Chapter 286: The Imperial Tomb Digging Team Is About to Depart!

Xu Que chuckled with a grin, ready to test just how strong this husky's flesh body really was!

"Whoosh!"

However, before he could make a move, the patrolling Guard Army nearby heard the commotion and suddenly surged over like a tide.

"Who goes there? How dare you sneak into the Imperial Tomb at night!"

The leader of the Guard Army shouted in a deep voice, leading his subordinates to surround Xu Que and Er Gouzi.

These Guard Army soldiers had always maintained extremely strict security around the Imperial Tomb, so upon detecting even the slightest disturbance, they immediately charged over to kill.

That aura of strictness was incredibly terrifying.

Especially since these Guard Army soldiers were all cultivators from the Golden Yuan Kingdom, practicing Techniques that were metal-attribute Dharma Spells, naturally carrying a powerful sharpness; when the sharpness of an entire army stacked together, it felt as if a sharp steel knife was stabbing directly at them.

This is the power of an army!

Through certain Arrays and Dharma Spells!

It allows the strength and momentum of hundreds or thousands of soldiers cultivating the same Technique to twist into a single force; such momentum means that even if each individual's strength might only be at the Golden Core Stage, once twisted together, it is sufficient to annihilate those Old Monsters at the Infant Transformation Stage.

Facing such momentum!

Even Xu Que couldn't help but tighten his expression slightly, lost in thought, seemingly entertaining the idea of forming a team of his own in the future to go out and Act Cool!

Er Gouzi, however, was startled by this momentum; he immediately raised his paw and said, "This Divine Venerable was passing through this place, saw this kid acting suspiciously, and was just about to suppress him and hand him over to you, but I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly; nevertheless, you show promise!"

Xu Que had long grown accustomed to Er Gouzi's shamelessness and betraying friends for glory; after glaring fiercely at him, he looked solemnly at the group of guards, shook his head, and said, "I am the Fire Yuan Kingdom's prince consort... tsk, no, that's wrong, I am an Elite Disciple of the Langjian Sect, passing through your honorable land; seeing the majestic momentum of the Imperial Tomb, I wished to enter and take a look, is that really not allowed?"

Remembering that the Fire Yuan Kingdom and the Golden Yuan Kingdom were hostile, Xu Que immediately changed his story to claim he was a disciple of the Langjian Sect, and smoothly pulled out an Elite Disciple token belonging to the Langjian Sect from Ye Zhangfeng's Storage Ring!

Upon seeing this, the fierce expression on the Guard Army leader's face immediately vanished, replaced by a forced smile as he cupped his fists and said, "So you are an honored guest from the Langjian Sect, my apologies, my apologies! However, Your Excellency has arrived a bit too early; the Imperial Tomb Trial will not begin until two days from now, and before then, no one is permitted to approach the Imperial Tomb, so please, Your Excellency, be understanding!"

Imperial Tomb Trial?

Xu Que's eyes widened slightly.

Damn it, this Golden Yuan Kingdom is truly freaking open-minded, actually using the Imperial Tomb as a Trial Grounds and allowing disciples from other sects to enter?

Xu Que hadn't expected that an excuse he casually made up would actually coax such a secret out of this Guard Army leader's mouth.

There's a Trial?

How could it lack me, King of Acting Cool Xu Que?

Since ancient times, where there are people, there is a Jianghu; where there is a Jianghu, there are Trials; and where there are Trials, there will surely be many geniuses!

With such a Holy Land for Acting Cool, there absolutely must be a King of Acting Cool appearing!

Otherwise, how can one control the scene? How can one revitalize the great cause of my Realm of Pretenders?

This trip must happen!

However... speaking of which, the status of the Langjian Sect in the Golden Yuan Kingdom seems quite high; even a Guard Army leader must be so respectful to their sect's Elite Disciples!

It seems I can really have some fun this time!

The corner of Xu Que's mouth lifted slightly in a smile, and he also cupped his fists slightly: "So it only begins two days from now; it seems I remembered incorrectly; very well, I shall take my pet and leave first, returning another day! Farewell!"

"Young hero, travel safely!" The Guard Army leader returned the Smile, respectfully seeing Xu Que off.

