Chapter 3

In Emperor Han's palace room.

Emperor Han was thinking about Han Shu who was traveling to the border town.

"Is my son all right? I only sent twenty palace soldiers to escort him and also three supervisors of the Nescent Soul Realm to watch over and protect him."

"They should be fine since I gave their Leader an Earth Grade Weapon."

"What's wrong my husband? What are you thinking?" Suddenly the Empress entered the room and asked.

"I was thinking of how to make the Empire prosperous," Emperor Han lied.

"Is that true?" The Empress was a little disbelief at Emperor Han's answer.

"Yes, I was thinking about it. I'll go out for a while to meet someone. He seems to have waited a long time in the Palace Room." Emperor Han leaves his room leaving Empress Empress.

"You are still thinking about that child! I hope that child really dies! I rely on you my son ..." Empress was annoyed.

"I will help you become a Crown Prince and make you an Emperor in this Empire."

The empress of the Han Empire is named Han Xie. He came from a 1st class Family in the Han Empire. He has a son named Han Wei, the Second Prince.

Han Xie is a very ambitious woman. He will do everything in his power to expel those who get in his way.

Previously Han Xie was only an Emperor's concubine. She succeeded in becoming Empress by killing the previous Empress, the Mother of Han Shu.

He poisoned the previous Empress when she was pregnant. She wanted to kill her unborn child at the same time but was unable to kill her child.

He kept trying to find a way to kill Han Shu but it was never successful because the Emperor protected him very tightly.

Until Han Shu was 18 years old. He was made Crown Prince by the Emperor and would inherit his father's power. This added to his resentment towards Han Shu because his son was not the Crown Prince.

Han Xie always made plans to remove him from the Crown Prince and it worked out in the end.

His current ambition is to make his son the Crown Prince and become the Emperor of the Han Empire.

At the battle ground.

A fierce battle broke out between them again. Even though Han Shu's surveillance group numbered three, they were still superior to the raid group of five.

"Boss, they are very strong. The five of us are not enough to beat them. We should just retreat," said one of the men in the raid group.

"Retreat? What shall we say to the second prince? Did you forget what you got when the previous mission failed?" Do you want to be tortured by the second prince again? "

Their whole bodies suddenly shivered when their Leader asked that question. They returned to remember the torments they had previously suffered.

"But boss, we will get killed if they continue."

"Eat this!" Their leader threw a pitch black pill at his subordinates.

"What are these pills, boss?"

"I don't know. The second prince gave it to me and told me to use it when it was urgent."

Without lingering, they immediately ate the pill. After eating them, their strength suddenly increased greatly. The energy in their bodies was constantly churning.

"Whoa, my cultivation realm suddenly broke through two levels."

"Well, with this power we don't have to worry about fighting them anymore!" One of them suddenly dashed towards Han Shu's supervisory group quickly.

"Taste this! Crescent Moon Slash!"

A surge of energy formed after he slashed through the fields, forming a Crescent and aiming for Han Shu's chariot.

"Our target is only the first Prince. I don't need to attack them. They will definitely block my attack to protect him."

And sure enough, they immediately resisted the attack even though it didn't hit them.

BOOM!

Puffs of smoke began to appear due to the effects of the attack. Obstructed their vision.

"Was my attack successful?" He watched carefully.

Little by little the smoke began to disappear. It looked like Han Shu's supervisory group was still in good condition without being hurt at all.

Their leader carried a sword that was enveloped in flames.

"Too weak!" he said disparagingly.

He then darted towards the surveillance group members to counter his attack earlier.

"Feel this!" shouted Chief Overseer Han Shu.

In one fell swoop Superintendent Han Shu managed to kill him. But suddenly the corpse exploded with a fairly violent explosion.

BOOOMM!

The explosion made the ground around it become like a basin. The leader was seriously injured because the distance was too close.

"Phew, fortunately I immediately made a defense otherwise I would have died immediately from the explosion."

"Are they all right?" The leader looked back to see the state of his subordinate.

He was relieved that the effect of the explosion was not so extensive that it didn't hit his subordinates as well as the First Prince.

He took out a healing pill on his Storage Ring and ate it to heal all of his wounds.

"Where did you get Earth Grade Weapons in a place like this?" asked the leader of the raid.

Weapons in the mortal world are divided into 6 levels namely, Low Level, Intermediate Level, High Level, Earth Level, Heaven Level, and Heavenly Level.

Weapons above High Rank were extremely rare in the territory of the Han Empire. Only the Family and the Great Sects have, and even then, only a few. They never show it to the general public as their hidden Power.

Whereas Heavenly Level Weapons had not been seen since hundreds of years ago. Now Celestial Grade Weapons were considered as a myth as time passed.

"It's useless to tell you because you will soon die in my hands," said Chief Superintendent Han Shu.

"How dare you underestimate us ... Attack him!" The Raid Leader ordered his three men to attack.

The three of his men took out their ultimate weapon. Then they rushed straight at him and attacked him with all their might.

"Mountain-Splitting Punch!

"Heaven's Slash!"

"Divine Spear!"

BOOMM!

"Blazing Blazing Fire!"

The Waves of Flames from the Chief Guardian's sword cut through the three of them until the effect of the slash cut through hundreds of trees in front of him.

Instantly they died and their bodies exploded with an explosion that was even stronger than before.

The Overseer Leader immediately moved back to the side of the horse carriage before their bodies exploded so that he was not injured.

He had a hard time standing up straight after using that attack. He used his sword as support for his body.

"Sir, are you all right?" asked the two under him as he helped him up.

"My strength was almost completely depleted after using that attack. Right now I don't have enough strength to fight the leader," replied the Chief Overseer breathlessly.

"Now, sir, take a break first to recover your strength. We will hold it for a while—"

BOOM!

Suddenly, the two of them were hit by the leader of the ambush until they were knocked several meters away from the trees.

"Hehehe, I won't let your strength recover at all." He said.
