Chapter 599 King Killing Plan
Chapter 599 King Killing Plan
People in the dark world are born with strong souls. According to Su Wen's calculation, the second stage of soul cultivation is to condense the soul body.
However, even if the cultivators on Earth have reached the Real God Realm, they cannot condense their souls into shape, and as long as the cultivators in the Dark World have almost the same level of cultivation as the True Alchemy Realm, the soul form will naturally form.
This is not to say that the souls of the people in the dark world are more powerful than the earth.
Because the soul growth rate of the people in the dark world is very low, basically condensing the body will come to an end.
In addition, the souls of people in the dark world are not as useful as the souls of people on earth. It is impossible for people in the dark world to have supernatural powers derived from souls such as out-of-body or divine consciousness.
The star ghost's body was destroyed and his strength dropped drastically.
Now even if the star ghost is allowed to seize the body, unless it seizes the body of a king, it will be difficult for the star ghost to have the strength of the king again.
However, Su Wen didn't even intend to give the star ghost the chance to seize the house.
Su Wen and Heiyun chased towards Xinggui.
The speed of the soul is far faster than that of the physical body. Su Wen and Hei Yun have just chased the space channel into the earth, and have lost the trace of the star ghost.
"Let him escape, and still escape to Earth. But even if he wins, his strength will not be as good as before."
"Then shall we still chase?"
"They've all escaped. Where can we chase her?" Su Wen smiled bitterly, "Go back first. I want to see if the gold-devouring ant queen is dead?"
……
The Gold Beetle King pointed: "I remember that the Gold Eater Queen was blown here, why did she disappear?"
Su Wen frowned. He felt with his soul but could not feel the presence of the Gold-eating Ant Queen.
There are only three possibilities.
The first possibility is that the gold-eating ant queen is really dead. In that case, the bondage of the soul seal will disappear, so Su Wen can't feel it.
The second possibility is that the gold-eating ant queen is very weak, and even Su Wen can't feel the weakness.
The third possibility is that the gold-eating ant queen somehow got rid of the soul mark, but this possibility is very small.
Su Wen looked into the city, and the people in the city were basically dead, leaving only broken walls and ruins.
Many golden beetles are still hovering in the air, but the strange thing is that there are no shadows of gold-eating ants.
All the gold-eating ants disappeared.
"Let's go, go back to Earth first." Su Wen couldn't figure out what was going on, but he had no time to delay in the dark world.
"Master, what about me?" The golden beetle king asked.
"You are still in the dark world. No one is your opponent in the dark world now. You can destroy it at will." Su Wen said lightly.
"Quack, I want to eat people from the light and dark world." The golden beetle king was extremely excited.
……
Su Wen returned to Earth.
Inside the combat center, Su Wen saw the latest battle situation.
In the past few days, the dark world has captured several remote cities on the earth.
The number of deaths on the earth has reached 400 million, and the army of the dark world has also died [-] million.
However, the dark world has mobilized another 500 million troops, and the current situation on the earth is still not optimistic.
"Except for the two arsenals on Baodu Island and in China, all other arsenals have been destroyed. Even the teleportation array you deployed has been destroyed. According to the current situation, in almost a month, more than half of our fighters will be destroyed. It will be impossible to take off, and the particle gun will not be able to start..."
"Our only advantage is the high-energy weapons. If the high-energy weapons are all hung up, we will be helpless in the face of the invasion of the dark world." Su Wen knew it clearly, "There is still one man-month. During the month, we must drive the people from the dark world back to the dark world."
"It's hard!" Tang Zong sighed, "People in the dark world have already figured out the situation on our earth, and now it's much more difficult to kill them with high-energy weapons, and they don't have complete confidence, and they don't attack any city easily. gone."
"It seems that there is only one way." Su Wen looked at the sky in the distance, "King kills, I want to kill all the kings of the dark world!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked.
"Heiyun and I just killed the star ghost, and now none of the kings of the dark world is my opponent. So, it is actually very easy to kill all the kings of the dark world." Su Wen was full of confidence.
There are a total of eight kings in the dark world, one star ghost died, one Chi Mu was disabled, and the deterrent power of the other six kings was greatly reduced.
If Su Wen fights the king of the dark world again, he can fight with all his strength.
Hei Yun was very excited: "Su Wen, who do you think should be killed first!"
