Chapter 594 All Cards Revealed
Si Zan's snake tail suddenly straightened in the void, like a fully drawn bowstring.
The golden snakes stood erect, their hissing so dense it sounded like a torrential downpour hitting a sheet of iron. Their tiny forked tongues flickered wildly, and golden light danced on their scales.
Xu Si stood still, his posture even more relaxed than before.
He stood there in front of Si Zan, as if the lifting of the spatial confinement was just a trivial matter.
At the same time, he did not launch an attack, as he wanted to know just how far Si Zan's methods could go.
"...You also major in spatial laws?" For the first time, a clear sense of caution appeared in Si Zan's voice. His vertical pupils narrowed slightly as his gaze swept over the starlight aura flowing around Xu Si.
"I suppose so," Xu Si replied casually.
"However, I am still not proficient enough in the laws of space."
"Not skilled enough?" Si Zan's lips twitched, and a rare, almost distorted expression appeared on his otherwise perfect, almost unreal face.
He understood the unspoken meaning in Xu Si's words.
The other party is either bluffing, or he has encountered a real monster.
Si Zan wanted to try again. He was unconvinced. How could he just casually encounter a human who was a prodigy among humans?
"Since the laws of space are not working against you, I'll try another approach."
Si Zan's snake tail suddenly coiled up, and all the golden snakes on its head raised their heads, each snake's scales gleaming with a dark golden light, like a sign that some ancient rune had been activated.
He stopped testing the waters and stopped concealing his aura. The thin vertical line on his forehead slowly split open, revealing a rotating diamond-shaped eye.
Countless fine threads of light flowed within those pupils, each thread being a law vein compressed to its extreme.
Xu Si's starry eyes narrowed slightly.
He finally saw the true power form of Sequence Nine in his opponent in this world.
The laws are internalized, using the body as a container and bloodline as a medium to materialize the laws into an entity that can be directly used in combat.
A faint, confident smile appeared on Si Zan's face, which was so perfect it was almost unreal.
He raised his hand, his fingertips lightly tracing a line in the air, and the diamond-shaped pupil within that vertical line suddenly lit up for a moment.
Then, the golden snakes moved.
They no longer hung down neatly in the form of "hair," but instead peeled off, expanded, and extended from Si Zan's scalp. Each golden snake grew to over ten feet long as it detached, its entire body covered with fine, dark golden scales, and its snake eyes burned with the same cold light as Si Zan's eyes.
Hundreds of golden snakes shot out at the same moment, each trajectory precisely locking onto Xu Si's surroundings.
They were like a net that tightened instantly, closing in from all directions. Their speed was so fast that even the stardust in the void didn't have time to be disturbed before being pierced by the snake's head.
Xu Si did not dodge.
A faint glint of sharpness flashed deep within his starry eyes, and then those golden snakes actually bit through his star power barrier.
"puff--"
The first snake head pierced his left shoulder, its dark golden fangs digging into his flesh. Xu Si felt an extremely sharp pain spreading from the wound.
It wasn't physical pain, but a kind of burning sensation at the level of laws, like a red-hot iron skewer piercing the depths of consciousness.
Immediately following the second and third strikes, dozens of golden snakes struck his torso and limbs almost simultaneously, like a human-shaped target nailed to dark golden arrows.
Si Zan's lips curled up slightly, and Xu Si sensed that his life force seemed to be draining away.
Xu Si also sensed the primal power unique to the laws of life in those golden snakes.
However, this guy actually used the Law of Life to devour the Law of Life, which is quite an unconventional approach.
Xu Si looked down at the golden snakes piercing his torso. Their dark golden scales gleamed coldly in the void. The snake heads were buried deep in his flesh, and their eyes burned with the same greedy, cold flames as Si Zan's.
He could clearly feel the life force draining outwards along the channels formed by those fangs, like water gushing from a punctured water sac.
But he did not struggle, nor did he try to use his star power to shake the snake heads away.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
"The laws of life... I happen to know a little bit about them too."
As Xu Si spoke, the golden snakes' devouring actions suddenly paused for a moment, and then the situation seemed to reverse.
Si Zan's expression changed drastically in the next moment.
He could sense that his life force was not increasing, but rather decreasing.
His golden snake is becoming a conduit for Xu Si to absorb his life force in reverse.
"How could this happen?"
He tried to tear off the golden snakes, but the law channel constructed by the law of life and strengthened by Xu Si was not so easy to break.
This trick works quite well.
He was very familiar with the power of the laws of devouring. Before, he had devoured the power of the laws of various worlds. This was the first time he had truly devoured the power of the laws of living beings.
Xu Si tried again to see if he could devour Si Zan's spatial laws.
It went very smoothly, to my surprise.
Si Zan was almost completely unprepared, clearly not expecting anyone to use his methods to devour his power.
Si Zan's vertical pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinhead, and the fine filaments deep within his diamond-shaped pupils flickered wildly, like a lamp swaying precariously in a gale.
He could clearly feel his spatial and life laws being drawn from his body by some irresistible force along the channels constructed by those golden snakes.
The feeling was like being slowly and continuously sucked out of the bone marrow with a hollow needle.
It doesn't hurt, but what's more terrifying than pain is despair.
Because each suction takes away a bit of the foundation of his strength.
"You..." For the first time, Si Zan's voice lost its composure, the words being bitten off between his teeth.
Xu Si did not answer.
His attention was completely absorbed in the ingenious dismantling within his body.
The spatial laws of Si Zan, after being refined and compressed by the other party, were gentler than those he had absorbed before, and filled his small world almost instantly.
Xu Si was in no hurry.
While continuing to absorb Si Zan's power of law through the golden snake, he kept a close eye on Si Zan's movements to see if he had any other trump cards up his sleeve.
If it weren't for Xu Si, I wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
Let this guy know what it means to keep a low profile.
Si Zan finally responded.
He stopped trying to tear the golden snakes apart and instead suddenly raised his hands, his five fingers rapidly forming a complex fingerprint in the air.
The magic array enveloping Earth seemed to come alive, staring directly at Xu Si with overwhelming rage.
Si Zan's anger was palpable; he had already revealed all his cards.
