Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2664
One jade stone less, kill one person!
Everyone in the Rising Clouds Commerce team was enraged.
Yun Fanger fell into a dilemma to give or not give.
Although she still had jade stones on her, these jade stones were meant to purchase a batch of World Riverâs Ice Blue Ores, and that was the main reason the caravan had ventured into the World River this time around.
If she gave half of these jade stones to the Thunder Serpent Race, she wouldnât be able to purchase a sufficient amount of Ice Blue Ores. How was she going to explain her failure to the commerceâs client?
This batch of Ice Blue Ores was ordered by one of the Rising Clouds Commerceâ big clients, and even the commerce house did not dare to offend the client easily.
If she didnât give the Thunder Serpent Race what they wanted, she is certain Lei Long wasnât bluffing.
âFine, Iâll give you!â After pondering back and forth, Yun Fanger finally yielded, albeit very reluctantly.
Even though the insufficient jade stones would result in less Ice Blue Ores, she could think of another way on the way there.
Lei Long flashed a brilliant smile at her, showing impeccable pearly white teeth as he said, â Second Miss Yun is really a hero amongst women, knowing when to advance, and when to retreat.â He stopped and looked at the sky. âItâs already dark and the nightâs frigid qi is getting heavier. Why doesnât Second Miss Yun rest at my abode, and leave tomorrow.â
The Rising Clouds Commerceâs team were truly furious right now.
This Lei Long was simply riding on their heads!
Our Miss has already agreed to pay another sum of toll fees to them, yet Lei Long still wants her to head to his place?
Isnât this detainment in disguise?
Even the docile Yun Fanger glared at Lei Long angrily, âYou!ââ
Lei Long laughed heartily at the angry faces before him. âSecond Miss Yun, I donât have any ill-intentions, rest assured. I have always treated the fairer gender with gentleness at my place, and you will definitely receive the highest treatment!â
But Lei Long deliberately stressed âhighest treatment,â and clearly, there was an underlying meaning to his words.
âIâll accept the thought of your kindness.â Yun Fanger suppressed her anger as she went on, âThere is no need to go to your residence.â
Lei Long smiled lecherously, âIâm afraid Second Miss Yun does not have a choice in this matter. I donât like people defying me, so, you will be going whether you are willing or not.â He signaled the expert who had attacked Chen Junhong earlier to act with his eyes.
The expert complied and strode towards Yun Fanger.
The Rising Clouds Commerceâs team was flustered as this person had injured Chen Junhong with a wave of his hand. That meant he was at least a Fifth Heaven True Saint expert.
The old man beside Yun Fanger shielded her with a solemn expression, staring unblinkingly at the Thunder Serpent Raceâs expert who was approaching. His cultivation was at the early Sixth Heaven True Saint Realm, thus he had a clearer recognition of the Thunder Serpent Raceâs expertâs scary strength. At the very least, the expert was a late-Sixth Heaven True Saint, possibly Seventh Heaven True Saint.
âOld man, youâre not enough to be my opponent, so youâd better scram far away instead of blocking my way.â The Thunder Serpent Raceâs expert sneered coldly, âOr I donât mind destroying your physical body, as well as everyone here, and refine them into yin thunder beads.â
The old man retorted coldly, âEnough with your nonsense. Even if all of us die here, we wonât let you touch a hair on our Miss!â
âIf thatâs how you want it, Iâll fulfill all of your wishes!â The Thunder Serpent Raceâs experts scoffed.
Just as the old man by Yun Fangerâs side was about to seize the initiative and attack first, a hand appeared in his sight and stopped his action.
Everyone watching was bewildered.
The owner of the arm was none other than Huang Xiaolong, who had not spoken a word so far.
Huang Xiaolongâs indifferent gaze fell on the Thunder Serpent Raceâs expert as he spoke, âYou guys can roll out of here now.â
His words stunned everyone present.
A beat later, Lei Long laughed loudly, âPunk, what did you say? Roll out of here?â
âCorrect,â Huang Xiaolong confirmed with a deadpan face, âWithin ten seconds, roll out of my sight, otherwise, even your father canât save you.â
Lei Long laughed even harder at Huang Xiaolongâs words. So did the several thousand experts of Thunder Serpent Race.
