Ultimate Scheming System
chapter-249

Everyone watched with gaping mouths and eyes in disbelief!

That’s the Killer God! Among the Tiansha Assassins, he was the most reputable and feared killer!

An Infant Transformation Staged level eight who managed to kill a level nine cultivator of the same realm!

Even with such power and ferocity, he was still beaten up so mercilessly by Xu Que who was only of the Original Infant Stage.

"How… How is that possible?"

Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock and were all at a loss for words.

The Water Empress couldn’t help but cover her tiny mouth while her pretty eyes were opened wide in astonishment.

Several moments ago, she had assumed that she’ll lose Xu Que and that he would be killed by the Killer God’s stealthy blade.

If the target had been her, she probably wouldn’t have been able to dodge it.

However, right at the very final moment, the Killer God’s Sword was blocked by a certain force and he couldn’t bring it down in time upon Xu Que. Soon after, Xu Que proceeded to beat him up savagely.

Additionally, that huge black sword could actually produce such unbelievable power and supernatural speed!

When combined together, it didn’t give a single chance for the Killer God to retaliate or defend himself!

In actual fact, Xu Que was ready for the attack when it happened. He could sense the approaching danger so he used the "Troops" Secret Character immediately. He then waited for the old man to appear before catching him by surprise in a brilliant counter attack!

With his full Glory Killer Blade providing him with an additional 30x strength, along with the full absorption of two elements by his God of Hell’s Compulsion, his power and speed had taken huge additional boosts!

With such prowess, sending an Infant Transformation cultivator soaring into the air wasn’t a big deal.

But to truly injure or kill him would be a lot harder!

However, Xu Que knew that he wouldn’t be able to kill the Killer God this way. The reason he did this in such a dramatic fashion was to make himself feel good and to act tough, of course!

As the Act Tough King of his generation, acting tough was all about the way it was being done!

So you’re the Killer God? Do you really think you’re cool?

I shall hit you around like a ball!

Killer God’s Single Stroke is intimidating, huh?

Right before my "Troops" Secret Character, you’re useless! You’re nothing but trash!

"Boom!"

A loud crashing sound rang out as Xu Que used all his strength and made the Killer God fly helplessly towards the Imperial Palace!

The Killer God simply had no means of retaliation as he soared into the air like a kite and crashed heavily against the walls of the palace!

As the loud crash resounded, masses of debris and bricks collapsed and fell to the ground. For several brief moments, the old man’s body was covered in rocks and concrete.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 140 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 180 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 200 act tough points!"

The system notifications rang out in his head, signalling that Xu Que had just earned an entire bunch of act tough points!

Within the throne room, everyone was clearly shocked by this sight. Their eyes were opened wide with astonished looks!

The Fire Emperor’s face was twitching as both his hands gripped the armrest on his dragon throne. His veins were bulging on his forehead as he squeezed tightly, leaving indentations on the wooden armrests!

He had never imagined that the renowned and infamous Killer God from Tiansha would get beaten in such an undignified manner. That far surpassed his wildest imaginations!

He also never expected that in the short span of two days, Xu Que’s powers would increase so dramatically.

"Damn it! This must be the result of the decreasing fortune of the nation!" The Fire Emperor gritted his teeth.

He still assumes that the reason behind all these problems was because luck was on Xu Que’s side. No matter what he did, the failing fortune of his nation would ensure that he would never emerge victorious.

The officials and ministers in the throne room were astounded. After bearing witness to Xu Que’s strengths, they finally understood why the Fire Emperor wasn’t able to defeat him!

This Lord Prince Consort is a powerful demon!

He was an extraordinary demon!

At level eight of the Original Infant Stage, he was able to possess such terrifying powers.

That’s not right… he’s still in the Original Infant Stage?

Are you fucking sure you’re not of the Void Refining Stage?

"Boom!"

Right at this point, the collapsed debris and stones from the walls of the palace bursted out and the shadow of a person emerged from beneath.

Masses of rocks and concrete were thrown up into the sky in a mini explosion.

The body of the Killer God appeared once again as immense killing intent swirled around him. In fact, the killing intent which radiated out from his body was palpable as a gale of wind materialized before him, indicating how furious he was!

