Chapter 544: The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod, Three Guillotines of the Righteous Lord

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

However, the alien races were no fools.

They could see Dragon City’s intention.

Splash!

The seawater fluctuated, and over a dozen sailfish-like alien creatures were moving in the water and heading for the reflection of Yamla Hall in the sea. The ridges on their backs were as sharp as blades, and their “beaks” were as sharp as spears. They were aiming at the reflections of Bao Zheng and the others.

Hum…

As they attacked, the air around Bao Zheng, the Black and the White Impermanence Guards, Ox-Head, and Horse-Face suddenly began to stir.

Something invisible tried to attack their critical points.

It was some Transcendent ability that could attack the target by aiming at their reflections.

“How dare you!”

But the attack was blocked.

Zhan Zhao, who had turned into an Assistant Judge, aided Bao Zheng from behind. He drew out his sword, which turned into a silver sword about 100m long and over 10m wider. It then covered the entire Yamla Hall.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

The sound of metal striking metal sounded like pearls falling on a jade tray and rain hitting leaves. It was too dense for the ears to distinguish. Nothing could break such defense.

[Juque Sword]

[Level: Transcendent Rank-5]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Description: A famous sword from ancient times. Legend has it that it was forged by Ou Yezi, the master swordsmith of the Spring and Autumn period. It has a thick blade and has the hardest consistency that no other sword could match.]

In The Three Heroes and Five Gallants, Juque was the sword wielded by Zhan Zhao, the “Imperial Cat”.

Its Transcendent ability made everything it covered as hard as its sword. Unless one had the ability to destroy the sword itself, nothing could harm the people underneath.

Needless to say, the alien race had more than one Transcendent ability to use.

Zhan Zhao and Juque Sword alone wouldn’t be enough to keep Bao Zheng safe.

Since Dragon City had arranged to have Bao Zheng “bring these alien creatures to trial”, naturally, he had made other arrangements.

“Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, and Ma Han, take down these evil creatures.”

Bao Zheng gave the order from Yamla Hall.

Hum!

Words such as “seal” and “super” rose out of the imperial edict.

They turned into dragon-shaped shackles that were made of golden light before combining with the chains in the hands of the Black and the White Impermanence Guards, the Ox-Head, and the Horse-Face.

“Yes!” the four generals replied and threw their Soul-Snatching Chains into the sea below.

Immediately, hundreds of dragon-shaped chains appeared in the sky, each one aiming at a Transcendent alien creature.

Gurgle, gurgle…

Sensing the threat, the alien creatures activated all kinds of Transcendent abilities to fight back.

There were both physical and mental defensive skills, such as Chanting of Water Dragon, Total Freeze, Twelve Ultimate Ice Swords, and even teleportation skills. However, nothing could stop the chains from wrapping around them.

Once chained, the alien creatures had all their Transcendent powers sealed. Even the King Jellyfish that had turned into seawater couldn’t escape. The great whirlpool immediately stopped moving, and the ferocious attack was stopped.

Boom! Boom!

These alien races could control the aquatic creatures mainly because of their Transcendent abilities.

Now that their Transcendent powers were sealed and their movements were confined, some more powerful sea creatures revolted and swallowed the alien creatures around them.

Sensing that things had gone awry, some alien creatures chose to retreat.

But without their Transcendent powers and with their movements restricted, it wasn’t easy to get away from the great number of sea monsters.

More importantly, it had cost Dragon City a lot of power to create this scene, so of course, it wouldn’t let them leave so easily.

“It’s too late for that!”

A gust of wind suddenly blew across the sea, and a golden light shone on the sea waves. A familiar tune rang out, and a figure wearing a phoenix-winged purple gold crown, golden chain armor, and silk cloud boots appeared on the horizon.

“It’s the Monkey King!”

“It should be the genuine one, right?”

“With that background music and that impressive power, it has to be the genuine one!”

“He won’t try to make a scene in the Yamla Hall again, will he?”

“Of course not. We’re all on the same boat now.”

The Mythological hero didn’t land on the sea. Instead, he pulled off a golden hair and blew at it.

