Chapter 1117

Two days ago, that precious Floating Pagoda Relic, though a fake, was already one of the few life-saving means Zeng Foye possessed.

But it was a one-time consumable; once used, it was gone. As for his other life-saving means, they were clearly insufficient to deal with so many Human Immortal Realm experts.

So now, Zeng Foye had no choice but to flee!

"Haha, the Bomb Heaven Gang? Zeng Foye, do you think anyone would believe such absurd words?" Ming Gongzi laughed loudly from behind, filled with contempt.

He did not believe Xu Que was from the Bomb Heaven Gang; after all, the Bomb Heaven Gang had always been active on the Earth Continent, and no one had ever heard of them in Xuanhuang Province.

Besides, if they were truly from the Bomb Heaven Gang, how could they have fallen to such a state?

"Hmph, one day you will regret this!" Zeng Foye snorted coldly, then said no more, for there was no point in saying anything else!

"Elder... please leave me behind. They want to capture me. Take Xu Que and run first!" At this moment, Lin Yuxi, her face pale, said in a trembling voice.

She knew that in Ming Gongzi's eyes, Xu Que was just an ordinary fool, unworthy of him sending the Inn Shopkeeper and men to capture him. The only possibility was that they were after her.

"Stop talking. In this situation, it's useless for anyone to stay!" Zeng Foye shook his head. Even if Lin Yuxi was willing to stay, he knew Ming Gongzi would not let them go.

"Haha, Zeng Foye is right. Today, I, Ming Cheng, will definitely take the lives of you, Zeng Foye, and that fool! Everyone listen well: except for that woman, kill everyone else!" Ming Gongzi laughed loudly and ordered the dozen or so Human Immortal Realm guards.

Boom!

In the next instant, more than a dozen Dharma Spells swept in from all directions, raining down upon Zeng Foye like a sky-shattering storm!

"Whoosh!"

Zeng Foye immediately summoned the Buddha Beads on his body, releasing a burst of Golden Beam to block in front of him.

However, as various Dharma Spells crashed down, the Buddha Beads instantly shattered, and the entire Golden Beam dispersed and broke apart.

"Pfft!"

Zeng Dafoye spat a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot; his injuries, which had just stabilized, instantly worsened.

Whoosh!

At this moment, two more Dharma Spells arrived.

A trace of unwillingness and anger flashed across Zeng Dafoye's face, but he was powerless to turn the tide; he could only forcefully cast a Dharma Spell to meet them head-on.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a dull thud, the two Dharma Spells struck completely.

One of them hit Foye squarely in the chest, knocking him out of the air with a mouthful of fresh blood.

The other Dharma Spell headed straight for Xu Que.

Lin Yuxi's face changed; she forced herself to cast a Dharma Spell to fly, shielding Xu Que in her arms and using her own body to block the spell!

"Hm?" In the distance, Ming Gongzi paused, frowning.

He had wanted Lin Yuxi to live, but seeing her act of risking her own life to save Xu Que instantly displeased him.

"Hmph, if you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!" Ming Gongzi snorted coldly and stopped his subordinates from saving Lin Yuxi.

However, in that instant, Xu Que's previously lifeless pupils suddenly gleamed with light, his deep gaze gathering like the descent of a Heavenly Myth.

"Boom!"

A hand suddenly reached out from Lin Yuxi's embrace, formed into a fist, twisted the Void, and gathered a massive, violent force, striking out directly!

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, that Dharma Spell was instantly shattered by a single punch.

"What?"

"This... how is this possible?"

"That lad's fist shattered the Dharma Spell?"

Instantly, Ming Gongzi and the dozen or so guards widened their eyes in disbelief.

At the same time, Lin Yuxi seemed to sense something and looked down at the person in her arms.

The lad she had been shielding, whose head was now buried in her chest, looked up at her with eyes full of complexity.

"Xu... Xu Que, are you okay?" Lin Yuxi was instantly filled with shock; she felt as if Xu Que had returned.

However, Xu Que did not answer. Instead, he left her embrace, stepped back a few paces, and then shot toward Ming Gongzi and the others like a meteor!

Boom!

Following that, only a deafening roar was heard as a powerful aura erupted from Xu Que's body, followed by a vast torrent of Immortal Yuan pouring out of him like a flood.

This was because his divine consciousness had emerged from the Green Lotus World, causing a hole to form in the Green Lotus World and allowing the vast Immortal Yuan to leak out.

"Hmph!"

Xu Que's face immediately darkened; he slapped his Dantian Mansion, directly sealing the flow of Immortal Yuan within his Dantian.

At this moment, his mood was extremely bad. His cold eyes, black as ink, like gleaming sword stars, swept directly over Ming Gongzi and his group as he spoke indifferently: "I ask only one question: who just hit me?"

