“Xu Que’s father!” Yi Dan said, clenching his teeth with horrible killing intent when he saw the old man who was stepping out from the clouds. On his way here to avenge Yi Zhong, Yi Dan had heard that Xu Que’s father was a frail old man at the Half-Celestial Stage who had killed Yi Zhong! Now, this frail old man at the Half-Celestial Stage conformed to the description completely.
“Holy sh*t! Finally, he has managed to come out!” Duan Jiude let out a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Que. Buttface said, putting on a long face, “D*mn! It is really not a good time for him to come out now!” When Xu Que came out, the space of Godhead behind the Secret Door disappeared, which meant they had nowhere to hide now.
Liu Jingning was quite delighted. When she saw Xu Que, it put her heart at rest because Xu Que was safe for the moment. Bai Cailing and the people from the Jade Lake also breathed a sigh of relief secretly at this time. When Yi Dan ordered his underlings to kill Buttface and Duan Jiude, Bai Cailing hesitated about whether she should stop him from doing that. Although she knew the Jade Lake was being protected by a Celestial King, she was not completely certain about it. In case this old man was not a Celestial King, what would the Jade Lake do? Was the Jade Lake really about to start a war with the Divine Farmer Clan? The consequences would be unimaginable! However, since Elder Xu had come out, she could rest easy. At least she didn’t need to make a choice. If Elder Xu was really a Celestial King, the people from the Divine Farmer Clan would not be able to do any harm to him!
“Just kill him!” At this time, Yi Dan shouted and he pointed at Xu Que. All the apprentices of the Divine Farmer Clan fixed their eyes on Xu Que. For them, a frail old man at the Half-Celestial Stage was nothing. Although they didn’t know how Yi Zhong had been killed by this old man, the Celestial Stage of this old man was definitely apparent. The cultivators at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage couldn’t find anything wrong with that. Unless he was a Celestial King or someone even more powerful, it was impossible for him to conceal his Cultivation Stage in this place! A Celestial King or someone even more powerful? That was totally impossible!
Therefore, all of them believed the hearsay was false. It was highly possible that Yi Zhong was not killed by this old man. His death must have been caused by other factors. Now, they had numerical superiority, which made them fearless. They didn’t believe a frail old man at the Half-Celestial Stage could kill all of them.
“Hey! Wait! Don’t start the fight so soon! Could you give me several minutes to explain, please?” Xu Que was dumbfounded when he saw so many people were dashing toward him. “I haven’t acted tough by talking tough. You can’t just rush forward like this! I need time to act tough!” However, his words were ignored. At this moment, more than 100 apprentices at the Earth Celestial Stage of the Divine Farmer Clan were dashing toward Xu Que together. The guardians at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage didn’t move, but fixed their eyes on Mo Junchen and the people from the Jade Lake. For them, only Mo Junchen and the people from the Jade Lake could constitute a threat now.
“What the h*ll? Nowadays, the young people really don’t know how to respect the aged! Hey, you! Come here! I want to have a duel with you!” Xu Que shook his head and ignored the apprentices of the Divine Farmer Clan who were dashing toward him. He shouted and pointed at Yi Dan directly.
Yi Dan said coldly, “Do you want to have a duel with me? Heh, do you think you are qualified to have a duel with me?” Was a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage going to have a duel with a cultivator at the Medium Stage of the Heaven Celestial Stage? It sounded like a joke for all the people from the Divine Farmer Clan, and they ignored Xu Que’s words. At the same time, several apprentices at the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage from the Divine Farmer Clan had arrived in front of Xu Que. They attacked with the wood element magic arts immediately. Many vines which were as thick as arms erupted from the ground.
BANG! Along with a dull sound, Xu Que’s legs were tied up by dozens of vines instantly. Then those vines started to climb up along his body. The vines were so powerful that they felt like they were about to crush Xu Que’s body. At the same time, the ends of those vines became snake heads which flicked out tongues and were about to bite Xu Que with their bloody mouths which were full of poisonous fangs.
“Elder Xu, be careful. Don’t be bitten by those snake heads. It is a special toxin of the Divine Farmer Clan that can corrode your flesh and consume your Celestial Core Power!” Seeing that, a female apprentice of the Jade Lake shouted in surprise to remind Xu Que. However, Xu Que was very calm and his face was still covered by a big smile. “The power of the vines? Special toxin?They are nothing in front of the Act-Tough Saint’s Holy Physique!”
BOOM! He reached out his arms to stretch himself slightly. Suddenly, all the vines were exploded into small pieces and became Spiritual Qi which vanished in the air. “What?”
“How…could this be?” The apprentices at the Earth Celestial Stage from the Divine Farmer Clan’s expressions changed abruptly. They couldn’t believe what they had just seen. Although they looked down upon Xu Que who was only at the Half-Celestial Stage, they didn’t underestimate him and attacked him with their full strength. However, this old man at the Half-Celestial Stage had destroyed their magic arts casually. The point was that he didn’t use any Celestial Core Power at all. He did that only with the strength of his physique!
The rest of the people who were not far away, including Yi Dan and his seven guardians, also registered a change in their expressions as they realized something was wrong. “It seems that this old man is not an ordinary cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage!” was the refrain echoing in all their minds.
“Alas! Forget it! You can attack me all at the same time. It has been so long since I killed someone. I feel I have almost lost my courage!” Xu Que yawned as he looked at all the apprentices of the Divine Farmer Clan in front of him. He didn’t feel any pressure even when he was confronting more than 100 enemies. Anyway, these people were just at the Earth Celestial Stage!
