Chapter 176: Slapping One

*Pfft! *

In the silence that blanketed the entire scene!

No one had expected that the Divine Might Cannon, which the Fire Emperor had brought out with such high spirits to save face, act cool, and establish his authority, would end up in such a state.

The Divine Might Charging Cannon, which should have been awe-inspiring and, under the expectant gaze of the masses, about to unleash a strike comparable to the Infant Transformation Stage, had actually gone limp at this moment, firing only a tiny, soft wisp of light.

What was even more infuriating was that Xu Que seemed to have been waiting for a long time; he used that wisp of light to light a cigarette and praised, "Well-aimed." This instantly made people feel that something was wrong!

However, the people from the various sects breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces once again.

Divine Might Charging Cannon? A strike comparable to the second layer of the Infant Transformation Stage?

What bullshit infinite power, intimidating the five kingdoms!

Don't kid yourself; that soft little strike couldn't even kill a mortal, could it?

The expressions of the elders and disciples of the several major sects were all seen by the Fire Emperor!

He was incomparably furious!

But in his heart, he was even more bewildered!

Why did it turn out like this?

The power of this Divine Might Cannon was clearly extremely strong, invincible, and its destructive power was terrifying to the extreme; why would it misfire at a time like this?

Princess Yan Yang and the others also changed color, their gazes suddenly sweeping toward Xu Que, who was puffing away in the air!

"He must have tampered with it!"

Princess Yan Yang was very certain. In her eyes, this man who was once her nominal Prince Consort was actually this terrifying, and even the Divine Might Cannon that her father had gone to such lengths to obtain was ineffective against him?

Xu Que's performance was completely one of having nothing to fear, as if he had known it would be like this. He wasn't surprised at all and could even smoothly light a cigarette; there must be something fishy going on!

Zi Xuan had also come into contact with Xu Que, and she shared Princess Yan Yang's thoughts. This matter really might have been done by that guy in the air!

But how did he do it?

Ever since the Divine Might Cannon was transported into the palace, it had been kept in the treasure pavilion, which outsiders couldn't enter. When did he tamper with it? Could it be that he had long since discovered this weapon that the Fire Emperor had hidden away?

Princess Yan Yang and Zi Xuan were both filled with doubts!

At the same time, looking at Xu Que in mid-air with a playful smile on his face, the two women felt a complex mix of emotions, not knowing what to make of it.

"Dog Emperor, this lighter of yours isn't bad; it's quite useful. You specifically used a top-grade spirit stone to light a cigarette for me; are you trying to curry favor with me? Let me tell you, it's useless. Even if you knelt down and begged me, it would be useless."

At this moment, Xu Que, hovering in the air, said with a smug and cheeky smile while smoking.

Looking at the Fire Emperor's furious, frustrated, and baffled appearance, Xu Que felt great inside. He just loved seeing others look at him with such disdain while being unable to do anything about it.

Everyone in the audience instantly had black lines on their foreheads.

Big brother, can you not be so narcissistic?

The Fire Emperor is currying favor with you?

The Fire Emperor now wishes he could skin you alive and leave you to bake in the sun for seven days!

Unless the Fire Emperor's brain is broken, he wouldn't curry favor with you!

The people from the Fragrant Sky Valley, however, had their eyelids twitching, their faces full of suspicion.

"Why does this Young Hero Xu's style of conduct resemble that Young Hero Hua?"

"Except for the difference in strength and appearance, everything else seems about the same!"

"Could it be that everyone in the Exploding Heaven Gang is like this?"

"Damn, then this Exploding Heaven Gang is incredible. If they are all such monsters, who would dare to provoke them in the future!"

Several disciples turned pale, feeling fortunate that the Fragrant Sky Valley had never been at odds with the Exploding Heaven Gang!

Because no matter what, the Fire Emperor was definitely going to lose face today.

Even if the result was Xu Que being killed, it wouldn't change the fact that the Fire Emperor had lost face today!

