The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 217 - Against Emperor VI

It was unexpected that the Imperial Palace had been designed in such a way as to withstand various attacks. Explosion after explosion enslaved, even some were so close to the palace pillars. But none of the cracks sounded. Meanwhile, one-nine men started walking. They wear robes with large hoods that hide the entire face.

Xin Chen suspected something. It seemed that Shi Long Xu knew a lot about his strength and had prepared a careful plan. Sure enough, those nine men were mercenary Spirit Controllers. Before them the controlling books began to move. Dozens of soldiers along with Shi Long Xu began to retreat.

"Enjoy your time, my friend."

Exasperated, Xin Chen could not directly break through to the front. Facing a fellow Spirit Controller was indeed quite troublesome.

But it was no big deal to him, the nine spirit controllers were far behind. When hundreds of spirits were summoned by them, Xin Chen could take out hundreds of thousands of his. He pulled out the second stage.

"The Book of Spirit Controllers - The Slaughterer Devil."

The true size of the Slaying Devil was not as big as it is now, the power changed and the spirits became stronger. The black beast that was nearly as tall as the pillar started to make the nine people tremble.

The speech they had just spoken changed with a meaningless vibration, fear. In the instant the spirit swung its weapon, hundreds of summoned spirits were crushed. Only in one attack. They started to fight by calling out more, but it didn't last long because the Demon Slaughterer instantly annihilated them.

Xin Chen had chased after Shi Long Xu a few seconds ago, until he arrived at a courtyard with a small waterfall that descended on the round pond. Seeing the two hundred warriors outside the courtyard had been standing guard there. As soon as Shi Long Xu had been at the end of the palace gate, Xin Chen was unwilling to let go of that person just like that.

Spirit power spread out, Xin Chen no longer cared about the soldier. He created a black line that moved to and fro, bulldozing at the man covered in thick steel. Kill them without leaving a single drop of blood. His steps were getting stifled as many began to get in the way. Xin Chen had no intention of serving them all. But he was already behind, Shi Long Xu fled. Now he had to find the whereabouts of the man.

While chasing Shi Long Xu, Xin Chen stopped catching the silhouette of a familiar. The man in the uniform of the Central Military Faction was in a strange situation, he was mobbed by five people at once. His face was bruised, the blood on his body was the result of a gunshot. Xin Chen recalled how Yu was killed, it would be a great blow to the people of the Southeast Camp. If they also lost Xe Chang, then it was certain that they also lost the figure of a brave leader.

Xin Chen made a difficult decision, letting Shi Long Xu escape and helping Xe Chang. It didn't take long to bring down those five soldiers. Xe Chang leaned against the wall and slowly sat down, his face almost formless. Last night fighting until the morning, I don't know how many he killed.

"Hah-hah ... This is really the case, I swear to serve the Empire. And now all I do is break my own vows. Maybe my father who used to be the leader of the Central Military Faction will slap me in the afterlife... " His laughter was accompanied by a burst of blood coming out of his mouth, he grimaced holding onto the stomach. Xin Chen helped him recover.

"I'll die ..."

But while Xe Chang was still breathing and his spirit was still inside his body, Xin Chen could heal the man's external wounds and make sure he was safe.

"No one allowed you to die. Now you're the only courage left for the people of the Wei Empire. Hang in."

"You healed my wound?! How is it possible so soon?" But in the end Xe Chang tried to understand that all the things he saw from Xin Chen were almost absurd all.

"W-what about Yu? He managed to speak to the Emperor? What did the Emperor say? Will the research be withdrawn?"

Xin Chen did not dare to look at Xe Chang, as the man must have been expecting an answer he wanted. In the end, reality says the opposite.

"Yu is dead, he has conveyed what you want to say. And he died, in the Emperor's hall."

"What?" He confirmed his sitting position, hoping to hear wrongly. But Xin Chen had said it clearly.

"We should use Qiu's way. Instantly kill him all at once, he'll be slaughtered."

"I will look for him and do Qiu's final unfinished task. Did you see Rein?"

"You looking for me?"

The man in a torn shirt here and there like a welcoming thug, he was leaning against the wall. Staring towards Xe Chang and Xin Chen.

"You need my help?"

"Thank God you're safe."

"No intention of finding that traitor?" He twirled a key on his index finger, Xin Chen furrowed his brows. "You better be here looking after Xe Chang, I'll look for him."

