Illimitable Until Death Chapter 260

Chapter 260

“Entered the 2nd Floor of the Tower of Trial, starting the trial.”

“Serial Number 11273, you need to defeat 100 Rank 5 opponents within one hour. If the number of defeated opponents does not meet the requirement after one hour, this trial will be declared a failure.”

“Note that the opponents you need to defeat have the same Attributes as you. If you are accidentally killed, you will die permanently and will not have a chance to revive.”

This notification sound was nearly identical to the one on the 1st Floor of the Tower of Trial.

Together with the desert before him and his previous experience of challenging it once, Fang Li knew exactly what kind of opponents he needed to face next.

“Shā Shā…”

With that sound, dark shadows began to approach from all around the desert.

Fang Li lifted his head and scanned his surroundings.

He saw scorpions emerging from the sandy dunes, each the size of a calf, with blood-red eyes gleaming like crimson gems, fixated on the lone prey in the desert.

In an instant, the entire area around Fang Li was occupied by these pitch-black scorpions. It felt like he was trapped in a desperate situation, and an atmosphere of solemn killing intent began to permeate the air.

In response, Fang Li’s lips curled into a smile.

“Pā Tà…”

With a subtle sound, a dagger as silvery as moonlight fell into Fang Li’s palm.

“It’s been a while since I had a good slaughter…” Muttering these words, Fang Li’s eyes suddenly transformed into a chilling ice blue.

The somber atmosphere in the air was instantly replaced by an icy coldness.

An intense pressure began to emanate from Fang Li’s body, gradually filling the surroundings.

“————!”

Perhaps due to sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Fang Li’s body, the scorpions all took a step back.

Soon after, these scorpions suddenly burrowed into the sand.

“Shā Shā————!”

Amid the sound of sand being kicked up, the scorpions swiftly disappeared into the sand, causing the dust to fill the air around them.

Shortly afterward, subtle mounds appeared in the desert, resembling sharks swimming in an ocean. They moved stealthily toward Fang Li’s direction.

This was the difference between the scorpions on the 2nd Floor and those on the 1st Floor.

The scorpions on the 1st Floor simply rushed towards the enemy without considering anything else.

The scorpions on the 2nd Floor, however, began to display tactical prowess. They hid within the sandy ground like venomous snakes, ready to strike and launch attacks at any moment.

Last time, Fang Li had been stopped here.

“But this time is different.”

In the world of “Hidan No Aria,” Fang Li had learned quite a few techniques.

In the a.s.sault-oriented cla.s.ses, they were taught tracking skills and counter-tracking skills. Butei were trained to detect enemies through footprints, sounds, and even visual cues.

As an S-Rank Butei at Butei High, Fang Li excelled in tracking and counter-tracking skills almost perfectly.

So, unlike the last time, Fang Li wouldn’t panic in this situation.

Now, Fang Li slightly closed his eyes and tilted his head to the side, listening carefully to the sounds around him.

“Hū————!”

That was the sound of the wind.

“Shā Shā————!”

“This is the sound of sand.”

“These sounds created noise, causing significant interference.”

However, this level of noise was nothing at all.

After all, in the a.s.sault-Oriented courses, there was training to distinguish specific footsteps from a mult.i.tude of noises using earphones.

Thus, Fang Li focused his mind, using his previous experience to instantly block out both the sound of the wind and the sound of sand.

Then, Fang Li sensed it.

The flow of sand around him had changed compared to the surroundings.

Moreover, the sound of multiple-legged movements, resembling spiders, mixed with the sound, entered Fang Li’s ears.

Furthermore, the place where he stood began to experience a slight trembling, growing stronger. Fang Li suddenly opened his eyes and took a step back towards the rear.

“Pu————！”

Almost at the same time, along with the sound of sand being flung, a dark figure shot out from the sandy ground, rus.h.i.+ng out from the spot where Fang Li had just stood.

It was, without a doubt, the scorpion lurking beneath the sandy ground.

Leaping into the air, the large black scorpion emerged from the sandy ground and soared upward, like a jump.

Naturally, the image of this scorpion was clearly etched into the view of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

The fractured Death Line appeared on the scorpion’s surface.

“Qiāng————!”

A blade of light ignited.

“Pū Chī————!”

Amidst the sound of tearing, the sharp dagger viciously sliced through the scorpion’s st.u.r.dy sh.e.l.l, following the cracked Death Line.

And a flash of blood suddenly appeared in the air.

The jet-black scorpion barely had time to let out a scream before being sliced in half, its thick blood staining the desert.

The frigid atmosphere in the air was completely ignited.

In the next second, as if triggering a chain reaction, numerous black giant scorpions suddenly leaped out of the sandy ground. They soared upward like flying fish leaping from the water, launching rapid attacks from all around Fang Li.

Simultaneously, from the sandy ground around Fang Li, hooked tails emerged one after another, much like the fangs of venomous snakes, slas.h.i.+ng through the air and aiming for Fang Li.

In an instant, Fang Li was surrounded by a barrage of attacks, seemingly covering the sky and earth, plunging him into a perilous situation.

If it were the old Fang Li, facing this situation, he would definitely choose to evade.

However, the tactical training at Butei High greatly honed Fang Li’s adaptability.

Thus, facing the onslaught of attacks that seemed to cover the sky and earth, Fang Li lifted one leg.

“Flas.h.i.+ng Dash— Flying Moon！”

Like a meteor, a powerful strike was released from Fang Li’s foot, landing on the ground.

“Bang————！”

Amidst the explosive sound, the sandy ground directly shattered. The shock wave was so intense that it lifted the sand like splashes of water, forming a sandy veil that spread in all directions.

The giant scorpions that had leaped from all directions rushed into the sandy veil.

However, at this moment, Fang Li within the sandy veil had already vanished.

“Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang———！”

The giant scorpions that had leaped from all directions collided fiercely in midair, before being sent flying one after another.

Before those giant scorpions could land on the ground, figures suddenly flashed in the desert. Like mirages, they appeared behind each of the giant scorpions.

“Flas.h.i.+ng Scabbard—Instant Prison!”

Countless figures suddenly surged.

Daggers cut through the sky.

“Pū Chī Pū Chī Pū Chī————！”

Amidst the intense sound of physical bodies being torn apart, the sharp daggers plunged into the bodies of the giant scorpions, causing blood to spurt out.
