The Rose Empress hadn’t yet suffered severe injuries, hadn’t yet reached a critical moment, yet Jun Changxiao actually arrived ahead of time, then neutralized all seven forces coming from above and below!
After breaking through to Sword-Martial Dual Saint, he was now truly so powerful that…
Just then, Jun Changxiao quietly retracted the Xuanyuan Divine Armor that had been hidden under the black robe into his spatial ring.
Well then.
So it was like this.
The question arose.
Why was Jun Changxiao wearing a black robe, deliberately covering his head?
The reason was simple—after using One Punch Must Kill, his full head of black lustrous hair had all been lost.
What he absolutely couldn’t tolerate was that after returning to the sect, he sprayed on hair growth agent, and the result was no effect at all!
The System’s crow’s mouth prediction had really come true.
The side effects brought by One Punch Must Kill—even magical modified hair growth agent was useless!
For this, Gou Sheng spent most of the day cursing the System in his heart. He cursed so much that the other party truly couldn’t take it anymore and could only forcibly self-shut down for a long while.
As the Xingyun Continent’s Sect Master of considerable status and reputation, as the Plane Battlefield’s conscienceless killing god, going out with a bald head would definitely be embarrassing. So he could only wear the black robe rewarded from supreme merchandise.
From this, one could see Jun Changxiao actually still had some face.
If it were the Purple Lin Demon King, forget a bald head—he wouldn’t feel ashamed facing heroes from all under heaven even stark naked.
However, after an extremely impressive entrance where he shattered various forces, the powerful (pretentious) wind directly blew open the black robe, and his shiny bald head was immediately revealed.
The Rose Empress, who had been infatuated with that black robe, saw Gou Sheng’s smooth and rounded bald head. Her beautiful eyes immediately sparkled with luster, and she almost couldn’t resist flying over to extend her hand and vigorously rub it.
“He knows I like it.”
“So he deliberately shaved his head bald?”
“He clearly cares about me but acts aloof. What a duplicitous person.”
After a round of self-speculation, the Rose Empress displayed the shy bearing of a little woman, speaking to herself. The eyes looking at Jun Changxiao were filled with the love that only a wife would have.
“Stop being self-absorbed.”
Jun Changxiao could no longer suppress his irritable emotions. He turned his head and roared with bared fangs and brandished claws: “My baldness isn’t to cater to you!”
“Baldy.”
Senior He hung suspended in midair and said: “Are you a martial artist from the Soul Clan Continent?”
To instantly break through the powerful force gathered by their six people—this young man who had gone bald possessed strength that couldn’t be underestimated.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao turned his head, his eyes blood-red as he said: “What did you call me?”
This gaze was extremely frightening, causing Senior He and other powerhouses to involuntarily shudder.
A shudder?
That was too mild.
Hong Yao, standing not far to the side, was currently suspended in midair, but both his hands and legs were trembling violently, and the muscles on his face were twitching as if having a seizure.
“Palace Master Hong, what’s wrong with you?”
A Heaven-tier powerhouse from Shara Continent inquired.
“He… he… he…” Hong Yao managed “he” for quite a while before finally struggling to say the rest: “It’s Jun Changxiao!”
Jun Changxiao?
The several Heaven-tier powerhouses furrowed their brows slightly.
Suddenly, the expressions on their faces changed uniformly and in unison, as they cried out: “You mean that Twenty-Thousand Slayer, Eternal Sect’s Sect Master Jun Changxiao?”
“That’s right…”
After Hong Yao finished speaking, his facial expression and mental state completely collapsed.
Because even a fool could see that Jun Changxiao suddenly killed his way here and stood before the Rose Empress—he was definitely protecting her!
The two definitely had a relationship. The two definitely had something going on!
If it were anyone else, no matter how strong their backing, Hong Yao would be wary but wouldn’t show it. Only facing Jun Changxiao did he truly almost collapse on the ground.
This was Big Brother.
This was Grandpa.
This was Father!
My Scarlet Sea Continent absolutely cannot provoke him!
Thinking that this alliance was organized and led by himself, Hong Yao’s blood boiled within, and he couldn’t suppress spitting out a mouthful.
Jun Changxiao hadn’t released particularly strong pressure, hadn’t deliberately looked at him. Merely standing behind the Rose Empress was enough to scare someone to vomit blood. His deterrent power was truly formidable!
Of course.
The big shots from Lingyun Continent, Shengxuan Continent, and other alliance members also had their blood boiling at this moment, almost unable to resist spitting it out.
“Palace Master Hong.”
Jun Changxiao’s cold gaze swept over the six Heaven-tier experts as he said in a heavy voice: “What heinous crime has the Soul Clan Continent committed to make all of you mobilize troops in such numbers to target them together?”
