Ultimate Scheming System Chapter 855 - You Can’t Do Anything About Me!

“Wei Zixun, undo this spell immediately! It’s an order!”

Jiang Hongyan glared coldly at the white-clad man, her face icy. At that very instant, her indisputable tone and regal verve stumped everyone. Such is the verve of the Empress of no equal of her time – even a single sentence was powerful enough to intimidate the crowd.

However, people were most startled about why the Empress behaved like that. From what they remembered of her, the Empress was always composed; no matter what happened, she would be as calm as still water. There was a sense of distance about her, an unapproachable remoteness, but never had she been this a.s.sertive!

Now, she had become thunderous for the first time, all for a young man in the Form Synthesis Stage. To think that she would order around the Young Master of the Saint Palace, her fiance, in such a tone!

Not only was everyone shocked, so was Wei Zixun. He had never seen the Empress like this.

“Holy Senior, you,…” he said in disbelief, seemingly wanting to ask her why.

Swoos.h.!.+

Before he could finish, Jiang Hongyan had thrown out a wisp of golden glow. The glow swiftly condensed into a sword in mid-air, its tip pointing directly at Wei Zixun’s throat. It was a scene that not anyone had ever expected to see.

Orders aside, did she seriously execute a spell to threaten the Young Master?

Wei Zixun was unsettled and jittery, but he also wanted Xu Que to die in the battle. He answered coolly, “Holy Senior, don’t tell me that you want to kill me? Have you forgotten about our engagement?”

It was evident that he did not believe that Jiang Hongyan would dare to attack him.

However, once he had finished talking, Jiang Hongyan swept her golden sword toward Wei Zixun’s throat without hesitation.

Whiz!

Wei Zixun immediately retreated as quick as lightning. Horror and incredulity filled his face! Everyone else, including those from the Saint Palace and the Imperial Palace, stirred in fright. The Empress tried to kill the young master of the Saint Palace?

“What…what’s going on?”

Those from the Imperial Palace stood blankly at a loss, as they wondered who they should support later on.

“Holy Senior, pardon me for being direct, but what’s the meaning of this?” Wei Zixun asked chillingly as his expression darkened.

Just now, he had felt Jiang Hongyan’s sword going in for the kill. If not for his strength and immediate reaction, he would have died there on the spot!

“If he dies, I’ll make sure that you’ll be next!” Jiang Hongyan answered. Her frosty expression sent many s.h.i.+vers down everyone’s spines.

Especially so when she said “you’ll be next”– many knew better than to take that as just a verbal threat and immediately believed that she would walk the walk.

Wei Zixun’s handsome face had become somewhat distorted and stormy. Anyone with functioning eyes could see how furious he was. As the young master of the Saint Palace, he was almost on a par with the Empress in terms of status. Moreover, she was his fiancee! However, for another man, the Empress had wanted to kill him without any hesitation. Every man would find that unbearable!

“Well, since the Holy Senior has given an order, why are you guys still standing there stunned? Release the spell!” Eventually, Wei Zixun flung back his sleeves and instructed his men angrily.

The crowd broke into a commotion. Followers of the Saint Palace immediately reacted, “Young master, Holy Senior, this…this will not do!”

“The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes have all been drawn out. Should we undo the spell, we would have no way to escape in the face of the mosquitoes!”

“Besides, the spell is easy to start but difficult to end. It would take us at least an hour!”

“I’m afraid that by the time we undo the seal, the young man will already be dead. Please, Holy Senior, we implore you to retract your order!”

“Please retract your order” People in the Imperial Palace shouted in unison.

“c.r.a.p! Why did you seal the spell so quickly then? That kid had time to escape but fell into your trap. Don’t you have any shame? How can you still have the cheek to say such words?” b.u.t.tface jumped up and accused angrily.

People’s faces turned slightly peculiar. True enough, with Xu Que’s speed, it was entirely possible for him to make it out. However, Young Master Wei had ordered them to seal off the formation right away. Who would dare to defy him?

“Forget it, forget it! What’s done is done. I’ve seen through your true colors; all of you are cruel and merciless to the point that it is shameful! Quick, pay me a couple of million best-grade spirit stones as compensation!” b.u.t.tface demanded as he held out his paws to the crowd.

