Ultimate Scheming System

“Brother Xu, your momentum is strangely familiar.”

“Sh*t! The kid who terrorized everybody back in the day has returned. I’m so excited!”

Buttface and Duan Jiude’s eyes opened wide as they looked at Xu Que.

They couldn’t understand it, but they could see a change in Xu Que, as if he had gone back to the time when he was in the Five Elements Mountain and the Four Great Continents. His indomitable will, his self-confidence, and his contempt for the powerful were just like they had been previously.

It didn’t matter how strong anyone’s cultivation level was. They would all become his prey. Buttface and Duan Jiude had no doubt that even if a Celestial Emperor appeared in front of them now, Xu Que, in his present state, wouldn’t flinch from engaging him in combat.

BOOM!

Suddenly, there was an explosion in the sky. Xu Que broke through the sound barrier and turned into a ghostly image. The Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod that he held in his hand sliced through the air.

HMPH! “You’re a beast. Go ahead and die!”

The two Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect muttered disdainfully, while at the same time, their expressions remained extremely wary.

No matter how much they looked down on Xu Que, a trivial Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, it was obviously undeniable that Xu Que had killed Li Xuanqi right here in front of their eyes.

His terrifying strength had forced both of them to take him very seriously, and they even began to doubt whether perhaps there had been a miscommunication about the previous conflict that had taken place in Tian Sha City.

Maybe this kid, Xu Que, had really gotten the best of the ten Celestial Kings who he’d killed during the first war. Perhaps it wasn’t true what the gossip had related: Xu Que’s victory hadn’t been accomplished by completely relying on the Heavenly Tribulations.

WHOOSH!

In that instant, the two Celestial Kings started shape-shifting, and their bodies soon turned into two plumes of green smoke, which then turned tail and fled the area.

BOOM!

Almost at exactly the same time, Xu Que’s halberd landed, blasting the original location where the two Celestial Kings had been standing just a minute ago into a void that burst into flames.

“What a powerful attack!”

“As expected, he has cultivated some Celestial Arts. How could a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven obtain Celestial Arts? Combined with the weird High-Grade Celestial Artifact that he has, he indeed has strength equal to those Celestial Kings who were in the first war.”

The two Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect, with serious expressions on their faces, reappeared in the sky not too far away, deep in conversation.

From what they could ascertain from their first-hand view of things, they were quite sure that Xu Que’s strength was far beyond anything that they had expected. Indeed, his attributes could really be comparable to that of a Celestial King.

“Hey, you don’t know anything about my power! The first war? Wrong. What I have is the power to kill you.” Xu Que yelled scornfully, and the halberd in his hand suddenly shook. The outer metal blocks started to dissociate again and became suspended around the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod.

Under the System’s revenge mechanism, Xu Que’s body was completely controlled throughout, but he never lost control of his mind. Whenever Xu Que thought of a correct combat strategy, the System would follow his lead.

This was sort of like when a child has just learned to write. In order to practice good handwriting, adults would hold their hands and teach the children how to write the correct characters.

This was just like what Xu Que was doing at this moment. The System showed him the correct combat strategy and helped him to control the new Celestial Arts and the metal fighting method in the shortest amount of time.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

This time the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod had turned into a real gun, one that could shoot real bullets.

“Sh*t! It’s an AKM!” Buttface shouted disbelievingly.

“What is an A…K…M?” Duan Jiude looked confused.

All the onlookers stood watching Xu Que in horror.

Although the gun held by Xu Que looked strange, they all felt as if it was slightly familiar. It seemed to be just like the firearms that the mortals used in their wars.

“You’ll never understand, only a PUBG expert like I am would know about this.” Buttface had a proud look on his face. It was evident that he had been an avid player of PUBG while he had been on Earth.

“Oh my, you’re so mysterious, you want to try to kill me with just one firearm?” The elder woman Celestial King from the Sage Sect sneered disdainfully.

She had expected that Xu Que would change the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod into something grand, but she had never expected it to be a firearm. Even if this was on a Celestial Artifact level, it was no cause for panic.

No matter how fast a firearm fired a bullet, how could it be faster than the speed of a Celestial King?

“So you don’t think I can?” Xu Que smiled.

This AKM had not resulted from a change dictated by the System, but was rather a transformation that Xu Que had thought of, based on his own imagination. When the System had determined that it was indeed feasible, the System had adapted to Xu Que’s combat strategy.

SLAP!

The next moment, Xu Que raised the AKM. With its long-range scope, the targets, which were the two Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect, were instantly enlarged to four times bigger than what the eye could see.

Xu Que didn’t hesitate and immediately pressed the trigger.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

With a series of loud, harsh sounds, myriad metal bullets shot through the air, penetrating the void and heading straight toward the two Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect.

“Oh no!”

The two Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect looked panicked and started to flee.

They were very shocked to find that this firearm was different from what they had been expecting. The firearms that mortals normally used needed time to reload after firing a bullet, leaving them vulnerable.

However, the AKM that Xu Que was using to try to kill them was able to rapidly fire out bullets. Even though the speed of the Celestial Kings was very fast and could escape one or two bullets, they couldn’t escape 30 or 40 bullets.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Hearing the sound of the bullets passing so close to them, the two Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect went numb.

Then the two Celestial Kings started shaking like leaves. If all of these bullets landed on them, it would be enough to destroy their bodies and end their lives.

“This little beast with his weird Celestial Artifact is too cunning. It’s not suitable to engage in close combat with him.”

“Yes, we better get out of here so that we can develop a strategy to help us avoid these weird weapons!”

The two Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect started secretly transmitting messages to each other, and soon they evacuated at the same time.

They regarded bullets as some kind of hidden weapon, and they didn’t want to face them head-on. They decided to use their magic from a distance to try and suppress Xu Que.

After all, once the distance between them increased, it would be harder for Xu Que to aim at them. Also, as the bullets were traveling farther, the time required would also increase accordingly. Even if it was only for one second, it would be enough time for the two Celestial Kings to react and avoid the bullet.

Obviously, their decision was correct!

The two quickly retreated and increased the distance between them and Xu Que. They shifted their bodies and dodged continuously in the air. This made it difficult for Xu Que’s bullets to focus on a single spot and for the muzzle to target them.

“Ha, ha, ha, little fellow, it’s time to take out the 98K, which has a scope that’s eight times stronger than the naked eye.” At this moment, Buttface laughed loudly, trying to look as if he was very wise, and it was true that he did stand out among the confused looks of everyone else.

“98K?” Xu Que smiled slightly and shook his head. “No, the 98K is not enough.”

“Then what do you want to use? An AWM?” Buttface stared at Xu Que with a blank look.

CLANG!

Almost simultaneously, the metal blocks on the AKM gun in Xu Que’s hand dissociated again and quickly rearranged themselves to form a long, black metal gun. Its shape was much thicker than the AKM, and the huge black muzzle made everyone’s hearts jump in fear!

“Sh*t!” Buttface shouted immediately. “It’s a heavy rifle: a Barrett!”
