Zi attempted to leave using the gap, but failed, and the teleportation distance was greatly limited. She tried to break free using the power of her realm, but this nearly resulted in a backlash from the chaotic spacetime.

This is not a normal world, but a broken space that is constantly collapsing and being destroyed.

After nearly being seriously injured during her first attempt to use the boundary, Zi realized the danger of this place.

A shattered space implies the instability of its own rules. To rashly manipulate one's realm in such a place would likely result in disaster, even for someone at their peak, let alone someone like Zi who hasn't fully recovered her power yet.

After realizing this fact, she was quite worried that Li Cheng might touch the realm of this chaotic world and suffer a backlash. However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, she remembered that Li Cheng's mastery of the realm was so low that he could not possibly touch that deep realm. At most, he could only affect some very superficial things. Therefore, he was unlikely to suffer a backlash from the chaotic power like she did.

Is it because they're too weak that they won't be targeted? I feel like if Cheng knew this, he'd have a very interesting expression on his face.

As Zi imagined Li Cheng saying something like "I'm so sorry, I'm too weak" with a helpless expression, she flew into the air with Huo and began searching for the unusual area in this gray fog world, looking for a way to break out of their current predicament.

At the same time, in another pile of ruins, Li Cheng suddenly sneezed and then showed a slightly puzzled expression.

"That's really strange. How can someone with my constitution still sneeze?"

Somewhat puzzled, Li Cheng rubbed his nose and muttered something under his breath.

Maybe someone is missing the uncle.

"Dah!" Marisa, who was standing beside her, chimed in almost immediately, "I've heard many people say that when you miss someone, the other person can sense that feeling and respond instinctively."

"Is that so? I remember that when someone secretly curses another person to embarrass themselves, the other person might sense that malicious thought and react instinctively?"

"Well, it's all the same whether I'm thinking about someone or not, so it's not a big deal, they're all pretty much the same da★ze~"

This is a huge problem, okay? The two situations are completely different in nature.

Li Cheng really wanted to say something, but at this moment Marisa had already run ahead, so he could only swallow his words and follow her steps forward.

At this moment, Li Cheng and Marisa are walking on a dilapidated suspension bridge suspended in mid-air.

This strange world seems to operate under rather bizarre physical rules. At times, it feels light and airy, making one feel as if they might float away at any moment; at other times, it feels as if a tremendous force is pressing down, making even moving forward extremely difficult. Of course, the two also encounter some rather unusual situations from time to time. For example, right now, there is a suspension bridge between two suspended ruins, and a large area of ​​strong gravity exists around the bridge, forcing the two, who both possess the ability to levitate, to choose to walk across the bridge.

At the end of the suspension bridge lies a bustling city, or rather, a once-bustling city. But now, only incomplete ruins remain, buried by wind and sand.

The reason Li Cheng chose this place as his destination was because he could vaguely sense something there, and hoping to find some clues, he decided to head in this direction. Marisa, who had been wandering around aimlessly without any clues, chose to follow Li Cheng without hesitation after asking him about his reasons for choosing this path.

"So, where is the uncle planning to go next?"

Stepping onto the rugged ground where white sand and gravel intertwined, Li Cheng stopped, gazing at the vast ruins before him in deep thought. Marisa, standing beside him, looked around with interest before asking him a question.

"It's just a vague feeling, probably... underground?"

Li Cheng said somewhat uncertainly.

"Then, should we just blast it open?"

Marisa then pulled out her small gadget, which she called the "Mini Eight Trigrams Furnace," clearly intending to blast a road directly into the ground.

"No, please don't do that!"

Li Cheng quickly pulled her back.

"What if there's something really dangerous down there that blows up if you hit it?"

As he spoke, Li Cheng squatted down and tried to use his demonic power to sense the space below the ground.

"There seems to be a large cavity down there. I'll use the gap to take you in."

The black gap connected the ground and underground, sending the two into a pitch-black world. Marisa first exclaimed in surprise after experiencing the gap teleportation, then waved her hand to release colorful flashes, illuminating the dark cave.

Speaking of this girl's magic tricks, not only are they incredibly powerful, but they also always have an extremely gorgeous visual presentation, often appearing in a variety of colors or dazzling brilliance.

Standing beside the girl, Li Cheng watched Marisa casually unleash a light magic spell and couldn't help but marvel at how the old-fashioned environment of Gensokyo could enhance one's training.

