Amidst the little boy's loud laughter, the hourglass on the ground completely shattered, and the white sand spilled out and spread all over the ground.
A vortex-shaped energy turbulence suddenly rolled up in the cave. The God-Decapitating Sword Qi floating in the air was easily blown away by this turbulent flow and disappeared.
Mu You was also blown back by this energy. He subconsciously reached out to cover the sand and dust. Relying on the powerful properties of the suit, he barely stopped the retreat.
At the center of the altar, the little boy's laughter had stopped suddenly and turned into a scream.
Mu You looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that the little boy was at the center of the storm. His whole body was torn to pieces by the powerful energy turbulence, and finally completely dissipated in the center of the air volume.
While the storm was still spreading outward, Mu You saw that the situation was out of control. He was about to exit the cave first when he suddenly felt something strange on his body. He reached out and took out something from the package behind him: a hollow square.
This is a prop seized from Z Realm Walker a long time ago, used to protect the shell of the fragment of the Heart of Time.
The fragment of the Heart of Time inside has been taken out by Mu You and used in the pocket watch. The pocket watch was upgraded because of this.
The remaining square shell, whose surface was already fragmented, was even more unable to withstand the damage in the storm, and completely shattered as soon as it appeared.
As the cubes shattered, Mu You's body was bound in place by a wave of energy, unable to move. He could only watch the energy storm sweeping over him, drowning his sight...
The storm lasted for about half a minute before stopping.
Everything in the cave became still again, and you could hear a needle drop.
Suddenly there was a tinkling sound, and a transparent helmet hit the mountain wall, broke out, and then fell to the ground. It rolled around a few times and finally stopped.
A few seconds later, the helmet that regained consciousness trembled a few times, floated off the ground, and hurriedly turned his head to look.
The entire cave was already empty, and the figures and breaths of Mu You and the little boy disappeared without a trace...
…
At the same time, outside Chuangjie Mountain.
A rumble came from the mountain.
Hongxiu and Lin Xue, who were facing each other, were both stunned, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the mountains in the distance.
From the outside of the mountain, no changes can be seen, but with such a big movement, something must have happened inside.
Lin Xue was a little worried about Mu You’s safety.
Hongxiu noticed Lin Xue turning his head, his eyes moved, and while Lin Xue was distracted, he suddenly burst into flames, bypassed Lin Xue, and rushed towards Chuangjie Mountain.
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment and quickly came to her senses. When she saw Hongxiu running away in an instant, she hurriedly caught up with him.
The two of them chased each other and fled. Hong Xiu occasionally threw the chain in his hand backwards, impeding Lin Xue's speed.
Chasing like this, the two of them quickly rushed to the front of Chuangjie Mountain. Hongxiu went straight to the open stone door at the front, and Lin Xue hurriedly followed.
As a result, the two of them were like passing through a mold, 'penetrating' through the mountain of Chuangjie Mountain, without being able to touch any entity.
Neither of them are administrators, so naturally they cannot enter Chuangjie Mountain.
Just when the two of them were at a loss, the Chuangjie Mountain above their heads suddenly fluctuated like water waves, and then gradually became blurred and transparent until it completely disappeared.
After a few seconds, the place returned to its original desert scene, completely empty and without any mountains.
Obviously, the time for Chuangjie Mountain to appear today has arrived.
When Chuangjie Mountain falls into Shenyin, theoretically the creatures inside it and all matter entering from the outside will be forcibly kicked out.
However, at this moment, there was no trace of Mu You and the little boy around.
"Where is the man? Where did you take him?" Hongxiu asked Lin Xue with a cold face.
Lin Xue frowned when he heard this: "This should be the question I want to ask you!"
The two of them were hostile to each other, clenching their weapons, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and a white object shot out from mid-air, heading towards Hongxiu's position.
"Huh?" Hongxiu looked at the flying thing intently. If it were a sneak attack, the movement would be too loud, even a blind man could see it.
Seeing the object coming towards her, she subconsciously waved the chain.
"Ding!"
Amidst the sound of gold and iron, the flying objects were flung away by Hong Xiu, and rolled down on the sandy ground not far away.
The two of them saw clearly now that what flew out was a helmet.
The helmet landed on the ground and soon floated up again. Like a drunken man, he shook his head to identify the direction, then drifted towards Lin Xue, and finally landed in her hand.
“Where is he?” Lin Xue asked hurriedly.
Ava was attached to Mu You and entered Chuangjie Mountain with him. At this moment, Chuangjie Mountain disappeared, but only Ava was kicked out, but Mu You was nowhere to be seen.
