Chapter 107 The Ground Collapsed
"The Second Prince, the Jinghuo Mine has been operating for 2,000 years. Do you think we're just mining? Impossible! Below... Enjoy yourselves!!" Helen gave a loud order, and the Golden Armored Warriors drew their swords and charged towards the Imperial Guard. From the depths of the misty sea of clouds, the sound of muffled drums echoed, as large numbers of mine slaves broke free from their chains, their apathetic expressions turning ferocious, as they howled and charged towards the Imperial Guard.
This is the assembled Wu Zong-level suicide squad!
With the sound of shrill whistling, these people who had been suppressed for many years thoroughly erupted, ferocious as wolves and violently tyrannical as tigers, dancing with iron pikes, killing towards the Imperial Guard in the most ferocious way.
But soon, from the depths of the clouds above, a series of tiger roars rolled in, and a large number of tigers and eagles swooped down, tearing towards the mining slaves.
As fourth-level demon beasts, their combat strength is without exception comparable to that of a Martial Ancestor, and each one is extremely cruel and ruthless.
They are the demon beasts raised by Lieyun Manor, and also the reliance of Lieyun Manor to intimidate the empire!! The addition of nearly a thousand tiger eagles brings endless confidence to the Imperial Guard, no longer holding back, and going all out against the Golden Armor Warriors and the mining slaves.
The Second Prince Meng suddenly swung open his cloak, broke away from the Golden Winged Black Eagle, and stepped into the air: "Today I will meet our Delos Empire's Rose, don't let me down."
"Second prince, your opponent is me!!" Helen dived down head-on, blocking Niya in front of her, fearless and calm, a dazzling knife light directly aimed at the second prince.
"Get out!!" The Second Prince burst into fury, the air around him exploding with a terrifying tearing force.
"I'd rather die than kill my master!!" Helen roared, swinging her ancient war sword and forcefully breaking through the explosive storm.
Niya stood in the vast sky, took out a jade branch inlaid with various crystal stones, the jade branch was about half a meter long, and its entire body was fiery red, with various crystal stones arranged on it in an extraordinary pattern.
"This chaos was caused by your royal family, I'd like to see how you'll end it!! With internal strife and external threats, the Delos Empire is heading for self-destruction!"
Niya's face sank like water, with a jade branch as a pen and spiritual energy as ink, quickly drawing in mid-air. The crystal stone on the jade branch emitted intense energy fluctuations, guiding the convergence of heaven and earth energies.
Rumble!! Rivers and mountains are formed, thousands of meters of raging waves surge out; stars gather, thousands of starlight tear the sky apart; under Niya's brush, the painted patterns transform into physical entities, all of which are condensed from surging energy, containing a terrifying offensive momentum. Finally, Niya exhausts a huge amount of spiritual power to condense a massive ferocious bloodthirsty vampire bat, its wings spread out, stretching over a hundred meters, emitting an ear-piercing sonic wave, preying on the sky's tiger eagles.
The entire mine fell into chaos, with killings filling the air and underground, various mysterious martial arts emerging one after another, triggering a violent fluctuation of the mine's energy, affecting the slaves below, further accelerating the destruction of the mine.
"Give me protection!" Tang Yan looked excited, hurriedly sat cross-legged, and took in the energy of heaven and earth with big mouthfuls. All around him was a scene of carnage, and naturally, a large number of souls would be produced. Most importantly... they were mostly high-level warriors, their soul energy surging and fresh, which for Tang Yan was simply a great tonic.
Such an opportunity must not be missed.
"What is he going to do?" Xu Yan was somewhat puzzled, still having the mood to cultivate at this time?
"Take your life! If you don't mind, help us keep watch?" Du Yang's meridians in his body had not fully recovered yet and he also urgently needed time to nourish himself.
"How much time?" Xu Yan wanted to escape, but relying solely on his own words, it was easy to fall into a passive situation in this chaotic battlefield. He needed a few assistants, not too powerful, just enough to help out.
These two "grandfather-grandson" look pretty good, meeting their own requirements.
"Hurry up." Du Yang no longer paid attention to him, quickly adjusted his state and began to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, performing a large cycle of circulation, making a final repair to all the meridians and bones in his body.
Tang Yan continuously absorbed and refined the essence of life, just as he had expected. The space between heaven and earth was filled with the essence of life, and with a casual mouthful, he could capture three or four of them. There would always be one that was a top-notch expert, and the gains from this one moment far surpassed what he would normally obtain in an entire day.
The essence of life was rapidly refined, transformed into strands of pure energy that sank into the misty infant's dantian. The "heart" of the misty infant beat more and more violently, more and more powerfully, surging out life-giving energy to nourish all the organs in the body, which contained threads of strange and wondrous energy.
That's Shougen!!
In mid-air, a tiger eagle with bloodshot eyes suddenly noticed this place, the tiger head let out a fierce roar, and swooped towards this mountain cave, swift as lightning, evil energy filling the field.
Tang Yan and Du Yang had some perception, but before they could open their eyes, the rumbling noise suddenly stopped.
