Chapter 989: It’s Not Pure Enough
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Bam!”
With a stifled thud, the Second Young Master of the Ghost King Palace fell heavily to the ground. Horror filled his face as he could not stop his lips from trembling. Dampness spread around his crotch area.
“I… …impossible, this… …” he murmured in shock, unable to believe what had happened.
Everyone present was shocked. Eyes widened, and jaws dropped, they too could not believe their eyes.
The Blood Sea that was vast and all-engulfing mere moments ago have entirely dried up. Sparks and flames danced in the deep crevices of the seabed.
A blink of an eye and a sea of blood transformed into a sea of flames.
It was all caused by a fiery lotus the size of a palm.
“Oh my G.o.d!”
“To think that the fiery lotus would have such devastating power!”
“I’m not f.u.c.king dreaming, am I?”
“Boss Li is thoroughly dead now for sure!”
“That’s too scary!”
“I’m afraid that the Ghost King Palace is finished!”
Conversations broke out in hushed shock, and the hearts of people trembled.
They’ve lived long enough to see a lot of powerhouses, but even top tier existences would at most be a Gold Level fighter like Boss Li.
However, a young man suddenly emerged. He may look refined and gracious, well-read and polite, but he was, in fact, ruthless and cold-hearted, sc.u.mmy and gangsterlike.
However, most importantly, his strength was so overwhelming that it was suffocating. Killing an experienced Gold Level fighter was as easy as pie for him.
“Sigh, why do you have to force me to prove my strength? Why is all this for?” Xu Que sighed and put out a solemn expression.
Then, he turned his eyes to the Second Young Master sitting limply on the ground. He smiled lightly, “Now that you, the ruinous son, have ruined your father, do you have any ancestors or aunts that we could ruin next? Oh, right, do you have any good-looking sisters?”
Before the Second Young Master could reply, Xu Feifei at the other sh.o.r.e of the Blood Sea yelled, “Xu Que, you sc.u.m, why are you asking him that? Sister Hongyan, you’re letting him be?”
Jiang Hongyan smiled and shook her head, giving up a little, “I can’t not let him be!”
She had long known that Xu Que had flirted with several girls back at the Five Elements Mountain. Even her best friend, Liu Jingning, seemed to share an exceptional relations.h.i.+p with him. Now that things have gone this way, there was not much she can do.
However, she wasn’t as worried about Xu Que. While he might be a smooth-talker, he never really fell for any of those girls. Even those women who came to his side before have all experienced various thick and thin with him.
In summary, this fellow wasn’t as fickle as he seemed. Moreover, men having two or more wives are common in the World of Cultivation. It wasn’t anything overboard.
“Feifei, don’t get me wrong! I’m just asking out of courtesy. It’s not like I have an underlying motive!” Xu Que replied from afar.
Swos.h.!.+
The next moment, he swung the Dark Heavy Greatsword and brought it down towards the Second Young Master’s head. He bellowed, “Spill it, do you have any sisters… …puu, no, hand over your ancestor’s ashes! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
“Ah… …spare me, Big brother, spare me!” begged the Second Young Master who came to is senses. He cried in horror and was almost scared to death.
“We can discuss the issue of sparing you later. Hand over the boine ashes first!” Xu Que said smilingly.
The Second Young Master quickly pointed to the entrance of the Ghost King Palace. He yelled, “Big brother, the bone ashes are at the underground mourning altar. Let me get them for you.”
“Hero, hero, we’ve gotten the bone ashes for you!” cried the guards. They came out boisterously as a group, piling pandering smiles on their faces as they offered the can of bone ashes to Xu Que.
The Second Young Master was stunned for a while, then glared at those guards. He was not angry at their betrayal, but at them robbing his chance to perform in front of Xu Que.
“Yoho, not bad!” Xu Que smiled and waved his hand, taking the can of bone ashes.
He opened the lid and saw a pile of pure white powder in the can. Every sand was distinct, and under the sunlight, they looked quite translucent.
Xu Que summoned the system at once, “System, scan these and tell me if they are the Whit Bone Ash required to make the s.p.a.ce Breaking Spell!”
“Ding! After a.n.a.lyzing, this material belongs to White Bone Ash, purity 50%. It has a low success rate of creating the s.p.a.ce Breaking Spell. Not advised to proceed!” replied the system immediately.
Xu Que went wide-eyed and almost vomited blood.
You mean there’s a purity grade for even bone ashes? They must be messing around!
“The system suggests for the Host to search for Bone Ash that was preserved from a time a lot earlier. Only with the settlement over the years, that the purity of the Bone Ash would be higher!” reminded the system.
Xu Que shook his head. It seems like this was almost as good as a wasted trip.
However, it was great that he had reaped some experience points, and he earned almost 30,000 points from acting tough. Overall it wasn’t too bad.
Most importantly, the Ghost King Palace was a tyrant and obviously not kind spirits. Now that he had finished them off, it could count as his contribution towards upholding the righteous and removing a malignant tumor from the society!
Xu Que rea.s.sured himself in the heart, believing that he had done something good.
However, everyone else with their eyes with Xi Que felt even more fearful than when they had to face Boss Li. Before they realized, the crowd had dissipated by half.
“Big brother, we’ve handed over the bone ash. Do…do you still need anything? Please spare my life, I would never dare to provoke you ever again.” asked a fearful Second Young Master sitting on the ground.
“Hmph!”
Xu Que let out a cold scoff and threw the can of bone ashes back to the Second Young Master. He commented disdainfully, “Your bone ashes are not pure enough. I don’t want them anymore!”
“Huh?” the Second Young Master was confused.
Everyone almost rolled their eyes and fainted.
f.u.c.k, what purity do bone ashes have? That’s the first time they even f.u.c.king heard about that!
“Don’t, don’t do that, Big brother. I swear that the ashes inside are the ashes of our Ancestors! Please accept it!” begged the teary Second Young Master.
Right now, he felt that Xu Que did not want the ashes from the start, that he simply wanted to find an excuse to kill him off.
“Scram scram scram, are you crazy? Why would I need the bone ashes of your ancestors? Geez, do I look like a person without morals?”
“No, of course not!” the Second Young Master responded immediately.
Xu Que nodded, satisfied. “Okay, that’ll do. Since you’ve ruined your father to death, apologize to these two beautiful fairies. We’ll leave after you apologize.”
“Yes!” The Second Young Master quickly rolled over to the sh.o.r.e on his knees. He began to kowtow at Jiang Hongyan and Xu Feifei, “I’m sorry, Elder sisters, I’m blind, and I run my mouth! I would never dare to do this again.”
“Forget it, forget it. I won’t pick bones with people like you! Xu Feifei huffed and waved her hand.
She was ultimately a kind girl at heart and had zero intentions of killing the Second Young Master.
Nothing enters the eyes of Jiang Hongyan, and she was never offended. If not for the Second Young Master being provocative towards Xu Feifei, and discovered that he had White Bone Ashes with him, she would never have chased him this far.
“Okay, we the members of the Holy Explosion Faction do not make promises that we can’t keep. Since you’ve apologized, I’ll spare your life!” said Xu Que.
At the same time, he gathered his fingers and swiped them to his front.
