Chapter 396: Cutting the Void
Chen Chuan's footsteps were very clear in the empty underground passage, and every step echoed back. His pace was steady and rhythmic.
But at this moment, as he approached Meng Huang, the second me also showed strong signs of becoming empty, and the signs gradually intensified as he got closer.
Aunt Yu also followed behind. She was wearing sharp artificial nails on her hands. However, after a few steps, she seemed to feel something. She raised her wrist and saw that the edge of the bracelet on it was gradually turning black. She touched the earring and felt it was slightly hot.
She made a judgment in her heart and thought to herself: "Five minutes at most..."
She looked at the jade bracelet on Chen Chuan's hand and the accessories hanging around his waist. This thing should be issued by the processing bureau. It is slightly better than the one she is wearing, but it is also limited and will not last more than seven minutes.
She solemnly warned, "Executive Chen, be careful of 'contamination'."
Chen Chuan glanced at the bracelet and nodded slightly.
The information provided by the Bureau mentioned that the longer one came into contact with this kind of existence, the more likely they were to be affected. Besides mental invasion, the alienated organization could also undergo uncontrollable changes, which Aunt Yu referred to as "contamination."
The jade ring and pendant were to keep the alienated tissues from causing problems for a period of time. If these things lost their effectiveness, one would have to rely on one's own blood and essence to maintain and suppress them. As for the mental pressure, one could only resist it by consuming the resident god.
Therefore, only fighters of the third level can deal with such things. Ordinary fighters probably can't even get close to them.
At this time, he clicked on the Netherworld Pass and tried to contact the outside world. Here, even the specially set enhanced signal seemed to become very difficult. The information was only transmitted slowly, and it seemed that it would take at least several minutes to complete the message transmission.
However, he couldn't wait any longer. He didn't know what Meng Huang's purpose was in coming here, but it was very likely related to his own existence and strength, so he absolutely couldn't let him succeed.
He stared at the huge body squirming on the door. After a few steps, he slightly increased his center of gravity and leaped forward. He raised the long sword that was placed aside, and after quickly approaching, he suddenly slashed it down!
It was impossible to miss such a huge body, but after the knife was slashed across, it felt like the cut part dissipated like a wisp of smoke, and the knife felt empty, as if it had not caused any damage to it.
He landed on the ground with a light tap of his toes. At this moment, a shadow passed by above Meng Huang, and a limb that had been clinging to the top wall came down towards him.
He dodged by leaping to the side, but the limb chased him again. He intended to cut it with his knife, but encountered the same scene as before. It seemed that he only cut a piece of light smoke that was not real.
But even so, he didn't want to be hit, so he continued to retreat, and when he was beyond a certain distance, he retracted his limb.
Chen Chuan looked up and realized that the real reason why he couldn't touch Meng Huang was probably because he was bound by a secret ritual before and couldn't exert his strength. But now he was freed, so he could make such a change, just like he could penetrate directly through the ground.
Judging from the information given to him by the Processing Bureau, these existences on the opposite side are different. Most of these things that fall into this world can be attacked and contacted as long as there are enough fighters from the alienated organization.
Only some special ones require spiritual connection to reach. Although their strength may not necessarily be higher than the former, they are the most troublesome and difficult to deal with.
It seems that the current one is most likely this kind of thing.
If so, then...
He closed his eyes, and his eyebrows twitched slightly. At this moment, a red mark appeared between his eyebrows.
After eliminating his ordinary senses and sensing purely with his spirit, he felt as if an indescribable behemoth appeared in front of him. Its body almost covered the entire place along with the shadows on the ground and walls. It was not in the distance, but was wandering and sliding around him.
The scattered parts were countless tentacles floating in the space, densely surrounding his body, and some of them passed by his cheeks.
Every time these things came close to or touched the body, the color of the jade ring would dim a little.
He closed his eyes, slowly raised the knife with both hands, then suddenly exerted force, spun around on the spot and slashed hard. This time, it seemed as if it was cutting through many tough objects.
With him as the center, within a radius of nearly three meters, all the tentacles in this circle fell to the ground like mowed grass, and then turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated.
At the same time, he seemed to realize something and looked at the Xuejun Sword in his hand.
At the moment of the strike just now, it seemed as if something was brought down from that existence and absorbed by the blade.
He could feel that the thing that was originally immersed in Xue Jun's sword seemed to be particularly excited at this moment, and conveyed an urgent desire to him.
