Chapter 13

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 30 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 50 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 60 Acting Cool Points!"

While bickering with the old man, Xu Que heard the system's reward notifications echoing continuously in his mind!

But he wasn't acting cool on purpose this time; that old man was just too bizarre, and Xu Que was genuinely angry. A barrage of fierce profanities erupted like a chain of cannonballs, leaving everyone present completely stunned!

Especially the female Sect Master of the Grand Imperial Physician Gate, who had been about to intervene to help Xu Que; she was now utterly confused and bewildered.

With a powerful enemy at the gates, what are you two doing? Engaging in infighting and bickering?

And arguing like this over such a trivial matter?

"..."

The few disciples of the Grand Imperial Physician Gate were also dumbfounded, caught between laughter and tears, because this wasn't the first time they had seen such a scene!

The people from the Blood Sea Sect were also stunned for a moment, but then the expressions of the eight Nascent Soul Stage experts darkened, and killing intent instantly swept over them.

Song Yunhai was even more furious; his beloved son had been killed, and now he had brought all the experts of his sect to take revenge.

Yet the other party showed no fear at all, and was even arguing right in front of them...

"Shut up! Pay with your lives for my son!"

Song Yunhai's grief over his son, combined with this humiliation, instantly transformed into surging, boundless rage. His body turned into a scarlet blood shadow, and he lunged directly from where he stood!

At the same time, a flying sword, thin as a cicada's wing and incomparably sharp, emerged from his hand and slashed fiercely toward Xu Que and the old man!

"Watch out!"

"Oh no, help him!" The people from the Grand Imperial Physician Gate turned pale, and the female Sect Master exclaimed as her figure immediately darted forward.

Xu Que and the old man were still arguing, but when they suddenly saw someone attacking, both of them cursed impatiently: "Get lost!"

Then, they both waved their hands at the same time!

A wisp of ghostly white flame and a crimson flying dagger instantly flew toward Song Yunhai.

The flame was Xu Que's Bone Spirit Cold Fire, while the flying dagger was just a casual move by the old man!

But when the two of them attacked simultaneously, it created a terrifying force!

Song Yunhai was in a state of fury, but he hadn't completely lost his reason. He clearly turned his sword blade, blocking it in front of him, attempting to fend off the techniques from the old man and the youth!

After all, that wisp of flame was too small; although it was eerily white and emitted a chilling aura, Song Yunhai felt he could handle it.

The only thing that made him wary was the flying dagger the old man had flicked out!

The entire flying dagger was crimson, looking quite ordinary, yet it had pierced through the void and arrived silently at a terrifying, shocking speed.

"Clang!"

A metallic ringing sound!

The flying dagger was faster than the strange fire, striking directly against Song Yunhai's blade and sparking a series of flashes!

Subsequently, amidst the stunned silence of the crowd, Song Yunhai let out a muffled groan. His entire body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing instantly into a massive old tree, blasting a human-shaped hole through its trunk.

Following closely, that wisp of white flame arrived quietly, landing lightly on Song Yunhai's clothes like a bee!

Boom!

A powerful chill instantly permeated the area.

"Ah!" Song Yunhai's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils contracted sharply, and he let out a shocking scream!

The next moment, he was completely frozen into ice, his face still maintaining that expression of pain.

Everyone on the scene was stunned!

They hadn't been able to see the whole process clearly; they only knew that Song Yunhai had lunged at Xu Que and the old man, and the two of them had waved their hands as if shooing away flies.

Then they saw the old man's flying dagger blast Song Yunhai away with terrifying speed and power.

As for that wisp of strange fire, people had ignored it; in the blink of an eye, by the time they opened their eyes again, Song Yunhai was already screaming and turning into an ice statue!

Everyone subconsciously looked at the old man, their eyes filled with shock and fear!

Only then did they realize they couldn't discern the cultivation level of that disheveled old man.

Coupled with the fact that he had wiped out Song Yunhai with a single blade, the old man instantly became the focus of everyone's attention!

"So powerful! It turns out this old senior is so formidable; I couldn't tell at all!"

Several disciples of the Grand Imperial Physician Gate, including the female Sect Master, were all stunned.

In their view, Song Yunhai had been killed by the old man! They also felt relieved; with this old senior here, the people from the Blood Sea Sect were finished!

The people from the Blood Sea Sect were also frozen in place. The remaining seven Nascent Soul Stage experts became extremely wary, unable to help but retreat, yet they dared not act rashly, seemingly waiting for a chance to escape!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for killing a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Reward: 200,000 experience points and one storage ring!"

At this moment, the system notification echoed in Xu Que's mind. Clearly, this kill counted toward him, which couldn't help but make him smile.

The old man beside him was full of astonishment, his eyes flickering as he stared straight at Xu Que.

The two stopped bickering, and the old man said in shock: "Kid, what kind of trick was that?"

"Want to learn? Beg me, and I'll teach you!" Xu Que said with a lewd smile.

The old man's expression darkened: "Hmph, I don't care for your petty tricks. How about you kneel and beg me, and I'll teach you a more powerful technique, how about that?"

"Hehe, not interested. Hurry up and leave, don't disturb my killing!" Xu Que waved his hand impatiently.

The old man let out a 'heh', glared, and said: "Kid, do you think I want to stay? If it weren't for eating your chicken wings, I wouldn't have bothered to intervene just now. Since you have such methods, I won't bother with you either; I happen to be going to catch a brat just as much of a scoundrel as you. Goodbye!"

"Don't say goodbye, have a safe trip!" Xu Que squinted and smiled.

With that, the old man made no movement; his figure suddenly faded and then vanished without a trace.

Xu Que was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself what a powerful movement technique that was—it was even faster than the Divine Movement Escape Talisman!

The people from the Grand Imperial Physician Gate were dumbfounded.

The old senior... had actually left!

And he had been chased away!

What are you doing? Are you bored or something?

You chased away such a powerful backer?

The female Sect Master and the two Elders stared blankly at Xu Que, wishing they could stab him in the forehead, dig out his brain, and see if it had gone moldy!

Only a few disciples knew what was going on; being frozen into an ice statue—this scene was too familiar! Previously, Xu Que had killed a Nascent Soul Stage Blood Python in front of them exactly like this.

The people from the Blood Sea Sect were stunned at first, then overjoyed!

The old man was gone, which meant the greatest and most terrifying threat to them was gone too.

In other words, they no longer needed to be wary!

Someone immediately looked up and laughed: "Haha, kid, since no one is protecting you anymore, obediently hand over your life!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame your own foul mouth."

"To actually chase away a high-level expert—this is truly the first time I've seen such a thing."

"Never seen such a fool!"

The people from the Blood Sea Sect burst into loud laughter, even casting the death of their Sect Master to the back of their minds!

However, Xu Que glanced at them indifferently and smiled: "Come on, the irrelevant people are gone, we can finally have a proper fight! Tell me, do you want to fight one-on-one or all together? I personally suggest all together!"
