After saying that, King Yuan stood up, and bright starlight seeped out from the gap between his eyebrows, and then poured out at an extremely fast speed.
Under the dazzling light, the body of the Source King began to disintegrate and decay bit by bit, but in contrast, the starlight that shone through the cracks gradually condensed together, becoming increasingly bright and dazzling, like a galaxy in the sky.
Under the gaze of Anle, Yuan Zhuo, and all the residents of Yuansheng City, a giant made of starlight stood up in Yuanwang Palace.
The Starlight Giant was incredibly large, ten or even a hundred times the size of an ordinary giant, and it was still constantly expanding. In the blink of an eye, it came into the sight of everyone in the city.
"That, that's..."
"King..."
When people looked at the blurry face, they couldn't help but feel sadness and desolation in their hearts.
"From now on, Yuan Zhuo is the new Yuan King. You must obey the orders of Taoist Fellow Wuxu in order to overcome the difficulties."
The Star Giant lowered his head and gazed at his people below him, as if he was reluctant to leave, but he still looked up at the endless dark night.
In the sticky darkness, greedy and malicious auras were looming.
They whispered in an obscure language and peered eerily at the city below.
Suddenly, a giant fist made of starlight slammed at them, and under the many tiny brilliance, the darkness was temporarily illuminated, and many demons burst open immediately, splashing blood everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the Star Giant rushed into the darkness, like a burning flame, protecting Yuansheng City with its last strength and turning into a star in the night sky.
I can’t stand the feeling of being interrupted by my cat ten times while writing 500 words!
Chapter 316 Dark Night
Looking at the stars gradually dimming in the night sky, the people of Yuansheng City couldn't help but fall into grief and confusion.
No one could have predicted that the king who protected them would suddenly fall on this ordinary night.
"Who killed King Yuan? Who is the murderer?"
"Revenge for King Yuan!"
"Devil! The devil in the darkness is coming!"
After learning of King Yuan's death, the crowd inevitably rioted, and chaos broke out in various parts of the city.
But at this moment, Yuan Zhuo stood up, and a dazzling light burst out from his body, like a rising sun, rising slowly in Yuansheng City.
"Everyone, I will definitely catch the murderer who killed my father later, but now we are facing a powerful enemy, please rush to Yuanwang Palace and fight together!"
His voice was extremely loud and carried an authority that could not be challenged, and it was clearly heard by everyone in the city.
Seeing Yuan Zhuo's figure, the residents in the city seemed to have found their backbone. They quickly calmed down and moved towards Yuanwang Palace.
Yuan Zhuo walked out of the main hall, looked around at the giants with different expressions nearby, and spoke.
"With my father dead and the evil demons coming in full force, the safety of Yuansheng City rests in your hands."
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Yuan Zhuo's eyes: "I know that some of you are proud of being the original people and look down on the ordinary people of Da Zhou, and some of you are devout believers in gods. I don't care about these, but in this war, anyone who disobeys military orders... will be killed without mercy!"
Many giants were filled with awe.
Although Yuan Zhuo's strength was obviously not as good as most of the people present, the determination in his words moved them slightly.
After experiencing the death of his father, the young boy grew up quickly and took on the responsibilities of a king.
Anle stood behind Yuan Zhuo, but he did not feel relaxed.
He looked up at the sky. The figure of the starlight giant was gradually disappearing. In contrast, the darkness seemed to become thicker, and the malice emanating from it became stronger.
This time the invasion of darkness is different from the previous ones. Both the number and strength of the demons are far beyond ordinary nights.
After the death of King Yuan, can these remaining primordial giants really defend this Yuansheng City?
"Your Majesty, we can't hold on."
At this time, a calm old man among the giants said, "Leave the city now. Perhaps we can save more people and leave the fire of Yuansheng City behind."
Genzhuo was stunned for a moment, and looked around at the other original Titans, finding that they all had similar determined expressions.
Another person said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you and the people go first. We, the older generation, will hold the line here! We will catch up soon!"
At this time, residents of the city rushed to the outside of the Source King Palace one after another. There were quite a few giants and half-giants, but there were also many descendants of the third generation.
King Yuan did not expect the invasion to come so quickly, so the evacuation plan has not been fully implemented. Although these civilians have also opened up the divine treasures, their strength is far inferior to the giants who are born with divine powers. The world in darkness is fatal to them!
Faced with this situation, Yuan Zhuo hesitated.