This old man was enraged!

Although he had been beaten around like a golf ball dozens of times by Xu Que, he wasn’t actually hurt. It was just that such humiliation was hard for him to swallow!

After threading along the cultivation road for so many decades, he had never experienced anything like this before. Even when he met cultivators who were more powerful than him, nobody had played him around and humiliated him.

But now, he was being humiliated by this furball of an Original Infant lowly scum. Thinking of this made him rage.

"Small bastard, you shall die!" The Killer God embraced his rage and roared loudly. At the next moment, his body disappeared from view and he shot towards Xu Que.

Xu Que’s lips curled into a smile as he moved his hands in an incantation before laughing out, "Yo, old thing, are you angry because you’re ashamed? You expect to be treated with respect just because you’re an elderly? I don’t mean to lecture you, but at your age, you shouldn’t be doing business anymore! Shouldn’t you go home and rest up? Why do you wish to continue killing!"

"Xiu!"

Right at this point, the gleam of a sword reflected bright light as a swirl appeared in the air. Boundless of majestic and intimidating aura permeated through the air before appearing right in front of Xu Que.

At the next moment, the point of the sword was only several centimeters away from the tip of his nose!

However, Xu Que was the least alarmed or afraid. In fact, he still bore a carefree and easy demeanor.

He didn’t even retreat a step back!

With a wave of his hands, the spell which he had summoned in his palms emanated powerful aura.

He then swung his palms at the Killer God’s sword recklessly.

"Jiang!" A loud vibrating sound rang out from the sword as it clashed against something, unable to touch Xu Que at all.

The sword was only inches away from Xu Que’s face and yet it was unable to move further.

"Whoosh!"

At the next moment, the old man’s physical form appeared once again, his face revealed a deeply startled look!

"How… How’s that possible? What… What did you do?" The old man exclaimed in shock.

He had been obstructed the same way earlier when he snuck up behind Xu Que. Back then, he assumed that the Water Empress had secretly casted a spell on Xu Que to protect him.

But now, he could be absolutely sure that this wasn’t due to the Water Empress. In fact, he was certain that this young kid had blocked his strike by himself!

At the next moment, he realized that his most powerful weapon, which had drawn power from his own life force, had lost all connections from him. He couldn’t feel it anymore as if it had severed all ties from its master!

The group of people down below watched intently as their faces revealed looks of shock and fear.

"Is… this kid crazy?"

"Facing the Killer God’s renowned blade, and he’s still so casual about it!"

"But why did the Killer God showed him mercy? He actually stopped?"

"No. The Killer God’s sword was being blocked and obstructed from touching him!"

"That’s impossible! How could anyone block Killer God’s Single Stroke?"

"Have you seen the Killer God’s expression? Didn’t you hear what he asked Xu Que?"

"That is to say, that Killer God’s Single Stroke which nobody had been able to defend himself against, was finally countered?’

The audience only just realized this point before everyone turned silent in shock.

Killer God’s Single Stroke had actually been countered by a level eight Original Infant Staged kid. If word about this got out, everyone would be terrified.

The Water Empress was astounded as well. Although she knew that Xu Que had successfully defended himself the first time, she assumed that he only got lucky once at the right moment.

But now, she realized that something else was not right. The Killer God’s sword had came completely under the control of Xu Que.

Additionally, she was certain that she had felt a wisp of a strange and powerful force permeating from Xu Que!

‘This kid… What has he done?’ The Water Empress was extremely unsettled.

"Heheh... Killer God’s Single Stroke? That’s not right!"

At this point, Xu Que’s lips parted into a smile as he patted the newly acquired blade in his hands.

"Jiang…" The sword vibrated loudly as he slapped the side of the blade once!

"What have you done? Nobody had been able to defend himself against my Killer God’s Single Stroke! What have you done?" The old man regained his senses and exclaimed in fear and shock.

"Nobody could defend? Hehe... you’re truly a retard!"

Xu Que then shook his head as he flicked his wrists, testing the Killer God’s blade in his hands.

After some time, he looked up at the old man and laughed coldly, "Hmm… Killer God’s Single Stroke? I can do it too and... I can do it better. Do you believe me?"
