Chapter 362 Tianxuanxing's Face
The black square in front lit up again, and Du Tianming appeared on the screen.
He was surprised by Tianxuanxing's sudden appearance here, and he had no idea who this masked woman was.
But it doesn’t matter. Once this world that belongs only to him is activated, the outcome is already determined.
"These black blocks are a program I designed specifically for use against Bai Jun's three legends."
Du Tianming looked down at Shen Cheng and Tian Xuanxing: "You are the only two people who have experienced it. I hope you can collect some data for me to improve it."
After saying that, the screen dimmed again.
The countless black blocks around began to move again, and at the same time, a strong bell sounded in the depths of the world.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The sound of the bell swept across the world like a shock wave. Shen Cheng and Tian Xuanxing, who were affected by the bell sound, felt their bodies shaken at the same time.
This vibration goes from the inside out, even deep into the bone marrow and cells.
Shen Cheng felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be shattered, and even his soul was strongly impacted.
Tianxuanxing frowned: "This is attacking our souls."
As a scholar specializing in biological research, he immediately identified the real dangerous places.
Shen Cheng hugged Tianxuanxing tightly and at the same time opened his energy shield to protect the two of them.
The energy shield can block almost any form of attack, and it did block the damage to the body from the final sound, but the souls of the two were still strongly impacted.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
As the bell sounds became louder and louder, Shen Cheng even discovered that there were faint shadows trembling on his and Tianxuanxing's bodies.
Those were the souls of the two people, shaking with the sound of the bell, as if they were about to leave their bodies.
Shen Cheng suppressed the trembling of his soul and looked up in the direction where the bell sound came from.
He wanted to destroy the ringing bell, but was stopped by Tianxuanxing.
"The sound of the bell is caused by the whole world. There is no real bell."
"What should I do?"
This was also the first time Shen Cheng encountered such a situation.
"This is a program. Since it is a program, it has its own rules and routes."
Tianxuanxing's voice remained calm, staring closely at the rapidly moving black blocks around him.
Suddenly she raised her hand and pointed at one of the fast-moving black blocks: "Destroy it."
Before she finished her words, Shen Cheng had already raised his hand. The energy gathered in his palm and accurately hit the fast-moving black square.
This time he increased his firepower, and the energy beam exploded immediately after entering the black block.
boom!
With a loud bang, the indestructible black block that also had the ability to absorb energy was blown into pieces, and the flames illuminated the somewhat dark space.
Tianxuanxing then pointed to another black square.
Without waiting for her to speak, Shen Cheng raised his arm and turned it like a cannon. The energy gathered in his palm burst out again, shattering the second black block.
Shen Cheng didn't ask why. Now he was the human cannon of Tianxuan Star, and he could shoot wherever he pointed.
Under the command of Tianxuanxing, Shen Cheng continued to destroy one black block after another. After smashing dozens of them, the originally continuous bell sound finally changed.
“Ding! Ding! … Ding! Ding!”
The originally continuous and rhythmic bell sounds finally had a break, and the impact on Shen Cheng and Tianxuanxing's souls was also significantly slowed down.
Seeing that Tianxuanxing's command was actually effective, Shen Cheng attacked even faster.
The black square in front lit up again, and Du Tianming appeared on it for the third time.
This time his expression became visibly solemn, and for the first time, his gaze shifted away from Shen Cheng and fell on Tian Xuanxing.
"who are you?"
"Just an ordinary scholar."
Tianxuanxing's answer was full of humility and modesty, but his eyes were still scanning the surroundings, looking for black blocks that could be destroyed.
"No, there is no way you can be an ordinary person."
Du Tianming absolutely does not believe that Tianxuanxing is an ordinary scholar. This special world, this sophisticated program composed of countless black blocks, is the result of his thinking over the past few decades and is his greatest personal achievement in his life.
Now, he was seen through by a woman who appeared out of nowhere in just a few minutes. How could he accept this?
"No ordinary person can see through my program."
Du Tianming's voice suddenly rose: "Who are you?"
It was the first time that Shen Cheng saw Du Tianming so excited. It seemed that Tianxuan Star really made him a little bit broken.
