A Demon's Journey

Chapter 640 Noah's Attack On Royal Palace

Noah, leading his Heretical Paladins, had a cunning strategy up his sleeve. While most of the Great Qin Empire's forces were occupied at the borders, Noah orchestrated a covert teleportation to Luoyang, the capital city. Their destination was a secluded area within the city, strategically avoiding the primary concentration of the empire's defenses.

As soon as they appeared in Luoyang, Noah barked orders to his subordinates. The Heretical Paladins swiftly assumed a battle formation they had meticulously trained for.

This formation was no ordinary setup; it was named the "Azure Surge Array," a formidable arrangement with the ability to summon a massive Gigantic Blue Horn Dragon Avatar. This powerful entity was fuelled by ten peak Emperor Level Dragon Beast cores, each obtained through relentless hunting.

The defensive prowess of the Gigantic Blue Horn Dragon Avatar was exceptional. Even an assailant at the Saint Realm cultivation stage would struggle to breach its resilience. The defensive aspect of the formation was under the control of Noah's first wife, Aria.

On the offensive side, the formation harbored a second ability. This allowed the Gigantic Blue Horn Dragon Avatar to unleash a destructive beam, equivalent to an attack from a Saint Realm expert.

Noah's second wife, Luna, skilfully manipulated this devastating capability.

With this formidable force at their disposal, Noah and his Heretical Paladins launched a relentless assault on the Royal Palace. The Gigantic Blue Horn Dragon Avatar, with its combined defensive and offensive abilities, carved a destructive path through the walls, creating an opening for the Heretical Paladins to breach the inner sanctum. The element of surprise and the overwhelming power of the formation played a crucial role in their advance.

As the clash intensified within the Royal Palace, Noah's tactical brilliance became evident. He strategically directed his forces, exploiting the chaos within the capital. The Azure Surge Array, augmented by the Gigantic Blue Horn Dragon Avatar, wreaked havoc upon the imperial defenses.

In the midst of the chaos, Luna's controlled destructive beam lashed out, obliterating strategic points within the Royal Palace. The calculated strikes added to the disarray, as the defenders struggled to comprehend the unpredictable assault.

Within the tumult, Noah's Heretical Paladins displayed remarkable coordination. Each member adhered to their assigned roles within the battle formation, creating a seamless and formidable assault force. Noah himself led the charge, his powerful attacks complementing the array's destructive capabilities.

The plan unfolded with precision, catching the defenders off guard. The element of surprise, coupled with the overwhelming might of the Gigantic Blue Horn Dragon Avatar, allowed Noah and his Heretical Paladins to penetrate deeper into the heart of the Royal Palace.

The audacious attack on the Royal Palace sent shockwaves throughout the Great Qin Empire. Such a bold move had never occurred in its storied history. The very idea of an assault on the heart of their power structure was inconceivable to many.

Within the empire, experts and leaders, including Emperor Qin Lei, were left reeling from the realization that one of their own, the Enlightened Void Sword Emperor, had orchestrated the unprecedented attack. The shockwaves reverberated even more when it became apparent that Noah, along with his Heretical Paladins, was leading the assault.

Emperor Qin Lei, fueled by anger and determination, made a resolute decision. He, along with his Royal Guards, would personally confront Noah and his Heretical Paladins. The Royal Palace, the symbol of their imperial might, had been breached, and the emperor was not about to let this act go unanswered.

As Emperor Qin Lei prepared to lead the charge, an unexpected twist unfolded. Three Saint Realm experts from the Woltensian Empire materialized in Luoyang, aligning themselves with Noah and his Heretical Paladins. This development added an entirely new dimension to the unfolding conflict.

The shock deepened for Emperor Qin Lei. Despite having two Saint Realm experts within the capital, along with himself, the arrival of three counterparts from the Woltensian Empire leveled the playing field. The once-anticipated clash now hung in a precarious balance.

With both sides boasting an equal number of Saint Realm experts, Emperor Qin Lei recognized the imminent challenge. The impending battle promised to be arduous, with the fate of the Royal Palace hanging in the balance.

Just when tension reached its peak, another unexpected entrant joined the fray.

Nine Yin Saintess, a prominent figure within the Great Qin Empire, emerged in Luoyang. Her sudden appearance tipped the scales, reinforcing Emperor Qin Lei's forces in the ongoing conflict against Noah and his Heretical Paladins.

Noah's eyes widened in shock as the Nine Yin Saintess materialized in Luoyang. Confusion clouded his mind. 'Wasn't she supposed to be on the Eastern Borders?' The unexpected appearance of this formidable figure hinted at deeper complications.

'If she's here, he must be too.'

A sense of foreboding settled over Noah. The connection between Nine Yin Saintess and a certain individual lingered in his thoughts, a puzzle waiting to be solved.

As the battle raged on, a powerful attack targeted Noah's Gigantic Blue Horn Dragon Avatar. Acting swiftly, he countered with his own technique, the Azure Essence Strike. The clash of powers reverberated in the air as Noah redirected the force aimed at the formidable avatar.

Soon, Noah turned his head to look in the direction from where the attack had been launched.

And there, standing confidently ahead, was Shun Gordon, the Silver Ice Emperor. A subtle smile played on Shun Gordon's lips as he greeted Noah. "Well, well, if it isn't the Enlightened Void Sword Emperor himself. I did deduce that an attack on the Royal Palace was imminent, but I certainly didn't expect you and your Heretical Paladins to be the culprits."

Noah tightened his grip on his sword, a mixture of anger and hatred burning in his eyes. He took a deep breath, centering himself before muttering, "It seems fate has given me an opportunity I've been waiting for. I always wanted to kill you, Shun Gordon, and the Nine Yin Saintess. "

The tension in the air escalated as the two formidable figures faced each other amidst the chaos of battle.