Rin Tohsaka possesses exceptional qualities among magicians of her rank, yet after years of arduous training, she could only achieve the rank of B-class magician. This carefree girl, who doesn't seem to be the type to train very hard, has already acquired such immense power. It can only be attributed to the difference in their environments.

Ahead of the illuminated cave was a somewhat narrow path, easily passable by Marisa's size. However, Li Cheng frequently found himself stuck, forced to use brute force to push through the narrow passage and slowly crawl forward. By the time he reached a relatively spacious area, the passage had essentially widened considerably, riddled with loose rocks and cracks.

Li Cheng's body also became somewhat covered in dust and dirt.

However, at this point, he no longer had the energy to pay attention to these things.

There was some extremely dangerous signal stimulating his mind and body. Within just two or three seconds of entering this area, Li Cheng's heart rate increased by a third, and he couldn't help but put on a serious look.

To his slight surprise, Marisa, who was always smiling beside him, had unusually restrained her relaxed demeanor and was cautiously observing her surroundings. She was holding the miniature Bagua furnace, which could unleash astonishing firepower, in her hand, looking ready to unleash it.

Noticing Li Cheng's gaze, Marisa shook her head and said very seriously, "Don't be so rude, uncle. I've been through a lot of life-or-death situations, and I can smell the battlefield very clearly."

A battlefield?

"Although I don't know where you went to fight your battles, this place certainly gives off a very ominous feeling."

Under the magical light of the illumination, a dilapidated corridor was revealed. Li Cheng noticed many bullet holes and cracks, corroded by time, but still indicating that a battle had likely taken place here. However, he found no corpses along the way, not even bones.

In contrast, a strange sense of crisis lingered, instead becoming clearer as they moved forward.

Is it just ahead?

Stepping through a heavy steel door nearly half a meter thick, with a large hole blasted in the middle, behind which was a room clearly intended as a temporary shelter. Li Cheng had seen similar things before and knew that only the extremely wealthy could afford to build such underground shelters.

Even I would need four or five strikes to open this thick protective plate, right? But judging from the marks on it, it seems to have been destroyed in one go.

Contemplating the immense power of the person responsible for such destruction, Li Cheng cautiously stepped into the dilapidated shelter, only to hear a heavy breathing sound from above.

Up there?!

Completely subconscious, Li Cheng took a step back, his body reflexively rotating and then straight forward, facing upwards. In that spot, on the equally dilapidated ceiling, a dark figure lay silently crouching.

With just a cursory glance, Li Cheng only caught a vague glimpse of a black humanoid figure. However, the other party clearly didn't intend to give Li Cheng time to observe carefully. Almost the instant he turned around, the figure let out a harsh roar and pounced straight at Li Cheng below like lightning.

In such a short time and at such a rapid speed, Li Cheng only had time to raise his hands to protect his head before he felt as if an overloaded heavy truck had crashed into him. He was slammed into the ground with a loud bang that was so loud it was like the air was exploding. The shockwave stirred up dust and instantly drowned out the light emitted by Marisa, plunging the space back into darkness.

But then, a dazzling light, a hundred times brighter than before, burst forth in the somewhat empty, dilapidated room.

A vast amount of light and shadow, with a brightness approaching that of light pollution, filled every corner. At the center of this light, Marisa raised the miniature Bagua Furnace high, and a magical cannon of unprecedented size, completely different from the one that shattered Li Cheng's clothes, was released from Marisa's hand, pointing straight at the black shadow that was darting around.

boom--

After the deafening roar, there was the sound of the ground being shattered and torn apart, and light and shadows projected down from the broken earth. There was no time to see if it had hit the opponent, because this extraordinary attack had already shattered the ground, and irreversible collapse was rapidly burying the place.

Mounting her broom, Marisa swiftly traversed the collapsed ground at incredible speed, returning to the sky. Meanwhile, Li Cheng stood up, and in a flash, appeared on the ground outside the collapse zone, watching as a large expanse of land slowly crumbled and sank, swallowed by dust.

That move you just made was really reckless.

Rubbing his slightly sore arms, Li Cheng had to admit that he now truly admired that girl. Encountering a highly agile opponent in a dark underground area, she simply and without hesitation destroyed the scene, which was impressive in every sense.

However, it's not over yet.

A jet-black figure suddenly burst through the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust as it hurtled towards Li Cheng. Li Cheng reacted swiftly, throwing a punch almost instantly. The immense force of the punch sent his wrist reeling him back five meters. The jet-black figure was thrown back, only to be enveloped by Marisa's light barrier in the next instant, once again subjected to a barrage of magical projectiles.

