Chapter 257: The Intruder Yunlong

Looking at the chaotic Execution Ground, Budo took a deep breath and slowly said, "General Esdeath!"

"What is it, General-in-Chief Budo?" Esdeath landed beside him and asked.

The clothes on Esdeath were somewhat disheveled; it was evident that she had just experienced a difficult battle.

"Leave the aftermath here to you; I have something else I must do!" Budo said.

"Something else?" Esdeath frowned slightly.

"That's right. Those who have betrayed the Empire must be sanctioned. I am going to pursue them, crush them one by one with my own hands, and make them realize the consequences of opposing the Empire!" Budo said coldly.

"General-in-Chief Budo, you should have seen it just now; there are at least two people on the other side at the same level as us. If you go alone now, wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Esdeath asked.

"Do you think this was my full strength? No, my strength is far beyond this. Based on the power they have displayed, I have over a fifty percent chance of delivering the Empire's sanction upon them!" Budo clenched his fists, lightning overflowing from both hands.

Having said that, Budo no longer paid attention to Esdeath, directly driving his Thunder Power to lift himself into the air and pursuing the direction in which Lingyun had left.

"Is this not your full strength?" A trace of mockery flashed in Esdeath's eyes. "Do you think what Lingyun displayed just now was his full strength?"

With the super speed of the Heavenly Dragon and the thunder eagle, Lingyun and his group quickly rushed out of the sky above the Imperial Capital. During this time, although Danger Beasts raised by the Imperial Capital came to intercept them, they could only howl as they were struck down by the Sword Qi and blade light of Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko.

Looking closely at the people on the thunder eagle, besides Chelsea, the other two were merely dummies. It was just that these two dummies were made to look lifelike, and the situation at the time was quite urgent, plus there was the cover of bright light, so even Budo did not notice the abnormality of the two people on the back of the thunder eagle.

"Najenda, you and the people from Night Raid take the thunder eagle and leave here first!" Suddenly, Lingyun said to Najenda beside him.

"Why, has something happened?" Najenda asked.

"It is just that a guest with ill intentions is approaching us. This guy has some grudges with me, and I don't want you to get involved in this." Lingyun's gaze looked toward the thunderclouds constantly approaching in the distance.

"Could it be that General-in-Chief Budo has caught up?" Najenda said with a frown.

"No, it is a big guy. You had better leave here first. Once I engage in battle with it, the scope of the aftermath will likely be very large, and besides, I am afraid you cannot intervene in this battle," Lingyun said.

"Alright, then take care!" Najenda nodded.

Najenda took the people from Night Raid and left, while Lingyun and the other three quietly hovered in mid-air, waiting for that patch of thunderclouds to approach.

Before long, those thunderclouds had arrived above Lingyun. From the thunderclouds, a massive figure suddenly burst out. It was a giant dragon with a slender body, with arcs of electricity flickering on its body from time to time; it was precisely the Super Danger Beast that inhabited the Cloud Sea of the East Sea—the Yunlong.

"The medicinal ingredients Ieyasu used to treat his illness back then were obtained from this big guy, right?" Looking at the Yunlong poking its head out from the clouds, Luo Yexi asked.

"I suppose so. Look, the horn on its head seems to be missing a piece!" Lingqi said, pointing at the top of the Yunlong's head.

"Then that must be it. I remember that in Ieyasu's medicine at the time, there was indeed a piece of horny substance!" Busujima Saeko nodded.

"Looking at its murderous appearance, it seems it wants to fight to the death with Master!" Luo Yexi chuckled, flipped her hand, and the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword landed quietly in her hand.

"Since that is the case, then let it never go back at all!" Busujima Saeko also slowly drew her Samurai Sword.

"After being beaten up so badly, instead of obediently finding a corner to hide in, it came out openly to look for trouble. It really doesn't know what death is!" Lingqi raised the pistol in her hand and aimed it at the Yunlong's head.

Feeling the gazes of the three women, the Yunlong instantly felt its scalp go numb. It seemed that it had come at the wrong time today. Although its strength had broken through because of the life-and-death crisis last time, now there seemed to be several more powerful helpers beside the opponent. If it went up now, would it be killed by them joining forces?

Just as the Yunlong was hesitating whether to use the thunderclouds to cover its escape, another patch of thunderclouds quickly approached this place, accompanied by a roar: "People who have betrayed the Empire, obediently accept the Empire's sanction!"

Hearing this voice, the Yunlong's eyes lit up. It seemed the other party also had enemies. And this person's strength was not bad; joining forces with him might allow them to kill that man. Thinking of this, the Yunlong let out a long whistle and lunged toward Lingyun's direction.

"Is this seeing Budo coming and wanting to join forces with him?" Lingyun chuckled, his aura rising step by step, instantly elevating to the same level as the Yunlong.

"I will go block Budo; this Yunlong is left to you, Master!" Luo Yexi smiled faintly, red flames ignited on her body again, and she transformed into a fire phoenix, flying toward Budo's direction.

On the side, Busujima Saeko nodded slightly to Lingyun, then transformed into a blood-colored stream of light and pursued in the direction of Lingyun.

Seeing that Budo's arrival successfully lured away two people, a trace of smugness flashed in the Yunlong's eyes. It saw the Thunder Power on its body surge, and countless bolts of lightning rushed out from its scales, pouring toward Lingyun's direction like a rainstorm.

Lingqi, who was beside Lingyun, waved her hand at Lingyun, after which the shadow under her feet expanded rapidly, and her figure instantly sank into the shadow and disappeared.

Facing the sky full of Thunder rushing toward him, a sharp glint flashed in Lingyun's eyes. The Dragon Mask on his face had purple radiance flowing continuously, and strands of purple light flowed out from the mask, falling onto Lingyun's body.

The moment the purple light fell onto Lingyun, it transformed into streaks of purple dragon patterns. The dragon patterns spread out on Lingyun's body, outlining a strange portrait on him. The moment the dragon patterns took shape, wind and thunder raged around Lingyun, and one could faintly see a giant purple dragon appearing beside Lingyun, roaring at the sky.

"Hah!" Lingyun formed a seal with one hand, and a purple lightning vortex instantly appeared in front of him, with unknown light flickering in the center of the vortex.

The lightning rushing toward Lingyun seemed to be attracted by some power, and they all gathered into the vortex. In just a moment, the lightning rushing toward Lingyun completely disappeared, and the lightning vortex in front of Lingyun also shattered, transforming into several purple Thunder Beads hovering beside him.

Seeing this scene, the Yunlong immediately turned around and dived into the thunderclouds. The originally calm thunderclouds instantly churned, as if some terrifying power was brewing within them.
