Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sacrifice

If the flames can burn away the filth of the world, then the endless fire is enough to kill the gods.

At least, that's what Liu Bang, who saw the scene in front of him, thought.

A whole jar of endless fire poured on the floor of the cell was lit, and the green flames were instantly locked up in the prison, and the poor man who had not yet recovered from the pain of being burned by the fire was drowned in flames.

Because the combustion happened in an instant, all the air gathered around the green sea of fire and burst in an instant.

The impact of the explosion sent Liu Bang flying and crashing him into a wall about five or six meters behind him.

Liu Bang fell to the ground, and the jailer who was holding the handle outside the cell rushed into the cell after hearing the movement, and found Liu Bang lying on the ground, and immediately stepped forward to help, for fear that the slightest snubbing would displease the emperor.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" asked the jailer.

The jailer lifted Liu Bang up, and when he felt that Liu Bang did not rely on him, he let go of his hand and let Liu Bang stand alone.

Liu Bang shook his head slightly, answering the jailer's question. The jailer was overjoyed, and in just a moment, he began to fantasize that sooner or later he would be reused by the imperial court, and then he would enjoy endless glory and wealth, glory to his ancestors, and infinite scenery.

Because the reflection of the green flame swayed back and forth on the wall, it was impossible for the jailer not to notice nature. So, the jailer looked at the cell, and in the next second, the jailer saw the most terrifying picture he had ever seen in his life.

The cell, which could hold more than twenty people, was filled with green flames, and flames were constantly fluttering out through the bars of the cells. In the flames, a figure twisted and waved its hands, seemingly with a large mouth, but there was no way to make a little sound because its vocal cords had already been engulfed in flames.

Seeing this, the jailer leaned his spear against the wall, turned around and rushed out of the cell. Under the cover of the roar of flames, Liu Bang could vaguely hear the jailer's vomiting.

Compared with the reaction of the jailer, Liu Bang was much calmer, in Liu Bang's opinion, the soldier wrapped in flames was just his test object, and it was not a pity to die, and he deserved it.

The bars of the cells were so red that in less than two minutes they turned into a puddle of molten iron, and as for the soldiers, they had already turned into a puddle of ashes.

The experiment can be said to be quite successful, thinking that there are still three thousand endless fires in Xue Chi's cellar, Liu Bang's hairs stand up with excitement.

The Endless Flame has not been curtailed in the slightest, and it may be for this reason that it was named the Endless Flame.

Xue Chi had explained before that after the experiment was over, there was only one way to extinguish the Endless Fire, and that was to bury it with soil. Although fire and water are mutually reinforcing, in the face of endless fire, extinguishing the fire with water is of no help at all, it is nothing more than increasing oxygen in vain.

After explaining the method of extinguishing the fire to the jailer, Liu Bang had no intention of staying and hurried back to the dormitory.

Concubine Ying, who had defected, and Hei, who was about to carry out the ceremony, had been waiting for a long time, and Hei dragged his body and came to Liu Bang to salute.

After all, Liu Bang is the lord of a country, and Black doesn't want to make a mistake, and in his heart, there are more important things to do, and all this requires Liu Bang's cooperation.

Since she saw black, Concubine Ying has been in a state of high tension, and black makes her feel a kind of panic and jealousy from the heart. When Black told Concubine Ying that she was two months pregnant, Concubine Ying grew her mouth, as if she had been grabbed by someone's heart, and she had difficulty breathing and her head was confused.

And when Black mentioned the role of "royal blood", Concubine Ying regretted not being at the beginning.

"How is the ceremony going to be carried out?" Among the thousands of concubines, Concubine Ying can be said to be the one Liu Bang cares about the most, because she has had a bed, so she barely remembers that there is such a person as Concubine Ying.

Concubine Ying's life is like a mustard for Liu Bang, and there is no connection.

"Your Majesty, please open the net, this is your own flesh and blood!" Concubine Ying almost roared and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please! Your Majesty!"

The mood on Liu Bang's face did not change much, he just frowned slightly, and then looked at the black.

Black said to Liu Bang:

"When the sun is directly above the sky, pierce her stomach, release the blood of the royal family, and worship the gods with royal power, and obtain heavenly help, so as to survive this catastrophe. ”

The long wait is an ordeal for Concubine Ying, and the most terrible thing in the world is not sudden death, but knowing exactly what time you will die. Unknown deaths are unpredictable, and known deaths are the most terrifying.

On the other side, Xiang Yu and his party had already assembled, and the soldiers lined up in formation, all in a defensive position.

Because everyone doesn't know what the sword of salvation in the sky will look like, whether it is friend or foe, and there is no clue.

"King Xiang, what is the origin of this sword, and why is there such a vision?" Roshan asked curiously.

Regarding the origin of the sword, Xiang Yu had no way to answer truthfully, if according to the facts, telling Roshan that he had picked up the sword from a cave would not only be unconvincing, but would make the whole thing even more weird.

