Chapter 0035: Facing Death

“Oh, is that so?” Huang Long replied indifferently upon hearing the other party’s words, his expression aloof, while Bogge looked at the chubby boy before him with mockery.
Boring? Well, it’ll get interesting soon.
Not only Du Dongnan but also the guards from theHill family surrounding him were secretly surprised by Huang Long and Bogge’s expressions, especially the previously uneasy ninth-level warrior, who grew even more anxious.
Yet no matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. What about their calmness and mockery? It seemed everything was under their control—even their attempt to ambush him that night had already been anticipated by them.
Du Dongnan also carefully activated his combat energy, staying on high alert.
“Hehe, facing death yet still acting tough here. Young man of the Huang family, I must admire you—your acting skills are comparable to those of court actors,” Du Dongnan sneered.
Though everything was strange, Du Dongnan didn’t think the other party could pull any more tricks.
Under the watchful eyes of Du Dongnan and theHill family guards, Huang Long stroked the soft fur of his pet and then said, “Have you been wondering these past two days why there’s no sign of the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Group?”
Du Dongnan was taken aback. Why did the other party bring up the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Group now? Still, he nodded awkwardly—this question had indeed puzzled him these past two days.
“You’ll see them once you go down,” Huang Long suddenly said, a cold glint in his eyes.
Go down? Du Dongnan didn’t understand at first. Once he realized what was meant, he grew furious and shouted, “Young man of the Huang family, since you dare to tease me—”
“Kill them! Go up and kill them first—cut off their tongues, then break their limbs, and torture them to death slowly!” Du Dongnan roared.
“Yes, Second Master!” A few guards from theHill family replied loudly before advancing toward Huang Long and Bogge with cold smiles.
Cut off their tongues, then break their limbs!
Huang Long’s gaze was icy, his robes rustling as if in a windless breeze.
Watching the guards from theHill family close in, Du Dongnan smiled and said, “Hehe, young man of the Huang family, you’ll soon enjoy the agony of having your limbs broken. Remember, not everyone can endure such pain.” With that, he burst into laughter.
“You too, go and finish off the other Huang family guards.”
The remaining guards from theHill family gladly obeyed, leaving only those two ninth-level warriors by Du Dongnan’s side.
But just as Du Dongnan finished speaking, two earth-shattering roars erupted in the sky, causing the ground around them to tremble violently.

What’s going on? Du Dongnan and the guards of theHill family paled in shock. When they turned around, they were stunned to see two mountain-sized magical beasts over ten meters tall before them. Two of theHill family guards who had tried to cut off the Yellow Dragon’s tongue and limbs were trampled under the giant feet of the underground dragon. Their hands and feet could be faintly seen struggling, while the other two were each held by one of the golden-eyed purple apes, crushed like persimmons. Amidst screams, the crisp sounds of bones being crushed and shattered could be heard continuously. The quiet night made these sounds especially harsh and terrifying. “Sacred Realm Magical Beasts!” “Sacred Realm Magical Beasts! They’re Sacred Realm Magical Beasts!” The terrifying aura of the two beasts covered dozens of miles around, making the guards of theHill family feel as if they couldn’t breathe. Many started screaming in terror. Du Dongnan’s face turned pale, his chest heaving rapidly. The ninth-level powerhouse, who had been uneasy earlier, was shocked to find that the two pets he thought were held by the Yellow Dragon were gone. A terrifying thought flashed through his mind as he stared at the two beasts even more intently. Could it be…? At that moment, he saw the mocking gaze of the Yellow Dragon. In that gaze, he also saw an air of superiority, as if everything should submit to it. The Yellow Dragon stood there, coldly watching the people of theHill family. “Attack,” the Yellow Dragon’s voice was ethereal, but to the ninth-level powerhouse, it sounded like thunder. While Du Dongnan and the other guards of theHill family were still trying to understand how Sacred Realm Magical Beasts could appear here, the two beasts, Pi Er and En Di, attacked. Amidst screams, the nightmare for the guards of theHill family began. It wasn’t until the powerful force waves and the guards’ flesh flying everywhere that Du Dongnan finally realized what was happening. His mind instantly understood, yet he still couldn’t believe it! What had that kid from the Huang family said just now? “Attack!” Yes, attack! Those Sacred Realm Magical Beasts had attacked at his command! Seeing that the pets were gone from the Yellow Dragon’s arms, he, along with the ninth-level powerhouse, realized the identity of the two Sacred Realm Magical Beasts. Realizing this, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Flee? But fleeing in front of Sacred Realm Magical Beasts was almost impossible. In his terror, Du Dongnan fell into deep thought. Seeing the Yellow Dragon, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes. Right, capture that kid from the Huang family—then those two Sacred Realm Magical Beasts would be hesitant to act. Taking advantage of the beasts’ killing spree, Du Dongnan rushed forward, shouted loudly, and reached out to capture the Yellow Dragon.

Regarding Du Dongnan, Huang Long had been keeping a close watch on him. Seeing Du Dongnan charging at him now, he understood his intentions and a smirk appeared on his lips. Du Dongnan closed in on Huang Long, only a few meters away, seemingly about to capture him. Yet he saw a mocking expression on Huang Long’s face. Before he could react, a golden light appeared, and a fire shield materialized out of thin air in front of him. The fire elements on the shield were tightly arranged, as hard as steel, with a faint glow emanating from them. Du Dongnan’s hand, aimed at capturing Huang Long, struck the fire shield, sending him flying back as if hit by a heavy blow. When he got up from the ground, he exclaimed in panic, “The light of the fire shield!” Then he turned to Bog beside Huang Long and said, “A Sacred Realm mage!” A powerful being from the Sacred Realm! Another one! Isn’t this Bog just a worthless scoundrel bought by the Huang family from the slave market? How is this possible? That slave market owner dared to deceive ourHill family! Du Dongnan was filled with terror and anger. “Second Master, run quickly! We’ll hold them back!” The two ninth-level powerhouses of theHill family, seeing another Sacred Realm warrior appear, felt utterly despondent. All they could hope for now was to protect Du Dongnan and let him escape back to theHill family, so that their people could be informed of everything. Otherwise, this would be a devastating disaster for theHill family. After saying that, the two ninth-level powerhouses desperately used their ultimate skills to try and hold off Bog. Du Dongnan also immediately understood the critical situation and without hesitation, tried to turn and flee. Flee? With a flash, Huang Long appeared in front of Du Dongnan. “Do you think you can escape?” Huang Long said with a faint smile. A cruel look flashed across Du Dongnan’s face as he roared, “You scoundrel of the Huang family! Even if I die, I’ll take you with me!” With that, he channeled all his fighting energy and unleashed theHill family’s earth-level fighting technique, “Collapse Fist.” His strength at the peak of eighth level was fully displayed at this moment. Shadows of fists overlapped, and the air itself seemed to howl. Instead of retreating, Huang Long advanced and countered with his own fist. A thin layer of dragon scales instantly covered his small hands, and sharp bone spurs emerged from the joints of his arms, glowing with a cold light. Seeing that this six-year-old child dared to confront him, Du Dongnan laughed heartily. “Hehe, you scoundrel of the Huang family! Die!”