Feng Nianzhi also smiled and said: "The three of us join forces, no king in the dark world can escape."
Su Wen thought for a while: "Let me first take a look at the positions of the remaining kings."
……
Half of the land of Africa is occupied by people from the dark world.
The kings of the dark world are also here.
The star ghost is dead, but the kings of the dark world don't know it yet.
Su Wen wants to hunt down the king of the dark world, but he has to wait for one of the kings of the dark world to be alone, or two kings to be alone.
Several kings of the dark world are having a meeting.
"Until now, we have destroyed more than a dozen warships and more than 1 fighter planes on the earth, but our casualties are not small." Mo Yi enjoyed a bottle of Erguotou produced in Huaxia.
"On Earth, most of the arsenals and teleportation arrays have been destroyed by us. Soon the Earthlings' fighter planes will be unable to enter the battlefield." Heiye held a watermelon and ate even the skin.
"We have occupied about a quarter of the earth's territory now, can we immigrate here?" The Shadow Killer coughed. He was attacked by Su Wen and Hei Yun at the same time, and he is still injured.
The plan of the dark world to invade the earth has changed again and again, and now there are two mainstream views circulating in the dark world.
One point of view is to destroy the earth first, and then move the people of the dark world to live on the earth. In this case, the people of the dark world who moved here are relatively safer.
The other point of light is to first build a territory on the earth to move the people of the dark world, and then gather the power of the people of the dark world to gradually encroach on the entire earth.
The final decision is still in the hands of several kings.
It's just that the light spots of several kings are not very uniform.
"Do you know where the two most core places on the earth are?" The Necromancer who rarely expressed his opinion suddenly asked.
"Huaxia?" Qian Puppet tried.
"And what about another one?"
"It's that island!"
The Necromancer nodded: "Yes, the two places at the core of the earth are Huaxia and Baodu Island, and the meanings of these two places are very different. If Baodu Island is captured, the Western Hemisphere will soon fall into In our hands. If we further occupy China, the whole earth will be ours."
"real or fake?"
"Look at the location of Baodu Island. Now more than half of the earth's resources are transported from Baodu Island. Destroying Baodu Island is like breaking an arm of the earth. Looking at the location of Huaxia, from where we invaded, If we can hit Huaxia, it is basically equivalent to sweeping the earth."
Several kings of the dark world nodded.
The analysis of the Necromancer allowed them to correctly understand the current situation.
Seeing that he had shocked several other people, the Necromancer continued: "For us, the most important thing to win is Baodu Island. Don't you realize that Baodu Island is a lonely and helpless island? It is said that Baodu Island is not far from the place where we invaded, because when we attack Baodu Island, we can use the sea water to avoid the attack of high-energy weapons, this place must be taken down."
"It seems to be true, but a few days ago, one of my subordinates accidentally broke into the vicinity of Baodu Island, but was strangled by the formation there. So it is not difficult to guess that Baodu Island must have arranged a terrifying formation. In this case, it will still be quite difficult for us to capture Baodu Island." Hei Ye murmured.
"Haven't you forgotten that the star ghost king is proficient in the earth's formation, as long as the star ghost returns, it will not be easy to break that formation." Chi Mu said proudly at this time.
"Speaking of the Star Ghost, it's been a few days, why haven't the Star Ghost come back yet?" The Shadow Killer King was a little surprised, "Both Su Wen and Hei Yun were seriously injured. The Star Ghost King should be able to kill one of them, right? I hope it was Su Wen who was killed."
"Let's wait a little longer!" Mo Yi said slowly, "If we really want to attack Baodu Island, it won't work without the star ghosts."
"Then it's decided. The next step is to capture Baodu Island. Once Baodu Island is successfully captured, we will take advantage of the situation to take all the Western World into our pockets, and then move the people here to settle down." The Night King said.
……
"It's not okay if the king of the dark world doesn't come out!" Su Wen had been lying in wait for a few days and became a little anxious. "It seems that we have to find a way to lure the king of the dark world out!"
Su Wen pondered for a while: "Senior Feng, you wait here first, and I'll see if I can lure the two kings of the dark world out."
Feng Nian had this idea a long time ago, now that she heard what Su Wen said, she naturally had no objection.
Heiyun looked eager to try, obviously he wanted to do this job more.
