“What?”
Everyone was dumbfounded at Xu Que’s idea to cook the two Sea Tribe members.
What the h*ll?
Shouldn’t you be thinking about how to kill the enemy instead of how to eat them?
Sh*t! We didn’t expect you to be thinking about cooking them when you were frowning like that.
You plan to steam one in clear soup and grill the other with charcoal? …How about braising the other in soy sauce instead?
Everyone shook their heads. This monkey was so unreliable, just like Xu Que was.
The two members of the Sea Tribe were stunned. When they got a hold of themselves, they were completely annoyed.
In their eyes, all cultivators of the Five Nations were weaklings. They even looked down upon powerhouses at level six or seven of the Infant Transformation Stage.
The Spiritual Qi in this area was very deficient compared to where they were from. The magic arts that the cultivators in this area were capable of weren’t very impressive either. Therefore, they figured that even the powerhouses here whose cultivation level was higher than them wouldn’t stand a chance against them in real combat.
So, to them, Xu Que was just like an ant under their fingers. They could kill him with as much effort as it would take to blow away a speck of dust. However, they didn’t expect Xu Que to belittle them by treating them as if they were just food to be cooked.
“You naive little twit! I will skin you alive and eat your monkey brain!”
They started to twist their bodies and ascend into the sky. They then summoned a dark cloud that was saturated with majestic icy rain. The crystal raindrops shot at Xu Que like tens of thousands of sharp arrows.
These icy raindrops were more powerful than the raindrops that they had summoned before. Runes were even flowing through each icy raindrop, making the raindrops a powerful Taoist Connotation.
Xu Que was walking in the sky with Walk of Yu. His Thunder Illusion Body started to prepare Buddha’s Fiery Lotus while his real body performed Six Corporeal Forms to resist the falling icy raindrops.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Numerous icy raindrops. .h.i.t the Dark Heavy Buster Sword and created many thunderous bangs.
“Do you want to eat my monkey brain? Come and get it! Otherwise, you are just mangy dogs!” Xu Que taunted. However, he was also shocked at their power.
Since Xu Que was a powerhouse with an extremely strong physique, he had been able to block all the icy raindrops. However, his hands were slightly numb afterward.
No more delay, I need to kill them now!
These two people were extremely powerful. If they were to receive reinforcements of another three or four guys like them, there was a good chance that he wouldn’t be able to protect Su Ling’er and her people from them.
Xu Que divided his Soul Strength in two. A three-colored fiery lotus appeared in the hand of his Thunder Illusion Body. The Thunder Illusion Body, which could fight autonomously, waved its hand and threw out the three-colored fiery lotus.
Boom!
The three-colored fiery lotus penetrated through the sky, the petals scorching the air. The display was extremely pretty and coquettis.h.!.+ The three-colored fiery lotus was now directly in front of the two mantis shrimps.
Meanwhile, Xu Que extracted a ball lightning. The ball of lightning was rotating in his hand rapidly, creating sharp, piercing sound. He then threw the ball of lightning toward the two mantis shrimps.
Seeing two attacks coming towards them composed of fire and lightning respectively, the two mantis shrimps were totally shocked.
“How…could this be possible? How is someone who is native to this area able to use such formidable magic arts?”
“This is… No, retreat!”
The two members of the Sea Tribe twisted their bodies and tried to get away from the attacks. However, the three-colored fiery lotus was not something they could evade.
Rumble!
A deafening explosion occurred. Towering three-colored Mystical Fire covered the two mantis shrimps. Their bodies were being scorched by the flames. Thick white smoke was shooting skyward.
The whole area was filled with the delicious aroma of cooked meat!
“My gos.h.!.+ What is this smell?”
“Is it the smell of roasted seafood?”
“Lord Li Bai is really extraordinary!”
Excited by the aroma of meat, b.u.t.tface jumped out of the crowd.
“Awesome!” b.u.t.tface said.
However, the mantis shrimps were not dead yet.
Argh!
They roared in pain, for they were seriously injured. Every inch of them was covered in blood, but they were still capable of combat.
“You are seeking death!” the two mantis shrimps growled.
The whole area was filled with their homicidal intent. They were about to perform some horrible magic arts, but just then, Xu Que’s ball of lightning reached them. The violet and golden lightning bolts, which were as powerful as the Mystical Fire, had the Taoist Connotation of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Rumble!
The ball of lightning exploded and turned into an entire pool of lightning bolts.
“Ah!”
The two mantis shrimps were completely engulfed in the lightning attack. Countless ferocious lightning bolts crackled and slashed at their bodies. The two mantis shrimps screamed hysterically, flailing their bodies as if they were drowning.
Ssssss!
Plumes of white smoke rose from the two mantis shrimps. The aroma of roasted seafood became more and more dense.
“My G.o.d! It looks like they are about to be well-done!”
“After several rounds of battling, these formidable Sea Tribe powerhouses have finally been defeated!”
“The sovereigns of the Exploding Heavens Faction are really powerful. Lord Li Bai is amazing, but the strength of that monkey is also quite formidable!”
“That’s why they are members of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
“Little brat, stop your attack!” b.u.t.tface shouted. “They are ready to be served. If you continue your attack, they will be burnt!”
Grrrr!
Hardly had b.u.t.tface finished his words when the two mantis shrimps roared in anger. The area was permeated with their formidable pressures again.
“Holy sh*t! They are still not cooked properly! Roast them a little longer!” b.u.t.tface said.
However, b.u.t.tface was frightened and didn’t stick around. He ran away to a safe distance.
Xu Que frowned. He didn’t expect these two mantis shrimps to still be alive after being attacked by both his three-colored lotus and his ball of lightning.
It was a shame that he didn’t have the People Killing Sword and the People Killing Book of All Layers with him. If he had been able to attack with 30 times his original power and use the People Killing Book, these two mantis shrimps would have been incinerated during his first attack!
Whoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, one mantis shrimp managed to dash out of the thunder pool. However, half of his body had been cut off by the lightning bolts. The miserable thing was not bleeding anymore, for its flesh had already been cauterized by the lightning.
“I will die together with you!” the maimed mantis shrimp growled ferociously. He knew that his death was inevitable.
What is this mantis shrimp talking about?
How can he pose threats in such a miserable condition?
Despite other people’s confusion, b.u.t.tface’s expression changed to one of pure terror.
“Run! He is going to explode!”
“Self-explosion?” Xu Que said, surprised.
Xu Que landed and stood in front of Su Ling’er and her people. He then performed Six Corporeal Forms with the Dark Heavy Buster Sword to defend the Mysterious Clan with countless sword shadows.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Thunder Illusion Body jumped into the sky. With a Dark Heavy Buster Sword in hand, the Thunder Illusion Body also performed Six Corporeal Forms to cover the maimed mantis shrimp with numerous sword shadows.
Rumble!
The mantis shrimp exploded. The thunderous explosion shook the entire Imperial City. It was as if everything was falling apart. The formidable power of the explosion spread in all directions like an atomic bomb.
After blocking most of the explosion’s power, the sword shadows that the Thunder Illusion Body had created vanished instantly. Even the Thunder Illusion Body itself disappeared in the sky after being impacted by the explosion.
The whole area fell silent. This was the first time that anyone had witnessed the magic art of self-explosion. People couldn’t believe what they had just seen. They could do nothing but watch as Li Bai was shattered as a result of his physique colliding with the immense power of the explosion.
Is Lord Li Bai… dead?
Suddenly, a miserable cry came from a distant street.
“No!”
Xu Que turned around. He was stunned.
Madam Ya was here! And she had just witnessed the death of “Li Bai!” She was devastated!
