Chapter 496: Already prepared
A cloud of powder mist sprayed out from Anu's hand.
The pink mist spread out in the air like a blooming firework, covering the hundred-eyed insects that were attacking head-on.
Li Zhi, who was not far away, narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He had witnessed the power of Anu's fog not long ago. He knew that these powder mists had the ability to confuse other people's minds and make people fall into confusion and loss.
If Li Zhi were to fight with him, encountering this situation, Li Zhi would not dare to act rashly and could only avoid it first.
However, the person fighting with Anu at this moment was not Li Zhi, and was not even a living person.
But it's a hundred-eyed insect!
For a monster like the Hundred-Eyed Insect, Anu's powder mist, which is enough to make people afraid, is just like ordinary dust and has no effect at all.
The Hundred-Eyed Insect suddenly shook its huge head, as if it was very disdainful of Anu's attack. It opened its bloody mouth and bit directly at Anu, as fast as lightning.
Seeing this, Anu was shocked and blew the whistle quickly.
Sharp whistles sounded all around, like an urgent signal.
The moment the whistle sounded, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. Then, giant earthworms emerged from the ground, twisting their bodies and swiftly pouncing towards the Hundred-Eyed Insect.
These earthworms are huge in size. They use their strong bodies to tightly wrap around the hundred-eyed worms, making it difficult for the hundred-eyed worms to break free for a while.
Although these earthworms were far less powerful than the hundred-eyed worms, their large numbers successfully bought Anu a little time.
Anu took the opportunity to quickly escape from the attack direction of the hundred-eyed insect.
However, before she could gain her footing or catch her breath, the five little ghosts controlled by Li Zhi attacked her again like ghosts.
Anu's face turned extremely ugly. Li Zhi's attack was merciless and did not give her any chance to breathe.
Obviously, Li Zhi wanted to take her down in one go.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the hundred-eyed worm was tightly entangled by the earthworm summoned by Anu and could not escape for the time being.
Seeing this, Anu felt relieved. What she was most worried about was that her earth escape technique would be forced out again by the hundred-eyed insects. Now that the hundred-eyed insects could not stop her, she could just use the earth escape technique.
In a flash, Anu used the earth escape technique without hesitation. Her body quickly drilled into the ground like lightning and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Li Zhi's eyes turned cold and he looked around with a vigilant look in his eyes.
Li Zhi had already known Anu long before.
Cen Mu's hatred for Anu and his trust in Li Zhi made him tell Li Zhi everything he knew.
Cen Mu had told Li Zhi all the relevant information about Anu, and Li Zhi also had a certain understanding of Anu's cruelty and deep thoughts.
As a person who has been under strict control since childhood, he was able to successfully escape in an unfamiliar place and even kill many people. This kind of person is definitely not a good person and is definitely not an easy character to deal with.
Therefore, when Li Zhi found Anu in the inn, he was already highly wary of her.
Li Zhi didn't believe Anu's words about coming to remind him and cooperating with him at all.
Li Zhi and Anu had never met each other before, and at best they had only met once. How could Anu come all the way to remind him?
As for the issue of cooperation, Li Zhi even scoffed at it.
There are many people who are more capable than Li Zhi. Why should Anu look for someone who is already in trouble to cooperate with?
Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Zhi did not take what Anu said seriously at all.
If they were not in the Guard City at the time and not in the inn, Li Zhi would have been worried that if he took action, it would attract other people's attention and might even alert the people from the Xingyun Sect. Li Zhi would have taken action long ago.
Because of this concern, Li Zhicai suppressed the impulse in his heart, and pretended to be friendly with Annu, saying some meaningless words.
Anu obviously had other plans, so he brought him to this silent and deserted meteorite forest.
Although Li Zhi knew that Anu had evil intentions, he still chose to enter the Meteorite Forest because he was worried that if Anu saw him escape, she might spread his whereabouts.
If this is the case, it will only make Li Zhi's situation more difficult.
So, after much deliberation, Li Zhi decided that even if there was danger in the Meteoric Forest, he would go in. He wanted to take advantage of the dark and windy night, in this quiet and deserted place, to kill the threat of Anu!
As for the reason why Anu came to see him, Li Zhi had a clear idea in his mind after talking with Anu just now.
He thought to himself that Anu came here just to kill him, take away the Heart of the Stars, and then seek revenge on the Zhao family.
Li Zhi knew that once someone like Anu, who carries a great grudge, makes up his mind, he will never give up until he achieves his goal.
Therefore, even though Anu had gone underground, Li Zhi was not worried at all that she would take the opportunity to escape. Because he knew very well that with Anu's personality, she would never retreat so easily.
She must be hiding underground at this time, looking for an opportunity to attack Li Zhi.
As expected, just as the hundred-eyed worm had just broken free from the entanglement of the earthworms and was about to burrow into the ground to find Anu, the ground next to Li Zhi suddenly exploded as if it had been detonated by explosives.
Accompanied by a cloud of dust, Anu's figure suddenly appeared like a ghost.
Anu's eyes flashed with sharp brilliance, as if they could penetrate the scattered dust and fall directly on Li Zhi.
Her movements were as swift as lightning. Without hesitation, she stretched out a finger and pointed it fiercely at Li Zhi's brow like a poisonous snake emerging from its hole.
"Waiting for you!"
Li Zhi suddenly shouted angrily, and his voice exploded in the air like thunder.
His eyes were fixed on Anu in front of him, with a vigilant glint in his eyes.
Just when Anu's fingertips were about to touch Li Zhi, Li Zhi extended a finger without hesitation and pointed it directly at Anu.
Li Zhi had long been on guard against Anu's method.
From the information told by Cen Mu, Li Zhi learned that in addition to the earth escape spell, Anu also had a spell that could suck the flesh and blood of others.
When Cen Mu reviewed the situation later, he also guessed that Anu's magic of sucking the flesh and blood of others must be performed at close range.
Out of trust in Li Zhi, Cen Mu naturally told Li Zhi everything.
Because of this, Li Zhi kept a certain distance from Anu from the beginning to prevent Anu from getting close to him.
At this moment, facing Anu's finger, Li Zhi felt no fear at all. The Qi in his body circulated, gathering at his fingertips, and the ready-made Spirit Pointing Finger was instantly unleashed!
At the moment the two fingers touched, Li Zhi and Anu's bodies trembled violently at the same time, as if they had been hit by a powerful impact.
Then, the two of them retreated together as if pushed away by an invisible force.
