Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 376 : I Am the Dragon Emperor You Seek to Overthrow!

Chapter 376 - I Am the Dragon Emperor You Seek to Overthrow!

After leaving Luo Hongye's side, Long Yao went straight to a certain spot in the Bone-Burying Swamp, her cold eyes gazing at the swamp below.

Several poisonous toads leaped out from the swamp, spitting venom at Long Yao.

Long Yao's cold eyes hardened. With a casual flick, a dragon-bone whip sliced through the air, instantly shredding all the poisonous toads!

"Chan Yu, get the hell out here for me!"

Long Yao ordered coldly, gripping the dragon whip.

"L-Lord Dragon Emperor?!"

"Why have you come in person...?"

"Have you come specially to watch the beautiful performance I am presenting for you~?"

A short, fat man named Chan Yu emerged from the swamp. He was shocked to see Long Yao, but then, with an excited expression, he proactively took credit:

"Lord Dragon Emperor, rest assured! As long as I, Chan Yu, am here, I will absolutely not let that bunch of ignorant and damned fellows pass through this Bone-Burying Swamp~"

"All of them will sink into this Bone-Burying Swamp and become its nutrients and decorations~"

"The Pig Demon Clan, the Rat Demon Clan, and the useless Spider Clan all failed, but I, Chan Yu, will absolutely not fail~!"

"For you, Lord Dragon Emperor, my Toad Clan will leave none of them behind and kill them all~!"

Chan Yu opened his arms wide, his face full of pride, his words filled with confidence.

As an ancient Death-Marsh Poison Toad, he could turn any place into a deep Bone-Burying Swamp at will.

The bottomless swamp would devour anyone who stepped into it!

The endless poisonous fog and marsh gas would stop anyone from advancing!

As long as he was not dead, the Bone-Burying Swamp could not be broken!

Even the Demon Lord or that woman who had slain Zhu Yu with a single sword strike couldn't dream of finding him in the bottomless Bone-Burying Swamp that covered ten thousand li!

With just his Toad Clan, he was more than enough to stop the southern clans' army of several hundred thousand on the Bone-Burying Swamp!

"Your Bone-Burying Swamp disgusts and repulses me!"

"Who gave you permission to release this disgusting and annoying swamp in front of me!"

Long Yao's expression was ice-cold, her eyes transformed into vertical pupils as she gazed coldly at Chan Yu.

For some reason, after going against her mother's wishes and leaving Luo Hongye, her heart was filled with extreme irritation!

Logically, she should have taken the opportunity while Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying, and the others were away to secretly and forcefully take Luo Hongye, to get her mother's praise and reward.

But in the end, she didn't make a move. On the contrary, she even acted to protect Luo Hongye…

Her heart was filled with conflict and confusion; she didn't understand why she had done that.

As a result, she was now even more vexed, displeased, and confused.

In the end, she blamed all of this on Chan Yu!

It must be because of this foul-smelling marsh gas and poison fog that she felt so disgusted and irritated!

"L-Lord Dragon Emperor, I-I was eliminating the traitors for you…"

Feeling Long Yao's ice-cold gaze, Chan Yu explained, trembling.

He never thought that the Bone-Burying Swamp he had painstakingly laid out to block the southern clans' army would, instead of earning him any praise or reward from Long Yao, only anger her…

He had long known that the Dragon Emperor's temperament was chaotic and unpredictable, that she killed on a whim, but he never thought that one day, it would be his turn…!

Chan Yu swallowed, and sensing Long Yao's killing intent and the imminent crisis, he no longer hesitated. He leaped up and dove headfirst into the swamp below.

*Run! Long Yao is inexplicably angry right now; he will surely be implicated!*

However, even though Chan Yu had a head start, Long Yao's move was faster.

The dragon whip in her hand shot out, and in an instant, it wrapped tightly around Chan Yu, who was just about to dive into the swamp! The whip continuously tightened, and the sharp dragon bones on its sides sliced into Chan Yu's body like a knife through tofu!

In an instant, Chan Yu's entire body was a mess of torn skin and flesh, dripping with blood!

"Lord Dragon Emperor! Spare me!"

Faced with Chan Yu's pleas for mercy, Long Yao's expression was indifferent. She showed no intention of listening or stopping, and the dragon whip in her hand continued to tighten with force.

"L-Lord Dragon Emperor, aaaah!"

In despair and excruciating pain, Chan Yu let out one last, unwilling roar. He truly couldn't understand why the Dragon Emperor wanted to kill him…

"So noisy!"

With a slight tug from Long Yao, the dragon whip instantly sliced Chan Yu's entire body into countless pieces, which fell into the swamp!

With Chan Yu dead, the Bone-Burying Swamp formation instantly failed, and the swamp on the ground gradually solidified and recovered. Countless members of the Toad Clan were trapped and died beneath the ground… And the few who were lucky enough to escape from the swamp would be killed on the spot by Hu Shan's clan members!

Long Yao, however, didn't care at all.

Whether it was the Toad Clan, the Pig Demon Clan, or the others, they had all joined and flattered her out of fear. If they died, they died. Just like the handmaidens by her side, she could just replace them with new ones later…

But even after killing Chan Yu and dispelling the Bone-Burying Swamp, her heart was still in turmoil, inexplicably unable to calm down.

In the past, after killing someone, her mood would usually lighten up a little. But not this time.

*Could it be because it was the first time she had gone against her mother's words… As expected, she should have taken Luo Hongye just now…!*

At this moment, Long Yao felt a little regret.

Just as Long Yao was feeling vexed, a cold and beautiful figure slowly walked out before her.

"It's you…!"

Long Yao looked up and saw Yue Qingyou, with a dignified posture, slowly walk out from behind a rock. She had been there, yet Long Yao hadn't noticed…! She hadn't seen her by Luo Hongye's side just now; so she had been secretly following her all along!

Long Yao's eyes stared coldly at Yue Qingyou before her, and she tightened her grip on the dragon whip in her hand.

Since her identity had been discovered, she might as well just kill her directly!

Just as Long Yao was about to swing the dragon whip, Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying slowly descended from behind her.

Luo Ruying looked at Long Yao with an astonished expression.

Although she had long since sensed a hint of strangeness about Long Yao, she still hadn't expected her to be the bloodthirsty and cruel Dragon Emperor…

When Ning Yechen had told her this, she had found it hard to believe.

Now, looking at Long Yao holding the dragon whip, she had no choice but to believe it…

Seeing Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying also appear, Long Yao's expression was one of great shock, but she quickly regained her composure, a cold, self-deprecating smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Hmph, so you knew all along…"

"That's right! I am the Dragon Emperor you seek to overthrow!"

"I must have looked ridiculous in your eyes these past few days!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

She had wanted to disguise her identity and lurk by their side to abduct the child, but it turned out the other party had discovered her long ago, while she had foolishly thought her identity had not been exposed…

"No…"

"I also just learned from my husband."

"Before, I never thought you were the Dragon Emperor…"

"Ye Ye never knew your identity either."

Luo Ruying slowly shook her head, a look of pity on her face.

From their previous conversations with Long Yao, she had sensed her monstrous, endless hatred for the world.

Perhaps it was this hatred in her heart that had turned her into what she was today…
