Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 260 - 258: Enforcement Secret Guards

In that instant, the heavens quaked and the earth trembled, as if the very fabric of the universe might shatter!

The fireclouds soaring above were startled into boiling frenzy, threatening at any moment to collapse!

Divine weapons danced, their clangor deafening!

All sorts of spirit lights surged skyward, forming either immense grinding seals, or savage beasts, or mountains, rivers—myriad divine techniques, each embodying fatal intent, whistling sharply from all directions, converging upon Xu Yang.

Like a net cast over heaven and earth, escape seemed utterly impossible!

Even the vast peaks and open voids nearby quivered in terror beneath this fearsome might!

Xu Yang, standing motionless in the center, looked as if he’d been frightened dumb!

The crowd saw this and sneered cruelly, one and all!

"He’s dead for sure!"

"With so many of us, what means could he possibly resist with?"

"I don’t believe he still possesses the strength of a Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection expert."

"Hmph! Arrogance demands payment!"

...

"About to use them all up, again!"

Xu Yang suddenly sighed.

Gu Jun couldn’t help saying, "Even now, boy, you’re still reluctant?"

Crazy, right?

Even at his age, Gu Jun had to grudgingly admire Xu Yang’s guts!

Are you all balls and no brains?

Xu Yang moved.

With a sweeping sleeve, he sent out a wild surge.

Swish! Swish! Swish!!

Leaving only a single Fire Evil Elixir capable of threatening a Late Stage Myriad Phenomena Realm, he threw the remaining dozen or so out in one go.

"Detonate!"

Boom!

A dozen surges of raging fire exploded skyward, utterly shattering the fireclouds; the resulting torrent poured down like a rain of scarlet meteors, crashing down over everything.

The fiendish poison in a single Fire Evil Elixir was already astounding; what would a dozen combined be like?

A sweeping eruption like a boundless sea of fire, more fearsome than any volcano’s centuries-old fury!

And the spirit fire refined from the Red Flood Dragon itself radiated a murderous energy that could make anyone’s scalp tingle!

Whoosh!!

Fire Fiends raged in all directions, burning everything they touched.

The myriad divine techniques from the dozen attackers were struck like thunder, entangled and torn apart by fiendish poison!

The two leading Late Stage Myriad Phenomena cultivators abruptly turned pale.

"Retreat!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"What the hell kind of elixir is that?"

An old man cursed foully, the Fire Fiend and fire poison a grave threat; once contaminated, it was near impossible to suppress!

The fiendish poison before their eyes was utterly overwhelming!

It made his skin crawl with goosebumps!

He immediately reined in his divine techniques without hesitation, transforming them into supreme defense and fleeing madly!

The sea of fire rolled in!

The martial artists who failed to escape screamed in agony the instant they were touched.

Their flesh was burned open, sinew and muscle mangled!

Even those strong as the Myriad Phenomena Realm, whose blood and bone were incredibly robust—

—were unable to resist this fiendish poison’s corruption; its rampaging effects even clouded their minds.

Like maggots clinging to bone!

At the same time, Xu Yang moved as well.

Taking advantage of the chaos the Fire Evil Elixirs created, he became a shadowy phantom, shifting to the side of a Middle Stage Myriad Phenomena martial artist.

"Xu Yang, n—no... Spare me!"

Slash!

With a single stroke, he took off the man’s head!

The blade hissed down, blood spattered, ghostly light flashing!

Clean and sharp—a stroke like a lightning bolt, with not the slightest ripple!

After slaying one, Xu Yang wheeled around, immediately killing another.

Under the influence of the Fire Evil Elixirs, in just a fleeting moment, half the group had already fallen!

The old man was the first to escape the sea of fire, coughing up a mouthful of blood. Looking back, he saw one flaming corpse after another collapse, the chill reaching deep into his organs.

The fiendish poison within him could barely be suppressed and kept surging; his cheeks flushed, body trembling.

The shock of this scene made the old man inhale sharply, then turn and flee!

"He truly deserves to be called the Elixir Demon!"

