Chapter 212: I Throw This Bolt Of Lightning At Your Mum!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Sou!
The three colored fiery lotus shot into the air, and moved graciously like a leaf floating above the surface of water.
The Fire Emperor took the form of a large, majestic golden dragon in the air. It produced a terrifying aura around it as it soared towards Xu Que.
At this point, the three colored fiery lotus appeared right before his eyes.
Everyone's eyelids jumped. Compared to the Fire Emperor's Flaming Dragon, Xu Que's three colored lotus couldn't really compare in fearsomeness. Could the fiery lotus really survive the Fire Emperor's skill?
At the next moment, the fiery lotus exploded!
The three colored mystical flames ejected out of the lotus in sync, causing an immense explosion.
The power emanating from the explosion was at least 30 times stronger than his Killer Book with full Glory!
"Boom!"
The skies erupted in terrifying explosions as though it was about to swallow the heavens along with it.
The Fire Emperor's body had been completely engulfed in flames, with him being right in the middle of it all. A huge ripple of energy coursed out from the epicenter as it dispersed through the skies.
The shockwave from the blast richoted throughout the entire land. The imperial palace was swaying from the impact of the blast while the ground beneath cracked.
Even Xu Que wasn't expecting such power from the three colored lotus. The shockwave was sent out in all directions for several hundred meters.
Emerging out from the explosion, the Fire Emperor was falling uncontrollably from the skies before he landed on the roof, directly atop the throne room.
"Boom!"
The gold plated rooftop of the palace couldn't handle the immense size and weight of the Fire Emperor who had taken the form of a huge dragon. A large crater formed within the roof and broke through, causing the Fire Emperor to fall right through into the throne room. When he landed, a loud crash could be heard.
The explosion was still chaining out in rapid succession, causing huge fiery ripples to crumple within the skies, painting the entire sky a bright shade of red.
The people on the ground were astonished by this sight.
A single lotus stalk could cause such devastating damage and immense strength! Even someone as powerful as the Fire Emperor was sent flying!
This… This was truly something that could destroy the heaven and earth!
"It's too scary. The Fire Emperor is at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage and yet he was unable to defend himself successfully against the lotus!"
"What kind of fire was that? It even caused the air around to burn and contort!"
"A youth of the Original Infant Stage could muster such a powerful spell? Could it truly be given to him by Duan Jiu De?"
"But is Duan Jiu De really that powerful?"
"If he had directed that terrifying energy towards the ground, the entire Imperial Palace would explode and collapse!"
Many of them were beyond afraid and they felt like their hearts were about to jump out through their throats!
The Flaming Sun Princess and the rest outside the throne room watched on in utter disbelief with their eyes wide open.
To them, the most powerful cultivator they knew was the Fire Emperor who was of the Infant Transformation Stage level six. However, he had been defeated just like that!
That Xu Que… Truly, how strong is he?
The few of them turned to look into the throne room. The Fire Emperor's body had broke right through the ceiling and even caused a huge crater on the ground. Furthermore, rocks and debris were strewn all around!
What was most scary was that the Fire Emperor didn't budge an inch as he remained lying down on the ground!
"How… How's this possible?" Concubine Fantasy's face turned pale as she cried out.
Someone as awe inspiring and powerful as the Fire Emperor couldn't even endure this blow? Has he suffered such severe injuries that he had passed out as a result?
The few of them looked at the Fire Emperor and were appalled. A certain sense of dread and fear overwhelmed them.
As for Xu Que, he had already flown back and was hovering over the throne room.
Earlier on, even he was thrown back in a short distance from the impact but wasn't hurt at all. His face was filled with smiles as the system rang out consecutively within his head, telling him of the amount of act tough points he had earned.
At this point, he shouted out in an exaggerated voice once again, "Dog Emperor, come on out!"
"Are you afraid? But that was only just a warm up!"
"Quickly come out and fight it out with me! Fuck, I haven't even activated my true powers yet!"
"Come, come, come... If you come out now, I shall give you a handicap... I shan't use my legs!"
"Hello, hello, hello... Is anyone there? Hurry up, won't you? If you don't, the sun is going to set!"
Xu Que's voice was very sonorous and it was filled with confidence as it echoed across the walls of the palace.
Everyone's lips twitched into a snarl. Damn it, must you be so dramatic?
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, there was finally some reaction from within the throne room as a loud sound rang out. The Fire Emperor's body shot up from within the room and back into the skies as killing intent surrounded him once more.
However, the Emperor was in an extremely poor shape right now.
His lips were stained with blood and the expensive and immaculate looking set of dragon embroidered robes had become tattered and torn from the force of the blast.
"Hssss!" The crowd inhaled deeply as they were astounded to see their monarch in such a pathetic state!
Besides, that set of dragon robe was a Six Star magical weapon yet it's been destroyed!
Even those people who were standing extremely far away from the point of impact could feel the terrifying power of the three colored lotus. Indeed, everyone had underestimated its capabilities!
The fiery lotus had exploded right in front of the Fire Emperor which meant that he had absorbed the full impact of the blast. If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation level was very high, along with the dragon robes which helped to absorb some damage as well as the Imperial Qi which protected him, he would've turned into ashes!
And yet he was still alive. The formless Imperial Qi which protected him meant that he was undefeatable here within the domains of the palace.
"Looks like the Fire Emperor has wasted a considerable amount of Imperial Qi!"
"The source of this Imperial Qi comes from the Imperial Tombs which was located on top of the dragon veins. The Imperial Qi also represents the prosperity of the nation. Strong Imperial Qi meant that the nation was doing well and its people were protected. However,in this battle, the Fire Emperor used a significant amount of Imperial Qi to protect him."
"Do not forget that within the Imperial Tombs, there are several generations of previous Emperors who are in deep sleep. Even though they've been in hibernation for a long time, they can still defend the integrity of the Fire Nation!"
"Don't underestimate the Emperor, for he has many more tricks up his sleeves. That was to be expected of someone from the royal family!"
Everyone broke out in hushed discussion.
Indeed, the Fire Emperor hovered in mid air. His face was downcast but he stared at Xu Que and laughed out, "You cannot kill me. I am ordained by the heavens as your Emperor. No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to destroy my body. And now, it's my turn to strike!"
As soon as his words landed, the Fire Emperor waved his clenched fist, causing the ground beneath the palace to tremble. Stones and debris flew in all directions as an unspeakable wave of power seemed to roil from underground. When it finally emerged, the energy surrounded his body!
"This…"
Flaming Sun Princess and the rest of them watched the situation with their eyes wide open. "Father is using the hundred year old Imperial QI. This… This would cause our Fire Nation to become weaker since he was drawing the ancient energy!"
"Fire Emperor has already made up his mind to kill Xu Que despite the cost!" Zi Xuan shouted out.
Indeed, Xu Que who was hovering in the air laughed out, his lips curled into a snarl, "Dog Emperor, are you going to show me yet another ultimate skill? Come, come, come.. This time, I shall let you eat some of my Monkey Blocks Lightning skill!"
As soon as he said this, he raised his palms to the skies. Immediately, it started to rumble as streaks of lightning appeared!
"Weng!"
A sharp sound rang out which shattered the silence and pierced through the air. At the next moment, frenzied rays of electricity started to form on Xu Que's palms as it became bigger!
Everyone watched on in amazement.
This… This kid has so many spells. He really has an arsenal of weapons to choose from!
And isn't he a citizen of the Fire Nation? How could he exhibit such powerful looking lightning spell? And it feels so powerful even from here!
The Fire Emperor's expression fell as well. Even he was astonished. It was hard for him to believe that within a year, this person had improved so rapidly.
What have you gone through to become so strong?
"Boom!"
"I throw this bolt of lightning at your mum!"
(T/N: Or can also be "Fuck your mum!")
