Family

Huang Canfeng and his sister Huang Ran were standing before most of their children and grandchildren while facing their brother, Huang Hong, and his son Huang Lang. They felt pity since they would have to kill them.

With a burst, intense flames burst forth from them. Huang Ran had a female flame lion as her martial spirit. It sprang forth with great force as if going on a hunt. It was not going for Huang Hong or his spirit, but for Huang Lang.

The green lion of Huang Hong gave a giant roar with unimaginable force. Without even approaching Huang Ran's spirit, it still had the ability to blow it away. Even Huang Canfeng's spirit felt the pressure.

This clearly told them that Huang Hong was stronger, but how? He had never had this kind of strength, someone or something was backing him in this fight, yet they could not figure out what.

Sweat fell from Huang Canfeng's face, he felt fear. Suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder, he looked and saw his son, Huang Shi. He was standing with Huang Hao, both faintly smiling at him.

"Father, we are a family, so we stand by you", Huang Shi said, while Huang Wei went to help his mother, Huang Ran.

The mothers stood with the kids, showing them care and acting as a shield, they would not allow any of them to get hurt.

Huang Canfeng looked at the lineup of his family. Huang Shi was standing with Huang Hao as they awakened their spirits. Huang Hao's slim and fast Flame lion crawled forth, still in a transparent state, while Huang Shi's Skyfire Lion took off into the air.

He saw Huang Wei who was always calm, standing by Huang Ran, his fighting spirit had been awakened, he had a powerful glint in his eyes, while deep flames began surfacing from him along with his flame lion.

Huang Hong and his two children, Huang Rou and Huang Lang, showed signs of worry as they looked at the line up they were up against. They knew that their martial spirit was powerful, but could they really defeat all of them.

From behind Huang Canfeng, came two men walking, one was young-looking and drinking from a gourd while the other had zero hair on the top of his hair, but plenty of facial hair. They were Pen Min and Lei Nianzu. And so their fight began.

.....

Huang Yang was in the unending darkness. He could hardly see his own body in the void. But somehow there was water beneath his feet.

"Hello! Is anyone there?!", he called out in hopes of receiving an answer.

While no one directly answered him, he could feel the movements of a creature. It was low to the ground, yet was clearly big as water ripples were spreading out from everywhere. Something big was with him in the dark.

Slowly his eyes became used to the dark. There it was. A giant long body right in from of his eyes.

It opened its eyes within the dark. It was tens of thousands of feet long, or maybe more, as there was no way for Huang Yang to see its entire body.

Its eyes glowed a deep shade of green. It raised itself to an incredible height and Huang Yang could now clearly see what it was. A giant snake!

"My oh my, a new human has joined, tell me, how do you like my little corner in hell?", said the snake. It had a faint voice, yet it sent shivers deep into the soul of Huang Yang, who just began sweating more and more.

"H-hell, I-I'm in hell?", he asked with a shaking voice.

"Indeed, this is the territory of envy, tell me who did you envy when you still al-", it was about to ask a question when its eyes suddenly shined brightly.

"Yo-You aren't dead, what are you?", it said with a hint of surprise in its voice. With slow movements, its face came closer to Huang. A faint sound of wind moving was heard, it was smelling him.

Huang Yang tried to back up, yet nothing happened, he was locked in, all ready to be eaten.

"This smell, it's so rich, HAHA how lucky I am, the Old Evil has definitely taken a liking to me since he allowed me to have such a snack", the snake of envy laughed to himself.

This child with great blood had come from a portal that is used to send out its clones. Who would have thought that a human would journey through it?

With amusement, it readied itself for the next meal, Huang Yang.

.....

The fight had been shorter than most of them thought. Pen Min was truly powerful. None of them truly understood what kind of power he had, but the fight had truly shown the power he held.

Huang Hong was laying down, having turned into nothing more than a bloody mess. His eyes had turned green.

