Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 277: Wild Hunt

The unit led by Seryu and Ieyasu charged through the northern tribal army with unstoppable force, causing them to scatter in complete disarray. Most of the tribal soldiers were slaughtered on the spot, while only a small fraction managed to escape into the vast mountains.

Seryu wanted to pursue them, but Ieyasu stopped her, reminding her that the princess had ordered them only to rout the enemy. Expending resources and time chasing these now-cowardly deserters into the endless mountains...

Chapter 276: Go On A Killing Spree

Facing the Imperial Army, which was as disorderly as a pack of wolves, the elite Guards swiftly overwhelmed them. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Guards managed to completely defeat the Imperial Army, leaving corpses strewn across the battlefield and capturing hundreds of soldiers, even surpassing the total number of Kaguya's entire Guard.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Army prisoners have been captured. How should we deal with them?" A guard hurried to Kaguya's side, kneeling as h...

Chapter 275: Eradicate Scum

In Seryu's mind, the Imperial Army should protect civilians, resist foreign invasion, and eliminate evil. But in the words of the old village chief, she discovered another side of the Imperial Army.

Not only did the Imperial Army fail to resist the invasion of the northern tribes, but they also abetted the enemy, taking advantage of the chaos of war to ransack the village. Moreover, they killed several villagers who dared to resist, abducted innocent young women, and abused them to deat...

Chapter 274: The Princess's Royal Guard

"The scouts reported Northland soldiers five kilometers from the village," the Imperial Guard scout said, kneeling respectfully.

"That's great, Koro, let's go," Seryu exclaimed excitedly, clutching Koro and tugging at the horse's reins, speeding off like an arrow.

"Hey, wait!" Ieyasu shouted a few times in vain, but Seryu was already out of earshot. He shook his head helplessly. Seryu usually seemed like a cute little girl, but when it came to fighting, she became a different pers...

Chapter 273: Complete Victory

The guard was a bit perplexed, unable to make sense of the Princess's cryptic remark. How could the danger beasts vanish on their own? That seemed quite unbelievable. Although he had always had great faith in the Princess, this time, he couldn't help but feel confused.

However, his confusion was soon resolved.

One of the danger beasts rampaging across the battlefield, covered in crimson blood, suddenly began to swell like an inflating balloon, gradually growing larger. Its body di...

Chapter 272: Pursuit

Akame's face flushed with embarrassment and anger, breathing heavily and drenched in sweat. She bit her soft, red lips and swung her sword chaotically at Kaguya.

Faced with her relentless attacks, Kaguya did not wish to be entangled with her. She focused her eyes, and with a sudden swing of her fair arm, the sword in her hand transformed into a fleeting streak of light, striking toward Akame with lightning speed.

A crisp metallic clash rang out.

The Kusanagi sword accurately...

Chapter 271: Fly Into A Rage Out Of Humiliation

Watching the sharp blade heading towards her abdomen, Kaguya showed a look of surprise on her face. She did not expect Akame to have such determination, risking injury to kill her. Was it worth it?

If Kaguya had not stopped herself in time, Akame's fair arm might have been cut off.

Did Akame really not care?

Seeing Kaguya's expression of surprise, Akame felt a sense of relief. The pressure Kaguya exerted was overwhelming; her attacks were continuous and seamless like moonlig...

Chapter 270: Teach Akame a Lesson

A dazzling light erupted from Kaguya's location, triggering a violent explosion. A shockwave burst forth, carrying waves of air with it, as smoke and dust filled the air.

As the dust gradually settled, a graceful silver-haired girl emerged from the haze. She was unharmed, save for the scars from her battle with Esdeath; her clothes bore not a single tear.

"Night Raid," Kaguya muttered, furrowing her brows and glancing into the distance. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. L...

Chapter 269: Annihilate in One Fell Swoop

Just as the words fell like a stream of clear spring water, a sudden outcry erupted from within the northern tribes' army, as if they were enduring immense pain, causing one's hair to stand on end.

At first, there were only a few cries, but then the wails became more numerous and piercing, echoing one after another. The soldiers in the northern tribes' army began to panic. Unaware of what was happening, they pushed and shoved each other, trying to flee forward. Occasionally, someone wou...

Chapter 268: The Dignity of a Man Trampled Underfoot

Countless spears, glinting with icy light, flew toward Kaguya like a rain of arrows, covering the sky at a speed that could not be caught by the ear.

Facing the rain of spears, Kaguya remained calm and composed. Her beautiful face showed no panic as she gazed at the incoming spears, and the corner of her mouth lifted slightly as she chuckled softly.

Her white arm slowly rose, her five fingers gradually spread open like jade onions.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Suddenly, a powerful...

