Chapter 673

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The metal suitcase instantly landed on the ground. Accompanied by the sound of machinery, metal plates extended out, assembling from under Xu Que's feet upward. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped him into an Iron Man!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

At the same time, the large group of puppets ahead had accelerated their heavy footsteps, rushing over rapidly!

Xu Que immediately raised his steel arm, the white light in his palm flaring intensely!

With a "whoosh," he suddenly blasted out a huge beam of light!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, a group of puppets exploded in the white beam, shattering into pieces and scattering on the ground!

"Whoosh!"

Xu Que raised both arms simultaneously, continuing to blast out white beams!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Another group of puppets was blown apart, scattering into fragments and landing on the ground!

Several cultivators were instantly stunned, looking at Xu Que, who had transformed into an Iron Man, feeling incomparably horrified. What... what kind of ghost thing is this? Its destructive power is actually this astonishing?

At the same time, Zixia Fairy beside them was also stunned, her face filled with disbelief!

Rumble—!

Suddenly, a loud noise came, the passage shook violently, and behind the puppet group, several surviving puppets comparable to the Infant Transformation Stage, their bodies glowing with golden light, suddenly accelerated, erupting with massive power and charging directly toward Xu Que!

"Not good!" Zixia Fairy's expression changed slightly, and she was about to strike to pull Xu Que back.

It was said that it was too late, but it wasn't faster than Xu Que!

Only a swoosh was heard as the chest of Xu Que's Iron Man suit instantly lit up with intense radiance, suddenly shooting out a red beam as thick as an arm, carrying harsh heat, and striking out instantly!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several puppets comparable to the Infant Transformation Stage were destroyed by the high temperature on the spot, directly crashing to the ground and scattering into piles of scrap iron!

In an instant, the passage was silent, without a sound!

Zixia Fairy was stunned!

The remaining few cultivators were bewildered, dumbfounded!

"This... how is this possible?"

"So many puppets, all shattered at once?"

"Holy crap!"

Several people felt a sense of horror in their hearts, followed by a feeling like ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping!

They recalled Xu Que's previous words—about studying mechanical arts since he was young and being skilled at finding the weaknesses of puppets!

It turned out that everything this guy said was true. Compared to his silver-red metal steel and peculiar light beams, the shells of those puppets were indeed the weakness to the extreme!

"Ding, congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 800 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding, congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 1,000 Acting Cool Points!"

Accompanied by the system prompt, Xu Que retracted the Iron Man armor and returned it to the system, feeling somewhat unsatisfied!

Although this wave of acting cool wasn't a loss—renting an Iron Man only cost 800 Acting Cool Points, yet he earned back over a thousand at once!

But it didn't meet his expectations, because among the people present, except for Zixia Fairy, the others' realms were too low. Otherwise, if he were in the Four Great Continents, acting cool in front of more experts, this wave could have earned at least ten thousand Acting Cool Points!

"Fellow Daoists, Miss A Zi, we can continue moving forward!" At this moment, Xu Que looked at everyone and smiled slightly.

Zixia Fairy had already recovered, looking at Xu Que with a strange gaze, and asked softly: "What was that steel armor of yours just now? It clearly had no spiritual energy fluctuations, yet it could unleash such peculiar energy!"

"Mm, that's something researched by our Exploding Heaven Gang's Technology Department, called the Exploding Heaven Gang Iron Man!" Xu Que said very proudly.

But after these words were spoken, not only the few cultivators, but even Zixia Fairy's expression suddenly stiffened!

"Exploding Heaven Gang? My god! No wonder the Daoist is so powerful; it turns out you are a prodigy of the Exploding Heaven Gang!" Several cultivators exclaimed immediately!

For the Five Elements Mountain, the Exploding Heaven Gang was too famous!

But almost at the same time, Zixia Fairy's expression turned icy, her gaze staring coldly at Xu Que, and she asked in a deep voice: "Supreme Treasure, I ask you, do you know a lecherous scoundrel named Xu Que?"

Uh...

Xu Que's heart skipped a beat!

It's over. Acted too cool, accidentally let it slip, and got exposed!

Back in the Southern Continent Secret Realm, he had called himself Xu Que of the Exploding Heaven Gang in front of Zixia Fairy, provoking her in all sorts of ways!

