Chapter 1608 - 1605: Defeating Wu Badao!
"Yes, Family Head, if we don’t seize the blessings from heaven, we’ll certainly regret it!"
Sun Heng also believed this was a heaven-sent opportunity, and immediately stepped forward to persuade.
Seeing this, others also chimed in with phrases like "A heaven-sent opportunity, not to be missed when the timing is right," and "If we don’t seize heaven’s blessings, we’ll certainly regret it."
Seeing the morale was high, Wang Chao cleared his throat and said, "Alright, since destiny cannot be defied, our Wang Family will comply with fate. Our honor and disgrace, life and death, hinge on this moment!"
Then, Wang Chao ordered his capable officers to take over the city gates in the east, south, west, and north.
He personally led the Wang Family’s elite guards of thirty thousand, heading mightily toward the Royal Palace to support Li Chen.
Meanwhile, above the Royal Palace:
Wu Badao’s bright yellow battle robe fluttered loudly in the fierce wind.
His eyes were disdainful as he raised the Green Rainbow Sword high and slashed towards Li Chen.
"Thousand Shadows Slash!"
Sword Intent filled the sky, like a Divine Dragon soaring up and down, either roaring at the sky or displaying fierce claws.
Soon, it enclosed Li Chen tightly within.
Seeing this scene, Li Chen’s pupils involuntarily shrank slightly.
Wu Badao’s Thousand Shadows Slash was quite similar to his own Thousand Layers Slash, a unique and ingenious similarity.
Thinking of this, Li Chen no longer hesitated, abandoning the Seven-star Dragon Abyss and revealing the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword.
He planned to use Thousand Layers Slash to counter Wu Badao’s Thousand Shadows Slash, to see whose Sword Dao was superior.
Seeing Li Chen abandon the Seven-star Dragon Abyss and instead wield an incomparably huge heavy sword, Wu Badao was again confused.
He completely couldn’t understand what kind of medicine Li Chen was selling in his gourd.
However, he thought it unnecessary to figure this out.
Under his unique skill, Thousand Shadows Slash, Li Chen had no chance of surviving.
To ponder the thoughts of a dying person seemed a pointless endeavor.
Li Chen stood poised in the void, raised the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword high, standing tall like a colossus.
"Thousand Layers Slash!"
At Li Chen’s shout, the violent Sword Intent immediately transformed into massive waves, surging madly forward.
Boulders flew in all directions, crashing waves beat upon the shore, rolling up heaps of snow!
"Boom!"
Wu Badao’s sky-full sword light and Li Chen’s violent Sword Intent collided like armies clashing, striking in mid-air.
The surrounding void was completely torn by this peerless Sword Intent, creating cracks in space.
"Thump thump thump!"
"Thump thump thump!"
In this wild collision, Wu Badao and Li Chen simultaneously staggered backward.
Wu Badao’s eyes widened in disbelief; he wouldn’t have expected Li Chen to block his killer technique.
What kind of monster was this, so abnormal?
"Again!"
After stabilizing his body’s center, Li Chen hesitated not a second, quickly stepped forward, and shattered the void with a mighty swing of the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, slashing fierce waves towards Wu Badao.
At this moment, Wu Badao dared not underestimate him again.
He brought forth all his spirit, raised the Green Rainbow Sword high, and clashed with Li Chen again.
"Clang!"
Li Chen and Wu Badao collided wildly in the high air again.
This time, they were still evenly matched.
The violent True Yuan spread in the sky like invisible ripples, leaving desolation wherever it passed.
Just as their fierce battle was at its peak, a noisy sound suddenly emerged from below.
Wu Badao keenly noticed that Wang Chao had led thirty thousand elite guards into the Royal Palace.
The commanders of the Royal Palace Guards had already been killed by Li Chen, leading to a situation without leadership, making it impossible to organize effective resistance.
The powerful force Earth Network, secretly managed by the Wu Family, was under the direct control of Zhuge Hu and Wu Badao.
Others, including the Ninth Prince Wu Changwen, couldn’t mobilize it.
Now Zhuge Hu had been killed by Li Chen, and Wu Badao was too occupied to effectively issue orders in time.
Moreover, the Wang Family had suddenly decided to revolt, catching the Royal Palace off guard.
Additionally, the palace contained traitors planted by the Wang Family, stirring chaos and panic during the palace’s turmoil.
Thus, the army led by Wang Chao proceeded smoothly.
At the outer palace, they encountered no significant resistance.
Many soldiers originally loyal to the Forbidden Army even changed sides in battle, serving as the vanguard for the Wang Family.
Upon reaching the inner palace, Deputy Commander Luo Jie attempted to stop them with over ten thousand Forbidden Army troops, trying to use advantageous terrain for defense.
Due to the inner city palace’s solidity and its defensive Restriction Formation above it,
the Wang Family’s army faced setbacks, suffering not insignificant losses.
However, when Wang Chao, the second strongest after Wu Badao, personally took action, swiftly killing Luo Jie, the more than ten thousand Forbidden Army troops scattered like birds and beasts, defeated and fleeing in all directions.
Wang Chao didn’t pursue the fleeing soldiers but ordered his army to advance deeper inside.
Intensely watching Wu Badao and Li Chen’s battle, Wu Changwen was horrified when he saw Wang Chao leading troops inside.
"Father, Father, Wang Chao has rebelled, rebelled..."
His panic-stricken calls caused Wu Badao, fiercely battling Li Chen, to become distracted.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Chen launched a decisive attack, swiftly approaching with a Particle Dagger aimed at Wu Badao’s Life Gate.
Wu Badao was shocked and hurried to defend.
However, Li Chen’s attack was extremely swift, and the angle very cunning, almost impossible to guard against.
Moreover, the Particle Dagger moved at light speed.
The hurriedly constructed defense by Wu Badao couldn’t withstand it.
"Zzzzap!"
The sound of "Zzzzap" echoed as Wu Badao’s defensive system, like a piece of cloth cut by a sharp dagger, instantly broke apart.
"Slash!"
After penetrating Wu Badao’s defense, the Particle Dagger didn’t lose its sharpness and continued aiming at Wu Badao’s Life Gate.
Wu Badao desperately used his arm for defense, employing an abandon-fish-to-save-the-shark strategy, sacrificing the tail for survival.
"Crunch!"
Wu Badao’s arm was neatly severed by Li Chen’s Particle Dagger.
"Shlurp!"
Suddenly, blood gushed like a waterfall, staining the entire Royal Palace.
By sacrificing an arm, Wu Badao secured a moment to catch his breath.
Gritting his teeth, he thrust into the void, retreating explosively along a seemingly impossible trajectory.
Only when he had retreated thousands of feet, reaching a safe distance, did he dare stop.
At present, he was battered and bloodied, looking utterly wretched, forming a stark contrast to his previous commanding and peerless demeanor.
