Chapter 1332: Kill the Minister, Shatter the Supreme Imperial Artifact (3/5, Request Subscription)

"Wrong!"

"This doesn't match the style of a night raid—could another anti-empire force have appeared?"

That brilliant sword light was no ordinary power—it was definitely a top-tier Imperial Artifact.

"Kill!"

Though Chitose's sword strike was mighty, it did not frighten the minister's henchmen.

One slash split the minister's mansion in two; the next moment, a flood of guards surged out.

"I'll handle it!"

Chelsea vanished, then next instant, she became a sword, sweeping across the entire field.

Where the sword light passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The so-called elite guards couldn't even hold for a second in her hands—they were instantly shredded into scraps.

"This is too terrifying!"

"What kind of Imperial Artifact is this?!"

Not far away, onlookers watched as Chelsea slaughtered everyone, their faces filled with panic.

Even more panicked was the minister preparing to fight back.

As the empire's highest minister, the minister possessed the Imperial Artifact Ireston; "000" was an Artifact capable of destroying other Imperial Artifacts.

Yet he discovered his Artifact was utterly useless against Chelsea.

"How is this possible? How could my Imperial Artifact fail?!"

A flicker of fear passed through the minister's cruel eyes—"No, I must make the Emperor activate the Supreme Imperial Artifact. If it's the Supreme Imperial Artifact, it must reverse this situation."

Just as he was about to leave, the sky darkened.

He looked up and saw a colossal hand pressing down.

"I spotted you long ago—still trying to run?"

Chelsea's voice was icy: "Minister, your time is up!"

Chitose suddenly said: "Don't destroy the Imperial Artifact!"

"Right!"

Chelsea was startled and held back some of her strength.

Crack!

The next instant, the minister was crushed into a lump of flesh and blood, while only the Imperial Artifact Ireston flew upward—Chelsea tossed it to Chitose.

Facing the Artifact, Chitose showed no change in expression, simply tossing it into Shangcheng to exchange for points.

"Let's go—to the imperial palace!"

Najihtan glanced at the minister's remains, had no time for lamentation, and turned her gaze toward the palace.

Everyone nodded and set off again, their figures quickly vanishing beyond the minister's mansion.

"They're heading to the imperial palace—do they intend to harm the Emperor?"

"This is bad!"

The nobles' hearts filled with dread.

They weren't necessarily loyal, but the Emperor represented their interests.

If the Emperor died, the consequences would be catastrophic—likely severely damaging noble interests.

This was something they absolutely could not allow.

But the Night Raid group was too terrifying.

Though the nobles were desperate inside, they had no power to resist—only helplessly fumed.

As for the commoners, they showed little expression over the minister's death or Night Raid's entry into the palace.

Some even secretly rejoiced.

These wicked nobles deserved to die long ago.

Boom!

As Chitose's group entered the palace, a tremendous sound echoed.

Looking up, they saw a colossal mech standing within the palace.

"That's the Supreme Imperial Artifact!"

"I didn't expect the empire to react so quickly—the Emperor has already activated the Supreme Imperial Artifact! Who's going this time?" Najihtan asked.

Chitose's gaze was complex: "I'll go. After all, it's just another Imperial Artifact—finish it quickly, so we can deal with what comes next."

As she spoke, her sword unsheathed and slashed.

Crack!

A magnificent sword light cut through the void, slicing across the Supreme Imperial Artifact.

The Artifact froze, then split cleanly in two before the eyes of all soldiers in stunned horror.

The Supreme Imperial Artifact represented the pinnacle of Imperial Artifacts, embodied imperial authority, and was the empire's final recourse.

Now, this Artifact had been effortlessly cleaved in half.

The soldiers felt their entire worldview collapse.

Was the empire's Supreme Imperial Artifact made of paper?

"This is impossible!"

General Bud was dumbfounded, utterly unable to accept the Artifact's destruction and the Emperor's death.

Only when the Artifact shattered and crashed to the ground with a thunderous crash did he snap back to reality.

He stared at Night Raid's group, his eyes filled with hatred.
