Chapter 1113: He is a Member of the Exploding Heaven Gang

"Hm?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper turned around immediately, looked at the person who had arrived, and his brows furrowed at once: "Zeng Dafoye!"

"Hehe, Shopkeeper, I have a connection with this young man. For my sake, how about you let them go?" Zeng Dafoye squinted his eyes and smiled faintly.

But at this moment, he was very surprised in his heart; he had not expected to run into Xu Que here.

Ever since he had ascended and arrived at the Xuanhuang Continent, Zeng Dafoye's experiences had not been smooth sailing. From being a peak expert in the Xuanzhen Continent, he had suddenly fallen to being a Half-Immortal Stage cultivator at the very bottom of the Xuanhuang Continent; the gap was truly quite enormous.

But fortunately, his luck had been good these past few years. He had met some people from the Buddhist sect, even received guidance from a high-level Buddhist expert, and gained some inheritance. In just a few short years, he had successfully stepped from the Half-Immortal Stage into the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm, and he was considered somewhat famous in the vicinity of Seven Sons City.

In normal times, the shopkeeper would certainly have given the Buddha Master this bit of face, but now, he was acting according to the instructions of that young master, so naturally, it was impossible for him to give the Buddha Master face.

"Buddha Master, I'm afraid you cannot intervene in this matter. I also advise you best not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise, you will be the one to suffer!" The shopkeeper replied coldly and indifferently.

"Oh? I wonder how this young friend of mine has offended you?" Zeng Dafoye was startled and asked again.

At the same time, he also curiously sized up Xu Que, having already noticed that Xu Que's state was very wrong, and he was very stunned in his heart.

This did not look like the lawless young man from his impression back then!

Moreover, in the last two or three years, he had constantly seen the Heavenly Cauldron List being refreshed in the Xuanhuang Continent. The three words "Exploding Heaven Gang" not only shook the Earth Continent, but in the Xuanhuang Continent, they also shocked all directions, and were even spread in a very exaggerated manner.

Added to the fact that people from the Xuanhuang Continent could often encounter people from the Earth Continent in some secret realm trials, the flow of information between the two continents was not blocked at all, and thus they had obtained a lot of information related to the Exploding Heaven Gang.

And in the last two years, the latest news obtained by the Xuanhuang Continent was that the famous Heaven-Reaching Academy and the Artifact Sect, along with more than a dozen major factions, had actually been completely wiped out by the Exploding Heaven Gang.

Today's Earth Continent's Zhenyuan Immortal Realm was dominated by the Heaven-Establishing Academy, and there were several major factions allied with it. The most terrifying thing was that these factions had all voluntarily become subsidiaries of the Exploding Heaven Gang, so in the final analysis, except for the Zhenyuan Daoist, the Earth Continent's Zhenyuan Immortal Realm was the world of the Exploding Heaven Gang.

And the most critical point was that when Zeng Dafoye was in the Xuanzhen Continent back then, he knew that Xu Que was a member of the Exploding Heaven Gang, so when he first saw the news about the Exploding Heaven Gang, he knew that Xu Que had arrived.

But he had not expected that meeting Xu Que again would be in such a situation.

"Hehe, Buddha Master, let me be plain with you. This young man and this girl did not offend me, but Young Master Ming!" At this time, the shopkeeper gave a cold laugh and whispered to the Buddha Master.

Zeng Dafoye's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

Young Master Ming, the Ming Family—that was a prestigious and powerful clan in the Li Kingdom. The point was that the Ming Family had also produced a Saintess, who was the current favorite concubine of the Li Kingdom's Emperor.

Although he, Zeng Dafoye, had some fame in this small territory, compared to Young Master Ming, he was still far from being comparable.

However, Zeng Dafoye had never taken himself too seriously. Over these years in the Xuanhuang Continent, he had adjusted his mindset, from being a big shot to a small fry.

The only thing he had confidence in now was Xu Que's identity: the Exploding Heaven Gang.

If it could be said that he, Zeng Dafoye, was far inferior to the Ming Family, then the entire Li Kingdom, and even more than half of the Xuanhuang Continent, were not as good as a major faction in the Zhenyuan Immortal Realm, let alone the Heaven-Establishing Academy, and they didn't even have the qualifications to be compared with the Exploding Heaven Gang!

So now, the Buddha Master was considering whether he should reveal Xu Que's identity.

"Everyone, listen to my words. This young man's background is extraordinary. I advise you not to touch him before things blow up, otherwise..." Zeng Dafoye paused slightly, and the hint was already very obvious.

However, these words fell into the ears of the crowd as a big joke.

"Haha, Zeng Dafoye, are you making up a joke? A fool, what kind of background could he have? Could it be that he is a royal relative of the Li Kingdom? Or someone from another major country?" The shopkeeper burst into laughter immediately.

