Chapter 40: You Can’t Leave, Stay Here And Watch Me Act Tough

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

What ruthless? What cruel? What hanging exploding heavens faction?

What kind of stupid name is that?

Is there even such a sect?

Everyone was thrown into a moment of confusion as they looked at each other. Indeed, nobody knew what sect that was.

Only Master Song glared coldly at Xu Que and a faint smile could be seen on his face.

"As for poking fun of our Blood River Sect, you’re the first!"

Poke fun?

The minute Master Song spoke out, everyone paused to listen before they started to react.

"So that kid was trying to fool us!"

"Damn it, he’s looking to die!"

"Catch him! Let’s show him what cruel and ruthless really means!"

In that instant, even without needing Master Song to instruct them, the Blood River Sect disciples rushed towards Xu Que with faces of evident rage.

The 6 members of Great Change Sect were stunned as well. When they first heard that Xu Que and his sect had cornered and surrounded the area, they felt a glimmer of hope that they would be able to escape.

In the end, he was lying about it and was even caught lying.

The situation was hopeless!

The 6 disciples looked towards Xu Que fearfully as they picked up their flying swords off the ground, ready to fight their way alongside Xu Que should things get hostile soon.

Xu Que looked at them and gave a wry smile, "There's no need to help me. I can manage alone."

Wanna steal the blood python away from me? Not a chance!

Xu Que grabbed onto his Dark Buster Sword and rushed towards the Blood River Sect disciples as if he was afraid that they would snatch the prized beast from him.

The 6 Great Change Sect disciples almost vomited blood.

Big brother, are you mentally deficient?

You're a mere level 3 of the Core Bearing Stage. How can you think that you have a chance against them?

Indeed, for a moment, all 6 of them were astonished as they froze in their places.

They watched on with gaping mouths as Xu Que transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged straight towards the Blood River Sect disciples fearlessly. With a wave of his Dark Buster Sword, he conjured a large shadow which descended down upon them.

"Boom!"

A formless burst of energy exploded in the middle causing several Blood River Sect disciples to be thrown off their feet from the impact of the blast. Some of them were flung against nearby trees, while others landed sprawled across the ground and laid still and motionless, clearly dead.

The 6 of them from Great Change Sect were dumbfounded as their faces were full of shock.

Just one move was able to do this?

He had dispatched 6 Blood River Sect disciples in a single move and they were all level 8, Golden Core Stage cultivators!

How… How was this possible?

This kid was clearly a mere level 3 of the Golden Core Stage!

...

The remaining Blood River Sect members were shocked as well as their mouths opened wide in fear. The way they looked at Xu Que took a tremendous change. Their arrogant facial expressions gave way to that of fear as though they were looking at a strange beast!

Master Song was shaken as well. He gawked at Xu Que, his eyes were opened extremely wide.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core."

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core."

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core."

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core."

…

There were 6 continuous beeps which echoed in his head. His experience points had already swelled up to 300,000 points. Just 200,000 more points before he could reach the next level!

Xu Que’s lips curled upwards as he shouted out an instruction in his head, for the system to retrieve the golden cores.

"Ding! Consumed 6 golden cores. The reward is 300,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for gaining a level. The current cultivation level is Golden Core Stage, level 4!"

"Haha! That’s great. Let’s continue!"

Xu Que laughed loudly as he held onto his Dark Buster Sword and charged towards the remaining group of Blood River Sect cultivators who had looks of fear and surprise etched across their faces. They were standing still from shock and didn’t move an inch.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the very last moment, the group of Blood River Sect disciples regained their senses and started conjuring different spells in a bid to defend themselves but were still scared stiff.

Regardless of whatever spells or skills they casted, Xu Que swatted them away like flies, not being affected by a single spell.

After their futile attempts to defend themselves were made apparent, they stared right at the buster sword as it descended down upon their faces. At the next moment, everything turned black as they bade farewell to this world.

To a supreme being, all these attempts to defend themselves were pointless.

With a single stroke, he can overcome thousands of spells.

