Chapter 1282: Why Were You So Careless?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The entire area got so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The sovereigns and the guardians of all the sects, including Bai Cailing and the people from the Jade Lake, were completely flabbergasted–they couldn’t believe what they saw! Yi Zhong, the sovereign of the Divine Farmer Clan, was sitting on the ground. His face was as pale as a piece of blank, white paper. His eyes were wide with fear!

“How...could this be?” Everyone was exclaiming to themselves in surprise. This old man’s physique was extremely tough. More important, he was also able to use horrible magic arts, which had shocked everyone watching. He had used the Occult and Ghostly Ice Fog Hand to break the long halberd, a Medium-grade Celestial Artifact, into small metal pieces easily!

“It was a Medium-grade Celestial Artifact!” People continued to talk to themselves. Even in the Divine Farmer Clan, only a few people were qualified to have a Medium-grade Celestial Artifact. Yi Zhong was able to get a Medium-grade Celestial Artifact from his clan because of his good bloodline, which was thought highly of by his clan. He had also been nominated as a candidate for the clan’s Holy Son!

For Yi Zhong, this Medium-grade Celestial Artifact long halberd was his trump card. He hadn’t used it before because he wanted to surprise his opponents with it during the Holy Son competition. Now, however, he had been forced to use it. And he had failed to make even a tiny scratch on Xu Que’s body. Distressingly, his Medium-grade Celestial Artifact had been completely ruined on the spot! This was totally unacceptable for Yi Zhong, and it also shocked everyone else who had been watching this fight.

“The Elder Xu’s physique and magic arts are so powerful! Does it mean he is a Celestial King, a Celestial Prime, or even a Celestial Emperor who has just woken up after many years of sleep?” Once again, the crowd was involved in self-discussions. “If not, how could his strength be so extraordinary and horrible?”

The old man hadn’t displayed his real strength from the beginning. He had just stood there to confront Yi Zhong’s attack with his physique. He had hardly used any magic arts! Only cultivators at the level of the Taiyi Golden Celestial or a higher stage who had extremely powerful physiques could smash a Medium-grade Celestial Artifact with full strength! Therefore, people were more and more convinced that their speculations about Xu Que’s identity were correct!

Yi Zhong stood up with the help of his guardians. The guardians were watching Xu Que vigilantly as they protected Yi Zhong by encircling him with their bodies. Xu Que didn’t continue his attack and said nothing as he stood his ground quietly. He figured out that he had overestimated his own strength. After obtaining the Holy Physique, he felt his speed and defense were far better those of Yi Zhong during the fight! Also, the Occult and Ghostly Ice Fog Hand he had used just now was quite extraordinary and could even smash a Medium-grade Celestial Artifact. As expected, this magic art was a buster of Celestial Artifacts!

However, when Xu Que attacked with the full strength of his physique, he could only wound Yi Zhong, but was not able to kill him. This was the result of the gap between their Cultivation Stages. Xu Que couldn’t do anything about that for he knew his physique was not invincible!

It seemed to everyone watching as if he had escaped unscathed from the fight with Yi Zhong. However, the Celestial Core Power and the Qi in his body had been messed up by Yi Zhong’s attack. If they continued to fight, Yi Zhong’s wounds could be more serious, but Xu Que would also start spitting blood because of all his serious internal wounds. Of course, Xu Que had the assistance of the System’s Automatic Recovery Function, which could heal his wounds easily. So, these wounds were not a cause for grave concern for him. Yi Zhong’s physique would also help him to heal his wounds. Thus, Xu Que was not sure whether he could kill Yi Zhong if they continued to fight even if Yi Zhong’s guardians hadn’t stepped out to stop them. In the final analysis, it would be quite difficult to tell who was the winner of this fight. The sovereigns of the big sects on the Heaven Continent could keep their reputations.

Xu Que was quite embarrassed about this result. In his mind, he shook his head secretly at himself. After all, his Cultivation Stage was two stages lower than these sovereigns. Evidently, it was quite difficult for him to defeat them easily. If he could cross his Heavenly Tribulation and reach the Earth Celestial Stage right away, Xu Que was quite sure he could kill Yi Zhong in an opportunity like this. Unfortunately, he was still a short distance away from the Earth Celestial Stage now.

“Eh...Elder Xu, the Divine Farmer Clan admits its defeat in this fight! Now, the soul fragment is yours!” As Xu Que was thinking all this, one of Yi Zhong’s guardians spoke and handed the soul fragment to Xu Que. Apparently, they were also intimidated by Xu Que’s strength. No matter whether their speculations were correct or not, they didn’t want to take the risk. The cost of losing would be the destruction of the entire Divine Farmer Clan!

