Invincible Chapter 2093: All Swords Drawn

Chapter 2093: All Swords Drawn

A spirited middle-aged man was standing on the bow of the Two-headed Devil Dragon Empire’s flying s.h.i.+p. He wore a scarlet gold dragon robe, and the dragon qi around him seemed to sweep away everything in his path. He was precisely the Two-headed Devil Dragon Great Emperor, Zhao Yuan.

His gaze pierced through the rolling devil clouds and landed on Huang Xiaolong and the others. When he looked at the small group of people guarding the treasure, the first thing he saw was the Flying Devil Python.

Since it had already returned to its true form, the Flying Devil Python hovered in the air with its mountain-like body. Its eyes were like two giant bottomless pools as it met Zhao Yuan’s gaze.

As soon as Zhao Yuan stared into its eyes, he jumped in shock. “Flying Devil Python!”

The Flying Devil Python was the Heavenless Archdevil Lord’s mount, and as the number one expert in the Kingdom of Devil Beasts, Zhao Yuan was more than clear about its ident.i.ty.

Even though it had been several hundreds of millions of years since he had last met the Flying Devil Python, he recognized it instantly. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected to meet the Flying Devil Python under these circ.u.mstances.

Of course, the desire to subdue the Flying Devil Python soon rose in his heart as a crafty light flashed through Zhao Yuan’s eyes.

He knew that the Flying Devil Python possessed terrifying strength. However, he was confident in himself, and he wanted nothing more than to test out his strength.

It was too bad he recognized the person beside the Flying Devil Python the instant he laid eyes on him. Zhao Yuan’s body started to shake as he felt a bolt of lightning slamming into his mind. This… this…

“Father, what’s wrong?” Zhao Rou happened to step onto the s.h.i.+p’s deck and saw Zhao Yuan’s weird behavior, and a trace of suspicion arose in her heart.

Many ancestors of the Two-headed Devil Dragon Empire followed behind her.

“It’s the Flying Devil Python and Cang Mutian!” Zhao Yuan hesitated for a second before forcing a bitter smile on his face.

“What?! Isn’t the Flying Devil Python the Heavenless Archdevil Lord’s mount?”

“Cang Mutian! The strongest person in our Kingdom of Devil Beasts!”

The faces of Zhao Rou and the ancestors changed in an instant.

“That’s strange… The Heavenless Archdevil Lord and Cang Mutian had no relations.h.i.+p in the past. In fact, there was some beef between them… Why are they standing on the same side now?” Zhao Rou asked.

As the question left Zhao Rou’s lips, her gaze s.h.i.+fted slightly and landed on the two other individuals behind Cang Mutian. When she saw Huang Xiaolong and the little cow, her eyes widened a little as something in her mind clicked. Her expression changed as she said, “It’s him!”

Everyone stared at the look of disbelief on Zhao Rou’s face, and they stared at each other with a blank look.

Before Zhao Rou could explain herself, Zhao Yuan shook his head and laughed bitterly, “It’s Huang Xiaolong…”

Huang Xiaolong!

Everyone felt their pupils constricting as they fell into silence.

“Old Ancestor Azure Cow is present as well…” Zhao Yuan continued.

The look of shock soon turned to one of terror as the blood drained from their faces.

“Father, what do we do now?” Zhao Rou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.

“Let’s head over there first.” Zhao Yuan muttered under his breath. “I’ve known Lord Cang Mutian for quite some time now. Since we are fated to meet, I should pay my respects to him.”

After he spoke, Zhao Yuan ordered for the flying s.h.i.+p to stop as he personally led the experts under him towards Huang Xiaolong and the rest.

When the cultivators from the mult.i.tude of factions behind him saw what was happening, they couldn’t help but feel suspicious. Luckily for them, several old ancestors who were in the Sovereign Realm managed to recognize the Flying Devil Python, Cang Mutian, and the little cow. When they eventually guessed the ident.i.ty of the young man they were standing around, the color on their faces disappeared.

“Old Ancestor, do we keep going?” One of the ancestors of the Sin Devil Sect probed when he saw the hesitation on their old ancestor’s face.

