Chapter 1357: How Is This Possible?

Hiss!

Inside Tian Sha City, everyone present gasped sharply, their hearts shaken to the core.

With one hand, he crushed the Human-shaped Lightning?

Just a moment ago, he kicked apart one Heavenly General's Human-shaped Lightning, and now he has crushed a second Human-shaped Lightning with a single hand!

Oh my god, just how strong is this lad?

"Heavens! How exactly did he cultivate?"

"We are all Cultivators, so why is the gap between us so vast?"

Many Cultivators wore expressions of sheer horror, sighing in endless amazement.

"Tch, what's so special about that? Anyone worthy of joining our Awesome Faction must be as outstanding as Brother Que, right?" At this, Er Gouzi snorted disdainfully, his face filled with pride.

Duan Jiude's expression immediately changed: "Shut up! Damn it, Er Gouzi, you are leaking our Awesome Faction's secrets! How can you reveal that everyone in our Awesome Faction is a Heavenly Pride?"

"Damn it, I messed up, I messed up!" Er Gouzi immediately began pounding his chest in regret.

But the crowd present had already been completely stunned into silence.

Every single member of the Awesome Faction is as monstrous as Xu Que?

Damn it, how the hell are we supposed to compete with that?

"Wait a moment, I just remembered something!"

At this, someone suddenly shouted in alarm, their face filled with terror.

"Do you all still remember the Heavenly Cauldron List? Although few people in our Tianzhou pay attention to the Heavenly Cauldron List these days, and that thing hasn't manifested in Tianzhou for a long time, I once investigated that list; whether it was the Half Immortal List or the Human Immortal List, the top twenty spots were all occupied by a group of people whose names began with 'Awesome Faction'!"

Speaking to this point, that Cultivator swallowed hard with difficulty and continued, "At that time, no one in Tianzhou had heard of the Awesome Faction as a faction, and since everyone disregarded the Heavenly Cauldron List, I gradually forgot about this matter; but now, I suddenly feel... my scalp is tingling, and the more I think about it, the more terrified I become!"

"Hiss!"

The crowd present instantly inhaled a sharp breath of cold air.

Although the Heavenly Cauldron List is no longer valued in Tianzhou and is not considered an authoritative Ranking List of strength, some of Tianzhou's geniuses and elites are still included on the list.

This alone proves that reaching the upper ranks of the Heavenly Cauldron List is still quite difficult!

But now, someone is actually saying that the top twenty spots on the Heavenly Cauldron List have been occupied by the Awesome Faction!

This is... far too terrifying, isn't it?

If just one Xu Que is this powerful, then if every member of the Awesome Faction is as monstrous as Xu Que, wouldn't they dominate every Immortal Domain in Tianzhou?

"Everyone, this Divine Venerable was merely joking just now; do not take it seriously!" At this, Er Gouzi explained solemnly to the crowd.

Duan Jiude also nodded: "That's right, would you really believe such absurd nonsense? Haha, it was truly just a joke!"

"..."

The entire crowd turned to look at Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, remaining silent.

If Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude hadn't tried to explain, it would have been fine; but with this explanation, it only made their attempt to cover up the truth even more obvious!

You were just joking earlier?

Only a fool would believe that; this is absolutely not a joke!

In their hearts, everyone immediately confirmed a "fact"—within the mysterious faction known as the Awesome Faction, every single Heavenly Pride is as monstrous as Xu Que!

At the same time, outside the Forbidden Zone.

The woman in black clothes stood stunned in place, utterly bewildered.

The scene of Xu Que crushing the head of the Human-shaped Lightning with one hand delivered too great a shock to the woman in black.

Domineering!

Aside from domineering, it was nothing but domineering!

This man is too strong!

Nishang Fairy felt shaken to her core, yet her expression was extremely ugly.

After all, the one crushed by Xu Que was a Human-shaped Lightning modeled after her very form!

"Boom!"

At this moment, the Fourth Thunder Cloud had also begun to brew, triggering rolls of thunder that echoed throughout Heaven and Earth.

Judging by the commotion, it was clearly far more powerful than the previous Thunder Clouds.

Xu Que, however, remained perfectly solemn.

He had basically figured it out: this Ancient Calamity could not harm him nor break through his defense; as long as he used the King of Acting Cool Fist or the King of Arrogance Leg, he could forcibly break through anything.

When he crushed Nishang Fairy's Human-shaped Lightning just now, he used the power brought by the King of Acting Cool Fist, combined with the power amplification of his Saint Body, which was sufficient to create immense destructive force!

Therefore, no matter what he faced next, he had nothing to fear!

"Yo, missy, why are you staring at me so fiercely?" At this, Xu Que even took a moment to glance at Nishang Fairy.

This woman was staring dead at him, brimming with Killing Intent; it would be hard not to notice.

"Are you intentionally humiliating me?" Nishang Fairy said in a cold voice.

"I humiliate you?" Xu Que immediately burst into laughter, shaking his head with a smile: "If I wanted to humiliate you, I wouldn't have crushed your head just now; I would have crushed some other head!"

"???" Nishang Fairy frowned, somewhat unable to understand the meaning behind Xu Que's words.

The woman in black clothes beside her also paused for a moment, then immediately burst out laughing with a "puchi" sound, her body shaking like flowers in the wind!

The crowd in Tian Sha City also heard this; they all froze for a moment, then realized what was meant, immediately twitching the corners of their mouths.

Too vile; this lad's mouth is truly too vile!

If you aren't going to crush someone's head, then where the hell else do you want to crush?

"Brother Que is awesome!" Although Er Gouzi didn't actually understand the reasoning either, he felt that shouting "awesome" at a time like this was definitely the right move!

"Simply unbelievable!" Duan Jiude also had black lines across his forehead; clutching his chest, he said, "That remark made even my old man's grandmother's teeth ache!"

……

"Bang!"

At this moment, a dull thud suddenly rang out from within the Forbidden Zone.

Everyone turned to look, utterly dumbfounded.

Xu Que had originally been standing in place with a cheeky grin, yet he was suddenly blasted away by a tremendous force, his entire body smashing hard onto the ground and skidding dozens of meters, dragging out a long ditch across the entire surface!

This sudden scene instantly shocked everyone in the arena.

Even the Nishang Fairy and the woman in black failed to react immediately, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

But very quickly, everyone saw clearly.

A golden figure, transforming into a streak of light, was chasing Xu Que.

Clearly, Xu Que being blasted away just now was caused by that golden figure.

This was the Fourth Heavenly Tribulation, also the third Human-shaped Lightning; it had emerged so quickly and struck with such ferocity!

Most terrifying of all, this Human-shaped Lightning's strength was obviously superior to the previous two.

Its speed was extremely fast, nearly impossible for the naked eye to capture, making it very difficult to see how it attacked.

"Damn it, a sneak attack?"

Almost simultaneously, Xu Que quickly scrambled up from the ground, his face filled with rage.

Seeing the golden beam behind him already rushing before his eyes, Xu Que instantly gripped the Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff, stepped upon a patch of lightning, flickered his form, and killed forward!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A continuous series of explosive crashes instantly rang out across the arena; Xu Que and that Human-shaped Lightning had become a black shadow and a golden beam, constantly clashing, their movements so fast that many found it difficult to see clearly.

Only the Nishang Fairy and the woman in black, upon noticing the appearance of that golden lightning, suddenly shuddered all over, their faces revealing a look of horror as they froze in place.

"This... how is this possible?"

"The third Human-shaped Lightning is the young Immortal Emperor Yongzhen?"

……

……
