The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"I heard that both the emperor of the Mysterious Sky Empire and the Ghost Sect Leader are leading the huge army. From what | know, they are both formidable warriors who are in the Imperial Realm of their cultivation base. It's a grim picture for the Violet Orchid Empire indeed.

And they are accompanied by dozens of master-warriors who are in the cultivation base of Sky Realm just lurking in their army.

| wonder whether the imperial capital city would survive this battle." The emperor gazed in the distance for a short while, then he slowly bowed his head and sighed.

"Your Majesty, only the Abdicated Emperor Warren is capable of holding off the two Imperial Realm masters. But, we have no idea when his seclusion period will end." Lord Protector General stood by the emperor and anxiously reported to him.

"I have already informed my father of our current situation using my spiritual sense. He should arrive any tsoon.

But the odds are against him if he were to face those two Imperial Realm warriors all by himself.

Moreover, they have dozens of masters in the Sky Realm of cultivation base in their campsite. They have totally surrounded us with sheer strength.

The imperial capital city has been under siege for a couple of days now. | have no idea how long we can keep our defenses up against their constant bombardment." The emperor's voice was filled with worry and stress. He was fearful for the safety of his people.

Then suddenly, the sound of drumbeats thundering loudly and powerfully boomed all throughout the entire imperial capital city. It was heard in every corner of the city and did not stop pounding.

"They are getting ready to launch attack!" The sound of the beating drums painted a solemn and fearful expression on a dozen men who were from the royal court of the Violet Orchid Empire.

The ground shook and shuddered as wave after wave of warriors thundered towards the fortress, their rumbling footsteps echoed throughout the city. Every soul in the empire felt anxious and afraid just witnessing this monstrous number of soldiers.

"Relay my command. Everyone, prepare for the battle.

All the generals and soldiers, go forth and guard the walls. Keep our line of defense strong!" The emperor snapped in a stern voice, his face was etched with determination and authority.

Figures suddenly flashed to their position as they followed his command. They were like shadows appearing out of thin air.

"Hearmy great generals and soldiers of the royal court! This is a battle of life and death for our Violet Orchid Empire. Fight them 'till your last breath!" The emperor's strong and resolute voice echoed across every corner of the entire imperial capital city with the help of his vital energy.

Upon hearing his words, every single man who guarded the walls felt a positive wave washed upon them, giving them strength and determination. They gave a firm nod towards their mighty emperor. This is really a matter of life and death, and they will give it their all until the very end.

As the imperial capital city prepared for the incoming onslaught, the waves of warriors continued surging towards the city's walls.

Everyone could hear the crash of the impending battle as the howling of the enemy neared them.

In the air, rushing streaks of light fleeted past the oceans like fired bullets speeding in mid-air, they were masters above the Mysterious Realm cultivation base in the Mysterious Sky Empire and the Ghost Sect.

They halted abruptly around a thousand meters from the imperial capital city. The vast space in front of the imperial capital city was black with warriors, they went on and on as far as one could see. Murderous will mounted to heaven and enveloped the imperial capital city! Dozens of figures fleeted in the air as the troops halted, a large man who was wearing an emperor's robe embroidered with nine golden dragons arrogantly stepped out of the crowd as he sneered and gazed furiously at the well-guarded Violet Orchid Empire imperial capital city.

"He he, | never expected that you could actually withstand our intense siege and last this long. But who cares? You're all going to die anyway!" A forceful and unrestrained laughter pierced the sky as the troops from two sides were in confrontation.

The sound shook the hearts of every one from the royal court side. Fear and anxiety was clearly etched in their faces.

As the sound of laughter faded, the bright figure flew to the sky and gracefully stopped in mid-air.

The man who was wrapped in the emperor's golden robe was momentarily suspended in the air. He exuded such a strong aura and presence which stifled all of the men, like a golden god who made his presence known.

Just then, cheers and howls echoed all throughout the ocean of troops as they looked up towards the man in mid-air.

Suddenly, another two figures flew towards the man and stopped beside him. Among the two in black was a man in his fifties who had an evil look plastered on his face.

While the other man was so thin, he was like a mummy wrapped in black robes.

The Violet Orchid Empire emperor's face paled and a tinge of fear reflected in his eyes at the sight of the three majestic figures suspended in the air. He was already having a hard breathing as the combined strong aura of the three men surged towards him.

Then his figure flashed and appeared above the wall of the imperial capital city. His voice was heard as his eyes were fixed on the other three men in the air.

"Kirkland, the Violet Orchid Empire hasn't interfered with the Mysterious Sky Empire and this peaceful relations has gone on for so many years already. Why do you suddenly bring forth an army to attack the imperial capital city out of the blue?" Kirkland was in fact the man who initially bellowed a loud laughter and was wearing the golden robe embroidered with nine dragons, the great emperor of the Mysterious Sky Empire.

"Ha Ha. No reason really, | was just a little interested in the beautiful scenery here in the Violet Orchid Empire. That's why you should bow down on your knees Emperor Arthur, and go forth and abandon your city. You're a sensible man after all who places the safety of his people before anything else. Beg for mercy, or else you will witness the slaughter of all of your people once we breach the walls of your city.

Surrender now, or suffer a horrifying death. Which one will it be?" Emperor Kirkland said in a proud and arrogant tone. It seemed like he was already certain of his victory.

"Ha ha ha, he is right you know Emperor Arthur. Stop acting tough already, it will only cause you death. Think about saving your life and the lives of your people instead." The old man clad in black grinned as he taunted Emperor Arthur.

"You must be none other than the Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect. Everyone believes that the Ghost Sect was already destroyed a long tago. Who would have known that you've secretly grown into this powerful group?" Emperor Arthur said as he intently gazed at the old man who just spoke to him.

Apparently he was indeed the Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect.

"Humph, cut the crap already. | hate it when people waste my time.

Choose already, Emperor Arthur. Bow down or fight.

| warn you though, choose wisely. Your future and your empire's future are at stake." The Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect impatiently snorted.

"Huh, the royal court of the Violet Orchid Empire may not be a match against your combined forces, but we'd rather die fighting rather than cowardly bow down to the likes of you." Watching their overbearing and arrogant stance, Emperor Arthur spoke each word proudly. His voice was filled with anger and annoyance. 'How dare they look down on us?’ "Hum, you are refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. Attack!" Emperor Kirkland's face turned cold and shouted.
