Sensing something strange around him, Chu Tianxiao didn't hesitate and rushed in. Then he saw an old bronze door with a pair of ferocious demon horns carved on it and a huge demon pattern...
Hearing the urgent sound of pursuit, Chu Tianxiao didn't care about that much, and immediately hit the door with a Star Shock. With a bang, the bronze door pushed inward. Although it was open, it was not damaged at all! Chu Tianxiao's eyes rolled, and he jumped in. At the same time, he slammed the bronze door back with his backhand. He sensed everything around, and then quickly drew his sword, picked up all the objects here, and smashed them beside the door!
Then I heard a loud banging outside, and the door creaked, but it looked like the enemy wouldn’t be able to break in for a while…
"The power of the tenth level of Marrow Cleansing is enough to completely defeat the demons below the level of Demon General. With the power of Star Shock, we can break open this door... As for the group of miscellaneous soldiers outside, we don't need to worry too much..."
Chu Tianxiao thought of this, and with a stroke of the sword tip, a spark was ignited, illuminating the place...
After everything was clear, Chu Tianxiao quickly saw the original appearance of this place... It looked like a palace, with walls made of bronze everywhere, and a staircase at the forefront, which seemed to be the way to the upper level...
"I see... This Black Sky Blood Altar not only has an external structure, but the interior is also connected... I wonder how many floors we can reach?"
Chu Tianxiao thought so as he moved forward. However, at this moment, a fire spread everywhere and ignited the stone pillars here. The stairs suddenly caved inward, and then, iron doors fell from the sky, sealing off everywhere!
A roar sounded in the field, and then, a monster holding an iron hammer, covered in bronze armor, and with a long tail suddenly appeared behind the iron gate. A pair of scarlet eyes stared at Chu Tianxiao, and his face seemed to reveal a very anthropomorphic greedy expression...
Then, he pushed open the iron fence with both hands and stepped out!
…
…
At the same time, the situation in the Forbidden City was at a stalemate.
Although the demons’ surprise attack was fierce, and their tricks one after another were completely beyond everyone’s expectations, successfully causing Kyoto to fall into an unprecedented “weakness”, but don’t forget that Kyoto is ultimately the territory of the human race, and the Great Zhou Dynasty’s ability to become the overlord of the vast land of China is by no means a false reputation!
Under the leadership of the two great practitioners Chu Zhongtie and Feng Junhou, many powerful people scattered in Kyoto quickly gathered. As the East Array Hub and the South Array Hub fell one after another, they turned to the North Array Hub and fought a desperate battle with the demons... As more and more powerful human beings came, the demons could not get any advantage for a while...
Of course... If we really talk about it in detail, the demons still have the upper hand. The reason is simple. This time, the demons sent out two demon generals at once, plus Qin Hou who had already fallen into the devil. The other side has gathered three powerful men at the level of great practitioners, and none of them is easy to deal with!
On the other hand, the human race… apart from the independent cultivators outside the tribe, among the thirty-six divine marquises, only the top five divine marquises have entered the ranks of great cultivators, and the rest are mostly half-step great cultivators—because they are different from independent cultivators, they pursue higher goals and strive for perfection… Therefore, any divine marquis, once promoted to Lingyue, will become a leader among them. But the problem is that now, they have indeed not crossed that threshold!
So at this moment, the number one Purple Marquis was trapped in his ancestral land, and the number three Luo Marquis had been killed by the Qin Marquis and the two demon commanders. Although his last desperate effort also caused serious injuries to the three, in terms of the overall situation, his death was obviously more serious...
Of the five great divine marquises, one was trapped, one was dead, and one was rebellious. The other two, Yue Marquis and Hai Marquis, were all guarding important areas of the Great Zhou. It would be impossible for them to arrive tonight. Even if they set off early, it would be too late...
Fortunately, at this moment, Feng Junhou, who was ranked sixth, had made great progress and finally broke through to the Lingyue realm in time of crisis, becoming one of the great practitioners!
