Chapter 933: Huang Xiaolong Gets Injured
After Huang Xiaolong left the Sun and Moon Mansion, he wandered around for a while, but his unease grew even stronger, eventually leading him to the Yushen Restaurant where he had previously bought the Divine Flower Wine.
Huang Xiaolong sat at the same window table on the second floor as before.
Upon his arrival, Huang Xiaolong naturally received the same enthusiastic reception from the waiter as last time.
As before, Huang Xiaolong ordered a table of fine wine and dishes and two jars of Divine Flower Wine, giving the waiter a top-level divine-grade divine stone, with the remainder as his tip.
The waiter was so excited that he kowtowed repeatedly.
After the waiter left, Huang Xiaolong drank alone while listening to the discussions of the disciples around him.
Most of the discussions revolved around his refining of Tribulation-grade Divine Origin Pills during the preliminary round and injuring Mo Su.
Listening to the exaggerated descriptions of the disciples around him, Huang Xiaolong shook his head with a smile.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, six experts from the No-Life Sword Sect were killed!"
"It wasn't just the No-Life Sword Sect; even the Ancient Star River Mu Family and the Zhou Family had many experts killed. I heard that even an elder of the Wangu Clan died tragically near Legendary Square. All those killed were divine-level experts, and each one was beheaded, leaving no complete bodies!"
Suddenly, a discussion at a distant table of family disciples caught Huang Xiaolong's attention.
Even an elder of the Wangu Clan was killed!
Huang Xiaolong was shocked.
Who dared to offend even the Wangu Clan?
And they were killing the experts of the super families of the Star River.
"Each person had a black handprint on their chest. Some say it's the Refining Ghost Palm!"
"What?! The Refining Ghost Palm! The ultimate skill of the Refining Ghost Sect?! Could it be that disciples of the Refining Ghost Sect have emerged from the Hell Road?!"
"I hope not. Every time the disciples of the Refining Ghost Sect emerge, they stir up a bloody storm. I've heard that in the past two days, over three hundred divine-level experts have been killed. If this continues, won't all the divine-level experts in Pill God City be slaughtered clean?"
"Isn't the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance doing anything about this?"
"Who says they're not? In the past two days, the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance has already had the Law Enforcement Disciples seal off various parts of Pill God City to search for any suspicious high-level divine experts! But if it's truly the disciples of the Refining Ghost Sect, how could the Law Enforcement Disciples of the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance possibly track them down? Even if the twelve elders of the Alliance Headquarters joined forces, they might not be able to capture the disciples of the Refining Ghost Sect!"
The more Huang Xiaolong listened, the more shocked he became.
The Refining Ghost Sect of the Hell Road?!
He had heard Elder Sheng Yue mention this Hell Road's Refining Ghost Sect, which even the Wangu Clan, Ancient Demon Clan, Creation Gate, Zhou Family, Giant Clan, Dark Spirit Clan, and other super sects feared.
Unexpectedly, the disciples of the Refining Ghost Sect had appeared again!
However, weren't the Refining Ghost Sect's disciples only emerging once every hundred thousand years? It's only been several tens of thousands of years since the last time.
More than three hours later, Huang Xiaolong left the restaurant and returned to the Sun and Moon Mansion.
Before leaving, he purchased more than a hundred jars of Divine Flower Wine, just like last time.
Back at the Sun and Moon Mansion, Huang Xiaolong did not cultivate but kept pondering over the matter of the Refining Ghost Sect.
This Refining Ghost Sect was without a doubt the strongest sect on the Hell Road, bar none.
However, no one knew where the Refining Ghost Sect was located on the Hell Road.
The identity of the person who founded the Refining Ghost Sect and how long it has existed remains a mystery, and what perplexes people even more is why the disciples of the Refining Ghost Sect exclusively target and kill divine-level experts each time they emerge.
Could it be for cultivating some kind of ghost-type technique?
