Chapter 418 437. Resistance
Xu Zhi sensed a clear murderous intent from the aura of the [Cup]. As long as she left Midnight, the [Cup] would devour her immediately to obtain the fragments.
Fortunately, it is not an easy task to snatch someone from Midnight.
The silent shadows of the trees began to sway. Just when Xu Zhi's chains were almost corroded and broken by the scarlet, the shadows that had once captured Xu Zhi suddenly rose from the midnight, turning into sharp branches that stabbed at the scarlet, cutting off the claws that were entangled with Xu Zhi, giving Xu Zhi a moment of respite.
Although there was only the sound of whistling wind all around, Xu Zhi seemed to hear an indescribable shriek coming from the entangled energy. When the earth at midnight slowly trembled due to the actions of the invaders, Xu Zhi felt a resonant anger.
At that moment, the midnight rules that she had not been very proficient in suddenly became fluent, and those obscure rule symbols that she had not yet comprehended also became familiar and friendly under this resonance. If it were not for the wrong timing, Xu Zhi would have wanted to start comprehending the rules on the spot.
This sudden increase in intimacy and familiarity was all due to the snatching of the [Cup], because the [Cup] wanted to take her away, and Midnight's rules did not allow things belonging to Midnight to leave. In order to prevent Xu Zhi from being taken away, Midnight would infuse more energy and attention to Xu Zhi, which allowed Xu Zhi to obtain a large amount of "rule power" that originally belonged to Midnight at this moment.
The corroded chains began to glow again, and the eternal lamp that was originally swaying awkwardly in the wind became stable again. Just when Midnight and Xu Zhi seemed to have the upper hand, something strange happened suddenly at this moment.
Suddenly, two energies that did not belong to Midnight and the [Cup] erupted in Midnight. At the moment when Midnight and the [Cup] were confronting each other, they swept towards Xu Zhi. The moment this energy was generated, she immediately recognized that it was [Casting] and [Blade]!
Xu Zhi's face turned pale at this moment, not because she was afraid, but because several energies were tearing her apart, making Xu Zhi feel as if she was being torn apart by a chariot. If it weren't for her inhuman physical strength, she would have been torn into several pieces by now!
Thanks to her body forged by the power of rules, Xu Zhi managed to maintain her human form with difficulty. But this wasn't a solution. She couldn't just be the "rope" in a tug-of-war, could she?!
As if seeing someone "helping" him, Scarlet's behavior became more intense. This time, Xu Zhi really empathized with Midnight because of anger.
Damn, is she some kind of lamb to be slaughtered?
The girl's limbs were stretched due to the pulling, but her anger made her no longer care about many things. She clenched her fists, and after realizing that her extraordinary abilities could not directly cut off the energy that was tearing her apart, she began to fight with her body.
Xu Zhi was very confident in her physical strength. She believed that even if the gods of today were at her age, they would definitely be far weaker than her in terms of physical strength alone.
[Authority] no longer supported the chains, but acted on the power of rules that was integrated into her bones and blood, turning into her strength and muscles. She began to try to bend her arms that were stretched out, resisting the forces that were trying to tear her apart.
This was not an easy task, because her feet did not even touch the ground, and her whole body was tied in the air like a lamb to be slaughtered. She should have been unable to resist the power of these people who were far superior to her, but surprisingly, when Xu Zhi's body trembled due to excessive force, her arms actually slowly bent inward with her movement.
The power that should not have been shaken by her was actually dragged over by her pure physical strength. At this moment, the place where Xu Zhi was was the place with the strongest midnight atmosphere and the densest shadows of midnight. The energy field here almost stirred up a storm, and Xu Zhi was the eye of the storm.
She wants to bring all these things in.
Xu Zhi's inhumanly strong willpower and endurance made him have no intention of stopping even when he heard the sound of his bones breaking. As if inspired by her, the earth at midnight began to tremble slightly, and the rules in the sky that had been quietly counterattacking suddenly began to surge. The sound of friction and collision between energy continued to be heard, as if thunder had appeared in the middle of the night.
When Xu Zhi's flesh and blood power was exerted to the limit, the fragmented rule power that had long been integrated with her body seemed to be activated by Xu Zhi's hot flesh and blood at this moment, and produced an instant resonance with the rules of the midnight sky. The "knots" that Xu Zhi saw at this moment extended into several transparent and glowing dead lines that connected Midnight and Xu Zhi together.
Or rather, connect midnight with the fragment.
In an instant, it was as if something irresistible was activated, and a huge sense of oppression came over them instantly. Except for Xu Zhi, all the existences in this space, whether alive or dead, were like cats with their necks held up. No matter how fiercely they had shown their fangs and claws before, they became quiet at this moment.
There were already red marks on Xu Zhi's stretched limbs caused by the strain. With her physical strength, a mere strain should have healed immediately. The fact that such obvious marks were left on her body was only because she gave up on self-protection and chose to use extreme strength to resist and eliminate the enemy. Her own actions were also adding scars to her body. The moment the wound healed, she would be injured again, and even her own healing could not keep up with the new wounds being created.
After forcibly suppressing these rebellious outsiders at midnight, in Xu Zhi's eyes, the originally twinkling starry sky seemed to be twinkling for something.
The sky was no longer dark, and a full moon rose quietly in the galaxy forged by rules. When the moon's holy light shone down, all the evil spirits and monsters were annihilated in an instant.
Midnight returned to tranquility again, but this tranquility was subtly different from before.
Xu Zhi couldn't put it into words. If she were to describe it, she could only feel that the midnight now seemed brighter than before.
She didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but in short, she seemed to have inadvertently ruined some of the plans of others.
Xu Zhi didn't know what the essence of midnight was, but the special nature of midnight was obvious. Today's sudden attack made her understand that the gods had already made their own plans in midnight, and it should not be easy for these things to lurk quietly in midnight.
Perhaps the backup plan they arranged was not originally intended to capture Xu Zhi, but Xu Zhi was too important now. She took the fragment, and no one wanted to let her go as long as there was a chance. Those gods could only activate the things they had prepared in advance.
Xu Zhi leaned on his grave somewhat exhausted, thinking: Serves me right!
