Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 276 - 274: Startling News

"Guo Wenzhan!"

"Helan Ying!"

Xu Yang stared in shock at the two inside the hall.

So familiar—it couldn’t be more familiar!

One was one of the top ten Blood Generals of the Barbarian Race, equivalent in strength to a titled Marquis Wu of Wuhou Hall!

The other was the second general of the Barbarian army, holding high rank and power!

How could the two of them appear in secret here in Qingzhou?

The shock and suspicion barely flashed by.

Helan Ying had already shot out violently, blood and fire blazing in his eyes, hatred deep to the bone!

Ever since Tuoba Hongyu had suddenly ordered a retreat, he hadn’t seen Xu Yang, nor had he heard any news of him.

He had even thought he would never have hope to take his revenge in this life.

But unexpectedly, Xu Yang had suddenly appeared before him!

How could Helan Ying not be wild with joy?

But the Yuanli Sect Leader, seated in the chief position, was completely stunned.

But right now, no one would explain a thing to him either.

In the instant Helan Ying approached, Huangfu Shaoyao struck decisively.

Boom!

With a palm strike, she forced Helan Ying back!

Helan Ying’s face turned ashen, and he barked without hesitation, "Attack together!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The Yuanli Sect Leader gritted his teeth, ignoring who Huangfu Shaoyao was, and erupted into action as well.

Colluding with the Barbarian Race was a choice he made out of desperation.

Now, he must not let his secret be exposed!

"Kill!"

Two powerful Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection experts charged in to kill.

The great hall seemed like it would shatter!

Yet Huangfu Shaoyao not only showed no fear, but instead wore an amused smile on her face.

Buzz!

An indescribable, bizarre ripple suddenly surged out from her body.

They saw a black spirit umbrella suddenly appear in Huangfu Shaoyao’s hand; with a twist of her wrist, the black umbrella spun horizontally into the air, its ribs bursting open and expanding rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it shrouded the entire great hall. Ferocious, hellish shrieks poured out, transforming into streams of black spirit shadows blanketing the hall.

The terrifying, suppressive aura made both Helan Ying and the Yuanli Sect Leader freeze mid-movement!

Their eyes bulged wide in terror!

In just an instant, Huangfu Shaoyao vanished from their sight.

"Xu Yang, today is the day you, this damn bastard, die!"

"You’d never have thought you’d die by my hand, would you?"

Guo Wenzhan leapt up, his face twisted with savagery. "After all this time you’re still stuck at the Yang Realm—you’re really trash!"

"Trash?"

Xu Yang’s lips curved up with a mocking sneer as he casually threw a punch.

Bam!

Guo Wenzhan’s eyeballs bulged as he felt his fist slam against an indestructible wall of copper and iron—his fist bones shattered on impact!

Agonizing pain assaulted him as a vast and violent force, like a flood breaking through a dam, swept across the world and crashed headlong into him with unmatched might.

Boom!

Guo Wenzhan screamed miserably, hurled backward and smashing through the hall!

"How is this possible?"

Guo Wenzhan coughed up blood as he struggled up, terrified and panicked, utterly unable to accept this outcome.

He had finally broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, rising to a level second only to Helan Xing and Tuoba Dajiang. Yet he couldn’t even withstand a single punch from Xu Yang?

Pfft!

On the verge of collapse, he couldn’t help but spit another mouthful of fresh blood.

Swoosh!

Xu Yang appeared before Guo Wenzhan.

Guo Wenzhan’s eyes cracked with rage. "You damn bastard, I’ll fight you to the death!"

The barbarian patterns on his body erupted as he transformed into a fearsome wild lion—yet he turned and tried to flee!

Boom!

A figure slammed down like a towering sky, a boundless giant mountain, descending from above and trampling Guo Wenzhan into the ground with unstoppable might.

Crack!

The barbarian patterns on his body shattered under that one stomp; his flesh tore apart, blood sprayed everywhere; it was a gruesome sight!

Guo Wenzhan shrieked in agony, utterly desperate and terrified.

Too powerful.

Xu Yang was so strong it drove him to despair!

Perhaps only Tuoba Dajiang could stand against him!

"You can’t kill me! If you do, the General will never forgive you." Guo Wenzhan glared in misery.

"Helan Ying?"

"He can’t even save himself now." Xu Yang shook his head slightly.

