Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 365 Annihilation of the Team!

Li Xia's eyes grew brighter as he listened; in fact, his judgment was similar to that of the man named Bill in front of him.

Those who come here to participate in the Enies Lobby storyline should be relatively average in strength among the third tier.

Just like the information I got from CP, the groups of apostles I killed were quite ordinary, and I took care of them all very easily.

Therefore, he never considered wiping out all these apostles to obtain the Blood Key, because the profit might not be as high as 300,000 Hall Points.

From what I understand, the person on the other side is quite strong; they just came to check out a quest item.

And why does the name Temple of Truth sound so familiar?

Bill looked at the reconnaissance data sent by his teammates through the team channel.

[Apostle #*****]

There were a lot of question marks, which wasn't surprising, as my teammates said the enemy team had detection and suppression equipment.

The displayed attributes are: Spirit 35, Physique 34.

This perfectly matches Bill's image of a 'bragging rat'.

The so-called 'Bragging Rat' is a very rare type of apostle, with three attribute points allocated and special detection equipment.

Only the highest attribute is displayed, and the large number of question marks paired with the impressive highest attribute serves to intimidate other apostles and prevent them from fighting.

The 'Bragging Rat' will spend lavishly on one-time items to gain an advantageous position in the early stages of the world's arrival, combined with his carefully disguised attribute panel.

By reaping huge profits, they will not gain many attribute points due to their low overall evaluation, but they can still obtain a lot of Hall of Fame points.

Most importantly ————

Bill flicked his wrist, sending a shiny silver coin flying into the air.

The divination coin can be used once every seven days, and you can answer 'yes' or 'no' by choosing between heads or tails.

They cannot divine questions about themselves, nor can they answer overly profound questions.

'Are the opponents top 100 in the Tier 3 Arena?'

The silver coin tumbled and fell through the air. Bill reached out and caught it, slowly opening his hand.

"no."

Bill's smile grew increasingly amused, and he let out a long sigh:

"It was my oversight; I'm afraid the navy here gave you undue courage."

He raised one hand again and snapped his fingers.

Having already received instructions, the team members slammed their hands down on the ground, instantly filling the room with a blinding light.

On the wooden floor, a slowly rotating magic circle took shape.

"Teleport!"

Boom! A beam of light burst through the ceiling of the room. Tina and several colonels, who were on the outside, were startled and immediately leaped toward the spot.

When they arrived, all that remained was a dilapidated room emitting blue smoke, with huge, strange black patterns on the ground.

"There really are evil people lurking here!"

The colonels exchanged bewildered glances. They had initially thought Li Xia was doing this to make some money, but they never expected it to actually turn out this way.

"Where is Colonel Xia?"

"How to do?"

Tina's face turned ashen. She slammed her fist against the wall, then suddenly pulled out a Den Den Mushi from her pocket and dialed a number amidst the astonished gazes of the colonels.

As the fluttering coat gradually disappeared into the distance, the fragments of words exchanged after the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) connected drifted over on the wind:
"Lieutenant General Tsuru"

Colonels: ??? They contacted Lieutenant General Tsuru, the Chief of Staff, directly??
When did naval captains become so important?!
A feeling of weightlessness, similar to that of a roller coaster, came over me, as if my body had been breaking through several layers of very resilient membranes.

This feeling is not only not unfamiliar, but even quite familiar.

Compared to the inhuman teleportation of the Hall of Light, this teleportation is like a full-body spa, exceptionally comfortable.

When his legs touched the ground again, Li Xia caught the falling charcoal in mid-air.

His eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment.

This is an isolated island, not very big, but it has a wonderful little harbor where a very high-tech boat is moored.

There is also a portable dwelling on the shore, which looks quite comfortable.

This should be Bill's squad's base.

[Executioner, you have been teleported to the designated location by the 'Temple of Truth Tier 3 Seed Team - Heavenly Principle']

[Based on the assessment, this transmission contained malicious intent and an intention to attack. According to the fundamental regulations of the Hall, you have been granted 'temporary counterattack privileges'!]

finally come!

In an instant, Li Xia and Heitan's eyes lit up.

If it weren't for this right to retaliate, why would Li Xia have waited so long?

"The price has changed. Two hundred thousand Hall Points, plus your detection equipment, in exchange for your life."

