Chapter 134: The End
The Demon Lord's sudden move caught Zhang Ping completely off guard.
His expression showed slight surprise; hadn't he already broken the light barrier?
Just as he was about to interrupt the other party's actions, the demonic sound had already echoed throughout the entire royal city.
Black lines reappeared on the earth, but compared to before, these black lines were less complex and seemed to be merely superficial.
"Hmm? Is there a flaw in the Heavenly Secrets? Why is that..."
The Demon Lord suddenly opened his eyes, a look of confusion flashing across his gaze.
The King of Southern Xinjiang died before noon. According to the Heavenly Secrets and Numbers, the Xuan Tian Blood Sacrifice Array should have been able to be completely replicated, but why is there a defect now?
The Demon Lord's movements suddenly stopped, but Zhang Ping dared not be careless. He suppressed his fatigue and entered the Ghost Blade Three Forms state again, and a gray phantom suddenly unfolded behind him.
The reappearance of black patterns on the ground caused some turmoil in the royal city, but the warriors quickly realized that apart from the appearance of the patterns, the strange black energy that had previously drained their power had not reappeared, which put them at ease.
"How could this be? Why is there a defect?" The Demon Lord was completely baffled.
He then looked at the spirit gu in Zhang Ping's hand and had a guess in his mind.
"It's flawed, sigh." He shook his head.
The mark on his hand suddenly changed, and the black patterns in the royal city seemed to come alive, twisting and floating into the air.
They converge in front of the black hole, forming a super-large black sphere.
A powerful, chaotic force emanated from the black sphere.
"That's... the power extracted earlier?!" Zhang Ping's eyelids twitched, and he immediately guessed the source of the black ball's power.
Without hesitation, I raised my arms in front of my chest and pushed my palms outward!
"The Prison Break!"
In an instant, an invisible gray blade of energy tore through space!
The three-headed demon Black Tiger King was so frightened by Zhang Ping's initial stance that he hid behind the Demon Lord in a panic.
The Demon Lord's expression had returned to calm. He stretched out his right hand, and his arm quickly extended and inserted into the black sphere.
"block!"
With a single command, the black sphere's volume was instantly reduced by a portion.
The gray blade energy that had been tearing through the air vanished in mid-air! There was no sign of it being blocked!
How is that possible?!
Zhang Ping's eyes, which were obscured by the gray aura, flashed with shock. Such methods!
The next moment, the power within the black sphere surged continuously toward the Demon Lord, passing through his body and being transmitted into the desolate world behind him.
Through the black hole, Zhang Ping could vaguely see a large number of golden chains suddenly appearing in that space.
The headless giant, clad in tattered ancient armor, was bound by chains. As power was channeled into it, the light from one of the chains on the giant's chest dimmed slightly.
"Is this the seal?" Zhang Ping raised an eyebrow.
We can't let the Demon Lord weaken the seal's power like this!
His mind raced, and he mobilized the last of his power, gathering it together continuously.
"The Prison Break!"
Zhang Ping glared slightly, and unleashed a gray blade of energy far surpassing the previous one!
At the edge of the black hole, sensing the power contained within the blade energy, the Demon Lord's expression changed slightly, and he displeasedly stopped transmitting energy.
At this moment, the black sphere was only one-third full, but it was a power condensed from the blood and energy of millions of people in the entire royal city. Even one-third of it was terrifying.
"Since you insist on ruining my grand plan, then so be it!" A rare hint of killing intent flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes.
A primal aura shot out from the black hole behind him and entered the black sphere.
In the blink of an eye, the black ball transformed into a fine, long spear.
The spear was jet black and solid, emanating a soaring resentment.
He turned his spear around and instantly thrust it at Zhang Ping!
Boom—
Golden light flashed in the sky. The moment the primal aura entered the black sphere, a golden chain shot out from the void, piercing through space and binding the Demon Lord!
On the other side, the spear collided with the gray blade energy, and surprisingly, it subtly suppressed the sharpness of the blade energy!
At this moment, atop the mountain peak, Zhang Ping had already dispelled the afterimage behind him. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately flew away!
"Want to leave? Pay the price!" The Demon Lord frowned deeply.
He personally intervened and pushed the spear from a distance!
Golden chains were wrapped around his body, making a hissing sound.
As he took action, the golden chains tightened instantly!
In the desolate world within the black hole, the headless giant was also bound by countless chains. One of them pierced through the air, instantly penetrating the Demon Lord's chest and dragging him back.
The three-headed demon king was carried away by a wisp of mist.
As the black hole vanished into a singularity, the muffled groan of the Demon Lord could be faintly heard emanating from within.