"Ughhhhhh—"

The heart-wrenching screams didn't sound like a single person's voice, but rather like the combined voices of many. Li Cheng didn't understand why the monster could make such a sound, but the next moment, he witnessed the monster's counterattack.

The pitch-black light, like ripples, deflected all the dense magic projectiles. The black light rose, transforming into a living mist that absorbed the magic projectiles released by Marisa while continuously increasing its speed, chasing after Marisa who was dodging and weaving through the sky. This thing seemed immune to magic; no matter how Marisa attacked, she remained unharmed. Therefore, for a time, she could only flee, chasing the ever-expanding black mist in mid-air.

At this moment, Li Cheng finally saw the thing clearly. Somewhat shockingly, it wasn't the bizarre monster he had imagined, but rather the appearance of an ordinary adult male, only his entire body was covered in black slime, making him look distorted and grotesque.

A thick, ominous aura emanated from the monster. Of course, Li Cheng also clearly remembered the terrifying power this creature had displayed when it attacked him earlier.

The next moment, Li Cheng passed through the gap, traversing the thick black fog in the blink of an eye, and arrived directly in front of the monster. The next moment, he swung his heavy fist, viciously branding it onto the monster's torso.

I recommend the book "I'll Die If I Don't Fall in Love!", which is still a promising young book that needs nurturing.

One day, someone made a bet with an online person who claimed to be a god:

"Even if I, Wang Xiao, starve to death, am penniless, destitute on the streets, or die suddenly on the spot, I will never fall in love!"

As a result, he was cursed with the belief that he would die if he didn't fall in love.

Matsusaka Sugar, Kobe Salt, Gasai Yuno, Tomie, Ryugu Reia, Shinjo Akane, Takarada Rikka, Ruby… Holding these photos of stunningly beautiful women, Wang Xiao, with his long face slung over his arm, said this.

"I think you might as well just let me die."

A youth campus comedy story themed around yandere, prodigies, demons, monsters, hunters, and idols has officially begun.

Chapter 10, Section 300: Boundaries and Blood

Flashes of light and shadow, incessant roars—the city ruins, shrouded in gray fog, were now filled with the sounds of explosions and colorful lights, as if celebrating a festival.

Li Cheng traversed the smoke and dust, passing through one black spike after another, leaping up from the collapsed ground, instantly approaching the human figure covered in black mud, and slamming a heavy punch directly into the opponent.

"Ughhh!!"

With a shrill roar, the figure was sent flying into the air. Before it could even land, a rainbow of light caught up with it as it fell. The next moment, a dense explosion erupted in mid-air, completely drowning out the figure's screams in the torrent of magic.

The figure, emitting black smoke, plummeted to the ground once more. Li Cheng, who had already caught up with the opponent, unleashed another attack, this time sending the figure flying far away, rolling on the ground like a ball dozens of times.

"Tsk, it even has a counter-damage effect?"

Li Cheng loosened his fist and looked solemnly at his fingers, which were showing signs of festering.

Unable to communicate, filled with destructive intent and murderous aura, this was the result of a brief attempt at communication, and what followed was this one-on-two battle.

A jet-black gas, corrosive to the body upon inhalation, emanated from the humanoid monster, followed by countless jet-black tentacles that burst forth. Some burrowed into the ground, shattering the surrounding earth and blocking Li Cheng's approach. Others sprayed out countless streams of black slime, attacking Marisa flying overhead.

Boom—

Boom—

On the shattered ground, a tentacle suddenly swept towards Li Cheng. Unable to dodge in time, he flew far away like a golf ball hit by a club, but fell into a gap halfway through his flight. He then reappeared from the sky directly above the monster's head, his momentum undiminished.

Breathing, coordination, exertion, internal strength, and the power of realm—adjustments that would normally require immense energy to accomplish were easily achieved by Li Cheng. He slammed into the ground like a heavy tank, the violent force even unleashing a powerful shockwave that caused several meters of ground within a fifty-meter radius to collapse.

Even so, the black monster that was hit head-on still showed no signs of damage.

“sh……a……s……”

His face, distorted by Li Cheng's punches, uttered a single, indistinct word.

The black mist solidified in an instant, and a giant black hand grabbed Li Cheng, who had gotten too close to the monster's main body, and slammed him into the ruins of a nearby building. Immediately afterward, the monster's main body leaped up, roaring as it gave chase. But when it smashed through the concrete walls and rushed into the building, it couldn't find Li Cheng anywhere.

Collapse!
