Chapter 1477: Dead (Second Update)

At this moment, Xu Que hung suspended in midair like an icy statue.

He was no longer frenzied and terrifying; though motionless, no one dared approach him even a hair's breadth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The turbulent energy within him had reached a critical point, causing his skin to occasionally rumble with shock.

Even his flesh body, as powerful as his Saint Body constitution, could not withstand this energy; multiple parts of his torso bulged outward, only to rapidly shift position.

Until, moments later, the energy began to sink, gathering almost entirely in his legs, which swelled violently as if overinflated with gas until deformed.

"Gurgle! Gurgle!"

A strange sound echoed within him, gradually rippling outward until it filled the entire arena.

Everyone present twitched an eyelid, their faces revealing astonishment!

This... this is...

"Oh no, run! Xu Que is going to explode!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

Immediately, millions of cultivators reacted as if mad, scattering in all directions!

They all sensed the terrifying energy emanating from Xu Que; once it exploded, all living beings within its range would be devastated.

In the distance.

Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude also turned to look.

"No way? That kid's energy... is he going to explode?"

The man and the dog immediately sensed danger, their expressions stiffening as they exchanged a glance.

"What do we do? Save him or not?"

"Save your mother, run! Next year we'll burn more spirit money and candles for that kid."

"Damn, you're truly a dog! Xu Que treated you well back in the day..." Duan Jiude cried out in heartbroken anguish.

Er Gouzi, watching Duan Jiude who had already fled far away, cursed furiously, "You damn bastard ran faster than this Divine Venerable; where is your face?"

"Progress 60%... 65%..."

At this moment, Xu Que's left leg had swollen to the size of Er Gouzi's entire body!

Had he not cultivated the Underworld Prison Suppression Body, in such a state he would have long since become fertilizer for Heaven and Earth.

The more turbulent the energy within him became, the more tense everyone felt!

In half a minute, they had retreated hundreds of miles, yet they could still sense Xu Que's energy!

That chaotic energy hung like a blade capable of slaying immortals behind everyone's heads, liable to fall at any second.

"Progress 99%!"

"Boom!"

A massive explosion spread throughout the Tianzhou Region...

One of Xu Que's legs had exploded!

Merely the chaotic energy from that single leg devastated thousands of square miles of territory beyond recognition!

Cultivators who had not yet fled far enough were instantly turned into blood mist by the aftermath of this human bomb, dying on the spot.

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for successfully Acting Cool invisibly; reward: 6,666 Acting Cool Points."

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for successfully Acting Cool invisibly; reward: 9,999 Acting Cool Points."

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for successfully Acting Cool invisibly; reward: 24,800 Acting Cool Points."

System notification sounds continuously rang in Xu Que's mind.

But Xu Que still possessed no consciousness at this time.

"Ding! Host 'Xu Que' successfully Acted Cool while the System was in slumber; retroactively rewarding 1.2 million Acting Cool Points!"

This 1.2 million was what Xu Que had earned by wiping out that group of Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables in a single move!

If Xu Que were still conscious, he would surely curse the System as a profiteer for skimming his Acting Cool Points!

Instantly killing over a hundred Immortal Venerables, and this is all I get?

Are you kidding me?

"Ding, Host's current status is critical; defense mechanism activated."

"Ding, System beginning to reclaim 'Ten Thousand Methods Unified'... unknown error occurred!"

"Ding, System activating forced sealing function; sealing 'Ten Thousand Methods Unified'."

Soon, the System's automatic recovery function began to take effect.

New flesh gradually grew at Xu Que's severed leg, weaving together continuously; in less than a moment, it had restored its original form.

Simultaneously, as the System slowly sealed away the 'Ten Thousand Methods Unified', the turbulent energy within Xu Que's body began to weaken.

"Whoosh!"

Two figures swept across the sky in great haste, landing upon this battlefield that had been ravaged beyond recognition.

"Yo, Teacher Er Gou, why have you come back again?"

The man and the dog had returned without having truly left.

