984 I'sll Kill One For You To See

"What? Can't I even ask for some bone ashes? Is this tiny, tiny request of mine too much to ask?" Xu Que asked while poring blatantly at the middle-aged man.

Everyone present almost bulged their eyes in shock. They all hummed, agreeing in unison. How was his request not too much?

"Not too much, not too much at all!" the middle-aged man immediately slapped his chest and answered unfalteringly, "Big brother, not just bone ashes, I could even get you my ancestor's blood!" 

"Oh? All right then, I'll take some blood." Xu Que smiled.

The middle-aged man stiffened and twitched the top of his lips, wishing to slap himself.

Fuck, why could he not kick the habit of running his mouth?

His ancestors were all reduced to fucking ashes. Where could he get their blood?

"Little fellow, what's the plan? Who should stay behind, you or me?" Jiang Hongyan turned to Xu Que and smiled mildly.

It was apparent that she felt a need for someone to stay behind, to protect Xu Feifei.

"Hehe, you should, of course, leave the heavy lifting to me! Little missy, don't even think of stealing my kill!" Xu Que laughed and narrowed his eyes, directing his gaze towards the Blood Sea in front of them.

At the same time, in the Ghost King Palace in the middle of the Blood Sea.

An old man sat at the high seat in the main hall, his expression gloomy as he grasped the metal handrest tightly with all ten fingers. The handrest had long become deformed.

It was clear that the old man was the master of the Ghost King Palace, the evergreen Gold Level Stronghouse -- Boss Li.

"Rascal! You keep bringing trouble to me all day long! Forget the fact that you guys keep wreaking havoc in the Secon Realm. How dare you provoke the people of the First Realm and lead them here?" Boss Li tore into a younger man as he glared in utmost fury.

Defiance piled up on the young man's face. He answered casually, "Father, it has got nothing to do with me this time, I swear! Those two bitches were obviously after the ultra-rare treasure on me!"

"Hmph! What have you got on you that was worth robbing except for that Magic Fighting Weapon of yours?" scoffed Boss Li.

"Report!"

A sudden holler came from outside the house.

Right after, a guard hurriedly rushed into the house and fell on his knees, trembling in fear, "Master, the First Young Master was beaten up is now in the hands of that scoundrel! That scoundrel seemed to have the strength of a Gold Level fighter. He's in cahoots with those two women!"

"What?" Boss Li jumped from his seat, completely mad, "Scum, how dare he beat my son up at my door? Who is he?"

"I don't know. That man looked young but was almost as strong as a Golden Level fighter. I'm afraid that he might be a genius from the First Realm!" the guard answered fawningly.

"A young genius?" Boss Li paused, and his expression slowly became severe.

If they had offended a longtime Gold Level powerhouse, he could heck it all and just go up against them head to head.

However, if they had offended a young genius, an existence at the Gold Level, it's highly likely that this man might hail from one of the greatest sects of the First Realm!

Should he be slightly careless and anger that great sect and cause them to chase them down as a faction, he would be doomed even if he had two lives!

"This is bad, unfilial sons... ..." Boss Li was beyond angry, yet he could not bear to punch his children for real. He swished his sleeves and huffed, Forget it. Follow me to meet that young fellow. With my reputation, they would need to give me some face."

As he said that, Boss Li made his way out. The young man hesitated for a moment and eventually followed him out.

Soon, the two exited the palace with a few guards. Boss Li waved his hand, and a portion of Miasma atop the Blood Sea fell away almost instantly. The sight cleared up.

He immediately saw Xu Que, Jiang Hongyan and their companions at the other side of the Blood Sea. He called out, "Young man, I am Li Yuan. Which sect or faction are you guys from?"

"Ah, Father, save me, Father! I'm dying!" Before Xu Que could respond, the middle-aged man lying on the ground began to yell heartbreakingly.

"Bam!"

Xu Que exerted more pressure under his feet and gave that middle-aged man a solid stomp. He glared, "Behave, and stop screaming!"

"Ah... ..." the middle-aged man shrieked instantly. He could not hold it in this time, as all bones in his ribs were broken.

"Stop!" Boss Li darkened once he saw what was happening. He warned loudly, "Young man, you'd better not push it. I, li Yuan, is no pushover. Just tell me what you want, and stop tormenting my son."

"Father, stop talking nonsense! Quick, make your second son hand over the bone ashes of our ancestors! This brother here simply wanted some bone ash. We'll just give it to him!" yelled the middle-aged man, unable to wait any longer.

Boss Li was stunned. Bone ash?

What joke was that? How could they hand over the ashes of Li ancestors to an outsider?

"Atrocious! You good-for-nothing son, are you trying to send me to my grave?" Boss Li was immediately enraged as he roared at the middle-aged man, sending him death glares.

The middle-aged son too became anxious and shouted, "Father, it's obvious that my life is more important than a can of bone ashes! I'm about to die here!"

"Die? You won't!" Boss Li yelled, "Young man, I can't possibly hand you the bone ashes of Li ancestors. Name me other conditions!"

"Don't wanna!" Xu Que replied curtly.

A surprised Boss Li took a double-take, as if he heard him wrong, "What?"

Xu Que repeated with an expression of a tsundere, "I don't wanna!"

"... ..."

Boss Li's face darkened visibly.

Everyone else also flinched, unable to formulate a response.

Just say no, please! Why are you acting cute like a tsundere?

"Young man, don't tell me that you truly intend to become arch enemies with the Ghost King Palace? Should my son die, I assure you that the three of you, and those two dogs, will never walk out of the Ghost King Market alive." scoffed Boss Li.

"Fuck!"

All of a sudden, Buttface and the toy poodle flew into a rage.

"Fuck you! Are you blind? I'm a wolf, not a dog!"

"Hell, I'm a snake, a Nine-Headed Gigantic Snake! Not a dog!"

The two dogs screeched angrily, gnarling and snapping loudly.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Wolf? And a snake?

Hell, do they dare to be even more fucking ridiculous?

"All right, all right, stop flaunting that pathetic stuff of yours! Don't be so dramatic, can't you see that we're discussing something serious right now?" Xu Que rolled his eyes. He then stopped Buttface and the toy poodle from snatching his part.

Buttface couldn't swallow the humiliation, "What pathetic stuff? That's my moral stand. I'm a wolf!"

"That's right!" the toy poodle nodded in agreement.

Xu Que ignored them and swept his gaze towards Boss Li, who was standing at the other shore of the Blood Sea. He smiled slightly, "Little Li, don't you know that we, the Heavenly Explosion Faction, are afraid of everything except threats? Eh, what's that expression for? Don't you believe me? Okay, okay, I'll kill one for you to see then!"

The moment he finished his sentence, Xu Que suddenly raised his foot and brought it down heavily towards the middle-aged man's chest.
