Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1938 - 455: Innate Dao Fruit and the Old Eunuch

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Flames roared and surged upward as the Treasure Elephant Army Commander Boluo Timur turned his cold gaze over and said, "Fang Guozhen, you’re courting death!"

Fang Guozhen heard this and said with a smile on his face, "Whether I am or not isn’t up to you to decide. So, are we fighting or talking?"

The Treasure Elephant Army Commander said, "Fight? Just you?"

Fang Guozhen shrugged and said, "I know that with my strength I’m definitely not your match, but I don’t need to defeat you. I just need to hold you here for one two hours, that’s enough."

The Treasure Elephant Army Commander said coldly, "One two hours? Just you? If Peng Yingyu said this I might believe it, but you’re not qualified."

Boluo Timur spoke arrogantly. It was clear he didn’t think much of Fang Guozhen. Fang Guozhen didn’t argue; he simply raised his hand, and in the next instant blazing torches sprang up behind him. Immediately countless more torches appeared all around, and behind those torches were ranks of troops and horses.

Fang Guozhen looked at him and said, "Add my thirty thousand elite soldiers to the equation?"

The Treasure Elephant Army Commander’s brow furrowed. The next moment he looked at Fang Guozhen and said, "Looks like you and I are destined to cross hands today?"

Fang Guozhen laughed and said, "To trade blows with the fourth on the Heavenly List—this is something I’ve been yearning for!"

Boluo narrowed his eyes and lifted the spear in his hand. "Treasure Elephant Army, form ranks!"

Fang Guozhen smiled. "Brothers, time to work!"

At that shout, everyone present immediately perked up. The Zoroastrian Sect Disciples began deploying troops and forming battle arrays, and the veteran soldiers of the Five Elements Flag also started preparing for combat. In an instant, the two sides were bristling with hostility!

Roar~

This scene was also taken in by the white Divine Eagle soaring in the sky.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace!

Pu~

Liu Futong relied on his own power to clash head-on with the Daqian Destiny and was shaken by the National Fortune Dragon into spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the people beside him immediately stepped forward to support Liu Futong, but Liu Futong directly stopped them, then looked at the tall tower before him—especially the white dragon coiled upon it. With this dragon here, he simply could not break open the door.

Could this be Heaven refusing to let Baomian perish?

Liu Futong thought, his eyes bloodshot. The commotion he caused also alarmed Emperor Shun inside the tower, who was in the midst of praying to his ancestors.

At that moment Emperor Shun was kneeling before the memorial tablets: "Ancestors bless us, ancestors bless the Daqian foundation with eternal Yongchang~"

As he spoke, the women beside him curiously peered outside again.

The iron structure was quite cleverly designed, with several small holes left for observing the outside, allowing them to see what was happening beyond. At this time a Mulan woman came to Emperor Shun’s side and whispered, "Your Majesty, it seems the rebels outside have quieted down."

"He just released a huge earth-yellow Qilin and smashed it against our pagoda, but he himself spat blood."

Hearing this, another woman at the side spoke up, "Exactly, exactly. Any random Ah Gou dares to attack the Imperial Palace, but isn’t he suppressed at once by the radiance of our ancestors!"

Hearing this, Emperor Shun raised his head to look at the women around him. "Really?"

The women quickly responded in the affirmative, and then Emperor Shun scrambled up, pressed himself to the observation holes in the wall, and looked out. He saw at once the massive white dragon in the sky. This giant dragon was the manifestation of the Daqian Destiny; only those whose strength had reached the Melt God Realm or who were themselves bearers of the Daqian Destiny could see it.

At this moment Emperor Shun finally saw the white dragon in the sky protecting the Ancestor Tower, and he cried out in excitement, "The ancestors have revealed a sign, the ancestors have revealed a sign!"

The women all chattered noisily as well. Emperor Shun then looked toward Liu Futong, and with Liu Futong’s razor-sharp intuition, he instantly sensed someone spying on him.

He guessed at once that it must be the Emperor trapped inside the tower.

Liu Futong thought that since he couldn’t get into the tower, he’d see if he could scare the Emperor out.

Thinking this, Liu Futong shouted, "Old Emperor, I know you’re watching me. Don’t think hiding in this shitty Iron Tower makes you safe. Get your ass out here, don’t force me to go in. If I go in, even if you want to die you won’t get your wish that easily!"

Emperor Shun heard this and said nothing.

Liu Futong continued, "Looks like you still don’t know who I am, do you? Let me introduce myself: I’m Liu Futong—you should have heard of me. Seventh on the Heavenly List. Let alone this little Iron Tower, even if it were a whole mountain, I could level it."

"If you come out now, I promise not to kill you. How about it?"

Liu Futong coaxed him patiently, but at this moment Emperor Shun’s voice came out from within the tower, "Rebel, don’t try to trick me. If you could break in, you’d have done it already. Would you still be here wasting words with Us?"

"Without even thinking, We know you definitely cannot get in. This Ancestor Tower is under the protection of Our forebears. You rebels dreaming of harming Us is sheer delusion."

"But We’ll give you a word of advice: turn back before it’s too late. The commotion here will surely spread. Once the various loyalist Armies arrive, your little bit of troops won’t even be enough for them to slaughter for merit. At that time, even as the seventh under Heaven you’ll die and your Dao Fruit will be wiped out!"

Emperor Shun spoke thus to Liu Futong. Liu Futong listened, his brows knitting tight. He had wanted to persuade Emperor Shun to surrender, but now he’d been counter-persuaded by Emperor Shun instead.

For the moment, Liu Futong actually found he had no way to deal with this Emperor Shun.

Just then, a Zoroastrian Sect Disciple beside him whispered a few words in his ear, and Liu Futong said, "Bring them up!"

At his command, a group of men immediately dragged up a crowd of women. They were the Emperor’s harem women, and among them an old woman said to be the Empress Dowager.

Seeing these people, Liu Futong immediately had them all dragged over.
