Chapter 22 - Targeted

The violent strike of the Fallen Queen suddenly slashed at Ling Lan without any warning.

Even if Ling Lan forcefully defended herself, she could not successfully resist.

She was not good at defense to begin with. Her superpower attribute made her weaker at frontal attacks and defense.

"Pfft!"

Ling Lan spat out a mouthful of blood and left the battlefield in a sorry state.

It could not be helped. If she did not leave now, she would probably die here.

Gong Yan frowned, but she did not say anything. Instead, she frowned and said, "Continue fighting!"

The three of them changed formations.

Then, the moment the durability of the throne became 10%.

The aura of the Fallen Queen suddenly erupted!

The powerful aura suddenly forced Gong Yan and the other two back at the same time, and they immediately became extremely miserable.

Gong Yan's pupils suddenly constricted, and Zhang Ling and Wang Qian's expressions were also ugly.

The Fallen Queen… had advanced!

The moment she officially reached SSS-rank, notifications sounded from Xu You's system space.

The entire Fallen City seemed to have instantly woken up.

It was as if a war song had sounded from ancient times in the capital.

A loud sound continuously sounded from all directions.

It was mixed with cries and battle roars as if countless ancient warriors were letting out their loyal voices to their queen.

The entire Fallen City began to change at an extremely exaggerated speed.

The old city wall was no longer there, and a new aura spread. The mottled stone steps seemed to have been reborn.

The armor and weapons that were scattered in the capital began to slowly rise from the ground.

Then, they began to assemble themselves and floated in midair, as if someone was wearing them.

Phantoms began to appear from the underground of the capital.

Then, the armor and weapons floated toward them.

In the inner hall of the palace.

Although Xu You and the others could not see the change in the royal city, they could sense it.

This huge capital was beginning to recover at an extremely terrifying speed!

Yes, this Fallen City.

It had awakened!

Xu You gritted his teeth and accelerated his fist which had almost reached its limit.

At the same time, he was also paying close attention to the battlefield of the Fallen Queen not far away.

Terrifying flames rose from Gong Yan's body. Every time she attacked, she would raise a high temperature that burned everything.

This made her look like a queen who controlled flames, noble and holy.

Wang Qian's actions were extremely elegant, but his superpower was the opposite of Gong Yan's ice attribute superpower.

He continuously used his ice crystals to freeze the joints of the Fallen Queen.

Ice crystals flickered, also extremely gorgeous.

As for Zhang Ling, his method looked a little simple, but every punch gave Xu You the feeling of a landslide.

The combined attack of an SS-rank mutant and two S-rank mutants looked extremely powerful.

However, all of this seemed to be insufficient in front of the Fallen Queen.

In the next second, the Fallen Queen, who had officially become an SSS-rank terrifying existence, suddenly waved the longsword in her hand!

In an instant, a terrifying aura crushed over like a tide.

Even though Xu You was not in the core attack range, he still felt an extremely powerful suffocating feeling.

Not to mention the three mutants who faced the attack of the Fallen Queen.

The three of them acted as if they were facing a great enemy and assumed their strongest defensive posture to block this attack.

However…

Under the strike of the Fallen Queen, they were actually sent flying in an almost destructive manner.

Bang! Bang!

Zhang Ling and Wang Qian only stopped after colliding with the stone pillar in the inner hall.

Gong Yan was slightly better, but her face was also a little pale.

Her expression was serious.

As an SS-rank mutant, it had been a long time since she had encountered such a desperate situation!

The SSS-rank Fallen Queen could be said to be terrifying in all aspects.

Taking a deep breath, Gong Yan's expression softened.

Then, she stood up and was about to continue facing the enemy when she saw a scene that stunned her.

After the Fallen Queen sent them retreating with a strike, she actually did not choose to pursue.

Instead, she turned around… and walked towards the throne?

This scene caused exclamations and panic to sound in the venue.

Gong Yan and the other two could not stop the Fallen Queen even if they joined forces. This was enough to show how powerful she was.

Under such circumstances, how could they not panic when they saw the Fallen Queen rushing toward them?

Xu You's pupils constricted.

The others felt that the Fallen Queen was coming for the throne.

However, he knew very well that the Fallen Queen… was actually coming for him!

Gritting his teeth, Xu You flashed towards the door of the inner hall.

As expected, the next moment, the Fallen Queen changed direction.

Then, she instantly flashed in front of Xu You!

This scene shocked everyone present.

Gong Yan looked at Xu You with a faint gaze.

Wang Qian and Zhang Ling were a little surprised, but they did not say anything.

The others in the venue were first stunned, then the way they looked at Xu You became a little strange.

Ling Lan was supported by Old Tame Head. When she saw this scene, her expression became a little heavy.

She could not understand what this scene meant.

However, no matter how puzzled she was, she should know one thing.

Xu You had been targeted by the Fallen Queen!

"Continue to bombard the throne!"

Gong Yan suddenly spoke. The stunned crowd quickly reacted and attacked the already dilapidated throne.

As for the Fallen Queen, she seemed to be uninterested in the fact that her throne was about to be shattered. She only stared at the bottle in Xu You's hand.

Xu You did not dare to move.

He had already seen the extremely terrifying speed of the Fallen Queen.

He knew very well that as long as he dared to run, the Fallen Queen could catch up to him in an instant.

Therefore, it was useless to run.

"What… what's the matter?"

Xu You tried to communicate.

He was no longer in the mood to care about the continuous notifications in the system space. When he looked at the Fallen Queen, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

That was an instinctive reaction of a person after their life was threatened.

The Fallen Queen did not react and only continued to look at the Bottle of Life in Xu You's hand.

Looking at it up close, Xu You felt that although the Fallen Queen had been revived after countless years, her skin seemed to be quite good.

White, smooth, and exquisite.

Moreover, her phoenix eyes which were not covered by the veil also gave people a soul-stirring beauty.

Xu You was stunned and could not help but curse himself.

At a time like this, he was still in the mood to think about this?!

Then, just as Xu You was about to drive his stiff legs to take two steps…
