Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 792 - 780: Unidentified Shadow

"Shangfang Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword!"

As a dragon-shaped golden light descended from the night sky, accompanied by the roaring sound of a dragon’s cry, Luo Long’s expression changed dramatically, and he let out a shout of surprise,

"The Shangfang Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword, wasn’t it said to have disappeared without a trace long ago? How has it reappeared in the world now!"

As the Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword descended from the night sky, Great General Tuoba Wei simply continued to look down from above, coldly regarding Luo Long’s expressions.

When he saw the look of shock appear on Luo Long’s face, a feeling of satisfaction rose in his heart, and he shouted down again coldly, "The Shangfang Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword can execute before reporting! Since you, Luo Long, defy the Holy Emperor’s will and harbor thoughts of rebellion, this Great General will first execute you, then report to the Holy Emperor!"

At this moment, pride filled Tuoba Wei’s face. The Sacred Decree he had been holding in his right hand had been put away, his right hand now formed into a Sword Finger, pointing downward.

In the night sky, the falling dragon-shaped golden light began to plummet rapidly toward the City Lord Mansion, and the golden radiance dyed the pitch-black sky gold, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The earth itself began to tremble.

Beneath the Shangfang Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword, inside Sunset City, countless faces had already turned pale, and looking up into the sky, numerous people’s bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, as though the end of the world was nigh.

"Hahaha! Luo Long, beneath the Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword, let’s see how arrogant you can be!" Tuoba Wei, bolstered by the power of the Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword, laughed arrogantly.

"Hmph!" Just then, Luo Long let out a muffled hum like thunder, echoing through heaven and earth, and then said coldly, "Tuoba Wei, you are merely a Seven-star Martial Emperor. Even with the Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword in your possession, I want to see how much power you can truly unleash!"

After finishing his statement, Luo Long turned his head and looked to Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan, saying,

"Young Master Feng, Brother Luo, the Space Cross-Domain Transmission Array should be ready to use by now. I must attend to the urgent matters of Sunset City and can no longer entertain you properly. You should go ahead, and when you see the Great Emperor, convey my respects to him for me!"

"Alright, you take care!" Shi Feng nodded, saying.

"Farewell!" Luo Qingchuan added.

This matter was, after all, between Sunset City and the Northern Border Dynasty. They wanted no part in it, especially since Shi Feng had been restless since this afternoon, eager to get to the Western Region, to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords.

"Let’s go!" Shi Feng turned his head and said to Zi Ya beside him.

"Yes, alright!" Zi Ya pulled her gaze back from the sky and nodded at Shi Feng.

Then, the three of them, Shi Feng, Zi Ya, and Luo Qingchuan, moved swiftly, rushing towards the City Lord Mansion, no longer paying attention to the battlefield outside.

"Sunset Divine Bow!" Just at that moment, a golden bow appeared in Luo Long’s right hand, and in his grasp, the golden bow trembled incessantly.

"Sunset Divine Arrow!" Following that, an arrow as golden as an Ancient Divine Beast, in the form of a Three-legged Golden Crow, materialized in Luo Long’s left hand, "Screech!"

A cry akin to that of a giant bird resounded.

The Sunset Divine Arrow Bow was aimed at the falling Heavenly Golden Dragon Sword; Luo Long drew the Sunset Divine Bow’s string back, and the bow and arrow now radiated brightness like the sun, akin to a small sun manifesting in Luo Long’s hands.

"Break!" he finally let out a fierce shout.

With a "thud," the divine arrow left the bow, surging toward the sky like the sun!

"All warriors of Sunset City, heed my command! Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Powerful fighting spirits and strong auras rose one after another within Sunset City!

"All warriors heed my order, today we shall annihilate the treacherous city—Sunset City! Execute the rebel, Luo Long!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Amid the golden glow and the sunlight shining down like daylight, war cries echoed one after another. Giant maelstroms began to appear in the sky, and densely packed figures revealed themselves within each swirling vortex.

The soldiers of the Northern Border Dynasty, following Tuoba Wei’s shout, continued to descend upon Sunset City, appearing incessantly above it. It seemed that the Northern Border Dynasty had come to Sunset City fully prepared!

A majestic war was about to erupt in Sunset City!

...

Shi Feng and his two companions continued to charge toward the City Lord Mansion. "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Explosions and cries of battle resonated from above, the ground began to shake violently, but they took no heed.

Before long, they reached a vast golden plaza, and at its center, a large golden altar also came into their view.

Surrounding the golden altar were thirteen golden-armored soldiers of Sunset City, guarding the altar. When one of the commanders saw Shi Feng and his company arrive, he approached them and said:

"My lords, the transmission array is now activated, and coordinates set to the Western Region. You may teleport now."

"Good!" Luo Qingchuan nodded and replied to the golden-armored commander, "Let us depart for the Western Region now!"

"Yes!" the golden-armored commander responded, then turned around and ordered the twelve golden-armored soldiers behind him, "Activate the transmission array!"

"Yes!"

The trio led by Shi Feng did not break stride, heading straight for the large altar. Soon, they flew to the top of the altar.

Rows of golden runes, like tadpoles, began to float around Shi Feng and his companions. The golden altar also began to glow brighter, its golden light intensifying.

Shi Feng and his companions waited.

Then, a dazzling and intense golden light suddenly erupted from the altar, forming a huge pillar of golden light that shot into the sky.

But just at that moment, a black shadow descended from the sky and in an instant plunged into that ascending column of golden light.

"Who goes there! How dare you sneak into the teleportation light!" the golden-armored commander guarding below exclaimed, seeing the black figure descend, and loudly called out to the sky.

Yet at that moment, the golden column of light had already reached the heavens and vanished from their sight. It was too late for them to stop it.

One of the golden-armored soldiers turned to the commander and asked, "What do we do, Commander? A black shadow entered the pillar of golden light; it could be detrimental to those people."

After staring at the sky for a moment, the golden-armored commander slowly lowered his head to look at the speaker and said:

"Nevermind. Our job was just to send them off to the Western Region. Whether they live or die after that is not our concern. Remember, let’s pretend we saw nothing. If the City Lord finds out, you know the consequences."

"Understood!"

The other twelve golden-armored soldiers responded in unison.

"We have successfully sent those three to the Western Region. Everything went smoothly! No untoward events occurred!"
