Hearing what Xu Que had just said, all the people present were shocked and took a deep breath.

　　Every word he had said was a taboo for the cultivators of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe.

　　What is wrong with him?! He clearly knows the figure he is facing is the head of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe and is also in the six levels of the Form Synthesis Stage. Even so, he still dares to talk like this?!

　　“You impetuous bastard! Kneel down now!”

　　A loud noise came from a mountain that was not far away. All of a sudden, the entire sky was covered by an enormous shadow. A huge shadow of an ox head gradually became clearer and clearer. It looked like an Ancient Divine Ox and was approaching.

　　Bang!

　　Many of the cultivators were hit by the power, and they all knelt down onto the ground. They felt like someone had punched their chests, and their faces became rather pale. They were all stunned by how powerful it was.

　　The Patriarch of the Form Synthesis Stage managed to make these cultivators kneel down without even moving his finger. However, Xu Que was still fine; it seemed that he had not been hit at all. He was surrounded by a ball of Qi, which was rather calm and tranquil. The Qi did not seem very special, but it was strong enough. Everything it touched instantly calmed down. With the help of the Qi, Xu Que miraculously withstood the power of the Patriarch of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe. Liu Jingning was standing next to Xu Que, and was also intact.

　　“Is this his Taoist Connotation?” The Patriarch, at the top of the mountain, opened his eyes wide.

　　Hearing his voice, all the cultivators present were shocked.

　　“What is going on? As far as I am know, Xu Que has not got any Taoist Connotation! Can it be possible that he really manages to work out his own Taoist Connotation. Is that why he steps into the Void Training Stage? If he really has his own Taoist Connotation, why can’t I feel its intensity? Instead, it seems very weak.”

　　After all, no one had ever had the same Taoist Connotation as Xu Que did. As for the definition of his Taoist Connotation, it is that one is to speak for himself. This meant that he would always be true to himself and seek the calmness of his own mind. Therefore, his Taoist Connotation was a “weak” one, though, in fact, it was extremely powerful.

　　There was a saying about this, which was to pretend to be a pig to prey on a tiger. Judging by Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation, people might think he was a pig, but in fact he was a dragon that could devour a pig.

　　…

　　“This can’t be possible!” The Patriarch frowned and shook his head. “There can’t be a Taoist Connotation such as this in the world. No one could live while always contradicting the world! Tell me, young man, what is the incantation you have used?”

　　Incantation? Hearing this, the cultivators figured out what was really going on.

　　In this world, no one except Xu Que could withstand the power of the Patriarchs of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe. After all, every cultivator knew each other’s strength, in particular the strong ones. They had already seen Xu Que’s strength with their own eyes. Now that Xu Que was already in the Void Training Stage, it made sense that he could withstand the power of a cultivator of the Form Synthesis Stage.

　　Xu Que could feel the Patriarch’s jealousy.

　　Obviously, the Patriarch knew Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation was a powerful one, but he believed that it was against the world’s rule, so he would rather make himself believe that Xu Que was practicing some sort of incantation.

　　Xu Que smiled. “Well, since you already asked, I would be very willing to tell you. It is the ultimate trick of the Exploding Heavens Faction, which is called the Act-Tough Qi!”

　　What?! The Act-Tough Qi?

　　Everyone was stunned, including the Patriarch.

　　Liu Jingning was shocked, although she knew clearly this was exactly Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation. She still could not believe such a Taoist Connotation that went against the world could really exist. Besides, she never thought Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation was already strong enough to withstand the power of a cultivator of the Form Synthesis Stage.

　　If he really has grown strong enough, then I don’t think there is any need for me to worry about him any more. As long as he still has the strength to fight back, he would have time to run away by using the Divine Tracking Emblem.

　　Thinking of this, Liu Jingning finally was relieved.

　　At the same time, the Patriarch who was sitting at the top of the mountain had already run out of patience. He had been called a calf by Xu Que many times and now he was furious.

　　“You bastard, this world is much, much bigger than you thought. Even if you are very powerful, you are still nothing when you are standing in front of me! I will show you how powerful I am!”

　　The Patriarch’s voice was so loud that it echoed in the air off the mountains.