When he finally stopped laughing, Lei Longâs chilling gaze was locked onto Huang Xiaolong, âPunk, youâre an honorary elder of the Rising Clouds Commerce? Because of what you’ve said just now, Iâve decided, everyone under True Saint Realm, except for Yun Fanger, will be killed. Whereas for those True Saint experts, their physical bodies will be destroyed. On top of that, because of you, your Second Miss Yun will receive an even higher treatment!â
Everyone in the Rising Clouds Commerce team turned deathly pale instantly.
Chen Junhong directly pointed at Huang Xiaolong and hollered, âYou motherfcker, shut your goddamn mouth. Who wants you to step up and be a hero here?! All of us are going to die because of you!â
Before he could utter another word, he was sent flying with a finger flick from Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong didnât even look at Chen Junhong but Chen Junhong was sent flying out of the island area, smashing into the World River with a loud splash.
The rest of them were about to lash out on Huang Xiaolong, but after watching Chen Junhongâs ending, their anger extinguished, and it was replaced by astonishment. Even Yun Fanger and the old man beside her blanked.
Lei Long and other Thunder Serpent Raceâs experts hadnât expected to see a live play of internal rift all of a sudden.
It was clear that none of them had expected the late-Third Heaven True Saint Chen Junhong to be so vulnerable before Huang Xiaolong.
âPunk, your strength is not bad. No wonder you have the guts to stand up against us.â Lei Long mocked, âStill, if you want to be the hero that saves the maiden, your strength is more than a little low.â
Huang Xiaolong stated coldly, âTen seconds are up.â
Lei Long and the rest did not understand what Huang Xiaolong meant as Huang Xiaolong made a grabbing gesture with his palm. All the Thunder Serpent Raceâs experts felt the space around them constricted as a horrifying power pressed against them from every direction. Before they could make a sound, one by one, they exploded.
Before the Rising Clouds Commerce groupâs shock-widened eyes, the Thunder Serpent Raceâs several thousand experts burst into mists of blood, including the Thunder Serpent Raceâs expert who had sent Chen Junhong flying with a wave of his hand. For a while, rapid blasts thundered in the Rising Clouds Commerce teamâs ears.
Lei Long watched several thousand of his raceâs experts, from far till near, explode into mists of blood in the air, inching closer to him like the grim reaper, and there was finally fear in his eyes. Just as he opened his mouth, wanting to speak, something sounded inside of his body, and then he lost consciousness forever.
After seeing that all the Thunder Serpent Race experts, including Lei Long, were reduced to blood mists, an icy coldness crept up the Rising Clouds Commerce teamâs hearts. And Chen Junhong, who had just climbed out from the World River, felt his limbs soften and fell back into the river.
A long time passed before Yun Fanger reacted. She looked at Huang Xiaolong dazedly, and finally managed to muster, âYoung Master Long, youâŠâ
âYou guys leave here quickly.â Huang Xiaolong said, shaking his head, not willing to explain further.
The Thunder Serpent Race definitely would pursue the matter of Lei Longâs death.
Half an hour later, Yun Fangerâs group finally left the island. After some thought, Huang Xiaolong sent two peak late-Ninth Heaven True Saint Realm undead spirits to ensure their safety.
The crux of the matter was, Lei Long was killed by him.
After Yun Fangerâs group left, Huang Xiaolong remained on the island, waiting for the Thunder Serpent Raceâs experts, but after waiting for an entire night, he didnât see a shadow of the Thunder Serpent Raceâs experts. Thus, early the next morning, Huang Xiaolong continued on his way.
Roughly two months later, Huang Xiaolong finally reached the Sky Opening Island.
As he looked at the island that seemingly had no end, Huang Xiaolong really could not believe that this island was actually a stone that had fallen from spaceâŠ
âNatural Xuanhuang Stone?â Huang Xiaolong muttered under his breath, and his eyes sparkled. âSince this Sky Opening Island is actually a Xuanhuang Stone, if I can refine it, it would surely be a supreme dao artifact, a super duper dao artifact!â
