Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 244 Abnormal?

Zheng Zha once asked Mu Xiang how to deal with attacks like the Dot-Line Demon Eye and the Square Demon Eye... He didn't have Mu Xiang's physical abilities. Let alone the Square Demon Eye, even if a Gauss sniper bullet carrying the power of the Dot-Line Demon Eye pierced through him, he would be finished.

Although Mu Xiang doubted he could withstand such a causal attack with his physical body alone... the best way to counteract it was with sufficient energy. And not all energy would work; the energy level had to be high. A sufficient amount of the rule-based light of the mind could easily negate this causal attack; and Zheng Zha's crimson flames might not be unable to withstand it either.

On one hand, Zheng Zha's crimson flames can instantly incinerate incoming bullets; on the other hand, his crimson flames are more than enough to neutralize the power of the Dot-Line Demon Eye and the Square Demon Eye.

After all, both the Dotted Line Mystic Eye and the Square Mystic Eye are applications of rules, not the rules themselves. Bullets and their accompanying energy are ultimately just carriers; once completely eliminated by the red flames, even the most terrifying causal attacks become ineffective.

It was only because Zheng Zha had gone deep and far on the path of red flames that his physical body and energy were sufficient to withstand such an attack.

Zheng Zha's right hand skin seemed to shatter instantly under the impact of the bullet, but upon closer inspection, it was not blasted open... but rather red flames burning from the inside out.

The strike, driven by Fang Zheng's demonic eye, slammed into a ball of crimson flames. The flames couldn't immediately eliminate all the power; even though the bullet was instantly annihilated, the power to erase cause and effect remained in effect. A bubble seemed to appear within the dark red flames, and it continued to expand.

Just then, the ball of flame broke off completely, shooting off at an angle more than ten meters away with violent energy, and crashed heavily to the ground, creating a deafening sound... The two conflicting energies blasted a large hole in that spot.

Zheng Zha hadn't expected the power of that spear to be so terrifying. Without entering the Crimson Lotus Transformation, the red flames he hastily unleashed were simply not enough to completely erase the influence of Fang Zheng's Demon Eye!
But Zheng Zha did not panic, even though there was still a possibility that he could forcefully fire another shot at midnight, and even though Zhao Yingkong's Demon-Slaying Sword was still trying to penetrate the protective red flames.

Mu Xiang, who had fallen into the courtyard below, had already stopped. Even if he couldn't fly, falling like that wouldn't hurt him. Hearing the noise above him, Mu Xiang couldn't help but smile. He knew what kind of attack Zheng Zha was facing, but it was precisely because of him that Zheng Zha had simulated thinking and judged the situation on his own.

What Zheng Zha could think of, Mu Xiang could certainly think of as well… The Zhongzhou team members controlled by Zhang Jie didn't need to consider strategic issues of whether they could win. Facing Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha, who were regarded as bosses, they would only launch attacks, using the tactics best suited to them to coordinate their attacks against the two.

So there's no need to worry about them not coming to your door, or about not having enough people... and that's exactly what Mu Xiang needs most.

Zheng Zha's fight with the others lasted only a few breaths; Ba Wang hadn't even pulled himself off the floorboards yet. Mu Xiang knew the situation on the top floor was already precarious, so instead of making another hole, he shot upwards at an angle, helping Ba Wang by striking him in the waist with a palm strike, sending him flying into the air.

The giant werewolf spat out a mouthful of purple blood in the air. Upon closer inspection, it was not the blood itself that was purple, but rather the blood contained a purple-gray annihilation magic energy!

After being slapped away, the giant werewolf slowly shrank back, transforming into the human form of Overlord before even landing. Just as Overlord growled and was about to forcefully transform again, Mu Xiang shot out from the gap in the floor.

At this moment, Mu Xiang looked down at the entire battlefield. He could sense that at least Qi Tengyi and Long Taobing were still on the top floor. Lingdian was on another tall building, while Zhan Lan's whereabouts were unknown.

But since they're working together like this, that's enough.

