623 First One Punched (1/2)
The last batch of golden swords in the sky had been smashed by Xu Que. The deafening explosion echoed all around. Countless golden lightning bolts, which had been smashed, were dissipating in the sky.
However, the magic art used by Bai Lingrui had turned into an enormous finger, which was pressing down toward Xu Que as if it were about to smash an ant.
Xu Que screamed as if confronting a formidable enemy. ”Don't jab me, Bai Baihe!” His movements were so fast that he easily evaded the startling finger.
After that, he ignited the Divine Escape Spell in this hand and disappeared immediately.
Everyone was shocked.
”How could this be?”
”That's the mysterious finger move of the Azure Lotus Treasure Appraisal Art, which could seal the void. Nobody could possibly escape it!”
Many people were startled, even a lot of Holy Sons and Holy Virgins were shocked.
They knew about this magic art of Bai Lingrui, which originated from the Azure Lotus Treasure Appraisal Art. And the name of this magic art was Azure Lotus Finger. Although it was not a powerful magic art, even they couldn't guarantee they could escape it!
But now, that guy who could remain calm in front of the horrible Heavenly Tribulations managed to evade that finger instantly, while screaming in terror.
Xu Que's action confused all the onlookers.
Since he could evade the attack easily, why did he react with such panic, as if he had been attacked by a horrible magic art? Is he insane?
Bai Lingrui's face also darkened. She thought she could capture Xu Que with her magic art so that he would be killed by the explosion of those golden swords. But it turned out that she'd failed again.
That guy evaded the Azure Lotus Finger easily with a panicked expression. He even called her by the wrong name.
For Bai Lingrui, Xu Que was mocking her deliberately!
Whoosh!
Soon, Xu Que, who had just left with the Divine Escape Spell, anxiously returned.
Along with the dissipating golden lightning in the sky, the Heavenly Tribulation had finished. Jiang Hongyan had also been saved. Now Xu Que could relax. He decided to punish the Holy Sons, Holy Virgins, and powerhouses from the big Families and Sects.
Rushing over from afar, Xu Que saw Bai Lingrui immediately, so he solemnly said, ”Bai Baihe, you can speak your mind freely, but please don't jab me again! If you want to jab someone, Dong Genji is the best candidate!”
Dong Genji's lips twitched. He was quite furious but he had to maintain his gentle appearance in front of Jiang Hongyan, so he restrained his anger and said nothing.
Xu Que's words made Bai Lingrui tremble with rage. Her face darkened. ”Mind your tongue!” she scolded angrily. ”I am Bai Lingrui, the Holy Virgin of the Bai Family. I am not Bai Baihe! If you continue to talk rubbish, I will make you lose the will to live!”
Puff!
”Stop pretending to be innocent! In this world, only Bai Baihe could use such a powerful One Finger Zen! You said you are not Bai Baihe, can you prove that?” Xu Que asked dubiously.
”You…” Bai Lingrui was so angry that she started to tremble again as she stared at Xu Que furiously. However, she didn't know how to reply.
As the noble Holy Virgin, she didn't need to prove she was not Bai Baihe. Someone dared asked her to prove that! This was totally absurd!
The onlookers were also speechless.
Why should she prove that? Is it really necessary? You're really impudent!
”This little brat is really good at teasing others. However . . . who is Bai Baihe? It sounds like the name of a lady!” Liu Jingning smiled, also relaxing after Xu Que had narrowly beaten the Heavenly Tribulation.
When she said that, she glanced over at Jiang Hongyan. Whether Liu Jingning realized she was doing it or not, she wanted to tease the other woman by raising the question of whether or not Xu Que knew too many women.
Jiang Hongyan said nothing as she sat on the ground, crossing her legs as if she heard nothing. She was running her True Core Strength to heal her wounds!
