The Brilliant Fighting Master Chapter 557 - Betrayal!

Jiang Chen left the valley with the team. He felt very emotional, and at the

same time helpless.

It was inevitable for the evil kin to find Whitty. The evil kin should have known

about his existence as soon as the blood of prehistoric fierce beast had

woken in him.

So it was nothing weird that the Evil Kings had come when Whitty was at the

crucial moment of a breakthrough.

He looked back at the Valley, hoping everything would be fine with Whitty in

the Realm of Evil Spirits. Then he went back to the city with the eight

exploitation vehicles.

However, halfway to the city, a horn blew loudly on the battlefield.

Different from the pa.s.sion at the beginning of the battle and the gloom at the

time of retreat, this one sounded sorrowful and dreary.

“This is…this is the sound of mournful horn!”

Tang Zhengyi and others turned pale. They listened silently, counting.

“Nine. The horn blew nine times! It’s nine dragons' sad chimes!”

Everyone became as pale as a ghost. Tang Zhengyi said emotionally, “The

Emperor of Dragon pa.s.sed away!”

“The Emperor of Dragon pa.s.sed away!!”

The others also wailed in a shocking manner.

Jiang Chen was surprised. Of course he knew the Emperor of Dragon

referred to the emperor of the Flying Dragon Dynasty.

The emperor pa.s.sed away in the middle of the war and dirge was played.

Putting the pieces of puzzles together, Jiang Chen thought of the retreat of

the Dragon Rebel Army. He felt nervous about it.

Almost in the meantime, seven beams of light suddenly soared into the sky

from the battlefield.

Although even the closest beam of light was dozens of miles away, Jiang

Chen and others could perfectly perceive the invisible changes around. They

felt they were in water, experiencing a slight resistance.

“The Dragon Rebel Army’s ward is done.” Jiang Chen looked very serious. He

knew there was something wrong.

“But we captured the first city, and we’ve got the dynamic map. How could it

be?”

Jiang Chen couldn’t figure out why. There was only one explanation available

— he had made a big mistake.

Like his equations were wrong because he missed some cities on the

battlefield in his calculation. Or all of his speculations were completely wrong.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t think so. It was impossible for him to make such a

stupid mistake.

“Then there is only one explanation.”

Something suddenly occurred to him. He shouted loudly, “Go back to the city

as soon as possible!”

In the city captured by the three troops and the four battalions, Zhao Wenhao

walked into the Inspection Guard angrily when the dirge was played. He cut a

ten-meter-long horn in two.

“General Zhao, what are you doing?!”

The general of the Inspection Guard said in fury, “The Emperor of Dragon

pa.s.sed away. It’s a great disrespect to interrupt the nine dragons' sad

chimes!”

Zhao Wenhao didn’t bother to argue with him. He slapped across the

general’s cheek right away.

“What do you think the Dragon Rebel Army will do when they hear the nine

dragons' sad chimes? Moron!” Zhao Wenhao’s eyes were red. He was

extremely sorrowful and angry, but he hid it well.

The slap made the helmet of the general of the Inspection Guard fall. He was

bleeding since he had lost some teeth.

“Hehe, what will the Dragon Rebel Army do? Of course they’ll launch an all-

out attack. Otherwise why did we bother to send them the signal?”

The general of the Inspection Guard stopped hiding himself. He showed a

crafty smile. Covering his cheek with his hand, he threw Zhao Wenhao a

rancorous glance.

“Bright Moon Troop…”

Zhao Wenhao was struck dumb. Then he turned pale. He was going to gather

his battle group immediately.

But the Inspection Guard in the city beat him to it. They were not only in

charge of the city, but had split the three troops and the four battalions

perfectly.

Many soldiers, still celebrating their victory, died under the Inspection Guard’s

knife without knowing what had happened.

All weapons were switched on.

Under tragic screams, the Inspection Guard didn’t stop attacking until the

three troops and the four battalions had lost too many people to switch on

their formation again.

In the meanwhile, Zhao Wenhao and the lieutenants beside him were

confined to where they were by an invisible power.

They could do nothing but see everything happening before them.

Soon, the other two corps commanders and the four battalion commanders

were brought, bound by chains which restrained their strengths.

“General, we’re ready!”

A lieutenant who served the Inspection Guard said.

“Let’s start.” The general of the Inspection Guard nodded.

The part of the ward in the city Jiang Chen had destroyed had been restored.

Then the ward was switched on quickly.

Soon, the first beam of light Jiang Chen saw soared into the sky from this very

city.

“Eunuch Cao, you’re betraying your country! You’ll pay a price for that!” The

commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop reproached him in fury.

“Even if you manage to restore the city, the soldiers of the Dragon Rebel

Army stationed in other cities retreated a long time ago. What you're doing is

useless.” Zhao Wenhao couldn’t stay calm at all. The dynasty’s soldiers died

in their own men’s hands after such a desperate battle, which was a great

injustice for them.

“Yeah?” The general of the Inspection Guard, namely Eunuch Cao, sneered.

Then the other six beams of light appeared on the battlefield one after

another. The ward was done.

“The Emperor of Dragon pa.s.sed away. The dragons chimed nine times in

sorrow. The ward was deployed in seven cities.”

Zhao Wenhao’s forehead was covered with sweat. He realized how serious

the situation was and what a vast conspiracy it was.

“There is no way the Dragon Rebel Army has managed to infiltrate into the

dynasty to such an extent!”

“The dynasty won’t be overturned. Neither will the Dragon Rebel Army

disappear. But we need fresh blood in the system.”

Eunuch Cao came up to Zhao Wenhao. He said, “You know what I’m talking

about, don’t you?”

“I’m surprised to see there such shameless people who would rather

collaborate with the Dragon Rebel Army to get more power.”

Zhao Wenhao was extremely angry. He said, “I only have one question. Does

he have anything to do with the death of the Emperor of Dragon?”

“General Zhao, you know the answer. Why bothered to ask?”

Eunuch Cao sneered, “Emperors are emotionless human beings. Blood is

thicker than water? It’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard.”

“General Du Zhenfei of the Third Legion doesn’t stand on his side, so he

wants the whole Third Legion to die?” Zhao Wenhao went on.

“The strategy of the Third Legion went wrong. It resulted in the great

casualties of the three troops. General Du Zhenfei will offer his apology with

his death,” Eunuch Cao said something astonis.h.i.+ng.

“You can’t kill everyone. The evil deeds of the Inspection Guard will spread

through the Realm of True Force!” the commander of the Shadow Pursuing

Troop said coldly.

Eunuch Cao found it funny. He said, “Do you think it’s also the Inspection

Guard that has occupied the other cities, that there will be people like me

telling the whole story to the people there?”

“Most importantly, you know why I told you all of this?”

The last question sent chills down the spines of Zhao Wenhao and others.

His motive was simple. Whoever had heard him would die. It was also difficult

to say how the three troops and the four battalions would end up.

“Jiang Chen will come back.”

Suddenly they thought of Jiang Chen, who was still out of town. They

a.s.sumed he would come back after he finished his errands.

This idea gave them hope.

“What does that Jiang Chen have so that you trust him to such an extent?

You would rather fight against the Inspection Guard. I almost acted in

advance.”

Smiling, Eunuch Cao said, “Even though Jiang Chen is extremely powerful,

he only has a team of 100 people. What can he do?”

At the mention of that, Zhao Wenhao and the others’ eyes dimmed.
