Chapter 1181: Xu Que's Dad Is Truly Strong!

"Heh..."

A triumphant smile, brimming with mockery, had already appeared on Yi Zhong's face.

The remaining Heavenly Prides present, along with the various Guardians and Disciples, all shook their heads in speechlessness.

Now they finally understood; Yi Zhong held a grudge against this old man and was deliberately using this excuse to kill him!

Pity that this old man lacked any sense of propriety; he was actually provoked into anger and wanted to fight Yi Zhong—what difference was there between that and seeking death?

Yi Zhong was one of the God Son Candidates of the Shennong Clan, his strength not to be underestimated; even though he said he would suppress his realm to the Half-Immortal Realm, killing an old man already heavily injured would still be effortless!

To everyone present, this point seemed entirely reasonable, with no possibility of any miracle occurring!

After all, this old man truly looked far too weak, and that aura of Death Qi within his body was absolutely not something that could be faked!

"Elder Xu, you cannot make this decision yourself; you must leave!" Bai Cailing was very firm this time, directly opposing Xu Que; she could see that although this old man knew many Secret Techniques and possessed extraordinary methods, he was ultimately only at the Half-Immortal Realm.

Even if Yi Zhong voluntarily suppressed himself to the Half-Immortal Realm, this Elder Xu was in no way comparable to Yi Zhong; strength and methods could not be conflated!

Especially since the Dharma Spells Yi Zhong cultivated were all focused on offense, making his combat power astonishing; a competition was precisely about who was better at killing and fighting, so what use was it for this Elder Xu to know how to restore the Pantao Garden or remove malicious qi when it came to this kind of one-on-one battle?

"Say no more; my fate is determined by me, not by heaven! Today, I fight for dignity; even if I starve to death, die outside, or jump down from here, I will still participate in this competition!" Xu Que declared with absolute resolve, then immediately stepped forward and stood before Yi Zhong.

He raised the Cane in his hand, pointing it at Yi Zhong, and the tail end of the Cane even tilted upward slightly.

"Come at me!" In the next moment, Xu Que sank his Qi into his dantian and shouted loudly.

"Hmph, old thing, if I don't chop you into pieces today, my name isn't Yi Zhong!" With a cold smile, Yi Zhong gave Bai Cailing no chance to intervene again, suddenly summoning a Black Halberd and slashing down from mid-air!

Boom—

The Black Halberd tore through the Void, rolling up sheets of Lightning, carrying terrifying pressure as it instantly chopped down toward Xu Que's head.

"Not good, that's a Half-Grade Immortal Artifact!" A Golden Immortal Realm Guardian from the Yao Pond immediately cried out in shock.

Bai Cailing's face was also filled with rage; although Yi Zhong had suppressed his own realm to the Half-Immortal Realm, he had summoned a Half-Grade Immortal Artifact, which clearly meant he intended to suppress and kill Xu Que.

The other Heavenly Prides present, however, wore expressions of solemnity; Yi Zhong's victory was only logical, and even without using a Half-Grade Immortal Artifact, no one thought he would lose, though employing one would simply make this meaningless competition end a bit faster!

"Crack!"

Amidst the roaring interweaving of brilliant Lightning, the Black Halberd pierced forth from the Void with extreme speed, landing on top of Xu Que's head in the blink of an eye.

Xu Que's "aged" body appeared incredibly insignificant beneath the Black Halberd, his momentum completely crushed as if he couldn't make any evasive moves or reactions, only having time to raise his trembling arm to block above his head.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a shocking rumble, the Black Halberd smashed down heavily.

Everyone saw clearly that this halberd strike did not miss but solidly smashed onto Xu Que's arm!

But in the next moment, the expected scene of the old man's body shattering did not appear; instead, Yi Zhong, who was holding the Black Halberd, suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost, his arm bursting open with wounds while his entire person was blasted flying, crashing heavily onto the ground with a face pale from shock.

Looking again at that old man, he was already leaning on his Cane once more, one hand behind his back, his robes fluttering, appearing as calm as a drifting cloud and gentle breeze, just like a reclusive expert.

