"Presumptuous!"
Right at this point, the Fire Emperor shouted out in anger, "How dare you impersonate the Prince Consort. The real Prince Consort passed away a year ago. I witnessed it with my own eyes. If what you said was true and my beloved concubine took away your spiritual roots, how did you manage to cultivate to such a level within a year? Do you take me and everyone else here for fools? "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone regained their senses.
That's right. If his spiritual roots and cultivation level were taken away, he would be considered a cripple. How was it possible for him to cultivate to the seventh level of the Original Infant Stage within a year?
That's impossible!
"Hehe! Why is it impossible? "
Xu Que broke out into a smile and spoke out slowly, "Because my master is Duan Jiude!"
"Shua!"
Suddenly, the entire crowd turned silent.
Duan Jiude!
Just this name alone caused everyone to freeze in shock. Their eyes were wide open and their tongues were tied. Their faces were filled with shock!
Even the Fire Emperor, the Flaming Sun Princess and the rest of them had a change of expression on their faces!
In a place like the Imperial City, the name Duan Jiude was extremely resounding in the ears of many people with extraordinary statuses.
That mysterious and unfathomable cultivator had a strange and peculiar way of doing things. Even the Fire Emperor was extremely fearful of him!
When Xu Que saw that he had shouted out the name "Duan Jiu De", everyone present was stunned. He then thought to himself, "This kid is indeed wicked. As soon as he said his name, even the Fire Emperor's face changed." Duan Jiu De?
However, Xu Que wasn't the type of person who only knew how to use his name to scare people. The reason why he announced the name Duan Jiude was because he wanted to act tough. Hearing the act tough points in his head, he felt that it wasn't a bad thing to have a master like this!
After hearing Xu Que's words, everyone started to connect the dots between the major events that had happened in the Fire Nation over the past few months.
"I … I suddenly remembered something!" Someone suddenly said with a bitter expression.
"I remember it too. A few months ago, Celestial Sect was also destroyed by Duan Jiude's disciple!"
"Not only did it explode, it was said that he used his Core Bearing Stage cultivation level to annihilate a small sect and brought along countless corpses. He then went to Celestial Sect and killed an Elder. In the end, he managed to escape unscathed from the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader!"
Many people couldn't help but look at Xu Que. At the same time, cold sweat appeared on their foreheads!
So, it was the same person!
This was the guy who blew up the entire Celestial Sect. Now, he even came to the Imperial Palace to seek revenge from the Fire Emperor. Furthermore, he had the backing of Duan Jiude. Who would dare to touch him?
The people from Sky Incense Valley were shocked as well. A few disciples looked at the Elder and whispered, "Elder, could it be that the Exploding Heavens Faction has something to do with Duan Jiude?"
The Elder looked solemn and shook his head, "I don't think so. The Exploding Heavens Faction is full of geniuses. This Xu Que is just one of them. He has the backing of Duan Jiude. Maybe the other geniuses have the backing of someone important as well!"
"Then … If we fight later, should we step forward to protect this Xu Que? After all, he and Master Hua are from the same faction! "
"I'm afraid not. If Master Hua were to encounter such a situation, our faction would definitely step forward to protect him. After all, he is the person whom the Water Empress personally ordered us to look for. But this Xu Que … I don't know what to do. Furthermore, the Fire Emperor might not give us face. Let's just wait and see! "The Elder said calmly.
A few disciples nodded their heads, "It's a pity that the Water Empress will only be here in a few days. If she were here, things would be much easier!"
...
At this point, the Fire Emperor's face was ashen.
When he heard Xu Que shout out that his master was Duan Jiude, his heart was filled with fear.
However, as an Emperor, he still had his ways. His silence didn't mean that he didn't dare to make a move against Xu Que. The murderous look in his eyes was enough to prove everything.
This Emperor had already started to think about how to solve this problem before him.
In front of the throne room, the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan's faces were filled with shock. It was obvious that they had heard of the name Duan Jiude and were extremely shocked.
"I didn't expect him to have such good fortune. Perhaps he was saved by Duan Jiude and cultivated to such a terrifying level!" The Flaming Sun Princess mumbled softly.
Zi Xuan's face was filled with worry as she spoke softly, "The Fire Emperor definitely won't kill Xu Que now. But if Duan Jiude were to appear in the future, what would happen to you and the Fire Emperor?"
"No. You're wrong. My Imperial Father will definitely kill Xu Que! "The Flaming Sun Princess shook her head as she stared at the back of the Fire Emperor.
"What? He … He's the disciple of Duan Jiude! "Zi Xuan's face fell.
"Have you forgotten? As long as we stay within the palace and the Dragon Veins remain strong, even if Duan Jiude were to appear, he wouldn't be able to hurt my Imperial Father! "
"You're saying … Imperial Qi protects his body?"
"Mm!"
The Flaming Sun Princess nodded her head as she looked down at Xu Que. A complicated look flashed across her eyes as she spoke softly, "Hence, he will die today. Nobody can save him!"
...
Indeed, the Fire Emperor remained silent for a few moments before his lips curled into a smile. He then spoke out coldly, "No matter whose disciple you are, the fact that you dare to impersonate the Prince Consort and speak so rudely about me is a crime punishable by death! Men, take this thief down! "
"Yes!"
At once, dozens of Imperial Guards acknowledged the order in unison. Without hesitation, they flew over the crowd and surrounded Xu Que!
These Imperial Guards were all of the Original Infant Stage and were extremely powerful.
Dozens of them surrounded Xu Que. Nobody thought that they wouldn't be able to do it!
Only the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan didn't think so. They had witnessed Xu Que's prowess before.
How could someone who could kill dozens of Tian Sha Assassins in a single move be captured by these Imperial Guards?
"Stop!"
The Flaming Sun Princess didn't want the Imperial Guards to sacrifice their lives for nothing and shouted out.
However, she was too late!
"Whoosh!"
At the moment when the Imperial Guards attacked, Xu Que had already leapt up into the air.
"Dog Emperor! You're really wasting time! Do you think that you can capture me just by releasing a dozen dogs? Today, I shall destroy your Fire Country's Imperial Palace so that I can live up to the name of my Heavenly Explosion Faction! "
Xu Que's face was filled with an arrogant smile as a boundless amount of killing intent erupted from his body. It was like a raging tidal wave that engulfed the entire area!
Everyone's hearts trembled as they felt a terrifying aura pressing down on them, causing them to feel suffocated!
At the same time, the black mystical flame within Xu Que's body started to stir violently.
Following which, the space around him started to twist and contort!
The Eight Waste Destruction Flame was like a ferocious tiger that had just escaped from its cage as it dashed out!
"Boom!"
At that moment, a pair of gigantic black wings spread out from Xu Que's back!