Zhao Yingkong's sword was still thrusting forward, while Zheng Zha had barely exhausted Qi Tengyi's strength. He had already formed a new right hand, but he didn't even take this opportunity to launch any attack on Zhao Yingkong to his right rear.

"Everyone present is under Zhan Lan's surveillance... and Qi Tengyi must be connected to Zhan Lan." This judgment flashed through Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha's minds simultaneously. This was the perfect opportunity!

With a flick of his left wrist, a dark red book written in blood and flesh appeared in Mu Xiang's hand. At the same time, a ring also quietly appeared.

This is an item seized from the Beiyan Continent team... Although it is a D-grade ring, it has no special function: it has neither the storage function that most D-grade items can buy, nor the solidification magic of D-grade.

Its only purpose is to store a person's spiritual energy and then release it externally.

This ring, once worn by Feng Yang, survived even after he was burned to ashes. It contained Farid's spiritual energy. Although it appeared to be a symbol of love between Feng Yang and his girlfriend, who controlled spiritual energy, its actual purpose was to use the stored spiritual energy to open Farid's storage equipment after her death.

After examining the ring, Mu Xiang discovered that activating its spiritual energy each time would consume a considerable amount of power… After all, it was only a D-grade ring, and even after using up all the storage items, it was almost completely depleted. As for giving it to Qi Tengyi to reduce his burden by utilizing its spiritual energy, that was out of the question. This amount of storage was negligible compared to the burden of the dictionary.

However, after the experiment, the ring still contained Zhan Lan's spiritual energy. It was originally just something she casually kept, but now it proved useful!
A surge of Zhan Lan's spiritual energy flowed from the ring, albeit only a small amount, but it still stained the dark red pages of the book. The Necronomicon, which had been unremarkable since returning to the Main God Space, now possessed a slightly corrosive power.

Another fireball appeared in Zheng Zha's right hand, but this time he didn't prepare it and directly smashed it in the direction his intuition pointed out!

The True Word: Shield arrived as promised, revealing the location of the hidden person. But whether the person struck by the red flame was Qi Tengyi or Long Taobing was unimportant, and even the fireball itself was of minimal power... Its true purpose was to distract Long Taobing, preventing him from immediately activating his spiritual healing.

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha didn't communicate, but after Zheng Zha simulated Mu Xiang's thought process, the two were able to synchronize on this battlefield... Zheng Zha used Red Flame to mentally exhaust Qi Tengyi, while the fireball restrained Long Taobing. Although it was only for a moment, this window of opportunity was enough!

The Necronomicon, imbued with Zhan Lan's spiritual power, emitted a dark red light. This eerie and malevolent contamination, amplified by the outward projection of spiritual power, affected everyone on the rooftop; simultaneously, Zhan Lan and Zero, though not physically present but connected, were also infected.

This is not the world of "The Necronomicon". After being processed by the main god, the corrosive effect of these plot props has been greatly suppressed... These contaminations only have a slight impact on them, far less terrifying than in "The Terrifying Black Hole".

However, after invading Qi Tengyi's mind, it became an uninvited guest disrupting the balance. Cleansing away this erosion would only require a small expenditure of energy. Qi Tengyi didn't care about this expenditure; what he needed was a confrontation free from other interference!

As Qi Tengyi silently recited the mantra, the "Chou" that represented the elimination of the abnormality took effect and was transmitted to the others through the mental link.

The influence of the Necronomicon was instantly erased, but even when Qi Teng thought it was over, his mental energy was still being depleted!
The "healing" effect was still in effect. It seemed that in addition to the corruption of the Necronomicon, there were other anomalies affecting Qi Tengyi and the members of the Central Continent Team... The surging spiritual power seemed to have encountered a bottomless pit and rushed in that direction.

“Zhang Jie, you will be able to dispel it, won’t you?” Mu Xiang smiled slightly. “Otherwise, even if Qi Tengyi and Zhan Lan’s mental energy is exhausted, they still won’t be able to dispel your suggestion… then they will be doomed.”
