Over a dozen figures appeared when the earth-shaking sound happened. With grandeur momentum, they overlooked everything from the sky with their hands behind their backs.

　　Everyone was totally dumbfounded and their eyes were full of disbelief.

　　What’s going on?

　　The Exploding Heavens Faction is really ubiquitous!

　　How can he easily summon so many powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage? Also, these powerhouses are at Level 9 of the Infant Transformation Stage!

　　This is way too outrageous!

　　The powerhouses who surrounded Xu Que were also shocked.

　　However, they soon calmed down. After all, they also had over twenty powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage. Maybe their powerhouses at Level 9 of the Infant Transformation Stage were outnumbered by Xu Que’s reinforcements, but they had quite a few powerhouses at other levels of the Infant Transformation Stage. The winning side would still be determined by the real combat!

　　“What a powerful Exploding Heavens Faction! It seems you’re quite special,” a powerhouse at the Infant Transformation Stage of the Carefree Building sneered sarcastically. “Otherwise, they wouldn’t send so many people to protect you after the Self-destruction of your Cultivation!” They couldn’t imagine summoning so many experts from the Exploding Heavens Faction. The identity of Xu Que must be very special if so many people had been sent to secretly protect him.

　　“Hmph! You’re really shameless! You said you don’t want to kill people anymore. I guess you killed those sent to kill you before though, right?” The Jiang Family’s powerhouse at the Infant Transformation Stage spoke angrily, for he’d realized the truth!

　　This realization dawned on everyone else. No wonder this guy could stay intact while those who were sent to kill him disappeared inexplicably. He was being secretly protected by experts.

　　Damn! He’s too insidious!

　　He said he was ashamed of his ferocious killing behavior and almost convinced us. None of us expected the truth to be this!

　　We’ve never seen such a shameless person!

　　Some disbanded cultivators planning to attack Xu Que hid the fact that they broke into cold sweat hearing this information. Luckily they hadn’t carried out their plans; otherwise, they would have been among those MIAs.

　　“Alas!” Xu Que sighed. “I’ve told you so many times: After the Self-Destruction of my Cultivation, I stopped killing others. I am really tired of this kind of life. Why can’t you allow me to be an ordinary person who lives in peace?”

　　Hearing his words, those people almost went crazy with anger!

　　An ordinary person?

　　What ordinary person would be protected by over a dozen powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage in secret?

　　However, Xu Que didn’t kill a person. After all, his real body didn’t have any cultivation left, so he couldn’t kill others that even he planned to kill sometimes!

　　His Taoist Body could be equated to another Xu Que, one who had all his cultivation and magic arts before the self-destruction of his cultivation. His Taoist Body could even summon the Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders. In this way, his real body was under the protection of two Xu Que at the Infant Transformation Stage.

　　As for those replications, they had been created by an ordinary replication art. They appeared to be quite powerful but were really just paper tigers, which could be seen through in real combat!

　　Even so, a real Taoist Body could easily defeat any opponent at the same cultivation stage. Those who were sent to kill Xu Que had been killed by the Taoist Body.

　　Also, Xu Que was pleasantly surprised to find that people killed by the Taoist Body didn’t trigger the Terrifying Spiritual Qi in his real body. All Terrifying Spiritual Qi was absorbed by the Taoist Body and wouldn’t cause any influence on his real body!

　　Also because of this, Xu Que decided to show up confidently. Anyway, no matter how many people the Taoist Body killed, his real body wouldn’t be endangered. Therefore, it was unnecessary to keep hiding in the mountain!

　　“Hm! I really underestimated your Exploding Heavens Faction, which can send so many experts to protect you!” a young man at the Original Infant Stage of the Jiang Family snorted. “However, don’t count your chickens before they hatch! If the Elders at the Void Training Stage of my family were here, you would be taken down no matter how many experts are protecting you!”

　　The powerhouses of the other big families and sects also stared at Xu Que coldly with murderous looks on their faces!

　　They believed the reasons Xu Que could be protected by so many powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage were his high status in the Exploding Heavens Faction and his powerful strength, which could be well matched with cultivators at the Void Training Stage.

　　But the status and strength of these protectors must have been low. Otherwise, how did they become protectors of others?

　　Therefore, they believed that once the powerhouses at the Void Training Stage of their families or sects were here, Xu Que would definitely be taken down—even he had over a dozen protectors at the Infant Transformation Stage!

　　Xu Que smiled and his eyes were filled with chilly, intimidating rays.”Alas! This is so melancholy! Since you can’t kill me, why did you come here and disturb my life? How about this? From now on, those whose cultivation stage is lower than the Void Training Stage shouldn’t try hunting me, for they can only bring disgrace on themselves. Okay?”

　　Whoosh!

　　The entire area fell silent.

　　Many onlooking disbanded cultivators’ eyes widened because of the terror in their hearts.

　　“Has he … really become an ordinary person after the self-destruction of his cultivation? Why is his momentum stronger than ours?” a disbanded cultivator at the Original Infant Stage asked in terror.

　　“This is impossible! How could an ordinary person have such powerful momentum?” The other onlookers were also terrified and thought this was unnatural.

　　The powerhouses encircling Xu Que were also in a dilemma.

　　All of them wanted to kill Xu Que. However, faced with so many of Xu Que’s protectors, they hesitated.

　　Moreover, they knew Xu Que had spells which could teleport him away instantly. If both sides suffered great loss during combat, Xu Que could ignite the spell to escape, and all their efforts would be in vain.

　　After a moment of silence, powerhouses of the Jiang Family and the Gong Family stepped out and said coldly, “You, we will let you go this time! When the Elders of our families come back, your death will be imminent!”

　　Powerhouses of the Carefree Building glared at Xu Que. “We’ll let you live several days longer!”

　　Representatives of the big families and sects expressed their opinions. The rest of the crowd knew that it was over for today, so they stepped back immediately and didn’t dare get in Xu Que’s way anymore!

　　However, just at this moment, Xu Que raised his eyebrows and calmly said, “Do you think you can just leave like this after standing in my way? Although I am an ordinary person, I can’t accept being bullied by you like that! You can’t just show up and leave at will. You should show your due respect to an ordinary person!” Xu Que became excited as he spoke.

　　The onlookers were dumbfounded.

　　It’s truly unbelievable for an ordinary person to want due respect in front of so many powerhouses at the Infant Transformation Stage!

　　He is definitely going to cause more trouble!

　　“Heh, Xu Que, do you really think we are afraid of you?” Hearing his words, the powerhouses of the big families and sects were instantly annoyed.

　　Originally, they planned to step back and let Xu Que go temporarily. They hadn’t expected him to be so stubborn and shameless.

　　“If you want a fight, we’ll give you a good fight! Let’s see who the victim will be in the end!” the young genius of the Carefree Building said coldly.

　　“Okay!” Xu Que replied with a faint smile, then he changed it up again. “However, it’s unfair to bully you with so many people. I’ll pick one to play with you!”

　　After saying that, Xu Que pointed at his Taoist Body beside him before the onlookers had time to react; then, he said with a smile, “Li Xiaoyao, I choose you this time. Among them, you are the weakest one. You should take this opportunity to polish your skills by fighting against all of them!”
