Chapter 989: Voldemort Er Gouzi

"Coming or not?"Xu Que glared at Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, reached out, and pulled out another earthworm!

"Coming, coming, coming, we're here!"Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude instantly felt a chill below their waists, hurriedly clamped their crotches tight, and scampered back!

Xu Que then pointed the Broken Sword at the four Half-Immortal Realm experts, speaking in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, you can raise both hands and surrender!"

Surrender?

Hearing this, the several Half-Immortal Realm experts immediately widened their eyes!

A mere kid at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Fifth Layer, daring to demand their surrender—what the hell kind of tall tale is this!

But... not surrendering seems impossible either; this lad wields an Immortal Artifact, his speed is such a monster, and he's blocking the entrance to the Immortal Array. There is simply no road for them to flee.

"Fellow Daoist, I only ask one question!"At this moment, the Long Whip Woman suddenly looked at Xu Que and spoke.

Xu Que narrowed his eyes, then seriously took a closer look at the Long Whip Woman.

In terms of beauty, her face was quite good, but she couldn't compare at all to Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning and the others; however, this woman gave people a very wise feeling, her eyes were extremely deep, and it was hard to guess her thoughts!

"Sure, ask away!"Xu Que nodded.

The Long Whip Woman wore a cold expression and said in a deep voice: "You said you previously met people from Green Vine Academy. What I want to ask is, how many of them were there in total, and how many died?"

"Seven, all dead!"Xu Que curled the corner of his mouth, simply too lazy to brag, and directly spoke the truth!

"Seven?"The Long Whip Woman frowned slightly, then nodded again: "This should be a reasonable number; I guess if there had been ten of them or even nine, you wouldn't have been able to kill them all!"

Having finished speaking, only the sound of "pata" was heard; the Long Whip Woman directly threw down the long whip in her hand, raised both hands, and said: "I don't want to die, so I choose to surrender!"

"Hm?"Xu Que was instantly stunned; he hadn't expected this woman to be so straightforward, surrendering the moment she said it, completely lacking the arrogance of an expert, with not even an ounce of idol baggage!

Obviously, this was a smart woman, very good at understanding the situation!

"Senior Sister Li, you... what are you doing?"

"You are actually surrendering to someone at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?"

"We are Disciples of Dongsheng Academy! How can you behave like this?"

"If this matter gets out, it will simply disgrace the reputation of our Dongsheng Academy; by then, the teachers of the Academy won't let you off!"

Immediately, the other three Half-Immortal Realm Disciples said with faces full of shock, their eyes also carrying a trace of anger!

Although they also dreaded and feared Xu Que, and even knew there was no retreat, they still hadn't considered surrendering; they completely treated the two words "surrender" as a joke!

But now, the strongest remaining among them had actually chosen to surrender, which made them feel extremely ashamed!

"Those who recognize the times are heroes; do you really think you can get away?"the woman replied coldly, her gaze fixed on Xu Que, also seeming afraid that Xu Que might break his word and take her life!

But this time Xu Que was very gentlemanly; he didn't use any dirty tricks, smiling and staring back at her!

What he wanted now was to capture a few live ones to thoroughly understand these people's intentions and everything inside Buried Immortal Valley!

"Haha, this Divine Venerable has arrived!"

"This girl is very smart; why don't you guys surrender quickly? If you don't surrender, your little chickens will be just like that earthworm just now, flesh and blood muddled!"

At this moment, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude had already flanked behind those three Half-Immortal Realm experts, threatening with immense swagger.

The three Half-Immortal Realm experts had extremely ugly faces; making them surrender was simply more painful than death, and they really couldn't save face.

If Xu Que were at the Human Immortal Realm, or at the Half-Immortal Realm like them, or even at the very least the Mahayana Stage, they would have felt it was acceptable, but Xu Que was just at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, which made them feel not quite so desperate!

Deep in their hearts, they vaguely felt a voice telling them: A mere Tribulation Transcendence Stage, even relying on an Immortal Artifact, is still just Tribulation Transcendence Stage; if we fight hard, perhaps we can counter-kill and earn merit!

Once this thought appeared, it made them even less likely to surrender.

Cultivators mostly share a common trait, a gambler's psychology; they like to gamble and fight for many things; if they win, it's a Great Fortune/Opportunity; if they lose, they might be destroyed forever.

And the reason gamblers are called gamblers is that in most cases, they will choose to fight!

"Hmph, the three of us joining forces to break through from different directions; as long as we rush into the Immortal Array and send the message to the teachers and other classmates, this lad will surely die without a whole corpse!"Immediately, one of them spoke.

The other two nodded slightly, already taking their positions, forming Dharma Spells with their hands, and summoning Dharma Artifacts, ready to strike at any moment!

