Alone and Infinite

Li Xia suddenly received a notification.

[Executioner, your weapon Nightfall has been sealed.]

[Duration: This Deathmatch]

Crimson runes descended from the void, forming chains that firmly bound Ye Ji.

Li Xia had never seen Ye Ji so angry; blinding blue lightning crackled incessantly.

The gun trembled violently, trying to break free of its chains.

However, it was clear that the other side had paid a very high price, as these blood-red chains were exceptionally tough.

"Hahahaha-"

A burst of maniacal laughter rang out from afar, and Bali's left eye had become a black hole.

He didn't sacrifice his left eye, but rather the vision in his left eye!

The Demon Contract is extremely powerful, unless there is an item that can exceed its binding force.

But it was all worth it!

Victory is the only guarantee to gain access to a large amount of resources from the opponent!

Lyle, that idiot, only saw the weapon. No matter how strong a Tier 2 weapon is, it's still just Tier 2.

But what Bali saw were Li Xia's skills and defensive equipment.

The sheer intensity of his punching waves, sword beams, and close-combat spear skills must have cost a fortune in time-space copper coins.

And that kind of armor that's clearly parasitic is a perfect match for him!

Guilds can provide almost anything, except for Time-Space Coins and rare equipment.

Baal grinned:

"Lucky little loser, are you ready to die?"

The red drizzle seemed to stop abruptly for a moment.

"boom!"

The ground beneath Baal's feet suddenly cracked open, and the flying debris, stained with black flames, burst open like black fireworks.

His speed was astonishing; he rushed to Li Xia's side in an instant.

A sinister smile crept across his lips. Was he terrified?

Suddenly, a jet-black flame erupted from his left fist. Bayin had extremely strong confidence in close-quarters combat.

He relied on his demonic body with a physical strength of 3 and a self-healing speed of up to 300%.

There's also the Kyo Kusanagi Ancient Martial Arts Style (97) with Infusion Skill LV3!

A left fist burning with black flames roared down.

114th Style: Wild Bite!

Bali even pictured the boy being hit by that punch, his body engulfed in black flames.

Then came the scene of him being hit by his own 128th move, Nine Wounds, and 127th move in succession, dying in agony.

almost

This punch—

A hand emitting a faint white light suddenly landed on his wrist.

The gentle force wasn't particularly strong, yet it carried a strange power that pulled the left fist off course.

It grazed just centimeters from the tip of Li Xia's nose.

Baal: ?

A faint sense of foreboding arose in my heart.

A shrill whistle rang in his ears, and another fist was already hurtling toward his face.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to lose its color, and all that remained in the one-eyed eye's vision was the ever-growing fist.

Bali's pupils contracted as he tried to turn his head to dodge, while simultaneously channeling all his strength into a shrill howl.

He suddenly raised his right knee, trying to force Li Xia to back away.

Li Xia's spine undulated like a great dragon, and the Baji Liangyi Stance crushed the ground beneath his feet, transmitting immense power through his legs.

He released his grip on Bali's wrist and, in a swift motion, tapped the inside of Bali's wrist with his knuckles.

Bali suddenly felt numbness on the left side of his body, as if he had lost consciousness.

But Li Xia's movements didn't stop. After striking, he slapped down with his hand, blocking the opponent's knee strike while twisting it sharply.

Bali trembled involuntarily and staggered backward.

Fear rises silently; some things can be revealed in the very moment of a confrontation.

Without pausing for a moment, Li Xia lunged forward, amidst hundreds of astonished gazes.

With fists and palms flying, Li Xia's movements were almost a blur, and Bali seemed to have lost control of his body.

He couldn't even move an inch; the continuous force thwarted any attempt by Bayin to move his body.

Even Master Roshi could only force Li Xia back by using his explosive power, let alone Baal.

"call----"

The air exploded with a metallic, distorted hum.

Li Xia's left foot crushed the bluestone slab beneath his feet, and the fine stone chips were blown away by the wind generated by his right hip swirling behind him before they could even fly.

The force coiling around the waist rises segment by segment like a giant python twisting around a pillar, while the great dragon of the spine bursts forth from the coccyx.

