Peerless War God

Within the pavilion, the Third Prince’s veins popped out as he roared angrily.    

His subordinate shuddered and swallowed his saliva before hurriedly saying, “Third Highness, the Divine Capital City had a huge explosion, and the King’s Residence of the Duan family was flattened.”    

“Crack.”    

The Third Prince’s body trembled as the wine cup in his hand was crushed into powder, and the wine spilled all over the floor.    

His subordinate’s face turned pale as he hurriedly knelt down. If the Third Prince was enraged, then the consequences would be unimaginable.    

The Third Prince closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He tried his best to digest this news, but when he opened his eyes, he became much calmer.    

“Get up, it has nothing to do with you.”    

“Thank you, Your Highness.”    

“How is the King’s Residence of the Duan?” The Third Prince asked with concern.    

“We don’t know if he’s alive or dead. When we received the news, we immediately came to report it, but the center of the explosion seems to be in the King’s Residence of the Duan, so I’m afraid it’s very likely that he’s dead.”    

The subordinate said in a low voice.    

Hearing this, the Third Prince sneered, and his eyes were filled with a murderous and cold intent. “Old Seventh, this is to establish your might. Even the Uncle of King Duan isn’t willing to let you off. You’re really ruthless and unscrupulous. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want with the backing of the Yi Clan and Li Zhan?”    

The Third Prince was furious and extremely angry. He even wanted to kill someone.    

However, he was even more clear that as the commander, he had to remain calm and deal with the situation calmly. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.    

“You want to use a mix of both inside and outside forces to attack the city gate? Heh, that’s a good plan, but it might not be as you wish.”    

The Third Prince cursed with a ferocious expression.    

At this moment, another subordinate rushed over and reported, “Your Highness, after the explosion, a group of mysterious assassins in black clothes charged into the King Duan Residence and started killing. There were no survivors in the residence.”    

When he heard this news, the Third Prince’s entire body trembled, and he became even more furious.    

“Damn it, damn it, damn it all!”    

At this moment, he had never felt so powerless and unwilling before. He could only watch the innocent people die, but he could not do anything.    

“Old Seventh, you’ve gone too far.”    

The Third Prince gritted his teeth and said.    

The Seventh Prince’s move had caused a huge chaos in the capital city at this critical moment. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a move, and then use the mixed forces to attack the city gate.    

This explosion could have happened anywhere, but he had chosen the Imperial Residence of King Duan.    

It was obvious that he was humiliating the Third Prince, slapping his face, and infuriating him.    

The Third Prince took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He asked, “Is the Great General in the city?”    

“Yes, the Great General is guarding the Divine Imperial Palace by himself. No one dares to approach him,” his subordinate replied.    

“Good.”    

The Third Prince’s eyes flashed. With Li Juechen personally guarding the Divine Imperial Palace, there was no need to worry for the time being.    

The most important thing right now was to defend the city gate and break the enemy’s plot.    

After thinking for a moment, the Third Prince shouted, “Let them move as well. Help guard the city, at any cost.”    

“Yes.”    

For a time, the atmosphere in the Divine Capital was turbulent, and it became more and more uneasy.    

…    

“What? The Imperial Residence of King Duan was bombed, and a mysterious assassin broke into the city and killed their entire family. Damn it, where did these thieves come from? They really deserve to die.”    

On the city wall, when Geng Zhong heard his subordinate’s report, he cursed loudly.    

Vice-Platoon Leader Niu stood at the side, his face anxious, “Damn that thief, we must tear him to shreds, only then will we be able to vent our anger.”    

“Generals, what do we do now?” his subordinate asked.    

Geng Zhong and Vice-Platoon Leader Niu exchanged a glance, thinking of a countermeasure.    

After a pause, Geng Zhong said tentatively, “Vice-Platoon Leader Niu, why don’t you go on this trip yourself? We’ll talk about the chaos after we settle it. I will guard the city gate, there will be no mistakes.”    

Vice-Platoon Leader Niu was a little hesitant, but when he saw the chaos in the city and the sounds of battle, he nodded.    

In the current chaotic situation, if he did not settle it as soon as possible and did not do anything, as a garrison general, he would definitely be held accountable in the future.    

It was even to the extent that he would be heavily punished, the consequences unimaginable.    

He took a deep breath and said, “Alright, I’ll go now. General Geng will be in charge of the city gate.”    

“Don’t worry, with me here, we will definitely defend the city gate, we won’t let anything go wrong.”    

Geng Zhong said resolutely, his face solemn.    

“Mm, follow me and go to settle the chaos.”    

“Yes, General.”    

“Yes, general.”    

Vice General Niu did not hesitate. He turned around and gathered his men, rushing out to pacify the chaos.    

Along the way, Vice General Niu rode on the Demonic Blood Warhorses and flew quickly, rushing towards the location of the incident. It was a grandiose and imposing scene.    

As he rushed, one of his subordinates asked, “General, if we leave the city gates just like this and go to pacify the chaos, wouldn’t it be bad if something happens at the city gates?”    

Vice General Niu glared at him and scolded, “You’d better pray that nothing happens at the city gates.”    

“This is just a casual remark.”    

“Heh, at this critical juncture, the god emperor is not out of the palace. The three princes are fighting for the throne, and they are fighting to the death. If something happens at the city gates, our garrison army will be implicated, and it will be a serious crime. Thus, suppressing the rebellion and maintaining the order of the city is the top priority. As for other things, they are not important.”    

Vice General Niu said coldly.    

“Then at the city gates?”    

“The city gates are guarded by Geng Zhong. If something happens, it will be his problem. It’s only right that I send troops to pacify the chaos.”    

Vice General Niu said indifferently.    

Hearing this, the left and right sides were filled with admiration. “General, it’s really high. This way, we’ll be taken out. If we suppress the rebellion, we’ll be considered to have done a great deed.”    

Vice General Niu smiled and said, “Yes, the Divine Capital has always been heavily guarded. It’s not so easy to sneak in, especially when it comes to Immortal Tribulation Transcender experts. The other side wouldn’t dare to cause trouble at this time, so there wouldn’t be many people. It’s just right for us to go and pacify the chaos.”    

There was another thing that he didn’t say.    

On the surface, Geng Zhong maintained a distance from the three princes and didn’t get involved in the competition for the throne. However, not long ago, he had submitted to the Seventh Prince.    

After all, the Seventh Prince had a great momentum. With the help of the Immortal Artifact Sect, he had even obtained the assistance of the Warlord, so his chances of winning were very high.    

For some reason, he had actually become hot-headed and submitted to the Seventh Prince. Vice General Niu couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.    

If the matter of King Duan’s mansion exploding was the Seventh Prince’s main plot, then the Seventh Prince would definitely have conspired with the refugees outside the city.    

At that time, as a lieutenant, it would be the most dangerous for him to stay at the city gate. He would be the first to be killed.    

For the sake of his safety, he requested to leave the city gate and go to the chaotic area. It would be the best for him to stay away from the chaotic area.    

The eyes of his men lit up when they heard that. They said in admiration, "General, you are brilliant."    

"Hmph, cut the crap. Hurry up and kill this group of bandits. We can't let them escape."    

Vice General Niu shouted.    

"Yes."    

"Understood, General."    

At this moment, the entire Divine Capital was on lockdown. The airspace was prohibited. The garrison soldiers marched forward without obstruction.
