Chapter 555: Chapter 412: The Champion Marquis Makes a Move! Xu Gu Makes a Move!
“I’m afraid it’s already too late.”
Champion Marquis furrowed his brows slightly, looking eastward—he had received news that the war in Yuhuang City had erupted.
“Since Xu Gu said he has his own discretion, he won’t leave easily.”
“And he can’t be taken away.”
“Nearby Human Kings have rushed to support.”
“The situation is not particularly bleak; as long as Yuhuang City can hold on for fifteen minutes, that will suffice.”
The Eternal Sword Saint spoke after a moment of silence.
The brows of other Human Kings tightened, but they soon relaxed.
Holding on for fifteen minutes wasn’t too difficult.
Of course, it wasn’t easy either.
But what in the world ever came easy? Since Xu Gu held the hope of becoming the second Yang God, even surpassing the Yang God, this trial was one he should endure.
Xu Gu had already begun to gain momentum, and it was no longer necessary to treat him as a child.
“Within the Mechanical Sea, the different races are also at odds and not united. Keep a close eye on the Dark Dragon King and Witch Queen—they are the Commanders of the Demon King’s army. As long as we restrain these two, the other Demon Kings won’t be too eager to show off.”
The Eternal Sword Saint said.
“That’s doable.” Champion Marquis’s eyes glinted briefly, his aura soaring skyward as he said, “I will go slay the Dark Dragon King.
“You cover me.”
Hearing this, the Eternal Sword Saint’s vision darkened once again.
What Champion Marquis said was indeed a solution.
If they could just slay their Commanders, the rest of the Demon Kings would naturally flee without a fight, and this crisis could be easily resolved.
The future situation of the Human Clan would also be eased considerably.
But, were the Dark Dragon King or Witch Queen that easy to kill?
Not just him, the other Human Kings also felt a headache coming on.
“Utter chaos!”
“All hotheads, adding to the chaos!”
The Human Kings were on the verge of cursing aloud!
Their temperaments were almost thrown off.
As long as Xu Gu ran away, sacrificing one or two cities would not be disastrous for the future of the Human Clan!
If Champion Marquis could just hold back, he could continue the standoff with the commanders of the Mechanical Sea, buying enough time for Xu Gu to grow stronger.
However, Xu Gu did not want to flee, and Champion Marquis was even more determined to kill the Dark Dragon King!
Not a single one was considerate!
They wanted to stop Champion Marquis, but found he had already charged out and was calling out the enemy.
“Dark Dragon old fart, come out and meet your death!”
“What? Champion Marquis?! Are you seeking death?!”
The Dark Dragon King was initially stunned, but then his voice came furious, enveloping the entire Middle Layer Space, altering heaven and earth, the stars themselves trembling. The pressure was immense.
The other Demon Kings were also taken aback; they only wanted a stalemate, not actual war. After all, war meant death. They had only recently become Demon Kings. Naturally, they cherished their lives.
But seeing the Human Kings attack one after another, they immediately grew enraged.
“How dare you! We haven’t laid a finger on you, yet you dare to counterattack?”
They had a high opinion of themselves and didn’t consider the Human Kings worth noticing.
In their bandit logic, they thought that since they hadn’t attacked the Human Clan, the Human Clan should be grateful to them.
Now that the Human Kings had brought the fight to their doorstep, they were instantly enraged and chose to take a strong stance.
The atmosphere on the battlefield turned icy.
The terrifying pressure caused the entire Divine Domain Continent to tremble.
A great battle was on the brink of erupting.
…
Inside Yuhuang City.
Xu Gu stood atop the walls, and looking out, he saw a statue standing thousands of meters tall.
Surrounded by a dense mass of shadows, dragging along toward Yuhuang City.
Every one of these shadows was a powerful Mechanical Monster.
“It’s the Demon Kings from the Dark Dragon Clan!”
“These are all the Dark Dragon Demon Kings’ Clan members, various inferior dragons or Dragon Lizards.”
Long Shi walked up to Xu Gu and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.
Xu Gu glanced at Long Shi, not too surprised.
The woman before him, since she could serve as the Commander in Yuhuang City, naturally there was no worry of her betrayal, it was just that their mutual interests had not been clearly sorted out before.
She was coaxed by the elders in the city into wanting to drive him away.
Once the interests were clarified, she naturally knew what to do.
Thump thump thump!
Long Shi had just finished speaking.
A great commotion came from the distance.
A colossal mountain of bones was bearing down on Yuhuang City, carrying with it the chilling breath of death and the Undead.
The mountain was covered with countless Mechanical skeleton monsters.
Long Shi’s complexion was already somewhat pale: “The Demon King of the Undead Clan. A thousand zhang bone mountain, this is a style only an Intermediate skeleton king would have.”
“Boom!”
Another loud noise.
Countless shadows appeared in the sky, like dark clouds pressing down, darkening the entire sky.
Numerous fleets hovered in the air, the Energy Cannons were charging, aiming at Yuhuang City.
“The Witch Fleet! The Demon King of the Witch Clan has also arrived!”
Long Shi’s legs were already trembling, her Power Core nearly stopping, her body turning cold.
It wasn’t just her, the other warriors were also frightened, trembling, and could barely hold onto their weapons.
The enemy’s pressure was too strong!
They thought they had a fighting chance.
But now it seemed that under such a vast Mechanical Sea army, Yuhuang City would be obliterated in an instant.
Forget fifteen minutes, they couldn’t last even fifteen seconds.
“One Upper Demon King, two Intermediate Demon Kings, four Lower Demon Kings. Their Clans are innumerable.”
The soldier in charge of intelligence ran over in panic, after learning this information, the morale had already plummeted.
The enemy was too strong!
There was no way to respond!
They were doomed to lose this battle!
Because, whether it was their Commander Long Shi, or Xu Gu, they were both only Lower Human Kings, even at their strongest, they were only at the Combat Power of an Intermediate King!
“Everyone get ready for battle.” Xu Gu spoke indifferently, glancing at the soldiers inside the city, said flatly.
His words seemed to have a special Magic Power.
The atmosphere on the field eased considerably.
But the mood was still very oppressive.
The air was filled with despair.
“You go first, Yuhuang City will cover your retreat!” Long Shi took a deep breath, her face solemn, holding her long sword, and spoke with tragic valor.
She had already prepared herself for Yuhuang City to be destroyed, to let Xu Gu, the hope of the Human Clan, escape.
But she was stopped by Xu Gu waving his hand.
“I just told you to get ready for battle, not to fight. Next, just watch me perform,” said Xu Gu lightly.
Long Shi hadn’t reacted yet.
Boom!
“Xu Gu! If you don’t want to drag down the soldiers in the city, come out and die now!”
In the midst of the Dark Dragon Clan army, a Demon King adorned in a black cloak, with two dragon horns atop his head, and a very profound and oppressive aura, stepped through the Void, overlooking the entire Yuhuang City.
The unique aura of an Upper King, overwhelming and rampaging.
All beings within thousands of miles were directly shaken to death by this momentum, their bodies exploded, and blood splattered.
“Clang!”
However, before his words could land, a sword light that seemed to pierce the entire galaxy came crashing down.
Irresistible, where it passed, heaven and earth were rent apart, time and space thrown into chaos.
“What!?”
The Demon King of the Dark Dragon Clan, known as the evil incarnate, pupils shrank sharply, never expecting that an attack would dare to strike him directly, hurriedly trying to dodge, but it was too late because of his previous overconfidence.
Boom!
The hastily erected Light Energy Shield shattered directly.
Then, his entire body shot out like a cannonball, and heavily crashed onto a divine peak in the distance.
Blood stained the sky red.
