Chapter 0578: Breaking Away from Tianlong Mountain
At Vitiya’s kind invitation, Huang Long stayed at Tianlong Mountain.
One day, an “unwelcome guest” arrived at the palace where Huang Long was staying—none other than Patrol Team Leader Vidri. Upon arriving, Vidri sneered at Huang Long, saying, “Kid, don’t think you can get away with saving our lady just because of that.”
Huang Long frowned.
“Speak up! What’s your real purpose? Were you sent by Silver Fox Mountain?!” Seeing that Huang Long remained silent, Vidri assumed he was timid and shouted at him.
On the Kale Continent, Fengjin Mountain and Tianlong Mountain were the strongest. On the neighboring Saint El Continent, the two most powerful forces were Silver Lone Mountain and Thunder Roc Mountain.
The three continents of Kale, Saint El, and Torre had always been at odds.
“Damn you, pig! You think you’re so brave just because you have a face? If you do, it’s still a pig’s face!” Jerom roared angrily from the side, adding, “Get lost! We don’t want to see your disgusting pig face!”
Vidri was “scared” by Jerom’s furious outburst, his eyes widening and his face turning red with anger.
As a dominant powerhouse and the leader of Tianlong Mountain’s patrol team, although his status wasn’t as high as that of the elders or palace masters, he was still above them. Even the supreme gods of some of the great families on the Kale Continent bowed deeply to him.
Now, some mere minor god dared to challenge his authority and insult him like this?!
Furious, Vidri leaped up and threw a punch at Jerom, shouting, “Die!” His Dark Godly Power surged forth, aiming to kill Jerom in one strike!
But just then, a figure flashed by. Vidri saw it was Huang Long.
“Get away from me, or I’ll kill you too!” Vidri yelled, though he didn’t stop his attack. Although Huang Long had saved Vitiya, he had hesitated to kill him under normal circumstances. But now, since Huang Long was trying to protect his subordinates, he had no choice but to attack.
Seeing that Huang Long remained unshaken, Vidri’s sneer grew even colder, and his Dark Godly Power intensified once more.
Just as his attack reached Huang Long, Huang Long reached out, slapping Vidri with a powerful palm. Thunder cracked, golden light, celestial fire, and sword glows erupted.
To Vidri’s shock, his Dark Godly Power seemed to encounter a huge wave and recoiled, instantly turning back against him.
Seeing this, Vidri was terrified and quickly summoned his divine armor. But as soon as he did, he was struck by an overwhelming force, sending him flying outward with a loud crash and landing on the open ground outside the palace. Vidri tried to struggle to get up, but a gush of blood burst from his throat, staining the ground red. “You!” Vidri pointed at the Yellow Dragon, his eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and even fear. On Tianlong Mountain, he was known as the second strongest being after the Supreme God—referring not only to his status but also to his strength. But now?! The Yellow Dragon flashed forward to Vidri’s side, forcing him to retreat in panic. “Get lost, idiot pig!” At that moment, Jerom stepped forward and kicked him with his thick-legged foot. Due to Vidri’s earlier murderous intent, Jerom delivered a fierce kick out of anger. How could Vidri avoid it, already severely injured by the Yellow Dragon? A pitiful scream echoed as Vidri was sent flying once again, crashing through numerous palaces and being buried under debris. “Lord Vidri!” The guards who had followed Vidri on Tianlong Mountain rushed to his aid, shouting in alarm as they cleared the debris to uncover him. Vidri’s eyes were slightly open, his breathing weak. Seeing Jerom’s mocking smile ahead, he grew furious and fainted. “What’s going on?!” Just then, a majestic voice came from the distant sky. Then, the space trembled, and a young man with golden hair appeared before everyone. A mysterious pattern glowed faintly between his brows. A powerful being from the ranks of the Supreme Gods! Jerom was shocked and retreated behind the Yellow Dragon along with Warner and the others. “Elder Keller!” The guards on Tianlong Mountain quickly bowed respectfully upon seeing him. The young man nodded, telling them to stand up. He glanced at Vidri, then turned around, emitting an astonishing pressure that pressed toward the Yellow Dragon. Just like Wei Fulei before, a dark golden talisman glowed between the Yellow Dragon’s brows, and his spiritual power surged forth to confront the pressure. With a hum, invisible energy waves spread out. The guards on Tianlong Mountain were forced to retreat in panic but were still affected, flying apart as blood sprayed everywhere. The Yellow Dragon’s body twisted into water and fire dragons to block the energy waves. Jerom and the others were not harmed, but even so, they were shaken by seeing everything where they once stood reduced to dust.
