88: Chapter 88 The Sword Spirit Appears! Guarding the Nation's Gate!

The dizziness from the spatial displacement vanished in a flash.

Chen You stabilized himself and the first thing he saw was the towering, hundred-meter-high city gate of the White Jade Capital.

The auspicious beasts carved from what looked like white jade on the gate displayed the utmost charm of classical Huaxia aesthetics in every detail.

However, at this moment, before the city gate, it was already a living hell filled with rampaging demons.

That hundred-meter-tall Abyssal Green Water Demon King was sizing up the city wall that kept it blocked outside.

Its huge, turbid single eye slowly rotated, revealing a hint of human-like confusion.

It seemed unable to comprehend.

According to the rules of the Abyss, as the temporary ruler of this polluted land,

With just a single thought, it could teleport all its minions, along with that minuscule bug, next to the civilization pedestal emitting an alluring aura.

But just now, it had failed.

An invisible force had forcefully barred it outside this magnificent White Jade City Wall.

"A large number of high-energy biological signatures have broken through the city wall defense line!"

"Their target is... is the central pedestal!"

In the Second Command Center, Sun Feng's voice trembled uncontrollably.

Everyone knew that their target was Huaxia, which the pedestal was connected to.

On the screens, countless red dots representing monsters had already crossed the symbolic city gate and were frantically surging toward the innermost 'Tian Yuan' position.

And the construction countdown for the city defense structures still had a long... six minutes and thirty-seven seconds!

"Decapitate!"

In a flash of lightning, only these two words remained in Chen You's mind.

The plan remained unchanged!

Capture the king first to capture the bandits!

As long as this leading behemoth was killed, the remaining riffraff would be no threat!

Without the slightest hesitation, he slapped another substitute talisman directly onto his chest.

Whether it could be dispelled or not, having it was better than not having it!

Buzz!

The golden yuhuang sword rose again. Without any probing, Chen You pushed his spiritual power to the extreme, transforming his entire body into a streak of light tearing through the darkness.

He once again unleashed the 'Startling Swan' sword style, aiming straight for the Abyssal Green Water Demon King's single eye!

Facing this tiny human's repeated provocation, a hint of human-like... disdain flashed in the Demon King's turbid single eye.

It didn't even bother to block.

It allowed the golden sword light, powerful enough to pierce mountains, to fiercely stab its eyelid.

Clang—!

A dull, heavy clang echoed.

Chen You felt as if he hadn't stabbed an eyeball, but had crashed into a wall of steel!

His tiger's mouth vibrated violently, and the flying sword recoiled.

The Abyssal Green Water Demon King's eyelid was merely left with a shallow white mark.

[-789]!

A number representing sheer humiliation slowly floated up above the BOSS's head.

Its health bar, displayed as a string of question marks, showed almost no visible change to the naked eye.

Chen You's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

He broke the defense.

But only a tiny bit.

The 'ignore rank suppression' characteristic of the yu huang gave him the qualification to inflict damage on this Level 35 Lord-tier BOSS.

But that was all.

"Roar—!"

The Demon King opened its giant mouth filled with fangs, and a viscous, pale green liquid sprayed out like a high-pressure water cannon!

Chen You's pupils contracted sharply, and with a slight push of his feet, his figure instantly shifted several meters sideways.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The green liquid that struck the floor tile where he had been standing instantly corroded a bottomless pit, emitting nauseating black smoke.

What domineering corrosiveness!

If he took a hit from that, he'd probably see his great-great-grandmother!

While dodging, Chen You frantically calculated.

Based on the damage dealt just now, even if he stood still and attacked, it would probably take at least five minutes to grind it to death.

Five minutes...

His peripheral vision glanced toward the city.

That black torrent of monsters had already advanced nearly a thousand meters!

At most, one more minute!

In one minute, the first monster would reach the civilization pedestal!

At that time, everything would be over!

How to stop them?

Outside the Qinling projection, all weapons were already arrayed and ready.

Once the monsters rushed into reality, artillery fire would pour down.

However, no one knew what the effect would be.

In the Second Command Center, all the experts stared fixedly at the screens, not daring to breathe.

Academician Liu Sicheng and Chief Designer Zhang Bai, two white-haired pillars of the nation, gripped their hands tightly.

The crystallization of their life's work was right before their eyes, yet it was about to be defiled and destroyed by the tidal wave of monsters.

