Chapter 0161: Not Satisfied Enough

Following Daina’s orders, Devitt pursued them with great effort and finally caught up with Zhao Yang and his group. How could he let them escape? He swung his great sword, creating a burst of sword light thatspinning instantaneously arrived in front of Zhao Yang and his companions. Startled, they immediately launched attacks.

The sword light was broken, but this delay allowed Devitt and his men to close in and surround Zhao Yang and his group.

“Zhao Yang, I told you before—you can’t escape! Want to flee to the Kingdom of Lutong? Hmph, now, better surrender right away!” Devitt sneered coldly.

Zhao Yang and his companions looked grim. Zhao Yang’s eyes turned icy: “That wretched Daina! If I get away, I’ll make her pay ten times over!”

“Hehe, escape? Zhao Yang, Lady Daina ordered that none of you may escape. We’ll wipe you out completely, leaving no evidence—even Huang Long won’t be able to prove it was us.” Devitt laughed mockingly.

In fact, if he had known that Huang Long had already discovered it was Daina who had done this, he wouldn’t have thought like this.

“Kill them!” After saying that, Devitt waved his hand at his subordinates.

All around, they responded and attacked Zhao Yang and his group.

The members of the Swift Wind Mercenary Group’s faces changed as they stepped forward to protect Zhao Yang and his companions, shouting, “Old Master Zhao Yang, team leader, run! Once you reach the Huang family, avenge us later!” With all their might, they attacked Devitt and his men, determined to protect Zhao Yang and his group at the cost of their lives.

Zhao Yang knew now was not the time for hesitation. Gritting his teeth, he ordered Zhao Tian and the others, “Let’s go!”

But just as they moved, a figure flashed before them—Devitt stood in their way.

“Tidal Fist!”

Seeing this, Zhao Yang roared, unleashing his combat energy and throwing a powerful punch. The wind generated by the punch surged forward like a tide.

This was a heavenly-grade combat skill passed down through the Zhao family. Zhao Yang had integrated it with the water element law.

Devitt was also surprised. He swung his great sword, shouting, “Windless Sword!” A blade of light shot out, but as it cut through space, it didn’t stir even a hint of wind. The Windless Sword was a sword based on the wind element law.

As the fist and sword collided, a continuous buzzing sound filled the air.

At that moment, Zhao Tian, Zhao Shou, Zhao Ying, and the others were also blocked by several level-9 warriors, engaged in fierce combat.

But with the lesson from last time, the power that Devitt brought this time was much stronger. So, it wasn’t long before the members of the Swift Wind Mercenary Group began screaming in agony one after another, only to fall silent forever.

This time, everything happened suddenly. Zhao Tian was only accompanied by a few close comrades from the Swift Wind Mercenary Group, so his forces were weak. It was precisely this weakness that Devitt took advantage of, daring to vow to kill all of Zhao Yang’s group.

Hearing the continuous screams around him, Zhao Tian’s eyes turned blood-red. Like a wild beast, he roared incessantly.

Over the decades, these men had fought side by side with him through countless battles and hardships. Who would have thought they would all perish here forever?

“Huzi!” Zhao Tian screamed sharply when he saw a burly man fall beside him. After that scream, his attacks became even more frenzied.

Yet his opponents were two high-level ninth-grade warriors. No matter how hard Zhao Tian attacked, he couldn’t break through.

The same was true for Zhao Yang, Zhao Shou, and Zhao Ying. If it weren’t for the armor and magic swords given to them by Huang Long earlier, they would have already met the same fate as the members of the Swift Wind Mercenary Group.

Still, if things continued like this, they would eventually be defeated and captured.

It wasn’t long before Zhao Ying, the little witch, was forced to retreat under the attack of two seventh-grade warriors, her situation extremely precarious.

“Ying’er!” Zhao Shou grew anxious upon seeing his daughter’s plight. But as he tried to go rescue her, he was trapped by the two ninth-grade warriors and couldn’t free himself.

“Hehe, this little girl isn’t bad. She seems to still be a virgin. Lord Devitt, how about keeping her for yourself first? You can kill her after you’ve enjoyed her!” said one of the seventh-grade warriors, laughing lasciviously as he attacked Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying’s face turned red, while Zhao Yang and the others were filled with anger. Especially Zhao Shou, who roared, “Damn you, kid! Say that again, and I’ll slash you with my sword!”

Zhao Tian had a violent temper, while Zhao Shou, the head of the Zhao family, was usually gentle. His fierce shouting now showed just how much he cherished his daughter Zhao Ying. If not for being trapped, he would have already attacked and torn that seventh-grade warrior to pieces.

“Hehe, so it’s the Zhao family head. You want to slash me? Hehe, what? If your precious daughter can be enjoyed by Lord Devitt, it means he values you. If it weren’t for her being a virgin, Lord Devitt wouldn’t even bother,” said the seventh-grade warrior, then said obsequiously to Devitt, who was fighting Zhao Yang, “Lord Devitt, don’t you agree?”

Devitt pushed Zhao Yang back with a sword strike, glanced at Zhao Ying, his eyes gleaming, and said with a smile, “Well said. I like it!”

