Chapter 53: The Altar Is Destroyed
Zhou Yu missed a blow, and he had no intention of continuing to entangle with the old man.
Before Su Yu could attack, the others had already jumped into the pool of blood that had been drained clean, and with a wave of his long sleeves, the iron cages above his head fell one after another, smashing deep pits in the pool.
No one knows how he did it, and when the iron cages fell, the chains on the cages broke out of thin air.
The monks seized this opportunity and hurriedly escaped from the iron cage, and in the next second they were in a fight with the old man's men.
Most of the remaining mortals were huddled in cages, trying to save their lives with this sturdy cage.
But the little girl's father and mother were a little bolder, and they quietly got out of the cage and hid in each other's corners of the cave.
Seeing this, Xie Zhengliu, who was also hidden in the shadows, raised his hand and threw the last hidden talisman he was carrying to the two of them.
Xie Zhengliu's long knife was not around, and even her storage bag was searched.
The rest of the monks had lost their natal weapons without exception, so they had a hard time dealing with these guards.
Fortunately, these monks had some skills, and soon the whole cave was thrown into chaos.
And Zhou Yu, who caused all this, was still resisting Su Yu's attack while trying to rush to the altar and destroy the formation above.
Xie Zhengliu waited until the scene was chaotic to the extreme, and then quietly sneaked into Yue Mingqiu's side.
She was just about to untie the ropes on the two of them when she saw Zhuang Youqian suddenly open his eyes.
"When did you wake up?" Xie Zhengliu's hands kept moving, and fortunately, the rope that tied them was not a powerful magic weapon, otherwise she might not be able to untie it with her current spiritual power.
Zhuang Youqian's face palpitated: "We woke up when the Zhou Yu City Lord spoke just now, but because we wanted to hear more of the inside story, we didn't dare to act." ”
Yue Mingqiu quickly got up with the help of Xie Zhengliu, he casually picked up the sword left by a dead guard, and was about to rush forward to fight the enemy with the rest of the scattered cultivators.
Xie Zhengliu quickly pulled him: "What are you doing when you rush up, we are just monks in the foundation building period, how can the cultivation of those guards also be in the middle stage of foundation building." We can't help at all when we go up, it just adds to the chaos. Let's find a way to take advantage of the chaos to send the mortals here away. ”
Yue Mingqiu felt that she had a point, so he had to give up the impulsive idea just now.
Zhuang Youqian also followed: "Before I was arrested, I had already sent a message to Senior Brother Yuan Hao and them, calculate the time, how they should find the vicinity of the statue." If we had acted faster, we would have been able to save everyone. ”
After a brief discussion, the three of them decided that Zhuang and Yue would escort those mortals away in batches, while Xie Zhengliu would stay in the cave to protect the rest
Although the cultivation of the three of them was not as good as those casual cultivation, they moved very quickly.
By the time the white-haired old man realized that the situation was not good, and that his sacrifices were not enough, more than a dozen people had been quietly taken out of the cave.
"There are a few little trash fish, making trouble under my nose!" He felt the tremendous vitality on the ground coming to him, and realized that a disciple of the Immortal Sect had discovered this cave.
The old man didn't feel afraid at all, and the look in his eyes became more pleasant: "I wanted to leave you a way to live, but since you yourself have to come to find death, then I don't have to be polite!" ”
The old man turned around to avoid Zhou Yu's stabbing sword, and demonic energy poured out from under his long robe. A pair of small red and black flags suddenly flew out of his head.
At that moment, the temperature in the entire cave suddenly changed, and the yin qi mixed with the demonic qi was about to wrap the cave along the surrounding walls.
Xie Zhengliu even noticed that the black shadows under the old man's feet were inflated off the ground one by one, turning into human forms and appearing behind the old man.
"So many ghosts, how many people have you killed as a monster?!" After Zhou Yu saw those black shadows that had finally turned into human form, the anger in his heart almost burned his reason.
He wanted to step forward and take down the flag above the old man's head, but Su Yu did not allow him to escape this time, but took the opportunity to grab Zhou Yu and pressed the person the stone steps under the altar.
"Senior brother, it's all this time, you have time to care about others, it's better to think more about your own fate." The malice in Su Yu's eyes was also undisguised.
The yin qi that rushed to the sky quickly gathered in the small cave, and when the yin qi was at its thickest, those black shadows finally all turned into human forms and changed back to the appearance of souls.
They were all ghosts driven by the old man, and because there were too many of them, when they swarmed up, even the most powerful monks were controlled under such crowd tactics.
Seeing that the ghosts began to capture mortals, trying to send them to the altar.
Xie Zhengliu knew that he couldn't sit still and wait.
She squeezed out all her spiritual power and covered the remaining mortals, and finally forced out a little karmic fire and threw it into the group of ghosts that were rushing towards her.
This moment was like hot oil on fire, and everyone present only felt that their eyes were white, and the huge roar that followed almost deafened their ears.
When everyone came back to their senses, not to mention the ghosts, even the previous cave was gone.
On the ground, Yue Mingqiu and Zhuang Youqian, who had finally joined Yuan Hao and others, had not had time to inform them of the events in the cave, and they felt the ground under their feet tremble violently.
Cracks spread from the bluestone bricks under the statue to all sides, and everyone didn't even have time to panic, only to retreat one by one.
By the time they came to their senses, the central plaza, which had been flat and open, had collapsed entirely. The tall statue in the center of the square also tilted slowly, and slammed into the altar in the cavern in the smoke and dust and all kinds of shouts and wails.
With a bang, the smoke and dust were raised, and the statue of the first city lord, which had been standing for hundreds of years again, was torn apart in an instant, and the altar that the old man regarded as an opportunity for regeneration was completely destroyed!
When the two collided, the old man's hysterical screams almost penetrated the ears of everyone above and below ground.
He was crazy and wanted to pounce on these two things, but he was still a step too late.
"Nope! My statue, my altar! I've tried so long, and I've killed so many demons. It's just one step away, it's just one step away! The old man was on the verge of collapse, he had been waiting for this day for too long, but when he saw that his wish was about to come true, all his efforts were in vain because of a small mistake!
The old man's back instantly stiffened a little, and he fell under the statue's shattered head, his cloudy eyes meeting the statue's godless stone eyes, as if he were looking at the former city lord.
Yuan Hao and the others on the sinkhole finally saw the situation below, and they quickly took away those mortals who were protected by Xie Zhengliu, and Su Yu wanted to stop them, but because they were affected by the momentum when Yin Qi and karmic fire collided before, half of his body couldn't move.
There was no way, he could only hope for the old man: "City Lord, as long as you are still there and the flag is still there, the demon blood and human anger can be regained." Don't be sad, city lord, cheer up quickly and take us out of here, we still have a chance to make a comeback! ”
Under Su Yu's urging, the old man finally stood up.
"You're right."
Su Yu's nervous expression eased slightly, he just wanted to show a smile to his master, but before that, the demonic energy in the palm of the old man's hand hit his heart.
"I still have a chance to make a comeback, but you waste, stay here and be my new ghost."
"Today, everyone in the city of ghosts will die!"
