Free Web NovelChapter 2174: Chapter 2175: Stop! Second Update
Hongyuan Holy Son is dead!
Facing Ye Qiu, who possesses the body of a king-level demon, there was no way to escape, and he lost his life in an effortless manner.
And at the moment when Hongyuan Holy Son was killed by Ye Qiu, a thunderous roar echoed from not far from the Star River Ancient City.
Heavenly Realm!
The aura of the heavenly level surged violently, like a flood, rushing toward Ye Qiu, causing the surrounding abyssal demons to succumb under this pressure.
Ye Qiu’s expression changed as he looked at the rapidly approaching figure, his eyes narrowed.
It’s him!
Elder Huang!
The same heavenly-level mighty figure who nearly killed him before.
It turns out that after Elder Huang failed to find any trace of Ye Qiu for days, he came to the vicinity of the ancient city, constantly watching over the safety of his sect’s Hongyuan Holy Son.
In Elder Huang’s view, with Hongyuan Holy Son’s strength, he could not handle a king-level demon, but demons below the king level could all be contended with.
Therefore, he wasn’t worried about Hongyuan Holy Son being in danger; even if there was danger, he could intervene at a critical moment.
But this time, he miscalculated; he never expected that an abyssal demon he hadn’t noticed would suddenly transform from an ordinary demon into a king level, and right in front of him, kill Hongyuan Holy Son.
Hongyuan Holy Son was the hope of Hunyuan Sect, destined to steer the sect in the future, yet today, he fell completely on the Star River Road.
With him, a heavenly realm mighty figure present, Hongyuan Holy Son was killed. How would he have any face to return to the sect, and how would the sect view him?
Failing to acquire the treasure from Ye Qiu could be excused; after all, it wasn’t his fault at the time, but now, with Hongyuan Holy Son involved, he cannot shirk off responsibility.
Facing the furious Elder Huang, Ye Qiu dare not remain stationary, but escaping from Elder Huang would be impossible.
Quickly thinking, Ye Qiu rushed into the demon army; after all, in the demon army, there were countless abyssal demons, and entering them would confuse Elder Huang’s vision, giving him a chance to hide.
Ye Qiu was already below the city wall, close to the demon army, and in an instant, he blended into the army.
The next second, Elder Huang arrived. He had been focusing on Ye Qiu, but when Ye Qiu joined the heaps of abyssal demons, he discovered that Ye Qiu had suddenly disappeared.
The locked aura fell short.
Elder Huang grew even more furious. If a king-level demon wanted to hide intentionally, it would be very difficult to find.
"Damn it!"
Overwhelmed with anger, Elder Huang no longer cared, and directly attacked the abyssal demons in front of him. Under his powerful influence, a large number of abyssal demons were slain.
The martial artists on the city wall were stunned because after Elder Huang acted, the number of abyssal demons in front of them suddenly dwindled and soon were completely wiped out.
"This..."
"Who is this powerful figure? So terrifying!"
Many people were unfamiliar with Elder Huang but were amazed by his strength, a strength only comparable to enforcers.
"Powerful figure from Hunyuan Sect!" Among the crowd, Lieyan Holy Son recognized Elder Huang’s identity.
After all, they’re all from major ancestral sects, and as individuals with Holy Son status, they usually encounter such powerful figures.
"Why did a mighty figure from Hunyuan Sect appear on the Star River Road?" Some were puzzled, as many people were unaware that several powerful figures from major sects had already arrived on the Star River Road.
Some remained silent, not too surprised, while others widened their eyes, utterly confused.
While Lieyan, Xiaoyao, and other Holy Sons were aware of some circumstances, they did not explain, as these things aren’t simple enough to be explained in a sentence or two.
"Why is the mighty figure from Hunyuan Sect so angry?"
"But to us, this might not be a bad thing; we don’t have to take action."
Yet some were worried, wondering if Elder Huang’s actions might anger the enforcers. People now had a better understanding of the demon wave than initially, with many sensing that Ancient Star River City seems to want to use the demon wave to temper them.
If a powerful figure appears, the effect of their training would be greatly reduced.
This point puzzled Lieyan Holy Son and Xiaoyao Holy Son as well; Elder Huang seemed excessive. This doesn’t bring him any benefit. Could it be that he wanted to acquire more cores for Hongyuan Holy Son?
Eh?
"Speaking of, where’s Hongyuan Holy Son?"
"Right, I remember he was just here."
At this moment, someone stepped forward and said, "I saw him seemingly went down."
"What?"
Hongyuan Holy Son descended the ancient city and now showed no sign, while the mighty figure from Hunyuan Sect went into a rage, indiscriminately attacking abyssal demons.
Connecting these pieces of information, everyone simultaneously thought of the same question.
"Hongyuan Holy Son must have been killed by the abyssal demon, right?" someone cried in alarm.
Others remained silent, but this silence inadvertently confirmed the suspicion seemed correct.
"Look..." someone stood on the city wall pointing to a headless body below, drawing everyone’s gaze and stunning them.
They guessed it right!
Hongyuan Holy Son is dead!
That’s why the sect’s mighty figure is furious and wants to kill the abyssal demons despite breaking the ancient city’s rules.
"No!"
"Not this one either!"
"It must still be here."
"I’ll kill you all, none will be spared."
Elder Huang’s behavior grew frantic; as he continued attacking, he searched for the abyssal demon that killed Hongyuan Holy Son, yet after a long search found nothing.
Finally, Elder Huang lost all patience; he resolved to kill all the abyssal demons in sight.
The power of the heavenly realm, once unleashed, is comparable to the destructive power of king-level demons. The demon army is mostly comprised of ordinary demons and king-level abyssal demons, who stand no chance against Elder Huang. At this level, numbers cannot bridge the gap.
Elder Huang’s attacks, like two sharp blades, swept across, wiping out a large area; within a few breaths, tens of thousands of abyssal demons were slain.
Just as Elder Huang was savoring his killings, a voice from within Star River Ancient City made the enraged Elder Huang halt his actions.
It was like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured over him.
"Does my existence mean nothing to you, attacking right outside my Star River Ancient City?"
The voice was heard without a visible figure; yet Elder Huang had no choice but to calm down.
Perhaps this voice seemed unremarkable to others, but that was due to many being insufficiently advanced to understand the implications within.
"Apologies, I did not mean to break the rules. I assure you, I will not make a move until the demon wave is over." Elder Huang said as he clasped his fist toward Star River Ancient City, his voice resonating across the land.
The many young martial artists on the city wall felt incredulous, an apology from a heavenly realm mighty figure! What sort of power is this, and who was the person speaking to him?
Curiosity peaked among everyone.
However, soon they lost interest; without Elder Huang’s intervention, abyssal demons surged once more. It was then that many realized, the demon wave hadn’t ended yet.
