Chapter 4024 The Song of Purple Moon (75) — She couldn't just go with him without making any preparations!
It was as if the darkness had been dispelled.

A golden light suddenly emanated from Schneizel's body, and in an instant, a large amount of gray mist dissipated from his body!

When the commander of the courtyard guards opened his eyes again, his pupils were almost like crystals, possessing endless indifference... as indifferent as a true, high and mighty god.

The guards waiting in the rear all watched... Did this mean that the Commander's gamble was over?
Xiao Meng slowly opened her eyes, her face showing no particular expression, but rather appearing quite languid—she even stretched vigorously, letting the buttons on her chest stay taut.

She smiled at Schneizel, "Mr. Guardian, although we didn't reach 1 million attempts before it ended, thank you for the treat. After all... it was quite a satisfying round!"

Schneizel simply hummed in response, "You may go in now."

The guards on standby were all moved—meaning that Lord Schneizel had lost this gamble?

They lost to the [Root Demon] faction?
That was a bet of 1 million, and it's already over in such a short time?
"Then I'll go in~!" Xiao Meng put her hands behind her back and walked briskly past Xiu Nigel.

"Wait a minute," Schneizel suddenly called out.

Xiao Meng was taken aback. "Um... Guard, are you going to back out?"

Schneizel simply said, "I can let you in, but you'll have to follow my rules."

Xiao Meng's eyes immediately became very clear, and then she was immediately bound by Schneizel—using a dark gold chain.

The commander of the royal gardens said expressionlessly, "I will keep a close watch on you. Let's go."

"Hey? That's too much of a cheating, Mr. Guard!"

—So what if I beat you for fifty million and one more time!

—But Mr. Guardian, haven't you won more than ten million times?
—It's really impressive that you've won against her so many times!

"Whether you come in or not is up to you," Schneizel said indifferently. "The [Root Demon] has no right to negotiate with me."

As a student of the Imperial Sword King, Schneizel possessed his own pride—even losing a bet to the [Root Demon] was no big deal, as gambling was not his forte.

Xiao Meng simply puffed out her cheeks slightly and said in a wronged tone, "Guardian, you'd better be gentle."

Schneizel completely ignored it—this outcome was solely due to His Highness's request, and as the commander of the courtyard's guards, he had his own principles.

However, the orders of the royal family supersede this principle... especially since His Highness is the future emperor of the empire.

"My lord, it seems something is trying to break into the courtyard." A guard hurried over.

Beside this guard was a semi-transparent screen—on which was a scene of maze roots entwining the [Sea of ​​Flowers] orb.

Schneizel glanced at it and then paid it no mind.

As the most elite guards in the courtyard, they wouldn't have been alerted if it weren't for the appearance of the [Root Demon]... Basically, the next level of silver-haired guards could handle most things.

"Ignore it," Schneizel said calmly. "The silver-haired guards can handle it. Besides, there's still Yuga, isn't there? He's here to serve his sentence, not to retire. That old thing is too idle; he needs to be made to do something... We need to get back to His Highness as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Then, Schneizel led... and escorted Xiaomeng into the courtyard.

……

……

……

……

"【Radiant King】?"

Seeing the [Radiant King] shooting a sneak attack, Ah Xiruo frowned—she remembered that this guy had been destroyed by Testarossa, so how did he reappear?

"Xi Ruo!"

But before Ah Xi Ruo could think it through, a familiar voice came from below—the voice of [Xiang Fei Hu].

Seeing Li Huamei again brought Long Xiruo a sense of relief.
Li Huamei arrived, along with Ms. Black Cat... but the other two were accompanied by an extremely short, green-clad, and strangely shaped fellow.

"When did this strange guy appear again?" she asked instinctively.

Li Huamei quickly replied, "I'll explain when I have time!"

Then, golden flames flashed across [Xiang Fei Hu]'s arms as he donned a pair of golden gauntlets, clearly indicating his intention to join the battle and team up against [Guang Hui Wang]!
The moment she stepped out of the sea of ​​flowers, she and the witch almost instantly returned from their mortal bodies to their immortal state, their bodies flowing smoothly.

...The proof of the hegemon seems to have become much more solid?
The golden gauntlets on her arms were now emitting a different kind of fluctuation than usual, as if some changes had occurred without her knowledge—but her intuition told her that these changes were positive.

[Xiang Feihu] took a deep breath and stared directly at Raizo not far away, saying in a deep voice, "Mr. Raizo, it seems that you still have many things to hide from us."

"Hide?" Raizo simply shook his head slightly. "Don't flatter yourself. We're not that familiar with each other; we've only met once."

Li Huamei: "It seems all of this is related to you? Although I don't know what you're planning to do, don't forget that the person who rescued you from the seal was my family's captain! My captain is still in the [Huahai], his fate unknown! Yet you want to attack [Huahai], is this how you treat your benefactor?"

Raizo, however, disagreed. "That guy who calls himself the Pirate King is indeed quite farsighted, but to call him a benefactor is probably not quite right. At most, it was just a lucky accident. He didn't have any intention of saving anyone, so why should I be grateful?"

