Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 580 A Battle to the Death!
After Li Xia and Shadow held off Alabos and Mord, the remaining Little Knights and three little ones were right in front of Mord's remaining 'Apocalypse Four'.

However, the Apocalypse Quartet are top-tier fourth-order apostles who have cooperated in countless worlds and have an exceptionally strong teamwork.

Upon receiving Mord's order, Death, who was in charge of the assault, silently raised his greatsword, hot steam spewing from the gaps in his armor, and charged forward like a bulldozer.

Wherever he went, the smooth ground seemed to melt under the high temperature, plowing out extremely deep trenches with viscous liquid edges. Even raindrops evaporated before they fell, and white steam trailed long plumes of smoke with his charge.

It really is like a bulldozer capable of destroying everything.

As Aowu watched his opponent rush across the hundred-meter distance at a seemingly slow but actually fast speed, the greatsword in his hand roared like an engine, the edge of the blade trembling and spinning rapidly, and the blade itself turning a fiery red due to the high temperature, with an unusually terrifying energy gathering faintly perceptible from it.

The overwhelming sense of threat had instantly reached its peak. It gripped the dragon egg and spoke rapidly:

"I'll hold them off, kitten, provide support, puppy, harass!"

The toughest creature in the entire Meishan is probably Aowu, even the boss is not as tough as it. Its accompanying dragon egg has maintained a perfect record so far, and even the full-force attack of the old god's incarnation could not leave a single crack in the dragon egg.

Aowu took a deep breath. It knew that in battle, someone had to be able to hold the line. Otherwise, no matter how strong the others were, it would be a massacre against someone who could hold the line.

The leader once withstood all the storms ahead; now, it's its turn!

The law of gravity!

Channel construction!

The little dragon spread its claws, and its crystal-clear dragon eyes shimmered with magnificent colors. It was about to use its dragon egg as a slingshot to launch it when it suddenly caught sight of a small figure that transformed into a streak of light and rushed out.

Little Knight? ??
Its body was about 1 meter tall, with bone spikes half a meter long. In fact, its entire body was not even as big as the giant sword that had killed it.

But this small body suddenly unleashed an unimaginable and astonishing power.

The light from the rising soul photons enveloped the little knight, as if a faint white flame had ignited on its body.

When you hold the bone nail with both hands, the bone nail is also enveloped in the radiance of soul photons.

The three children's gazes wavered for a moment, and they felt that the little knight's back view at this moment actually carried a three-tenths of Li Xia's shadow.

Death's gaze, hidden behind the visor, flashed a cruel smile. With a sudden burst of strength, his thick arm swung the greatsword, imbued with terrifying energy, in a most ferocious manner.

The scorching blade drew a red arc in front of him, which lingered for a long time, as if just looking at it would burn him.

Die along with those three pieces of trash!

"boom!!!"

Death's cruel smile turned to astonishment. The power on the blade was neutralized by another force, revealing the greatsword that was still vibrating at high speed.

"De de de de de"

The faint clanging sounds continued, but what blocked the sword blade was the half-meter-long pale bone nail.

Behind the bone nail, a face wearing a white mask, with a slightly innocent and cute appearance, slowly rose up, now looking surprisingly menacing.

The little knight suddenly loosened his grip on the bone nail, but only slightly.

The bone nail, which was in a stalemate, was immediately flung outward by the power of the greatsword, but the little knight's hand gripped the hilt, so the bone nail circled around and was grasped by the little knight again.

However, the greatsword inevitably swung outwards because the little knight suddenly pulled away the stool.

The three little ones behind him almost popped their eyes out. A seemingly insignificant movement had instantly reversed the situation, just as the little knight had now dodged the giant sword and was facing death directly.

But the little knight's next move surprised them even more. The bone nail whistled as it pierced the man's chin, and once it hit, it would immediately penetrate into his brain.

Even though death has an incarnation, he still didn't want to experience that kind of pain. He snorted coldly and slapped the little knight with his fan-sized hand.

The three Apocalypse Knights behind them reacted just as quickly, instantly setting up a high-tech sniper rifle and pulling the trigger without even aiming.

"Bang! — Ding!"

As the smoke cleared, a dragon egg, like a shield, perfectly covered the little knight's body.

War stared in disbelief at the dragon egg that had blocked his deadly bullets, and almost cursed.

