Ultimate Scheming System Chapter 1296 - You Are Sick

RUMBLE! All of a sudden, in this pitch-black place, a huge bang rang out. Then everything started to tremble as if in an earthquake. It was as if the entire G.o.dhead was about to explode.

Xu Que had had no time to flirt with Liu Jingning. He looked up and found b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude were standing near the edge of the Secret Door. Bai Cailing had taken out her white silk scarf again. The scarf was now wrapped in dazzling light, and one end of the scarf was flying toward Xu Que. Apparently, Bai Cailing’s actions and her white silk scarf, which was an Inferior Celestial Artifact, had annoyed the G.o.dhead.

“Oh, no! It is annoyed!” Liu Jingning said seriously. Xu Que frowned and asked, “Does this G.o.dhead have intelligence?”

“I suppose so. When I came into this place, it showed me an image of countless deities fighting desperately. Heaven and the earth were tumbling down. The owner of this G.o.dhead was killed by a divine knife that descended from the sky. I figured out that it was about to devour my soul and Taoist Connotation so that it could grow and resurrect some day in the future!” Liu Jingning explained.

“Is it really so awesome? I didn’t think that it could resurrect with the help of its G.o.dhead after so many years!” Xu Que was surprised by Liu Jingning’s words. This was so horrible. If this G.o.dhead could really resurrect a deity in the future, the Heaven Continent could be ruined or at least be controlled by many deities again. At that time, sects like the Sage Sect or the Heaven Palace Academy would become insignificant ants!

“It might not be as powerful as it thinks. I have a feeling that it will be very difficult for this G.o.dhead to regain its full strength no matter how many people it devours. The quant.i.ty of the Taoist Connotation it needs is humongous!” Liu Jingning shook her head. However, this fact would not prevent this G.o.dhead from devouring them. Even if the chance for resurrection was very slim, the G.o.dhead would continue to devour any soul and Taoist Connotation close to it. When it had acc.u.mulated enough soul and Taoist Connotation, maybe the deity could really be resurrected some day in the future.

“Heh! The more Taoist Connotation it needs, the weaker it is! Little devil, I’m afraid we have overestimated the strength of this G.o.dhead!” Xu Que said with a smile at this moment. He reached out his fingers. Bai Cailing’s white silk scarf was very close to them. Although the scarf was being slowed down, the G.o.dhead was not able to prevent the scarf from moving forward. This meant the G.o.dhead was very frail. It was not as powerful as it looked at all. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be annoyed and it would definitely be able to stop the scarf from moving forward! After all, the scarf was just an Inferior Celestial Artifact. Bai Cailing was just a cultivator at the Heaven Celestial Stage. If a G.o.dhead was not able to subdue her, Xu Que couldn’t be intimidated by it because he knew he still had a slight chance to reverse the tide.

“Are you going to take both of us out with this silk scarf?” Liu Jingning asked, because she had figured out Xu Que’s plan. Xu Que said as he nodded his head, “It is just one step of my plan!”

“A step?” Liu Jingning was surprised. “Does this mean that Xu Que has other targets in mind other than leaving here?” Liu Jingning knew Xu Que well, so as she thought this she wasn’t surprised. Xu Que said nothing. Liu Jingning didn’t make a detailed inquiry either. At this moment, she only hoped both of them could leave this place alive. She didn’t care about all the rest of the issues.

BOOM! As the white silk scarf approached them, this pitch-black s.p.a.ce became more and more shaky. Xu Que and Liu Jingning could sense the fury in this s.p.a.ce, which obviously came from a mighty deity who was annoyed because of the disrespect that was being shown him from some ant-like people. However, the more violent the fury was, the happier Xu Que was. His glowing eyes kept looking around as he waited for his prey like an eagle.

After several seconds, the pitch-black s.p.a.ce of the G.o.dhead was still shaking. The silk scarf controlled by Bai Cailing was still moving forward slowly. Xu Que and Liu Jingning were standing there quietly as they waited for the scarf. They tried to move forward. However, they realized they were getting nowhere. So they just gave up and waited for the arrival of the scarf.

“Do you think it will just let us go like this?” Liu Jingning asked as she looked at Xu Que with concern. Things were going too well, which didn’t conform to her understanding about the deity, even if they were facing a G.o.dhead left by a dead deity.

Xu Que said in a low voice with a smile as he patted Liu Jingning’s head slightly, “Don’t worry! I am waiting for it…” Before finis.h.i.+ng his words, Xu Que squinted as he said with a smile, “Finally, I got you!”

