Chapter 2227: Might be a Supreme Expert (1/2)
The initially dim lighting bead finally started to emit a faint glow after absorbing the lightning qi in the air. Even though the light surrounding it was extremely faint, Huang Xiaolong could feel that the main formation in the lightning bead was coming back to life.
A trace of joy flashed across his heart as he continued to soar deeper into the lightning grounds.
The deeper he went, the purer and denser the lightning qi in the air became. The lightning bead’s recovery speed increased accordingly.
The higher the number of lightning threads entered the bead, the deeper he went.
At the borders of the lightning grounds, the lightning qi that entered the bead was as thin as a thread of silk. The deeper he went, the thicker it became. When he traveled for an entire day, the thickness of the lightning qi was comparable to a thick rope!
The sky started to darken, but Huang Xiaolong didn’t plan to stop for a break. He urged the Six Eyed Ice Lion to continue flying towards the depths of the lightning grounds.
Even though he wasn’t sure of the Lightning Dragon Divine Fruit’s location, he was pretty certain that it wouldn’t be located anywhere near the borders of the lightning grounds. Without sufficient lightning qi, there was no chance of the fruits maturing at all.
As Huang Xiaolong made his way towards the depths of the lighting grounds, cries of help entered his ears.
“This voice…” The figure of a certain person flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes when he heard the voice.
“Zhang Wenyue!”
Jumping off the Six Eyed Ice Lion, Huang Xiaolong tore through the dense lightning qi in the air to charge towards the source of the voice.
Before long, he saw several figures rushing towards him. They cut a sorry sight, and it was precisely Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and their father, Prince Qian. There was a group of experts chasing behind them with sinister expressions on their faces.
Among the bunch of experts, there were members of the Jinyuan Kingdom, Lightning Soaring Kingdom, and even people from the Beast Emperor Sect!
Huang Xiaolong widened his eyes in shock.
Never in his wildest imaginations would he have thought that there would be so many experts after Zhang Wenyue and the others!
Since the chase had started, various experts from the Prince Qian Manor were already killed, and only the three of them had remained.
Upon seeing that they were about to land into the hands of their pursuers, a look of despair filled their faces.
“Yue’er, Chen’er, I was wrong! I caused this to happen…” The Prince Qian’s grievous voice rang through the air.
Zhang Wanyue shook her head, but she didn’t utter a word. Sadness flashed through her eyes.
All of a sudden, the somber look in her eyes changed as it was replaced by an incredulous expression. She opened her eyes wide as she stared into the distance.
Prince Qian and her brother couldn’t help but look in the same direction.
“Young Master Huang!” Zhang Wanyue exclaimed in shock when she noticed his presence.
A complicated look appeared on the faces of the father and son duo when they realized that it was Huang Xiaolong.
“Young Master Huang, hurry up and leave!” Zhang Wenyue screamed as she was afraid he wouldn’t be able to hear her warning! “Young Master Huang, you have to leave now!”
Huang Xiaolong was stunned for a second. He swept his gaze across everyone who was chasing them and he realized that she was afraid he would be dragged down along with them.
When he realized that she was concerned for him, a smile couldn’t help but form on his face. Out of the several odd hundred people chasing them down, the strongest was only at the Tenth Order Emperor Realm.
If this was before he left the Prince Qian Manor, he might not have been able to challenge a Tenth Order Emperor. However, things had changed since then. After recovering a part of his strength, he was no longer the injured man he once was.