He naturally knew the horror of darkness, but he also knew that most of the giants left behind would not survive.
Yuan Zhuo didn't want to leave like a deserter, nor did he want to sacrifice these uncles to live in disgrace, but he was now the King of Yuan, and he had more than just his life on his shoulders. If Yuan Zhuo made the wrong choice, not only him, but the people of the entire Yuansheng City would be buried with him.
When Yuan Zhuo was confused and hesitant, a gentle and firm voice sounded in his ears.
"Your Majesty, let's go!"
Anle looked at Yuan Zhuo, his eyes calm but reassuring, and said, "Leave the fire behind for the future."
He had personally experienced the onset of darkness and knew that nothing could be done. Only by evacuating could more lives be saved.
Hearing this, Yuan Zhuo's gaze gradually became firm, and he bowed deeply to the many primordial giants.
"Take care, uncles and aunts!"
Afterwards, Yuan Zhuo stood up and said to the civilians outside the palace: "Follow me out of the city, don't separate, women, children and the elderly go first, and the young and strong stay behind to resist the evil demons that are coming to kill us!"
Following his order, the primordial giants mobilized their magic power to lift the civilians who had arrived here and send them out of the city.
Everyone gathered together and moved out of the city. The more times like this, the more they could not disperse, otherwise once they were trapped in the darkness, there would be no chance of survival.
Suddenly, there was a deafening roar, and a huge black shadow fell from the sky in the darkness, smashing a city wall not far away, and then rolled towards the crowd.
An original giant stepped forward, rushed towards the black shadow and attacked fiercely.
In the light emitted by the giant, one can see the tip of the iceberg of the black shadow. It is a black iron ball as big as a mountain, powerful and heavy, roaring towards them with surging force.
boom!
After the giant stepped forward and collided with it, his body could not stop retreating violently, plowing a deep mark on the ground.
But even though the giant's arms were smashed into pieces by the iron ball, he still refused to let go.
Seeing that the iron ball was about to crush the giant, a savage roar came from the Source King Palace. The old giant and the other original people gathered their strength, jumped high, and together they met the falling iron ball.
At the same time, all the masters in Yuansheng City took action and rushed into the surrounding darkness.
In the sticky darkness, more and more strange black shadows appeared.
Those black shadows, whether battlefield killing weapons like iron balls or living demons, poured into Yuansheng City like a tide. Wherever they went, city walls collapsed, houses shattered, and the civilians who had not yet escaped turned into skeletons without any flesh and blood.
"Second brother, what happened? Why did Uncle Yuan..."
At this time, Xuan Gongming hurried to Anle's side and asked while running out of the city.
An Le's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to explain."
"If so many of us flee together, we will inevitably be attacked. I may not be able to protect you in the chaos of war, so you must be careful!"
Xuan Gongming's heart sank when he heard this. In his impression, Anle always looked confident, but this time, it seemed that even his second brother was not completely sure.
As a city governed by one of the five princes, Yuansheng City is definitely a big city. Even though King Yuan had evacuated many civilians in advance, there are still no less than tens of thousands of people in the city at this moment.
They were attracted by the light emitted by the primordial giants, and all gathered and moved towards the direction where Yuan Zhuo was. The crowd was surging and very crowded.
The original giants guarded the periphery, protecting the weak civilians inside, and at the same time used the light emitted from their bodies to dispel the darkness to prevent them from being swallowed by the evil darkness.
Even though most people were aware of the crisis and tried their best to maintain order, there were too many people present. The cries and sobs continued. Some people ignored orders and rushed into the darkness on their own, and then turned into dead bones.
Yuan Zhuo said in a clear voice: "Don't be afraid, I am with you."
His figure was like a beacon, calming everyone's panicked hearts.
After people fled Yuansheng City, the starlight transformed from King Yuan in the sky completely dissipated, which meant that the offensive of the evil army was only about to really hit!
The old giant who smashed the black iron ball returned to Yuan Zhuo and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we will not leave for now. The rest of the journey will depend on you!"
He and five or six giants beside him stopped and looked up at the night sky.
The old giant laughed loudly: "Devil cubs, your grandfather is here!"
These giants stepped on the ground, their divine secret powers roared continuously, bursting out with unprecedented divine light, leaping high into the air, and rushing into the darkness.
There were several faint roars, and then, a bloody rain fell from the night sky. It was the blood of the evil demons.
But the enemies in the darkness seem endless, and even the most powerful primordial giants will eventually be exhausted.