Swish!

Everyone in the arena was instantly startled.

Ming Gongzi and the dozen or so guards were deeply shocked, their faces filled with horror.

The "fool" who had possessed no cultivation just moments ago had, in the blink of an eye, become an existence in the Human Immortal Realm Mid Stage. The key was that this lad's aura was simply too powerful, making people feel suffocated, with their scalps tingling numbly.

"Damn it, this lad... could he really be from the Bomb Heaven Gang?" one guard said uneasily, feeling a sense of anxiety in his heart.

"Slap!"

Ming Gongzi directly slapped that guard hard across the face, shouting angrily: "You fool, what nonsense are you spouting? Use your brain to think: how could someone from the Bomb Heaven Gang appear in Xuanhuang Province? This is just a fool in the Human Immortal Realm Mid Stage. With so many of us, how could we fear just one of him?"

"Young Master, forgive me!" That guard immediately lowered his head.

"Kill them! This time, hold nothing back. Kill that woman too!" Ming Gongzi shouted coldly.

"Yes!"

The dozen or so guards, unable to think further, immediately responded and simultaneously cast Dharma Spells. Their figures turned into streams of Light Stream, charging forward with surging Killing Intent.

Xu Que, expressionless, stared indifferently at the approaching figures and shook his head: "Ants!"

Having spoken, he waved his large hand and directly summoned forth that Half-Grade Immortal Artifact-level Sword.

"Sword Spirit, I am injured; leave these people to you!"

Xu Que gave the instruction, then paid no further heed, sitting cross-legged in mid-air. He produced over a hundred Spirit Crystal Stones from his hand, directly absorbing Immortal Yuan and crazily drawing it into his body.

In fact, his current state was far from optimistic; a hole had opened in the Green Lotus World, and Immortal Yuan was leaking out. If not repaired soon, his own cultivation would suffer a massive impact.

Thus, he had no time to attend to those dozen-plus Human Immortal Realm experts. In his eyes, these people were truly like ants; even personally striking out felt troublesome.

"An Immortal Artifact? This Lad possesses an Immortal Artifact?" At the same time, upon seeing Xu Que's Sword, the crowd exclaimed in shock.

"Seize him!" Lord Ming shouted from the rear, his eyes filled with Greed.

Whoosh!

But just then, a vast expanse of Black Fog surged from the Sword, instantly condensing in mid-air into a dark shadow.

It grasped the Sword, glanced once at Xu Que, then directly charged toward those dozen-plus guards to kill.

"This... what is this thing?"

"A Sword Spirit? My heavens, this is actually a formed Sword Spirit?" The numerous guards were all startled, looking at the Sword Spirit with Disbelief.

Lord Ming furrowed his brows, then roared: "What are you still staring at? Seize that Sword Spirit first and snatch the Immortal Artifact! We are too close to Seven-Star Academy; if we do not hurry, it will attract trouble!"

"Yes!"

The dozen-plus guards no longer hesitated, each forming a Dharma Spell, and charged toward the Sword Spirit to surround and kill.

Although these guards were all of the Human Immortal Realm, and moreover were Fake Human Immortal Realm lacking the Dao Rhyme of Life and Death, under the combined effort of over a dozen people, they still constituted a force not to be underestimated.

The Sword Spirit possessed only one Half-Grade Immortal Artifact Sword, unable to unleash much strength; furthermore, without Xu Que's assistance, it was difficult to gain the upper hand immediately.

After all, in the end, the Sword Spirit was merely an existence for enhancement and assistance; only in Xu Que's hands could it unleash powerful might. Fighting alone, it would always be restricted!

At this moment, facing many with one, it could only achieve a situation of evenly matched strength.

At the same time, within Seven-Star Academy.

Several old men meditating in the Spirit Gathering Array, seemingly sensing something, suddenly opened their eyes.

"This is... the aura of an Immortal Artifact?"

"An Immortal Artifact has actually appeared at the foot of Seven-Star Academy's Mountain?"

"No, not only an Immortal Artifact, but also a very powerful Evil Qi; it is either Demon or Devil!"

"Quick, descend the Mountain to investigate. Since this Immortal Artifact has appeared at the foot of our Seven-Star Academy's Mountain, it should be an object of our Seven-Star Academy!"

"Wait a moment. Yesterday, the Dean instructed that today, the Tianyue Palace from the Zhen Yuan Immortal Realm of the Earth Continent would arrive for an inspection; we must all go to receive them!"

"Why the rush? Descend the Mountain to look first; it will not waste much time!"

"Very well; after all, it is an Immortal Artifact; we cannot miss it!"
