Chapter 175: Chapter 173: Hostage

Boom!

The Qian Martial Artist screamed in agony, blood spurting, yet before his body could even stagger back, a massive hand appeared like a shadow from thin air, clamping down precisely on his neck!

Crack!

The crisp snap was music to the ears, blood spraying like a fountain!

Xu Yang casually tossed the corpse to the ground.

“Miss Huaning!”

He bowed respectfully to Helan Huaning, a sycophantic smile spreading across his somewhat stiff face!

“Still trying to run? Hmph!”

Helan Huaning gave the corpse on the ground a vicious kick, then looked at Xu Yang and nodded with satisfaction. “Not bad, what’s your name?”

Call me your daddy!

Xu Yang cursed silently, but his expression turned obsequious and thrilled: “Miss Huaning, your subordinate is Yun Lie, from the Kunwu Division!”

After staying with the Barbarian Race for so long, making up a Barbarian name was child’s play!

Helan Huaning lifted her chin arrogantly and turned to leave, but suddenly halted in her tracks!

Seeing this, Xu Yang’s heart skipped a beat.

“Why is there a whiff of death here?”

Helan Huaning didn’t suspect Xu Yang, just muttered to herself with a slight frown.

However, the next second, her gaze turned suspiciously to Xu Yang.

That deathly aura seemed to be emanating from this guy?

Just as she looked toward Xu Yang, he made his move!

The spread of death energy was exactly due to his earlier strike!

At this point, Xu Yang had no other options!

Boom!

Terrifying Spiritual Power erupted like a torrential downpour, engulfing Helan Huaning!

Helan Huaning’s red lips parted in shock; before she could react, her soul was thunderstruck, her Sea of Consciousness roaring with a deafening boom!

Excruciating pain assailed her, and in an instant, her eyes rolled up; she fainted dead away!

Blood trickled from the corner of her lips, her face ghostly pale!

She was utterly powerless before Xu Yang’s overwhelming Spiritual Power!

“Damn it!”

Xu Yang cursed, snatching up Helan Huaning, instantly sensing her aura was perilously weak. Without a life-saving elixir, she’d be dead in no time!

Xu Yang’s expression shifted rapidly, then he scooped up Helan Huaning and streaked toward the city gate like lightning!

The sudden commotion caught the attention of a crowd of Barbarians near the city gate.

“Miss Huaning is gravely wounded!”

Xu Yang shouted as he ran, wearing a face of pure urgency!

The Barbarians glanced and sure enough—it was Helan Huaning: pale, breathing weak!

Realizing Helan Huaning was Helan Ying’s daughter, they all shuddered involuntarily!

Instinctively, everyone stepped aside—who would dare block her?

Xu Yang dashed out wildly, barely able to believe his luck!

He actually got out so easily?

Looking up ahead.

There were still Barbarian soldiers camped on both sides outside the city, ready for anything!

Xu Yang lowered his head and sprinted madly!

Thanks to his Barbarian disguise and carrying someone, nobody dared stop him.

Inside the city gate.

A Barbarian who looked like a Guard Captain suddenly frowned, “Wait, that can’t be right. General Helan just went in, there are only some soldiers outside— all the big shots are in the city!”

“If Miss Huaning is injured, shouldn’t help be sought inside the city?”

His face changed abruptly, and he immediately chased out.

As he charged out, he saw Xu Yang carrying Helan Huaning, sprinting like a maniac down the highway into the distance!

His face darkened again!

“Stop him!”

He barked a command, voice sharp as thunder!

From his team, a squad of Barbarian soldiers charged out at once.

Xu Yang didn’t look back, simply tossed Helan Huaning behind him like dead weight.

“Ah, that’s Miss Huaning!”

“Careful!”

Several Barbarians’ faces turned ashen, hastily catching her with extreme care!

“Chase him—quick!”

“Something’s wrong with that guy!”

The Guard Captain rushed up, pressed his finger to Helan Huaning, and, sensing her condition, his eye twitched fiercely, “Damn it, damn it!”

Meanwhile, Xu Yang glanced back, finally a little relieved!

Luckily, the Barbarians camping outside the city were mostly ordinary soldiers, not strong at all!

And those giving chase now were those very same grunts!

No real threat!

