Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 76 By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous!

In the past, historical novels often featured stories of peerless generals charging into enemy lines single-handedly, making seven in-and-out runs through the enemy ranks, and taking enemy heads amidst the chaos.

Huang Hong never imagined that he would have such a day.

Huang Hong glanced at the generals' flags that were quickly dodging, and couldn't help but smile slightly. He didn't have any intention of rushing over to seize the flags and kill the generals.

Huang Hong transformed into a road roller, leaving corpses strewn everywhere he went. With his current strength, ordinary soldiers would be injured or killed if they were touched by him, just like delicate porcelain that would shatter at the slightest touch.

At first, the soldiers bravely tried to intercept him, and young officers would occasionally jump out to take down this audacious madman.

But when Huang Hongchong had charged one-third of the way through the formation, the soldiers hesitated and dared not advance. Even when tempted by high positions and generous rewards, they remained indecisive. When Huang Hongchong had charged two-thirds of the way through the formation, all the soldiers feared him as if he were a ghost or a god.

Therefore, Huang Hong walked the last third of the journey with great ease.

When he arrived at the pass, the fighting had already ceased, all the soldiers had retreated far away, and those standing on the ten-meter-high city wall of the pass were silently watching him, waiting for his next move.

Huang Hong did not move; he stood quietly in place, his back to the 100,000-strong army.

At this moment, Huang Hong was enveloped in a fierce aura, so intense that it seemed to be taking shape.

In Huang Hong's perception, this malevolent aura was somewhat similar to the Grandmaster's realm, but in essence, it was completely different. Moreover, without him engaging in combat or killing, this malevolent aura began to slowly dissipate.

After a moment of contemplation, Huang Hong came to his senses, opened his eyes, and then suddenly exerted force with his feet, rushing towards the pass wall like an arrow. He leaped five meters high, inserted his arms into the wall, and with another burst of strength, jumped onto the top of the wall.

Faced with the city wall guards who instinctively wanted to attack him, Huang Hong unleashed his fierce aura to intimidate them, and then said in a deep voice, "I am not an enemy. Have your leader come to see me, and I may be able to help you get out of your current predicament."

The guards exchanged bewildered glances. After a moment, a junior officer stepped forward and demanded, "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

Huang Hong patiently said, "You don't need to know who I am. As for my purpose, didn't I just say that I'm here to help you get out of your predicament?"

The young general's eyes flashed with malice, and he was about to draw the weapon from his waist.

Huang Hong calmly replied, "Kid, think carefully about the consequences before you act. The fact that I'm standing here and talking to you peacefully already shows my sincerity."

The young general stared intently at Huang Hong, but even though he clenched his knuckles until they turned white, he couldn't draw the sword from his waist.

After staring at each other for a long time, the young general exhaled and slowly relaxed. With his movement, the tense atmosphere on the city wall gradually eased.

The young man said, "Outsider, come with me, but I must warn you, if you lie to me, you will bear the consequences."

Huang Hong ignored these words that were almost defiant.

The young general did not leave immediately, but first consulted with another person before leading Huang Hong down the city wall.

After many twists and turns, the two arrived at a small town in the mountains...?

Huang Hong was truly surprised to find a bustling town in such a desolate place, with at least four or five thousand people, judging by its size.

As Huang Hong scanned the area, he noticed that the proportion of martial artists in the town was quite high, but that was all; the vast majority of people were still the elderly, weak, women, and children who were powerless.

Seeing this, Huang Hong finally understood the predicament of the Yuan Dou Huang Quan.

Before long, the two arrived at the town center, where there were already six or seven people arguing fiercely, seemingly unable to convince each other.

When Huang Hong saw them, he could immediately sense powerful auras; these people were all martial arts masters!

In the center of them sat a gaunt old man who looked unremarkable, but Huang Hong, who often spent time with Xie Juxia, could vaguely sense a hidden power emanating from the old man, which was most likely a Grandmaster-level expert!

Huang Hong did not try to hide himself, so his arrival immediately attracted the attention of those people.

One of them questioned angrily, "Xiao Chen, why did you bring an outsider here?!"

The young man quickly explained, "Elder Ye, this outsider said he can help us solve our problem."

Elder Ye scoffed and said, "Little Chen, have you lost your mind?! You believe everything you hear?!"

The young general opened his mouth, unsure how to respond. He had witnessed Huang Hong charging into the enemy formation alone, and with that recognition of Huang Hong's strength, Huang Hong's words naturally carried more weight in his mind.

The problem is, these elders don't know that.

Just as the young man was about to explain the situation, another voice rang out: "Hey, Mr. Ye, you're a guest from afar, why make things difficult for a junior?"

Elder Ye scoffed, "Guests from afar? You, surnamed Ma, are you senile? How about we let in hundreds of thousands of troops from outside so you can properly entertain these guests?!"

Elder Ma snorted, but before he could retort, the old man who had been silent all along tapped his cane, and immediately all the elders fell silent.

The old man slowly glanced at the crowd and said, "With outsiders present, you can still start arguing? What kind of behavior is this!"

Faced with the old man's admonition, the elders dared not say more and could only listen respectfully.

At this moment, the old man looked at Huang Hong and said, "I am Liu Yuan, the current leader of the Yuan Dou Huang Fist. May I ask who you are, young friend...?"

Huang Hong no longer concealed his identity, clasped his hands and said, "Southern Dipper Flowing Cloud Fist, Huang Hong."

Liu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "So you are Xie Juxia's last disciple. My apologies for my disrespect."

Huang Hong hadn't expected his reputation to have spread so far, but he didn't mind. Instead, he said, "I'm here on my own behalf, and it has nothing to do with my sect."

Liu Yuan remained noncommittal, saying, "Young friend Huang, since you claim you can help us resolve this trouble, please elaborate."

Huang Hong laughed and said, "It's very simple. Those people outside, whether they are the six warlords or other powerful figures, are all here for that thing. As long as Yuan Dou Huang Quan hands that thing over to me, all the problems will be solved naturally."

As soon as Huang Hong finished speaking, the elders all showed ugly expressions, and their gazes toward Huang Hong were filled with hostility.

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "No matter what rumors you've heard, I can only say that we don't have what you're looking for here. So please leave."

Huang Hong did not respond, but instead looked past the old man and at a small house behind him.

From the perspective of the enhanced vision, a fist-sized, square object was placed in the center of the small house, emitting a white light. But deep within this white light, a deep purple hue was hidden!

Without needing any evidence, Huang Hong immediately realized that this was what he was looking for on this trip.

The moment Huang Hong saw it, he heard a whisper that sounded like a demon's...

"By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous!"
