Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 194 - 192: Exposure

"Li Xuan, you didn’t expect this, did you? I’ve already broken through to the Middle Stage of the Yang Realm."

Bailong wore a smug look, sneering, "Last time you dared to snatch my stuff, today I’m going to make you pay it all back with interest!"

It really is Bailong!

"This idiot isn’t even running yet. Hmph! Not that it would matter if he did!" Bailong’s companion sneered, thinking Xu Yang only had Early Stage Yang Realm cultivation!

Xu Yang gritted his teeth, "I’ll give you my Storage Ring, just spare me this once!"

"Let you go?"

Bailong burst out laughing, "In your fucking dreams!"

Before his words faded, he shot out like an arrow!

Xu Yang cursed inwardly and turned to flee!

Honestly, these two were no match for him at all in his eyes.

But fighting would only mean exposing himself!

Killing them was definitely out of the question!

By comparison, running away was the most suitable choice!

I’m not your match, but I have my special escape methods—a perfect excuse!

Whoosh!

Xu Yang dashed away like lightning, putting a huge gap between them in just a few blinks of an eye.

Bailong gaped in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

"He’s just Early Stage Yang Realm, how can he be faster than me?"

His companion was even more dumbstruck!

Still, the two didn’t give up the chase!

"Damn it, this guy must’ve cultivated some kind of movement Secret Technique!"

"I don’t believe he can keep it up for long!"

"After him!"

Bailong gritted his teeth and unleashed his full power!

But after just a dozen breaths, he furiously realized they’d completely lost Xu Yang’s trail!

Lost him!

Actually, not so much lost, as Xu Yang had just run so far ahead they had no way to catch up!

"Goddammit!!"

Bailong stared wide-eyed, totally dazed!

He couldn’t accept this, not even in his wildest dreams!

Suddenly.

A loud boom sounded from far away.

The two exchanged shocked glances, then immediately sped toward the noise.

Soon, Bailong saw Xu Yang fighting a group of people!

Six or seven men, all Yang Realm, each more vicious-looking than the last!

One look and you could tell they weren’t pushovers!

Xu Yang’s face was full of helplessness.

His luck was rotten to this degree—there was nothing he could do!

This was a gang of vicious bandits!

He had just arrived and saw them cleaning up corpses, and before a word could be spoken, they attacked him.

At least four were Late Stage Yang Realm!

At this point, he had no choice but to reveal his true strength.

"Bailong, something’s off. These guys must be local bandits. Look at the corpses on the ground—they just finished a slaughter!"

"Shit, wasn’t that guy only Early Stage Yang Realm? He actually insta-killed a Late Stage Yang Realm!"

"What the fuck!!"

Bailong shrieked, frozen like a statue.

Seeing those Late Stage Yang Realm powerhouses drop screaming after just a brief exchange—it was like a living nightmare!

Is this really Li Xuan?

"No, impossible!"

"He’s not Li Xuan!"

Bailong shouted, and his companion trembled fiercely, screaming, "Don’t tell me...!"

The two exchanged a look, then simultaneously pulled out their Communication Spirit Talismans!

Just then, the two shuddered as if plunged into an ice cave!

A terrifying wave of murderous force crashed toward them!

In just a few breaths, Xu Yang had wiped out the group and turned back!

Bailong looked up, meeting a pair of icy cold eyes. A shudder ran down his spine!

He knew Li Xuan too well.

This was absolutely not Li Xuan!

"You—you, who the hell are you?" Bailong stammered shakily!

"Didn’t you already guess?"

Xu Yang sneered, unleashing his Spiritual Power!

Boom!

Bailong and his companion reeled as if struck by lightning, their eyes rolled back and they passed out cold.

Xu Yang picked up the two Communication Spirit Talismans and sighed in relief—good thing, the message hadn’t been sent!

Tossing the talismans aside, he didn’t linger, fleeing at full speed.

He still had time to put distance between himself and pursuit!

Soon after he left, a black speck suddenly flashed across the sky, growing rapidly—it was a flying monster!

