Chapter 1472: Unbelievable

“Beat Deputy Dean Li to death in three moves?”

Xu Que’s words immediately startled everyone, and they stood open-mouthed looking at him.

Even if a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was without rival in his rank, he would at least have to fight hundreds of rounds to be able to subdue and kill his opponent when he encountered an opponent of the same cultivation stage.

Deputy Dean Li was now at the cultivation stage of a True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, while Xu Que was a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. His cultivation stage was actually one level lower than that of Deputy Dean Li. And he’d dared to threaten to kill him in three moves.

It was outrageous. It was simply vulgar claptrap and braggadocio that he was using to impress the crowd of male and female cultivators.

People laughed out loud and shook their heads in disbelief.

BOOM!

Deputy Dean Li already held a Jade Ruler in his hands, and it filled the tense atmosphere with a spell that transformed into an Array. It brought with it a harsh, strong energy that flew straight at Xu Que.

Xu Que still looked extremely calm and languidly took out a cigarette, which he put in the corner of his mouth in an insouciant fashion. He beamed and said boldly, “My first move is, light a cigarette.”

POP!

He snapped his fingers loudly and the force of his Celestial Core Power instantly turned into a spark of tiny flame and lit the cigarette.

“???”

Everyone stared blankly with their mouths open.

“Tell me this isn’t really his first move?”

“My second move is to smoke the cigarette.” Xu Que inhaled deeply and narrowed his eyes. He looked like he was really enjoying smoking this cigarette. His mouth slightly parted to allow a wisp of white smoke to slowly stream out.

“???”

The entire crowd was struck dumb.

“Is this really his second move?”

“You son of a b*tch, get ready to die!”

Deputy Dean Li charged in front of Xu Que, his face full of anger and ferocity. He waved the Jade Ruler in his hand and the resplendent Array suspended above his head instantly turned into a pack of densely packed swords, which were as brilliant as a meteor shower, aiming as many as possible to strike at Xu Que.

“The third move…”

Xu Que abruptly lifted his eyes and stared directly at Deputy Dean Li , who now stood right in front of him. The corners of his mouth held a hint of a chilly smile.

SWISH!

The next moment, Xu Que’s figure suddenly flashed so fast that it became blurry. He actually tore straight toward those densely packed brilliant swords.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Dozens of these sharp brilliant swords smashed into Xu Que’s blurry figure, but, before they could do any harm, all of them exploded in the air and turned into broken stars.

And not only did Xu Que’s speed not weaken, but instead he suddenly flashed even faster and immediately appeared at the side of Deputy Dean Li.

“Oh no!” Deputy Dean Li’s face immediately changed, and a chilliness abruptly welled up in his back, which cut and pierced straight through his heart.

“The third move, and you’re dead!”

Xu Que with an extremely despicable smile on his face was less than a foot away from Deputy Dean Li.

He raised his arm slowly, and his whole palm blossomed with a beautiful golden light.

Deputy Dean Li just couldn’t react in time and was soon struck with extreme force on the back of his neck by a chop of Xu Que’s hand.

CRACK! CRACK, CRACK, CRACK…

In an instant, Deputy Dean Li’s body stopped and stood rigidly in the place where he’d been attacked. A concentrated sound of crisp, shattering bones breaking rang out from his body.

The bones in Deputy Dean Li’s body actually broke down and collapsed from the neck downward in unbroken succession.

AHHH!!

His face had a terrified, pained expression. He wanted to shout out in disbelief, but, due to the immense pain felt by his physical body, it became a heart-wrenching and blood-curdling screech.

He knew clearly that the shattering bones in his body were all deeply embedded in his Meridians and Dantian area. It would cut off his vitality and obliterate his cultivation.

“Stop it!”

Dean Li didn’t know what to do to help Deputy Dean Li . He yelled out and rushed forward to try to protect Deputy Dean Li.

However, Xu Que basically didn’t intend to allow him to carry out his move. He stood, with his hands clasped behind him, and beamed at both the Dean and the Deputy Dean.

