Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 303: IUD-CHAPTER 303 VICTORY AND DEFEAT

Like a mirage, Fang Li disappeared without any warning, leaving no trace behind and it was as if he had never existed in the first place.

Toudou Kirin’s complexion changed slightly at this inexplicable vanishing act.

“What?

I can’t even sense his aura?”

This was truly baffling.

After all, Genestellars possessed Prana, and each Genestellar could sense Prana.

Therefore, to completely conceal one’s presence, not only did they need to eliminate their aura, but they also had to suppress the flow of Prana to a minimum, allowing them to hide from fellow Genestellar experts.

At this moment, Toudou Kirin couldn’t sense even a trace of Fang Li’s aura, it was as if he had genuinely disappeared, sending shivers down her spine.

Without wasting any time, Toudou Kirin quickly raised Senbakiri to protect herself.

However, at this very moment, a figure silently materialized behind Toudou Kirin.

“Clang—!”

Bursting sparks and crisp collision sounds filled the air as the dagger-form Bo Xie landed on Senbakiri.

Fang Li had appeared soundlessly, sweeping past Toudou Kirin’s side like a flash of light.

His dagger, like the sharp claws of a ferocious beast, fiercely scraped against Senbakiri, creating intense friction.

Just as Toudou Kirin was about to counterattack, Fang Li vanished once again.

“Chii—!”

At an astonishing speed, Fang Li’s figure transformed entirely into a series of phantoms.

With the unmistakable sound of space being torn apart, these phantoms seemed to attack Toudou Kirin from all directions, their attacks relentless.

Each time Fang Li darted by, Bo Xie would surge from an exceedingly tricky angle, much like a venomous snake striking out of its den.

It carried a hint of murderous intent and sliced fiercely toward Toudou Kirin.

“Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang—!”

A continuous cacophony of collision sounds echoed through the air.

This time, Toudou Kirin was pushed into a full defensive stance.

She struggled to fend off the slashes coming from all directions, her petite figure resembling a solitary boat in a storm, desperately battling the tumultuous waves, her movements awkward and her steps disorganized, making the situation incredibly perilous.

It appeared as though an invisible multitude of assailants was relentlessly attacking Toudou Kirin from all sides, leaving her with no choice but to block desperately.

Sparks continually burst from Senbakiri, broadcasting to onlookers that Toudou Kirin was under assault.

“Goodness, so fast!”

Toudou Kirin had already broken into a sweat.

She was renowned as the inheritor of a school famous for its high-speed continuous strikes, and her forte lay in attack speed.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to execute the endless stream of continuous strikes that trapped her opponents.

However, at this moment, Toudou Kirin had to admit that Fang Li’s attack speed far exceeded her own.

Moreover, his movement speed was astonishingly exceptional.

Thus, Toudou Kirin came to a realization.

Fang Li was an unequivocal speed-type fighter.

In their previous duel, this direct disciple of “Banyuu Tenra” had not yet displayed his true strength.

“Very strong…”

For the second time, Toudou Kirin muttered this thought.

However, unlike before, this time her admiration was unmistakably directed toward Fang Li himself.

“However, I also have a reason not to lose easily…”

Toudou Kirin took a deep breath, raising Senbakiri in her hand as her body emanated a radiant aura of Prana.

Although Fang Li’s speed was terrifying, rendering Toudou Kirin unable to catch up, being unable to catch up didn’t mean she couldn’t react.

Her innate skills allowed her to see through this.

“In the instant of launching an attack, the opponent’s aura cannot be perfectly concealed.”

So, what Toudou Kirin said was visible.

In that instant, the radiance of Prana in Toudou Kirin’s eyes blazed like flames.

“Chii—!”

At the same time, a sword flash streaked beside Toudou Kirin, striking with lightning speed towards her.

“It’s right here!”

Toudou Kirin made a sudden turn, raising Senbakiri high in the air to gather all her strength.

She slashed down forcefully.

“Clang—!”

The loudest collision sound yet resonated, akin to a resounding bell, reverberating all around.

Finally, Toudou Kirin’s strike, powered by her entire body, flicked the attacking dagger away, causing Fang Li’s figure to momentarily stall, appearing in Toudou Kirin’s line of sight.

“I’ve got you now!”

Following Conjoined Cranes’ technique, Toudou Kirin executed a swift backswing along the path of her previous strike.

Senbakiri’s blade turned into a ray of light, slicing towards the insignia on Fang Li’s chest.

That was Fang Li’s school emblem.

In the city of school battles, the destruction of emblems was the criterion for defeat in all duels.

Hence, even though this confrontation aimed to gather armed information and Fang Li and Toudou Kirin hadn’t officially challenged each other through emblems, the victory conditions remained based on the emblem’s destruction.

Therefore, Toudou Kirin swung her Senbakiri towards Fang Li’s emblem with a sharp and swift motion.

However, Toudou Kirin failed to notice that, facing her rapid slash, Fang Li remained unflustered.

Instead, a faint smile adorned his face.

Upon closer inspection, Bo Xie in Fang Li’s hand had disappeared, not literally vanished but rather released by Fang Li, and it plunged into the ground following gravity.

“Clang—!”

The next moment, the Bo Xie plunged into the ground and burst into a brilliant white flash.

Beneath this flash, the sturdy ground suddenly trembled and transformed into sharp spikes that shot up from all directions.

These sharp spikes ripped through the air, mercilessly attacking Toudou Kirin from all sides.

“Ah—!”

Startled, Toudou Kirin couldn’t overthink the situation.

She quickly retracted Senbakiri, focusing all her Prana to maximize her defensive power.

However, the sharp spikes, which had erupted from all directions, came to an abrupt stop less than a centimeter away from her body.

Among them, the thickest spike stopped right in front of Toudou Kirin’s throat.

“I win…”

With these words, Fang Li pulled out Bo Xie from the ground.

He then calmly swung his dagger toward the emblem on Toudou Kirin’s chest.

Unable to move, with spikes surrounding her, Toudou Kirin could only watch helplessly as her emblem was sliced in two.

The victor was now clear.