The people’s eyes all opened wide.

“What are you waiting for? Why are you all staring at me? I am about to lose a good brother. Shouldn’t you guys offer some compensation?” b.u.t.tface said indignantly.

The crowd’s mouths twitched uncomfortably. They were rendered speechless. They had thought that this dog was loyally protecting its master, but it turned out that he was trying to grab the chance to blackmail them! d.a.m.n, this is one immoral and shameless dog!

Boom!

Just then, the swarm of Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes had gushed out from the cave like a surge of a flood. The way they densely covered such a large area sent s.h.i.+vers down their spines.

Xu Que stood beside the mountain wall. His position was good enough to avoid being swarmed by the Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes, but the appearance of the mosquitoes still blocked everybody’s sight of him.

The people outside the formation immediately lost sight of him and shook their heads.

“Holy Senior. As you can see, I’ve instructed my people to release the spell, but it’s already too late!” Wei Zixun said in a low voice, but there was pleasure in his eyes. Although he had not known who Xu Que was, he wanted to mutilate Xu Que into thousands of pieces when he saw Xu Que’s importance to Jiang Hongyan. Now, seeing Xu Que’s figure surrounded by the demonic mosquitoes, he’s very sure that Xu Que would never survive. It was exhilarating!

Sigh “He has only got his greed to blame!”

“That’s right! Holy Senior, such a man is not worthy of your salvation!”

“Even the young master could not face those things head on, but he rushed in immediately. He’s just courting death!”

“Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Those who are impulsive will eventually pay for their recklessness.”

People in the Saint Palace were not afraid of Jiang Hongyan. They served merciless words, one after another, at those they believed to have fallen.

Wei Zixun looked at Jiang Hongyan coldly and mocked, “You can save a useless b.u.m like him once, but you can’t save him forever!”

Whiz!

A ma.s.sive number of golden rays immediately flared on top of Jiang Hongyan’s hands, as many golden swords turned into an arc, aiming right for Wei Zixun.

“What do you think you’re doing?!” Wei Zixun was outraged and finally lost his composure.

“I’ve said that if he dies, you’ll be next!” Jiang Hongyan said expressionlessly. With eyes full of slaughter, she directly brought down the blade onto Wei Zixun, fully intending to kill him.

Boom!

Everyone felt a sudden, huge crash originating from the spell formation. The crash startled everyone. Even Jiang Hongyan stopped and looked toward the spell. All they could see was a humongous golden fist, crus.h.i.+ng numerous Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes as it swung across the sky.

Xu Que’s figure reappeared in front of the crowd. He had a faint smile on his lips and was full of ruffian spirits. He seemed not at all panicked as he stood engulfed by that scary swarm of mosquitoes.

“Take it easy, Little Miss. I won’t die that easily!”

Xu Que smiled slightly and looked at the mosquitoes as dense as clouds. “Just a small group of tiny mosquitoes. You can’t do anything about me!”

With that, he waved his hand suddenly and pulled out something short but thick from his crotch! It was a green bottle.

“Behold, the Exploding Heavens Faction’s Ultimate Invincible Six G.o.ds Floral Water!”

Swoos.h.!.+

The whole bottle flew into the air and poured itself over Xu Que’s head, sprinkling the liquid all over his body! Within seconds, a strong yet mildly cooling fragrance permeated the whole area.

“b.u.t.tface, put on the background music!” Xu Que yelled.

b.u.t.tface quickly came to his senses. He immediately pulled out the recorder and flipped the switch on with a click!

Boom!

Everyone looked on stupefied as all the mosquitoes fell into chaos. They seemed to encounter something terrifying as they scattered around, and even made an empty pa.s.sage for Xu Que.

Xu Que put his hands leisurely behind him and walked out confidently. With a radiant smile, he walked out of the many mosquitoes, as if he was strolling in the garden in beautiful weather, unfazed and at ease.

At the same time, pa.s.sionate and hot-blooded music rang out!

“How lonely it is, lonely it is, to be invincible!”

“How empty it is, empty it is, to be invincible!”

“I stand alone on the peak, as the cold wind keeps was.h.i.+ng over me!”

“My loneliness, who could understand me….”
