1235 Brothers! (1/2)
Bam!
The Confucian in white had failed to avoid the punch. He was hit hard on the corner of his mouth, his lips torn up by contact with his teeth, and blood spurted out. The Confucian in white hadn't expected Xu Que to suddenly attack him. But, regardless, Xu Que's speed was too fast and his strength was beyond the Confucian's imagination. The punch froze the Confucian in white for an instant. It was difficult for him to realize what had happened.
After all, he had the first-rate Hell King's Prison Suppression Physique. Although the Mighty Body was very strong, Xu Que's present Mighty Body was only second-rate. According to his understanding, the second-rate Mighty Body and first-rate Hell King's Prison Suppression Physique should be the same. However, the current outcome shocked him. Was there such a huge discrepancy between the second-rate Mighty Body and the first-rate Hell King's Prison Suppression Physique? Unless...
”Bu…Buddy Xu, your physical body, I'm afraid you've surpassed the Mighty Body!” The Confucian in white looked at Xu Que in horror. Unless Xu Que's current Mighty Body was far beyond the original Mighty Body, it was impossible to have such an immense speed and strength. It was simply frightening!
”Uh, I think so, to be honest, I didn't expect that punch to be so powerful!” Xu Que was somewhat in a daze. A short while ago, he had punched without using any Celestial Core Power. He had not expected that he would achieve such a feat merely with the use of his physical body. If he had met a cultivator who hadn't refined his physical body, that punch would have smashed and exploded his head.
”Buddy Xu, this may have something to do with the Chaotic Qi you've added. It has completely raised the Mighty Body to a new level. Could it be that you have been promoted to the rumored Holy Physique?” The Confucian in white shook his head immediately and said, ”No, the Holy Physique has always been just a kind of myth and speculation. No one has ever reached the level of a Holy Physique, but your current state is pretty odd. The fact that a second-rate Mighty Body could actually injure someone like me in the first-rate Hell King's Prison Suppression Physique—it really shouldn't be like this!”
The Confucian in white was deep in contemplation and he couldn't figure out the reason for Xu Que's enormous strength. After all, although the first-rate Hell King's Prison Suppression Physique was derived from the Mighty Body of Hades, its actual level wasn't too low. There was no reason for such a big discrepancy to exist.
”Holy Physique? Is there a higher level of existence than the Mighty Body?” Xu Que also pondered it.
”Uh, wait, no!” Just then, the Confucian in white seemed to have thought of something, and he instantly stared at Xu Que, ”We can talk about the physical body later. The issue now is who gave you the right to punch me for no reason?”
”Uh, ya right!” Xu Que collected himself. Why did he punch him, oh yes, he remembered!
His expression darkened and he pointed to the Confucian in white and said, ”You old cunning *sshole, the Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect, are you aware of the conflict between the Exploding Heavens Faction and the Equipment Refining Sect? We are arch-enemies. As the saying goes, destroy the leader and the gang will collapse. Since you're the Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect, what's wrong with me killing you first?”
”Arch-enemies?” Suddenly, the Confucian in white frowned and said, ”Although the Equipment Refining Sect was already strong thousands of years ago, after all, it's only a society. It doesn't belong to any major forces, nor does it interfere in the power struggle of all forces. Why would we become the nemesis of the Exploding Heavens Faction?”
”Ha, ha, that was thousands of years ago. Now, the Equipment Refining Sect is formidable. They've extended their power into many things. And the reason why I am here is because they sent three King Refiners of the Inferior Artifact to pursue me. They're absolutely shameless!” Xu Que sneered.
Of course, he omitted explaining how the conflicts were accumulated between the Equipment Refining Sect and him. After all, at first it was really his fault, but that was just a misunderstanding. Both the Equipment Refining Sect and Xu Que didn't want to embarrass themselves. And because of that misunderstanding, the Equipment Refining Sect wanted to annihilate him. While Xu Que wanted to Act Tough and prove them wrong, the misunderstanding became increasingly serious. Eventually, they became arch-enemies.
”What? The bunch of little b*stards has been so bold that they even forgot the mission of the Equipment Refining Sect. Absurd!” When the Confucian in white heard Xu Que, his expression was filled with rage.
He was the authentic Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect. He had always acted in accordance with the mission of the Equipment Refining Sect. The existence of the Equipment Refining Sect was to cultivate and protect Equipment Refining Masters. They mustn't intervene in the struggle for power of all forces. Otherwise, what was the difference between them and the other factions—fighting for power and money under the name of protecting the Equipment Refining Masters? This was against the mission of the Equipment Refining Sect, which was set up by the pioneers.
”Yo, in that case, you're different from them?” Xu Que raised his eyebrows and asked.
