  Boom!

  Boom!

  Boom!

  In the sky, Xu Que’s Firestorm Wheels created a lot of noise and were really quite deafening! However, the noises were much slower than the Firestorm Wheels. At this moment, the noises could be heard on this side. But Xu Que would appear on the other side. Therefore, it was impossible to track Xu Que through the noise. The powerhouses at the Half-Celestial Realm failed to find Xu Que even after using all their Soul Strength!

  Swash!

  Along with a crisp sound, a man who was protected by protective Spiritual Qi was cut in half and died immediately.

  The broken sword was way too horrible!

  As the Sword Spirit said, cultivators whose cultivation stage was lower than the Human Celestial Realm could be killed by one sword instantly, even when they were protected by protective magic arts!

  Gasp! Another…Celestial was killed!

  The other people in the area looked up and gasped in terror. Those Celestials who were so mighty and invincible in the Four Great Continents were being chased by the Faction Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction! This was so amazing and extraordinary!

  “Hey! Don’t run! This is so boring! You can’t escape from me. But you can try to escape in different directions. It is quite difficult for me to catch up with you!” Xu Que complained.

  Although he was faster now, he was still not as fast as a powerhouse at the Earth Celestial Realm which was mentioned in the description of the Firestorm Wheels. After all, he was just at the Crossing Calamity Stage and didn’t have enough True Core Strength to feed his Celestial Artifacts!

  Even if he had acquired the Ancient Five Elemental Arts, which bestowed him a lot of True Core Strength, he still had to activate the Automatic Recovery Function of the System to supply True Core Strength to the Firestorm Wheels. But he was not able to realize the full strength of the Firestorm Wheels even in this way. He guessed he could realize 50 percent of the Firestorm Wheels’ full speed at most!

  Therefore, he was just a little bit faster than those powerhouses at the Half-Celestial Realm. In other words, he was just as fast as a cultivator at the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Realm. So, it was quite difficult for him to kill those people in a short time! They were running in all different directions. If Xu Que chased one of them, the rest would escape. One or two of them might run back to inform their academy. Then he would have to confront dozens of cultivators at the Half-Celestial Realm or even the powerhouses at the Human Celestial Realm!

  This was not the situation wanted by Xu Que. When he had to confront a lot of powerful enemies, he didn’t want to take any risks. Also, he didn’t want to kill his enemies immediately for it would waste a lot of opportunities to act tough!

  Now, he was badly in need of Acting Tough Points. Therefore, Xu Que tried to treat those Celestials who had descended on the Four Great Continents as a flock of sheep. He would kill them one by one, so that he could maximize his Acting Tough Points with minimum risks!

  So, after killing two powerhouses at the Half-Celestial Realm, Xu Que changed his plan. He started to fly around the rest of the Celestials to reduce the scope where they could escape!

  “Don’t run away! What you are doing now is so boring!” Xu Que shouted again as he continued to fly around them to stop them from escaping in different directions! Those young men and women didn’t know what to do.

  On the one hand, they were slower than Xu Que; on the other hand, they didn’t dare to stay close to Xu Que. So, they had to run desperately like headless chickens!

  “Xu Que, if you dare to kill us, the Ivy Academy will never let you go!”

  “Our Masters at the Human Celestial Realm are very close to the South Continent. You’d better not do anything reckless!” These young men and women shouted loudly. They knew their life was endangered, for Xu Que had started to reduce the ring of encirclement.

  Once the surrounding circle was small enough, all of them would be killed by that broken sword!

  “I didn’t do anything reckless! Now, I am fighting with my back at the wall! I am outnumbered by you! What else do you want from me?” Xu Que shouted severely as he kept reducing the ring of encirclement by flying around those people crazily.

  The young men and women from the Ivy Academy darkened their faces.

  You are outnumbered?

  You are fighting with your back to the wall?

  F*ck! How could you say that?

  You are fighting with two Celestial Artifacts. Even if we have dozens of cultivators at the Half-Celestial Realm here, all of us will be killed by you at last!

  “What? Wait! This is not correct!” Suddenly, a man’s eyes lit up as if an idea had occurred to him.

  He turned to his companions and shouted, “Our plan is wrong! This guy is just at the Crossing Calamity Stage, no matter how lethal he is!”

  “We know that!” His companions shouted.

  The man took out a long halberd and said by shaking his head, “We were intimidated by his momentum. This guy is just at the Crossing Calamity Stage. But he is too fast! We can just run away! We should attack as a means of defense!”

  “What?”

  His words dawned on his companions immediately.

  When the handsome man and the one who was protected by protective Spiritual Qi were cut in half, they were totally terrified and escaped directly without considering the counterattack!

  Now, this man reminded them. Anyway, Xu Que was just at the Crossing Calamity Stage, which was quite fragile. Even they couldn’t track Xu Que in the sky, they could keep Xu Que from approaching them as long as they kept using magic arts around them.

  “Humph! Let’s attack!”

  Then they shouted and launched a counterattack.

  One of them waved his long halberd to turn the Spiritual Qi around him into a shiny protective shell.

