Chapter 0685: People of the Lei Peng Clan
Seeing the panicked expressions on Jin Lin and the others, Lei Deli couldn’t help but laugh. When he noticed Huang Long beside Jin Lin, he frowned.
At that moment, Jin Lin suddenly attacked the Halsh clan members surrounding them. With a wave of his main divine weapon, he sent those Halsh clan members flying away. Faced with life and death, he no longer cared about the safety of Huang Long and the others.
Although he thought Huang Long’s strength wasn’t as simple as it seemed, he didn’t believe Huang Long could match Lei Deli—after all, Lei Deli was a supreme godly powerhouse! Moreover, from what the clan elders had told him, Lei Deli’s strength was already close to that of a ruler!
The other five members of the Koshai clan quickly reacted and began attacking the Halsh clan members around them, also trying to break through and escape. One of them even shouted at Huang Long, “Huang Long, didn’t you say you had a grudge against the Halsh clan? Why aren’t you acting now?!”
This was clearly an attempt to drag Huang Long into trouble. They deliberately shouted loudly to draw the Halsh clan members’ attention to Huang Long, making it easier for themselves to escape.
Huang Long had just arrived in the Hongmeng Realm and had never heard of the Halsh clan before—let alone have any grudge against them!
Huang Long frowned.
Pi Long Zherom pursed his lips and blew out his dragon whiskers. “Fearful and traitorous scum!” After all, Huang Long was now in their team. Instead of caring about his safety, they used him to draw the enemy’s attention so they could escape. This behavior filled Pi Long Zherom with disgust and anger.
Under normal circumstances, without the Halsh clan stepping in, he would have already crushed those people with a single kick.
The Hongmeng Thunder Beast also glowed with fury in its eyes. If not for Huang Long’s orders, Jin Lin and the others from the Koshai clan would have long been its prey.
Sure enough, Lei Deli and all the Halsh clan members turned their attention to Huang Long.
Before Lei Deli could speak, three of the Halsh clan members couldn’t resist attacking Huang Long. One of them was even an unparalleled powerhouse.
Seeing this, Pi Long Zherom laughed. “Old Lei, give me two, and leave one for you!”
“Old Lei” was Pi Long Zherom’s nickname for the Hongmeng Thunder Beast.
The Hongmeng Thunder Beast nodded, its horn on its forehead flashing. Then, a bolt of lightning crashed down from the sky, instantly reducing that unparalleled powerhouse to nothing but lightning ash.
Zherom wasn’t far behind. He opened his maw and, with a sneeze, unleashed a whirlwind that instantly torn the other two Halsh clan members to shreds.
All these changes happened too suddenly. Jin Lin and the five members of the Koshai family, who were trying to escape, heard screams and couldn’t help but look back. Seeing what was before them, they stood frozen in shock.
As for Lei Deli and the others from the Harshe family, they stared in disbelief at Jerom, the rogue dragon, and Hongmeng Thunder Beast, its little pet.
Killing two supreme gods, who were nearly peerless in strength, with just a sneeze?! And the fate of that supreme god was even more bizarre!
Lei Deli took a deep breath and looked at the yellow dragon. His expression shifted from confusion to terror.
The descendants of the Harshe family had already fled behind Lei Deli out of fear.
“Th-this sir, we don’t know who you are, and we’re sorry if we’ve offended you. We were blinded—we’ll leave now, right away!” After a while, Lei Deli said anxiously, his voice trembling.
Judging from the way their opponent’s mount and pet had killed three of their family members, they must be supreme gods! If those were the mounts of such powerful supreme gods, then what was the status of the yellow dragon?!
Lei Deli didn’t dare think further. This young man with black hair was definitely someone he couldn’t offend!
After saying that, he tried to scurry away.
“Hey old man, who said you could leave? Did my master allow you to leave?” At that moment, Jerom’s voice came through. His tone revealed his displeasure.
Hearing Jerom’s voice, Lei Deli and the others from the Harshe family, who had wanted to flee in panic, stopped immediately, their faces twisted in horror.
Meanwhile, the six members of Jin Lin’s group also had complex expressions, standing there unsure whether to leave or stay. Especially that member of the Koshai family who had earlier shouted that the yellow dragon had a grudge against the Harshe family, his face was ashen.
Lei Deli turned to look at the yellow dragon, Jerom, and Thunder Beast. Swallowing his dry throat, he said to the yellow dragon, “Th-this sir, our ancestor of the Harshe family has also come to the plane battlefield. We meant no offense to you. Please spare us, and our Harshe family is willing to befriend you!”
The ancestor of the Harshe family—a supreme god of unparalleled strength!
Lei Deli thought that the other party must have heard of their ancestor’s fame and, knowing that their ancestor was also at the plane battlefield, would likely stop troubling them.
“Oh, your ancestor?” The yellow dragon’s expression remained calm, revealing no emotions.
