Chapter 981: Just Guess Whether I Will Kill You?
"Buttface, that's enough! Don't you feel disgusted doing this every day?" Xu Que asked Buttface in a scornful manner.
Buttface said, sulking, "Damn! I just use it to nourish my body. Why can't I? I'm not proud?"
"OK, OK, OK! I won't waste my words on you! Let's find them first!"
Xu Que waved his hand. He didn't want to waste his time on Buttface. He started to check the places in the south. According to the traces left by the serpent, they were headed south, and they were far away from here. Otherwise, Xu Que would have found them with his Soul Strength.
Boom!
Immediately, Xu Que jumped into the sky and dashed toward the south with Buttface by stepping on lightning. The Taijin Continent was very vast. They had been staying in the First Realm since their arrival in this world. According to the territorial allocation of this continent, the area in the center was called the First Realm. Then, there was the Second Realm, the Third Realm, and so on. The outer rim of this continent was the Sixth Realm.
It was just like the territorial allocation of some cities on Earth. The central part was more developed and the outer ring area was less developed.
The First Realm represented the strongest power of the Taijin Continent, which had been witnessed by Xu Que and was nothing to speak of for him. They kept traveling southwards. At this moment, they had left the First Realm and approached the Second Realm.
On the way, Xu Que found many fighting traces. According to the newness and some unique marks of the traces, Xu Que was sure the traces were caused by Jiang Hongyan's magic arts. This meant they had fought with enemies as they traveled. However, Xu Que soon let out a sigh of relief.
According to the fighting traces, nobody was chasing Jiang Hongyan and his younger sister. On the contrary, they were chasing their enemies.
"Interesting! What happened? Why did they keep chasing their enemies?" Xu Que was puzzled.
Buttface walked up to him and said thoughtfully, "I guess they tried to rob something precious!"
"Treasure? I don't think so!" Xu Que shook his head. According to Jiang Hongyan's style, she would never kill people for their treasures.
Also, things which could annoy her and make her so angry that she kept chasing her enemies for so long a distance were rare.
"Forget it! We'll know the answer when we find them. I guess we are quite close now!" Xu Que smiled and stopped guessing. They continued to move southwards.
...
Soon, two hours had passed.
Xu Que and Buttface had covered several thousand miles. During their trip, they found many fighting traces. Soon, they had left the First Realm and entered the Second Realm. The overall strength of this area was much weaker than the First Realm. Also, compared to the First Realm, this area was in a mess. It was almost total anarchy.
Internal conflicts among gangsters, robbery-homicides, human trafficking, and indiscriminate defecation could be seen everywhere. The only thing which surprised Xu Que was that a big spell Array was hiding in this area. It seemed the entire area was placed above the big spell Array.
"Holy crap! Little brat, this is horrible! This spell Array is formed naturally. The mountains are spell cores and the rivers are sources of the Spiritual Qi!" Buttface shouted in surprise after seeing the spell Array.
Xu Que was also shocked. Spell Arrays could be divided according to their complexity. For example, the stone Arrays in the ancient times used the spell formation formed by stones to confuse the enemy.
Also, there were a lot of natural Arrays, like some forests where people could get lost easily.
The Second Realm could almost be deemed as an enormous forest Array. The mountains acted as the trees in this Array. Stepping into this natural Array, people could lose their directions immediately.
More important, when Xu Que entered this Array, his Soul Strength couldn't be used anymore.
"Damn! This place is really weird!" Xu Que widened his eyes angrily.
Basically, he was sure Jiang Hongyan and his younger sister were in this area. He couldn't find them with his Soul Strength. So he had to find them by throwing his shoe.
"Little brat, just throw your shoe, I am quite busy!" Buttface urged nervously at this time.
Apparently, he was scared by all those unfriendly eyes around them.
When Xu Que and Buttface stepped into this area, a lot of people started to stare at them publicly or secretly. Of course, all these people were unfriendly.
