“Wow! Speak of the devil and he comes!” Xu Que looked up and squinted with a faint smile.
In the sky, the green vines that had appeared from the green mist were quite magnificent. Several young figures in green robes descended from the sky. Behind them, dozens of powerhouses from the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe were following in a threatening manner. They were led by a handsome man. After glancing at Xu Que and his teammates, he fixed his eyes on Jiang Hongyan. Then he was stunned.
I didn’t expect that such a gorgeous woman would appear in this small place! She is even more beautiful than those Holy Virgins at those legacy places!
The handsome man was totally tempted. At first sight, he was sure this woman was the most beautiful woman he had seen in his life, more attractive than any Celestial Artifacts. He would do his best to get this woman!
Boom!
Instantly, they landed, but their feet didn’t touch the ground. All of them were wrapped by magnificent green mists. The Spiritual Qi in this area also rushed to them like myriad of stars surround the moon. They didn’t attract the Spiritual Qi deliberately. The Spiritual Qi was attracted by their Taoist Connotation.
Although the Half-Celestial Realm was only one stage higher than the Great Vehicle Stage, cultivators at the Half-Celestial Realm had stepped over the threshold of Celestial. Therefore, they were much more powerful than cultivators at the Great Vehicle Stage.
“We are doomed!” At the same time, members of the Exploding Heavens Faction turned pale immediately. They knew clearly how powerful these Celestials were. In short, these Celestials could kill anyone whose cultivation stage was lower than the Celestial Realm easily like killing an ant!
Even though they were confident about Xu Que’s strength, they were in a panic now. After all, Xu Que had just reached the Crossing Calamity Stage. Above the Crossing Calamity Stage, there was still the Great Vehicle Stage. He was two stages lower than these Celestials. How could he fight this combat? He was definitely seeking death!
“My Celestial Masters, these are the remaining evil elements of the Exploding Heavens Faction. That toy boy in the black robe is the prime evil, Xu Que!” At this time, the powerhouses of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe gave reports to the young men and women. They even described Xu Que as a toy boy.
Xu Que replied with an enthusiastic smile immediately, “Thank you! Most people don’t praise my handsomeness in this way! Thanks!”
“Humph!” The powerhouses of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe didn’t want to waste time on Xu Que. For them, Xu Que would definitely be killed this time.
Members of the Exploding Heavens Faction twitched their lips. After so many years, their Faction Leader still acted wickedly regardless of the occasion.
“The Faction Leader…of the Exploding Heavens Faction?” At this time, among those young men and women, the handsome man turned to Xu Que and started to smile in a sarcastic and disdainful way.
Another young woman stepped forward and shook her head after looking at Xu Que, “So, you are Xu Que, who is the big devil, right? It seems they have overestimated you. You have just reached the Crossing Calamity Stage. It was unnecessary for us to send so many people here to kill you!”
After saying that, the woman glanced at those powerhouses of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe coldly.
Flop! Those powerhouses of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe changed their expressions and knelt down on the ground. Then they shouted in terror, “Please forgive us, Celestial Masters! We…we haven’t seen him for many years. So we overestimated his strength out of discretion!”
“Forget it! Although it is a waste of manpower to do so, we have been quite bored recently, and it is good to kill time with something!” The young woman said quietly.
“Thank you, Master Ning!” The powerhouses of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe let out a sigh of relief as they expressed their gratitude by kowtowing. At the same time, their hearts were filled with wild joy.
None of them expected that Xu Que, who was so gifted, had only reached the Crossing Calamity Stage after more than ten years.
What does that mean? It means he is nothing in front of these Celestials!
“Ahem, are you those so-called Celestials? Where are you from?” At this time, Xu Que cleared his throat and asked with a smile. He had sensed from their auras that they had just reached the Half-Celestial Realm. Some of them were just at the Initial Stage of the Half-Celestial Realm. That handsome man, who had reached the Medium Stage of the Half-Celestial Realm, was the most powerful one among them.
“You are quite calm! It seems you have met people at our realm!” The handsome man said as he looked at Xu Que thoughtfully.
Except for fools, only a quite powerful and confident man could be so calm in front of them. His instinct told him that Xu Que was not a fool.
