Chapter 847: Chapter 845: Mangy Dog

"Star Fury Elixir!"

"Ghost Eagle Essence Blood!"

"Purest Essence Qi!"

"Seven-Colored Mystic Womb!"

At this moment, all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures hidden within the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod surged simultaneously into his twelfth-grade immortal foundation.

BOOM!

A terrifying torrent instantly submerged the void of his Dantian. Even something as strong as his twelfth-grade immortal foundation trembled endlessly under this majestic energy. The overflowing waves surged into his bones and limbs, nearly tearing his physical body apart. Thick streams of blood oozed out, only to be silently annihilated by the berserk energy the very next instant.

ROAR!

Xu Yang couldn’t help but throw his head back and roar, his body convulsing in agony. The aura surrounding him surged wildly, rising like roaring flames. In the blink of an eye, he fiercely tore through his bottleneck, ascending to the Late Stage of Celestial Immortal.

CRACK!

A sound echoed through the void like a clap of thunder, as if the firmament itself had been forcefully shattered. The sheer impact left everyone’s minds completely blank and their senses dazed.

"Source of the Wind Division." Xu Yang shot up into the sky, raising his Daluo Saber. By directly channeling the Source of the Wind Division, he unleashed his most powerful strike.

The Star Fury Elixir caused his strength to skyrocket. He had devoured all the various natural treasures, including the Ghost Eagle Essence Blood, the Purest Essence Qi, and the Seven-Colored Mystic Womb. Although it caused his flesh to tear, the resulting enhancement was beyond imagination.

His divine might oppressed the heavens and earth, causing them to shudder endlessly as if on the verge of shattering. The terrifying, ferocious might emanating from Jiang Yue Long was instantly submerged—like a violent storm battering a single lotus leaf. It was an overwhelming advantage.

"Oh no."

"How is this possible?" Jiang Yue Long’s expression changed drastically, his eyes widening in disbelief. The overwhelming storm of saber energy left him suffocating, making his scalp tingle.

He couldn’t block it! He absolutely couldn’t block it!

In a split second, he desperately ignited waves of majestic immortal essence that resembled a vast ocean. These energies intertwined and manifested into massive ancient beasts and endless lakes, which he frantically hurled forward.

RUMBLE!

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

The moment all these constructs collided with the storm, they crumbled and disintegrated as easily as brittle paper, offering absolutely no resistance.

WHOOSH!

With a miserable shriek, Jiang Yue Long’s figure was completely swallowed by the attack.

Silence reigned over the entire martial arts arena, both inside and out. Prodigies like Liou Xueyan, Hong Xiaoxing, Qingyue, and Song Tianlin stood dumbfounded, looking as if they had just seen a ghost.

This outcome was far beyond anyone’s expectations. How could Xu Yang be this strong?

Not to mention the other cultivators present—they were so shocked that their scalps went numb.

Liou Sanqian even collapsed onto his butt, letting out a heavy sigh as all the worry vanished from his face. He had been more afraid than anyone else that Xu Yang would lose this battle.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

The saber energy rampaged, surging with turbulent waves that refused to subside. The terrifying shockwaves made people’s hearts pound in fear; even separated by the restrictive barriers, they still felt as if their skin was being torn apart.

Xu Yang stood suspended in midair, grasping his Daluo Saber. He forcefully swallowed the coppery taste of blood rising in his throat and fixed his gaze on a particular spot. Dealing with Jiang Yue Long wasn’t difficult. This was exactly the confidence that had allowed him to accept this challenge.

By devouring all the resources on his person, he had capitalized on the fact that his foundation was already mostly stabilized while at the Middle Stage of Celestial Immortal. Breaking through to the Late Stage of Celestial Immortal, coupled with the boost from the Star Fury Elixir... Jiang Yue Long? One strike was enough to defeat him.

As the turbulent energy dissipated, it revealed a devastated landscape full of craters. Jiang Yue Long lay miserably in the center of a cracked crater. Bathed in blood, his body twitched uncontrollably while a pair of crimson, ferocious eyes glared daggers at Xu Yang.

He couldn’t believe he had actually lost. And lost so terribly at that.

"You little bastard... you actually dared to hurt me," Jiang Yue Long roared in pain. He struggled vehemently, eventually managing only to half-kneel on the ground. He couldn’t even stand up. His entire body was covered in saber wounds so deep that bone was visible. Blood continuously oozed from his cuts, and beads of blood kept dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"You were the one who challenged me to a gambling duel. What, I’m not even allowed to injure you? Why are you even wandering around outside? You might as well go back home and let them treat you like a precious treasure," Xu Yang mocked ruthlessly.

His words immediately sparked a roar of laughter from the crowd. Despite their initial shock, the truth was that they genuinely despised Jiang Yue Long. Hearing him being ridiculed so harshly was incredibly satisfying.

He couldn’t even be injured? Then why the hell did he engage in a duel?