  Another one wrapped himself in a sea of fire as he dashed forward.

  …..

  In this way, they managed to push Xu Que back. Although they couldn’t track Xu Que in the sky, their close combat magic arts at the Half-Celestial Realm could keep Xu Que away from them effectively.

  Xu Que could kill them with one sword. Also, they could kill Xu Que with one move. In this way, Xu Que’s fast attack was useless. After all, the broken sword was too short!

  “D*mn! Sword Spirit, why can’t you be any longer? You would be more effective if you were just a bit longer!” Xu Que was quite anxious for he didn’t expect his only defect had been found by his opponents!

  Now, the ring of encirclement had become larger and larger. After a short while, he wouldn’t be able to surround them at all. He could kill one or two of them at most. The rest of them would definitely run away!

  “Humph! How ignorant you are! Have you seen a sword that long?” The Sword Spirit snorted immediately. After all, it was still quite proud of its experience of following the Immortal Emperor before!

  Xu Que was annoyed immediately. He said, “I’ve seen a sword more than 300 yards long. When I crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, the sword formed by the golden lightning was over 300 yards long!”

  “OK, you could find a sword at the level of the Celestial Artifact which was three yards long for me!” The Sword Spirit replied coldly.

  Xu Que was speechless. It was quite difficult to find a sword three yards long at the level of a Celestial Artifact! Maybe a Celestial Artifact like that hadn’t been forged by anyone yet!

  “Humph! This is so annoying! It seems I should learn the skill of equipment forging!” Xu Que said bitterly.

  Boom!

  At this time, the man who used the long halberd had escaped from Xu Que’s ring of encirclement when Xu Que was pushed back by his halberd!

  “Hah, hah, Xu Que, it’s over! When the Ivy Academy sends reinforcement here, you will die!” The man said with a cold smile. He believed Xu Que didn’t dare to chase him for the rest of his teammates would escape.

  “Heh, heh, you can never intimidate me! No matter how many people your academy sends here, I’ll kill them all!” Xu Que said with a cold smile. However, his heart was unwilling to fight all those people!

  If he had been powerful enough, he could have killed all those people by giving a full play of the Firestorm Wheels.

  “Humph! How arrogant you are! If you are not a coward, just kill me! It is a pity that you are alone here and can’t kill all of us at the same time! So, just save your tough words!” After running for a bit, the man with the long halberd stopped. He said as he looked at Xu Que with a sarcastic smile, “I will be right here waiting for you! If you are not a coward, just come here and kill me!”

  At such a distance, he was confident he could run away before Xu Que dashed toward him. In this way, he could ensure his safety and also rescue his teammates!

  However, his words dawned on Xu Que immediately!

  I am alone here?

  No, I can use my replica!

  “Ha, ha, ha, little dumbass, thank you for reminding me! I almost forget I am not alone here!” Xu Que laughed wildly.

  The next moment, he summoned the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders directly.

  Boom!

  A large cloud of Spiritual Qi in the sky gathered. Then magnificent lightning gushed out from Xu Que’s body and started to intertwine with the Spiritual Qi. Then a replica which looked exactly like Xu Que appeared!

  “Wh…at?” The young men and women from the Ivy Academy were dumbfounded.

  The magic arts of summoning a replica were quite common in the World of Near Celestial! However, Xu Que’s replica also waved the broken sword as it stepped on the Firestorm Wheels, which didn’t make sense! This was a replica with identical Celestial Artifacts! How could they win this combat?

  Whoosh!

  Instantly, the Thunder Illusion Body started to fly around the rest of the people of the Ivy Academy along Xu Que’s ring of encirclement. At this time, Xu Que’s real body had already disappeared!

  “Oh, no!” The man with the long halberd sensed danger! He was stunned by Xu Que’s replica and forgot to escape immediately. Now he had missed the best time to escape!

  “Heh, heh, here I am! Why are you running away?” Xu Que’s voice rang out in the ears of the man with the long halberd!

  “Wait!” The man with the long halberd turned pale immediately. He waved the long halberd as he patted his chest. Then he spat out a strand of blood mist, which meant he had tried to escape with the Blood Escape Art!

  Now, he was almost as fast as Xu Que’s Firestorm Wheels!

  Clang!

  When the man started to run, his long halberd stopped the broken sword from slashing into his body, which created many sparkles behind him. However, the broken sword managed to stab into the man’s body at last. The man was quite excited because the sword only went into his body a tiny bit and didn’t wound his vital organs!

  “Hah, hah, hah, Xu Que, you failed! Your sword is too short!” The man with the long halberd laughed. Then he spat blood mist and tried to escape with the Blood Escape Art again! Although he would lose a lot of cultivation achievements and life span in this way, he knew they were nothing in front of death!

  Swash! Soon, along with a crisp sound, the smile was frozen on the man’s face! The broken sword, which had been stabbed into his back, pierced his body completely.

  Almost at the same time, Xu Que’s cold smile came again! “Heh, heh, although I am short, I can rotate! Now, die!”