The Long Whip Woman stood calmly aside, watching with cold eyes, and shook her head: "Foolish!"

"They are indeed foolish, but you'd better be smart too; don't try to sneak away while I'm attacking, or you'll regret it!"Xu Que looked at the woman and said with a smile.

In the next moment, he stepped on the Wind Fire Wheels beneath his feet, carrying the Wind Fire Thunder Storm Sound, and his whole body shot horizontally through the air, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight!

"Now is the time, charge!"

Almost simultaneously, the three Half-Immortal Realm Disciples of Dongsheng Academy shouted in deep voices, splitting into three different directions, darting out like Light Streams, charging toward the Immortal Array at the entrance of Buried Immortal Valley as if they didn't care about their lives!

"Boom!"

In an instant, a Wind Fire Thunder Storm sound roared beside them; the three opened their Divine Soul Power, vaguely capturing Xu Que's position, instantly pushed their speed to the limit, and in the blink of an eye rushed dozens of li away!

"Almost there!"

"Three Breaths, just Three Breaths, and we'll be safe!"Watching the Immortal Array right before their eyes, all three wore expressions of joy on their faces.

The Long Whip Woman behind them frowned slightly, her hands gently clenching, as if already considering whether to flee!

"Rip!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from ahead!

Following that, on the bodies of the three Half-Immortal Realm experts, bursts of Blood Mist exploded one after another; their bodies were all sliced in half by a Broken Sword, falling toward both ends like kites with broken strings!

The Long Whip Woman's steps paused slightly; she could no longer hold back her urge to take this opportunity to flee!

She knew this was a good chance to escape; even though there was an old man and a dog blocking the road behind, she felt that with her strength, this one man and one dog couldn't stop her!

But after struggling a little, she still forcibly suppressed this desire to run in her heart!

Because Xu Que's warning to her before he acted made her very wary; her intuition told her that if she ran, the next one to die would definitely be her!

"Boom!"

At this moment, Xu Que, already riding the Wind Fire Wheels, appeared before her, his gaze carrying a smile: "You really are quite smart; you actually didn't run!"

"I believe you won't break your word!"the woman said calmly, but her eyes were still full of vigilance!

"Of course, the Zha Tian Bang always keeps its word, especially me, Xu Que, known as Xu Honest, Xu Sincere; I never break my word!"Xu Que immediately laughed.

Then, he saw him wave his large hand; the woman heard a "whoosh" from behind her; a black shadow actually darted past, rushing straight toward Xu Que, turning into a vast lightning bolt, and merging into his body!

"Avatar?" The woman with the long whip immediately realized it, her face filled with shock.

She knew that the black shadow that had darted past just now was Xu Que's avatar; otherwise, it could not have possessed such speed, or even merged back into Xu Que's body in the end!

At this moment, she only belatedly felt a chill run down her spine, her scalp going slightly numb.

If she had truly fled just now, she feared she would already have become a corpse!

"Hehe, don't take offense; I'm not doubting you, but I've always been cautious in my actions. Yet I am also open and aboveboard, never resorting to dirty tricks, so you can rest assured!" Xu Que said with a faint smile, looking every bit the upright gentleman!

If an ordinary person saw his expression and heard his words, they would surely spit directly at him and curse him as shameless!

But Xu Que's face was too deceptive; refined and gentle, just like a scholar, the words coming from his mouth indeed sounded very much like those of a gentleman!

The woman with the long whip instantly believed more than half of it, nodding slightly: "It seems I didn't trust the wrong person. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, you kept me alive to gather information. Speak, what do you want to ask..."

"Bang!"

Before she could finish speaking, only a dull thud was heard. The woman's vision suddenly went black; a powerful sense of dizziness swept through her entire body. Her eyes rolled back, and she fell stiffly to the ground, fainting on the spot!

"Hahaha, kid, this Black Staff of yours is damn useful; lend it to this Divine Venerable to play with from now on!" Only then did Er Gouzi jump out from the grass behind the woman, holding Xu Que's Black Staff, his face brimming with excitement and pride.

Xu Que had just used his avatar to pass the Black Staff to Er Gouzi, and this fellow, teaching himself without a master, actually employed the old sneaky ambush tactics of a ground-hiding demon, successfully ambushing this woman at the Mid Stage of the Half-Immortal Realm!

Looking at the unconscious woman lying on the ground, Xu Que nodded with a smiling face, then turned to Er Gouzi and said: "666, not bad this time, well done! However, I just smeared poison on this Black Staff; if you don't want to die, return the Black Staff, and also bring some Treasures to exchange for the Antidote!"

Er Gouzi: "Grass!"