The hair flew towards the battlefield and soon turned into a golden rod in the air. It turned and elongated, growing larger as it moved closer to the battlefield.

By the time it was above the battlefield, it was over 1000m long with a diameter of over 10m!

Boom!

It then smashed into the sea and fell onto a king squid that couldn’t dodge in time. The squid turned into countless pieces and a great amount of blood.

However, neither the blood nor the flesh floated away but remained where they were, which was against common sense.

Apart from that, creatures like the shadow sailfish, king squids, and king jellyfish that were retreating from the battlefield all stopped moving as well.

In fact, when the golden rod fell into the water, everything around it seemed to be put on a spell and stopped moving. All the escaping alien creatures and ferocious sea monsters seemed to have been frozen in the water.

[Monkey King Bar]

[Level: Transcendent]

[Rarity: Quasi-Mythological (projection)]

[Description: It was transformed from one of the Monkey King’s life-saving hair and had almost identical Transcendent power as the real Monkey King Bar.]

“Holy crap. The Monkey King is like an emperor from ancient times. His weapon can suppress all the enemies even when he’s not here!”

“That’s not right. The Monkey King Bar used to be the Sea-stopping Needle, which was the instrument of Emperor Yu. According to the rules of the Land of Inheritance, Yu should be a Quasi-Mythological hero at least, right?”

“So is Master Ji. He has turned things around with an imperial edict. Despite his power, he still hasn’t shown up yet.”

All the audience on Earth opened their eyes widely.

They could only see such scenes in big film productions, but computer-made special effects could never be as vivid as this.

“The five-cent fish, the white-eyed sharks, the fairy nautilus… The 9,713 creatures that are mentioned above will be executed by having their bodies severed at the waists!”

Bao Zheng gave the final verdict.

There were nearly 10,000 targets. Instead of naming each one of them, he delivered the message with his mind, and the verdict was announced in a split second.

“Use the Dog Head Guillotine!”

He smacked the gavel with his left hand, and with his right hand, he picked up a black token from the table, which he then tossed into the air.

The token then turned into a giant dog with blood-red eyes and was surrounded by black flames. After running a few circles, it came back and turned into a black guillotine with a black dog head.

[Three Guillotines of the Righteous Lord]

[Level: Transcendent Rank-5]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Description: From Earth. It’s said that Bao Zheng was given three guillotines by the Emperor. The dragon-head guillotine was meant to execute members of the royal family, the tiger-head guillotine was meant to execute corrupted officials, and the dog-head guillotine was meant to execute evil civilians.]

[Note: They deal greater damage to vicious soul creatures.]

“Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, and Ma Han, it’s the time!”

“Yes!”

The Black and the White Impermanence Guards, Ox-Head, and Horse-Face responded.

They stood on either side of the guillotine, activated their Transcendent powers, and suddenly pressed the blade downward.

Clang!

The blade fell, giving off a great amount of black soul power that represented death.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

In the area completely frozen by the Monkey King Bar, nearly 10,000 Ordinary sea monsters were severed into halves without a sound.

“The bright manatee, black-and-white clownfish, invisible leech… These 1,424 creatures shall be executed at once!”

Smack!

“By the Tiger Head Guillotine!”

The gavel was smacked again, and a red token was thrown into the air. It turned into a blood-red tiger and slowly walked around the frozen Extraordinary creatures with a majestic gait before returning to where it was. It then lay down, turning into a red guillotine in the style of a crouching tiger.

“Yes!”

However, compared to the dog-headed one, this guillotine had more resistance.

The four generals used all their force, but they still couldn’t press down the blade.

“Let me!”

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows.

An “imperial cat” with snowy fur and blue eyes that looked like a Persian cat jumped out of his body and landed on the tiger’s head.

“Miaow!”

It licked its paw, patted the tiger’s forehead, and meowed again.

“Roar!”

The red tiger growled and suddenly opened its blood-red eyes.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

In the sea, thousands of Extraordinary sea monsters were all cut into halves.