Bill spread his hands:
"Now, what is your answer?"

shave!
Li Xia and Heitan's figures suddenly disappeared from the spot. Bill only felt something rushing past him at high speed on both sides of his body, and the wind it stirred up lifted the hair at his temples.

"Bah!"

A scream rang out, and Bill turned around in astonishment to see Li Xia and Heitan standing in front of the support and reconnaissance students, respectively.

The human and the cat struck the same pose, their hands clasped together as if launching a Kamehameha, pressed against each other's chests.

Finger Gun - Six Kings Gun!
An invisible force surged into their abdominal cavities, turning them into a paste. In just one moment, a large portion of their health bars disappeared.

Various negative situations keep appearing.

Then the person and the cat jumped up at the same time.

They kicked out with perfect synchronization, one to the left and one to the right, in mid-air.

The azure and pale white slashes detached from his feet, tracing graceful arcs from the left and right as they hurtled towards Bill.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment, and Bill's expression gradually became ferocious.

He gathered light in his hands and pulled hard.

Just as the two slashes were about to strike, they strangely turned around and flew towards Li Xia and Heitan.

"bang bang"

Suddenly, a small cloud of thick white smoke exploded beneath my feet.

It bounced off to the sides in mid-air.

Moonwalk - Aerial Walking!

I have to admit it.

Bill slowly stood up, his eyes frighteningly gloomy, staring blankly at Li Xia:

"You've successfully enraged me! I haven't encountered such a courageous apostle in a long time."

hum!
Bill's body suddenly vanished from the spot, revealing that he too had been shaved!
The reason why shaving is so popular at present is that at the current level, the dynamic vision of the apostles is simply unable to capture such a high-speed advance.

Even with Li Xia's double-lens reflexes, he could only see a very blurry shadow approaching at an unbelievable speed.

but.
A gleaming fist grazed past Li Xia's ear.

Bill turned his head in utter astonishment: ?
Driven by immense inertia, he could only let his body continue forward with the force until the 'super heavy punch' slammed directly into the massive rock.

With a tremendous roar, rocks flew everywhere, and a giant rock, taller than a person, was almost completely destroyed.

This is the drawback of 'shave': it is difficult to change direction during such a high-speed advance. This drawback makes the user's mastery of 'shave' and the control of distance crucial.

Li Xia shook his head. He'd thought Bill was incredibly strong, given how arrogant he seemed.
Judging from his current performance, he's only at a moderately strong level, around a few hundredth in the arena. No wonder he's not a core player.

"Full recovery medicine—" Bill's roar had barely left his mouth when he could no longer utter the next half of his sentence.

Li Xia reached out and grasped the Murakumo sword hanging at his waist.

"Qiang!"

Amidst the clear, melodious sword cry, a brilliant sword light bloomed before our eyes, like the dawn, the semi-circular sword beam instantly slicing through the air.

The sword light sliced ​​right through two apostles who were drinking potions with their heads tilted back, and continued flying forward without stopping, silently cutting through the rocks.

It shot into the sky and gradually dissipated.

Blood and internal organs gushed out of the fractured abdominal cavity, while the cut rock slowly slid down under the force of gravity, revealing a smooth, mirror-like fracture.

A death warning appeared simultaneously in front of Li Xia and Bill.

All of this happened so fast that even the others didn't have time to react. From Li Xia and Hei Tan using the Shave Forward Strike to the sudden drawing of their swords, it only took a few seconds.

Almost instantly, Bill's team lost two members.

Fear rose in everyone's hearts in an instant, and Bill's eyes turned bloodshot in a flash.

He had no idea that he had touched a brick wall, but he didn't understand that if the stats on the panel were real, these attributes were already close to being able to advance to the next level.

Why not go to the arena? Does he think he can break into the top ten in a single session?

"what!!!"

Driven by the fear of death, Bill's muscles bulged, his veins stood out like gnarled tree roots, and his eyes shone with a scarlet light.

His entire demeanor suddenly rose significantly.

Berserker bloodline?
"shave!"

Bill disappeared again, this time spreading his arms wide to expand his coverage area, as long as he could restrict Li Xia's movements.

Thanks to the Berserker's ability to grow stronger with each battle, no Apostle can defeat him in close combat!

This time, Li Xia did not dodge either.

