Chapter 407

The five Heaven Saint Masters from the Qinhuang Kingdom did not stay at the northern stronghold for too long. They were all under the orders of the Imperial Protector to assist the Gesun Kingdom in defending against their enemies. So when they learned of the current situation of the Gesun Kingdom from the commanders of the northern stronghold, they immediately split up into three groups to assist the eastern, southern, and western strongholds of the Gesun Kingdom.

The northern stronghold of the Gesun Kingdom was still guarded by the two Heaven Saint Masters, Chang Wuji and Khafir. After taking the Radiant Spirit Pills from the five Heaven Saint Masters, they quickly stabilized their bodies and began to heal. With the help of the Radiant Saint Masters, their wounds began to heal at a rapid rate.

The millions of soldiers from the Pingyang Kingdom had already suffered heavy casualties from the previous battle between the Heaven Saint Masters. With five of their own dead, their morale had taken a huge hit and no longer had the will to fight. Thus, the army retreated fifteen kilometers away from the stronghold.

By now, the situation at the northern stronghold of the Gesun Kingdom had temporarily stabilized. However, if the four kingdoms did not retreat, then the crisis would not be resolved.

At this moment, an uninvited guest had arrived at the imperial palace of the Pingyang Kingdom. Jian Chen had already arrived at the imperial palace of the Pingyang Kingdom and was now walking toward the palace gates.

Although the Pingyang Kingdom was in a war, the imperial palace was extremely calm without a single trace of nervousness.

"Halt, what are you doing?" Just as Jian Chen was about to enter the palace gates, he was stopped by two guards.

Jian Chen's eyes flashed as an azure and violet Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips and slashed at the necks of the two guards.

The two guards didn't even have a chance to cry out before falling to the ground.

This scene in front of them caused the faces of the other guards to change. Immediately, one of them cried out, "Impudent! He's here to cause trouble, capture him!" There were at least thirty guards standing guard at the gates of the Pingyang Kingdom in a single line. Hearing the shout, the rest of the guards didn't hesitate and immediately took out their Saint Weapons to charge at Jian Chen.

Jian Chen's face was emotionless, and his eyes were cold. With a light tap of his finger, a ray of azure and violet Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips toward the thirty soldiers that were charging at him. Each of the Sword Qi accurately struck their throats, creating a fist-sized hole in their throats. Blood sprayed into the air like a blooming flower.

The thirty guards didn't even have a chance to cry out before they fell to the ground. In an instant, the pristine marble floor was dyed red with blood as a bloody smell began to fill the air.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing whistle came from the walls of the Imperial Palace. The scene below was discovered by the soldiers on the walls, and they immediately blew the whistle. The whistle was hurried and long, and it was the highest level of warning.

Not long after, a series of heavy footsteps could be heard coming from the palace gates. The sounds were so uniform that it sounded like the drums of war. At the same time, the palace gates of the Pingyang Kingdom slowly opened up as a group of armored soldiers came running out. Each one of them had a cold expression on their faces and a cold glare. This was a group of elite soldiers that had been baptized by slaughter.

In front of this group of elite soldiers, a silver-armored middle aged man rode on top of a Class 3 Magical Beast. His cold eyes swept over the 30 soldiers that had fallen to the ground before finally landing on the 20 year old Jian Chen. With a wave of his hand, he roared, "Capture him!"

The elite soldiers behind the middle-aged man immediately charged forward and surrounded Jian Chen in a fan-shaped encirclement.

Jian Chen had a disdainful smile on his face as he pointed out with his finger. One after another, the azure and violet Sword Qi shot out. Against this finger sized Sword Qi, the group of elite soldiers didn't even have a chance to dodge before their throats were pierced by the azure and violet Sword Qi.

In the blink of an eye, another forty soldiers had fallen to the ground.

The middle aged man on top of the Class 3 Magical Beast had a serious look on his face as a 3 meter long earthen spear appeared in his hand. Leaping down from his mount, he charged at Jian Chen with the spear in his hand stabbing at Jian Chen's throat like a bolt of lightning.

The middle aged man was a First Cycle Earth Saint Master, but this level of strength wasn't enough to enter Jian Chen's eyes. With a point of his finger, a faint azure and violet Sword Qi shot out from Jian Chen's finger and collided with the middle aged man's spear.

"Ding!"

Following a clear sound, the middle aged man's body began to tremble as the azure and violet Sword Qi had shaken his arms to the point of numbness. Instead of moving forward, he was sent flying back to the ground. By the time he hit the ground, he had uncontrollably retreated a dozen steps.

At that moment, another azure and violet Sword Qi shot out from Jian Chen's finger and pierced through the middle aged man's throat before he could even stabilize himself.

"Hou!" The middle aged man's magical beast mount was a black panther. With a low growl, the black panther shot toward Jian Chen.

The azure and violet Sword Qi condensed on Jian Chen's fingertip without even looking at the panther. Just as the panther approached him, Jian Chen waved his right hand, and the azure and violet Sword Qi sliced through the panther's head like it was tofu.

The elite soldiers that had followed the middle aged man had over two hundred men, but at this moment, all of their faces had blanched. Jian Chen's display of strength was enough to strike fear into their hearts.

"Quick, sound the war drums!"

"Hurry up and sound the drums!"

The remaining soldiers knew that Jian Chen's strength wasn't something they could stop, so they quickly ran back to the imperial palace.

"Dong dong dong dong dong!"

The sound of the war drums could be heard from within the imperial palace. The sound was so loud that everyone in the imperial palace could hear it.

Hearing the sound of the war drums, everyone in the imperial palace was stunned. They couldn't even remember how many years it had been since they last heard the sound of the war drums. But soon after, everyone came to their senses and the entire imperial palace began to bustle with activity.

Groups of armored men began to appear from all over the imperial palace as they began to gather at the entrance of the imperial palace. Not wanting to fall behind, the experts that were hidden within the imperial palace began to fly toward the entrance as well.

Under the control of Jian Chen's mind, the two bronze lions at the entrance of the palace began to float into the air. With a faint layer of azure and violet Sword Qi surrounding them, they began to fly toward the walls of the palace at an extremely fast speed.

"Bang!" Two loud booms rang out, and two huge holes appeared in the incomparably sturdy city wall. The palace gate, which was completely made of steel, was also completely destroyed.
