Chapter 0534: Who Are You People?
Before Long Yi could speak, a figure flashed before his eyes. Immediately afterward, he was struck hard in the chest, feeling intense pain as he was flung backward and landed on the rocks by the shore.
After tens of thousands of years of effort, Long Yi had reached the rank of Mid-Level God, but he was no match for Gerald’s Higher-Level God strength and was easily defeated.
“Brother Long Yi!” Seeing the sudden change, Maki reacted quickly, cried out in pain, and rushed to Long Yi’s side, her face filled with tears. “Brother Long Yi, how are you?”
Long Yi stood up, trembling. Severe pain radiated from within his body, as if his internal organs had been overturned.
“I’m fine,” Long Yi said, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth and offering Maki a reassuring smile.
Huh! Gerald was surprised to see Long Yi still able to stand up after taking his strike. Normally, a mere Mid-Level God should have been severely injured and unable to even get up without invoking divine armor to protect himself!
A glint appeared in Gerald’s eyes.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect a lowly Mid-Level God to have such strong innate defense!” Gerald slowly approached, sneering.
In fact, the reason behind Long Yi’s strong innate defense was not only due to the pills consumed from the Yellow Dragon but also because the Yellow Dragon had taught him a technique for tempering his divine body. Although ten thousand years had passed and he was still only at the initial stage of this technique, his innate defense was much stronger than that of peers at the same level.
“Gerald, stop! This is our Sak family’s territory. How dare you harm one of our family members!” Maki, though delicate, angrily spoke to Gerald.
“Family members?” Gerald didn’t stop moving. Pointing at Long Yi, he said mockingly, “Do you mean this wretched slave?”
Although Long Yi was a member of the Sak family’s guard team, the status of an external-level divine warrior was vastly different from that of internal-level divine warriors within the Sak family. Put nicely, he was a guard of the Sak family; put bluntly, he was just a slave!
This was also why Gerald didn’t hesitate to kill Long Yi. Just a slave—death wouldn’t matter.
Maki’s face turned red and white with anger.
“Maki, go first!” Long Yi pulled her back.
“No, I won’t leave!” Maki was resolute. She knew that if she left, she might never see him again.
Seeing that Maki wouldn’t leave, Long Yi felt both joy and urgency.
“Leave? Hehe, don’t worry—none of you can get away.” Gerard sneered, looking at Maki. “I’m going to let you watch with your own eyes as I kill this man!” With that, he flashed into sight in front of Long Yi and the others. His hands moved swiftly, instantly restraining Maki while knocking Long Yi flying.
Maki stood there, unable to move, tears streaming as she watched Long Yi crash to the ground.
After knocking Long Yi away again, Gerard wasn’t in a hurry to act. Instead, he stepped in front of Maki, lifted her tearful face with his hands, and forced her to look at him. “I just realized now—you look even more beautiful when crying than when smiling!” he said, then grinned. “Since you like crying so much, I’ll make sure you cry your heart out later!”
At that moment, Gerard turned to the two high-ranking divine guards behind him and ordered, “Treat this wretch well—use your best methods.”
The two guards understood immediately, bowed respectfully, and turned toward Long Yi with sneering smiles. This kid dared to touch their master’s woman—how dare he be so insolent!
They flashed forward in an instant and reached for Long Yi. He tried to dodge, but the injury in his body caused him to stumble. One of them hit him, sending him crashing to the ground again, covered in blood.
Maki cried, “No! Stop! Please stop!”
Since this was a remote island coast, no other godly warriors were alerted.
Hearing this, the two guards became even more brutal. Seeing this, Gerard laughed even louder. The more pain he could inflict on this woman who had betrayed him, the happier he felt.
“Don’t worry. Once you marry me and I get tired of you, I’ll send you and that wretch to meet each other in the Hellish Realm of Death!” Gerard whispered in Maki’s ear with a sinister smile, then inhaled deeply her scent. “The scent of a virgin… truly tempting.”
Maki was filled with anger and shame.
Although she and Long Yi were in love, they had always kept things in check.
Though Long Yi didn’t know what Gerard had said to Maki, he could tell from her angry and ashamed expression that it wasn’t kind words.
“Gerard, let Maki go!” Long Yi shouted angrily, though his speech was slurred due to his injuries.
“Let Maki go?” Gerard laughed heartily. “Don’t worry—Maki is my fiancée. I’m not going to hurt her yet!”
Furious, Long Yi was hit by another divine guard and flew backward.
After a while, under the torment of the two opponents, Long Yi lay sprawled on the ground, barely alive. At that moment, the two elite divine guards stopped at Gerard’s signal. Gerard slowly approached Long Yi and looked down at him from above.