"I should never have joined this mess!"

Boom!

The sea of fire blasted apart, and a burly figure wielding a giant hammer appeared, eyes red and wild, roaring savagely: "Xu Yang! I refuse to believe you’ve still got elixirs left!"

Ignoring the burning flames clinging to his body, the man erupted with fury, swinging his hammer to shatter space itself, aiming straight for Xu Yang!

Xu Yang’s eye twitched—the Late Stage Myriad Phenomena expert had clearly been driven mad.

This blow, he could not withstand!

He flickered out of the way like lightning.

Boom!

The hammer slammed into empty air, but the fierce explosion that followed could not be dodged.

Xu Yang grunted, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"So you really are out?"

"Little bastard, do you think you can kill me with a few elixirs?"

The burly man sneered ferociously.

Suddenly, his face froze!

Xu Yang opened his palm, revealing another fiery red elixir!

"Unlucky for you—I’ve got one left!"

Xu Yang bared two rows of snow-white teeth.

That grin, in the eyes of the middle-aged man, looked like the face of a devil!

The invisible Fire Fiend made his throat tighten, lips cracking dry.

He’d just witnessed the power of the Fire Evil Elixir!

Though he appeared savage, it was only bravado!

If another hit him...

The middle-aged man doubted his foundation would survive the destruction—even if he lived!

The lingering effects of the fiendish poison would not only torment him, but were almost impossible to heal!

Seeing the man’s trepidation, Xu Yang was hesitant as well.

Taking down a Late Stage Myriad Phenomena frontally was no easy feat.

And to use this last one felt too much to lose!

Besides, even if used, it might not slay him.

Unlike the first time, when he caught his opponent off guard—for a miraculous effect!

Suddenly—

A terrifying aura surged in like a tidal wave from ten thousand yards away, pressing even the fiery clouds to tremble.

Xu Yang’s expression shifted; he pretended to throw out the elixir, but turned and ran.

The middle-aged man, startled, didn’t dare chase after Xu Yang, dodging away instead.

When he realized the thrown object was just a regular elixir, fire nearly burst from his eyes in rage.

"Bastard!"

He took a step to give chase.

But his body shuddered, and he coughed up blood, forcing himself to stop, gritting his teeth, marshaling all his strength to combat the fiendish poison within!

A figure flashed in like lightning.

Clad in gold armor thin as cicada wings, wearing a golden mask that revealed only a pair of razor-sharp eyes.

His cultivation was at Middle Stage of the Realm of Myriad Phenomena, yet that terrifying aura made even the middle-aged man wary!

"Wuhou Hall’s Enforcer Secret Guard!"

The middle-aged man gasped in low shock.

"Where is Xu Yang?"

The gold-armored martial artist swept the man with an icy gaze.

The middle-aged man swallowed hard, immediately pointing toward the direction Xu Yang had fled.

The gold-armored martial artist rushed after him!

Watching him go, the middle-aged man could only gawk in awe: "Wuhou Hall has actually dispatched Enforcer Secret Guards. These are its deepest hidden force—rumor says each one is at least a titled Marquis Wu, trained from youth in secret techniques, and as loyal as deathsworn!"

"The last time Enforcer Secret Guards appeared was over ten years ago, when one of Wuhou Hall’s Marquis Wu was slain..."

But remembering that Xu Yang had killed the second titled Marquis Wu of the Hall, the man felt it made sense!

No way there’s just one Secret Guard dispatched!

"Even if that Xu Yang escapes, best not get mixed up again. That damn kid’s methods are near demonic—make one wrong move and you’re done!"

After this bout, the middle-aged man had been thoroughly cowed.

He treasured his own life, after all!

If he fell to some punk not even twenty, he’d never rest in peace!

Elsewhere, after chasing for a moment, the gold-armored martial artist completely lost all sign of Xu Yang.

He scanned the area, frowning slightly: "Where is he?"

"Did I get the wrong direction?"

Muttering to himself, the gold-armored martial artist refused to give up, continuing his search.

And Xu Yang—at this moment—was high above in the sky!
