Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 106 - 104: Top 10 Blood Generals, Number 1
Swoosh!
A flash of yellow lightning blocked in front of Xu Yang.
"Dog..."
Bang!
"Ah!!!"
Surihan let out a miserable scream and fell back.
He hadn’t noticed the dog at all. Caught off guard, he almost dropped his Spirit Sword. Before he could steady himself, the dog pounced at him again in a violent leap.
Surihan’s face changed dramatically; he hurried to defend himself.
Bang!
Splurt!
A cloud of blood bloomed from Surihan’s arm. The claw mark was so deep bone showed, making him twitch in pain as he staggered back, battered and disheveled.
The dog’s eyes were fierce, lips curled back in a snarl, short chubby legs kicking out a flurry of afterimages midair.
Bang!
Surihan stumbled and crashed to the ground.
Job done, the dog darted back to Xu Yang’s side, glaring alertly with savage eyes—gone was any sign of his usual docile cuteness.
Xu Yang didn’t even have time to praise him; he’d been scared into a cold sweat, and hurriedly stuffed a pill into his mouth, propping himself up to recover his losses.
Although his True Essence was intact, he’d drained his Spiritual Power dry—he didn’t have a shred of fighting strength left at the moment.
Even a single movement made him feel faint!
Thank the heavens for the dog!
"Aaaah, you goddamn mutt, I’m gonna stew you!" Surihan scrambled up, losing his mind, eyes wild, gripping his Spirit Sword as he charged in again.
Came here for revenge but ended up a total mess.
And all thanks to a damn dog.
This was even more unbearable than dying!
The dog shot out like a meteor.
"Dog, be careful!"
Xu Yang shouted, face ugly.
He was absolutely no help right now. Even with pills, regaining any Spiritual Power in the short term was impossible!
Bang!
Boom!
The dog and Surihan tangled together again in vicious combat.
Sword light flashed everywhere, shadows criss-crossed!
Watching the battle, Xu Yang relaxed a little; Surihan was clearly just a newly advanced Yang Realm—not even close to Guo Wenzhan’s level.
The dog, too, was no weakling. While neither could force the other back for now, Surihan was having a hard time suppressing the dog!
Especially with that blistering speed and sharp reactions, Surihan—now reckless with rage—was left in a mess.
"Damn it, what the hell kind of dog is this?"
Surihan gritted his teeth in fury, eyes bloodshot. He roared and triggered his Barbarian Mark!
A sword-shaped Barbarian Mark burst with spiritual light—clang!—resonating as it merged with his Spirit Sword!
"Die for me!"
He struck with a sword like a torrent, its power surging enormously.
It was like a terrifying waterfall thundering down on them.
Bang!
The dog yelped as he flew backwards, drops of blood spraying through the air.
"Damn it!"
Xu Yang’s face darkened, and with a grimace of pain, he ignored his weakness and forced himself up.
"Cyan Jade Seal!"
"Lock God Seal!"
The two seals took form instantly.
"Not good!" Surihan sensed the stirrings, Sea of Consciousness churning, Spiritual Power surging out; he reflexively raised his Spirit Sword in defense.
But he’d underestimated the Lock God Seal—especially bolstered by the Cyan Jade Seal’s impact!
His Spiritual Power was violently torn apart, his soul hacked and slashed as if by blades and axes!
"Aaaah~~~"
A piercing scream of agony echoed far and wide.
The dog seized the opening and ripped open a bloody gash in Surihan’s chest with one swipe of his paw.
Splurt!
Surihan screamed again in fresh pain.
But the dog didn’t press the attack, because Xu Yang had collapsed.
He spun, grabbed Xu Yang by the clothes with his teeth and bolted off in another direction. By the time Surihan came to his senses, he only saw a shadow flash and vanish like lightning into the overwhelming blood-red radiance, dissolved without a trace!
Surihan used his Spirit Sword to hold himself upright, shaking all over, his voice hoarse and hysterical with rage and frustration.
Why the hell is my luck so rotten?!
...
When Xu Yang woke again, half a day had passed.
The furry sensation on his body helped lift the fog in his mind a little.
"Dog?"