…
“Big brother, I heard that Ofei Island is the largest island in the waters near the Abyssal Sea?!” Huang Yi said as they walked along the bustling streets of Ofei Island, glancing around.
Huang Long smiled. “That’s right!”
Originally, Huang Long had planned to head straight to the depths of the Abyssal Sea, but when passing through the coastal waters, Huang Yi insisted on visiting Ofei Island. Huang Long had no choice but to agree to stay for a day—after all, they weren’t in a hurry. Although he knew that the Seven-Color Coiling Dragon was one of the ten kings who ruled over parts of the Abyssal Sea, he didn’t know much about it. So, he took the opportunity to gather more information about the Abyssal Sea on Ofei Island.
“Is there any fighting arena on Ofei Island?” Huang Liang asked.
Ten thousand years had passed, and everyone’s strength had greatly increased, but the Huang family hadn’t had a chance to fight yet. Naturally, Huang Liang wanted to find an opportunity to test his current strength.
“Great! Third brother, let’s see who can become the champion with a hundred consecutive victories!” Huang Yi’s eyes lit up as she clapped her hands in delight.
Huang Long shook his head with a smile—those two kids!
But after Huang Liang mentioned it, Huang Long instantly spread his divine sense across the entire island to check for any fighting arenas.
“Huh!” Huang Long exclaimed in surprise when he sensed something.
“Long Er, what’s wrong?” Zhao Rong asked upon seeing Huang Long’s reaction.
Huang Long replied, “Let’s go. We need to meet an old friend.”
An old friend? Zhao Rong and the others were puzzled.
Without saying another word, Huang Long enveloped them in his immortal energy and they vanished from their original location. When they reappeared, they found themselves on a coastline of the island.
“Is that… Long Yi?!” The group scanned the surroundings, and Huang Xiong suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed. Bradd, Yamo, Wayne, and the others didn’t know who Long Yi was, but when Bog and the others heard Huang Long’s shout, they all turned to look, their faces filled with surprise.
“Long Yi! It really is Long Yi!” Zhao Rong also exclaimed in delight.
The group rushed over to Long Yi’s side.
Just as Gerard was about to finish off this slave before him, he heard the shout and froze. Then, in an instant, dozens of people appeared.
Geral didn’t dare to act for a moment, and the two higher gods guarding him behind him also exchanged glances, too afraid to move. It seemed that everyone before them were higher gods?! They couldn’t gauge each other’s strength!
“Long Yi, how are you?!” Bog came to Long Yi’s side and helped him up. By then, Long Yi was barely alive, his eyes half-closed, unable to see who was approaching. He only sensed that the voice calling out sounded so familiar. Could it be Bog?! Long Yi mocked himself inwardly—was this a hallucination before death?! Then, he lost consciousness.
Seeing this, Bog quickly made Long Yi swallow an elixir and infused divine power to protect his heart meridians. Then he said, “Young master, Long Yi is seriously injured and has fainted!”
Huang Long frowned, then turned to look at Geral along with the others. Though he didn’t know exactly what had happened, it was clear that Long Yi had been hurt by them.
“Speak!” Huang Long said slowly, staring at them.
Although Geral could see that Huang Long and the others were extraordinary, he wasn’t panicked. After all, this was Ofei Island—no one dared to lay a hand on the descendants of the Gabli family here!
“Who are you people?” Geral didn’t answer. Instead, he snapped, “This is a matter of my Gabli family. Don’t blame me for warning you—it’s best if you stay out of it, or else you won’t be able to leave Ofei Island!”
As soon as Geral finished speaking, everyone except Huang Long burst into laughter.
Huang Long remained indifferent.
Seeing everyone laughing mockingly, Geral grew even angrier. They actually didn’t take the Gabli family seriously!
At that moment, with Bog and the others’ help, Long Yi slowly regained consciousness. Seeing the familiar faces of Bog and the others, he stood there stunned, unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality.
When Geral saw Long Yi wake up, his eyes flashed with cold light. Then he took out a jade stone and sent a message back to his family. After sending the message, Geral felt reassured. With a cold smile, he believed that strong members of the Gabli family would arrive in no time.
“Long Yi, what’s going on?” As Long Yi was still stunned at seeing Bog and the others, Huang Long’s voice came through. Hearing Huang Long’s voice, Long Yi’s body trembled violently. Turning around and confirming it was indeed Huang Long, he became overjoyed, tears welling up in his eyes: “You… you really are here?!”
He still couldn’t be sure if it was real!
“I ask you, you wretched lackey, how dare you be so bold? It turns out you’re relying on someone backing you up!” Geral snapped coldly, interrupting Long Yi.
But as soon as Geral finished speaking, he was suddenly struck in the face by a palm, sending him flying.
