Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1398 - 13: Rampant Arrogance (Part 2)

"Who knows where that damn Chief of Staff is?" Yan Qi asked.

Gongsun Ce casually swept with telekinesis, smiled and replied, "What a coincidence, he’s just having tea at the Left and Right Guards camp."

Yan Qi flipped onto an iron horse and laughed, "Let’s go catch the Chief of Staff!"

·

"Rebellion! Rebellion! Lawless and unbridled!"

Minister of War Ma Jingyang, furious, swept the desk, smashing a precious vase in the office into powder on the ground. The Left and Right Guards’ Great General Huo Qingjun’s eye twitched in pain, disregarding his vase, he whispered, "Mr. Ma, calm down..."

"How dare they?" Ma Jingyang’s hands shook uncontrollably, his lips turned blue, "How dare they?!"

Initially, upon receiving the news of the Imperial Academy students causing trouble, Mr. Ma was quite smug and happily opened a bottle of good wine on the spot, celebrating that these people had fallen into his hands. In this Divine Capital City, there are rules, if you commit a crime, you must be dealt with according to regulations, whether you’re from the outer or inner doors of the Imperial Academy, you must be detained for at least fifteen days, enough time for them to understand what rules are... And if they really dared to cause trouble, it would be even better; resisting arrest and assaulting the military is a crime that warrants severe imprisonment. Particularly, the Left and Right Guards are the face of law enforcement in Divine Capital, attacking them is like attacking the Ustus in Meteor City police department, it’s a slap to the high-ranking officials!

But Ma Jingyang had barely drunk half his wine when new information came through. Those scoundrels had indeed resisted arrest, they stole the soldiers’ horses and were coming to crash the doors of the Left and Right Guards!

"Great General, the three front lines of defense have all been breached, we really can’t hold them..."

The voice of the reporting adjutant trembled from outside the door. Seeing Mr. Minister unable to speak due to heartburn, General Huo inquired softly, "Any responses from the communication sent to the generals’ residences?"

The adjutant replied softly, "Two people slipped on a banana peel and fell unconscious, one suddenly had a stomach issue, and another reported they got lost like a ghost hitting walls, unable to find their way..."

General Huo felt dizzy and nervously said, "Then don’t send ordinary soldiers, assemble an elite unit from the camp, and stop them first!"

"The order can’t get out..." The adjutant was on the verge of tears, "Any officer with a rank seems bewitched, welcoming them at the entrance, their Spiritual Image Skill is too strong..."

General Huo almost lost his breath, he gestured for the adjutant to leave, and turned to advise, "Oh Mr. Ma, all my Left and Right Guards elite have been defeated, even if you add my own flesh, it wouldn’t hold for more than a few seconds. Originally, it wasn’t such a big deal, in my opinion, even if you have other plans, might as well settle it privately now..."

Minister Ma suddenly stood up, thundered like a bolt, "How dare they defy the rules?!"

General Huo saw that the Chief of Staff was still saying this, thinking how worthy of his position as Chief of Staff, even at this point he remained calm. But Minister Ma might have a foundation, he did not, at this moment he couldn’t care about avoiding risk, softly inquired, "Mr. Ma, considering the situation, might as well give us a heads up. Are you going along with Duke Wu’s intention, or that other one’s...?"

Minister Ma bewildered: "What Duke Wu? What’s it to do with Qin An?"

General Huo’s eyes widened even more, forgetting formal address: "Aren’t you working for their cause?!"

"How..." Minister Ma realized, "Huo Qingjun, what are you thinking? They broke the rules of the capital, it’s our issue, Ministry of War!"

General Huo instantly stomped his feet, dizzy with anger, "Mr. Ma, you are really confused, aren’t you?! Why should they obey your rules?"

Minister Ma stammered, "That’s... that’s His Majesty’s... the Empire’s rules..."

General Huo was sweating facially, thinking Mr. Minister must have had a backup plan orchestrated, perhaps to teach those students a lesson on behalf of Duke Wu or someone even higher up. Unexpectedly, now this person was uttering nonsense, seemed it was really a decision he made with a whim!

"Yan Qi has already broken through the realm! He is of the same rank as Morton’s Macrow, even His Majesty relies on him to protect the Empire in the future, why would he care about rules?"

Concerned this person wouldn’t understand, he emphasized plainly: "He is the one who makes the rules... he is the rules!"

Minister Ma uttered "Ah", like waking from a very long dream, realizing the cold reality in front of him, a long face immediately covered with fear-skinned expressions. He franticly waved his arms to command, "Close the Left and Right Guards gate, use Heart Phase Weapon to stop them! You prepare gifts immediately, let’s go out and resolve this matter privately... go apologize!"

General Huo wiped cold sweat, relieved, issued the order. Left and Right Guards soldiers all retreated from the frontline, and the black iron door of the camp dropped heavily like a city wall. The iron door is an ancestral Heart Phase Weapon, used for safeguarding the capital, capable of temporarily fending off the combined attack of three Manifestation Mages, a first-class magical treasure.

A gate could at least block them for a while, moreover breaking through the gate is a huge taboo; even a Creation Realm Mage should have restraint...

"He’s, he’s, he’s coming!" Minister Ma suddenly exclaimed.

General Huo was taken aback, then rushed towards the window. He saw a group of five riders on iron horses charging forward, the black-robed leader was indeed Yan Qi. Seeing the Left and Right Guards gate tightly shut, he didn’t pause a bit, merrily raised his pen and drew a lively ink-colored dragon. The ink soared, freely galloped, growing into an unusual head and four short claws, displaying extraordinary majesty. It really turned into a dragon, Yan Qi casually drew a long dragon.

General Huo turned as pale as a sheet: "No way... no..."

"Break it for me!"

Yan Qi raised a hand and pointed, the ink dragon roared, charging forward, shattered the Left and Right Guards gate into powder!

The sound of ghostly wails echoed from the office building below, a crowd of troops terrified out of their wits, Minister Ma himself screamed: "Madman! He’s mad, insane!!"

General Huo was beyond strength for screaming, he slumped into a chair like struck by thunder, only one thought in mind.

He really dares! He truly fears nothing!

The tolling footsteps shook the corridor, the black-clad youth kicked open the office door. Ma Jingyang awakened from a dream, swiftly formed seals, with a mind to strike first: "Brahma’s appearance·Manifest, Law weapon golden staff!"

A magnificent golden staff manifested in Minister Ma’s hand, his proud Manifestation Method, specifically restraining lawbreakers and criminals. His proud Manifestation Method lasted less than half a second, Yan Qi swiped with a pen, and the divine weapon in the Chief’s hand lost its glow, turning into a piece of pitch-black scrap iron.

"Bind."

Yan Qi casually tossed a black rope, like a western cowboy lasso, tying Minister Ma tight. Ma Jingyang then couldn’t even use Impermanence Skill, he stared like a corpse at Yan Qi, the voice weak like mosquitoes: "I’m Minister of War..."

"You’re the Chief of Staff?" Yan Qi sneered, "What the hell does that have to do with me!"