[Xiang Feihu] was decisive at this moment, the radiance of the Conqueror's Proof shining on her face, "What a twisted mind! Since that's the case, then let me correct you!"

Upon hearing this, the witch rubbed her temples—Here it comes, [Soaring Tiger]'s special skill, I think you should agree!

As for gratitude... Miss Witch can actually be quite flexible in this regard.

……

In response to [Shohiko]'s remarks, Raizo simply chuckled lightly, "Speaking of which, I'm quite curious about someone like you... what are you afraid of?"

Li Huamei frowned instantly.

Raizo stretched out his hand and quickly snapped his fingers.

Instantly, a dark golden pupil, about one meter in diameter, appeared above his head. "Then let me see!"

"You can actually control the maze?" Li Huamei was shocked.

Raizo chuckled and said, "What do you mean 'I actually'? Have you all forgotten? I designed the labyrinth myself; I am its creator... It's alright to tell you, I am now completely one with the labyrinth. I am the labyrinth, and the labyrinth is me."

“Merge…” Ah Xi Ruo frowned. “You’ve merged with the maze? What about Little [Mimi]?”

"Oh, you mean that wild consciousness that was born in the labyrinth?" Raizo shook his head dismissively. "That kind of trash doesn't deserve to exist in the labyrinth I created myself. Useless things were wiped out long ago."

Ah Xiruo's face immediately darkened.

Although she didn't particularly like Little [Mimi], it was something the dead man had given her... and that's how it ended.

Shenzhou's True Dragon sneered, "Raizo, is it? I had no grudge against you before, but now I have a reason to beat you up."

“I know you’re very powerful, even able to evade the gaze of the Nightmare Labyrinth.” Raizo suddenly narrowed his eyes. “However, just as you said, we have no grudges against each other… In fact, I might even be able to help you fulfill your wish.”

"...What did you say?" Ah Xiruo was stunned.

Raizo immediately spread his arms wide. "My purpose is only to evolve! To evolve into the [Weapon of the Other Shore]! The labyrinth that has completed its evolution has infinite power. It can project any thought in one's heart, including your wishes, and they will become reality! As long as you obey me and stay in the labyrinth, you can obtain any wish in your heart."

Ah Xiruo fell silent immediately, "..."

"What, haven't you already witnessed the power of the labyrinth?" Raizo said with a light laugh. "The labyrinth, having evolved once more, will only become more powerful. There's nothing to hesitate about."

"Pfft... Hahahahahahaha!!!!"

Just then, the true dragon of Shenzhou suddenly burst into laughter, almost laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Raizo's expression turned blank.

"Sorry, sorry." Ah Xi Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and stopped laughing. "I'm really sorry, I just heard the funniest thing this year... What did you just say? Say it again? You can grant me any wish, as long as I obey you? I'm telling you, you probably don't know what my man does, do you?"

"Are you questioning me?" Raizo frowned, his gaze turning gloomy.

Ah Xiruo waved her hand, "There's nothing to question, you wouldn't understand even if I explained. It's just that what you said seems to me like giving up a gold mine for picking up a sesame seed, nothing more."

“You can’t talk about ice with a summer insect.” Raizo’s face turned completely cold. “How could you possibly know the true greatness of my labyrinth? Originally, I reserved a place for you because you were the ones who broke the seal and let me out, but now it seems I don’t need it anymore.”

Without a second thought, Ah Xi Ruo pointed out a finger.

The "dragon energy" converged into a beam of light and shot out, directly shattering the dark golden pupil that Raizo had summoned.

"You said you've merged with the maze, right?" Ah Xi Ruo sneered, "So that means when I attack this maze, it's the same as attacking you? That's easy!"

The sword in his hand was raised high in an instant, and thousands of sword lights floated around him. They shot towards the roots that had climbed onto the [Sea of ​​Flowers] light sphere, cutting down the thick roots as if they were mowing grass!
Raizo's face darkened immediately... Actually, it did hurt, it really hurt, but the pain was only a minor thing—what really bothered him was the humiliation he felt!
……

"Is this little girl your friend?"

Yuga suddenly glanced at the witch.

Upon hearing this, the witch quickly replied, "...Not really, we just met on the road."

Yuga stared at Ah Xiruo's figure, his brows furrowed, as if muttering to himself, "Strange, who is she, and why does she possess the aura of the [Infinite Dragon]..."

"Senior, what did you say?"

Yuga ignored her, his gaze growing increasingly serious—clearly, this woman, emanating that peculiar aura, had also just emerged from the royal courtyard.

However, Yuga had no idea when the other party had entered the courtyard.

It can only be said that as a gardener and inmate in the ordinary district, he does have some authority in the courtyard, but not much... and in many aspects, he is not as powerful as an intelligent life form like [Rambo].

Since he is not a servant of the Empire, Yuga does not need to memorize the information of all the nobles and above in the Empire like Rimbaud did.

As someone who rose from humble beginnings to become a war hero and recipient of the Imperial Medal, Yuga was not fond of the Imperial nobility and did not interact with them much—in contrast, the nobility did not particularly like him either.

