ILLIMITABLE UNTIL DEATH

"BOOM————!"

With a thunderous roar, the ground trembled violently as if struck by lightning, unleashing a powerful explosion. The chaotic air currents and shockwaves scattered debris and rubble like cannon fire, violently shooting in all directions.

At the epicenter of the explosion, the ground cracked and shattered inch by inch, and soon, a web of fissures spread out densely, resembling a spiderweb.

The center of the explosion now looked like it had been struck by a meteor, forming a large crater.

A crater with a diameter of several dozen meters.

Undoubtedly, this was the result of a direct hit from the giant axe.

In the center of the crater, Habi held her axe in a striking pose, her gaze sweeping all around.

"Over here!"

Habi abruptly turned around, swinging her massive axe like a storm, delivering a heavy blow behind her.

"Clang————!"

A sound as loud as a bell ringing echoed through the air as sparks flew at the point where the light sword and the massive axe collided, friction igniting a cascade of sparks.

It was Fang Li, who had appeared behind Habi at some point. He held his Ogre Lux upside down, blocking the enormous axe that had swung from his side.

"Zing…"

The light of Prana shimmered in Fang Li's hand, flowing into Bo Xie, causing the sword's edge to gleam brightly.

Even with the Prana reinforcement, Fang Li could still feel a terrifying, unstoppable force pressing against his sword hand. The impact numbed his grip, almost forcing him to let go of his weapon.

Just as Fang Li had predicted earlier, Habi's attacks were far from easy to withstand.

Of course, Habi herself was also surprised.

"You actually blocked it?"

Based on their previous battle, Habi had assumed that Fang Li was similar to Sun— someone who specialized in agility and mobility.

With such incredible speed, combined with a one-hit kill technique, Fang Li would be a true nightmare to face.

And Fang Li indeed possessed such a technique.

An ability capable of killing anything— even the Scarlet Blazing God, and the mysterious Irokane.

It was precisely because of this ability that the Scarlet Blazing God had taken an interest in Fang Li.

After all, it was an unprecedented crisis.

Habi had long mentally prepared for this.

She was ready for the possibility that a single strike from Fang Li could result in instant death.

But what she hadn't expected was that Fang Li also had such formidable defensive power.

"You're breaking all the rules. I'm starting to wonder if you're even human."

Saying this, Habi raised her massive battle axe high.

However, before Habi could bring down the axe, Fang Li made his move.

"Flashing Scabbard— Seven Nights Curtain!"

It was an even faster strike than Nanaya, a slash at the pinnacle of God Speed— God Speed itself.

"Qiāng————!"

The sharp sound of the sword resounded once again, and the brilliant blade gleamed like a moon shadow under the night sky. It turned into a ray of light, cutting through space like an aurora, slashing forward.

"Ah!"

Habi let out a small gasp of surprise.

Faced with Fang Li's ultimate speed slash, even someone as agile as Sun wouldn't be able to dodge, let alone Habi, whose strength lay in power, but whose speed was inferior to Sun's.

Without hesitation, Habi used her trump card, a life-saving skill.

"Buzz————!"

Golden particles suddenly appeared around Habi, enveloping her completely.

"Slash!"

The sound of the slash pierced the air as the Ultra God Speed strike sliced through the golden particles, splitting them as easily as cutting through butter. However, inside, Habi had already vanished.

"Another teleportation, huh?"

Fang Li's ice-blue Mystic Eyes scanned the surroundings before locking in a particular direction.

In that direction, golden particles reappeared out of thin air, swirling together like a vortex, and Habi jumped out from within.

"That was close," Habi said with a playful grin. "If it weren't for this trick, whether yesterday or today, I would've already lost to you."

This made it clear— when it came to sheer combat power, Fang Li was still superior to both Sun and Habi.

However, both Sun and Habi had the ability to use the power of the Hihi'irokane.

So, for Fang Li, the true threat wasn't necessarily Sun or Habi, but the Hihi'irokane—or more accurately, the Scarlet Blazing God.

"I thought you wouldn't have such power, Habi," Fang Li said, raising his gaze, his ice-blue Mystic Eyes fixed on Habi's form.

"After all, Habi doesn't have the Hihi'irokane."

Unfortunately, that was a misunderstanding.

"I am the Irokane, and the Irokane is me," Habi replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Unlike you humans, who can't do much without your bodies, I can use my abilities as long as I possess someone's body."

For Fang Li, having a body was necessary for him to wield his current power. If his body were swapped, even if he retained his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, his physical attributes and abilities would change drastically.

If Fang Li's soul were to enter an ordinary person's body, he'd lose his current abilities. Even if he could use his Nanaya Assassination Techniques, his incredible speed would be gone.

But the Scarlet Blazing God was different.

The Scarlet Blazing God was the consciousness of the Hihi'irokane. In other words, the Hihi'irokane was its body.

And the Hihi'irokane itself was a crystallization of extraordinary abilities.

Even without its original body, as long as it possessed another, the Scarlet Blazing God could still use its power.

Sun had been born because of the Irokane within his body, which gave rise to an incomplete version of the Scarlet Blazing God.

Habi, having merged with the soul of Oda Nobunaga— who was once the Scarlet Blazing God— could similarly serve as a vessel for the Scarlet Blazing God.

"Of course, both of them are incomplete versions, so they can only use a limited number of abilities," Habi said calmly. 

"That's why both Sun and I can only use Ruyi Bang and Somersault Cloud, and only once per day."

After making this statement, Habi lifted her head and her smile turned sinister and then she spoke with an ominous tone.

"But once is enough."

Crimson light began to shine from Habi's body.

"Zing————!"

One of Habi's eyes suddenly turned a deep crimson, shining as brightly as a star.

In that instant, Fang Li's body froze.

He was locked in place, overwhelmed by an impending sense of danger.

As Habi's eye continued to glow with a radiant crimson light, Fang Li understood.

"It's finally here, huh?"

The one technique that could threaten Fang Li— a certain-kill move, the light-speed laser beam that could pierce anything: Ruyi Bang.

"I thought it would be Sun who used this on me. I didn't expect it to be Habi."

In truth, it wasn't Sun or Habi who was using this technique against Fang Li.

It was the Scarlet Blazing God.

Therefore, Fang Li's response remained unchanged.

"Time to risk it all."
