The spirit in the stone wall kept cursing him, but Xu Que ignored him and walked swiftly on. At the same time, his mind was preoccupied with the Way of the Sword.
He was basically ignorant on the subject, but one skill he did have was bullshitting. He could probably hoodwink the Sword Spirit without much difficulty.
Even if he failed⊠well, he could always just run away again. Nothing difficult about that.
It was wisest to have an escape route prepared at all times, in case he needed to dash immediately after acting tough!
Unfortunately, the moment he entered the lava cave, he met the group of swordsmen who were about to flee from the Sword Catacomb. The moment both sides noticed each other, everyone stopped running at once.
âFu⊠Fujiwara, why are you back here?â
âLook! Itâs Fujiwara! Heâs back!â
âDidnât he run away? Whatâs he doing coming back?â
The swordsmen were all shocked at the sight of Xu Que returning to Sword Catacomb.
They just couldnât understand why heâd be back.
Could it be that he was just pretending to run away?
Xu Que smiled and calmly said, âYes, Iâve come back. Iâve said it beforeâwhen in the face of danger, one must be brave and try to overcome it. One mustnât be bowed by the problems one encounters! I, Takumi Fujiwara, am the god of cars in Akihabara, how could I let a little danger scare me away? I was also afraid that you might be in danger, so Iâve come back to rescue you.â
âHuh?â
The crowd was too confused to respond.
He was worried that we might be in danger, so he came back to save us?
Wait, wait⊠thatâs not right!
This Fujiwara isnât that kind, honest and innocent young man that the Sword Spirit once praised!
Weâll be fools if we believed him! No wonder his words sound really fake!
If they hadnât seen the cold and cruel side of Xu Que, the group would have still believed Xu Queâs words. They might have even been moved to tears by them.
But now that they had seen Xu Queâs true shameless self, the group just couldnât believe that he had come back to save anyone!
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the lava caveâs passageway and the ground rumbled once again.
Obviously, the Sword Spirit had detected the remnant of his soul on Xu Que and had come back to find him again.
The group of cultivators turned pale.
âThis sounds bad, letâs get out of here!â
âWait!â shouted Xue Que, waving his hand at the cultivators.
âDonât be afraid. You donât have to leave. I can handle this!â
The group was stunned.
He could handle it? Could they trust him? The black fog looked immensely powerful, could this idiot actually even stand against it once it arrived, let alone handle it?
Xu Que stayed calm and placed his hands behind his back as he stood his ground. His clothes fluttered in the gentle breeze and he was full of confidence!
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Sword Spirit turned into a black fog with the outline of a ferocious beast. It rushed out of the passageway and appeared before everyoneâs eyes.
It had a thick, murderous aura and an imposing manner, and the black fog charged directly at Xu Que.
Xu Que glared at it and shouted, âDao can be spoken, but it may not be the eternal Dao! Sword Spirit, do you know what the Way of the Sword is?â
Xu Queâs voice was full of strength and power, it was as domineering as booming thunder. Everyone was shocked.
Even Xu Que was quite proud of himself. Ha! He had given himself 99 points out of a hundred, with that one point symbolizing room for improvement.
He was sure that by reciting words from the Book of Taoism, he would surely impress the Sword Spirit. Now, surely, it must be rushing to Xu Que to ask for his guidance and make him read out more passages, right?
In Xu Queâs view, the most compelling and impressive words were certainly those that were hard to pronounce and indecipherable. There always seemed to be great universal truths hiding in simple lines of the book. In fact, those suave protagonists from the novels heâd read had always used those lines to appear wise and imposingâŠ
Roarrrr!
The Sword Spirit didnât even pause, it rushed on like mad and headed towards Xu Que at top speed.
âWhat the fuck? It didnât work? Those novels have been filled with fucking lies! My friends, I must excuse myself now. Please donât forget to have courage!â
So Xu Queâs big plan hadnât worked. His eyes opened wide in shock for a moment and soon enough, he bolted.
If you failed to act tough, then you had to run immediately. Otherwise⊠you would be dead!
Xu Que then used the teleportation spell and focused on making his escape!
After a while, he managed to escape again!
Boommm!
The Sword Spirit burst out of the ground, leaving a giant pit in his trail.
Everyone was so frightened that their faces had turned deathly pale. They were all frozen to the spot, so scared that they couldnât even move!
Fuck you, Fujiwara!
Didnât you say that you knew how to handle the dark fog?
Now youâre running away again! What was going to happen to us now?
âŠâŠ
At the same time, Xu Que reappeared outside of Sword Catacomb.
This time he was furious. Who wouldâve imagined that his big plan wouldnât work?
Fine, then, Sword Spirit! At the end of the day, youâre just a kind of soul, anyway! This time Iâll go back and attack you with my ultimate move!
After serious contemplation about how to counterattack the Sword Spirit, Xu Que once again made up his mind⊠to complete this tough acting!
He activated the Three Thousand Volts Lightning and headed back towards Sword Catacomb once again.
The people outside the Sword Catacomb saw him and rushed towards him. They all fixed their eyes upon him.
Xu Que stayed calm and expressionless.
âEh? Why are there so many people here? Has anyone seen my two brothers Takumi Fujiwara and Naruto Fujiwara enter the Sword Catacomb? Iâm Pooper FujiwaraâŠâ
The crowd outside the Sword Catacomb was speechless for a while. They were seeing Xu Que outside the Sword Catacomb again, and he had even made up such a ridiculous name for himself. They couldnât believe how shameless he was.
Pooper Fujiwara? Pooper your ass! What idiot would give their child a name like that?
At that moment, no one bothered to say a word anymore, they just resorted to using force instead!
âThe bastardâs out here again, there must be another way to exit the Sword Catacomb!â
âQuick! Grab him! We must interrogate him!â
âCharge!â
Then the whole crowd all rushed towards Xu Que.
âHey, hey, hey, hey⊠you barbarians! You fucking savage animals! Donât blame me if I, Pooper Fujiwara, use my powers on you!â
Xu Que then shook his head and didnât look at anyone at all. He just unleashed a lightning bolt out of his hand and compressed it into a ball of lightning.
âIâll fry you all with this lightning ball!â he yelled.
The giant lightning ball flashed into the crowd, then instantly hurtled towards the entrance of the Sword Catacomb, taking Xu Que with it. He surpassed the restrictive law as he had an ancient sword with him.
This time he was a man on a mission and he didnât want to waste any time. When he passed the stone wall, he didnât wait for the spirit to open its mouth, he just slashed his sword at the tongue.
âOw, ow, ow, ow⊠fuck you, you little piece of scum! Iâll curse you! Ow! That really hurt!â shouted the spirit.
But Xu Que was already gone.

He went back to the lava cave. Those cultivators were still inside, not daring to move.
Boommmm!
The Sword Spirit once again sensed Xu Que, and in an instant, he went mad again and the dark fog rushed towards him.
âSon of a bitch! Letâs try again! This time youâll fall for my trick!â Xu Que shouted.
Then he smiled and pulled out a zither from his storage in the system and placed it on his legs. His ten fingers gleamed brightly with his true strength, and they then went on to dance on the strings of the instrument!