The flying monster wheeled in the air, immediately noticing activity on the ground.

With a shriek, it dived down and sniffed around Bailong’s body, as if trying to distinguish some unique scent.

Just a few breaths later, the monster suddenly opened its huge blood-red maw, tearing straight into Bailong’s throat with its razor-sharp teeth!

"Ah~~~"

Bailong let out a blood-curdling scream, his eyes going wide, dumbly staring at the hideous jaws right in front of his face, then his eyes rolled back. Dead for real now!

At the same time—

Zhou Wang trembled all over, a wild look in his eyes as a glowing dot on the ancient scroll before him suddenly faded to darkness.

"Xu Yang, you son of a bitch, you finally showed yourself!"

Whoosh!

He shot into the sky, sending out message after message at the same time.

...

"It’s a message from Mr. Zhou—they’ve actually found Xu Yang."

"Hurry, let’s get over there!"

"Fuck, he finally showed up!"

"Wait, the location isn’t far from us—move, move, move!!"

...

A quarter hour passed.

Xu Yang finally relaxed a little, recovering some of his energy while maintaining his top speed.

At most half an hour more and he’d be totally free. Once he got past Yuanli Sect’s territory and out of the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association’s encirclement, he could just find somewhere to hide—no one would ever find him!

Roar!

A shriek came from the sky.

Xu Yang glanced up, and his face instantly soured.

The flying monster blazed toward him—it had locked onto him directly!

"Shit!"

Xu Yang sensed trouble—his speed spiked instantly!

"Did I get exposed?"

"How could this be?"

Xu Yang couldn’t believe it.

Bailong and his companion should be out cold for days at the very least.

How could I have been found out so soon?

Besides, I’d tossed away my token, Spirit Cave Pearl, and all the Spirit Talismans.

The flying monster refused to give up. Xu Yang sprinted dozens of miles before coming to an abrupt halt.

Two Martial Artists burst at him from the side, their Spiritual Power sweeping out to probe the surroundings!

"Over here!"

"Found him!"

Their booming shouts echoed crazily.

The two charged straight for Xu Yang. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

One was Yang Realm Perfection, the other Late Stage Yang Realm!

Now totally exposed, Xu Yang’s body trembled, and he dropped all surface disguises.

He faced the two and unleashed the Lock God Seal with a wave of his hand!

Boom!

"Careful, it’s a Spiritual Power Secret Skill!"

"Aaargh~~~"

Even though they were prepared, both still got hit—the Sea of Consciousness defenses smashed apart by the Lock God Seal, loosing agonized screams.

With the huge boost in Spiritual Power, even a Yang Realm Perfection master would suffer terribly under the assault of the Lock God Seal!

Xu Yang flashed in, slashing madly with his blade!!

Splurt-splurt!!

Hot blood splashed everywhere!

Even the mighty Yang Realm Perfection and Late Stage practitioners didn’t even get a chance to fight back—slain with ease!

Talk about a humiliating way to die!

After killing the pair, Xu Yang turned to leave, but suddenly had a thought. He curved his palm and struck, shattering the two corpses.

He quickly formed a spell sign. The flesh and blood on the ground squirmed and slithered, crawling up his body!

In just a few blinks of an eye—

He had transformed into the likeness of the Late Stage Yang Realm Martial Artist!

Xu Yang flicked his sleeve to wipe away the faint traces on the ground, took one last look back, then leaped forward and kept running.

Half a quarter hour later—

A wave of Myriad Phenomena Realm pressure swept in from behind.

Xu Yang’s heart tensed, but he pretended to be casual and looked back.

A familiar figure rushed into view.

Xu Yang feigned delight: "Mr. Zhou, Xu Yang went that way! I didn’t dare chase too close!"

He casually pointed Zhou Wang in a direction!

Zhou Wang grinned viciously, "Little bastard, you won’t escape!"

Before his words even faded, he shot off in the direction Xu Yang had indicated, not hesitating for a moment!
