Xu Yang’s expression shifted slightly.

This woman is so damn vigilant!

Leave?

If we leave, it’ll really be over.

Seeing Xu Yang fall silent, Huangfu Shaoyao smirked playfully, “What, not willing?”

Her eyes flashed with a cold, piercing light!

“Fine!”

Xu Yang rose and looked deeply at Huangfu Shaoyao, then suddenly bellowed, “Teacher, now!”

In an instant.

The seven Heaven-Locking Divine Chains in his Sea of Consciousness erupted, like lightning, locking down the blood-patterned ‘Suppress’ character!

“Knew you were up to something!”

“Xu Yang, you bastard, refuse to drink the toast and choose the penalty instead. This time, I’ll never let you off!”

Huangfu Qing flew into a rage; the blood-red glow in his brow flared violently, and without hesitation, he unleashed the Asura Blood Book, forcing out the blood-patterned ‘Suppress’ character!

Boom!

The ‘Suppress’ blood pattern went berserk.

Yet, though the seven Heaven-Locking Divine Chains trembled, they bound it tightly for three breaths!

And it was those three breaths.

Xu Yang unleashed the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, swallowing it whole in one go. Black flames burst out.

Spurt!

Huangfu Qing spat blood, his eyes round as saucers, and shrieked as if he’d seen a ghost, “Impossible! How could you eradicate the ‘Suppress’ blood pattern?”

Eradicated the blood pattern?

Huangfu Shaoyao was taken aback, shocked and wary, and slapped her palm at Xu Yang, “Even so, it’s no use!”

“Qin’Er, keep your eye on the Pill Emperor!”

Huangfu Qing, disregarding everything, summoned the Asura Blood Book, unleashing a vast sea of blood; the pages flipped one after another, each one like a bloody hell, sky-covering, bearing down on the Pill Emperor.

Xu Yang retreated swiftly.

The Pill Emperor soared upward, swept his sleeve.

Swish!

A fragment of a body shot out explosively.

Seeing this, Xu Yang’s eyes bulged.

“Could Teacher’s method against Huangfu Shaoyao really be a body fragment?”

The Pill Emperor’s body fragment, even after nearly a thousand years, still contained a terrifying, astonishing power.

Boom!

Divine radiance exploded, shaking heaven and earth!

Huangfu Shaoyao’s palm was torn apart instantly, her whole being swallowed by divine glow.

A shrill, miserable scream came from within; her shield shattered in an instant, skin split open, and she stumbled away in defeat.

“Damn it, what is that thing?”

Her eyes filled with terror, she immediately summoned the black umbrella.

However, Gu Jun unleashed a wisp of purple flame!

Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire!

Spurt!

The black umbrella shuddered with a boom, its surface ripped open by the purple fire burning straight through, cracks spreading across it at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huangfu Shaoyao’s eyes nearly burst, screeching as she fell!

In just a few blinks, the black umbrella was burned to dust by the Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire, nothing left but ashes.

“A shame.”

Gu Jun let out a long sigh.

All this happened in a flash.

The Asura Blood Book, wielded by Huangfu Qing, attacked like lightning, but Gu Jun merely lifted his gaze, without any other move.

Buzz!

The edges of this spatial realm’s illusion twisted abruptly.

The Asura Blood Book plunged as if into a mire, blood sea congealing, letting out a powerless roar!

Huangfu Qing’s eyes widened, blood vessels engorged, blood oozing from his orifices!

No matter how madly he tried to control it, the Asura Blood Book couldn’t break free from the formless spatial fetters!

“Honestly, you should’ve gone down fighting in the Purple Fire Celestial Prison.” Gu Jun gazed at the despairing Huangfu Qing and gave a faint smile.

On hearing this, Huangfu Qing’s blood reversed, his fury erupting in a roar!

“Qin’Er, go!”

Huangfu Shaoyao screamed hoarsely, heedless of her grievous wounds, and leapt up.

She realized clearly, both she and Huangfu Qing had completely underestimated the Pill Emperor.

Especially with the threat of the Asura Blood Book, they’d thought that even if the Pill Emperor had countermeasures, it wouldn’t change anything.

But they were dead wrong!

