Chapter 471

【3】

Eight thousand stout, sturdy black-and-white pandas clad in heavy armor, each holding an eight‑sided wind‑polished copper staff, stood imposingly on the traveling palace's city wall.

The note says: Need to keep numbers. Then they list components. So the Chinese line for 【5】 is likely the same as 【3】? Actually they might be giving the breakdown for the same line. So we can treat 【5】 as same Chinese as 【3】. So translation same.

These pandas all belong to the Eastern Palace; over these six thousand long years, bored to death, they used secret arts to awaken their spiritual intellect, took spirit pills to boost their potential, and after being taught the Eastern Jin royal secret divine technique, the 'Great Power Dragon Elephant Bodhisattva Sutra,' they followed the body‑cultivation path, becoming fetal‑storage realm demon cultivators.

【9】

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

【11】

Roar!

【14】

Wu Duzun, thousands of warships surged forward at low altitude a hundred zhang above ground, rushing with wind‑and‑lightning speed; a particularly burly and mighty panda warrior raised his head and let out a great roar, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and reached into his teeth to pull out a splinter of bamboo.

【16】

Each wind‑polished copper staff weighed over ten thousand catties, and when thrown with full force by these panda warriors, its impact was enough to shatter a mountain.

【18】

The dozen or so warships at the forefront were struck by the staffs; light and flame burst forth, the warships' interiors emitted a dull rumbling, large sheets of fire sprayed from their hulls, and the countless armored warriors on the decks shook violently, some even falling to the deck.

【20】

Finally, a tremendous bang was heard; several warships that had borne the brunt of the attack exploded, countless soldiers broke through the smoke and fire, stepped on flowing clouds, blood‑soaked, and charged toward the traveling palace.

【22】

The burliest panda warrior slammed his chest, letting out a thunderous boom like muffled thunder: 'People remain, the city remains… you hairless brats, your cultivation is insufficient—don't come charging up to die! Mere Chonglou Realm? You aren't even fit to stuff a tooth gap for us bear grandpas!'

【25】

The eight thousand fetal‑storage‑realm panda warriors burst into loud laughter; a vast surge of vital energy rose from their heads, shooting straight into the heavens, forming a banner of vital energy nearly a hundred li wide that floated in the void, upon which could be seen a towering, three‑headed, eight‑armed bald man, a halo of light behind his head, riding a striped great tiger, each hand grasping a long dragon.

【27】

Under the clear sky, it sounded as if tens of thousands of furious thunderclaps had erupted; the tremendous roar shook the surrounding mountains violently, and within the vast Wu army formation, those low‑ranking soldiers whose cultivation was merely Chonglou Realm cried out in anguish, blood spurting from both ears as they collapsed face‑up.

【29】

After a cough, the yellow dragon lightly said: 'Hey, you underpowered little bugs, don't come here to die… soldier to soldier, general to general; in my Eastern Palace, there are no foot soldiers, only generals… following the old custom, how about we duel one‑on‑one?'

【31】

My meaning is, you send one person, I send one person, we'll fight one‑on‑one slowly, let's not harm harmony, okay?

【33】

This yellow dragon is not only lazy, but also extremely talkative.

【36】

Great Power Dragon Tiger Bodhisattva Sutra

【38】

Wu Du Zun's eyes glowed red; the stronger the traveling palace's foundation showed, the fiercer his greedy fire burned in his heart; he could no longer restrain himself, wishing desperately to personally wield a weapon and charge into battle, to personally assault this traveling palace.

【40】

Upon Wu Du Zun's order, tens of thousands of fetal‑storage‑realm experts rose into the air, stepping on flowing clouds as they rushed toward the traveling palace.

【42】

A flash of extreme murderous cold light crossed the yellow dragon's pupils; it suddenly raised its upper body and let out a lofty, cloud‑piercing long howl. Heaven and earth changed color, the ground trembled violently, and above the traveling palace a seven‑colored vortex appeared, revealing a corner of an ancient bronze‑colored palace.

【44】

An execution platform shot up from within the traveling palace, two bronze divine pillars on it radiating myriad zhang of light, with a constant clang sound, thousands of wrist‑thick bronze chains spewed from the pillars, forming a vast heavenly net that enveloped the charging Wu experts.

【46】

Wu Du Zun truly was about to go mad.

【48】

Treasures of this caliber, the Eastern Jin, Western Wei, and Wu each possess only two or three, all held by the imperial households, and they are the greatest reliance of the three kingdoms' royal families to maintain their rule.

【50】

A magnificently wonderful future flashed before Wu Du Zun's eyes; he immediately decided that, even if he couldn't command a great army to invade the Eastern Jin heartland, he would by any means breach this traveling palace and seize the national divine instrument Wanlong Palace.