"After the death of our chief you told me to sit here quietly as a big baby nurse? It hurts."

He put both hands in his pocket, "I'm coming with you. I know where they're going and have some spare keys to get into the back door." Still staring at Xin Chen, she commented a sly smile. "Don't doubt the power of street rats."

**

"They won't find you here, Your Majesty."

"What about all our preparations? Make sure today goes well. Even if an impromptu attack hinders him, I don't want to know. Everything must remain as prescribed. Where is Qin Yujin?"

Shi Long Xu drank a mouthful of water, feeling his throat back in the waterway. He was sure Xin Chen could not catch up to him because from some reports the young man was left far behind.

"There is an incoming report, Your Majesty, 2301 a barrel has been shed, a great explosion has begun, and access to the underground hideout has been opened. Our people will be exiled there from today until the next three days before closing. Supplies will suffice for the next four months."

Then the reports continued to be read until Shi Long Xu raised a hand as a sign of sufficient. The woman regressed herself politely. Leaving Shi Long Xu who was now supported by the contents of the head that began to rage.

The moment he was waiting for had arrived. He smiled very broadly, staring at the colorful paintings on the walls of the room.

"Dad, don't you find your death useful? By killing you and giving this chair to me, everything you dreamed of could be accomplished very quickly. No need to count years ... I'm so sick of seeing your face, your little conscience makes you tremble. You move slowly like a snail, but sooner or later you will throw away your own people. There's no harm in doing it sooner."

Shi Long was proud, to be at the point he had been waiting for. During his life, his father had planned it all. The second takeover of the Empire, but the dream was very small for Shi Long Xu. He wanted something much bigger. The death of the man was a stepping stone.

"They will submit under our leadership, and in the end what you always aspire to is realized."

But his happiness began to mix uneasily when the shock was felt. Shi Long Xu had a few people confirm, then someone exclaimed.

"A giant is trying to destroy this hideout from the ground."

"Earth Ruler Glare you mean?"

Others asked in anger.

"Black and has many legs. This place isn't safe, we need to get out!"

*

"Here?"

Xin Chen was almost in disbelief as Rein led him into a forest where trees had been cut down. Not feeling human air at all from hundreds of meters away. And after all the place looks more like an abandoned forest ravaged by humans.

"Believe me, they created a supernatural hideout possible and now we could be being watched. But I have one way in, but there's a lot of guards there. Come with me through here."

He pulled out a key.

"Where are they?"

"Just under our feet."

"The story goes that if you have to go through the door and fight with that shitty anchovy."

Xin Chen drew a mischievous smile, not imagining Shi Long Xu's face when something big would eat him all along with his hiding place.

"What's important is that jerk's downstairs."

"What do you want to do?"

Xin Chen touched the ground with both of his hands, a streak of black power spreading on the ground. Xin Chen closed his eyes, trying to use the previous technique to obtain the sight of the spirit. That power gathered in his head, one of his eyes started to see something. Just the ground, the spirit movement he saw so quickly pierced through a sturdy hide protected with thick iron walls, there were several aerial chimneys connected to the top. Xin Chen could see the one person he was indeed looking for.

"That's it."

"It looks like I'm gonna have to step back if I want to live, huh?"

"Find the place as far as possible. I can't guarantee these spirits won't eat you." Rein shuddered in horror and immediately moved to a distant place.

The black line began to give rise to a black leg that moved wildly wagging right-left. Xin Chen was flowing an unkempt force to create the same monster that had destroyed the New Laboratory.

The earthquake was felt, some large trees fell out as the ground below began to shake unstably. A deep crack appeared, the hideout was made deep underground. It is even complete with luxurious roads and facilities. It was not Shi Long Xu who created the place, but rather his own Father. The man had anticipated many things, and was unlucky that everything he had prepared was in vain. Because now the one who took over was the child who had planned his death.

The black octopus monster pushed the iron from underground, devoured it and carried it outside. His numerous legs as usual locked onto his target's target, many humans were trapped inside and began to be devoured. There are still some parts of the hiding place that are likely to have been destroyed and only 70 percent remain.

The monster came down again, picked up the debris and ate it with the humans inside.

Xin Chen had not found Shi Long Xu since he last saw him. He's not dead yet. Rein shouted from a distance, "Chen! He's running away again!"

"This time I won't let you survive, demon."