Su Wen quietly sneaked into the place where the dark world was stationed. He avoided several patrolling teams and finally got close to the core.
"How many kings are there?" Su Wen was overjoyed, "The defense work is really rubbish. If I don't make good use of it, I will feel sorry for myself."
Several thoughts flashed through Su Wen's mind, and finally he chose the safest and most shameless one.
Plant mines.
Of course, this is not an ordinary mine, but a high-powered grenade.
Su Wen carried more than 100 high-powered grenades. He didn't know how to be polite. He buried them around several king's residences, and then buried a lot in several key places. If they were detonated at the same time, the damage caused The power is unimaginable.
When everything was ready, Su Wen slowly retreated.
"A group of idiots in the dark world, they definitely don't understand the art of war on Earth." Su Wen couldn't help cursing, but at the same time he was a little proud, "One, two, three, blow me up!"
A loud bang.
The entire place where the dark world was stationed was blown away, and hundreds of thousands of people in the dark world were blown to the sky.
The Seven Kings were no better.
Seeing this scene, Su Wen didn't care so much: "I'll kill him while he's sick!"
Hei Yun and Feng Nianzhi also rushed up quickly at this time.
Su Wen directly aimed at the Demon Winged King who had fought against him. This guy should be considered the strongest in the dark world now.
"Kill the Demon Wing first!"
"Understood!" Hei Yun replied, "Die, idiots of the dark world!"
"Phoenix Divine Fire, burn the world!" Feng Nianzhi and Heiyun rushed towards Moyi, while Su Wen attacked from the front.
The kings of the dark world who had already been bombed hadn't realized what was going on.
Mo Yi shook his head, trying to wake himself up: "No, it's people from Earth, they're here!"
"It's too late to know, you are going to die!" Su Wen stabbed Mo Yi's chest with a sword, and directly pierced through it.
Mo Yi felt the pain and woke up completely: "I'm going to kill you!"
Demon Wing roared at Su Wen, and he grabbed Su Wen's shoulder with one hand. The huge strength shocked Su Wen.
"Release!" Heiyun twitched his tail on Mo Yi's body, and the erupting Mo Yi was blown away.
"Chop!" Feng Nianzhi pointed at Mo Yi's chest, only to see a raging flame ignited in Mo Yi's chest.
"Ah!" Mo Yi screamed, and he fled directly into the sea, intending to extinguish the flame in his chest.
"I'll go after him!" Hei Yun did not give in, and plunged into the sea.
"It's the three true god realms of the earth, hurry up!" Several kings of the dark world finally recognized who came.
"Death!" Hei Ye suddenly appeared next to Feng Nianzhi, and the dagger directly cut off Feng Nianzhi's neck, but Feng Nianzhi did not die, but turned into a ball of flames.
"The law of fire!" Heiye smiled coldly, "There is no law of invincibility, you can't escape from my palm."
The law of the incarnation of Feng Nian can indeed save many attacks.
However, the law is not invincible, even if it is the incarnation of flames, there are times when it is strong and weak.
"I'm here to send you to hell!" Shadow Killer made a move suddenly, he seemed to be traveling through the space, and part of the flame of the incarnation of Feng Nian was drawn into the space by him.
"It's not good!" Su Wen was shocked, "Get out of here!"
Two extinguishing divine lights shot over, and Yingsha and Heiye hurriedly avoided.
The flame of Feng Nianzhi's incarnation has been condensed again, but the aura of Feng Nianzhi after condensing is very weak.
Su Wen caught Feng Nianzhi, he felt that Feng Nianzhi had been seriously injured, and now he only had half his life left.
"Let's go together and kill him!" Heiye roared.
The six kings all attacked Su Wen.
Su Wen wanted to break through, so he identified the direction of Chimu, who made Chimu the weakest: "You want to block me too, you are beyond your control!"
Xianluo sword slashed at it like a broken bamboo.
Akagi's body was cut in half, but his soul escaped.
The kings of the dark world were all furious, but the king of the dead was almost drooling when he saw Chimu's soul.
Su Wen broke out directly from Chimu's position, then turned around and ran away.
……
A dark underground space.
The Necromancer took out a small vial and cast out a formula, only to see a phantom emerge from the vial.
That phantom is the soul of the star ghost king.