If Zixia Fairy had a bad impression of him, she must definitely have a bad impression of the Exploding Heaven Gang too!

No, no, must save this quickly!

Xu Que hurriedly suppressed his guilty conscience, his face revealing a trace of surprise, and he asked in astonishment: "Miss A Zi, so you know Xu Que? But... why do you call him a lecherous scoundrel? Did you have some kind of misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Zixia Fairy's face was full of ice, and she said coldly: "Supreme Treasure, I'm afraid the one with the misunderstanding is you! Xu Que is a person of corrupt character and vicious methods. How could you be in the same faction as him?"

"Ah?" Xu Que instantly put on a shocked expression, about to open his mouth to speak.

But suddenly, the few cultivators present shouted out in anger!

"Shut up! What's wrong with you, woman? Why are you insulting Xu Que?"

"Xu Que is the pride of our Water Yuan Kingdom. He once helped us recover the Water Yuan Kingdom, suppressed the rebels, and single-handedly established the Exploding Heaven Gang Wanda Plaza, benefiting the people and allowing our cultivation to improve significantly! How can you say that about him?"

"Exactly! Even if he does have some methods that are a bit despicable, that's only because others provoked him first."

"That's right, Xu Que is a good person at heart, much better than countless hypocrites. You absolutely cannot insult him like this!"

Several cultivators were very excited, glaring at Zixia Fairy with righteous indignation, vindicating Xu Que!

Xu Que stood to the side, dumbfounded.

Zixia Fairy was also stunned, clearly not expecting these people to describe Xu Que so well, even standing up for him and speaking good words!

This... this isn't right!

That lecherous scoundrel, back in the secret realm, first provoked her, then destroyed more than half of the medicine garden, and finally, when she was condensing her soul, he touched her body. A despicable and shameless villain like him—killing him would be ridding the world of a scourge. How could anyone think he's a good person?

"Hmph, you've all been deceived by him!" Zixia Fairy immediately snorted coldly.

Whenever Xu Que was mentioned, she really got angry!

"Impossible, everything Xu Que did for the Water Yuan Kingdom, we have all witnessed with our own eyes!" Several cultivators immediately retorted angrily!

Xu Que couldn't help but blush. To praise me like this in front of this King of Acting Cool... how embarrassing!

"Supreme Treasure!" Suddenly, Zixia Fairy's cold eyes looked at Xu Que.

Xu Que was startled and hurriedly shouted: "Here!"

"I ask you, do you believe me or do you believe Xu Que?" Zixia Fairy's momentum was aggressive; she had a rare, stubborn temper like a little girl, wanting to prove she was right!

Xu Que was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling that the Zixia Fairy in front of him inexplicably had a similarity in temperament to the Zixia Fairy in *A Chinese Odyssey*!

"Miss A Zi, you... how does this make me answer! Actually, I believe both, and Xu Que is truly a decent person. Maybe there really is some misunderstanding between you?" Xu Que said with a face full of difficulty.

Although he knew that if he said he believed her directly at this moment, he might win a bit of favor!

But with his personality, for the sake of flirting, letting himself curse himself—that absolutely didn't exist!

"No misunderstanding!" Zixia Fairy's face turned cold, and she immediately stepped away. She was angry!

Previously, even when others mocked her appearance, she hadn't shown the slightest anger, but at this moment, because of Xu Que's words, she was suddenly angry.

And the remaining cultivators also stood in place, displeased, feeling that Zixia Fairy was being unreasonable, humiliating the hero Xu Que in their hearts who had once achieved great feats!

Xu Que stood in place, somewhat stunned, and also somewhat unable to laugh or cry!

What kind of situation is this!

"Supreme Treasure, are you coming or not?" At this moment, Zixia Fairy, who had already walked ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at Xu Que with a trace of a little temper.

Yo!

Xu Que's eyes lit up instantly. It turns out this woman has such a cute side!

Look at that little mood, look at that slightly wrinkled little nose, tsk tsk tsk!

If it weren't for her disguise as this ugly face, she might really look more and more like the real Zixia Fairy!

But this is also good; at least she doesn't look as cold as before, like someone who doesn't eat the food of the mortal world!

"Coming, coming!" Xu Que rejoiced inwardly, replying while running forward quickly.
