Imperial God Emperor 1228 - Arrival of Little Nine

Chapter 1228 - Arrival of Little Nine
Several airships and warships could be seen flying intimidatingly in the void.
At the same time, the sounds of footsteps and horse carriages could be heard coming from all directions along the streets that were shrouded by the night. The large group quickly surrounded the entire number one military brothel.
The chubby manager's eyes lit up with happiness but soon, the light in his eyes dimmed.
It didn't matter whether or not the reinforcement troops came since his life was still in their hands.
Soon, he heard footsteps nearby.
"Who has dared to murder and create such a commotion at the number one military brothel?" a titled Marquis expert in golden armor strode in and was followed by soldiers who swarmed into the room.
These soldiers gave off a ferocity that was vastly different from the guards who were guarding the military brothel earlier. These were true soldiers from the military who had undergone rigorous training and their leader, the titled Marquis, was an expert whose cultivation was of half-step to Quasi-emperor realm, so his aura was very strong.
He was shocked to see the amount of blood and the number of corpses littered everywhere when he arrived.
Who could have had the guts to kill so openly here? Was this person a lunatic?
"Capture them, capture them all and kill anyone who puts up a resistance," he yelled angrily.
In the quiet room, Lin Nanzhu stood upright with her sword.
The soldiers searched the area and finally spotted her. One look at her and they knew that this armored woman had murdered all these people. When the titled Marquis entered the room and saw Lin Nanzhu, he froze for a moment as recognition dawned and said, "You... how could you...? Hehe, Marquis Tingtao's residence is clearly filled with a bunch of rebels. You've committed an unforgivable crime, so just watch how I'm going to punish you. Men, gather on her left and right and take her down."
Lin Nanzhu's face was filled with rage once more when she recognized this Marquis.
This Marquis from the Dark Feather clan had led his troops to destroy and and kill countless people of Marquis Tingtao's residence.
However, Lin Nanzhu's mind had already cleared and after all the men she had killed, she was no longer so full of hatred. Thus, when she saw this Marquis, she stopped to think of how Ye Qingyu might want to punish this man.
However, a voice rang out from the quiet room.
"Kill them all."
At the same time, an invisible warm current traveled across space and entered her body, instantly getting rid of her fatigue and giving her unprecedented strength. A rush of powerful and shocking strength exploded from her, and she rushed toward several dozen soldiers. These soldiers didn't even have a chance to resist before they were sent flying like grass in the wind.
It had been Ye Qingyu's voice and he had also been the one who had injected this strength within her.
Lin Nanzhu didn't hesitate and her figure flashed as she got to the soldiers first. Then, she attacked like a bolt of lightning and slashed them all in two before they even started their descent to the ground.
Her sword blade moved once more and pointed toward the leader of the group.
"Oh no..." the Marquis of the Dark Feather clan's face turned pale.
He sensed the terrifying burst of power within Lin Nanzhu's body that had suddenly manifested. He instantly felt a shiver of fear run down his spine and the shadow of death looming over him. He didn't understand how this happened and he was about to retaliate when he sensed something cold pressing against his neck; then his body stiffened and he was no longer able to move.
A bloody slash appeared on his neck and his head rolled off his shoulders.
"That... that sword moved so quickly," he exclaimed in shock, unable to believe what had just happened.
He had personally captured Lin Nanzhu just several days ago and Lin Nanzhu wasn't even able to counter with a single attack of her own back then. Yet now... his body fell to the ground and he died in complete disbelief.
The remaining soldiers hadn't expected their commander to fall so quickly, so their ranks were thrown into disarray.
However, even if their ranks had not been thrown into disarray, they would have been no match for Lin Nanzhu in her current state.
Dozens of warships rushed down from the skies, their bows flickering with dazzling splendor as they aimed their weapons at Lin Nanzhu. The splendor originated from the large formation cannons at the bow of the ship and a terrifying force was brewing within them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The large cannons released their attacks but an invisible shield suddenly appeared in the sky several hundred meters above the number one military brothel. This shield had appeared from the quiet room and instantly shrouded the entire military brothel. The powerful cannons could not even cause a ripple to form on this shield.
Fifteen minutes later—
Lin Nanzhu moved like the wind and finished killing the remaining soldiers who had surrounded her.
"Stay here and protect the innocent lives within this camp," Ye Qingyu said to Lin Nanzhu after he emerged from the quiet room.
Lin Nanzhu had wanted to stick by Ye Qingyu's side but when she remembered that her mother was still within the military brothel, she could only nod obediently. She got on one knee and said respectfully, "Many thanks for saving my life."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure that this will never happen again," Ye Qingyu said.
As he spoke, four strands of hair floated down from his head and with a small flash of light, they transformed into four silver light dragons that resembled formation chains. These four dragons howled as they flew toward the four corners of the military brothel and immediately, an invincible Emperor formation was formed that fortified the entire military brothel. Even if a Martial Emperor were to come, he would definitely not be able to break past this formation quickly.
At the same time, rays of ice markings spread from Ye Qingyu's feet and slithered on the ground like icy snakes. They seemed to move slowly but were actually moving very quickly and instantly spread across the entire military brothel to freeze all the blood and corpses on the ground. Then, all the blood and corpses that littered the ground instantly vanished as though they had evaporated.