He opened his eyes. The dog shook his fur and stood up. Seeing his companion was all right, Xu Yang finally breathed out in relief.
He looked around—thick blood-red radiance everywhere, like another world altogether, with not a soul in sight.
Clearly, Surihan hadn’t tracked him down yet.
Xu Yang propped himself up, checked his own condition, and forced a bitter smile.
"Looks like I’ll need to use a Blessing Elixir to recover as fast as possible."
He didn’t have many pills to restore his Spiritual Power left.
He dumped the rest in his mouth, quickly working to recover.
A few hours later, he’d barely regained thirty or forty percent.
At least now he was ready to fight again.
Xu Yang looked around. This must be the mysterious territory beyond the Monster Great Wall.
No sun in the sky, only this oppressive, heavy blood-red radiance—it was suffocating!
"Did you see anyone else?" Xu Yang asked the dog, looking down.
The dog blinked, raised his fluffy tail, then dashed off in a direction.
Xu Yang’s eyes lit up and he hurried after the dog, marveling inside.
Bringing this dog back with him was definitely the right call!
Never mind treasure hunting—the dog had already saved him from disaster a few times!
He’d have to find the dog a lovely, beautiful little mate in the future.
He took out a second Blessing Elixir and swallowed it, but didn’t refine it just yet.
He’d save it for when danger struck—that would be the right time.
As long as he had a little time, with the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant and the Blessing Elixir’s nourishment, his Spiritual Power would return quickly.
Moments later—
The dog suddenly halted and pointed his front paw ahead.
Xu Yang strode forward a couple of steps, then stared ahead, heart pounding.
Up ahead, across the vast blood dunes, a group of people had gathered.
Helan Xing, Guo Wenzhan, Surihan...Tuoba Hongyu and the others were all there!
Over twenty people were clustering around Tuoba Hongyu.
A single glance showed that nearly all of them were Yang Realm.
Only three to five were Yin Realm Perfection!
"Looks like the Barbarian Royal Court’s top young geniuses are all here."
"If I could wipe them out in one fell swoop... tsk tsk!"
Xu Yang shook his head slightly, shelving that unrealistic idea.
Even without other elites around, just these people were far beyond what he could handle.
Even if he could kill them, after he got out, he’d be facing the endless wrath of all the Barbarian powerhouses!
"Who’s there?"
"Come out right now!"
A young man suddenly turned his sharp gaze toward the spot where Xu Yang was hiding.
"Someone’s here?"
"Who is it?"
Xu Yang’s face shifted minutely. He gave the unfamiliar youth a deep look; that level of perception was staggering!
But with Tuoba Hongyu there, he had no need to stay hidden any longer!
Even if there were some incredible opportunity here, now that he was completely in the dark, as a Qian tribesman, figuring out what was going on first was the smart move!
So many of the Barbarian’s great fortunes required Barbarian blood and Barbarian Marks as a foundation!
This was not the Barbarian Ancestral Land!
He couldn’t risk it!
Xu Yang stepped out into the open.
Everyone’s face changed at once.
"Xu Yang!"
"It’s really him? How did he end up here?"
"How did a Qian tribesman like him make it through the monster horde?"
Everyone was filled with disbelief.
Tuoba Hongyu’s expression darkened further; even Tuoba Hongye hadn’t kept him in check?
She’d told Tuoba Hongye to stay by Xu Yang’s side, first to keep him safe—given his status, if other Barbarians showed up, no one would dare lay a finger on him!
And second, to prevent Xu Yang from probing deeper secrets!
Yet Xu Yang actually made it here on his own!
"Xu Yang, you dog—" Surihan’s eyes instantly reddened at the sight of Xu Yang, but halfway through the sentence, he choked it back down forcibly.
With so many people here, and Tuoba Hongyu around, there was no chance of killing Xu Yang now!
If Xu Yang exposed that Jade Talisman to everyone...
He’d completely lose it!
"How’d you get here?"
The young Barbarian man who’d first spotted him fixed Xu Yang with a sharp glare, hostile and cold.
"Who are you?"
Xu Yang frowned very slightly.
The youth gave a cold laugh. "First of the Ten Blood Generals—Tuoba Dajiang!"
