Chapter 0153: Ambush

The Dragon Clan and the Church’s army were marching toward the Kingdom of Lutong, sparking widespread discussion across the Continent of Hengyuan.
Over the past half year, the name of the Yellow Dragon had spread to every corner of the continent. To its people, the Yellow Dragon was a legend. But now, with the alliance of the Dragon Clan and the Church determined to eliminate both the Yellow Dragon and the Huang family, could this legend continue?
Hundreds of billions across the entire Hengyuan Continent were watching and debating this issue. Of course, the vast majority were not optimistic about the Yellow Dragon. After all, the power of the Dragon Clan and the Church’s alliance was simply too great!
With sixty sacred realms and over a million powerful troops, there was no doubt they could destroy not only the newly risen Huang family but also one or even two of the empires—such as the Blizzard Empire, the Orc Empire, the Dark Forest Empire, or the Great Plains Empire—that had existed for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
**Blizzard Empire, Imperial Palace**
In the Wind and Moon Palace, Daina smiled sweetly. “This time, with the Yellow Dragon dead, the Zhao family will surely be affected too. Let’s see how that wretched Zhao can still compete with me for the emperor’s favor. Without the Zhao family’s support, I’ll slowly destroy you!”
Aisha beside her laughed. “Once Zhao Miao is dead, no one will compete with Sister Daina for the throne. Congratulations, Sister Daina!”
“Aisha, you must stay silent to avoid attracting the Emperor’s wrath,” Daina said, though her face was beaming with joy.
In a palace not far from the Wind and Moon Palace, a group of princes were also discussing the situation.
“What’s there to guess about? Hehe, I think that Yellow Dragon is doomed!” said Prince Lin Ming, gleefully enjoying others’ misfortune.
“Father has severed ties with the Huang family—how wise he is!”
Previously, he had learned from his mother, Princess Daina, that the Twelve Angels were going to ambush the Yellow Dragon, leading him to believe the Yellow Dragon was doomed. To his shock, the Yellow Dragon actually killed the Twelve Angels, scaring him so much that he didn’t dare leave the palace for days. But now, with the alliance of the Dragon Clan and the Church, along with those sixty sacred realms—including the Dragon Emperor and the Pope—there was no way the same thing could happen again.
“Yellow Dragon, let’s see if you’ll be so lucky this time!” Prince Lin Ming sneered inwardly.
Seeing Prince Lin Ming’s words, the other princes also dared not express any other opinions and agreed with him.
While the outside world was in turmoil, the Yellow Dragon remained calm, spending his days either preaching in the Immortals’ Pavilion or crafting armor, weapons, and potions. It seemed as if nothing outside affected him.
Five more days passed.
One day, the Yellow Dragon welcomed someone in his courtyard.
Long Yi—the true ruler of the World Alliance!

Seeing Long Yi, Huang Long was taken aback. After all, in his mind, although they had formed an alliance back then, it was merely verbal. This time, Long Yi would surely not let the Tianxia Alliance get involved, as it wouldn’t be good for them—Huang’s family wasn’t worth such a risk.

After Long Yi arrived, he looked at Huang Long with a strange gaze.
“You killed Oudo!” That was Long Yi’s first words upon meeting Huang Long again, leaving Huang Long utterly puzzled.

In fact, Huang Long had no idea just how shocked Long Yi must have been when he heard that he had killed Oudo, the Dragon Clan’s Grand Elder—a peak warrior of the Sacred Realm! Even he, a warrior of the Divine Realm, had to consider the Dragon Clan’s potential revenge before killing him. Yet Huang Long had done it—right in front of millions of people.

So when Long Yi found out, he felt mixed emotions. While amazed by Huang Long’s rapid improvement in strength, he also admired his boldness.

Huang Long nodded in response. Seeing his calm expression, Long Yi couldn’t help but smile. “I must admit, I admire you. In my life, I’ve only admired three people—you’re the fourth.”

The fourth? Though he didn’t know who the other three were, Huang Long could tell Long Yi wasn’t pretending.

“What brings you here?” Although he guessed the purpose, Huang Long still asked.

“Of course, I’m not here to freeload,” Long Yi said with a smile.

Huang Long was momentarily stunned, then smiled back at him.

“Rumors are swirling outside—claiming that your Huang family will be destroyed. But I, Long Yi, don’t think so,” Long Yi said after a pause.

“Oh? Do you think I can withstand the combined forces of the Dragon Clan and the Church?” Huang Long asked, interested.

“Indeed. Though I don’t know what your advantages are, I’m confident I won’t be wrong. My intuition has always been accurate,” Long Yi replied with a smile.

Huang Long chuckled. Intuition?

……

“That must be the Kingdom of Odin ahead,” said Pope Hades, riding on a light-type unicorn sacred beast.

“Yes, Your Holiness,” replied Gerson, head of the Tribunal, respectfully.

“The Kingdom of Odin… Well, it won’t be long before we enter the Magical Beast Mountains,” Hades said, his eyes gleaming. He remembered that it was during a return through the Magical Beast Mountains that Tai Ruo was killed by Huang Long.

“Huang Long… In a little over a month, this will be the first time we meet—and also the last,” Pope Hades said, a cold glint in his eyes.

