Chapter 293: Is That Still Fujiwara?

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

Had… had they heard that correctly?

Were those the kind of things that Fujiwara would say?

Idiot? Halfwit?

How could these filthy words come out of Fujiwara's innocent mouth?

Could it be that he had been so angered by Ye Chang Feng that he had begun to talk nonsense?

And did he just claim that he'd once defeated Ye Chang Feng?

Good heavens, was that true?

Or was Fujiwara just bragging?

Damn, was this still the same innocent and sincere Fujiwara from before?

The whole crowd was so stunned that they were completely unable to respond.

Wasn't this plot twist too much of a bolt out of the blue?

...…

"Die, you motherfucker!" shouted Ye Chang Feng, who was furious after hearing Xu Que mention that embarrassing incident. He lifted his sword and rushed towards Xu Que, full of murderous intent.

Xu Que merely sneered. He swung down the giant sword in his hands. In an instant, aura surged from the sword and completely enshrouded Ye Chang Feng's entire body.

With Xu Que's current strength, there was no need for him to use any special techniques with Ye Chang Feng. The Six Corporeal Forms alone would be enough to bring him to his knees!

This was a battle between a Level 9 Original Infant Stage fighter and a Level 4 Original Infant Stage fighter!

There was no doubt who would emerge victorious here!

Boom!

Ye Chang Feng had just approached Xu Que but in an instant, he had been enveloped by an enormous force. His expression changed drastically as he realized that something was wrong.

Then numerous swords shot through the air heading straight at him, ready to slice his head to a pulp.

Stab, stab, stab!

The swords struck Ye Chang Feng's body and he was sent flying a few feet. He fell to the ground with a loud thud, immediately coughing up a spurt of blood.

The whole crowd went so silent instantly that you could hear a pin drop!

Boom!

Xu Que's Level 9 Original Infant power had been released in its full potential, to the amazement of everyone in the crowd.

"How… how is this possible?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed and incredulously at Xu Que, their minds completely blank at the sight.

How could such a young fighter ever achieve Level 9 of Original Infant Stage?

Was it still the same Takumi Fujiwara?

How had he changed into such a different person?

Where had that air of innocence and naivety gone?

Why was there only strength and formidable power left in that young man?

Holy moly, what the hell was going on here?

No, no, no, no, no!

Our eyes must be deceiving us!

It isn't Fujiwara's fault, it's just the world's fault!

What exactly is going on here?

Is this just a collective hallucination?

...…

Ye Chang Feng fell to the ground clutching his chest, his face deathly pallid and full of shock and panic.

He could hardly believe what had just happened. It was déjà vu all over again—he was going to get himself defeated by Xu Que again!

What was even more difficult for him to accept was that it had been only a few days since he had seen Xu Que. How had he achieved Level 9 of the Original Infant Stage at such a terrifying speed?

"It's impossible! It's utterly impossible…" muttered Ye Chang Feng, panting laboriously with a mouth still full of blood.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, there were a few earth-shattering explosions not far away from where Xu Que was standing. He raised his eyebrows as he turned to look in that direction.

Some men and women had appeared, and they landed right next to Ye Chang Feng.

"Ha! So you've found yourself some helpers?" jeered Xu Que with a laugh.

He was not surprised by their sudden appearance at all. Ye Chang Feng was the darling of Jade Sword Sect anyway, and he was quite powerful himself. It wasn't a surprise that he had secretly arranged for some help after entering the Sword Catacomb.

In the World of Cultivators, these guardians were a common sight.

But because of the restriction at the entrance of the Sword Catacomb, any fighters at a higher stage than Infant Transformation Stage wouldn't be allowed entry. This meant that Ye Chang Feng's helpers weren't more than Level 9 Original Infant Stage fighters.

That was why Xu Que didn't panic at all. With his current strength, he could even defeat a Level 8 Infant Transformation Stage fighter easily, so what did he have to fear from these Level 9 Original Infant Stage amateurs?

