1494 Are You Trying to Kill Me with Laughter? (1/2)

”Boy, how's it going? Who's lying in there? Is he alive or dead?” Buttface asked curiously as he stood at the mouth of the cave on tiptoes, trying to peer inside.

But he didn't forget to stand quite far back. It was obvious that once he felt a hint of danger, he would immediately turn around and run away.

Duan Jiude was hiding behind Buttface, also looking very serious. He was likewise ready to escape at any time.

This kind of situation had become a common occurrence for Xu Que. He was too lazy to even say anything. Anyway, the two of them had set up the Trap & Kill Array at the entrance, which was the important thing. If there was really some danger going to take place here soon, then the Trap & Kill Array would be enough to create time for him to run away. So, at this point, he was not overly worried.

Of course, he really didn't want to wake up all these the powerful beings that were in either the Celestial King or the Celestial Prime cultivation stage. If they all woke up at the same time, there would be big trouble.

”System, I opened this coffin. Why hasn't this person woken up?”

The woman lying in the coffin hadn't moved at all. Xu Que was dying to know how the System would explain it.

The System also seemed to be surprised about this. It stayed silent for a long time before it gave a response.

DING! ”The host should use his own methods to try to rouse this person.”

”I should try on my own to rouse this person? F*ck, are you saying that any method will do?” Xu Que was getting pretty angry.

”As long as you can wake up the target, you can still get a reward,” the System responded.

”Oh, yeah. Why do I still feel like there's a conspiracy against me going on?”

Xu Que frowned. He wasn't in a big rush to start waking up this person.

”System, in fact, I'm still wondering. Aren't you afraid that I'll escape right away after I wake her up? In that way, I get the reward, but you don't get to achieve your goal of refining my cultivation. So, what's the point?” Xu Que voiced the doubts in his mind.

He'd been planning such a simple escape, but he didn't believe that the System wouldn't anticipate it.

DING! ”After many calculations, I believe that as soon as the host wakes up the powerful being, the altar will start to move and seal the space. The host will have nowhere to escape to and be forced to stay and experience a life-or-death battle. After the battle ends, the host will be able to completely merge all his new Celestial Arts, and your strength will be completely consolidated.” The System responded calmly.

”Well, this is just as I expected.” Xu Que smiled calmly. In fact, he had long guessed that this was going to happen.

He hadn't guessed specifically what was going to occur, but he'd always been sure that the devious System would never do anything with such an obvious bug.

Therefore, Xu Que was faced with a really big dilemma.

If he were to wake up the powerful being in the coffin, he would have to go through a life-or-death battle. Xu Que was fairly confident that he wouldn't die.

On the other hand, if he didn't wake up the powerful being, then there wouldn't be any danger. But then this whole trip would've been in vain.

”Alas, it's really hard to choose. I don't want to take this risk without some good reason. It's really too humiliating to be led around by the nose by this System.” Xu Que shook his head. He felt somewhat worried.

What he'd wanted was to wake up this person in order to obtain the rewards and then escape right away. He felt it was really too troublesome to fight.

But now it seemed as if there was no way to get what he wanted without fighting.

DING! ”Reminding the host again that once you wake up the other party, the altar will seal off the space immediately.” At this point, the System beep sounded again.

Xu Que was feeling slightly annoyed by the System so he answered, ”So?”

The System beeped again.

DING! ”So...don't try anything stupid.”

”Holy sh*t!”

Xu Que got furious.

”What does it mean by don't try anything stupid?

”It makes me so mad!

”How has the system gotten so arrogant?”

”Okay, I'm not going to try anything stupid today. So what if she is a powerful Celestial Prime. Once I throw out my hidden trump card, they'll have to die.” Xu Que laughed coldly. He gestured with a big wave of his hand and instantly marshaled his Celestial Core Power to hit the woman in the coffin.

BOOM!

However, just as the Celestial Core Power got near the woman, it was suddenly deflected by an invisible light shade. The Celestial Core Power hit the bronze coffin, which immediately started to make a loud vibrating sound.
