Chapter 0103: Invisible Sword Qi
“People from the Elan family,” Huang Long said slowly.
“Hehe, not bad.” Nado looked at him with mockery. Usually, after saying that, the other party would show terror, tremble, and crawl over on knees to beg for mercy.
He had encountered this many times before. Some inexperienced small families thought they were something special, but once he mentioned the Elan family, they would be terrified.
However, to his surprise, the other party didn’t show the expected fear, nor did they crawl over on knees crying for mercy. Instead, they walked over indifferently, with cold eyes, and their aura filled him with dread.
Nado instinctively stepped back.
Wei Lin, standing next to Nado, roared, “Dare you ignore my Elan family, you brat? You’re seeking death!” With that, Wei Lin channeled his combat energy, struck out with a palm, and space howled.
Huang Long glanced over.
Wei Lin felt as if the other person’s gaze was like two sharp swords piercing deep into his heart. Startled, just then, he saw the other person wave their right hand. Curious, he suddenly felt intense pain all over his body and cried out in agony. Looking down, he saw countless sword qi piercing through his body.
After a while, streams of blood gushed out from those wounds, like fountains in a forest, creating a small rain of blood.
The blood rain fell from the sky, carrying an eerie, terrifying atmosphere.
Then, Wei Lin collapsed, still wearing an expression of disbelief on his face.
“Invisible Sword Qi!”
One of the supreme techniques among sword qi methods.
Invisible Sword Qi was difficult to cultivate. But for Huang Long, he currently only lacked sufficient magical power. Once he had enough, he would be able to use all the techniques from his past life gradually.
Unlike the Xuanqing Great Freedom Sword Qi, Invisible Sword Qi wasn’t formed from condensed vital energy but was actual swords. After Wei Lin collapsed and died, the space around him twisted, revealing countless swords.
These were invisible swords—magical swords that could blend into the space of heaven and earth.
After appearing, these countless invisible swords disappeared back into space, merging with the universe.
These invisible swords were the result of Huang Long’s day and night efforts over the past few days. After revealing some of his strength by attacking the Dragon Language Empire’s palace, Huang Long now needed to keep preparing to strengthen himself.
With Huang Long’s cultivation now nearly reaching the peak of the Sacred Realm, he could wield this invisible sword to eliminate even high-level Sacred Realm warriors within a few hundred feet if they were unprepared—let alone Wei Lin, who was only at the middle level of the Sacred Realm. Protected by the Five-directional Flags, armed with this invisible sword and the Five-element Teleportation technique, Huang Long feared nothing even if several high-level Sacred Realm warriors attacked; he would still slaughter them all. This was the power of divine techniques and magical artifacts. With a single strike, Huang Long killed Wei Lin. The spectators around him widened their eyes in disbelief as they watched Wei Lin lie motionless on the ground. It was far too dramatic—had they not witnessed what had happened earlier, they might have thought it was a staged performance. Shocking, absolutely shocking! There were many level-9 powerhouses among the onlookers, and they could clearly see that Wei Lin was a Sacred Realm warrior. A warrior who stood at the pinnacle of the Hengyuan Continent had died like this! The opponent had simply waved his hand casually, with his right hand, and killed him! Gasps of shock filled the air. Everyone stared in terror at Huang Long, this young man. As if unaware of the reactions around him, Huang Long continued to walk slowly toward Nado after killing Wei Lin with the invisible sword energy. Nado, the usually domineering and proud young master of the Elan family, pulled his gaze away from Wei Lin in shock. Seeing Huang Long approaching, he retreated in panic, crying out, “You, you, don’t come here! I’m the young master of the Elan family!” In his haste, he stumbled and fell to the ground, then crawled backward on his buttocks, still filled with fear. At this moment, Huang Long, who was slowly approaching, resembled a demon emerging from hell—a terrifying demon. The aura around Huang Long grew stronger by the moment as it pressed toward Nado. Nado lost all remaining sense of reason and hope, leaving only endless fear. “No, don’t come!” His voice sounded pitiful. If outsiders didn’t know the truth, they might have thought they were witnessing some kind of tragic incident. When Nado could no longer bear the fear of death, he crawled over on his knees, pleading, “Elder, I was wrong. Please spare my life! I’ll never dare do this again.” The onlookers looked down on Nado, who was kneeling and begging like a dog. Was this really the young master of the Elan family? The reputation of the Elan family would surely be ruined. Nado probably never imagined such an outcome. Just moments ago, he thought the other party would come crawling to him in supplication, but now everything had turned upside down.
“That’s… Huang, Senior Huang Long?!” At that moment, a noble from the Kingdom of Lutong among the gathered crowd recognized Huang Long, who rarely appeared in public, and cried out in shock.
Senior Huang Long!
This young man was actually Senior Huang Long!
The crowd around them erupted into chaos!
Everyone started shouting in astonishment, looking at Huang Long with excitement, reverence, and admiration.
Many noble girls even covered their faces, their hearts fluttering.
Nado was so terrified that he collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
Senior Huang Long?!
He was the very Senior Huang Long who led a group of Sacred Realm magical beasts to attack the palace of the Dragon Speech Empire!
Even if he were arrogant, he wouldn’t dare claim that the Elan family was stronger than the Dragon Speech Empire.
If he could even kill the crown prince and princess of the Dragon Speech Empire, how would they take you, the eldest son of the Elan family, seriously? Nado felt deep regret and shame—how could he have such poor eyesight as to get involved with such an unparalleled powerhouse from the Sacred Realm!
Originally, he had come to the auction under his family’s orders, remembering their instruction to avoid trouble. But then he ran into his second uncle, Nato, the one who had been exiled from the family lands by their father years ago.
By now, the orc Nato had also recovered from his shock.
It was the first time in all these years that he had seen his master take action, and the first time he had witnessed Huang Long’s terrifying strength.
While feeling deep reverence, Nato also felt immense gratitude—after all, this whole situation started because of him. Now, because of him, his master might become enemies with the Elan family.
“Master,” Nato said, approaching and kneeling down respectfully. “Nato pleads with you to spare his life.”
Huang Long glanced at Nato. He knew what Nato was thinking. Killing a powerful member of the Elan family might make him angry, but it wouldn’t go so far as to start a feud with him. But Nado was the eldest son of the Elan family’s head—killing him would likely make reconciliation impossible, possibly even leading to an endless conflict.
Now that he had just become enemies with the Dragon Speech Empire, Nato didn’t want his master to become enemies with the Elan family because of him.
