Chapter 248 The Battle of Emperors and the Crazy Zu Guangyao

Chapter 248 The Battle of Emperors and the Crazy Zu Guangyao
Above the clouds, the ancient king looked at the angel who suddenly appeared.

There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two, and almost at the same time, the black king and the golden angel disappeared.

When it appeared again, all that could be seen was the turbulent clouds thousands of miles in the sky.

The emperor's power is destructive, and this city cannot withstand their ravages.

Obviously, none of them wanted to destroy the city.

In the thick clouds, bloody whirlpools kept forming and dissipating.

Countless colorful lights collide and dissipate.

Even in broad daylight, the brilliant colors like fireworks are still extremely eye-catching.

The magical elements in the air are abnormally active.

Just how much magic is intertwined and how much energy is sweeping around is completely confusing.

I saw countless spaces in the sky breaking and then merging.

There are numerous cracks that can obliterate time and space, scattered across the sky, appearing and disappearing like fish scales.

Occasionally, a large army of undead that was swept up by the riot of elemental power would be torn into pieces before they could get close to the vortex of chaos.

From time to time, deafening sonic booms were heard, and the shock waves from the sound alone made the entire ancient capital tremble.

The eight deceased kings had already gone far away.

This is a battle between emperors. Even a monarch-level strongman would be reduced to dust in an instant if affected.

This was the first time Xu Shen witnessed a battle between emperors.

Even though it wasn't quite real, he was fascinated by the power that could change the world with just a gesture and was strong enough to make the world tremble.

He had never imagined that a human being could be so powerful.

It turns out that the records of moving mountains and seas, chasing stars and catching the moon in ancient books are not false...

The battle lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Finally, the blood that was falling like rain stopped temporarily.

The chaotic vortex dissipated, and two figures gradually became clear.

The ancient king was hidden in black armor and it was impossible to tell what his condition was.

The angel Raguel, on the other hand, had a pale face, disordered breathing, blood stains at the corners of his mouth, and three of the angel wings behind him were torn off.

"Your angel soul doesn't seem to recognize you?"

The ancient king's voice was powerful and calm, without a trace of the arrogance of a winner.

Raguel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Come again."

In just two words, there was not a trace of the dejection of a loser.

The two people fighting were emotionally stable, but that doesn’t mean the people in the ancient capital can be emotionally stable.

The result that the angels of the holy city were inferior to the ancient king was beyond the expectations of the people of the ancient capital.

Han Ji and others were worried.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time before the angels were completely defeated.

Zu Guangyao stared at the vortex that appeared again in the sky, his eyes flickering.

"What should I do now?"

Li Yujian couldn't help but ask.

"There is a way, there is still hope!"

At this moment, Zu Nanxing appeared in the conference room with Xu Shen and Ding Yumian.

Because Zu Nanxing had a pass given by Zu Guangyao, they had a smooth journey.

"It's you?"

Lu Xu was about to introduce him to everyone, but Xu Shen waved his hand to stop him.

"We are the three men in black robes. Time is running out, so I'll make it short."

Xu Shen suppressed his anger and pointed at Zu Guangyao, saying, "He is lying. The water of Kunjing in Hua Village is in his hands. With this water, it is enough to put all the undead in the city to sleep for half a day. Half a day is enough to ask for help from the Forbidden Spell Society."

"What?!" Han Ji and others were shocked and angry.

"Really? Are you really lying to us?"

The mysterious gray-white man looked at Zu Guangyao in disbelief.

At this point, Zu Guangyao nodded and admitted it calmly.

At this moment, everyone present was shocked.

Li Yujian asked angrily, "Why? You could have stopped the Undead from slaughtering the city. Why did you do this?"

"why?"

Zu Guangyao sneered a few times, with a fire of madness burning in his eyes.

"The revival of the Ancient King requires a huge amount of dead energy. Ancient City killed so many people, how can he revive? If I can accomplish the goal in one battle, it doesn't matter if Ancient City suffers. I will bear the blame!"