At this point, the lightning arcs within his hands had increased in size, such that it was as huge as his body. He then tossed the entire ball of electric energy towards the Fire Emperor!
"Ignorant little worm!"
The Fire Emperor cleared his throat as he clapped his hands gently. The Imperial Qi which had been seeping out from the cracks in the ground immediately formed a wall of energy which can defend him from any projectiles.
At that moment…
A loud "boom" rang out as the huge ball of electrical energy appeared right before him and exploded with immense intensity!
Chapter 213: Que De, lacking in morals
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
As the ball exploded, boundless of electrical energy surrounded the Fire Emperor threateningly. The arcs of electricity were buzzing all around him unceasingly.
At the same time, right within the nucleus of the ball of energy bore a small trace of purple electricity. This had been acquired when Xu Que was undergoing his Tribulation. Despite the size of the purple electrical energy, it's powers were unthinkable!
Since Xu Que had the Killer Book which was at full Glory, any attack had its strength increased by 30 times!
It was obvious that the Fire Emperor was in for a tragedy!
"Pu!"
Despite the ancient Imperial Qi's protection, the Fire Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood.
After being surrounded by so many arcs of electrical pulses, he was starting to convulse and twitch involuntarily.
This wasn't because he was too weak. It was because Xu Que had used such immense power!
By itself, the Lightning Tribulation spell was exceedingly powerful. When its strength was multiplied by 30, it far surpassed what the Fire Emperor could withstand!
It was fortunate for the Fire Emperor that he could summon the Imperial Qi to his aid as it significantly reduced the effects of the lightning. If not, he would've probably been burnt to a crisp with no chances of survival.
Spitting out a little blood meant that he was exceptionally lucky to come out relatively unscathed.
The Fire Emperor's heart was filled with fear. He found it extremely hard to believe that apart from the three colored fiery lotus, Xu Que had other spells up his sleeves.
How… How was this possible?
It had only been a year. How could he have gotten so strong?
The Fire Emperor was inching extremely close to insanity. However, there was nothing he could do at this point. He could only keep drawing on the Imperial Qi to absorb the powers of the lightning arcs!
Everyone's faces was filled with dread and they were all stupefied by this scene.
The Fire Emperor had spat out blood again?
A level 6 Infant Transformation elite fighter was being beaten up by this level seven Original Infant. Can you believe it?
And… And he even had to rely on the Imperial Qi to absorb the damage. If it weren't for the Imperial Qi, would the Emperor have been murdered?
Everyone thought about this as their bodies started to tremble and their scalps turned numb. Even their backs started dripping cold sweat.
Scary… He's really too scary!
Heavenly Explosion Faction's Xu Que. This name had been imprinted on the minds of the disciples from the great sects and all the other cultivators and civilians of the Imperial City.
Nobody would ever forget that this young man managed to make the Fire Emperor spit blood out. Not once, but twice!
In fact, this youth even slept with the Fire Emperor's concubine, the Flaming Sun Princess, and was about to make his advances on the Fire Emperor's sister!
He was truly insane and no words could be used to accurately describe him!
"Haha! Dog Emperor, so it seems like you're afraid of lightning! Indeed, for something as despicable as you should be struck by lightning repeatedly. Fine. I shall give you another two Monkey Blocks Lightnings!" Xu Que raised both his palms and concentrated for a second before another two balls of lightning appeared.
"Buzz" The sound of electricity rang out from Xu Que's palms. Likewise, these two balls of electricity started becoming bigger again.
The crowd drew in a breath of cold air.
"Hssss, this kid is way too powerful. He's way too fucking powerful! I've never seen anything like him!"
Just a single ball of lightning energy was enough to make the Emperor spit out blood and now he conjured another two balls for him.
But… This seemed like it wasn't going to work. Although the Fire Emperor did spit out blood, to an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator, that meant that it was only a light injury!
If the Fire Emperor used a stronger killing spell, Xu Que would die without questions!
Everyone sighed out within their hearts.
At this point, the Fire Emperor conjured more Imperial Qi as another thick layer of white energy surrounded him.
The Fire Emperor was drawing on the ancient Imperial Qi to his defenses. In actual fact, he was drawing the power from his Imperial Tombs!
People who understood such matters knew that the entire palace was surrounded by a large powerful spell. This spell was closely related to the power of the Imperial Tombs.
A person with the blood of the imperial family flowing within their veins could draw on the Imperial Qi as long as he was standing nearby the source of the power. In fact, this person could make use of the Imperial Qi to acquire a very mysterious energy!
"Today, I shall vanquish you!" The Fire Emperor shouted out, his voice reverberating across the entire palace!
At the door of the throne room...
"Emperor father has already started it!" The Flaming Sun Princess whispered, her face revealed a grave expression.
As a member of the imperial family, she could feel the mysterious energy on the Fire Emperor as well!
This energy was called the Emperor's Energy and originated from the ancestors of the Imperial family. Despite the fact that they were already dead, their bodies still lingered within the Imperial Tombs and were perfectly preserved.
However, there was a certain tradition within the imperial family. That tradition was that after knowing that his time is up, the Emperor would walk into the Imperial Tombs and lie on the stone. Just before he dies, he has to hold his breath. This last final breath wouldn't change for all eternity and would be sealed in his body within the tomb!
As long as this spell was in place, the Imperial family could use their ancestors' final breath and use it to cultivate to increase their strengths whenever the need arose.
However, the accumulation of such strength was extremely slow and could only rely on time to increase its potency. Besides, using this once meant that there was one less time to use it in the future.
The Emperor had started using this particular energy. It clearly showed the extent of which he wanted to kill Xu Que- that he would risk anything.
Xu Que didn't notice this as he continued conjuring the pair of lightning balls. Indeed, he had added a purple streak of lightning to each of his two lighting balls.
Before long, he held up a large pair of Monkey Blocks Lightning balls and were bigger than his own body!
The electric energy are spinning and convulsing within the spheres violently.
"Dog Emperor, catch this!"
Xu Que then raised his hands high above his head before throwing the pair of balls with all his might. The size of the balls were so immense they almost resembled a pair of flying mountains, moving towards the Fire Emperor!
However, the Fire Emperor didn't catch it this time.
With a flash, the Imperial Qi enveloped his body as he dodged the pair of lightning balls with incredible speed.
The Emperor believed that as long as he continued keeping this up, allowing the Emperor's Energy to congeal within him, his cultivation powers would increase tremendously. In fact, he might even be able to advance to the Void Refining Stage and possess terrifying powers.
"Yo, stop running! Are you terrified yet!?" Xu Que watched as the Emperor retreated while taunting him!
At the same time, the ability from God of Hell's Compulsion allowed him to control electrical energy. At this point, it finally showed its usefulness.
All he had to do was to concentrate and the pair of lightning balls which the Fire Emperor had already dodge turned around and shot straight at the Emperor once again!
Concurrently, Xu Que started beating his dark black flaming wings, causing a tornado. His shadow became a blur as he shot towards the Fire Emperor with startling speed!
At that precise moment, something unexpected happened!
The Fire Emperor didn't retaliate by using his powerful spells. Instead, he decided to use his normal skills. Yet, his speed wasn't by any means slow as he managed to dodge both the balls of electrical energy once again as well as roll out of the way of Xu Que's strike!
Everyone watched on, completely bewildered.
The Fire Emperor was… being pursued?
Only the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan understood what he was trying to do.
He was holding out for as long as he could, up to the final moments. Then, he would use all the Emperor's Energy which he had been condensing and increase his cultivation level!
Such a method was as good as summoning his forefathers into battle and helping to increase his cultivation!
