Two figures in the night sky were dashing toward the front line!
Looking at Xu Que, Jiang Hongyan asked in a calm, low voice, “Are we going back to the territory of the Heaven Orc Tribe?”
“No! We can’t solve a problem by evading it. We have to solve it sooner or later!” Xu Que said with a faint smile.
“Then, what is your plan at the front line?” Jiang Hongyan was stunned, for she thought Xu Que planned to perform the secluded cultivation by hiding in the campsite of the Heaven Orc Tribe. But Xu Que’s reply surprised her.
“I am going to reach the Form Synthesis Stage in sanguinary combat!” Xu Que replied with a smile.
Jiang Hongyan didn’t understand Xu Que’s words. At this time, Xu Que’s eyes had become more determined than ever. A smile appeared on his lips. The biggest difference between him and the rest of the cultivators in this world was his System! The System was indeed an invincible plug-in. He could even upgrade it through killing his enemies.
In the past, Xu Que didn’t have the Taoist Connotation. He upgraded himself through killing many people, which accumulated too much Terrifying Spiritual Qi for him and stopped him from reaching the Void Training Stage. Then, he transferred all his Terrifying Spiritual Qi and cultivation achievements to his Taoist Body to restart his cultivation from zero. At last, he managed to comprehend his own Taoist Connotation.
Now, his Taoist Connotation was quite powerful. He didn’t need to worry that his Taoist Connotation could be devoured by the Terrifying Spiritual Qi caused by killing.
However, he was a man who always wanted to enjoy himself. If it was unnecessary or his life was not endangered, he would never upgrade himself through killing people. Just like a powerhouse who knew he had reached the summit of cultivation and nobody could hurt him easily, he wouldn’t spend most of his time to enhance his strength.
But now, his lifestyle was messed up when he arrived at the Xuanzhen Continent together with Jiang Hongyan. In this continent where cultivators at the Great Vehicle Stage were everywhere, Xu Que felt he had to reach the Form Synthesis Stage because of the force of circumstances.
Therefore, the best way was to join the army of mankind and fight the Heaven Orc Tribe fair and square. In this way, he could accumulate enough experience for his upgrade. And, at the last, he could render that Emperor a great surprise!
Whoosh!
The next morning, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan arrived at the front line of the army of mankind! With Human-skinned Masks on their faces, they enrolled themselves in the army and became ordinary soldiers of mankind!
In the world of cultivators, cultivators were always selfish! If it was not profitable, most cultivators didn’t want to defend their country by fighting with their enemies. Cultivators pursued free and carefree lives and didn’t care who controlled their country. Anyway, they could always find fortune and opportunities in this vast world.
Therefore, once a war broke out, the Imperial Palace would recruit soldiers with generous rewards.
…
The front line campsite was full of soldiers. War was raging, so the campsite was quite busy. Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan didn’t attract too much attention when they enrolled themselves. A lot of cultivators joined the army to earn rewards and official titles with battle achievements every day.
“I need your names and the name of your sects!” A old veteran, with a shabby jade plate in his hand, said, looking at Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan impatiently in front of the enrollment station.
Xu Que replied with a smile, “I am Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and my nickname is the Lethal Scholar!”
The veteran rolled his eyes as he carved something on the jade plate. Then he murmured, “Nobody cares about your nickname! You might get killed as soon as you step onto the battlefield!”
After saying that, he threw the jade plate to Xu Que. Then, he turned to Jiang Hongyan and asked, “What about you, girl?”
Jiang Hongyan replied with a smile as she looked at Xu Que, “I am Hongyan of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
“The Exploding Heavens Faction again?”
The veteran frowned as if he had never heard of this sect before. He didn’t waste his time thinking about it. After carving the sect and name on the jade plate, he threw the plate to Jiang Hongyan and said impatiently, “OK, you can get your armor with this ID plate. Then, you can enter the battlefield!”
“OK!” Xu Que smiled. Then he turned around and was about to leave, holding Jiang Hongyan’s hand.
At this time, the old veteran added, “Young people, don’t be too greedy for battle achievements. Try to kill those weak Orc soldiers in the battlefield. In this way, you can’t earn too much credits, but it is better than being killed. If you can survive the battle, don’t forget to check your credits at the Soldier and Officer Rank List, and trade the things or official titles you want with your credits!”
“OK, thanks!” Xu Que turned around and nodded at the veteran.
Jiang Hongyan also nodded her head to express her gratitude with a faint smile.
Till now, she didn’t know Xu Que’s plan. A lot of people upgraded themselves on the battlefield, but she had never heard of a person who managed to reach the Form Synthesis Stage from Level 3 of the Void Training Stage.
However, since Xu Que had made up his mind, she wouldn’t doubt him. After all…this was a young man who had created numerous miracles! If he said he could do it, he would definitely make it happen!
