Chapter 115 Crimson God Guard
The masked man with the characters "Xuan" and "Di" was momentarily speechless after Shang Wenqing spoke them.
After organizing my thoughts, I realized something was amiss.
Not a fool.
What Shang Wenqing said is indeed not without reason.
In fact.
They only received a tip that the royal airship had been taken out of the warehouse without authorization. According to procedure, the use and return of such a valuable means of transportation as an airship require approval and registration.
The cost of building royal airships, in particular, is astronomical.
They are generally not used for non-major ceremonies or important events.
Therefore, using an airship without registration is considered a crime under the laws of the Crimson Flame Empire.
Royal airships are an even more serious crime.
However, the Empress's token, or rather the Emperor's decree, can be used temporarily in times of emergency.
They hadn't considered this special situation at all; after all, what emergency moment was there now?
At this time, the Empress was probably still holding the morning court session, and her elder brother was also in the court.
But do you think the Empress will use the emergency as an excuse in the end?
Absolutely!
The Third Princess was the Empress's own daughter.
That’s it!
There will only be one outcome in the end!
That caused the discord between the Empress and the Crimson God Guard.
The royal airship was simply too valuable and had not been registered to leave the capital.
Therefore, this was initially identified as a theft.
The Crimson God Guard's top combat force was immediately deployed.
Four generals.
The sky and the earth are dark yellow.
Among them are the two generals of the Earthly Mystery.
All four of them possessed the strength of the ninth level of the Sacred Body.
The leader of the Crimson God Guard is also a Heavenly General, and it is rumored that he is already at the half-step Innate level.
It wasn't until they caught up that they discovered it was the Third Princess who was behind it, and that she possessed the Empress's token.
The man wearing the "Xuan" mask clicked his tongue inwardly and transmitted his thoughts.
"Second brother, have we been tricked?"
"It's all that person's fault for anonymously reporting me in the first place. Damn it, don't let me catch him."
The masked man with the character "地" shook his head, sighed, and began to transmit his voice.
"Things have come to this point, there's no other way but to go all the way. Almost everyone in the Crimson God Palace knows about this. Let's take him back first and let the Empress handle it."
"However, this will undoubtedly strain the relationship between the two sides."
The man in the "earth" mask took a deep breath, and his deep voice came again.
"What you say makes sense, but the imperial edict is not something that just anyone can use. Even imperial princes and their offspring have no right to use it when the situation is unclear."
"We request the Third Princess's cooperation in handing over the Imperial Decree and control of the airship."
"As for you all..."
"Please do us the trouble of accompanying us to the Empress for judgment."
Although the masked man's aggressive demeanor had softened slightly compared to before, he still maintained an unpleasant air of being in complete control.
Su Xiaoqian naturally didn't hold back and retorted.
"I do not!"
"This is a token given to me by the Empress Dowager. You're saying I'm not qualified to use it?"
"Then you have even less right to possess it!"
He immediately hid behind Shang Wenqing.
"That's offending!"
The masked man with the character "地" (earth) suddenly surged with power. Without further persuasion, he gripped a crimson longsword horizontally, and scorching waves of energy violently spread outwards.
The terrifying thrust caused the airship to shake twice in succession.
"Third brother, let's switch. You go and stop that shadow guard."
"Hold back a bit, airships are expensive."
The masked man with the character "Xuan" laughed and summoned a crimson spiritual treasure. Like the long sword, flame-like patterns flowed around it, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary spiritual treasure.
However, what he had was a gun.
"It should have been done a long time ago. Don't worry, let me handle this mudfish."
The shadow guard expressionlessly drew a gray longsword, preparing for the upcoming battle.
A red glint at the tip of the spear.
It points directly to the shadow guard who has been floating in the air.
A streak of red light appeared in the air in an instant.
"when!"
"when!"
"when!"
In the blink of an eye, several sounds of weapons clashing erupted.
"As expected, the fast ones should be left to the fast ones."
The masked man with the character "地" murmured.
Hold the knife in your right hand, extend your index and middle fingers with your left hand, and slide them gently along the blade.
The infinitely compressed saintly energy was injected into the blade through his fingertips.
The crimson longsword hummed.
The blade that was touched by two fingers instantly turned bright red.
Its vibrant red glow outshone even the sunlight at that moment.
The man let out a low growl.
"Burning Heaven Blade Intent, Pursuing Life!"
Shang Wenqing's eyes trembled, feeling as if he were being stared at by one wolf-like gaze after another. He felt a chill run down his spine and cried out.
"Holy crap, a royal-level sword intent!"
"Are you insane?! Are you going to kill your princess along with her?!"
Shang Wenqing hurriedly took out an ancient bronze mirror, exerting all his saintly energy without holding back.
This is a disaster.
This person actually has imperial intentions.
So you were just having a minor skirmish with the Shadow Guards, and now you're going to go all out against me?
"Sky-Turning Mirror! Reverse!"
After being infused with a large amount of saintly energy, the ancient mirror instantly appeared as a huge cyan barrier in front of the two of them. The barrier had sharp edges and corners, as if it were made up of several mirrors pieced together.
"Don't worry, Chasing Life is targeting you!"
The man said coldly.
The blinding crimson blade light burned with raging flames. As the man slashed downwards with his long sword, the blade light broke free from the restraints of the blade like a mad horse!
It crashed straight into the barrier!
The space above the path was surprisingly riddled with deep, dark cracks, like those found in porcelain.
Streams of spatial energy poured out from within.
"boom!"
The battle between spear and shield has only just begun!
At first, the cyan barrier was like a real mirror, completely powerless against the fierce attack of the crimson blade light.
In an instant, it was smashed open, revealing several shocking cracks!
It spread rapidly like a spider web, as if it might collapse and disappear completely at any moment.
But while the sword light has no origin or source, the barrier is ever-renewing.
If it doesn't break on the first try, the outcome is basically already decided.
quickly!
The terrifying energy contained within the crimson blade light began to spread outwards in all directions along the cyan barrier.
Shang Wenqing chuckled.
"You're not doing this either..."
Just as he was about to launch into a few sarcastic remarks, another crimson blade of light slashed horizontally into his vision, growing larger and larger in his pupils, merging with the original crimson blade of light to form a cross.
The sense of oppression is rising.
"Don't talk about martial ethics!!"
"grass!"
"How can it fire in rapid succession?!"
"boom--!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"boom!"
The cyan barrier shattered without a doubt.
The two were far apart in strength, and Shang Wenqing's eighth rank was even weaker than some seventh rank practitioners with a stronger foundation.
Relying solely on magical treasures is ultimately insufficient.
At this moment, Su Xiaoqian also directly felt the suffocating energy pressure after the barrier shattered.
Although, as the man said, it might not harm her, after all, the Crimson God Guards were not on the opposite side of the Crimson Flame Empire, regardless of who was on the throne.
But Shang Wenqing is definitely out of luck; if this blow lands squarely, he'll likely be in grave danger.
I'm going to turn into a roast suckling pig!