"I want to see you beneath me, the master said that I would be able to step on you, so why, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!", different emotion was clear in his voice. He was angry which he had been since the death of Huang Zhilan, yet that was not all.

"You guys always stand so tall, but we also deserve respect, why are you born with more than us?!", screamed out Huang Rou. Her behavior surprised the others since this was not like her in any way, what had suddenly driven her mad?

"You allowed my boy to die, WHY? Is it because that demon has more talent than him? Tell me, TELL ME", Huang Lang screamed out. Ever since the loss of Huang Zhilan he had grown skinny, and since he was a drunk his wife ended up leaving

Something was clear in the eyes of every single one of them. They were feeling envy, but why only envy?

Suddenly the sound of a snake hissing came from behind the flames.

"HAHAHAHAHA, he's here, the master is here", the three laughed in unison.

Pen Min was the first to follow the sound. He saw it first, a giant snake moving around behind the flames. Soon Huang Shi saw it too, while the others quickly followed.

"What is that thing?", Huang Wei yelled out. They all backed up in unison.

"It's a pity that we had to push the plan forward after that brat entered my cave", said a young voice, that they all recognized. Huang Long had come.

He walked out from the flames like they were curtains. It was without a doubt Huang Long, and behind him came Huang Qiang with his head down, he had grown thin and lifeless.

"Huang Long, what is the meaning of this?!", Huang Canfeng screamed out, but deep down he knew a horrible truth.

"You should all know that I am no longer Huang Long, he has given in to his envy, as has all the others who now serve me", said the thing controlling Huang Long.

His eyes turned green as he looked at Huang Hong and his children, "You have served your purpose", he said as the snake which was hiding behind the flames lashed out. It ate them in seconds.

"If they had received more time, they wouldn't have to die this way... pity, but let us not stop the show", said the voice of envy. Suddenly, more and more figures walked out from behind him.

"People have so many sinful emotions when they are defeated... I must thank Huang Yang for his talent, it has brought with it enough envy for me to grow in strength", he said, yet the others didn't listen. They only saw the people coming from behind Huang Long.

Huang Yao came with a pale face, yet this was not what worried them. Huo Yu Bo came walking out the flames, yet how could this be, he was dead. His skin was burnt and no clean skin was left, he had an artificial leg and only one arm.

Along with him came Huang Zhilan with his head down. He showed no life yet he was walking.

The hearts of the Huang family members were violently beating in fear. Huang Mei and Huang Xianjun were both crying along with Huang Tianyi who was laying in Lou Ru's arms.

The giant snake raised its head above the flames. Its eyes scanned the Huang family coldly. Dark green light began to flow from the body of Huang Long and his slave-like group.

"All of you, get everyone out of here safe!... I will hold them back", Pen Min said with a deep voice. The others had no time to think, they needed to act. Huang Shi took his wife and Huang Xianjun's hand. He needed to get them away first, afterwards, he would come back and hopefully get Huang Yang out of that cave. the others followed suit and each grabbed the weaker members of the family.

"We are family so why run?", said the snake, but it could not chase them for now, it had to fight Pen Min, but could he really win?

.....

Huang Yang was standing frozen with fear, would it be better if he was outside, where he would need to run with his family? or would it merely be another version of this hell.

He closed his eyes, the only thing he could do was think of his family. The warm memories he had with them.

Nothing mattered as the teeth of the snake came closer and closer to him. Is this how his life was meant to end from the beginning.

When the end seemed so dark, a brilliant light suddenly emerged from his soul. There it was again, the calling of his blood. The darkness ripped apart along with space itself.

The snake retreated with haste as it looked at the new light with fear. Huang Yang saw the light and felt his heart beat with unimaginable force. A figure was seen coming from the light, he was tall, and from his forehead came two black horns, matching his pitch-black hair and eyes.

His robes floated in the air and in his hand was a glowing sword, which gave of a demonic feeling. His eyes shined brightly when he looked at Huang Yang. A tear revealed itself as it flowed from his eye to his cheek.

"My son, you are alive..."
