Chapter 1352: A Person Unaccepted by Heaven and Earth
Inside and outside Tian Sha City.
Everyone wore a stunned expression, staring at Xu Que with bewildered gazes.
This lad... is his mouth too vicious?
Could there really be such a shameless person in the world?
Nishang Fairy and the woman in black clothes were also slightly dazed at this moment.
Probably accustomed to being pampered in the Immortal Cloud Continent, almost no one dared to show them such disrespect, and they had never encountered someone so shamelessly brazen, leaving them momentarily speechless.
In contrast, Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, and their group all wore expressions of complete calmness.
They were used to it!
If this lad Xu Que could ever have some shame, that would be truly abnormal!
Liu Jingning also pressed her lips together in a slight smile; it was somewhat surprising to her that Xu Que hadn't flirted with women this time!
But thinking about it, it made sense; this lad already had so many women; if he flirted with a few more, could his small frame handle it?
Thinking of this, Liu Jingning gazed from afar at Xu Que's figure, the smile on the corner of her mouth growing even deeper.
Mo Junchen struggled to swallow his saliva; previously, he knew that this Sect Master Xu feared neither heaven nor earth when causing trouble, doing as he pleased.
But after experiencing everything today, and seeing this lad show such disrespect to two Immortal Venerables now, he could only silently sigh in his heart: Sect Master is awesome!
"Boom—!"
At this moment, the Lightning Tribulation in the sky above was nearly taking shape.
Forty bolts of Golden Lightning condensed first, all gathering above the ten Immortal Kings, whereas above Xu Que's side, thunder clouds still churned violently, resembling the calm before a storm!
"Not good, we're running out of time!" Nishang Fairy recovered her senses and said with a furrowed brow.
"Forcefully break the Restriction!" the woman in black suggested.
Nishang Fairy, however, shook her head: "Impossible; this Restriction is very insidious; I don't know who set it up, but it secretly connects to a Teleportation Array; once we break it from the outside, it will trigger the teleportation and send us inside as well!"
"This..." The woman in black widened her eyes and said helplessly: "Truly wicked!"
Nishang Fairy also looked up at Xu Que and said solemnly: "Young Friend, I have no extra time to explain to you; regardless of what grudge you have with these Immortal Kings, I can guarantee that as long as you release them, no one within Tianzhou will dare to hold you accountable; I will resolve the enmity between you for you!"
"None of your damn business!" Xu Que rolled his eyes.
"You..." The Nishang Fairy immediately became angry but still restrained her temper, saying in a deep voice: "They truly cannot die now; the shackles on Tianzhou will soon be unlocked, and countless external enemies are eyeing Tianzhou; if you kill them, it will be equivalent to weakening more than half of Tianzhou's core strength; at that time, unable to resist external enemies, Tianzhou will fall!"
"Is it any of my damn business?" Xu Que rolled his eyes again.
He never believed any guarantees from powerhouses; moreover, his original intention was to kill these ten Immortal Kings; this woman coming out to stop him, regardless of how things were mediated in the end, clearly destined her to protect the lives of these ten Immortal Kings.
Therefore, there was absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter!
As for Tianzhou falling or whatever, he wouldn't care; future matters could be dealt with in the future; besides, entrusting the safety of Tianzhou to these ten foolish Immortal Kings was itself a stupid thing!
Just look at their cowardly, life-clinging appearances just now; were they the type to fight for Tianzhou?
Heh, naive!
"How can you be like this? Do you intend for everyone in Tianzhou to die because of you?" Nishang Fairy shouted angrily.
Xu Que's imperviousness made her very furious.
"I'll say it again: it's none of your damn business! Even if Tianzhou truly faces danger in the future, I'll bear it alone. I can kill these ten trash Immortal Kings; if any real external enemies come, I'll deal with them just the same; no need for you to worry!"
Xu Que replied with solemnity, his gaze also shifting toward the thunder clouds in the sky, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Why hasn't this Heavenly Tribulation arrived yet? Could it have chickened out again?
Does it need me to blow up the sky once more before it's willing to descend?
"You'll bear it? You, merely a Great Luo Immortal, where does your confidence come from to make such bold claims?" Nishang Fairy shouted angrily.
The woman in black clothes also couldn't bear to watch anymore and shook her head, saying: "Young brother, although this woman's words are unpleasant, it must be said that her words hold truth; these Immortal Kings truly cannot be killed! While there is still time, activate the Restriction first, release them, and we have ways to let them avoid the Heavenly Tribulation!"
At this moment, the Immortal Kings sitting cross-legged on the ground, frantically healing their injuries, were already extremely agitated.
Although they didn't know who those two Immortal Venerables outside were, the fact that they came out to save them meant they were two straws to grab onto in a drowning situation.
The Heavenly Might pressing down from the sky above, making it hard for them to breathe, was already pushing them to the brink of collapse.
The first wave of Heavenly Tribulation just now had nearly cost them their lives; if the next four waves truly descended, they would have absolutely no chance of survival.
"Regrettably, I am a man of my word; I said just now that not one of them would get away, so definitely not one will get away; if you are dissatisfied, I don't mind dragging you in to undergo the Tribulation together!" Xu Que shook his head, saying with a cold smile.
Nishang Fairy and the woman in black clothes both furrowed their brows tightly, looking at each other with considerable helplessness and anxiety.