First, dozens of imperial guards joined forces, only to be blasted to death by one move!

Then, four Infant Transformation Stage generals led a hundred troops to surround and kill him, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and even one of the generals was seriously wounded; to this day, he was still lying there healing!

And now, the Fire Emperor had confidently brought out a Divine Might Charging Cannon, with a domineering name and a powerful aura when activated, but what was the result? It only spat out a tiny wisp of light as thin as a hair.

At first glance, it really looked like it was specifically for lighting Xu Que's cigarette!

The Fire Emperor was naturally furious on the spot, his body trembling with rage!

For over a hundred years, he had never been this angry. The killing intent in his heart, combined with the fire essence in his body, could no longer be contained, and his eyes were almost spitting fire!

"What exactly did you do to my Divine Might Cannon?"

The Fire Emperor gritted his teeth and asked, glaring fixedly at Xu Que.

"A perfectly good Dog Emperor, how did you suddenly go blind? Can't you see what I did? I just stood here honestly, waiting for you to use the Divine Might Cannon to light my cigarette! As for the rest... eh! It seems I didn't do anything? No... I secretly farted just now! What? Do you want to come over and smell it?"

Xu Que's words made the Fire Emperor's entire face turn red with anger, while the maids and eunuchs standing next to the Fire Emperor couldn't help but be amused by Xu Que's words, yet they knew they couldn't laugh out loud. The people present were the same; wanting to laugh but not daring to, holding it in was truly uncomfortable and frustrating.

"You... My Divine Might Cannon has infinite power! It must be you who tampered with it."

For so many years, no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Fire Emperor. He was truly furious, pointing at Xu Que like a volcano about to erupt.

"So, you're blaming me? You're the idiot who insisted on bringing out the Divine Might Cannon manufactured by our Exploding Heaven Gang to mess with me. Tell me, aren't you an idiot? Just tell me, aren't you stupid?"

Xu Que said with a helpless expression. In fact, he hadn't expected that this idiot Fire Emperor would really bring out the Divine Might Cannon he had built himself. This...

Everyone in the audience was instantly shocked on the spot, their faces losing all color!

Damn, this Divine Might Cannon was manufactured by your Exploding Heaven Gang?

Damn, it seems the Fire Emperor wasn't lying, but this Divine Might Cannon met its master and couldn't unleash its power!

This is hilarious. With so many people present, and so many commoners watching outside the palace, the Fire Emperor is probably going to lose all his face today!

Princess Yan Yang and the others were also dumbfounded, their minds blank!

They naturally didn't believe in any Exploding Heaven Gang, thinking that everything was a pretense by this Xu Que.

But this Divine Might Charging Cannon was manufactured by Xu Que?

This... how is this possible? Such a terrifying dharma artifact actually came from his hands?

The Fire Emperor was also stunned, never expecting that the result would be like this.

He guessed the beginning, but he didn't guess the result. He had assumed that Xu Que had tampered with the Divine Might Cannon, but he couldn't imagine that such a powerful Divine Might Cannon actually came from Xu Que's hands?

And even more terrifying was the force behind Xu Que, the Exploding Heaven Gang. Originally, he hadn't taken it seriously, thinking it was just an obscure little gang.

But now, this Divine Might Charging Cannon, which he was proud of and even planned to study and mass-produce to strengthen the Fire Origin Kingdom's power, was actually invented and manufactured by the Exploding Heaven Gang!

And what was even more face-slapping was that he had confidently brought this cannon out today to act cool, and even mocked Xu Que for not knowing its value. This ignorance...

The majestic words he had spoken earlier seemed to have been returned to him at this moment, slapping him hard in the face, burning with pain!

"Everyone, today let us approach science... no! Let us enter the Fire Kingdom Imperial Palace, and let me properly reveal the ugly face of this Dog Emperor to you all."

Xu Que suddenly looked at the crowd and shouted loudly. ===== CHAPTER 177 =====
