Chapter 877: I Am the Kunlun Master

"Roar!"

Several large serpents instantly erupted in furious roars, flicking their tongues as they whipped their heads around to charge straight at Xu Que.

"Eh?"

Xu Que was immediately startled, exclaiming in astonishment, "That's not right; you're just a snake head with no tail? Let me count: one, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to beat the tiger—damn, eight snake heads?"

"Foolish human, This Seat is the Nine-Headed Serpent!" The eight snake heads roared in unison, responding together.

Xu Que's eyes instantly widened.

It turned out that after all this commotion, such a monster had been hiding here! Moreover, its cultivation realm was not low; it actually possessed four or five layers of the Mahayana Stage.

"Nine-Headed Serpent, then where is your ninth head?" Xu Que gave a cold smile, waved his large hand, and a strand of Black Flame suddenly surged from his palm.

Boom!

A violent aura of fire instantly swept across the entire arena.

The eight snake heads forcibly halted their movements, looking at Xu Que with immense dread: "You... what kind of flame is this?"

"Who the hell cares what flame it is? I'm asking you a question; are you deaf or blind?" Xu Que immediately shouted, raising his hand as if to hurl the Black Flame outward.

The eight snake heads were startled and hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Upper Immortal, when This Seat... when I was suppressed back then, my ninth head was severed!"

"How many years ago was 'back then,' and who severed it?" Xu Que asked, glaring.

"This... it must have been eight or nine thousand years ago; I have slept for too long and cannot clearly recall exactly how many years have passed, but the one who suppressed me and severed my snake head back then was the master of this place!" The eight snake heads responded respectfully.

It was very sensible; knowing that the strand of flame in Xu Que's hand was extraordinary, it felt great dread and instantly lost any desire to fight!

"Hmph, then where did they go? Damn it, I actually thought I'd encountered a beautiful snake woman, only to find out it's a male snake; how can you be so disgusting? Why transform into anything else but a woman?" Xu Que grew angrier the more he spoke.

The eight snake heads immediately shrank back, trembling as they said, "Reporting to Upper Immortal, I... I did not transform into a woman to deceive you; that One just now was the master of this place!"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Xu Que's expression suddenly changed.

His feet stepped out with Lightning, and he suddenly darted forward.

Boom!

The next moment, the spot where he had just been standing was suddenly smashed by a Sword Shadow, creating a huge Pit.

Subsequently, that white-robed woman manifested again in the same spot, her jet-black long hair cascading down her back; her eyes looked solemnly at Xu Que as she smiled lightly and said, "Strange; after so many years, this world still has a youth with such cultivation?"

"Hmph, you demoness, daring to launch a sneak attack from behind? Do you have any shame left?" Xu Que snorted coldly, pointing his Sword at the white-robed woman.

The white-robed woman smiled coldly: "You dare call me a demoness?"

"What's wrong with calling you a demoness? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" After speaking, Xu Que lightly raised his wrist, clenched his fist, and violently smashed forward.

Bang!

The Void instantly distorted and concaved downward,

A giant golden fist manifested out of thin air, and with majestic momentum, crashed down toward the white-robed woman.

This was a King of Acting Cool Fist worth Fifty Thousand Points of Pretentiousness; he unleashed a major killing move immediately, clearly showing that Xu Que was too lazy to talk much with this woman—even if he couldn't kill her, he would at least inflict heavy injuries first.

"Hmm?"

The moment the white-robed woman saw the golden fist shadow, she couldn't help but show a change in expression; she lightly tapped the ground with her toe, and her entire body suddenly floated up.

However, no matter how fast her movements were, she could not escape the coverage of this fist.

Just as her figure darted out, the fist shadow had already arrived; the majestic power instantly tore her entire body apart, turning her into a puff of white smoke that vanished from the spot.

"Still not dead?"

Xu Que frowned.

Because the system's Kill Reward had not appeared, he was very certain that the previous fist had failed to suppress and kill the opponent.