“It’s a pity you didn’t enter the Holy War Academy back then,” Pope Hades sighed inwardly.
Although the Yellow Dragon was at odds with the Holy See, Hades sometimes still wondered how things would have been different if Tayro’s mission had succeeded and the Yellow Dragon had been recruited.
“Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, the Magical Beast Mountains are ahead,” said an elder of the Dragon Language Empire army, standing at the front of their forces and turning to address Dragon Emperor Fei with respect, about ten meters away from the Holy See’s knights.
Dragon Emperor Fei nodded indifferently and stared ahead without saying a word.
The other dragon elders couldn’t read his thoughts and dared not speak further.
Silence reigned, broken only by the whinnings of the mounts as the army moved forward.
“Do you think Moro andFit might have been killed by the Yellow Dragon?” After a long while, Dragon Emperor Fei suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
The dragon elders were stunned, then their expressions changed as they grew alarmed.
Indeed, everyone had initially narrowed down the killer to foreign powerhouses and never considered the Yellow Dragon, nor had they underestimated his strength. Now, with the Dragon Emperor’s words, it was possible that the Yellow Dragon was indeed the killer.
“He killed two of our dragon elders and the Golden Sacred Dragon—the Yellow Dragon must die!” As everyone was shocked and puzzled, Dragon Emperor Fei slowly spoke, his murderous intent sweeping around like a storm.
Everyone trembled in fear, even the dragon elders stepped back slightly.
“Oh, is that so?” Just as Dragon Emperor Fei’s voice faded, a voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“Who?!” Not only the dragon elders but also the holy men of the Holy See were shocked and shouted loudly.
Under countless astonished gazes, a young man with long hair slowly appeared in midair.
“The Yellow Dragon!” Dragon Emperor Fei and Pope Hades were unprepared to see him; their eyes narrowed.
“Yellow Dragon, you actually dare to come here alone to die!” After a moment of shock, Dragon Emperor Fei spoke first, his murderous intent flaring wildly.
Seeing the Yellow Dragon appear alone, the dragon elders and the holy men of the Holy See were also surprised. At first, they thought it might be an ambush, but after confirming there were no hidden auras around, they all looked at the Yellow Dragon with strange expressions.
Although this Yellow Dragon was a peak warrior of the Holy Land, did he really think he could single-handedly resist the many powerful warriors of the dragon clan and the Holy See?
“Is that so?” The Yellow Dragon smiled calmly, glanced at the powerful warriors of the dragon clan and the Holy See, then looked at Pope Hades at the forefront of the Holy See’s forces: “It’s not certain who’s coming to die!”

“Huang Long, I want you dead!” As soon as Huang Long spoke those words, suddenly, Dragon Emperor Felix roared and appeared before him in an instant. His dragon claws shot out at lightning speed, striking Huang Long in an instant.

Dragon Emperor Felix had intended to take advantage of Huang Long’s distraction to land a decisive blow, severely injuring him before capturing him. Yet, his plans failed completely. His dragon claws sliced through space, only to scatter Huang Long’s afterimage.

Just as he dispersed Huang Long’s afterimage, countless fierce sword auras surged toward him. Dragon Emperor Felix’s expression changed, and his entire body was covered in golden light. Within that golden light, layers of dragon scales protected him completely. The sound of intense clashes between metal and sword filled the air, with sparks flying everywhere in the sky.

Having dodged the attack, Dragon Emperor Felix retreated several hundred meters away. He stared in shock at Huang Long, recalling what had just happened. Even he, at the peak of the Holy Realm, felt terrified. If he had been delayed by even a fraction of a second, his entire body would likely be riddled with sword wounds.

Dragon Emperor Felix had heard of Huang Long’s invisible swords and had been on guard against them, but now he truly understood their terrifying power—they were utterly impossible to defend against.

After the exchange of blows between the Dragon Emperor and Huang Long, Pope Hades’ expression turned grave. If it had been him earlier, could he have dodged Huang Long’s invisible swords? He wondered silently.

Just as he was pondering, a scream rang out beside him, followed by another scream from the dragon clan. With those two screams, a knight commander from the Church and an elder from the dragon clan collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Everyone was filled with terror.

“From now on, I’ll kill two people every day!” came Huang Long’s cold, murderous voice. Then he disappeared into the sky, vanishing completely.

Two people per day from now on! Sixty Holy Realm warriors—insufficient?! Did he think it wasn’t enough to kill?!

Everyone’s faces turned pale, especially the Dragon Emperor and the Pope. Disdain! Utter contempt!

These two naturally referred to the two powerful warriors from the Holy Realm. Given the speed of the dragon clan and the Church’s armies, it would still take over a month to reach the Kingdom of Lutong. Did that mean all sixty Holy Realm warriors who came here would be killed before they arrived?!

“Search! Find them for me!” Dragon Emperor Felix roared, his face distorted in rage.

Not to mention the future, just today, Huang Long casually killed two Holy Land powerhouses in front of them before leaving. Once this news spreads, both the Dragon Clan and the Church will likely become the subject of ridicule across the Hengyuan Continent. Yet even he couldn’t detect how Huang Long left!