The methods of a Pill Emperor of this age were beyond imagining.

Swish!

Huangfu Shaoyao summoned the Ink Immortal Boat, and then followed up by summoning a Dark Gold Seal.

Both radiated suffocating ancient divine power!

Clearly, that Dark Gold Seal too was a treasure passed down from a True Monarch.

“Explode!”

Gu Jun’s face changed slightly. He cursed low, hurriedly let go of the Asura Blood Book, slapped it away, and summoned the illusory spatial realm, forcing it all toward Huangfu Shaoyao.

“It’s but a fragment of will—if I still had my body, hmph, with just a thought, any True Monarch’s Supreme Treasure would be imprisoned here at my whim.”

Rumble!!

The two treasures self-destructed, unleashing a sky-filling, world-devouring storm.

Space convulsed violently; though the illusory realm twisted fiercely, it still shielded against the destructive blast.

Separated by the realm, Xu Yang’s face was ghostly pale, heart pounding with fear.

Too terrifying.

This woman’s truly got guts.

At the critical moment, so decisive, not the least bit hesitant!

“Wait! Huangfu Qing!”

Xu Yang skittered his gaze, locking on Huangfu Qing who was about to flee, and charged straight at him.

Can’t let this bastard get away.

When Huangfu Qing saw Xu Yang, his eyes were blood-red.

The treasure was right within reach, yet he lost everything, even got ruthlessly played—he was on the verge of collapse, wishing he could devour Xu Yang alive.

“You bastard, just you wait!”

Huangfu Qing gnashed his teeth, but in the end, reason prevailed—he didn’t attack Xu Yang, but spat out a purple square seal.

“Didn’t he already fuse that purple seal to command the Asura Blood Book?”

Xu Yang was dumbfounded.

Whoosh!

The purple square seal before Huangfu Qing suddenly shattered into four pieces, transforming into a haze of purple spiritual light enveloping him.

Swish!

Purple light shot skyward, tearing through the edge of the realm and vanishing from sight.

“Teacher, what’s going on?” Xu Yang stiffened, turning to Gu Jun.

Gu Jun frowned, cursing, “Just how much crap did Mr. Huangfu leave for that Huangfu Family? Even the Yin Yang Purple Void Seal… There are two seals, an yin and a yang—the one fused earlier was the Yang Seal!”

“That little lass’s treasures had power too great; I can only channel a portion of realm force to seal things up right now.”

Xu Yang smiled bitterly.

The Huangfu Family truly is astonishing!

Not many people, not many strong ones, but these treasures—how many top clans in Daqian could even dream of such stuff?

At this point, it’s already the best outcome.

Let Huangfu Qing escape if he must.

As long as he didn’t get the ancient technique, that’s enough!

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked over at Huangfu Shaoyao.

The storm from the two treasures’ self-destruction shrunk under the realm’s suppression, bit by bit.

And Huangfu Shaoyao was still locked tightly mid-air, unable to move!

Her face was filled with despair and hate!

Full of regret!

But regret was useless now.

Xu Yang, the Pill Emperor—the temptation was just too great.

If they could control them, the Huangfu Family’s glory would be restored for sure.

Truth is, she and Huangfu Qing greatly overestimated themselves.

They thought that with all those supreme treasures, they could control everything!

“Pill Emperor, no wonder you’re the Pill Emperor—what methods!” Huangfu Shaoyao’s face was ashen, voice thick with unwillingness.

Gu Jun replied calmly, “Greed is original sin!”

“Were it not for your coveting of this ancient technique, you wouldn’t be in this mess!”

Huangfu Shaoyao sneered coldly.

Anyone can say that!

But who can resist such temptation?

Ask your own heart—Xu Yang couldn’t, either.

Now, the storm faded; the spatial realm returned to normal.

But compared to before, it was even more illusory—like one tremor might make it collapse!

Xu Yang grinned at Huangfu Shaoyao, “Remember what I told you before?”

Huangfu Shaoyao’s eyes twitched.

“I’m not interested in you, so don’t bother begging.”

“I’ll let you sample those torture methods you love so much!”

“If you want someone to blame, blame Huangfu Qing.”
