Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 256

As Fang Li raised the sharp dagger high, pointing it toward the sky, an unprecedented and terrifying murderous aura began to pervade the surroundings.

“————!”

Sensing the lethal murderous aura, Sherlock’s heart tightened, and his complexion grew solemn.

Sherlock knew that Fang Li possessed extremely powerful trump cards.

Fang Li had just used one of those trump cards not long ago.

With it, Fang Li’s power had surged to an astonishing level in an instant, leaving Sherlock with no time to react. By the time he did, Fang Li had already launched an attack on Hidan.

Unfortunately, while this trump card was potent, its side effects were equally dreadful.

Even though Fang Li employed it, Sherlock still had ways to deal with it.

However, now, Sherlock realized he was wrong.

Fang Li did indeed hide a remarkably powerful trump card.

But this trump card wasn’t the only one.

“To be honest, this is the first time I’ve used it in actual combat,” Fang Li said softly, still keeping his eyes closed.

“Though I’ve practiced it many times, I still haven’t fully mastered this move. It can only exhibit half of its effectiveness. However, it’s the most powerful technique in the Nanaya Assassination Technique that I’ve learned, and it can even be called a Certain Kill Technique.”

“Is that so?” Sherlock nodded, somewhat unsurprisingly. “I’ve also deduced from your skills that you possess a very formidable Assassination Technique, but I didn’t anticipate that you haven’t displayed its full potential.”

“Therefore, it’s my only hope to immediately defeat you,” Fang Li said with indifference. “Even with only half its effect, if you’re able to withstand it, then go ahead and try.”

With those words, a murderous aura gradually emanated from Fang Li’s entire body. It thickened bit by bit, becoming a tangible pressure that spread all around like a substantial presence.

The piercing murderous aura caused Sherlock’s body to tense and his weapon to rise slowly.

A sword reminiscent of those wielded by medieval knights reappeared in Sherlock’s hand.

Evidently, Sherlock had retrieved this sword when he had used Hidan for teleportation.

After all, it was a precious item lent to Sherlock by Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom. It wasn’t something he could casually lose.

Gripping the sword, Sherlock raised his head and, with a pair of eyes lacking any focal point, gazed in Fang Li’s direction.

“Kacha————!”

Simultaneously, behind Sherlock, the entrance of the ICBM, transformed into a manned vehicle, suddenly opened.

According to Sherlock’s logical precognition, he should have boarded the ICBM at this point.

Regrettably, Fang Li’s appearance had thwarted Sherlock’s deduction.

Confronted with the provocative murderous aura, Sherlock admitted that without Hidan, he had no way of turning his back to Fang Li and entering the ICBM.

Therefore, Sherlock could only face Fang Li, extending his senses like tendrils to replace his vision and observe all the movements around him.

“So...”

Only now did Fang Li abruptly speak.

“I’m on board.”

The murderous aura erupted like flames.

“Qiāng————!”

With a melodious sword’s cry, a streak of light suddenly burst forth, resembling a spiral aurora, violently shooting forward.

That was Fang Li’s Moonlight Dagger.

At that very moment, Fang Li’s body tensed up like a spinning top. He performed a swift spin, forcefully hurling the Moonlight Dagger from his hand.

It wasn’t a simple throw, but rather a sudden thrust of his entire gathered power. Thus, the dagger, imbued with Fang Li’s full-body power, transformed into an extremely fast-rotating bullet, fleeting through space, and shot violently toward Sherlock.

The speed was astonishingly quick.

Sherlock, who had released his senses like radar waves, reacted promptly. Almost the instant the spiraling aurora shot forth, he raised the sword in his hand, blocking it before him.

“Chī————!”

Under the sharp sound of wind being sliced, the dagger in the form of a spiraling bullet approached at an electrifying speed, heavily colliding with the sword.

“Clank————!”

The loud collision sound reverberated like the waves produced by striking a bell, spreading in all directions.

At that moment, Sherlock was suddenly alarmed.

Because Sherlock could distinctly feel the incredible force transmitted by the dagger that had landed on his weapon.

It was as if a train had rammed into it.

In this situation, with the dagger carrying all his power, Fang Li was propelled backward, his feet skidding on the ground as his figure rapidly retreated.

“Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji————!”

The dagger, resembling a spiraling bullet, relentlessly collided with Sherlock’s sword. Intense sparks ignited with each friction, emanating terrifying power that incessantly surged through Sherlock’s body.

“Ugh... Aaah, Aaah————!”

Sherlock, who was swiftly retreating, couldn’t help but let out a low growl. He tightly gripped the sword, desperately defending against the powerful force attacking him. His weapon remained in his hand even as his knuckles numbed.

No, it should be said that he couldn’t let go.

If he did, the dagger’s relentless momentum would transform into an uncontrollable force, like an unleashed wild stallion, piercing through Sherlock’s body like a laser.

Therefore, Sherlock absolutely couldn’t release the sword in his hand.

“Bang————!”

A surge of intense wind pressure erupted from Sherlock’s body.

At this moment, Sherlock chose to use his superhuman ability to assist him in defense.

Under the powerful gust, Sherlock’s entire body seemed to be enveloped in an invisible wind armor. His figure, which had been forcefully retreating, gradually stabilized. The surging air current blessed his arm strength, allowing Sherlock to withstand the incoming attack.

The dagger, resembling a spiraling bullet, was finally forced to a stop. Its rotational speed waned.

“Clang————!”

At a certain instant, accompanied by the crisp sound, and sparks emanating, the dagger lodged into Sherlock’s sword suddenly flew off.

However, almost simultaneously, Sherlock’s complexion changed.

“I knew that this level wouldn’t be enough to deal with you.”

With this voice, a figure soundlessly darted into Sherlock’s embrace.

“Swish————!”

The dagger, which had somehow returned to its master’s hand, sliced through the air, separating the wind pressure surrounding Sherlock’s body. It shot out like lightning with a sudden thrust.

“Spurt————!”

Amidst the sound of tearing, a spatter of blood shot into the air, sprinkling the sky.

Accompanied by a voice that was almost a low chant.

“Extreme Death-Seven Nights...”
