Chapter 265 This deal is a huge loss for my grandma
"Fuck." Chu Xuanyi's eyes almost popped out.
Oh shit.
Chu Xuanyi gritted his teeth, took out a golden talisman from his arms tremblingly, and roared with all his strength.
"Your Highness, this talisman was left to me by my master to save my life. I used it today to save you. I'll pay you ten times more later."
Before he could finish his words, he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the talisman.
"Stay here for me."
A golden light shot out and instantly penetrated the back of the bronze puppet.
The giant axe, which was less than three inches away from Xiao Yu's forehead, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
A golden sword light flashed by.
“Click.”
The bronze puppet's head slowly separated from its body, and then fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The hundreds of puppets remaining on the platform all stopped moving, and the red light in their eyes began to flash wildly.
"roar."
One of the puppets turned around and slashed at its companion with a knife.
More puppets became more crazy, waving their weapons and slashing at their companions around him indiscriminately.
The scene instantly became more chaotic.
“They’re messed up.”
Chu Xuanyi supported himself on the ground and analyzed while panting.
"That big one should be the command center. Now that the center is destroyed, they have lost control."
"Your Majesty."
Captain Long Ying forced back the enemy in front of him with a sword, looked at Xiao Yu and waited for new orders.
The blood on Xiao Yu's left arm had soaked through the makeshift bandage and dripped onto the ground along his fingertips.
"Each one fights for himself, and then he divides and surrounds the enemy."
"Leave no one behind."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the Dragon Shadow Guards quickly adjusted their formation and moved in groups of three or five among the puppets that had become headless flies.
Find the flaw and kill with one strike.
Another stick of incense passed.
The Dragon Shadow Guards who survived the disaster looked like they were fished out of blood.
Chu Xuanyi knelt on one knee on the ground, holding his chest and coughing violently.
He raised his head and looked at the man whose left arm was covered in blood but whose posture was still as straight as a pine tree, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Your Highness," he said weakly, "I've saved your life this time, but you must remember that I'll have to pay you more later."
Xiao Yu ignored his teasing, tore off a corner of his robe, walked over and bandaged the wound on Chu Xuanyi's chest, and then asked in a deep voice.
"How are you?"
"I won't die," Chu Xuanyi waved his hand, took out a pill from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yu, then put one in his mouth. "I'm just a little weak. The 'Taiyi Soul-Suppressing Talisman' was left to me by my master to save my life. I didn't expect it to be lost here today. I'm heartbroken."
Xiao Yu didn't say anything else, but silently transferred a stream of internal energy into his body to help him regulate the disordered breath.
Captain Longying came over with an injured leg and knelt on one knee:
"Your Majesty."
"Three Dragon Shadow Guards were killed, eleven were seriously injured, and the rest were all injured."
Xiao Yudu's hand, which was transmitting his internal energy, paused slightly.
Of the forty Dragon Shadow Guards, less than thirty were still standing.
The rest of the brothers were injured to varying degrees and were being supported by their companions while their wounds were being simply bandaged.
"Count the casualties, those who are still able to move, continue moving forward."
"yes."
Chu Xuanyi walked to Xiao Yu's side, his face a little pale.
"These are just the outermost defenses of the Shenji Pavilion. I didn't expect it to be so difficult." He whispered, "I'm afraid the danger inside is..."
"No problem."
Xiao Yu interrupted him and looked across the devastated battlefield into the deeper part of the tunnel.
"Whoever stands in the way will be killed."
For Ajiu, let alone a mere puppet, even if a god or Buddha stood in his way, he would kill him with one sword.
After a short rest, the team continued to move deeper into the underground palace.
The further you go in, the wider the space becomes.
Exquisite reliefs began to appear on the stone walls on both sides, depicting the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and even some strange-looking ancient beasts.
The stone slabs under my feet also became flat and smooth, faintly reflecting the light of the tinder.
Finally, after passing through a huge stone gate, the view in front of us suddenly opened up.
A breathtakingly magnificent underground hall appeared before everyone.
The dome of the hall is so high that the top is invisible. It is inlaid with countless luminous pearls, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
The ground was paved with a huge piece of black jade, as smooth as a mirror.
A huge chessboard floats in the center of the hall.
The chessboard is not flat, but three-dimensional.
It is composed of countless crisscrossing rays of light, forming an extremely complex star matrix.
At the nodes where the light interweaves, star-like light spots like chess pieces are suspended and slowly rotating.
At the core of the entire three-dimensional chessboard, a fist-sized stone as smooth as jade is quietly floating there.
"The heart of Mount Buzhou."
Chu Xuanyi's breathing suddenly became rapid.
That's it.
It is a treasure recorded in ancient books that can protect the soul and make it invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.
A hint of heat also flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.
He gripped the Dragon Roar Sword tightly and walked towards the center of the hall step by step.
As long as we get this magic stone, we will have the first guarantee to rescue Ajiu.
Just as he was about to step into the area covered by the star chessboard, an old voice sounded in the hall without warning.
"After a hundred years, someone can finally walk here again."
Everyone was startled and immediately formed a defensive formation, looking around vigilantly.
"Who are you? Come out." Captain Longying shouted sternly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the light and shadow above the star chessboard intertwined and slowly condensed into the shadow of an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a long robe, who looked somewhat transparent.
"Do not be nervous."
The old man's shadowy gaze swept across everyone, finally landing on Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi.
"I am Ji Lao, the last guardian spirit of the Shen Ji Pavilion."
"Guardian spirit?" Chu Xuanyi frowned and said with a bow, "Senior, we have no intention of offending the Divine Machine Pavilion. We are only here to ask for the Divine Stone. I hope you can help us."
"The Heart of Buzhou Mountain is the most precious treasure of the Shenji Pavilion, and it is also the core that maintains the operation of this cave." Master Ji said slowly, "How can you take it away just like that?"
Xiao Yu's eyes turned cold.
"You want to stop me?"
"Haha," Old Ji laughed and shook his head. "I am just a guardian spirit transformed from a remnant soul. I no longer have the power to act. The meaning of my existence is only to initiate the final test of the Shen Ji Pavilion."
He extended an illusory finger and pointed at the astrological chessboard below.
"This is the 'Tianyuan Chess Game'."
"If you want to take the sacred stone, you must pass this test."
Chu Xuanyi took a step forward and carefully observed the complicated chess game, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
The structure of this chess game was unprecedented and completely beyond his understanding of chess skills and formations.
"Excuse me, Senior, how do I pass this chess game?" he asked humbly.
“It’s very simple.”
"The chess game simulates a protracted war. As the chess players, you simply need to lead your side to victory in the end."
It doesn't sound complicated.
But the test of Shenji Pavilion can never be so simple.