There was not a single trace left of this bloodied and terrifying scene.
The number one military brothel had regained its earlier appearance and it was hard to detect a trace of blood on its compound. It was only a little quiet and no one could have imagined that a massacre had just taken place here a few moments ago.
"It is time. They should have arrived," Ye Qingyu's lips curved into a smile.
Then, there was a flash and his figure disappeared on the spot.
....
At the east gate of Royal City.
Due to the recent turmoil in the city, security along the city walls had tightened and there had been an increase of guards along this area. The soldiers stationed at the east gate were the elite soldiers of Royal City's regular army and there were several tens of thousands of soldiers present.
The commander of these troops had been Sun Yi from the Sun clan. However, after the turmoil at Royal City, the Sun clan was under attack and their general Sun Yi had been tricked and captured; as a result, the command of the troops had fallen into the hands of a nobleman from the Sky-reaching clan, a man known as Xuan Tian.
The night grew darker.
Xuan Tian was in a bad mood.
The ancestors who had gone to kill Ye Qingyu had yet to return and were gone far longer than their initial estimates. This deviated from the plans that the various races had agreed on beforehand so he was worried that something might have changed.
Although they had captured Sun Yi, the Sun clan was still an Emperor clan who still had a sovereign standing guard over them. The Sun clan’s ancestral home was very well protected with many layers of defensive restrictions. They had spent many days and threw a lot of military might in an effort to try to break through the Sun clan’s ancestral home but to no avail. They might have already won an advantage over the Sun clan, but their progress was still incredibly slow.
In other words, their plan was progressing smoothly but not as smoothly as expected.
Xuan Tian was very ambitious and he was one of the most outstanding talents of his time in the Sky-reaching clan. He was not even a thousand years old but was very well-regarded, especially by the Martial Emperor of the Sky-reaching clan. After their clan elder had been killed by Ye Qingyu, there were many who thought that Xuan Tian was the best candidate to step into the clan elder's shoes.
He stood in front of the defense tower and stared at the dark night sky in the distance. The boundless darkness shrouded the ground in the distance, so he couldn't see clearly.
He had a bad premonition.
He felt as though something terrible was about to happen.
Then, large swathes of the stars flickers in the distant night sky and there a star that shone exceptionally brightly and continued to glow even brighter as though it was making its descent down to the ground. It moved incredibly quickly and almost reached the east gate in a blink of an eye.
"Oh no..." Xuan Tian exclaimed in shock.
This was not a star but rather, it was an airship.
It was a mysterious airship which flickered with dim silver light. It had a streamlined body and was several thousand meters long. What differentiates it from ordinary warships was that this airship was completely enveloped by a silver armored shell and did not have any deck, nor railings. It traveled like a huge dragon along the void as it slowly approached the east gate.
Was that an enemy attack?
Impossible. The east gate faced the dark underbelly of the Dark Realm and other than those strong and barbaric dark beasts, the other areas were all under the control of Royal City, so why would enemy troops be attacking from this direction?
This airship also had a very strange appearance.
He mulled over this strange appearance but still immediately ordered his troops to be on guard and get ready for battle.
The strange silver warship was fast approaching the east gate.
The warship's beauty became more evident as it drew closer. Its streamlined body was extremely aesthetically pleasing, its large silver metallic body created a violent and powerful visual impact and it was shrouded in a faint strange dark blue light shield. It floated in the void silently and there was no sign of yuan qi energy waves nor the aura of a formation, so it wasn't clear how it managed to fly in the void.
"What kind of monster is that?"
Xuan Tian and his men looked at each other in dismay.
"Go and have a look to see what exactly is that thing. If it moves any closer, shoot it down immediately," Xuan Tian commanded. He was surprised at the appearance of this warship, but he didn't take it seriously since he had clearly sensed that there were absolutely no yuan qi energy waves coming from it, so it couldn't have been very powerful.
However, a light door suddenly opened from the bottom of the warship, then a ray of white flowing light shot out from it.
What was that thing?
Xuan Tian and the others looked at it in shock.
"Woof woof woof..." a strange barking noise sounded.
The white ray of flowing light that had shot out earlier turned out to be a large white dog that was about two to three meters in length. This dog wore a mysterious silver armor and there were even two silver wings on its back. This armor seemed to be made from metal and there were several odd gun barrels on its wings. The dog had the same number of gun barrels on its right and left side that were lined neatly. Upon closer observation, one would realize that there were gun stands on the dog's stomach and limbs of varying shapes, but they were all very thin and they were the size of a child's arm. There weren't any yuan qi nor formation energy waves from them either, so no one could tell what they were meant to do.
The strangest part about this dog was that it wore a strange helmet on its head that was half-transparent and looked like a flowing eye mask. It was incredibly odd.
"Woof woof woof, the Heavenly Fighter Demon Emperor Little Nine has arrived, so why aren't you opening the gates to welcome me?" Two rays of dark blue light burst out from behind the strange white dog's buttocks and as though it had teleported, it immediately stood in the void and spoke.
