Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 672: Caught in Net
Mingyue slammed her palm out again.
A purple lotus bloomed in front of Alex, larger than before.
CLANG!!!
The spear hit the lotus and stopped.
Then it exploded again.
BOOM!!!
The blast tore a hole through the debris field, and the shockwave pushed Alex and Mingyue forward like they were being launched.
Alex used it.
He leaned into the push and forced their bodies to ride the shockwave.
They shot toward the border of the system.
The web around them thinned slightly.
The threads were still everywhere, but the farther they went, the weaker it looks.
Alex’s eyes narrowed. "Almost."
Olivia expression did not change.
But her dark flame surged higher.
The spears stopped being spears.
They became chains.
Long, thin chains made of dark fire, snapping outward.
Swossh!!!
One chain wrapped around a chunk of debris and yanked it like a weapon.
BAM!!!
The debris slammed into Alex’s side and shattered, spraying fragments into Mingyue.
Mingyue blocked with her sword, but the fragments still cut her cheek and shoulder.
Blood floated out the Threads caught it instantly.
Olivia’s smile widened, She raised her hand.
The chains snapped again.
Swossh!!!
Dark chains snapped after them.
One came straight for Alex’s throat.
BOOM!!!
Alex swung his warhammer and blew it away with white flame. The chain snapped back like a whip and struck again from the side.
Two more chains followed, aiming to cut their path off.
Swossh!!! Swossh!!!
Mingyue slid past the first and cut the second.
SLASH!!!
Purple frost locked onto the chain for a breath, freezing it mid-snap.
Olivia’s dark flame washed over it. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The frozen chain broke into black ash and reformed in the next moment, already striking again.
BAM!!!
A chain wrapped around a drifting rock and flung it like a mace.
Alex turned and took it on the hammer.
BOOM!!!
The rock burst apart and the fragments scattered like shrapnel.
Mingyue raised her sword and deflected what she could, but a few pieces still cut her cheek and shoulder.
The border was close, they could already see the space station guarding it.
Olivia lifted her hand.
The dark chains lined up.
Then they shot out together.
Swossh!!! Swossh!!! Swossh!!!
A fan of chains reached for Mingyue first, aiming low.
Mingyue tried to step through.
She was half a beat late.
One chain wrapped her ankle and tightened like a noose.
Her body jerked backward.
The chain dug into her skin and started to burn through her boot.
Mingyue’s breath hitched. She raised her blade and slashed down.
SLASH!!!
The chain did not break.
It only tightened harder and dragged her away from Alex.
Alex’s face went cold, "Sorry MingYue."
He stepped in and swung.
SLASH!!!
White flame flashed along the hammer’s edge.
He cut Mingyue’s leg off clean at the ankle.
The trapped foot was left behind, still bound to the chain.
Blood burst out from the stump.
But it doesn’t last long as it already begin to regenerate.
Alex pulled her toward him. "Let’s go."
Olivia’s eyes narrowed.
The chain that held the severed foot flared.
The foot obliterated without trace.
Then the chain snapped forward again.
Swossh!!!
Two chains shot for Alex’s back.
BOOM!!!
Alex spun and smashed one chain with his hammer.
The second chain slipped past and wrapped his forearm.
It tightened and started to drag him backward.
Alex planted his feet like there was ground and forced white flame into the chain.
BOOM!!!
The chain loosened for half a second.
Mingyue did not waste it.
She thrust her palm forward.
Purple lotuses bloomed in the empty space between Alex and the chain, one after another..
The chain hit the first lotus.
CLANG!!!
It detonated into frost and purple shards.
The blast forced the chain off Alex’s arm.
Alex yanked himself free and grabbed Mingyue by the waist.
Olivia moved closer.
Swossh!!!
She appeared behind them and slammed her palm forward.
BAM!!!
The space around them compressed like a hand closing.
Alex forced white flame outward with a roar.
BOOM!!!
The pressure broke for a breath.
They shot forward again.
Olivia clicked her tongue. "Still running."
Her chains changed again, now they became hooks.
Swossh!!!
Hooks flew past Alex and Mingyue, pierced drifting asteroids, and anchored.
Then they pulled.
BAM!!!
The whole asteroids field shifted, trying to slam into them from both sides.
Alex slammed his hammer into a large rock and detonated it.
BOOM!!!
The explosion cleared a path.
Mingyue raised her palm and bloomed three lotuses in a row, shielding their flank from the debris wave.
CLANG!!! CLANG!!!
Two lotuses shattered.
The third held just long enough.
Alex dragged Mingyue through the gap and sprinted toward the border.
Olivia raised her hand again.
This time the chains linked into a wide net.
Swossh!!!
The net spread out like a trap waiting them to come.
Alex clenched his teeth and forced everything into one strike.
BOOM!!!
But it barely have any impact.
Olivia smiled, she grasped her hand.
The opening net moved surrounding both Alex and MingYue.
"Got you."
Then the threads around Olivia vibrated.
The web at the border was thinner, but it was still connected.
Threads snapped toward Olivia and wrapped around her wrists first.
Olivia’s frowned, Black flame surged up her arms.
Fsshh!!!
The first wave of threads burned to nothingness.
Olivia pulled her hands apart and the net around Alex and Mingyue tightened, trying to close like a mouth.
"You cannot escape now," Olivia said.
More threads came.
They went for her shoulders, her neck, her waist.
Olivia’s flame flared wider.
BOOM!!!
A ring of black fire burst out and erased the nearest threads into ash.
Dozens.
They came from behind, from below, from angles that did not make sense, snapping into place like they were already measured.
Olivia’s eyes narrowed.
She swung her arm and black flame cut a line through them.
Fsshh!!! Fsshh!!!
Olivia’s flame started to look heavy, like it was being pressed down.
"Annoying," she muttered.
Alex’s teeth clenched.
The net was still closing on him and Mingyue.
