Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!
Six Emperor Level martial artists and two Emperor Level talisman masters, a total of eight powerful auras, swept over the city walls of the Chen Kingdom's capital.
Whoosh!
At this moment, only three faint Emperor Level auras rose from the city walls of the Chen Kingdom's capital.
The one in the middle of these three Emperor Level auras is none other than Chen Hongjie, the current emperor of the Chen Kingdom.
Chen Hongjie was dressed in golden armor. Having long held a high position, his aura of authority was growing stronger, and his every move contained the power of heaven and earth.
In terms of cultivation realm, Chen Hongjie has not yet broken through to the Creation Realm, but since the Chen Kingdom, Chen Hongjie has discovered that there is a faint power in the world nourishing him.
After much research, Chen Mu learned that the power protecting Chen Hongjie was called " Imperial Dragon Qi." Its existence, like the "Dragon Vein " that protect famous mountains and rivers, is a special power that the Heavenly Dao uses to protect the balance of the world.
The Imperial Dragon Qi is extremely elusive, Chen Mu has not yet figured out its specific patterns. However, Chen Hongjie is currently using the Imperial Dragon Qi to fight on par with someone at the Late Emperor Level, and it would be even more difficult for enemies to kill him.
Beside Chen Hongjie were two young men, the strongest of the new generation of the Chen Clan. Although they had not yet broken through to the Creation Realm, the liquid metal armor provided to them by the Rune Research Institute made them barely able to fight against the Emperor Level.
"Hahaha... Chen Hongjie, with your meager strength, do you really think you can put up a stubborn resistance?"
When Lu Hai and his companions saw that there were only a few people who had barely reached the Emperor Level holding the fort on the city walls of the Chen Kingdom's capital, they immediately relaxed and let out contemptuous laughter.
"Hmph! You rats from Jing Province, my warriors from the Chen Kingdom are driving out the Otherworldly Demon on the border, yet you dare to attack our capital."
Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world for such behavior?
Chen Hongjie's voice was like thunder, exploding in the ears of countless soldiers below.
The attack on the Chen Kingdom from Jing Province was originally without any justification, and after Chen Hongjie's shout, Lu Hai clearly felt that the morale of his army had plummeted.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain—it's all empty fame! Today I'll show you what the inevitable trend truly means! Let's fight!"
Lu Hai had originally intended to dampen the opponent's morale, but he hadn't expected their words to be so sharp. He knew that there was no better reason to fight if he continued talking, so he simply took action.
"For our Emperor, fight!"
At this moment, Chen Hongjie's personal guards displayed an extremely high level of teamwork, with more than a hundred King Level cultivators protecting Chen Hongjie Chen Hongjie, clearly wanting to help him fight against Lu Hai.
"Enough! You are no match for them. Let me handle this myself!"
As soon as Chen Hongjie stepped onto the ground, golden dragon energy surrounded him, and he soared into the sky to meet Lu Hai.
"Haha! Kids, your opponent is me!"
At this moment, the old Daoist priest from the Heavenly Puppet Sect, his face full of wrinkles, made his move. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Golden Puppet flew out and rushed madly towards Chen Hongjie's guards.
The other five Emperor Level experts from Jing Province were not idle either, each attacking Chen Hongjie's subordinates. Faced with their powerful auras, the people of the Chen Kingdom were like a lone boat in a storm, appearing stubborn yet fragile.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
A pale white power enveloped the entire battlefield, causing all the Jing Province soldiers attacking the capital's walls to momentarily lose focus, as if they were drunk, their speed and strength greatly reduced.
With a whoosh, a little girl suddenly appeared beside Chen Hongjie, Chen Hongjie quickly stopped.
" Taichu, what brings you here?"
Chen Hongjie knew that Taichu was an artificial intelligence being created by Chen Mu, but he didn't know much about Taichu's specific abilities; he just felt that she was unfathomable.
Taichu made a playful face at Chen Hongjie, but didn't answer him. Instead, he looked at Lu Hai and the others in front of him.
Who is it?
Lu Hai and the Jing Province experts around him were all taken aback, because they found that their ability to draw upon the surrounding Spiritual Power was being suppressed, and their ability to manipulate the Rules of Heaven and Earth had also become more difficult.
"So it's you who want to destroy the capital, right? You'd better get out of here! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave later."
The young boy's face, Taichu innocent, was now utterly cold.
"Hmph! Playing tricks! Let's attack together!"
Lu Hai was actually starting to panic, because he could sense that the abilities Taichu was displaying were very similar to the domains possessed by Saint Level experts.
But having fought on the battlefield for many years, he mustered his courage and rallied his men to attack Taichu.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lu Hai's attack struck Taichu, but it passed right through him as if it were air, failing to cause Taichu any harm.
"You are all bad people! Bad people should be punished!"
Taichu spoke, her eyes gradually turned a pale red. She pointed one finger to the sky, and large patches of dark clouds gathered in the air.
"God said, 'Send down thunder to wash away sins.'"
Boom!...! Crackling sounds!
The Jing Province experts on the battlefield were almost simultaneously attacked by lightning from the sky, and even the Jing Province soldiers below were bombarded by large swaths of lightning.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The six Emperor Level experts of the King Who Pacifies Jing's Residence and the two talisman masters of the Heavenly Puppet Sect resisted the lightning attacks while trying their best to attack Taichu, but with little effect.
Taichu doesn't seem to be a physical being; physical attacks are completely ineffective against her. Moreover, her form is unpredictable, and the experts from Jing Province fought for a long time without even knowing whether they had actually hit Taichu.
At this moment, the Chen Kingdom's city defense forces launched a fierce counterattack. Chen Hongjie's Imperial Dragon Qi also had a group buff effect, and under his leadership, the Chen Kingdom's firepower gradually suppressed the Jing Province army.
"Damn it! What is this thing?"
Lu Hai has realized that his men are no match for Taichu in the short term, while Taichu's attacks are extremely sharp. If Taichu continues to bombard them like this, his army will soon suffer heavy losses.
"Pass down the order: the entire army retreats! We'll retreat thirty kilometers first, then make further plans!"
Lu Hai made a decisive decision and immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat. After all, the main force of the Chen Kingdom's army was fighting the Abyss Devil Race in West Ge Province, and he still had a chance to attack the Chen Kingdom's capital.
Soon, the Jing Province army retreated like a receding tide, and neither Chen Hongjie nor Taichu gave chase.
Although the capital's garrison numbered over two million, their individual strength was far inferior to that of the enemy. Relying on the city's defenses, they still had a fighting chance, but once they left the city gates, they would be no match for the Jing Province army.
