1507 What Gives You the Right?
“Xu Que?”
Countless people who were present immediately opened their eyes wide and stared disbelievingly.
“Why had this fool come here? Was he here to cause trouble?”
“This is…” Bai Cailing, the Jade Lake Saint, looked especially startled.
Previously, when they’d been in the Jade Lake, she’d attempted to invite Xu Que to come here with her, because the Heaven Palace Sect had secretly issued an order to pursue and capture Xu Que. In the end, Xu Que had rebuffed her, so she hadn’t persisted. She’d intended to turn a blind eye to Xu Que’s whereabouts and also ordered the internal sections of the Jade Lake not to divulge Xu Que’s movements.
And now, this guy had actually come over here by himself and even exposed his ident.i.ty. It seemed as if he was just courting death.
“You animal!” Xuanyuan Hong’s face changed on the spot and became murderous-looking.
The fact that Xu Que had woken them up early had already infuriated the members of the Heaven Palace Sect. But, not only that, this fool had had the nerve to take off some of her clothes while they were still in the cave. He was nothing less than a monster.
“Is this the man who made us wake up nearly 100 years too early?” The old man of the Heaven Palace Sect glared at Xu Que with an icy gaze and asked in a deep voice.
“It’s him.” Xuanyuan Hong nodded coolly.
“Then he should die.” The old man of the Heaven Palace Sect p.r.o.nounced this sentence, suffused with a murderous aura.
It was true that 100 years to people at these cultivation stages could only be considered as a snap of the fingers. However, this 100 years had been very critical. It had been their last chance to rest and acc.u.mulate strength until the natural collapsing of the Heaven Continent’s shackles. When they woke up, everyone’s cultivation stage was supposed to have achieved a breakthrough.
But the problem was that when Xu Que had jolted them awake ahead of time, their cultivation stages had all been stuck at the thresholds of their breakthroughs, and they weren’t able to finish them.
And, at the same time, due to the emergence of all these people of the Celestial King and Celestial Prime stages, the collapse of the Heaven Continent’s shackles had accelerated from nearly 100 years to simply dozens of days.
As a result, it was certainly understandable that all their hate was targeted at Xu Que.
“Yo, there sure seem to be a lot of my acquaintances…” As Xu Que revealed his true appearance inside the restrictive barrier of the Taoist Sanctum, he looked around, wearing his signature sneer playing on the corners of his mouth.
Ming Yixuan was thoroughly shocked to see Xu Que and couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver to himself. He thought of the battle a few days ago in the Heaven Palace Academy. He’d watched helplessly as this evil person had beheaded three Celestial Kings, while he could only frantically run away in fear.
Although he hadn’t partic.i.p.ated in that battle, it had become an inner terror in his soul. It was a terrifying fear. And now Xu Que had appeared in front of him. He couldn’t stop trembling.
“So…so afraid. This is too scary!”
“Ming Yixuan!” Suddenly, a crisp cold shout roused Ming Yixuan.
He sought out the voice that had called to him and looked over. Xuanyuan Hong stared at him with a face full of gloom and said in a deep voice, “Anyone who is of Celestial King stage and above cannot pa.s.s through the restrictive barrier, but we can help you with Mind Sense. We all are going to a.s.sist you with all of our strength to kill this man.”
BOOM!
Her voice had just faded away when several Celestial Kings of the Heaven Palace Sect instantly unleashed a boundless mighty force, which seemed like the sudden arrival of an invisible huge mountain, which landed with a thud on Xu Que.
The ground beneath Xu Que’s feet ruptured on the spot. He seemed to have some difficulty straightening his body. It was as if it had become arduous to budge, having to bear such a huge pressure.
“You b*stard, Ming Yixuan, why aren’t you quickly making your move?” Xuanyuan Hong shouted at this time.
“Yes!” Only then did Ming Yixuan swiftly snap to attention and look at Xu Que, who was seemingly pinned down and unable to move. The fear in his heart slowly diminished, and was closely followed by a sudden rise in an intense hatred.
“What is it? Touch me if you dare.” Xu Que scoffed at him. He appeared nonchalant but a cold sweat had already broken out across his forehead, as if he was finding it hard to bear the powerful pressure.
Ming Yixuan’s eyes began to look fierce and the corners of his mouth slightly opened. His heartbeat began to accelerate as he said through gritted teeth, “Xu Que, all the hatred new and old that I’ve had for you, I’m going to clearly settle all of it with you today! I’m going to kill my inner demons.”
SWIs.h.!.+
In an instant, Ming Yixuan started to move. He unsheathed his sharp sword and slashed across the void. The trailing shadow of his sword looked like it came from a divine sword from the heavens, bright and cold, and it enveloped Xu Que.
