Chapter 1790: Is Huang Xiaolong Dead? (1/2)

After two rounds of matches, it was time for the top ten rankings round.

The Grandmist Emperor Palace only had one disciple named Zhao Tong, who had successfully entered the top ten rankings battle.

This Zhao Tong was one of the two strongest disciples of Grandmist Emperor Palace participating in the Battle of the Heavenly Court. Though his strength was slightly lower compared to Li Junhua, the gap was almost negligible.

However, amongst the top ten disciples, Zhao Tong’s strength could only rank at the bottom of the ladder. If it weren’t for Lan Tailong and Li Junhua’s elimination early on due to Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Tong’s strength would have been insufficient to enter the top ten rankings.

Soon, a new round of lots was drawn for the top ten rankings matches.

This time, Huang Xiaolong drew the number three.

And the other person who drew the same number was Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong’s mind went blank, looking at the number in his hand.

Han Qing’s eyes sparkled with a manic gleam, seeing this result. Initially, she had lost all hope, but based on Zhao Tong’s strength, this would be his last match in the top ten. Who’d have thought Zhao Tong’s last opponent would be Huang Xiaolong?

Huang Xiaolong!

Excellent!

Han Qing could barely suppress the elation in her chest.

Huang Xiaolong, even the heavens, want you dead! Don’t blame me!

When Zhao Tong returned to zone one with the number-token in his hand, Han Qing immediately called him to her side. She gave Zhao Tong the Massacre Emperor Bead, and she imprinted the method to activate the runes straight into Zhao Tong’s mind. Like she had done with Li Junhua, she strictly emphasized Zhao Tong in an inviolable tone to activate the Massacre Emperor Bead when he went up to the battle stage.

When Zhao Tong saw the ordinary looking bead in his palm that could annihilate Emperor Realm experts and boom Huang Xiaolong into dust, he was dazed for a second. Then a rush of joy flooded to his eyes.

In the top ten, each higher position promised an even greater reward.

If there was hope, he naturally wanted to advance higher.

Moreover, if he defeated Huang Xiaolong, his reputation would resound throughout the entire Divine World, maybe even reach other great worlds.

“Please rest assured, Ancestor Han Qing.” Zhao Tong quickly reassured Han Qing after accepting the Massacre Emperor Bead.

“Good, you’re doing merit to the Grandmist Emperor Palace by killing Huang Xiaolong!” Hearing Zhao Tong’s guarantee, Han Qing smiled and added, “When we return, the Grandmist Emperor Palace and I would heavily reward you.”

“Xiaolong, you must be extra careful. That Zhao Tong and Grandmist Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Han Qing’s expressions don't seem right.” Just as Huang Xiaolong raised his foot to walk towards battle stage three, Fang Xuanxuan spoke to remind Huang Xiaolong of Zhao Tong and Han Qing’s suspicious behavior. Even though she could not see or hear them, their actions gave her a strong ominous feeling.

“That’s right, ah. Xiaolong, just that Grandmist Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Han Qing seems to have given Zhao Tong something.” Peng Xiao chimed in with a worried expression as she added, “They must be plotting something.”

Huang Xiaolong flashed them a carefree smile. “I know. I will be careful.”

Since Huang Xiaolong seemed to have taken their warning lightly, Peng Xiao summoned the Black Dragon Divine Armor and pushed it to Huang Xiaolong, “Put on this Black Dragon Divine Armor.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded his head and replied, “Alright then.”

In truth, it made no difference to Huang Xiaolong, whether he wore the Black Dragon Divine Armor or not.

He had the Heavenly Hall and City of Eternity protecting his body, even if the opponent had some tricks up their sleeves, they couldn’t kill him.

However, he was reluctant to disappoint the two girls’ good intentions.

Huang Xiaolong accepted the Black Dragon Divine Armor and let it submerge into his body. After that, he strode to battle stage three. At this time, Zhao Tong was already waiting on the battle stage, watching Huang Xiaolong walk over. He couldn’t help himself revealing a jeering sneer. His fingers tightened over the Massacre Emperor Bead in his hand.

As soon as Huang Xiaolong stepped onto the battle stage, he would immediately activate the Massacre Emperor Bead.