Suddenly, an ominous aura emerged, causing Yuga's expression to change slightly.

……

Raizo naturally wouldn't let the other side destroy the roots of the labyrinth. With a thought, [Radiant King] made his move instantly!
Even the Divine Dragon in its [Holy Mark] state possesses absolute violence!
"A defeated opponent!"

The true dragon of China couldn't help but sneer.

The Radiant King remained unmoved. At this moment, he was like some kind of puppet, continuously firing terrifying arrows from his longbow!

"A trivial skill!"

The true dragon of Shenzhou instantly drew his sword.

In an instant, dragon energy surrounded him and ignited, transforming him into a burning crimson dragon!

—Emperor's Sword Technique: Fire Dragon Soars Through the Nine Heavens!

--go!

roar--!!

The fiery dragon roared, and under its terrifying heat, even the roots of the labyrinth were dried out—facing an opponent of the caliber of the [Radiant King], Ah Xi Ruo no longer simply relied on brute force to achieve miracles!
Back in the day, there wasn't a single person in the entire land who could make her use her [skill]—not counting the black-hearted maid!
……

"Holy crap... this violent maniac, was he holding back before?"

Miss Witch was almost numb from watching this—damn it, the cockpit being smashed was no wonder.
But Yuga, standing to the side, simply said, "This swordsmanship is not bad."

Just...not bad?
Miss Witch felt a chill run down her spine. What kind of bastard is this old guy?

……

"Xi Ruo, you are indeed very strong!" [Xiang Fei Hu] took a deep breath, and golden flames instantly erupted from his golden gauntlets. "I can't fall behind either!"

In an instant, [Shohiko] charged directly towards Raizo.

"Do you think I only have one [Radiant King]?"

Raizo waved his hand instantly.

Suddenly, a black shadow blocked [Shoshi Tiger]'s path—it was none other than Claude's fear creation projection!

—The Demon King [Windham]!
"All projections of fear are my servants!" Raizo chuckled. "This is one of the original demon lords of the ancient hell. Enjoy!"

"What……"

A terrifying impact crashed down instantly... This demon king's projectile was probably no weaker than that of their own captain!
……

"Hua Mei?"

Shenzhou's True Dragon frowned, brandishing his sword and preparing to turn the tide and rush to the rescue, but unexpectedly, the [Radiant King]'s shooting suddenly increased more than tenfold!
"what?"

The true dragon of China immediately froze!
Before anyone knew it, the [Radiant King] had gone from one to two, two to four, and then to eight!

"Do you think I can only project one of the same creations of fear?" Raizo smiled calmly. "I can create an infinite number of things that are recorded in the labyrinth... This is one of the abilities I hid from the labyrinth back then!"

—The prerequisite is that there must be enough energy!
However, the roots had already absorbed a lot of the power of the [Sea of ​​Flowers] earlier, so they could withstand this kind of consumption!
The eight projected [Radiant Kings] instantly multiplied into sixteen, then into thirty-two... seemingly reaching a limit, and stopped multiplying.

But it still gave Long Xiruo a chill down her spine.

"Heh, the void... this is truly interesting." The true dragon of Shenzhou suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and the "dragon energy" sword light in her hand abruptly dissipated. "This is truly my first battle in the void..."

"Are you going to surrender?" Raizo chuckled. "My promise still stands."

Then, Long Xiruo stretched out her right arm, and with a slight exhale, beams of light converged, and then an ancient-looking sword slowly materialized.

"I didn't expect to need it so soon..."

A flash of lightning crossed her eyes.

"Come out."

"Xuanyuan - Slaying Heaven..."

……

Known as the number one divine weapon of the Nine Provinces—born from the earth, the Xuanyuan Sword naturally cannot leave the Divine Land—even the true dragon of the Divine Land could not cross the endless void to pull it out of the land.

However, if Long Xi could seal away several portions of the Xuanyuan Sword's sword energy for future use when leaving Shenzhou, including [God of Slaughter], [Heaven-Slaying], and [Emperor]...

Of course, it's disposable; once you use one, there's one less left.

Oh, by the way, one of them was actually generously sponsored by Su Zijun—under the iron fist of Ah Xiruo in the name of love!
……

"The Xuanyuan Sword!"

In an instant, a terrifying glint flashed in Yuga's eyes!

But [Xuanyuan Zhutian] was already unsheathed, and it was accompanied by Ah Xiruo's [skill]... the pinnacle [skill] of Shenzhou martial arts!
"All directions are annihilated."

With a single horizontal strike, nothing less than unparalleled brilliance shone forth!

The thirty-two [Radiant Kings] were instantly reduced to ashes upon being touched by this unparalleled radiance... but the brilliance emanating from the [Xuanyuan·Zhutian] sword aura did not diminish!

Like a brand new crescent moon, it instantly tore through the depths of the Purple Moon, directly piercing the earth, tearing through the darkness on the Purple Moon, and rushing into the endless void.

Swords clash!

It was as if it were the first sound uttered into the void.

Announcement.

I'm here!
