1507 What Gives You the Right? (1/2)

”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 identity. 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 pronounced 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 accumulate 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.

Although he hadn't participated 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 pass through the restrictive barrier, but we can help you with Mind Sense. We all are going to assist 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.”

SWISH!

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 mass 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.
