Chapter 317: Dodge All You Like!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The explosion was earth-shattering!
The explosion had shaken the group of people!
After the compression of his true core strength, the energy released was far greater what the original Bumblebee had been capable of. The system had modified Bumblebee to adjust it to the World of cultivators.
That was why this explosive power was even more terrifying than the God-Powered Cannon!
With this powerful explosion, there was no chance for the elder of Jade Sword Sect to shield himself from the light.
Everyone watched in horror as the old man's clothes turned powdery and then dissipated in the light's beam. Soon after, his skin began to crack with numerous, raw wounds appearing all over his body, all gushing blood.
It didn't matter what kind of technique one fought with, there was no resisting the power of the light beam!
Whoosh!
In the end, the elder from Jade Sword Sect was sent flying. Blood gushed out of his mouth as he fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
Clang!
The six-star sword he held in his hand then fell to the ground, bent and twisted!
Everyone was silent. They stared at the scene with widened eyes and chills running down their spines!
What… what was this terrifying power?
A single blow and a Level 4 Infant Transformation Stage cultivator had been flung backwards with grave injuries.
How could this be possible?
Even ancient armored puppets weren't this powerful!
No one could stay calm now. They had all thought that there would be no suspense in this fight, but it turned out that they were only half-right!
Yes, it had been a fight without much suspense, but the loser had turned out to be the elder member of the Jade Sword Sect!
"You didn't even know how to block, yet you still wanted to kill me?" sneered Xu Que. He directed Bumblebee's leg to take a step forward, and aimed the cannon on its arm towards the elder on the ground.
A surge of energy engulfed his body.
On the system's interface, his Acting Tough Points once again increased. The total value now exceeded 18,000 points!
"Ow!"
The husky suddenly barked in excitement. Its face had an imposing and dignified expression and it turned into a ghostly shadow and charged towards the elder on the ground.
"You old fart, get up and fight with me! Acha!" Er Ha shouted, then leaped into the air and kicked the elder's chest with his leg.
"Stop!"
The Jade Sword Sect's disciples watched in horror.
"Stop it now, buttface!" shouted Xu Que with explosive anger. But he was too late.
The husky had planted his foot firmly on the elder's chest—with a bam, the elder's ribcage began to crack. Blood spurted from his mouth. He was dead on the spot!
The Jade Sword Sect people screamed and wailed in fury!
Xu Que was mad himself. He raised the cannon and aimed it at Er Ha. "Son of a bitch! You filthy dog! You took away my target! You robbed me of my One Million Experience Points!"
Boom!
Immediately there was a loud explosion from the cannon and another light beam appeared.
Er Ha's fur stood on end as he was stunned by the loud cannon. He swiftly dodged the attack and shouted, "what the fuck are you doing? I can kill whoever I want! It's none of your business!"
"Fuck you, that was my target!" roared Xu Que. The robotic arm moved once more and aimed at Er Ha again. He shot another cannonball at him!
Er Ha's reaction was quick, though, so he dodged the attack easily.
But what was terrible was that the husky liked to run into areas where the crowd was dense with people—so every time Xu Que fired a shot, he would hit some poor bystanders who would instantly turn to ash!
And thus, the situation descended into pure chaos.
"Let's get out of here! We'll escape whilst both of them are fighting!"
"We can't win this battle now. The bastard's armor is too strange and terrifying. We must get help from someone stronger!"
"We're close to the Imperial City. We should ask for the Golden King's help."
"An elder and the Legendary Swordsman both died by his hands. Jade Sword Sect will never let him go. There's no point staying here now!"
"Holy shit, don't come over, buttface! The fucker is trying to kill you, why don't you go fight him instead of running?" said someone who saw the husky running in their direction.
"You have no right to call me buttface! I'm a wolf! You idiots should die!"
The husky then chased after those people while Xu Que aimed the cannon at him. Husky dodged the cannon, but the group of people inadvertently ended up as Xu Que's cannon fodder.
Still, Xu Que had won something in this battle.
He had earned 1000 Acting Tough Points, and although he had lost the Experience Points when Er Ha killed the elder, he had gained some more from killing an Original Infant Stage cultivator in the crowd as he was chasing after Er Ha.
The other elders from various sects and schools who were also in the Infant Transformation Stage had long left the scene, though.
Well, who could blame them for running, when even the elder of Jade Sword Sect had been killed within seconds?
Once they had reached the levels they were at now, they had naturally begun to value their lives very much. They would certainly refuse to die by the hands of a mere Original Infant Stage cultivator!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Xu Que's cannon had turned the area outside the Sword Catacomb into a wasteland full of blackened pits.
"Ah…."
"Help…"
The cultivators all hugged their skulls and scattered in fear. Occasionally, their screams could be heard.
Everyone was hiding from Er Ha as if they were hiding from a terrifying god. But every time anyone was hit by Xu Que's attack, they found themselves dead on the spot.
Some cultivators observed the scene from afar. Their faces were pale and they trembled in fear as calamity unfolded before their eyes.
The people of Spirit Treasures Pavilion and God Treasures Pavilion watched as the divine chariot teams that they had previously arranged were blown to bits by the cannon, until only fragments were left. They felt as if their hearts had been pierced through by a dagger.
It was truly a disaster!
The two young women who had met Xu Que before were also watching from afar. Their eyes were filled with terror.
"How… how could that guy be so cruel?"
"He's so terrifying! I can't believe we once argued with him before. It makes me shudder just thinking about it!"
"We must rush to the Imperial City and tell the princess to report this incident to the Golden King!"
"Let's go!"
The two clenched their teeth as they made up their minds. They turned around and left for the Imperial City straight away!
At the same time, Xu Que was still chasing after Er Ha. He was determined to teach this filthy dog a harsh lesson for robbing him of his one million Experience Points!
How shameless of him! How could he just kill someone else's target?
"You're finished, buttface!" said Xu Que as he kept on firing the cannon.
But after dodging Xu Que's attacks several times, the husky turned bold and confident. He laughed and boasted, "come on, kid, do you want to hit me? Go ahead and try! I'm as fast as the wind, so you can't touch me!"
"I can't touch you, huh?" sneered Xu Que. He then lifted the other robotic arm.
Clang! Whoosh!
The robotic arm then took the form of a machine gun!
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat...
The machine gun fired relentlessly. The gun seemed to have grown a fiery tongue where the metal element Spiritual Qi condensed and became bullets that then shot through the air.
"Ow, ow, ow!" yelled Er Ha before he bolted off at top speed!
But this time, he couldn't escape the bullets that rained down from the robotic arm. The bullets struck his skin, triggering loud howling from the dog.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow! Aaaaah! That hurts! Stop it, you bastard! If you want to fight then come out and fight with me like a man, don't use this cowardly technique! Ow! That hurts!"
The husky ran all around the place, wailing and howling in pain at the top of his lungs, even though he was obviously uninjured!
Xu Que had no plans to stop. He opened fire with both robotic arms now and yelled, "go ahead, dodge my attacks! Dodge all you like, you son of a bitch!"