"I'll talk about that later. After a casual perfunctory sentence, Xiang Yu stared at the formation and the sword of salvation in the sky.

The souls flying towards the formation were obviously much less than before, and the number was vaguely visible, if Xiang Yu's prediction was not wrong, within five minutes, this strange ritual would be over. At that time, it was exactly noon.

"Everyone be ready, no matter what happens, don't mess around!" Roshan instructed, as for Roshan himself, he didn't worry too much. Even if dozens of kilograms of TNT exploded at a distance of 10 meters, the impact force generated would not have caused any substantial damage to Roshan.

"What kind of fame is this sword demon going to do?" Xiang Yu muttered in his heart, according to the system, there was a sword demon in this Sword of Salvation, and this just explained the strange formation in the sky, as well as all the actions that the Sword of Salvation did when it flew into the sky.

Could it be that the Sword of Salvation is self-evolving? Absorbing such a huge number of souls, according to the routine of a normal novel or story, the absorber will surely become a more powerful being.

“10。 ”

“9。 ”

“8。 ”

"......" Black glanced at the sun in the sky and began the countdown, and the less time remained, the more pompous the smile on Black's face became.

“1。 ”

The black countdown is over, and the face is so excited that it is deformed, like a clown with funny makeup, which makes people shudder.

Because the whole ceremony had to be carried out in secret, there were only three people on the platform used to hold the ceremony, Liu Bang, Concubine Ying and Hei, and in addition, in order to deal with emergencies, Liu Bang placed a cronies around the altar of the dormitory.

Liu Bang doesn't know anything about black, what he can do is to try to prepare a full range of countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, it's up to you next. Black said.

Black put a golden dagger prepared in advance into Liu Bang's hand.

Liu Bang came to Concubine Ying, who had already cried into tears, completely without the appearance of a concubine, and without the expression of yearning for freedom when she eloped with the guard before.

"Blame it on providence. After Liu Bang finished speaking, he didn't give Concubine Ying any chance to react, aiming at the position of Concubine Ying's abdomen downward, the knife pierced Concubine Ying's clothes, and after cutting Concubine Ying's stomach, he stabbed the placenta.

"Uh......" Concubine Ying wanted to say something, but blood overflowed from her mouth, and she choked back the words that came to her mouth, and in the end only a faint sound remained, completely unclear of its meaning.

Liu Bang turned the knife, and after about a turn, he quickly pulled out the knife, and blood gushed out, spraying everywhere.

Liu Bang's hands, face, and clothes were full of blood, and blood continued to pour out from the wounds, and the scene was very violent.

Black squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the blood on the ground, and then reached into his mouth, and after licking it lightly with his tongue, his face was excited, and he said excitedly:

"That's it, that's what royal blood tastes like, that's right!"

"Let's get started. Liu Bang turned around and stepped aside, took out a silk scarf from his pocket, gently wiped the blood on his face, and then wiped his hands on the handkerchief almost clean, and then directly threw the handkerchief aside.

Black pulled a spherical object out of his clothes and threw it towards the ground, a flash of light flashed, and black transformed into three.

The three blacks stood at the three corners of the triangular altar, then turned their heads to look at Liu Bang who was standing aside, and said, "Your Majesty, you better go back a little, so as not to cause interference during the ceremony." ”

Liu Bang stepped down from the altar and stood aside, becoming a bystander.

Because of excessive blood loss, Concubine Ying's face was pale and confused, and she could only blink her eyes constantly, vaguely seeing everything that was happening in front of her through the gap in her eyelids.

The three black movements are in unison, as if they had been copied and pasted. The three blacks knelt down on one knee together, and then the three of them lightly touched the ground with their fingers, and a black link was formed between the three people, like a light, and like a physical connecting line.

Later, the black connecting lines turned into slightly transparent black walls, or more appropriately, "enchantments", which began to cap when they were about a person tall, forming a sealed place.

The blood that flowed out of Concubine Ying's body began to flow regularly, and there was a mysterious depression in the originally flat marble, and the blood flowed into the grooves of the pattern lines, and when the blood infected all the patterns, the patterns began to emit a dazzling red light.

"It's almost done. Black let out a shrill laugh, "A little more, a little more." ”

The blood in Concubine Ying's body was losing at an accelerated rate, and the red light emitted by the mysterious pattern became brighter and brighter, and the red light was firmly locked by the cage formed by the three blacks, unable to leak out.

"Hurry, hurry, it's almost there. Black muttered.

The last drop of blood in Concubine Ying's body was drained, and the red light emitted by the mysterious pattern finally reached its maximum brightness.

The top of the cage vanished, and the red light was released, rushing into the sky, the diameter of the beam was about four or five meters.

Under normal circumstances, even on the space station, such a dazzling beam of light can be seen.

However, due to the special shielding of the altar, only the participants can see the light.

Almost at the same time as the beam shot out, a roar sounded, followed by a flood of red.

"Cheng ...... Did it work?"
