Chapter 188: All or Nothing
"Do you have a solution?"
Hearing Jiang Yao say this, Lu Xingyue hurriedly asked.
"There is a way, but ...... His cooperation is also needed. Jiang Yao turned around and said to Qiu Laosan on the side.
"You kid...... Do you want me to be a bait and feed the skeletons?!" Seeing Jiang Yao looking at him like this, Qiu Laosan's face suddenly pulled down, and he struggled to distance himself from Jiang Yao.
"Don't get me wrong, if I really wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't have risked my life to save you before. Jiang Yao shook his head, ignoring Qiu Laosan's vicious eyes. "Before, you claimed to be the 'master of a faction', so are those people behind you all your subordinates?"
"What's the matter!" Qiu Laosan was still vigilant.
"Oh, but in this situation, will they still listen to your words?" Jiang Yao pretended to say in a deep voice, and the questioning look in his eyes made Qiu Laosan suddenly angry.
"Nonsense! Lao Tzu is still alive for a day, and they don't dare to make it for a day!" Qiu Laosan scolded angrily.
"Hehe, with your words, that's easy to do. Jiang Yao said, looking at the vampire skeleton that was getting closer and closer. "In the current situation, if they continue to fight, all of us will be overtaken by the vampire skeletons, and if we want to survive, we need you, the 'master of the faction', to come out. β
ββ¦β¦ What do you want me to do?" Qiu Laosan hesitated for a moment, and finally relented.
"I'll just say it once, listen to it......" Jiang Yao turned his head and quickly explained something to Lu Xingyue and Qiu Laosan.
"You...... Are you sure you want to take this risk?" Lu Xingyue said in surprise. "It's okay for me to use 'that trick', but we've never worked together with that mode, and if it fails, it's a dead end!"
"But now it's just a try. Jiang Yao said seriously, looking at Qiu Laosan beside him. "But until then, you'll have to buy us time, can you?"
"Hmph, don't underestimate people! Since I, Qiu Laosan, promised you, I will definitely be able to do it!" Qiu Laosan roared. "It's you, don't hang up first!"
"Of course. There's no time to grind, let's get started!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yao took a deep breath, and as the dark purple light in his hand flashed, a demonic aura that seemed to exist suddenly enveloped Jiang Yao's right arm like a shroud, and gradually transformed into a giant claw phantom.
If you only use part of the strength in your arms...... It should be manageable!
Jiang Yao gritted his teeth, and the faint blue light emitted by the 'Xuanwu Bead' in his arms loomed in his chest. He looked up at the skeletal legion rushing in front of him, and stretched out his hand to wave it hard!
"Rumbleββ!
The two rows of vampire skeletons at the front were violently swept out in the sweeping mana fluctuations, and the violent sound made the surging skeleton legions have to slow down, and also caused the crowd of people behind Jiang Yao to stop and turn to the rear in surprise.
"What's going on? ...... What's going on??"
"Bang!!"
Before everyone came back to their senses, another huge shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and they saw a two-person tall wolf demon-style god virtual statue suddenly falling, suddenly blocking the "Ghost Gate" barrier in front of everyone.
"Stop it!!"
The fierce scolding was like a slap in the head, and in an instant the scuffling came back to their senses, and they turned in surprise to see a sturdy man covered in blood standing behind them, red eyes, glaring at them.
"Lao Tzu doesn't exert power, one by one when I don't exist, right?" Qiu Laosan glared and shouted loudly. "Who dares to get half a step closer to that enchantment, Lao Tzu has peeled his skin!!"
"Old ...... Boss, we don't want to abandon you, it's because ......" In the crowd, a thin man said timidly, looking at the giant wolf-like god at the entrance of the door and the slowly closing spatial crack, his face full of hesitation.
"Hmph, they're all dying, who cares who is the boss!"
An unconvinced voice suddenly interjected, and I saw the tall and thin "bamboo pole man" with oily hair and pink face on the side glance at Qiu Laosan, and his words were very unpolite.
"If you have the ability to feed the skeletons yourself and delay time for the brothers, this is like a boss......"
Before he finished speaking, the "bamboo pole man" suddenly stiffened, and he saw a row of sharp minions sticking to him, and his twitching face was reflected in the green pupils of the giant wolf in front of him, as if as long as there was a slight movement, it would be torn to pieces in an instant.
"Wang Er, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, even if I, Qiu Laosan, am gone, it won't be your turn to intervene in this "Qiu Shan faction"!"
Qiu Laosan sneered, his bloodshot eyes matched with the hideous face, which made Wang Er, the "bamboo pole man" in front of him, tremble.
"Brothers, listen up! Since I, Qiu Laosan, am your boss, I will definitely not leave everyone behind! Now the situation is urgent, and only by obeying my orders can I save my life!"
Qiu Laosan raised his head and looked around at the people around him, and his words were sonorous and powerful.
"Before everyone successfully evacuates, I, Qiu Laosan, are in charge of the rear of the palace. As long as Lao Tzu still has a breath of air, he will definitely guarantee that everyone will leave safely!"
