The night was exceptionally dark, as if someone had painted the entire sky with ink.
Fortunately, there was still moonlight shining through the forest, allowing Zhang Heng to barely see the road under his feet.
The next moment, however, Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw a black gauze slowly falling from the sky.
At first, it was only the size of an ordinary piece of clothing, but then it suddenly expanded tens of thousands of times, enveloping the entire mountain. The light emitted by the moon was completely blocked on the other side of the black gauze, so the earth was completely shrouded in darkness!
Zhang Heng did not panic. He opened his backpack and took out the Explorer's Light. However, for some unknown reason, this Grade-C game item could only illuminate less than half a meter in front of him. Beyond this half a meter, the light seemed to be swallowed by something.
At the same time, something whizzed past Zhang Heng's head. From the sound of it, it seemed to be a carriage. Zhang Heng recalled the description of Nix in Greek mythology. She was riding a black carriage and galloping through the sky at night.
Unfortunately, with his current visibility, Zhang Heng could not even see Nix's shadow.
This woman was indeed very cunning. Even though she said that she wanted to fight Zhang Heng, the first thing she did before the battle began was to put herself in an invincible position.
"Are you ready? It's about to begin."
Nix chuckled, and then the sound of the carriage suddenly disappeared. Just as Zhang Heng was concentrating on Nix's location, the next moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him.
A distance of half a meter could be covered in the blink of an eye for a galloping pegasus. Zhang Heng did not even have time to turn around before he was knocked away by the carriage.
However, Nix let out a soft cry of surprise after she succeeded.
At the last moment, a water film wrapped around Zhang Heng, slowing down the impact of the horse's impact. Although Zhang Heng seemed to have fallen far away, he did not suffer much damage. At most, he only had a bruise on his back.
Nix did not follow up with another attack. She looked at the direction where Zhang Heng landed, and then drove the carriage back into the darkness.
Not only did the collision send Zhang Heng flying, but the Explorer's Light also fell into the water. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to pick it up. However, Zhang Heng simply put his left hand into the water, and the Explorer's Light returned to his hand the next moment. The sound of the black horse's hooves had disappeared again.
At this moment, Nix was sitting in the carriage, looking at Zhang Heng from afar. She was a little curious about how this mortal was going to deal with her attack.
The night was like her home turf. As long as she wanted to, she could come and go in the carriage without leaving a trace. She could even stay silent until she was within half a meter of the light source of the Explorer's Light. However, even with Zhang Heng's reaction speed, it would be difficult for him to react effectively at such a short distance.
Although he still had the water to protect him, his body would not be able to take it if he was hit a few more times.
As a result, Nix saw Zhang Heng turn off the Explorer's Light after a moment of silence. The only light source between heaven and earth disappeared, and Zhang Heng was completely shrouded in darkness.
Was he giving up?
Needless to say, Nyx did not hold back when she saw this. She immediately drove the carriage towards Zhang Heng. This time, she chose to face Zhang Heng head-on. If Zhang Heng was hit, the battle would be over.
The carriage drove until it was two meters away from Zhang Heng, and he did not react at all. It was as if his eyes and ears were completely blinded by the darkness.
However, just as Nix swung the reins and was about to hit Zhang Heng, something unexpected happened. Zhang Heng, who was standing motionless, suddenly raised his sword in front of him.
His sword accurately cut the front leg of the black horse that was pulling the carriage. After that, the black horse let out a miserable cry. Its entire leg was cut off by Zhang Heng, and the Shrouded Scabbard's momentum did not slow down at all!
The moment Zhang Heng swung the sword, he had activated the Mortal Scale, and it was an unprecedented four-fold increase in strength!
What Nix did not understand was how Zhang Heng was able to accurately locate her in the dark. She was the only king in the dark, and the carriage she was driving was also a Grade-B game item!
However, Nix did not know that it was her Grade-B game item that had exposed her position.
Zhang Heng did not rely on his sight or hearing when he swung the sword. Instead, he relied on the Shrouded Scabbard's excitement when it saw a high-grade game item. Instead of saying that the sword was swung by Zhang Heng, it was more accurate to say that the Shrouded Scabbard swung the sword on its own. Zhang Heng was just the person holding the sword.
In the end, the Shrouded Scabbard chopped off two of the horse's legs in one go, and then the carriage's axle. Nix had no choice but to jump out of her carriage in embarrassment. That was how she managed to escape the tragedy of her carriage being destroyed.
The Goddess of the Night was no longer as calm and confident as before. However, that was not the end. The next moment, Zhang Heng looked at her again.
To be precise, he did not "look" at her. He just turned his head in her direction. Nix could see that Zhang Heng's eyes were not focused on her, but he rushed towards her without hesitation.
Nix was shocked when she saw this. Her carriage had been destroyed, and she could only rely on her own legs to escape. As she ran, she shouted without a care for her dignity, "How much longer are you going to watch?!"
"We are not watching. It's just that your black veil has blocked our view," said a majestic male voice.
Nix couldn't be bothered to answer. She rolled forward with all her might, dodging the blade beam that came from behind her. However, she was still half a beat too slow. The skin on her back was cut open, and black blood dripped to the ground. The unusual pain from the wound made the Evernight Goddess feel both alarmed and furious.
Just when she thought she was going to die here, a giant sword blocked Zhang Heng's next attack.
After that, the sound of swords colliding could be heard one after another. The owner of the giant sword actually took on Zhang Heng's series of attacks in the pitch-black darkness.
When both of them took a step back, the Goddess of the Night, who had just escaped death, finally retracted the black veil from the sky. She draped it over her body and panted heavily.
Zhang Heng finally got a good look at the person who had just blocked his attack. It was a burly man with golden teeth in his mouth, a horn hanging around his neck, and a giant sword in his hand.