Her talent, combined with her skills and sniper rifle, allows her to continuously build up momentum, meaning that the first shot she fires is the most powerful, often unexpectedly inflicting significant damage on the target.

Because in general, the greatest threat to a sniper is always the deadly bullet that hasn't been fired yet, and few people would fire the first shot.

Even with an attack power exceeding 16, and embodying almost all the skills and talents of war, the bullet was easily deflected by that egg.

"******!"

She couldn't hold back any longer, muttered a curse under her breath, pulled the bolt again, and aimed at the crack at the top of the dragon egg.

But the plague beside them had already raised its staff, and the surrounding rain instantly turned into sharp water needles, enveloping the three little ones like a sudden storm.

The dragon inside the egg roared, feeling its blood burning. Its high-pitched dragon roar, mixed with the elegant words of Jinling, echoed in the sky above the City of Tears.
"Playing with water in front of Grandpa Long? What the hell are you doing?! You stinking bastard! Go play with your pee instead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the water needle that had been in front of him suddenly stopped in mid-air, trembling violently. Under the incredulous gaze of the plague, it changed direction. There is a saying in the hall: skill is no match for talent.

Skills of the same rank and with the same effect are always weaker than talents!
"Buzz!"

The water needle had only flown back a few dozen meters when the Plague, with its frosty face, coldly raised its staff, and the water needle trembled again as it turned back.

During this time, the little knight showed amazing performance. After killing the Pale Spirit Gluttony, the little knight leveled up again and his attributes had already reached 60+, and he began to truly show the style of a jackal.

In its pair of dark, round eyes, there seemed to be nothing but the Death Knight before it.

After ducking to avoid the slapping hand, it suddenly sprang to its feet, spun around, and kicked the Death Knight's breastplate.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, a shockwave rippled out from the point of impact. Death's eyes widened in shock, and even his massive body swayed, involuntarily taking a step back. But this step seemed to send a signal. The little knight, still in mid-air, felt the soul photons swirling around his body grow even stronger. He charged forward again, his lunge punch slamming directly into Death's chin.

He turned and swung his leg upwards, kicking Death's jaw again. He then used the bone spike to stab with his backhand, while his right hand gathered a light bullet. Taking advantage of Death's momentary daze after being hit by the bone spike, he slammed it directly into Death's face!
In the dissipating photons, Death swayed and retreated, but the injuries on its body were fading at an extremely fast speed. Instead, the avatar behind it trembled twice.

The three little ones' eyes lit up completely. What did they see?
I've spotted a weaker version of the boss!
Perhaps the young knight is still far behind the boss in terms of skill, but the characteristics of the jackal allow him to grow at an astonishing speed. This is the jackal who appeared to reverse the crisis of world destruction, a combination of the world's favor and destiny.

It is the last resort and hope for the whole world!

So even though he's still quite inexperienced, he already has a bit of the air of a leader.

The three boys didn't have much experience facing strong enemies alone, but they teamed up with Li Xia to fight against enemies beyond their limits.
Fully tested!
No one understands how to coordinate better when facing adversity than the three little ones!!

"kitten!!!"

Awoo howled inside the dragon egg, and Black Charcoal's scarlet eyes began to dart rapidly, first scanning the skeleton, then the flesh, and then the armor.

Its Susanoo wasn't tens of meters tall, but it was quite solid. Susanoo raised its hands, and a huge bow and arrow appeared, with the arrow wrapped in electricity slowly forming.

At that moment, Famine, wielding twin swords, rushed in. He glanced at Susanoo in front of him and revealed a contemptuous smile.

Suddenly, the white Rinnegan rings in his eyes shone brightly, and layers of purple chakra surged wildly around his body. A taller and larger Susanoo appeared in an instant, drawing its sword like a giant and slashing at Kurotan's Susanoo.

"Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan—"

He glanced at the five miniature thunder drums behind the charcoal-covered figure, his contempt growing ever more pronounced:
"There's also the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

The long sword in Susanoo's hand suddenly transformed into ice:

"But compared to my Rinnegan and the Ice-Ice Fruit, it's a joke!"

Kurotan's beard twitched twice, revealing a smile. His body suddenly flew backward, breaking free from Susanoo. At the same time, a shiny coin was launched high into the air.

A blinding flash of lightning and a sharp screech as the coin, glowing intensely, shot directly at the Death Knight, who was being relentlessly attacked by the Little Knight's combo punches.

