Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

The long, drawn-out cry that had previously trailed off with a peculiar ending suddenly transformed into a rapid, rhythmic clashing sound, like the pounding of hooves.

When the rain of petals collided with the silver threads, the fine sparks that flew off with trails looked like bright red flower stamens that unfolded in the air into an extremely beautiful flower.

However, this flower only lasts for a very short time, disappearing in the air in a flash.

If the spectators weren't also strong enough, they might not even be able to see these beautiful yet eerie flowers clearly.

The response was...mediocre.

Li Xia suddenly slammed his left foot heavily on the ground, and using the slight force of the impact, he switched to holding the gun with both hands. Ye Ji seemed to come alive all of a sudden.

The highly resilient gun body trembled, and the vibration was transmitted to the gun tip in a huge amplitude.

The spear in his hands was like a blue dragon emerging from the sea, swirling above the ground. As his body moved, the spear also changed, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

The crimson mist stared wide-eyed, clenching its teeth, its focus heightened to the extreme, its rapier only managing to swing left and right in time.

Forget about counterattacking; even his ability to hold his ground was waning, and a hint of shock gradually appeared in his eyes. His feet, which had been firmly planted in place, lifted slightly, as if he were about to retreat.

Finally, after a clash, facing Li Xia's spear that came crashing down on his head, he mustered all his strength to hold the rapier horizontally above his head and exert force with both hands.

"boom!"

The rapier bent into a huge arc, then suddenly straightened, and using that force, he quickly jumped back a few steps, creating distance.

The initial joking and nonchalance had been completely replaced by shock and solemnity.

Li Xia frowned. His speed was mediocre, and his technique was even more... unremarkable.

A titled hunter... is that all?

Or is it that—

His gaze fell again on the rapier shrouded in crimson blood mist. This exceptionally slender yet exquisitely crafted sword, like a work of art, appeared fragile and vulnerable.

But it didn't struggle at all when it collided with "night silence".

Night Silence, infused with gold essence, possesses absolute dominance over metal weapons.

So... the power of a titled hunter should be related to the rapier?

It seems to be called something like "Divine Armament"?

Li Xia didn't want the first titled hunter he encountered to end so quickly.

On the contrary, he carefully controlled his power, testing the limits and abilities of his opponent little by little.

The saying "When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength" is true, but it only applies when both the lion and the rabbit know each other's strengths and weaknesses and are aware of their own capabilities.

But right now, Li Xia is completely clueless about the situation of titled hunters. If he doesn't take this opportunity to test them, should he wait until the really crucial moment to test them?

Just like the battles between apostles, they all begin with tests, gradually figuring out each other's limits and revealing their own cards one by one.

As for detection capabilities, many Apostles treat this ability as a starting point, habitually casting it before battle. But support is ultimately just support; what if they encounter an enemy they can't detect?

Therefore, Li Xia is trying his best to strip away the various aids given to him by the Temple of Light and focus only on himself.

He would only use the probe in crucial battles when he had no spare capacity to conduct tests, just to give himself a safety net.

Li Xia is creating a portrait of the Crimson Blood Mist here, defining its level in various aspects.

The crimson blood mist opposite him looked at Li Xia with astonishment, and only one thought crossed his mind: How is this possible?

The brief standoff lasted only half a second.

The crimson blood mist took a deep breath; the current situation was vastly different from what he had anticipated.

Clearly, this unknown creature, which has possessed the Dark Flame, is extremely powerful!

He held back, held the rapier upright in front of his chest, and gently stroked the spine of the blade with his fingertips, completely unleashing the power of the divine armor.

A crimson light rippled from the sword, spreading upwards along his wrist and arm like ripples on water.

Dark green, thorny vines emerged from under the skin, rapidly winding and twining along the limbs and torso, with crimson roses blooming at the nodes.

In an instant, half of his body was covered by vines and clusters of flowers, and his clothes were stretched to shreds, leaving only tattered strips hanging on his body, exuding a chilling ferocity amidst his eerie appearance.

This divine weapon is called "Crimson Rose".

