Chapter 74 Cage!
“God—grant us power!”
“God—grant us power!”
The surroundings echoed like an echo. Around the arena, various male and female voices suddenly appeared, chanting softly, praying, their voices rising and falling.
“What’s going on? This is…”
Su Jiu swept his gaze around and found many students wearing Huawen uniforms kneeling, their faces pale as if they were near death.
A rhythmic glow flickered from their stomachs, like some kind of car lights. As the chanting became more intense, the flashing speed increased.
Su Jiu was slightly stunned by this scene, and then reacted, shouting to the surrounding referees and Huawen students: “The Ancient God Sect is sacrificing! Hurry and get out!”
This scene was exactly as depicted in novels. They sold their bloodlines and souls to “gods” from beyond the domain in exchange for some power. More importantly, gathering together like this was not simply exchanging power—it was a sacrifice!
They were sacrificing the person in the center of the arena!
“Jiu ge?” Bai Qianyu looked around, confused. As a student, she had never encountered anything like this.
“No time to explain, let’s go!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stooped and rushed towards the uncomprehending Bai Qianyu, put an arm around her waist, and prepared to run out, her face filled with gravity.
Has the Ancient God Sect gone mad? With two Battle King level powerhouses here, they still dare to carry out such a suicidal attack?!
Just then, dozens of brown light pillars suddenly surged from the kneeling students, soaring into the sky. The light pillars instantly pierced the red shield of Mr. Li, and then connected with each other, forming a polygonal cylinder.
At the top appeared a young man wearing staff clothes, with a silver inverted cross badge on his chest. His zipper was casually open, and he looked at the judging panel with a mocking smile.
“How dare you! Ancient God Sect lackeys dare to cause trouble in broad daylight!”
Mr. Li and Mr. Huang outside suddenly stood up, exchanged glances, and transformed into two streams of light, rushing out. A roar like a tiger and a cry like a crane were heard, and the great bloodline true forms appeared behind the two. However, they stopped within three meters of the young man.
Looking at the light wall in front of him, Mr. Huang looked up, his brows furrowed. As if thinking of something, he said in confusion: “A Battle King level array… What exactly do they want to do? With such a grand gesture, they shouldn’t be looking for bloodline sacrifices.”
He had always known that the Ancient God Sect had a habit of collecting bloodlines, but it shouldn’t be for just a few people. What did they want to do?
“Huang Fusheng, why are you still愣着, hurry up and break the formation with me!”
Mr. Li’s hair and beard were burning like he had entered the Dao. He drew a red flaming saber with a buckle similar to Li Yi’s, but its aura was much stronger than Li Yi’s. Just taking it out caused the surrounding air to burn.
As he grabbed the top, a half-arm ethereal armor was branded into Mr. Li’s hand. With a hint of anger, he directly swung it at the light wall.
However, the attack was like a stone sinking into the sea. He wanted to continue attacking, but Mr. Huang pulled him back, shook his head slightly, and said, “It’s useless. This is a Battle King level array, and the core is inside. It’s likely what those strange students are carrying.”
“Do you want me to watch my grandson die? They are clearly sacrificing to an evil god,” Mr. Li glanced at Mr. Huang, his voice low.
The young man in the staff uniform seemed to see their predicament. He mockingly raised his hands and looked up, saying, “Master will descend soon. I will become His most loyal servant and lead a group of attendants to throw everyone inside into His embrace.”
Mr. Huang looked at the young man opposite him who showed a provocative expression. His eyelids twitched slightly, and then he shook his head, saying, “No, with our strength, it’s impossible to break through from the outside. We can only contact the War God level figures in the nearby provincial capitals to come quickly.”
“Nearby provincial capitals? Do you know how far that is? Even a strong person with the Wing Bloodline would take nearly several hours. Those students inside cannot resist those divine servants,” Mr. Li angrily smashed his saber against the light wall, then sighed inwardly and said, “Alas… we can only look for those Ancient God Sect accomplices outside.”
Mr. Huang’s gaze fell below the light pillars, and he said softly, “Don’t be so pessimistic. I saw that the cultivation of that person just now was not high, maybe only an Initial Stage Battle General. Even after being demonized, it would be at most an Intermediate Stage Battle General. The Battle General level referee below should be able to resist one or two.”
“Let’s hope so…” the old man slowly nodded, his dry hand tightly gripping the saber hilt.
Mr. Huang’s gaze remained unchanged, still looking down quietly.
While he was looking forward to that referee, he was actually counting on Su Jiu more. If Su Xingguo’s words were true—then it was highly likely that they would have to see how long she could hold on.
…
Inside, they couldn’t see what was happening outside at all. Looking at the brown light wall in front of them, Su Jiu narrowed her eyes, slowly approached the light wall, reversed the wine pot, veins popping on the back of her hand, and struck it heavily. “Bang!” The sound was faint, and the light wall did not weaken at all.
The kneeling students had their eyes closed, like glowing sculptures, and a thing like a clock was slightly exposed on their stomachs.
Bai Qianyu pointed at the students’ stomachs and said in surprise, “Is this an alchemy device?”
“It’s similar to the core of an array, and I’m afraid it’s of a high level. We can only wait for people outside to rescue us. From the inside—I don’t know if we can get out.”
Su Jiu nodded slightly, swept her gaze around again, and found that the kneeling students had strangely raised their heads. She then followed their gaze and looked up.
A brown vortex appeared in mid-air, with attracting forces constantly rising around it.
Su Jiu’s gaze gradually became serious: “Vortex, this is the prelude to the descent of an evil god. At that time, He will bestow power upon these sacrificers.”
“No… with only sacrificers, it’s impossible to control the divine descent. There must be another person! A priest is needed!”
Su Jiu’s gaze swept over the people around her. No, no… wait, could it be that her gaze finally fell on the figure walking on the light wall in the sky.
Battle General Level!
The opponent’s aura was constantly rising. Seemingly noticing Su Jiu’s gaze, he then leaped down lightly, unfolding a pair of white wings behind him, and bowed to Su Jiu quite gentlemanly: “If a beautiful lady is willing to listen to the Lord’s teachings, I can consider letting you and the lady beside you go. After all, you are so outstanding, it’s not impossible to become a bishop.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly, and beams of light from the vortex continuously shot towards the kneeling people, their auras strengthening continuously.
Intermediate Stage Warrior!
All the way up to the peak of High Stage Warrior!
They suddenly opened their eyes, their pupils shining with golden light, and slowly moved around the living people like puppets.
The Huawen students around, including the referee, formed a shrinking circle, and their gazes were nervously fixed on Su Jiu. They were somewhat afraid that Su Jiu would actually agree.
If the other party stood by and watched, it would be fine. The most terrifying outcome would be that they would attack them directly for the sake of survival.
Su Jiu looked at the fervor in this priest’s eyes, her eyelids slightly lowered, and under everyone’s gaze, she showed a smile and slowly uttered a word: “Get lost!”
