“Just now that’s a…Sword Spirit?” The Five Guardians of the Seven Stars Academy were thunderstruck. Sword Spirit also belonged to a type of Artifact Spirit, but they had never encountered such a powerful one. Even the Artifact Spirit recorded in the ancient book of records didn’t have any that were so materialized with Spiritual Intelligence.
Immediately, the blazing gazes of the five people fell on the sharp sword in Xu Que’s hand, and they were secretly exclaiming in their hearts that that Celestial Artifact was extraordinary!
“First, you’re not entitled to know who I am. Second, that man launched his attack on us first and he even injured my friend. I’m just avenging her. Are all of you sure that you want to meddle in our affairs?” At that moment, Xu Que looked at the five Elders and asked them coldly.
If it had been in the past, he would have had to be wary of five aces at the Earth Celestial Stage. However, his current strength was formidable. Besides, those five aces were also pseudo Earth Celestial Stage, which lacked the Rules of Life and Death. They were much weaker than the Earth Celestial Stage from the Earth Continent. He was absolutely fearless.
“Five Elders, don’t listen to this lunatic’s nonsense. I’m on my way to the enrollment of the academy with my Seven Stars Order, but this madman wanted to rob me of my Seven Stars Order with his Celestial Artifact. He also claimed to be a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Please stand up for me!” A drowning man catches at a straw—Ming Cheng took the Five Guardians of the Seven Stars Academy as his saviors and cast wild aspersions at Xu Que.
“Exploding Heavens Faction?”
The five guardians were startled, and they shook their heads. There are really all sorts of people around in this generation. How dare he pretend to be a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
But they weren’t fools. They certainly didn’t believe Ming Cheng’s one-sided story, but they didn’t care about the truth either. It was because they were only concerned with the sword that Xu Que was holding.
After a short silence, one of the Elders looked at Xu Que and said indifferently, “It’s a bit complicated. How about this, both of you make your way to the Seven Stars Academy. We’ll investigate it carefully. But before that, you need to surrender this sword to the Seven Stars Academy.”
“Oh? I could follow all of you to the Seven Stars Academy, but for what reason should I surrender this sword?” Xu Que was instantly amused. He shook his head and sneered. It was obvious that the five men were targeting his sword.
“Reason? Humph, a young man like you is extremely conceited. Then let me tell you the rationale, we suspect that the sword in your hand is a Celestial Artifact stolen ten years ago from the Seven Stars Academy!” The old man’s expression had darkened.
“Tut, tut, tut, this is boring. If you want to snatch my Celestial Artifact, you can just admit it. Isn’t it laughable to use such a corny excuse?” Xu Que laughed scornfully.
“You’re courting death!” The five Guardians were instantly furious and ashamed. They shouted and dashed toward Xu Que.
Not far away, Lin Yuxi saw the scene, and her expression changed instantly. Those five Elders were the famous Five Guardians of the Seven Stars Academy. All of their cultivation had reached the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage. But Xu Que was only in the Human Celestial Stage. How could he be their opponent?
Behind them, Ming Cheng watched the five Elders encircle Xu Que in an attempt to kill him. He revealed a malicious smile. Although the Celestial Artifact was destined not to be his, he was satisfied to see the end of Xu Que.
However, Xu Que was cool and indifferent.
With the sharp sword in his hand, he stood in his spot in a leisurely and carefree manner. He wasn’t tense or on his guard like he would be if confronted with a formidable enemy. It was only when the five Elders darted in front of him that Xu Que revealed a cold smile and he gently moved his feet.
Whoosh!
Instantly, his figure was blurred and he disappeared from his spot.
“What?” The five Elders stared with their eyes wide open, and they cried out alarmingly. It was beyond their belief. It was merely the speed of someone in the Human Celestial Stage, and surprisingly they couldn’t even catch a glimpse of him?
“No!” Suddenly, one of the Elders shouted. But as he was shouting, a sharp sword suddenly appeared over his head.
Crack!
With a clear, crisp sound, the sharp sword slashed down onto the Elder’s head and cut it in two!
All who were present fell into a dead silence in an instant! Everyone was dumbfounded and in a daze. They could hardly collect themselves from the rude shock.
“This…how is this possible?” The four remaining Guardians were shell-shocked as they murmured. They could feel the chill on their backs.
Xu Que, holding onto a sword, stood in front of the Elder’s corpse. He was like a devil, and it made their blood froze.
Lin Yuxi was astounded. It was beyond her expectations that Xu Que was so powerful.
“Uh?”
Just then, when Xu Que was ready to continue his attack, he suddenly sensed something, and he got a little excited. He felt several familiar presences were approaching. Among the many, there were two presences that he was extremely familiar with.
“Buttface and Duan Jiude?” Xu Que immediately looked up in the direction of the sky.
The four Guardians of the Seven Stars Academy were instantly stunned, and they looked in the distance with astonishment. “Is the Dean coming?” they muttered.
Ming Cheng and his guards were also looking in that direction, with joy written on their faces.
“The Master is here, and many aces from the Ming Family. I can feel their presence.” A guard of the Ming Family was very surprised.
Ming Cheng was ecstatic. He not only felt his father was coming, but he also sensed countless aces from the Li Nation and even the Emperor’s presence.
“I’m saved! I’m saved!” Ming Cheng was screaming in his heart.
Not far away, Lin Yuxi also looked at the sky and was somewhat confused to see Buttface, who had previously made so much trouble on Earth.
The next moment, there was a dark mass of figures, riding on their Magic Arts, It was a dense mass akin to the Cloud of Tribulation, as if millions of Demonic soldiers had arrived—it had a majestic and imposing aura.
Howl! “Don’t be afraid, Brother Que. Your Holiness has come to the rescue. Give me some stinky tofu as a reward!”
“Ha, ha, ha, dude, the old man is here too. Give me some hamburgers!”
Before they had even arrived, the familiar voices of Buttface and Duan Jiude could be heard.
Xu Que revealed a smile. These two b*stards are finally here!
Following which, the dark mass descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
Then Qin Xiangtian, who was leading the Litian Academy, and a large crowd behind him suddenly faced Xu Que, kneeled on one knee, and shouted loudly:
“Qin Xiangtian, the Dean of Litian Academy, an affiliate of the Exploding Heavens Faction, pays my respects to the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
“Yun Zhonghe, the Dean of Yunchen Academy, an affiliate of the Exploding Heavens Faction, pays my respects to the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
“Shui Linglong, the leader of Linglong Hall, an affiliate of the Exploding Heavens Faction, pays my respects to the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
“Zhang Hong, the leader of Heavenly Moon Palace, an affiliate of the Exploding Heavens Faction, pays my respects to the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
..…
“All Hail to the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
Finally, all the elite disciples of the powerful forces and sects in the Earth Continent of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, which totaled more than 100,000 people in the Human Celestial Stage, shouted in unison. It was earth-shaking, deafening, and their voices resonated through space.
Such a powerful and formidable aura was akin to the mighty power of millions of soldiers; it deterred everyone in the region.
In an instant, Lin Yuxi was stunned, and she looked incredibly at Xu Que. This fellow…he’s the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
The four Guardians of the Seven Stars Academy were stunned and stood rooted to the ground, numb with terror.
Ming Cheng and his guards were dumbfounded, and fear was growing in their hearts. They had only two words left in their minds: Oh sh*t!