“Oh, pathetic.” Xu Que scoffed. An idea came to him, and he directly activated the System’s retaliatory mechanism.
A ma.s.s of liquid metal suddenly gushed out from his interior, pervading his whole body, and solidifying into a black metal.
CLING CLANG! CLING CLANG! CLING CLANG!
Amid numerous clinking sounds of metal hitting against metal, Xu Que had been completely encased in metal in the blink of an eye. The Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod that he held in his hands had also been encased with a layer of metal. His imposing manner soared straight off the charts.
“Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Umbrella!”
The Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod in his hands transformed. The metal blocks rushed toward the top of the rod and unfurled into a metal umbrella, which spanned across the front of his body to protect it.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The trailing shadow of Ming Yixuan’s sword smashed down and struck the surface of the metal umbrella heavily, triggering sounds like explosions.
However, it became almost like the definition of the phrase: to start off with a bang and end with a whimper.
After the edge of the sword touched the metal umbrella, it was immediately deflected, almost like an egg hitting steel.
Not only was Xu Que not injured, he was even able to use this action to help the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Umbrella to free him from the restraints of the Heaven Palace Sect.
BOOM!!
The mighty force that the Mind Sense of the various Celestial Kings of the Heaven Palace Sect had placed on Xu Que was immediately crushed by the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Umbrella.
“Wh…whaaat?”
“How is that possible?”
Xuanyuan Hong and several of the other strong people of the Heaven Palace Sect’s faces changed. They all looked incredulous. Every single one of them, including the great powerful Ancestral Celestial Kings, opened their eyes wide as they gasped.
Although they had heard before that Xu Que had a strange Divine Weapon that was able to change forms and that he had killed three Celestial Kings by himself, now that they had witnessed it with their own eyes, they’d realized how shocking it really was.
The fact that a rod could actually change so quickly into an umbrella and that it could directly shatter the mighty force of the Mind Sense of the Heaven Palace Sect’s several Ancestral Celestial Kings was mind-boggling.
“What kind of Divine Weapon was this?”
SWIs.h.!.+
At the same time, once Xu Que had regained his freedom from the pressure of the Mind Sense of the Heaven Palace Sect , his entire person had suddenly come alive like a runaway wild horse. In a flash, he’d transformed into a shadow and dashed straight toward Ming Yixuan.
“No!” Ming Yixuan looked frightened and then frantically tried to retreat as he roared in a panic, “If you dare to kill me, I will write Jiang Hongyan’s name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi when I die to force them to bury her together with me.”
Amid all the shouting, he had already pulled out the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. Meanwhile, with a wave of his hands, he had already started writing the name.
It was not just a verbal threat from him, but he was really going to put it into action and write Jiang Hongyan’s name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. In this way, not only would he ensure that he would get Jiang Hongyan, but also he could prevent Xu Que from moving to kill him. It was the equivalent of holding a death-exemption card.
“What gives you the right? Who do you think you are?”
Xu Que heaped scorn on him as the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Umbrella in his hands tilted forward slightly. The tip of the umbrella shot out a black blade.
POP!
Ming Yixuan had no time for any reaction before his two wrists were linked and twined by the black blade, and fresh blood then splashed out.
AAHH!
He screamed and his arms froze where he was. He couldn’t move anymore.
The black blade that had sprung out of the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Umbrella was a metal hook with a black metal wire. On the one hand, it could seize others’ divine weapons. On the other hand, it could also be used as a concealed weapon, which was successful in every endeavor.
“Did you really think of yourself as the One Chosen by Heaven just because you’d obtained the Heavenly Book of Taiyi?” Xu Que tugged at the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Umbrella to control both of Ming Yixuan’s hands as he sneered at him. “With one punch, not only can I destroy the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, I can even blow up your death-exemption card.”
BOOM!
Xu Que held up a fist. Two fireworks sprang out, one black and one white, and they twisted around his fist. It looked just like the famous Black-and-White Flaming Fist.
“Stop!!” Out of the blue, Xuanyuan Hong and several of the other strong people of the Heaven Palace Sect exclaimed the moment they saw the flame.
Xu Que remained unmoved. With a flash of anger in his eyes, his fist shot out and the two blasts of black-and-white flames sprang up instantly and transformed into the two heads of the black-and-white Fire Kylin, which shot straight toward Ming Yixuan’s male member.
“No, no, no… Ah!!!” Ming Yixuan was in a total state of panic but couldn’t move at all.
BANG!
In the blink of an eye, the two Fire Kylins blasted Ming Yixuan’s male member. His crotch area was immediately badly mangled and a burning smell filled the air.
HISS!
Gasps could be heard coming from all directions.
Everyone was horror-struck, feeling a chill in their nether regions.
This…was too vicious. With one shot, his ability to produce heirs had been completely cut off.