“This woman looks pretty fresh, but sadly too young—not enough to satisfy my desires!”
The people around them burst into laughter.
The laughter echoed far and wide, sounding especially harsh in the ears of the Zhao family members.
This time, even Zhao Yang couldn’t help but grow angry: “Devit, I’ll kill you!” With that, he swung his heavy sword, sending out a flurry of ice spears.
“Kill me? Hehe, let’s see who kills whom!” Devit sneered in response, slashing with his sword to create a shield that blocked all of Zhao Yang’s attacks. Then, with a quick twist, he appeared above Zhao Yang and brought his sword down in a fierce strike.
In fact, since he hadn’t been able to defeat Zhao Yang earlier, he had only tried to provoke him, making him lose his composure so he could take advantage and capture him.
Sure enough, this tactic worked.
“Zhao Yang, die!” Devit sneered. “Now, even if the Yellow Dragon shows up, he won’t be able to save you!”
Just then, a surprised voice came from the sky: “Huh? The Yellow Dragon?” Immediately afterward, everyone saw a figure appear in a flash—someone who used just two fingers to catch Devit’s sword as it was swung down at Zhao Yang!
Caught between two fingers!
Everyone knew Devit’s strength—he was at the middle level of the Sacred Realm. Even with his full power, it was unlikely that even the stronger ones at the higher levels of the Sacred Realm could do such a thing. Perhaps only the strongest among them could!
This strange phenomenon shocked everyone present. When they saw that the person was young, some who didn’t know the Yellow Dragon thought it was him. After recognizing the person’s face, Devit blurted out, “Who is this senior?”
He couldn’t think of any other powerful figure on the Eternal Yuan Continent whose face looked so young, aside from the Yellow Dragon and the Dragon Emperor.
Zhao Yang and the others also looked puzzled.
“Me?” The young man flashed a charming smile. “Of course, I’m the one who’s going to kill you!”
Devit and the others’ faces turned pale as they hurriedly said, “Senior, we’re from the Snowstorm Empire’s palace.”
Just as Devit and the others thought that revealing their affiliation with the Snowstorm Empire would make the other person leave, the latter smiled broadly. “The Snowstorm Empire? I’m here to kill exactly those from your empire!” With that, he lightly flicked Devit’s sword, causing it to break into countless pieces. Devit was sent flying backward, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
The others who had followed Devit were terrified and tried to flee.
“Flee?” The young man gave them a mocking look before extending his palm. “Absolute Domain!”
A terrifying force emerged from his hands, freezing the surrounding space. All of Devit’s subordinates who tried to escape froze in place.

Absolute Domain?! When Zhao Yang and the others heard the young man’s soft exclamation, their bodies trembled violently. They widened their eyes in disbelief as they stared at him, while Detvet, who was lying severely injured on the ground, was filled with shock as well.
The Absolute Domain— the domain of a godly powerhouse!
This young man was actually a godly powerhouse!
Earlier, Detvet had thought he was merely a peak Saint Realm warrior.
“Godly Realm, Godly Realm!” Detvet murmured to himself.
At that moment, Detvet’s subordinates froze in place. As the young man clenched his hand gently, everyone seemed to be struck by some force— their bodies disintegrated into nothingness, vanishing as if they had entered another dimension.
Was this a god?! With just a wave of his hand, he could make everything disappear!
In the eyes of the people of the Hengyuan Continent, a godly powerhouse was equivalent to a god.
Zhao Yang and the others were stunned, so shocked that they forgot to pay their respects.
Peak Saint Realm warriors were revered by everyone, but a god— someone even beyond peak Saint Realm was worthy of reverence.
A god was a transcendent being.
After doing all this, the young man turned to Zhao Yang and the others with a calm smile: “Leave this man to you to deal with.” He was referring to Detvet, who was lying severely injured on the ground.
Hearing that this godly powerhouse intended to leave him at their mercy, Detvet’s face turned deathly pale.
It was then that Zhao Yang and the others finally realized what had happened. Filled with panic, they became extremely respectful and thanked him repeatedly.
Yet, they were also puzzled about why this godly elder had saved them. They certainly didn’t think it was just a simple act of kindness encountered by chance.
“I belong to the World Alliance!” Seeing their confusion, the young man smiled calmly.
The World Alliance! Immediately, Zhao Yang and the others realized the young man’s identity and why he had intervened.
It was no secret that the World Alliance had destroyed the palace of the Dragon Language Empire and allied itself with Huang Long. And the identity of this young man was obvious—he was the one behind the World Alliance.
Indeed, it was Long Yi!
After destroying the palace of the Dragon Language Empire, Long Yi was on his way to the Huang family to discuss matters with Huang Long. Unexpectedly, he encountered Zhao Yang and the others who were being pursued. Initially, he didn’t want to get involved, but after hearing Detvet’s words and guessing their identities, he decided to intervene.
In fact, eight months earlier, at the auction in the Lu Tong Kingdom, Zhao Yang and the others had seen Long Yi once. But back then, Long Yi had changed his appearance, so they didn’t recognize him.
Now that they knew his identity and why he had saved them, Zhao Yang and the others felt greatly relieved, their faces filled with joy.

After apologizing to Long Yi, Zhao Yang, Zhao Shou, Zhao Tian, and Zhao Ying approached Devitt with murderous intent on their faces.
