Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 327 Titans vs. Titans
His gaze swept over Hel's frenzied face, then lingered for a moment on his jewel-like pupils.

Li Xia quickly realized that the essence of the Afterimage Fist was to use a flash of light to leave an afterimage on the enemy's retina.

This creates an afterimage; in other words, it only works on eyes with a lens-retina structure.

As your rank increases, you will encounter more and more non-human monsters.

It's not surprising that an enemy wouldn't be affected by the afterimage fist.

Just like Hel, the incarnation of the star god, whose eyes might also be made of stone, it's not surprising that he could see through things.

This series of ideas, though seemingly complex, is actually extremely fast.

From the moment Hel swung his sword to the moment Li Xia dissipated the force, that short period of time was his thought process.

But Herl was just as fast. The moment his arm was blocked, his lower body remained still, while his upper body suddenly spun like a windmill.

Using the momentum of rotation, his free left arm swung a punch again.

The power of this punch was astonishing, coupled with a move that no normal human could possibly make.

For a moment, Li Xia was caught off guard and could only raise his spear again and hold it horizontally in front of him.

"Oh!"

This time, Li Xia didn't try to withstand the force head-on; instead, he flew backwards with the momentum.

While in mid-air, the person had already turned their body, head down and feet up, and the spear in their hand suddenly extended, sinking deep into the rock slab like a nail.

"Kala——"

Stone fragments flew off the ground, and fine cracks spread outwards from where the spear had penetrated. But this rock slab was, after all, built on the crater for sacrificial purposes, and was extremely sturdy.

Even with such immense force, it managed to withstand it.

The force did not travel from the tip of the spear, but instead traveled upwards along the spear, causing the shaft to bend into an exaggerated arc again before suddenly straightening.

Li Xia's body paused in mid-air for a moment, and under the powerful rebound force of the Night's Silence, he was like an arrow shot out, rushing towards Hel.

As he passed the spear, he pulled it out with ease, using the force to drag the spear along, his body arching backward like a bow.

He exhaled loudly, gripped the spear with both hands, combined the power he had accumulated with the force of his forward charge, and slammed it down on Hel with the force of splitting a mountain.

Before the gun even arrived, the thick smoke and billowing heat from the crater had already been stirred up by the Steel Dragon's Horn.

The wind howled, and the air in front of the gun parted to both sides, which, in the eyes of Black Charcoal and Mimi, was like the gun splitting the sea apart.

Everything in its path was naturally split in two, and azure lightning emerged from the gun. Just as the night was about to reach Hel's head.

Li Xia's hands seemed to grasp lightning, and billowing dust gathered behind him like dense dark clouds.

The visually striking scene even stunned the kitten, but it quickly recovered and a surprisingly large sniper rifle appeared in its hand.

Mysterious patterns swirled within his crimson pupils, and the Susanoo shell slowly emerged behind his body, his skeletal frame supporting a sniper rifle with both hands.

Kurotan, with his hands empty, tilted his head to aim, and Susanoo behind him did the same.

Li Xia's attack was extremely powerful; it was a counterattack that came after he had been suppressed and gradually found an opportunity.

This move also signifies a test, so how could Heitan not cooperate?

The process of Li Xia flying backwards and then back seems complicated, but in the end it's nothing more than thrusting the spear, turning around, drawing the spear, and smashing it down on his head.

It was so fast that Hel didn't have enough time to react, nor could he react in time.

Under such an attack, the light in his jewel-like eyes shone brightly once more.

The patterns on its body, which resembled those of a stone figure, also lit up.

Suddenly, Hel raised his arms and crossed them in front of him, and light instantly gathered on his arms.

In an instant, a stone shield appeared in front of his arms. The shield had an ancient design, but its surface shone with a metallic luster.

And the stone shield was visibly growing larger.

Li Xia's pupils contracted, and without the slightest hesitation, he slammed the spear in his hand hard against the stone shield.

There was a moment of silence, followed by a deafening roar.

The shockwave, carrying smoke and dust, spread outwards like ripples.

The deep blue electric light mixed in was particularly dazzling.

The two people who collided seemed to freeze in place, with Li Xia's body suspended in mid-air.

His spear remained pressed against the stone shield, and his face turned pale at first, then quickly flushed red.

He was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, but he forced it back down.

After a brief stalemate, he could no longer hold back his spear, letting the night sky bounce high into the air.

