Chapter 699: Chapter 15: Re-entering the Dream Palace, the Ultra Ninth Rank Colossal Puppet Divine Weapon!_2
"Marquis Yuan Rang, Bay Island has been attacked by unidentified forces!"
The person nodded, "You don’t need to panic, pacify the civilians. I have already killed the leader, and the rest are fleeing. I am in pursuit."
"Huh?" Sun Shizhao was stunned.
...
Fifteen minutes ago, General Jin Hou had led his subordinates, moving quietly through the pathways of clouds, descending stealthily from the west onto Twin Bays Island.
"General, there’s a hidden sentry," said Jin Hou’s deputy, "three people using a Water Repelling Pearl to hide three miles southwest under a covert lookout."
"There is also a patrol team in the northwest, likewise with four hidden sentries."
"Kill the hidden sentries, capture the patrol guard," Jin Hou said casually.
The warship was completely invisible, undetectable even by the standards of Twin Island.
There are only two scenarios for maritime defense; either they cannot enter, or if they do, it signifies rampant killing.
Due to the frontline defense of the Eastern Sea Army and the Water Clan Tribal Army, these two lines of defense were already the strongest maritime forts of Great Zhou.
With the latest maritime defense maps and a merchant fleet as internal supporters, they could sneak in here, reaching a relatively weaker link. The defenses of the county island couldn’t possibly be very high.
Of course, now that vigilance in the East Sea had intensified, they also needed to fight a quick battle and flee, for General Jin Hou was a relatively young Fourth Grade and not the type at the end of his lifespan executing suicidal attacks.
After wreaking havoc, he needed to find somewhere to hide, possibly reemerging a few months or even a year or two later.
"Quickly extract the critical information, infiltrate the Twin Cities. Once inside the city, you only have half an hour to focus solely on the officials; ignore the civilians."
"Let me reiterate, try not to kill them. Use the Blood Kui Skill to degrade their realm, stealing the fortunes from Great Zhou’s officials is the priority," Jin Hou spoke indifferently.
Why was he here? Because, after collaborating with his sect, he had attained the Stealing Fortune Technique!
While degrading their realm, he could steal part of Great Zhou officials’ fortunes.
Not killing them meant the court would still have to compensate the officials, causing more damage than killing them.
"General, the interrogation is complete, he says there’s..."
"He is lying, you’ve been deceived," Jin Hou slammed a palm on the captured Recovery Army officer of the Seventh Rank.
A crimson handprint imprinted on his forehead, then pierced through from the back.
Tiny specks of light scattered from this officer’s body, yet still, some parts were swept back by blood energy.
"Gurgle—" Jin Hou devoured it, and instantly, the officer’s face turned deathly pale.
After that palm strike, he was reduced to the Early Eighth Grade; all the gifts from the court were gone!
"Not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth," Jin Hou waved his hand, "quickly, storm into the city."
"Yes."
Everyone leaped from the dark golden warship, even Jin Hou himself left the ship, leaving only a few to guard it.
The warship didn’t sail directly into the city to avoid being recorded and leaving traces; stopping outside the island was no issue.
But just then—
"Swoosh!"
A streak of sword light suddenly appeared a kilometer to the south.
Sword Qi! A powerful Sword Qi surged like an Azure Dragon, and this path seemed to suddenly burst through from the void.
Jin Hou felt as though his scalp was about to explode, a dense sense of crisis overwhelming his heart.
After years of fighting, he had faced several life-threatening moments, but this was the most intense.
As his body trembled, turning to face the source of his fear, the Azure Dragon Sword Energy was already upon him.
At this moment, except for Jin Hou, no one else had reacted, still flying forward.
"Floating Snow!" In the face of life-threatening danger, Jin Hou’s mind and spirit peaked, and his saber technique reached unprecedented power.
With a breakthrough in battle, as his saber flickered, the sky seemed to be filled with falling snowflakes.
Jin Hou’s saber, in that instant, finally caught up with the speed of the sword energy.
Normally, Jin Hou would have been elated by this as the power of his Floating Snow was nearly approaching the attack strength of the Perfect Fourth Grade.
But now, only fear consumed him! ƒreewebɳovel.com
For when his saber energy touched the Azure Dragon, it was instantly shattered by the dragon claws.
The Azure Dragon Sword Energy, carrying a force unstoppable, smashed his saber energy with the utmost ferocity.
"Clang!"
The Sixth Rank Middle Grade Flowing Light Saber in Jin Hou’s hand was struck from his grip by the sword energy.
The blade spun rapidly, slicing like a sharp cutting disc, severing the bodies of ten martial masters and three deputy generals beside him.
And he himself was struck by the Azure Dragon Sword Energy.
"Pfft~"
Jin Hou’s armor shone dazzlingly, the chest armor caving in sharply, as if curled like a shrimp.
"Bang!" Though the sword energy did not penetrate the armor, with its force weakened by seventy percent, the remaining thirty percent created a terrifying impact, shattering his golden bones and piercing through his heart.
"Such exquisite Sword Dao..." Jin Hou savored his own death, a look of intoxication on his face.
People like him, living on the edge of the knife and infiltrating a mighty nation like Great Zhou, were always prepared for death.
"To die under such Sword Dao is not unjust," General Jin Hou remarked, as he was not even knocked back.
The power of the Sword Qi, constrained entirely by its wielder’s Dao, focused intensely at one point, without the slightest leakage, fierce, domineering, yet possessing extreme penetrability.
That was the realm he had pursued all his life.
"General? General?!"
Only when Jin Hou’s aura rapidly faded, and he began to fall as he could no longer sustain flight, did anyone react.
Because everything happened so quickly, from Jin Hou’s saber being flung, affecting over a dozen people, to the exhaustion of his life force and his fall, it was all just a momentary event.