Seeing that the other party outnumbered them, Er Gouzi did not cause any trouble this time.

Once the man and dog had moved far away from the Imperial Tomb, Er Gouzi suddenly pounced at Xu Que, cursing angrily: "Damn it, kid, you actually dared to call this Divine Venerable a pet; this is humiliation, this hatred is irreconcilable under the same sky!"

"Oh, so you have such a fiery side? Come, come, come, this is perfect for me to test just how strong your flesh body really is!"

Xu Que was delighted; it was rare to see this husky get angry.

Moreover, he was also eager to know just how strong his own flesh body had become, and whether he could contend with Er Gouzi!

"Whoosh!"

Xu Que stepped forward, without utilizing True Essence, relying solely on the tough strength of his flesh body after cultivating the Underworld Prison Suppression Body to confront Er Gouzi.

"Damn it, you're really doing it?" Er Gouzi subconsciously turned to flee, but seeing that Xu Que was neither using a Sword nor controlling that iron armor, his face instantly filled with delight.

"Hehe, Young Lad, you are too arrogant; a newborn calf fears no tiger, displaying Unknown Shamelessness; how dare a mere Nascent Soul Stage fight against this Divine Venerable? Today, this Divine Venerable will show you what true strength is!"

Er Gouzi snorted coldly, putting on a great show of momentum; standing on his two hind legs, he swung his front legs and charged at Xu Que as well.

"Bang!"

Amidst a dull thud, the fists of the man and dog collided!

"Aow!"

Er Gouzi let out a miserable cry, directly blown flying several meters away before crashing to the ground.

Xu Que was forced back several steps; a trace of pain shot through his wrist, his tiger's mouth went numb, and unexpectedly, a tiny wound split open as if sliced by a small knife, oozing a drop of bright red blood!

This left Xu Que shocked in his heart; Er Gouzi's flesh body was indeed extraordinary, truly nearing Body Becoming Saint!

Although in the battle just now, it appeared he had gained the upper hand, deep in his heart he knew very well that relying solely on flesh body confrontation, Er Gouzi had definitely won!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the guy was blown flying and crying out in pain; that guy wasn't injured in the slightest.

On the contrary, Xu Que himself had his tiger's mouth at the wrist shaken until it cracked; although it was only a minor superficial injury, it was sufficient to prove that Er Gouzi's flesh body was incredibly terrifying!

"Aaaah, kid, what the hell kind of flesh body do you have? How can it be this strong? Ah, I can't take it anymore, this Divine Venerable has suffered heavy injuries, hurry and get some Purification Water for me to drink, otherwise this Divine Venerable is going to die!" Er Gouzi lay on the ground, pretending to be half-dead, speaking with immense pain.

Xu Que paid him no mind, summoned the system, spent a few Acting Cool Points to activate the Automatic Repair Function to heal the wound, then turned around to summon the Bumblebee Sports Car, saying solemnly: "Murong Goudan, I am going to the Imperial City to spend the night; you just lie here and nurse your wounds; I will come find you again for the Imperial Tomb Trial in two days!"

"Damn it, kid, don't run! This Divine Venerable is of Noble status, weak and sickly, how can I sleep out on the streets?" Upon hearing this, Er Gouzi immediately scrambled up from the ground and suddenly darted into Xu Que's car.

Xu Que swept a disdainful glance at him, shook his head, stepped on the accelerator, and headed toward the Imperial City of the Golden Yuan Kingdom.

Since there was an Imperial Tomb Trial in two days, there was no need to rush and waste too many Acting Cool Points to forcibly break through the Imperial Tomb Prohibition.

Of course, the most critical point was that if he entered the Imperial Tomb now, apart from a dog, there would be no one there to watch him Act Cool!

Xu Que refused to accept that!

Acting Cool must be done in front of people!

Moreover, it's the Imperial Tomb where so many Heavenly Prides have gathered; this will surely be lively and thrilling!

Damn, thinking about it carefully, he actually felt a little excited in his heart!

Xu Que's eyes flashed as he stared straight ahead and declared with high spirits:

"Murong Goudan, hurry up and shout '666'! The Imperial Tomb-digging Acting Cool Squad is about to depart; first stop—Imperial City!"
