Chapter 1969 - 1961: What If I Refuse to Leave?
Originally, Huang Xiaolong didn’t intend to provoke the Ten-winged Unicorn, after all, he didn’t lack a mount. With his current status, there’s no top-level Divine Beast mount he couldn’t have.So, Huang Xiaolong instinctively dodged aside.
But to Huang Xiaolong’s surprise, when he dodged, the Ten-winged Unicorn came to his side and didn’t leave! It actually snuggled up to him very affectionately, looking completely content.
Huang Xiaolong was momentarily dumbfounded.
No way!
"Little guy, I’m not your master, why are you leaning on me?" Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but joke.
The Ten-winged Unicorn blinked its sapphire eyes and said, "Who said I’m small, but the energy on your body is really comfortable. I’ve seen many Popes, but none of their energies are as comfortable as yours."
Huang Xiaolong was stunned.
Energy?
Could it be the energy of Heaven? Can this Ten-winged Unicorn sense the energy of Heaven within him?
But it’s possible; it’s rumored that Unicorns, as top-level Divine Beasts, are born from the most primordial energy of the Bright God Realm.
At this moment, the group chasing after caught up and surrounded Huang Xiaolong.
"Kid, don’t block the way, get lost quickly!" One of them couldn’t help but scold Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong glanced over them and said calmly, "What if I don’t get lost?"
The man laughed loudly: "Not getting lost? I’m telling you to move for your own good. I originally wanted to give you a chance to escape, but since you don’t appreciate it, fine, die now!" With that, he slashed fiercely at Huang Xiaolong.
This person’s strength wasn’t weak, he was at the Seventh-stage Late Stage Peak of the Heavenly Monarch, just half a step away from the Heavenly Monarch Eighth Stage. He was a high-level powerhouse, a key figure in any sect of the Bright God Realm.
Watching the opponent slash at him, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned cold. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes, and then everyone saw the man with the sword suddenly split open in half, with blood splattering in the air, dying before even having a chance to scream.
The surrounding powerhouses were shocked, all of them looking at Huang Xiaolong in amazement.
Silence fell over the surroundings.
"You, how dare you kill a great deacon of the Half Moon Church, you’re dead!" One person pointed at Huang Xiaolong, both shocked and angry.
Several hundred people behind him stared at Huang Xiaolong with murderous intent.
The Half Moon Church was one of the top hundred sects in the Bright God Realm, under the control of the Light Realm Lord’s major forces.
"So what if I killed him?" Huang Xiaolong said calmly, "Even if the Pope of your Half Moon Church comes, I’ll kill him just the same."
When Huang Xiaolong spoke, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
The Pope of the Half Moon Church was a Late Stage Tenth Rank powerhouse.
The man laughed: "Kid, you really? Do you know that our Half Moon Pope is a Late Stage Tenth Rank powerhouse? You’re not even worthy to carry our Pope’s shoes, yet you dare claim you’ll kill our noble Pope?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xiaolong casually pointed a finger, and the man exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
"So what if it’s the Late Stage Tenth Rank?" Huang Xiaolong said calmly, "Even at the Late Stage Tenth Rank, I’ll still kill just the same."
He had killed his fair share of Late Stage Tenth Ranks, whether in the Hell Nether Sea or in the Demon World Starving Demon Ancient Battlefield, so many that even he couldn’t recall.
Though Huang Xiaolong had just killed two people in a row, revealing his astonishing strength, when the several thousand experts around heard him audaciously claim he could easily kill even a Late Stage Tenth Rank, it inevitably angered several Great Emperor powerhouses among them.
Among these thousands, there were four Pope-level Great Emperors. Though none of them were high-level or mid-level Great Emperors, one of them was a Great Emperor Second Stage Early Stage expert.
"What grand words, Lords," coldly said the Pope at Great Emperor Second Stage Early Stage, "What makes you think you’re our Bright Realm Lord? I would like to see how you plan to kill me, a Great Emperor Second Stage Early Stage!"
Huang Xiaolong didn’t hide his aura during his earlier attack, so they saw that Huang Xiaolong was merely a newly ascended Great Emperor First Stage Early Stage, having just broken through.
A newly ascended Great Emperor boasting of killing even Late Stage Tenth Rank powerhouses was angering indeed.
Immediately, the Pope flew up, swinging his long sword.
"Kid, take my Light Ten Thousand Gods Slash!"
A sword strike came down.
Layer upon layer of Bright Sword Qi slashed out, exactly ten thousand layers, each enough to kill an ordinary Great Emperor First Stage expert.
"This is the Fire Worshiping Church’s Great Sect Sect Secret Technique!"
"The Fire Worshiping Church was an Ancient Supreme Church that disappeared ten billion years ago. Yet the Great Extinguishing Pope has obtained the Fire Worshiping Church’s secret technique!"
The other three Pope-level Great Emperors exclaimed in surprise.
In the Bright God Realm, it’s said that the Light Realm Lord and the Bright Knight Army each rule half, but that’s just a general saying. In fact, there are still many super sects in the Bright God Realm that are independent of the Light Realm Lord and the Bright Knight Army’s control. For instance, in ancient times, the Fire Worshiping Church was independent from their rule.
This fact alone shows how powerful the Fire Worshiping Church was in ancient times. As their Great Sect’s secret technique, the Light Ten Thousand Gods Slash is naturally extremely powerful.
The Great Extinguishing Pope intended to strike down Huang Xiaolong in one slash to intimidate the masses, making controlling the Ten-winged Unicorn easier, and besides, he detested how a mere newly ascended Great Emperor junior could boast so brazenly.
At this moment, the Light Ten Thousand Gods Slash reached Huang Xiaolong, who gave a cold laugh. Without using the Emperor’s Will or the Three Great Demon Steles, he punched directly. Instantly, the ten thousand slashing sword lights dispersed, and his fist punched directly into the Great Extinguishing Pope’s chest.
Huang Xiaolong’s fist protruded from his back and then withdrew.
From afar, a group of experts flew over, led by Lu Feng, the Bright Knight Team Captain who had earlier invited Huang Xiaolong to join their team.
Seeing from afar that Huang Xiaolong’s punch pierced the Great Extingishing Pope’s chest, they froze in place, filled with shock and disbelief. Especially the middle-aged man at Heavenly Monarch Third-stage Mid Stage who had earlier wanted to teach Huang Xiaolong a harsh lesson was now pale as a sheet.
Everyone was silent, staring in shock at the massive hole in the Great Extinguishing Pope’s chest.
"You, how is it possible?!" the Great Extinguishing Pope rasped, still refusing to believe that he, a Great Emperor Second Stage Early Stage, had been blown through the chest by the punch of a newly ascended Great Emperor. And the terrifying destruction power was still destroying his life force inside.
A few breaths later, the Great Extinguishing Pope exploded into a rain of blood.
Dead!
Huang Xiaolong ignored the shocked crowd, sweeping his gaze over them, asking, "Anyone else want me to get lost?" Pointing to the Ten-winged Unicorn: "I want this Ten-winged Unicorn. Anyone else want to fight for it?"
Originally, a Ten-winged Unicorn was dispensable to Huang Xiaolong, but now, he had specifically decided he wanted this one.
