"Boom!" The massive ripple in the air spouted out in the sky.

A single Original Infant Stage Tiansha Assassin wasn’t prepared as he didn’t even have time to move his hands and was already pounded by the powerful punch. He was then transformed into a mist of blood at once as he exploded in the air.

Xu Que’s physical body was way too powerful. With the God of Hell’s Compulsion, he was terrifying.

He was way more powerful than how an Original Infant cultivator should be.

This was especially after completing the fire and electrical energy portions of the ability. His body was now at 25% of being an immortal!

His speed was astonishing as well. A pair of Eight Waste Destruction Flames wings spouted out from his back along with his Lightning Haste spell, making his figure a blur whenever he moved as it was too quick for anyone to keep their eyes on him. Normal cultivators wouldn’t even be able to see his shadow.

Under such intense speed, the amount of power he dished out whenever he punched someone was immense. His physical body had become such a formidable weapon.

"Boom!" A loud crack sounded as Xu Que appeared and punched the air.

Another ripple emerged in the space where Xu Que had punched. The rippling air emanated powerful energy as it coursed through the air towards another Tiansha Assassin. When it reached him, he fell to the ground and died instantly from the severe wounds sustained.

Just his brute strength alone was enough to destroy many protective spells.

The crowd had stopped in their frenzied dancing. When they heard the song "Peerless", everyone paused.

This song was rather slow and sad, hence, it was hard to dance to!

But this song was truly too accurate!

When they looked up at how Xu Que was slaughtering the assassins to the lyrics of this song, they were all beyond astonished!

It was so lonely to be peerless!

It felt so empty to be peerless!

Some time ago, Li Bai of the Heavenly Explosion Faction had sang this song before. When he did that, everyone around thought that he was intentionally doing this to humiliate Zhao Wu, the leader of the four great students!

But now, as this song highlighted how powerful and heroic Xu Que was, everything was different!

"He’s formidable!"

"These assassins were sent here to kill him. But now, it seems like he’s assassinating the assassins instead!"

"Even the Fire Emperor is terrified of him that he retreated back into the palace. What could these assassins possibly do to him?"

"He truly is peerless!"

When the crowd looked up to the skies, they couldn’t help but sigh out regretfully.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Xu Que’s form took the shape of a lightning bolt as he flashed around in the sky. Wherever he went, the Tiansha Assassins were transformed into mists of blood.

The vast skies above the Imperial Palace was littered with fireworks of blood, splattering around.

As raindrops of blood fell to the ground, the roof of the palace was dyed red!

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 120 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 130 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 160 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 20,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 20,000 experience points!"

The system notifications rang out loudly in Xu Que’s mind. He couldn’t even count how many people he had slain at this point. He only knew that the system beeps wouldn’t stop.

"Tiansha! All of you are a bunch of trash!" Xu Que halted in mid air as he scanned his surroundings with his eyes and laughed out coldly.

At this point, none of the assassins dared to approach him. Nobody even dared to show themselves around him.

The power and strength which Xu Que had demonstrated shocked everyone present!

"Dog Emperor, stop hiding! You’ve been hiding from the first day of Chinese new year till the fifteenth day. No matter how long you hide, you won’t be able to elude the powerful and magnanimous Xu Que of Heavenly Explosion Faction!" Xu Que started ignoring the cowardly tortoises of Tiansha and turned his attention to the palace once again and started challenging the Fire Emperor.

Everyone around was speechless.

Big brother, did you just call yourself powerful and magnanimous?

Maybe you are indeed powerful. But magnanimous? Please forget about it. You are just like your master Duan Jiu De. Both of you together truly lack morals!

"Killer God, why haven’t you made your move? You don’t have to worry. I shall use my secret spells to help you out now!" The sonorous voice of the Fire Emperor rang out. Despite retreating into hiding, his voice still sounded confident and mighty!

He was pushing the Killer God of Tiansha to make his move now.

When everyone around heard the words "Killer God" they all jumped up in shock!

"Fuck, Killer God? Tiansha’s Killer God is here?"

"That person is truly powerful and shouldn’t be messed around with. He’s level eight of the Infant Transformation Stage. That’s higher than the Fire Emperor himself!"

"That’s not all. It’s been said that the Killer God owns a powerful mystical sword which can be transformed into a sword or a dagger. He moves faster than lightning, and often kills without his victim even realizing that he’s dead!"

"Nobody has ever seen his sword for those who had seen it are now dead!"

"It’s been said that the Killer God has killed a cultivator who was at level nine of the Infant Transformation Stage!"

"That’s too scary. The Fire Emperor must’ve paid a huge price in order for him to come!"

Everyone around retreated several steps back in fear, wanting to put some distance between themselves and Xu Que. Even though Xu Que was in the air and they were on the ground, nobody dared to stand closer than they should, afraid that their lives might be lost to them by accident.

When Infant Transformation cultivators fight, blood would flow like the river and anyone who stands between them would be wiped out from the face of the earth.

Indeed, with the appearance of the Killer God, many of them could feel a chill running down their spines.

"Thud! Thud!"

A loud dull sound rang out and everyone turned their heads towards the sound and saw a large empty street.

When they saw who was walking on the streets, they were all roused.

An old cultivator with a full head of white hair holding onto a walking stick was walking across slowly.

The way he moved so slowly was very strange!

Every single step he took could cause the air around his body to ripple and vibrate.

For an assassin to make such an appearance was very indicative of how he didn’t even respect his opponent.

The way he moved was just like telling Xu Que, "I’m coming to kill you!"

When Xu Que looked, he was first stumped by this. His shock quickly transformed to happiness!

An old acting tough foggey has appeared! Indeed, one should act tough all the way till a ripe old age. Xu Que felt like he could learn something from this old man!

"Killer God, it’s been a long time!" A warm and gentle sounding voice rang out from the skies.

The Water Empress took a step forward before moving towards the ground. She smiled warmly as she spoke out.

Even before she could speak her next sentence, the old man paused in shock and stopped moving forward.

He then raised up his walking stick and looked at the Water Empress. He then shook his head, "I can’t do this favor for you!"

Even before the Water Empress wanted to open her mouth to speak on behalf of Xu Que, the Killer God had already rejected her. Although his voice sounded very normal, there was a certain force and strength to it. It was clear that he wasn’t afraid of the Water Empress.

"Many years ago, I owed the previous Fire Emperor a favor. Today, his son had come to me for help and promised me eight cities to call my own if I helped! Hence, I wouldn’t listen to you even if I wanted to. This kid’s life, is mine!"

"Eight cities?" The Water Empress heard this and was visibly shocked.

In order for the Fire Emperor to kill Xu Que, he could actually pay such an exorbitant price and gave away eight cities of his kingdom to the Killer God. This… was such an unnecessary price to pay!

When everyone heard this, they were stumped as well. In order to claim Xu Que’s life, the Fire Emperor was willing to give away his own lands? And he even gave away eight cities just like that? That was almost a quarter of his entire kingdom!

Such a deal had never been made ever since the creation of this realm!

Xu Que hung in mid air and was shocked as well. Before long, his shock turned to anger as he shouted out.

"Dog Emperor, screw your sister and your eighteen generations of ancestors! Why am I only worth eight cities?! Come out here now. You have to come out and explain this matter to me properly. If not, do you believe that I can make all eighteen generation of your forefather strip naked and start dancing?!"
