Chapter 887: I Dare You To Hit Me!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hmph! Trying to leave after offending us?”
The elder of the Heavenly Human Tribe scoffed and his face filled with disdain. He then released an overwhelming volume of pressure. Almost at the same time, the dozens of Heavenly Human ancestors who had awakened began to encircle them menacingly.
They were cultivating when Xu Que had caused such a huge commotion. Now that he had woken them up from their practice, the only thing in their chests was a ball of fury. All they wanted was to kill someone to vent their anger, even if it meant bullying the weak or outnumbering their opponents!
Boom!
Within seconds, the dozens of powerhouses at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage all unleashed enormous pressure that blasted the seas and the clouds. The continents shook as the thunderous winds howled, causing the whole valley to tremble.
“c.r.a.p, these old geezers just won’t die!”
Xu Que realized that the situation was worse than he had thought. He stopped hiding his cards and immediately retrieved an Escape Emblem, taking Jiang Hongyan and b.u.t.tface away from that place!
Swoos.h.!.+ The trio reappeared five miles away.
“Eh? It worked!” Xu Que was elated. Thankfully, this place didn’t restrict the use of the Escape Emblem. In that case, he would definitely save those three precious High-Cla.s.s Escape Emblems – he no longer had to worry about not having enough Escape Emblems to get out of dangerous situations! While he was unable to afford a High-Cla.s.s Escape Emblem right now, he had as many regular Escape Emblems as he wanted!
“Ha, ha! Those old geezers dared to bully us just because there were more of them! Behold, this Act-Tough Saint shall play you to the death!” Xu Que laughed and directly landed on the ground, letting go of Jiang Hongyan and b.u.t.tface.
Immediately after, he waved his hand and redeemed tens of thousands of Escape Emblems from the System store. It was a huge purchase, but Xu Que was more than generous. It was just a drop in the ocean as compared to the more than 1 million Acting Tough Points he currently had!
Now that the s.p.a.ce-Breaking Spell was in his hands, he could return to Earth as soon as he found where the precise location was to use it. There was no need to wreck his brains over upgrading the System anymore. Therefore, the only thing he had to worry about was on how to finish spending all those Acting Tough Points in his account!
“Come on, Little Miss, b.u.t.tface, take 5,000 pieces each and have fun to your heart’s content with those old geezers!” Xu Que split the 10,000 pieces of Escape Emblems into two piles and issued them to both Jiang Hongyan and b.u.t.tface.
While he did say that each of them would get 5,000 pieces, Xu Que did not count them at all. He merely split them into two unequal halves.
The bigger pile went to Jiang Hongyan of course, and the smaller went to b.u.t.tface.
b.u.t.tface scowled at once and demanded, “c.r.a.p, can you be any more blatant in your favoritism? Look at how small my pile of Escape Emblems is, and you dare to say that you have given me 5,000 pieces?”
“Give me a break! Are you silly, b.u.t.tface? This situation is so critical, and you want to be picky about this? It’s just a few pieces less, so what? You need to be more gracious and stop counting every little gain or loss!” Xu Que said with a heavy heart.
b.u.t.tface almost vomited blood. Raising the handful of Escape Emblems, anybody could see that b.u.t.tface only had several dozen. He questioned Xu Que as indignation filled his face, “Lad, you call this a few pieces less? Screw you, open your eyes wide and see; you gave me thousands of emblems less! How do you expect me to be gracious? How to not mind my gains and losses?”
“Don’t sweat the details. I just split the pile offhandedly according to what I felt. I guess that my sense of touch isn’t that accurate today, and I accidentally split the emblems unequally!” Xu Que looked at b.u.t.tface righteously as he lied through his teeth.
b.u.t.tface instantly rushed up and swung his fists around, trying to scratch Xu Que. He growled, “c.r.a.p, you chose beauty over b.u.t.tface! I have gone through life and death, thick and thin with you, but you won’t give me even 100 emblems! Not even 100!”
“c.r.a.p, you’re getting ahead of yourself! They can’t defeat you anyway and will most probably be too lazy even to find you annoying! What use do you have to for that many Escape Emblems? Go off to one side and play by yourself!” Xu Que pushed b.u.t.tface to the side and stepped onto the lightning bolt, ready to face the powerhouses at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage.
If they fought them head on, they would lose for sure; however, with the Escape Emblems, it was another thing altogether. The Heavenly Humans would be beaten up so badly that they would wonder what the h.e.l.l was going on!
Arwoof! “Stand there, young lad. I will fight you to the death!” b.u.t.tface chased after Xu Que angrily.
Jiang Hongyan was amused. She shook her head slightly and said, “Quit fooling around, b.u.t.tface. I’ll give you some of my emblems!”
“Ah! Holy Senior, you’re too kind, Holy Senior! But please take these emblems back. I won’t need that many anyway!” b.u.t.tface immediately changed his stance when Jiang Hongyan spoke up. The pandering look on his face made him look like an all-words-but-no-action official.
His response surprised Jiang Hongyan. Stunned, she asked, “Are you sure that you don’t need any more emblems?”
“No, I’m fine!” b.u.t.tface said determinedly.
Only then did Jiang Hongyan put away her emblems and nod.
“b.u.t.tface, a nice display of shamelessness there!” Xu Que laughed at him. He had known b.u.t.tface long enough to understand his character – he knew that he was in no danger and would not need this many Escape Emblems, but couldn’t resist being a cheapskate, that’s all.
However, b.u.t.tface was quite afraid of Jiang Hongyan and dared not cause trouble in front of her. He indeed did not dare to accept a single Escape Emblem from her, which made Xu Que chuckle.
“Pooh! I’m just honest with my feelings! The truly shameless one is you!” b.u.t.tface retorted promptly.
Yo! Still so arrogant, huh? Xu Que raised his brows and glared at b.u.t.tface.
b.u.t.tface shrank his neck back right away, finally remembering the collar that he was wearing. He changed his expression immediately and smiled with utmost kindness and friendliness, “Haha, I’m just joking. It is a joke! I just wanted to ease the tensions right before the upcoming battle!”
Swoos.h.!.+
At the same time, they all heard new sounds of violent winds breaking out.
A mere five miles was nothing to powerhouses at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage. They caught them up in a blink of an eye.
However, deep down, they were quite horrified.
Shaken by the amulet Xu Que had used to teleport, they were also enamored by such an item that could reduce miles to millimeters, and they wished that they had it also.
“Low lifes! Hand over the amulets on you, and we will consider sparing your life!” An elder turned toward Xu Que as he bellowed.
“So what if I don’t hand them over? I dare you to hit me!” Xu Que smirked and looked at the elder with much disdain.
The dozens of Heavenly Human ancestors’ faces quickly turned dark at Xu Que’s words.
“Hmph! How dare he!”
“No human has ever been this atrocious in front of us!”
“Let me give you a piece of advice. You better hand over all of your amulets and tell us where you got them. Otherwise, we’ll make sure that even death would be a better option for you!”
The Heavenly Human elders began to order Xu Que sternly and firmly, and would certainly not take no for an answer.
Xu Que laughed at their antics. His eyes brightened like he had realized something, and he smirked. “You old f.u.c.kers have been cultivating here for years, but none of you could make it into the Celestial Stage. Aren’t your life spans almost up, since you’ve been hiding here for all these years? Why, then, are you still coveting these?”
