Chapter 0472: The One Who Will Take Your Life

“You!” The prison beast commander of Tianhuan City glared fiercely.
“Hehe, Qibu, though the Rebirth Stone is important, it can’t compare to the life of your daughter, right? I give you three months. If you don’t hand over the Rebirth Stone by then, I can’t guarantee what might happen to your daughter,” sneered the prison beast commander known as Mackey. With that, he prepared to fly away.
In a flash, Qibu blocked his path, his face filled with murderous intent as he spoke in a deep voice, “Hand over my daughter!”
“Hehe, what? Want to keep me? Qibu, do you really have the ability?” Mackey sneered before vanishing in a flash, leaving only ripples in space.
Qibu roared and struck, but his blow hit nothing but air.
With a loud explosion, the ground trembled violently after absorbing his attack, forming a huge crater. All living things were reduced to dust, and sand flew everywhere.
“Mackey, come out!” Qibu roared.
But where was Mackey?
“Come out!” Unwilling to give up, Qibu kept roaring and searched everywhere like a headless fly. Failing to find him, he unleashed furious attacks, disrupting the surrounding space, sending sand and stones flying and causing the lake to vanish.
After a while, everything calmed down.
Qibu hovered in midair, his expression dark.
“We can help you find Mackey,” a voice suddenly said.
“Who?! Show yourself!” Qibu was shocked and turned around warily. Under his astonished gaze, Huang Long and Brade appeared.
“It’s you!” Qibu exclaimed upon seeing them.
He naturally remembered Huang Long and Brade. He remembered even more the battle between Tianhuan City and Brade. Though he hadn’t lost to Brade in that battle, Brade’s overwhelming strength had left a deep impression on him.
“What did you mean by that just now?” After being startled, Qibu regained his cold composure, raising his spiritual power as he watched Huang Long and Brade warily.
“Our young master says we can help you find Mackey,” Brade said.
“Young master?!” Qibu turned to look at Huang Long, his eyes widening.
He was well aware of Brade’s strength, but for such an unparalleled warrior to submit to someone else and acknowledge them as their master—what was this person’s identity?
During the battle in Tianhuan City, Huang Long hadn’t intervened, so he couldn’t determine Huang Long’s true strength.

“Find Mackey? Hmph, just based on your words? That Mackey practices wind-based laws. If he hides, it’s impossible to find him unless he becomes a supreme god of perfect mastery.” Qibu said in a deep voice, clearly not believing Huang Long and Bradd.

“What if we help you find that Mackey?” Huang Long spoke up at that moment.

“Find Mackey?” Qibu stared at Huang Long, frowning.

Huang Long and his companion repeatedly claimed they could help him find Mackey, which made him wonder if they might truly be able to do so.

“You’d be so kind as to help me find Mackey?” Qibu sneered. “So kind? Tell me, what’s your motive?”

Would Huang Long and Bradd help him find Mackey for no reason? Just because of a brief encounter in Tianhuan City? Back then, they were still enemies.

“I heard from Mackey that you have the Reincarnation Stone,” Huang Long said.

“Hmph, so you’re after that Reincarnation Stone too!” Qibu snorted coldly and laughed. He knew things weren’t that simple; those two couldn’t possibly be so kind.

Bradd frowned, his eyes flashing with determination as he was about to speak. Huang Long raised his hand to signal him to calm down before saying thoughtfully, “We can help you find Mackey and even rescue your daughter. If necessary, we can kill Mackey for you. We don’t need the Reincarnation Stone, but I want to know how you got it and where.”

After hearing Huang Long’s words, Qibu looked at him in shock. “Kill Mackey?”

Huang Long and his companion said they could find Mackey—perhaps they really had a way. He believed them, but killing an unparalleled warrior seemed hard to believe.

Even if the three of them joined forces, killing Mackey would be impossible.

Unless a supreme god of perfect mastery stepped in, trying to kill Mackey was nothing but a joke.

“Exactly,” Huang Long said.

Qibu sneered, “Do you really have that strength? Why should I believe you?” But just as his words faded, suddenly, a figure flashed, and an overwhelming force struck.

Qibu was shocked. His body emitted light as it swirled erratically like a whirlwind.

But as he tried to retreat, a golden light rushed toward him. Qibu felt a sharp pain in his chest, his body jolted violently, and he was sent flying backward.

When Qibu stopped moving, he looked up at Huang Long in horror.

Just now, Huang Long’s attack was so fast that he couldn’t even react in time.

