880 Opening The Gift Bag Again! (1/2)
It was a horrifying battle.
Xu Que's act of toughness was fluid and effortless; it was so powerful that the mountains split and the earth shook!
Who else in the world was capable of that?
He battled hundreds of enemies alone as a lone cultivator at the Form Synthesis Stage; not only did he execute hundreds of Heavenly Humans at the Crossing Calamity Stage, he even wiped out two powerhouses at the Great Vehicle Stage.
Most important, Xu Que emerged unscathed from the battle. He quickly ended the fight within a few rounds!
”I...I feel like I'm living in a dream!” An Imperial Palace powerhouse murmured in horror. ”It was just too unreal!”
”With such strength, it's no wonder then that he could stand by the Holy Senior's side!”
”In the end, we were the ones who gravely underestimated his ability!”
”Exactly! Moreover, what is this Exploding Heavens Faction? I've never heard of it!”
”Eh? Wait a minute, the Exploding Heavens Faction? Wasn't there a challenge letter sent by, let me think, the Four Great Continents about a year ago? I remember that it was from the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
”Challenge letter?”
”That's right. However, His Majesty took the letter away before I could read it properly. I just saw those three words – Exploding Heavens Faction – at a glance!”
...
Everyone's faces changed all at once, and they looked at Xu Que in disbelief.
The Four Great Continents!
This was an area restricted by shackles. No powerhouses had emerged from the Four Great Continents for many, many years. Cultivators who managed to reach Form Synthesis within their lifetimes were already considered great. How could it possibly nurture a demon like Xu Que?
That went against all their notions that talents are born only in blessed lands!
Swoosh!
Before they knew it, Xu Que had landed.
When faced with the crowd's looks of horror and disbelief, he sighed slightly and shook his head, ”I was too careless, too careless!”
Careless?
What did he mean?
Those from the Imperial Palace and the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion stood in a daze.
Xu Que walked on as he complained, ”What a slip-up! I had wanted to play with the Heavenly Humans for a few days more, but I accidentally got carried away. I would have used just 30 percent, and not 40 percent, of my strength if I had known!” Sigh!
He left for Jiang Hongyan's hiding place in the hole in the tree when he finished speaking, leaving the crowd with just a sight of his back.
Everybody else present was flabbergasted beyond words and almost vomited blood.
He got carried away?
He simply used 40 percent of his strength?
Crap!
Was he lying or speaking the truth?
Everyone could not help but look at each other in utter horror, but not one of them had dared to question Xu Que. At that moment, all they could feel toward Xu Que could be expressed in a single word – fear.
