“Hah…” Yi Zhong smiled as if his conspiratorial ideas had been realized.

The rest of the sovereigns and their guardians and apprentices shook their heads speechlessly. They had figured out that Yi Zhong just wanted to find an excuse to kill this old man. It was a pity that this old man was really annoyed and even seemed to want to fight Yi Zhong. What he was about to do was to seek his death!

As a candidate for the Divine Farmer Clan’s Holy Son, Yi Zhong was quite powerful. Even though he had said he would fight at the level of the Half-Celestial Stage, he could kill a frail old man easily. They believed Yi Zhong would win this fight unless a miracle occurred.

“Elder Xu, it is not up to you to make this decision! You must leave here!” Bai Cailing refused Xu Que’s wish directly. She knew this old man, who was good at a lot of secret magic arts, was still only a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage! Even though Yi Zhong would fight at the level of the Half-Celestial Stage, Elder Xu would never rival him because Elder Xu’s strength was too low—although he was good at magic arts! And most of Yi Zhong’s magic arts were offensive and very powerful. They were going to be in a competition to decide who was better at fighting and killing. Even though Elder Xu knew how to revive peach trees and dispel the morbid Qi, his magic arts would be useless in a duel!

“Enough! I am the master of my destiny! Today I will fight for my dignity! So I will take part in this fight even though I might die here!” Xu Que said as he stepped out and stood in front of Yi Zhong and waved his cane toward him. “Come here!” Xu Que shouted as he gathered Qi in his Dantian.

“Humph! Old fart, I will change my name if I can’t tear you into pieces!” Yi Zhong snorted. Then, before Bai Cailing could have time to stop him, he took out a black halberd and smashed down abruptly!

Rumble!

The black halberd, which tore the void open, smashed down toward Xu Que’s head with dazzling lightning and horrible pressure.

“Oh, no! He is using an Inferior Celestial Artifact!” A guardian of the Jade Lake who was at the Golden Celestial Stage shouted in surprise. Bai Cailing was totally annoyed. Although Yi Zhong was fighting at the level of the Half-Celestial Stage, he had chosen to fight with an Inferior Celestial Artifact, which meant he was determined to kill Xu Que!

The rest of the sovereigns in this area were not surprised because they knew Yi Zhong would definitely win this fight. Even if he didn’t use the Inferior Celestial Artifact, they still believed he would win. Now he would end this fight more quickly by using the Inferior Celestial Artifact!

Crack!

The black halberd came out of the void along with dazzling lightning and deafening thunder. The next moment, it was just above Xu Que’s head. Xu Que’s old body looked so frail under that black halberd. It seemed as if he had been totally shocked by Yi Zhong’s attack so that he was not able to dodge the attack and could only protect his head with his arm.

Boom!

Along with a deafening sound, the black halberd landed on his arm heavily. Everyone could see clearly that the black halberd had hit Xu Que’s arm!

The next moment, the scene that showed Xu Que’s body smashed that was expected by everyone didn’t appear. On the contrary, Yi Zhong was knocked back together with his black halberd. Many wounds could be seen on his hands. Then he fell to the ground and turned pale from terror. The old man was still standing there with his cane in his hand, while he placed his other hand behind his back. He was as calm as a secluded expert. His old eyes were filled with indifference. Then he said as he shook his head and looked at Yi Zhong, who was lying on the ground, “You are too weak!”

Wow! Instantly, all the people in this area stared open-mouthed with disbelief! “How…could this be?” The Jade Lake’s guardian at the Golden Celestial Stage asked in surprise. Bai Cailing’s mouth was also open wide as she looked at Xu Que in surprise.

Ji Wuyun, the sovereign of the Dark Shadow Pagoda, said in a low voice as his hands trembled in his sleeves, “The physique of this old man is extraordinary!”

Everyone had figured out that this old man had wounded Yi Zhong without using his Celestial Core Power. He had borne the attack of a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage with an Inferior Celestial Artifact with his physique, which was totally amazing. Even the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus of the Sage Sect couldn’t realize that.

“You…you…this is impossible! Why is your physique so tough? You must be wearing a protective magic artifact at the level of Low-grade Celestial Artifact!” Yi Zhong stood up and shouted as he stared at Xu Que at this time. This result was totally unacceptable for him. In a fight he was determined to win, he had failed and was even wounded by his opponent. The point was that this old man was just at the Half-Celestial Stage and full of Lifeless Qi. He was the sovereign of the Divine Farmer Clan. He hadn’t gained an upper hand in the fight even though he used an Inferior Celestial Artifact, which was totally unacceptable for him.

“I never use Celestial Artifacts because my body is a Celestial Artifact! So, please don’t be surprised if you are killed by me!” Like an unfathomable expert, Xu Que spoke as he looked at Yi Zhong calmly.

Ji Wuyun looked at Bai Cailing and moved his lips to send a message to her, “Holy Virgin, who is this old man?”

“Eh…actually, I don’t know his name! He is my friend Xu Que’s father. So we call him Elder Xu!” Bai Cailing replied with a wry smile because she had also been shocked by Xu Que. She never expected Xu Que’s father would be so powerful even though he looked so frail. Apparently, this old man is quite tough! Right! His physique is really tough! Really tough!

“Xu Que’s father!” Ji Wuyun murmured in a low voice in order to remember that name as he looked at Xu Que thoughtfully. He was quite curious what physique-strengthening magic art this old man was using. No, his tough physique couldn’t be realized through magic arts! It is absolutely a tough physique, and it is as powerful as the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus!

“What? You are asking me a question, right? What can I do for you?” Xu Que turned to Ji Wuyun suddenly.

Ji Wuyun was shocked for he didn’t expect that his murmur could be heard. This old man is really extraordinary! He took this opportunity to ask with a smile, “Elder Xu, could you tell me if your physique is the Divine Being?”

“The Divine Being?” Xu Que snorted disdainfully. “Humph! How could the pathetic Divine Being rival my physique? Check my physique carefully with your eyes!” Then he tore his robe open abruptly.

Scratch!

When his robe was torn apart, his strong muscles and tender skin appeared in front of the people. All the people in the area were shocked by what they saw. Could this be the body of a frail old man? At the same time, Xu Que raised his head as he turned to the people.

“The…Holy Physique?” All the people were shocked when they saw the two golden characters on Xu Que’s chest. Who the hell would write the name of his physique on his chest? This old man… is really good at showing off!