Xu Shen looked at Zu Guangyao and vaguely saw the city of Bo several years ago.

Obviously, there is a better way.

This person has always been so extreme.

The hundreds of thousands of people in Bo City are nothing. The tens of millions of people in the ancient capital are still nothing in his eyes!

No wonder, no wonder he didn't give Ding Yumian a chance to speak, and put her into a deep sleep after she pointed out Saran.

There are obviously ways to make less sacrifice.

Why, why must so many lives be sacrificed?

Fate, why does it always play tricks on him, making him pin his hopes on a madman? !

Zhu Meng asked angrily: "But what about now? The Holy City Angels are no match for the Ancient King. Have you ever thought about this outcome?"

"I have naturally thought about this result."

Zu Guangyao took out the water from Kunjing and looked at Xu Shen and said:
"The ancient king has awakened. It is no longer possible to rely on it to keep these undead spirits asleep for half a day. However, its protection is enough for you to break into the Abyss."

"Xu Shen, do you dare to take a gamble for the ancient capital?"

Xu Shen's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"

Zu Guangyao clapped his hands, and suddenly dozens of people came out.

They were actually the villagers of Yangyang Village.

"I said that only the descendants of Weiju Village can seal the Ancient King before he wakes up. Now that the Ancient King has awakened, it is impossible for the power of the seal to make him sleep again, but at least it can greatly reduce his strength. In this way, His Excellency the Archangel will have a chance to defeat the Ancient King."

Xu Shen asked: "You want me to escort them to open the seal of the Ancient King?"

Zu Guangyao nodded approvingly and said:
"The ancient king's mausoleum is in Shayuan. Although Shayuan allows villagers from Weiju Village to enter, his mausoleum is not accessible to just anyone."

Xu Shen frowned: "Why must it be me?"

"There are many tests in the Shayuan. These villagers are just a bunch of rotten wood. It is a foolish dream to expect them to break into the ancient king's mausoleum. Therefore, you are the only one who can do it."

Xu Shen chuckled.

Everyone knows that Shayuan is a dangerous place where there is no return.

He is not a person living in a dangerous village. If he doesn't want to live, where will he go?
Having lived two lives, how could he be PUAed by just four words "I can only live with you".

He responded with, "Why isn't it 'I must have you'?"

Zu Guangyao said: "The test of the evil abyss varies from person to person. The stronger the person who enters, the more difficult the test he faces. We also have to deal with Saran and the awakened undead monarch. Jumping into the evil abyss is not the best choice for us."

Zu Guangyao is very frank.

Xu Shen frowned and turned his gaze to his side: "Yu Mian?"

"He didn't lie."

Several people at the meeting looked at Xu Shen with complicated expressions.

The meeting room was silent.

“Yumian…” Xu Shen clenched his fist and then unclenched it.

Ding Yumian said softly: "It's okay, no matter what choice you make, I will accompany you."

Above the clouds, in the vortex of chaos, various elements are fighting fiercely.

Under the cloudy sky, the dead rained down like rain, blood, fear, wailing, screaming...

This is hell on earth.

The conflict between cowardice and responsibility.

His instinct to seek profit and avoid harm and his mission to fulfill his responsibility for the common people made him struggle and hesitate.

for a long time.

Maybe it’s the eyes of the children outside the window that are longing for life.

Perhaps it was the memory of the military magician solemnly handing over his parents' medal of honor to him when he was a child that came to his mind.

In short, Xu Shen raised his head and gradually straightened his back.

He exhaled lightly and said firmly: "I will jump."

"I also……"

Before Yu Mian could finish her words, she was stopped by Xu Shen.

"Just wait for me."

"I do not."

Ding Yumian is unusually stubborn.

"Zu Guangyao," Xu Shen asked, "Where is your magic that makes people fall asleep?"

"Let her go too," Zu Guangyao said, "I think if both of you go, your chances of survival will be greater."

"you!"

Xu Shen was about to get angry, but was stopped by Ding Yumian.

Those determined eyes made him unable to say no.