“The king squid, king jellyfish, Patrick Star… You’ve killed 1,539 people in Dragon City, and the waves you raised have flooded a field of 30 square kilometers. You’ve committed the most heinous crimes!”

Bao Zheng had an angry look on his face when he picked up the golden dragon-shaped token.

“You’re sentenced to immediate decapitation, and your souls shall be condemned for eternity… Use the Dragon Head Guillotine!”

Lightning flashed, and the sky darkened.

A golden dragon dove into the sea and swam around the frozen Transcendent alien creatures before flying back into the Yamal Hall and turning into a golden guillotine with a dragon head!

“Now!”

The four generals and Zhan Zhao stepped forward and put their hands on the guillotine.

However, the resistance was so great that the five of them couldn’t move the blade.

The seawater that had been frozen began to ripple. Apparently, after seeing the executions of all the sea monsters, the Transcendent alien creatures were trying their best to break free from the confinement of Monkey King Bar and the imperial edict.

“Master Ji, please help us!”

Seeing this, Bao Zheng looked up at the imperial edict floating in the air and made the request.

Golden light flashed on the imperial edict, and the character “Ji” floated out, turning into the transparent image of Ji Ye, who was sitting cross-legged in Dream City.

He reached out and put a hand on the Dragon Head Guillotine.

“Roar!” the dragon head roared.

The golden light in its eyes was brighter than that of an exploding nuclear bomb, and the dragon became alive.

Crack!

The next second, the blade fell effortlessly like a hot knife sticking into butter.

Just like the other creatures, all the Transcendent aliens and sea monster kings had a cutting mark on them.

Even the sea transformed from the King Jellyfish was severed in halves and turned into normal seawater.

Because the verdict of Bao Zheng had condemned the alien creatures’ souls for eternity, their souls were destroyed, including the King Jellyfish, which had turned into seawater.

“Nice shot!”

“I now believe that Dragon City can survive this.”

“With that imperial edict and the Monkey King, we can kill all the monsters in the same way!”

This battlefield wasn’t the only place to see the turning of the events.

In other settlements, whenever the battle reached the critical point, a famous law enforcement hero would arrive there to announce the imperial edict.

And a Monkey King clone made from his hair would follow. Anyone trying to challenge the imperial edict directly would be smashed to a pulp by his rod. As a Quasi-Mythological hero who was also a great warrior, even his clone was invincible.

“We have casualties here!”

“Doctor! We need a doctor!”

Half-transparent people also appeared in all cities.

They carried medical boxes and held silver needles or balms in their hands as they walked around the battlefield, taking care of the wounded men.

Among them were Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Bian Que, and Hua Tuo…

There were legendary doctors as well as Transcendent physicians who were famous in history, despite the fact that they hadn’t reached Legendary yet. They were the medical heroes Ji Ye temporarily summoned by using the Oriental Medical Classics Ji Ye exchanged from the City of Humans.

“Leave it to me. With my needles, I can revive a person no matter how close he is to death.”

“Big deal. My golden pill can even revive a dead person. You can kill yourself, and I’ll demonstrate it for you.”

“He’s been injured by a donkey-headed man. I need to cure the poison with the poison. Take some donkey tears, donkey spit, and donkey pee. Cook them with three bowls of water, and feed them to him. He’ll be cured right away.”

“This is my secret recipe. It can cure any wound instantly. Try it, and you’ll want to get injured again.”

There were so many doctors, and they were all naturally curious. After things settled down, they began to digress.

After all, all the alien creatures were Transcendent this time.

Many wounds were beyond their imagination.

“No, that won’t be necessary. I’m already cured!”

When some of the wounded people saw the doctors running towards them with twinkling eyes, they jumped to their feet despite their wounds and ran back into the battlefield.

As long as they accumulated enough contribution points in battles, even if they died, they would have a chance to be revived. It was better than being experimented on by these curious medical heroes.

The imperial edict, Oriental Medical Classics, and Sun Wukong.

Together, the two Quasi-Mythological objects and a hero were as powerful as 1,500 Transcendent alien creatures.

Because of that, Dragon City was able to keep fighting and gain ground in the first wave of attacks despite having fewer high-level combative members.
