“The plan is to storm the castle, then move as fast as possible into Farlance and eliminate those bloodlings. It’s convenient now that they’ve gathered together,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
“You all just arrived. Rest for a while, and we’ll move out later. The firearms that I’ve ordered will take some time to arrive too.”
“Firearms?”
“Ha! I didn’t know you were coming when I ordered them,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
After resting in the hotel for a few hours, they checked out, boarded the tour bus, and headed toward the countryside.
They met up with the arms dealer in a secluded place and received crates of goods. After that, they headed toward the ancient castle.
The interior of the castle was bright with lights.
Spotlight beams shot out from the roof of the castle and illuminated the surroundings.
Tall and burly men in black suits wielding machine guns were patrolling the perimeter. All of them had grim expressions on their faces.
The atmosphere in the castle was even grimmer.
Six tall and well-built men sat around a table. In front of them were some photographs of a group of Huaxianese stepping out of an airplane.
“This is the second group,” one of the men said hoarsely. “Adding that to the group earlier, there’s about fifty of them. This is… a formidable force. There are many powerful fighters in the group, like this one…”
That person pointed at a photo of Taoist Master Qian Ji.
The other five people were silent when they looked at the photo.
After a long time, someone said, “Fifty people is quite formidable indeed, but it’s not unwinnable. We might stand a chance if all of us lay our lives on the line. The most important question is, is the Dragon of Huaxia here?”
The other people trembled uncontrollably when they heard that name.
That name was truly a terrifying one.
It was the Dragon of Huaxia that had led the Taoist masters into easily eliminating the leaders of the thirteen clans. The feat had shaken the cultivation world.
That was not all. They also heard that the Dragon had gone to Merrica earlier and raised a big commotion. Even the Divine Eagle made an appearance and fought him.
However, they did not manage to kill or subdue him.
If the Dragon was with the Taoist masters, the werewolves did not stand a chance.
Their faces were pale, and their eyes were replete with fear. They also regretted going to Huaxia to cause trouble. If only they knew that someone so powerful would emerge from that country.
Their eyes wandered around the photos of the group, looking for a certain person.
“He shouldn’t be here. The Dragon of Huaxia should be a young man in his twenties, and his face shouldn’t be visible. No one in the group has that characteristic.”
“That’s right. The Dragon wouldn’t appear so easily!”
They took turns to look at the photo and breathed a sigh of relief.
“There’s nowhere for us to run. All we can do now is to gamble with our lives and capture these people. Only then we’ll have a negotiation chip with Huaxia.”
“Let’s fight to the death!”
The six people stood up with grim expressions on their faces.
At that time, gunfire broke out outside.
Tatatat! A stream of machine gunfire.
“They’re here!”
“The Huaxianese are here!”
Roars echoed throughout the castle.
“Awoooo!”
A series of wolf howls echoed in the night sky.
Many figures pounced out of the ancient castle and dashed toward the location of the battle. The gunners also quickly ran there.
The intense battle broke out at the castle entrance.
Both sides traded gunfire. Occasionally, an exploding rocket would sail past the air and land in the crowd.
“Dammit, those whelps pack a lot of heat!” Taoist Master Qian Ji cursed under his breath, then turned to order his people. “Let’s not be thrifty. We’ll throw a few of our jade talismans at them.”
“That is such a waste, Senior Brother!”
“Heh! Are you all idiots? We are fighting for the glory of our nation. How can we hold back? Moreover, Brother Tang is patriotic. He’ll definitely reimburse us!”
He looked at Tang Hao while wearing a knowing smile on his face.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. “Fine! I’ll reimburse the talismans! Quick, throw them!”
The Taoist masters were instantly excited when they heard that.
“You’re a patriotic fellow, Brother Tang!”
“Oh damn! I can finally relive the sensation of tossing jade talismans by the handfuls! Haha, daddy’s comin’, you whelps!”
“Go go go! F*ck them all!”
The Taoist masters shouted excitedly and reached into their sacks to pull out handfuls of jade talismans. They threw the talismans at the werewolves as though they were free.
The cultivators from the Agency were incredibly envious when they saw that.
They had experienced the exhilarating feeling of tossing jade talismans by the handfuls in the last battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The jade talismans exploded and blew the gunners to bits.
“Charge!”
Taoist Master Qian Ji roared excitedly. He was the first one to charge in, while the other Taoist masters followed.
“Awoo!”
The werewolves began to transform. Their eyes shone with a blood-red light and they pounced at the Taoist masters.
The second intense battle had begun.
The people from the six werewolf clans might have the advantage in numbers, but they were not very strong. Most of them were mixed-blood and not even half-blood. Of course, there would not be any full-blooded werewolves.
The Huaxianese side had fewer people, but they were all very powerful, not to mention that they were throwing jade talismans by the handfuls.
