Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 497: Storming the Palace

"You killed Lord National Master?"

The seven Divine Guards stared at Ling Chen in horror.

The intelligence they had received earlier stated that Ling Chen was severely injured and missing, and the National Master had been killed.

Now, Ling Chen had appeared in their Ghost Palace, and he had even made a move against them.

Clearly, this matter was not so simple.

Ling Chen had used the National Master’s methods, which indicated that no one else but Ling Chen could have killed the National Master.

The so-called Moon Shadow Killer was nothing but a ploy directed and acted out by Ling Chen himself!

"Indeed!"

Ling Chen nodded in acknowledgment.

Now that his identity was exposed, there was no need to hide these things.

"Now, I give you a choice: flee or die!"

Ling Chen’s expression was icy cold.

"We will flee!"

The seven Divine Guards trembled with fear.

The other Divine Guards also hurriedly nodded fervently.

If even the Great Divine Guards were no match for Ling Chen in a single strike, why would they invite death by confronting him?

As for those Ghost King Guards, they were almost scared out of their wits.

"Wait a moment!"

Ling Chen suddenly spoke.

"Lord, do you have any further orders?"

The second Divine Guard quickly asked with respect.

"Where is the person brought by Xia Jiuyou today?"

Ling Chen inquired.

He must find out the whereabouts of his father.

"We do not know. His Majesty... Xia Jiuyou brought that person, had his Source Energy extracted, and then took him away."

The second Divine Guard explained.

"Alright, you may leave now!"

Ling Chen waved his hand dismissively.

If his father was not found in the Ghost Palace, then it was very likely that he was still detained within Zhengyang Palace.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Everyone hurriedly expressed their gratefulness.

Just as they were about to leave, Ling Chen spoke again, "The one I injured, leave him behind."

Hearing this, the ten Divine Guards trembled in their legs and quickly turned back.

"Ling Chen, Young Master Ling, do you have any other orders?"

The ten Divine Guards asked in terror.

"I told you to leave, yet you loiter in front of me. Since that’s the case, you do not deserve to live!"

Ling Chen said coldly.

"Thump!"

The ten Divine Guards immediately knelt down, incessantly kowtowing to Ling Chen, pleading, "Lord Ling, please spare my life!"

Hearing this, the distant Ghost Divine Guards and Ghost King Guards desperately fled outwards, even resorting to using Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, fearing they would end up like the ten Divine Guards!

"You, deserve to die!"

Ling Chen said coldly.

Another great burst of Divine Light was unleashed, causing the ten Divine Guards to immediately become dizzy.

Then, Ling Chen flashed past him, and a fine head soared into the sky!

Soon after, Ling Chen left the Ghost Palace.

"Master, Uncle Cang, come in, we’ll go straight to Zhengyang Palace!"

Upon leaving the Ghost Palace, Ling Chen took out a token and notified Ji Wuya and the others.

Inside the Ghost Palace, he had tried to contact Ji Wuya, but found that there was a Spirit Array blocking communications.

"Alright!"

Ji Wuya’s voice came from the token.

Ling Chen lightly tapped the ground, his figure soaring into the air, flying towards Zhengyang Palace.

"Who goes there?"

Just then, a squad of the Imperial Guard appeared before Ling Chen, blocking his path.

Within the Palace, flying was prohibited.

Only the Imperial Guard had such privileges.

"Step aside! I don’t want to kill you!"

Ling Chen said coldly.

"Seeking death!"

The members of the Imperial Guard were furious.

This was their stronghold, and this intruder was telling them to leave, which was simply courting death.

They had the authority to execute this person on the spot.

Moreover, this intruder’s cultivation level was only at the early stages of the seventh layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

They had no fear.

Each member capable of patrolling the skies within the Palace was a high-level cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm.

"Boy, I warn you one last time, surrender or bear the consequences yourself!"

The Imperial Guards spoke again.

"Annoying chatter!"

Ling Chen’s eyes turned cold.

Six Divine Soul Telekinesis attacks targeted six men simultaneously.

It was indeed a Divine Soul Attack.

Now, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul level was on par with the late stages of transformation. Handling these several Cultivators in the seventh or eighth stages of the Primordial Pill Realm was effortlessly done without even needing to use the Divine Soul Attack Technique - the Great Sun Seal.

"Boom..."

The six men only felt a roar in their brains before they passed out.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen continued to fly forward, and his top-grade mental weapons pierced through the skulls of the six men.

...

Palace Gate.

Ji Wuya and Liu Qingcang arrived at the palace gate.

"Stop!"

An imperial guard approached, blocking the two and coldly asked, "Who are you?"

"The ones who will kill you!"

Ji Wuya replied with a cold smile.

A burst of Spiritual Power exploded from his palm, directly killing the imperial guard.

"Enemy attack!"

Immediately, an Imperial Guard noticed the situation and sounded the enemy attack alarm.

"Kill!"

Several squads of Imperial Guards at the gate immediately wielded their long spears and charged at Ji Wuya and his companion.

"Seeking death!"

Ji Wuya sneered, as Spiritual Power gathered in his hand and then solidified into a Spiritual Power Long Sword.

He then wielded this Spiritual Power Long Sword and slashed directly at the opponents!

"Ssst ssst ssst..."

Wherever the Spiritual Power Long Sword passed, all the Cultivators were completely sliced apart.

Spiritual Power Weaponry!

This was one of the methods of a Cultivator in the Palace Mansion Realm!

Meanwhile, Liu Qingcang held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right, pulling it to full draw.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow shot out.

"Ssst ssst ssst..."

The arrow, as if alive, automatically sought and killed the enemies.

In just a few breaths, fifty-four Imperial Guards were slain.

At the palace gate, blood flowed like rivers, and bodies piled up like small hills.

"Let’s go!"

Ji Wuya’s mind flickered, and his Spiritual Power Long Sword instantly dissipated back into Spiritual Power and returned within his body.

As soon as they entered the Palace, the two soared into the sky.

Hearing the alarm for an enemy attack, the Imperial Guards in the Palace immediately mobilized, rushing towards the gates.

"Kill!"

Seeing the techniques of Ji Wuya and his companion, the Imperial Guards did not approach them. From a distance, they launched ranged attacks. Various Sword Energies, Gun Lights, and other projectile attacks enveloped the two.

"Trivial skills!"

Ji Wuya sneered.

Spiritual Power roared out, condensing into a Spiritual Power Shield that enveloped them both.

"Boom boom boom..."

The attacks fell upon the Spiritual Power Shield, echoing through the sky like thunder, creating a sea of thunder.

However, these attacks were too weak.

They couldn’t even break the defense of the Spiritual Power Shield.

"Commander, our attacks cannot break the enemy’s defense!"

An Imperial Guard reported.

"Call for the Spirit-breaking Crossbow Imperial Guards!"

The commander immediately ordered.

He did not take action himself.

Even though he was at the ninth level of Primordial Pill Realm, since the adversaries dared to invade the Palace, they must possess formidable methods.

As a commander, leading from the front was important.

But sometimes, directing the soldiers was more crucial.

Soon, numerous Imperial Guards wielding Spirit-breaking Crossbows rushed over.

"On my command!"

The commander spoke.

When Ji Wuya was only a hundred zhang away, the commander waved his hand and commanded, "Fire!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A shower of crossbow bolts headed towards the two.

The Spirit-breaking Crossbow, equipped with specialized Spirit-breaking Arrows, could pierce through Spiritual Power defenses!

This was the perfect solution against Cultivators with strong defenses.