Hong Xiu on the side also hurriedly pricked up his ears.
"The two of them were involved in a time and space storm, and they were both swept away by the storm and disappeared..." Ava's voice sounded in Lin Xue's mind.
Lin Xue was a little confused. She had never heard of space-time storms or anything like that: "What on earth happened?"
Ava described to her what she saw and heard in Chuangjie Mountain.
“…Based on the circumstances at the time, it is very likely that the person activated a time transfer prop… In other words, the two of them may have left our current time and space and gone to other time points in Chuangjie Mountain.”
“Other time points…”
Lin Xue was even more confused when she heard this: "What specific time is it?"
“It’s not clear yet. The data is unknown and cannot be analyzed. It may be in the past or in the future. It depends on the time when the prop was born. Relatively speaking, it is more likely to be in the past.”
“They...went back to the past?” Lin Xue was surprised.
"snort!"
At this moment, Hong Xiu on the opposite side suddenly snorted coldly, suddenly threw out the chain, and launched an attack on Lin Xue.
Lin Xue was not slow to react and subconsciously raised her sickle to resist. While speaking, she did not relax her vigilance against Hongxiu.
The two exchanged moves, but no one took advantage.
Lin Xue frowned and looked at Hongxiu: "What do you know?"
Even though Ava’s explanation just now was to Lin Xue alone, Hongxiu has the ability to read minds. Lin Xue knew that Hongxiu must have heard what she just said. Now this reaction clearly shows that she knows something.
“Haha, why should I tell you?” Hong Xiu sneered.
“Then it seems I can only take you down!” Lin Xue’s face turned cold as he summoned the Divine Skin and assumed a fighting stance.
Lin Xue didn't say much. She could shrink the energy of the divine skin to the height of an ordinary human body and only cover her body surface. Facing opponents of the same size, the divine skin would be too big and would affect her agility. They are both descendants of the God of Death, and they all compete for speed.
Lin Xue stepped on her feet, transformed into a phantom, and charged forward with a knife.
Hong Xiu, however, seemed to have expected it. He also summoned a layer of divine skin, and also exploded with a speed that was not weaker than Lin Xue. He easily let go of her attack and walked leisurely during the movement.
Lin Xue did not stop and pursued continuously. She knew that the opponent had the ability to read minds, and what she wanted was to give the opponent no time to react.
Unfortunately, Hongxiu's mind-reading seemed to take no time at all, and all Lin Xue's thoughts took shape in her mind as if they were one and the same soul.
The shadow of the death scythe in Lin Xue's hand was flowing, constantly cutting through the air, and slashing towards Hongxiu. The scene seemed to be suppressing Hongxiu and forcing him back step by step, but in fact, no one could really hit it.
In other words, the other party can predict all her actions in advance...
Lin Xue's eyes flashed with helplessness. It would be better if there was a delayed mind reading, but this kind of real-time synchronous mind reading is really difficult.
Want to defeat this ability, unless she can have a level of strength and speed that is far superior to the opponent.
However, after a few encounters, Lin Xue understood that the two of them had the same star rating, as well as similar attributes and strength.
Obviously the other party has not relaxed during this period, and has grown well under the training of the old man. Lin Xue might be able to get a little better by relying on the resources accumulated from the previous battle in the City of Order, but he has not yet opened up the gap in level.
In this case, the existence of mind reading is almost unexplainable.
While Lin Xue was thinking, the red sleeve in front suddenly sneered, and he retreated violently, keeping distance from Lin Xue, and hit a rock behind him with his back straight.
The imaginary scene of Hong Xiu hitting the rock and being bounced did not appear. Hong Xiu disappeared directly into the rock like a ball of air.
?)
Lin Xue was stunned, looking at Hongxiu who suddenly submerged into the stone. He quickly turned around and looked around, but could not find any trace of Hongxiu. It was as if his whole person had evaporated out of thin air.
"careful!"
Ava’s warning sound suddenly sounded.
Lin Xue had also felt the movement under her feet and subconsciously wanted to jump up, but it was still a step too late.
Hands stretched out from the sand beneath her feet and grabbed her ankles.
Suddenly, a force came, and Lin Xue was pulled into the sand. He was buried in the sand from the shoulders down and could not move for a while.
In front of Lin Xue, Hongxiu slowly emerged from the sand until he stood on the sand, looking at her with a playful look.
"I didn't take action against you before because I knew that man had the means to counter me and he was difficult to deal with. You don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you?"
