Chapter 85: Is There Really Starlight In The Star Miscanthus?
“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 50 act tough points!”
“Hmph! You talk really big!”
“That green robed young man was probably his companion and they were just putting on a show to make us fear them.”
“I don’t believe that a single mere Golden Core Full Foundation Stager can fight with us, who are also at the same stage as him!”“Kill him!”
Just as the system beep sounded in Xu Que’s head, the five Golden Core Stagers couldn’t tolerate him any longer.
After shouting out in anger, the five men attacked swiftly!
In order to get the privilege to join Sky Incense Valley, they decided to fight each other for it. More importantly, they didn’t believe that Xu Que, who was just at the Golden Core Full Foundation Stage, could be that strong.
“Grrr!” The five men attacked simultaneously. Countless rays of light emerged from their sword skills. Along with lines of flame being released, they formed a huge and formidable offensive net and charged towards Xu Que.
Tang Xue Rou, Zhang Su Liang and the others turned pale in an instant.
“What powerful skills. These five men are in perfect sync. It seems like they’ve known each other for a long time.” Zhang Su Liang exclaimed in surprise.“I’m afraid that even our Elite group of Seniors can’t compare to them.”
“The black robed man is in deep trouble this time.”
“Unless he executes that high-speed ‘Dark Willow Limbo’, then maybe he would have a shot at running away.”
The few Celestial Disciples spoke out gloomily. They had never seen such high level cultivators clash back in their Sect. Of course, this didn’t include the time when Xu Que exploded his ‘Buddha’s Fiery Lotus’ upon the Sect.
“Boom!”
At the same time, Xu Que had already lifted up his Dark Heavy Buster Sword. A dark hurricane of energy surged from his body and his black robe started fluttering by itself without any wind!
Immediately, a faint green light emerged from his body. It was completely filled with rich wood element Spiritual Qi. After countless plumes of Willow leaves landed, Xu Que’s entire figure abruptly disappeared!
“He’s trying to run away with the ‘Dark Willow Limbo’!”
“Hmph! It’s no use. Too late for him to run now!” The five Golden Core Stagers coldly jeered and attacked simultaneously.
But at the next moment, a frightening aura filled the air and started to move towards them.
The five Golden Core Stagers’ expressions changed. An intense and suffocating feeling of uneasiness crept onto them.
“That’s not right. This feeling…”
“Quick, dodge!” The few of them screamed in shock.
But it was all too late. The sky darkened as if nightfall had approached.
Soon after, the few men witnessed a pair of eyes which were as dark as night. Their faces were filled with fear and shock.
“No!!!”
The Xu Que they thought who had fled, suddenly appeared before them and was within an arm’s length away.
It was too late for them to run. They let out a shout of disbelief and attempted to resist one last time.
However, the Dark Heavy Buster Sword had already transformed into an overwhelming, dense dark shadow. It enveloped the entire area as it crashed down upon them.
“Pff! Pff! Pff!” The men were crushed into mists of blood. Their bodies exploded in mid-air and resembled red fireworks.
“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Golden Core Staged Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!”
“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Golden Core Staged Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!”
“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Golden Core Staged Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!”
“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Golden Core Staged Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!”
“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Golden Core Staged Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!”
…
“Ding! Since host ‘Xu Que’ have currently yet to complete the 49 Heavenly Tribulation, the obtained experience points will be temporarily stored in the Experience Pool!”
A chain of system beep sounded in Xu Que’s head.
He landed and kept his Dark Heavy Buster Sword. An expression of pleasant surprise filled his face.
The reason that he did not execute the Lighting Haste was because he didn’t want to reveal his identity.
When he was at the Celestial Sect, he had used the Lightning Haste along with the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations. He then finished off the old female Elder with the Buddha’s Fiery Lotus. Back then, he did not use his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Hence, Xu Que chose to execute the “Dark Willow Limbo” which he had just learnt, combined with the “Six Corporeal Forms” to keep his identity concealed.
He didn’t expect that the explosive speed of the Dark Willow Limbo would cause the Six Corporeal Form’s powers to increase by many folds. Even without the amplification of power that came with the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations, he was able to finish off the five Golden Core Staged Cultivators in one swift move.
It completely exceeded Xu Que’s imaginations!
