Chapter 61: If You All Win, I’ll Let You All Off

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

The group of cultivators from Phaseless Faction all froze in their tracks.

Rob?

Is he kidding around? Has this fellow cultivated so hard until he’s gone insane?

As a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, how dare you try to rob from us, the Phaseless Faction!?

The middle-aged man did not believe the robbery was going to happen. He looked at Xu Que coldly and replied with a deep voice, "My friend, I suggest that you mind your own business. This area is under control by our Faction. If you insist on being nosy, a signal is all it takes for our Faction’s Elder and his men to rush over here."

Xu Que was elated upon hearing that.

In the group, the person with the highest Cultivation Stage was the one standing right in front of him. He was a Golden Core Stage level 8 cultivator. The others were all in their Core Bearing Stage. Even if he killed all of them, the experience gained would only be very little and not sufficient enough to satisfy Xu Que. When Xu Que heard that their Faction could call for backup at any time, he felt that he couldn’t ask better.

"Are you for real?" He asked the middle-aged man as he chuckled.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, reached out a bamboo pipe from his embrace and pointed towards the sky before sneering, "You can try me."

"Stop talking nonsense already. Quickly call your Elder over here. Oh yes, if it’s alright with you, you can call your entire Faction over. The more, the better. Be quick, I’m rushing for time." Xu Que laughed.

Everybody was stumped.

Another Golden Core Stage Cultivator walked out from the group and spoke to the middle-aged man, "Senior, there is no need to alarm the Elders. Although he is at the maximum stage of the Golden Core Stage, if we take him on together, we will be sure to bring him down."

The middle-aged man laughed coldly and nodded, "Hmph! I wanted to let him retreat on his own accord. Who knew this man is so oblivious of what situation he found himself in. Dressing so oddly and masking up his appearance. He could be a wanted criminal. If we take him down together, a prize reward could await our Faction."

Finished, he kept the bamboo pipe in his embrace as he laughed grimly and looked towards Xu Que.

Xu Que started to panic, "Please don’t. There’s no meaning if you don’t call for backup."

"Hmph! What an arrogant lad. Juniors, let’s take him down together." The middle-aged man ordered deeply, concentrated his two fingers and down came a flying sword. It then flew towards the direction of Xu Que.

A few Golden Core Staged Cultivators emerged from the group at the same time. With looks filled with killing intents, they brandished their sharp-edged swords and surrounded Xu Que in all directions without giving him any way of escape.

The group of Core Bearing Staged disciples with cold eyes, looked on. Some of them even had taunting looks as they nodded mockingly while laughing, "This lad is really tired of living. He dares to challenge our Faction. With our Seniors attacking together, even strong Original Infant Stage level 1 Cultivators will find it a challenge!"

Xu Que looked at the few men trying to engage him in battle and inevitably let out a sigh, " Sigh… what a hassle. Since you people are not calling for backup, here I come!"

Right after finishing his words, his figure suddenly became fuzzy. Akin to a fleeting shadow, he stepped on the lightning and abruptly advanced towards the middle-aged man.

"Dang!"

The middle-aged man’s reaction was very quick as he struck Xu Que with his sword. But immediately, it was blocked by Xu Que’s Dark Heavy Buster Sword. The impact numbed the man’s arm and with a "Clang" sound, his flying sword fell to the ground.

"Senior, be careful." The remaining Golden Core Staged Cultivators witnessed the scene as their expressions changed and one by one, they rushed towards Xu Que with their swords raised.

With Xu Que’s unmatched speed including the Thunder Flash and Thunder Blink spells, he appeared right behind the middle-aged man instantly as he let loose an explosive fist towards the middle aged man.

"Pffff!" The middle-aged cultivator could not even react. His face with filled with astonishment as he stared blankly while he witnessed his own chest being impaled by a big arm. His heart stopped on the spot.

His arm then grabbed onto the bamboo pipe within his robes and pulled it out.

The middle-aged man dropped on the ground. With a big hole in his chest area, fresh blood could be seen spilling all over.

Everybody came into a deadlock in a flash. They were all stupefied and their eyes were filled with utter fear.

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

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

Xu Que laughed briefly. In front of the frightened and shocked group, he held the bamboo pipe up high and from his palms radiated core energy.

"Go!"

Light could be seen escaping from the bamboo pipe into the air. A "Boom" sound followed. Akin to exploding fireworks, the streaks of light started to condense into the air, forming a red blood "Xiang" chinese character.

"Oh, this toy’s pretty fun. Does your faction have anymore of these?" Xu Que, grinning ear to ear, looked at the remaining Phaseless Faction Disciples.

Everybody was flabbergasted. They were thoroughly frightened out of their wits.

Never have they met a person with such a savage way of killing. With only a punch, he killed their Senior who was at Golden Core Stage 8. On top of that, he snatched his bamboo pipe and detonated the signal, helping them to call for backup!

Wh-What is happening?

Is this guy crazy?

Is he really out of his damn mind?

The tens of people all stood still on the ground with faces filled with shock and confusion as they stare blankly at Xu Que. They could not snap out of the situation for a long while.

In the end, a few of the Golden Core Staged Cultivators reacted and furiously shouted, "You dare to kill our Senior? We will fight you to death!"

The few of them brandished their flying swords followed by their figures moving upwards. They turned their heads and ran off.

"Eh…" It was Xu Que’s turn to become stunned. He pouted the side of his lips.

"Damn your mum. Where’s the trust between humans? I’m sure they said they want to fight me to the death but they ran away in the end!"

Xu Que was speechless. He was too lazy to chase after them. He turned his head and looked at the remaining Core Bearing disciples. They were all tangled up like a ball.

"Will I be counted as being too cruel if I put my hands on you low-staged Cultivators? If word is sent out, everyone will laugh at me and term me as a bully. It’s very bad for my reputation!" Xu Que muttered and looked at the bunch of disciples.

He asked awkwardly, "How about this, among yourselves, choose one person. I will spar with him one-on-one. If he wins, I will let all of you off."

"..." The group of Core Bearing Stage Disciples were speechless on the spot.

Sparring?

Our strongest Senior was killed in a second by you yet you have the cheek to ask one of us to spar with you? Damn you! No one can win you.

"I’ll fight you!"

Suddenly, a skinny-looking disciple howled. He walked out from the group with an expression that did not fear death!

He brandished his flying sword and waved his arm. The sword flew out of his hands towards Xu Que.

The next moment, the skinny man along with the group of Core Bearing Staged Cultivators, one by one, started to rise into the air. As if with the same thinking as the Golden Core Stage Cultivators, they quickly fled too.

However, Xu Que did not have any intention to receive the flying sword. With the Lightning Haste skill, his body lightly moved. With a "Whoosh", he dodged the blade of the flying sword.

At the same time, he raised the Dark Heavy Buster Sword with his arms. He aggressively waved forward and immediately activated the Six Corporeal Forms. The towering shadow of the Buster Sword covered the heavens. With boundless might, it covered the skies.

"Boom!"

The shadow of the Greatsword crashed downwards and the group of Core Bearing Stage Cultivators were slammed. Under the frightening and explosive force, they exploded into mere fogs of blood in an instant.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"

…

Xu Que’s lip corner moved and transformed into a cold laugh. He sneered, "Dumb asses, wanting to fool me with your crap of a trick? I was just too lazy to chase after the first group. I’ll go to your Faction later on and kill all of you. Saves me the trouble."

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 50 act tough points!" The system beep sounded yet again.

Xu Que turned his head, only to see the old granny and the child along with the villagers who were hiding at the background, all staring at him blankly.
