Chapter 138: Ten thousand pounds hit the ghost gate, a hundred arrows corrode the iron armor
"I... I'm not afraid of death." Jiu raised his head, his golden eyes filled with tears, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall. "I'm afraid... I'm afraid that you, Brother Xiongxiong, will die... That big bad guy behind the door is ten thousand times worse than all the bad guys we've encountered before! I can hear him crying and laughing at the same time. He's so hungry, he wants to eat all of us!"
Xiao Yu's heart sank suddenly.
"Ajiu, listen to me." He looked into her eyes, his expression extremely serious. "In this battle, any of us could die, including you and me. But if we don't fight, then the people in this city behind us will surely die. We are their...last line of defense."
"Later, you will follow me and stand at the highest point. Use your eyes to see everything in that palace clearly. Tell us where the traps are, where the key points of the formation are, and where the villains are the most powerful."
"You are not a burden, Ah Jiu." Xiao Yu stretched out his fingers and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "You are the eyes of all of us. You are the key to determining the outcome of this war."
Ajiu looked at Xiao Yu's phoenix eyes that reflected his own small figure, and listened to his extremely solemn words. The fear in his heart seemed to be dispelled by a warm force.
She nodded emphatically and sniffed.
"Yes! Jiu knows! Jiu will see clearly! Jiu will protect Xiong Xiong brother!"
Xiao Yu looked at her pretending to be strong, and a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it came from the heart.
He rubbed her head, then turned and faced the Prince Yu's Mansion, which was dormant like a giant beast.
He raised the long sword in his hand high.
In the dim light of the sky, the blade reflected a cold light, pointing directly at the center of the demon's nest!
"The whole army—"
"Listen!"
"kill--!!!"
Thousands of elite imperial guards and black-armored guards formed the sharpest spearhead, transformed into a torrent of steel, and launched a desperate charge towards the dark main gate of Prince Yu's Mansion that had been corroded by demonic energy!
“Boom——!”
A huge battering ram made of black iron and weighing ten thousand pounds, pushed by dozens of black-armored guards, slammed heavily into the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion!
The door just made a dull loud noise, and the black magic pattern flashed, but it didn't move at all!
“Come again!”
The Black Armor Guards let out an earth-shaking roar and retreated again, preparing for a second attack.
However, at this moment, something strange happened!
“Hehehe…”
A strange, teeth-grinding laugh sounded from the top of the wall.
The next second, hundreds of soldiers dressed in Prince Yu's uniforms, their eyes ablaze with green will-o'-the-wisp fire, appeared behind the parapet like zombies. They held powerful bows in their hands, their arrows swirling with ominous black air currents.
"Shoot!"
Following a hoarse command, a black rain of arrows filled the sky, like a dark cloud covering the sky, pouring down towards the coalition forces below!
"Raise your shield! Protect yourself with your true Qi!"
The commander of the imperial guards roared at the top of his lungs.
The soldiers immediately raised the heavy tower shields in their hands, and those with advanced martial arts skills pushed their body-protecting true qi to the extreme!
“Ding-dang-dang—!”
Countless arrows were deflected, but those black arrows, swirled with the aura of the underworld, were extremely corrosive. Black smoke immediately rose from the places where the shields were struck, emitting a sizzling sound. Even the protective Qi could be corroded and weakened by it!
"ah--!"
Soldiers kept falling to the ground after being shot by arrows. Black blood immediately flowed out of the wounds. They twitched in pain and soon became silent.
"Charge in! Engage them in close combat!" Xiao Yu's order was cold and clear.
"The prince has ordered! Charge in!"
At the same time, the martial arts masters and the sorcerers of the observatory, led by the old owner of Ouye Manor and Taoist Qinghe, chose to advance from the flank.
"Everyone! Follow me!" The old owner of the manor let out a long roar, stepped on the ground suddenly, and leaped up several feet high like a big bird. The long sword in his hand swung out a sword net all over the sky, directly cutting a row of Ghost Fire Palace soldiers on the wall in half!
The disciples of Ouye Villa and various heroes behind him also used their martial arts skills to climb up the high wall and fight with the controlled palace soldiers.
"Tianshu, Tianxuan, set up the Yin-Yang formation and break the evil restriction on the west wall!" Taoist Qinghe flicked his whisk and directed the sorcerers in the observatory to start breaking the formation from another direction.
For a moment, the entire periphery of Prince Yu's Mansion was filled with shouts of killing, the clashing of weapons, and the roar of spells. Blood and flames were intertwined, and the battle entered its most brutal and intense stage from the very beginning.
At the edge of this chaotic battlefield, a fat figure was hiding behind an abandoned carriage, peeking out and trembling with fear.
It was Censor Qian from the Censorate.
He was about to be turned away by Xiao Yu, but then he thought about how great a feat it would be to "catch ghosts and pacify monsters." If he missed the opportunity, wouldn't he regret it forever? So he sneaked up on them again, thinking that if he could blend in with the crowd, he would be included in the final report of his achievements.
But he never expected that this "ghost hunting" scene would be a hundred times more terrifying than a battle between two armies!
"Oh my god...what...what kind of monsters are these!" Looking at those fearless palace soldiers with green eyes and those walls that were impenetrable to swords and guns, Censor Qian was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"No, no, it's too dangerous out front! I have to find... find a safe place to get in! Yes, as long as I get in, I'll be considered a participant! I have to... I have to find another way!"
He rolled his eyes and saw a small, remote corner gate on the side of Prince Yu's mansion. It seemed that there was no one guarding it. He was delighted and immediately picked up his official robe, crouched down, and slipped towards the small corner gate like a thief.
…
In the center of the battlefield, Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi did not participate in the battle on the periphery.
They have only one goal - the entrance to the underground secret room!
"Prince, follow me!" Chu Xuanyi's voice sounded in Xiao Yu's ears, and the compass in his hand spun rapidly, guiding the direction.
A commando team composed of the most elite Xuanjia Guards guarded Xiao Yu, Chu Xuanyi and Ajiu. Like the sharpest knife, they ignored the surrounding melee and went straight into the heart of Prince Yu's Mansion.
"Brother Xiongxiong! On the left! That stone lion will bite!"
Ajiu sat in Xiao Yu's arms. Although his little face was pale with nervousness, his golden eyes were wide open and staring straight ahead.
As soon as she finished speaking, a stone lion that was originally a decoration in the courtyard on the left suddenly made a "click" sound, opened its bloody mouth, and bit towards the flank of the team!
"snort!"
Xiao Yu didn't even look at it, and slashed with his sword!
The black and gold blade energy flashed by, and the hard stone lion, along with the evil magic core hidden inside it, was instantly chopped into pieces!