“You are seeking death!” The apprentices who had attacked Xu Que just now were annoyed immediately. They started to attack Xu Que with magic arts again. However, Xu Que lifted his hand casually and took a small step. Then he disappeared on the spot. The next moment, before his enemies had had time to react, he had appeared behind them. He waved his hand toward their heads and said with a faint smile, “Your head is being touched by a Celestial!”
BANG! BANG! BANG! The heads of the apprentices from the Divine Farmer Clan exploded into blood mist and fell to the ground with their bodies.
SWISH! All of a sudden, the entire area fell into a dead silence. All the people in the area were shocked and didn’t believe what they had seen. Even Buttface, Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning were surprised by Xu Que’s attack. They knew Xu Que was just at the summit of the Human Celestial Stage. Maybe he was powerful enough to fight cultivators at the Earth Celestial Stage or even the Heaven Celestial Stage. But since when he was able to kill so many cultivators at the Earth Celestial Stage in an instant? This was too horrible!
“D*mn! I bet this guy found a big fortune in there!” Buttface started to thump his chest and stamp his feet when he remembered Xu Que had performed secluded cultivation in that space of Godhead for dozens of days.
“Comparisons are odious!” Duan Jiude also said helplessly. Xu Que’s strength was so horrible now. Nobody believed he hadn’t found anything in the Godhead’s space! Bai Cailing and the apprentices of the Jade Lake were the calmest people in this place. After all, they had witnessed this Elder Xu, whose cultivation stage might reach the Celestial King or an even higher stage, kill Yi Zhong. So they were not surprised when Xu Que displayed his horrible strength at this moment.
However, the people from the Divine Farmer Clan were totally terrified. The guardians who were standing behind Yi Dan felt their eyelids were twitching. They realized something was wrong! They were all having the same thoughts, “How could an old man at the Half-Celestial Stage be so powerful? He is definitely not at the Half-Celestial Stage!” But only those who were more powerful than the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and had reached the Celestial King or an even higher stage could conceal their strength in front of cultivators at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage!
“So, is this old man…a Celestial King?” At the thought of this, those guardians felt their hearts were beating faster. Now, they had figured out why Yi Zhong’s guardians had left this place. They also knew why Bai Cailing had tried to stop them at the very beginning. It turned out this old man’s strength was extremely horrible!
“Father…oh, no, Xu Que’s father…eh, senior Xu, please wait a minute. This is all a misunderstanding!” Instantly, a guardian of the Divine Farmer Clan walked up and shouted hurriedly. He had decided to bring an end to this conflict before it got out of control even more than it had done already. Otherwise, the Divine Farmer Clan would be implicated or might even be wiped out in the future.
“Shut up! What are you talking about? How could this be a misunderstanding?” Yi Dan shouted as he stared at that guardian angrily at this moment. The guardian changed his expression and reminded Yi Dan in a low voice hurriedly, “Don’t do anything reckless! It is highly possible that this man is a Celestial King!”
“A Celestial King? Hah, hah, a Celestial King? Have you lost your mind? How could a Celestial King exist in this world? You say that just because you can’t see through his Cultivation Stage, right? I don’t believe he is a Celestial King! Just kill him and this is an order!” Yi Dan was so angry that he even started to smile. Then, he shouted sternly. All the rest of the members of the Divine Farmer Clan were intimidated by Xu Que. Only Yi Dan insisted on killing Xu Que at this time. His underlings were considering the severity of this issue. If this old man was really a Celestial King, the entire Divine Farmer Clan could be ruined in the future. However, Yi Dan was too reckless. He couldn’t think cautiously at this moment. He firmly believed that no Celestial Kings were still living in this world.
However, his order was ignored by the guardians. The guardians were responsible for protecting the sovereigns, so that the Divine Farmer Clan could be more powerful. For them, Yi Dan’s order would influence the Divine Farmer Clan’s interests and even its existence. So, it was impossible for them to follow that order easily. “Yi Dan, don’t be so reckless! This is a serious matter which can’t be decided by us. We can’t obey your order unless we get the same order from the clan!” A senior guardian said in a low voice at this moment.
“Bullsh*t!” Yi Dan cursed as he pointed at that guardian, “Old fart, how could you be so cowardly? I am a sovereign, which means my position is higher than yours. Now, I order you to kill him. Are you going to defy my order?” Hearing that, the guardians’ faces got very dark. What Yi Dan had said was correct. The position of a sovereign was higher than that of a guardian. However, no sovereigns had ever disrespected their guardians like this before. Now, Yi Dan was cursing them by pointing at their noses, which was outrageous!
“Sorry, I can’t do that!” At last, the guardian replied sturdily as he clenched his teeth. In order to safeguard his dignity or the interests of the Divine Farmer Clan, he wouldn’t obey Yi Dan’ s order!
“Good! Very good! You can’t do that, right? I will kill him myself! When I go back to the clan, I will definitely flay you!” Yi Dan was totally annoyed. After talking tough, he turned to Xu Que and shouted angrily, “Old fart, you said you want to have a duel with me, right? Here I am!” After saying that, he stomped on the ground and turned himself into a black arrow which flew toward Xu Que rapidly like a black meteor.
Xu Que was so happy to see that. He waved his fists as he stood there with a smile, “Come on! Come on! If I can’t defeat you, my name will be changed to something else from Xu Que…eh, Xu Que’s father!”