When Brad saw the Yellow Dragon strike and hit Qibu, he was also shocked. After all, although his strength was greater than Qibu’s, it wasn’t by much. In Tianhuan City, he had failed to defeat Qibu after prolonged battles, yet now the Yellow Dragon had struck the opponent in the blink of an eye. If the Yellow Dragon hadn’t held back earlier, it was uncertain whether Qibu could still stand there as he did now.

The Yellow Dragon slowly asked, “So?”

After breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage at Bingjing Lake, the Yellow Dragon’s primal dragon form had advanced from the initial stage to the intermediate stage, making its strength, speed, and defense far beyond those of ordinary peerless warriors.

Even though Qibu was a prison beast, his speed and strength were still far inferior to those of the Yellow Dragon.

Qibu’s expression was one of doubt. Finally, he said in a solemn voice, “I’ll trust you for now, but to be honest, I don’t have the Rebirth Stone!”

“What? No?!” Not only Brad but also the Yellow Dragon was shocked. The two of them had planned to help because they had heard Mackie say that Qibu possessed the Rebirth Stone. If Qibu claimed not to have it now, wouldn’t their efforts be in vain?

However, just as the two showed disappointment, Qibu added, “But I know where the Rebirth Stone is.”

The originally disappointed Yellow Dragon and Brad were immediately delighted upon hearing this.

“I can take you there later, of course, on the condition that you help me rescue my daughter and kill Mackie,” Qibu said.

“That’s natural,” the Yellow Dragon replied.

“But obtaining the Rebirth Stone will be quite difficult. Whether you can get it or not is none of my concern. I’m just informing you in advance,” Qibu added after hesitating for a moment.

“That’s no problem. Whether we can get it or not is our concern, not yours,” the Yellow Dragon said.

Thus, the Yellow Dragon and Brad took Qibu and flew southward.

The Yellow Dragon was confident he could find Mackie because during their earlier battle, Mackie had left, and the Yellow Dragon had left a spiritual imprint on him. So no matter where Mackie went, he couldn’t escape the Yellow Dragon’s spiritual detection.

Before long, the three of them arrived in front of a lake.

Qibu followed Huang Long and Brade to this lake. Upon arriving, he frowned. What was Huang Long doing here? In his perception, this was just an ordinary lake. But as soon as he thought this, suddenly Huang Long slapped the lake with his right hand. Under his strike, the seemingly ordinary lake began to ripple. Then, a flash of light appeared in space, and the scene before them changed drastically—groups of palaces appeared.

“A formation illusion?!” Qibu exclaimed in shock at what he saw.

“Exactly,” Huang Long replied slowly.

Qibu fell silent. Now he finally understood why he had never been able to find Mackie. It turned out Mackie possessed the ability to create formation illusions. The lake earlier had been so deceptive that even he couldn’t detect anything amiss. If not for Huang Long breaking through the illusion, he really wouldn’t have noticed.

But how did Huang Long detect the formation illusion? Qibu began to speculate about Huang Long once again.

“Let’s go!” Huang Long said, then took off and headed toward the palace complex.

Brade followed closely behind. Seeing this, Qibu put aside his shock and doubts and followed Huang Long and Brade into the palace complex.

Inside, Huang Long spread his divine sense and instantly located Mackie. He then said to Brade, “You go with him to find his daughter. Leave Mackie to me.”

“Yes, young master,” Brade replied respectfully.

After that, the three of them separated to carry out their tasks.

Mackie was in front of his palace’s main hall, enjoying the dance of the human goddess he had captured, clapping and laughing. “Good, good, hahaha.” He was in high spirits, thinking that if Qibu handed over the Rebirth Stone, he could use it to cultivate and perhaps even reach a state of perfect mastery.

The Rebirth Stone—what a treasure of the underworld’s cycle!

“Once I get that Rebirth Stone, hehe, I’ll take my time enjoying that guy Qibu’s daughter’s body,” Mackie mused with a smile.

“Fearfully, you’ll never get that chance!” Suddenly, a voice appeared out of nowhere.

“Who?!” Mackie was shocked, standing up from his throne, his eyes gleaming.

Under Mackie’s gaze, Huang Long’s figure gradually appeared in the hall.

Watching Huang Long slowly walk into the hall, Mackie’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning serious. “Who are you?” The fact that Huang Long could break through his formation illusion and enter here, appearing in the hall without him even noticing, filled Mackie with unease.

“The one who will take your life!” Huang Long said slowly, staring at Mackey. Then he leaped into the air, his entire body glowing like a sharp sword slicing through the sky, arriving instantly in front of Mackey.
Mackey was shocked. As he tried to take off, the sword’s light flashed and slashed down on his throne. The throne and the countless palaces behind it shattered into pieces, collapsing in a storm of debris.