The group of Great Change Sect cultivators were wide-eyed, completely astonished and somewhat fearful.

"He’s too strong. He must’ve been concealing his strengths from everyone else!"

"That’s right. If you take a look at him, he’s just a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage level four."

"He must be using some sort of concealing spell to hide his true cultivation level and is probably masking his identity so as to not be recognized. Could he be a senior cultivator, who’s at the Original Infant Stage?"

"Based on his powers, it has to be!"

The 6 of them heaved a sigh of relief. No longer feeling like their lives were in mortal danger.

Xu Que was killing the rest of the Blood River Sect happily as well. The system was repeatedly beeping in his mind, informing him of the rewards he had received!

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 80 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

...

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for gaining a level. The current cultivation level is Golden Core Stage, level 5!"

…

"Pow!"

At the very end, Xu Que slammed his Dark Buster Sword down onto the ground, butt first. He then stood in the middle of the wreckage of dozens of bodies. He then shouted out loudly, "Is there anyone else?"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"

…

The only person standing beside the swamp was Master Song and a pair of Blood River Sect disciples.

The pair of disciples looked extremely pale as their lips quivered slightly. Their faces were full of fear.

Master Song maintained a stoic expression as he glared at Xu Que and asked in a low voice, "Who… Who are you?"

"Hehe… I am upright and respectable everywhere with no cause to hide my identity. My name is Xiao Yan and my nickname is Dugu Jiubai!" Xu Que smiled, as his eyes squinted.

(T/N: Xiao Yan and Dugu Jiubai were fictitious characters which appeared in Fight Break Spheres, a popular novel.)

"Xiao Yan?" Master Song hesitated for a moment as he searched his memories before realizing he had never heard of that name. He then asked, "Why do you have a feud and such intense dislike for my Blood River Sect members?"

"Since when did I have a feud and dislike for you?"

"If that’s the case, then tell me what’s the meaning of this?" Master Song then pointed to the rest of his fellow disciples who had died and were on the ground and asked furiously.

Xu Que blinked several times before laughing meekly, "Didn’t I tell you already? I’m robbing all of you. Sustaining casualties during robberies are very common!"

"..." Master Song felt an ache in his chest as if he was on the verge of vomiting blood.

The 3 female disciples from Great Change Sect couldn’t help but to giggle out loud. This mysterious "senior" was too much!

The 3 male disciples were all trying to keep their mouths closed and had a weird expressions on their faces.

The infamous Master Song was actually being bullied now. However wild their imaginations were, this wasn’t even a possibility and yet it was happening right before their very eyes. Should this matter be allowed to spread, the entire Wind City would be in astonishment and disbelief!

The 6 of them were clicking their tongues in surprise, extremely shocked at this recent turn of events.

Xu Que raised his head to look at the sky and realized that it was still early. He then turned to Master Song and the other 2 disciples. "Eh, why are there so few of you Blood River Sect disciples? Can’t you call more people over? After All, the more the merrier right?"

"Pu!" Immediately after hearing this, the 3 male disciples from Great Change Sect spat out saliva uncontrollably.

They didn’t spit out saliva from laughing but were stunned.

The few of them hurriedly spoke out, "Sen… Senior, how about we leave it as that?"

"Yes, senior. We shouldn’t offend the Blood River Sect. Why don’t we leave now while we still can?"

Xu Que turned around and glared at them, "Leave? What do you mean leave? They’re just Blood River Sect. What’s so scary about them! The rest of you aren’t allowed to leave as well. You have to stay here and watch me act tough… Cough, no, I mean you have to watch how I teach these guys a lesson."

The Great Change Sect disciples didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

We’re finished. We’re finished! At first we thought that we’ve met an upright and honest senior. Looks like we’ve met an insane person.

He had already killed so many Blood River Sect disciples. Instead of running away, he even asked Master Song to call for reinforcements? Why is there someone so dumb?

Don’t you know, Blood River Sect is controlled by 8 strong cultivators who were of the Original Infant Stage?