WHOOs.h.!.+ Instantly, he lifted his right foot which was wrapped by dazzling light. Then he used his Act-Tough King’s Leg, which cost him 100,000 Acting Tough Points, to attack a dark area in front of him! RUMBLE! His attack caused an enormous bang in this tight, dark s.p.a.ce. A snapping sound could be heard as if something had been broken by Xu Que’s kick. At that time, a horrible pressure gushed toward Xu Que and Liu Jingning rapidly like raging waves.

“Heh, heh, I was worried I couldn’t find you when you hid yourself. Since you have decided to show up, you must keep your head down in front of me!” Xu Que sneered as he waved his Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod, which was filled with magnificent Celestial Core Power. The rod was trembling and humming violently.

“The first style of Hades Nine Nether Slash, the Immediate Decapitation!” Xu Que shouted as he slashed down with the purple-gold rod in his hand!

The Hades Nine Nether Slash was a magic art obtained by Xu Que together with the Mighty Body in the G.o.d of h.e.l.l’s Realm. It was the G.o.d of h.e.l.l’s famous kill style, which was an advanced magic art at the Moon Rank. As a top-level magic art, it was said that this style could kill anything in this world. When the G.o.d of h.e.l.l’s Mighty Body reached the first rate as he became a deity, this magic art became extremely powerful. Finally, the lethality of this magic art became limitless and only depended on the strength of the user.

Now Xu Que’s Holy Physique had reached the second stage. Although he was not able to unleash the full power of this magic art, his attack would still be extremely lethal when it was enhanced by the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod, which had reached the level of a High-grade Celestial Artifact! Xu Que had never used this magic art before–his most powerful magic art at this period.

BANG! Thickly dotted shadows of the purple-gold rod formed giant shadows in the sky and smashed down with the strength of a river breaking its banks in the nine heavens. Thunderous dull sounds came from the pitch-black s.p.a.ce of the G.o.dhead. The invisible pressure which gushed toward Xu Que was crushed by his attack immediately. The next moment, Xu Que reached out his palm. His arm was wrapped by ice and chilly air. Then he clenched his fist and punched forward heavily. BANG! Along with a dull sound, his attack landed on the pitch-black s.p.a.ce of the G.o.dhead. Suddenly, the pressure vanished in front of him!

“What? It seems as if the Occult and Ghostly Ice Fog Hand is not efficient enough to attack the G.o.dhead!” Xu Que frowned immediately. The Occult and Ghostly Ice Fog Hand was a magic art used to destroy magic artifacts or Celestial Artifacts. But this s.p.a.ce of the G.o.dhead was not an artifact. Therefore, although he used his full strength in the attack of the Occult and Ghostly Ice Fog Hand, it was far less destructive than the attack with the Hades Nine Nether Slas.h.!.+

However, the current situation was quite satisfactory for Xu Que. Although he was not able to eliminate the G.o.dhead completely, he had managed to knock it back with the Hades Nine Nether Slash, which had nicely exceeded his expectations. The result of his attack also confirmed his speculations that this G.o.dhead was weaker than he had expected.

“Little brat, where did you…acquire the slash you used just now?” Liu Jingning asked as she looked at Xu Que in disbelief. Xu Que was surprised, “Why do you ask this?”

Liu Jingning said curiously, “As I said before, this deity…no! This G.o.dhead showed me a scene when I arrived. It had been killed by a deity with this attack style. However, his attack was far more powerful and his weapon was a long knife!”

Xu Que’s eyes got wide when he heard this. What a coincidence! He didn’t expect that the owner of this G.o.dhead had been killed by the G.o.d of h.e.l.l! “Hey, wait a moment! You reminded me that when I used that attack style just now, I felt some fear from this G.o.dhead. I thought it was a misconception. Now, it doesn’t look like it was a misconception!” Xu Que’s eyes lit up with a sinister smile.

“Fear? Do you mean this G.o.dhead is afraid of the attack style you used just now?” Liu Jingning, who was a smart woman, figured out Xu Que’s meaning immediately. Xu Que nodded his head with a smile, “Now, I know why it only showed that scene before its death to you. I guess this was a shadow in its heart which was left when its owner was killed by that long knife!”

“You mean that attack aroused the Inner Demon of that G.o.dhead, right?” Liu Jingning summarized Xu Que’s words in more accurate terms. Xu Que nodded again, “Exactly! You can also call it Inner Demon! In my hometown, it is a disease actually. It even has a scientific term!”

“What is it?” Liu Jingning asked curiously.

“The Knife Phobia!” Xu Que fabricated a name with seeming seriousness.

“The…Knife Phobia? Is there really a disease like this?” Liu Jingning was totally confused and couldn’t understand why such a thing would be called a disease. However, she managed to understand the meaning of this term literally.

