Chapter 252

So,

he lifted his foot and slowly walked toward the left,

observing Li Xiao's movements as he went!

However,

as he walked toward the left,

Li Xiao's gaze also slowly shifted toward the left!

Seeing this,

Absalom's heart gave another jolt of shock!

Without bothering to analyze the situation,

he hurriedly ran toward the right!

However,

as he ran to the right,

Li Xiao's gaze followed along to the right,

and even the speed of the shift quickened as he ran!

Seeing this,

Absalom wore a look of utter disbelief,

and began frantically running back and forth, left and right, in wild, erratic patterns!

However,

no matter how he ran,

Li Xiao's gaze always followed him closely!

After a long while,

Absalom himself grew tired from running,

and immediately stopped,

no longer caring that he was still in his invisible state,

and couldn't help but shout at Li Xiao:

"You can see me?"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao immediately looked at him with the gaze one gives to a developmentally challenged child,

and asked in return:

"Isn't what my gaze expresses obvious enough?"

After receiving Li Xiao's affirmative answer,

Absalom finally retracted his Devil Fruit ability,

and exited his transparent, invisible state!

On the empty patch of ground Li Xiao had been staring at,

a figure suddenly appeared,

and it was none other than Absalom!

Absalom was a long-haired man dressed in finery with a hideous face,

clearly possessing a human body,

yet sporting the face of a lion,

appearing at first glance to be a Mink!

But in reality,

that lion's mouth and jaw of his were merely modifications done by Hogback,

and at his core he was still a human!

Yet this modified body allowed him to possess a portion of an animal's strength,

thereby greatly enhancing his physical fitness and combat ability!

At this moment,

Absalom, with a dark expression, asked Li Xiao:

"Why can you see me?"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao asked in return:

"Who told you I was using my eyes to look?"

In fact,

Absalom, as a user of the Transparent Fruit,

once he activated his ability,

his body became transparent, producing an invisible state,

and others truly had almost no way to see him,

even the current Li Xiao couldn't see him!

But does that matter?

Not at all!

The way Li Xiao locked onto him,

He didn't need to use his eyes at all!

The power of spiritual sense far exceeded ordinary imagination!

Moreover,

Even if Li Xiao had no spiritual sense,

He could still perceive his existence through his own perception,

It would just be a bit fuzzier!

Absalom wasn't stupid either,

Hearing these words from Li Xiao,

Although he didn't know exactly what method Li Xiao had used,

He still reacted,

And immediately said to Li Xiao:

"You can see me after I turn invisible — looks like you've got some skill!"

"But since you've boarded this ship, just obediently offer your shadow to Lord Moria!"

After saying this,

Absalom charged at Li Xiao with wild laughter!

The body, partially modified through animalization, allowed him to unleash tremendous power,

··· 0 begging for flowers·· ········

With his legs exerting force,

He crossed a distance of dozens of meters at extreme speed,

Swiftly rushing right up to Li Xiao!

However,

Facing the oncoming Absalom,

Li Xiao merely glanced at him indifferently,

Without even moving,

In a single thought, he released the pressure of his peak Qi Refinement to Spirit Transformation!

Absalom, who was sprinting at high speed,

Suddenly felt as if a massive mountain had pressed down on his body!

The next second,

His entire body slammed down onto its knees on the ground,

Unable to move at all!
