Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 185 - 183: Qin Yu Suffers a Devastating Blow
Goodness gracious!
Still trying to pull a fast one on me?
Xu Yang sharply sensed the fleeting killing intent on Qin Yu, and he was utterly stunned.
He shook his head slightly, too lazy to bother, and walked straight onto the Array.
"The payment’s been made, time to head out!"
Qin Yu and Qin Feng snapped out of their shock, exchanged a glance, and Qin Yu pushed down the murderous intent in her heart.
The two of them quickly stepped onto the Array, standing at the corner that led to Qingzhou!
Then, the ancient Teleportation Array was activated!
BOOM!
With a deafening crash, dazzling spiritual light erupted like a geyser, surging wildly and engulfing the entire cave!
Boom!
Crack!
Violent sounds of shattering and collapsing rang out one after another!
The very instant the three vanished into thin air, the mountain wall completely caved in, the ground split to pieces, and even the ancient Array seemed to reach its limit. Cracks webbed out like a spider’s net, and in a matter of seconds, it fell apart, turning to dust and rubble!
A low hill collapsed, kicking up a wave of dust shooting through the air.
Soon it began to settle!
...
Qingzhou, Red Crystal Mountain!
Inside a mountain belly streaked with congealed lava flows, one side had magma roaring and surging, the other was scorched so red and crystalline it almost glowed.
On the ground, there was an unassuming, ancient little Teleportation Array!
The Array markings were worn, weathered, and obscure!
At this moment—
The Array suddenly blazed as light flashed; as the radiance faded, three figures appeared out of thin air!
It was Xu Yang and the others!
"There’s actually another small Teleportation Array!"
Xu Yang was startled when he saw the array at his feet.
The old Teleportation Array in Leizhou must’ve been no trivial thing. By the look of it, anywhere marked for teleportation probably used to have one of these small Arrays as a relay!
No idea who set them up, but nowadays, there can’t be many left!
Plus, with the main Teleportation Array in Leizhou collapsing, this little one would be useless too—a useless ornament!
"Who’s there? Get your ass out here!"
Xu Yang suddenly looked up toward the cave entrance inside the mountain.
"More people?"
Qin Yu and Qin Feng’s faces drained of color in horror.
After what happened before, neither of them hesitated; they instantly got on guard.
"A measly Yin Realm, and you actually spotted me?"
"Interesting!"
An old man stepped into the mountain cave, looking at Xu Yang with visible surprise!
Behind him were four young men!
"Yang Realm—they’ve got three Yang Realm cultivators!"
Qin Feng’s face was deathly pale!
When Qin Yu heard that, it was like a thunderbolt—she grabbed Qin Feng with all her might!
Despair washed over her heart completely!
Even if Xu Yang could kill Yang Realm experts, that guy from before was only Early Stage Yang Realm.
This old man in front of them, he gave her a terrifying, suffocating feeling that made the guy from Leizhou seem weak as hell!
At the very least, he’s Middle Stage Yang Realm!
"You all..."
Xu Yang frowned slightly. This old man was Middle Stage Yang Realm; the four behind were two Early Stage Yang Realm, two Yin Realm Perfection.
There’s an Array here, and it’s a volcano zone. They must’ve discovered this place a long time ago to lie in wait!
The old man chuckled coldly, completely dismissing Xu Yang and the other two.
"Where did you come from? What’s on the other end of this Array?"
That was what really got him curious.
He’d discovered this place over a month ago.
To avoid danger or surprises, he hadn’t touched it—just hoped to catch someone some day.
Never thought a bunch of weaklings from the Yin Realm would show up!
"S-Senior, we came from Leizhou!"
"The other end was just another ancient Teleportation Array, nothing there; and right after we finished teleporting, it collapsed!"
Qin Yu stammered in terror.
"Please, Senior, spare our lives!"
The old man shot a sidelong glance, his voice icy: "Toss over your Storage Rings!"
Evidently, he didn’t buy it!
Qin Yu and Qin Feng didn’t dare hesitate—even for a second. They hurriedly took off their Storage Rings.
"Search them!"
Two young men strode forward.
The old man fixed his gaze on Xu Yang: "And you?"
