dead man's head."

Scarpo suddenly laughed, his pupils, which had shrunk to two dots, trembled.

"My conditions are merely out of duty as a legion commander. Indeed, I'd rather cut you into pieces than take you as a war slave."

Peel off your skin, mix your flesh and blood with the mud, and water my child, so that your blood may help him grow.

From the end of the vines behind Scarpo, something resembling a sword blade slowly emerged.

Including the Death Blade in his hand, he had a total of 7 swords, and he was now absolutely confident that he could kill Li Xia in an instant.

In this state, his fighting power is more than doubled.

The gagged head was also watching the situation closely; Scarpo's current appearance was familiar to him.

This is the renowned 'Seven Swords' of Griggs, and each generation of the 'Seven Swords' has only one true successor.

Each successor is a powerful figure in the entire Griggs, and their method of selecting true successors is cruel and bloody.

Up to a thousand young children were taught the method of the Seven Swords at the same time. To master the Seven Swords, one had to be parasitized by a special plant.

The mortality rate from parasitism alone is enough to eliminate at least half the population, followed by one sword, two swords.
Each additional sword brings a dangerous transformation; when there are three swords, all the children must fight each other in a forest.

Once only two children remain and their injuries have healed, they will face off again. The winner will take three vines from the other child and transplant them onto their own body.

These are the seven swords of our time.

Therefore, Scarpo is undoubtedly powerful; he is a true warrior who fought his way to the top.

But Mimi always felt something was wrong. He had lived for a very, very long time and even feared death, trying every means to merge himself with the seed of the sacred tree.

During Li Xia's previous match against Scarpo, he had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Li Xia was weaker than Scarpo in both strength and speed, but he seemed to have a magical technique that Scarpo could not overwhelm him with in terms of strength.

This will help him accumulate advantages little by little until they explode at a certain critical point and become the decisive move.

Therefore, Mimi was somewhat worried about Scarpo's absolute confidence.

The opposing sides were reflected in his deep, emerald-green eyes.

At this moment, Mimi began to truly take an interest in Li Xia.

Some were even eager to see what would happen next.

Suddenly, several vines twisted and turned nimbly in the air, swinging their blades from all directions as they slashed at Li Xia's body.

With a flick of the spear, the tip swayed left and right, swatting away the vines attacking from above.

It was unclear what material the sword blades at the ends of the vines were made of, but when they collided, they produced a remarkably clear metallic sound.

The spear retracted in his hand, its sharp tip pinning the vines that were creeping along the ground to the earth.

He then stomped his foot on the ground and leaped into the air, two vines that came whistling from the left and right twisting around him like scissors.

Li Xia leaped into the air, smoothly grasping the tip of the spear. He stretched his body in mid-air, and to Scarpo's astonishment, Li Xia, who was clearly turned away from him, suddenly flipped over and stabbed the spear toward Scarpo's face with lightning speed.

Back carbine!
This shot was so fast that it completely caught Scarborough off guard.

In his haste, he turned his head, but suddenly remembered the scene where Li Xia seemed to appear out of thin air beside him.

Startled, he simultaneously swung the two vines behind him and the longsword in his hand to his side.

If I'm not mistaken, the other party has a strange ability to suddenly appear next to the spear.

"Woo——"

Three swords, accompanied by a mournful whistling sound, pierced through the space to the left and right of the spear, completely sealing off the entire area.

not coming?

Scarpo was about to exhale and use the vines to seal off the gaps around Li Xia again.

But Li Xia, who had been blocked by vines on the outermost edge, had somehow appeared in front of her chest.

Li Xia looked up, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her face.

On Scarpo's chest, the mark of the Flying Thunder God was prominently imprinted on the surface of the armor.

This is the mark he left in the previous round when he struck Scarpo's chest with a single palm strike.

"Boss, boss! A few people are coming from afar, riding a huge eagle. They look extremely powerful!"

A loud alarm sounded in the team channel.

Li Xia took a deep breath, his left hand already gripping the cold barrel of the Doom gun.

With fluid grace, he drew his gun and pressed it against Scarpo's chest.

"Oh!"

Smoke billowed as the doomed silver bullet gave Scarpo no chance to react, striking the muzzle of his gun directly.

Scarpo seemed to be frozen in place, completely immobilized.

[Executioner, you have dealt 200 points of fate damage to the enemy, who is now in a 3-second fate shock state.]

Li Xia's voice simultaneously rang out in the team channel:
"3 seconds!"