Compared to Jiang Yue Long, Xu Yang seemed refined, elegant, and infinitely more pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Yue Long’s face turned livid, his expression turning terrifying. "You cheated! You used underhanded tricks to win! This victory is dishonorable, and I refuse to accept it!"

When those words echoed, the crowd exchanged bewildered glances. Hong Xiaoxing couldn’t hold back anymore and angrily cursed, "Jiang Yue Long, you shameless piece of trash! Are you even a man?

"I’ve never seen someone so thick-skinned and shameless.

"This is just too disgraceful.

"Cheating? Using underhanded tricks? Are those even words a normal person would say?

"Isn’t using your means a part of your own strength? Does that mean only you are allowed to unleash powerful Divine Techniques, and no one else is?

"You were so arrogant and insolent before making a move, and now that you’ve lost, you’re being a sore loser?"

It wasn’t just Hong Xiaoxing; the crowd erupted in agreement, their mockery relentless. Although they feared Jiang Yue Long, there were tens of thousands of cultivators present—could he really kill them all? For a moment, nothing but endless curses filled the air.

Xu Yang was deeply surprised, entirely incapable of understanding how this guy had the nerve to utter such words.

"So this is the number one prodigy of the Canglan River? You’ve really opened my eyes."

"..."

Jiang Yue Long’s entire body trembled. Listening to the surrounding insults and ridicule, the killing intent in his eyes skyrocketed from sheer rage. He wished he could suddenly spring up and butcher everyone outside.

He stared fixedly at Xu Yang, his viciousness fully exposed. "You little bastard, you dare humiliate my Canglan River! You deserve a thousand deaths!

"Make your move! Capture him for me!"

As his voice faded...

A certain spot in the distance suddenly distorted. Accompanied by soaring ocean waves, a figure shot out with lightning speed, plunging straight into the martial arts arena.

A terrifying aura immediately engulfed the heavens and the earth, instantly causing the tens of thousands of cultivators to fall dead silent. They shivered in terror, their minds paralyzed with dread.

"Late Stage of Golden Immortal!" The crowd was completely dumbfounded.

"Shameless! How truly shameless!"

"Jiang Yue Long has absolutely no shame left. He’s a disgrace to the prodigies of the Eastern Continent."

"Even Situ Ke isn’t as bad as him."

"This guy is nothing but a mangy dog."

"The young one loses, so the old one steps in—and they do it in broad daylight!"

"Damn it!" Xu Yang’s expression darkened drastically as he frantically retreated. He never could have imagined that the dignified rank six expert on the Dragon and Tiger List, as well as a top-tier immortal sect like the Canglan River, could be so utterly shameless.

To act so blatantly right in front of tens of thousands of cultivators—had they really abandoned all face? How could a scumbag like this survive until now? He had initially thought that while Jiang Yue Long might be a bastard, he was at least a top-tier prodigy who would possess a shred of a bottom line.

Only now did Xu Yang realize that he had vastly overestimated him.

A bottom line? There was absolutely no bottom line at all.

"You little brat! You dare injure our young master and humiliate our Canglan River? It would be intolerable to the heavens if you didn’t die!" The incoming old man chuckled savagely, casting aside all dignity as he clawed down with his palm.

"Extremely shameless!" Xu Yang roared in anger, swinging his saber to strike back.

"Stop!" Liou Sanqian was overwhelmed with fury. "Mr. Xu is an esteemed guest of our Heaven’s Edge Pavilion! The Canglan River is pushing things too far!"

However, the old man paid him no mind.

CLANG!

The Daluo Saber let out a mournful hum. Xu Yang spat an arrow of blood, plummeting to the ground like a massive boulder.

The martial arts arena trembled violently, kicking up a massive wave of shattered dust. The might of the Late Stage of Golden Immortal was completely unstoppable!

Xu Yang twitched in agony. Countless fissures split open all over his body, causing blood to splatter wildly. Even a beast like the Ghost Eagle at least cared somewhat about its reputation.

He struggled to lift his head, glaring at the old man who was looking down on him from above. Killing intent surged in his eyes like a tidal wave.

"You old bastard... If you can’t kill me now, I will definitely slice you into a thousand pieces!"

"You reckless piece of trash." The old man’s expression darkened. With a cold snort, he caused Xu Yang’s vision to go black and forced another large mouthful of blood from his lips.

"Trying to fight me? Hmph.

"I’m definitely taking your immortal foundation.

"Heaven’s Edge Pavilion? If you have the guts, call out the Pavilion Master of the Heaven’s Edge Pavilion!"

Jiang Yue Long struggled to climb to his feet. He trembled unsteadily, looking so miserable that one couldn’t bear to look directly at him, yet the sinister coldness on his face was bone-chilling.

He was a maniac!

Relying on the backing of the Canglan River, he refused to follow any rules and wouldn’t even admit defeat.