"Dog Emperor, why are you running? Are you trying to charge another great ultimate skill? It's no use. Watch out for my fearsome blade! Everytime I wield it, it takes a life!" Xu Que was laughing icily as he drew his Infinity Edge. Increasing his speed once again, he maneuvered himself in such a way that he ended up behind the Emperor.
At the next moment, the blinding flash of a sword could be seen!
"Chi la!"
The torn and tattered dragon robes which had been worn by the Emperor was sliced and completely torn this time as it broke off the Emperor and fell to the ground.
Hence, the great monarch of the Fire Nations had nothing to conceal his modesty and was completely naked. Every inch of his body was subjected to scrutiny by everyone present!
The people down below fell into silence. They were all shocked by such a scene.
Even they could tell that Xu Que's sword attack wasn't to harm or kill him. It was fairly obvious that Xu Que had intentionally slashed his robes off, causing the Emperor to look extremely foolish!
"This… This kid is extremely unorthodox in his ways!"
"Who would've expected that in such a fierce battle for life and death, he would actually think about how to humiliate his opponent."
"He is indeed the disciple of Duan Jiu De. Such an erratic personality, he is exactly the same as how Duan Jiu De has been described!"
"That's not all! When you compare them, it even seemed like Xu Que's more bizarre than his master!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Have you forgotten what happened earlier? Have you ever seen someone hurl shit while he was fighting?"
"Gulp…"
The group of them remained speechless.
This Duan Jiu De and now Xu Que!
This kid… The pair of them are oddities. One of them is called Que and the other is called De.
Damn it! When you put their names together, it becomes Que De!
(T/N: Que de means unscrupulous, or lacking in morals)
Chapter 214: Stories About The Dog Emperor
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Boom!"
Boundless energy exploded out from the Emperor's body and it wrapped around him, covering him from everything else.
The rage on his face was evident and he looked extremely fearsome!
Xu Que's methods of fighting, with no morals or principles, would certainly cause everyone to feel enraged! He was too unorthodox.
What happened to the blade which you said would claim lives every time you wield it?
You only used it to rip apart his robes. In this cultivation world, only people with no moral standards would do something like that! All the cultivators often adhered to a strict moral code, despite the amount of hate. Nobody would resort to such underhanded methods to humiliate someone.
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan were taken aback by this. The Fire Emperor was the monarch of this nation yet Xu Que had repeatedly humiliated him. Regardless of the outcome today, the Fire Emperor would've lost his face. That was for sure.
Concubine Fantasy's eyes were wide open in shock. She understood Xu Que the best among all this people and was stumped to see him act this way.
Was this still the same person from before? The same well mannered, shy and respectful young man?
They've been apart for less than a year and yet the changes in his personality was so vast, it seemed almost impossible.
"Hahaha! Dog Emperor, you're just… Hehehe." Xu Que's laughter rang out uncontrollably from the skies.
Xu Que thought about how the Emperor looked when he was naked and couldn't help but laugh out.
Everyone around was wondering what Xu Que was up to again. What was the reason for him to laugh so loudly?
"Everyone! Everyone… After fighting for half a day, I'm tired too! Why don't I tell you more stories about this dog Emperor? What do you say?" Xu Que was beaming as he spoke, withdrawing his smile soon after.
Stories about the Emperor?
Damn you Xu Que, how many stories and secrets have you heard about the Emperor and the royal family?
Everyone around was extremely curious especially about the internal affairs within the Imperial Palace. Who wouldn't love to listen to such tales?
It was only that nobody dared to reply Xu Que or show the slightest interest in whatever he was saying. However, they straightened their postures and pricked their ears to listen. They were all waiting in anticipation for more juicy gossips regarding the Fire Emperor.
"Ai? Why is everyone so quiet? Since silence means consent, it means that all of you wish to hear more! Sure, I shall accept your request! Dog Emperor, I shall count to three. If you remain silent, it means that you're in agreement as well and that I should tell them everything about you…"
As soon as he said that, Xu Que rattled off the numbers rapidly, "One, two, three! Done! Looks like you agree too! I shall tell them then…" Xu Que's shameless and thick skinned behavior rendered the entire crowd speechless as they opened their eyes, astonished at how crazy this person was. The Fire Emperor was down below, very close to spitting blood once again.
To meet someone as shameless as this person… was impossible! Nobody could ever beat this Xu Que in a shamelessness contest!
Xu Que clearly didn't care about what people thought about him. He thus gave an approving look as he started speaking excitedly, "Once upon a time, this dog Emperor was feeling rather ill and unwell, and thus invited a doctor over…"
When the people down below heard this, they were curious. "Yo, this story is about the Emperor falling sick but… The Fire Emperor is of the Infant Transformation Stage and his body is incapable of falling ill. How could this be true?"
What Xu Que was about to say, was probably fabricated, considering how he's so lacking in morals.
However, the group of people down below who were eating seeds and watching the entire conflict didn't care whether Xu Que was lying or speaking the truth.
After all, he had lived within the palace for so many years and was the Lord Prince Consort! Especially something as intimate about the Emperor seeing a doctor, only people who were close to him like Princesses and Prince Consorts would ever know about this.
Hence, everyone listened attentively to Xu Que. The Fire Emperor called for a doctor in. What was the reason for that?
Besides, Xu Que was exceptionally good at tricking people and was a master of telling stories, being able to captivate attention everywhere he went!
Seeing that he had gained the attention of the crowd, he sniggered once more. Since they were now at his disposal, he continued the story, "The dog Emperor secretly called the doctor to visit him and told him strictly that no matter what he saw, he must not laugh. The doctor nodded his head earnestly and promised not to laugh. However, the Emperor still didn't believe him and reinforced his point once more, this time, threatening the doctor, saying that if he laughed, he will be killed."
Hearing this, the crowd felt extremely curious. What sickness did the Fire Emperor get? Why did he insist that the doctor must not laugh?
"After the doctor made three consecutive vows that he wouldn't laugh, the dog Emperor finally called the doctor over before gradually pulling down his pants."
Xu Que continued speaking as he looked down and saw the Fire Emperor below, shaking in anger. He then laughed out and continued the story, "As soon as the doctor saw the Emperor's privates, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. While he was laughing, he was asking, 'why was it so small? Hahaha! Why was it so small?"
As soon as Xu Que finished speaking, everyone simultaneously turned their heads to look at the Fire Emperor. Although he was shielded in fire which covered most of his naked body, everyone could still faintly see his privates. And indeed… It was, cough, cough, very small!
However, this wasn't a big deal!
Regardless of how small the Emperor was down there, nobody dared to laugh!
Still, as soon as Xu Que broached this subject, a small group of people couldn't hold their laughter in and started laughing.
'Boom!'
"Outrageous! What are you laughing about? If you continue laughing, I shall put you to death!" The Fire Emperor had been angry for a long time now. After seeing the crowd burst out laughing, he raged out at them and shouted angrily.
Who would've expected that as soon as he lashed out, Xu Que pointed at him and shouted even louder, "Yes, yes, yes, correct! As soon as the doctor laughed out, the dog Emperor said the exact same thing! If you continue laughing, I shall put you to death…"
That was the exact situation!
After Xu Que had said this, the crowd could almost imagine the scene which he had described. All of them could envision the doctor, doing his utmost best to stop laughing and the enraged Fire Emperor standing across.
However, the Emperor was truly angry at this point and almost took his rage out onto the people who were laughing.
At this moment, the group of people who were laughing held a hand to their mouths to stop themselves from laughing further. Their faces had turned red because even if they found it funny, they knew they couldn't laugh!
"Yes, yes, yes! The doctor looked exactly the same as all of you right now! It isn't easy to be a doctor as well! After seeing something so hilarious, he can't even laugh. But all this was caused by… Ai, all this was caused by the dog Emperor in the first place…"
Xu Que sighed out and shook his head as he continued to speak, "After trying his hardest, the doctor finally managed to hold his laughter in. He had no choice! If he continued laughing, he would lose his life! Hence, he inhaled deeply and squatted down to look at the Emperor's tiny little brother. He then asked sincerely, 'Your majesty, may I ask what's the problem with your dragon? Can you tell me now?'"
