Chapter 835: Chapter 436 Ambush

“A bunch of old geezers, now only realizing fear?”

“Unfortunately, it’s already too late. Once I break this damned formation, not one of you will be able to escape.”

The mocking voice echoed in the cave, and through the incessantly striking demonic qi, one could barely make out a formation that was already in shambles.

The faces of the gathered human experts were unsightly, among them a black-robed old man said in a deep voice:

“Hong Jiu, even if you break free today, so what? You might have been at the Saint Level in the past, but after being trapped for tens of thousands of years, even if you’re freed now you’re merely at the peak of the Emperor level. Do you truly think you can escape from us?”

The old man clearly knew the identity of the demon beast imprisoned below and spoke without any courtesy.

“To think that you ant-like humans, who aren’t even at the Saint Level, could imagine slaying me, is utterly delusional!”

“Today, I want to see how you intend to kill me!”

The demon beast called Hong Jiu sneered, not taking the crowd seriously at all. As he spoke, the rolling demonic qi formed into a giant hand, repeatedly hammering the formation.

Under the relentless assault of that giant hand, the already overwhelmed formation rapidly spread with more and more cracks.

Demonic Qi rampaged throughout the cave, and outside the palace, dozens of middle-aged men and women could feel the wisps of demonic Qi seeping from underground, their expressions grave.

All of these people were at least at the King-level without exception.

At the same time, outside the Great Yu Imperial City, two figures stood on a small hill overlooking the city, eyes revealing surprise.

“Demonic Qi? There’s a demon beast suppressed under this imperial city too?” the Great Princess exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s not an ordinary demon beast; it’s likely a presence at the peak of the Emperor level,” Su Nan said, unable to help but feel that his timing was quite coincidental.

He had known about the situation in the Great Yu Imperial City for a while, but had previously ignored it, thinking it would have nothing to do with him. But in the end, he still stumbled upon it.

Gazing at the situation within the Imperial City, he had no immediate plans to enter it.

A demon beast at the peak of the Emperor level would not necessarily be someone he could handle, let alone another kind of demon beast.

Glancing at the time, it wasn’t long now until the game refresh.

Su Nan waited quietly, and in the distance, many players were also watching, all aware that the demon beast would soon break free. They were both anticipating the impending battle and being cautiously ready to retreat at any moment.

Inside the Imperial City there was complete silence, and the oppressive atmosphere made it difficult even for the players standing several thousand meters away to catch their breath.

They weren’t kept waiting for too long.

Suddenly, accompanied by a dull booming sound, the previously silent Imperial City suddenly erupted with shouts.

“Everyone, be careful!”

The old man’s voice was thunderous and ear-shaking, instantly jolting everyone awake.

The next moment, the once silent Imperial City instantly boiled over, as surging demonic qi shot up into the sky. The demonic qi twisted and shifted, ultimately taking the form of a middle-aged man clad in black armor.

More than a dozen figures soared into the sky, the power of heaven and earth surged and converged, forming layers upon layers of domains, surrounding the middle-aged demon from all sides.

“Hong Jiu, you can’t escape!”
