Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 473 Kills and Gains

The eerie roars grew closer, and all the mutants surged toward Li Xia as if they had gone mad.

It also includes thousands of 'fools' who are simply manipulated mentally and have not undergone any mutations.

Gerald disliked these 'fools' because they only did odd jobs in the college and was unwilling to give them 'honor'.

Li Xia's gaze swept across the scene, and he immediately understood the current situation.

The best and most convenient way is, of course, to kill them all; that's not difficult.

But whether from his own perspective or from the perspective of the situation, Li Xia did not want to use such methods to clear the field.

Aria was still 'live-streaming' the 'tragic state' of the entire university, and the viewers were the imperial family and the court's grand mage.

Even if it's a desperate act, killing someone in this way can still leave a bad impression on the other party.

More importantly, Li Xia did not want to kill people like this, especially since the current situation was not one where there was no way to deal with it.

From the beginning of his martial arts training, the master teachers told him most often: "A martial artist should cultivate a bit of fierceness, but more importantly, he should keep his sword hidden and not draw it easily."

Even within the palace walls, in this lawless place where betrayal, killing, and indulgence were the norm, Li Xia always adhered to his inner principles.

When it's time to kill, do it decisively; when it's not time to kill, don't kill just for convenience.

The roars from all around grew closer, and Li Xia slowly stretched out his hand.

An ancient longbow suddenly appeared. It was just nightfall, and everyone present felt that the moonlight suddenly became a bit stronger.

Aria raised her head and opened her mouth, causing even the imperial high-ranking officials, who had been watching the broadcast with livid faces, to widen their eyes slightly.

The moonlight, which was as clear as water, seemed to have a tangible quality at this moment, weaving a soft veil into the night.

Surrounding Li Xia in mid-air, countless beams of moonlight converged at the empty bowstring of the longbow, forming a bowstring that emitted a faint glow.

Even the moon seemed much closer and larger, encompassing his figure within it.

Li Xia took a deep breath and unleashed his full Observation Haki, causing an invisible wave of energy to surge forth from his body.

The wind stirred his clothes and ruffled his hair.

His slender fingers rested on the bowstring, and his boiling true energy roared within him, surging wildly into the bow.

The moon behind him grew brighter and brighter, and the condensed moonlight formed veils that floated around his body in concentric circles.

Ancient Moon Bow – Moonlight Scattering!
"Zheng!"

The bowstring of the Moonlight Bow vibrated, and countless Moonlight Arrows, carrying a hazy glow, rained down from the sky like a storm.

The arrows traced curves in the air as they rained down on the surging mutants from all sides.

The Moon Bow, originally designed to ward off evil, also possesses extremely strong power to dispel evil.

When the energy arrows pierced the mutant's body, it was like piercing ice and snow with hot iron spikes.

With a hissing sound, wisps of blue smoke, emitting a strong stench, rose continuously from the deformed creatures that were hit.

Screams rose and fell, but the ordinary people were distinguished by their Observation Haki, and they continued to roar and charge forward.

However, due to their weak bodies, they could only gather on the ground, waving their hands in vain at Li Xia, who was suspended in mid-air.

Li Xia's face was as calm as a deep pool. He simply kept tapping the bowstring, unleashing a rain of arrows downwards.

Gerald, hiding among the monsters, finally realized he had done something stupid. He watched in despair as the deformed creature, riddled with arrows, crashed heavily to the ground.

Every aberration killed here is the raw material for his resurrection!

Damn!

Where did such a powerful adventurer come from?!
Gerald, his eyes bloodshot, let out another shriek. The mutant finally turned around and began running wildly toward the outer perimeter.

Li Xia's eyes flashed; his reaction was quite quick. His Observation Haki limit was only about one kilometer in diameter, so expanding outwards was truly the only way out.

But it's only temporary!

The last aberration within range was riddled with arrows of moonlight and turned into a hedgehog.

With a flick of his hand, Li Xia sent the Ancient Moon Bow vanishing.

The stillness of the night, crackling with blinding lightning, pinned Gerald, who was trying to escape, to the ground.

What? They even have weapons?!
Gerald struggled desperately, trying to pull himself off the spear.

But this damned spear seemed to have a life of its own. Whenever it struggled, the spear would excitedly hum and release a powerful electric current.

Even the murderous aura and sharpness emanating from the gun made Gerald secretly startled.

Just how many people has this spear killed?

But he no longer had time to think about this problem, because Li Xia had already slowly landed in front of him.

It's all over, everything is over.
"Oh!"

"This old guy is really hard to kill!"

The three little ones huddled together, looking at the disgusting pus left on the ground, and let out a heartfelt sigh.

After failing to manipulate the mutants to scatter and escape, Gerald, unwilling to give up, continued his attempts.

However, he could not escape Li Xia's pursuit no matter what, and was killed dozens of times, experiencing all kinds of ways to die.

Gerald, having lost too many lives, even broke down and gave up the fight.

It's just a dull, numb cycle of death, resurrection, death again, and resurrection again.

Even so, Li Xia mechanically killed him nearly two hundred times before finally exhausting all of Gerald's lives.

In a sense, Gerrard is indeed immortal.

If it weren't for the Temple of Light sending Gerald a death notification...

Li Xia, who had become somewhat numb from killing, even suspected that Gerrard might have faked his death to survive.

[Executioner, you have killed Gerald (Dean of Ace University, follower of the Old Gods, preacher)]

[Executioner, you have earned 80 contribution points.]

[Executioner, you have taken over Ace University!]

Li Xia silently turned off the notification from the Hall of Light and found a relatively clean place to sit down.

The physical exertion in this battle wasn't too great, but the mental strain was extremely high, much like when you used to play games and spend the whole night camping for a boss, killing it hundreds of times in order to farm a certain piece of equipment.

People have become numb from killing.

"Boss, has anything been found?"

Awoo, tired of seeing Gerrard turn into a puddle of rotting pus, came over expectantly.

Although Gerald's individual strength is rather weak, he is still a boss, and ordinary people really can't kill him.

If Li Xia had to choose, he would rather fight the nameless king than fight Gerrard, that 'shit monster'!
"There's basically nothing else, but this is what came out."

Li Xia opened his hand, and a light that the three little ones had never seen before emanated from his palm.
