Chapter 23 - The Passage Appears

He suddenly saw the Fallen Queen raise her head and turn her gaze from the Bottle of Life to his face.

Then, for the first time, Xu You saw it.

A trace of emotion appeared in the beautiful phoenix eyes of the Fallen Queen.

This emotion was extremely faint, but Xu You could clearly see it.

It was doubt.

Before Xu You could think about what this doubt meant, under the siege of everyone, the throne shattered!

Bang!

The moment the throne shattered, a dazzling vortex appeared in the air of the inner hall.

When Old Tame Head saw this scene, he shouted in surprise, "It's the exit passageway!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately rushed into the passageway.

It was not easy for them to see the hope of survival, so they naturally had to cherish it.

This was because they had already seen countless armored and weapon-wielding… undead soldiers outside the palace!

In a moment, most of the people in the inner hall had left. Their relieved voices could be vaguely heard from the passageway.

The Fallen Queen did not react to the scene behind her.

She did not seem to care if others would escape from her domain.

She only looked at Xu You without any emotion in her eyes.

Xu You felt his hair stand on end.

At this moment, only the four of them who had fought the Fallen Queen and Old Tame Head were left in the inner hall.

There was also Xu You, who was watched by the Fallen Queen and did not dare to move at all.

Wang Qian glanced at Xu You, and his expression did not change much.

Then, he jumped up and stretched out an S-rank treasure in the inner hall into his arms.

Ever since the appearance of the Fallen Queen, too many accidents and changes had happened in the inner hall. Everyone's attention was elsewhere.

No one paid attention to the five S-rank treasures in midair.

After investigating the S-rank treasure in his hand, Wang Qian originally wanted to take another.

However, he glanced at the back of the Fallen Queen and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.

Then, Wang Qian tightened the S-rank treasure in his hand. Then, he simply gave up on continuing to fight for the treasure and jumped into the passageway.

This scene reminded the others.

Ling Lan and Zhang Ling each took an S-rank treasure.

Old Tame Head was a little nervous, and he did not dare to reach out.

Gong Yan glanced at the two balls of light in midair.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, she reached out and plucked a ball, holding it tightly in her hand.

"Brothers, I'll take my leave first. Brother Xu, good luck."

After this, Zhang Ling simply jumped into the passageway.

When Old Tame Head and Old Tame Head saw this scene, their expressions were a little heavy.

Walking to the side of the passageway with Old Tame Head, Ling Lan was a little hesitant.

"Xu You has been held back by the Fallen Queen. I'm still injured, so it's very difficult to save him from her."

Ling Lan's voice was a little helpless. When Old Tame Head heard this, his expression was a little conflicted.

"Sigh…"

Looking at the extremely powerful back of the Fallen Queen and the undead soldiers who continuously rushed over from outside the palace, there was only despair in their hearts.

The two of them could not find any way to resolve the current situation.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Lan made a decision.

Next, she would unleash a full-strength strike at the Fallen Queen.

This was also the only chance she could create for Xu You.

At this moment, Xu You was smiling at the Fallen Queen while looking for a way to survive.

The exit passageway was not far from him. If he could make the Fallen Queen remain motionless for a few seconds, he had the possibility of escaping.

The paralysis attribute of the Thunder Pearl… was the only way he could think of.

Thinking of this, Xu You looked at Ling Lan not far away.

The moment their eyes met, Xu You instantly understood what Ling Lan meant.

He took a deep breath and was about to say something.

Not far away, Gong Yan suddenly moved without any warning!

In an instant, she appeared behind the Fallen Queen.

With a strike, the hot flames instantly attacked the right hand of the Fallen Queen.

Gong Yan stared at the Sword of Judgment with desire flashing through her eyes.

This woman had yet to give up on her goal!

Sword of Judgment!

Xu You was shocked by her actions. After reacting, he hurriedly dodged.

The Fallen Queen's thoughts were also interrupted by Gong Yan's sudden actions.

However, her hand was still tightly gripping the Sword of Judgment.

Gong Yan's full-strength strike did not cause any damage to her!

This made Gong Yan's pupils involuntarily constrict. She knew that her operation had failed!

Xu You flashed and suddenly rushed into the passageway.

His speed was too fast, causing him to almost be unable to see anything along the way.

He felt that there seemed to be a ball of light in front of him.

After subconsciously taking it into his hand, Xu You flew to the passageway and pushed Old Tame Head and Ling Lan in.

A notification sounded in the system space, but Xu You pretended not to hear it.

He suddenly turned around and saw that the Fallen Queen had already flashed to Gong Yan who wanted to retreat.

Gong Yan's actions just now were indeed only to snatch the Sword of Judgment.

However, it was true that she had given Xu You room to escape.

Thinking of this, Xu You suddenly used the Bottle of Life, and extremely powerful lightning flowed out.

Slash!

Powerful lightning illuminated the entire inner hall and surged in the direction of the Fallen Queen in an almost crazy manner.

The strength of this strike surprised Gong Yan.

This was also the first time Xu You had fused the power of the Thunder Pearl and the Bottle of Life.

This lightning locked onto the Fallen Queen, immediately stopping her footsteps.

Gong Yan was shocked. She looked at Xu You gratefully and quickly rushed into the passageway.

At this moment, Xu You had already stepped into the passageway.

Looking back, he saw Gong Yan quickly approaching the passageway.

The Fallen Queen behind her waved the longsword in her hand with a cold expression again.

The sword light of judgment swung out and struck Gong Yan's back.

While causing Gong Yan to be heavily injured, it also reduced the distance between her and the passageway.

Finally, she stepped into the passageway.

Xu You's last glance back in the passageway was when he saw the Fallen Queen staring in his direction in a slightly persistent manner.

He could not understand the emotions in his eyes.

Gong Yan, who was the last to enter the passageway, looked a little relieved.

However, for some reason, an inexplicable aura seemed to have followed her into the passageway.

Moreover, that aura… did not seem to be coming for her.