"Boss ......"
After hearing that Qiu Laosan was going to sacrifice himself for the sake of everyone, those who had hesitated before suddenly showed a moved look, and even that Wang Er looked incredulous.
"I will use all my strength to help everyone block the skeletons, but I can't hold it out for too long, and I need all of you to summon the gods to help me resist!"
"Everyone at the scene evacuated in batches according to my command, and the 'wood attribute' guy who was 'metallic' withdrew first, a group of three, and the god manipulation must not be terminated before evacuation, if anyone dares to act without authorization, Lao Tzu will let him feed the wolf!
"Yes, boss!"
In the face of Qiu Laosan's momentum, all the people present couldn't help but be stimulated to their blood, and began to summon the gods to resist the skeletons in front of them, and after the mobilization was completed, Qiu Laosan immediately turned to Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue in the rear, and shouted loudly:
"You two! you can do it!!"
"Roger!"
The newly added Shishen help suddenly reduced the pressure on Jiang Yao's side a lot, and after shaking off a batch of vampire skeletons again, Jiang Yao turned around and retreated to Lu Xingyue's side, standing side by side with him.
"Are you almost ready?" Jiang Yao asked.
"Let's give it a try. Lu Xingyue gritted his teeth and said, the light in the golden and silver pupils flashed, and suddenly a cold demonic aura burst out from his palm, only to see several pale golden light cords jump up from his palm at the same time, and quickly twist into a strand, like a giant python rushing towards the howling skeleton army.
"It's now!"
When it was too late, the giant claw of Jiang Yao's arm was instantly elongated, and he grabbed the body of the golden "giant python", and at the same time, a dark purple electric light surrounded the body of the "giant python" layer by layer, and the powerful mana of gold and purple immediately broke into the group of skeletons, and the next moment it exploded!
Boom!
The scattered mana scattered like star chips scattered towards the skeleton army, and the golden and purple star chips seeped into the skeleton bone, but then condensed into a demonic light knife, piercing out of the skeleton's body, locking them firmly in place.
"Pole Β· Meteor Prison!'"
Boom Boom Boom ββ!!
The flowing dark purple electric light mixed with the golden spear forged by the demonic qi rained down from the sky like a salvo of ten thousand arrows, hitting the dense skeleton legion on the stone steps, but this time, the skeletons that were cut off by the sword light and sword rain were never reborn, and in the blink of an eye, those dense skeleton legions were twisted into dust by the swirling dark purple demonic qi and scattered in the demon wind.
"It's done!!"
Seeing the skeleton legion disappearing in front of him, Lu Xingyue's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, but at this time, he heard Qiu Laosan's anxious voice suddenly coming from behind him:
"The 'hour of time' is about to pass!The barrier is almost over!!"
"Oh no, get out of here!"
Jiang Yao immediately came back to his senses, pulled up Lu Xingyue and turned around and ran, only then did the two find that everyone in the rear had been evacuated, and only Qiu Laosan was still guarding the gap in the enchantment, urging Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue anxiously.
"Hurry!hurry!!"
Seeing Lu Xingyue and Jiang Yao running over, Qiu Laosan finally limped into the gap in the enchantment that was getting smaller and smaller, and after Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue followed into the gap, the gap suddenly closed and there was no trace.
β¦β¦
Call......
The bleak mountain breeze blew the remaining dust on the mountain road, and the thick fog mixed with the bloody gas that had not yet dissipated, gradually eroded the surrounding scenery and gradually disintegrated this temporary space. In the gradual darkness, only the dried corpses of the victims remained sadly on the stone steps, and their distorted faces seemed to tell the last despair.
"Ka Cha ......"
The head of a crumbling corpse was blown down the stone steps in the mountain wind, and slowly rolled to the feet of an inky figure. In the mist, the hazy black shadow that suddenly appeared didn't seem to pay attention to the head under his feet, but slowly raised his head and looked at the mountain path full of corpses.
ββ¦β¦β
The black shadow stared in the direction of the mist for a moment, then slowly reached out and revealed the mysterious object in his hand that shone with a golden demonic light.
"Woo......!"
The demonic wind of ghost crying suddenly erupted around the mysterious object with a dazzling golden light, and at that moment, dozens of points of light suddenly fluttered out from the dried corpses on the ground, and even a little fluorescence was gathered in the mist, and those points of light seemed to be attracted by the golden object, and slowly floated into the object.
"......" The black shadow was silent, and the strange golden light reflected the strange mask on the other party's face that looked like a skeleton and was as pale as paper, while the figure of the black shadow was chaotic in the mist, like a soulless puppet, lifeless.
After half an hour, the light was absorbed, and the light of the golden object finally faded, and the black shadow was retracted into his arms.
The black shadow turned around and looked fixedly at the "Ghost Gate" doorway where Jiang Yao and the others had left, and then in the gradually collapsing different space, with the bodies of those sad and desperate dried corpses, they fell into the darkness and disappeared without a trace......
