Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 174 ---

Son Goku roared happily because his jinchuriki weakened his control again, but he knows this won't last forever.

'If only the seal weakens a little bit more...' Son Goku thought while clenching his fist.

As he was busy with his own thing, a human suddenly landed in front of him and waved his hand at him.

"Yo!" Yunlong casually greeted the tailed beast with a smile on his face.

Son Goku frowned slightly and looked at Yunlong with a grim expression because this human's intention was definitely wicked.

Roaaaar!

Son Goku grasped a big rock and threw it toward Yunlong, who abruptly had a golden sword in his hand.

Boom!

The rock got slashed in half and hit the ground behind Yunlong, which became two huge craters.

It was a surprise for Yunlong because Son Goku's strength was more powerful than he had estimated.

However, it wasn't enough to make Yunlong afraid because his maid could also do something like this. They casually did it every day in the backyard.

'Well, As long as it doesn't touch me directly, nothing bad will happen.' Yunlong commented because his current physical strength is so limited.

Yunlong looked at the giant monkey and commented, "That wasn't a bad throw."

"Do you have more, Monkey?" He continued with a smile on his face.

Son Goku furrowed his brow and angrily twitched his mouth because this mere human dares to call him "monkey." casually. He doesn't know that he was the king of sage monkeys.

"Ghost..!" Uchiha Itachi landed beside Yunlong and looked at Son Goku with a solemn expression.

"Oh, I thought you were gonna plan something for a moment," Yunlong commented while looking at Itachi slightly.

"..I have planned something, but that was irrelevant now," Uchiha Itachi shook his head because Yunlong was jumping straight into the enemy.

Yunlong shrugged his shoulders like he did not care, and a great heat blast suddenly came toward them.

"Green-Colored Flame..." Uchiha Itachi was about to dodge, but Yunlong had already teleported them away.

Yunlong threw Itachi toward a hot spring nearby and did a few hand signs by himself.

"Water Release: Soaring Water Bullets." After fusing them, Yunlong quickly used a new Jutsu, and a few water ripples appeared on the hot spring.

A few water orbs suddenly floated and got propelled toward the green-coloured flame, but these surprisingly weren't enough.

"Hee...?" Yunlong's smile widened slightly.

Roar!

Son Goku angrily stomped the ground, and everything around them suddenly flashed with a burning red colour.

BOOM!

Scorching lava burst out of the ground, and Yunlong dodged these by using his movement technique.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique." Uchiha Itachi blew out a great fireball toward Son Goku, who plainly slapped it without any difficulty.

Yunlong appeared on Itachi's side and commented, "That monkey can use Lava Release, so he is obviously resistant to fire."

Uchiha Itachi frowned for a moment and then looked at the surroundings with an attentive gaze. Furthermore, sadly their environment was indeed good for the tailed beast.

"Yonbi have an advantage..." Uchiha Itachi mumbled.

Uchiha Itachi could use his mangekyou Sharingan to defeat the tailed beast, but he knows it wasn't enough.

"You can use your Amaterasu, right?" Yunlong suddenly asked while grasping his sword firmly.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Yunlong with a surprised gaze. Then he remembered that this man was also an Uchiha, who also awakened mangekyou Sharingan.

"I can..." Uchiha Itachi quietly answered with a nod.

Even though Itachi wasn't very comfortable with his mangekyou Sharingan because he just awakened them a while ago, he had already grasped a few abilities.

"Well, good then. Use your Amaterasu on my mark." Yunlong said while walking toward the tailed beast.

Son Goku looked at Yunlong with a weird gaze. He decided to use the tailed beast bomb because it seemed every attack he did before wasn't effective against this human.

He opened his mouth, and positive and negative chakra gathered in the air, forming a blackish-purple sphere.

Crack!

The ground below Son Goku cracked because of the sheer weight of the tailed beast bomb.

"Die...!" Son Goku shouted while launching the tailed beast bomb toward Yunlong, who calmly looked at the incoming attack.

'I want to punch this for some reason... My body won't allow it, though.' Yunlong suddenly thought while looking at the tailed beast bomb.

"Whatever." Yunlong sighed and threw a golden needle to the skies.

Uchiha Itachi calmly observed Yunlong's action and saw him casually point the golden sword at the incoming tailed beast.

"What's he doing?" Uchiha Itachi muttered and saw the tailed beast make contact with Yunlong's sword. It abruptly disappeared like there was no such attack before.

A shadow covered Itachi, and he looked upward to the skies, where the tailed beast bomb got teleported by Yunlong.

"Kaboom," Yunlong smirked, and a powerful explosion occurred in the skies, which swayed every cloud in the area.

"He teleported my tailed beast bomb." Son Goku's eyes widened in surprise because this had never happened before.

Ordinary time-space ninjutsu won't do such a thing, which means this human had a great mastery over that field.

"Itachi, his tail, burn them," Yunlong instructed, and Itachi immediately looked at Son Goku's tails with bloodshot eyes.

Son Goku quickly moved his gaze to the other human. He saw a familiar-looking pair of eyes that he had never forgotten in his entire life.

"Sharingan. He's Uchiha." Son Goku solemnly looked at Itachi.

"Amaterasu..!"

A pitch-black flame suddenly manifested on Son Goku's tails, and he roared in pain because he got caught off guard.

ROOAARR!

Yunlong glanced at Itachi's eyes slightly and noticed it did not bleed. "Hmm, It doesn't affect his vision yet, huh." He commented.

"Well, let's focus on the monkey first." He continued while moving his gaze back to Son Goku, who jumped right and left because of the scorching pain.

Yunlong raised his palm, and a burst of golden light appeared out of nowhere, but if someone observed closely, they'd see thousands of golden needles floating around him.

"Become bigger," Yunlong commanded, and a thousand golden spears appeared.

"Is this even a ninjutsu..." Uchiha Itachi looked at Yunlong with a surprised expression because he couldn't see a single chakra line on those golden spears, which meant they floated independently.

"Golden Rain." Yunlong coldly gazed at Son Goku, and thousands of golden spears flew toward the tailed beast.

"I WON'T BE DEFEATED BY HUMANS!"

Son Goku angrily roared because he doesn't like Yunlong's gaze, a gaze like he was staring at something inferior, something weaker than him.

"It doesn't matter. You have lost." Yunlong commented.

The golden spears sparked with crimson lightning, and Son Goku's body got pierced thousands of times, which also electrocuted him from the inside.

"ARRRGH!"

Son Goku felt his entire body fell apart, and he quickly lost consciousness.

BOOM!

Son Goku's giant body falls to the ground, and Amaterasu starts to disappear, leaving a few bare burn injuries on his tail.

Yunlong turned around and bluntly said, "Mission complete."

'Unbelievable... Just who's the actual monster here?' Uchiha Itachi silently stared at Yunlong.