【52】

Countless thunder‑light condensed divine weapons howled down from the sky; these Wu experts lacked the iron bones of Wu Tie, and a single strike blasted thousands of them on the spot into fragments, their souls reduced to mush.

【55】

The other Wu experts who hadn't fallen were also blasted, their skin split and flesh torn, bones broken and tendons severed; many were left limbless, a gruesome sight.

【57】

The second wave of thunder‑light condensed divine weapons was just forming, about to fall again.

【59】

As the execution platform's second wave of attack was about to fall, Wu Du Zun raised his head and let out a long howl; shaking the banner in his hand, countless streams of yellow auspicious qi rose, each bearing a lotus the size of a water jar that slowly turned.

【61】

Wu Du Zun drew back a flaming longsword and lunged toward the heavy defensive light shield above the traveling palace's city wall.

【63】

Vast bright light flickered, the entire traveling palace was enveloped in a thick curtain of light; the yellow dragon rose onto its hind legs, its forepaws forcefully waved, making a threatening gesture toward Wu Du Zun.

【65】

Countless yellow lotuses, large and small, gushed forth, swirling around Wu Du Zun, wildly clashing and canceling with the light curtain emitted by the traveling palace's defensive formation.

【67】

The yellow dragon widened its eyes and let out an astonished 'meow'.

【69】

Bang!

【71】

Wu Du Zun, furious and defeated, glared at the burliest panda warrior who had just approached the yellow dragon, and roared: 'You!'

【74】

Grandpa Bear, I hate you, this kind of bragging kid.

Wu Duzun, traveling palace (perhaps 'temporary palace', not a name), panda burly man (not a name).

none.

none.

Wu Du Zun was quickly beaten to a bloody head, but his cultivation method was tyrannical, his tendons and bones extraordinarily sturdy; the wind-polished copper club in the panda-strongman's hands was merely an ordinary three-refined immortal weapon, causing barely any harm to Wu Du Zun.

Moreover, Wu Du Zun, his face covered in blood, looked quite ferocious; with his eyes wide open, he appeared extremely vicious and ferocious.

【81】

Accompanied by a low rumbling sound, an extremely powerful force directly took over the highest authority of this ultra-long-distance spatial gate in Great Ze Prefecture.

Great Jin Divine State military standard warship (not a name); but 'Great Jin Divine State' appears.

Dozens of warships were filled with warriors clad in heavy armor, their aura at least at the mid-stage of the Life Pond Realm or above, all elite fighters.

【84】

Huang Lang appears; Huang Lang leads a group of officials from Great Marsh Prefecture out of the prefectural office. Also Great Marsh Prefecture appears again.

【86】

Zhao Xiu again, Great Marsh City; also Zhao family private warships. Zhao family.

A faint smell of blood lingered on him, and his face bore a hint of pain.

【92】

What's worse, according to the rules of the Great Jin Divine State, injuries from court corporal punishment cannot be healed with elixirs; they must rely on natural recovery.

However, the vicious power lingering on the court corporal punishment wound makes it impossible for the wound to heal in less than half a year.

Zhao Xiu at this moment is indeed a severely wounded body.

Linghu Qingqing appears; Sima Xian again; Zhao Xiu again; Zhao family private army; Great Wu army. Also Great Marsh Prefecture again.

That old bastard… that old bastard…

"Old thief!" Zhao Xiu stamped his feet furiously in anger.

This exertion directly strained the wounds on his buttocks and back, causing Zhao Xiu to grimace in pain instantly.

【97】

Zhao Xiu again; Vice Hall Master of the Great Jin Divine State's Central Hall (not a name); but father of Zhao Yin. Zhao Yin; General Huo Xiong; Wu Tie again.

【99】

Zhao Xiu again; Wu Tie again; Zhao Yin appears.

Wu Tie's reply came back immediately: "Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have gas; I'm busy fighting the Great Wu army, no time to listen to your chatter. Zhao Yin? Heh, who's Zhao Yin?"

Zhao Xiu's eyes twitched with anger; he grimly gripped the seal and sent his message: "I have been ordered to assassinate the Great Wu Crown Prince Wu Du Zun, to slow the advance of the Great Wu army… If you cooperate with me and successfully carry out the plan, the matter of Zhao Yin will be written off."

Wu Tie's reply came back quickly: "Who is Zhao Yin? I don't know him; what does his death have to do with me? I'm busy intercepting the Great Wu army, no time for your nonsense."

Zhao Xiu snarled ferociously: "This is a military order!"

Wu Tie's reply came back after a while: "A general abroad need not obey foolish orders… Hmm, what's in it for me?"

This was the first time in his life he had encountered such a shameless person.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Xiu finally transmitted the message: "If you can seriously wound Wu Du Zun, I will grant you the dukedom."