“Who knew that these skills could be used this way. Looks like this ‘Dark Willow Limbo’ is becoming more and more interesting!” He thought to himself as a magnificent display of blood fireworks flashed past his eyes.
Not too far away, Tang Xue Rou and Zhang Su Liang were stupefied.
When Xu Que activated “Dark Willow Limbo”, they thought that he had fled.
They didn’t expect Xu Que to advance instead of retreating. Furthermore, he destroyed the entire opposition in one move.
Just one move caused the five Golden Core Stagers’ bodies to explode into blood mists. Not a single ounce of flesh remained. This bloody scene caused everyone a certain amount of distress.
In that moment, they felt the exact same way when Xu Que went to the Celestial Sect to seek revenge. Their bodies started to tremble in fear.
“Senior… senior Zhang, I’m afraid that this man’s powers are on par with that Xu Que guy!” One of the Celestial Sect disciples stated while trembling.
Zhang Liang’s face looking as dignified as ever, nodded gently, “Xu Que previously borrowed a strange flame skill which allowed him to generate insurmountable amounts of power. Today, this black robed man merely depended on his ink-colored Buster Sword which made him equally scary. These people are too powerful!”
“Don’t you guys feel that, this black robed man’s voice is familiar? Also, I have this feeling that I’ve met him somewhere before.” Tang Xue Rou asked suspiciously.
Zhang Su Ling and the others paused for a moment before nodding, “After hearing you mention that, his voice definitely sounds like Xu Que’s.”
“But there are so many people in this world and people with similar voices are everywhere. Nothing strange about it.”
“Yeah, you’re right!” Tang Xue Rou nodded gently and didn’t think about it any further.
“Oh dear. My fellow Juniors, let’s go to other areas to search. Maybe we can find the Star Miscanthus elsewhere.” Zhang Su Liang looked away as he let out a sigh before laughing awkwardly.
“Okay.” The few others nodded and didn’t have any more opinions on the matter.
They didn’t dare to return to that Star Miscanthus which they first laid claims on after witnessing Xu Que’s prowess.
…
Xu Que snapped out of his thoughts. Seeing that Tang Xue Rou and the others were leaving, he called out to them, “Hey, you guys, don’t you want the Star Miscanthus?”
Tang Xue Rou and the others halted for a moment and turned their backs in surprise. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
“Take it. I have many of these.” Xu Que waved his palm. The Star Miscanthus in his hands floated off and landed nicely on Zhang Su Liang’s hand.
The few of them became even more astonished.
What’s happening? This black robed man spent quite some effort to snatch the Star Miscanthus away. On top of that, he even killed five Golden Core Stagers without batting an eyelid. And now he was so ready to part with the Star Miscanthus. What is up with him?
“Why are you still standing there? Quickly keep it. If someone tries to snatch it, you won’t be so fortunate to meet such a hero like me.” Xu Que said with his hands behind his back, his face had a profound and mysterious look.
“Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!”
Zhang Su Liang and the others immediately reacted and were overjoyed. This black robed man had actually helped them out. They clasped their hands in gratitude, “Senior, thank you so much for helping out. We will definitely remember your act of kindness in our hearts!”
The rest followed suit and thanked Xu Que profusely.
With their Cultivation Stage, they felt that they had to address Xu Que as ‘Senior’ no matter how young he was. They had nothing to lose from that!
“Oh yes, let me take this chance to ask. Does the Star Miscanthus really contain starlight?” This time, Xu Que suddenly asked in curiosity.
Zhang Su Liang and the others were at a loss for words. They then nodded, “Senior, we… we haven’t tried it before. But we’ve heard that after burning the plant, starlight will sprout from it. But since the Star Miscanthus is so valuable, I reckon that nobody has ever tried it before!”
“Oh!” Xu Que nodded as he stroked his chin and started to contemplate.
Zhang Su Liang and the rest looked at one another in dismay. They had not quite grasped the erratic temper of this “Senior” and did not know whether to stay or take their leave.
However, at the next moment, they were dumbfounded.
They witnessed Xu Que taking out a Star Miscanthus. He ignited a ray of Fire Element spiritual Qi on his fingertip, which transformed into a fiery flame as he proceeded to set the Star Miscanthus on fire.