"You underestimate ordinary people. You don't realize that all geniuses emerge from ordinary people."
Tian Xuanxing spoke calmly, as if he was just narrating a trivial matter: "The program you designed is indeed sophisticated enough, but no matter how sophisticated a program is, its operation will always have a set of rules and basic logic. As long as you find these, you can see through the weaknesses."
Shen Cheng felt that Tianxuanxing’s words were simply the highest level of low-key pretense.
It is true that we should not look down on ordinary people, but are you always an ordinary person?
The leader of a stargazing club, a genius among geniuses, is here pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
Du Tianming was obviously broken by Tian Xuanxing's overly pretentious words, and his face turned ugly.
In addition to being able to destroy souls, the biggest feature of the program he designed is that it is not afraid of large-scale destruction.
Once the damage to the black blocks exceeds 10% of the total, they will continue to replicate themselves to fill the gaps.
This is why Du Tianming is confident that he can use this program to deal with Bai Jun’s three legends. They cannot destroy all the black cubes in one go, so they can only face endless black cubes forever until their souls are wiped out.
But Tianxuanxing is different. He sees through the operating rules and basic logic of this program. Now he only needs to destroy the key nodes to paralyze the operation of a large number of black blocks around it.
Even if there are more key nodes destroyed, it will never reach 10% of the total number, and the replication function will not be triggered.
As long as Tianxuanxing is given some time, he can command Shen Cheng to destroy all the key nodes and paralyze the entire program without triggering replication, making it impossible to start again.
This is what made Du Tianming feel defeated. His decades of hard work were found to be a weakness by a woman in just a few minutes.
Looking at the mask on Tianxuanxing's face, Du Tianming racked his brains but could not remember such a powerful person.
He didn't say anything else, but just had an ugly face and slowly disappeared from the screen.
The black cube suspended in the air suddenly accelerated, and the bell sound coming from the depths of the world became more rapid.
Tianxuanxing frowned: "He modified the operation and logic of the program. I need some time to crack it again."
Shen Cheng certainly had no objection. The only person he could count on now was Tianxuanxing, so he naturally had to obey her command. And Du Tianming's abrupt modification of the program was probably intended to compete with Tianxuanxing.
However, it is not easy to delay time.
After Du Tianming modified the way the program operated, the impact on Shen Cheng and Tianxuanxing's souls became stronger again. Both of them could clearly feel the vibration and pain from their souls.
Not only that, a large number of human figures emerged from the surrounding black blocks, and it looked like a densely packed area.
These were all Du Tianming's clones. They stared expressionlessly at Shen Cheng and Tian Xuanxing who were surrounded in the middle, like a pack of wolves hunting two prey.
These clones are not just numerous, they are also powerful individuals with extraordinary abilities.
In an instant, the entire dim space suddenly lit up with colorful lights, and at least hundreds of Du Tianming launched long-range attacks on Shen Cheng and Tianxuanxing at the same time.
Streaks of fire, ice, lightning and hurricanes came from all directions, covering the sky and the earth.
More Du Tianmings leaped down from the black blocks, like a pack of wolves launching an attack, and surrounded them in a large black mass.
While enduring the attack of the bell on his soul, Shen Cheng released a large range of mental power, forming a vast invisible field with him and Tianxuan Star as the center.
All attacks that entered the area were blocked by telekinesis.
Boom boom boom.
All the attacks exploded in the air like blooming fireworks.
Those who surrounded Du Tianming from all directions, when they jumped into the air, it was as if they hit an invisible wall, and they slid down from the air and fell into the bottomless darkness below.
Only a few of Du Tianming were able to break through the barrier of mental power, but they were greeted by ruthless energy attacks from Shen Cheng, and were blown to pieces on the spot.
Tianxuanxing was still observing the movement of the black blocks around him intently, trying to find the rules and basic logic of their operation.
Shen Cheng continued to attack those fish that escaped despite being blocked by his mental power.
The situation seems to be under control, but in fact it is very precarious.
Because the souls of the two people were constantly being attacked by the bell, they kept shaking in their bodies and could run out at any time.
If it were an ordinary person's soul, it would have been shattered long ago, but Shen Cheng and Tianxuanxing's souls are more resilient, which is why they have been able to hold on until now.