At this point, the group of people eating seeds down below were extremely curious as to what the ending of Xu Que's story might be. However, they were also afraid of the Emperor's rage. But they wanted to know what the Emperor's sickness is.
The Fire Emperor glanced across with intense hatred. However, he didn't wish to fall into Xu Que's trap and waste all the Imperial Qi which he had been charging up and ruin his own plan. Hence, he stood there and endured the story. His heart was almost about to explode from anger but he maintained his composure.
He knew that once the time was right, Xu Que would die. There was no question about that!
Right at this point, Xu Que laughed out and continued his story.
"The doctor knelt down and asked the dog Emperor what the problem was. However, the dog Emperor still couldn't relax and reminded the doctor once again. 'Once I tell you, you must not laugh. You really must not laugh.' At this point, the doctor felt like he could control his emotions. Isn't it because it's very small? He had already realized this point and he wouldn't laugh anymore. Hence he made the promise, saying that he wouldn't laugh."
After countless more promises, the dog Emperor could finally relax. He then pointed at his private part and told the doctor, "My dragon… is swollen!"
Chapter 215: Yo, You're Trying To Cheat Me?
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Swollen?
Fuck me!
It was already swollen but it's still so small!
The crowd who acted exactly as the doctor did and tried to control their laughter, couldn't hold it in any longer. Everyone burst out in uncontrollable laughter.
Many of them laughed till tears rolled down their cheeks!
Some of them laughed till their stomachs hurt and they fell to the ground and started rolling around, unable to get up.
Damn it, why was this kid so low?
He could actually fabricate such a story to mock the Emperor's little penis!
Outrageous!
This was truly outrageous!
When Xu Que first started telling the story, it did sound like a true story about life within the Imperial Palace.
When he reached the end of the story and recounted how the Emperor said "it's swollen", everyone knew that the story was fabricated from start to end.
But…
Why was it so darned funny?
Once a person started laughing, he couldn't stop!
This was especially true after everyone looked at the Emperor and saw his expression of anger. It was the main reason why everyone couldn't stop laughing.
Indeed, Xu Que's foolery had caused the Emperor to feel so angry that smoke was almost coming out from his nostrils. However, he was disciplined and endured the anger wordlessly floating in the air.
When he saw Xu Que tossing over the Monkey Blocks Lightning, the Emperor could only passively dodge the projectiles.
Everyone within the crowd were laughing so hard, they couldn't straighten their backs. If only they knew how angry the Emperor was and that he was so humiliated, he could conjure a spell to kill them all, they probably wouldn't behave this way.
And yet when they looked up, they realized that the Emperor didn't look like he wanted revenge from Xu Que. He was just standing there, hiding away from everyone. Was… Was this really their Infant Transformation Stage, unrivalled Fire Emperor?
"Dog Emperor, fuck your mum!"
"Dog Emperor, if you have the guts, stop hiding…"
"Dog Emperor! Hello, hello, hello, can you try a little harder?"
"Dog Emperor, I heard you were very powerful? What happened to your strengths?"
"Dog Emperor, quick look… Your little brother is swollen!"
Just like that, Xu Que was rejoicing in the Fire Emperor's humiliation as the Fire Emperor has an ashen look across his face. He was dodging most of the attacks, occasionally sending out some weak spells. However, he was clearly in a defensive stance. It didn't even seem like he was interested in using some massive spell to overcome his taunting foe.
As time went on, the crowd started getting puzzled.
"What's wrong with the Fire Emperor? Why is he always on the retreat?"
"There's no reason for him not to fight back!"
"No, it's hard for him to withstand Xu Que's powerful spells. Besides, Xu Que has the three colored fiery lotus and numerous lightning balls, which shouldn't be underestimated!"
"I understand now. The Fire Emperor doesn't wish to waste too much of his Imperial Qi defending his blows. After all, doing so is very detrimental to the health of the nation!"
"But dragging the fight this way isn't a good plan as well. Look at Xu Que. His energy and strength hasn't dwindled ever since the start of the fight. His core energy looks abundant, never getting close to being diminished!"
"It's too scary. This youth is probably the youngest elite cultivator all across the five nations and the most talented!"
"It's such a waste! He's gotten on the wrong side of the Fire Emperor!"
"Could he really be the same Prince Consort from all those years ago? After the Emperor and Concubine Fantasy schemed to harm him, he's really going all out to pursue his revenge!"
"That's probably the case. If not, his methods wouldn't be so vile and merciless!"
Everyone had started to become suspicious of the Fire Emperor and believed that Xu Que was truly the Prince Consort. It made sense that he was coming back for revenge after going through such hardships caused by the Emperor.
At this point, Xu Que had started to realize that something wasn't right. The Fire Emperor was an elite cultivator, level six of the Infant Transformation realm. How could he endure so much humiliation by dodging his attacks without retaliation?
And he was being chased after and pursued in front of so many people. Rumors were going to spread for sure!
At first, Xu Que thought that the Fire Emperor was charging up some massively powerful spell. He was thus prepared to purchase some high grade defensive items and weapons to counter it.
However, even if he was charging a powerful spell, it wouldn't take that long. Besides, he didn't even look like he was doing anything. What was going on?
Xu Que thus started to feel suspicious. He halted his flight, still hovering in mid air.
Although his attack speed was very quick, the Emperor had the Imperial Qi to protect him. At this point, the Emperor's own defense had far surpassed that of the Infant Transformation Stage and yet he was still draining the nation's reserves in order to fight it out with Xu Que.
Under such power, Xu Que's three colored fiery lotus along with the lightning balls wouldn't be able to kill the Fire Emperor. The worst case situation would probably just the same as the current, causing the Emperor to lose more face in front of everyone.
But if this was allowed to continue, what if the Fire Emperor managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat?
If you really wanted to act tough well, you have to prepare for emergencies!
Because there's a wise saying that goes something like this...
Acting tough is only for the prepared.
Hence, he decided not to waste any more time and called out for his system.
"System, check for me, what on earth is that dog Emperor doing?"
"Ding! Detection successful. The target is doing a certain palace ritual and accumulating the Emperor's Energy. His current completion is 40%!"
"What is that? Emperor's Energy?" Xu Que was rather astonished.
"The Emperor's Energy is a ritual. In simpler terms, it's the last dying breath of each Emperor, held in his mouth for all eternity. It's considered rather precious and can be drawn upon by his successors. This energy is extremely powerful and can be used to increase one's cultivation level during emergencies."
"Fuck! Are you trying to say that the dog Emperor is sucking on his ancestors breath? That's damn disgusting!"
When Xu Que finished hearing this, he frowned before asking, "When he completes up to 100%, how much increase will his cultivation level be?"
"The current target is already at 45% completion of the Emperor's Energy. When he finally reaches 100%, he will be at the Void Refining Stage level one. His strengths would be unrivalled. With the host's current capabilities, this system recommends that you flee for your life immediately."
"What the? Ascend to the Void Refining Stage?" When Xu Que heard this, he was stumped.
"Damn it, this dog Emperor is already at the Infant Transformation Stage level six. Together with his Imperial Qi to protect him, his powers are disgustingly strong. If he was allowed to transcend to the Void Refining Stage, I won't be able to do anything to him!"
"Original Infant level seven and yet it's not even going to be enough. Even with the Killer Book at full Glory, it would be hard to withstand the might of the Fire Emperor especially since he's drawing on such powerful ancient energy!"
"Fuck me!"
"Thankfully I'm such an intelligent person. If not, instead of acting tough, I would be eating grass."
