Chapter 114: The trapped beast still fights, bloody hands knock on the door
"I see."
Chu Xuanyi hugged the weak girl tightly in his arms, feeling her steady but weak breathing, and his heart finally settled down a little.
He raised his head, and in his eyes, which were looking at the clan elder not far away, there was only cold murderous intent.
"You, deserve to die."
However, he didn't have time to do anything.
Boom!!!
Another loud bang!
The entrance to the secret room disguised as a dry well was finally completely shattered by the violent force outside!
Huge rocks mixed with soil poured down, and a sharp and domineering figure jumped down from the broken cave entrance against the light and landed steadily in the cave.
The man who came was wearing a black tight-fitting suit, his figure was as straight as a spear, and he exuded a murderous aura of iron and blood on the battlefield. It was Xiao Yu!
"Ajiu! Xuanyi!"
Xiao Yu saw the scene at a glance - Chu Xuanyi was holding the unconscious Ajiu, both of them were covered in blood, and a half-dead old man in a black robe was lying not far away. The entire cave was in a mess.
A surge of rage instantly rushed to his head!
"How are you guys?!"
He rushed over and felt a little relieved when he saw that Jiu had just fainted and was not in danger of his life.
Immediately afterwards, Censor Qian and several black-armored guards also filed in from the cave entrance. When they saw the entire picture of the underground cave, especially the huge blood-colored magic circle on the ground that had not yet completely dissipated, they all gasped.
"What...what exactly is this place?! There's such a strong evil aura!" Censor Qian said in horror.
"Old man! You hurt them?!"
Xiao Yu's gaze was like that of a man-eating beast, fixed on the elder who was struggling to get up.
"Cough... cough cough..." The elder coughed up blood and looked at Xiao Yu who suddenly broke in. A trace of despair flashed in his eyes, but then turned into a crazy grin, "It's... it's me, so what? Prince Yu... you're too late... Even if you kill me, it's already... too late..."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Chu Xuanyi slowly stood up while holding Ajiu in his arms. He explained in a cold voice, "He wants to use Ajiu's blood, which carries special luck, as a key to unlock the object behind that door."
Everyone's eyes were simultaneously directed to the deepest part of the cave, to the huge, tightly closed stone door carved with countless reliefs of ghosts and gods.
"What's behind the door?" Xiao Yu asked in a deep voice.
"If I'm not mistaken," Chu Xuanyi's eyes became extremely solemn, "it should be the sacred object in the legend of the Wugu tribe - the Heart of the Netherworld."
"The Heart of the Netherworld?!" Censor Qian exclaimed in shock. "It's rumored that it's a supremely evil object nurtured by the resentment and blood and sweat of an entire nation! With it, one can command the underworld and drive back the ghosts! This thing... how could this thing be hidden beneath Prince Yu's mansion?!"
"Because," Chu Xuanyi said word by word, "Prince Yu wants to use this item to ascend to the throne."
Just as he finished speaking, the huge silent stone door suddenly made a dull "bang" sound without any warning!
Everyone's face changed drastically!
Upon seeing this, the elders shouted in ecstasy, "Hahaha! Although the guidance of the Holy Blood has been interrupted, the resonance just now is enough to awaken a trace of consciousness in our Lord! It's done! Our great cause is accomplished! Chu Xuanyi! Xiao Yu! You will accompany the entire capital and offer sacrifices together for our Lord's arrival!"
"court death!"
Xiao Yu roared angrily, and suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist. The sword made a dragon roar and went straight for the head of the clan elder!
Just at the thousandth moment when the blade was about to touch his neck!
Boom! !
The huge stone door suddenly let out a second heartbeat!
"not good!"
Chu Xuanyi's face changed drastically. Without thinking, he hugged the unconscious Ajiu tighter in his arms. At the same time, he mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, turning it into an extremely solid golden shield, protecting himself and Ajiu firmly!
Tsk—tsk—tsk—!
A black mist as thick as ink, visible to the naked eye, suddenly gushed out from the gap in the huge stone gate!
This fog is not ordinary smoke. It carries with it an extreme coldness and deathly silence that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, as if the filth from the deepest part of the Nine Nether Hell has been extradited to the human world!
Wherever the fog passed, a strange layer of black frost condensed on the hard rock ground, and the air was filled with a foul stench mixed with rotting flesh and ancient tombs, which made people want to vomit!
"ah!"
"What is this?!"
"My hands! They're so cold!"
The few Black Armor Guards who rushed in after Xiao Yu were simply swept by the edge of the black mist and screamed in pain! Their armor, made of fine steel, was corroded and rusted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their exposed skin instantly turned blue and black, as if all life had been lost!
"Back off! Everyone back off!"
Xiao Yu's pupils shrank sharply. As a martial arts master, he could clearly feel that the black fog contained a terrifying power that could directly annihilate vitality and blood!
This is no longer something that ordinary martial arts can resist!
His originally unstoppable and deadly sword had to be forcibly turned in mid-air, and the sword's force changed from chopping to sweeping, stirring up a fierce gust of wind, trying to blow away the black fog that was blowing in his face, buying a glimmer of hope for his men!
And it is this moment of delay that leads to this fatal turning point!
"Hahaha! It's too late! It's too late for you all!"
"My Lord has awakened! The underworld is about to descend! You... will all become sacrifices of the new era! Hahahaha!"
Before he finished laughing, the stone wall behind him suddenly "clicked" and a secret door slid open silently!
A slender and elegant figure flashed out from the passage behind the secret door!
The man who came had a handsome face, wore a royal robe with four-clawed dragon claws, and had a stern expression. He was Prince Yu, Xiao Jing, who was supposed to host a banquet in the main hall of the palace!
"Cousin, and the Imperial Master, are you all well?"
"Xiao Jing! You are here!" Xiao Yu pointed the long knife in his hand at Xiao Jing. "How dare you collude with evil spirits and hide such filth! Do you know your crime?!"
"Admit your guilt?" Prince Yu chuckled as if he had heard something funny. He picked up the half-dead elder from the ground and placed him on his shoulders. "It's just a matter of success or failure. Cousin, my great cause is not yet complete. I will not accompany you today."
"Want to leave?!"
Chu Xuanyi held Ah Jiu in his arms and slowly stood up. "I am here, neither of you can leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a hand gesture and was about to summon the thunder from the sky!
"Yeah?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Prince Yu's eyes. Without hesitation, he took out a pitch-black jade talisman from his arms and crushed it!
"burst!"
Buzz——!
An energy wave that was purer and more evil than the black fog exploded from the shattered jade talisman!
This energy did not attack anyone, but acted like a catalyst, instantly detonating the Netherworld Energy that was constantly leaking throughout the cave!
Boom!!!
The black fog in the entire cave instantly boiled and rolled, transforming into a black tide that covered the sky and the sun, rushing towards Chu Xuanyi, Xiao Yu and others! This force was so strong that even Chu Xuanyi's golden shield made a "crackling" sound as it was overwhelmed!
Taking advantage of the explosion, Prince Yu carried the elder of the clan and retreated into the deep secret passage without looking back.
