Bang! An Imperial Army soldier who was beginning to take formation suddenly saw a blurry figure appear in front of him . A moment later, there was a cold gleam as an inhuman palm thrust through his chest . His sturdy armor shattered like glass, unable to even last for a second!

“What monster is this?!”

The soldier’s eyes were round with disbelief as blood gushed out of his mouth . A few moments later, he was dead .

Bang! Bang! Bang! As this Imperial Army soldier collapsed, soldiers around him were being blown into the air by these men in black that were transformed into half-human, half-beast monsters .

These men in black were like tigers in a flock of sheep, and not a single person was able to take a single blow from them .

“Hold!”

“Hold!”

The soldiers assembled into formations and tried their best to stop the men in black, but they were powerless against these men who possessed both massive size and impressive agility .

Fwoosh! A black ball of flame erupted from the hand of a man in black and engulfed an Imperial Army soldier .

That man only had time to bitterly scream before the Fire of Mara burned both him and his Stellar Energy to ash .

Under the frenzied attacks of the men in black, the ranks of the Imperial Army crumpled . Scorching ash drifted through the air as the men in black charged at the gate .

Boom!

At the same time, the Tianfu Divine Lord summoned his churning black energy and thrust out a palm, sending the Lone Silence Ancestor, Li Siye, and the others flying away .

The remaining power of his blow struck several hundred Imperial Army soldiers on the ground . All of them screamed as they were tossed about like fallen leaves .

“You accursed mortals, I’ll kill you all! And you! For daring to injure this god, I’ll tear your corpse to pieces!”

The Tianshu Divine Lord, seeing that the situation was slowly stabilizing, swiftly turned his cold and sinister gaze on Bai Hanzhou . He would not forget that it was Bai Hanzhou who had ambushed him and stabbed him in the back . If he had not reacted quickly and used his powerful cultivation to move his heart at the last moment, he would have truly died at Bai Hanzhou’s hands .

To be wounded and almost killed by a mortal was not something the Tianshu Divine Lord could tolerate . Only death could wash away his shame .

Buzz!

Bai Hanzhou’s pupils constricted as he sensed the Tianshu Divine Lord’s killing intent, and his face paled .

Everything had gone exactly according to his plan . He had taken control of Chongsheng Gate and backstabbed the Divine Lords, but Bai Hanzhou had never expected them to be this powerful .

An intense sense of danger welled up in his mind .

Bang!

The Tianshu Divine Lord disappeared in a flash of light . At the same time, Bai Hanzhou shivered as every muscle in his body tensed and he began to burn his Stellar Energy .

With no time to think, Bai Hanzhou lunged to the side .

“Great White Triple Radiance!”

Sword Qi erupted from his body, blazing with a light hundreds of times brighter than the sun . This Sword Qi then divided into three streams of energy that shot off in three different directions .

Bai Hanzhou himself had developed this technique . It was an offensive technique that could hammer an opponent with three damaging blows, but at this time, Bai Hanzhou was using it to avoid the Tianshu Divine Lord’s lethal strike .

Boom! Boom!

Bai Hanzhou’s two dazzling clones were only able to make it a few dozen feet before the Tianshu Divine Lord exploded them .

The third Bai Hanzhou twisted in the air, trying its best to dodge, but it was still struck by the Tianshu Divine Lord’s attack .

“Ah!”

Bai Hanzhou’s body trembled, and he vomited blood as he was sent flying back .

But the Great White Triple Radiance had proved useful, allowing him to avoid a fatal wound .

As Bai Hanzhou was knocked away, there were two more thuds . Outside Chongsheng Gate, Li Siye and the Lone Silence Ancestor had been unable to withstand the Tianfu Divine Lord’s attacks, and they had been blasted outward along with the Three Elders of the Northern Sea and the other martial arts experts .

“Hmph, you foolish ants, did you think you could win with this? In front of a god, all of you are nothing but grains of dust!”

The cold snorts of the Tianfu Divine Lord and Tianshu Divine Lord resounded through the world .

Boom!

The two thrust out their palms at the same time, and the world swayed as their majestic Stellar Energy slammed into Li Siye, the Three Elders of the Northern Sea, and many Wushang Cavalry . These Wushang Cavalry had Meteoric Metal armor, but they were still unable to stop this terrifying energy . Kaboom! Several dozen Wushang Cavalry struck the ground, and their suits of armor cracked and crumpled into balls, blood pouring out from within .

