Chapter 0465: The Lord of Buji Prefecture
Roar! After blocking the residual energy waves with his strength, the Lord of Hell leaped forward and attacked Bradd. As he struck, a crimson glow erupted from his entire body like raging flames.
Seeing this, Bradd didn’t retreat but advanced instead, flashing forward and delivering a palm strike.
A vile green light collided with a gray light.
A deafening explosion!
Deadly power and destructive force surged from above, shaking the surrounding area for millions of miles. Countless hell beasts screamed as they were flung backward, some even vanishing outright.
After that clash, both the Lord of Hell and Bradd stepped back tens of thousands of miles and stared at each other.
Bradd also gazed at his opponent.
Through that brief exchange, they had gained a rough idea of each other’s strength and were both secretly shocked.
“Were you sent by the lord of Tianhuan City?” the Lord of Hell asked in a deep voice after a while.
The lord of Tianhuan City? Bradd was stunned.
But it wasn’t surprising that the Lord of Hell thought so—peerless warriors usually stayed hidden; how could they possibly get involved in such trivial matters?
Hell beasts invading some cities near the edge of Hell on the Colin Continent was already considered normal by the gods of hell. Even the Supreme God didn’t intervene, which was why the Lord of Hell assumed Huang Long and the others were sent by the lord of Tianhuan City.
“Even if you were sent by the lord of Tianhuan City, do you really think you can stop us, the hell beasts, alone?” the Lord of Hell said coldly, staring at Bradd.
Stop them? Bradd shook his head.
“Kill them!” the Lord of Hell ordered again.
Just as he said, even if Bradd were a peerless warrior, he couldn’t halt the advance of the hell beast horde.
With another command from the Lord of Hell, a horde of billions of hell beasts surged toward Huang Long and the others.
Borg and the others watched the approaching horde not with fear but joy, their eyes glowing with a bloodthirsty light. They hadn’t gotten enough from the million demons they encountered when they first arrived in hell, and now they could finally have their wish.
Billions of hell beasts!
It took an hour to deal with a million demons—so how about these billions?!
One hundred hours? One thousand hours? A month?!
This would be a brutal battle!
Borg and the others were filled with fighting spirit, their blood boiling within them.
“Form a formation!” Huang Long ordered, staring at the advancing hell beasts.
“Yes, young master!”
“Yes, master!”
Borg and the others bowed respectfully, then rushed forward and stood in front of the Yellow Dragon. The twenty-five of them took up positions in twenty-five directions, forming a star palace pattern with the stars in the sky. Once they were in place, a glow appeared around each of them, and their star palace robes emerged, emitting intense starlight that filled the surrounding area for thousands of miles.
At the same time, Borg and the others drew out their immortal swords. The sword lights flickered, casting a cold glow, and a fierce killing intent spread throughout the surroundings.
Borg and the others’ transformation shocked the prison beasts and the gods.
“All of them are mid-tier gods?! But why do they possess such strong auras?!”
“They must be mid-tier gods. But what kind of laws are they practicing?!”
The starlight around Borg and the others sparked discussions among the gods in Tianhuan City.
Roar! Roar!
The killing intent from their sword lights only further enraged the prison beasts, which roared in response and charged at Borg and the others.
“Kill!” A cold glint appeared in Borg and the others’ eyes.
Instantly, the sword lights of the twenty-five immortal swords shone simultaneously, attacking in unison. The prison beasts that had been charging at them were pierced by the sword lights and fell to the ground. However, as they fell, they turned into countless beams of light and disappeared.
For a moment, an area of hundreds of thousands of miles around Borg and the others became a vacuum.
This attack by Borg and the others further unleashed the ferocity of the attacking prison beasts, which rushed at them in waves.
Seeing the second wave of prison beasts charging, Borg and the others drew out their twenty-five immortal swords once again, with their sword lights shining brightly, piercing through those beasts.
Wave after wave—under Borg and the others’ attacks, the prison beasts kept disappearing, only to be replaced by more, continuing endlessly.
Meanwhile, the Yellow Dragon and the people of the Huang family stood there, observing everything calmly.
At that time, the sounds of battle between Bradd and the leader of the prison beasts could be heard continuously. The dull explosions sounded like thunderclaps. The ground trembled, and even the powerful gods in Tianhuan City felt the vibrations in the space around them. The main god army guarding Tianhuan City also watched Bradd and Borg and the others intently.
“Who is that man?!”
“Could that peerless warrior fighting against the leader of the prison beasts be his subordinate?! And why are those twenty-five people so powerful?!”
After a while, many god-level warriors took their eyes off Bradd and Borg and the others and turned to look at the Yellow Dragon, who was standing with the people of the Huang family, guessing his identity.
However, regardless of the gods’ discussions and speculations, the fierce battle between Bradd and the others continued.
“Second brother, I, I…” As Bog and the others fought against the prison beasts, Huang Liang stood beside Huang Long, stammering hesitantly.