And they could do nothing.

Everyone here could only watch helplessly.

Watching that solitary golden figure, before the hundred-meter-tall Demon King, resemble an ant about to be crushed at any moment.

On the battlefield.

Chen You's eyes were bloodshot.

On one side, a terrifying BOSS that he could barely damage.

On the other, the monster army on the verge of breaking through the final line of defense.

This was a dead end.

"Damn it!"

Chen You suddenly let out a roar of extreme anger, his voice carrying a sense of reckless desperation.

"I'll fight you all to the death!"

He abruptly stopped dodging, allowing another stream of acidic breath from the Demon King to graze past his protective sword wheel, splashing out a burst of dazzling sparks.

He suddenly brought his hands together in front of his chest, forming an arcane sword seal!

"Go!"

With a command,

The two yuhuang swords that orbited him, forming the 'Chaotic Stars' protective sword wheel, let out a high-pitched sword cry.

They instantly detached from guarding Chen You, transforming into two incredibly brilliant golden lightning bolts, shooting toward the sky!

They carved a magnificent arc in the air, soaring over half the city district, like two falling meteors, precisely striking the very front of the black torrent!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The two immortal swords plunged fiercely onto the central plaza of the White Jade Capital, one on the left and one on the right!

Less than a hundred meters in front of the monster army!

Buzz—

Golden light exploded!

Under everyone's gaze, the bodies of the two yuhuang swords began to become ethereal and elongated.

As light and shadow intertwined, two vague human figures slowly condensed and walked out from the sword light.

They were two golden figures, about seventy percent similar to Chen You, but expressionless and entirely composed of pure sword energy.

Transforming swords into spirits, fighting autonomously!

The moment the two sword spirits appeared, without any words, they simply raised their hands silently.

The two yuhuang swords automatically flew into their hands.

The next second.

"Chaotic Stars!"

Two identical second forms of the 'Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique' were unleashed simultaneously!

Countless fine, sharp sword energies erupted from the two sword spirits as the center, forming two death tornadoes with diameters exceeding ten meters!

Nearly a hundred monsters charging at the front didn't even have time to let out a mournful cry before they were sucked into the sword energy storm.

Instantly, they were shredded into scattered flesh across the sky!

Mottled blood stained the pure white plaza black.

An insurmountable line of death composed of sword energy was forcibly constructed before the 'civilization pedestal'!

"They... they stopped them?"

Sun Feng stared at the monster torrent that had been abruptly cut off on the screen and stammered.

One person splitting into two combat strengths, fighting on two battlefields simultaneously?

What kind of divine technique was this?

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief,

Everyone was stunned speechless by another scene on the main screen.

West City Gate.

Chen You, having lost the protection of his dual swords, stood there alone.

All the sword light on his body had receded, leaving only that exquisite ascension daoist robe fluttering in the foul wind stirred up by the Demon King.

"Roar?"

The Abyssal Green Water Demon King's giant single eye also flashed with a hint of confusion.

It didn't understand why this minuscule human would throw away his only weapons.

But that wasn't important.

What was important was that this bug, which dared to provoke it, was now completely defenseless.

A shallow smile appeared on the Demon King's lips.

It slowly raised the giant claw covered in slimy green skin.

On the claw, pale green energy wildly converged, forming a rapidly spinning, heart-stopping energy ball.

The shadow of death enveloped Chen You.

"He's crazy! Why did he throw away his swords!"

In the Command Center, Zhang Yunhai slammed the table and sprang up, his eyes wide with rage.

"Without swords, what is he going to fight the BOSS with? His head?!"

He could guess Chen You's intention, but...

This was tantamount to suicide!

Chen You stared fixedly at the energy ball growing larger and larger, feeling the terrifying power within it capable of destroying everything.

Fine cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He certainly knew how dangerous he was now.

But he had no other choice.

This was the only way to break the deadlock!

Use the sword spirits to hold back the small monsters and buy time for the city defense structures.

Use his own life to hold back this most terrifying BOSS!

"Come on!"

Chen You raised his head and grinned ferociously at the hundred-meter-tall Demon King.

"My defense at the fourth level of Qi Refining is just for you to give me a massage!"

"If you can finish me in one move today, I'll immediately bow down and call you Big Brother!"

He spat on the ground, his eyes filled only with madness and resolve.