Suddenly, Xiaotian, who had been hiding quietly, lowered his body and rushed forward. Under the incredulous gazes of the other three knights, he opened his mouth wide and bit down on the head of the incarnation of Death, swallowing the entire head into his mouth!
The pitch-black vortex spun rapidly, and wisps of smoke drifted from the avatar's body.

Through repeated collaborations with their leader to challenge formidable opponents, the three members have long since reached a consensus!
Even if there are many enemies, ignore the others and focus on beating up the boss!
Not only that, while condensing its water blades to cut down death, Aowu didn't forget to roar and unleash its attacks:

"You're only slightly stronger than a summoned beast, so you think you're that great?"
Is Dad proud of you?
"I shouldn't have had you with your mother in the first place, so you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself now."

Susanoo of Famine trembled. As a native English speaker, he had never heard such sarcastic insults before. Ever since he was chosen by the Time Scavengers to join the Famine Hunter Squad at the first level, every hunt he had faced was one where the opponent was trembling with extreme fear. He had heard pleas for mercy, hysterical curses, and bribes, but he had never heard such filthy and vulgar sarcastic remarks.

The key is that Awoo's output is vicious yet deadly. When Famine thinks that he is only slightly better than the summoned beasts that have always been consumables, his once incredibly proud Rinnegan and Logia-type Devil Fruits become even more glaring.

He really broke down!

Hidden inside the dragon egg, Aowu wiped the drool from its mouth, chuckled, and with a chilling killing intent, spread its dragon claws, squeezing out all the potential from its body.

The dragon's body trembled as it pressed down forcefully:
"Go drink Grandpa Long's foot bath water!!"

The law of gravity was fully unleashed, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield. The Leaf Lake above seemed to be affected by this powerful gravity, trembling violently. The massive amount of 'dew' accumulated on its surface stirred up waves tens of meters high, which then poured down like a torrential downpour.

Then, under the incredible water control talent of the true dragon, it transformed into a water dragon a thousand meters long and roared straight towards the battlefield.

This sudden gravitational pull caused even Alabos and Mord, who were already marked, to involuntarily stiffen and instinctively resist the downward pull, except for Li Xia, Shadow, Little Knight, and the three little ones.

In that instant, the eyes of Li Xia, Shadow, and Little Knight seemed to light up simultaneously.

opportunity!

The three figures simultaneously crouched down, their left feet slamming heavily onto the ground. Their fists, retracted to their waists and imbued with all their strength, pounded fiercely into their respective opponents' chests.

Lunge and punch!

"Bang!" *3
The powerful force penetrated his body, causing his breathing to become disordered, and the parts of his body that were hit felt a tingling and numb sensation, as if even his heart had stopped beating for a moment.

The moment the fist sank into Alabos's chest, the three men moved in perfect unison, sliding down his ribs, grabbing his belt, and taking advantage of the moment when his breath hitched, they stomped heavily on the ground again, pulled hard, and slammed their right shoulders into his collarbone.

"Bang!" *3
An angry roar erupted from Alabos's throat, his curved hooves grinding deep craters into the mud, and his left knee, wreathed in black flames, slammed into Li Xia's abdomen.

But Li Xia seemed not to see it at all. He simply tightened his waist and abdomen and slid his left foot back half a foot as if wading through mud to avoid the headbutt.

At the same time, his right hand opened again, his five fingers forming claws to grab Alabasi's wrist holding the bone blade, and he twisted it sharply to the side and back.

Alabos's shoulder bone cracked as he was twisted, and his other sharp claw slashed at Li Xia's face.

Li Xia's eyes flashed with a sharp light that seemed to pierce through everything. He suddenly raised his head back fiercely, charging towards the claws with a fierce and relentless courage.

"Fuck!"

The claws, burning with black flames, seemed to possess a sharpness comparable to swords, tearing open the flesh and blood on Li Xia's face. Amidst the splatter of crimson blood, his forehead slammed directly into the other's nose.

With a muffled thud, Alabos swayed violently, the intense tingling and excruciating pain briefly dissipating his strength.

Li Xia raised his face, which bore claw marks and was rapidly repairing itself.

He revealed a blood-stained smile.

The intense drumbeats instantly resounded throughout the entire City of Tears.

Below is showtime!
