Chapter 642: Chapter 416: Interception

His arm lost all feeling in an instant. His face flushed red, and he was sent flying backward.

His strength was on the same level as Yu Hong’s, but the current Xu Yang was far stronger than when he had slain Yu Hong.

"Azure Dragon Dominating Body! You’re Tu Gang!" the Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert screamed.

He recognized the Azure Dragon Dominating Body, but not the Dragon Symbols Heart Scripture. He assumed only the Azure Dragon Dominating Body could cultivate such an invincible Physique.

His opponent didn’t possess the unique Phenomenon of a Spirit Bone Celestial Pride. Among the current freshmen of the Celestial Strategy Academy, besides Huo Xiaochen, only Tu Gang had successfully cultivated the Azure Dragon Dominating Body. Huo Xiaochen naturally wouldn’t attack members of the Xiao Family, leaving only Tu Gang.

Xu Yang’s killing intent was chilling, his gaze icy. His figure suddenly vanished as he gave chase.

Just as the Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert caught his breath, a blindingly bright fist tore through the air, carrying a fist pressure that shattered the surrounding ground.

He tried to block, but Xu Yang had already seen through his Technique. The fist smashed right through the gap between his hands and landed heavily on his Protective Gang Yuan. Force erupted like a landslide or tsunami.

"CRACK!"

The newly erected Protective Gang Yuan was easily pierced through, covered in spiderweb-like cracks. Xu Yang’s fist struck with unstoppable momentum, planting itself solidly on the chest of the Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert.

"BANG!"

A sound like a heavy hammer striking a leather drum rang out. The Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert was struck as if by lightning, his body trembling. Terrifying fractures spread outward with Xu Yang’s fist at the center. The powerful Force forcefully smashed into his body, instantly shattering an untold number of bones.

"Ah..."

The Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert let out a miserable shriek. His eyes bulged, instantly becoming bloodshot, as blood involuntarily gushed from his wide-open mouth.

The intense pain made his vision go black but also triggered his ferocity. He struck out furiously with both Palms toward Xu Yang. However, having suffered heavy injuries, his Force could hardly be sustained. Although his Palms hit Xu Yang, they couldn’t even break through Xu Yang’s Protective Gang Yuan.

Xu Yang’s eyes were icy. He threw out another Cannon Fist. His fist tore through the air like a sharp arrow, passing between the Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert’s arms to strike his throat like a thrusting spear.

"CRACK!"

A teeth-aching sound of bone fracturing echoed. The Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert’s neck twisted at an exaggerated angle; his cervical vertebrae were broken, and white bone pierced through the flesh.

His eyes widened abruptly, and his miserable screams came to a sudden halt. His attacking hands froze in mid-air, and all movement ceased in that instant. The next moment, his body slumped limply to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Xu Yang didn’t even spare him a glance. Taking a step forward, he reached out to grab the bag the man had dropped earlier. To his surprise, the small bag felt extremely heavy—weighing at least two to three thousand pounds.

Opening it quickly, he saw a pitch-black object inside, brimming with Spirituality. It was none other than Celestial Star Tungsten Steel.

"Not bad!" He couldn’t help but smile. He hadn’t expected such a harvest right as he was about to leave Jade Dragon Mountain.

This piece of Celestial Star Tungsten Steel was quite large, roughly the size of two of his fists. It should weigh over three thousand pounds, more than enough to forge a saber.

Quickly stowing away the Celestial Star Tungsten Steel, he then blasted the corpse of the Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert into a pulp. Gathering all the dropped Spiritual Soldiers and Spirit Medicines, his figure disappeared from the area.

Xu Yang sprinted wildly through the mountains. It wasn’t until an Hour later that he stopped at a hidden spot to sort out his loot.

The spoils from over ten people were quite substantial. There were nearly two hundred Spirit Coins, though there were fewer Spirit Medicines—only eight stalks. In reality, a portion of them had been destroyed during his battle with the Xiao Family’s Celestial Essence Fourth Layer expert. The ones stored in Jade Boxes had been smashed to pieces, leaving only those kept in Spirit Boxes.

However, the ones in the Spirit Boxes were all of a high age; the lowest was at least five years old. The total value of these eight Spirit Medicines exceeded a hundred Spirit Coins. There were also seven Spiritual Soldiers, collectively worth nearly two hundred Spirit Coins.

The value of the Celestial Star Tungsten Steel was unclear. This was his first time acquiring such a material, and he didn’t know its market price. However, under normal circumstances, such an item couldn’t be bought even with money; otherwise, the Xiao Family wouldn’t have resorted to masking their faces and robbing the Yu Family.

He thought, "I almost have enough materials to forge a Spirit Soldier Pill Furnace."

These seven Spiritual Soldiers, combined with those he had collected previously, should be enough to forge a Spirit Soldier Pill Furnace.

Channeling his Iron Refining Hand, he melted these Spiritual Soldiers into molten iron one by one. Firstly, this would conceal their original appearances, and secondly, it would make them easier to carry. It wasn’t until all the Spiritual Soldiers had been refined into a single lump that Xu Yang continued his journey with his belongings.

This time, he didn’t stop and go, but instead traveled at full speed. After all, he had too many good things on him, so it was best to hurry back to the Celestial Strategy Academy as soon as possible.

At the Celestial Strategy Academy.

"It’s been almost four months and Xu Yang hasn’t returned yet. Did he really die in Jade Dragon Mountain?" Jin Yu said, his tone carrying a hint of regret. By now, even he, as a teacher, was somewhat shaken. Four months was far longer than an average student would stay. The solitude in the mountains wasn’t easy to endure.

"Perhaps," Chu Nanguai replied, his tone also carrying a hint of regret. He had high hopes for Xu Yang, but in a place like the Celestial Strategy Academy, it was impossible for students not to experience life-and-death tempering. He couldn’t control matters of death.

"Should we send someone into the mountains to check?" Jin Yu asked.

Chu Nanguai shook his head. "If something has happened, sending someone to look would be useless. Let’s just wait. If he isn’t dead, he will naturally return."

Meanwhile, Sun Tao was also growing worried about Xu Yang’s situation. However, Jade Dragon Mountain was vast and boundless; even if he had the heart to search the mountains, he wouldn’t know where to start.
