Outside the Demon Emperor Gate’s outer courtyard, a group of black-robed masked figures leaped out.
They split into two rows, their right arms trembling slightly as the three-foot-long swords on their backs flew from their sheaths, connecting to each other in midair, extending in a straight line toward the mountain gate like a paved pathway.
“Welcome, Sect Master!”
“Whoosh!”
A black-robed figure carrying intense demonic energy flew out from the inner courtyard.
His feet lightly stepped onto the long swords, gliding like a dragonfly touching water before landing gracefully on the entrance archway inscribed with the three characters “Demon Emperor Gate.”
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes widened.
This entrance style was incredibly flashy!
When I have time, I’ll need to research my own entrance methods—that’s the kind of prestige a sect master should have!
“Sect Master!”
Young Master Yuan and the black-robed elder hurriedly bowed respectfully.
“Mm.”
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master nodded. Because he wore a fierce mask, his features were difficult to discern.
“Sect Master Jun.”
Standing at the mountain gate like a king looking down from on high, he said, “Sect Master Jun keeps coming to extort money—do you take my Demon Emperor Gate for a bank?”
Jun Changxiao replied rather displeased, “The way you put it makes it sound like I’m deliberately coming to swindle money.”
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master sneered coldly, “Sect Master Jun, my Demon Emperor Gate injured your ally. I express deep regret, but as for compensation—that won’t be necessary.”
Young Master Yuan’s mouth twitched.
He had been planning to negotiate with Jun Changxiao, but now that the Sect Master had appeared, his plans were completely ruined!
If both sides couldn’t reach an agreement because of this, their conflict would definitely continue to worsen, reaching an irreconcilable point!
My heart.
So tired, so tired, so tired.
“Young Master Yuan.”
Jun Changxiao looked over, his brow slightly furrowed. “Your Sect Master says he expresses deep regret, so he doesn’t plan to compensate?”
Young Master Yuan: “…”
“Sect Master Jun.”
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master said indifferently, “I’ve expressed my regret—I’ve already given you plenty of face. If you’re sensible, leave quickly. From now on, we’ll mind our own business.”
“What if I don’t leave?” Jun Changxiao said coldly.
Coming all this way to Spirit Crossing Valley, and with Palace Master Miao Hua at his side—if he returned empty-handed, where would he put his handsome face?
“Sect Master Jun, your Eternal Ancient Sect’s achievements today weren’t easily won. Don’t throw away your bright future over petty gains,” the Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master said.
Jun Changxiao’s gaze turned cold. “Are you threatening me?”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master’s body erupted with powerful demonic energy that instantly spread outward. He said indifferently, “I just want Sect Master Jun to recognize reality.”
A threat.
A blatant threat!
“Ding! Side quest triggered.”
Jun Changxiao pulled up the quest panel, which read—Teach the Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master a Lesson [Elite Quest].
Very simple, very straightforward!
“Young Master Yuan.” Jun Changxiao withdrew the panel data that only he could see and said indifferently, “Your Sect Master is somewhat off the mark.”
“…”
Young Master Yuan fell silent.
He was only the Vice Sect Master and had no authority to interfere with the Sect Master’s decisions.
Heavens!
What kind of teammates do I have!
“Very well.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Since you won’t pay and you’re threatening me, then there’s only…” His gaze immediately turned cold. “All-out war!”
“War?”
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master sneered, “Sect Master Jun, you think too highly of yourself.”
“Is that so?”
Jun Changxiao pointed at the sky. “Look, a plane.”
A plane?
Everyone looked bewildered and instinctively raised their heads.
“Whoosh—”
At that moment, Demon King Zilin, whose clothes and pants had burst from his muscles, hovered in midair. His right hand suddenly reached out, his powerful demonic energy transforming into a sinister giant hand that ruthlessly pressed down toward the mountain gate.
“Impudent!”
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master shouted coldly. His hands suddenly lifted upward, demonic energy surging like waves, instantly meeting that demonic energy-filled palm strike.
“Boom!”
The two powerful forces collided violently in midair. Visible ripples instantly spread in all directions, followed by a deafening explosion!