Mentioning their ancestor gave Lei Deli some comfort. He then said, “Yes, our ancestor is also nearby. I’ve already sent a message to him!”
Although Leideli appeared respectful toward Huang Long on the surface, his words carried a threatening tone. Yet what he said was true—he had indeed sent a message to their clan’s ancestor, who was right in the vicinity! Huang Long patted Pi Long. Pi Long, Jerom, understood immediately and smiled at him, saying, “Heh heh, I hate being threatened the most. Kid, you talk too much—take this kick from your dragon lord!” With that, he raised his beast leg and kicked. Leideli’s expression changed; just as he was about to speak, Jerom’s kick arrived before him. Without thinking further, he tried to dodge, but suddenly there was a loud crash, and he felt his body shake violently, as if hearing the sound of his internal organs shattering. Then he lost consciousness. Was the other party not a powerful Lord God?! Before losing consciousness, Leideli glanced at Jerom in disbelief. Leideli crashed to the ground with a muffled thud. Jin Lin and the others watched Leideli lie motionless there, then looked at Pi Long retracting his beast leg, and finally at Huang Long. An elder of the Halsh family—such a Lord God died like this? And one whose strength was close to that of a Sovereign! After a long while, the fear in Jin Lin and the others’ eyes gradually turned into horror. At that moment, the remaining members of the Halsh family realized what had happened, cried out in shock, and fled. Seeing this, the Thunder Beast snarled, its horn on its forehead flashing with lightning. With a strike from the Thunder Snake, all the remaining Halsh family members followed in Leideli’s footsteps. Huang Long turned to look at Jin Lin and the five others standing there in shock. Seeing Huang Long gaze at them, they stepped back. “H-Huang, Lord Huang Long!” Jin Lin said tremulously, his face filled with pleading and remorse as he knelt down. The five members of the Kosai family also quickly knelt and begged for mercy. Huang Long looked at the six of them and slowly said, “Fools who fear death and abandon their friends to save themselves!” As soon as he finished speaking, Jerom and the Thunder Beast attacked simultaneously. A hurricane swept through, and the Thunder Snake moved. After a few screams, Jin Lin and the five others lay stiffly on the ground, their bodies charred, turning into six piles of ash. Huang Long glanced at the six piles of ash and was about to leave when suddenly a sound of breaking air came. He looked up with a smile on his lips, “It seems leaving isn’t that easy.” In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures appeared before Huang Long. Most of them were dressed like Leideli and the others, clearly members of the Halsh family. Besides them, three others wore purple-black robes, with streaks of lightning faintly visible on them.
“People of the Lei Peng clan,” Huang Long said upon seeing the attire of the three. Among them was a Supreme Divine warrior.
“Did you kill our Halsh clan elders?!” The silver-haired elder at the front stared at Lei Deli and the others lying on the ground, his expression dark as he asked Huang Long.
This silver-haired elder was none other than the ancestor of the Halsh clan, Nithil.
Huang Long, knowing that he was the clan’s ancestor, replied indifferently, “Exactly!”
“Why?!” Nithil’s voice was low, as he suppressed his murderous intent. He realized Huang Long was no ordinary person, so he didn’t act rashly out of anger. The Supreme Divine warrior from the Lei Peng clan standing beside Nithil also gazed at Huang Long thoughtfully. There was also Zerom and the Thunder Beast—though his attention was mostly on the Thunder Beast, as if he had noticed something.
“Hehe, why? Because they deserved it! What ‘why’? Old man, aren’t you asking too many questions?” Huang Long didn’t answer. The rogue dragon Zerom spoke in a defiant tone, his beastly eyes narrowing at the questioning tone, especially since it was directed at his master, Huang Long.
Everyone was astonished and turned to look at Zerom.
Nithil’s eyes burned with murderous intent as he sneered, “Very well! Then I, Nithil, will see if you truly have the arrogance to disregard my Halsh clan!” With that, he opened his palm, and a black hole the size of an eye suddenly appeared in the center of it. The black hole spun, generating a powerful sucking force that tried to pull Zerom in.
Seeing this, Zerom abandoned his contemptuous attitude. His aura surged, and a flame erupted as he struck out with a palm. A whirlwind tore through space, creating a strong counterforce that collided with Nithil’s black hole’s sucking power.
With a dull boom, Nithil staggered back several steps. Yet Zerom remained standing firm in place.
Seeing this result, Nithil and the others stared in disbelief at Zerom, the rogue dragon. In truth, Zerom knew that in terms of true strength, he was still slightly weaker than Nithil. The reason he gained the upper hand this time was thanks to Huang Long.
The counterforce from the earlier impact had already been dissipated by Huang Long.
After retreating, Nithil’s expression became unpredictable. The Supreme Divine warrior from the Lei Peng clan, surprised, spoke up, “Sir, you don’t seem to be from our Hongmeng Realm?!”