"Heh-heh, this is interesting! Just now we saw two beautiful girls and a small dog. Now we saw a young man and another dog! I didn't expect the Ghost King Market in the Second Realm was so popular now!" Sarcastic laughter rang out at this time.
Xu Que's eyes lit up. He was quite happy to hear that.
Two beautiful girls?
Even a fool knows they are Jiang Hongyan and Xu Feifei! Now I can save the Acting Tough Points used for throwing my shoes!
At the thought of this, Xu Que looked around and found the voice was coming from a middle-aged man who was surrounded by many guards. He dressed like a playboy who always went in and out of brothels.
"Sir, I heard you say you saw two beautiful girls and a small dog just now. Where are they?" Xu Que asked with an innocent smile.
The middle-aged playboy was stunned a bit. Then he laughed loudly as if he had heard a hilarious joke. "Hah, hah, you asked me, right? Interesting! Now you can guess whether I will answer you! Hah, hah...." The playboy continued to laugh loudly after finishing those words. The guards beside him and the onlookers also started to laugh.
For them, Xu Que was still an ignorant boy who had tried to ask a question instead of running away. All of them were amused by Xu Que.
"Wow! People in this area are so arrogant!" Xu Que smiled.
Apparently, people in this area were quite tough and mean, used to licking blood on their knives' edges. But he was quite curious. If Jiang Hongyan was here, these shameless people would have been slaughtered by her. Why couldn't he find any fighting trace?
"Young man, just go! The two girls offended someone they couldn't afford to offend. If you have come here for them, I suggest you just leave here immediately!" At this time, an old man behind Xu Que gave him some advice in a low voice.
The old man's voice was quite low, which was almost covered by the laughter around them. But Xu Que heard that warning. He turned around and found the old man was standing in a stall. Beside him, a cold but pretty girl in black was sitting.
Xu Que fixed his eyes on that girl immediately. The girl frowned and glanced at Xu Que coldly. Chilly light flashed in her eyes as if she was warning Xu Que to stop looking her up and down.
"Thank you for your advice. But...."
After saying that, Xu Que looked at the people around him and said with a cold smile, "I'm not talking about someone specifically. I just wanted to say everyone on the Taijin Continent is useless. I can afford to offend any one of you!"
His words froze the smile on people's faces. Now,all of them were annoyed.
Whoosh!
However, before they started to react, Xu Que attacked first. He dashed forward like a ghost and appeared behind that middle-aged playboy within a blink of an eye. Then he waved the Dark Heavy Buster Sword in his hand.
Bang!
With a dull sound, the middle-aged playboy was knocked away by his Dark Heavy Buster Sword before he knew what had happened. Then Xu Que caught up with the flying playboy and knocked him to the ground directly.
Boom!
The middle-aged playboy was embedded into the ground. A lot of crushed stones were flying. All his movements were finished in only one breath.
The entire area became silent instantly. Everyone was stunned and in disbelief.
"This is...." The old man in the stall widened his eyes in surprise. The cold and pretty girl stood up and her face was full of astonishment.
"Ah...."
The miserable screams of the middle-aged playboy could be heard at last. He was lying on the ground miserably, and his face was covered by fresh blood.
Xu Que's understated attack broke a lot of his bones and probably had crippled him.
"Elder Young Master!"
Finally, his guards realized what had happened. They shouted and tried to rush up.
"Just get lost!" Xu Que waved his Dark Heavy Buster Sword directly. His attack seemed quite casual. Actually, he used the standard Six Corporeal Forms. The sky was filled with thickly dotted inky sword shadows, which landed on the body of those guards.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The guards were knocked away directly. They fell to the ground and started to spit fresh blood. Then all of them passed out and their lives were in the balance.
"Heh, heh!"
At this time, Xu Que's true nature was exposed. He placed his foot on the chest of the middle-aged playboy and asked with a wicked smile, "So? You are quite naughty, right? You want me to guess, right? Now, you should guess whether I will kill you?"
