Ultimate Scheming System
chapter-91

Xu Que didn't turn to dust and ashes from the combined attack. He didn't die from it. In fact, not a single scratch could be found on his body.

As soon as the dust settled down, his features and build started becoming clear to the rest of the people around.

The phrase "What's the point of letting such trash live" rang out in their minds like thunder. It shocked all of them into oblivion. At the next moment, a strong sense of fear was struck in all of their hearts.

"Impossible. That’s impossible!"

"I clearly saw him being hit by the spell! How could he not have sustained any damage!?"

"It must be an illusory spell. He must’ve used an illusory spell to trick us. Everyone! Quick, do not let him live!"

Many people within the crowd were unable to handle such an intense fear in their hearts as they started screaming out to attack him once more.

"Ke-chi!" Someone conjured a flaming spell and shaped it into a flaming bird and it flew towards Xu Que.

Xu Que was full of smiles. He looked at the flaming ember as it charged down mercilessly towards him.

With a loud crack, a burst of fire smashed down onto his chest. At that very moment, his breastplate gleamed brightly, as it completed withstood the onslaught of flames. In fact, it even scattered the flame and took no damage from it. It was as if a strong wave had smashed into a large boulder, losing all its strength without even scratching the boulder.

"My turn!" An Original Infant Stage cultivator cleared his throat before shouting out. He then conjured his weapon, a sword coming out from his mouth.

As he spat out the sword, it transformed into a sharp long sword and flew towards Xu Que with unimaginable speed.

"Dang!" A dull echo sounded out as the enchanted sword collided into Xu Que’s body and fell to the ground. It lost its magical aura immediately and looked nothing more than a scrap metal.

Xu Que was still moving towards them, undeterred.

He clutched onto his sword, his black robes flapping in the wind as he emanated a strong, crushing killing intent.

"We can't kill him! He’s unkillable!"

"Run!"

"He's a demon. The armor he's wearing is some demonic treasure which we can't break past!"

At that same time, all the cultivators around were shocked and went into a frenzy. They watched on hopelessly as Xu Que continued moving towards them, unimpeded by anything they used against him. One by one, they realized his power and started scattering. A few of them even conjured their flying swords in a bid to escape.

However, there were far too many of them to make a clean escape. Those of them who wished to run away were being blocked by the vast magnitude of people. It was a human congestion and everything turned to chaos. Several people of lower cultivation levels were pushed down to the ground in the pandemonium and were trampled on to death.

"Don't run away! I promise you, I will only kill thirty of you and that would be enough for me!" Xu Que's maniacal laughter rang out as he rode his lightning bolt and moved with the wind.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 40 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 50 act tough points!’

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 80 act tough points!"

...

Boom!

Lightning bolts weaved beneath his feet as the rumbling sound of his movement could be heard. Xu Que charged right into the mass of people.

His Killer Blade was gripped tightly by him like a dagger as he slashed down swiftly, slitting the throats of several cultivators effortlessly.

"Chi!" Instantly, several people lost their lives.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Since host ‘Xu Que’ has yet to overcome the 49 Heavenly Tribulations, the experience points will be kept in the experience pool until he has crossed over to the Original Infant Stage after overcoming the tribulation!"

"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 4 levels of Glory. The current strength boost is: 4x!"

Xu Que didn't stop at all. His lips curled into a smile as he moved on.

He discovered that with each person killed, his Killer Blade became sharper and more deadly. At the same time, he felt a strange and powerful sensation creeping up from the hilt of the blade to his hands and into his body. The sensation felt similar to the powers in his body whenever he activated the fourth form of the Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation.

The only difference was that he hadn't activated that spell and yet he could feel so much power!

All he had relied on was the Lightning Haste spell, the Killer’s Blade and an impenetrable armor. That was enough to make him unparalleled.

If there’s an Infant Transformation Stage present, Xu Que wouldn't have been this arrogant and take so much risk.

However, most people there were of the Golden Core Stage. In fact, there were very few cultivators of the Original Infant Stage. Out of the several hundred cultivators around, there were no more than 10 of the Original Infant Stage.

Additionally, they had lost their will to fight at this point. Each one of them were scrambling to flee. Nobody had thought of fighting back.

Hence, Xu Que just massacred the entire group of them effortlessly, without speaking.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"

…

"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 10 levels of Glory. The current strength boost is: 10x!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points!"

...

The system rang out continuously within his head. With each kill, the subsequent kill became easier and faster.

When he had already accumulated up to level ten, he would then turn his attention towards the Original Infant Stage cultivators. At this point, he could kill a person in under a second.

Afterall, he was at the full foundation of the Golden Core Stage. Added to the fact that he had five spiritual roots which made him nearly invincible.

With such foundations along with his Lightning Haste spell and the added ten times increase in strength, no Original Infant Stage cultivator was a match for his sword.

The more Xu Que killed, the easier it became for him. Although he hadn't cultivated any dagger skills or dagger wielding spells, he killed them all effortlessly.

The entire swarm of people were starting to thin out as Xu Que ran his blade through. Apart from the few who had fallen and was trampled on, everyone else who died was the result of Xu Que.

As for those people who deserved to die, Xu Que was never one to turn soft and show mercy. Neither did he feel like he was being cruel. Because if he didn't have the system, he might've been one of those people in the crowd being slaughtered.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points!"

...

"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 30 level of Glory. The current strength boost is: 30x!"

"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 30 level of Glory. The current strength boost is: 30x!"

"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 30 level of Glory. The current strength boost is: 30x!"

...

His Killer Sword had long reached the 30th level as the messages from the system rang out repeatedly. However, Xu Que didn't stop killing.

One of the dying cultivators shouted out in fear, "You clearly said you'd only kill thirty people. You've already killed more than thirty at this point!"

Xu Que laughed coldly, "Sorry, but you are not people. All of you are scums! All of you scums put together won’t even amount to a single person." As he finished speaking, he ran his blade across the person’s neck as blood spurted all over the place!

"Xiu! Xiu!" Several rays of light appeared within the sky.

Everyone looked up curiously.

Someone from within the crowd recognized their shadows and looked as if they managed to clutch onto a life saving piece of straw. He then shouted out in extreme happiness, "It’s our brothers and sisters from Sky Incense Valley who’ve come! We’re saved! Haha! We’re saved!"

"Haha! Even if immortals came down from the heavens, they wouldn’t be able to save any of you." Xu Que spoke out bluntly.

However, the entire group of people ignored his words and looked up to the skies. They waved frantically to their redeemers and shouted out happily.

"My brothers and sisters from Sky Incense Valley, come and save us!"

"Please come and do something to save us! We’re all innocent."

"This Hua Wu Que is a demon. He’s a crazed, murdering demon."

"He’s a bloodthirsty and vile demon with his unholy chestplate, which made him immune to all the other spells. He then started killing us indiscriminately."

"Please call the Sky Incense Valley Elders and suppress his evilness."

"That’s right! Evil will never triumph over good. Sky Incense Valley Elders, please show us your mercy and magnanimity and save us from the grasp of this evil doer. Show your hand and slay this demon here!"

All the cultivators were screaming out, begging for their lives as they badmouthed Xu Que openly and without limits.