“Huh!” Keller exclaimed in surprise, looking at the Yellow Dragon in astonishment. Just like Wifley before, he clearly hadn’t expected his soul pressure to be withstood by such a minor overlord. After his surprise, he watched the Yellow Dragon with interest, much like a supreme emperor looking at a commoner—obviously, this commoner had given him an unexpected “surprise.” “So, you’re the Yellow Dragon?” Keller asked indifferently. He knew about the Yellow Dragon; upon returning from outside, he had heard reports from those below and learned of the Yellow Dragon saving Vitiya. He had come here on a whim today, only to encounter this incident. Of course, since an outsider dared to harm people from Tianlong Mountain, he had to intervene and teach them a lesson. Originally, it was just a minor overlord, not worth his effort. “Indeed,” the Yellow Dragon replied calmly. For some reason, the Yellow Dragon could sense hostility from Keller toward him. Was it related to him injuring Vidri? Probably not. The Yellow Dragon stared at him. Seeing the Yellow Dragon’s calm expression, Keller’s eyes flashed with coldness. This kid was indeed as described—arrogant and ignorant, unaware of his own limitations. “Hehe, Yellow Dragon, you hurt my people from Tianlong Mountain. Tell me, should I kill you?” Keller smiled indifferently, as if discussing something unimportant. “Of course. Since you saved Vitiya, I can spare your life—just cripple you instead!” Keller chuckled and raised his hand to deliver a punch. With that punch, snowflakes flew everywhere, creating a world of snow. The snowflakes drifted, bringing an eerily beautiful scene, as if everything was about to freeze solid. A chilling sound of ice spreading filled the air—this was the domain of a supreme godly powerhouse! But just as the snowflakes swirled, the Yellow Dragon suddenly disappeared, along with Jerom, Warner, and the others. Keller exclaimed in surprise once again. He spread his senses but couldn’t locate the Yellow Dragon. Frowning, he turned sharply and saw that the Yellow Dragon had already retreated to a high place behind him. Keller’s gaze sharpened, his eyes glowing with two strands of sword-like light that cut through the air. Yet when he reached the Yellow Dragon, those sword lights were scattered by an invisible force. “I heard you escaped from Wifley’s grasp. It seems true after all.” Keller chuckled and crossed his arms. “But do you really think you can leave Tianlong Mountain?” Not even a minor overlord powerhouse, let alone supreme gods like Wifley, could escape Tianlong Mountain. “Is that so?” the Yellow Dragon replied calmly.
Although Tianlong Mountain was surrounded by numerous restrictions, for Huang Long, these restrictions were utterly meaningless. Unless God King Opot personally intervened, it would be impossible to stop him from using his immortal escape technique.
“Brother Huang Long!” At that moment, a delicate voice rang out.
Huang Long turned to see that it was Vitiya.
“Brother Huang Long, please don’t leave. I’ll go plead with Father. He won’t blame you!” Vitiya said urgently. Apparently, she had overheard Huang Long’s conversation with Keller earlier and saw him about to leave, so she rushed out to stop him.
“Brother Keller, Brother Huang Long didn’t intend to hurt Captain Vidri. He saved me. I’ll go talk to Father,” Vitiya said, turning to Keller with pleading eyes, looking pitiful.
Huang Long shook his head inwardly. How could Vitiya still not understand? If Tianlong Mountain truly valued the fact that he had saved her, would Vidri dare to come and scold him? And why would Keller attack him and try to cripple him?! Even the supreme artifact, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, that Opot rewarded him with, was only given because of Vitiya’s pleas.
Perhaps Vidri’s attack was even instigated by her father, Opot.
Keller frowned, watching Vitiya plead for Huang Long with such pitifulness. Jealousy flared in his heart as he glared at Huang Long, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He had long heard that this girl had a crush on Huang Long; it turned out to be true!
That meant he couldn’t keep this kid around any longer!
Keller was about to take off when he slammed his palms together, sending ice and snow everywhere. Even the air currents in the space froze over.
“Not only did this kid hurt Vidri without reason, but even if he hurt a low-ranking god of Tianlong Mountain, he deserves death!”
“That’s Tianlong Mountain’s rule, and no one can change it!”
As the ice and snow froze the space around Huang Long, suddenly, Huang Long disappeared once again: “Vitiya, I’m leaving. Thank you for your kindness!” Then, his voice turned cold: “Tianlong Mountain’s rules? Let’s see how you kill me now!” As soon as his words faded, dozens of screams echoed.
Keller looked, his expression twisted in anger. Vidri, who had been seriously injured and unconscious, along with the guards of Tianlong Mountain, all lay sprawled on the ground.
“Huang Long!” Keller growled through gritted teeth. He expanded his divine sense but detected no trace of Huang Long. In anger, he slammed his palm, blasting Huang Long’s previous location in the courtyard.
Huang Long killing Vidri and dozens of Tianlong Mountain guards right in front of him was not just a challenge to his authority but also a disregard for entire Tianlong Mountain!