“Too powerful! Too powerful! We can’t beat them! How did the Eastern Palace get such frightening experts?!”

Li Siye was covered in blood, his eyes were crimson, and his teeth were clenched so hard that they were on the verge of shattering . He had pushed his cultivation to its limits and had even used the Five Hells God-Devil Slash, but none of his techniques were any match for the black-robed Divine Lords .

“It’s no good! We’re all dead if this goes on!”

Blood was trickling from the lips of the Three Elders of the Northern Sea . After King Qi was defeated, the situation had been settled . The only person willing to hire from the martial arts world was Wang Chong . The three of them had only thought about showing off their abilities a little so that Wang Chong would recruit them, but they had never expected to fight such a terrifying opponent .

They were extremely old experts of the martial arts world, even above the likes of Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting . These three had always possessed very high opinions of themselves, and in terms of martial arts, each of them was on par with the Lone Silence Ancestor . But in front of these Divine Lords, all three felt an immense fear .

This was a power so great that it sank one into despair!

Those three sensed that there was no hope of victory against the two Divine Lords, not even if Wang Chong came in person!

“Release!”

In the distance, Chen Burang waved his hand, and ten ballistae thundered in response, firing together with numerous master archers, the bolts and arrows flying toward the two Divine Lords . But without even looking, the pair blinked away, easily dodging the attacks .

Kaboom! The Tianfu Divine Lord casually thrust a palm, and a moment later, there was a tremendous explosion, instantly annihilating the ten ballistae . The master archers also suffered numerous losses, and screams rang out through the air as severed limbs rained down .

If not for the cavalry constantly charging in to hold the line, the army would have already been routed, and even Li Siye and the others slain . But even so, they were just barely managing to hold on .

“Hahaha, this is what happens to those who make enemies of the gods! All of you will die here today!” the Tianshu Divine Lord said in his sinister and murderous voice . Bai Hanzhou’s strike had both heavily injured him and stimulated his killing intent .

Boomboomboom!

If the Tianshu Divine Lord’s goal had initially been to hunt down Bai Hanzhou, he no longer cared . His goal was now purely killing, and not just Bai Hanzhou . Everyone here had to die!

“This god will make all of you taste despair!”

As this cruel voice resounded through the air, explosions began going off . As each ball of black Stellar Energy crashed down, hundreds of cavalry were thrown into the air . The attacks of the two Divine Lords soon covered the front of Chongsheng Gate in corpses .

In the depths of the Imperial Palace, the transformed men in black were continuing their frenzied attacks, and the Dragon Guards in front of Taiji Palace were continuing to fall .

“Kill, kill, kill! Kill them all!”

The First Prince stood far in the back, a savage expression on his face . While the Dragon Guards were exceptionally powerful and took many men in black down with them, those men in black continued to fearlessly charge forward .

“I’d like to see if anyone can stop me today!” the First Prince snarled .

Soldiers were trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment . It would only take a few more moments for all the Dragon Guards to be slain . It had truly been worth courting the men in black . No matter what, no matter the price, he needed to seize the throne and become the true Sovereign of the Nine and Five!

“啊!”

“Ah!”

Screams continued to ring out from the Imperial Palace, and the situation rapidly turned against Wang Chong’s forces . The smoke grew thicker and thicker as the fires blazed more and more fiercely, illuminating the skies above the capital, yet the clashing of weapons and screams of dying men traveled far into the darkness .

In the distance, Hou Junji could tell from the screams that the battle was once more in his favor . The Eastern Palace had seized the upper hand and was pushing its advantage .

“Hah, was this your plan?”

Hou Junji turned to Wang Chong . A single strong man could take ten martial artists . It didn’t matter that Wang Chong had persuaded Bai Hanzhou and planted him at the First Prince’s side . Hou Junji hadn’t expected this, but in the face of absolute power, all these tricks were useless .

Wang Chong said nothing, but his expression was extremely solemn .

The fate of the empire was on the line in this battle . Numerous eyes were watching it from the shadows .

Far from the Imperial Palace, in the most spacious and revered Su Residence, all was dark and gloomy . The back garden was sparsely lit by a few weak torches . The Su Residence was as dark and suffocating as any other place in the capital at this time . But at this time, within the back garden, an elderly figure was seated on a bamboo chair and staring in the direction of the Imperial Palace .

“That child… he can’t hold on for much longer!”

Su Zhengchen suddenly sighed, a complicated look in his eyes .
