Chapter 0305: Are You Huang Long?
Just as Limo had torn open a gap in the grand formation, to his surprise, the previously vanished dark blue sword light reappeared. A fierce killing intent emanated from that light, locking onto the space around him.
“It’s finally here!” After being shocked, Limo’s eyes filled with intense killing intent. The divine light above his head illuminated the world, as if light were descending from the heavens.
Boom!
The dark blue sword light struck that beam of light, causing a loud explosion. Limo was forced to retreat. Ahead of him, gradually, the figure of a young man with black hair appeared.
Was this the mysterious person hired by Huang Long to assassinate two of his subordinates from hiding?
“A mid-tier god?!” But to Limo’s astonishment, the other party seemed like an ordinary mid-tier god, with strength only at an intermediate level?!
“You’re the one hired by Huang Long?!” After being surprised, Limo felt relieved and sneered coldly.
Since he had never met Huang Long, he didn’t recognize him.
“You, Huang Long?!” As soon as Limo spoke, Hebrew, who had arrived from behind, was shocked upon seeing Huang Long.
“What? Huang Long?!” Limo was stunned and then stared in shock at the young man with black hair.
Was this Huang Long?!
A top-tier flying artifact? Complex formation spells? Possibly an beast master? And Hebrew had said before that he was also a soul master?!
A mid-tier god in the vast Netherworld was like a grain of sand, but once adorned with so many auras, this tiny grain would become like a star, emitting a stunning light.
Then, Limo thought of the mysterious person who had been hiding and assassinating his eight eight-winged subordinates. Was this Huang Long that person? The same individual!
Hebrew was even more shocked. Although he had tried his best over the past two years to uncover all of Huang Long’s secrets, he now realized that what he knew before was far from enough. He had always thought that the mysterious person who had assassinated the five mid-tier gods on his Ice Jade Peak two years ago was some powerful warrior hired by Huang Long. He never expected it to be Huang Long himself.
But when did Huang Long return from the Ancient Forest?!
“So that’s how it is?” Hebrew remembered Elviro’s words from Side Blade Peak. Did that mean Huang Long really did those things to Iron Blood Peak?
“You’re Huang Long?” After being shocked, Limo stared at Huang Long with a strange expression. Though he hid his feelings well, his eyes revealed a blazing intensity from deep within.
To Limo, Huang Long was nothing short of a rare treasure—his entire future depended on him.
Huang Long saw clearly through Limo’s thoughts and sneered inwardly. However, Limo was quite strong, and with his current level of cultivation, he really couldn’t hold him back. Hebrew stood beside Limo, forming a confrontation with Huang Long. Limo and Hebrew unleashed their divine essences, their divine powers surging intensely. To their surprise, Huang Long did not summon his divine essence either—instead, a dark golden symbol resembling lightning appeared between his brows. This symbol emitted a dark golden light that blocked their divine essences and powers. “What is this?!” Limo and Hebrew were shocked. They had never heard of a god-tier powerhouse possessing such a symbol. Though they didn’t know what it was, they vaguely felt it was similar to a god-tier powerhouse’s divine essence. Yet, with Huang Long’s status as a mid-tier god, the power emitted by this symbol being able to block their divine essences meant something—its rank was higher than theirs. It was like a peak mid-tier Chaos Primordial Beast being able to rival or even kill an upper-tier Ancient Primordial Beast. The two had different starting ranks from the beginning. Limo and Hebrew exchanged a glance, then moved. In an instant, only two afterimages remained where they stood—two sharp sword lights, one white and one green, flashing by in a flash. Unlike Hebrew’s attack, Limo’s did not carry any intent to kill. Of course, Huang Long and Limo wouldn’t kill him either. If Huang Long died, the secrets on him would be lost. So when he saw the killing intent in Hebrew’s sword, Limo frowned. But just as the two thought they could severely injure Huang Long with a single strike, Huang Long disappeared again. Limo and Hebrew were astonished. Then, they simultaneously unleashed their divine flames, spreading them to burn everything in the surrounding space. Even more anxious, Limo grabbed his Angel Sword and attacked in all directions, trying to force Huang Long to reveal himself. But just like before, when Huang Long had used his Sword of Slaying Immortals to kill those eight eight-winged angels before disappearing, Huang Long was still nowhere to be seen. The two grew extremely anxious. At that moment, a fierce roar suddenly came from behind them. Their minds buzzed as they turned around in shock. Thousands of miles behind them, under the attacks of over a thousand mutated primordial beasts, 38 mid-tier gods from Taiyi Peak, and more than ten thousand lower-tier gods, the people of Bingyu Peak were falling one after another. In just a short while, three to four thousand people had perished! In the sky, the number of people from Bingyu Peak facing those from Taiyi Peak had already decreased significantly compared to before. Hebrew roared in anger and fury, “Retreat!”
