Chapter 1021: The Saint Lord Spits Blood!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Outside Yue Zhong's room within the Red Dawn Holy Palace, the Saint Lord and the 4 Saint Children stood quietly.
The Saint Lord swept Hong Xia a glance, who smiled lightly and pressed on the door.
The door immediately slid into the ground noiselessly.
At that same instant, the Saint Lord burst forth with his Type 7 strength, his eyes flashing coldly. His hands were stretched out like claws, grabbing the sleeping 'Yue Zhong'.
The 4 Saint Children also rushed forward to occupy the various points of the room in a flash.
"Got it!!" The Saint Lord chuckled, as though he had already seen the image of him breaking through to the Type 8 realm, becoming invincible. His dreams of living to a thousand years were within reach. He slapped out at 'Yue Zhong's head and a powerful violet energy blasted out.
However, at the next moment, his face flashed with shock, as the clone on the bed dissipated.
Seeing that, it was as though all his dreams and hopes disappeared, replaced by a sense of despair. His anger burst forth, causing his handsome face to contort, and he roared out like a wild beast, "Fake!! How can this be?!?! Where's the real one?!! Where's the real Yue Zhong?!"
A peak-Type 7 expert was already considered a true powerful existence towards the path of gods.
In his fury, even without any movements, his aura thrashed out, causing the bed in front of him to be chopped up in multiple pieces.
The faces of the 4 Saint Children also fell, their bodies trembling. They knew that while the Saint Lord was usually cordial with them if he was truly enraged, he could end their lives. It was not the first time that he had killed a Saint Child.
The Saint Lord raised his head, his eyes flaring with flames of fury, locking onto Hong Xia. His quiet voice was thick with killing intent, "Hong Xia!!! Where is he?!!"
Having his dreams and hopes disappearing like that had caused the Saint Lord to become like a ferocious beast. His aura was now filled with rage and killing intent.
Hong Xia was pale, as she tried to placate him, "Your Majesty, since he's here to obtain our technology, he shouldn't have gone far. Our defenses are tight and powerful. It would definitely be tough for him to move about himself. He should still be around here somewhere. We just have to be on the lookout, and we should be able to capture him."
The Saint Lord stared at her deeply, ordering slowly, "Convey my orders, the Saint Lands is under lockdown now, Level 1 Status, and our target is Yue Zhong."
Hearing that, the faces of the 4 Saint Children turned worse.
The states of emergency within the Saint Lands were separated by 9 levels, with the 1st being the highest. The Level 1 Status refers to only when it was truly a life-and-death situation for the Saint Lands. Once activated, even those cultivating old freaks would come out and fight for their home.
Although it felt improper, the 4 Saint Children did not dare say anything to refute.
Regardless of how mighty a person was, once old age caught up, there will be lapses in judgment. Qin Shi Huang, Wu Ze Tian and even Li Long Ji, there were all wise and powerful leaders when they were young. However, as they grew older, they became muddled. The Saint Lord might be a demon-level existence, but he was old after all. In order to live on, what more it was an additional thousand years, he could not care any less.
At this time, one of the beautiful Red Dawn guards came running in, "Palace Head!! Something's wrong!! Something's happened!!"
The Saint Lord's eyes turned frosty, as he reached out and grabbed the guard, barking, "What happened?! Speak!!"
The Red Dawn Guard saw that the Saint Lord was a little crazed and she was shocked, as she quickly explained, "Your Majesty, it is those aliens. They're here, and their numbers are more than 10 times than the daytime. All 18 cities have sent signals for help. 2 of them have already lost all their resistance, while the rest are barely holding out."
The Saint Land grabbed the clothes of the Red Dawn Guard, his voice turning chilly as he barked out with killing intent, "Impossible!! In order to defend against those aliens, I've already sent out 2,000 Saint Soldiers to every single city. There are even 6 other Palaces in charge of defending, how could they be taken out so fast?! Are you lying to me?!"
One other elite guard who had come right behind kneeled in front and quickly spoke in a loud voice, "Your Majesty!! Yu He is speaking the truth!! The aliens are too many to count, and their assault this time is much more ferocious!! Please come and take command!!"
The Saint Lord swept his gaze across them and finally calmed down. He released the Red Dawn Guard and spoke out, "Wen Yuan, it's you. Seems like this is true. Shit!! Those beasts deserve death!! I will definitely kill all of them!! THat's the only way I could be appeased!!"
"Let's go!!"
After that, the Saint Lord headed back towards the Saint Peak. It was where the command center was, and the central computer could be controlled from there.
Soon, he came into the palace.
"This is…? Shit!! He went down!!"
The Saint Lord saw the crystal throne that was shifted, and his scalp turned numb, and a sense of crisis welled up in his mind.
Deep within the basement, in front of the central computer, there were many technicians lying in pools of their own blood.
Yue Zhong was in front of the central computer, his handheld tablet connected to the central computer. All of a sudden, there was a notification from his wrist, as Bai Yi spoke, "The target has appeared."
Yue Zhong laughed, "He's here? Good. Show me the images."
"Yes!"
All of a sudden, the crystal images in the palace showed Yue Zhong's image.
"Hello there, Saint Lord. Pleased to meet you. I'm Yue Zhong, and I'm very thankful for your generosity, your gifts of heritage are truly appreciated." Yue Zhong laughed lightly, and the image flashed to the treasury.
