Thud!

　　The stinking smell of black exhaust covered those from the Saint Gold Sect and the Nighthawk Pavilion in an instant.

　　“D*mn it!”

　　“Sh*t! What’s that?”

　　“What’s that atrocious smell?”

　　“What, not at all! It’s quite a pleasant smell, and slightly addictive!”

　　“Hey, frankly, I’m a little addicted to the smell too.”

　　“D*mn it! Are you all crazy? Such an awful smell, and you’re addicted to it?”

　　In that unexpected situation, everyone reacted differently.

　　Some people covered their mouths and noses, some had expressions of pain, and some breathed in the exhaust and got so addicted to it that they ran after Xu Que’s bus. In the end, the huge group was divided in two, one group stayed in place, waiting for the exhaust to dissipate, and the other group dashed forward and ran after the bus.

　　“Are they crazy?”

　　“Maybe the gas was dangerous?”

　　“Indeed, there must be a poisonous element within the gas. But it didn’t affect us!”

　　“He accelerated the bus and purposefully spewed out that exhaust. He was clearly trying to get rid of us. However, his speed wasn’t taking him anywhere—we could easily catch up when the gas dissipated.”

　　“Ha, ha, that’s all right. Let’s see how they were killed by those from the Refined Moon Sect. We’ll have a chance to launch a second attack then!”

　　…..

　　At the same time, Xu Que was driving a bus, traveling at the speed of light through the passageway. Most of the people on the bus were feeling giddy and their faces were flushed. Their stomachs were churning and they felt like they were about to throw up. Even if they had been physically strong, they couldn’t endure Xu Que’s driving skills. It was not a pretty sight to see the passengers now.

　　“Ah, ah, ah! Dude, can you drive more steadily? Your Holiness’s excrement is coming out!” Buttface grasped the handrail tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs.

　　“Sir Xuanzang, please slow down!” The others on the bus shouted too.

　　“Everyone, don’t panic, we’re almost there! By the way, when I drive, I’m not Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. Please call me Mount Akina Speed Stars, Exploding Heavens Faction’s Takumi Fujiwara!” As Xu Que ended his sentence, the corners of his mouth lifted, he stepped on the accelerator harder, and jerked the steering wheel haphazardly.

　　Screech!

　　Accompanied by a sharp screeching sound, the whole bus suddenly drifted out of the passageway in a tilted position and darted straight into a hall.

　　“Ah!” Everyone in the bus exclaimed in unison.

　　But in the following second, as all of them leaned forward suddenly and got back onto their seats steadily, the bus stopped moving. The bus was surprisingly quiet. Everyone was holding on for dear life. They dared not even breathe and their faces were pale. This time, it wasn’t because of motion sickness, but because there were a dozen disciples from the Refined Moon Sect, all dressed in red robes, standing in front of them in an orderly circle; it was particularly striking.

　　Many disciples from the Leaving Leaves Sect and the Heaven Cloud Sect had their hearts in their mouths and cold shivers down their spines. Xu Que’s drifting had brought them directly to those strongest members of the Refined Moon Sect. Moreover, the bus had landed in a position that would best facilitate a group attack from the opponents! What was the difference between that and hurling yourself willingly into their net? They were sending themselves straight under their opponents’ knives.

　　“Sir Xuanzang, what…what are you doing?” A disciple from the Heaven Cloud Sect cried out.

　　“No, it’s nothing special. Everyone, calm down, let me have a friendly exchange with them!” Xu Que smiled, pulled down the window, and put his head out.

　　A dozen disciples from the Refined Moon Sect stared at the bus coldly. They had been carrying out a kind of sacrificial ceremony, and when Xu Que barged in and interrupted them, it almost spoiled everything. At that moment, a dozen murderous auras shot toward Xu Que.

　　Xu Que, however, put on his usual smiley face as he squinted and greeted the disciples from the Refined Moon Sect, “Hey, guys! What’s up? I’m from the Exploding Heavens Faction. We are the allies of righteousness. Please give way, we’re just passing by.”

　　“..…” The dozen disciples from the Refined Moon Sect kept their mouths tightly shut and no one responded. Their eyes were filled with coldness while they stared at Xu Que with murderous auras.

