Chapter 334 The Boy in the Heart of the Abyss, Deeply Sinister
Night fell, and the stars dimmed.
The ground between the mountains was as bright as day, with heavy anti-military weapons as big as hills arranged in a matrix, and floating fortresses like inverted mountains were built in the air, with a large number of mechanical light cannons deployed on them.
The originally dilapidated ground was transformed into an extremely defensible and difficult-to-attack terrain under the control of various types of martial artists.
The time, place and people are favorable.
As time went by, they all arrived at the Great Xia side.
The defenders had lost their previous panic, replaced by confidence and determination.
"Report! The seventh super-large defensive array has been deployed."
"The tenth offensive and killing formation has been deployed."
"All energy crystals have been loaded!"
"..."
One by one, soldiers approached Bei Mingxue and reported on the current situation.
Bei Mingxue crossed her arms and nodded gently.
On a floating fortress in the distance.
Several martial arts soldiers looked around, their eyes filled with amazement, shock, and pride.
"Hiss... This kind of fortification is comparable to a strong border pass, isn't it? With so many high-level anti-military weapons and offensive formations, it feels like even a quasi-king-level lord monster would be instantly killed..."
"Of course, in the face of a real war, a quasi-king is not enough. Only a true king can determine the outcome and turn the tide of battle."
"You haven't seen the world? That's because you haven't been to the north yet. The fortress where the King of Zhenbei is located is the truly terrifying place where the forces of the Great Xia are gathered. In particular, once the 'Ten Directions Sword Annihilation Formation,' which was built with all the strength of the Great Xia, is activated, the attack rays that fill the sky are like thousands of sword lights falling from the sky. Even the Abyss King has to be wary of it."
"I saw money gushing out."
"After all, it's about defending the capital, so of course we have to go all out."
"Tsk tsk, you beasts of the abyss, come on, your grandpa's greatsword is itching for a fight."
Some people are itching to get started.
Some people looked puzzled: "Speaking of which... it's been over ten hours, why hasn't the entrance passage been breached yet?"
"Yes, it's completely different from what we expected. What exactly happened inside?"
Bei Mingxue remained calm and composed; the slower the entrance was breached, the better for them.
but……
Isn't this taking a little too long?
Even if some monsters rush out from the other two exits, at least most of them will still be blocked behind this door.
He could hold off a half-S-rank Abyss monster for so long all by himself.
Even with the talent to suppress mechanical monsters, this is still unlikely...
Bei Mingxue found it all rather unbelievable.
"Mingxue, shall I go in and take a look?"
Xie Linqi spoke, his voice aged, offering his suggestion.
He is a three-star general stationed in the capital. He is 103 years old this year. He once stepped into the Quasi-King Realm but fell back to the Ninth Rank. His blood and qi are declining, and you can see the white hair and vicissitudes on his appearance. Only his eyes are still full of murderous aura.
"No, I'll go. You two should continue to oversee the central command," Bei Mingxue said.
Without waiting for the two generals to decide, she transformed into a streak of purple light and rushed directly into the spatial vortex that was on the verge of collapse but remained motionless.
"This girl is still as willful and reckless as ever," sighed Wang Weidong, another veteran Samsung player.
"She carries the Evil Dragon King Chess, so there shouldn't be any problem," Xie Linqi said with a smile.
As he spoke, he stroked his beard, a hint of unease appearing on his face. He turned to look at the capital city, shrouded in darkness, in the far distance behind him, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Wang Weidong glanced at him and said, "Are you worried?"
"I guess so," Shering smiled and said, "I'm a pessimist; whatever I do, I always think about the worst possible outcome first."
"Ten hours have passed, and there's still no movement from the capital. The resources have arrived, but where are the people?"
"Once the S-class Abyss collapses, the monster tide will pour out like a tidal wave. Even with so many deployments, it's still not enough. At most, it can only withstand the first ten waves of impact. Relying on just a dozen or so ninth-tier grandmasters, two generals, and these few thousand fifth and sixth-tier warriors to withstand a tide of millions of abyssal monsters..."