Unlike the previous sudden retreat ordered due to over a thousand mutated beasts launching soul attacks, that was an act of evasion. But now, Hebrew’s order to retreat meant returning to Ice Jade Peak. Hebrew could no longer focus on killing the Yellow Dragon, and moreover, the Yellow Dragon was the mysterious assassin—realizing this, Hebrew understood that even with Limo’s help, killing the Yellow Dragon would be difficult. After all, the Yellow Dragon’s elusive hiding techniques were beyond even their control. Yet, trapped within the Two Great Arrays— the Twelve Heavenly Fiend Arrays and the Cosmic Star Arrays—how could the people of Ice Jade Peak easily retreat? The true forms of the Twelve Ancestral Witches appeared, roaring and launching soul attacks, while the Cosmic Star Arrays emitted waves of star energy, overwhelming them. The people of Ice Jade Peak fled in all directions, only for the attacks from Taiyi Peak to arrive again. In shock, Hebrew turned back once more, but against Taiyi Peak’s fierce assaults, his attempts to rescue them were futile. What angered him even more was the Yellow Dragon—each time it appeared, flashes of dark blue sword light would send screams through the air. The number of his subordinates at Ice Jade Peak kept decreasing. Seeing this, Limo shook his head and turned to leave. He wasn’t Hebrew; the fate of Ice Jade Peak’s people had nothing to do with him. As for those eight winged angels, if they died, so be it. “Yellow Dragon, I won’t let you get away!” As Limo vanished as a streak of white light, Hebrew glanced at Feni and the others trapped under Taiyi Peak’s siege, then resolved to leave. Turning into a streak of green light, he followed Limo closely, cursing before departing. Hebrew’s fury echoed among the mountains surrounding Taiyi Peak. The Yellow Dragon hesitated for a moment before waving his hands, bringing over a thousand mutated beasts to the Immortal Pavilion. Rising on clouds, it chased after them. With those over a thousand mutated beasts, along with the Sword of Cutting Immortals and the Five Elements Immortal Flight Technique, the Yellow Dragon could easily defend itself against Limo and Hebrew. As for Ice Jade Peak, without those beasts, combined with Taiyi Peak’s forces and the Two Great Arrays, they would be enough to defeat the people of Ice Jade Peak—the outcome was settled! Seeing the Yellow Dragon approaching, Limo had an idea and sent a message to Hebrew. Though his face showed resentment, Hebrew endured it after hearing Limo’s message and nodded silently. The two communicated via telepathy, but the Yellow Dragon heard everything clearly—their plan was to lure it to a certain place and then surround it to capture it. It sneered inwardly.
In front of everyone, Huang Long had not yet summoned the Tree of the Netherworld, fearing that revealing his possession of it would expose his secret. After all, the Tree of the Netherworld was extremely powerful—it devoured divine essences and physical forms, converting pure energy for its own use, and even the supreme gods of various factions would likely be envious of it. But in a secluded place, things were different. There, he could summon the Tree of the Netherworld. Both of them being supreme gods, divine essences would be an invaluable asset. However, Huang Long’s strength was vastly inferior to theirs, so he needed to find the right opportunity to strike—delivering a fatal blow by seizing the moment when they revealed their divine essences and using the Tree of the Netherworld to instantly devour them. One in front and two behind, the three of them turned into three beams of light and gradually disappeared into the Dragon Mountain Range. To Limo and Hebrew’s surprise, Huang Long’s speed was no slower than theirs; even as the two flew at full speed, Huang Long, in his dragon form, still managed to maintain a certain distance between them. “If this Huang Long were a descendant of Elvis, I’m sure the Supreme God would focus on nurturing him,” Limo thoughtcomplexlyly. Although the Elvis family was a super-large family in the divine realm, as vast as the six major families of the Netherworld, no descendant had satisfied the Supreme God of Light, Elvis, in trillions of years—none even among his over a hundred children. Limo’s master, Pei Ji, was the 87th son of the Supreme God of Light, a genius that appeared once in hundreds of millions of years. He was now a peerless warrior at the ninth level of the King of the Netherworld, yet even so, the Supreme God of Light did not pay him much attention. A warrior at the ninth level of the King of the Netherworld was nothing in the eyes of the Supreme God—only those who reached the ultimate stage of supreme gods deserved his attention. Although Huang Long was currently just a mid-level god, Limo knew that with his growth potential, he could become even more terrifying than a supreme god at the ultimate stage. As Limo pondered, Hebrew and Huang Long also had their own thoughts. Gradually, the three of them moved further away from the Dragon Mountain Range and entered another wasteland. Based on Huang Long’s memories of the Netherworld, beyond this wasteland lay the sea of clouds. After delving deeper into the wasteland, Limo and Hebrew stopped and turned to look at Huang Long. “Huang Long, your concealment skills are impressive, but this time, I don’t see where you can hide anymore,” Limo said coldly. Then, his body emitted a flash of light—bright white rays that spread out like ice cubes before coalescing into some kind of barrier. This barrier expanded instantly, enveloping Huang Long.
Seeing this, Huang Long was not surprised; his expression remained calm. Now, he was just waiting for Li Mo and the others to reveal their divine natures.
But at that moment, a surprised voice suddenly rang out in the distance: “Is it Brother Huang Long?!”
Everyone was stunned. They turned to look and saw a young man with black hair appearing before them as a streak of light.
It was none other than Li Yifeng, the person Huang Long had met in the Ancient Forest!