PLOP!

Suddenly, Deputy Dean Li opened his mouth and threw up a big mouthful of blood. The pupils of his eyes gradually enlarged and slowly lost their luster. His entire vitality had scattered and been hollowed out.

BANG!

Deputy Dean Li fell heavily to the ground, took his last breath, and died.

Right up until his death, his face had maintained a kind of terrified, pained expression. He even looked somewhat confused, as if he basically couldn’t understand why he’d been so weak and lost to a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.

Unfortunately, he died too fast, and he’d never figured it out in the end. He only cried out with a bloodcurdling screech and then bid farewell to the world. Even his soul didn’t survive.

“..…”

There was dead silence. Not a single voice could be heard. It would have been possible to have heard a pin drop.

All the disciples of the Heaven Palace Academy were dumbstruck, and they felt as if they had lost their souls.

Dean Li stared wide-eyed at Deputy Dean Li on the ground and looked aghast.

The Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, Ming Yixuan, also stood without moving, his mouth open wide, his face full of shock.

Even Jiang Hongyan looked started, and she looked at Xu Que with surprise.

No one had thought that Xu Que was actually this powerful.

He didn’t use three moves to kill Deputy Dean Li. He only used one.

The most important point about the whole incident was that he hadn’t used any Magic Art, nor a Celestial Artifact. He’d only relied on one chop of his hand and intense frightening power to easily kill Deputy Dean Li in a flash.

Such a clean and effective, but also incomparably fierce, method, was simply hair-raising.

“Brother Que, you’re awesome, 666!”

“Master Buttface, calm yourself. This was just a basic operation for the Exploding Heavens Faction. No need to shout 666.”

At this time, Buttface and Duan Jiude were chortling loudly, frantically clapping their hands and shouting.

They had stayed on the sidelines to watch the show and had never had any plans to help. Instead, they’d kept moving closer to the betrothal gift that Ming Yixuan had brought.

Everyone present also eventually emerged from their stupors, but the fear on their faces didn’t abate at all.

Everyone’s gazes turned to look at Zhang Zhangshui and then again at Xu Que, greatly shaken to their cores.

“Could it be…could it be that everything Zhang Zhangshui had stated was true?”

“Was it possible that this guy’s power was in defiance of the natural order at such an unimaginable level: where Celestial Kings could be trapped and killed, a Heavenly Tribulation could be commanded to retreat, and Celestial Primes were scared away.

In that case, it seemed very normal and reasonable that he could kill Deputy Dean Li with one move.

“But why did it still seem so unreal?”

A Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven with a bone age of less than 200 years old was already a very unreal existence in itself. Moreover, he was also powerful to this unimaginable degree, which was hard for people to accept.

“Xu Que, you’ve got some nerve. How dare you kill my Heaven Palace Academy’s Deputy Dean.” At this time, Dean Li’s stern voice roared.

His face was full of fury and malevolence. He stared hard at Xu Que as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

“Oh, what’s going on? Do you want to practice with me too? Come on, I’ll let you have the first move. Same rules as before, my surname will not be Xu if I don’t kill you within three moves,” Xu Que rolled up his sleeves and said with a nasty smile.

But Dean Li did not move to strike. With a cold glint in his eyes, he said seriously, “Xu Que, I, the Dean, admit that your strength exceeds my expectations, but…”

At which point, Dean Li suddenly took out a thumb-sized Jade Bamboo and sneered, “But I simply don’t believe that you really have the power to fight against an Ancestral Celestial King.”

WHOOSH!

As his voice faded away, that piece of Jade Bamboo in Dean Li’s hands suddenly was swept up into the air, where it exploded and cracked open. The scattered glow was made up of dark green inscriptions that formed a spell in the air.

“A teleportation spell?” Buttface was immediately surprised.

“D*mn, this is terrible. It looks like that old woman wants to teleport those Celestial Kings over,” Duan Jiude yelled.