“Of course! It is a kind of mental disease. Actually, everyone has mental diseases, including you!” Xu Que said as he looked at Liu Jingning with a smile.

“Me? Mental disease?” Liu Jingning was even more confused.

“Right! You are suffering from Sensory Organ Hysterical Capillary Shuttling Bacillus Trussis Syndrome!”

“Ah? The name is…so long! But I don’t feel any discomfort in my body!”

“It is impossible for you to know you are suffering from a mental disease! Moreover, you are very sick now. Luckily, I am here now. And your disease has already been cured!”

“Ah? Why?” Liu Jingning was totally puzzled. Xu Que said with a smile, as he smoothed out his bangs with his fingers, “Because this disease can also be called love sickness!”

“…..” Hearing that, Liu Jingning was embarra.s.sed! It turned out this guy was making fun of her in a time of crisis! “How could you say I have love sickness? Nonsense!” BANG! Liu Jingning hit Xu Que with her little hand and said snappily as she stared at him, “Little brat, can you please wait to tell your jokes when we leave this place? We are still trapped in it now!”

“I can certainly do that! Also, we have gotten out of this mess now!” Xu Que said as he pointed at the opening at this time. The white silk scarf had stopped in front of them and was close enough for them to touch it. Liu Jingning was surprised because she could now put her heart at rest, “Finally, we can leave this place!”

“No, you leave here first!” Xu Que said with a smile. Then he tied the scarf to Liu Jingning’s slim waist before pus.h.i.+ng her out gently. WHOOs.h.!.+ Liu Jingning was dragged toward the opening by the silk scarf instantly. Liu Jingning shouted in surprise, “Little brat, what are you doing?”

“Heh, heh, just go out first and wait for me! I need to settle accounts with this so-called G.o.dhead now! D*mn! How dare it offend my woman! I will never leave here without punis.h.i.+ng it!” Xu Que sneered as he fixed his eyes at a corner in this place.

Liu Jingning opened her mouth and was about to say something again. However, the silk scarf was moving so fast that she was dragged out of this s.p.a.ce directly. When Liu Jingning landed on the ground, subconsciously she started to run away. b.u.t.tface and Bai Cailing, who were beside her, dragged her back with their Celestial Core Power hurriedly.

“Holy sh*t! Little devil, we got you out with great difficulty. Why do you want to go back into that place again? Wait! Where is Brother Que…ahem, Brother Que’s father?” b.u.t.tface asked in surprise. Liu Jingning, who had come to herself, looked at that pitch-black s.p.a.ce again and found Xu Que was still sitting in there with his legs crossed. She couldn’t help but shake her head with concern, “He said he will come out after settling accounts with that G.o.dhead!”

“Settle accounts with that G.o.dhead?” Hearing that, b.u.t.tface and the rest of the people were shocked. They could easily tell that this pitch-black thing was extremely powerful. Xu Que was lucky enough to have gotten Liu Jingning out. How could he decide to settle accounts with that G.o.dhead? He is definitely awesome!

…..

At the same time, in the pitch-black s.p.a.ce of the G.o.dhead, Xu Que had purchased a long knife from the System store! The Hades Nine Nether Slash was a magic art of the knife. He gave a play of that magic art with his Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod which could enhance the lethality of the magic art as a High-grade Celestial Artifact. However, if his weapon was a knife at the level of the High-grade Celestial Artifact, the lethality of that magic art could be further doubled.

It was a pity that Xu Que didn’t have a knife at that level. He didn’t even have a knife at the level of the Inferior Celestial Artifact. But he didn’t care at all. After putting away the purple-gold rod, he purchased a long knife which was a Ninth Grade Magic Artifact. Then he smiled as he fixed his eyes at a position in this place.

“You are afraid of knives and the Hades Nine Nether Slas.h.!.+ So, I must teach you a lesson today by chopping you with this knife several times!” Xu Que said with a smile. Then he waved the knife in his hand and was about to attack with that magic art.

Suddenly, a Divine Psychokinesis came into Xu Que’s mind. It was a silent Divine Psychokinesis. However, Xu Que could understand the information conveyed by this psychokinesis. “What? You mean you will give me an inheritance and allow me to leave here…if I don’t stab you with my knife, right?” Xu Que was stunned for he didn’t expect this G.o.dhead would be capable of saying that. The next moment, Xu Que answered as he shook his head, “Don’t even think about it! It is impossible! If I can’t stab you to death today, I will change my name!”

WHOOs.h.!.+ The next moment, Xu Que rushed up abruptly. However, after running a few steps, he stopped and opened his eyes wide in surprise. “What? You mean you are going to…”