Hel was also in bad shape; his boulder-like body swayed twice, and the stone shield in front of him suddenly cracked.

Fine cracks spread outwards from the point of impact.

He staggered back two steps, his jewel-like pupils trembling violently.

That stone shield also has the ability to reflect shock, so how terrifying is the power of this attack?
Even if only a portion of the recoil returned, it would be enough to cause Li Xia enormous damage. Timely withdrawal forcibly interrupted the recoil.

The only consequence of doing this is that Ye Ji will bear the majority of the power, but how could Li Xia let Ye Ji bear that?
The moment the spear left his hand, Li Xia's outstretched hand suddenly clenched into a fist.

"Fuck!"

The buzzing spear suddenly transformed into a blinding bolt of lightning; its power could shatter the spear, but not the thunder!

This mere shift between reality and illusion rendered Hel's despicable 'counter-shock' power completely ineffective.

Li Xia was in mid-air, palm facing up, raising his right hand high. The lightning bolt that had been flying backwards instantly traversed the distance and hovered above his palm.

With a sudden swing of his arm, lightning, accompanied by a piercing buzz, pierced through the gaps in the stone shield and struck Hel's body.

In that instant, the outstretched hand clenched into a fist again, and the lightning that had barely caused any harm to Hel suddenly reformed behind him.

Not only that, Li Xia's figure also suddenly disappeared, appearing directly behind Hel, with his back to him, his outstretched right hand gripping the spear.

Flying Thunder God!
Hel's pupils trembled violently once again. Clearly, Li Xia's sudden appearance behind him had shocked him, even though he was already in a frenzy.

"Buzz!"

The pebbles at Hel's feet rolled to both sides, and Li Xia immediately felt an unusual sensation coming from behind.

Is this a repulsive force?

Li Xia had absolutely no
Kurozumi's crimson Sharingan eyes suddenly began to spin rapidly.

[Reversing cause and effect!]

Just as he was about to repeat his old trick, Hel, who was spinning his upper body, suddenly paused.

His body trembled violently, and a huge hole suddenly exploded in his chest.

Only then did the dull thud of a Nax sniper rifle be heard from dozens of meters away.

"Bang!" The Destruction Bullet, worth 16,000 points per shot, was extremely powerful, but its speed was very slow, only 160m/s.
In the Naruto world, the original owner of the Black Gun Squad's Nax sniper rifle once attacked Li Xia with a Destruction Bullet.

Because of its slow speed, it was easily dodged, but in the hands of Kurotan, such a sniper rifle and bullets became an unavoidable divine skill.

[Reversing Cause and Effect: A mark is generated every 7 days. Consuming a mark can bring forward damage, negative status effects, etc., that the enemy will receive 0.3 seconds in advance.]

The more direct destructive power of the Destruction Bomb was that Hel's health bar, which was already less than half full, suddenly dropped even further.

Li Xia's eyes flashed with a cold light. He was not surprised at all by what had just happened. Even though he had his back to Hel, he simply took a step forward.

They moved even further away from Hel.

"Snap!" With the crisp sound of the boot heel crushing the stone, Li Xia's lower back muscles tensed up suddenly, like a drawn bowstring.

Using the force of his stomp, he suddenly raised the spear that had been hanging low, his arm went from bent to extended, and his upper body rotated around his waist and abdomen, integrating the kinetic energy of the turn with the explosive power of his arm.

The gleaming spear tip did not thrust out, but instead retracted like a dragon gathering its strength.

As Li Xia turned over, the gleaming spear flashed with a cold light in an instant. A single point of cold light arrived first, followed by the spear thrusting out like a dragon!

Back carbine!
At this moment, Hel's upper body was halfway turned, which just happened to reveal the wound on his upper body caused by the Destruction Bullet.

With absolute precision, Ye Ji pierced into the wound inflicted by the black charcoal!
That wasn't all. Holding the gun in both hands and maintaining his posture, Li Xia suddenly flipped over, twisted his arms, and made the gun spin like an electric drill.

"Snapped!"

Two thick stone arms suddenly joined together, not only blocking the spear, but also using the bending motion to move the spear slightly away from them.

The repulsive force that had been resisting before suddenly intensified, and Li Xia groaned as he was sent flying backward once again.

His feet slid for more than ten meters on the ground before he came to a stop.

