"Or remove all the timed high-explosive bombs we have placed?"
"No one can escape, everyone should go to see my father!"
His voice became increasingly frantic, echoing throughout the empty underground base.
Suddenly, He Caitou's body felt lighter and he felt a huge force grabbing his neck and lifting him up. He struggled to look at the other person. It was Huo Yuhao who was gritting his teeth.
"He Caitou, no, Xu He, have you forgotten your last name?"
"For your revenge, you want to drag all the innocent people of Mingdu to their deaths. Are you still a human being?"
"people?"
He Caitou was stunned for a moment, then laughed hoarsely, "I am no longer a human being. I turned into a ghost that night ten years ago!"
"Innocent? Those ignorant people don't care who the emperor is. Have they ever cared about my father's death? Why should I care about them?"
"Yuhao, I'm sorry, I just can't wait any longer. I need to avenge myself personally!"
Card--
The Ice Emperor's Tortoise crushed He Caitou's neck.
Until his death, He Caitou kept that crazy smile.
It was not until the moment of his death that he finally became himself.
He is the vengeful prince Xu He who bears a blood feud, not the honest second brother and Cai Tou of Shrek and Tang Clan.
"Your Majesty, I will come to see you right away!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Bo cried out in shock, fell to the ground and died, choosing to end his life.
Without caring about the lives of the two, Jing Hongchen shouted, "Lin Jiayi, go to the underground warehouse and open all the shields. Everyone else, go to the ground and gather the students. Fly as high as possible. Quickly!"
After issuing the final order, Jing Hongchen turned into a stream of red light and disappeared into the underground base.
Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou's corpse. The anger and murderous intent in his eyes did not dissipate with He Caitou's death, but became more and more intense.
For a moment, annoyance, regret, grief, rage... several negative emotions filled my heart.
But he had no time to sigh or vent, instead he used all his soul power to strengthen his spiritual detection.
"Mr. Yin, can we use space magic to jump directly to where the armory is?" Huo Yuhao asked anxiously.
"No, you don't know the location of the armory, so you can't use space magic." Old Yin asserted.
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth unwillingly.
The thick strata and the special metal material blocked mental detection, making it impossible for him to directly sense the location of the underground arsenal, nor could he find the timed high-explosive bombs placed by He Caitou and others, let alone eliminate them.
Two minutes is not enough to get anything done.
"Yuhao, is that thing the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell? So scary..."
Tian Meng looked down at the cave with concern. Even the Ice and Snow Emperors were afraid of this terrifying aura.
"I have a feeling that if the energy of those things explodes, even I will not be spared. I am afraid that this city will really be destroyed."
Huo Yuhao stood beside the cave entrance, staring into the deep darkness with a cold expression.
……
Jing Hongchen flew out of Mingde Hall and landed at the fastest speed in a luxurious courtyard next to Sun and Moon College. This courtyard was the ground entrance to the central arsenal.
Opening the underground warehouse storing the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells requires the presence of more than half of Mingde Hall's ninth-level soul guides at the same time. There is no way he can call back those ninth-level soul guides within two minutes.
Therefore, he could only come to the central arsenal and eliminate those time-detonated high-explosive bombs as quickly as possible.
With his natural ability to control metal, which is the same as Xiao Hongchen's, there is still a possibility of stopping it as long as those timed high-explosive bombs are destroyed in time.
Just now, the first timed high-explosive bomb used as a salute had already sounded, attracting the guards guarding the armory to come and check the situation.
The leader among them was a tall, thin, dark-skinned old man. He was one of the confidants of the Sun and Moon Emperor, Prince Xu Guozhong, and also a ninth-level soul mentor.
He alone had all the keys to the armory.
Jing Hongchen shouted loudly: "Quick, Xu Guozhong, open the door of the warehouse quickly."
Xu Guozhong was about to open the door, but when he heard Jing Hongchen's words, he frowned, stopped what he was doing with an unhappy look on his face, and asked in a cold voice: "Jing Hongchen, what are you doing here?"
Xu Guozhong is a typical miser with an outrageous collecting habit. His greatest pleasure is to count the treasures in the warehouse. He has long regarded this arsenal as his own.
But recently, many soul guides in the arsenal were withdrawn by the army, which made him very dissatisfied.
Today, when he met Jing Hongchen, who had always been at odds with him, his already bad mood became even more unhappy.
"There is no time to explain. Open the warehouse door quickly. The explosion just now may happen again. It will be very dangerous if we continue like this. We must rush into the warehouse to check the situation." Jing Hongchen made short work of it, his face full of anxiety.
But the more anxious he acted, the slower Xu Guozhong acted, not wanting to let Jing Hongchen get his way: "Jing Hongchen, what do you mean? Do you want to order me around?"
This kind of person is very common. Even though they have something important to do right now, they deliberately slow down their pace, as if the more anxious others are, the happier they are.
"I'm telling you, Jing Hongchen, if you want to mobilize the rare metals and soul guides in this warehouse, you must have the emperor's order."
"Otherwise, even if you are the head of Mingde Hall, you have no right to enter unless I agree."
After saying that, he looked at Jing Hongchen with some contempt.
Jing Hongchen was furious. In the past, she would treat Xu Guozhong with courtesy due to his princely status, but today she pointed at his nose and cursed, "Xu Guozhong, are you fucking mentally ill?"