His deep, aged gaze, filled with utter indifference, swept over Yi Zhong on the ground, and he shook his head, saying, "Too weak!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, everyone present finally reacted, their mouths hanging open in disbelief.

"Th-this... how is this possible?" the Golden Immortal Realm Guardian from the Yao Pond exclaimed in shock.

Bai Cailing's small mouth also gaped slightly, spiritual light swirling in her beautiful eyes as she stared in utter astonishment.

Ji Wu Yun, a Heavenly Pride from the Shadow Pagoda, tightened his expression, his hands under his sleeves trembling slightly as he whispered, "This old man's Flesh Body is extraordinary!"

The others were also shocked in their hearts; they too had realized that the old man had not used any Immortal Yuan just now, purely relying on his Flesh Body to injure Yi Zhong.

Such a powerful Flesh Body, capable of withstanding a Half-Grade Immortal Artifact wielded at the Half-Immortal Realm, was absolutely shocking to the world.

Looking across the world, even that Dao Fetus Divine Body from the Holy Sect would likely find it very difficult to achieve!

"You... you... impossible, how can your Flesh Body be so strong? You must be wearing Lower Grade Immortal Artifact-level protective gear!" At this moment, Yi Zhong had already climbed up from the ground and roared at Xu Que.

He truly could not accept this result; what he thought was a certain kill had ultimately resulted in him being injured by the backlash!

The key was that this old man was only at the Half-Immortal Realm, filled with Death Qi, with one foot already in the grave, yet he, a proud Heavenly Pride of the Shennong Clan who had suppressed his realm and summoned a Half-Grade Immortal Artifact, had gained no advantage whatsoever and instead suffered a loss; who could accept such a situation!

"I never use Immortal Artifacts, because I have already achieved the unity of man and artifact; my nickname is 'Artifact Man,' and if you are beaten to death by me, you can also call me 'Qi-Death Man'!" Xu Que looked at Yi Zhong and replied indifferently, exuding the bearing of a supreme expert.

At this moment, Ji Wu Yun couldn't help but look toward Bai Cailing, his lips moving slightly as he asked via Sound Transmission, "Holy Maiden Bai, what is this old man's background?"

"This... actually, I still don't know his name yet, but he is the father of a friend of mine, so we all call him Elder Xu, while outsiders call him 'Xu Que's dad'!" Bai Cailing replied with a bitter smile, her heart also filled with shock.

She never expected that Xu Que's dad would be so formidable, nothing like his sickly appearance suggested.

Obviously, this old gentleman was still very hard!

Yes, his physique is very hard! Very robust!

"Xu Que's dad!"

Ji Wu Yun murmured the title to himself, committing it to memory, and his gaze turned meaningfully toward Xu Que!

He was very curious about what kind of Flesh Body Dharma Spell this old gentleman had cultivated... no, this was no longer a level of Body Cultivation that a Flesh Body Dharma Spell could achieve; this was absolutely a powerful Flesh Body constitution, one not even inferior to the Dao Fetus Divine Body!

"Hmm? Why are you calling me? Is there something you need?" Suddenly, Xu Que turned around and asked Ji Wu Yun.

Ji Wu Yun was momentarily stunned, then smiled bitterly; his single whisper had actually been heard—this old gentleman was truly not simple!

Immediately, he followed up with a smiling question: "Mr. Xu, I would like to ask, is your Flesh Body a Divine Body?"

"Divine Body?"

A look of disdain immediately appeared on Xu Que's face, and he gave a cold smile: "Hmph, how can a mere Divine Body be compared to me? Open your eyes wide and see clearly what kind of constitution I possess!"

Having said this, he grabbed the clothes on his body and yanked them fiercely!

"Rip!"

The entire robe shattered into fragments and fell away, revealing his robust upper torso, perfect muscle lines, and skin as tender as jade to everyone present.

Everyone in the arena instantly froze in stupor.

Was this a body that a sickly old man should have?

At the same time, Xu Que turned to face the crowd and lifted his proud head!

"Saint... Saint Body?"

Everyone stared at the two characters on Xu Que's chest, shining with brilliant golden beams, and their minds instantly went blank!

In this day and age, is there really someone who writes their constitution on their chest?

This old fellow...

So showy!