　　He quickly stood up with the two horns on his head shining brightly.

　　Bang!

　　The Patriarch waved his hand, and the next minute the sky collapsed. His two horns were shining white and absorbing the Spiritual Qi from all around. Then he directed all the Spiritual Qi to the shadow of the ox in the air. All of a sudden, the shadow got more and more clear, as if a real Ancient Ox Beast were coming down to this world.

　　This all happened in just a few seconds.

　　Seeing this, everyone present was shocked and terrified.

　　“My goodness! I have seen this before. It is only ever practiced by a Holy Son of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe. Its power is beyond my imagination! Usually, it would take quite a long time to practice this incantation, while for this Patriarch, it just takes a few seconds!”

　　“This incantation destroys a cultivator’s Taoist Connotation and his Holy Soul…”

　　“Xu Que is doomed this time!”

　　…

　　“Kill!” The Patriarch shouted aloud.

　　Suddenly, the shadow of the ox roared, and its body began to change quickly into a long black spear. Then it began to fly toward Xu Que.

　　“His Taoist Connotation has taken an actual form! Xu Que, it’s very dangerous!” Liu Jingning was so surprised that she hurriedly reached out her hand to push Xu Que away.

　　I have underestimated the Patriarch. I thought he would not use such a powerful incantation. If Xu Que is hit by it, he will definitely die!

　　“I have to admit that this is quite impressive!” Xu Que laughed.

　　Your Taoist Connotation has taken an actual form? So, you think you are quite something, right? Once I practice my King of Tough-Acting Fist, you will see who is the boss here!

　　“System, I want to buy the King of Tough-Acting Fist, three of them!”

　　The King of Tough-Acting Fist was worth about 2,000 Acting Tough Points. Because Xu Que had won 8,000 Acting Tough Points simply because he quarrelled with the Patriarchs, he did not think there was any need for him to be frugal.

　　Three incantations of the King of Tough-Acting Fist would cost me about 6,000 Acting Tough Points in total. I will have another 2,000 Acting Tough Points left.

　　Then, Xu Que secretly activated the Killer Book and the Killer Sword.

　　Although the King of Tough-Acting Fist was already quite enough to fight against the Patriarch, he thought it might be necessary to enhance the power of the King of Tough-Acting Fist by 30 times with the help of the Killer Book and the Killer Sword.

　　Xu Que stared at the top of the mountain and sneered. “You calf! I will punch right at your head!”

　　Then he quickly flew toward the top of the mountain, just like a flying arrow.

　　“What?!”

　　“He dares to initiate an attack on the Patriarch?!”

　　“He thinks he can beat the Patriarch with his fists? Is he insane?”

　　Many of the cultivators were surprised by Xu Que.

　　Even the Patriarch himself was amazed by Xu Que’s impulsiveness. “You are such an ignorant young man! How dare you attack me?”

　　The Patriarch sneered, his face full of hatred, then he flipped his fingers.

　　All of a sudden, the long black stick moved faster toward Xu Que, looking as if it was about to penetrate him.

　　In the blink of an eye, the shadow of an enormous fist appeared and landed right on the spear.

　　Bang!

　　The spear broke up into pieces.

　　The shadow of a fist did not stop but, instead, moved even faster toward the Patriarch.

　　Bang!

　　The Patriarch’s head was crushed.

　　Bang!

　　The fist smashed right into the Patriarch’s chest.

　　Then, suddenly, a headless corpse fell to the foot of the mountain where it slowly changed into a headless ox.

　　…

　　The fight was over.…

　　The result shocked everyone who was present.

　　A strong cultivator who was of the sixth level of the Form Synthesis Stage and who had slept for a few centuries had just been punched to death.

　　“How can this be possible?”

　　All the cultivators lost their minds and found their brains could no longer function.

　　Liu Jingning was so stunned that she opened her small mouth very largely, as if she had seen a ghost.

　　“What is the incantation you have just used?” Someone asked in surprise, while covering his mouth.

　　Xu Que turned around and smiled. “This is the ultimate trick of the Exploding Heavens Faction, which is called the ‘The Three Punches Of A Farmer Are Sweet’!”

　　…
