Chapter 953: The One Against 100!

Robbery?

They were first astonished, then frowned, upon hearing Xu Que’s words. They glared at him icily and were prepared to kill this bastard before them.

Xu Que smiled mildly, “Come on, spare me those looks. You were the ones who wanted to rob me first; I am just returning the favor. This ain’t too much to ask, right?”

“Hmpf! What an obnoxious man!” A few of the men remarked, shaking their heads. Some of their faces darkened as they spoke, “The people who provoked you are no relation to us. No matter what, your speaking of robbery has offended us all!”

“Heh, why do we have to be so hung up on that word? Young man, you look unfamiliar. You don’t belong to the First Realm, do you? A trespasser from another realm, I see. It’s a sin you’ll be dying for!”

“Let alone robbing you, if we were to execute you, it would still be logical and righteous!”

“Everyone, we have seen how powerful this person is, why don’t we put aside our conquest for the blood coffin and deal with him first?” Mo Mingyuan suggested. Now that they had seen Xu Que’s abilities, everyone was on guard. He might prove to be a tough cookie if they refused to join hands.

“I agree, this lowlife is but an insignificant ant from a lower realm. He dared to trespass in our realm and provoke us; if we don’t deal with him, we can kiss good-bye to our reputations should the word get out!”

Everyone nodded in agreement; though they hadn’t spoken, their actions couldn’t have been clearer. The gang surrounded Xu Que and was prepared to fight. Vast amounts of energy flowed out of them as they approached him.

“Wow, are you bullying us with numbers? Well, well, I shall fight you, single-handedly!” After which, he placed one hand behind his back and smiled. His actions triggered some short-tempered individuals in the group.

“Insolent!”

“You are digging your own grave! Charge!”

Those few were as furious as a bull seeing red, and a brillance suddenly engulfed their bodies, which began to transform.

A sudden flash, and the skin on their arms began to throb, forming a metallic surface. One of them had electricity on his metal arms, while the other had his steel arms covered in flames.

Boom!

A slight push against the ground and the ground cracked like a spiderweb. They charged toward Xu Que like missiles. Upon seeing this, the rest followed suit. From their auras, Xu Que could differentiate who was stronger; the one thing they had in common was that their skin was replaced with metal. It only appeared on their forearms, and the colors differed from person to person.

Xu Que narrowed his eyes as he observed his enemy, the hand he hid behind his back were already charged with an overwhelming amount of Taoist Connotation.

A 20,000 points worth of King of Tough-Acting Fist was ready to strike.

Bam!

At almost the same time, the first few who initiated the attack had charged to the right before Xu Que, bulldozing him with their immense pressure. Their arms had turned into metal completely, some had electricity on them and some had flames bursting out as they unleashed their attacks on Xu Que.

“Heh, this is interesting!” Xu Que smirked as he lifted the Dark Heavenly Sword into the air.

“Careful!” A few of the attackers dodged swiftly upon seeing that frightening weapon. However, that was the moment Xu Que attacked with his left hand from behind his back. A massive golden fist appeared out of thin air, its power so huge that it could destroy all life. With an all-crushing pressure, it charged forward toward the attackers.

Boom!

The Tough-Acting Fist landed on the few men charging at the front; the impact sent them flying a few miles away like kites with broken strings. Blood flew from their mouths as they traveled through the air.

“What?” exclaimed the people at the back. They were stunned.

However, the blow from the King of Tough-Acting Fist was not yet finished; it pushed forward powerfully as it shook heaven and earth, destroying everything in its way.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Instantly, after a few muffled thuds, dozens were swept off their feet. It was quite a scene to behold.

“Hmm?” Xu Que was, however, mildly surprised. He was puzzled. If he was in the World of Cultivation, even a powerhouse at the peak of the Form Synthesis Stage would be no match for the Tough-Acting Fist worth 20,000 points. They would have been instantly dead, blown into pieces right on the spot. However, while the people before him were severely injured, no one had died from the attack.

“That’s impossible! The King of Tough-Acting Fist was less effective than the Eight Waste Destruction Flame?” Xu Que’s eyebrows knitted together. When he used the Eight Waste Destruction Flame, he was able to kill some attackers with the black flame in a matter of seconds. He ascertained that it was indeed within his abilities to kill them, and thus did not see them as a threat. However, his goal in using the King of Tough-Acting Fist was to end these people once and for all, without wasting any more time. Little did he know that the Tough-Acting Fist would fail him one day. He definitely did not expect to not kill even one of them with the fist.

“Unless…it is related to the Taoist Connotation?” Xu Que began to ponder. It was clear that the Tough-Acting Fist had been executed with the Taoist Connotation, and, with it, the fist could oppress and defeat his enemies. The Eight Waste Destruction Flame, however, inflicts real, concrete damage through flames and explosions. If put into the context of a game, the damage of the Tough-Acting Fist could be defined as magic damage, while the Eight Waste Destruction Flame would deal out physical damage.

However, it was now evident that people of this realm were immune to magical damage to a certain extent. There was only one possible reason for this phenomenon to occur. Xu Que guessed that was perhaps related to the laws governing this world. Here, the Taoist Connotation was significantly reduced. On the other hand, Mystical Fires were boosted instead.

“Crap, I see it now! Mystical fires originate from the Battle Qi Continent!” Xu Que came to a sudden realization. While his Mythical Fires were redeemed from the System, they originated from the Battle Qi Continent. Come to think of it, these people were yelling about fighting skills and magic fighting weapons. While Xu Que was sure they were not using Battle Qi, the power that they were using could be related to Battle Qi.

Whoosh!

Xu Que stepped out onto a bolt of lightning and arrived in front of those people. Though they were not dead from Xu Que’s attack, the terrifying power of his fist had knocked them all to the ground, bloodied and unable to fight. Some paled in horror as they saw Xu Que coming toward them.

Someone howled at him furiously, “Despicable! You said that you would only fight with one hand. You snuck an attack!”

“Snuck an attack, your ass! Didn’t I only use one hand to fight as promised?” Xu Que laughed coldly as he strode forward. He then brought down the Dark Heavenly Sword.

Thud!

A muffled thud could be heard when the sword landed heavily on the person’s chest. His eyes became bloodshot as he bolted up from the ground. “You….” He glared at Xu Que, but before he could finish his sentence, he collapsed just like that, losing all signs of life.

“Heh, so what if I did sneak an attack? You all think that you can beat me? I’ll fight my battles however I want. Besides, all of you are weak. Who gave you the confidence to offend me, I wonder?” Xu Que laughed icily.

All of them lay on the ground, the metal on their forearms long faded. Covered in blood, they were astounded by Xu Que’s power and had a deep sense of wariness in their eyes. They could not refute what Xu Que had said. They were clear that with Xu Que’s prowess, he could fight them in any way he wanted and the outcome would still be the same.

Who exactly was this fellow?

Awe and confusion filled their hearts. They had never seen a young man with power so great. He was like the one man who could go against 100!

“Stay where you are, lie down, and don’t move. Whoever answers my questions stands a chance to live!” Xu Que folded his arms behind his back as he strolled toward them.

“One, where is this place?”

“Two, what’s the origin of the Blood Coffin and what is it used for?”

“Three, tell me how you cultivate!”

“Four, am I handsome?”

“Five, the fourth question is very important!”
