Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City-Chapter 563 - 562: It Seems Like You’re Teasing Me

"You are courting death!" The Gu Emperor’s fury erupted; for centuries since he inherited the palace, nothing like this had ever happened. Yet today, not only was there an assassination attempt, but someone even dared to set fire inside his palace!

That gigantic explosion, that mushroom cloud shooting into the sky — it all seemed eerily familiar to the Gu Emperor.

"Heh, it’s still uncertain who will be the one dying! Kneel now and surrender; maybe my elder brother will consider sparing your life!" Zhou Podgy sneered repeatedly as he struck with the force of thunder, immensely powerful. Each punch thrown was so formidable that even the Gu Emperor dared not meet them head-on.

With a punch coming his way, the Gu Emperor indeed retreated.

Another loud bang echoed—on the other side of the imperial palace, another massive mushroom cloud rose.

That was... the direction of the Imperial Treasury!

A cold shudder ran through the Gu Emperor, a foreboding feeling washing over him.

This explosion, this scene, it was all too familiar.

Earth people!

Suddenly, it dawned on the Gu Emperor!

Wasn’t this precisely how those who had escaped from Lin City two days ago described the Earth people’s attacks? They said the Earth people possessed powerful hidden weapons that were massively destructive and could explode!

What he was witnessing was indeed the explosion of those so-called powerful hidden weapons.

There were Earth people causing chaos within the imperial palace!

A shiver ran through the Gu Emperor’s body, as he finally managed to expel the last bit of medicinal strength from within himself.

The Gu Emperor had never really taken Earth people seriously, but the incident at Lin City enlightened him to their terror.

His top-tier army was annihilated in less than an hour by those formidable weapons of the Earth people.

Worst of all, not a single Earth person was injured!

Moreover, the Earth people had declared that they would be attacking in a few days. He was already contacting reinforcements and looking for ways to defend, but he hadn’t expected the Earth people to arrive so soon.

Damned!

Should be killed!

These Elf Clan people must be in league with the Earth people; otherwise, it isn’t possible for such a coincidence to occur!

Furious, the Gu Emperor felt a creeping dread.

He had heard that in Lin City, there were a few Emperor Level Cultivators among the Earth people. If they were to appear together and coordinate with the Earth people’s formidable weapons, his Gu Country might truly be facing its demise.

The annihilation of the country... was an unimaginable horror!

"Search for them! Search the entire city for any suspicious persons, let none escape!" With a palm strike towards Zhou Podgy, the Gu Emperor roared furiously.

Shortly after, the entire Gu Country Imperial City sprang into action.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao was navigating through the Imperial Palace of Gu Country.

The palace had turned into a Fire Sea. Lin Hao had almost used up the few small Black Bombs he carried.

He continued to walk and bomb; no palace buildings in Gu Country’s palace could withstand the blasts.

Only the Treasure Vault’s area required three Black Bombs around its perimeter to blast open its defenses. Almost all traps were triggered simultaneously, causing complete chaos at the entrance of the Treasure Vault.

The experts lurking around the Treasure Vault finally took action; some tried to put out the fire, some tried to find cover, but making an unnoticed entry into the Treasure Vault still proved difficult.

Lin Hao set a ring of bombs, then returned near the vault’s entrance, realizing that finishing the mission would require some finesse.

But Lin Hao wasn’t hindered by this; soon, a roaring sound of motors filled the sky.

What is that?

At the Treasure Vault entrance, the busy Guards instinctively looked up towards the sky.

In the sky, something resembling a massive dragonfly was clutching something, flying towards them.

An Exotic Beast?

"Be on guard!"

"Enemy attack!"

At that moment, hundreds of guards immediately took on a battle-ready appearance, swords drawn and in hand, all watching as the huge Exotic Beast-like drone flew towards them.

"Not an Exotic Beast, it’s... steel?!"

"Steel can fly in the sky?"

"My heavens, I’ve never seen such a thing, was that Divine Artifact crafted by some master artisan?"

"What is this thing trying to do?"

The guards were extremely surprised, none recognizing the object before them, and its harmless appearance made them lower their guard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Hao moved a few steps forward, getting very close to the guard’s defensive position. Those guards, all focused on the drone in the sky, didn’t notice him at all.

Then, Lin Hao pressed the command, and the drone slowly descended, dropping the bomb attached to its belly downwards.

"What is this thing?"

"It feels harmless, just a piece of iron."

"Who brought in these boring things? Could it be the person sneaking into the Imperial Palace?"

"That can’t be right, what use is a piece of iron, to hit people with?"

The group of guards looked at each other bewildered.

At this moment, their captain stepped forward with a cold smile: "It seems someone wants to target the Treasure Vault, but they should think again. Is the Treasure Vault a place these clowns can touch?"

"With us guarding, the Treasure Vault is absolutely safe!"

"Moreover, throwing down a piece of iron, are they trying to kill us all with this? Hahaha, if that’s the thief’s idea, then he’s foolishly adorable!"

Before he finished speaking, the captain reached out and grabbed the falling bomb, looking disdainful under the watchful eyes of all guards: "Is this it? Haha, trying to kill me with this? It’s like he’s joking!"

As he was speaking and laughing while holding the bomb,

But, just at that moment, Lin Hao also pressed the button.

"Boom!"

Amidst the laughter, a huge explosion sounded, and a small mushroom cloud rose in the palace.

Suddenly, figures flew horizontally, numerous guards were blown into the air by the powerful blast, and the captain holding the bomb was directly blown into a bloody mist, soaring into the sky.

The ground shook wildly as if it were the apocalypse, with limbs and body parts flying everywhere, many guards screamed and ran.

Lin Hao peeked out from behind a rockery, his eyes lighting up.

What a great opportunity, if not now, then when?

At that moment, Lin Hao channeled his True Qi, activated the True Formula, and like a bolt of lightning, he rushed through the chaotic crowd and smoke safely reaching the gates of the Treasure Vault!

The mechanisms near the gate had all been triggered by the blast, making it surprisingly safe for Lin Hao, and to his advantage, no one was paying attention to this area.

Indeed, a great opportunity!

Without a second thought, Lin Hao found a corner of the Treasure Vault’s gate, summoned the Divine Cauldron, and smashed it directly onto the gate.

"Boom!"

The defense Runes on the Treasure Vault’s stone gate were useless, they flashed briefly and couldn’t withstand even a second before getting shattered by the Divine Cauldron.

Then, the gate was directly smashed open!

Success!

Lin Hao sighed in relief, now, just to loot the Treasure Vault and escape from the city, and that would be the end of Gu Country!

With that thought, Lin Hao stepped into the gate.

Little did he know, as soon as he entered, a delicate fragrance typical of a young woman hit him, followed immediately by a Giant Sword chopping towards Lin Hao’s neck!

Behind the door, there was actually someone!

And it was a woman!

A regally dressed, beautiful half-beast woman!