Xu Yan's long hair was disheveled, resembling a malevolent spirit, as he stood coldly outside the cave. His right hand was raised at an angle, and with a swift motion, he grasped the throat of the Tiger Eagle. As the king of the fourth-level demonic beasts, the Tiger Eagle was known for its ferocious impact and terrifying strength, but Xu Yan had captured it in an instant. With a sudden burst of power from his wrist, the Tiger Eagle's throat was twisted and deformed, and a massive amount of blood spurted out from its head as its enormous body crashed to the ground.
Tang Yan opened his mouth and sucked in, the life soul of the tiger eagle immediately entered his body. The vitality of the demon beast was already strong, let alone a newly dead fourth-level demon beast, this surge of life soul poured in, Tang Yan felt a refreshing spring wash over his entire body, indescribably comfortable.
Tang Yan's refining process went extremely smoothly, Du Yang's repair was not affected either. Xu Yan stood outside with a poker face, anyone who dared to approach would be punched to death. Two Iron-Backed Hounds that were startled and rushed over here didn't even have time to let out a loud bark before their hearts were smashed into pieces.
A member of the Imperial Guard was killed and swept away by a stick.
Xu Yan didn't use any martial skills, but his strength was so great that it reached a terrifying level.
Rumble!
Suddenly!! The tough mine floor underwent a massive tsunami-like fluctuation, the intense shaking force sent the killing miners and warriors flying, crackling sounds, huge cracks appeared on the ground, densely packed, extending infinitely in all directions, like a suddenly opened monster's mouth, brutally devouring everything above! Not far away, the ground collapsed entirely over a distance of thousands of meters! The miners and warriors above were ruthlessly swallowed up, their cries of despair buried by the rumbling sound of the collapse, the splashing blood shrouded in thick dust.
The Jinghuo Mine is in complete chaos, as if the sky has fallen and the earth has cracked, a scene of utter devastation!
It appeared so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard, even the battlefield where the killing was taking place was affected. Just as they were about to stop and observe, the crack spread over in an instant.
"What's going on?" Tang Yan and Du Yang rushed out of the cave, but before they could react, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, like a snapped branch, without any warning. The three of them fell into the abyss in an instant.
The giant blast furnace finally couldn't withstand the shaking, and the entire thing collapsed, with tens of thousands of tons of mine water rushing out like a burst dam, flooding in all directions, countless miners were submerged, without even having time to scream, they turned into steam.
The mine water surges and rushes towards the crevice.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!! The ground began to collapse in large patches, a doomsday-like scene filled the entire mine.
It's not just the Jinghuo Mine, at this moment, the entire Taiwu Mining Area, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, is experiencing violent tremors. The ten major mines are filled with pits and holes, some as small as a few hundred meters, others as large as several kilometers. Suddenly, one-third of the Blue Crystal Mine collapsed, creating a terrifying scene that even the Martial King couldn't help but gasp in shock, his eyes wide with horror.
The collapse and cracks produced a huge suction and intense dust, in just a few seconds, all objects and lives inside and outside the mine were swallowed up. The dust was sprayed tens of thousands of meters high, even the people fighting above the Jinghuo Mine were swallowed up.
The vast and boundless Taiwu mining area was reduced to ruins in an instant, with large areas of collapse destroying everything!
Coughing violently!! Tang Yan struggled out of the ruins, the golden elephant's protection slowly dispersing, coughing intensely.
The world in front of me is like a chaotic haze, with swirling dust everywhere, and from time to time, huge boulders fall from the sky, shattering into pieces, stirring up strong whirlwinds, flying sand and rocks, as if it were the end of the world.
Du Yang struggled to get up, gasping for breath with difficulty. His petrified body was full of cracks, as if it might shatter at any moment, just like the surrounding rocks that were constantly cracking apart. It could be imagined how heavily he had fallen: "What place is this?"
Xu Yan's situation was much better, but he was also covered in blood. He patted the dirt off his body and slowly walked forward through the ruins: "It looks like... it seems that the entire Jing Huo Mine has collapsed. We're underground, is this a closed space? Or just an ordinary underground layer?"
"We three together, mutually have a support, Du Yang, make good preparations, counterattack at any time." Tang Yan comforted the uneasy Hei Tuan, vigilantly looking around.
Du Yang's body was enveloped in a petrifying glow, and when everything dissipated, his cracked body recovered as before. Xu Yan wanted to find some weapons from the ruins, but except for corpses and rocks, he didn't find anything suitable after searching for half a day.
Three people walked forward, treading on the rubble and debris that covered the ground. Amidst the ruins lay numerous corpses, mangled beyond recognition. The air was thick with the stench of blood. These individuals had either been crushed to death, pulverized by massive boulders, or drowned alive in a torrent of mine water.
Occasionally, people would struggle out of the ruins, including mine slaves, golden armored warriors, and even lavishly dressed imperial guards. All survivors were left dazed and confused by the sudden turn of events, no longer eager to fight, cautiously looking around, gathering in small groups of three to five.
"All the way east!!" The blood doll poked its head out again, its face somewhat excited and solemn, with a hint of urgency.
"What is this place?" Tang Yan noticed the tension of the blood doll.
"It's still unclear for the time being. Do you remember what I told you? The underground of Taiwu Mine is likely to contain something magical, and it's their energy that has given birth to the endless crystals in Taiwu Mine. But after two thousand years of excavation, it should be dug through. Come on, hurry up, go east, I can feel some special energy fluctuations there." Blood Doll urged.