"What if he is from the Exploding Heaven Gang?" Zeng Dafoye's expression sank, and he asked indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd present was startled, and the shopkeeper also opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a moment.

Subsequently, a burst of laughter erupted.

"Hahaha, Zeng Dafoye, have you lost your mind?"

"The Exploding Heaven Gang? If you said this kid was a prince from the neighboring Jin Kingdom, we might still doubt it, but you actually say this guy is from the Exploding Heaven Gang?"

"These words are too outrageous."

Several guards present, along with some cultivators watching the excitement, all shook their heads and laughed.

Although Zeng Dafoye was also a person with some status, and his words should carry some weight, his words were too absurd. Of all things to make up, he actually made up something about the Exploding Heaven Gang.

Nowadays, who didn't know how terrifying the Exploding Heaven Gang was? Every one of them could fight a hundred, no, they were completely terrifying geniuses who could kill enemies two stages above them.

Yet now, Zeng Dafoye said a foolish kid was from the Exploding Heaven Gang; who could believe that?

"He really is a member of the Exploding Heaven Gang!" At this time, Lin Yuxi's eyes also lit up, and she said.

Over these years, she had also heard many rumors about the Exploding Heaven Gang. Recalling that when Xu Que was on Earth, he had once claimed to be from the Exploding Heaven Gang, she had always believed that the reason Xu Que was so outstanding was because he had joined the Exploding Heaven Gang.

It was just that too many things had happened during this period, and having just met Xu Que, she had forgotten about this matter. Now that it was brought up by the Buddha Master, Lin Yuxi realized that Xu Que was a member of the Exploding Heaven Gang.

"Hahaha, truly ridiculous!" The shopkeeper was also laughing, shaking his head repeatedly. "Do you know that if people from the Exploding Heaven Gang heard these words, you would all face a miserable end? Don't think that just because the Exploding Heaven Gang is in the Earth Continent, you can spout such nonsense. And don't take us for fools. If these words could bluff us, then you are underestimating us too much!"

"Heh, believe it or not, it's up to you, but today, I am determined to protect this kid!" Zeng Dafoye gave a cold laugh.

Seeing the attitude of these people, he knew that explaining further would be useless. The Exploding Heaven Gang was too mysterious, and it was difficult to prove whether Xu Que was from the Exploding Heaven Gang, so he simply stopped talking and prepared for a bitter battle to rescue Xu Que.

After all, the fact that he had been able to successfully ascend from the Xuanzhen Continent back then was also thanks to Xu Que. He owed Xu Que a big favor, and those who practiced Buddhism valued cause and effect; now was the time to repay the effect.

"You want to protect him? Haha, good, since the Buddha Master wants to die, we have no reason not to fulfill it!" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he waved his large hand.

Swoosh!

Instantly, several guards directly summoned their dharma artifacts, pinched dharma seals, and with brilliant radiance, killed towards Zeng Dafoye.

These people were also existences at the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm. With six attacking one to besiege Zeng Dafoye, the situation could be imagined.

In just a few rounds, Zeng Dafoye directly fell into a disadvantage.

And that shopkeeper did not make a move. Seeing several guards pinning down Zeng Dafoye, a cold laugh flashed across his face, and his gaze went directly to Xu Que and Lin Yuxi as he strode over.

"Despicable person, don't you dare touch him!" Lin Yuxi's face turned pale, and she directly shielded Xu Que behind her, looking at the approaching shopkeeper with extreme nervousness.

"Hehe, little girl, you can't even protect yourself, why are you shielding a fool?" The shopkeeper gave a cold laugh.

Immediately after, only a "swoosh" was heard as his figure turned into a phantom. In the blink of an eye, he reached behind Lin Yuxi, raised his palm like a blade, and slashed directly at Xu Que's forehead!

"No!" Lin Yuxi's expression changed immediately, and she screamed out.

But she could only be anxious, yet had no way to do anything. A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, in this kind of place, facing an existence at the Human Immortal Realm, what use could she be?

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the shopkeeper's palm slammed heavily onto the top of Xu Que's head.

Lin Yuxi's face turned deathly pale instantly, her eyes full of despair and sorrow. She had not expected that having just met Xu Que, it would be in such a situation.

"No, no..." Her body trembled, and she didn't even dare to look back, unable to accept the sight of Xu Que's death.

But just at this moment, the shopkeeper's terrified voice came from behind her: "This... this is impossible?"

Lin Yuxi was startled and also turned her head abruptly, only to be filled with astonishment.

The shopkeeper's palm was still slashed on Xu Que's head, but this guy was not only unharmed, he was also staring at the shopkeeper with an icy expression.

Amidst the shopkeeper's terrified expression, Xu Que actually said expressionlessly: "The head can be broken, but the hairstyle must not be messed up!"

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, Xu Que threw a punch, and with a "puff," the entire fist instantly pierced through the shopkeeper's chest, dripping with blood!

In an instant, the whole scene was silent, without a sound!