Moreover, this woman's Body Movement Method was too bizarre; every time she could turn into white smoke and vanish silently, which was even more powerful than the Divine Movement Escape Talisman.

"Young man, which sect and faction do you come from?"

Suddenly, the woman's voice came through.

Xu Que turned his head to look; she had already appeared by the edge of the Lake, unharmed, her gaze also soft as she looked at Xu Que.

"Hehe, this humble one is a member of the Factions that Sky-High!" Xu Que smiled proudly, his fist already clenched in his hand, preparing to unleash a few more King of Acting Cool Fists.

But the white-robed woman noticed this, smiled gently, and said, "Young man, do not make a move; you have already passed the trial, and I permit you to enter this place!"

"Hehe, you say don't make a move so I won't? On what grounds?" Xu Que smiled coldly, his feet stepping on Lightning as he already charged forward.

Since the opponent could dodge, then he would get close!

The white-robed woman, however, remained very solemn, shaking her head and saying, "I am merely an Avatar Shadow; you cannot kill me!"

Boom!

The moment her words fell, Xu Que's fist happened to arrive.

However, just as the fist went out, the white-robed woman turned into white smoke in the blink of an eye, drifted backward, and easily dodged the fist with a light and casual motion.

"Avatar Shadow?" Xu Que immediately frowned.

If even an Avatar Shadow could be this strong, wouldn't the True Body be heaven-defying?

"Who exactly are you?" Xu Que asked in a deep voice.

The white-robed woman smiled and said, "I am the master of this place, the Kunlun Master!"

"Kunlun Master? Are you the Queen Mother of the West?" Xu Que asked suspiciously.

The white-robed woman continued smiling, shook her head, and said, "The Queen Mother of the West is merely a legend among the people! Many years ago, I opened up this place and activated the Gate leading to the Road to Seeking Immortality, so this place takes me as its master; anyone arriving here must obtain my permission, otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Road to Seeking Immortality?" Xu Que was astonished; what the hell was the difference between this and the Ascension Road?

"Young man, this place has been Sealed for over ten thousand years; that you could enter and pass my trial shows that you possess the qualification to enter the Road to Seeking Immortality," the white-robed woman smiled.

Xu Que's expression sank, however: "I passed the trial, but what about my friends? Where did you take them?"

The white-robed woman shook her head slightly: "Rest assured, as long as one person among you passes the trial, I will let you all pass! However, before that, I have a few questions I wish to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Que immediately patted his chest and said, "Good; seeing as you are so beautiful, ask whatever you like!"

"Thank you!" The woman in white gazed softly, smiling at Xu Que, then turned her eyes toward the entrance of the Formation and sighed: "Although I am called the master of this place, I am ultimately nothing more than an Avatar Shadow, sealed here to guard the Gate, unable to leave for eternity. I wish to ask you..."

"Thud!"

Before she could finish speaking, only a muffled boom was heard.

The expression on the woman in white's face suddenly stiffened; her eyes held shock and astonishment, then her pupils slowly closed, and her entire body collapsed.

Only then did a Golden Little Man appear behind her, gripping a Black Long Staff; it was precisely the Little Golden Body from Xu Que's brow.

"Hmph, naive! Did you really think that because I found you pretty, I wouldn't dare strike you? Trying to ambush me, you're still too green!" Xu Que gave a Cold Smile, recalled his Little Golden Body, and leisurely walked toward the woman in white.

The eight-headed great serpent behind him stood dumbfounded, filled with Disbelief, its heart overrun with terror—there was... there was actually such a maneuver?

"What Kunlun Master, what trial? Just watch me strip you bare and throw you outside to freeze to death!" Xu Que walked up to the woman in white, snorted coldly, and spoke these harsh words.

Upon hearing this, the eight-headed great serpent's eyes immediately lit up; all eight snake heads nodded up and down simultaneously as it excitedly cried, "Great, great!"
