Emperor: "...What is it now?"
Guard: "Your Majesty, the palace gates... have been breached!"
"Inhale!" The emperor exhaled sharply. "How could it be so fast! Are the guards just for show?!"
"Your Majesty, they are all grandmasters, and they bring ferocious war beasts with them. They could crush a whole group of our guards to death with a single stomp!"
The warriors in the hall gasped in shock. Such a massive war beast could be a ferocious beast that had already become extinct.
The two martial saints' eyes lit up. They exchanged a glance. They had let the Flame Eagle King escape yesterday, so capturing a ferocious beast today would be a form of compensation.
"Hmph, those grandmasters and ferocious beasts outside are here to rescue you, aren't they? You're too audacious, you don't even respect our martial arts school!" a martial saint said disdainfully, and then released a palm-sized bird from his chest.
Hearing the heavy footsteps, Chen Ke smiled and said, "You'd better hurry up and call for reinforcements, or you'll be trampled into mincemeat before they arrive."
"Boom!" Just as Chen Ke finished speaking, the palace wall outside the main hall was smashed to pieces by a wild bull. Kalulu stood imposingly on the bull's head and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Chief! We've come to save you!"
"Charge!"
"Kill them!"
"Go!"
"Boom! Clang! Thump thump thump!"
Dozens of wild bulls rushed to the outside of the main hall in an instant, and the once spacious hall was immediately packed with people. The solemn and majestic buildings were reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the main hall, except for Chen Ke, was stunned, as if they had been under a spell.
"Cough cough cough..." Chen Ke coughed twice and walked out calmly.
Karulu and Jue jumped off the bull, their faces splattered with blood, their expressions anxious. "Chief, Chief, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, why are you all here?" Wasn't the Flame Eagle King supposed to go back and report that he would return in a couple of days?
"Lord Flame Eagle said you've been captured, so of course we have to come and rescue you."
Chen Ke: ""
"Where is the Flame Eagle King?"
"He said he went to get reinforcements."
"How dare you! Are you trying to rebel?!" With a furious shout, the emperor, supported by his chief eunuch, strode out.
The emperor was furious. He had expected a massive army, but it turned out to be just a few dozen martial arts masters who had managed to break through the gates of his palace and storm into the main hall. The palace guards were utterly useless!
After learning from the Martial Saint that the martial artists at the martial arts academy had been notified, the emperor could no longer contain his anger.
The two martial saints stood behind the emperor, looking at the raging bull outside the hall with undisguised greed in their eyes.
With so many wild bulls, once the martial artists from the martial arts school arrive, these ancient ferocious beasts will all become their prey!
There are dozens of martial arts schools in the imperial city, each with no fewer than a thousand martial artists, including hundreds of grandmasters or higher, plus martial artists constantly arriving from outside the city…
Thinking of this, the two martial saints exchanged a glance, determined to get their hands on these savage bulls!
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Garuru, Jue, and the other warriors of the Youqi tribe were displeased. "What rebellion? What rebellion are we talking about? We're here to rescue our leader! You're shameless! You owe us money and won't pay it back, and now you want to capture our leader!"
"Yes, shameless!"
"Why is a grown man dressed so brightly!"
"Maybe it's during their heat cycle when they're looking for a mate."
——
The warriors had no concept of the emperor's identity, thinking it was similar to that of a tribal chief, and could curse him without any burden.
"Insolence! Do you all have a death wish?!" The chief eunuch beside the emperor uttered his usual lines without a second thought.
This was the first time in his life that the emperor had been insulted. He was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and he became even angrier. His face turned red, and after opening and closing his mouth for a long time, he finally managed to utter two words, "Insolence!"
As a result, he was so angry that he was trembling, and his imposing manner was not even as strong as that of a eunuch.
Chen Ke began to feel a little sorry for the emperor, probably because it was the first time in his life he had been called shameless.
“Bu Ke, don’t be too smug. The martial arts masters from the martial arts hall are on their way. If you don’t want to die, I advise you to quickly tell your companions to disarm—” The skinny martial arts master originally wanted to say to disarm and surrender, but when he looked up and saw that none of the grandmasters were carrying weapons, he had to change his words: “Quickly tell them to control the bull and beg for mercy and surrender!”
Chen Ke hadn't originally intended to do anything, but he didn't like hearing the Martial Saint speak like that.
"Since that's the case, then... let's deal with you before the martial artists arrive!" After saying that, Chen Ke moved and headed straight for the Martial Saint behind the emperor. He also held a grudge. These two had almost plucked the feathers from the Flame Eagle King. If he didn't avenge that stingy guy, who knows how angry he would be when he got back.
The two were surprised that Chen Ke would resort to violence without warning, pulling the emperor away and forcing him to step forward.
The emperor, suddenly pulled aside: ......
In the blink of an eye, the three were locked in battle. The two Martial Saints unleashed their blood energy, causing their bodies to swell to a size larger. Chen Ke fought against the two of them, battling his way from inside the main hall to outside.
Zhan Aotian watched anxiously; these were martial saints exchanging blows, and even a grandmaster like him couldn't get involved.
"Protect the Emperor!" A long shout came from the palace road outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a series of incredibly fast and swift figures rushed in from outside the palace walls.
"Martial arts practitioners from the martial arts school! They're our reinforcements! Your Majesty—oh, Your Majesty!" The chief eunuch quickly helped the emperor up from the ground, his face beaming with joy. "Your Majesty, reinforcements from the martial arts school have arrived!"