He simply pointed his longsword straight at him.

then
"puff--"

No one knows who taught him to use the shaving technique, but Bill grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, as he faced the Murakumo sword that had pierced him directly.

Completely disregarding his own injuries, he forcefully wrapped his thick arms around Li Xia.

"Got you!"

Layers of light shimmered on the Congyun Sword, and true qi surged violently on its gleaming blade as Li Xia tightened his wrist.

The sharp blade slashed upwards.

Bill let out a frantic howl, twisting his neck to the side with all his might, the blade piercing through his collarbone with a trace of crimson blood.

With such injuries, Bill became even more frenzied, and his entire body began to burn with crimson flames that resembled blood.

Li Xia suddenly raised his arm, his hard elbow slamming into the inside of Bill's thick wrist, knocking his arms away.

True Qi surged wildly, and illusory white flames also appeared on his body.

Squat down slightly, and spread your palms out at different heights.

Gentle Fist - Reversal of Fortune!

In an instant, his body began to spin rapidly in place, and a huge white energy ball roared out, spinning at an extremely terrifying speed, like a grinding machine.

Bill, who was right next to Li Xia, didn't even have time to scream before his flesh and bones were ground away layer by layer in an instant.

He was then thrown back by the immense force and landed on the ground.

Even so, Bill was still alive, and his meridians and flesh were regenerating and intertwining at an abnormal speed.

And the entire body is still expanding further.

"what!!"

He roared again, and a visible sonic wave spread in all directions from his mouth, causing even the pebbles on the ground to tremble. His eyes were now completely filled with red light.

Wow, that's some serious vitality. I wonder what kind of berserker it is.

Li Xia crouched slightly, then suddenly rushed forward, appearing instantly in front of Bill.

This incredible control is the key to using 'shave' effectively!

My left foot slammed heavily on the ground, and the soft soil seemed to be pressed down by an invisible weight.

A section of the surrounding area suddenly collapsed, giving it a more solid feel.

The immense force of the forward thrust traveled upwards through the left foot, combined with the full-body power from the spinal tremor, and was unleashed with a side kick from the right foot.

"Oh!"

An extremely noticeable shockwave emanated from his feet, and an immense force instantly surged into Bill's body.

He paused, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Li Xia, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.

But the power had slowly been withdrawn from his body, and the red light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Li Xia lowered her leg, turned around, and twirled her sword to wipe away the bloodstains on the blade. She then slowly inserted the sword into the scabbard behind her.

"boom!"

Bill collapsed heavily to the ground, revealing a huge, gaping hole in his back, and the ground behind him splattered with blood mixed with broken bones and organs.

[Executioner, you have eliminated all members of the 'Temple of Truth - Tier 3 Heavenly Principle Squad'. Your temporary counterattack privileges have expired.]

Black Charcoal stepped forward, retrieved the blood-stained key from Bill's body, and skipped after Li Xia.

"Oh no, I forgot to ask where we are and how to get back?"

"Meow?"

"That's true. This kind of teleportation can't go too far, but we still need to confirm the location."

"Meow!"

Li Xia stopped and rubbed his charcoal-black head:

"What do you mean they might have maps in their boats and houses? Those are our boats and houses!"

Look, this is the self-cultivation of an apostle!

Others' items = not dropped = can be killed = resources = mine!

I must say, the logic formulas Bai Xiao taught are really useful.

Sure enough, a simple map was placed on the large table inside the room.

It's not far at all, only a few dozen kilometers.

After packing up the boat and house, Li Xia, along with Heitan, determined the direction, lowered their body, and flew directly into the sky.

Go back! We still have fees for about ten teams to collect, and we can't miss out on those 100,000+ Hall Points.

Before long, Water Seven reappeared before them. Li Xia narrowed his eyes as he looked at the massive fleet on the sea.

Why does this fleet seem so much larger?

In particular, a huge ship with a dog's head on its prow arrogantly stopped at the very front.

Wait for the dog-headed warship
Monkey D. Garp?

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

A reader previously asked why all identities were revealed upon detection. As explained earlier, that person's detection was specifically enhanced, capable of forcibly revealing information beyond specific attributes.

Few people would reinforce it like this because it's pointless; just choose between this information and the specific panel.

A normal person would choose to show more panel information. In previous battles, when others detected the protagonist, it always showed "Apostle No. ???".