Xu Yang said blandly, "Can you tell me if this is Qingzhou?"
"Qingzhou, Red Crystal Mountain," the old man said offhandedly.
They actually made it to Qingzhou!
Xu Yang’s face lit up with joy, but then he said, "Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t hand it over."
Before the old man could react, the young man behind him’s face darkened, vanishing in an instant.
"You’re asking for death!"
The one who made a move was Early Stage Yang Realm!
Qin Yu glanced at Xu Yang with pity—Stupid, absolutely brainless. Who does he think he is?
"Senior, we have nothing to do with him! Just ran into him on the road and brought him along!"
She hurried to distance herself from him.
BOOM!
A loud crash as the young man was tossed into the lava—he didn’t even have time to scream before the churning magma swallowed him whole, and he was instantly silenced!
Within the cave, everyone was dumbstruck, frozen like idiots!
"That’s it?"
Xu Yang eyed the old man, toying with him.
The old man’s facial muscles contorted; his eyes brimmed with murderous frenzy: "You brat, you dare kill a disciple of my Yuanli Sect? I’ll tear you limb from limb!"
BOOM!
The might of a Middle Stage Yang Realm exploded savagely—like a colossal invisible hand, it pressed so hard the surging magma on the left actually caved in!
Xu Yang’s face was emotionless; he took a step forward!
No one could see him make a move.
The old man, halfway through his charge, seemed struck by an unseen lightning bolt!
"Aaahhhh~~~"
He let out a piercing scream, slammed into some invisible wall, and was sent hurtling into the mountain wall, sliding down bonelessly—every bone in his body shattered, bleeding from all five orifices!
The old man’s body was twisted and slumped, half-leaning against the wall, the whites of his eyes bulged in terror—he was downright horrifying to look at!
Gulp!
The remaining three from Yuanli Sect swallowed hard. Now they realized they’d kicked an iron plate!
Shocked out of their minds, the three spun on their heels and ran for it!
"Run!!"
"Thought you could run?"
Xu Yang glanced over, sneer in his eyes!
He didn’t move an inch—but his Spiritual Power exploded forth!
Thwack!
There was a sharp crack in the air, like arrows splitting the wind!
Before the sound faded, all three jerked like they were hit by lightning—spitting out blood, collapsing in a heap, stone dead in an instant!
In the blink of an eye, wiped out!
The cave was blazing hot, its air wild and violent!
But right now, Qin Yu just felt icy all over, like she’d plunged into a frozen lake!
Terror crashed over her like a wave!
She couldn’t stop herself from trembling.
This hit her like the sky collapsing!
He didn’t use some weird Secret Technique to kill the Yang Realm—this was his real strength!
Yin Realm Perfection, killed a Middle Stage Yang Realm in a second!
Is this guy even human?
She didn’t care if Xu Yang was human or not—she just felt endless fear.
She’d tried more than once to kill him and take his money!
Thinking back, the guy was damn merciful!
Qin Feng was just as shocked—and just as scared!
Thud!
Qin Yu suddenly dropped to her knees, pleading, "Big bro, please spare me!"
"I didn’t know what I was doing before! I’m willing to be your servant, please, just spare my life!"
She kept knocking her head on the floor until it was raw and bloody, begging like her life depended on it—the fear in her heart was like a dam burst, pouring out uncontrollably!
Qin Feng’s entire body trembled. He dropped to his knees too, begging for forgiveness.
Xu Yang glanced back at the two, shaking his head slightly.
He hadn’t paid them any mind at all!
So, with a single look, Xu Yang’s body flickered and flashed out of the cave like lightning.
The siblings froze for a second, then nervously raised their heads—seeing no one there, they didn’t dare make the slightest move, just cautiously observed their surroundings!
Dozens of breaths later—
The two finally exchanged glances, and what they saw reflected in each other’s eyes was absolute relief and post-trauma palpitations from surviving!
"We should go..."
Qin Yu was totally limp on the ground, drenched in cold sweat, her face pale as paper, gasping for breath her eyes completely empty!
The shock in her heart was beyond words!
Looking at the five corpses still lying there, then at the empty cave entrance—both of them felt like they were still inside some dream!