Shen Cheng did not urge Tian Xuanxing, but tried his best to eliminate the interference around her.
Several more Du Tianming broke through the barrier of mental power and flew towards the two of them.
But a beam of energy immediately gathered from Shen Cheng's palm and shot towards them.
The beam split in the air, like a split anti-aircraft missile, shooting down several Du Tianmings one by one.
One of them, Du Tianming, twisted his body slightly in the air and managed to avoid the energy beam at the critical moment.
He was like a falling meteor, and in an instant he came in front of Shen Cheng and Tianxuanxing. His palm, with a sharp edge, thrust forward, like a powerful spear, and hit Shen Cheng's energy shield heavily.
This attack was blocked by the energy shield, but Shen Cheng's energy reserves were rapidly decreasing.
The Du Tianming in front of him was different from other Du Tianmings. He possessed more powerful strength. He hid in the crowd and launched an unexpected attack.
Although it was blocked by the energy shield, it greatly consumed the energy shield's reserves.
Shen Cheng doesn't have much strength now, and he relies entirely on the eternal blood given to him by Xiao Qingque. He will need energy to destroy more black cubes later, and cannot waste it in this kind of battle.
He canceled the energy shield, and Du Tianming's attack was unobstructed and continued to sprint forward.
His target was not Shen Cheng, but Tianxuan Star which was held in Shen Cheng's arms.
As long as Tianxuanxing, the person who can crack the program, is eliminated, Shen Cheng will definitely die and will not be able to escape at all.
Shen Cheng put one hand around Tian Xuanxing's waist and pulled him back, avoiding Du Tianming's attack at the critical moment.
The moment Du Tianming's body crossed with Shen Cheng's, Shen Cheng's knee had already pushed up and hit Du Tianming's abdomen hard, knocking him into the air.
The other hand was like a fierce dragon emerging from the sea, grabbing Du Tianming's throat and twisting it hard.
With a click, Du Tianming's neck was crushed.
Shen Cheng threw the corpse into the darkness below with a flick of his hand.
He turned his head and looked at Tianxuanxing: "Are you okay..."
The last word "bar" was not uttered, Shen Cheng stared blankly at Tianxuanxing.
"I am fine."
Tianxuanxing answered, but found that there was something wrong with the look in Shen Cheng's eyes when he looked at him.
She reacted immediately and raised her hand to touch her face.
Although Du Tianming dodged the attack, the mask on his face was hit. Most of the mask was destroyed, leaving only the other half hanging.
This no longer has any blocking effect and completely exposes the appearance of Tianxuan Star.
It was the first time that Shen Cheng saw Tianxuanxing’s appearance, which should have been a happy thing, but he was not happy at all.
Because Tianxuanxing's appearance is exactly the same as Bai Qiuning's.
Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Cheng's mind in an instant, and he also discovered countless doubts.
Logically, Tian Xuanxing and Bai Qiu Ning should not know each other. They only got to know each other after being introduced by Shen Cheng.
But Tianxuanxing actually looks exactly like Bai Qiuning, which means that they have a close relationship and have known each other from the beginning - because when Shen Cheng introduced them to each other, they did not show any surprise at each other's identical appearance.
Once he discovered that Bai Qiu Ning and Tian Xuan Xing were in the same group, thinking back on past experiences, Shen Cheng discovered a lot of hidden doubts.
For a moment, Tianxuanxing, an ally that Shen Cheng could completely trust, also became untrustworthy.
Tian Xuanxing remained silent and took off a small part of the mask on his face, revealing a face exactly the same as Bai Qiuning.
She knew that this secret could not be kept forever and would be leaked sooner or later.
I had been planning to find an opportunity to confess, but I didn't expect to be exposed in this situation.
Confessing voluntarily and exposing oneself passively are two completely different situations.
"continue!"
Shen Cheng suddenly said, "We'll talk about other things when we get back."
He did not angrily accuse Tian Xuanxing of colluding with Bai Qiu Ning to deceive him, because now was not the time to talk about these things. Breaking through the current difficulties was the most important thing.
The souls of the two people can't hold on for much longer. If they die here, everything will be meaningless.
