Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 500 – Welcome to Qingmu City

Azurewood City.

Completely unlike the desolate wasteland of Blue Star, this place was bustling with activity.

The corpses of a million Mutated Beasts had long since been cleared away.

In the massive plaza, Crystals were piled up like mountains, refracting a kaleidoscope of colors under the sunlight.

Heavy trucks rumbled low as they transported the sorted Crystals of various grades in an endless stream toward the eastern military factory.

Copperbeard and his apprentices were working day and night, converting these pure energy blocks into rows of brand-new Crystal rifles, heavy cannons, and even more terrifying Rune weapons.

“Hurry! Move faster!”

“The next batch of weapons must be delivered to Lord Long Teng’s garrison before dark!”

Su Yue stood atop the city wall, holding a high-powered telescope, calmly directing the overall situation.

Beside her, Su Xiaoxiao clutched a data tablet, nervously recording the flow of every single supply.

Lin Fan wasn’t there.

But the operational system she had left behind efficiently digested what should have been a catastrophic Tidal wave of beasts into nourishment for their own growth.

Just then, the massive Teleportation Array from White Bone Pass at the center of the plaza began to hum once more.

Space rippled like water.

“Second wave!”

The alarm on the city wall blared instantly.

Long Teng, Long Yi, and Long Yan—three Rank 8 Powerhouses—had been waiting for some time. They hovered in a triangular formation above the Teleportation Array, their auras as heavy and still as mountains.

The light gate burst open.

Nearly three hundred Demi-human warriors of all shapes and sizes poured out.

They were all conscripts gathered from across the Dragon Spirit Continent, faces brimming with greed and excitement at the prospect of “harvesting” Blue Star.

“Hahaha, grab it all quick!”

A Bearman commander at the peak of Rank 6, carrying a massive battle-axe, looked around and locked his gaze onto the mountain of Crystals. His breathing instantly grew ragged.

“We’re rich! This is all ours!”

The several hundred Demi-human warriors behind him had green light gleaming in their eyes, ready to charge forward and loot everything.

“Annoying.”

Long Yi didn’t even lift his eyelids. He simply flicked a finger.

A bolt of condensed, dark-golden energy shot through the air.

Before the greed on the Bearman commander’s face could even fade, his head burst apart with a loud “bang.”

Like a smashed watermelon.

Red and white splattered all over the faces of those around him.

Dead silence fell over the entire scene.

Every Demi-human warrior froze in place, their fervor replaced by icy terror.

Long Yi’s dark-golden Vertical pupils slowly swept across the crowd.

The terrifying pressure of a peak Rank 8 powerhouse crashed down like a tsunami.

“Thud! Thud!”

All three hundred warriors—each at least at the peak of Rank 5—not a single one could remain standing. They dropped to their knees in unison, trembling like leaves in a storm.

Before absolute Bloodline and rank suppression, any thought of resistance was nothing short of blasphemy.

“Anyone else want to get rich?”

Long Yi’s voice was soft, yet it reached every ear with perfect clarity.

No one dared to answer.

“Good.”

Long Yan stepped forward, his voice booming.

“All prisoners, drop your weapons. Form up by race and await reorganization.”

“Anyone who dares to make a move—death without mercy!”

These conscripts, who had been strutting around with their noses in the air just moments ago, now behaved like obedient sheep. Under the watch of Azurewood City’s garrison, they were reduced to the cheapest labor force imaginable.

Yet this effortless suppression did nothing to ease Long Yi’s or Long Teng’s minds.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity reflected in the other’s eyes.

The Tidal wave of beasts was cannon fodder.

The rabble soldiers were cannon fodder too.

The real enemy was coming.

And sure enough.

Just half an hour later, the Teleportation Array that had just settled erupted with light ten times more intense than before, without any warning!

The entire Space Gate twisted violently as a terrifying, murderous aura surged forth—utterly different from the two ragtag groups that had come earlier.

