Chapter 1781: Breaking the Promise!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Hwooo! A gust blew through the desolate garden, and what followed was an eerie silence punctuated only by Su Zhengchen’s sighs.

After a long while, a voice came from behind Su Zhengchen. “Old Master… are you really going?”

The Su Residence’s old steward slowly stepped forward and bowed, sneaking a worried glance at Su Zhengchen’s back. His master was completely different from usual, and what had been a placid lake had suddenly surged with ripples. Such a thing had never happened to his master before.

While he had always hoped that his master would one day be able to leave this residence and the emotional scars it represented, after working toward this for several decades, now that it was imminent, he suddenly felt reluctant. He did not know if this was a good or bad thing for his master.

After a long silence, Su Zhengchen gave his response.

“That child has too much on his shoulders. He’s already done his best in this battle! He should not be fighting alone!”

Although he had not been participating in this battle, he had been watching this entire time. Wang Chong had done as much as he could with his ten thousand soldiers to resist the First Prince. That he had reached this stage with only this much was incredibly admirable.

It was only right that his master help him out with the rest.

“Haaah…”

The steward sighed, understanding Su Zhengchen’s choice.

Buzz!

A moment later, Su Zhengchen pressed down the arms of his chair and slowly stood up. Su Zhengchen’s energy had been restrained, making him seem like an ordinary elder, but at this moment, a vast energy exploded out of him like a mountain erupting out of the earth. At this moment, the entire world seemed to lose its luster.

“Your Majesty Taizong, I’m sorry! It seems that I must break the promise I made with you!”

After softly muttering into the wind, Su Zhengchen vanished from the estate.

Bang!

The split second Su Zhengchen vanished, an astounding beam of Sword Qi soared out of the Su Residence, a vast pillar of energy that cut through the heavens.

“This is—”

The world seemed to fall silent as this Sword Qi rocketed upward, countless eyes staring in wonder at this dazzling beam of energy.

At Chongsheng Gate, the Tianfu Divine Lord and Tianshu Divine Lord were nigh unstoppable, leaving corpses piled up in front of them. Nearby, the Lone Silence Ancestor, Bai Hanzhou, and Li Siye were all covered in wounds and lying prone on the ground.

Though they had tried their best, they were still no match for this pair. If Bai Hanzhou hadn’t critically wounded the Tianshu Divine Lord, they would probably already be dead.

“For daring to oppose this god, all of you must die!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord and Tianfu Divine Lord were preparing to finish off the Lone Silence Ancestor and the others when they suddenly grimaced and turned to the south, looking in the direction of the Su Residence.

“Who’s this?”

Both of them widened their eyes upon sensing that heaven-soaring sword intent. At their level of cultivation, they had little regard for anyone else. As they constantly said, mortals were nothing but ants to them. But they felt threatened by this Sword Qi.

More importantly, they both sensed that this energy was coming their way.

Buzz!

But a moment later, that Sword Qi disappeared, and at the same time, a horrific beam of power swept across the night sky and rapidly approached the Imperial Palace.

“Su Zhengchen!”

Hou Junji instantly recognized this rapidly approaching energy, and his heart thumped while his face nastily scowled.

“Old fool! Didn’t you say that you weren’t coming out? What are you doing!?”

Even though he had been constantly trying to make Su Zhengchen break that oath he had made with Taizong so that they could have a final confrontation, that had only been before.

The battle of strategists was over, and what remained was a competition of brute strength. Hou Junji had wanted to draw out Su Zhengchen, but not at this time, and not in this way.

“Master!”

Wang Chong also sensed Su Zhengchen’s energy and rejoiced.

……

At the Imperial Palace gate…

Clangclangclang!

The several thousand Penal Court soldiers were guarding the gate and warily observing their surroundings. Suddenly, the weapons at their waists began to fiercely tremble, and even their armor began to clatter.

“Wh-what’s happening?”

They stared at each other in confusion.

“Look! What’s that?”

A Penal Court soldier pointed into the distance, and everyone turned to look. But a moment later, in a gust of wind, a blurry figure brushed past them and through the gate.

“Kill!”

At this time, even though the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation had been broken, causing the Center, Qian, and Kun Gates to be lost, there were still scattered battles taking place, still soldiers rushing over to the three gates and the Chongsheng Gate to reinforce them, not aware of the situation.

Whoosh!

A white-bearded elder dressed in casual robes suddenly appeared within the Imperial Palace.

“Who is it?!”

A group of Eastern Palace soldiers seething with killing intent was about to rush off to Chongsheng Gate when they saw this elder and coldly glared at him.

“Where did this old fool come from?!”

“Don’t worry about it! Just kill him!”

The Imperial Palace tonight was fraught with danger, and anyone who appeared here was an enemy, even this old man who appeared so weak that he couldn’t even truss a chicken. By appearing here, he had signed his death certificate.

The Eastern Palace soldiers gripped their weapons and prepared to charge over and chop this mysterious elder into pieces.

But a moment later, the elder raised his eyes, and then the hundreds of Eastern Palace soldiers were flying backward through the air. They slammed into the surrounding walls and slid to the ground.

It had all happened in the blink of an eye, and through some mysterious means, the old man had struck and instantly rendered them powerless. The elder looked away, stepped forward, and vanished like a ghost.

“Ah! My sword!”

“My armor!”

One of the Eastern Palace soldiers cried out in alarm. When he had grasped for it with his right hand, he discovered that his sword had been pulverized in its sheath.

At the same time, there was a great clattering as the soldiers realized that the armor they wore had been sliced to pieces and now cascaded to the ground.

“Just who was that?”

Everyone stared in the direction the elder had vanished in shock.

Past the Center, Qian, and Kun Gates, the battle was fierce.

“Kill!”

Even though the Imperial Army had been scattered and broken, there was still a significant number of soldiers within the Imperial Palace.

This was no problem when Li Siye’s forces were pressing forward with unstoppable momentum, but now that their offensive had been halted, the Imperial Army soldiers were recovering and converging.

Buzz!

In a flash of light, Su Zhengchen appeared where the fighting was fiercest.

“Kill him!”

Upon seeing Su Zhengchen, several Eastern Palace soldiers, their eyes red with bloodlust, immediately charged over.

These men were so overcome with rage and bloodlust that they would immediately attack anyone who wasn’t on their side.

Su Zhengchen’s eyes turned cold. Without a word, he stepped forward. Bang! There was no ripple of Stellar Energy, and those Imperial Army soldiers didn’t even know what was going on as they flew through the air and crashed into the soldiers behind them.

“Ah!”

Explosions rumbled across the battlefield. Each one of those soldiers had been like a cannonball, knocking back several dozen Imperial Army soldiers with each impact.

“Kill!”

Upon seeing this, hundreds of Eastern Palace soldiers turned to charge at Su Zhengchen.

“Ah!”

But before they could even get within several dozen feet, they rammed into an invisible barrier and were blasted backward.

This sight immediately drew in even more attention from the rest of the combatants.

“Kiiiiill!”

War cries shook the heavens as more and more soldiers converged on Su Zhengchen.

They couldn’t see what was going on, but they were certain that there were many enemies there, so they charged without hesitation.

Bang!

With an earthshattering boom, all the warhorses shrieked, and thousands of soldiers screamed as they were struck by a massive wave of energy and thrown up into the air like they were pieces of paper.

In this entire process, Su Zhengchen hadn’t moved a muscle, and there wasn’t even a tiny ripple of Stellar Energy from his body. It was like those soldiers were knocking themselves away.
