Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

"We won!"

The experts of Wuhou Hall all let out a long breath.

To be honest, based on Xu Yang's past battle record, they were really afraid things would go sideways!

If Huangfu Qing messed up and they intervened, it would do nothing good for Wuhou Hall's reputation—whatever the outcome, it would be a headache!

Now it's fine, Huangfu Qing won in a landslide!

Private vendettas, whatever happens is just par for the course.

The Martial Artists all around were still immersed in shock, unable to extricate themselves!

The brilliance of this battle was almost on par with the True Monarch level!

Especially considering the two of them: one, the top Titled Marquis Wu of Wuhou Hall; the other, a defiant Pill Master who kept creating miracles!

Such a matchup, without a doubt, filled this battle with countless colors—absolutely eye-catching!

Of course, this battle did not disappoint anyone!

"Time to die?"

Xu Yang's face was colorless, but he glared at Huangfu Qing without a trace of fear and sneered, "What if you can't kill me today?"

The corner of Huangfu Qing's mouth curled up, "You think I don't know what you're counting on?"

"Since leaving the Northern Territory, he probably can't intervene anymore."

In fact, through the Blood Blade Seal, he could sense faint remnants of the Pill Emperor's presence.

But now, it was utterly still!

Silence!

Clearly, Gu Jun had already fallen asleep!

"Your greatest trump card is gone, what will you use to fight me?"

Huangfu Qing's face was full of mockery.

Xu Yang's expression darkened further.

To be honest, Gu Jun really was his greatest card.

But Gu Jun was still deep in slumber!

The current situation...

What now?

Xu Yang's face became uglier by the second.

Seeing Xu Yang's reaction, Huangfu Qing couldn't suppress the urge to burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!"

The thrill was exquisite!

Though the rest might not know the details, they could all see how delighted Huangfu Qing was—absolutely delighted!

"Kid, with your teacher not around, you can't even handle trash like this?"

"Teacher?"

"You're awake?"

Xu Yang's whole body shook, eyes going wide with disbelief.

At this moment, it was truly a case of a bright future suddenly revealed—ecstatic and hard to believe!

"Hmph, I woke up long ago, just needed to adapt a bit,"

Gu Jun let out a faint snort, his tone full of pleasure.

A flash of excitement crossed Xu Yang's eyes; he glanced at Huangfu Qing and muttered in his heart, "Teacher, if you hadn't woken up, what could I have done?"

"Cough cough!!"

Gu Jun nearly choked—'Hell, that was just a figure of speech, kid! You took it seriously?'

In this situation?

To be honest, if it were him in Xu Yang's shoes with this strength, he would have been at his wits' end too!

If they were on solid ground, maybe things would be better!

But here in the void, everything was under Wuhou Hall's control—with no absolute strength, where could one escape?

"Ahem, if Teacher were in this position, you'd probably have done better!" Xu Yang hadn't expected Gu Jun's comment to be merely offhanded, so he laughed awkwardly and brushed it off.

"Teacher, surely this place can't stump you, right?"

"Nonsense!"

"Even if I'm now just a remnant soul, I'm still a genuine True Monarch's remnant!" Gu Jun declared proudly.

All of this was thanks to Zheng Xuan!

Zheng Xuan is dead!

There were no ripples in Xu Yang's heart.

"When we leave, could we swipe Huangfu Qing's Asura Blood Book on the way out?" Xu Yang licked his lips, eyes burning with desire!

Leaving empty-handed—he was really not willing!

He'd been eyeing the treasures on Huangfu Qing for ages.

Bit by bit, True Monarch's Supreme Treasures, one after another!

He'd lost so many in Huangfu Shaoyao's place, never expected Huangfu Qing to pull out another one here, and this Asura Blood Book wasn't one bit inferior!

Truly amazing!

"Take the Asura Blood Book? Heh heh!"

Gu Jun's interest was piqued too: "Let me have a good think!"

"Xu Yang, kneel!"