Just as I was about to catch my breath and observe the effect of the attack, I heard Little Black's slightly anxious cry:

"Meow!!!"

Mimi, whose waist was cinched, screamed as if her throat had been choked:
"Run! Run! Run!!!"

Li Xia raised his head, and even though he was used to having a blank expression during battle, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Hel was already floating in mid-air, with layers of giant rocks forming on his body.

His body was hidden within, and one could even vaguely see his exposed core and less than 20% of his health remaining on his head.

In just a short while, a stone giant tens of meters tall appeared in front of them.

Not only that, but there were also several hundred rocks, each the size of a human head, floating around the giant.

"Roar!!!!"

Although the stone giant's appearance was rough, the shape of Hel could still be vaguely seen.

He roared to the sky, his arms, as large as temple pillars, swung and his fists collided.

A thunderous, muffled roar erupted, and a distinct shockwave emanated from the fist.

The surrounding rocks trembled and, under the force of repulsion, crashed down on Li Xia like meteors.

He then raised his hands, and the lava in the crater seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, boiling and churning as it converged towards his raised hands.

Meteor Fist?
What is that move they're holding up? Is it a skill that hasn't been detected yet?
But whatever it is, the most important thing right now is to survive this meteor shower that's heading straight for him.

Hel's repulsive force was extremely terrifying. The stone was propelled by the repulsive force and crashed down from the sky, creating a huge, piercing scream that could drive anyone mad.

Li Xia felt a chill run down his spine. The stone was quite powerful on its own, and if it fell like that, it could definitely kill him.

Even with such a dense swarm of birds, it's difficult to dodge them.

He exhaled a long breath, instantly boosting his energy and spirit to the extreme.

Li Xia raised his spear again, and his eyes widened as the first stone struck the blade.

With a loud shout, he straightened his arms abruptly, lowered his waist and abdomen to absorb the force, and plowed two deep furrows into the rocky ground with the soles of his boots. Gravel mixed with sparks flew down the gun barrel and onto his shoulder.

Before he could adjust his stance, a second rock came hurtling down, grazing the shaft of his spear.

Li Xia twisted his waist and spun around while parrying with his spear. The spear spun like a wheel, knocking the rubble against the side of the mountain wall. The moment the rocks shattered, the flying stone fragments, accompanied by a gust of wind, struck his shoulder.

Fine, illusory dragon scales emerged, and when struck, they naturally released the accumulated heat, directly melting the rubble into something resembling magma.

Sparks flew everywhere, creating a strangely beautiful scene.

The rocks continued to rain down, and Li Xia thrust his spear forward, piercing the rock while simultaneously flicking his wrist to shatter the rocks.

But more stones were already in front of him. If they were ordinary stones falling, Li Xia wouldn't even need to dodge.

But after those few stones, he understood why simply smashing stones could be called a 'skill'!
Hel didn't simply use repulsive force to throw the stone over; instead, he created a field that launched the stone like a slingshot.

The field stretched from the location of the stone all the way to his front. The stone moved faster and faster within the field, and its power increased.

Li Xia himself seemed to be standing in front of a gun barrel, facing a bullet that had just been fired.

Being able to block so many attacks is something to be proud of. An ordinary apostle would probably be knocked out by the first attack, stunned by the second, and completely dead by the third.

Even so, after managing to keep a dozen or so stones at bay and then dodging a hundred or so stones that came hurtling towards him twice with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he managed to do so.

Li Xia was eventually exhausted, but he managed to use his spear to pry open the stones once more.

"Black Charcoal!!"

"Meow!"

Under Scarborough's astonished gaze, Li Xia's body grew taller in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it reached a size similar to Hel's.

A small black cat darted out and landed on the giant's head.

A deep blue skeleton suddenly appeared and enveloped the giant's body.

The Night Silence in his hand trembled rapidly, its blade extending to its maximum length of ten meters.

The two-meter-long gun barrel now resembled a sword hilt.

Li Xia stood with his feet on either side of the volcano, while Ye Ji, whose hand had transformed into a 'sword,' nimbly twirled it in his hand.

He swung his right arm to the side, holding the sword at his side; this single movement even stirred up a gust of wind.

The surging airflow directly blew the thick smoke rising from the top of the volcano to the side.

Li Xia slowly raised his head and looked at Hel, who was still gathering strength.

second round!