The soil beneath their feet exploded in all directions, and the crimson blood mist vanished from its spot.

Li Xia's eyes widened slightly. After becoming a vegetable, the speed of the crimson blood mist actually increased several times.

The slender sword, shrouded in a hazy, bloody light, pierced straight into Li Xia's heart. At the same time, the sweet, cloying fragrance that had previously permeated the room wafted towards him.

Li Xia's wrist sank as he was about to parry with his gun when a sudden jolt went through his brow, his waist and abdomen twisted violently, and he slid half a meter to the side.

Several invisible and intangible high-frequency fluctuations spread out along the sword, silently covering an area several meters in front of him.

The shockwave brushed past his body, and his luxurious ministerial uniform instantly ripped open. The scattered strips of fabric were ground into powder by a strange force with a low, crisp sound.

They were then thrown into the sky, and before the dust had completely dissipated, the wind swept them away in all directions.

"laugh--"

A very soft sound.

On the alloy floor behind him, a smooth cut, about half a finger long and tens of meters long, slowly emerged.

The cross-section was as smooth as a mirror, without even the slightest metallic clanging sound, as if the alloy was meant to be separated.

But in an instant, the three little ones, who had been extremely relaxed, all became serious. Doing this was not difficult.

But what's rare is that it's silent. Even if Li Xia were to cut through metal with something like a slash, this instantaneous deformation would generate a great deal of heat.

Therefore, the cuts are dark red, and when cooled in the air, they emit a faint smoke.

Li Xia glanced down at the tattered clothes on her body, then at the metal scratches on her back.

This must be some kind of high-frequency oscillation cutting capability?

The crimson blood mist gripped the sword hilt tightly, and the muscles beneath the vines suddenly tensed. Just now, even titled hunters of the same rank could only withstand that blow by deploying their mental barrier.

This person dodged it using only physical reflexes?

It seems... I have no choice but to go all out!

The blood on the blade intensified, more roses bloomed on his neck, and in an instant, a dazzling sword light erupted in front of him.

The light almost filled the entire room, and Li Xia's eyes also shone brightly.

The true qi spiraled upwards along the spear shaft in layers, and in an instant, the spear seemed to transform into a white dragon swimming around his body.

If you can dodge, do it; if you can't dodge, just run into it.

block?

A faint, mocking smile reappeared on the crimson blood mist's face. If only they could have dodged everything.

However, he was using the power of the rules of divine armor at this moment. Those who were struck by this slender sword would have their bones and flesh shattered into powder from the inside, and their blood would explode into a sky full of blood mist, which is also the origin of the name "Crimson Blood Mist".

He moved faster and faster, the roses on his body swaying. Although they looked like delicate flowers, no matter how he moved, the roses only swayed gently and were not affected at all.

The rich floral fragrance grew stronger and stronger, and Reinhardt and Douglas felt the world before them begin to blur. Their bodies swayed uncontrollably, and finally they simply collapsed heavily to the ground.

The three little ones immediately realized: the fragrance of this flower was poisonous and could even bewitch the mind!

Almost instantly, Awoo raised a thin water shield, while Black Charcoal flicked out a ray of electricity, coating the water shield with an ionized layer.

As for the boss... if the poison released by this crimson blood mist can overcome the boss's detoxification ability of the wood element, then he'll be considered awesome.

In those few short seconds, the battle in the arena intensified, with violent cutting forces raging wildly within the barrier, tearing everything in their path to shreds.

If it weren't for the mental barrier, the fight between the two could probably have destroyed the entire back alley area in a short time.

Li Xia turned his spear and once again removed an invisible high-frequency cut.

Shattering them wasn't difficult, but each time they were shattered, the shockwave would travel along the gun barrel, as if the gun had activated a vibration mode.

As the tremor accumulated and grew stronger, the gun seemed to be jumping on its own.

Feeling the spear vibrating wildly, Li Xia quietly opened his grip on it slightly.

Crimson Blood Mist's eyes lit up—an opportunity!

He opened his mouth and let out a sharp shriek, a circular high-frequency vibrational sound wave shooting out from his mouth and enveloping Li Xia's head.

