Chapter 1554: Fellow Daoist Xu, I

"Xu Que, stay and join forces!"

Zhou Mingsi shouted loudly.

A majestic aura swept through his entire body, and with a wave of his large hand, a formless, vast force surged out of thin air, instantly pushing an Asura horde member at the Immortal Venerable stage in front of him, sending it flying violently toward Xu Que.

In his view, these Asura horde members were only acting out of instinctive fear, wary of that fake Dharma image!

But the Asura horde members possessed autonomous consciousness; as long as he pushed them toward Xu Que, once they observed the illusory nature of the Dharma image at close range, they would certainly no longer fear Xu Que and might even attack him.

"Gaa!"

However, as that Immortal Venerable-stage Asura horde member flew toward Xu Que, it roared in frantic terror.

Until it landed in front of Xu Que, it didn't dare to stay for even half a second, immediately turning its head and fleeing like a madman, and it didn't forget to run toward Zhou Mingsi, filled with monstrous resentment and rage.

"No... impossible!" Zhou Mingsi's expression changed instantly.

How could that Dharma image possibly have such might?

It actually made an Immortal Venerable-stage Asura horde member not even dare to test its authenticity and flee directly.

The key was that the Asura horde member was now charging toward him; it was trying to kill him to vent its anger!

"You're courting death!"

The more Zhou Mingsi thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He had used the Righteousness Sealing Demon Sutra, intending to borrow a knife to kill someone, but he hadn't expected to end up lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

However, possessing such a powerful secret technique, he wasn't truly afraid of that Immortal Venerable-stage Asura horde member!

Swish!

A streak of light streaked across the sky.

Zhou Mingsi pointed a finger at the sky, catching the streak of light that had swept down from the firmament, his aura majestic, staring at the incoming Asura horde member.

"Watch as I strike from the west, with one sword I shall slash you, this..."

Bang!

Before Zhou Mingsi could finish his sentence, a muffled sound suddenly rang out, and his entire body exploded into a mist of blood, his aura vanishing in an instant.

Blood mist filled the sky! Not even a hair was left...

"What?"

Everyone in the arena was instantly startled, their faces full of astonishment.

"What is the situation?"

"What exactly happened? How did that Immortal Venerable... how did he just explode?"

"Could it be that borrowing a knife to kill someone also counts as taking action, triggering the attention of the Will of Heaven and Earth?"

"It shouldn't be. This method of death is too bizarre; it doesn't look like the handiwork of the Will of Heaven and Earth."

"That's right. You all should have noticed in the second stage earlier; if the Will of Heaven and Earth took action, it would inevitably be accompanied by the tolling of a funeral bell."

As the crowd discussed this, they seemed to think of something.

Swish—all eyes turned in unison toward Xu Que.

Could it be that this person had some secret technique that could bypass the Will of Heaven and Earth and silently kill an Immortal Venerable powerhouse?

At the same time, the remaining few Immortal Venerables of the Heavenly Gate were also stunned.

Zhou Mingsi was, after all, an Immortal Venerable-stage powerhouse; how could he just explode like that? He wasn't a Deidara!

"Big Brother!"

Zhou Meizuo and Zhou Ximen's eyes were filled with hot tears!

Ever since their four brothers had crossed paths with this Exploding Heaven Gang, nothing good had happened.

First the fourth brother was gone, and now the big brother had exploded too. Who knew what would happen next?

"I want to kill Xu Que! I want to tear him into ten thousand pieces!" Zhou Meizuo clenched his fists, his killing intent monstrous!

The other two Immortal Venerables of the Heavenly Gate frowned immediately and whispered a reminder: "Brother Zhou, calm down. You cannot take action here!"

"I know!"

Zhou Meizuo suppressed his rage, gritting his teeth and saying, "Once we leave the Buddha Realm, I will definitely tear him into pieces to pay tribute to my big brother's spirit in heaven."

"This guy, how exactly did he do it?" Beside him, Zhou Ximen's expression was grave as he muttered in a low voice.

He couldn't figure out why, in a place controlled by the Will of Heaven and Earth, his big brother could still be killed, and the key was that the killer wouldn't be punished.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Que, look at their stupid expressions; they still haven't guessed the truth." Er Gouzi raised his eyebrows, pursing his lips, and transmitted his voice to Xu Que with a smug look.

"Awesome. This is already the fourth one. They still haven't discovered that the Righteousness Sealing Demon Sutra is wrong?"

Duan Jiude was filled with emotion. The villains' IQs were not online; was this the cruelty of heaven and earth, or the distortion of human nature?

"Sigh, this is all retribution! That's why I always say, one must do more good deeds and accumulate some Yin virtue. Look at these people from the Heavenly Gate; they don't do a single human thing, so isn't this just retribution?"