They had never seen such a stubborn person, impervious to reason; it was too difficult!
The key point was that this lad even dared to threaten them with his words; he was simply a youth who knew neither the height of the sky nor the depth of the earth.
"Young Friend Xu, recognize the situation clearly and do not do something you will regret. Those two Immortal Venerable adults have already spoken; if you do not listen to advice, after you finish undergoing the Tribulation and come out, do you think you will be able to escape?" At this moment, an elder from the Shennong Clan, who had barely recovered a sliver of his injuries, spoke with difficulty.
He was truly afraid that Xu Que wouldn't listen to advice and would be determined to kill them, so he could only try to buy time by threatening and tempting them with persuasion.
That Immortal King woman, whose appearance should have been young but now looked aged, also opened her eyes, her face twisted into a ferocious look as she said: "I will only say this one last time: if you back down now, there is still a chance; at least no one will pursue past matters with you anymore! But if you kill us, even if those two Immortal Venerable adults do not pursue it, my sect and the Immortal Kings of other sects will absolutely not let you off!"
"Heh!"
Xu Que immediately let out a cold smile, spread his hands, and said: "Things have reached this stage, yet you still dare to threaten me like this; truly foolish! But it doesn't matter; even if you beg for mercy, I won't possibly let you go, so... wait peacefully for death, and stop spouting so much nonsense!"
Upon hearing these words, the hearts of the ten Immortal Kings instantly plummeted to the bottom.
They really couldn't understand whether this person was crazy or not, and why he insisted on going to such lengths.
The Cultivators within Tian Sha City felt even more alarmed, their scalps going numb.
Too ruthless!
This method was simply vicious enough to scare people to death!
Regardless of what Xu Que's disadvantage would be today, as long as he survives, from now on, apart from those Immortal Kings, no one in Tianzhou would dare to offend him.
However, this was precisely the situation Xu Que wanted!
This was also his style all along!
In a world where the strong are revered, if one wants to live and wants to avoid being targeted, the only way is to establish authority!
How to establish authority? Precisely like this!
Only when people feel fear will they dare not harbor malicious thoughts against you!
Once you take the first step back, there will be a second, then a third, until you are forced to the edge of a cliff, and those people will still force you to jump down!
Therefore, he could not retreat, could not make any concessions!
"Boom!"
In the end, the forty strands of Golden Lightning in the cloudy sky still fell!
Everyone watched this scene; ten Immortal Kings, each a peak existence capable of commanding Wind and Rain across Tianzhou, yet they met such a tragic end.
Amidst the forty strands of Golden Lightning, the ten Immortal Kings were instantly struck into ash, their souls dissipated!
Until the very moment of death, besides regret and remorse, what filled their hearts even more was disbelief; clearly, they still could not accept the fact that they had died just like this!
Nishang Fairy and the woman in black clothes both stood outside the Prohibition Array with gloomy expressions, saying nothing.
Clearly, Xu Que had angered both of these existences simultaneously.
But, he did not care.
Even at the moment the ten Immortal Kings were blasted to death, he had not glanced at those Immortal Kings once.
Beneath the surging Thunder Clouds filling the sky, this young man standing proudly between Heaven and Earth resembled a Demon God.
Such spirit, such ruthless methods, had been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the countless Cultivators present, becoming a shadow.
"With someone like this, does your Holy Moon Hall still dare to want him?" the woman in black clothes asked Nishang Fairy with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Nishang Fairy remained silent!
The woman in black clothes continued, "Anyway, my Heavenly Demon Palace dares not want him! Someone like this can easily bring about a catastrophe that destroys the entire sect!"
"What interests me now is how he will survive the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation! Haven't you noticed? This Heavenly Tribulation has been brewing for so long without falling, yet that Heavenly Might is even stronger than the tribulation that just dealt with those Immortal Kings!"
Speaking to this point, Nishang Fairy shook her head and said expressionlessly, "Someone like this is intolerable to Heaven and Earth. The upcoming Heavenly Tribulation is sufficient to take his Life!"
Rumble—!
At the same time, the Thunder Clouds in the firmament emitted a tremendous roar.
Four massive beams of golden light shone down from four huge Thunder Clouds, shooting straight toward the ground.
From within the first beam of golden light, a human figure stepped out, clad in golden armor and gripping a long spear, exuding overwhelming momentum!
"Human-shaped Lightning!" the woman in black clothes exclaimed in shock.
Within a Heavenly Tribulation, Human-shaped Lightning is absolutely the most difficult type.
And now, this level of difficulty actually appeared in an Ancient Calamity; it was simply terrifying!
"A Human-shaped Lightning of an Imperial Palace Heavenly General!"
Nishang Fairy also saw that Human-shaped Lightning; her gaze condensed, and she stated with even greater certainty, "This young man is destined not to live!"

【Fifth update, finally done! I feel like crying. Actually, I finished writing this Chapter over an hour ago, but when I selected everything to copy it up, I stupidly hit the delete key, causing instant chaos. I forgot about the undo function, made a bunch of blind idiotic operations, and successfully lost the manuscript. In the end, I had to rewrite it entirely from memory, but this version, I feel, is much better than the one that got deleted!
Alright, I'm going to sleep now; wait until I wake up tonight to continue with today's five Chapters!】
End of Chapter