The several hundred disciples in the Demon Emperor Gate’s outer courtyard were forced to retreat repeatedly by the chaotic energy, their gazes immediately filling with shock!
Young Master Yuan’s heart turned ice cold!
Now that things had reached this point, the opposition between Demon Emperor Gate and Eternal Ancient Sect would be irreversible!
He had worked so hard to avoid becoming enemies with Jun Changxiao, but in the end they still reached the point of armed confrontation—this was undoubtedly extremely painful!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In the area where demonic energy and demon energy intermingled, two more explosions sounded in succession. Demon King Zilin and the Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master flew out, instantly battling from low altitude to high altitude, each punch capable of shattering the void.
“Palace Master Xi.”
Jun Changxiao released his spiritual energy, forming a defensive energy wall before him. “Are you alright?”
“I’m… I’m fine…” Xi Jingxuan said.
With only Wuwang-level strength, if not for the energy wall protecting her, she would have difficulty resisting even the pressure aura released by the Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
High in the sky, the battle continued. This level of combat was truly earth-shattering—the Demon Emperor Gate’s leadership and disciples were all dumbfounded.
“Boom—”
Demon King Zilin clashed fists with the Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master again, immediately sent flying backward, then staggering as he landed on the ground.
Clearly, he was at a disadvantage again!
Demon King Zilin wasn’t discouraged—instead, a contemptuous smile curled at his lips.
In terms of strength, this Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master was far inferior to Battlefield Ghost. Even if he couldn’t beat him, he wouldn’t lose too miserably.
“Hall Master Zi.”
Jun Changxiao transmitted his voice. “You wear him down first. When the fight’s about done, leave him to me.”
“…”
Demon King Zilin’s mouth twitched violently.
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master sneered, “No wonder you dared come to my territory to extort money—turns out you have such a powerful subordinate.”
“Cut the crap!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The two engaged in fierce combat in the sky again, their power causing massive spatial collapse.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
The fierce beasts in Spirit Crossing Valley, sensing the two terrifying forces, fled in panic in all directions.
The spatial barriers of the Dimensional Battlefield were very strong, yet they still couldn’t withstand the battle between Demon King Zilin and Battlefield Ghost and would shatter. The spatial barriers of Xingyun Continent were even less capable.
So, after the two had exchanged just a few dozen moves, the collapsed area in the sky had already spread several hundred zhang. Demon energy and demonic energy rampaged wildly, as if the entire world was about to be torn apart!
“Demon Seal Palm!”
“Bang—”
“Boom!”
Demon King Zilin fell like a cannonball once more, causing a hundred-zhang radius of ground to cave in.
The restrained Tiger Force Great King and Deer Horn Great King’s eyes nearly split with rage—after all, this was their territory, and if they kept fighting so recklessly, it would eventually be completely destroyed!
“Damn it!”
Demon King Zilin slowly rose, his gaze flashing with fury.
In terms of strength, this Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master wasn’t as good as a Heaven-class Battlefield Ghost, so why was he becoming more troublesome to fight?
Because the opponent was a demon cultivator with intelligence, mastery of various martial techniques, and rich combat experience, while the Battlefield Ghost he’d fought before was ultimately just a low-level creature with brute strength.
“Swish!”
Demon King Zilin raised his hand.
The spatial ring on his little finger flashed with light, and Hell’s Fury appeared out of thin air.
Witnessing him put on pink boxing gloves decorated with heart patterns, the Demon Emperor Gate disciples were thrown into confusion.
Not only was he stark naked, but he also wore something that only girls would use—this purple-haired guy was definitely a huge pervert!
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master frowned. “Disgusting!”
“Swish!”
At that moment, Demon King Zilin appeared before him, his fist carrying infinite love striking out fiercely.
“Boom—”
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master was sent flying, crashing into a distant mountain peak with a bang.
“Whoosh!”
Demon King Zilin flew over, pink fist shadows erupting instantly, overwhelming the mountain peak.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Explosions continued, dust flying everywhere!
Demon King Zilin stopped, and a fierce wind cleared everything away.
The Demon Emperor Gate’s Sect Master hovered with his arms crossed, protected by a materialized barrier, while the mountain peak behind him had been pulverized to flat ground by the force!