However, those people didn't wait for Xu Que to open his mouth to mock them. They promptly gave Ye Chang Feng a medicine pill and then locked their ferocious eyes on Xu Que, ready to pounce at him.

One of them was a powerful woman who was the best amongst the other fighters, at Level 9 of Original Infant Stage. She was Ye Chang Feng's personal guardian, and she was deeply enraged by the sight of Ye Chang Feng's heavy injuries.

"Get on your knees and apologize now!" shouted the woman angrily at Xu Que. Her tone was icy cold, and she seemed to be out for blood.

Many of the swordsmen in the crowd were shocked. They had never expected Ye Chang Feng to bring so many guardians with him into the Sword Catacomb undetected.

He would have to wield an extraordinary power to achieve such a feat!

Now all eyes turned automatically to Xu Que. Everyone looked at him, shaking their heads in sympathy.

It's over, Fujiwara! You're doomed!

Xu Que, however, merely smiled politely at the woman.

"Excuse me, madam," he said, "it is my first time in the Sword Catacomb so I'm not quite familiar with all the rules here. I must've accidentally made some mistakes…"

Xu Que abruptly stopped mid-sentence, and the smile on his lips turned into a cold scowl. His eyes suddenly widened in rage and he shouted, "come and beat my ass if you dare, bitch!"

Gasp!

Everyone in the crowd was horrified at the sudden transformation in Xu Que's attitude.

They could hardly believe that this innocent and polite young gentleman could turn into such an arrogant bastard within seconds. He even dared to taunt the guardians who were all very powerful!

Had he lost his mind?

...…

The guardians were even more enraged now. Only one of them remained beside Ye Chang Feng, tending to his wound. The rest all stepped forward and unleashed their powerful swords, all simultaneously charging towards Xu Que.

A group of lions were now pouncing on a rabbit with all their might!

They all knew too that Xu Que's strength was not to be underestimated, so they each use their most powerful moves to besiege Xu Que!

However, Xu Que remained calm and was not the least bit afraid of the oncoming siege. He had every possible move in his arsenal to fight against these bastards. For instance, he could just use Mystical Fire and easily eliminate a few of these fighters without much effort.

He didn't choose to use the Mystical Fire here, though. Instead, he wielded the giant sword proudly in his hand and stormed straight towards the woman who had challenged him.

Obviously, Xu Que was no gentleman. With every swing of his sword, his cuts were neat and precisely on target.

The whole crowd was so shocked by the scene that was unfolding that they could hardly blink!

Because the bastard had very precisely used his sword to cut the female guardian's skirt. It was such a shameless move that was clearly meant to taunt the guardian's anger!

Ah!

At this point, the air in their surroundings grew colder and colder, as if something mysterious was closing in on them.

But none of them noticed it yet.

The female guardian was now blinded by fury, and her face turned bright red!

She had been in the World of Cultivators for so many years, yet she had never encountered anyone who would resort to such a shameless and dirty move!

"You piece of filth! I'll break your bones with my bare hands! You'll fucking die today!" cursed the guardian. The murderous aura in her sword intensified, and she stormed ever more furiously towards Xu Que.

Whoosh!

Xu Que used the Three Thousand Volts Lightning move and dodged the guardian's attack easily. But in the rush to evade the guardian's sword, he accidentally used too much force when he was pulling his sword away from her skirt!

Rip!

A crisp and loud sound of tearing fabric was heard all around, and the guardian's skirt was completely torn off—now her smooth bare legs were completely exposed to the crowd!

The female guardian stopped dead in her tracks!

The other guardians screeched to a halt as well!

Everyone was dumbstruck and could hardly believe their eyes!

Only Xu Que, the one person who had seen much of the world, remained calm and stared at the guardian's white slender legs.

"Wow!" he exclaimed. "It's such a cold day today, and you're not wearing your underpants!"