Huangfu Qing's face turned impatient and, commanding the Asura Blood Sea, churned the void and crushed down toward Xu Yang with ruthless force.

Of course he wouldn't just kill Xu Yang outright!

He wanted to seize the Pill Emperor!

Humiliate and torment Xu Yang as brutally as possible!

"With just you?"

Xu Yang suddenly sneered, unmoving like a mountain, an indescribable air of domination radiating from his body!

The crowd was shocked.

"Could he have another card left?"

"No way! At this point, how could he have anything left?"

"But look at him—he's not afraid at all!"

...

Huangfu Qing's heart gave a thump!

Could it be...

A thought flashed by; his gaze grew even colder. Even if Xu Yang still had a card, he was supremely confident in his own power!

With the Asura Blood Book and Blood Blade Seal in hand, beneath the True Monarch level, even the old Myriad Phenomena Realm monsters of Wuhou Hall would have a hard time facing him!

"Ignorant fool, today I'll show you the true might of the Asura Blood Book!"

Huangfu Qing didn't look down on Xu Yang—in fact, he raised his vigilance to the maximum.

Poof!

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the Asura Blood Book.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the blood light soared madly; the vast sea of blood seemed to boil, becoming blazing and wild, scorching the void with its terrifying might, the area for ten thousand feet around growing as torrid as a sea of flames!

The endless Void Ladder below twisted violently under the reflection of the blood sea, its outline wavering to the naked eye!

Huangfu Qing locked on Xu Yang, raising his palm to the sky!

"Go!"

Whoosh, whoosh!!

Roar!

From the surging blood sea, a thunderous roar shook the void.

One page of the Blood Book transformed into a towering Asura Divine General stepping through the air.

Another page became a blood-red suit of armor, covering its body!

Another page turned into a pair of blood-red eyes!

One more page transformed into a crimson Spirit Sword!

...

In the blink of an eye, the Asura Divine General threw back his head and howled, gripping his blood sword before shooting out like a blazing arrow.

The vast blood sea became his cape, fluttering in the wind, like a gigantic crimson banner embedded in the sky for miles—chilling to the bone, striking terror in all!

Xu Yang's body tightened, suffocating!

Huangfu Qing had obviously pushed the Asura Blood Book to the very limit of his current control!

"Teacher..."

"Don't panic!"

"That little quip of yours actually provoked him into using everything he's got—not a bad thing!"

Gu Jun chuckled, then said suddenly, "Don't resist!"

Before the words landed, Xu Yang felt himself engulfed by an ancient, boundless, mysterious power.

As if driven by some other will, he took a step forward and clawed at the Asura Divine General!

Seeing this, countless people cried out—everyone thought Xu Yang had gone mad!

Facing such an attack, you go at it bare-handed?

That was a True Monarch's Supreme Treasure!

"Yeah, as if he's got shit left for tricks!"

"Trying to take on a True Monarch's Supreme Treasure with your bare hands… what a joke."

"Xu Yang's doomed!"

Huangfu Qing couldn't hold back his sneer: "Xu Yang, and I thought you were something!"

"Turns out it was just an empty bluff!"

"Kneel!"

The roar thundered like a bomb, tearing open the void!

The Divine General's blood-red eyes glowed over all creation, his crimson sword seeming to pierce up from hell, bearing down over miles and miles of emptiness!

Beneath the blood sword, countless Martial Artists shuddered uncontrollably, panic written all over their faces!

Under the gaze of all, Xu Yang smiled faintly—facing the blood sword, his palm struck out with zero hesitation!

Boom!

Xu Yang caught the Spirit Sword with his bare hand—even his body remained motionless, solid as Mount Tai!

Layers of blood light shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It was as if some terrifying force concealed itself in his palm!

Huangfu Qing's heart trembled as his face changed dramatically.

"You..."

Xu Yang gave Huangfu Qing a wicked grin, "Huangfu Qing, thanks for the gift!"
