Xu Que folded his arms behind his back as he floated in midair, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.
Buttface was in position to run anytime, while toy poodle squirmed anxiously.
Xu Feifei stood near Xu Que, and a surge of uncertainty and uneasiness slowly crept into her mind. She was only an ordinary human. She knew that the gang in front of her had ill intentions, and she could not say for sure if Xu Que was stronger than they were.
Jiang Hongyan, as usual, was the only person as calm and serene as a lake undisturbed by the wind. She stood elegantly near Xu Que, unfazed and smiling, like a fairy who had descended from the heavens.
The young men from the gang had intended to kill and rob them. Upon seeing such a rare, perfect, and flawless beauty, however, their eyes widened in awe.
“Ha, ha!” Xu Que smirked as he pulled Jiang Hongyan close to him and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. He peered icily at the gang, “Peel your damn eyes away from her. If you don’t, I will make all of you blind!”
The men started raging, one by one.
“Audacious! You’re just a nobody, and yet you dare to spit out such outrageous words?”
“Of the many years that we’ve been in the First Realm, this is our first time seeing you around. Before we send off a signal to call for the enforcer, it’s best that you surrender now!”
“You should know the law. Trespassing between realms is punishable by death! Once the enforcer is here, your ending shall be way more tragic than it has to be!”
“Hand over all your valuables and leave your woman behind. If you comply, we could inform the enforcer after you leave!”
The gang were behaving obnoxiously and making all kinds of ridiculous demands because they believed Xu Que was as good as doomed. They were trying to get him to hand over his belongings as they were too lazy to mug him. Secondly, they also wanted to preserve their strength.
Xu Que was amused. He smirked and shook his head, “How interesting! The first thing that we encounter upon arriving is a robbery. There’s no need to rob us so hastily, is there? Since we’re in the same line of work!”
One of the robbers sneered, “Ha, who’s in the same line as you? You’re an alien from another realm. What rights do you have to say you are in the same line of work as us?”
“You misunderstand! By being in the same line, I meant that we are also here to rob!” Xu Que smiled and swung his massive Dark Heavy Greatsword onto his shoulders. His voice was as cold as ice, “This is now the robbery session of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Now, put your damn hands on your heads and kneel!”
Boom!
As his voice rang out, an oppressing and overwhelming pressure burst out of Xu Que and crushed the robbers.
“What?” The blood quickly drained from the robbers’ faces.
“How can this be?”
“What fighting skill was that?”
“Is that strange-looking weapon he’s holding also a Magic Fighting Weapon?”
The robbers chattered among themselves since they were surprised by the incredible yet unfamiliar pressure. They looked at Xu Que’s Dark Heavenly Sword, seemingly guessing that it might just be the effect of his equipment. Thanks to their well-built physiques, they were uninjured from the attack even though the pressure was quite crushing. Xu Que’s orders for them to hug their hands and kneel therefore fell on deaf ears.
“Hmm?” Xu Que was taken aback. To Xu Que, these people practiced a weird kind of Magic Art. Therefore, how they cultivated must be different from how people cultivated in the World of Cultivators. However, judging from their aura, these people seemed comparable to cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Form Synthesis Stage. Logically speaking, they should not be immune to the pressure of his Soul Strength. The only possible explanation was that their big, burly bodies were strong and resilient enough to withstand the pressure of his Soul Strength.
.
“Crap, lad, these people emit a strong aura of the Metal element which far surpasses the existence of the Five Elemental Metals!” Buttface’s eyes lit up in excitement. He seemed to have discovered something.
“An aura of the Metal element that far surpasses the Five Elemental Metals?” Xu Que was astounded.
Although Buttface was sort of tripping over his words, Xu understood exactly what he was trying to say. Everything these men existed in—in other words, the mysterious energy that seemed to coexist with Spiritual Qi in the atmosphere—was precisely the energy that surpassed the Metal Energy of the Five Elemental Metals! However, this begged the question—if it’s an energy that surpassed the Five Elements, could it be equitable to Heavenly Qi?
“Buttface, are you talking about the Heavenly Qi of Metal?” Xu Que turned to Buttface and asked immediately.
Buttface shook his head as he replied mysteriously, “No, no, no, what you mentioned earlier is an existence lower than Heavenly Qi, yet above the five Elemental Qi. It is commonly known as ‘what the hell is this’ !”
“What the hell is this?” Xu Que repeated, stunned.
Buttface nodded, “That’s right, ‘what the hell is this’! I just named it. What do you think, isn’t it cool?” Buttface proudly showed off the lousy humor he had learned on Earth.
“Screw you!” Xu Que was so mad he almost wanted to whoop Buttface there and then. Buttface, on the other hand, took off immediately once he saw how furious Xu Que was.
“I’ll deal with you later!” Xu Que warned. His gaze then landed on those young robbers. His eyes narrowed as he started to observe them.
“What are you looking at? You lowlife have no right to look us in the eye!” One of the young men scowled.
“Let’s cut the crap and deal with him fast, then go for the blood coffin!”The remaining guys glared at Xu Que coldly. Although they were astonished by the pressure Xu Que had unleashed, it was not enough to make them fear him.
Xu Que shook his head and teased, “You guys think too much. I’m not looking straight at you. I am looking down on you!”
Boom!
As soon as he had finished speaking, he stepped onto a bolt of thunderous lightning, igniting a series of insane explosions. “You dare to look right into my eyes? You people will now look up to me. Raise your heads and worship me with respect!” Xu Que bellowed as he rose to midair. He raised the Dark Heavenly Sword as it lit up in black flames and swerved it downward!
“What?”
“What kind of fighting skill was that?”
“This is bad! Retreat!”
The young man immediately paled. They were truly horrified by Xu Que this time around and began to madly retreat. They had never seen flames this horrifying. It was also their first time seeing such immense destructive power in one move!
Boom!
A few of the men started to escape; however, the heat waves generated by the flames of the Dark Heavenly Sword swept out and engulfed them! At that moment, black flames engulfed the whole sky, blocking off the sun. It was as if the world had ended; it immediately swallowed those men within seconds.
“Ahhhhhh!” The robbers let out a series of painful screams, which could be heard coming out of the sea of black flames. With their voices echoing all around, they finally met their demises.
….
In the woods farther down, Mo Mingyuan and his team had just landed near the Blood Coffin. They stopped for a moment upon hearing the painful screams coming from above. A dozen of them looked up and instantly paled. Color drained from their skin as they stuttered in fear.
“How can this be?”
“What happened? How did they…?”
Boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced through the black flames. Leaving a trail, it cut through the void and traveled toward them! In just the blink of an eye, a man stood before them. Red lips, white teeth, the incomer had a handsome face and a sunshine smile. It was none other than Xu Que!
“Gentlemen!”
Xu Que began to speak as everyone else was still dazed. He pointed his Dark Heavenly Sword at them and smirked, “It’s the robbery session of the Exploding Heavens Faction! Now, put your damn hands on your heads and kneel! That Blood Coffin is mine!”