“What is it?” Huang Long asked with a smile.
Huang Liang wanted to say something—he naturally knew what.
“I… I also want to go,” Huang Liang said after hesitating for a moment.
The fierce battle between Bog and the others against the prison beasts kindled Huang Liang’s fighting spirit, making his heart burn with eagerness.
“Liang, stop being silly! Bog and the others are all mid-tier gods, far stronger than you. It’s too dangerous for you, a lower-tier god, to go,” Zhao Rong rushed to scold before Huang Long could speak.
Huang Liang was speechless. Though he was eager to go, it was precisely this reason that had made him hesitate earlier.
“Then let’s go,” Huang Long said then.
“Long, really?” Zhao Rong grew anxious, and Huang Xiong also showed concern.
“It’s fine,” Huang Long said, giving Zhao Rong and Huang Xiong reassuring looks. “With me here, as long as no supreme god arrives, everyone’s safety won’t be a problem.”
Huang Liang stepped forward, and Huang Wei, standing nearby, naturally didn’t want to fall behind.
In fact, Huang Long had his reasons for doing this. He couldn’t protect the Huang family members all the time. Moreover, over these days, after taking the Heavenly Pills and Immortal Pills he had refined, their strength had soared. Though they hadn’t yet reached the level of mid-tier gods, they were already no weaker than ordinary mid-tier gods. Among those prison beasts, aside from the Pit Lord, only a few were belonging to supreme gods. With Bog and the others protecting them, even without Huang Long intervening, Huang Liang and Huang Wei would be safe.
Huang Liang and Huang Wei, who had been sharpening their skills, rushed forward, wielding the immortal treasures given to them by Huang Long, and joined Bog and the others in fighting the prison beasts!
The sky gradually darkened.
Hours passed.
Yet even after hours of fighting by Bog and the others, the prison beasts kept pouring forward in waves—millions upon millions, showing no sign of slowing down.
And Brad and the Pit Lord were still locked in fierce battle.
The Pit Lord had long noticed the situation on Bog and the others’ side, and what he saw there left him utterly astonished.
Though Bog and the others were at the front, many prison beasts still swarmed into Tianhuan City from all directions. Thus, the city’s main god army, along with other powerful gods, also engaged in fierce battles against the beasts.
Over a dozen hours passed.
The sky gradually darkened.
“Retreat!” As darkness fell, the ruler of Hell, who had been at a disadvantage in the long battle against Brade, finally ordered a retreat. After that order was given, the hellish beasts, which had been fighting fiercely against the godly warriors, stopped fighting and retreated like a tide. Before long, the horde of hellish beasts disappeared without a trace. Many godly warriors were stunned by these changes. “Young master, shall we go?” Brade flew back to the Yellow Dragon and asked. At that moment, Bog and the others also returned to the Yellow Dragon’s side. “There’s no need to chase them,” the Yellow Dragon said, waving his hand. Seeing this, the others did not dare say more and respectfully agreed. “My lords, I am the commander of the main army of Tianhuan City. I thank you both for your assistance,” said a commander of Tianhuan City’s main army, flying over and speaking respectfully to the Yellow Dragon and Brade. “You’re too kind,” the Yellow Dragon replied. “Did our city lord invite these two lords?” the commander asked cautiously. Like the ruler of Hell, he mistakenly thought that the Yellow Dragon and the others were sent by the city lord of Tianhuan City. The Yellow Dragon smiled, shook his head, and then said to everyone, “Let’s go.” Bog and the others respectfully agreed and followed the Yellow Dragon as they flew away. Naturally, the Yellow Dragon and the others would not return to Tianhuan City. “Young master, shall we head straight to the capital of the Buji Family now?” Bog asked. The Yellow Dragon nodded. With nothing else to do, they naturally needed to go to the capital of the Buji Family to borrow the Soul Calming Stone from its lord. Before long, the Yellow Dragon and the others arrived at the capital of the Buji Family. That day, the lord of the Buji Family, Terry, was sitting in meditation when he suddenly opened his eyes and vanished from his spot. “Who are you? What brings you here?” Terry frowned as he looked at the Yellow Dragon and Brade. “We’d like to borrow something from the lord of the Buji Family,” the Yellow Dragon said calmly. “Borrow something? What is it?” Terry’s expression darkened as he guessed what the Yellow Dragon wanted to borrow. “The Soul Calming Stone,” the Yellow Dragon replied slowly. As expected! Terry thought to himself. Ever since he obtained the Soul Calming Stone, countless family heads and peerless warriors had come to him over the millennia, asking to borrow it. “Hmph, please leave!” Terry’s face turned cold upon hearing that the Yellow Dragon and the others were there for the Soul Calming Stone, and he ordered them to leave.
“Lord of this mansion, please have mercy. We truly need this Soul Calming Stone urgently. We’ll borrow it for a few days and return it to you later,” Zhao Rong said anxiously as she saw Wu Rui, the lord of Buji Mansion, about to leave.