“I’ve met people like you! And I’ve even killed some of them! They were quite weak!” Xu Que replied with a smile. What he said was true and also contained some bluffing factors! Indeed, he had killed cultivators at the Half-Celestial Realm and the Human Celestial Realm in the Refined Moon Palace. However, restricted by the rules in that place, those people were just at the level of the Great Vehicle Stage or lower. So, Xu Que managed to kill them easily.
Now, when cultivators at the Half-Celestial Realm who were not restricted by the rules were standing in front of him, Xu Que knew clearly how big the gap between him and them was. Maybe he was not able to cause a scratch on these people even if he used the King of Tough-Acting Fist with 50,000 Acting Tough Points or even 100,000 Acting Tough Points! Because the gap between Xu Que and these people was not only the True Core Strength but also the Taoist Connotation.
Although Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation was quite powerful, his Taoist Connotation was not solid enough. These Celestials were just the opposite. Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation was like a newly born lion cub. The Taoist Connotation of these cultivators at the Half Celestial Realm was like a mature boar.
After some time, the lion cub would become a powerful lion. But now, a mature boar could kill a newly born lion cub easily. However, Xu Que was not worried at all! His Firestorm Wheels was an awesome Celestial Artifact that could help him to escape or chase his enemies easily. He also had a Sword Spirit!
Before the arrival of these cultivators at the Half Celestial Realm, the Sword Spirit had left some words of advice to Xu Que, “You can kill a cultivator whose cultivation stage is lower than the Human Celestial Realm with just one sword! Even if a cultivator at the Human Celestial Realm couldn’t be killed with one sword,two swords will be enough!” These words were quite tough, which also revealed the current strength of his Sword Spirit.
The Sword Spirit told Xu Que that he could kill cultivators at the Half-Celestial Realm with one sword instantly. For cultivators at the Human Celestial Realm, two or three swords were enough. But it didn’t mention cultivators at the Earth Celestial Realm. Maybe because the Sword Spirit hadn’t regained its full strength yet. Also, the quality of this broken sword also restrained the strength of the Sword Spirit!
“Really? You used to kill cultivators at the Half-Celestial Realm? Heh, heh!”
Hearing that, these young men and women couldn’t help but smile sarcastically at this time.
Could a cultivator at the Crossing Calamity Stage kill cultivators at the Half-Celestial Realm? This was totally impossible and even absurd to them!
“Yes! No matter whether you believe it or not, I have done it before!” Xu Que replied with a smile.
The handsome man said, shaking his head, “I don’t want to waste more words on you. You know clearly what we are going to do here. However, you are quite different than many people we have met in this world! It seems you are quite confident. Tell me, where are you from? I am trying to avoid some misunderstandings in the future!”
The handsome man was quite straightforward. He knew Xu Que’s confidence was authentic. Therefore, before launching an attack, he wanted to know Xu Que’s background and the power behind Xu Que, so that he could judge and weigh whether he could afford to offend him.
“Me? I remember you’ve mentioned it before! I am Xu Que, Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!” Xu Que said with a calm smile.
He had transferred the Sword Spirit into the broken sword which was an Inferior Celestial Artifact. However, the Sword Spirit needed some time for its rehabilitation in the new sword. Before that, he didn’t want to attack. If the Sword Spirit had finished its rehabilitation, he wouldn’t have wasted so many words. When the handsome man stared at Jiang Hongyan, he would have already attacked with the sword.
“Heh, heh, since you don’t want to tell us your background, don’t blame us! Before our attack, I want to tell you that we are from the Ivy Academy of the World of Near Celestial!” The handsome man said with a smile. Kill intent appeared in his eyes. Apparently, he was about to attack.
Hearing that, Xu Que was stunned a bit, “Hah, you are also from the World of Near Celestial! What a coincidence! The people I killed before were also from the World of Near Celestial! Also, I know the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake…wait!”
Before finishing his words, Xu Que paused a bit. Then, a strand of a smile appeared on his face. The Sword Spirit had finished its rehabilitation in the broken sword! Finally, I don’t need to waste time anymore!
“The Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake? Do you really know the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake?” At this time, these young men and women changed their expressions and started to look at Xu Que in surprise.
“Heh, heh, it’s none of your business! By the way, I don’t know whether you’ve heard of a saying?” Then Xu Que started to smile brazenly, “The bad guys always die because of being too talkative!”
Clang! After saying that, Xu Que pulled out the broken sword!
A cloud of horrible momentum, which could destroy everything in the area, gushed out from the broken sword and swept over the area!
