Corner of Slaughter: Liu Erlong

Corner of Slaughter—Liu Erlong

Watching Tang San neglect food and sleep in the room, Master Yu Xiaogang, as a wise man, could only let out a deep sigh, his expression equally grim.

After all, Tang San was his direct disciple and the one who would inherit his legacy in the future. Yet he had now become like this.

Back when he left Spirit Hall, he had been just as heartbroken. Perhaps it was somewhat similar to Tang San's current state.

Dean Flander pushed up the glasses on his nose and turned, just about to comfort Xiao Gang, when he happened to see Dai Mubai arriving with Lord Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan..."

Dean Flander drew a sharp breath. Not daring to be negligent, he immediately ran over and bowed. "This junior, Flender, greets Lord Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan looked at Flender before him and said with a smile, "It has been a long time. I never expected Shrek Academy to join Blue Tyrant Academy. It seems Dean Flender has quite a few connections."

Dean Flander's expression turned strange. By all logic, there was nothing wrong with those words, but coming from Lord Lin Yuan's mouth, they somehow felt odd.

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang also walked over and bowed unwillingly. "Greetings... Lord Lin Yuan..."

Lin Yuan glanced at Master, not even having the desire to speak with him. He passed directly by him and headed straight for the room where Tang San was.

Seeing Lord Lin Yuan's intentions, Dean Flander immediately ran over and reached out to block his path. "Lord Lin Yuan... this is the room where Little San cultivates. He is at a critical juncture. Please do not disturb him."

"What? I have come to your Shrek Academy, and this is how Shrek Academy treats its guests?"

Lin Yuan questioned him with an indifferent expression.

"This..."

Dean Flander hesitated and instinctively looked toward Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang in the distance, hoping he could say something and make the other party back down.

Just as Master was about to speak and stop Lord Lin Yuan from disrupting Little San's cultivation, crisp footsteps sounded from nearby, accompanied by an extremely angry voice.

"I had long heard that Douluo Continent's youngest Title Douluo was at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I never expected to meet him in person today. It seems I returned at just the right time!"

Lin Yuan stopped and glanced to the side. At the staircase in the distance, a stunningly voluptuous beautiful woman was striding over.

She appeared to be in her thirties, dressed in a simple green cloth skirt. A strip of cloth had tied up a lock of her green hair, while her somewhat pale face possessed delicate, captivating features.

Her brows and eyes were picturesque. Though her large black eyes were somewhat vacant, they still shone with spirit. Beneath that cloth robe was a fiery, perfect figure beyond the reach of ordinary young women.

Lin Yuan turned around, looked at the beautiful woman glaring furiously at him, and smiled with a nod. "If I am not mistaken, you should be Liu Erlong, the Corner of Slaughter and one of the Golden Iron Triangle."

That was right. The beautiful woman who had arrived was Liu Erlong, the former dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, who also possessed the mutated Crimson Flame Fire Dragon Martial Soul.

The Crimson Flame Fire Dragon had originally been a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. However, an accident during her awakening caused her Martial Soul to mutate, eventually becoming the Crimson Flame Fire Dragon, second only to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

Likewise, Liu Erlong was the daughter of Yu Luomian and a woman of the pleasure quarters. Because of her mother's background, Yu Luomian had not dared bring her home. He had kept her outside all along and had her take her mother's surname.

Liu Erlong snorted coldly and said without concern, "I never expected you to have heard of me. It seems Your Lordship has some skill."

Her temperament had always been fiery, and she was also a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. She even dared threaten Dugu Bo, much less Lin Yuan, who appeared to have no background whatsoever.

With one hand behind his back, Lin Yuan spoke leisurely. "I have heard a little. But I once heard that the Golden Iron Triangle was inseparable. Your later separation must have been due to some reason. If I am not mistaken, it should have been related to you and Master, correct?"

At those words, Liu Erlong's expression visibly changed. She instinctively looked toward Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, whose gaze was similarly evasive.

More than twenty years ago, when two like-minded young Soul Masters were traveling the Soul Master world together, they encountered Erlong while hunting Soul Beasts in a Soul Beast forest.

As time passed, both Flender and Yu Xiaogang fell for Erlong. Yet because of their brotherly bond, neither was willing to confess.

The three accidentally discovered that through their coordination, they could unleash a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Relying on their own strength, they gradually made a name for themselves in the Soul Master world as the Golden Iron Triangle.

As the three grew older, their feelings for one another deepened. On the day Flender confessed to Erlong, Erlong called both Flender and Yu Xiaogang before her and told them that the one she liked was Yu Xiaogang.

Later, with Flender's blessing, Yu Xiaogang and Erlong decided to marry. On a night when the stars shone especially brightly, Flender presided over their wedding. However, after the three had shared a drink together,

just as Flender was preparing to bid farewell and set out to travel on his own, several people led by Yu Luomian suddenly burst in. They later learned that Erlong was Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter. In the end, utterly disheartened, Yu Xiaogang chose to flee and left alone in silence.

Yu Xiaogang's departure caused Erlong immense pain. To ease it, she had once massacred an entire Soul Beast forest, and the slaughter spiraled out of control. Anything that crossed her path as a target of attack, even if it had committed only minor evil, was never given a chance to live.

Lin Yuan had nothing to say about this. After all, Douluo Continent had always been a world where the strong devoured the weak. Only the strong could decide the life and death of others, while the weak could only bow their heads and submit for a chance to survive.

Liu Erlong said calmly, "Lord Lin Yuan, perhaps you already know about Xiao Gang's and my Martial Souls. We both come from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. We are indeed no match for you, but are you not afraid of offending our clan?"

"Erlong, stop!"

Master's expression changed instantly. Lin Yuan might fear the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but they must not forget that if they threatened a Title Douluo, even if he slaughtered everyone here, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would never be able to find evidence in a short time.

Lin Yuan smiled with a nod. "Hehehe, Liu Erlong, do you truly think I would fear the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Go back and ask your clan head, Yu Yuanzhen, how many times he can withstand the Martial Soul in my hands."

Liu Erlong frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that? Have you fought the clan head before?"
