Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 582 - 582 134 Stone Drum_3

582: Chapter 134 Stone Drum_3 582: Chapter 134 Stone Drum_3 At this moment, the Sealed Emperor’s Palace was suspended under the Nine Heavens and had not become invisible again.

The places destroyed by the Mystery Huang World had been restored to new—or at least they appeared that way.

A distorted phantom manifested beneath the imperial palace, revealing the escaping Crown Prince.

The Prince’s East Palace was not located to the east of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace but directly underneath it, at the heart of the Imperial City.

This symbolized having one’s feet firmly on the ground.

As soon as the Crown Prince appeared, he immediately let out a long chant, “All soldiers heed my command, kill the traitors!”

Within the Imperial City, battle formations immediately rose into the air, forming into the shapes of Phoenixes and Dragon Turtles as they roared towards Su He.

Su He let out a thunderous shout, “The Crown Prince is crafty indeed!

He only orders the killing of traitors but doesn’t tell them that the First Prince is still in my hands?”

However, it seemed as though the military divisions hadn’t heard Su He’s threat.

The momentum of their charge did not decrease but instead accelerated, determined to fight to the death.

A quick glance at the eyes of the commanders within the battle formations gave Su He his answer—they were soldiers!

Affairs like playing politics, prisoner exchanges, and various schemes were the responsibilities of scholars and those at the top.

Their orders were to kill the enemy, so that’s what they would do.

No matter who the enemy was, no matter who the enemy held!

True soldiers.

This was the fundamental reason why the Sealed Emperor Great World surpassed the Mystery Huang World, which was dominated by Sects and clans, too burdened by overthinking.

Had Su He taken hostage a son of any Sect Leader from the Mystery Huang World, no disciple from that Sect would dare to act recklessly.

The disparity lay right there.

Su He felt a sense of admiration within his heart.

He then leaped upwards, choosing not to entangle himself with the battle formations.

Each of the two formations contained several who were of the Stepping Sky Six-fold level.

This was not the silk-pillow-feel battle formations gathered by the First Prince, but true battle formations.

If he got entangled, surely more battle formations would come rushing in.

Su He turned and made his escape.

Swinging his fist in all directions at random, without discerning the direction, he let chance dictate his strikes.

With each punch, the Imperial City spontaneously exploded, cries of terror and wails ringing out as chaos ensued.

Within the city, in a place of scenic beauty and charm, two figures rose into the air.

Each held a Hu Board and struck at Su He.

These two were dressed in scholar’s robes, and each point of their Hu Boards released a burst of stirred-up prose.

Their methods bore a striking resemblance to the techniques of the Confucianism of Jixia Academy.

Were these from the Scholar Residence of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace?

Su He roared, throwing a punch that shattered the golden characters and shouted, “Decayed scholars!”

As the words were spoken, the Law followed; the term ‘decayed scholars’ materialized out of his mouth, taking shape and charging toward the two scholars, stamping their foreheads abruptly.

Yet, the two men’s expressions did not change, and they seemed unaffected.

They struck back at Su He once again, shouting, “Dragon Turtle!

As a creature between heaven and earth, holding a grudge against the Sealed Emperor Great World and attacking the Sealed Emperor’s Palace is justifiable, but why wreak havoc in the Imperial City?

There are countless mortals here!”

Su He was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, “How very benevolent of you!

But why is it only you two intercepting me?

Where are the others?

Aren’t they massacring in my Mystery Huang World right now?

Look at your Crown Prince and the Immortal Sword in his hand—does it not drip with the blood of mortals?!”

No, that sword was broken.

Su He snorted and rebuked, “The mortals of your Sealed Emperor Great World are considered mortals, but those of my Mystery Huang World are not?

Last time I came here and did not kill a single mortal, but today your Sealed Emperor Great World conspires to launch a surprise attack on my Mystery Huang World.

You spare not even the dead.

How shameless are you, joining forces at the Heaven Seven-fold level to attack me?

Now that you’ve lost all decency, shut your mouths and stop feigning righteousness!

Fearing to harm mortals, then why did you transport me to the Imperial City?

I was on the snowfields, far from these mortals!

Or perhaps, you would allow me to leave?

Then there would be no need for combat, and no mortals would be hurt!”

The two scholars remained silent, swinging their Hu Boards again at Su He.

Su He laughed mockingly, “It is you who wish to kill mortals, yet you also strive to be seen as virtuous—a bunch of hypocrites.

Wouldn’t you prefer to learn from the Confucianism in my Mystery Huang World, to live freely with your emotions and conflicts?”

With a shout, Su He slammed his fist down, dispersing the gold characters, and the shockwave below crushed market places into powder.

Time to go!

The techniques of these two scholars were strange; prose falling on his fist rolled away, and something akin to a righteous aura existed within it.

It seemed like some law was stripping away Su He’s clothes!

Su He soared upwards, bulldozing his way forward.

Another type of beast joined the battle formation behind him, not just one Divine God Beast, but a swarm!

A swarm of bats swept in, each bat being composed of three Military Division soldiers, forming yet another battle formation that spread out like a net towards Su He.

Su He’s form flashed, the Divine God Machine disappearing, and when he reappeared, he was over the Imperial City Office.

He smashed his fist down, shattering the Imperial City Office’s prison to pieces and with a backward sweep, flung a horde of prisoners in all directions.

This strike threw half of the Imperial City into chaos.

But at that moment, a Formation rose within the Imperial City Office, and a ghostly image of a humanoid beast with one horn lunged at Su He.

Its power was actually no less than a Full Strength Strike from someone at the Stepping Sky Seven-fold level!

Su He did not engage in battle with it, choosing to flee once more.

This time he was smarter, not heading towards government offices or military camps.

He turned over and rammed into the drum tower near the city gate, a dull sound echoing as half the tower collapsed.

The Imperial City had been specially refined; even with a blow endowed with the force of a Bodhisattva, he could not overturn heaven and earth.

As the drum tower crumbled, a Stone Drum rolled down clattering.

Without taking time to think further, Su He grabbed the Stone Drum and hurled it towards the city, aiming at the military camps and Cultivators.

The sound of the drum thundered.

The two scholars from the Academy had caught up, and Su He, seizing the Stone Drum, turned and struck at them.

The scholars spread out their prose, which collided with the Stone Drum, causing an outer layer of stone to fall off, revealing a slightly smaller Stone Drum within.

This looked familiar; the newly revealed drum closely resembled the Stone Drum consolidated by Yuan Lie.

Another from the Yuan Sovereign Clan?

Su He did not linger on the thought.

Taking advantage of a moment when the scholars’ prose had been released and their next piece had yet to materialize, he leaped into the air.

Swinging the Stone Drum, he smashed it down on one scholar’s head, cracking his skull and sending him flying backward, bloodied.