Hong Yao: “…”
Why the fuck wasn’t I drinking tea and bathing in the outpost? Why the fuck did I appear here!
“So fragrant.”
Inside the Nine Heavens Continent outpost, Mo Shangsheng was contentedly savoring his tea.
“Husband.”
The Rose Empress said: “After my Soul Clan Continent replaced a bastard plane that violated the rules and came to the battlefield, they competed to bully us. After I beat them away, they refused to accept it and united.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s face was full of speechlessness.
The bastard plane you’re talking about is my Xingyun Continent!
Hong Yao and others gradually opened their mouths wide.
Hus… husband?
This Rose Empress was Jun Changxiao’s… wife?!
If the ground cracked open a hole right now, Hong Yao would definitely be the first to drill into it, then bury himself, pretending he never appeared, feigning he never existed.
Speaking of which, it was also strange.
Jun Changxiao didn’t reject the “husband” form of address. He said coldly: “Which of you took the lead?”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
The powerhouses from Lingyun Continent, Shengxuan Continent, and other sides, as well as the six Heaven-tier experts, moved with remarkably uniform actions pointing at Hong Yao!
“Damn it!”
Hong Yao’s mentality had already collapsed. Now that a group of teammates were also screwing him over, it truly was…
“Palace Master Hong.”
Jun Changxiao stroked his smooth bald head, his gaze cold and stern as he said: “When will you change this habit of bullying newcomers?”
“Sect Master Jun! A misunderstanding!”
Hong Yao’s inner depths had an extremely strong will to survive. Even though his expression had collapsed beyond recognition, he still didn’t give up and said: “This is definitely a huge misunderstanding!”
Having said this, he bent his body.
Holding several spatial rings in both hands, his voice trembling, he said: “Please listen to Hong here’s explanation!”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao swept his large hand and collected the rings. His spiritual sense merged into them and discovered quite a few spirit stones inside. He said: “I’ll give you a chance to explain.”
Hong Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly adjusted his thinking and organized his words, saying: “Isn’t there an opportunity emerging? Our alliance united together for the convenience of obtaining it, absolutely not intentionally targeting Lady Jun!”
“Lady Jun?”
The Rose Empress thought to herself: “Other planes’ customs seem to all have women follow men’s surnames.”
What’s this about?
From the sound of it, was Soul Clan Continent’s custom for men to follow women’s surnames? Would outsiders seeing Gou Sheng have to address him as Consort Hua?
“Is that so?”
Jun Changxiao looked coldly at the big shots from other planes.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
“Is that so?”
Jun Changxiao asked again, with the word “so” drawn out considerably higher in tone.
The big shots from various planes had all been extorted before and already had rich experience. They instantly came to a realization and held up their spatial rings, saying: “Yes, yes, yes!”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao swept his hand, very skillfully collecting them all, and said: “Opportunities are things that rely on luck. If you can’t force it, don’t force it. Why must you form alliances?”
“Sect Master Jun’s words are very reasonable!”
Hong Yao cupped his fists and said: “Hong here still has matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“Go on, go on,” Jun Changxiao said.
Hong Yao, drenched in sweat, turned to leave. However, having just walked a short distance, he heard Jun Changxiao call out loudly: “Palace Master Hong, on a chosen day, Jun here will personally come to pay a visit.”
“Ptui!”
Palace Master Hong spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was clearly going to extort him again!
The Rose Empress was his wife. He himself had united with other planes together to target her. With the matter blown up this big, if he could settle it with just a few hundred thousand spirit stones, he wouldn’t be the conscienceless Jun Changxiao!
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
The martial artists from Lingyun Continent, Shengxuan Continent, and other planes departed one after another. However, before leaving, they were all reminded by Gou Sheng that on a chosen day, he would come to visit.
“The six of you should be from the first-tier Vast Continent and Shara Continent, right?” Just as several Heaven-tier powerhouses were about to slip away, Jun Changxiao called out loudly: “After you return, please be sure to inform your outpost masters that Jun here will personally come to pay a visit before long.”
Subtext—
Have your bosses prepare the money for me!
“…”
The six Heaven-tier powerhouses’ mouths twitched, then they quickly disappeared with their people.
In a moment, the sixty to seventy thousand martial artists who had originally gathered in the area where the opportunity emerged had already disappeared without a trace. Even the martial artists purely there to snatch the opportunity had hidden at the farthest distance. A world-shaking great battle that hadn’t begun was declared finished.
“Alas.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head and said: “This is deterrent power.”
Suddenly, he turned around and grasped the jade hand reaching toward him, his gaze cold and stern as he said: “What are you doing!”
“Swish!”
The Rose Empress coiled around Jun Changxiao like a serpent. Her other hand shot out swift as lightning and landed on his head, smiling as she said: “Husband, your head is so round and smooth.”