Facing Hong Xiu’s sarcasm, Lin Xue did not respond, still silently analyzing the situation in her heart.
So far, in addition to the ability of the God of Death, Hongxiu has shown a total of two additional abilities, one is mind reading, and the other is the ability to penetrate and pass through stones.
At first, Lin Xue thought that the other party's other ability was the ability to pass through walls, which could pass through obstacles, but now it seemed that it was more than that, he could also pass through obstacles with the human body he touched, which was more like material assimilation. A kind of ability…
“Forget it, it’s over.”
Hongxiu saw that Lin Xue did not beg for mercy or open her mouth, and her mood waned. She walked up to Lin Xue and reached out to touch her head.
“Don’t blame me, I’ve had enough of the **** skin with only one arm. The **** of death has been separated for so long, and now it’s time to merge into one...”
Before Hong Xiu could finish speaking, he suddenly realized the danger and hurriedly retreated.
Following Hongxiu's movements, silver needles with sutures came out of the ground and pierced her from all angles.
Fortunately, these threads have a distance limit. After Hongxiu retreated a certain distance, the needles and threads quickly stopped and returned to Lin Xue, piercing the sand for a while.
As the surrounding land loosened, Lin Xue jumped out of the ground unharmed a moment later.
As soon as he appeared, Lin Xue didn't stop and rushed towards Hong Xiu with the knife again.
“Do you still have to bear the burden and resist...”
Hong Xiu’s face looked a little strange: “It’s useless. I know your thoughts and abilities clearly. No matter how many times you come here, the result will be the same…”
Hongxiu’s voice stopped suddenly.
Lin Xue appeared next to Hongxiu like a ghost, swung the sickle in her hand, and in Hongxiu's surprised eyes, the knife struck her whole body.
Hongxiu's left arm was cut open with a wound, and blood spurted out, along with a ball of blue soul floating out.
I was thrown away by the force and fell to the ground not far away. I turned around quickly and looked at Lin Xue with a dull look: "How could..."
With her mind-reading ability, she can know all the enemy's attack ideas at any time, and sometimes she can even understand the opponent's moves earlier than the enemy. Only in this way can she be invincible in one-on-one situations.
However, she failed to understand Lin Xue's thoughts just now.
"Using the opponent's initial position as the coordinate, perform vector transformation on the data of the new position's horizontal and vertical coordinates, and perform surface integral derivation. The result is restored to the nearest random number that conforms to the current attack range, and then corresponds to the 206 bones of the human body and 639 muscles for instant attack..."
“What the hell?”
Hongxiu’s face was blank. What vector transformation? Surface derivation? Want to revert to numbers? She clearly knew every word in this passage, but together they were completely incomprehensible.
While Hongxiu was sluggish, Lin Xue had already struck again with a knife in the distance.
At the same time, a thought appeared in Hongxiu's mind.
“Based on the opponent’s new coordinates, the random number obtained is 105-79, and the corresponding parts are hit respectively…”
Hong Xiu jumped up in a hurry, her brain running at a rapid speed.
In the short interval, she also understood the other party's intention, which was to complicate the thinking process and disrupt her mind reading. And what she has to do is very simple, which is to accurately grasp the key information, follow the other party's thinking, and find the final result in advance.
Ignore the strange things in front of you. In short, 105 and 79, these two numbers are obviously the opponent's next attack targets. They seem to correspond to the numbers of bones and muscles respectively. This key information must be in the opponent's mind.
Hongxiu hurriedly mobilized her energy with all her strength, and sure enough, she quickly found the corresponding knowledge in Lin Xue's mind.
That is a human anatomy diagram, and every muscle and bone on it is clearly labeled with numbers.
Hongxiu only needs to find the position corresponding to the number next.
However, Hong Xiu soon felt like crying.
She can still clearly see the thoughts in the other person's mind. As long as she is given time, all the information can be clearly seen.
But, it’s too late!
While she was still looking for numbers in a hurry, Lin Xue's attack had already arrived.
The cold light flashed, and Hong Xiu subconsciously avoided it, but she felt a pain in the calf of her right leg, her soul was overflowing, and her whole body was once again thrown away by the force.
“The 105th bone in the human body is the right tibia. Is there anyone who doesn’t know this medical common sense?”
Hearing the cold voice in the distance, Hongxiu suddenly felt nakedly insulted, and had the urge to curse: Damn, you are a great scholar, is it appropriate to show off your knowledge in this way? (End of chapter)
