Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 233 - 231: Clash of Dragon and Tiger

"Huang Hua, you people from Wuhou Hall are pushing it too far!"

Bai Jingxue’s pretty face darkened, glaring angrily.

From the back came Gon Lang’s malicious laughter: "Duels among the young are the most normal thing. If you lack confidence, you can just choose not to accept!"

Could Gon Lang dare speak like this without the Hall Master’s signal?

Everyone in Wuhou Hall was holding back a belly full of anger and resentment!

"That’s right, Xu Yang, if you’re scared, just admit defeat!"

"Just admit you’re worthless."

"What? D’you have the guts?"

The disciples of Wuhou Hall got excited all of a sudden.

The sudden return of Huang Hua and Huangfu Qing gave them hope to vent their frustrations!

Zheng Qi was strong, but he was nowhere near Huang Hua’s league!

"Xu Yang..." Bai Jingxue looked at Xu Yang, worried he might act on impulse!

Between Huang Hua and Zheng Qi, there’s still a third rank in between them!

Incredibly powerful!

These two were recognized as the top prodigies of Central Continent—first and second place respectively—no one could shake their status.

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, slowly turning his gaze back to the many disciples of Wuhou Hall.

With one sweeping look, the uproar instantly died!

The fear from the earlier duel still lingered, making everyone feel like prey stalked by a starving wolf, terrified into silence!

"You think you’re worthy to call me trash?"

A cold, mocking laugh rang out, turning everyone’s faces pale, furious but not daring to speak!

Xu Yang is trash?

Then what does that make Zheng Qi?

And all those Marquises and Titled Marquises of Wuhou Hall?

Huang Hua impatiently barked, "Cut the crap. Do you dare, or not?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Xu Yang sneered coldly.

Huangfu Qing looked wild and unruly, casting Xu Yang a disdainful glance, paying him no mind at all. He spoke indifferently: "Don’t let him leave Wuhou Hall in one piece."

"Hmph, you telling me that?"

Huang Hua was full of dissatisfaction, also treating Xu Yang as beneath notice.

Defeating Zheng Qi?

So what?

Zheng Qi would be lucky to last ten moves against him!

"Wait!"

"Count me in too!"

A shout abruptly came from the entrance to Wuhou Hall.

Everyone turned to look.

A young man approached, sword on his back.

"Who are you?" Huang Hua frowned.

"Ning Wuyang!!"

Huangfu Qing’s pupils shrank, a flicker of dread in his eyes!

"Who’s Ning Wuyang?"

"Hiss, Ning Wuyang? He’s Ning Wuyang?"

"Direct disciple of the West Ling Sword Saint—why is he here?"

"Don’t forget, the West Ling Sword Saint Jian Chuan seems to side with Xu Yang."

"So that’s why!"

"Ning Wuyang rarely makes a move, but his strength is fearsome—is he here to challenge—"

Those who recognized Ning Wuyang all exclaimed in shock!

His name and power were in no way inferior to Huang Hua and Huangfu Qing, only he seldom fought and wasn’t well known!

But as the only direct disciple of the West Ling Sword Saint, anyone who knew of him wouldn’t dare underestimate him one bit!

"Huangfu Qing, up for some fun?" Ning Wuyang didn’t even bother glancing at Huang Hua, glaring provocatively at Huangfu Qing!

Huang Hua’s face darkened. Hearing the name ’Ning Wuyang,’ he finally remembered who this was, and though wary, looked at him with some doubt as well.

Huangfu Qing said coolly, "A fight then. I’m also curious to see the Sword Saint’s disciple’s skills."

Ning Wuyang turned and nodded slightly at Xu Yang, striding toward an open patch of ground.

Xu Yang was even more surprised by Ning Wuyang’s sudden appearance.

Watching Ning Wuyang and Huangfu Qing heading to the side, Xu Yang licked his lips involuntarily.

Huang Hua comes to provoke him, and Ning Wuyang provokes Huangfu Qing!

Though Huangfu Qing was the number one Marquis Wu, Ning Wuyang’s strength was hardly inferior.

A battle between dragons and tigers!

In terms of excitement and appeal, it far surpassed the fight with Zheng Qi earlier!

"Whatever happens, Mr. Ning has stepped in. If I lose this match, I’ll really disgrace him." Xu Yang grinned.

