My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Oh? What a laughable fellow. What makes you think you can kill me, you weakling?" Shadow sneered as he looked at the murderous Li Kai.

"Weak? If you underestimate me like that, you'll regret it!"

"Interesting. Let me see who gave you the courage!"

"Xueying!" Li Kai slowly turned his gaze to the girl.

"No, you can't use it again now." Xueying shook her head in strong resistance, because her body wouldn't be able to handle it if she were to release him again.

"Do you think there's still a chance to consider it? That guy's target is very obvious." Li Kai said with amusement as he looked at the conflicted girl.

"But even so, you can't, I don't want you to," Xueying said hesitantly, her expression filled with reluctance.

"Or I can hold him off while you slip away!"

"Idiot, do you know what you're saying?!" Li Kai tapped her forehead lightly while irritably ruffling her hair.

"Do you think I'm that kind of jerk to let me leave first at a time like this?"

"But you can't either."

"A man is born to stand tall and upright! Even the weak have the right to struggle! Even the weak can unleash unparalleled brilliance!"

"I don't want to be a coward, I don't want to live in regret, I don't want to experience that helpless despair anymore!" Scenes from the past suddenly flashed before Li Kai's eyes. If he had dared to fight back then, he would have been so foolish!

"For you, and for me, I will never let go this time!" Li Kai suddenly gripped the hilt of the knife at the girl's waist.

"What a big idiot." Xueying shuddered, then whispered reproachfully, "Fine, let me go crazy with you this once."

"Thank you so much."

"Drive Liberation!" Yu Ruoxue's body gently fell to the ground, and pure white light instantly enveloped Li Kai. The trembling, excited blade and boundless power began to fill his entire body. At this moment, he seemed unstoppable, but the price he paid was his body, which was on the verge of collapse, and his life force was slowly fading away.

"Come and fight!" Li Kai swung his sword, severing the white light in front of him. The cold, sharp light pointed directly at the shadow in front of him. He took a small step and arrived in an instant.

"No, the person is still here, so who are you?"

"I see, incomplete drive liberation, hahaha!! This is really interesting! Liberation is achieved solely by relying on the weapon itself." Looking at Li Kai's current expression, Shadow immediately understood.

"How could you possibly be my match in this form?"

"Pfft!" The only answer he received was the cold glint in his eyes, and a thin line of blood suddenly appeared on his face, with a faint smell of blood lingering in the air.

"With my current strength," Li Kai said arrogantly, his tone dismissive.

"Not bad, you actually managed to hurt me. I acknowledge you, human!" Shadow licked the blood off his cheek, looking at Li Kai with excitement.

"Who cares if you admit it!" Li Kai muttered to himself, and without hesitation, swung his katana at the man's head.

"Clang!" Just one centimeter away from his head, the blood-stained blade abruptly blocked Li Kai's attack.

“This counts as a sneak attack, yes! It’s not polite to sneak attack while I’m talking.” Shadow, raising his long sword, struggled to utter these words.

"You're still in the mood to complain at a time like this? You're just being deliberately cute!" Li Kai was surprised to feel the tremor coming from the blade; its power was in no way inferior to his own.

"Maliciously acting cute? What is cute? Can you eat it?" Shadow asked again innocently, his expression very sincere.

"Damn it!" Li Kai shut his mouth completely this time. If this continued, he would lose without even having to fight.

"Bang bang bang!!" The dull impacts and the blinding flashes of cold light—in the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged countless blows.

Each attack was fierce and powerful, each move was unstoppable, but what they got in return was a calm and collected defense.

No matter which angle Li Kai attacked from, Shadow always blocked his attacks perfectly and in the least strenuous way, which was really frustrating!

"Hoo hoo, what a troublesome guy. No wonder he's so confident!" Li Kai panted heavily, his body already drenched in sweat after only a short while.

"I told you long ago, it's unlikely that an incomplete liberation can defeat me." Shadow stood calmly in place, never leaving the spot.

"Hmph, such arrogance will backfire!" Li Kai snorted coldly and charged forward again.

"Useless!" Shadow said disdainfully, watching Li Kai slash towards him. "Repeating the same moves is no match for me."

"Is that so?" Just as he was about to strike, Li Kai suddenly clenched his fists horizontally.

"Pfft!" Before he could react, Shadow suddenly had a bloody gash on his chest.

Li Kai curled his lip in disdain, his expression incredibly smug, and said, "See, I told you, you'd suffer a great loss if you were this arrogant!"

"Human, you have truly enraged me!!" Shadow roared after staring at his chest for dozens of seconds.

"Boom!" Like a cannonball, his entire body shot towards Li Kai.

"Oh no, this guy's about to explode!" Just as Li Kai was about to dodge, he saw the enraged Shadow and found that his body suddenly went out of control.

"Damn, what's going on?"

"Die, human!" Shadow grinned savagely, his longsword slashing towards Li Kai's chest.

"Pfft!" The bloodthirsty longsword swiftly sucked the blood from his chest, leaving a long wound that stretched almost across his entire body.

"Get out of here!" Li Kai used all his strength to forcefully slash the long sword in front of his chest.

"Hoo hoo, what just happened? Why did my body become uncontrollable? I was clearly able to hold on." Li Kai was surprised as he felt the abnormality in his body, but he couldn't find anything.

"Human, though you hate me and are surprised, there is a fatal mistake you are unaware of," Shadow said, looking down at Li Kai lying on the ground.

"A fatal mistake?" Li Kai squinted, blood already dripping from his mouth.

"How long can you maintain this incomplete liberation? But it is indeed your best choice, however..."

"You chose the wrong target. You should never have chosen my treasure, because..." Shadow's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile, and the long sword in his hand was already raised in front of him.

"Why?" Li Kai suddenly thought of something and murmured in confusion.

"Because her shackles were given by me, she has always been under my control!" With those last words, Shadow's longsword easily severed Li Kai's head, and blood splattered everywhere in an instant.