Xu Que was totally surprised by the reaction of the Divine Farmer Clan. “What’s going on? Does it mean these people really obey the rules? I didn’t expect they would really admit their defeat!” Xu Que, who never followed the rules or admitted defeat, was thinking to himself again. Xu Que expected that, according to Yi Zhong’s style, Yi Zhong should have been annoyed and asked his guardians to attack Xu Que. “Why did they choose to give in?” Xu Que was pondering this question.

“Elder Xu, the Divine Farmer Clan has been on friendly terms with the Jade Lake for many years. Since they have admitted their defeat, could you show your mercy and end this fight now?” Bai Cailing asked as she looked at Xu Que. A strand of reverence could be sensed in her voice.

Now, upon hearing that, Xu Que was really stunned. The reaction of Bai Cailing and the rest of the people in this area absolutely boggled his mind. Everyone was looking at him. In their eyes, Xu Que could see curiosity and fear as if they were looking at a ghost! “Holy sh*t! What the h*ll is going on?” Xu Que asked himself. Then he frowned for he was totally confused. Just now, he had showed the strength of his physique. But people in this area shouldn’t be intimidated like this. Now, even Bai Cailing was looking at him with fear. Something must be wrong!

“OK! Let’s end the fight now!” Xu Que couldn’t figure out what was going on and didn’t want to waste his time in guessing. So he just kept nodding his head. The Divine Farmer Clan guardians breathed a sigh as if they had been relieved of a heavy load. At the same time, Yi Zhong raised his head and looked at the soul fragment in Xu Que’s hands resentfully. Xu Que was even more confused. “Something must be wrong! Yi Zhong is angry and recalcitrant now. Why does he choose to forbear? This is so weird!” Xu Que was having a whole dialogue with himself. “Does it mean...this guy is only pretending to surrender and he is going to attack me sneakily?”

At the thought of this, Xu Que raised his eyebrows immediately. He didn’t reallize that all the people in this area had deemed him as a cultivator whose Cultivation Stage had reached the Celestial King or an even higher stage. So, he believed the people from the Divine Farmer Clan were going to play dirty. However, when Xu Que received the soul fragment, people from the Divine Farmer Clan didn’t attack him. On the contrary, they turned around and were about to leave the altar and this ancient battleground right away.

“Are you going to leave in this way?” Xu Que was stunned, so he asked as he frowned. People from the Divine Farmer Clan stopped immediately. Everyone was shocked by his words. A Celestial King would never be insulted. It seemed this old man wouldn’t let the people from the Divine Farmer Clan go so easily.

“You should take this junk with you! Protection of the environment is everyone’s responsibility!” Xu Que said as he pointed at the metal pieces on the ground at this time. Those metal pieces were created after Yi Zhong’s long halberd, which was a Medium-grade Celestial Artifact, was smashed. Although the Celestial Artifact was ruined, these metal pieces were still quite precious. They didn’t expect Xu Que to call them junk!

People from the Divine Farmer Clan felt uneasy. They thought this old man was going to embarrass them again. They didn’t expect that he would just ask them to take the metal pieces away! They were quite happy to hear that. They hadn’t dared to take away those metal pieces. Since this old man asked them to do that, they would follow his request with pleasure! Those metal pieces might be junk for the old man, but were quite precious for them!

“OK! We will clean up this place immediately!” A guardian said at once.

Yi Zhong became even more impatient and was anxious to leave here because it was a humiliation for him. However, Yi Zhong still turned around and walked back to Xu Que. He took those metal pieces into his storage ring.

“Young man, there is no limit if you look up. So, don’t be so arrogant in the future! I will let you go this time. But you won’t be so lucky next time!” Xu Que said as he looked at Yi Zhong with a smile. Yi Zhong’s face darkened as he suppressed his anger. But he didn’t dare to have a fight with Xu Que again. So he just turned around and left directly. All the rest of the people also kept silent. They believed the Divine Farmer Clan had been quite lucky that this issue was solved in this way. They should thank the Jade Lake who had interceded for them and also the old man who had been so generous and merciful to them.

WHOOSH!

However, when Yi Zhong turned around and was about to leave, an air-rending sound whistled from behind him. The next moment, a pitch-dark rod landed on Yi Zhong’s head heavily like a flash of lightning. BANG! Yi Zhong, who had had no time to dodge the attack, was knocked down to the ground and fell into a coma immediately. At the same time, Yi Zhong’s chest was penetrated by a sharp sword. His robe was soaked in his blood as his life was being taken away by a horrible destructive power!

At this time, Xu Que’s face, which was full of smiles, appeared from behind Yi Zhong’s back. Then he said, as he shook his head with a smile, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, I told you that you wouldn’t be so lucky next time! Why were you so careless?”
