I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 804 - 301: The Empress as the Home Invader? (×) The Empress Is Breaking In! (√)

Bang ——

The heart explodes, blood splattered everywhere.

The guard with a pierced chest wobbles and collapses to the ground with a "thud."

A shadow emerges from beneath the feet of another guard, slips into the chest wound, and within moments, the man, now lifeless, stands up again.

His eyes are hollow, actions wooden, like a puppet on strings.

The two men arrive at the stone gate, place their palms in the center of the array. A bright glow flashes, and the heavy door slowly opens to both sides.

Step, step, step ——

Moments later, slow footsteps echo in the narrow passageway.

The dim candlelight illuminates Chu Heng’s pale face, his eyes glistening with a faint blood-red glint.

"Fortunately, Mr. Duan made preparations in advance. Looks like everything is as I thought. Take advantage of the chaos and leave here quickly," he mutters, not knowing to whom he’s speaking.

"What on earth is going on outside, the tremors are so strong?"

"Could it be an enemy invasion?"

"What nonsense is this? This is the Capital City, under the Emperor’s feet, who would dare to cause trouble here?"

On the upper floor of the dungeon, several prison guards discussed, feeling the occasional aftershocks beneath their feet, dust falling through the cracks in the bricks and stones.

However, the Imperial Prison is reinforced with layers of arrays, so there’s no worry about it collapsing.

The Prison Director furrowed his brows, thinking about what Chen Mo said the other day, feeling a vague unease in his heart.

"Stop chatting idly, stay alert."

"I’ll go down and take a look. You keep a close watch here, and alert at the first sign of anything unusual."

The Prison Director instructed and then turned towards the staircase.

"Yes."

They responded with their mouths, but were not concerned.

The Imperial Prison is so heavily guarded, not even a fly can get in, what could possibly go wrong?

The Prison Director had just reached the end of the corridor when he unexpectedly encountered two towering figures, stopping in his tracks, "Why are you up here? Has something happened?"

Without major changes, the prison guards from the black prison would never leave their posts.

The two said nothing, walking straight ahead.

Noticing one of them with a chest wound, the Prison Director’s pupils narrowed to pinpoints, quickly recoiling backward, shouting loudly: "Enemies..."

But before the word "attack" could leave his mouth, dazzling sword light flashed by, and blood poured like rain!

A deep wound nearly bisected the Prison Director at the waist!

He slid down the wall slowly, blood flowing away, vision beginning to blur, lifting his head to see Chu Heng following the guards into the interior of the prison area.

"Just as Mr. Chen predicted..."

"Something has really happened..."

Trembling, he pulled out the Jade Pendant from his bosom, using his remaining strength to crush it, then completely lost consciousness.

"Who are you!"

"Sir, are you alright!"

The prison guards heard the commotion and rushed over.

Seeing this scene, their faces turned to horror.

Chu Heng curled his lips into a sinister smile, speaking coldly: "Like to use punishment on me, huh? Kill them all, leave no one!"

The Iron Armor Guards responded, dragging their huge swords forward.

"Kill!"

To become a prison guard of the Imperial Prison, they were certainly not weak.

But these two guards felt no pain, knew no fatigue, clad in heavy armor, blades and swords only left a white mark on them, impossible to deal with swiftly.

And the monstrous wind carried by their huge swords, each swing brought a mass of bloody limbs, like a human meat grinder!

In no time, the prison guards were dead and wounded heavily!

"Die already!"

A Prison Supervisor leaped forward, his long sword tracing a mysterious arc, striking accurately into the gap at the Iron Armor’s neck, decapitating one guard!

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt sharp pain in his abdomen.

The headless guard didn’t fall but instead thrust his sword backward, impaling his abdomen.

"How is this possible?"

The expression in the Prison Supervisor’s eyes was a mix of bewilderment and disbelief.

Soon after, the huge sword swung upwards, brutally cleaving him in half!

In less than half a moment, all the prison guards have fallen, the air heavy with the scent of blood.

And the bodies of the two Iron Armor Guards had reached their limits, falling to their knees, silenced completely.

Chu Heng walked across the field of corpses, arriving beside the Prison Director, crouching down to search carefully, finding a set of keys.

Then he opened all the cell doors.

The prisoners inside looked perplexed, poking their heads out to see the hallway flooded with blood, all startled into a daze.

"What’s going on here?!"

Clatter——

Chu Heng raised his hand, tossing the keys in front of them, smiling broadly: "Congratulations, you’ve regained freedom."

?

Freedom?

The prisoners glanced at each other.

When they realized, their breathing began to quicken.

They were all serious criminals, never imagined they’d leave alive once imprisoned, barely getting by each day, never knowing when they’d face execution, never thought there’d be a day to leave this hellhole?!

Now, with the chance before them, they would fight with everything they had!

They picked up the keys, unlocked the shackles, and raced towards the exit!

"Don’t push!"

"Let me go first!"

Chu Heng’s lips maintained a sardonic curl, his figure vanishing into the shadows, silently following behind.

The few at the front barely made it outside, inhaling a couple of breaths of fresh air, before the sound of arrows piercing through the air rang in their ears, and they were turned into porcupines.

"Raise the beacon and sound the alarm!"

"Prison break, kill on sight!"

The Assistant Officers rushed over after noticing the chaos, their blades swiftly harvesting the lives of the prisoners.

According to the Imperial Prison’s garrison regulations, in case of a prison break, regardless of the reasons, they could execute first, report later!