The tide of battle leaned toward the Huaxianese Taoist masters.
“Awoo!”
Another wave of wolf howls shook the castle, and more figures pounced outward. From their intimidating qi auras, they were half-blood and full-blood werewolves.
“Die, Huaxianese!”
An old but hulking werewolf pounced as his roars shook the earth. He dashed at an incredible speed and brandished his claws toward a cultivator from the Agency.
The sharp claws were about to pierce through his chest. It would draw blood in the very next second.
However, at that time, someone from the back grunted, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket was fired at the werewolf.
The old werewolf wailed in agony, then flew backward and landed on the ground.
Everyone fell silent at that instant.
The werewolves stood frozen on the spot.
The werewolf that had just been defeated was one of their strongest, and his power should be equal to the strongest of the Taoist masters. How was he defeated in one attack?
Who could have fired that lightning bolt?
Their eyes turned to look toward the back row of the Huaxia forces.
When they saw clearly who it was, their faces turned pale and they trembled violently in fear.
A figure walked toward the werewolves. His body was straight and he looked young. Most strange of all, his face could not be seen clearly.
“Dragon! It’s the Dragon of Huaxia!”
Someone managed to overcome the fear using all his strength and yelled out. His face was already extremely contorted.
Chapter 532 - : Attack of the Warlocks
“That’s really the Dragon?”
“Oh my god! Why is he here?”
The people were wailing and screaming. Confusion and despair soon spread through the werewolf forces.
They were not elites, and they stood no chance against the Dragon of Huaxia.
The werewolves were sorrowful. “Huaxinese
!” They roared, “You have killed so many of our people. Is that not enough? Must you eliminate every last one of us?”
Tang Hao replied coldly, “It’s too late to regret what you did to us. All of you deserve to die!”
He waved his hand, and the Taoist masters replied with a loud “Kill!”
They charged forward with high spirits.
The opponents stood no chance.
It was a one-sided battle that ended in about ten minutes.
Corpses of werewolves and debris littered the entrance of the ancient castle.
Tang Hao stood at the archway with an emblem of a wolf head that marked the castle entrance. He smirked coldly, then lifted his hand and threw a jade talisman that blew the wolf head into bits.
“Damn, that felt good!’ The Taoist masters were still excited as they walked toward Tang Hao.
“You can’t believe how brazen those whelps used to be! They’ve been causing so much trouble in Huaxia. Now that we’ve wiped out six of their clans, let’s see if the others dare to step into Huaxia,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
“Alright, let’s go to Farlance and kick those bloodlings’ *sses!”
Taoist Master Qian Ji shouted and led the people into the tour buses, which headed toward Farlance.
…
A mountain somewhere in Europe.
The mountain was rather peculiar in appearance. It was tall, majestic, and entirely black. On top of it was a series of towers with tapered spires.
Those were warlock towers. The mountain was named Black Mountain, the home base of European warlocks.
A group of elderly warlocks was gathered in a meeting in a room on Black Mountain.
“This is ridiculous. Ridiculous!”
An elderly warlock slammed the table and roared furiously. His face was red out of anger.
“Those Huaxianese are too arrogant. Who do they think they are? Do they think they can go in and out of Europe as they please?
“Humiliation! This is a great humiliation!
“Don’t any of you feel shame?”
The elderly warlock slammed the table repeatedly as he spoke.
The other warlocks furrowed their brows. They also had indignant expressions on their faces.
The werewolves and vampires were their ancient rivals, but Europe was nonetheless their territory. Without their permission, how dare the Huaxianese come in and kill their people? That was utter humiliation!
“If we don’t teach them a proper lesson now, they’ll definitely come back. The pride of Black Mountain shall not be challenged!”
“We’ll teach the Huaxianese a lesson. Show them the extent of our power!”
“Black Mountain does not tolerate intruders!”
The elderly warlock eventually jumped on the table and yelled agitatedly.
“That’s right! We’ll teach the Huaxianese a lesson!” The other warlocks were riled up too. They were also shouting.
Morale among the warlocks was running high.
At that time, someone spoke up timidly, “But… have you all forgotten that the Dragon of Huaxia is here?”
The room immediately fell silent.
The warlocks who were waving their arms and yelling slogans froze on the spot. They put their hands down sheepishly.
“Ah, I don’t feel too well lately! My back is sore, and my chest is tight. These old bones won’t be much use on the battlefield. How about the rest of you go?”
“Oh no! I suddenly feel dizzy…”
Each one of them started pretending to be sick.
“How about… we call it off? So what if the Huaxianese are here and we lose our pride? We’ve already lost our pride a long time ago anyway,” an elderly warlock said sorrowfully.
The other warlocks also seemed sorrowful.
They remembered the times when Black Mountain used to be the number one authority of the European cultivation world. However, a traitor stole the Witch’s Heart, went to Merrica, and started White Mountain.