Looking at the lights gradually fading away, Yuan Zhuo's eyes became moist, but he still strode forward.
In the rear, the evil demons were like sharks that had smelled blood, constantly charging towards this side. The original giants were left behind, fighting and retreating, but casualties were still inevitable. Many of them, both the original people and civilians, were swallowed up by the darkness forever.
The giant named Yan Cang who had blocked An Le earlier gnashed his teeth, looked at the people of Yuansheng City around him with ferocious eyes, and shouted: "With all these burdens, our speed is too slow. If this continues, none of us will be able to escape!"
"Just abandon them and retract the divine light. We still have a chance of survival!"
The other original giants were furious: "Yan Cang, how can you say such a thing?"
Yan Cang sneered and said, "We, the original people, are the real masters of this land, but we have to fight for our lives and guard day and night for these descendants who regard us as aliens. Is this fair?"
"Among all of you present here, I am definitely not the only one who has the same idea!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many original giants flickered, the civilians showed uneasy expressions, and the baby in the arms of the woman started crying, making the atmosphere even more depressing.
Yan Cang looked at Yuan Zhuo and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please stop being stubborn."
Yuan Zhuo shook his head and said, "How can you abandon the people for your own life? There is no such person in my Yuan family!"
"Father would not want me to become such a source king, so don't mention this matter again."
He looked at Yan Cang sternly and said solemnly: "This is... my order!"
Yan Cang sneered twice, but said no more.
More and more evil demons emerged from the darkness at the rear. Anle also came to the rear of the team, holding up Yangyang. The Zhenyang Stone emitted a soft light, like an invisible barrier, resisting the sticky darkness and covering the team's progress.
However, the appearance of the Zhenyang Stone instead stimulated the evil spirit to suddenly riot.
A strange and obscure whisper sounded, and a black shadow attacked like a ghost, with the most fierce killing move at the first move. Anle's magic power burst out, urging Yangyang to slash at the incoming evil demon.
【Sword Slaying Immortals Picture! 】
As the sword flashed, several black shadows were split in two, as if even the darkness could not cover its sharpness.
But more dark shadows came one after another, and many monks and giants came forward to fight a bloody battle, and people were more or less injured.
Suddenly, someone's body was torn apart by the black shadow and was quickly dragged into the darkness, turning into a pile of bones. A trace of sadness welled up in Anle's heart. It was a giant who had previously stopped him from finding the Source King.
Everyone fought and retreated, and after an unknown amount of time, the evil spirits temporarily disappeared, allowing people to catch their breath.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet, with only low whispers in the darkness.
Anle took out the pills from the storage bag and shared them with the injured around him.
A primordial giant slumped on the ground and grinned, "Don't waste your medicine on me. My leg is broken, so let me stay here to cover your retreat. Maybe I can kill a few more demon cubs."
His legs were smashed into a pulp, but he was still able to laugh.
Anle walked to a monk who was not a giant. There was a big hole in the monk's abdomen, the foundation of his divine possession was destroyed, and he was barely breathing.
He raised his head and said with a smile: "Senior Wuxu, I have attended your classes in Xuantian City, but unfortunately I didn't learn the magic well, so the evil demon found a flaw and killed me with one blow. I really want to see more innovations in magic..."
Before Anle fed the pill into his mouth, the monk had already died.
Anle looked around in shock and found that the number of the original giants had been reduced to half, and all the monks who were still able to fight were injured.
However, the night is still very long.
Not long after, the evil demons attacked again, and this time they were particularly ferocious.
A slender black shadow rushed into the battlefield swiftly, like an ancient dragon, and scattered the people of Yuansheng City.
Anle and Xuan Gongming stayed by Yuan Zhuo's side and were not separated too far, but the number of people around them was decreasing, so Yan Cang had to go out to fight, and even Yuan Zhuo joined the battle.
"Fellow Daoist Wuxu, can you lend me your Zhenyang Stone?"
A giantess holding a baby asked softly, "My husband has died in the battle. Now, it's my turn."
Anle handed Yangyang to her woodenly, while the female giant handed the sleeping baby to a young half-giant and said with a smile: "Take good care of your sister. From now on, you are the adult."
Anle moved forward with the survivors in the team. The young half-giant looked back and saw the female giant and the Zhenyang Stone disappearing into the darkness.
Not long after, Yangyang flew out from the darkness, his silver-gray body covered in blood.
