Chapter 1492 - An Extraordinary Power?

Chapter 1492: An Extraordinary Power?

Fck, boy, you must be bewitched!
Duan Jiude stared wide-eyed at Xu Que.

Forget bewitchment, Your Holiness can guarantee upon my head that he has absolutely been deceived by the illusion.
Buttface solemnly swore and was very certain.
They had met with the illusion just now, and only Xu Que had been fine after. It was not surprising that now it was Xu Que who had been struck by the illusion.
But the problem was that Xu Que was in the defense mechanism mode of the System and thus could be immune to the illusion for a period of time.
At this moment, he was very sure that the immunity period was not over yet and that it was absolutely impossible for him to have been struck by the illusion. He still unconditionally believed in the System’s words.
However, if that was the case…what was going on here?


Xu Que frowned and directly summoned the System. An idea had come into his mind.
System, check what this piece of black cloth is.

DING!
After testing, the object is a shroud that has absorbed the last wisp of breath from a number of Celestial Primes, and this has given rise to a trace of spiritual intelligence.
The System responded immediately.

It gave rise to spiritual intelligence? Is that an Artifact Spirit? Why am I the only one who can hear her talking?
Xu Que was a little puzzled for the moment.
DING!
Due to the shroud’s insufficient level, it doesn’t have enough spiritual intelligence to develop into an Artifact Spirit. But in various environments, the spiritual intelligence of the shroud has transformed into an existence similar to that of an Artifact Spirit, although far less strong than an Artifact Spirit. It has been described as actually much closer to a ghost as described by mortals. Only a small number of people can perceive her voice.
The System gave a detailed explanation.
Xu Que stared blankly and said,
So, in other words, I belong to a minority of people? Is it because of my inner purity and dashing appearance?

DING!
As your intelligence is higher than the average person’s, you can perceive this kind of voice.
The System replied blandly.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Xu Que immediately laughed out loud.

My intelligence is higher than the average person’s.

Ha, ha, ha, this made sense. With the intelligence of Buttface and Duan Jiude, it was really normal that they couldn’t hear the voice of this piece of black cloth.



Boy, why did you burst out laughing?
Buttface was baffled by Xu Que’s laughter.

It’s over. The illusion is too powerful.
Duan Jiude’s face became grim.

No, no, no, it’s not an illusion but a test of intelligence. Only people with superior intelligence can hear the voice of this piece of black cloth.
Xu Que grinned and looked at Buttface and Duan Jiude. The corners of his lips ticked upward in amusement.
Buttface immediately sneered. He looked toward Duan Jiude with a face full of disdain and contempt.
Duan Jiude was instantly confused. He could understand that Xu Que had looked at him in this way. But what gave Buttface the right?

Damn, Buttface, stop pretending! Can you hear the voice of the black cloth?
Duan Jiude immediately chided him.

Utter nonsense! How do you know that Your Holiness can’t hear it? Your Holiness just doesn’t want to say it, that’s all.
Buttface looked smug.

Fck me, you’re shameless…


Okay, okay, stop making a fuss. Let’s take care of the black cloth first, and then you two can take care of proper business.
When Xu Que saw that the two dunces were about to bicker again, he hurriedly interrupted Duan Jiude’s words.
At the same time, a burst of fire leaped out from his palm. His eyes locked on the black cloth as he calmly smiled,
I’m giving you to the count of three. Hurry up and move aside. Otherwise, I’ll throw a fire at you to burn you up.




No, you horrible people, I’ll never let you hurt my masters,
the female voice behind the black cloth shouted.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and shook his head as he chuckled and said,
Don’t pretend, you devious whre. You weren’t so innocent when you touched me just now. You relied on a broken shroud to grow to this point, but you also dared say that you didn’t absorb the essence of these two dead people?


…..
The black cloth instantly fell silent. It seemed that Xu Que had exposed its true colors, and it somehow didn’t know how to continue.

Hurry up and move aside. To be honest, it has nothing to do with me that you killed these people. I just want to wake up some of the powerful beings inside that room, and then I’ll leave here right away. You don’t have to try to stop me,
Xu Que said with a smile.
Truthfully, he really was finding it very tiresome to deal with the black cloth. All he wanted was just to wake up a few Celestial Kings and then get a reward from the System so that he could immediately get the hll away from here.
However, as he finished talking, the black shroud abruptly emitted a murderous aura. And, with a WHOOSH, it swiftly disappeared.

