Chapter 474: ‘Little Worm’ (2/2)

“So, it’s a little worm from the Nine Dragons Temple.” Huang Xiaolong retorted, sneering at Ao Shen.

The Nine Dragons Temple’s nine hall masters were originally sea dragons. Despite being looked upon as one of the Dragon Clan’s descendants, their bloodline wasn’t pure enough, especially when compared to someone like Huang Xiaolong who had refined eight primordial divine dragons and fused with the Dragon Pearl. Therefore, they could only be considered worms crawling on the ground.

This Nine Dragons Temple knew very well that the ex-Lion Tribe Young Patriarch Jesse was wanted by the beastmen tribes, but the Nine Dragons Temple openly declared that Jesse was under their protection. This was tantamount to slapping the beastmen tribes’ face, not putting the new Beast God Huang Xiaolong in their eyes!

He had planned to make a trip to the Nine Dragons Temple a few days later, after the things here were settled, but he didn’t expect to run into someone from the Nine Dragons Temple here.

Worm?! It was like someone cast a spell over the hall, one could hear the drop of a needle.

Everyone who heard Huang Xiaolong’s words watched with intrigue while the five other people started to gloat. From their perspective, a young’un from the human race only had one predictable end provoking the Nine Dragons Temple’s Sixth Hall Master, Ao Shen.

Grand Elder Celine was dumbstruck looking at Huang Xiaolong. Didn’t she just tell him that this middle-aged man was the Nine Dragons Temple’s Sixth Hall Master? But this young human actually treated her words as passing wind?

Even their Elf Queen treated the Nine Dragons Temple with courtesy.

Ao Shen was stunned, despite quickly regaining his senses, he still wore an obvious expression of disbelief from what he heard. The other side… what did he just say? Little worm?!

Ao Shen jumped to his feet, killing intent soared sky high, laced with surging beastly aura.

“Death seeking punk!” Ao Shen’s eyes narrowed, about to attack.

“Sixth Hall Master, cease your anger!” Grand Elder Celine cried out anxiously. “This Young Noble is an honored guest invited by our Queen, please give our Queen face and don’t take offense.”

She was aware that this Nine Dragons Temple Sixth Hall Master had always admired their Queen, which was why she used the Queen’s name. Just like she expected, hearing that he was invited by the Elf Queen, the monstrous killing intent was gradually repressed.

Ao Shen pointed at Huang Xiaolong, his eyes like a violent undercurrent beneath a calm surface, “Fine, I shall give face to the Elf Queen. If this kid crawls around the hall like a worm, and kneels until this whole thing ends, I will spare his life!”

Since Huang Xiaolong wasn’t qualified to sit with them, he should just kneel.

Celine turned to Huang Xiaolong with a troubled expression, “Young Noble, this, you…?”

Yes, the strength Huang Xiaolong displayed three years ago indeed surprised her, but nonetheless, in Celine’s eyes, this young man was not Ao Shen’s opponent. For a peak late-Ninth Order Saint realm Ao Shen, killing Huang Xiaolong would be an easy matter.

However, Huang Xiaolong shook his head smilingly at Ao Shen, “Giving face to the Elf Queen, if you crawl out from the hall like the little worm that you are, I shall consent to spare your life.”

Shock could not describe the look on everyone’s faces staring at Huang Xiaolong.

“You! Even if the Elf Queen pleads on your behalf, you must die!!” Snapping back to his senses, Ao Shen let out an angry roar, his body disappearing in a blur. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Huang Xiaolong, slamming out a hard fist.

Grand Elder Celine face became ashen, it was already too late for her stop Ao Shen, she could only watch from the side as Ao Shen’s fist came in contact with Huang Xiaolong’s chest.

A muffled blast rang.

Celine closed her eyes, unwilling to watch Huang Xiaolong’s lifeless limp body crash to the ground.

However, she was baffled the next moment. It grew quiet after the initial muffled collision, no miserable screams, no heavy thump of a body thrown to the ground.

Moreover, the hall was filled with an eerie silence that could be felt even with her eyes closed.

‘What happened?’ Bafflement and curiosity rolled into one, and she opened her eyes. Her jaw dropped in astonishment and incredulity at the scene in front of her eyes.

Huang Xiaolong ignored the agape expressions around. His head was lowered, looking at Ao Shen’s fist on his chest with a stoic face, “This is your strength, worm? Are you trying to scratch an itch for me?”