"This Divine Venerable has thought it through and decided to live and die alongside Xu Que; alas, I arrived one step too late, and this Divine Venerable ultimately failed to fulfill that wish."

"So much nonsense; that kid's situation seems to be improving, at least he hasn't died."

Duan Jiude sensed that faint wisp of qi emanating from the center of the Battlefield; it came from Xu Que.

"His qi seems to be returning to normal too!" Er Gouzi twitched his nose, saying in surprise.

Xu Que's qi was no longer so unfamiliar; it was beginning to revert to that of the person they once knew.

However, this qi was extremely faint; had they not been standing so close, they would likely have struggled to detect it at all.

"I feel it; that 'him' has returned!" Duan Jiude nodded.

"But his condition doesn't seem quite right; his injuries and qi are recovering, so why is he still lying there motionless?"

"Could he be playing dead again?" The man and the dog exchanged glances once more.

Subsequently, the smiles on Duan Jiude's and Er Gouzi's faces gradually turned perverted.

Er Gouzi: "Understood!"

Duan Jiude: "Understood in a second!"

Playing dead to trick those Cultivators with ulterior motives was an old trick.

"Ah... Brother Que, ah, you died so tragically!"

Er Gouzi instantly began howling, his cry tearing at the heart and lungs, brimming with profound sorrow.

"Ah, my old heart hurts so much!" Duan Jiude also tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle to gaze at the sky, crystal-clear teardrops sliding from the corners of his eyes.

The Cultivators nearby had gradually gathered, all startled by the wailing of Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude.

Immediately afterward, everyone felt a wave of shock in their hearts.

"Xu Que is dead?"

The moment this thought arose in everyone's minds, it was instantly rejected.

Dead my ass!

This scene clearly exuded a very familiar vibe; it was the original formula, the original taste.

This guy is trying to play dead to scam us again!

"Brother Que, ah, Brother Que, wake up quickly, you can't die!"

At this moment, Er Gouzi had already plopped his butt right onto Xu Que, his Titanium Alloy Dog Eyes spraying tears as he frantically shook Xu Que's body.

Seizing the opportunity, Duan Jiude also leaned down close to Xu Que's ear and whispered, "Xu Que, since Er Gouzi and I are working so hard, whatever we get later must be split equally."

"Bullshit!"

Upon hearing this, Er Gouzi stopped crying at once, immediately crowded forward, and cursed in a low voice: "This Divine Venerable worked so hard; I deserve at least eighty percent, with the remaining twenty percent split between you and Xu Que."

"Bullshit to your eighteen generations of ancestors' seven-colored pineapples! With your acting skills? You think you're worthy?"

"Holy crap, holy crap! Has this Divine Venerable become unable to lift his blade, or have you gotten arrogant? Duan Jiude, come over here; this Divine Venerable will spar with you!"

The man and the dog began cursing at each other in hushed tones.

Not far away, many Cultivators still dared not approach, fearing they would be scammed yet again.

Many people had already furrowed their brows tightly, sensing something was amiss.

That dog actually dares to sit on top of Xu Que?

It doesn't look like acting.

Could it be that Xu Que is truly dead?

Everyone began to harbor doubts; however, even with such thoughts, no one still dared to actually approach and investigate!

They were simply too terrified of being scammed by the "Virtue-Lacking Dog."

The major Factions had dominated Tianzhou for many years; wherever they went, didn't they rule supreme?

But ever since the "Virtue-Lacking Dog" arrived in Tianzhou, nothing good had ever happened; every Faction had suffered countless huge losses at their hands.

The deepest path we've ever walked in this life is the trap set by the "Virtue-Lacking Dog"; it's too virtue-lacking!

Especially the many Female Disciples of the Yaochi Holy Land, whose expressions were currently strange.

They still remembered vividly the incident from back when Xu Que transformed into "Xu Que's father" to trick them into sleeping together to cure illnesses at the Yaochi Holy Land.

That dog of a man, shameless!

But fortunately, he is Handsome; we don't know whether he profited or not, but our Yaochi definitely didn't lose out.
