The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 536 - Bombarding the Heaven’s Wall City



Chapter 536: Bombarding the Heaven’s Wall City

With Empress Cao keeping an eye on Qi Ying, she wouldn’t be able to move freely, let alone pass any messages to Ye Mo.

That was why Ye Mo and the others were totally unaware that Li Tianqiong had returned to Heaven’s Wall City. He was only waiting for the Martial Faction to attack the Heaven’s Wall City, waiting for them to walk right into his trap.

A day passed, and when the first ray of light landed on the Heaven’s Wall City, a huge commotion erupted in the city.

The Heaven’s Wall City was the capital of the Tianwu Kingdom, the place where the emperor resided.

Everyone there knew that the Martial Faction would attack the city with their army and occupy the imperial palace. The time had arrived for a new dynasty to start in the Tianwu Kingdom.

The Qingyun League was getting ready to set off. Apart from some higher-ups, they were all dressed in the same uniform with a massive “Martial” written on the back, signifying their allegiance to the Martial Faction.

After spending his time in secluded cultivation, Ye Mo had thoroughly consolidated his cultivation of Spirit Devour Realm. This time, he would be the main firepower in the force setting off for the Heaven’s Wall City.

And thus, at first light, the sky above the Qingyun League was filled with tens of thousands of flying beasts that landed in an orderly fashion.

The people of the Qingyun League were very excited, their army morale at an all-time high.

The Martial Faction had a lot of members. They consisted of not only the league members of the three leagues, but the castellans of many cities were also part of the Martial Faction. They had all brought their armies and joined the Martial Faction’s grand army.

As time passed, the size of Martial Faction’s army continued to swell. Flying beasts dotted the sky, all lined up in an orderly fashion.

Xuan Ji had a cloak draped over her as she commanded the army.

Ye Mo was hidden amid the army, preparing to help when required to conquer the Heaven’s Wall City.

Nearly all the members of Qingyun League had set off in this expedition. Even those in Spirit Cultivating Realm had joined in.

All told, they had over 100,000 soldiers in their army. A very terrifying number.

With a wave of Xuan Ji’s arm, the army set off and headed toward Heaven’s Wall City.

After about an hour, the Martial Faction’s army arrived before the Heaven’s Wall City. Imperial guards were everywhere on the city walls. Every unit of the army was equipped with a true energy cannon. The cannons could be powered with heart-stones and, all in all, there were about 100 firing platforms with those cannons on the walls. All of them were aimed straight at the Martial Faction’s army.

These true energy cannons were extremely powerful. Not even True Energy Realm experts would feel good if struck by one of these cannons.

But the Martial Faction’s army was also equipped with those cannons. Although they had fewer cannons than the imperial guard, with so many experts bolstering their ranks, they looked far stronger than the imperial guards.

Bang!

One of the true energy cannons fired and, like a signal, all the other cannons started firing as well.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

True energy projectiles rained down on the Heaven’s Wall City’s gate in a terrifying rain of death. There were so many projectiles it almost seemed like they were forming a bridge to walk on.

But right after the cannons were fired, a golden radiance descended from the sky. When the golden radiance enveloped the projectiles, they lost control and exploded in midair.

The newcomer was a woman with a fair and tender skin, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, her hair tied with an elegant hairpin. She was Empress Cao, and in her hand was the Imperial Divine Decree. With the divine radiance from that item, any attacks from the True Energy Realm and below would be meaningless.

When Ye Mo saw the token Empress Cao was holding in her hand, his eyes went wide. He remembered that token very clearly, it was the token that had saved the Xiao Clan once.

“Li Tianqiong had given both Empress Cao and Qi Ying an Imperial Divine Decree each. The decrees contained the emperor’s will, granting the holder the power to ignore all True Energy Realm and weaker attacks. Even Spirit Devour Realm experts would have to be careful when facing it.

Empress Cao herself wasn’t too powerful. But, equipped with the Imperial Divine Decree, her strength was comparable to a Spirit Devour Realm expert. And the Imperial Divine Decree had a wide range of attack. Anywhere the divine radiance could illuminate, its attack could reach.

“Audacious rebels, drop your weapons and surrender!” Empress Cao demanded. “The Imperial Divine Decree is the representative of the emperor himself. Drop your weapons and surrender right this moment!”

Hovering in the sky, Empress Cao faced the grand army with the Imperial Divine Decree on hand, not a trace of fear on her face.

“Commander Xuan Ji, the Imperial Divine Decree is capable of counteracting all our attacks,” Yao Qingyun said, “I’m afraid it’ll neutralize all our true energy cannons and crossbows. We have to capture Empress Cao alive before we can have a hope of breaking through the city gates.”

“The Imperial Divine Decree is just a Spirit Weapon with the emperor’s will attached to it.” Xuan Ji frowned. As the commander, she couldn’t easily make a move herself. “Of course, it’s quite an extraordinary weapon. Any elders here willing to go capture Empress Cao?”

“I’ll go, Xuan Ji.” Cai Ling flew out and stared at Empress Cao who was hovering in the air. Cai Ling had already cultivated her third tail, and her strength had been restored to peak stage Spirit Devour Realm.

And, without waiting for Xuan Ji’s reply, Cai Ling shot straight toward Empress Cao.

“Imperial guards, open fire on that rebel!” When Empress Cao saw Cai Ling flying toward her, she issued a command to the imperial guards on the city walls. Instantly, all the cannons were aimed straight at Cai Ling.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

An endless stream of projectiles streaked across the sky straight at Cai Ling.

Even Ye Mo’s face fell when he saw this scene. He was worried that Cai Ling would be injured by all those projectiles.

But Cai Ling wasn’t as weak as Ye Mo thought she was. She waved the Spirit Weapon in her hand, sending a shining energy fox out.

“Blinding Fox!”

The fox vanished and reappeared without stop. Each time it reappeared, it pounced on a projectile. Soon, all the projectiles had been destroyed midair before they could even reach Cai Ling.

“Empress Cao, die!”

Cai Ling waved her weapon once again at Empress Cao. Another energy fox was created. And, leaving behind a silver streak, the fox charged straight at Empress Cao.

“Ah!”

When Empress Cao saw the incoming fox, she screeched in fear, “Emperor, save me!”

Bang!

The space on the sky started shaking, and the energy fox was reduced to nothingness.

“Audacious rebel! You dare revolt?” A furious voice rang out. like a massive bell, the voice reverberated everywhere. Everyone who heard this voice was shocked.

“And you’ve even frightened my beloved empress? All of you shall die!”

Even Ye Mo had a look of astonishment on his face.

“The emperor has returned?”

“Right, it’s the emperor! Hahaha. The emperor has returned! These Martial Faction rebels will all die!”

“The emperor is the strongest and will forever protect us. So long as we hold on to the Heaven’s Wall City, with the emperor here, the Martial Faction will never be able to take the city!”

The imperial guards stationed on the city walls all roared with laughter and excitement.

As for the Martial Faction, nearly 90% of them started trembling madly. The emperor was the strongest warrior of the Tianwu Kingdom. His return signified the end of the Martial Faction’s advance.

“Where is Li Tianqiong? Why can’t I sense him?” Ye Mo, who was concealed in midair, started scanning his surroundings, but he couldn’t find where Li Tianqiong was.

“He’s using a voice transmission technique,” Hong Ling said. “He has indeed returned. Maybe he’s in the imperial palace, but he’s not here personally.

“Impossible. With his temper, after finding out that I killed Cao Zhengchun, he would definitely come for my life. But now he’s not even here? What’s going on?”

Ye Mo sank into doubt.