"Were you deaf and didn't hear that loud explosion just now?"
As he said this, he was about to break into the warehouse.
Xu Guozhong was so angry that his beard was shaking. He was a prince and even the crown prince respected him very much. He had never been insulted like this in person.
He also pointed a finger at Jing Hongchen: "Jing Hongchen, who do you think you are?"
"Do you think you are the high and mighty Master of Mingde Hall?"
"I tell you, Jing Hongchen is just a dog of my Xu family."
"When will it be your turn to act insolently in front of me?"
This sentence completely angered Jing Hongchen. He finally couldn't stand it anymore and immediately pulled out a dense gun barrel beside him: "Xu Guozhong, fuck, open the door for me!"
Xu Guozhong was stunned and said in panic: "Protect the emperor!"
There were a total of seven senior soul instructors beside him, all standing in front of Xu Guozhong.
Although Xu Guozhong is also a ninth-level soul master, his cultivation level was raised by taking peerless medicine, so he is far from being a match for Jing Hongchen. At this moment, with the guards beside him, he is full of confidence and looks proud: "Jing Hongchen, you are worthy of fighting with me!"
"You..." Jing Hongchen gritted his teeth with a distorted expression. He never expected that Xu Guozhong would choose this time to disgust him.
Just as he was about to force his way in, a terrifying energy wave suddenly came from under the floor.
Jing Hongchen's face changed drastically, and he no longer cared about anything. He immediately discarded all the gun barrels beside him and activated all his defensive soul guides at the same time, not daring to keep any of them.
Xu Guozhong looked teasing, and was about to continue mocking Jing Hongchen: "Jing Hongchen, you..."
boom--
Before he could finish his words, the entire courtyard disappeared in a violent explosion.
……
In Mingde Hall, Tianmeng kept persuading: "Yuhao, if the explosion is really that terrible, run away quickly. Run into two planes, and you will be safe even if the whole city is blown up."
Huo Yuhao’s anger had gradually subsided, and he said calmly: “It’s easy for me to keep myself out of trouble, but this disaster was indirectly caused by me.”
"It is because of me that the Jiubao Liuli Sect cooperated with Mingde Hall and created so many level nine fixed-type soul guide shells."
"He Caitou let him blow up Mingdu because of my negligence and indecision."
"Then I have some obligation to stop this."
After saying that, he took a step forward and jumped down the hole leading to the death express train.
Chapter 367 Speed of Life and Death
Outside Mingde Hall's underground warehouse, a short and fat figure was walking quickly, injecting all his soul power into his body and opening one soul guide shield after another.
This was Lin Jiayi, who was sent by Jing Hongchen to carry out the final mission. He moved quickly and raced against time.
When He Caitou and the other two attacked Mingdetang, Mingdetang immediately went into alert status, and the underground warehouse with the highest danger level was instantly covered by a layer of golden transparent barrier.
This is a large-scale ninth-level defensive soul guide, called the Golden City Guard. Ten Golden City Guards are tightly spliced together to form an airtight octagonal column.
All eight directions, up, down, and horizontal, are taken into consideration.
Each of the Golden City Guardians is equipped with several of Mingde Hall's latest sealed milk bottles, thus creating an extremely powerful and indestructible large-scale protective array.
Even a Super Douluo cannot break through this layer of defense, which is enough to isolate the terrifying killing weapons stored in the underground warehouse from the world.
Sweat had already covered Lin Jiayi's forehead and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, but he didn't dare slow down any movements of his hands.
However, indestructible is just an exaggeration. Lin Jiayi knows very well that if the central arsenal is detonated, the tens of thousands of fixed artillery shells of different levels stored in it will all explode, and these golden city defenses in front of him will not last for a few seconds before they will be shattered.
At that time, all the ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided shells stored in the underground warehouse will be detonated.
Mingdu, this megacity with a population of over ten million, will instantly turn into a ghost town.
The defensive capabilities of the shields outside the underground warehouse are far inferior to those of the Golden City, but Lin Jiayi still holds on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that those shields can reduce the power of the arsenal explosion so that it will not affect the underground warehouse.
A sense of despair rose in his heart.
The power of the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells is so terrifying that in order to prevent anyone from calling them without authorization, more than half of the ninth-level soul guides in Mingde Hall must be present at the same time to unlock the Protection of the Golden City.
But now, these rules, which were originally established for safety, have become a curse that will destroy Mingdu.
In the two minutes before the explosion, Jing Hongchen had no chance of calling over several other ninth-level soul masters.
Lin Jiayi did not run away. He had to do something before the explosion.
After Mingdetang entered the alert state, these shields were all in a semi-triggered state, and only one action was required to activate them.
While activating the protective shield, Lin Jiayi shouted commands into the voice-transmitting soul guide in his hand.
"Sun Moon Academy has entered the highest alert state. All students who can use flying soul guides must quickly take to the air and evacuate."
"Teacher Chu, activate the newly researched large-scale flying soul guide. Teacher Luo, gather all the junior students to take shelter, quickly!"
The order was issued quickly, and no one dared to question the words of the dean of studies, and the escape was organized according to the drills conducted every year.
Lin Jiayi ended the call and gave a bitter smile with some despair.
Soul guide device research accidents often occur in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, so escape drills are conducted every year to deal with these accidents.