Chapter 267: The Villain Dies from Talking Too Much

The silver-haired girl in front of him had hair that flowed like mist or a waterfall, swaying in the wind. Her flawless skin was as smooth as silk, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her clear eyes were like still water. Below her delicately upturned nose, her lips were pink and rosy. Beneath her slender neck, her chest was as smooth as white jade, partially concealed yet tantalizing, like a bud about to bloom.

Prince Seika's eyes lit up, as if drawn by a magnet, unable to look ...

Chapter 266: How do you want to die?

Kaguya was not expecting that these northern tribes would use tens of thousands of soldiers as bait to draw fire. After all, it was a force of tens of thousands of men—even slaughtering tens of thousands of pigs would take several days.

The largest battles in the Naruto world were only about tens of thousands of people, and that involved the bulk of the ninja from the five great ninja villages.

Faced with an enemy several times, even dozens of times larger, the Imperial Guard di...

Chapter 265: Insanely Dangerous Bait

To the mournful and deep sound of horns, the northern tribes' army began their assault. Hoofbeats pounded, and the roaring of drums filled the air. Flags fluttered fiercely in the cold wind. The vast army surged forward like a tidal wave, dark and overwhelming.

Ahead, a unit of less than a thousand soldiers stood guard, fully armed and clad in black iron armor. They held cold spears and carried sharp steel swords at their waists, with small crossbows slung across their backs. Despite be...

Chapter 264: The Real Show Is Just Beginning

Watching Esdeath's tall figure gradually fade into the distance, Kaguya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was afraid of Esdeath; it was just that whenever she saw Esdeath's enigmatic smile, Kaguya felt a chill run down her spine.

What on earth was going on?

Kaguya felt puzzled. Did Esdeath have some sort of scheme?

Kaguya trusted her intuition and foresight, which had proven accurate many times, prompting her to be vigilant.

But she didn't ...

Chapter 263: A Perverted Feeling

Esdeath moved like a streak of light, and in a flash, she was right in front of Kaguya. With a swift swing of her arm, her sharp blade slashed through the air, leaving trails of afterimages as it slashed toward Kaguya.

Kaguya's eyes narrowed. Esdeath's speed was already impressive before, but now it had increased to the point of creating afterimages.

Kaguya quickly stepped back, narrowly avoiding Esdeath's slash. Just as she prepared to turn around, she heard a whooshing sound bes...

Chapter 262: The Battle Between the Princess and the General

The night was hazy, with stars scattered across the sky.

It was early winter, and the air was suddenly cold. A crescent moon hung quietly in the sky, its cold light like an autumn stream, pouring down like threads, illuminating the fallen leaves and adding to the chill.

Under the cold moonlight, two figures were locked in fierce combat, their weapons clashing with a metallic ring that shattered the night's silence.

The two figures were none other than Her Highness Kaguya and...

Chapter 261: A Young Girl's Conquest

The heroic woman standing before her was none other than the Empire's strongest general, Esdeath. However, Kaguya was unsure why she was here at this time.

When something unusual happens, it is usually not good. Kaguya was inwardly cautious.

Esdeath approached with light steps, bowed slightly, and smiled, "Hello, Your Highness."

"I didn't expect to meet you here. What an honor," Kaguya said, skillfully twirling a lock of her hair with her fair fingers and smiling faintly. "H...

Chapter 260: Meeting the General Again

The massacre was about to begin.

Like a tidal wave, the soldiers of the northern tribes charged forward, brandishing their spears and swords as they sprinted toward the silver-haired girl in the distance. Their blood-red eyes shone with lustful excitement.

Their eagerness stemmed from a promise made by their deputy leader: whoever caught this woman first would have her all to himself. The thought of holding this beautiful silver-haired girl and relishing her softness and cries mad...

Chapter 259: Scared Out of One's Wits

By the time Kaguya and her group arrived at the scene, the village was already reduced to ashes in the blazing fire. Scorch marks were everywhere, and the buildings had been burned to the ground, leaving only charred wood and crumbling walls standing.

Corpses lay strewn across the ground, their bodies covered in cuts and wounds. The blood had dried, leaving behind a dark red stain that was shocking to see. Many of the bodies had been so badly burned in the fire that they were unrecogniz...

Chapter 258: Strategize In The Command Tent

As it turns out, the Love Guide that Kaguya was reading had actually been taken from someone, and surprisingly, that someone was Kurome.

This story begins a few days earlier when Kaguya wanted Kurome to help train the soldiers since Kurome's skills were quite advanced. While Kaguya herself was very powerful, her abilities were closely tied to her unique skills, making it difficult to teach others since regular soldiers lacked the advanced skill of chakra.

Despite loo...