Huang Xiaolong's eyes flickered.
Time passed quickly, and soon night fell.
At that moment, suddenly, Huang Xiaolong, who had been sitting in the courtyard drinking alone, burst out with a sudden motion. Just as he dodged, the entire Sun and Moon Mansion shook violently.
The courtyard where Huang Xiaolong had been standing collapsed completely, leaving a depression on the ground.
A large, black handprint was imprinted prominently on the courtyard ground, from which powerful ghost energy emanated.
Huang Xiaolong's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the young man in the black robe opposite him.
The young man was shrouded in a faint ghost fog, his appearance unclear, but his eyes sparkled with a ghostly green light.
"A disciple of the Refining Ghost Sect," Huang Xiaolong said slowly.
The young man let out a burst of laughter, raspy and ear-piercing, like a night owl, extremely unpleasant to hear.
However, there exists an elixir pill that, once consumed, allows a person to alter their voice temporarily, so it's uncertain if this voice is genuine.
"Huang Xiaolong, the first in the Divine Advancement Competition. I didn't expect your strength to be even greater than I imagined. That palm strike just now would have been unavoidable for an ordinary Divine-level Tenth Rank Early Stage expert." The Refining Ghost Sect youth continued, "It seems you're even more formidable than the rumors suggest."
Huang Xiaolong frowned.
"However," the Refining Ghost Sect youth's eyes turned bloodthirsty, his tongue flicked, "The more it is so, the more interesting it is to kill you. I am quite curious, what level is the divine status you have condensed? Emperor-level high-stage, or top-level? I'm just missing an Emperor-level high-stage divine status."
Huang Xiaolong sneered, "Galaxy Disciples often say that the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect's emerged disciples have unrivaled talent and formidable strength. I'm equally interested in what kind of divine status you have condensed."
The Refining Ghost Sect youth laughed, "Then let me satisfy your curiosity now." With that, he suddenly unleashed another palm strike towards Huang Xiaolong.
So fast!
Huang Xiaolong's mind flashed.
With Huang Xiaolong's current strength, he could merely capture a faint afterimage.
Without hesitation, Huang Xiaolong activated his Innate Soul Skill, Space Concealment, disappearing instantly.
However, just as Huang Xiaolong concealed himself, the Refining Ghost Sect youth's eyes emitted a blinding green light, and he turned around to unleash another palm strike towards Huang Xiaolong's concealed location.
Huang Xiaolong was startled, not daring to be careless. He activated all three Supreme Divine Forms simultaneously and faced the strike with an Earth Buddha Palm.
Rumble!
Under the influence of their palm power, the space tore open with a massive rift.
The surrounding streets were completely upheaved, and even the Sun and Moon Mansion, which had its prohibition activated, was reduced to ruins under the aftermath of their power.
Huang Xiaolong fell out from the space, continuously flying backward for several hundred miles before stabilizing. His whole body surging with turbulent blood, and he felt a heat in his mouth before spitting out a mouthful of hot blood.
He was injured!
It had been many years since Huang Xiaolong had last been injured.
Given the strength of Huang Xiaolong's Primordial Dragon Body, it was rare for anyone in the Lower Realm to injure him. He hadn't expected to be wounded by this Refining Ghost Sect youth, who now seemed to be capable of harming him despite his powerful physique, managing to cause his entire body to surge with blood and attempt to devour his essence blood.
Though he couldn't see through this Refining Ghost Sect youth's strength, Huang Xiaolong estimated that the opponent should be at a High-level Divine stage.
"I heard you're very strong, but to think you withstood that strike and only spit blood. Impressive." The Refining Ghost Sect youth said, his voice laced with a hint of bloodlust.
Suddenly, the Refining Ghost Sect youth, his figure growing even larger, lashed out with his palm once more towards Huang Xiaolong.
The palm power tore through the night sky, obliterating all moonlight and starlight, the strike was four to five times more powerful than before. (To be continued...) If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