The golden chains disappeared, and the sky began to return to normal, but Zhang Ping did not relax at all.
His figure flew rapidly through the air, occasionally making a sudden turn.
Behind him, a jet-black spear relentlessly pursued him, seemingly possessing its own consciousness, keeping a close eye on Zhang Ping.
Even though Zhang Ping deliberately flew low through the royal city, he could not shake off the spear's pursuit.
"Damn it! What is that thing?"
The owl-shaped beast pattern on his forehead kept issuing warnings, and Zhang Ping's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
As the distance closed, his heart sank: "Looks like I have no choice but to tough it out..."
Zhang Ping's figure sped towards the summit of the sacred mountain.
The moment he landed, the little strength he had just recovered was squeezed out again, and stone walls rose up from the ground to block his way.
He roared, "Black Tortoise Armor!"
He donned khaki armor, and simultaneously conjured a longsword in his hand: "Radiant Light!"
boom--
......
"Miao Zhan! The demons have retreated!"
Outside the royal city, a million warriors battle demons.
After the Demon Lord and the three-headed demon king retreated, only a few demons at the early stage of the Marrow Marrow Realm remained in the remaining demon horde. Miao Zhan and his men barely managed to hold off those few demons after using a considerable number of Gu worms that unleashed their power.
However, given the severity of his injuries, it was no easy feat for him to withstand the attack.
Seeing the demon horde suddenly retreat, I breathed a sigh of relief!
The battlefield stretched for an unknown distance, almost enveloping the entire royal city.
As the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, a ray of sunlight shone down.
Cheers and screams filled the air, and warriors knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.
They won!
They survived!
"Let's go back to the Holy Mountain first." Miao Zhan felt a wave of relief wash over him, immediately realizing his terrible physical condition.
In order not to damage his original essence, he must return to the sacred mountain as soon as possible to find the Gu worms to treat his injuries.
"Walk!"
The other warriors from the Holy Mountain were also seriously injured. They were mostly wounded by the three-headed demon king yesterday and were fighting today by using Gu worms to keep themselves alive.
News of the demons' retreat spread throughout the royal city, and cheers resounded everywhere.
Miao Zhan and his group flew low overhead, and piles of corpses could be seen on every street. In some alleys, people were rummaging through the stolen bodies, searching for anything of value.
They won, that's true, but too many people died!
Whether it was people inside the city who were whipped to death by the strange formation, or warriors who died fighting demons outside the city, there were far too many.
Upon arriving at the sacred mountain, Miao Zhan was surprised to find that the guardian elders were waiting for them.
"Elder, what's going on?" Miao Zhan and the others asked in confusion.
But then the elder guarding the clan took out a Gu worm from his bosom and activated it, and a phantom image appeared above the Gu worm.
The image-recording Gu is used to record images.
The elder guarding the clan sighed: "This was given to me by the king. In the future, Princess Lele will be the new queen of Southern Xinjiang."
After this battle, they may leave southern Xinjiang and wander elsewhere.
But the position of king cannot be left vacant.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty is dead?"
After watching the video, everyone was stunned, especially Miao Zhan, who subconsciously took a step back, his body swaying precariously.
"How is this possible? His Majesty was perfectly fine before. Why is this happening?"
"Zhang Ping..."
Suddenly, Miao Zhan's gaze turned to the summit of the sacred mountain, bursting forth with intense hatred.
"It must be Zhang Ping! Did that guy kill the king?"
Faced with Miao Zhan's question, the guardian elder remained silent.
However, silence also represents an attitude.
The crowd was incredulous. Zhang Ping was the one who helped them defeat the demons. How could he possibly have killed the king?
"Miao Zhan, calm down. This is definitely not what you think."
"Yes, Zhang Ping could not possibly have murdered the king."
Most people were still rational and, noticing Miao Zhan's blood and qi slightly surging, they all tried to persuade him.
However, Miao Zhan was no longer listening to any of this at that moment.
All he knew was that his beloved woman had been imprisoned on the mountaintop by Zhang Ping for days and nights! He didn't know what she had done, nor did he have the power to stop it.
Now that the king is dead, Miao Zhan will risk his life to find out the truth!
With a loud bang, Miao Zhan disregarded his injuries and instantly flew towards the mountain peak!
"Miao Zhan!" The crowd looked at each other in surprise and quickly followed.
At this moment, atop the mountain peak.
A massive crater nearly split the mountaintop open, and fragments of the King's Gu Bowl were scattered everywhere.
The young man was covered in tattered clothes, and blood was seeping from his cracked skin. His right arm hung limply, numb.
He sat leaning against the edge of the pit, waiting for the vast life force and the earth dragon's regeneration to continuously repair his body.