Fifty figures stepped out of the light gate in perfectly synchronized strides.

Without exception, they wore pitch-black Dragon Scale heavy armor, their faces cold and stern, their gazes sharp as blades.

Every single one of them exuded an aura firmly standing at the threshold of seventh-level Pureblood.

The one at the lead had reached the peak of the seventh level.

Unlike the earlier rabble, they did not glance around.

The moment they appeared, they formed an offensive-and-defensive battle formation, their sharp eyes locking onto Long Yi and the other two hovering in the air.

Their commander, Long Jie, swept a glance over the kneeling Demi-human prisoners below and the mountain of Crystals, his brow furrowing slightly.

But when his gaze finally landed on Long Yi and Long Teng, his pupils abruptly contracted.

“Long Yi?!”

A stifled gasp rippled through the Pureblood Dragon Clan guards behind him.

“And… the lord of Border Dragon City, Long Teng!”

Rеαd οո КаtRеαdіոɡСαfе

These two names represented the two greatest rebellions in Dragon Clan history.

One was the branch-line leader who had stirred up chaos over a decade ago.

The other was a Pureblood city lord who had openly defied the Council of Elders just weeks earlier.

Why were they here?!

Long Jie’s face turned incomparably grim in an instant.

Now he understood.

Why, despite several waves having already been sent through before them, they had not seen a single one of their own upon arrival.

This was no weak and easily bullied Blue Star.

This was a trap set long in advance!

“What an unexpected delight.”

Long Yi licked his lips, his dark-golden eyes brimming with bloodthirsty battle lust.

“I thought I’d have to wait a few days before some Pureblood came knocking.”

“Form up!”

Long Jie wasted no words, nor did he entertain any thought of single combat.

He remembered all too well the grievous price the Pureblood Dragon Clan’s personal guard had paid when they had hunted down Long Yi all those years ago.

The three before him were far beyond what the fifty of them could contend with.

“Hum—”

The fifty seventh-level Pureblood Dragon Clan members activated their Bloodline without hesitation.

Fifty colossal dragons, each over fifty meters in length, materialized instantly above Azurewood City, blotting out the sky.

They did not attack immediately.

Following an ancient battle formation sequence, they swiftly assembled into a massive defensive array, weaving Dragon Breath and Mental Strength into a net to shield themselves firmly.

“Long Feng!”

Long Jie roared from the center of the formation.

“Your task is not to fight! It’s to break out!”

“Return to the Dragon Emperor Hall at maximum speed!”

“Tell the Grand Elder! Tell His Majesty the Dragon Emperor!”

“Long Yi and Long Teng are nesting in Azurewood City, rallying rebels!”

“Yes!”

From within the formation, the most agile figure—a cyan wind dragon—let out a piercing cry and beat its wings with tremendous force.

The other forty-nine dragons simultaneously exhaled a torrent of Dragon Breath.

Not to attack.

That breath transformed into a colossal propulsive force, slamming violently into the back of the cyan wind dragon!

“Whoosh—”

The cyan wind dragon’s speed was pushed to its absolute limit, turning into a streak of cyan light barely visible to the naked eye. It arced around the front of Long Yi’s trio and shot toward the sky beyond Azurewood City!

“Trying to flee?”

Long Teng’s eyes turned cold as the longsword at his side slid from its sheath.

A silver sword-light a thousand meters long streaked across the sky, slashing toward that bolt of light.

“Don’t even think about it!”

Long Jie led forty-eight colossal dragons in a thunderous roar as they surged forward to meet the attack. The massive battle formation erupted with dazzling brilliance, barely managing to withstand that terrifying sword strike—one capable of splitting mountains apart!

The sword light and the dragon formation collided with an earth-shattering impact.

A violent shockwave of energy instantly swept across all of Azurewood City.

A battle belonging to the Dragon Clan erupted in the blink of an eye!