At this moment, Xu Que said cheekily.

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched fiercely.

Retribution?

Damn, is this guy really this shameless?

If there really were retribution, based on what this guy did in the first two stages, wouldn't he have been blown to death hundreds of times already?

However, no one really dared to say these words out loud.

Everyone just watched Xu Que silently, their eyes deep.

"Sigh, looking at the longing eyes of all living beings, even I, an old man, can't bear it." Duan Jiude shook his head and sighed.

"Yeah, Brother Que, why don't you save them?" Er Gouzi followed up.

Xu Que was stunned. What did these two guys mean?

Did they lose their minds?

Why save people at a time like this...

"Eh, wait, do you two know how to break the stage?" Xu Que suddenly reacted and immediately transmitted his voice to ask Duan Jiude and Er Gouzi.

Neither Duan Jiude nor Er Gouzi responded, but their eyes revealed an unusually lewd and base smile.

"Brother Que, why don't you use that treasure? Only that treasure can save everything." Er Gouzi spoke again, pleading.

Everyone present pricked up their ears upon hearing this.

Even the Heavenly Gate powerhouses on Zhou Meizuo's side couldn't help but be astonished.

A treasure?

Xu Que had a treasure that could save all of this?

Hope ignited in everyone's hearts.

"Shut up, Er Gouzi, what nonsense are you spouting? What treasure could Brother Que possibly have?" Suddenly, Duan Jiude's expression changed, and he reprimanded him sternly.

"..." Xu Que's expression also sank, and he stared coldly at Er Gou, his face practically written with the words "unhappy."

"This Divine Venerable is not spouting nonsense!"

Er Gouzi shouted loudly, turning his head to look at Xu Que, his eyes splitting with rage: "Brother Que, do you think we can survive without using that treasure? Even if we could luckily escape, there are so many people here; how could you bear to watch them die here in vain?"

"Amitabha, Benefactor Er Gou is truly kind!" Little Light Bulb pressed his palms together, full of respect and warmth, and bowed to Er Gouzi.

"Shut up, what do you know?" Duan Jiude suddenly shouted, rushing out directly to block in front of Xu Que, looking straight at Er Gouzi: "You heartless and ungrateful thing, how has Brother Que treated you usually? How can you say such things?"

"So what if this Divine Venerable says such things? With great power comes great responsibility." Er Gouzi said sonorously.

Everyone present was instantly moved.

Damn, this dog is so good!

And he's standing on our side, standing up to speak in order to save us; what a good dog!

From now on, we will never eat dog meat again!

"Fart, do you think Brother Que doesn't want to save everyone? But do you know how high a price Brother Que has to pay if he uses that treasure?" Duan Jiude shouted angrily.

"Duan Jiude, you short-sighted person, could the lives of so many of us here be worth less than those few Spirit Stones, those few Immortal Artifacts, those few precious medicines?" Er Gouzi sneered with disdain.

"A few? Heh, to save so many people, I'm afraid..." Duan Jiude also sneered.

"Enough!"

Suddenly, Xu Que shouted in a deep voice, interrupting the conversation between Er Gou and Duan Jiude.

He stepped out, his gaze deep, and after taking a deep breath, he exhaled slowly, his gaze sweeping across everyone present.

"King Wei Wu is right; I do indeed have a treasure that can save everyone here, but this treasure is extremely difficult to activate, and every time it is opened, a huge price must be paid..."

Having said this, Xu Que paused slightly.

Everyone present felt their hearts sink. Damn it, we knew it would be like this; he's going to swindle our Spirit Stones and treasures again.

However, Xu Que continued: "In the previous stages, I asked you all for quite a few Spirit Stones and treasures; in fact, it was also in preparation for activating this treasure, but I didn't expect to use it so soon."

"Although I don't know if it's enough, please rest assured, from this moment on, my Exploding Heaven Gang will never collect another cent from you."

"Even if the price for activating the treasure is huge, my Exploding Heaven Gang will definitely bring you all safely out of this stage."

Xu Que's words instantly resounded throughout the area.

The entire arena instantly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone widened their eyes, their hearts shaken, unable to believe it.

Could it be... we all misunderstood him?

It turns out that everything he did before wasn't for his own selfish interests, but because he was worried about a dangerous situation like the third stage, so he collected so many Spirit Stones and treasures, all in preparation for activating that mysterious treasure!

"Swish!"

Instantly, everyone present faced Xu Que, bowed in unison, and shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoist Xu, we are sorry!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu is righteous; we misunderstood you."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, we are willing to take out..."

Just as someone said this, Xu Que shouted immediately: "Shut up! I said, my Exploding Heaven Gang will never collect another cent from you. If you all respect me, then give me some face and don't mention taking things out again; I will not accept them."
