“Kill!”
Deep within the pce, the battle was intensifying. The men in ck were working together with the elites of the Imperial Army to crash against the Dragon Guards in wave after wave. Many Dragon Guards had already fallen, and if this continued, it wouldn’t be long before Taiji Pce was breached.
“Good! If this continues, Taiji Pce will be ours!”
In the back of the army, First Prince Li Ying clenched his fists, a bright light in his eyes.
The army was advancing, and while something had apparently happened at Chongsheng Gate, he no longer cared.
As long as he could take Taiji Pce, anything that happened in the rear had no effect on him.
“For opposing this prince, all of you must die!”
The First Prince felt refreshed as the Dragon Guards were in.
Bang!
But just when thest defense line was about to crumble...
No one noticed a ck steel boot, decorated with dragon and mountain patterns in gold, stomp out of Taiji Pce.
It was just a simple step, but as the foot hit the ground, a massive soundwave radiated from Taiji Pce, and the ground seemed unable to bear the weight of this ck boot.
Buzz!
This intense soundwave made the men in ck and the Imperial Army elites all turn in unison.
What appeared before them was a ck-armored general with a cold expression, his body seething with energy as he strode out of Taiji Pce.
The strongest people around Taiji Pce had undoubtedly been those stalwart Dragon Guards standing sentry on the white jade steps, but even the strongest of the Dragon Guards appeared much weaker than this ck-armored general, likeparing a child to a strongman.
But to their greater shock, there was yet another boom, and then another ck-armored general strode out of the pce.
This was followed by a third man. This group of people came out in groups of three, and a few momentster, four teams had appeared, for a total of twelve ck-armored generals, all of them with cold expressions.
But while these people had cold and aloof expressions, their bodies were zing with energy. These twelve arranged themselves into a semicircle to defend Taiji Pce from all angles.
Whoooah!
Even the strongest of the men in ck instinctively backed away in fear upon seeing those twelve demonic generals.
Danger!
Extreme danger!
Although there were only twelve of them, much fewer than the Dragon Guards, the men in ck sensed that they were far more dangerous than all the Dragon Guards put together.
An Imperial Army soldier nced at them and immediately felt like every part of his body had been jabbed by needles, and he shivered in shock. “Just who are these people?!”
“The True Dragon Sentinels!”
At this moment, no one was more shocked than Li Ying.
He had always believed that the greatest barrier between him and the throne of the Nine and Five was the Dragon Guards, but now, he understood that this was far from the case.
“How could this be? These people actually exist?!”
Li Ying suddenly recalled a rumor from his childhood. It was said that in the dark corners of Taiji Pce were twelve of the Sage Emperor’s strongest guards. These guards had once been the Sage Emperor’s most loyal soldiers. They had participated in the rebellion that broke out when the Sage Emperor first took the throne and had rendered great achievements.
But ever since then, those twelve had vanished. No one knew their names. They had been born in the darkness, grown up in the darkness, and eventually vanished into the darkness.
Li Ying had heard of their feats as a baby, but he had never seen them with his own eyes, so he had taken them to berger-than-life characters whose legends had been embellished. He had never expected them to be real.
“Forget it! Just end the battle now!”
The intimidated men in ck suddenly bellowed, killing intent exploding from their bodies as they charged at the remaining Dragon Guards and the True Dragon Sentinels.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The half–Lu Wus and half–Ju Bis snarled, their veins bulging and ck energy boiling off their bodies. With astonishing speed, they charged at the twelve ck-armored generals.
But despite their speed, there were some who were even faster.
“Asura Darkde!”
The Asura men in ck flew across the steps, reaching the True Dragon Sentinels first.
Bang!
One of the men in ck thrust out his left palm, unleashing pure Fire of Mara at one of the True Dragon Sentinels.
Fwoosh! The Fire of Mara that had been about the size of a fist instantly turned into a massive fireball upon touching that ck-armored general. Meanwhile, that Asura immediately shot to the True Dragon Sentinel’s right side.
“Die!”
The Asura suddenly produced a curved ck de that was more than four feet long. The de thrummed with destructive energy as it shed at the True Dragon Sentinel.
This attack was abrupt and moved with such speed that it left a long scar in the fabric of space. Even steel would be sliced in two if struck by this de.
Rumble!
But just as this ck de was about to strike, boom! The ck-armored general exploded with Ster Energy, sting away the Fire of Mara into countless flickering embers.
At the same time, a powerful hand covered in thick armor reached outward. A momentter, that Asura that was originally several feet away was drawn into his palm, those five fingers clenched around his throat.
Crack.
With a light snap, the callous True Dragon Sentinel shattered the Asura’s neck. The man in ck’s limbs went limp, his body swaying in the air like a punctured balloon, all the energy rapidly draining away.
Without using any weapons, the True Dragon Sentinel had easily killed one of the Asura men in ck.
“!!!”
All the men in ck were stunned by this sight.
Any man in ck who could transform into an Asura was considered an expert in their organization. They had massive reserves of Ster Energy and incredibly tenacious vitalities. Within their bodies was the most tyrannical of the three mes, the Fire of Mara.
In normal circumstances, even if they were heavily injured, they would still be incredibly hard to kill.
But that True Dragon Sentinel had just needed his five fingers to kill one!
“What frightening strength!”
They quickly realized that it wasn’t that those Asura men in ck were too weak. It was that the twelve True Dragon Sentinels were too strong.
“The First Prince has decreed that anyone who kills those men will be richly rewarded!”
“Kill!”
A momentter, the men in ck and Imperial Army elites charged forward.
The men in ck had never feared death, and the Imperial Army was under the directmand of the First Prince. None of them could retreat.
A great din arose as various kinds of Ster Energy, sabers, swords, and arrows rained down on the Dragon Guards and True Dragon Sentinels on the jade steps.
This dense rain of attacks blotted out the sky, and even the imposing walls of Taiji Pce were drowned under the waves of Ster Energy.
ng!
Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of a saber being pulled from its sheath with incredible speed. The screeching of the de against the sheath was so shrill that it almost shattered eardrums.
Bang!
A few momentster, a pitch-ck wave of energy cut through the heavens, cleaving apart all those various kinds of Ster Energy.
The remaining saber energy sliced apart everything else within a range of several hundred feet, including the men in ck, the Imperial Army soldiers, the arrows howling through the air, and the various torrents of Ster Energy. All of it was obliterated.
In front of this saber energy, everything else might as well have been made of paper. All of it was swept away and pulverized into tiny chunks.
And this was only the beginning.
Boom! Boom! Boom! There were twelve explosions in all, each burst of saber energy causing the majestic Taiji Pce to tremble.
As the saber energy descended, the world fell silent, the din of fighting instantly vanishing.
Twelve massive scars had appeared in front of Taiji Pce, each one starting from one of the twelve True Dragon Sentinels.
These massive scars spanned the entire battlefield, and in their course, one could only see mangled bodies and severed limbs. The men in ck and Imperial Army elites had been obliterated, leaving behind a hellish scene.
Silence!
The area in front of Taiji Pce became eerily still!
Even the most frenzied and bloodthirsty of the men in ck unconsciously backed away.
The twelve ck-armored True Dragon Sentinels seemed to transform into twelve ancient mountains that had been standing since time immemorial, immovable and majestic.
The fearless men in ck finally began to shiver in terror. Even though there were only twelve of them, their strength was frightening beyond measure.
