Chapter 4 - Death's Domain

The red energy coiled around his right arm to form a twisted and oversized red dragon claw with hints of darkness flickering about. Long Yang slashed his claw sideways, swatting at the servant stepping on his grandfather.

The servant was unprepared for the sudden attack and was sent flying into the wall of the restaurant creating a human-sized dent along with many cracks in the wall.

The servant started coughing out blood uncontrollably. "You… little… SHIT!" The air around the servant thickened slightly as orange light emerged, covering his entire body. "Argh!" He pried himself free from the wall, a vicious glint in his eyes.

He started pounding on his chest with his fists back and forth, "hou, hou, HOU!" A shockwave emitted outwards as an orange-furred ape appeared beside him. The ape was very slim and not too bulky like normal gorillas, instead, it had very long arms and sharp nails. It had a very mischievous grin on its face and a mean glare.

"Go! Longarm Evil Ape, I want his head!" The ape pounced and ran at Long Yang on all fours. It stopped abruptly and swung its long right arm at Long Yang. But instead of fleeing or backing off, Long Yang stood his ground. As the arm neared him, the ape starting laughing in a high pitched unpleasant voice.

The laughing stopped, instead of hitting its target, its arm was grabbed by Long Yang. The ape tried to free itself from Long Yang's grasp but it couldn't. The ape swung its other arm but it was grabbed as well.

The ape started shrieking, it tried to back off, pushing its feet repeatedly against the ground but Long Yang didn't budge. He started to spin the ape around by the arms. After, he threw the ape at the servant smashing both back into the wall.

The ape got back up along with the servant. "Nnngh! Ape! We'll both attack him at the same time!"

The servant covered in an orange light ran at Long Yang with his ape beside him.

The red light on Long Yang's body ignited, the light burst outward like fire. Instead of a bright red, the flames were an eerie dark black. His dragon wings darkened as well, causing Long Yang to be devoid of any color besides black.

His eyes turned dark black, the phantom of a jet black dragon appeared behind him for a split second before vanishing.

Long Yang spoke out in a deep, majestic voice not belonging to him, "inferior monkeys, to dare stand in my presence and even attempt to assault me, the demonic dragon king! I sentence you to death!"

A field of darkness expanded outwards with Long Yang as the center.

"Hmm!?! Young master, get back!" The old man behind Long Wei grabbed him and hopped backward. The field of darkness barely missing the two.

As for the servant and his ape, they were unable to stop their momentum and was struck by the expanding darkness.

There was stillness, no sound could be heard. The field of darkness vanished as if it was never there.

Suddenly, cracks appeared on the still servant and ape. The cracks spread all over their body until they shattered. Their bodies disintegrated into dust.

The old man started glowing dark grey, his qi at the soul strengthening realm. Beside him, appeared a flood dragon who quickly shrunk down to the size of a python to fit in the store.

The flood dragon instantly started hissing in defense as if it was scared of Long Yang. It kept squirming around nervously and hid behind the old man.

The old man had a look of disbelief, he started sweating as he looked at the child in front of him cloaked in darkness. 'My flood dragon spirit soul is a tier 3 earth grade spirit soul! Not even a tier 9 earth grade spirit soul can cause my flood dragon to act like this! That can only mean that this child's spirit soul is a heaven grade spirit soul! The turbulent emotions that he felt must have forcefully awakened it. No wonder he could kill and obliterate the foundation establishment servant with no cultivation at all.'

His old, wrinkled face twisted in regret and anger. 'That stupid servant, he made a talent with a heaven grade spirit soul antagonistic towards our Long clan over some f*cking noodles! Ahhhhh, in the entire history of our Rising Dragon city, only the city ancestor had a heaven grade spirit soul!' The old man didn't realize that he could have easily stopped the servant earlier but didn't and blamed it all on the now dead servant.

He sighed, 'thankfully, the kid is still young. Even with a heaven grade spirit soul, without cultivation, there is no way he will stand a chance against me.' He looked behind him and his flood dragon was still quivering, clearly in no state to fight. He recalled it and it vanished.

'Now that he's antagonistic towards our clan, I have no choice but to kill him or else who wonders what he will do to our clan in the future.' The old man leaped into action.
