Chapter 732 Ahead...No Passing!

Birdsong accompanied the breeze from outside the window, followed by the morning sun shining into the dark room.

Nuo Kexi, who had slept on her stomach on the table for two hours, slowly got up with her head propped up, and heard a burst of playfulness coming from outside the house.

Shaking his head, Nuo Kexi, who was still a little groggy, first glanced at the instruments that were still running in the room, then pushed open the creaking wooden door, and turned his head to look outside the room.

"Mana? Are you going out?"

"Why are you still bringing Hastings..."

Nuo Kexi glanced at his wife and son who were dressed for going out with some surprise, and asked weakly.

"Because of the ceremony, this may be our last family gathering..."

"All the blood of the royal family will participate. This is the last farewell."

Mana, who was pale, forced a smile, her eyes full of pain.

Hastings on the side didn't feel the sadness of his mother at all, just holding hands while lowering his head and teasing the purple chameleon on his shoulder.

For children, it is still too difficult to understand the emotion of sadness.

"..."

Noxi was silent for a while, then nodded, and asked casually: "I remember the ceremony is tomorrow, but the people in the city are now evacuated to the suburbs like us... Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, you haven't rested for a long time, and the non-royal blood entering the city now may affect tomorrow's ceremony."

Mana shook her head, and then smoothed the drooping hair on one side of her cheek, "I'll ask you to prepare dinner, Darling."

"Well, put it on me, and let you see my craftsmanship."

Waving his hands to say goodbye to his family, Noxi leaned against the temporary wooden house and looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

As the afternoon approached, Noxi, who was looking down at the documents in his hand, heard a beep from an instrument in a corner of the room.

Pushing away the chair and standing up a little bit, he walked quickly to the instrument, and slowly picked up the test record that was rolled out from one side.

"Let me see, what exactly is the composition of the liquid medicine..." Noxie looked down at the record.

Then the pupils shook violently like an earthquake.

"This is impossible!"

Looking at the record report, which only had a few lines of data, Noxie's whole body began to tremble violently.

"Except for the juice that acts as a coloring agent...it's all water."

"In other words, the so-called special medicinal liquid for rituals is useless from beginning to end!"

"but why?"

Noxi gasped for breath, clenched the report in his hand tightly, and couldn't help but start thinking wildly, "Since these medicinal liquids are useless, what is the purpose of Wang deliberately creating these illusions?"

Wait, illusion?
Just now Mana told herself that because of tomorrow's ceremony, all the blood of the royal family will gather in the central area of ​​the royal city today for a final farewell, then...

not good!

Nuo Kexi, who suddenly realized the truth of some things, exploded with zhenqi all over his body in an instant, smashed the door frame on one side regardless, and rushed towards the direction of Wangcheng.

Along the way, under the command of the soldiers, crowds and carriages began to evacuate the royal city everywhere, among them there were even many acquaintances who greeted Noxie.

But at this moment, he couldn't take care of these things at all.

The body turned into a blue thin line, and Noxi activated her own [Time Stop] ability, constantly cooling down the fatigue of the body, and keeping the speed above the highest haste.

Without taking a breath, he insisted on running for a full ten kilometers, and rushed into the huge, towering, completely open city gate.

Must catch up!
Nuo Kexi, who was about to burst into tears, leaped high and jumped onto the roof of one side of the house, and then stepped on the tiles under his feet and rushed straight three kilometers away. The royal court area surrounded by many granite rock walls.

The illusory blue light flashed one after another, and Noxi crossed the three-kilometer space again almost in the blink of an eye, and came to the inner city wall that he was almost looking up at.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I always feel that the city wall that I'm used to is far taller than it used to be.

At the same time that Noxi was looking at the city wall, a thin figure sitting in a wheelchair came into view silently.

King Shuret——Shoguret

"When the attendant told me that the wine cup was not found, I probably guessed what was going on."

In the gusts of cold wind, Xiu Gulet propped up one side of his cheek, condescendingly overlooking the tiny figure under the inner city wall, with a complicated expression flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"But your reaction speed is much faster than I imagined. Should it be said that you are the talent I am optimistic about?"

"Wang... what are you going to do?!"

Looking at King Shurad at a height, Noxi suppressed the anger and anxiety in his heart, and roared loudly.

"Don't you know what to do?"

Under Noxie's trembling sight, Huguret, who was originally extremely weak, stood up from the wheelchair little by little.

Some kind of inconceivable life energy began to pour out from his dead wood-like body, and flowed to all the limbs in the blink of an eye.

Soon, with the sound of the clothes being stretched apart, a giant man with an old face but with highly bulging muscles appeared in Noxi's eyes.

"You have probably heard the rumor that if you want to reach the realm of [King], you need to cut off the continuation of your own blood from the root, and you need to absorb a sufficient number of life sources at the same time."

In Noxie's perception, the life energy in his body rose as high as the sun, King Shurad raised his hands and said: "Unfortunately, this matter is true."

"But if you think about it, you can see that even with the same bloodline, if I can reach the realm of [King] simply by relying on the sacrifice of 500 people, then I won't be trapped in this old body for so many years."

"Everything needs to be exchanged at an equal value. If you want to obtain the kind of power that one person can fight against one clan, naturally all the royal family needs to sacrifice for it."

Xiu Gulet spoke extremely cruel words as if no one was there, watched the increasingly distorted and hideous expression on Noxie's face, and sighed:

"In order to usher in a new era of human civilization, the sacrifice of the Shureid royal family is worthwhile, but it is a pity that we will never see that day."

After finishing speaking, Xiu Gulet glanced at the bright red light constantly emerging in the royal court behind him, and said in a low voice, "There are still 3 minutes, and the ceremony will start."

"Although it's a pity to meet you at such a time, the road ahead... is forbidden."

King Schrader said with a ferocious aura visible to the naked eye, lowering his hands.

Almost at the same time, Noxi turned into a flash of blue light, held up a certain four-meter-long giant sword, and slashed at the top of Xiu Gulet's head condescendingly.

"Go away, Huguret!"

The sharp blade mercilessly slashed at Xiu Gulet's crossed arms, but in an instant, countless dazzling sparks sputtered out.

In Noxie's horrified expression, King Schrader, who was almost three meters tall, clasped the former's head with one hand, and then mercilessly threw it towards the distance.

In the mighty shock wave, the continuous buildings collapsed, and after that, a turbulent cloud of smoke and dust was raised.

"I've made it very clear, Noxie."

Arms crossed and hugged in front of his chest, Huguret, whose upper body was bare, said calmly:
"Ahead... no traffic."