"You think you can win?"

Huang Hua acted as if he’d heard the funniest joke ever: "Even Ning Wuyang might not beat Huangfu Qing, and you? You’ve got no hope at all!"

"Come on, kid—make your move!"

"As you wish!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yang exploded into action like lightning.

Boom!

One saber swing tore through a hundred-zhang radius, saber intent shooting to the heavens, shaking the world!

Huang Hua’s eyes twitched: "Comparable to Myriad Phenomena... No wonder Zheng Qi lost!"

"But I’m not that piece of trash!"

Boom!

He stepped forward, hand clasped into a curved fist.

Bam!

The saber light shattered; his vast power was like a mighty ocean and boundless mountains, crushing the saber intent in one blow.

The Demon Dragon Saber clanged as it was knocked back!

Xu Yang’s wrist trembled; astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Definitely much stronger than Zheng Qi!"

Huang Hua’s single strike was no weaker than Zheng Qi’s Celestial Spirit Pattern trump card!

Wuhou Hall’s top prodigies really were something else. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"To win against this guy..."

Xu Yang’s gaze sharpened, immediately activating Cangxu Divine Eyes!

He hadn’t even used this pupil technique against Zheng Qi before!

Buzz!!

Huang Hua’s blurry figure instantly became crystal clear in his sight.

Xu Yang’s body flickered, saber slashing furiously!

All his True Essence erupted without restraint!

Boom!

Bam!

Thunderous explosions shook the heavens and earth.

Elsewhere, Ning Wuyang and Huangfu Qing had also begun their clash.

Sword light blazed dazzling, biting cold and fierce!

Even other Titled Marquis Wu could only make out vague afterimages and shards of light, unable to see the four’s true bodies!

For those with weaker cultivation, just a glance or two stung their eyes as if being torn apart!

The shock continued to spread!

"Terrifying."

"They don’t seem like twenty- or thirty-year-old young prodigies at all!"

"Even the backbone of the great sects might not match them!"

"Four Yang Realm—this is Yang Realm, seriously?"

"Ning Wuyang is formidable alright; that sword intent makes it impossible for me to even must up the will to fight him!"

"Mr. Huang and Mr. Huangfu will surely win!"

...

BOOM!!

Two figures rebounded back in unison, revealing their true forms.

Xu Yang was pale-faced, feeling far more pressure from Huang Hua than he had ever felt from Zheng Qi.

This guy’s strength had reached a state of perfection!

Speed, perception, means—all top tier!

"Luckily I have Cangxu Divine Eyes!"

"Plus, he still doesn’t know I possess the Spirit Lock Seal and Lock God Seal—those moves can turn the situation at the critical moment!"

Xu Yang muttered to himself.

"Not bad, I underestimated you."

Huang Hua reined in his contempt, but his confidence in himself was unshaken.

He grinned, murderous intent clear as day!

"Warm-up’s over—the real show begins!"

Before the words even faded, his aura flared tremendously!

As mighty as a towering mountain, he churned the void, stirring vast, oceanic waves!

"Celestial Spirit Hammer!"

Huang Hua roared, fist clenched, as if a giant hammer smashed the heavens and earth.

BOOM!

"The real show is just getting started!"

Xu Yang lowly intoned, stepping forward, Demon Dragon Saber raised, the savage might of six heavens pouring out!

Roar!

Boom!

At the instant of collision, it was like two hidden realms smashing together—earth-shattering, space itself almost splitting!

Every Myriad Phenomena Realm elite looked stricken with shock.

The two battlefields at once—barely possible to keep up!

"Today’s two battles—they absolutely count as the top prodigy duels in all Daqian!" a strong cultivator muttered in awe.

"Look, Xu Yang’s getting suppressed."

"He’s got powerful moves, but Huang Hua trumps him in both momentum and pure force!"

"Is he out of his mind? Abandoning his proud spirit blade and going toe-to-toe with Huang Hua?"

"Huang Hua cultivates the ’Thick Earth Emperor Scripture,’ mastering the ways of the earth; he’s best at attrition and close combat—Xu Yang’s just digging his own grave!"

The strong all gasped, seeing Xu Yang’s actions and shaking their heads with mocking laughs.