His speed soared again, nearly on par with the Late Stage of Yang Realm!

In a blink, he left the Barbarian soldiers in the dust, vanishing from sight.

Suddenly.

Xu Yang’s expression shifted subtly—he sidestepped sharply!

Boom!

A crossbow arrow as thick as an arm whistled from the sky, blasting into the earth!

“Who the hell are you?!”

A furious shout boomed like thunder!

Two towering Barbarians appeared in an instant.

One was clearly at the Middle Stage of Yang Realm, the other at the Late Stage!

The former was none other than that Guard Captain!

Xu Yang realized escape was impossible and his eyes flooded with killing intent!

Boom!

Flesh exploded from Xu Yang’s body, splattering in all directions, each bloody shard carrying a wild, savage force and transforming into terrifying streaks of crimson!

“Qian Man?”

“Xu Yang!”

“So it’s you!”

The two men were both shocked and ecstatic when they recognized him!

Everyone in the army knew Tuoba Hongyu was hunting Xu Yang!

This guy was a heaven-defying Alchemist!

“Take him alive!”

The two lunged with lightning speed!

Xu Yang’s face remained unreadable; body flickering, Demon Dragon Saber unsheathed, saber intent soaring to the heavens!

“World-Ending Saber!”

Crash!

The three collided mid-air with savage force. Xu Yang’s body shuddered, then—like a willow on the wind—he slid and floated, sweeping a Curved Palm Seal with his left hand across the Guard Captain’s body.

Spirit Lock Seal!

Lock God Seal!

Double seals unleashed!

The Guard Captain howled, crashing down miserably!

“You little bastard!”

The Late Stage Yang Realm Barbarian’s face was grim, veins bulging. He bellowed, activating his barbarian markings, transforming into a burning giant boulder that crashed down with an earth-shattering roar!

The spectacle was like a meteor shower, an apocalypse of destruction!

Swish!

Xu Yang moved like a wraith, weaving through the meteor strike, evading every crushing blow with uncanny precision.

In the blink of an eye—

He dodged clear without a scratch!

With the Cangxu Divine Eyes, everything could be avoided flawlessly!

“So that’s all the mighty Late Stage of Yang Realm has to show!”

Xu Yang smirked derisively.

“You’re looking to die!”

The Late Stage Yang Realm Barbarian roared in fury, pouncing again.

Xu Yang retreated rapidly, moving as if he had eyes in the back of his head. Sensing the Guard Captain rising to attack, he spun around just as the strike fell, blade flashing to intercept!

“Die!”

Xu Yang sneered, eyes fierce as the blade rang out—unstoppable as a thousand rampaging troops, smashing the Guard Captain down with irresistible might.

Spurt!

The saber edge swept from his chest to his neck in one blow.

The Guard Captain clutched his neck and collapsed in agony.

Seeing this left the other man gasping in horror!

A Middle Stage Yang Realm master killed as easily as slaughtering a chicken…

“You won’t escape even if you sprout wings today!”

Xu Yang must not escape!

The Late Stage Yang Realm Barbarian dropped his arrogance; barbarian marks flared, his whole form bathed in blazing Spirit Fire, transforming into a terrifying Blazing War God. In his hands, a Blazing Spirit Staff manifested out of thin air!

Crash!

One strike—earth-shattering!

“I’ll kill you in a single blow!”

Xu Yang barked coldly!

He stepped forward—the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant blazed!

The Cyan Jade Seal took form in an instant!

Triple amplification!

Dragon soul revived, Demon Dragon Saber screaming its battle cry!

Fourfold might exploded—the world itself twisted into an Asura Hell of no return!

“Annihilation!”

The saber rose like a black dragon; its destructive intent blotted out the sun, soul-crushing!

At the same time—

On the distant wild heights—

A group of Martial Artists stood, gazing far into the distance!

At the fore was a graceful woman, beautiful and alluring!

It was Su Yun herself!

“It’s Xu Yang!”

The middle-aged man at her side narrowed his eyes in excitement.

“He actually escaped from Beixuan City—what guts!”

“Truly, heaven has delivered us an opportunity!”

“Mr. Su, he’s yours. You should know what happens if you defy the Young Lord!” the man turned his gaze, ice-cold, onto Su Yun!
