Twisted Dreams
Chapter 459 - 527: Long Live the Emperor
Xiaohai looked toward the source of the voice.
In the center of the heavily armed soldiers, an old man dressed like a captain, wearing tattered linen clothes, walked slowly.
The moment Xiaohai saw the old captain, alarm bells rang in his mind.
Strong, very strong!
He had only sensed such a powerful aura from Li Yang.
When he came here, Xiaohai’s Spiritual Power scanned the Imperial Palace and did not find this figure.
This means this person is far stronger than him. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Xiaohai pulled a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, staring at the old captain:
"You are not from East Sakura."
East Sakura People could not possibly have an Extraordinary, this was agreed upon by Xiaohai and Li Yang.
In East Sakura, only beasts could become Demons, but no human could become an Extraordinary.
Unless the Tree of Human Essence came to East Sakura to spread Extraordinary Power, but the Tree of Human Essence wouldn’t disgrace Xiaohai like that.
The old captain spoke fluent East Sakura:
"Hehe, how could I be such a weak insect?"
The old captain was the Celestial Race Legion Commander Nikujiki, who, after devouring the old captain, obtained his memories and naturally spoke fluent Kantou.
"No matter what you are, don’t block my way home!"
Xiaohai erupted, his hands transformed into the claws of the Three-headed Hellhound, with crimson flames burning on them, smashing fiercely toward Nikujiki.
Nikujiki looked at the charging Xiaohai and said:
"My name is Nikujiki."
After speaking, Nikujiki raised his hand and directly grabbed Xiaohai’s claw!
Xiaohai’s pupils shrank suddenly!
His claws had Hellfire on them, a flame that could burn even floods, how could this person touch them so easily?
Xiaohai looked carefully and found that the man’s hand was covered in viscous black liquid.
That eerie liquid was the strongest defense Xiaohai had ever seen!
Xiaohai quickly retreated, opening the distance with Nikujiki, eyes full of caution.
The entire scene was shocked.
They never expected the invincible Great Evil Demon King to suffer defeat at the hands of someone else!
Some people showed happy faces, others had eyes full of deep awe, and some broke into a sweat.
The Empress’s face was filled with a sickly smile, muttering like a madwoman:
"Kill him, kill him, die, die, he must die!"
Xiaohai turned to glance at the Empress, then raised his head and roared!
A cold Yin Qi rampaged through the courtyard.
The guests used their hands to block the gusts, snipers struggled to aim, soldiers lowered their heads to avoid.
Vast amounts of energy gathered around Xiaohai, then his form transformed!
In no time, a giant Three-headed Hellhound appeared in the courtyard.
Those three pairs of eyes were like six lanterns!
Nikujiki’s figure seemed small before the Three-headed Hellhound.
The Three-headed Hellhound roared, spewing a flame toward Nikujiki.
Nikujiki’s body secreted black slime, he walked through the flame like a leisurely stroll.
Fierceness in the six eyes of the Three-headed Hellhound gradually faded, replaced by some panic.
He was facing the most terrifying opponent for the first time.
Nikujiki closed in on the Three-headed Hellhound, swinging a punch toward the Hellhound.
"Boom!"
A casual punch sent the Three-headed Hellhound flying several meters, crashing hard into the house, destroying countless buildings.
The Three-headed Hellhound stood up, pouncing toward Nikujiki again.
Nikujiki grabbed the Hellhound’s claw with one hand, giving a fierce tremble.
The Three-headed Hellhound spewed three mouthfuls of blood, slumping listlessly on the ground.
The Three-headed Hellhound was Tier Five Peak, not reaching Tier Six.
Nikujiki was a genuine Tier Seven!
A Tier Seven fighting a Tier Five is like an adult beating a child.
The Three-headed Hellhound knew he could not win, his mind lingering on Madam Bai and Sesshomaru.
He stood, roaring once more.
The Gate of Hell appeared in the courtyard at the Hellhound’s call.
The Three-headed Hellhound transformed into a black light, darting toward the Gate of Hell.
Nikujiki watched the Hellhound enter the Gate of Hell, eyes full of surprise:
"Such a weak creature actually knows Spatial Technique?!"
Nikujiki grinned, the smile becoming exaggerated, corners spreading to his ears!
He said:
"I, too, happen to know some Spatial Technique."
Nikujiki waved a hand toward the Gate of Hell.
Viscous liquid shot onto the door.
Those black liquids formed chains, binding the gate.
The Gate of Hell could neither close nor disappear.
The Empress rushed out of the feast, nervously asking:
"Has he escaped?"
Nikujiki replied:
"He’s trapped in an Alternate Space.
In your terms, it’s called a Seal.
As long as I live, he won’t escape here."
After speaking, Nikujiki looked at the unclosable space door with interest.
Through the gap of the space door, the Hellhound’s claws and teeth could still be seen, along with its furious roars.
Nikujiki remarked:
"This creature is weak, but it’s quite interesting that it comprehends Spatial Ability."
The Empress breathed a sigh of relief:
"As long as it can’t get out."
She already decided to designate this courtyard as a forbidden zone.
After calming down, the Empress turned her gaze toward the guests present.
She knew who betrayed her, not only from the feast’s display but she also had solid evidence.
The Empress raised her hand, gesturing to the guards:
"Apart from those on the list, take awa iwa Osawa, Sasaki, and Inoue."
The guards had already received a list beforehand.
They responded in unison, walking toward the feast.
The ministers controlled by the guards were in a panic.
Some lowered their posture, pleading:
"Your Majesty, I have no ulterior motives, I was just succumbing to the Great Evil Demon King’s tyrannical power......"
Before the words were finished, the Empress coldly said:
"Your children in the Great Evil Palace won’t survive tonight.
Even if you are loyal to me, you will seek revenge because of the hatred of child-killing."
Those ministers were dumbfounded.
They recalled the Prime Minister already in the Great Evil Palace, does he intend to conduct a massacre!
Some ministers dropped the act, angrily cursing:
"We hold East Sakura’s lifeblood, if we die, East Sakura will fall into chaos!"
The Empress’s eyes surged with fanaticism, she opened arms wide, shouting:
"East Sakura? Hahahahaha, this small land will become part of East Sakura’s history!
East Sakura People will become the Celestial Race’s kin, will become the masters of the world!
Xia Country, Huaqi, Rosi Country, will all be servants under East Sakura!
I will lead East Sakura into a new era, an era controlled by East Sakura!"
The ministers stared in shock at the Empress.
Whether traitors or loyalists, they felt the Empress was insane.
But those loyalists loved such a crazy Empress!
The beastly nature of East Sakura People is to invade, they could call vile deeds righteousness!
"Long live the Empress!"
Some ministers couldn’t help calling out excitedly.
The Empress’s delicate face showed an indescribable excitement.
At this moment, Nikujiki erupted in intense killing intent.
With a wave of his hand, he beheaded the minister.
The sudden change left everyone dumbfounded.
Nikujiki coldly said:
"East Sakura can become the overlord of humanity, but must keep within its bounds.
From now on, anyone who dares speak the name of the Lord of the Celestial Race will meet this fate!"
"Long live the Empress," was the true name of the Lord of the Celestial Race.