He shook his head.
Wang Weidong understood his meaning, and after glancing at the capital city, he sighed softly: "If Great Xia were as united as it was a hundred years ago when it faced the crisis of national annihilation, I believe it could cope with any disaster. But now... sigh."
"Everyone's just thinking about hiding and protecting themselves, maximizing their own interests. Do they think they can stay alive just because they don't want to die? They rely on their ancestors' achievements to occupy the best resources and rise step by step, but they've lost all their fighting spirit. Why shouldn't they be allowed to die? Don't they realize that even kings are just ants in the face of overwhelming power?"
Xie Linqi was silent for a moment, then said, "If only Old King Xia could pass away."
Upon hearing this, Wang Weidong's expression changed. "Hey! You can't just say things like that."
Sheryl remained silent, his eyes dim.
…………
the other side.
Bei Mingxue's vision changed as she plunged into the abyss.
The blood-red sky came into her view.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
On the crimson sky, billions of sparks fell like rain.
Dust filled the air, and the ground was covered with the remains of enormous mechanical monsters.
"This is...?" Bei Mingxue exclaimed in surprise.
She saw the three mechanical constructs that were resisting the wave of monsters and was shocked by their combat power.
"They carry Jiang Yuan's aura; these are actually his mechs?! But... where is he?"
Bei Mingxue used a reconnaissance skill to look around.
"boom!!"
A pillar of light shot skyward.
Bei Mingxue instinctively looked over, her mouth slightly agape.
All I saw was...
On the distant horizon, an endless stream of mechanical monsters converged like a tide.
In the area where the most objects were gathered, a massive explosion swept in all directions, blowing away thousands of mechanical monsters and turning an area within a radius of a thousand meters into a sunken open space!
The ground melted like lava, and countless cracks spread out.
The center of the open space.
A boy with a naked upper body, his wounds gushing golden blood, and his black hair flying wildly, grabbed the neck of a pitch-black humanoid mechanical monster with his left hand, while his other hand reached out and pierced its chest like light, grabbing its core and crushing it in one swift motion!
Before the terrifying energy could spread, it was swallowed up by the dark vortex that emerged from his palm and transferred to other places.
The boy's face remained completely expressionless after he finished doing all this, as calm as if he were killing a chicken.
[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the Quasi-King-level Lord Monster [Slayer], and obtaining its exclusive skill—Eternal Prison of Slaughter!]
Upon hearing this hint, a look of surprise and delight appeared on the boy's face.
"Oh? It even has a unique skill?"
He killed four similar lords, but only this one yielded an unexpected reward.
The rest of the items dropped were either top-tier materials or top-tier epic equipment with maxed-out stats.
A quick look.
This exclusive skill is also quite amazing; it's about driving and controlling killing intent.
Once the other party is intimidated by the murderous intent, they will be unable to move and become fish on the chopping block at your mercy.
The stronger the killing intent, the stronger the effect of this skill, and there is no upper limit.
Especially among top-tier experts, even a single moment of stillness is enough to seize an opening and instantly kill the opponent.
That's a pretty underhanded skill.
"Whew...that feels great!"
Jiang Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, took out the Divine Moon Heavenly Robe that had transformed into a black overcoat, and put it on. The wounds on his body had already healed, and his skin was crystal clear, as if covered with a layer of glass glaze.
In order to enjoy the battle to the fullest, he did not use any weapons or equipment in this battle in the abyss, relying solely on his abnormal martial arts skills, abilities, and stats.
After reaching the eighth rank, he entered the Starburst state and was able to fight hand-to-hand with a quasi-king.
He can be knocked away, injured, and even have his health bar reduced, but he just can't die.
"I played for nine hours straight, and it was so much fun. I haven't had this much fun in a long time."
"With my entire body activated, my immortal divine body and blood and qi seem to have increased as well. The martial god profession really does have to rely on fists to speak."
Jiang Yuan smiled, already looking forward to the scene of him poking people's faces with health bars in the future.