"What?"

Guo Wenzhan looked over, only to see Helan Ying and the Yuanli Sect Leader firmly suppressed under the black umbrella, miserable and wretched.

At this sight, Guo Wenzhan trembled uncontrollably!

An indescribable regret welled up in his heart. Why did I come to Qingzhou?

"Why did you come to Qingzhou, what are you plotting?" Xu Yang asked, curious.

Guo Wenzhan’s smile was uglier than crying as he stammered, "Xu Yang, we’re on the same side. You’re the princess’s consort—the Barbarian Race will always have your back! Even though we have our grudges, Her Highness’s will is the will of the Barbarians!"

"I’ll tell you everything."

"We’re preparing to attack Qingzhou. Right now, the Barbarians have already taken the Northern Territory and Leizhou. We’re bound to take Qingzhou, too!"

"Attack Qingzhou?"

Xu Yang gasped in shock.

The Barbarian Race sure has ambition!

If they really take Qingzhou, holding three of Daqian’s largest regions...

Even if Daqian turns its focus against the Barbarians, it won’t be so easy!

"What’s the plan?" Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, his tone icy cold.

Guo Wenzhan gave a bitter laugh. "I’m just following Helan Ying here to Yuanli Sect to make preparations in secret. As for the detailed plan or timing, even Helan Ying doesn’t know!"

"Right now, besides the First General, the High Priest is calling the shots in the Barbarian army!"

Xu Yang’s heart skipped a beat.

The High Priest’s status among the Barbarians was supreme—his authority even heavier than the First General’s!

Now that even the High Priest had personally come to oversee the Northern Territory, attacking Qingzhou wasn’t just an empty boast!

A plan like that—Guo Wenzhan wasn’t qualified to know the details!

Thinking this, killing intent filled Xu Yang’s eyes.

"In that case, you have no reason to stay alive."

"Wait!!"

Guo Wenzhan’s heart pounded wildly as he shouted in desperation, "I’m still useful, Xu Yang! Please! It’s you and Helan Xing who have the blood feud, not me! I can lure Helan Xing out for you!"

"I can even bring Tuoba Dajiang too! Just spare my life!"

Pfft!

Without another word, Xu Yang slashed down mercilessly!

All useless talk!

Helan Xing and Tuoba Dajiang—he would face them eventually.

He didn’t need Guo Wenzhan to lure them out!

Guo Wenzhan’s head tumbled to the ground, his wide eyes glaring upwards. Perhaps, at the very last moment before death, he finally tasted Surihan’s despair and unwillingness!

After cutting him down, Xu Yang felt not the slightest ripple, and turned to watch the battle inside the hall.

The fight was almost over!

The Yuanli Sect Leader had already been the first to be suppressed and killed. Now Helan Ying was barely managing to struggle, finding it hard to last much longer!

Suddenly—

Helan Ying’s eyes caught Xu Yang in the corner of his vision. His sockets burst open and he let out a hoarse roar, "Xu Yang, even if I die, I’ll take you with me!"

Rumble!

He ignited his barbarian patterns with reckless abandon, erupting with a terrifying surge of power, tearing apart the black umbrella’s imprisonment, escaping and lunging savagely at Xu Yang!

Xu Yang’s face changed dramatically, urgently retreating!

But Helan Ying was too fast.

Huangfu Shaoyao’s pretty face paled as well—anyone else could die, but Xu Yang absolutely could not!

But she was a step too slow.

"Qin’Er!" she shouted anxiously.

Huangfu Qing gritted his teeth and roared, "Xu Yang, don’t resist!"

Before the words had even faded, his eyes turned blood red, like two surging seas of blood, as if about to devour the heavens and earth.

Buzz!

The Asura Blood Book surged out of his body, hovering before him.

Huangfu Qing flashed through a series of hand seals, coldly snarling, "Asura Blood Wall!"

At the same time, Xu Yang’s whole body shuddered, hair standing on end as the blood runes in his Sea of Consciousness burst with dazzling light.

"Don’t resist!" Gu Jun urgently warned.

Xu Yang bit through his tongue sharply, suppressing his instinctive reaction!

Whoosh!

The blood runes resonated with the Asura Blood Book from a distance, erupting in a flood of blood-red light, forming a mighty blood wall before Xu Yang!
