You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 615 - 276: Third Gear, Initiate!_2
"Your Majesty, I shall do my utmost to win a glorious victory for the Empire!"
"Hahaha, now that’s my true confidant."
...
Capital, Luoyang.
In the harem, Ye Qingzhou is appreciating the snow with Empress Shen Jingyi. The four accompanying women are Consort Nobel Wuya and three newly embraced Princess Consorts.
Consort Shu, Evelyn.
Consort De, Alia. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Consort Xian, Anna.
When the three first arrived, they were unfamiliar with the surroundings and felt extremely apprehensive.
But once in the palace, they quickly became enamored with the luxurious and exquisite lifestyle, compared to which their past seemed like rustic living.
Now they don’t miss their homeland at all. If anyone dared to make them return, they’d be furious.
Buzz, buzz, buzz~
The Xuanyuan Sword in Ye Qingzhou’s embrace suddenly vibrated continuously. He gently stroked the blade and said, "Seems like I should move as well."
Shen Jingyi showed a worried expression: "Swords and blades see no life, be careful, my husband."
"I will."
After speaking, Ye Qingzhou soared skyward, holding Xuanyuan Sword as he flew westward.
At this moment, at the frontline battlefield of Suiye City, Ishtar’s flagship and Imperial Banner suddenly appeared, successfully boosting the morale of the Imperial Army.
Inside Suiye City, in front of the tower, Nie Shixiong, Xu Biyi, and Zhang Shunchen, who had come in response to the news, looked at the battlefield with solemn expressions.
Wang Junfeng immediately recognized the Iron Fury Empire’s Imperial Banner: "Blood Wing Dragon, this is the Blood Emperor’s flagship, seems he intends to engage personally."
"Emperor-Level Steam Armor?"
Nie Shixiong gripped the Long Halberd in his hand: "Seems a tough battle awaits."
In prior battles, the Empire’s Glory-Level, Dreadnought-Class, Golden Lion Level, and King Level Steam Armors had already been seen by all.
They could still handle the King Level before them, but only Wang Junfeng had experience against Emperor-Level Steam Armor.
The three looked at Wang Junfeng, who shook his head: "The last time I encountered it, I couldn’t even take a single strike. It’s combat power beyond the Eight Gates, only His Majesty can counter it."
"No matter what, Suiye City must not fall."
The four then faced this unprecedentedly powerful foe together.
With guns, halberds, swords, and bows in hand, the four fought together valiantly but were still no match for Ishtar.
Blood Wing Dragon, as an Emperor-Level Steam Armor, far surpassed other Steam Armors in mobility and defense, and the Blood Emperor himself, having undergone multiple spiritual ascensions, possessed terrifying perception and reaction ability, maneuvering the massive Steam Armor as if an extension of his limbs.
"You four, enduring with mere flesh and bone until now, truly commendable courage. Submit, and I can spare your lives, perhaps even allow you to become generals of the Empire."
Standing proudly atop the battlefield, Ishtar looked at the battered Wang Junfeng, Nie Shixiong, Xu Biyi, and Zhang Shunchen with a sense of admiration.
Such loyal and brave souls emerging from Great Qi instead of the Empire left Ishtar with a bitter taste.
Upon hearing this, Wang Junfeng became furious: "A loyal minister serves no two masters. To think we’d kneel to you, dream on!"
"Since you refuse to yield, then perish."
Ishtar raised the Steam Chain Sword, preparing to deliver the fatal strike that would end this battle.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with rising winds and gathering clouds, lightning and thunder echoed, as a proud figure descended with the Holy Sword carried on his back: "Today, you will not kill anyone."
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty has personally joined the fray!"
Ye Qingzhou’s arrival revitalized the guards of Suiye City, and Wang Junfeng and the others rekindled hope in their hearts.
"You are the Emperor of Great Qi?"
Inside the Steam Armor, Ishtar looked at Ye Qingzhou with solemnity, feeling an unprecedented sense of pressure and crisis. The boiling spirituality told him the being before him was extraordinarily strong.
Ye Qingzhou also looked at Blood Wing Dragon, his gaze piercing through the thick Titanium Divine Steel, landing on Ishtar, and transmitted his thoughts: "I’ve been waiting for you to appear."
"You knew I would come?"
Ishtar’s mind was constantly warning him, even though he drove the Empire’s most powerful Steam Armor, it couldn’t give him the slightest sense of security.
"Of course, I’ve waited for this day far too long."
Clang~
A resonant sword cry of Holy Sword Xuanyuan cut through the clouds, formally starting this Dao struggle.
Ye Qingzhou struck out with his sword, tearing through the sky, and the clear firmament instantly seemed to split open, revealing the magnificent and vast starry sky to all.
Ishtar reacted at Divine Speed, immediately raised his sword to counterattack, aiming to suppress Ye Qingzhou with attack against attack.
Clang clang clang~
The enormous Chain Sword, over eight meters long, wielded with unparalleled power, even martial arts powerhouses with Eight Gates open dared not face such an attack head-on.
Yet for Ye Qingzhou, wielding the Holy Sword Xuanyuan, his opponent’s sword skill was simply too weak.
"Your attack is full of flaws, akin to a brute relying solely on force."
Facing Ishtar’s counterattack, Ye Qingzhou handled it with ease, occasionally sending Sword Qi bypassing the opponent’s defense, striking Blood Wing Dragon’s armor and slicing it apart.
"Impossible!"
Ishtar started to panic; ever since acquiring Blood Wing Dragon, he never imagined he might lose.
Yet now, his spirituality warned him the defeat was certain. The opponent’s strength left him with not even the slightest chance to turn the tables: "I don’t believe it! I am the Emperor, how could I be defeated!"
"Emperor?"
Ye Qingzhou scoffed: "You’re merely a whetstone for me, this Dao struggle began because of me, naturally, I will personally end it."