A deep, tiger-like roar resounded from that taut, powerful body.

A burst of intense white flames suddenly emanated from his body.

His muscles were twisted into steel cables, and the airflow generated when his left shoulder moved forward distorted into visible transparent ripples.

Before his shoulder even reached him, the burst of wind had already blew against Bali's face, which was filled with extreme fear.

Monster!

Why, if there are already such powerful marksmanship skills, would there be fighting techniques even more terrifying than marksmanship?

"I—I admit it—"

"Oh!"

The ground collapsed under the combined reaction forces, creating a pit several feet deep.

A ring of air exploded from the spot.

Bali's body flew backward like a cannonball, seemingly even faster than when he was charging forward.

"Boom!"

A dull thud, much louder than before, came from afar.

Baal's limbs were outstretched, and his chest was strangely concave, hovering in mid-air.

The translucent wall behind him glowed faintly, and it took about ten seconds before his body slid down the wall.

Li Xia slowly straightened up, walked over, and retrieved the bloody key that had floated on Bali's body.

It was as easy as picking up a key that was rightfully yours.

[Executioner, you have won the battle to the death!]

[Executioner, you have defeated the number one player in the arena's top ten.]

[Special Phase Mission: Path of Glory Completion Progress Increased]

[Effect of the Top Ten Honor Badge in Competition]

[Executioner, you have become the strongest in the second-tier arena!]

Chapter 203 Khorne? A Special Bloody Key!

"Bang!"

Inside the top ten's private room, someone smashed their wine glass and left with a livid face.

Some people stood there blankly, seemingly still reeling from the lightning-fast exchange.

Some people raised their hands and cheered, and immediately began a completely new setup.

Some people's eyes flickered thoughtfully, pondering the information revealed by this battle.

These different reactions and outcomes constitute the myriad forms of sentient beings.

"Dead? He's dead just like that?"

After thinking for a moment, Starlight directly dialed Behemoth's private chat; this friendship was forged through countless interactions.

"Is it convenient for me to come over or you to come over?"

OK!"

Just as the communication ended, two figures slowly emerged from the VIP room of the top ten.

Behemoth's rugged face was furrowed with thick eyebrows, and Lisa kept taking out her communicator to make calls.

They might have thought Baal would lose, but they certainly didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The guild's countermeasures department hadn't even prepared a contingency plan.

The Brotherhood of Steel and Arcane have a decent relationship, much like the Freemasons of Light and Hellfire have a good relationship.

It was precisely because of this delicate relationship that Lyle of the Freemasons of Light agreed to cooperate with Baal.

"You had a conflict with Baal, what do you say?"

As soon as he appeared, Starlight couldn't wait to ask a question. He didn't know much about Baal, but as the top player in the arena, his strength was definitely sufficient.

But his performance in the deathmatch was simply a joke!

"It's hard to say—"

Behemoth withdrew his gaze from Lisa and the old man. The two guild's second-tier affairs officers were already discussing in hushed tones, presumably plotting how to seize the spoils.

However, none of this concerned him; he just needed to follow instructions.

"Baal is an A+ level demon bloodline, with the ability to manipulate emotions."

The time I fought him, I almost lost. Luckily, after transforming, I could go berserk, only able to distinguish friend from foe, and losing my sanity.

Behemoth's eyes held a hint of memory:

"That ability is terrifying. There are no signs of anything unusual, and you fall victim to it without even realizing it."

Starlight paused, stunned:

"Judging from the battle just now, Xia didn't seem to be affected at all, and quickly killed his opponent."

Behemoth scratched his head and said uncertainly:

"Is it too fast, so it hasn't fully realized its potential yet?"

"No need to guess anymore—"

Lisa's voice came over, interrupting their conversation. They both turned to look at her and saw her wave her hand.

The virtual light screen then projected out:

"This is some information about Baal that I just retrieved using the guild's advanced privileges. Take a look."

While alive, apostles are protected by relevant rules, but once they die, there is naturally no need for such protection.

Especially for top-tier guilds with considerable authority, it's not difficult to access information about a deceased apostle, provided they pay a price.