When the Saint Lord saw the now-empty treasury that was once filled with the collection of resources over centuries of hard work, he was overcome with shock and anger, that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He had been the one intending to steal everything from Yue Zhong, but the opposite had happened instead.
The killing intent within his eyes disappeared, as he spoke slowly, "Yue Zhong, I know you can hear me. Return the things immediately, and I'm willing to exchange technologies with you. I know you represent a faction from another world. As long as you return the items, our Saint Lands can be your ally."
Yue Zhong waved the handheld tablet in his hand as he chuckled, "My apologies, I'm no longer interested in your proposition. Can you see this? My computer had already obtained all the information and secret of your Saint Lands. Even the top 10 martial techniques. Once again, I thank you for your gifts. I've truly gained big this time. Oh yes, this time, I have to thank Hong Xia. Hong Xia, thank you, if you had not given me so many secrets, I would not have made it in so easily. You had better run, the Saint Lord will definitely not pardon you. Let's meet at the agreed place!"
After that, his image disappeared from the crystal screens.
Hearing his words, the Saint Lord was so infuriated and agitated that his eyes turned bloodshot, as he swiveled around to stare at Holy Maiden Hong Xia, his body emitting a terrifying aura.
Hong Xia turned extremely white, as she stammered, "It wasn't me!! I'm not his partner!! If I had been, how would he expose me in front of you?! It was the first time meeting him today!! Your Majesty!! Please believe me!!"
Holy Son Gui Long fell silent, before speaking up, "Your Majesty, it should not be Hong Xia. He must have spoken nonsense to drive a wedge between us, causing us to kill among ourselves. That would be the time he used to escape. The matter at hand is important, we need to capture him first, and prevent him from leaving."
The Saint Lord fell silent as well, before nodding slightly, and swept a glance at the tunnel, "I need to command the battle. The 4 of you, go chase after Yue Zhong. It doesn't matter if you bring him to me dead or alive."
"Yes!"
The 4 Saint Children responded respectfully and charged towards the tunnel.
"Damn brat Yue Zhong, when I catch you, I will tear you apart!!"
Once the 4 Saint Children left, he let out an enraged howl and slammed down with his feet. The crystal ground that could withstand even a missile blast started to crack. It was apparent that the force of the enraged Saint Lord was truly even more terrifying than a missile back on Earth.
Just as he vented his frustrations, all of a sudden, the Saint Peak started to rumble. A few of the mountains opened up, as the most powerful trump card - Saint Lands Protector Battleships soared into the skies.
A total of 12 of them flew up into the skies.
"NO!!!!!"
Seeing that, the Saint Lord let out a roar of despair, he could no longer care about commanding the battle, as he channeled the atmospheric energy to chase after the Saint Lands Protector Battleships.
The 12 Protector Battleships were the final weapons created over thousands of years. Every one of them required 2 Type 7 nuclei to work, and over dozens of Type 6 nuclei.
In terms of assault power, a single one of them was many times more powerful than the Storm Battleship obtained from the 3rd World.
Yue Zhong had gotten it as a form of transport from the floating city previously, thus its firepower was naturally incomparable to these Protector Battleships.
In front of these 12 Protector Battleships, even the Sky Fortress built by China was merely a toy.
After they flew off, countless drones and fighter jets flew out from the Saint Lands, forming a huge fleet that joined the 12 Protector Battleships, flying off into the distance.
From one of the Protector Battleships, a holographic image was shot out, revealing Yue Zhong's image that laughed, "Your Majesty, thank you for your gifts, you don't have to be so kind as to send me off. Please head back!"
Seeing that, the Saint Lord was further agitated, coughing out another mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "Yue Zhong, I'm going to kill you!!"
Yue Zhong had made use of Bai Yi to steal all the airships, crippling the Saint Land's might by half. This was a huge blow to the Saint Lord.
"Enough!!" Zi Long!! Your task is to command the Saint Lands and defend against those aliens!! We will avenge today's matters in the future!!"
Just as the Saint Lord was about to throw all hesitation in his mind to give chase, 8 old men shot out from the Saint Lands, and one of them barked out.
The Saint Lord swept them a gaze, and suppressed the fury in his heart, "I got it! Greater Elder!"
These 8 old men were the Greater Elders of the Saint Lands, each of them possessing a mid-Type 7 realm strength. The 2 leaders were at the peak of the Type 7 realm, their combat strength surpassing the Saint Lord's.
The Saint Lord shot one last glance towards Yue Zhong's direction, before turning around to head back, "Yue Zhong, today's matters, I will not forget it!! I will definitely tear you apart!!"
Currently, all around the Saint Lands, the countless aliens were pouring into the cities, taking to the darkness like fish in water. They slaughter the humans that the say saw, consuming them. Many of the armies were defeated in their relentless assault.
Even if the Saint Lands had sent out Type 6 experts, there was no way of resisting the assault of the aliens.
After all, within those of the same rank, the aliens were terrifying existences. Furthermore, this time, the numbers of the experts defending could not compare to the aliens, the result would be worse than the daytime.
As the alien swarm continued to pour into the cities, all of a sudden, a huge light beam covered with mysterious runes extended from the 18 cities.
