Rumble!

With all the explosions, the entire tower was destroyed. Only the top level remained, wrapped in a glow, and it was floating in the air. The rest of the tower had disappeared completely. Even the ashes were lost in the wind.

“How...could this be?” Dong Yue came to himself and asked in a trembling voice. He remembered that Xu Que had threatened to kill him, and he felt his blood was almost frozen. If this kind of attack landed on his body, his life would really be ended!

Elder Yu and the rest of the two managers of the Dong Family were so shocked that they didn’t know what to say. This attack was far more powerful than they had expected. Before, they had thought that Xu Que could barely survive in the tower. Even if he could survive, he would be severely wounded if the one in the tower was merciful. However, they never expected that this guy could destroy the entire tower in such a short time!

Those destructive restrictive spells turned out to be ridiculous!

He is unbelievably powerful!

“Ant, are you still going to hide there like a cowardly turtle? Buttface, close the door and bite him!” Xu Que was still clamoring under the tower blatantly at this time.

Buttface opened his eyes wide. “Damn! The tower is gone, how could I find a door? But...why can’t I sense his aura?”

“His aura is shielded by the restrictive spells!” Xu Que said with a smile, as he looked up with great interest.

The King of Tough-Acting Fist that he used just now had destroyed all spell Arrays easily. No spell Array could stop his overbearing Taoist Connotation. However, his target was in a place which was protected by a big spell Array at the level of the Ancient Scary Arrays. It stopped the remaining energy of the King of Tough-Acting Fist and shielded his target’s aura and cultivation achievements. It was impossible to check that area with Soul Strength.

“Wow, are people really so cunning now? I didn’t expect that this guy could use this trick! Little brat, just be careful! This guy must be an old bitch!” Buttface exclaimed in surprise.

“Now you are talking! Just go away. You could take a dump if you have nothing to do!” Xu Que couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Buttface learned a lot of mean words on the Earth. Now he could use those words proficiently. I’m afraid he will make more trouble in the future.

Boom!

Just at this time, the top level of the tower that was still floating in the sky vibrated a bit, and a formless blast occurred around it. The next moment, a magnificent pressure covered the entire area.

“Interesting that a cultivator at the summit of the Form Synthesis Stage could have so powerful a Taoist Connotation! You could be one of the elite apprentices of our sect!” A steady and majestic voice rang out from the top level of the tower.

“What?” Xu Que was surprised immediately!

It was the voice of a woman, and was quite weather-beaten. Apparently, she was an old woman. But her aura and cultivation stage were still covered by the spell Array. It was impossible to check her strength according to her pressure. However, from the “Form Synthesis Stage” she mentioned, Xu Que could basically confirm that she must be a cultivator and was not a local in this Taijin Continent.

“Heh, heh, old bitch, if you are not a coward, just come down and confront me! Stop bragging in your lair. In the Exploding Heavens Faction, a weakling like me could only do chores! I didn’t expect I would be an elite apprentice in your sect! Is your sect too weak or is our Exploding Heavens Faction too strong?” Xu Que sneered and tried to lure the woman out by annoying her, so that he could decide whether he would fight her according to her cultivation stage. After all, her pressure was as powerful as that of Lord Zeng or the Emperor of the Xuanzhen Continent.

“Humph! What an arrogant guy! Do you really think I can’t kill you?” An angry shout came from the tower in the sky instantly. However, her bark was worse than her bite. It seemed the woman didn’t want to attack him at all.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows delightedly. Are you going to act tough in front of the Act-Tough Saint?

Do you think I am still a three-year-old boy?

“Hah, hah, hah!”

Xu Que laughed and said coldly, “The Exploding Heavens Faction always likes to attack those who think highly of themselves. If you want to kill me, just do it! Although I am just at the Form Synthesis Stage, hundreds of members of the Exploding Heavens Faction are gathering outside this city. Even our Sect Leader Xu Que is here! You could only beg for mercy even if you have reached the Celestial Realm!”

“...”

Hearing his words, the woman in the tower became speechless.

At the same time, the people outside the tower were also shocked. After hearing the conversation between Xu Que and the powerhouse in the tower, they had acquired some facts now.

Although Xu Que was still talking tough, the people of the Dong Family were sure that Xu Que couldn’t rival the powerhouse in the tower because they had witnessed the powerhouse’s horrible strength and skills. Otherwise, they would never have treated her in such a respectful way.

“Elder Yu, should we do something?” The No. 1 manager of the Dong Family asked in a low voice as he looked at Elder Yu.

After a short while’s pondering, Elder Yu shook her head slightly, “That won’t be necessary. Since the one hasn’t asked us to help her, we’d better stay out of this!”

The No.2 manager of the Dong Family frowned immediately, “But....”

Before he finished his words, Elder Yu interrupted him, “No buts! I know the one in the tower has been severely wounded. However, after such a long secluded cultivation, she will recover soon. I guess she is trying to stall for time. When she is fully recovered, that little rascal will be punished severely!”

“Alas!” Hearing that, Miss Dong sighed sympathetically as she looked at Xu Que below the tower.

...

At this time, Xu Que was still quite calm below the tower. Increasingly, Xu Que got the feeling that the woman was acting tough. Maybe she was trying to scare him away with that pressure.

However, after several breaths, the woman said slowly, “Young man, you are so good at bragging! If I didn’t want you to help me, you would already be a dead man!”

“Humph!” Xu Que snorted calmly and replied, “Stop your nonsense!”

“Heh, heh, it seems you won’t cry until you see the coffin! Are you going to be obedient when I show up?” A sarcastic laugh came from the tower in the sky.

Xu Que continued to reply calmly, “Just stop your nonsense!”

“Great, interesting! This is the first time for me to see a shameless cultivator like you!” The woman replied thoughtfully.

Her words made Xu Que suspicious. Is the old woman in the tower really a powerhouse at the Celestial Realm? Otherwise, how could she be so confident?

“Young man!” The woman said calmly again at this time, “Let me tell you the truth. I was severely wounded and I can’t leave this spell Array temporarily! You’d better go to the Refined Moon Palace and help me to get the jade box. At that time, I will realize a breakthrough and I will award you substantially. If you refuse me, when I am fully recovered, I will kill you wherever you hide yourself.”

“Are you severely wounded?” Hearing that, Xu Que’s eyes lit up.

“Right! I was wounded, but you’d better stop your unrealistic illusions! This spell Array is my masterpiece. You can never break it!” The woman replied calmly.

“Heh-heh, where do you find your confidence? How dare you say I can’t break your spell Array?” Xu Que squinted his eyes and smiled sarcastically.

The woman was still quite calm and confident. She said calmly, “This spell Array includes over 100 restrictive spells and other spells, which are both defensive and offensive. According to the power of your attack just now, I’m afraid you would need at least ten days to break this Array And I will be fully recovered in five or six days!” The woman spoke in a proud and sarcastic tone. She even warned Xu Que that he would be severely punished after five or six days if he refused to be cooperative.

Such a blatant threat definitely annoyed Xu Que.

“Old woman, you are the first one who dares to speak to me in this way for so many years! But....” Xu Que paused a bit. Then he said with a faint smile, “I just want to ask you again why are you so confident that I can’t break your Array?”

After saying that, he raised his arm and clenched his fist. The golden light became more dazzling. A cloud of Taoist Connotation which was dozens of times stronger than the one he had used just now appeared.

“What?” An exclamation came from the tower in the sky.

Xu Que said with a chilly smile, “Let me tell you a small secret. For the attack just now, I only used 10 percent of my strength! Now, you should come down and eat dung! Buttface, is your poop ready?”

“I am still working on it. Don’t rush me!”
