Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 102 - 100: Gotta Take Him Down

The biggest reason he entered the Red Sand Blood Desert this time was to search for the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant. As long as he found the jade pendant, he would be satisfied, even if there was no other gain!

"Dog, this way!"

Xu Yang immediately changed direction.

With the jade talisman sensing, the closer they got, the clearer it became.

"Hmm? The direction is up above now."

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, True Essence bursting forth as he swept upward.

Dozens of breaths later.

Beneath the sand current layer, Xu Yang retracted his True Essence, concealed his aura, and gave Dog a meaningful glance.

Dog understood at once, his entire presence vanishing without a trace.

Right after that.

Xu Yang brushed away the sand and looked toward a certain spot.

Churning blood-red sand shot out in all directions with the wind, violent currents surging everywhere.

A tall figure was battling an undead Blood Corpse.

The surging shockwaves made it impossible to approach within dozens of meters!

"A Yang Realm Barbarian and a Blood Corpse!"

"Could the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant be inside the Blood Corpse?"

Xu Yang gripped the jade talisman, sensing for a moment, looking bewildered.

It had actually been swallowed by the Blood Corpse.

Perhaps it was the corpse of that Cyan Gang Sect genius, swallowed by the Blood Corpse, but it couldn’t digest the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant!

After all, it’s the sect leader’s token of Cyan Gang Sect, a transcendent heirloom!

Even a Yang Realm Blood Corpse would have trouble destroying it.

Watching the fierce battle, Xu Yang frowned!

The Barbarian fighting the Blood Corpse looked quite young—having Yang Realm cultivation at that age, he was clearly impressive.

"Could he be one of the top ten Blood Generals?"

"This guy’s aura is only slightly weaker than Helan Xing’s!"

A bit troublesome!

But the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant was a must-have!

If it were before, Xu Yang would still be quite wary.

But after absorbing the Red Bright Fire Lotus, his Spiritual Power had increased dramatically; it wasn’t impossible to face a Yang Realm opponent now!

"Wait for a chance..."

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, patted Dog, and stealthily approached from beneath the sand, keeping his aura hidden.

Right now the battle was at its peak, the surrounding area in chaos, and Guo Wenzhan hadn’t noticed anyone approaching at all.

"Looks like I’ll have to use my trump card!"

Guo Wenzhan locked onto the Blood Corpse, twisting his body and explosively retreating.

This Blood Corpse was no pushover. After a ferocious fight, he only barely had the upper hand—he couldn’t suppress it!

The Blood Corpse roared and lunged.

Guo Wenzhan’s body vibrated, his tall form suddenly growing even taller.

On his chest, a golden barbarian mark abruptly emerged.

As soon as it appeared, it looked like a golden stream of fire, blazing fiercely!

"Golden Fire Mad Lion, arise!"

Guo Wenzhan let out a low shout, channeling the barbarian mark.

Roar!

A massive golden giant lion bathed in firelight appeared, melding with him.

Guo Wenzhan transformed into the Mad Lion, his aura skyrocketing as a claw tore through the sky and struck down.

Boom!

With a single blow, the Blood Corpse was sent flying several meters, huge cracks appearing all over its body.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Guo Wenzhan snorted coldly, sneered with disdain, and flashed forward instantly.

"Die!"

The giant lion raised its paw and turned it into a burning fist of fire, like an enormous meteor streaking through the sky.

Rumble!

With that punch, the Blood Corpse didn’t even have time to roar before its body was smashed apart on the spot.

Whoosh!

The firelight faded, the Mad Lion slowly receded, merging back into the barbarian mark on his chest.

Guo Wenzhan exhaled deeply, his face pale.

But looking at the Blood Corpse, he couldn’t hide his delight.

"I still don’t know what the Royal Court wants with these corpses?"

Everyone who entered had been instructed—the bodies of these monsters must be saved; once returned, they could be exchanged for cultivation resources.

After nearly a month, he had already hunted a dozen Blood Corpses, a fruitful harvest!

"Once this Blood Desert is over, Helan Xing, I will definitely surpass you!"

A flash of fighting spirit passed through Guo Wenzhan’s eyes as he walked to the Blood Corpse, intending to put it away.

Just then.

The sand’s surface exploded open, and a small silhouette shot in like lightning.

"What the hell?"

Guo Wenzhan’s expression shifted as he turned and punched down.

Swish!

A streak of True Essence was shattered by his punch, but the figure leapt up within a foot’s distance, dodging that blow entirely!

"Such speed!"

Guo Wenzhan cried out in shock, looking up to see a grinning Dog baring his teeth, eyes flashing fierce light, pouncing down.

"A dog?"

"Looking for death!"

Guo Wenzhan sneered coldly, erupting like a savage beast, his terrifying aura completely overwhelming Dog!

Bam!

Head-on collision—Dog let out a cry and fell down awkwardly.

"Interesting, a Yin Realm creature actually has strength close to a Yang Realm."

Guo Wenzhan’s eyes filled with surprise as he stared at Dog, the corners of his mouth lifting as he flashed over.

Dog looked up and gave Guo Wenzhan a comical smile.

He froze briefly—the smile looked oddly mocking?

"Ridiculous."

Guo Wenzhan shook his head, thinking the exhaustion from the recent battle must be playing tricks on him.

Boom!

Suddenly the sand behind him burst open—Xu Yang dashed out with the Demon Dragon Saber, slashing at Guo Wenzhan’s back!

Guo Wenzhan’s strength made his heart clench, but no matter how strong he was, he had to do him in!

After all, the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant was right here!

"World-Ending Saber!"

For this strike, Xu Yang didn’t dare hold anything back, pouring in his full strength.

Clang!

Blade intent surged, dragon soul awakening, savage might erupting forth!

The black blade edge was like a raging torrent, tearing space as it went.

"Qianren?"

Guo Wenzhan truly lived up to the Yang Realm name—his reflexes were frighteningly quick. Instantly twisting around, the dormant barbarian mark on his chest reawakened at the same time!

"Xu Yang? It’s actually you!"

"You and your mutt dare come looking for trouble? You’re practically digging your own graves!"

He recognized Xu Yang at a glance; shock and fury mixed with mocking laughter.

"I’m no waste like Helan Xing, now kneel before me!"