What she could do was to support him. When he succeeded, she could stay with him and enjoy the happy time. If he failed, she could still stay with him. That was enough!
“Little girl, let’s go!” Xu Que looked at Jiang Hongyan. He had two sets of armors and two swords in his hands.
Jiang Hongyan nodded her head gently. Then, she waved her slim hand and two soldier armors flew into the sky. The next moment, their bodies had been wrapped by the armor. After that, they started to walk toward the front line campsite with jade plates on their belts. They were a heroic couple walking toward the battlefield!
…
At this time, the combat had begun. Soldiers from both parties had clashed in a flurry of steel. After being tortured by the curse letters, the soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe had rallied. Now they had started to vent their anger at their enemies on the battlefield.
Normally, a soldier of the Heaven Orc Tribe could fight several mankind soldiers at the same time because of its big and strong body. Soldiers of mankind had been suppressed by their enemies’ powerful offensives.
Standing on the city wall, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan looked at the battlefield speechlessly!
They were assigned to a temporary supporting unit. There were altogether more than 100 soldiers in this unit. Most soldiers were at the Void Training Stage. They also got four or five cultivators at the Form Synthesis Stage. Jiang Hongyan, as a cultivator at the Crossing Calamity Stage, was appointed as the team leader immediately.
However, those improvised soldiers didn’t want to obey any orders. Before Jiang Hongyan had time to give any orders, these soldiers had jumped down from the city wall and started to dash toward the battlefield in all directions. Some soldiers hid themselves in safe places and tried to earn credits by killing enemies opportunistically. Some of them were quite confident to fight alone!
Seeing that, Jiang Hongyan couldn’t help but frown slightly. After all, this battlefield was more or less related to her past life. In her past life, she was the Empress of mankind in this continent, who was obliged to defend it. Now, the erratic attack of these mankind soldiers disappointed her.
However, now she was Jiang Hongyan, who was no longer that Empress of her past life. She didn’t want to change anything now.
“Hongyan, just ignore them. They will encumber our action. Today, I will eliminate all soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe on this battlefield!” Xu Que said as he dashed forward, stepping on lightning.
Jiang Hongyan also moved forward, following Xu Que with a smile!
…
The battlefield was full of deafening drumbeats and battle cries!
The sky was covered by shadows of weapons and colorful magic arts!
People kept falling down. The ground was soaked in blood. The combat was quite fierce. Mankind soldiers, who were losing this combat, were being pushed back by their enemies.
However, something weird happened. Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan were going deeper and deeper into the battlefield! “What? Is that guy crazy?” Some among the mankind soldiers were surprised by Xu Que’s move.
Nobody dared to fight in this way in the battlefield. Especially now that the mankind army was in an unfavorable condition. All the soldiers were stepping back slowly as they tried to find an opportunity to launch a counterattack. Those who fought recklessly like Xu Que would die soon!
“Why is a cultivator at the Void Training Stage trying to enter the main battlefield? Does he really want to end his life?” Someone sneered.
“The main battlefield is for powerhouses at the Crossing Calamity Stage. If he dares to enter that area, he will definitely be shattered into pieces!”
“Nonsense! How could a young man at the Void Training Stage enter the main battlefield? This is absolutely insane!”
“Wait, look! It seems the woman behind him has reached the Crossing Calamity Stage!”
“Heh-heh, so what? The main battlefield is full of powerhouses at the Crossing Calamity Stage. That woman at the Crossing Calamity Stage could hardly protect herself, let alone protect that young man at the Void Training Stage!”
After their ridicule, those mankind soldiers continued to step back as they attacked their enemies. It was impossible for them to stop someone who wanted to commit suicide.
Boom!
However, just at this time, a magnificent True Core Strength gushed out from the body of Xu Que, who was dashing forward!
Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation, activate! Nine times of strength bonus created a violent momentum in his body!
Then he activated the People Killing Book and the People Killing Sword of All Layers! At last, he also activated the Genuine Secret of “All” of the Nice Secrets! Now, his strength had been enhanced ten times over!
The next moment, Xu Que dashed out with a long sword in his hand like a dazzling shooting star! The sword blade was roaring.
Swish!
He was racing forward like a beam of light!
Several gigantic soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe stood in his way. Xu Que jumped up and slashed the sword forward with magnificent strength. The sword created a long shadow in the air.
Rumble!
He trembled the void with that smooth and clean slash, which had been enhanced by all kinds of intensification magic arts. The sword hit the soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe like a violent storm.
All at once, those soldiers were blown up and fell into many soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe behind them like cannonballs!
“Holy crap!”
Seeing this, many mankind soldiers shouted in surprise as their eyes widened! They didn’t believe what they had seen.
Is he really at the Void Training Stage?
