Chapter 0526: The Arrival of the Yellow Dragon
After that single strike, the humanoid monster sent Bazel flying and grinned, its blood-red mouth dripping green saliva as it emitted a cloud of black mist. Wherever the mist reached, space emitted a buzzing sound. Kennedy and the others paled at the sight.
They saw that the corrosive power of this black mist seemed to affect even space itself!
Even as the head of the Ruining First Family in the Netherworld, Kennedy had never heard of anything that could corrode space.
“Human, you’re quite strong. Hehe, I can feel that after devouring you, my strength will soar!” the humanoid monster said to Bazel, its crimson eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
Bazel sneered in anger, “Is that so? Let’s see if it’s you who devours me or I who crush your divine essence!”
These humanoid monsters also possessed divine essences. When Kennedy and the others fought them, many of these monsters used their divine essences to attack. What puzzled Bazel and the others was that these divine essences seemed to belong to no particular faction or rule—containing both the power of death and life.
Bishop laughed heartily, “Bazel, don’t worry. I’ll show you what the most terrifying and cruel way to die is in this world!”
Seeing the humanoid monsters around him blocking Bazel’s attacks, Bishop felt confident. Initially, he had some reservations about Kennedy and Bazel, who were both at the peak of their powers. But now, with the strength of these monsters at his side—four of them!—he was sure he could defeat Kennedy and Bazel.
“Everyone, don’t say I, Bishop, don’t value our past friendship. I’m giving you one last chance—join Lord Morley now, or else, hehe!” After saying this, Bishop glanced at the elders surrounding Kennedy.
If these elders could give up resisting and surrender voluntarily, he could save a lot of trouble. Otherwise, dealing with them would be difficult, as dealing with these elders wasn’t as easy as dealing with the Ruining clan’s members.
As Bishop spoke, more than seventy elders standing around Kennedy showed hesitation. Clearly, in such a situation, they valued their lives more than their family. After all, no one wanted to die.
“Bishop, what are your plans? Don’t we know?!”, Rodri beside Kennedy sneered. “You’re trying to persuade us to side with that Morley, to give up resisting, so that once you take control of the Runing family, you can wipe us out!”
At Rodri’s words, several elders who had initially been tempted to change their minds paled and stopped moving, their gazes toward Bishop filled with even more hatred.
Seeing this, Bishop grew furious. This Rodri had always been against him!
Back in the Land of Forgetfulness, when the Yellow Dragon claimed Angus was killed by Faid, though no evidence was found, Rodri insisted it was his grandson Faid who did it. Thus, for ten thousand years, he had constantly made things difficult for Bishop!
Bishop’s murderous intent flared as he glared at Rodri and said coldly, “Rodri, all these years you’ve listened to the Yellow Dragon’s lies and opposed me at every turn. Soon, I’ll make you understand what regret really is!”
Rodri laughed heartily. “Bishop, it should be me saying that.”
“Bishop, it’s not too late to regret it. We elders will intercede on your behalf, and you won’t be punished for treason!” Donald’s voice followed.
Bishop snorted coldly, his eyes turning icy. With a wave of his hands, countless mist demons and humanoid monsters rushed at Kennedy, Bazel, and the others.
Although Kennedy and Bazel were extremely powerful, there were simply too many of these mist demons and humanoid monsters. As they killed some, more would emerge, seemingly endless. What worried Kennedy and Bazel even more were the four humanoid monsters whose strength was roughly equal to theirs.
These four monsters hid among the others, striking from ambush whenever they were distracted, driving them mad with frustration.
“Ah!” Suddenly, a scream rang out. Kennedy and the others turned to see an elder attacked by a humanoid monster. Distraught, he was invaded by mist demons, his face covered in black fog as he suffered immensely.
“Elder Vid!”
Many elders cried out in alarm.
They tried to turn and help, but the frenzied mist demons and humanoid monsters prevented them from splitting their attention. In the end, the elders summoned their divine avatars, but to no avail. They could only watch helplessly as Elder Vid endured the torment of his soul being devoured by the mist demons, until his eyes glazed over and he became completely motionless.
After devouring Elder Vid’s soul, the mist demons drifted out of his body, emitting a chilling aura with their dark, shiny glow.
Then they rushed at another elder.