Suddenly, the rose rapier in her hand twisted and twisted, extending thorny vines that quickly surrounded and closed in.

It formed a giant vine ball that closed in.

Every thorn on the vine was trembling rapidly, and when they collided together, they made a buzzing sound like the simultaneous flapping of wings of a huge swarm of bees.

Li Xia, nestled among the vines, gently exhaled, and time seemed to slow down several times over at that moment.

He glanced at the vine ball that had been rapidly closing in, and the high-frequency vibrating spikes on the vines.

That's about all the opponent's abilities are...

He crouched slightly, pulling one leg back, and his body jolted violently. The anger he had been forcibly suppressing surged up like a raging fire, instantly reaching his head.

Her medium-length black hair suddenly billowed behind her head as if blown by the wind.

Almost at the same moment, the woody essence that had been lying peacefully in the liver palace seemed to be encouraged, boiling and cheering, and rising along the meridians.

The ground beneath his feet exploded, and an extremely powerful aura erupted from his body, which was as solid as diamond.

Li Xia raised his eyebrows high, his eyes filled with soaring anger, and stomped heavily on the ground, making the entire vine ball seem to leap off the ground.

True Qi, domineering aura, and the power of body control brought about by the breakthrough of "the ultimate skill" condensed together, and a faint flame seemed to rise from the fist.

The Time Chamber and the Landscape Painting—six years, countless punches and pulls, and he'd only honed this one move:

Deliberate, devastating punch!

"boom--!"

The moment the fist was thrust forward, a pale red flame rose from the fist, and the liver wood energy boiled with anger, giving rise to true fire.

It then combined with the true qi and domineering aura, condensing into a half-inch space at the edge of the fist, even the light was slightly distorted by this force.

The closing vine ball collided with the fist first.

The hundreds of trembling spikes should have shattered bones and flesh instantly, but before this punch, the high-frequency buzzing had barely begun when it was forcibly suppressed by an even more ruthless force.

The spikes began to crack from the tips, and the vines, like branches thrown into flames, rapidly carbonized and pulverized.

In the deepest, most muffled sound

The entire vine ball exploded from the inside out, and broken vines, wood chips, and shattered thorns were swept up by the force of the punches and rained down on all sides, carving countless deep pits into the alloy walls.

The three little ones exclaimed "Holy crap!" and immediately lay down on the ground, using all the defenses they could muster.

Amidst a dense barrage of clanging sounds, Li Xia's fist continued its forward thrust.

The alloy floor beneath his feet had already collapsed, cracking like a spiderweb, and his right fist, carrying a surging wave of air, hurtled straight towards the crimson blood mist.

The air was squeezed by the fist, producing a piercing crack, and the scarlet blood mist's pupils shrank to their extreme, the chill of death instantly gripping the heart.

"what!!!"

He screamed and held the crimson rose horizontally in front of him, instantly retracting the mental barrier that had spread out and converging it around his body in an attempt to block the punch.

Li Xia acted as if he hadn't seen anything. The emotions he had forcibly suppressed before erupted like a volcano. His extremely violent gaze was filled with murderous intent, as if he only wanted to tear the other person to pieces.

Block it? Can you even block it?

Chapter 8 Perilous Situation

The fist struck the spine of the Crimson Rose sword without any fancy moves.

With an extremely dull thud, the blade, which had been vibrating at a high frequency, was pressed down firmly, and the sharp buzzing stopped abruptly as if the power had been cut off.

The immense deformation force generated by this sudden change in state combined with Li Xia's extremely domineering fist, causing the Rose Rapier to bend to its limit instantly, like a fully drawn longbow.

This time, however, the bow failed to straighten again.

Fine cracks appeared on the spine of the sword, and then these cracks spread rapidly in all directions like a spider web.

With a sharp bang, the longsword wailed as it snapped in two.

The scarlet roses that were wrapped around the sword didn't even have time to wither before they were instantly crushed into dust by the high temperature and force of the fist, and scattered without a trace along the airflow.