He blew off several enemies at the Form Synthesis Stage with one sword attack!
Damn! Is this for real?
“Kill!” At this time, Xu Que shouted as he clenched his left fist. Then, he activated the System interface and spent 5,000 Acting Tough Points without hesitation.
The next moment, the King of Tough-Acting Fist of which the power had been enhanced many times took shape in the air and dashed out abruptly.
Rumble!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Instantly, more than ten soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe exploded into blood mists.
“Holy crap! My God!” Many of the mankind soldiers couldn’t help but exclaim. They were totally dumbfounded and terrorized!
How powerful this man is!
As a cultivator at the Void Training Stage, he smashed more than ten enemies at the Form Synthesis Stage with one punch! This is really unbelievable!
“The Sword of Great Rivers comes from the Heaven!” At the same time, Xu Que’s voice started to echo around the battlefield! With the sword in his right hand, he clenched his left fist and stood in the air above the battlefield as his clothes floated with the wind. He fixed his eyes on the thickly dotted soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe excitedly.
Rumble!
He slashed the sword forward. The sword Qi was just like a rainbow. And the entire sword was slashing toward his enemy like a descending great sword from the Nine Heavens!
Then he attacked with his fist, which shook the void and eliminated his enemies with magnificent Taoist Connotation!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe were blown off by the Sword Qi, and then smashed by the giant fist into blood mists in the air.
“I kill one enemy in every ten steps; I am unstoppable for 1,000 miles! Can anyone ward off my sword attack?” Xu Que laughed arrogantly and didn’t worry his move could attract hatred!
Many mankind soldiers were dumbfounded.
“Who the hell is that guy?”
“Damn! He is so powerful! I’ve never seen such a ferocious man like him in the battlefield before!”
“Kill one enemy in every ten steps? He could kill ten enemies in one step!” Many people were exclaiming.
At the same time, many soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe had targeted Xu Que. A conspicuous capable person should always be wiped out with priority!
“Kill him!” A roar came from the soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe. The next moment, hundreds of soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe started to rush toward Xu Que crazily.
Xu Que shook his head and said with a laugh, “This is far from enough! All of you are at the Form Synthesis Stage. Your death will not satisfy me! Could anyone of you at the Crossing Calamity Stage step out to have a fight with me?”
“You are seeking death!” Hundreds of Orc soldiers roared angrily as they rushed toward Xu Que.
A young man at the Void Training Stage said the killing of hundreds of enemies at the Form Synthesis Stage couldn’t satisfy him. This was a sheer humiliation for the Orc soldiers.
However, what Xu Que said was true. Experience gained through killing cultivators at the Form Synthesis was not enough for him!
Now he was at Level 3 of the Void Training Stage. Just now he killed more than 20 enemies at the Form Synthesis Stage, but he only accumulated one-third of the experience he needed to upgrade to the next level, which was far from enough!
Therefore, at this moment, he needed to attract hatred and gather more enemies. Then, he could kill all of them with the King of Tough-Acting Fist of 10,000 Acting Tough Points!
This was the correct way to minimize the consumption of the Acting Tough Points and maximize the gain of experience!
Rumble!
He slashed the sword again!
This sword was only an Eight-Star weapon. But nobody knew a Sword Spirit was sleeping in this sword! Xu Que tried to awaken the Sword Spirit by killing his enemies with this sword, so that he could have a powerful guard when he faced the Emperor in future.
Bang!
The sword slashed down like a descending great sword from the Nine Heavens.
Over 100 soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe were blown up by the sword.
Boom!
The next moment, the King of Tough-Acting Fist, which consumed 10,000 Acting Tough Points, covered those Orc soldiers immediately! The sky started to rain blood!
“Wow!” Instantly, the mankind soldiers were in an uproar. More and more people had noticed Xu Que’s moves.
The soldiers of the Heaven Orc Tribe were dumbfounded and didn’t believe what they had seen.
Over 100 Orc soldiers at the Form Synthesis Stage, each one of whom could fight three cultivators at the same cultivation level, were killed by a young man at the Void Training Stage with one punch!
“Retreat, and don’t stand together!” A roar came in from the formation of the Heaven Orc Tribe immediately.
Several Generals gave their orders, “Ignore that young man, kill the rest of the mankind soldiers first!” Apparently, they were not able to kill Xu Que. So, they changed their plan and started to kill other mankind soldiers.
After all, the battlefield was just like a chess game. The strategic layout should not be influenced by one powerful chess piece!
Swish!
All Orc soldiers within a ten-kilometer radius retreated instantly.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and shouted with a wicked smile, “Stupid Heaven Orc Tribe, let me tell you a secret. Do you remember those curse letters? Yes, I am the one who sent them to you! Come and beat me up if you are not cowards!”