Chapter 257: Come with me—let's kill!

Najenda ultimately could not persuade Kaguya. She paused and looked back at the princess's palace, recalling Kaguya's resolute words:

"If you cannot protect the people of this country, then I will."

When the princess spoke these words, they were powerful and resonant, with an unparalleled sincerity that made Najenda feel a bit ashamed of herself.

In truth, she did not agree with the Revolutionary Army's decision to bring the northern tribes into the country. She knew how muc...

Chapter 256: Jumping Clown

In the dim light, a figure stepped forward. She had short white hair and a beautiful, heroic face. Her tall, slender figure was striking, especially her prominent chest. She wore a black suit that accentuated her alluring charm and bold spirit.

Kaguya recognized this woman—she was none other than Najenda, the boss of Night Raid.

"I never expected you to be the princess. What a surprise," Najenda said with a smile as she looked at Kaguya.

Najenda had seen Kaguya before and ...

Chapter 255: By Any Means Necessary

Captain of the Guard Ieyasu trembled, his eyes widening as he involuntarily glanced at the silver-haired girl standing by the window, deeply shocked.

Could it be that the princess had already foreseen this?

Kaguya's eyebrows slightly furrowed as she spoke, "I remember the pass has more than two thousand stationed troops, and there are city defense weapons. How could it have been breached so quickly?"

"Reporting to Your Highness," the guard kneeling on the ground respectfully...

Chapter 254: The Beginning Of The War

It seemed that over the past two months, Seryu had truly been starving. After taking a bath, she devoured the exquisite dishes on the table with no regard for her image, ignoring even Kaguya's teasing.

However, because of her prolonged hunger, she couldn't eat too much to avoid protein poisoning. So after a short while, Air removed the dishes and served a light vegetable porridge instead.

Seryu, however, did not appreciate this gesture, assuming that Kaguya was deliberately making...

Chapter 253: A Young Girl's Dilemma

"Why should I tell you?" Seryu snorted, feigning defiance, though there was a hint of unease in her heart.

"Forget it," Kaguya waved her hand, seemingly bored. "Even if you don't tell me, I will find out."

With that, Kaguya turned and walked out of the dungeon. As her light footsteps faded away, Seryu's heart sank deeper into despair, her face showing a hint of fear about the miserable future she foresaw for herself in the dungeon.

Just as Kaguya was about to leave the dunge...

Chapter 252: Interrogate The Girl

Just as Seryu was sobbing uncontrollably, she suddenly sensed something. She lifted her tear-filled eyes to find the silver-haired girl, who had just left, now standing before her again.

This time she was smiling, extending a white handkerchief with her snow-white arm.

"Wipe your face," Kaguya said with a light laugh, "you look like a mess."

Seryu quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve and turned her head away, full of defiance; she had no intention of showing weakness to th...

Chapter 251: Too Bullying!

The dungeon was dark and eerie, with only a few dim oil lamps flickering along the sides of the corridor, casting shadowy glows. Walking under the faint light, shadows loomed around.

Descending the stairs, the coldness intensified, and the air was filled with the stench of rotting earth. The dungeon was deathly silent, the only sounds were the echoing of footsteps and faint heartbeats, creating an unsettling atmosphere.

Though the dungeon appeared as bright as day to Kaguya, she h...

Chapter 250: Return To The Territory

I thought there would be a good show to watch, but it ended before it even began. Was this a diversion tactic, trying to draw the guards away from the carriage and then attack to steal the goods?

However, Kaguya dismissed that thought. If that were the case, the canyon should have been heavily ambushed on both sides, waiting to attack once the guards left. Yet, under Kaguya's ocular jutsu, there was no ambush detected on either side of the canyon. With her perception, she would have sen...

Chapter 249: Highway Robbery

The sky was high and the clouds were light, the cicadas cried in sorrow, the autumn wind was bleak, and the forest was drenched in color. The season had reached late autumn, and the weather gradually became cooler. Everything was withering, and white dew condensed into frost. Amidst the atmosphere of desolation, there was a strong sense of coldness.

Yet the cold of late autumn did not dampen people's enthusiasm.

When Her Highness the Princess left, the small town emptied, with cro...

Chapter 248: The Targeted Princess

Standing in front of Kaguya was a woman with magnificent silver-blue hair and deep, icy blue eyes. Her features were exquisite, with a queenly, almond-shaped face and crystal-clear white skin. Her figure was voluptuous, and she exuded a commanding aura with a captivating charm.

Kaguya seemed unfazed, lounging lazily on a plush, comfortable sofa. She held a teacup in her pale hands, sipping from it before exhaling softly. Then, she looked up and smiled lightly, saying, "I'm surprised the...