"I probably still can fight this Infant Transformation Fire Emperor. But once he ascends to the Void Refining Stage, I probably run for my life!"
"On the other hand, as the king of acting tough…"
"How could I tuck my tail between my legs and flee just like that?"
"And to flee after creating such a grand stage for me to act tough?"
"If I actually flee now, isn't there no difference between that and eating grass?"
"If one doesn't act tough, how is he different from a calf?"
"No!"
"I cannot run!"
"I cannot hide!"
"I must be strong!"
"If not, I will probably despise myself."
Xu Que thought in his head calmly as his eyes flickered. He had a plan!
"Dog Emperor, you're trying to trick me. Heheh… I'm certain you haven't read . I shall show you how a General thinks and see what you can do about it!" Xu Que laughed coldly. He was elated at having thought of a plan.
Chapter 216: The Plan
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
At that exact moment…
Xu Que's glance fell upon the Fire Emperor who was once again inching away, trying to avoid him.
Xu Que's expression froze on his face as he shouted out coldly, "Dog Emperor, stop wasting your Imperial Qi. This Imperial Qi is supposed to uphold and maintain the stability of the Fire Nation and directly affects the well-being of your people. I, Xu Que, wouldn't want to bring suffering upon the innocent lives just because of our personal vendetta!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Hm? Why did this kid had such an abrupt change? All of a sudden, he's worried about the safety and well-being of the innocent lives?
But that's not right, isn't it? Although it's true that the Imperial Qi determines the prosperity of the Fire Nation, it only means that the country's wealth and life was affected. That has nothing much to do with the actual lives of the civilians!
What is he trying to do now?
Many cultivators within the training grounds looked up at Xu Que with looks of astonishment written across their faces.
Most of these cultivators around had already gotten used to Xu Que's eccentric and deceptive nature. When they saw him behaving like this, in such a self-righteous manner, they felt that something strange was happening.
The Sky Incense Valley disciples watched Xu Que warily, certain that there was definitely some hidden meaning to his words.
Not right!
There's something not quite right here!
A ploy!
A ploy is going on right now. This kid is from the Heavenly Explosion Faction and everyone of them are cunning and will never have such sentiments for the civilian lives!
However, there were many other civilians who couldn't see through Xu Que and were moved by his words.
When they heard that the Fire Emperor was presently endangering the lives of innocent civilians, they felt rather anxious. This was especially since they were just normal people and had no way to stand up for themselves. The only thing they could do was to sit and worry about their futures.
As soon as they heard Xu Que's words, they felt extremely touched.
"What a good kid!"
Within the group of civilians, one of them was a frail old man who's holding on to a walking stick for support. He was trembling as he spoke out.
"In order to ensure our safety, he actually decided to put aside his own need for personal revenge!"
"Ai, he's such a good man. Why did life have to be so unfair to him?"
"Today, we shall all remember the name Xu Que!"
Many normal civilians were moved by his actions and they sighed out regretfully.
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 80 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 100 act tough points!"
Right at this point, Xu Que was hovering in the air as the system notifications rang out within his head but he didn't pay it any mind.
Xu Que sighed out deeply as though he had given up on the thing which mattered most to him in this life. His face was filled with sadness and disappointment as he looked up towards the skies and spoke out, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Dog Emperor, I've already exposed all your misdeeds in the past. Seeing as to how you've been a good Emperor to most of these people here and how I've beaten you so many times today but you still refuse to retaliate against me, I guess you're also feeling guilty and ashamed to face me after all the wrong you've committed. Is that right? Fine. Since that's the case, I shall let you off!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stupefied!
Fuck. This kid isn't going to fight anymore?
The Fire Emperor is feeling guilty for all the wrong he commited and thus decided not to retaliate? So that's why he's been acting that way!
Many civilians around were shocked by this as well.
"This young man is so concerned for us mortals that he even decided to discard his hatred and need for vengeance!"
"He's truly different from the other cold blooded cultivators. He's a good man!"
"Such a forgiving magnanimity is truly deserving of admiration!"
Within the blink of an eye, the shadow of Xu Que had become a symbol of goodness and benevolence!
However, the Fire Emperor was stunned by whatever he had said. The main reason he had been hiding and dodging for so long was to not waste Imperial Qi by taking damage from Xu Que. In fact, he started to draw upon the Emperor's Energy rather than draining the country's reserve of Imperial Qi. All he needed was a little more time and he would be able to increase his cultivation level to the Void Refining Stage and flay Xu Que's skin from his meat before killing him!
Yet now, Xu Que abruptly said that he no longer wished to fight? That completely took him by surprise.
Fuck!
Why… is he so eccentric and unpredictable?
If he doesn't wish to fight anymore, who am I going to use my powers and skills on?
The Fire Emperor felt extremely anxious now.
He had painstakingly chose to draw on the precious Emperor's Energy. All of these energy was extremely rare and had been left behind by his ancestors. Once he started the process of extracting the energy, there was no way of giving it back. Then… Wouldn't all this go to waste?
Also, what was most important was that he had been pursued and beaten by Xu Que countlessly in front of everyone. To the audience, his face had already been thrown for losing in several bouts. Indeed, he was like a turtle recoiling his head into his shell.
That was the reason he chose to draw on the energy and amass his powers before killing Xu Que after reaching his peak. His plan was to ascend into the Void Refining Stage and overwhelm Xu Que and thus reclaim his pride and dignity from him!
His chance to do all that would require a little more time!
Now that Xu Que had turned around and was about to leave, the Fire Emperor was so upset, he almost vomited blood.
His whole body was trembling and yet he was still holding his fiery anger in. The Fire Emperor then shouted out, "Xu Que, if you really have a vendetta against me, let's settle it today! If you leave now, it would mean that you are like a turtle who's hiding in its shell!"
The crowd heard this and froze in shock.
The Fire Emperor still wishes to fight?
What was going on? When Xu Que wanted to fight, you were running and dodging. Now that he decided not to fight, you want him to stay and continue?
Could it be that the Emperor was addicted to the feeling of fleeing from his enemies?
The Emperor has… such a strange addiction?
The hundreds of mortal civilians were standing around in shock as well. However, at this point, anger started to well up within their hearts.
Xu Que is such a good kid. He didn't want to harm the Fire Nation's Imperial Qi and decided to voluntarily place down his need for vengeance.
But you, as the monarch of the FIre Nation, wished to continue wasting the Imperial Qi just for a fight? Are you still human?
Fire Emperor, you bastard!
The crowd glared at the Fire Emperor in anger, their hearts were cursing out at him angrily!
At the same time, the act tough points kept coming in, announced by the system within his head. He was laughing out for joy in his heart!
His face however, had a look of composure. He frowned before scolding the Emperor, "You still wish to fight? Are you even human? If you have the guts, dissipate your Imperial Qi now and fight with me. Stop using the futures of these innocent people as a shield!"
When the Fire Emperor heard this, he sighed in relief. As long as Xu Que didn't leave, there was still a chance for him to reclaim his dignity.
But to scatter his Imperial Qi? Truth be told, he didn't dare to. That's because he had already experienced first hand a pair of Xu Que's spells and they were terrifying.
However, as the Emperor of a nation, he was shrewd and had more tricks up his sleeves.
The Fire Emperor then replied, "The reason I've used the Imperial Qi is to weaken your three colored fiery lotus and lightning balls for those skills would destroy my entire city and harm innocent lives. If I scatter the Imperial Qi, you must not use those two spells as well. Also, you cannot use any spells which are too destructive in nature. Why don't we have a proper comparison of who is more powerful?"
When Xu Que heard this, he was elated. He wasn't allowed to use his Buddha's Fiery Lotus and Lightning Balls? No problem! The main point here was to get rid of the Imperial Qi. As for killing you, I have a hundred other ways!