As a Divine Marquis, even though he had some conflicts with the Chu family for various reasons, at this critical moment, he still chose to join forces with Chu Zhongtie, who had already entered the Spiritual Joy Realm, to fight the foreign enemy together! This made the powerful men of the Great Zhou tonight not seem so weak in terms of high-end power...
However, even so, facing the oppression of the fallen demon Qin Hou and the two powerful demon commanders, they were under great pressure...
And... that's not even the worst...
"What on earth is going on with the formation?"
Even though the two formation hubs were taken away, the formation of the Forbidden City of the Great Zhou Dynasty was well-known in the vast land of China and was extremely mysterious. Even if only one formation hub was left in the hands of the human race and it was not far from the top of the Forbidden City, it could still exert a powerful effect... But now the formation is like a weak snake, powerless...
After repelling the demon's attack once again, Lord Feng looked at the three powerful shadows with a frown on his face.
Chu Zhongtie narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and said, "The formation is still working, there is no doubt about that... Otherwise, things would be even worse..."
After a pause, he looked towards a certain place in the Forbidden City and said leisurely: "… I heard that Prince Nanyang has entered the capital."
Hearing this, Feng Junhou's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he suddenly understood the meaning: "No edict?"
“… I think there is no edict.”
After saying this, a trace of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Feng Junhou's eyes: "So it was that guy... No wonder! No wonder! But after doing such a treasonous thing, isn't he afraid that Your Majesty will change his mind? Could it be... that he has also fallen into the devil?"
Chu Zhongtie shook his head: "It is possible, but not very likely... King Nanyang is hiding very deeply, and his plan must be big. The most likely scenario should be a tacit understanding, and... I'm afraid he knows what the demons are going to do this time!"
"He... probably wants to get a chance to be the winner..."
Hearing this, Lord Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Can the person who can reverse the formation and summon the style really compete with your majesty?"
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Even before the incident, Chu Tianxiao could have inferred a clue from the traces, let alone now? If the real strong men of the human race still cannot see the real goal of the demons, then they don't need to talk about resisting the demons, they can just wait to be killed.
Chu Zhongtie nodded slightly: "I'm afraid so..."
Whether it is Feng Junhou or Chu Zhongtie at this moment, they can be regarded as the real high-level officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After fighting the demons for so many years, they certainly know some secrets of the demons... For example, some legends in their heritage...
"Demon Realm?" When Feng Junhou said these two words, his voice trembled unconsciously. Although it was very light and almost negligible, Chu Zhongtie still heard it. He nodded and said, "The demons are almost desperate tonight. If it's not for 'summoning' the 'demons' there... I really can't think of anything else that is worth their huge price!"
Hearing this, Lord Feng took a deep breath and calmed down before saying, "Even if there are demons there, if they want to meet the two conditions of being able to rival Your Majesty and descend to the human world, I'm afraid there are only a few of them... Only those few."
After saying this, he asked anxiously, "When will Your Majesty be able to return?"
Chu Zhongtie looked up at the sky and was about to speak when suddenly a long voice came from a distance...
"Emperor Zhou won't be able to come back before dawn, and you... won't be able to hold out until then!"
After hearing this, both of them showed resentment: "Qin Chuyang?"
The newcomer was dressed in black, with red pupils. Although his face was not ferocious, he showed obvious signs of falling into evil. His temperament was completely different from that of the previous Great Zhou Divine Marquis...
This person is already a fallen demon, a fallen demon with no chance of turning back!
When they saw Qin Chuyang appear, Chu Zhongtie and Feng Junhou clenched their fists at the same time, and anger inevitably revealed in their eyes!
If it weren't for this guy, Luo Hou wouldn't have died, and the human race wouldn't have lost a veteran great cultivator like this! If it weren't for his betrayal, the situation might have been stable long ago, how could it be as precarious as it is now
