Su Xi heard Jin Can's question but did not answer, a smile playing on her lips.
She hadn't forgotten Jin Can's dismissive reaction when she'd inquired earlier. Now that the tables had turned, she certainly wouldn't be kind enough to explain.
After all, this was her secret.
No one was to know about the supercomputer.
Furthermore, she was a vengeful person and would never do something as foolish as repaying evil with good. Her style was to retaliate in kind, with blood for blood.
Jin Can saw the expression on Su Xi's face and instantly understood her thoughts.
A smile then appeared on his lips as he looked at Su Xi.
It didn't matter that Su Xi was unwilling to speak now. Once he captured her, he would quickly uncover her secrets using the soul-extraction technique.
Ling Mao and Xu Ge exchanged a glance, positioning themselves on either side of Su Xi.
It was clear they understood Jin Can was not to be trifled with and would need to go all out to deal with him.
"Meow~"
Ling Mao let out a soft meow as Jin Can approached.
Immediately, a series of ripples spread outwards.
Their usually unstoppable combination attack, however, seemed as fragile as paper, unable to impede Jin Can's advance.
As if completely unaffected, Jin Can soon stopped just five steps away from Su Xi.
He looked at Su Xi and extended his hand, "Hand over the item, and as my slave, I can spare you."
Su Xi had managed to withstand so many of his moves, a feat he acknowledged.
Therefore, he wished to recruit her into his service.
Su Xi shook her head at Jin Can's words and decisively refused, "You are dreaming. I would rather die than be enslaved."
Hearing Su Xi's refusal, Jin Can shook his head and said nonchalantly, "Since you wish to die, do not blame me for being ruthless."
With that, Jin Can's body began to emit a gray light.
As the gray light appeared, Su Xi felt the gravity around her body increase dramatically. The bluestone tiles beneath her feet instantly cracked, and her bones began to creak.
Su Xi felt the immense pressure, her eyes reddening as she glared at Jin Can, her teeth clenched.
With such immense pressure, it was difficult for her to move even an inch, let alone cast spells, which became even more challenging.
Jin Can's methods were indeed formidable.
Seeing that Su Xi was completely suppressed, Jin Can showed no intention of stopping. He slowly raised his right hand and pointed in the air.
As Jin Can moved, the ground beneath Su Xi began to soften. Her body started to sink slowly into the earth.
Within a few breaths, more than half of her body was submerged, as if she were half buried.
Su Xi did not know the consequences of being buried in the earth, but she knew it would be nothing good.
If she couldn't escape her current predicament, she was truly finished.
So, Su Xi gritted her teeth, and all her magical power instantly converged on the heavenly talisman above her head. Then, she shouted, "Soul Ferry."
As the magical power gathered within her body, a faint ripple of energy instantly permeated the air, stirring the souls of everyone present.
Su Xi knew the situation was dire, and she was unwilling to hold anything back.
This was the first time she had encountered someone so powerful since arriving in this world, so she dared not be careless. She had to use all her might to have any chance of survival.
As Su Xi's magical power poured out recklessly, the air shimmered with ripples. Then, a faint, elusive connection shot towards Jin Can.
Accompanying this faint energy fluctuation, Jin Can felt his soul being drawn, an uncontrollable sensation.
"Huh?" Jin Can's eyes showed a hint of confusion as he witnessed this scene.
He had just felt Su Xi tapping into the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Although Su Xi's use of the Heavenly Dao's power was weak, it was still the Heavenly Dao's power. Given time, it could become a formidable force in the future.
The thought made Jin Can look at Su Xi with growing intensity.
If he could learn this technique from Su Xi, dealing with others would be much easier in the future. Even becoming one of the Four Great Leaders would no longer be a pipe dream.
With this realization, Jin Can's heart grew fervent, and his gaze towards Su Xi began to change.
Facing Su Xi's attack for the first time, he did not dodge. Instead, he charged towards her.
The sooner he controlled Su Xi, the sooner he could discover ways to improve his own strength.
Seeing that her heavenly talisman had no effect on Jin Can, Su Xi was utterly astonished.
Since learning this move, Su Xi had never encountered such a situation. In the past, no matter how powerful an opponent, their souls would inevitably be affected.
Now, her heavenly talisman had lost its effect, and Jin Can was completely unfazed.
Despite her confusion, Su Xi knew this was not the time to ponder such matters. The immediate priority was to deal with Jin Can.
She didn't know how powerful Jin Can was, but she knew she had to evade him now. If he got close, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Jin Can let out a scornful laugh seeing Su Xi's attempt to flee, "With these tricks, you think you can escape? It's too late for you to realize this now, isn't it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately channeled the magical power within his body, and a powerful force once again swept towards Su Xi.
Su Xi's body, which had just begun to lift off, was instantly slammed back to the ground by this immense gravity.
The intense pain almost shattered her body.
Seeing Su Xi lying on the ground, Jin Can wore a triumphant smile. He walked up to Su Xi and asked condescendingly, "Now, what other tricks do you have? Bring them all out."
Although his cultivation was the lowest among the Twelve Protectors, he possessed a mutated talent that others lacked.
The Absolute Gravity Domain.
Within his Absolute Gravity Domain, everyone would experience dozens of times the normal gravity. The overwhelming pressure rendered all their techniques useless, leaving them like lambs to the slaughter.
Su Xi's cultivation was already lower than his, so the suppression effect was naturally more pronounced.
Seeing Su Xi in danger, Ling Mao and Xu Ge, disregarding everything else, rushed towards Su Xi.
They were spirit beasts to Su Xi. If Su Xi were in danger, they would not survive either.
Therefore, for their own safety, they absolutely could not let Su Xi be harmed.
Jin Can, without even lifting an eyelid, gently flicked his hand towards the two spirit beasts rushing towards him. Instantly, both were pinned to the ground.
"Alas, no one can save you now," Jin Can said, looking at Su Xi with feigned sympathy.
In his world, no one had the ability to save Su Xi.
"Pfft!" The immense power instantly caused Su Xi to spit out blood. At the same time, she felt as if all her bones were about to break.