Dog Emperor, you're indeed very sneaky. Do you really think I don't know what you're up to? What a joke! Standing before the act tough king, how can you ever dream to act tough?
At that moment, Xu Que replied without hesitation, "Sure. As long as you don't use the Imperial Qi, I won't use those spells. Today, we shall resolve this vendetta between us. Bring it!"
Chapter 217: I Want This Jade Seal!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
He agreed?
As soon as these words were spoken by Xu Que, the crowd was bewildered once more!
This kid actually agreed to the Fire Emperor's request to not use those spells? Fuck! Then how was he going to fight?
Many people within the crowd were still eating seeds but had no idea what was happening. They couldn't understand why either party was acting the way they did!
One gave up his Imperial Qi shield protection, while the other gave up two of his most powerful spells. What were they trying to do? Are they speaking the truth about not wanting to harm the innocent?
"That's not good. Does that Xu Que have more spells which he can use?"
"For a person to ever cultivate two equally powerful spells within his lifetime was extremely rare. Much less the fact that he only had a year of cultivation. He most definitely wouldn't have other spells to use!"
"However, if he gives up those two powerful spells, the Fire Emperor's strength without his Imperial Qi is still formidable and would be enough to kill Xu Que!"
"Looks like the youth was too brash and fell into the ploys of the Fire Emperor!"
"He's indeed too young and inexperienced, sigh!"
Everyone around shook their heads. Most of them assumed that Xu Que had been angered by the Emperor and thus lost his sense of intelligence in the moment. That was the only plausible explanation as to why he would agree to such a request. At this point, it was impossible for Xu Que to back down after agreeing!
However, the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan thinks otherwise.
Back in the wilderness, they still remembered what Xu Que had said about himself. That he "doesn't live up to his own words"!
This kid had no limits in anything he did, ignored boundaries and was extremely unconventional in the way he handled problems. He promised that he wouldn't use those two spells? Haha! Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan felt that it was impossible that he would keep his words!
"He would most certainly use those two spells!" Zi Xuan shook her head and laughed out bitterly.
The Flaming Sun Princess' expression was that of a block of ice as she spoke out, "If he truly does cast these spells, father would certainly use his Imperial Qi again. Regardless of how strong he is, he wouldn't be able to win my father. It's just that… Father's body is now filled with Emperor's Energy and is more than halfway completed. Within a short period of time, it would be completed! When that happens, Xu Que… will surely die!"
"Ai, he only has himself to blame for overestimating his own capabilities!" Zi Xuan sighed and shook her head.
The both of them knew that once the Fire Emperor steps into the Void Refining Stage, Xu Que would face inevitable doom!
At the same time, the Fire Emperor stopped hiding and fleeing. With a flash, he appeared within several meters of Xu Que as killing intent swirled around him threateningly.
"Boom!"
Within a fraction of a second, the Emperor scattered the Imperial Qi which he had been using as shield. Wisps of energy evaporated away from him and flowed back into the Imperial Palace before disappearing from view.
"Now, we can fight!"
He looked at Xu Que laughing confidently and was slightly apprehensive. In actual fact, he hadn't completely dismissed the Imperial Qi from him. If Xu Que tried to conjure those spells, he would be able to recall the Imperial Qi within a second or less to protect him. Thus, he knew that he was in no real danger
Xu Que was laughing coldly, clutching the Infinity Blade tightly. At the same time, he took out his Killer Blade as well and it hung from his waist.
To the group of people, this wasn't anything unusual. They assumed that he just wanted to keep an additional weapon by his side!
However, when Xu Que's Killer Blade was taken out, his strength was increased by 30 times. This also meant that his Infinity Blade's strength had been increased tremendously.
"Dog Emperor, watch out for my blade. Everytime I wield it, it claims lives. I shall lop off your big head above and your small head below!" Xu Que shouted out as his pair of wings flapped majestically, causing a powerful black flame to soar and threaten the Fire Emperor.
Everyone in the crowd felt their lips twitch. Your head above and your head below?
Big head above was obviously referring to his head. Then the small head below was referring to…
Fuck, this kid's mouth is truly vicious. He had been continuously hurling insults at the Emperor's small penis. Every chance he had, he would scold it!"
"You're asking to die!" The Fire Emperor's face was filled with anger, his eyes taunted his opponent as he flipped his hands over.
"Whoosh!"
A single jade seal appeared in the air and was encased in magnificent aura. A golden dragon was carved into the jade seal and was resplendent and majestic.
As soon as the jade seal appeared, boundless of powerful aura began emanating out, filling the entire grounds.
The faces of everyone who saw this fell!
"The Fire Emperor has actually used the jade seal!"
"That's a Six Star weapon! In fact, the power of it is so strong that it could almost be Seven Stars!"
"Besides, this heirloom had been passed down from numerous Emperors ago and is centuries old. In fact, the powers of the previous Emperors had rubbed off in this weapon. It must truly be formidable!"
The Sky Incense Valley elder was extremely shaken by this as well. He shook his head and spoke out, "Since this powerful weapon has made its appearance, our young friend Xu is done!"
The jade seal was an item belonging to the monarch of the nation and at the same time, had belonged to every Emperor in history. Its powers are definitely unmatched!
Six Star grade. This was an item thousands of cultivators wouldn't even get a chance to see in their entire lifetimes!
"Dong!"
A loud roaring sound rang out as the Fire Emperor hurled the jade seal into the air. It became bigger as it soared through the skies till it was as huge as a golden mountain, covering the entire area.
The immense power from the weapon was so crushing that everyone under the skies found it hard to breathe!
Many cultivators who were of lower cultivation level felt their chests tightening and their faces turned pale. Most even felt their knees buckle as though they were about to fall to their knees.
Xu Que's soul strength was extremely strong and wasn't as affected as many other cultivators around. However, he did feel some slight tremors within his heart and was fairly astonished by this.
A Six Star grade weapon. That would've been damned expensive. A Six Star grade weapon was worth almost 10,000 act tough points within the system store!
Shit! This Fire Emperor, the old dirty bastard, has become so dangerous all of a sudden!
But using a Six Star weapon alone to fight me? That's not going to be enough. Watch how I shall act tough and slap your face!
Xu Que cleared his throat and descended from the skies, placing his Infinity Edge back into the system inventor. He folded his arms and held them by his chest before speaking out, "Come. I shall stand here and allow you to attack me. If your rubbish jade seal can hit me, I shall eat shit till I die!"
As soon as his words were spoken, Xu Que could feel the system notifications ring out in his head, signalling that his acting tough had been successful!
Everyone down below were stumped!
Standing still to allow the jade seal to hit you? Are you crazy? That's a Six Star grade weapon and not any other jade seal!
"This kid is doomed and yet still dared to speak such words to undermine the Fire Emperor and his formidable jade seal!"
"The crazy man would eventually have to pay the price!"
Several cultivators had expressionless looks on their faces while they shook their heads.
The Fire Emperor's face was filled with a mocking look as he laughed out, "You wish to pit yourself against my jade seal? Haha! Sure. I shall grant your death wish!"
The Fire Emperor summoned a beam of light and directed it into the enormous jade seal.
"Boom!"
The jade seal trembled as it carried along an aura that was more than capable of destroying the entire heavens and earth. The seal was charging towards Xu Que with astonishing speeds!
"He's finished. There's nowhere for him to run. Regardless how fast he can move, he wouldn't be able to hide from that massive jade seal which could cover so much surface area!"
Everyone around held their breaths and watched at Xu Que who was still rooted to the ground, unmoving. Their hearts sighed out.
Right at this point, Xu Que's lips curled into a cold smile, "This jade seal, I want it!"