He didn't care what it was at first. At the moment, he just wanted to help kill it. He swung the knife and cut off another large group of tentacles that were surrounding him. He took firm steps and gradually approached Meng Huang's position as if he was cutting through thorns.
Aunt Yu also rushed up to help at this moment. At first, she also found that she could not attack Meng Huang's entity. Although she did not have the special spiritual senses like Chen Chuan, she could do the same thing by consuming her divine power to sublimate her spirit.
However, this method is difficult to sustain for a long time, so she is very cautious. She avoids those vague things that surround her whenever possible. If she can't avoid them, she will just slap them away or cut them off with artificial nails. From the perspective of attack efficiency alone, it is not high, but it does reduce some of the burden on Chen Chuan from the side.
The two men, one in front and one behind, quickly approached where Meng Huang's real body was. At this moment, the latter seemed to sense the threat, and a thick limb that had retreated in front of him quickly slapped over.
At this moment, Aunt Yu jumped forward, her hands like a ring, pushed outwards, and with a bang, she held it firmly, creating space for Chen Chuan to move forward.
Chen Chuan did not miss this opportunity. He rushed out in a flash. At this moment, another limb attacked from above, but it only hit behind him.
A flash of sword light instantly crossed a space of more than ten meters and slashed fiercely at Meng Huang's huge body with his back to the two of them!
The knife cut a deep crack on his body, and countless black mists and tiny things floated out of it.
Meng Huang, or rather that thing, twitched violently at this moment.
It seemed that at first it was only focused on breaking down the door that was blocking it, or it thought it could withstand greater damage, so it just drove the two of them away casually.
However, Chen Chuan's blow seemed to have caused serious damage to it, and it finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Suddenly, bulges appeared one after another on the surface of its body. After they burst, more limbs jumped out from inside, waving them around, and then they came towards the two people with a blow.
After Aunt Yu discovered this, she immediately used nimble steps to retreat. While retreating, she quickly swatted away the two limbs that were attacking from both sides.
Just the touch made her arm numb, and she felt that the force was much greater than before. There was also a large black circle on the bracelet, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
She took the time to look at Chen Chuan, but she saw nothing because her vision was blocked by the swaying limbs.
Chen Chuan stared upwards as the limbs fell towards him. When one of them was about to touch him, he quickly turned sideways to avoid it. Then he leaped back to the side to avoid a limb that was coming across. After landing, he pointed his toes, leaned forward and quickly passed through the gaps between the limbs.
At the same time, he swung the long sword in his hand several times, leaving deep cuts on those limbs. Wisps of black smoke came out of those cuts, and a pile of severed slender tentacles were left on the ground.
At this time, another limb silently wrapped around him, but the next moment, with a flash of a knife, he cut it off to the ground. He did not stop and quickly left the place. The next moment, the place he just left was smashed into a big hole by several limbs that pressed down on him.
He dodged and wiggled in the gaps between the intertwined limbs, occasionally cutting a path with his knife, and kept moving, but he did not just dodge, but observed calmly.
He found that although the number of these limbs had increased, they were much thicker than those he had encountered before, and their strength had also greatly increased, but the speed of their swinging had actually decreased.
Judging from the information, Meng Huang's body, which coexists with the opposite existence, may possess some incredible power due to the influx of the opposite existence, but as long as it is still in the material world, there will be some insurmountable boundaries, part of which is determined by the upper limit of the attached body.
If he was just an ordinary person without any special help, then his performance would at best be at the level that a third-level fighter can reach, which is the limit that anything can touch.
Unless the existence on the opposite side does not care about the attached body at all, but if that is the case, once the physical body collapses, it will not be able to continue to exist.
Of course, even if it is the same third limit, the difference caused by the difference in body size is also huge. Meng Huang has now reached a height of six or seven meters, and the power he can exert will be considerable.
However, he has a second self that can withstand a certain amount of damage and has a certain advantage in speed. As long as the attack method does not exceed his understanding, there is a chance to cut off and kill it.
At this moment, a slight sound came from Jie Ping, and the message he had just sent was finally sent out. In this way, if everything goes well, I believe the people from the processing bureau will arrive soon.
But since Meng Huang dared to come today, he might have made some preparations, so he didn't completely pin his hopes on this.
And the current situation...
He glanced at the bracelet on his wrist, which was mostly black, and the limbs and tentacles around him that almost filled the entire space. He tightened his grip on the knife slightly, his skin suddenly became hot, and wisps of white smoke floated from his body.
It's not like he can't solve it alone.
