“It’s a trap!”
Jiang Yushu realized something was wrong, so he stepped back immediately.
The rest of the people also raised their eyebrows. This wasn’t Xu Que’s style! Why would he actively help them heal their wounds?
Xu Que said calmly, “Elder Jiang, don’t you want to heal your wounds? Actually, I also have a reason. I can’t enter the ancient hall because I don’t have any Taoist Connotation. Therefore, I have to heal you, and I have only one requirement. After entering the hall, you must save Jiang Hongyan and bring her out. You can’t hurt her; otherwise, all of you will die!”
“Hum! We paid the Spirit Stones to you, it’s only right for you to heal our wounds! You aren’t qualified to make such demands! And how dare you threaten us?” the Gong family’s elder snorted immediately.
Xu Que said with a cold smile, “Then you can get lost! You aren’t qualified to enjoy our treatment. You’re done!”
Xu Que was in a bad mood. How could he tolerate the mystifying manner of the Gong family’s elder?
“You…” the Gong family’s elder was immediately annoyed. His eyes were full of killing intent.
At this moment, Dong Genji stepped out and said with a smile, “You misunderstood Elder Dong. Please don’t ruin our friendship. Now, the ancient hall is still there, we should work together to get into it.”
“Hmph!” the Gong family’s elder snorted and didn’t argue with Xu Que anymore.
He was quite clear on the fact that he could never enter the Ancient Bronze Hall if Xu Que didn’t heal his wounds.
Xu Que kept sneering on the inside. From Liu Jingning’s words, he knew these people were too weak to survive the ancient hall. Even he could heal them, they still wouldn’t able to save Jiang Hongyan!
Of course, Xu Que couldn’t try it at all. Even if these people could enter the ancient hall after recovery, they might endanger Jiang Hongyan!
Now, Xu Que also wanted to enter the Ancient Bronze Hall. However, it was a pity that he could never make it happen without the Taoist Connotation!
“My fellow cultivator, I, Dong Genji, will accept your conditions. Hongyan is my good friend. I will definitely save her. However, we have agreed to observe the rule of ‘first come, first served.’ The Carefree Building paid the Spirit Stones first, so we should enjoy the treatment first!” Dong Genji said with a gentle smile.
Everyone else had a poker-face. Everyone knew Dong Genji’s reputation as a hypocrite. They had grown used to his acting.
Xu Que waved his hand, “No more arguments! Since you’ve paid the Spirit Stones, I will help you to recover. Now lie down! Buttface can heal you all at once, but you’ll have to endure the pain!”
“Of course!” Dong Genji said delightedly. If he could regain strength, he would kill Xu Que first.
The rest of the people also nodded. They had witnessed Xu Que’s recovery before. When his bones were hit back into his body, it must have been very painful. However, since Xu Que could endure it, why couldn’t they?
Being guided by Xu Que, 20 powerhouses at the Void Training Stage who had paid 1,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones came to an open space and laid down.
They were not afraid that Xu Que could harm them, for all of them knew Xu Que was almost a waste of a man. No matter how powerful his magic arts were, without the Taoist Connotation, he couldn’t reach the Void Training Stage and consequently, couldn’t kill them.
“Sorry for the trouble, Buttface! Don’t worry, I’ll use elixirs to help you recover!” Xu Que said while looking at Buttface lovingly.
Buttface came up and sighed, “Alas! Fine, to rescue one person from death is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This is my destiny. I’m ready to pay any price!”
After saying that, he walked to the 20 powerhouses at the Void Training Stage with a grim expression and reluctant steps. Then he waved his paws in the air as if he was using marvelous magic arts.
Standing behind Buttface with a cold smile, Xu Que asked while looking at Liu Jingning, “You really have no idea how I could obtain the Taoist Connotation in a short time, right?”
Teasing these fools was nothing important. The most urgent issue now was to find a way to save Jiang Hongyan.
Liu Jingning shook her head, “No. Your situation was totally unprecedented. I also want to know, how did you reach your current status without the Taoist Connotation?”
“Did you know that some cultivators lost the Taoist Connotation because of accidents during cultivation?” Xu Que asked unwillingly. Normally, if that happened, someone would always try to regain the Taoist Connotation. And this method might have also suited him.
“Of course! However, after losing their Taoist Connotation, these cultivators were useless. There was nothing they could do to remedy that. Moreover, they couldn’t gain any progress in their cultivation. For the rest of their lives, they were just ordinary people who could use magic arts!” Liu Jingning said.
Xu Que became depressed immediately. This was so frustrating. After so many years, nobody could work out a way to regain the Taoist Connotation!
“Just lie down, I’m going to heal your wounds!” Buttface shouted at this moment. Then he dashed towards Dong Genji, who was closest to him.
Whoosh!
Buttface jumped into the sky and abruptly kicked between the legs of Dong Genji.
Bang!
“Ah…”
Instantly, Dong Genji sat up and screamed hysterically.
“Hey, why are you screaming? Your lower body was wounded by that guy before. I’m healing your wounds first. If you scream like this, my treatment won’t work!” Buttface said, furrowing his eyebrows.
The others were shocked.
Could it be that the dog’s treatment will lose effectiveness if we scream out our pain?
“Exactly! I was beaten up miserably before, but I didn’t scream. Why are you screaming? Dong Genji, at least you’re a Building Head. How could you yield to such a slight pain?” Xu Que also said exasperatedly from afar.
At this moment, Dong Genji almost wanted to kill someone.
He already had the feeling that Xu Que and Buttface were cheating them.
However, when he brought back the memories of Xu Que’s treatment. Xu Que indeed hadn’t screamed. Therefore, his disbelief was turned away temporarily. He endured the sharp pain by clenching his teeth and said, “Okay… this… time I will definitely not scream!”
“Good!” Buttface nodded and stepped back. He started to get a running start and jumped high in the sky. The next moment, he gave another kick at Dong Genji’s lower body as he came down like a cannonball.
Bang!
This time, Buttface’s kick was so powerful that it even created a big hole in the ground. His entire foot was in the soil. Dong Genji’s lower body had already turned into a bloody mess.
“Ah…” no matter how hard Dong Genji tried to endure, he couldn’t put up with the pain anymore, so he screamed hysterically again.
This pain was something only men could understand!
“Damn! You screamed again! Do you actually want to heal your wound? I’ve wasted two treatments!” Buttface said angrily.
Xu Que also shook his head, “Alas! What a spoiled child! If he couldn’t put up with the pain, Buttface, just heal the others’ wounds!”
The rest of the people also frowned.
Dong Genji is too weak! As a powerhouse at the Void Training Stage, you were just beaten by a dog several times. Why couldn’t you endure the pain?
“Forget it. Your lower body is hopeless. I’ll heal wounds for the others, for I can’t waste my power on you!” Buttface said, shaking his head.
Xu Que suddenly shouted in surprise, “Wait! Buttface, I think you’ve used the wrong magic art! I asked you to heal them with the ‘Ultimate Unmatched Give Me Back My Health Fist,’ why did you use the ‘Dick Breaker Kick’?”
“Ah?” Buttface was confused immediately. Soon, after it suddenly dawned upon him, he said, “Holy sh*t! I did use the wrong magic art! Sorry, buddy!”
Dong Genji was almost driven crazy by the pain. Hearing the dialogue between Xu Que and Buttface, he became annoyed immediately.
However, before he had time to say something, Xu Que shouted angrily, “Sorry? If sorry could work, why would we need policemen? Sh*t! He’s been wounded miserably by you! Quickly! You must repair his pen*s with an earthworm!”