In that second, his hands moved in a strange fashion as though casting a spell. Soon after, he summoned a core energy which surrounded him. The core energy felt like it belonged to some ancient spell which exploded out from his hands!
"Come on, Secret Character: Troops!"
Xu Que shouted out loudly as his hands were held out before him. Immense mysterious energy was sent out from his hands as it met the jade seal in the middle and flooded into the weapon!
Chapter 218: Bully! This Is Bullying!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Boom!"
The ancient energy exploded out from Xu Que's palms before transforming into a powerful spell which resembled tens of thousands of threads.
At the next moment, the gargantuan jade seal which was enveloped in golden energy seemed to have stopped moving. The invisible threads held the jade seal in place, preventing it from charging towards Xu Que.
"What?"
The Fire Emperor's face froze as he realized that he had lost all control of the jade seal. He suddenly looked extremely afraid as he shouted out, "How could it be? What've you done?"
That jade seal had been passed on for generations within the royal family. Every single Emperor had possessed it in their lifetime. This was the heirloom which assisted with their cultivation and converted blood into cultivation energy. In fact, this weapon had been a part of each Emperor.
And now, this jade seal had actually been stolen from him? He couldn't feel the bond which attached himself to the jade seal any longer and his spells didn't seem to affect it as well. He completely couldn't feel the jade seal as though it had been ripped away from his control!
Everyone were astonished.
"What's happening?"
"Why did the jade seal suddenly stop? Has the Fire Emperor changed his mind about attacking master Xu Que?"
"No. It seemed like master Xu Que was the person responsible for stopping the jade seal. It looked like he had casted a spell and I could even somewhat feel it!"
"Yes, I can feel it as well. Although it came in a flash, I could feel the strength of the spell!"
"Could it be that this young master Xu Que already possessed such immense power even before reaching the Void Refining Stage? How… How was this possible?"
Many people around were extremely shocked as they looked up towards the sky in shock.
Even the Flaming Sun Princess and the rest of them were filled with astonishment, finding it extremely hard to believe!
The jade seal's powers were formidable and all of them were extremely clear about this. They even knew that this jade seal was more powerful than most Six Star weapons. Now however, it had been stolen by Xu Que and fell under his control.
Seeing something like this happen filled all of them with dread!
This was a Six Star weapon!
This was the Fire Nation's jade seal!
"What have you done?" Up in the skies, the Fire Emperor shouted out once again, his heart was filled with a sense of greed!
The spells which Xu Que had casted today, be it the three colored fiery lotus or the lightning balls, they were all extremely effective and potent skills.
Now that he had revealed another spell which was capable of stealing other spells, the Fire Emperor was filled with greed and wanted to covet these spells for himself.
He knew that if he was able to steal some of these spells from Xu Que, it would be very easy for him to transcend into the Void Refining Stage. In fact, he might even be able to achieve higher enlightenment!
"Hahaha! Dog Emperor, look at how the jade seal doesn't recognize you anymore. In fact, it even thinks that I'm the true chosen one of the heavens. Maybe you shouldn't remain the Emperor any longer. With a single palm, I can banish you from the throne and even flatten you into a pancake!"
Xu Que ignored the Fire Emperor's question and laughed out before exposing the Troops character to everyone.
Using the Troops Secret Character once more, he activated that massive golden aura jade seal and felt immense powers at his fingertips. In fact, it felt like he had the ability of moving mountains.
Boundless of powerful energy emanated out from the jade seal before it changed directions and started moving towards the Fire Emperor.
With a loud boom, the golden aura jade seal had been reactivated once more and killing intent emanated out from from it as it charged ferociously towards the Fire Emperor.
"What?" The Fire Emperor was astounded as he opened his eyes wide in shock.
Forget the fact that he had lost control of the jade seal. How could Xu Que have gained such immaculate control of it and even used it against its owner? That is an act which defies the heavens!
Whoosh!
At this point, his shadow moved as he backed away in retreat.
Even someone as powerful as the Fire Emperor didn't dare to pit himself against the might of the jade seal. Especially since he no longer had the protection of the Imperial Qi, all he could do was to turn his head back in retreat!
"Haha! Why are you running? Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to compete with me? What has happened to the trust between people? We've only just started and you're already running away!" Xu Que started taunting as he continued conjuring the Troops Secret Character, sending the jade seal after the fleeing Emperor.
This sudden revelations caused everyone present to be extremely shocked as they opened their eyes wide in.
"How is this possible?"
"He even managed to gain control of the jade seal!"
"That's a powerful heirloom which had been passed on within the royal family for generations. How did he manage to pull that off?"
"The Fire Emperor has really embarrassed himself once again and thrown his face yet another time. As the monarch of a nation, how could he allow his enemy to steal the jade seal? That's the symbol of the Emperor's authority over the nation. His enemy has even managed to turn it against the Emperor himself!"
"And this Xu Que is really too outstanding! Where did he manage to learn such ancient spells? I've never even heard of it. Even Duan Jiu De would probably not have such spells under his belt too, huh?"
"Unless it came from the Heavenly Explosion Faction?"
"That sect is too mysterious and have many other geniuses as their disciples. This spell most probably originated from that sect!"
Many people within the audiences started speculating. They had started getting curious about the Heavenly Explosion Faction!
Most of the people however, were still focused on the battle between the pair of them.
Their hearts were extremely nervous!
Xu Que is truly too scary!
A mere Original Infant Stage could actually chase after an Infant Transformation elite cultivator. In fact, this isn't the first time this has happened!
The Fire Emperor had conjured his fastest moving spell in order to escape as he sped through the skies. However, the jade seal had taken such an immense size that it was as big as a mountain at this point.
Even though the Fire Emperor tried his hardest and managed to travel several kilometers away from the seal, all that Xu Que had to do was to flick his fingers to make the immense jade seal inch a little, covering all the ground which the Fire Emperor managed to gain.
After all, this was a Six Star grade weapon and it was truly terrifying!
Bully!
This was truly a case of bullying!
Nobody would've expected something like this to happen!
The crowd had always perceived the Fire Emperor to be extremely powerful and peerless. And yet he was being bullied by someone of lower cultivation level!
"Dog Emperor, you can't run away from me!" Xu Que had already caught up to the Fire Emperor.
The jade seal with its majestic golden aura was following overhead. As soon as Xu Que shouted out, the jade seal towered over the Fire Emperor, causing a large shadow to envelop his surroundings before it dropped down onto him.
"Boom!" The air around had started swirling from the pressure of the jade seal and were being compressed downwards.
The Fire Emperor had nowhere else to run. In the face of such an immense threat from the jade seal, he gritted his teeth and conjured the Imperial Qi once again in desperation.
The powerful and immense Imperial Qi wasn't completely sent away by the Fire Emperor. As soon as the Fire Emperor willed for it to appear, it poured out and wrapped the Emperor within the protective energy. Under the threat of the jade seal, the Imperial Qi shrouded around the Emperor.
"Bam!"
The Fire Emperor resembled a small housefly in comparison to the massive jade seal which descended down upon him!
Once again, he was hurled out from the sky and shot towards the ground violently. When he landed, a large crater was formed once again with rocks and debris thrown into the air.
With a loud "pu", the Fire Emperor spat out a huge glob of blood while his face was deathly pale even with the protection of the Imperial Qi as he conjured it too hastily in the face of such impending danger.
Xu Que's powers were intensified by 30 times with the Killer Sword as well as the newly plundered jade seal from the "Troops" Secret Character. Thus thee amount of damage dealt to the Fire Emperor was immense even for an Infant Transformation cultivator.
With such strong powers, the Fire Emperor simply had no way of withstanding the blow.
The crowd were overwhelmed as well and finally understood that Xu Que didn't just simply steal the jade seal. He had truly gained control of it as well and was able to maneuver it however he wished.