Huh?
Xu Que frowned. The piece of black cloth was really gone, but something was obviously not right about that murderous aura.
OOWWW!
Almost at the same time, Buttface howled in surprise and suddenly sprang up.
Fck, this black cloth has struck me. Dmn it, she’s sucking the blood of Your Holiness.
Buttface growled and explained what was going on.
Xu Que looked over. The black shroud had completely coiled itself around Buttface’s neck and was hanging there.



It looks like you’re really asking for death.
Xu Que’s face immediately darkened and he snarled in a deep voice.

Oh, you think you can deal with me with the little ability you have? Do you think I only know how to produce illusions? Since the illusions are useless against you, I tried to be nice, but you refused to treat me as an equal. So don’t blame me for making this fierce move.
The female voice in the black cloth cackled in an extremely evil manner.
Xu Que shrugged his shoulders. The source of the black cloth’s spiritual intelligence came from the last breaths of several Celestial Primes. It seemed as if this spiritual intelligence had more or less inherited the inner dark side of these Celestial Prime Elders.
But Xu Que was not inclined to try to eradicate evil. He also couldn’t be bothered dealing with this ridiculous black cloth. But now that the black cloth had messed with them, he just couldn’t take it any longer.

System, turn on the retaliatory mechanism for me and help me get rid of this dmn shroud.
Xu Que had an idea and commanded the System.
The most troublesome thing about the black cloth was that it appeared and disappeared in a completely unpredictable way. It was so fast that he couldn’t capture its tracks.
But under the System’s retaliatory mechanism, there were strong tracking capabilities. Previously, it had been able to locate Li Xuanqi’s Celestial Artifact. Now Xu Que was sure that it would be easy for it to locate the shroud.
DING!
Because the target’s level is so low, it is not recommended to deploy the retaliatory mechanism. The host can use the enforced plunder function. According to the target’s level, only 100 Acting Tough Points will be used up!

The System beep sounded.
Xu Que stared blankly for a second and then asked,
If I deploy the retaliatory mechanism, how long is the whole process expected to take?



DING!
At least 11 seconds!


Well, forget it then. Just use the enforced plunder function,
Xu Que said.
The retaliatory mechanism required ten Acting Tough Points per second, which meant that 110 Acting Tough Points would be used up within 11 seconds. It was ten Acting Tough Points more than the enforced plunder function. Xu Que definitely didn’t want to waste his Acting Tough Points.
BOOM!
Almost instantaneously, an invisible pulling force surged out from Xu Que’s body and instantly swept forward.
The enforced plunder function was an element that the System had had for a long time. But this function didn’t play a big role. It was only able to plunder some low-level things. For example, Living Holy Water could be forcibly obtained using this function.
Now that he had run into some trouble with this piece of black shroud, this enforced plunder function was effective because the black shroud’s level was pretty low.

Ah! What is that? Stop it, I won’t intervene in this matter, quickly stop!
When the power of the System appeared, the black cloth burst out screaming.
Xu Que crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking indifferent.
It’s either that I, the Act-Tough Saint, don’t act, or I do. However, once I make my move, how can you expect me to stop? No way am I going to do that!

HISS!
A crisp sound rang out in the air, and the power of the System forcibly tore the black cloth, ripping it apart in an instant.
AAAHHH!
The female voice of the black cloth gave a piercing scream.
The next moment, only a SWISH! could be heard, and the entire black cloth was swept up in an instant. Xu Que raised his hand and gave a wave. The black cloth was immediately taken in by the System’s storage space and put away in one of its drawers.
Buttface was finally freed and fell on the ground, panting. His face was full of anger as he said,
Oh, let me get my paws on that rag. Your Holiness wants to kill her.


Don’t even think about it. If you had used a little more strength and just waved your paws, she would have already been broken.
Xu Que threw Buttface a contemptuous look.
The physical body of this fool was clearly so strong, but it had been so frightened by a broken shroud that it didn’t dare to fight back. If Buttface had been a bit more courageous he wouldn’t have needed to waste 100 points of his own Acting Tough Points.
DING!
Detecting the Spiritual Intelligence within the shroud. After the System recycles it, the host will acquire an Extraordinary Power. Shall the recycling commence?

Unexpectedly, the System beep rang out in Xu Que’s mind.
Xu Que stared blankly for a moment.
An Extraordinary Power?