“We’ll wait here. Let’s wait for the Two-headed Devil Dragon Great Emperor to deal with them.” The old ancestor thought about it for a second before making the decision.

Even if he was a Sovereign, there was no way for him to contend against existences such as Huang Xiaolong and the others! His scalp numbed when he saw the monsters they would be going up against.

As such, the ‘entourage’ of experts from the other factions stopped where they were and watched as Zhao Yuan approached Huang Xiaolong.

Very quickly, Zhao Yuan and the others arrived before Huang Xiaolong.

Zhao Yuan took several steps forwards as he bowed to Cang Mutian, “Zhao Yuan greets Lord Cang Mutian!” He quickly turned to Huang Xiaolong and the others as he continued his greeting, “I greet Your Majesty, the King of h.e.l.l, and Your Majesty, Lord Demon!”

Huang Xiaolong jumped onto the little cow’s back as he made his way towards Zhao Yuan.

When Huang Xiaolong started to move, Zhao Yuan’s heart froze.

Cang Mutian chuckled in response, “Zhao Yuan, long time no see! It seems like you managed to become an overlord!”

“Junior barely managed to break through in the past…” Zhao Yuan continued respectfully, “Even though I managed to become an overlord, I will never be able to defeat Lord Mutian…”

Seeing as Zhao Yuan had already lowered himself, Cang Mutian brought out a smile as he said, “Zhao Yuan, I know the reason you came so far. However, we need to obtain this origin treasure. I hope that you can take your leave. We’ll not move against you as long as you take your troops ten billion miles away.”

Zhao Yuan swept his gaze over to the Thirty-Six Petaled Green Lotus, and a look of desire burned in his eyes when he noticed the jade-green glow around it.

“Yes… You won’t have to worry about me.” Zhao Yuan paused for a second before saying, “We shall leave immediately.” Even though he couldn’t tell what kind of origin treasure they were protecting, he knew that it was definitely a level three origin treasure or higher.

Of course, he also knew that he couldn’t fight against Huang Xiaolong and the others for the origin treasure. At least, he wouldn’t be able to do it alone. No matter how unresigned he was, he could only choose to leave.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, Zhao Yuan led his troops away and only stopped when they were at a distance of ten billion miles.

A feeling of disappointment swept through their hearts as they had thought that they would be able to fish in the muddy waters when Zhao Yuan clashed with Huang Xiaolong and the others.

After Zhao Yuan left, no one dared to approach Huang Xiaolong’s group.

Soon, the Heaven Punishment Archdevil Ancestor and the others arrived. After greeting Huang Xiaolong and the others, they quickly retreated ten billion miles away.

Huang Xiaolong brought out the Ancient Heavenly Court as he poured his energy to activate its grand formation. In an instant, starlight fell and covered the area of a billion miles around him.

If anyone wanted to cause trouble, they would have to get through the Ancient Heavenly Court’s defenses.

Huang Xiaolong knew that he had to be prepared for anything.

When the Thirty-Six Petaled Green Lotus completed its transformation in two days, there might even be some hidden monster making a move.

A day quickly pa.s.sed.

Rays of green light swirled around the lotus, and waves of fragrance permeated the surroundings.

It was too bad it couldn’t escape the protective barrier of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Despite that, its brilliance had already shocked all the experts who had retreated outside the barrier.

“Could it be a high-level three origin treasure?!”

“Even if it isn’t, it is infinitely close to one!”

Several old monsters in the area felt their hearts shaking when they thought of the possibility.

Huang Xiaolong’s Sovereign’s will swept outwards suddenly, and he quickly grasped the situation. A sneer formed on his face as the tiny chaos axe broke through s.p.a.ce and appeared before the hidden experts. A miserable cry reverberated through the air as several old monsters, who were hiding close to the Ancient Heavenly court’s barrier, slammed towards the ground.

When the experts who were cooking up their plans saw the corpses of the hidden old monsters, they couldn’t help but pause for a second. Fear gripped their hearts as they suppressed their feelings of greed .

Every single one of the people Huang Xiaolong had turned into corpses was a Sovereign who had existed since the Heavenless Archdevil Lord’s time. There were both First and Second Order Sovereigns among them! Not a single one of them had managed to block a single attack from Huang Xiaolong!