"How… How did he do it?" Flaming Sun Princess opened her mouth, wide eyed and in shock.
The jade seal was the Imperial family's heirloom. How could anyone outside of the imperial family, without the royal blood flowing in their veins, could possess the powers of the jade seal?
Chapter 219: Where's Your Toilet?
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Dog Emperor, you dare to break your promise and use the Imperial Qi again? You bastard!" Xu Que shouted out in anger as he controlled the jade seal once again and caused it to slam down upon the Fire Emperor!
The Fire Emperor didn't dare to say anything and neither did he have the time to heal his injuries. He slammed his palms onto the ground.
"Boom!"
Great power shook the ground, causing it to tremble violently as boundless energy seeped out from the cracks in the ground and surrounded him!
"Wham!"
At the exact same time, the gigantic jade seal descended down from the skies and landed heavily onto the Fire Emperor's body. The ground beneath the Emperor was facing so much stress that it cracked, causing a thick layer of dust to materialize.
Everyone present was shocked by this scene.
This was… damned vicious. Xu Que actually slammed the entire jade seal atop the Fire Emperor. He really tried to turn him into a pancake!
Most of the onlookers were terrified by such a scene.
The Flaming Sun Princess watched on and her pupils dilated. She clearly hadn't expected Xu Que to be so vicious in his methods.
However, she wasn't too worried about her father. This was because she had spotted the Fire Emperor drawing sufficient ancient Imperial Qi from the ground to defend himself.
Xu Que frowned, realizing that no system notifications informed him of his kill. With a wave of his hands, he lifted the gargantuan jade seal from the ground once again.
Dust filled the air and obscured his vision for a time. The Fire Emperor was crouching on the ground and was enveloped by the Imperial QI. However, it seemed like he was unconscious!
Right at this point, Xu Que's hands made a downward swing once again!
"Boom!"
The jade seal crashed onto the ground once again at the exact same spot.
Everyone's eyelids twitched in fear. "Fuck! He's still at it!"
"Bam!"
The jade seal landed heavily onto the ground, causing tremors once again. The walls around were shaking violently as the Fire Emperor sank further into the ground and the Imperial Qi was losing its brightness.
However, Xu Que still didn't hear the system notification. Realizing that there was no other option, he decided to do it again.
With a wave of his hands, he raised the jade seal into the air and slammed it down against the Emperor yet again.
"Bam! Bam!"
Xu Que allowed the jade seal to rise up before slamming onto the ground repeatedly. The intensity of each slam becoming more ferocious after each failed attempt.
All of a sudden, it seemed like a brilliant idea had came to him. He raised the jade seal high up into the air, before slamming it down thrice in rapid succession!
"Boom boom bam!"
Immediately after, he condensed his energy within his dantian and sang out loudly, "We-will, we-will, rock you!"
The crowd were stumped by this!
What the hell was he singing? Why didn't anyone understand?
"Boom boom bam!:
"We-will, we-will, rock you!"
Xu Que's beat started once again as he sang out loudly and confidently, "Buddy you're a boy make a big noise…"
The crowd were stupefied by this. Although nobody understood the lyrics, they were all pumped up since the music sounded so upbeat!
"Fuck me. This kid is even a Musician? His voice could really affect our moods!"
At this point, a cultivator shouted out, "No wonder that I can fill my blood heating up and I can't help but sing along to it!"
The crowd realized that Xu Que had probably cultivated in music and then their faces turned pale after realizing that they were all affected by his music.
This was way too vile. He was smashing the jade seal down on the Emperor while singing at the same time. He was truly trying to kill the Fire Emperor!
The Flaming Sun Princess had an ashen look across her face as she clenched her tiny fists. She looked at the Fire Emperor and saw that his Imperial Qi was almost depleted and finally couldn't take it any longer. She then shouted out, "Xu Que, stop it!"
"You want me to stop? Haha! Who do you think you are?" Xu Que laughed out coldly as he raised his hands up, causing the jade seal to lift up from the ground once more as he slammed it down and continued to sing!
Concubine Fantasy couldn't take it any longer as well. If the Fire Emperor died, she would be in trouble as well!
Realizing this, she looked at the few Infant Transformation Generals and shouted out, "Generals, what are you staring at? Protect the Emperor!"
"Yes!"
The few Generals hurriedly regained their senses and sped towards Xu Que.
Xu Que laughed out coldly as his finger snapped once, conjuring the Eight Waste Destruction Flames and drew out a perimeter around him with the flames. He then shouted out coldly, "Anyone who crosses this line, dies!"
The few Generals were taken aback by this. Their faces revealed fear as they hesitated.
They were aware of how potent and terrifying this mystical flames were.
Even the Fire Emperor was defeated by this flame. If the few of them stepped forward, they would definitely be broken by the flames as well and might even lose their lives!
For cultivators to reach such a stage in their cultivation, they all knew how precious their lives were and treasure it immensely. How could they bear to risk their lives?
Xu Que watched the few of them before looking at Concubine Fantasy and taunted them, "I couldn't tell that the dog Emperor had such fetishes! He passed you to me and allowed me to play with you for six years and yet you still remain so faithful to him. If you want your life to be cool, try being a cuckold. Today, I've finally learnt that there are such people around! I've finally learnt something!"
Pu!
Several people around spat out some blood. Damn it! How could you be so ignorant?! What's wrong with the Concubine showing concern for the Emperor? If the Fire Emperor died today, his Concubine would certainly not live as well. Of course, she wanted to act against you!
However, the phrase about "if you want your life to be cool, try being a cuckold" was rather witty. Looks like this kid is truly quite talented
"Ding!..." Right at this point, Xu Que could hear the system notification in his head.
His eyebrows were raised as his face revealed a look of excitement. Was this the notification which informed him that he had finally killed the Fire Emperor?
However, at the next moment, Xu Que's face turned black.
"System wishes to remind the host that danger is fast approaching. The current target has been congealing his Emperor's Energy and has already reached 98% completion." The system warned.
Xu Que was furious. This old bastard had already passed out yet he's still able to conjure the Emperor's Energy?
He was too immersed in trying to kill the Emperor but this Emperor was too much of a wastrel. He was actually using the precious Imperial Qi and Emperor's Energy all for Xu Que!
If it weren't for these two protective energies, Xu Que would've killed him!
And now… there wasn't any other choice. Without breaking through the Imperial Qi, it was impossible to kill the Fire Emperor. Also, he knew that once the Fire Emperor completes the Emperor's Energy transfer, he was certain that he would get defeated badly by the Fire Emperor!
"Damn it. Thankfully, I've mastered the Art of War. Thirty sixth strategy, let's go!" He muttered under his breath before raising the jade seal up one final time and placing it down upon the back of the Fire Emperor and left it there.
He then turned his gaze towards everyone and looked extremely intimidating.
The crowd paused and held their breaths in shock. They returned the gaze in astonishment. The atmosphere was extremely tense and nobody dared to move.
Their hearts were filled with fear. Why did this vile and evil kid stopped all of a sudden?
The few Infant Transformation Staged Generals had sullen looks across their faces as they lingered behind the line of fire drawn out by Xu Que. None of them had dared to take another step forward!
After all, they had seen Xu Que's crazed manner and noted that he had even defeated the Fire Emperor. If any of them stepped forward, none of them would survive.
After looking at everyone, Xu Que finally opened his mouth and spoke out, "I'm tired from all this fighting. I shall rest for a little while. Where's your toilet… err, I mean, washroom? I wish to smoke a cigarette and take a piss before resuming!" Xu Que spoke before sweeping his glance to his left and right. He then walked towards the throne room.
"..." The crowd's lips twitched.
Damn it! You're tired?
Big brother, do you even know what being tired is?
You seemed to be enjoying your fight so much, you even started singing a catchy song!