　　That situation immediately caused most people on the bus to feel a little uneasy. The mysterious nature and formidable strength of the Refined Moon Sect were well-known! On the Taijin Continent, everyone kept a safe distance from the sect. It was just like when mortals on Earth bumped into ghosts—they dared not resist and all they really wanted was to avoid them.

　　Thud!

　　Suddenly, Xu Que sat back onto his driver’s seat and closed the window. He turned his head and said to the passengers, “Okay, I’ve already greeted them, everyone stay seated, and we’re going forward!”

　　“Ah?” Everyone in the bus was baffled.

　　What was going on?

　　What kind of greeting was that?

　　The other side didn’t even respond!

　　He was setting off?

　　Vroom! Vroom!

　　Xu Que started the engine immediately, the engine roared, the wheels moved, and the bus moved forward in an instant.

　　“Kill!” Almost at the same time, an order was bellowed by a leader of the Refined Moon Sect. The dozen disciples from the Refined Moon Sect immediately joined hands and they glowed red. Terrifying Blood Qi was condensed in their hands and directly bombarded the bus.

　　“Ah!”

　　“Sh*t!”

　　“We’re dead!”

　　Suddenly, the disciples from the Leaving Leaves Sect and the Heaven Cloud Sect were howling in grief, the blood drained from their faces. That Terrifying Blood Qi from the Refined Moon Sect was exactly the same as the red light blooming outside the Refined Moon Palace. It made people feel severely depressed and suffocated. Prior to any battle, their opponents’ confidence would have reduced by half from its effects. Watching the Terrifying Blood Qi coming over, those on the bus felt their hands and fingers go numb and tingling and they even forgot to retaliate.

　　But then a bizarre scene occurred: Xu Que didn’t hesitate to step on the accelerator, steer the steering wheel to have full control over the bus, and the bus moved agilely as it avoided all the Terrifying Blood Qi which was bolting over.

　　Boom!

　　Boom!

　　Boom!

　　Under the roaring sound of the bus engine, the heavy bus seemed to be as agile as a cat; the bus was constantly brushing past all the Terrifying Blood Qi. In barely a moment, the bus emerged from the Terrifying Blood Qi without any scratches.

　　Woof! “Boy that was smooth!” Buttface blurted out in surprise.

　　After a few moments of bewilderment, those on the bus finally expressed their happiness. It was hard to believe, but incredibly Xu Que could drive the bus, which looked like scrap metal, that skillfully.

　　“What?” The leaders and disciples from the Refined Moon Sect were shocked by the situation. They hadn’t expected that that heavy piece of scrap metal could be so agile especially when it was carrying passengers.

　　During the slight pause of their confrontation, the bus had driven out of their encirclement. A dozen disciples from the Refined Moon Sect discovered their movements, and they turned their heads to look at the leader of the Refined Moon Sect.

　　The leader of the Refined Moon Sect frowned and ordered, “Ten of you chase after them and the rest of you stay. The entrance to the Sacred Grounds is opening, let’s ensure that there’s no interruption!”

　　“Yes!”

　　Immediately, ten of them dressed in red robes darted out, carrying a large amount of Terrifying Blood Qi, and went after Xu Que’s bus.

　　“Humph, how dare you chase me?” Xu Que looked in the rearview mirror and snorted coldly. His foot stepped on the accelerator again.

　　Everyone in the bus who saw the situation had their hearts in their mouths again. One after another, they grasped tightly onto the handrail!

　　“Come on, dude! Don’t be impulsive! It’s just ten of them. Don’t panic. Let’s drive steadily!” Buttface screamed in shock.

　　Xu Que immediately waved his hand, “Don’t tell me to drive steadily. I always drive without looking at the road, savagely! Step on the accelerator and steer the steering wheel! This group of people dares to chase my bus—that’s equivalent to death. Do they really think that the Act-Tough Saint’s bus is merely scrap metal?”

　　At the end of that sentence, Xu Que turned the steering wheel quickly and stepped on the brake!

　　Creak!

　　With an ear-piercing screeching sound, the whole bus drifted for a second, then changed its direction and rushed head-on into the ten disciples from the Refined Moon Sect!