That was the beginning of the decline of Black Mountain.
“Sigh!” The warlocks collectively sighed.
The earlier warlock said angrily, “Why are we afraid? So what about the Dragon? Does he dare to challenge Black Mountain? He’s not even here. See for yourself.”
He took out a stack of photos and tossed them on the table.
“Look at these. They’re the Huaxianese who landed at the airport. Is the Dragon here? Most of them are those stinky Taoist masters. They’re at least sixty years old. The other people are also at least middle-aged.”
The people looked closely at the photos and became excited.
“Looks like the Dragon isn’t here! We can still fight!”
An elderly warlock said excitedly while slapping his thigh.
Another warlock looked at the photos one more time, and his gaze fell on one of the photos.
The photo was of a young man in a black suit, the same as the Taoist masters.
He wore shades and a hat, which obscured his face.
The warlock furrowed his brows, thinking that something was amiss.
However, he could not exactly say what was wrong.
“How about this guy?” He pointed to the figure in the photo to the other warlocks.
The other warlocks laughed when they saw the photo.
“Ha, he’s just a kid! He’s probably an intern of the Taoist masters or something, or maybe he’s just a tourist. Why, don’t tell me you think that he’s actually the Dragon?”
Everyone laughed merrily after that.
“Haha, what a joke! How can a brat like that be the Dragon? Haven’t you heard that the Dragon of Huaxia is in his twenties? This kid looks like a teenager at most!”
“Impossible! Truly impossible!”
The other warlocks said confidently while laughing.
“Well… I guess so. He’s too young! I’ve worried too much!” The elderly warlock mumbled.
“This is the best chance for us to stop the Huaxianese invasion, especially when the Dragon isn’t here!”
“Yeah! Kill them all!”
The warlocks were excited once again.
“Quick, sound the horns! We’re off to Farlance!”
The low boom of a horn could be heard echoing over Black Mountain.
Many warlocks appeared from their towers.
“What’s going on?”
“What? Don’t you know? The Huaxianese are here, and we’re going to teach them a lesson.”
The entire mountain exploded in activity.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Many majestic beasts flapped their wings and rose into the air. They had the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and shining golden feathers.
Those were griffins, the riding beasts of the warlocks.
Each of those beasts carried three or four warlocks.
“Our destination is Farlance. Let’s go!”
An elderly warlock yelled as he stood on one of those griffins. The giant beast under his feet shook its wings, crowed out loud, and rose into the sky.
The other beasts behind it also rose into the sky, flying toward Farlance carrying the warlocks.
Chapter 533 - The Warlocks Are Angered
In a manor somewhere in Farlance.
Tatatat! Gunfire could be heard. An intense battle was raging.
On one side were the combined forces of seven vampire clans. They had the advantage in numbers, but that advantage was sharply reducing under the fierce attack of the Huaxianese forces.
The battle ended in half an hour.
The final vampire was blown into bits.
The manor grounds were full of craters.
“Phew!” The Huaxianese fighters breathed a sigh of relief. They were exhausted from the battle.
“Alright, we’re done. Let’s go home! Right, we should burn this place to the ground first,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
Several Taoist masters went around the manor and started some fires.
&nbs
p; The fires quickly spread and swallowed the manor in flames.
“Alright, it’s finished. Let’s go back and rest for a while. Our flight is in the afternoon. It’s only two o’clock now. We still have more than ten hours to spare.”
“Let’s go! I want to sleep!”
The people headed toward the tour bus.
They heard the flapping of wings as they were about to board the bus. They were shocked and stopped walking.
Tang Hao was also surprised. He lifted his head to look at the sky, and his expression changed.
A pack of majestic winged beasts appeared in the night sky. They swept across the sky under the moonlight. He could see robed figures riding those beasts.
“Dammit, it’s those warlocks!” Taoist Master Qian Ji grumbled.
“Why are they here?”
“That’s not a hard question to answer. Look at them. There are so many people. They’re definitely here to pick a fight with us,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said, “Those bastards have excellent timing. They must have waited for us to be exhausted from the previous battle.”
“So what should we do? Are we fighting them?” A Taoist master asked.
“Of course we’ll f*ck them over. Brother Tang is here. What are we afraid of?”
They were feeling apprehensive about the incoming crowd. There were about thirty or forty griffins in total, and each of them could sit about three or four warlocks. That meant that there were about a hundred warlocks.
They were relieved that Tang Hao was there.
‘Right, Fellow Cultivator Tang is still here! He didn’t expend much of his powers earlier, so his qi reserves are still full. Why are we scared of those warlocks?’
The warlocks soon came near.
“Foolish Huaxianese! Have you forgotten that you’re in warlock territory now? You are challenging the authority of the warlocks.”
A white-haired warlock yelled as he stood on the back of a griffin.