As time passed, another elder met the same fate. The mist demons and those humanoid monsters attacked even more frantically. Kennedy and the others were filled with fear and anger, looking desperate. Although leaving would not stop those mist demons and humanoid monsters, as high-ranking members of the Runing family, they couldn’t just abandon their millions of descendants. With Kennedy and the others in such a state, the Runing family’s branch members, direct descendants, and core members across all corners of the Runing estate were plunged into utter despair. If it were only those mist demons, they wouldn’t pose much threat to the descendants of the higher gods, but now there were not only those mist demons but also countless humanoid monsters. These monsters possessed regenerative abilities; if not wiped out completely, they would rise again and again, filling the Runing family’s descendants with terror. In fact, most of them had already lost the will to fight on. Screams echoed from every corner of the Runing estate as more and more Runing family descendants perished. “Brother Chester, it seems we’re going to die here!” came Fat Francis’s frustrated voice from a corner of the Runing estate’s main city. “Fat guy, hold on! The Supreme God will come and save us!” Chester swung his sword, driving back a group of humanoid monsters before returning to Fat Francis’s side, his expression urgent. “Hold on? How many days have we held on? Six days? But has the Supreme God arrived?” Fat Francis looked desperate, waving his chubby hand to push back the surrounding humanoid monsters with water-based divine power. Chester remained silent. They had held on until now hoping that the Supreme God would arrive and kill those mist demons and humanoid monsters, saving them. But day after day passed without any sign of the Supreme God, while the mist demons and humanoid monsters grew in number. Watching the Runing family’s descendants die one after another, Chester also gradually lost hope. “I was thinking of going to Tianxiang Castle to have some fun when Brother Huanglong visits our Runing estate next time, but it seems that chance is gone!” Fat Francis sighed. He remembered when Huanglong was at the Runing estate, he had won first place in the Island Trial and completed the family’s century-long trial mission, after which they would always go to Tianxiang Pavilion in Tianxiang Castle to celebrate. “But I never expected that after leaving Runing, Brother Huanglong would not only become an unparalleled warrior but also dare to kill Faji and Coke! Those are the sons of the Light Sovereign!” Then, Fat Francis said with envy, admiration, and reverence, “I’m afraid Brother Huanglong has already reached perfection!”
Chester also said with a complex expression, “Right!”
Over the years, news of Huang Long’s deeds kept coming in, and with each story, they were more shocked. Especially the recent incident where Huang Long killed the son of the Light Lord, Faji, and Coke, in the Planar Battlefield, left them utterly astonished.
Since it had been a short time, the news of Huang Long fighting fiercely against the other gods and killing the Dark God Gebor and the Water Lord Eirf had not yet reached the Planar Battlefield. So, Chester and Fat Francis still didn’t know about it.
“If Brother Huang Long were here, that would be great!” Fat Francis said.
Chester replied, “Even if Brother Huang Long were here, it wouldn’t help.”
In their view, although Huang Long had reached the state of perfect mastery, he still couldn’t prevent the Ruining Family from perishing. Weren’t Kennedy and Bazel also at the same level of mastery? They knew that the clan leader and the high-ranking members of the family were trapped by those mist demons and humanoid monsters as well.
Fat Francis fell silent. In fact, he knew too that even if Huang Long were here, it wouldn’t make a difference. It was just that, due to Huang Long’s repeated miracles, Fat Francis had blurted it out casually.
…
Hundreds of millions of miles away, above the border between the Ruining Family’s estate and the Pus Family’s estate, a group of people appeared out of thin air—Huang Long and the others who had rushed over.
“Second brother, look!” After arriving, Huang Liang pointed at the Ruining Family’s estate, his face filled with shock.
All around the estate, both above and below, there were mist demons and humanoid monsters everywhere. Blood flowed like rivers, and the bodies of descendants in Ruining Family robes lay scattered everywhere.
“I never expected there to be so many mist demons and humanoid monsters at the Ruining Family’s estate!” Brad was also shocked. Along the way, although they had seen many major cities in the Netherworld attacked by these mist demons and humanoid monsters, there weren’t so many, nor were the situations so brutal.
“It seems the Ruining Family is really in trouble. Let’s go!” Huang Long’s eyes flashed as he led everyone straight toward the Ruining Family’s main estate.
With a thought from Huang Long, celestial fire appeared on his body. Wherever he passed, all the mist demons in front of him screamed in agony before turning into smoke and dissipating into the air.
The Huang family members, Brad, Bog, Yamo, and others followed behind Huang Long and also took action.
Along the way, millions of mist demons and humanoid monsters in the surrounding area vanished.
Those Ruining Family descendants who were trapped by the mist demons and humanoid monsters, looking desperate, hadn’t even had time to react to what was happening when they saw the mist demons and humanoid monsters disappear. Then, they stared in astonishment as streams of light flew toward the main estate.
