Chapter 202 Brother Xiongxiong, cut down the pillar!
"Brothers."
"exist."
The remaining dozen or so Black Armor Guards responded in unison.
"What is the mission of the Xuanjia Guard?"
"Protect the prince, defend the Great Zhou."
"Today, we are willing to use our broken bodies as steps and our flesh and blood as guide."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
"kill--!"
The roar of the word "kill" shook the earth and made people's hearts and livers break!
The remaining dozen or so Black Armor Guards made the same move at the same time.
They gave up all defenses and poured all their remaining internal energy into the weapons in their hands without reservation.
"Crazy, these guys are crazy."
Prince Yu, who was outside the thick fog, was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then he burst into crazy laughter.
"Hahaha, fine, fine. This king loves to see you go crazy in despair."
"Everyone, be alert! Whoever can chop off Xiao Yu's head will be rewarded handsomely!"
Before he finished speaking, something strange happened!
"Blood sacrifice to Xuan Huang, Po Jun opens the way!"
Following Xuan Yi's roar, a dozen Xuanjia Guards transformed into a dozen golden streams of light and rushed towards the thickest black fog.
They actually wanted to use their own flesh and blood to self-destruct to force a path for Xiao Yu.
"not good."
The Wugut tribe elder's expression suddenly changed.
He wanted to stop it but it was too late.
boom--!
More than a dozen golden lights slammed into the thick fog.
A teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound was heard.
The black fog was actually torn open into a passage several meters long!
At the end of the passage was the elder of the Wugut tribe sitting cross-legged!
“Now!”
Xiao Yu's figure turned into a flash of lightning and rushed towards the clan elder quickly.
"How dare you, boy."
The clan elder was both shocked and angry. The formation beneath him had been activated to its extreme, and was connected to the aura of the entire temple, making it impossible to move at all.
He could only watch as the sword light grew bigger and bigger.
"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor quickly."
Prince Yu, who was standing by, was so frightened that he tumbled back, crawling away.
Several of his personal guards immediately rushed forward.
"Whoever stands in my way will die!"
The sword flashed.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The bodies of the three guards were instantly cut into several pieces, and blood was spilled on the spot.
Xiao Yu appeared in front of the clan elder without any hesitation.
"Old man, be buried with my brothers."
Cut down with one sword.
A head shot up into the sky.
Blood gushed out from his broken neck, spilling all over the black altar.
Buzz——!
With the death of the clan elder, the dark energy of the entire temple instantly lost control and began to riot wildly.
The thick fog that had just been torn apart rolled back in an instant.
The demonic sound that enveloped the entire venue also came to an abrupt end.
Xiao Yu staggered and fell to one knee.
The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
He was breathing heavily, his face was as white as a piece of paper, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
That earth-shattering sword strike just now almost exhausted all his strength.
What was even more deadly was that with the death of the clan elder, the formation went out of control, and the "Heart of the Underworld" suspended in the air began to beat wildly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every beat released a tsunami-like dark death energy, sweeping madly in all directions!
"Not good, the Nether Heart is about to lose control."
“Hahahaha…hahahaha!”
Prince Yu, who had escaped death, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into a crazy laughter.
"Xiao Yu, my dear cousin, I never thought you would actually do it."
"You killed my most important chess piece, but look what you got?"
He pointed at the madly beating black heart, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.
"You opened the gates of hell with your own hands."
"My god's power is about to get completely out of control! Soon, the entire mine, the entire western suburbs, and even the entire capital will be swallowed by this endless netherworld death energy. Everyone will become the walking corpse."
"And you, Xiao Yu, you are the culprit behind all this. Hahahaha..."
"You...you lunatic."
Xiao Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"Your Majesty, let's leave quickly. We must leave here before the Nether Heart erupts completely."
Yun Shen rushed to Xiao Yu and wanted to help him up, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up at this moment.
"Walk……?"
Xiao Yu raised his head and a bitter smile appeared on his pale face.
"I can't leave..."
He looked through the turbulent air currents towards the only exit.
The place was completely blocked by collapsed rocks and dozens of Wugut warriors who had gathered around it.
"Hey hey hey...want to leave?"
Prince Yu walked towards him step by step with a grim smile.
"Cousin, stop struggling."
Prince Yu walked up to Xiao Yu and looked down at him, his eyes as if he was looking at an ant waiting to be slaughtered.
"Originally, I wanted you to live a little longer, so you could watch me rule the world with your own eyes."
"But now I've changed my mind."
"Killing you and using your blood to appease the wrath of my God in advance seems to be a good option!"
He slowly raised the scimitar in his hand.
"Goodbye, my dear cousin."
Xiao Yu slowly closed his eyes. He no longer had the strength to even lift a finger.
Ah Jiu...
Boom——
A loud crash came from the rock formation above them.
The entire underground temple shook violently.
"Well, what happened? An earthquake?"
Prince Yu paused, and looked up in surprise and doubt, only to see that a crack had actually appeared on the indestructible dome of the temple at some point!
A golden light shone through the gap.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Prince Yu took two steps back as if he had seen a ghost.
"This place is a hundred feet underground, and above it is black fire rock that is harder than steel. Not to mention humans, even gods can't drill a hole through it."
"It's Miss Jiu, it's the Imperial Master."
"Your Highness, we are saved. It was the Imperial Master and his men who found us."
Xiao Yu didn't say anything.
His body was still extremely weak. He raised his head and stared blankly at the golden light.
[Your Majesty, listen to me.]
It’s Xuan Yi’s voice!
His voice sounded unusually weak.
Ah Jiu saw the energy flowing through this temple through synaesthesia. We have all been deceived. That suspended 'Heart of the Underworld' is just a cover, an energy amplifier to attract everyone's attention.
The real core is the stone pillar supporting the dome. That most inconspicuous black stone pillar without any pattern.
All the netherworld energy is drawn up from the depths of the earth through it, then amplified and diffused through the 'heart' on the altar. It is the core of the formation, the 'heart' of the entire temple.
[Cut it off. Only by cutting it off can we break the energy cycle and completely destroy this place.]
【This is our only chance...! 】
That stone pillar.
Xiao Yu's gaze suddenly turned to the inconspicuous black stone pillar in the center of the temple.
The stone pillar was pitch black, with a rough surface and no carvings or decorations. Compared with the other pillars in the temple that were covered with strange reliefs, it was extremely ordinary.
So much so that he hadn't even glanced at it since he entered the temple.
But now I think about it, this itself is the biggest abnormality.
I see……
I see!
These crazy people from the Wugut tribe actually used such a clever trick.
Xiao Yu slowly stood up from the ground.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the figure not far away, who was covered in blood but still struggling and refusing to fall.
That was the only Black Armor Guard still standing.
Captain of the Black Armor Guard, Xuan Yi.
There was a huge penetrating wound on his chest, and blood had already stained his armor. His life was extremely weak.
But he still protected Yun Shen.
"Xuan Yi."
Xuan Yi raised his head with difficulty and looked at the prince. He pulled the corners of his mouth to smile, but it only made his face covered in blood.
"Your Majesty...I am incompetent..."
"You did a great job." Xiao Yu interrupted him.
"Now, I have one final order."
"Your Majesty... please speak!"
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said word by word:
"Spar any cost, buy me three breaths of time!"
Xuan Yi followed the prince's gaze and saw the black stone pillar, and instantly understood what the prince meant.
He let out an earth-shaking roar and pounced towards the few Wugut warriors closest to him!
"Xuanjia Guards, fight to the death."
